From "the liberal court/media bias" department - Online headline: "Federal judge halts Obama's amnesty Executive Order * Set to go into effect Wednesday, the first of Obama's immigration reforms that would protect millions has seen a major setback. * Order made by outspoken judge" -- "order made by outspoken judge"? Oh... those federal judges that continue to step on the states' rights issue of same-sex marriages while that issue is already in the Supreme Court's discussion are not considered "outspoken"?

It's not only unbelievable that Obamageddon is having Social Security cards issued to illegal aliens..it's actually anti-American. Americans and their companies fund Social Security, not the government. Instead of "Social Security" cards..just give green cards with numbers that set-up account capabilities so deduction/contributions can be withheld in their names to be used for expenses of becoming an American Citizen in the future, and then convert it to a Social Security account status when citizenship is attained.

Other than spend money (and more likely other people's money), and send the wrong message to a 1000s of Little League aged Chicago kids.. what is the purpose of giving 11/12 year olds "Championship" rings.. first, they will be fraudulent, but how many of those kids would be able to even wear them as adults or be wanting to explain "wha' happened" to any children they may have when older?

There has to be concern in Dr Lewis' office..just hearing he's backtracking on actually listing out MCSD SPLOST projects by the costs and priorities is a big admission that "they" are worried..

Online story: "While discussing contentious voting laws in the United States, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) wondered: Why does anyone need to register to vote in the first place? * Speaking earlier this month at the U.S. Vote Foundation’s Voting and Elections Summit in Washington, D.C., the Democratic lawmaker asserted that there must be a bipartisan effort to “make voting easier.” -- Hmmm... maybe 20,000 of "us" should plan to "vacation" in MN during the election period of 2016 and demand we get to vote in Ellison's re-election bid based on his own desire to "make voting easier". Hey Ellison, "what difference will it make"?

Online story: "Senate Democrats are waging open warfare on the proposal, which would give the state new powers to take over perennially failing schools. The chamber’s top Democratic leaders have loudly criticized the plan as an overreach and said more funding, and not new governance, is needed." -- Good grief... all Democrats know how to do is whine about more good money is needed to repair their failures...Is this not exactly the situation that the MCSD is trying to do with SPLOST 2015?

Speaking of Democrats - Online story: "Georgia state House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams accepts the Emily’s List “rising star” award from former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords" -- Remember Stacey Abrams? She's the GA House rep that was behind using to the Secretary of State's office to hide behind as she orchestrated and illegal partisan-based voter registration movement last summer.

Online story: "Adminis­trators at Georgia’s public colleges have a hard time predicting the popularity of academic majors they offer, according to newly released figures showing a coin toss would be about as accurate. * Of 336 programs approved by the Board of Regents in the past 10 years, just 163, or 49 percent, met or exceeded projected enrollment by their third year, according to the figures of the University System of Georgia. * Accuracy is important because staffing, space and other resources are allocated based on the projections" -- Hmmm... less than half of the state projections "met or exceeded projected enrollment by their third year".. sorta clears up why college costs have soared over every other inflation indicators, and defines why the "HOPE Scholarship" program can't keep up with college administrative/faculty costs.

L-E story: " After a 20-minute discussion about their proper role in hiring a cabinet-level position, Muscogee County School Board members approved David Lewis’ recommendation for interim chief of operations and facilities. * David Goldberg, the assistant superintendent for administrative and support services in the Carroll County School System since 2013, succeeds Myles Caggins, who retired in November after leading the division for 15 years. * The board voted 6-0 to approve Lewis’ recommendation. Myers abstained, and John Thomas of District 2 and Athavia “A.J.” Senior of District 3 were absent." -- You know.. following the discoveries of "an accounting error (though I'm not sure how a missing $30 Million over a few years can be considered "an accounting error)" was revealed at St Francis.. how can there not be a forensic audit called for when, in addition to retiring Chief of Operations and Facilities Officer Myles Caggins, chief financial officer Sharon Adams and chief information officer Forrest Toelle also left the district around the end of last year? " Bringing in an outside "interim" is not the best course of action... in fact it probably is the worst course of action whether there is or is not "an accounting error" that could be revealed by a forensic audit.

Jonathan Gruber extra stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " I have relatives in Florida who are in the one percent income group with holdings in the resort and real estate markets. They don’t pay “37.8 percent” in federal income tax due to legal tax shelters and other incentives." -- Good grief.. obviously we know which member of this family that isn't from the "smart side"...BUT obviously this "soundoffer" is no CPA or Tax Professional..

Jonathan Gruber even-more-stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": "Depriving the school system of millions of dollars of badly needed capital funds without proper justification is playing a game with the future of our city using our children as pawns." -- Good grief...it's not the taxpayers who have to "justify" their votes.. it's the MCSD that has to "justify" the projects, and that hasn't been on it's agenda..

L-E story: "Egypt carried out airstrikes against Islamic State group targets in neighboring Libya on Monday and began a push for international military intervention in the chaotic North African state after extremists beheaded a group of Egyptian Christians." -- Hmmm..there was a time that America would already have been there helping our friends.. but... on the other hand.. what countries even know whether America is still their "friend" or not?

You know.. the 2009 SPLOST deceitfully dangled $223 MILLION (wrongly looking for BRAC to boost sales taxes) worth of "projects" on "the list" to manipulate as many one-issue voters to vote "yes" as possible. After 5 years, "only" $174 was produced, leaving $48/$49 Million of unkept promises ("bait") from coming to fruition...the 2015 SPLOST proposal is at least "cut back" to $192 Million, but reality is that with Ft Benning set to lose about 1,500 local jobs, that the expected revenues will come in shorter that the 2009 revenue totals. The MCSD knows this and it's why no list of specific projects has been published nor any priorities associated with the generalities the MCSD has aired. In fact.. the only sure thing that the MCSD will pay out if this SPLOST passes is the $4,000,000.00 to a bank in Columbus to "float the bonds"..

The alliance is an arm of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, which has made increased transportation funding a priority." -- Wow! and who did they poll? Hey, if I pay for a poll, you can bet the poll will favor my positions... Hey Mayor TomLYINGson, are these the same pollsters used to confirm that the GA DOT build a $244K bathroom and agree with you we need a high speed rail system?

Online story: "Clark Atlanta University officials say they're hosting a discussion on human trafficking featuring former President Jimmy Carter." -- Oh.. can I suggest a destination to "traffic" Cuzzin Jimmy's opinions?
