Terrorism? That train/truck wreck in California was no accident...a pickup truck driver stopped his truck on the tracks, set his emergency brake, then fled (he was apprehended about a mile away).

This push for us to accept a negotiated situation between Iran and HEBDObama is something even Tom Clancy couldn't work credibly into a story plot..Iran has no plan to keep its promise not to build a bomb, and HEBDObama saying Iran is trustworthy just confirms it.

---
On Monday.. the campaigns "for" and "against" a SPLOST kicked off their public efforts. You know.. it's more than ironic that the "yes" supporters had their kickoff at the River Club where they could spoon-feed the media with food and beverages while they reinforced how conscious they are about using tax dollars wisely. On the hand. the "NoSchoolBoardTax.com" advocates rolled up their sleeves and took to the streets where the average working person could see them looking out for the taxpayers.

---
Parking at the CSC for "early voting" may be a violation of voters' rights. You enter in one garage driveway, and you're sent up to the second floor, and if you enter the other one, you either have to have a HDCP tag/medallion or be eligible to use one of the 10 "Reserved" for unnamed government employees. I went by yesterday, and there were only 5 places available for voters to park on the ground floor, and all of those were reserved for government employees..Oh, those are the spaces Councilor Judy Thomas campaigned on as being for the public..

---
A "NO" vote on the 2015 SPLOST is not a vote against SPLOSTs in general, nor against a better education of our community's children..it's simply a note to delay the SPLOST until next year so there's time for proper discussion and analyzation of how our tax dollars can be better used towards that goal. A "NO" vote just says to the MCSD and Board that " we're watching you". The past few Boards have seemed to have forgotten this.

---
Looking through files/items in the MCSD has revealed something I can only describe as nonconforming..maybe even weird. Employee lists group personnel alphabetically, but do so by first/given names. That just seems to he very unprofessional in my opinion.

---
You know..when one SPLOST ends, if it was successful in bringing good education to its apex, then the public would be eager to see/know how a new SPLOST could keep the ball moving. This last SPLOST failed to do this, so let's get the MCSD straightened out .. not only on what we expect, but what we want.
---
L-E "headlie"/story: "It's official: MCSD's proposed SPLOST projects can't be prioritized before referendum * If waiting for the Muscogee County School Board to prioritize the proposed sales tax projects is keeping you from early voting, then wait no longer. * It can’t happen before the referendum." -- The only truth in this is that the SPLOST wording on the ballot can't be changed.. but there's nothing that prohibits a honest Superintendent from sharing the truth with the taxpayers.. Lewis and 7 members of the Board just do not want to pin them selves down to specific projects and priorities. These 8 just want a super-sized slush fund that they can divvy up as they see fit.
---
L-E's "Quotable": "The power to question is the basis of all human progress." - Indira Gandhi, Indian political leader ( 1917-1984)" -- Whoa.. you can bet this slogan is not on the walls of the MCSD Board room nor at any of the SPLOST forums!
---
Jonathan Gruber EXTRA-EXTRA-stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": "f previous Board members had been like Myers and Thomas, Kinnett Stadium and Northside would not exist, Jordan would be shuttered, and Columbus High would have been torn down instead of rebuilt after its fire." -- When Columbus High was rebuilt and Kinnett was built, it was in the 80's, and we had an appointed school board.. in fact. we had a school board of concerned people who by law could not do business with the school system. Why does the L-E allow.. maybe even manufacture such false information? Oh, I know, the L-E agenda benefits.

---
Online headline: "Katy Perry looks unrecognizable without makeup" -- You know.. as long as celebrities have to "put their face on" to be recognizable in public, then why don't they jus put on a face of respectability and decency?

---
ISIS has taken 100 +/- Christians in Syria.. in Iraq, there is concern that Christians will be wiped out.. Where are peace loving Muslims/Islamists standing up for religious rights for all? Why is this genocidal movement of secondary importance to American mainstream media. This is Holocaust II, but Islamist terrorist are publicizing their hatred where Hitler tried to conceal his .

---
Yesterday, I encouraged everyone to read Chuck William's column.. it was about a federal judge's comments on doing his duty to make decisions based on the US Constitution, not personal feelings/desires. * Hopefully Chuck will go after judges that use the court to write/rewrite the laws to reflect their personal agenda versus what the Constitution says.

---
Online headline: "Obama defies GOP by vetoing Keystone XL" -- Hmmm now HEBDObama is drawing "red lines" with his pen. Will the Republicans lay down or do what ASSwad in Syria did.. cross the red lines HEBDObama drew in the sand?

