Jeremiah Wright.... Where is Jeremiah Wright...remember him...the Obamas' country hating preacher in Chicago... How does such a man, a walking time bomb, just drop out of sight!

---
You know, Porkchop HILLsbury DOUGHgirls main campaign issue in the 2008 primary races was "Who do you want answering the White House phone at 3:00 AM?" .Hmmmm, now that we think about her handling top secret e-mails, you have to wonder if her White House phone would be an old timey "party line" with the Russians, Chinese, and ISIS listening in.

---
If it was the SEC investigating Hillsbury DOUGHgirl, do you think the SEC would accept her E-mail excuses?

---
Tell you what..if Trey Gordy wants to make a serious run at the Speaker post in Congress, he better pick another hairstyle than he currently uses. It looks more appropriate for a singer in a "boy band".

---
What is it that  excites political scientists about water on Mars? Life as we know it would not be able to exist there, but why question what God exclusively created on Earth for our life sources?

---
With Perry and Walker dropping out of the Republican competition, look with reservation about their backers switching over to Christie..sorta reminds me of the analogy of every one enjoying the Christmas party where everyone was feeling Merry...and when Merry got up and left, everyone jumped for Joy.

---
Ms Cecile Richards, answering questions at the Planned Parenthood investigation, said she wished she had the figures on how many mammograms they had performed. My question is "why didn't you have that figure at your fingertips?"

---
Those "reverse mortgage" celebrity spokespersons..how do you give credence to a formerly 29 year old purported  teenager who's best known remembrance scene was one that he pulls a comb out of his pocket, looks into a mirror but stops before he uses the comb because he saw "perfection", or a retired politician..knowing how truth evades their spiels.

---
Trump revealed a 4 level tax program with singles under $25 K and couples under $50 K paying zero % . I do think everyone should have skin in the game, but if he'll add that income tax credits generating unearned refunds be eliminated, I can go "all in" in support.

---
Rand Paul has a valid point about funding programs: Why shouldn't it take 60 votes to vote for funding a program rather than 60 votes not to fund a program?

---
Nancy Pelosi...why is this person even in Washington? She condemns videos as biased without even viewing them, and she wants to pass bills without reading them. Hmmm, a better question is why Californians would want her to represent them. (Oh, BTW, following an investigation into the Planned Parenthood videos, the original tapes were not compromised, and the edited tapes were shown only to have unviable times cut out, and were shown in context)

---
Online headline/story: "FLASHBACK: ABC's ’08 Prediction: NYC Under Water from Climate Change By June 2015 * New York City underwater? Gas over $9 a gallon? A carton of milk costs almost $13? Welcome to June 12,  2015. Or at least that was the wildly-inaccurate version of 2015 predicted by ABC News exactly seven years ago. Appearing on Good Morning America in 2008, Bob Woodruff hyped Earth 2100, a special that pushed apocalyptic predictions of the then-futuristic 2015 * The segment included supposedly prophetic videos, such as a teenager declaring, "It's June 8th, 2015. One carton of milk is $12.99." (On the actual June 8, 2015, a gallon of milk cost, on average, $3.39.) Another clip featured this prediction for the current year: "Gas reached over $9 a gallon." (In reality, gas costs an average of $2.75.)" -- Liberal fright hype...and it falls right in line with "Porkchop HILLsbury DOUGgirl being the smartest woman in the world....

---
You know what the Democratic Party needs to win the presidency following Obamageddon? How about a candidate that will campaign on correcting the damage caused by Obamageddon, Biden, Feinstein, Pelosi, and the Clintons.

---
You know, the government funding issue of Planned Parenthood is not about women's health. It's about misuse of tax dollars..tax dollars issued to the 501 c (3) free up outside donations to be "donated" to Planned Parenthood's 501c (4) division to use as political donations to liberal politicians who will vote to send them more tax dollars.
---
L-E headline: "Lawyers fight to keep only woman on Ga. death row alive" -- Thank goodness this is now "old news", but if lawyers want to keep death sentenced criminals alive, let them absorb all the costs of upkeep and liability.
---
L-E headline/story: "Oldest law firm in Columbus breaking up after 143 years *  (one partner) objected to calling the announcement a breakup." -- Good grief.. do lawyers and politicians have to parse or redefine every word?
---

L-E story about evaluation of the MCSD Superintendent: "(Member Frank) Myers also objected to the timing of the evaluation. He wants to wait until after October’s release of the district and school scores on the Georgia Milestone tests, the state’s standardized exams." -- Makes sense to me as well.. How do you give adequate praise.. even constructive criticism ahead of when pertinent information is coming available?

Online headline/story: "Obama, Putin meet face-to-face to discuss Syria * The one thing they could agree on" -- I know... I know.. The only thing liberals can agree on with non-liberals is.... to agree to disagree!
 
---
Marvin Kalb described the difference, aside from their personal politics, between Putin and Obamageddon is that Putin is representing the best national interests of his country. Nailed it!
 
---
Online headline: "Paul Walker's daughter sues Porsche * Walker's 16-year-old daughter, Meadow, has filed a lawsuit alleging that the Porsche which her dad died in was not fit to be on the road." -- "unfit to be on the road"? Good grief.. the only thing "unfit" is the lawyer who filed this case making such a claim!
 
---
Online story: "An investigation in Missouri found no evidence that Planned Parenthood's St. Louis clinic mishandled fetal tissue or engaged in unlawful activity, Democrat Attorney General Chris Koster's office said on Monday." -- Hmmmm.. a 30 day government investigation of a Democratic Party issue led by a Democratic Party Attorney General.. that sounds about as thorough and credible as the DOJ attempts to blame George Zimmerman and Officer Darren Wilson for being alive after being assaulted.
 
---
Smart L-E "soundoff": "They say Donald Trump gets mad when he doesn’t get his way. If he becomes president, he’s going to be mad an awful lot." -- This reminds me of a story attributed to  Harry Truman comment said to the Chief Justice at the swearing in of President Eisenhower in 1953. Truman leaned over and said, "Poor Ike... tomorrow he's going to issue an order... and it won't get carried out."
 
---
Jonathan Gruber triple-double extra stupid with cherry on top LIV's L-E "soundoff": "Wouldn’t the intention of the Second Amendment be much better fulfilled if we all carried nukes instead of puny little assault rifles?" -- Typical liberal response when he/she cannot come up with a valid point on an issue.. The 2nd Amendment was installed to provide all lawful citizens to arm themselves for protection from others, including the government..not to give everyone the power to assault the country.
 
---
Jonathan Gruber stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": "Justice served: CEO of south Georgia peanut plant sentenced to 28 years for food poisoning." -- No, justice was served, a man was given a sentence for the crimes he committed.. Justice will be served when the likes of Porkchop HILLsbury DOUGHgirl are arrested, convicted, and sentenced for crimes against our country.
 
---
From the letters to the editor of the L-E: "I am so glad the city has decided to use weekly collection, but there are questions needing to be answered. Such as: How come this was not done a long time back? Think of all the money they could have saved. I mean by way of instead of twice weekly. They now have the same load, but as weekly. Now they do the same work in one day instead of two. Great math, Einstein." -- Money saved? Less than $8.00 a year per household..Where can I send my check for me and my 23 other neighbors for $192.00 to get twice a week service? Also, if once-a-week pick-ups were saving money, why are employees not working only 3 days a week, and saving us some really big bucks?
 
---
Online headline: "OBAMA: WE MUST REJECT ‘IGNORANCE THAT EQUATES ISLAM WITH TERROR" -- Good grief.. we must reject ObamaLogic that equates 9-11-01 and mass, filmed and distributed, decapitations as a sign of civility.
 
---
Can you believe that "sports climbing" is going to be an Olympic Sport in the Japanese Summer Oylympic Games? I'm sure someone will get "the gold", but isn't there a risk that there will be no silver or bronze winners as they fall trying to win the gold?
 
---
Online story: "District Attorney on New York's Long Island bans prosecutors from owning guns" -- Good grief.. don't even get me started on the Constitutional aspects of this, but now a District Attorney doesn't want to allow his prosecutors to be able to protect themselves and their families from revenge based attacks of ex-criminals or their families?
 
