de Bl(_*_)io really stepped in it by inserting his own political importance
in events concerning the assassination of two NYPD patrolmen. He should not have
forced his way to the forefront of the ceremony.

Online headline: "Ariz. police officer killed in brazen shooting * Flagstaff Officer Tyler Stewart, 24, was fatally shot Saturday after responding to a domestic violence call that quickly turned deadly." -- Don't tell me that police officers HAVE to identify/justify what's in the hand some one digs into a pocket to get or points at an officer. Police officers have wives and children and parents and siblings and friends, too. Police Officers Lives Matter!

Online headline: "US marks end of bloody war in Afghanistan" -- Yeah ..
right... guess Where'sWaldObama can re-use the "Mission Accomplished" banner he
put up in Iraq for Afghanistan.

MCSD "wish LUST" analysis continued:
Item 11 - Columbus Museum electrical and mechanical equipment replacement and upgrades: $3,500,000.00 -- Good grief - The MCSD gets an additional 5 mils over the state's allowable 20 mil cap because of the Museum being under the MCSD umbrella, but the Museum is fully capable of funding itself. In addition.. IT'S ALL MAINTENANCE ISSUES! Please note, also, that as much is being requested to fund maintenance projects at the Museum as is requested to help autistic students.
Item 12 - Kinnett Stadium upgrades (field house, press box, concession stands, restrooms): $3, 175,000.00 -- ALL MAINTENANCE! (On a poignant note.. this makes Mayor TomLYINGson's $244K river front bathroom seem sorta normal)
At this time I'm going to republish the restrictions that are state law on what can/cannot qualify for SPLOST revenue funding:
"A special-purpose local-option sales tax (SPLOST) is a financing method for funding capital outlay projects in the U.S. state of Georgia. It is an optional 1% sales tax levied by any county for the purpose of funding the building of parks, schools, roads, and other public facilities. The revenue generated cannot be used towards operating expenses or most maintenance projects."

Now, if you're keeping track, it's rather obvious that the MCSD is not
maintaining the buildings/facilities we tax payers have already funded.

Online story: "Detroit's 305-pound defensive tackle, Ndamukong Suh,
stumbled back and stepped on Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers' lower left leg while the
quarterback was on the ground at the end of a play." -- Have you ever
unintentionally stepped on someone else's foot? What do you do.. look down to
see what you stepped on.. I do.. it's a reaction. Suh, on the other hand,
stepped, not stumbled, back on Roger's leg, then, instead of looking down to
see, he stepped on Rogers with his other foot, and again did not look at what
had happened. There was nothing unintentional about Suh's actions.

Online headline: "NYPD commissioner says turning backs on Mayor de Blasio
was 'very inappropriate'" --
Inappropriate or not.. it was needed. After all that had happened de
Bl(_*_)io should not have stepped into the limelight. He should just have
blended into the crowd, and let the Ramos family and Ramos' police family have
their public grieving.

Online quote source: "“ When obstacles arise, you change your direction to
reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there. ” - Zig Ziglar "
-- This should be the battle cry for conservatives to rally behind. Even the
worst RINO is better than any Democrat.