---
Online headline: "DOJ: No charges for Zimmerman" -- Good grief... the DOJ didn't have a reason to even stick its nose into the situation, and now is trying to suggest its doing everyone a favor...

---
Hey, Pric Holder... speaking of places you've errantly stuck your nose into, how about using it to "root out" Al Sharlatan.. the families of Garner (NYC), Brown (Ferguson), and Trayvon Martin are in unison that Al Sharlatan has basically confiscated moist of the "donations" he collected in their names.

---
Apparently the Cleveland Browns are getting a new logo.. it's basically the same, but with new shades.. One fan summed it up trendily.. "Fifty Shades of Orange".. Not bad.. but there's a better choice.. "Fifty Years of Failure".

---
Online headline: "Man found guilty of murder defends himself, seeks death penalty" -- Good grief.. the man killed his girlfriend AND his 5-YEAR OLD SON! Now, his seeking his own death has resulted in the DA giving him a plea-bargain "out". It's bad enough that liberals don't feel and crime is heinous enough for the death penalty, but now we have DA's abandoning what was a terrific opportunity to rid the world of another vermin.
Of course, the worse thing is that even if the DA got the death sentence, some liberal activist judge would have thrown it out based on no sane person wants to die...
---
Online headline: "GUILTY: Ex-Marine gets life in jail for killing 'American Sniper' Chris Kyle" -- Geez -- sentenced to "life"... whatta misnomer..and miscarriage of justice.
---
Online story: "A senior State Department official in charge of federal counterterrorism programs was arrested Tuesday afternoon for allegedly soliciting sex from a minor, Fox News has learned. * Daniel Rosen was arrested by a county detective about noon at his Washington, D.C. home after he allegedly sought to arrange sex with a minor. * Rosen, who is the director of counterterrorism programs and policy at the State Department, was arrested and transported to the D.C. jail" -- Well... I guess HEBDObama can point to getting one lone-wolf terrorist off the streets...
---
HuffPOOPOO headline: "Most Republicans Don't Think Obama Loves America" -- Well, when HEBDObama insists he's a patriotic American.. isn't the first thing we have to do is assume its another lie? What's sad is that Democrats feel he does love America...
---
Online story: "Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) reportedly threatened to accuse President Barack Obama of anti-Semitism and sexism if she was ousted as DNC chair." -- Hmmm .. so much for equal pay/treatment... Know Nuthink Schultz was/is a rolling bus accident trying to happen. Of course, she's not very original.. seems Janet Reno got to keep her AG job in '96 after Waco when it seemed obvious Clinton should get a new one..but, then Monica happened...
---
While I don't think convictions should necessarily be an automatic exclusion, there's a little variable that give state officials more prejudice than private businesses: Item 5 of the "Ban the Box" law signed by Deal says,
"Shall not affect applications for sensitive governmental positions in which a criminal history would be an immediate disqualification and initial disclosure on such applications shall still be required."
Surely, private businesses need to know this upfront.. especially businesses dealing with opther people's money and children.
---
Online story: "Irving, TX immigration lawyer and Obama supporter, Sherin Thawer, was arrested on federal fraud charges and for forging applications of illegal immigrants. * Sherin Thawer was invited to the Obama White House last year to discuss immigration reform." -- Good grief.. looks like there's a new category we have to add to our country's immigration problem.. illegal lawyering. What's with HEBDObama.. just in the last two days we have cases of the VA head admitting to lying, the DNC head claiming discrimination, a State Department official caught soliciting minors, and now this.. what does today and tomorrow hold?
---
Hmmm.. Isaiah Crowell went back to school, and his 5th grade teacher revealed her discipline methods.. time proven, successful methods even when I was in school..according to the L-E, "She had a stick they had named Bruno, she said. * “And each time he got into a little bit of trouble, I’d give him a tap-tap on the hip and there wouldn’t be any more trouble,” she said." -- I'm now waiting for tomorrow's headline where this teacher has been fired for striking a student.....Anyway, I am glad to hear the words of Isaiah Crowell... let's pray he walks-the-walk now.
---
L-E headline: "Council approves Claflin School project * Council denies administration’s proposal to make MLK Blvd 3 lanes" -- Wow.. if Council follows through on the Claflin conditions, these are two sane decisions for a change.. MLK Blvd does not need to bottleneck car traffic for one of Mayor TomLYINGson's pet projects, and I'm glad Council has stepped up to the plate.