---
Online story: "One group of climate scientists is trying a different approach. Dismayed by what they see as a lack of progress on the implementation of climate policies that they support, these 20 scientists sent a letter to the White House calling for their political opponents to be investigated by the government. * in particular, they are voicing their support of a proposal by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) for a RICO investigation of fossil fuel corporations and their supporters" -- As Perry White of the Daily Planet might blurt out, "Great Caesar's Ghost"!  Are we looking at the 21st Century version of the 1950s McCarthyism?  These nuts are truly dangerous, and I hope their names are added to the "no fly" and "no guns" lists.
 
---
As we look at the still potential of a "roundabout" being built on River Road at  the  Brookstone/Cascade/Green Island Drive intersection, I want to throw one more unbelievable  image into the mix.. a logging truck pulling a load of logs on a separate trailer attached to the first log trailer. Talk about a tip-over disaster as a tandem trailer negotiates an 180 degree maneuver around an unbanked curve that serves a residential neighborhood and a school zone crossing. Saw one yesterday running the yellow-turning-red-light yesterday.
 
---
L-E story: " The Knight Foundation is kicking off its second Knight Cities Challenge this week, offering $5 million in grants for ideas to help any of the 26 Knight cities around the U.S. * According to the challenge’s website, knightcities.org  , the ideas should be aimed at any or all of three criteria:
   Talent: Ideas that help cities attract and keep talented people.
   Opportunity: Ideas that expand economic prospects by breaking down divides and connecting people.
   Engagement: Ideas that spur connection and civic involvement." --  Wow! Go to the website... and you're met with this message: "There are presently no open calls for submissions."
 
---
L-E's " Thought for Today": “Nobody knows enough, but many know too much.” — Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, Austrian author (1830-1916). -- Hmmm.. confirmation.. maybe even THE inspiration for President Reagan's oh so astute observation that "know so many things that aren't so.”
 
---

The injury to the Southern University Jaguar player in the game with UGA just conforms my objection to major colleges paying obviously "out-manned" lower division schools a stipend to fill a wasted weekend for Roman Coliseum type entertainment. Smaller schools do have talented players, just not the depth so that adequate substitutions can be made during the game to keep starters from getting needed rest.. a tired player is much more likely to get injured. Keep praying for the young man,, and also for the NCAA to look into banning such planned mismatches.

You know.. mainscream media and the Democrats simply have no concern about the priority of our country.. as jockeying continues about the status of an upcoming government shutdown, mainscream nmedia and Democrats are trying to convince us that the first aspect of government to shut down would be not paying our military.. of course, there's no mention of entitlement programs being unfunded.
---
Online headline: "Clinton defends email practices as scandal deepens" -- Good grief.. If you back a coyote into a corner, and what's it going to do... throw up its paws and admit it after all the previous lies about there being nothing to it?
---
Poop Pat....is he gone yet? Now we sweep out his BS and get back to Real Life 101....that is if the Democrats haven't "found" him an American birth certificate...
---
Online headline: "Gates duo opens up on the need to end global poverty * The philanthropists appeared Saturday night at the Global Citizen Festival to speak about how their goals can be achieved." -- Hmm let's see.. if the UN nationalized Microsoft AND confiscated Bill Gates, there would be about $410 BILLION to divide amongst the world's population. Let's see,, the current World Population Clock shows that to be about 7,300,000,000. That would be about $56.00 a person. Yeah.. that'll do it. There is only 1 combination that ends poverty... a hard working person/family with goals, and a government that lives with its budget.
---
HufPOOPOO headline: "Another Deadly Snake Species Discovered In Australia" -- Oooops, my bad.. thought maybe there had been a sighting of the DNC on a campaign retreat.
---
HuffPOOPOO headline: "Obama Sends Merten Back to Haiti as New Election Crisis Looms" -- Hmmm... de we see a pattern evolving? Remember when Obamageddon sent in key members of his past campaign teams into Israel to try to get Netanyahu ousted?
---
HuffPOOPOO headline: "Chinese President Pledges Support For Women's Rights At UN, But Jails Feminists At Home" -- Hmmm... another deal negotiated by Kerry?
---
Online headline/story: "Virginia teacher put on leave for saying N-word during class * Pierce, a teacher for 40 years, landed in hot water Sept. 18 when a student in her Advance Placement U.S. History class brought up the Redskins and asked her what was the big deal. * "The kids kept saying, 'It's no big deal, it's a football team,'” Pierce told the Newport News Daily Press Thursday. “I said, 'How would you feel if people had a team named after another group?'" * WTKR-TV reported Thursday that Pierce then said to the class, “What would you think if someone started a team called the Newport News N----r?” -- Good grief.. one liberal just made the "trump" play to give credence to renaming the Redskins, and the rest of the liberals have hemorhaged. Guess you have to go day-by-day to figure out what liberals really want.
---
Online headline: "Jeb Bush dismisses drop in latest polls, says he needs to be better candidate - Trump promises..." -- Looks like Bush-zero has had a V-8 foreheadbump moment.. He needs to be a better Trump rather than trying to be a Republican Hillary.
---
Instant replay from yesterday's Breakfast Club as it's getting more attention today: Online headline: "Bill Clinton fires back at media over email scandal * In an interview with CNN, the former U.S. president said the controversy is merely 'catnip' that the Republican party is tossing to distract voters. " -- "catnip" that the Republican party is tossing"? Good grief.. the WHITE HOUSE has tossed the latest out it had been basically "sitting on",  waiting for the right time.. there's no love lost between the Obamageddons and the Clintons.. and don't forget, it wasn't Republicans that first brought up the Willie Horton "furlough rapist/killer" that brought down DuKakis in the 1988 election.. No, the "Willie Horton " issue was first brought up by Al Gore during the Democratic Party primary race.
---
All the PR in the world will not cover up this City's crime problems when visitors drive up and down Veterans Parkway and see business after business with barbed & razor wire topped fences surrounding them.
---
You know..it's Democrats who are feeling the global warming/climate change..Reckon it could just be an  advertisement message God is sending to Democrats?
---
Latest e-mail headline from the Porkchop HILLsbury DOUGHgirl's campaign: "We;re under the microscope!"  Hmmm... truth is she and Slick Willie have always been under the microscope (deserved so) only this time mainscream media is looking through it, and the White House is contributing evidence.
---
Online headline: "PELOSI DOUBTS PLANNED PARENTHOOD VIDEOS ‘ARE REAL’" -- Later she admitted she had not seen them.. but the real issue is that she believes her vision is "real".
---
Just took out my trash for the week (and we were gone for the weekend)... is it just me or are two 45 gallan cans stuffed with garbage bags are no longer enough?
---
L-E headline/story: "Golfers dismayed at state of Bull Creek clubhouse *  A couple of Concerned Golfers have written or called recently to say they just played at Bull Creek and were dismayed by what they found.
* The courses were fantastic — never better, they said — but the clubhouse is an embarrassment, especially by comparison. One reader said the course management has even put a toilet on a table in the clubhouse, with a sign soliciting donations to help renovate the men’s and women’s restrooms." -- You know.. this is the same problem that exists at the Aqua Center and the Civic Center..and the Ice Rink... User fees aren't enough to cover ongoing maintenance and depreciation.. All the facilities have good purpose but just bad vision.. user fees just covering the daily use are not enough.. no private business can operate with making a profit which it can pour back into itself to keep people coming back for more.
---
L-E headline/story: "Columbus delegation ventures to Nashville * Intercity visit aims for ideas to make Columbus better place to live, work, play *    There’s no doubt Music City has been sizzling with attention over the last decade — a top city for job growth, a creative and livable community, and home of a vibrant music scene punctuated by its country roots * But how hot is Nashville, the Tennessee capital that is firing on most economic development and redevelopment cylinders? Look no further than other communities traveling there to get an up-close look at what all the buzz is about. *  “Over the last couple of years, there have been over 30 cities that have come here,” said Ralph Schulz, president and chief executive officer of the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce." -- You know.. I applaud initiative to find solutions, but there is another more pressing question to be asked.. how many cities have come to Columbus to see what is going here that they can take back with them?
---
From above story: Seems like we've had trips to 19 different cities in the past 22 years.. but it looks like the only influence brought back was from Baltimore in 2006.
---
Jonathan Gruber stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " One day I’m going to open up a chain of restaurants, and I’m going to name them after Donald Trump’s mouth, because they’re gonna be open 24 hours a day." -- Well, if your food is a good as Trump's ideas, you'll be very successful... problem is, I don't believe you will n\know how to handle success...not and stay loyal to the Democratic Agenda.
---
Mayor's Office originated  stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " If you are still complaining about once-a-week trash pick-up, you are making too much trash. Get over it." --  Hmmm.. you know, I cannot think of a single other person in Columbus that puts more garbage out on the streets of Columbus than Mator TomLYINGson... with the help of the Columbus L-E.
---
I often wonder why the online, reader interactive version of the L-E all too often is not up-to-date on the day's "SoundOff" column on the same day it runs.. but.. after seeing another option in the L-E to see "Live updates: Auburn vs. Mississippi State (chat)" on Monday morning sorta answers the question.
---
L-E's " Thought for Today, “A great truth is a truth whose opposite is also a truth.” — Thomas Mann, German writer (1875-1955)." -- Hmmm.. this will be fun... "Vote Conservative..don't vote liberal... yep.. sounds like two great truths..
---
L-E's "Today in history" feature: "In 1995, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO chairman Yasser Arafat signed an accord at the White House ending Israel’s military occupation of West Bank cities and laying the foundation for a Palestinian state." -- Hmmm... did Kerry negotiate this for Clinton?
---

L-E's "Quotable" : “The winds and the waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.”-  Edward Gibbon British historian (1737-1794) -- Hmmm still true today... witness the successes of Trump versus the Democratic Party "War on Poverty".

Online headline: "Bill Clinton fires back at media over email scandal * In an interview with CNN, the former U.S. president said the controversy is merely 'catnip' that the Republican party is tossing to distract voters. " -- "catnip" that the Republican party is tossing"? Good grief.. the WHITE HOUSE has tossed the latest out it had been basically "sitting on",  waiting for the right time.. there's no love lost between the Obamageddons and the Clintons.. and don't forget, it wasn't Republicans that first brought up the Willie Horton "furlough rapist/killer" that brought down DuKakis in the 1988 election.. No, the "Willie Horton " issue was first brought up by Al Gore during the Democratic Party primary race.

----
Online story: ABC News apologized for promoting as an exclusive a videotape of O.J. Simpson that NBC had aired 15 years ago. * * In a statement issued Friday, ABC said it had the wrong impression that video footage from a 1990s civil suit deposition given by Simpson had not aired before at length. But NBC's "Dateline" had broadcast video from the deposition in 1999." -- Hmmm ... maybe ABC thought that since Brian Williams worked on "Dateline" then, no one would believe NBC'c complaint...

---
Online headlinee: "Michelle Obama unveils campaign focusing on girls' education" -- good grief.. after 6 years of pushing undesired school  lunch programs, and separate vacation, she finally sees education as "an issue" to be concerned about..and then discriminates against boys?

---
Online headline/story: "China vow billions of development dollars, debt forgiveness * Beijing will forgive debts due this year in an effort to help the world's poorest nations, as world leaders begin to seek the trillions of dollars needed to help achieve sweeping new development goals.* Xi said China will commit an initial $2 billion to establish an assistance fund to meet the post-2015 goals in areas such as education, health care and economic development. He said China would seek to increase the fund to $12 billion by 2030." -- $12 Billion.. when Trillions are needed? Like pissing into the ocean.. Of course, Xi will probably toss uncollectable US Treasury Bonds Obamageddon has sent them so the US will have to come up with the cash to honor them.

----
Online headline: "Castro slams US trade embargo during UN speech" -- Good grief.. just how bad a negotiator is Kerry? Iran yelled "Death to America" during its negotiations with him, and still got a deal even Trump couldn't have made.

---
Online headline/story: "Pope Francis, in New York, Lived Like a Diplomat * the pope bunked  into an 11,000 square foot townhouse built by a former NYC mayor, a Tammany Democrat name Hugh J. Grant who hired an architectural firm that had worked on St Patrick's Cathedral whch included Tiffany Studio decorations. " -- Pope/Poop Pat does it again...Hmmm sorta like being at home behind the walls of Vatican City. Wonder howmant Syrian refugees he let spend the night with him there?

---
Online headline: "The Latest: Zuckerberg pledges internet in refugee camps" -- Good grief.. liberals even want to supply communications so that jihadists can stay in touch with ISIS and al Qaida while traveling...

---
You know, we could reduce a lot of poverty in America by paying for tickets for everyone not working to other countries and call them refugees who fear their lives on the streets of our major cities.

---
Spent Friday night in Atlanta on a Hotwire.com Buckhead special..$130.00 for a nice room at the Grand Hyatt. Sounds like a deal...but by the time $40.00 in state, city, visiting taxes, and $34.00 for overnight parking we were up to week day rates. Maybe next time I'll call direct so I can negotiate that $47.00 buffet breakfast for two and save money.

---
You know.. why is it that cities think taxing visitors exorbitant hotel/motel taxes will be an attractive way for visitors to remember their trip? I can remember thing $40 for a good hotel room was outrageous.. hell, I can remember when hospital rooms weren't even close to $40.00 a night, and now that is what it takes to pay "vacation" taxes in an $130.00 Atlanta room. 
 
---
Good grief.. Fox interviewed the "former Spokesman for Speaker Boehner" yesterday.. it was bad enough that Boehner sent out damage control people, but why does "the Speaker" have a "Speaker"?

---
Thank heaven for ESPN's "Game Day".. I was totally " Poped" out on the Poop Pat coverage.
 
---
Jonathan Gruber stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " So the department heads’ political vendetta is now costing taxpayers millions of dollars in attorney fees? I hope the voters show these buffoons the door on Election Day." -- I'm believing Jonathan Gruber has been hired by the Mayor... There would have been no lawsuits filed had Mayor TomLYINGson  followed the law.
 
---
Jonathan Gruber triple-double extra stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " Saying we should increase penalties for gun-related crimes instead of making it harder for criminals to obtain guns is like saying we should legalize drunk driving and instead increase penalties for drunk-driving crashes."-- Huh? THis person must design math questions for the Common Crap curriculum.. just pray he/she is not assigned to teach Sex Ed.
 
---
L-E story: "Iran on Saturday vowed to take international legal action against Saudi Arabia’s rulers over the crush of Muslim pilgrims at this year’s hajj, which killed at least 769 people, including 136 Iranians, and has led to an escalation of tensions between the regional archrivals." -- Good grief.. Jews and Christians are routinely  executed by Iranians and threatened with purges, but Iran threatens court action against another Muslim country? How about a jihadist vs jihadist chain link match off.. ISIS vs al Qaida...
 
---
L-E commentary piece: "Wouldn’t it be grand if Pope Francis could be a recurring visitor to the U.S. Congress, a sort of spiritual superintendent who occasionally drops in to chide, cajole and mostly just remind our legislators when their actions don’t promote the common good? What kind of country would we become?" -- "what kind of country would we become?"  Hmmm.. how about "Democrat Party free.....
 
---
L-E guest Commentary: Jonathan Bernstein * Boehner’s success" -- Good grief.. liberals are out the minute they can find an opportunity to chastise Epublican initiative.. Now Boehner will "feel" he was effective because now a liberal will sympathize woth him... how John McCain-ish.
 
---
L-E guest commentary: "Some political slurs no longer even ‘coded’ * Leonard Pitts" -- THis is exactly Leaonard "the Pitts" problem,,, and why the L-E prints his drivel.. Pitts is so concerned about discerning "code" that he cannot listen to what is being said.. much less what is meant.
 
---

What is this idolization of the Pope? Long before there was a Pope.. Catholic Church for that matter, there is Jesus who told us to go straight to the Father in Heaven with our troubles, needs and praises. 

Saturday, September 26, 2015

Online headline: "Thousands gather in NYC for mass with Pope Francis" -- Wow.. Pope/Poop Pat is almost as popular as Trump..wonder if the Democrats are trying to "find" an American birth certificate for him?
---
Online headline: "Kentucky clerk announces major political switch" -- Hmmm Kim Davis has switched over to the Republican Party after decades of being a Democrat.. Nothing like liberal persecution to make one realize that Christianity has no place in the Democratic Party agenda/mantra.
---
Online story: "The Obama administration has discovered a chain of emails that Hillary Rodham Clinton failed to turn over when she provided what she said was the full record of work-related correspondence as secretary of state, officials said Friday, adding to the growing questions related to the Democratic presidential front-runner's unusual usage of a private email account and server while in government." -- "discovered"? Yeah.. right.. I guarantee Obamageddon and Bleep Veep Biden have had these in their sweaty hands just waiting for a chance to throw more logs on the fire.. guess it also means Biden will be running..
---
Online headline: "Exclusive: Joe Biden backers hiring staff in more states in hopes of 2016 run" -- Bingo!
---
Online headline: "NASA: Making oxygen, sending people to Mars" -- Hmmm..before I sign up, I want to know the return flight info.
---
A friend of mine reminded me of the way financial irregularities at CRHS and St Francis Hospital occurred.. The financial team prepared the figures with a minimum outside audit to present for Board approvals. Well, it's the boards that need to understand the financial data... and a forensic audit is the best way to keep the board informed... That's why the MCSD and Mayor TomLYINGson are so opposed to them.. not the actual costs of them.
---
How come tuition keeps rising and colleges haven't learned that paying a Clinton to speak on campus adds nothing to the cause of education , but adds about $250,000 or more to the COSTS of education?
---
John Boehner has retired... retied with his campaign chest nearly $4,000,000.00 fuller than it was following his last election.. Now,, did he get the massive donations from interests that wanted him to run again, or were the donations from folks influencing him to resign? Either way, why are politicians allowed to keep what's left in their campaign accounts? A real campaign reform act would make any funds in a campaign account be turned over to a politician's state government within 2 months of the last election, and a rule that no politician can receive a donation unless it's within 12 months of his/her next election.
---
Online headline: "Obama slaps new threat of sanctions on China" -- Yeah.. tough guy act... of course, what Obamageddon really wants is for China to demand payment for all the US debt it holds which would finish off Obamageddon's plan to transform America...
---
If China calls Obamageddon's "bluff" by going "all in", Obamageddon would be "light".
---
Wonder if Obamageddon has drawn the line in the sand in front of China with red ink?
---
Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert is on Fox as I write claiming Republicans are the only ones willing to compromise... DOH! Doesn't he know that is WHY the Democrats won't compromise? That is why Republicans are not helping the country to become confident again? Well, it's obvious why the RNC doesn't understand the American voters' response to Donald Trump.. Trump knows, that "making a deal" is not good if you give up the goal.
---
From the "obviously we have a bias but are proud of it" department - HuffPOOPOO headline: "Sorry, New Moms and Dads: Rubio's Paid Leave Plan Wouldn't Do Much" -- Good grief.. how come the HuffPOOPOO will tell the truth about a Republican "plan", but cover it up if Porkchop HILLsbury DOUGHgirl proposed it?
---
L-E headline/story: " Educator: Businesses must help schools *  The overall message from Steve Dollinger, president of the Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education, was that businesses must help bridge the achievement gap by closing the opportunity gap — because, he asserted throughout his presentation, schools can’t fix the problem by themselves." -- Good grief! Dollinger has it bassackwards"  Don't we pay for our children's education with the expectation they will graduate, and businesses will want to hire our children to help them?
---
L-E headline: "Pope in New York slams ‘selfish’ thirst for power and wealth" -- Good grief.. doesn't Pope?Poop Pat sit in control of revenues and assets that Apple's holdings look paltry?
---
Ultimate Jonathan Gruber most triple-double stupiest LIV's L-E "soundoff" ever: " I think our country is obligated to take all of the Syrian refugees because we caused this. George Bush and Dick Cheney were at the helm." -- Thank heaven Bush and Cheney were "at the helm" when Islamist jihadist sucker-punched our country on 9-11-0! Can you imagine how Clinton, Algore, Kerry, or Obamageddon would have responded? I shudder at that thought.
---
L-E headline: "Dalai Lama cancels U.S. events after health checkup" -- Oooops, my bad.. thought the Dalai Lama read the latest financial state of the US and didn't want to get strand inAmerica if government shut down..

L-E guest commentary: "Currently, America is in a fight for the hearts and minds of a number of young, impressionable people with the tech-savvy, media-slick ISIS operation. And Dr. Ben Carson's comments about Muslims just gave ISIS a huge boost in recruiting, just so Carson could net some campaign bucks and a few primary votes." --  You know, if the L-E is going to run analytic commentary as a service to it's readers, it should demand the writer has better credentials than as an associate professor of political science at LaGrange College. No one cares what a guppy in a fish tank thinks.

This looks scary.. remember the brand new artificial turf put into Kinnett Stadium at a cost of $675,000.00. Last week, officials about had a heart attack when a majorette from an out of town school pulled out fire batons to twirl and toss.. and we found out the subsurface of the field is highly combustible. This picture looks like the subsurface is coming up through the "grass".

Online story: " New York City public schools are closed to observe the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha (eed ahl-AHD'-hah). * Thursday was the first time the schools serving 1.1 million pupils closed for a Muslim holiday. Mayor Bill de Blasio announced this year that the city's public schools would observe the two Muslim holy days of Eid al-Fitr (eed ahl-FIH'-tur) and Eid al-Adha." -- Good grief! It's been but two weeks since we mourned the anniversary date of the Muslim jihadist attack on the security of our country, and Mayor de Bl(_*_)io just countered with an Islamic school holiday. In addition, not only was the Jewish Yom Kippur just observed two days ago, there is no school holiday for 9-11 observance.

Since our Natatorium in under the spotlight of truth revealing it's poorly planned conception and operations needs, I have a reliable source who says it's common knowledge in the City (Council/Mayor?) that swim meet organizers are refusing to use it because of a lack of professionalism and understanding on what it takes to attract competitive swim meets. This makes real sense as what 3rd party operator would care to budget those needs in lieu of keeping as much of the available contract funds for itself?

---
This Pope has the wrong name..sure, spelling has a determination as to gender (Francis vs Frances), but this Pope is more like a SNL skit character.."Pat".  After this Pope speaks, no one knows for sure what he meant.

---
Pope/Poop Pat say there is no excuse in inadequate housing for all. Yeah. like living in the massive walls of Vatican City gives him a clue about what exists on the other side of those walls.

---
Pope/Poop Pat says there are many people leaving their countries looking for a better life here in the US...HUH? Has Pope Pat seen our economic data, unemployment numbers, and the number if jobs being outsourced overseas?

---
Do you suppose Gov. Cuomo was on hand at the NYC airport to check Pope/Poop Pat's passport?

---
Just figured it out... why NY Gov Cuomo now requires passports instead of driver's licenses to board planes in NY.. I guess he figures Islamic jihadists can get a passport easier than they can get a driver's license!

---
Have you seen the saturation of Tide "Pod" ads encouraging "us" to keep them out of toddlers' reaches? Something tells me Tide has a bunch of unresolved "pod eating situations". Oh, BTW, we stopped buying the " pods" and have gone back to liquids. One immediate benefit is that 'that smell' emanating from the washer has disappeared.

---
A recent study says that attendance is down in Christian churches.. You know, that's not surprising..after all, wishy washy politicians have discouraged voters from going to the polls...so wishy washy pastorates have discouraged people from seeking direction from Churches.

---
Online story: "Arabian authorities said Thursday that at least 717 people were killed and hundreds of others were injured in a stampede near the Muslim holy city of Mecca, where an estimated 2 million people are undertaking the traditional hajj pilgrimage. * The tragedy struck as Muslims around the world marked the start of the Eid al-Adha holiday." -- Yep.. there is a difference in religions.. Christians and Jews attend services in an orderly manner as we honor God.. obviously Islamist feel forced to attend or face the wrath of Sharia laws.

---
Online headline: "ISIS suffers major setback as bomb destroys target" -- Hmmm... you know.. Obamageddon will fail when he could have save the world and regain respect in his legacy.. Since today is Eid al-Adha , and every ISIS Islamist jihadist is going to be in a mosque somewhere.. Obamageddon could make an announcement that drones were en route to everyone mosque in Syria and the caliphate. Obamageddon could actually be lying and effectively wipe out ISIS as they stampeded out of the MOsques and stomp each other to death.

---
Online story: "ATLANTA | Members of the commission rewriting school funding sought damage control Wednesday in terms of teacher concerns about a complicated pay proposal * It began with commissioners taking turns trying to explain how the proposal would work." -- and what's that word that means trying the exact same thing over and over expecting different results... or yeah.. INSANITY! All this does is confirm "Common Crap" controls the education system.

---
Sam Nunn has commented on Vladimir Putin and the danger of silence...... hmmm... well, where was Sam Nunn when Romney was telling us that Russia was our number 1 future problem.. again.. My guess is Nunn was in the back of the Obamageddon campaign bunker taking pot shots at Romney along with the DNC and mainscream media.

---
You know..liberals seem to be "OK" with tolerating Sharia law, so why are they so opposed to being accepting of our death penalty?

Online story: "Between 2009 and 2013, President Barack Obama achieved the improbable: he successfully eliminated the $1.4 trillion deficit legacy of the Bush administration, lowering it to $679 billion. That’s right: he cleaned up the mess cowboy George left behind, and things are looking up for America. * Obama has seen, and will continue to see strong opposition to his policies from Republicans despite this astonishing accomplishment. *  Obama’s fiscal responsibility will place a large burden on the Republican party if one of its candidates should win the presidency in 2016. There are fears that a Republican president could reverse the trend set by the Obama administration, and all the hard work done over the past eight years would be malevolently undone for no better reason than to smite Obama’s legacy." -- ... HUH?  Is this what Obamageddon wants to spread through the "Common Crap Curriculum" as he prepares to leave office? Good grief.. in just the past 6 years, Obamageddon has increased the National Debt by $8 TRILLION dollars! That is 44% higher than when he took office.. hmm.. maybe it's no coincidence Obamageddon is the 44th president..

Ran across this looking for something else.. and was this cryptic and prophetic or not? 2009 online headline/story: "At times it is easy to forget how completely obsessed the global elite are with eugenics and population reduction. But an incredibly shocking and offensive quote from Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is bringing the issue of eugenics to the forefront once again. * In an interview with the New York Times, Ginsburg admitted that abortion is about getting rid of certain types of people that the elite do not want to have around: * "Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of." --  "populations that we don’t want to have too many of."? ARRGGGHHHH! You know.. Ginsburg
 was appointed by Bill Clinton, and I'm sure he was influenced heavily by Porkchop HILLsbury DOUGHgirl. Why doesn't mainscream media ask Hillary why she supported Ginsburg.. (well other than the obvious that Bill wouldn't be trying to get into her robe)?

---
WTVM9 News story: "A quiet family living in the Green Island Hills area of Columbus is still recovering Thursday after an alleged home invasion on Tuesday night. * D**** L**, 29, rushed into his house on Mountainview Drive, leaving the door unlocked. While he was using the bathroom, at least three suspects armed with a handgun entered the home and tied him up. The home was ransacked and robbed. *Police say Lee was home alone at the time and was still tied up when they arrived." --  Hmmm.. meanwhile, a few blocks away, 3 or 4 policemen were stationed on Mobley Road operating a speed trap. Oh.. and have you seen this crime reported in the L-E? Well, both crimes.. the home invasion and the speed trap.

---
L-E sports headline/story: "Carver ends Columbus' unbeaten streak * The Thursday night contest between Columbus and Carver (at sodded Memorial Stadium) was as sloppy as sloppy comes. * The clouds never opened up for a downpour worthy of suspending the game, but a steady rain fell from the opening kick until the final horn." -- I'm curious...with wet weather eminent, why wasn't the game moved to Kinnett Stadium with it's all weather synthetic turf? At this point, Memorial Stadium's grass turf will not have "growing" conditions to recover for the rest of the season.

---
HuffPOOPOO "headlie": "Rosie O'Donnell just saved her ex-wife's life * Rosie's ex, Michelle Rounds, reportedly planned to take her own life earlier this week -- and Rosie kept her on the phone till help arrived." -- Hey,, give credit where credit's due,, to begin with, Rosie's "ex" could have just not called if she was serious, but in the end it was EMT's that "saved" her.. On the other hand.. Rosie ain't having a good time of her own lately, this with the "ex" t=right nowm and a couple of weeks ago, her adopted daughter fled Rosie's house.

---
Donald Trump has trumped Porkchop HILLsbury DOUGHgirl...is daughter, Ivanka Trump Kushner just announced she's pregnant with she and her husband's 3rd child. Even mainscream media will enjoy reporting about Trump's next grandchild rather than the spawn of HILLzilla.

Online story: "Most 105-year-olds are dead ... but there's one from Japan who's still SPRINTING LIKE A CHAMP ... and set a WORLD RECORD on the track this week.  * His name is Hidekichi Miyazaki -- and one day after his 105th birthday, he recorded the fastest ever 100 meter dash time for a person in the 105+ category ... with a time of 42 seconds. " -- Hmmm too bad he propbably needed to get to the bathroom in 40 seconds..

---
HuffPOOPOO "headlie": "Senate blocks bill defunding Planned Parenthood" -- LIE! The Democrats in the Senate blocked the defunding bill.

Online story: "CVS/pharmacy on Wednesday expanded a program that allows people to buy the opioid overdose reversal drug naloxone—or Narcan as it's more commonly known—without a prescription at its pharmacies in a total of 14 states to help curb the heroin and prescription drug epidemic that claims tens-of-thousands of lives each year to accidental overdoses. * CVS has been selling Narcan without a prescription in only Rhode Island and Massachusetts, but is now expanding into 12 additional states that have passed legislation allowing pharmacies to sell the life-saving drug, which comes in the form of a nasal spray to be administered on a person in the midst of an overdose." -- "accidental overdoses"? "a nasal spray to be administered on a person in the midst of an overdose"? Good grief.. sticking a needle full of too much heroin is no accidental event, and having a spray bottle close to you would probably make it seem "safer" to try the largest dose you could handle... it's sorta like going out bar-hopping with a designated driver.. you can get more wasted that you would if you had to drive yourself, so the alcohol actually is ingested in more dangerous amounts.

---
Online story: "A Texas assistant football coach at John Jay HS accused of instructing two players to hit a referee during a game has resigned, school officials said Thursday. * Members of Texas' governing board of high school sports told John Jay head coach Gary Gutierrez on Thursday they might also consider probation against him, but the board adjourned a fact-finding hearing without taking action. " -- Well, I hope a couple of deputies were on hand to cuff the assistant coach, serve subpoenas on the head coach and board members. The board is cowardly if it doesn't "kill" the John Jay football program for the next four years so that no one on the team can play HS football again. Hey, and the two players are not excused or exonerated!

---
Online story: "American fashion designer Kenneth Cole recently posted a billboard prominently displayed over Manhattan’s West Side Highway that reads, “Over 40M Americans suffer from mental illness. Some can access care … All can access guns.” The hashtags #GunReform and #AreYouPuttingUsOn were also included on the billboard. * Once again, an uneducated celebrity type has used his influence to further stigmatize those with mental illness." -- Yeah.. I'd say Kenneth Cole missed the boat..  the actual number is closer to the 66 MIllion mark.. because that's how many voted to reelect Obamageddon,

---
HuffPOOPOO headline: "ederal Immigration Agents Will Be Allowed Back Into Los Angeles County Jails" -- Good grief.. HuffPOOPOO could at least sound happy about this...

---
Online story: "Former NFL player, Warrick Dunn has gone from scoring on the field to scoring off the field via his humanitarian efforts.  His non-profit organization, Warrick Dunn Charities, has allowed him to provide his 139th home to a single mother.  Now we all know mainstream media is not willing to tell this type of story if it does not fit their agenda and ratings scale.  I’m also very sure Warrick isn’t seeking notoriety so it really doesn’t matter.  He just wants to make a difference in the lives of people who need help." -- You know, why can't organizations like the NAACP and "Black Lives Matter" pick a person like Warrick Dunn to be it's leader? The Jackson/Sharlatan role model has damaged the black community.. and Dr King's Dream,  way too much.

---
Online story: "Documents released by a conservative watchdog group Thursday show Hillary Clinton personally signed official forms in 2012 that allowed her top aide to attain status as a special government employee (SGE), despite the Democratic presidential frontrunner's denial of any involvement in the situation during a recent interview.

The arrangement enabled Huma Abedin to work both for Clinton at the State Department and the corporate consulting firm Teneo, as well as carry out duties on behalf of the Clinton Foundation. Abedin's status has led some lawmakers to raise questions about the possibility of conflicts of interest during Clinton's time as secretary of state." -- First "TENEO IS FOCUSED ON WORKING EXCLUSIVELY WITH THE CEOS AND LEADERS OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST AND MOST COMPLEX COMPANIES AND ORGANIZATIONS."  That basicaklly means Abedin was the liaison between the Secretary of Stae and the Corporate world.. which basically connected corporate gifts to the Clinton Foundation with access of the Clintons.

L-E headline: "POPE ASKS CONGRESS FOR ‘SPIRIT OF COOPERATION’" -- Good grief.. this makes headlines when we voters/taxpayers/employers can't get Democrats on board to fix the problems..
 
---
Jonathan Gruber stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": "   Great article Sunday, Dusty. Whatever happened to compassion and common sense?" -- Everyone already knows I object for "soundoff's" emanating from the Mayor's or School Board's offices being published, but you would think that Dusty would not pat himself on the back in a column he edits..
 
---
L-E's "Thought for Today, “It is as fatal as it is cowardly to blink (at) facts because they are not to our taste.” — John Tyndall, English physicist (1820-1893)." -- Hmmm. another one of those tidbits of truth not on the walls of the Columbus L-E, any mainscream media executive's, or the White House walls.
 
---
L-E "headlie": "Unemployment rate falls to 7 percent in August * Down from 7.4 % in July and from 8.5% a year ago" -- News should be analyzed before publishing it.. just the number of teens going back to school makes the number of job seekers/workers become this much lower.
 

---
L-E headline: "WILL VW SCANDAL TARNISH ‘MADE IN GERMANY’ IMAGE?" -- Way too late.. Mercedes Benz did that when it was under the Chrysler partnership.. I know.. bought one in 2004 for my wife, and we'll never buy another one.

Online headline/story: "Pope elevates controversial figure to sainthood * The pope's apology did little to quiet those who oppose the canonization. Serra's critics say he was carrying out a Vatican policy by treating indigenous people as inferior." -- Poop Francis strikes again.. Who's next..King George of England.. he had a track record of treating indigenous  people in all of the colonies (America, India et al) so well, too... or Muhammad...or go for the gold,  how about Hitler.. he had a policy as well if you weren't Aryan?

---
Online headline: "Obama declares disaster in Calif." -- Oooops, my bad, I thought Obamageddon was finally admitting his immigration policy stinks.

---
Online story: "Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton unveiled a plan on Wednesday to lower out-of-pocket health costs, including expanded coverage of sick visits to the doctor and tax credits for those with substantial medical bills." -- "to lower out-of-pocket health costs"?  "tax CREDITS"? Why not announce she wants "free healthcare" for everyone who will vote for her, Under her "plan", hospitals and doctors would have to be "free clinics" to everyone except working those in the medical field and successful business people and investors.

----
Of all the pictures Porkchop HILLsbury DOUGHgirl has posed for, none are as cryptic... prophetic.. as this one.. in her shadow is Sesame Streets' Robo-Crook... smiling..

To "Black Lives Matter": If you can organize this many people to protest, why can't you organize them to clean up the community and criminal elements causing the problem?
 
---
Truly "get's it" L-E "soundoff": " People who want to destroy flags, monuments and carvings because of the culture they represent are no different from Middle Eastern people who are destroying priceless, irreplaceable historical artifacts because of the religion they represent." -- And have you noted the similarities of the "Black Lives Matter" flag and the flag of ISIS?

---
Online headline: "New law says flyers must bring passport, not driver's license, to airport" -- Of particular interest is New York and Minnesota.. where NO document, NO ID is required to vote. You know, if a passenger on a domestic-to-domestic flight is required to have a government issued passport for ID, why is requiring a voter photo-ID a hardship? Oh, you know, I remember being required to have a driver's license when I applied for a passport.

Online story: "Remington, one of the world’s largest gun manufacturers, will on Monday join Gov. Robert Bentley (R) to announce they are bringing over 2,000 jobs to Alabama. * Most of the jobs will be relocated from their Ilion, NY plant * Remington first began considering new locations after the New York legislature passed the Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement (SAFE) Act * A month ago Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) said “extreme conservatives” who are “right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay,” have “no place in the state of New York.”" -- Where is the DOJ? Where is the US Supreme Court? How can a state's Chief Executive declare itself exempt from the Constitution and laws of this country?
 
---
Hmmm... I wonder if New York is going to require visitors on incoming domestic flights to show a passport  and go through customs for luggage check for guns that are leagal in the other 49 states and possession authorized by our Constitution?

---
Online headline: "Michelle Obama stuns in blue for the pope's visit * The first lady wore a dress by Venezuelan-American designer Carolina Herrera to meet His Holiness, who hails from Argentina." -- "Venezuelan-American designer"? Good grief.. Does that mean we can expect a mass switch for African-Americans to become Kenyan-Americans, Egyptian-Americans, Ethiopian-Americans.. Oh, and how about countries that have changed  theie names and their country of origin isn't even a country anymore. Either you are an American or not!

---
Online story: "An Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) official flew nearly every weekend from his office in San Francisco to his home in southern California, amassing $69,000 in “excessive trips,” according to the Office of Inspector General (OIG)." -- $69K... forget the $69K.. just how many "carbon credits" did he buy from Algore with tax dollars?

Johnson & Johnson is not having a good week..It was exposed as an advertiser for "The View", and now as a supporter for Al Sharlatan.. Hmmm.. Johnson & Johnson don't make enough Band-Aids to patch up these scars.

L-E headline/story: "Bids to take over aquatic center coming in higher than amount budgeted * The first bids from vendors interested in taking over the Columbus Aquatic Center have come in higher than the $655,800 that the city was paying the previous vendor, Parks and Recreation Director James Worsley said this week." -- Good grief.. there's just so much wrong here.. First. why wasn't an operating budget assembled before the first dirt was excavated it see if it was an affordable expense worth paying for? Secondly, why can't a budget be materialized with existing City employees that is lower than outside contractors' bids?  Surely, outside contractors are incorporating a nice margin to pay themselves handsomely and provide healthcare as well?

L-E story: "Starting this morning, we’ve enhanced the Ledger-Enquirer e-Edition, the electronic replica of the print newspaper. *   If you’ve got it bookmarked, you’ll need to bookmark the URL again this morning. But don’t worry — if you’re a digital subscriber, your log-in credentials should remain the same." -- Good grief.. since it is a website based application, how come existing subscribers were not informed "electronically" (e-mail) ahead of time, rather than reading about it on the front page of the print edition?
 
---
Jonathan Gruber stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": "Colorado now generates more annual tax revenue from marijuana sales than from alcohol sales. Politicians, why not Georgia?" -- Good grief.. a simpleton at best.. "why not Georgia"? How about the liquor and beer distributors would keep it at bay...

Online story: "Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who was elected to a second term in February, proposed a $543 million increase in property taxes. * However, the city's requests have become entangled in the Illinois budget standoff between the Republican governor *  Governor Bruce Rauner wants to temporarily freeze local property taxes, while giving local governments ways to save money, including curbing collective bargaining with their workers -- a move strongly opposed by Democrat" --  In a nutshell.. Democrats want to tax you out of your property, and Republicans want you to be able to afford your home. While this is about Chicago's Mayor Emanuel, it's also about Columbus' Mayor TomLYINGson.

---
Online headline: "Los Angeles calls homelessness an emergency, unveils $100 million plan" -- Hmmm.. basically an "instant repeat" of Chicago.. Democratic Party Mayor wanting to raise taxes on homes to home the homeless.. The only guaranteed result will be that the taxes will make some more homeowners become homeless.

---
Online headline: "Trump launches scathing attack on Fox News" -- Hmmm.. and the White House is livid as it's favorite "tune" has been usurped by it's biggest nightmare.

Online story: "The Barbie doll is often scrutinized for being unrealistic and difficult to relate to for young girls, but the new Lammily doll, also known as a "normal barbie" has completely changed how young girls see these dolls and themselves. * These dolls with pimples and cellulite have been around for about a year now, and they look more realistic and relatable than any Barbies on the market. * The doll has taken a new step towards being more human, though. Now she gets her period. * The "Period Party" kit comes equipped with a pamphlet that explains periods, underwear, and 18 pads for the doll. There's even a calendar so that the doll's owner can track the doll's period." --  Good grief.. what's next.. G.I. Joe with PTSD and an AK-47 with 18 clips?

---
L-E headline: "Council votes 10-0 to pay almost $400,000 to Darr's, Pierce's attorney" --  Now we know why Mayor TomLYINGson has been so adamant at curtailing twice a week garbage pick up.. she's needed the money to pay for her garbage.

---
From above L-E story: "The city will take the money from its Judgments Assigned Fund Balance, an account set aside to pay legal judgments against the city." -- You know.. only a lawyer like Mayor TomLYINGson would think of a way to set aside tax dollars into a fund she could direct toward her legal friends...

---
Online story: "Back in April, Dan Price, CEO of Gravity Payments, announced a plan to cut his own salary in order to raise minimum pay at the company to $70,000/year. * And there was much rejoicing. At last, a CEO gets it! Finally, someone at the top is putting their money where their mouth is and striking against inequality! * two higher-ranking employees at Gravity Payments, who said the blanket raise minimized their contributions to the organization, quit... spurred in part by their view that it was unfair to double the pay of some new hires while the longest-serving staff members got small or no raises. * According to some economic theories, it's human nature to think like this. * Equity theory, which was developed by psychologist J. Stacy Adams in 1963, claims that if one group of people within an organization discover that a second group of people within the same organization are being compensated similarly for work they perceive to be less valuable, the first group of people get — to use a bit of social science terminology — "pretty pissed."" --  Hmmm.. sorta like the way that entitlement programs have undermined the "work ethic" A job use to be a measure of worth at any level... now, "work", if it pays less than welfare entitlements, is beneath the recipients...

Ever thought about why the mainscream media and the Democrats are so interested in undermining Trump? It's as simple as Trump speaking out on subjects that the majority supports.. .. Anything else and the mainscream media and Democrats would simply allow Trump to self-destruct.

Online headline: "Huma Abedin Debuts on Twitter, Rips Ben Carson" -- Huma Abedin.. is Porkchop HILLsburt DOUGHgirl's number one aide, and a Muslim who's married to Carlos Danger "the naked"  Wiener . Why is this news?.. No Dem is going to vote Republican, so why do they exchange/publish hateful Tweets?
---
Scott Walker is not bowing out gracefully..seems he wants the other establishment Republican candidates to "collude" in derailing Trump. Trouble is that even if all the "establishment Republicans pooled their votes, they are still on the short end of the votes that Trump, Carson, and Fiorina are pulling in.
 
---
The libs are going for VW's jugular..even analogizing it compared to a Ford Pinto.  Now, since VE says it manipulated the software to give it less power but less pollutants , then why doesn't VW simply give current owners the option (or software codes) to either have a more pollution compliant vehicle or one that has more power performance . My guess is that owners bought it for the power performance.

Online story: "Ohio Democrats, still pushing their phony “voter suppression” meme, kicked off a campaign tonight to put a constitutional amendment on the November ballot. They even brought in Al Sharpton for support. * Melowese Richardson, convicted of voter fraud and then released early from prison, called to stage for a "welcome home." * Remember Melowese Richardson?  * She was a poll worker who used her position to vote for Obama multiple times. She is one of the few who ever gets caught for voter fraud and was sentenced to five years in prison. That was only eight months ago. For some reason, she has already been released. * Democrats seem to oppose any changes in the law that make it harder to cheat." --  And the DOJ "feels" photo voter ID's are too much to impose on the privilege to be a voter.

Online story: "Hillary Clinton on Tuesday broke her years-long silence over her stance on the Keystone XL pipeline, announcing in Iowa that she opposes the controversial project." -- Guess her being married to a professional pipe-layer has conditioned her hatred.

---
Almost "get's it" L-E "soundoff": "Only one question in the Mayor’s Tax Freeze Plan: Do you want homeowners to pay more property tax?" Close, but the other half of the equation is do you want Council and Mayor TomLYINGson to have more tax dollars to waste on whimsical projects?  Additional revenues are not going to be used to shore up existing problems.. there's no fun for a politician in spending money more wisely..
 
---
Jonathan Gruber stupid Mayoral staff member's L-E "soundoff": " Let’s spell it out for you: If everybody paid his fair share of property taxes, the rest of us wouldn’t have to support people who live in $300,000 houses and pay only $300 in taxes." -- Typically, as in every other liberal's claims, no specifics, no provable examples are named... What's really unfair is that I have to pay $5,300 a year for my property taxes, and none of Mayor TomLYINGson's plans include any relief for me.

Jonathan Gruber publicly-miseducated LIV's L-E "soundoff": "Amnesia perhaps? Jeb said his brother kept America safe. 9/11 attacks were 8 months into W’s presidency." -- Bill Clinton refusing to have Osama bin Laden "eliminated" during the 90's had absolutely no bearing?

Tuesday, September 22, 2015

Online headline: "GOP candidate Scott Walker drops out of 2016 race" -- First, Rick Perry.. now Scott Walker... both proven and effective governors who didn't "get it". Like all the Republicans running who already hold a public office, they were "conditioned" by mainscream media to operate within the "politically correct" agenda dictated by mainscream media's allegiance to liberalism.  This is why Trump gets traction with the Republican voters.. he's speaking out for the things that will get America back on top!

---
Online headline: "Major US city may get slammed with massive tax hike * Chicago's mayor is expected to propose a $534 million property tax increase on Tuesday in an effort to reverse years of financial troubles." -- "years of financial troubles"? How about "years of financial mismanagement" and taxpayer abuses! Wonder if our Mayor TomLYINGson is drooling to go to Chicago and copy Emanual's "political playbook".

Online headline/story: "Russia begins drone surveillance missions in Syria * U.S. officials said on Monday Moscow has started flying unmanned aircraft over Syria, as concerns over airspace disputes between the rivals grow. * Relationship has US worried * "We've made clear both in public and in private that doubling down on supporting Assad is a losing bet," said White House spokesman Josh Earnest." -- "made it clear... that doubling down... is a losing bet"? What? Is Obamageddon still pointing at the "red line" he drew, and claiming he's already addressed ASSwad?

HuffPOOPOO headline/story: "Newark Schools Still Struggling Despite Facebook Donation * When Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg appeared on Oprah Winfrey's show five years ago this week to announce a $100 million donation to remake education in Newark, which was matched with another $100 million from other donors *  a spokesman for the school system added that $200 million is a tiny portion — about 4 percent — of what it has cost to run the school district for the past five years. * indicators such as student test scores have been mixed." --  Hmmm.. the Newark School District, with 66 schools, 5,595 employees and a student population of 35,054, is the largest and one of the oldest school systems in New Jersey, and this pretty much proves you cannot improve a bad system by throwing more good money at it.  It also is pretty close to our MCSD figures... except, Newark spends 4 times as much per annum.. which goes to show, that if the MCSD had that hind of budget, we could expect no better results using the same curriculum and agenda we now use. Thank goodness for Myers and Thomas getting on the MCSB to shake things out!

HuffPOOPOO headline: "How Much Is Pope Francis's Visit Costing The U.S.?" -- Hmmm... my guess is less than it costs for Michelle Obama to visit Italy...

Porkchop HILLsbury DOUGHboy describes herself in 3 words, "A Real Person". What we don't know us whether she defines " A Real Person" the same way as real people define it.

So Obamageddon wants to bring 175,000 Syrian refugees into the US by 2017. That's more than the known strength of ISIS as it stands now. Trump in 2016!

Just look at the latest GOP polls.. Trump, Fiorina, and Carson have 51-53% of the votes..look what this is showing...it shows that those polled want some one outside the RNC concept..It also shows that the RNC should speak to the candidates that are already elected about standing up for America...first!

A "truly get's it" L-E "soundoff (who's obviously not on Queen TT TomLYINGson's staff): "How much money would the city have lost during the real estate collapse had the property tax freeze not been in place?" -- One of my neighboring homes was bought before I moved here, but the other next doot home has been sold twice in the past 3-4 years. It's of similar size and configuration, yet it sold (both times) for considerably less than my house was bought for in 2003 (plus a hefty amount spent upgrading the insides). I surely haven't seen Queen TT asking me for less tax money...

L-E headline/story: "Sanders gets grumpy, but voters like him that way * Bernie Sanders doesn’t kiss babies" -- Hmmm.. yeah.. Democrats are like that,, they aren't going to stick their hand anywhere it might come back "dirty" rather than filled with cash.

L-E headline: "(Disgraced NBC Anchor Brian) Williams returns to MSNBC today" -- Good grief.. this just highlights how bad NBC/MSNBC viewer penetration is.. NBC/MSNBC has had to resort to newspapers to get the info out.

L-E story: "Although it was listed as an action item on the agenda, the board discussed but didn't vote on a proposal from District 2 representative John Thomas. He wants expenses approved by the superintendent but not the board to be posted in a monthly report on the district's website. * Board chairman Rob Varner of District 5 reminded the board that policy revisions are required to sit for 30 days, so it will vote on Thomas' proposal during the Oct. 19 meeting. * None of the nine board members spoke against it. In fact, District 3 representative Athavia "A.J." Senior suggested expanding the proposal. She asked, "Why not post the entire expenses for the district - for full transparency?" -- Well, well, well... looks like Thomas' and Myers' campaigns are effecting other district voters who are letting their representatives know that they think it's a good idea as well. When was the last time there was an unanimous accord of the 9 board members that didn't involve meal or retreat destination?

L-E story: "A 30-year-old Columbus man was wounded Monday evening in a shooting at the intersection of First Avenue and 22nd Street, authorities said * Officials have not listed any possible suspects, but the report indicates that the attacker is not a stranger to the victim." --
 
 "report indicates that the attacker is not a stranger to the victim." --
 

Hmmm. then turn the victim over to the FBI and let them g his report.. if he lies or fails to report the crime, then arrest him.. like that "friend" of the SC shooter...

Online story: "In order to provide police and military forces with more and simpler options when it comes to using non-lethal weapons in dangerous situations, a company called Alternative Ballistics developed a clip-on attachment for handguns that turns regular bullets into non-lethal ones." -- In a word, "Why?" Why would a law enforcement officer.. heck even a private citizen want to de-lethalize what could be his/her only opportunity to save his/her own life?
 
 
---
Online story: "Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson said he would not support a Muslim as President of the United States. *  He also said that Islam, as a religion, is incompatible with the Constitution." -- Know something..

This billboard sorta sums up how ineffective a multitude of individual campaigns is.. Why didn't the military communities' governments/Chambers of Commerce just unify in keeping the whole Army at battle ready strength? This campaign just pitted the individual communities against each other.

L-E's "Quotable": “Let us put our minds together and see what life we can make for our children.”

L-E headline story: "MUSCOGEE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD * BOARD TO VOTE ON EXPENSE REPORT PROPOSAL * Muscogee County School Board member John Thomas has proposed a policy requiring a monthly report on the school district website displaying those expenditures approved by superintendent David Lewis that did not require board approval." -- Question:  Why is this not already  a long standing policy? Comment: If the vote is not unanimously "FOR" this proposal,  start a replacement search in your district for the next election.
 

From above story: " The board also will vote to award a contract of $19,267 to Allan Vigil Ford for the purchase of a pickup truck to be used in the security department." -- Two questions: 1 - Why is this going to an out-of-city dealer? We get no financial boost from it here.. 2 - Why do we have a security "force".. (over 182 employees last year) ? Redirect tax revenues for this to the CPD and all taxpayers win.

Online story: "Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump said on Saturday it was not his job to defend U.S. President Barack Obama after a man at one of his campaign events said he was a Muslim and "not even an American." -- Once again, Trump is not only "right", he's "right on"! On the other hand, Obamageddon took an oath to protect you, me, .. and Trump...and has not done so to the best of his abilities... well, I hope he has better abilities than we've seen.

You know this is how the Democrats treat their base... telling them what's 'best" for them rather than listening to the people.. and their "people" will vote for them anyway.

UGA's Mark Richt may have made a really bad tactical move by putting transfer QB Greyson Lambert in the starting position.

Columbus Council/City Manager;'s Agenda: " 60 FOOT BUCKET TRUCK WITH CHIP BODY — NATIONAL JOINT POWERS ALLIANCE (NJPA) CONTRACT: It is requested that council approve the purchase of one 60 feet bucket truck with chip body (Ford XTPro 60 feet Forestry) from Forestry Equipment of VA (FEVA) (Forest, VA) in the amount of $137,672.00, by cooperative purchase via National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA) Contract #042815-TER. The vehicle will be used by the staff of the Urban Forestry & Beautification Division to cut down trees and tree limbs hanging over streets. It is a replacement vehicle. The purchase will be accomplished via Request for Proposal Contract, initiated by the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA), whereby Terex Utilities, was one of the successful vendors contracted to provide Heavy & Agriculture Equipment. Terex Utilities has authorized FEVA to sell the XTPro product under the NJPA contract." -- You know, just a year or so ago, "we" purchased a 100' bucket truck.. won't that reach 60 ' as well? I wonder, at times, whether the City knows what it owns.. just a couple of weeks ago, a request was made to buy 4 new tractor-mowers... yet every day you can drive by the beautification areas along J.R Allen Parkway and see numerous, pretty new looking tractor-mowers just sitting out in the open ... I guess waiting for the grass to grow again.

Online headline: "Residents' claims raise questions about Calif. blazes * Some survivors said on Friday they were never notified of the deadly fires, leaving many to wonder if more could have been done to alert people." --  "leaving many to wonder if more could have been done to alert the people"?

Will you tell us your most important accomplishment as Secretary of State?

HufPOOPOO headline: "Does Japan need to be involved in the Middle East?" -- You know.. this one had me wondering why HuffPOOPOO would even feel this was a possibility.. but...

Online story: "In a mixed decision, a federal appeals court on Friday struck down as unconstitutional several strict gun registration laws in the nation's capital, but upheld other restrictions aimed at public safety.  * The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled 2-1 that the city cannot ban gun owners from registering more than one pistol per month or require owners to re-register a gun every three years. The court also invalidated requirements that owners make a personal appearance to register a gun and pass a test about firearms laws.  *  But the court upheld other parts of the law, such as requiring that so-called long guns -- including rifles and shotguns -- be registered along with handguns. The ruling also allows gun owners to be fingerprinted and photographed, pay certain fees and complete a firearms safety training course. " -- Good grief.. how can a panel get so many things right but drop the ball on other things in one case?
 
---
You know.. there's one aspect about registering all guns that might get me to listen to the arguments again.. say, if a law was passed that committing a crime while in possession of a gun that's found to be registered to someone else, then the user of the stolen gun get an automatic, non-appealable death sentence to be carried out within 30 days.

Online headline: "Pope Francis to churches: Act charitably, take in immigrants—or give up tax-free status" --
Obamageddon says 10,000 Syrian refugees will be welcomed.. Let's see, in 2010, it was determined that there were over 2000 mosques in America.. How many of those mosques have stepped up and committed to "take in" those refugees rather than it being an expense of Christians and Jews... and even atheist taxpayers?

L-E story: " Pope Francis plans to meet with Cuba’s president and its priests, its young and its sick, its churchgoers and its seminarians as he travels around the island starting today.

Between the fake blades of grass, the turf's infill contains a mix of sand and crumb rubber, composed of shredded tires, to make the surface stable, uniform and resilient. * Crumb rubber is flammable." -- Good grief.. it's bad enough that the MCSD paid $667,000.00 (when across the river, Phenix City did put in synthetic turf for "only" $500K), but now it's revealed that the field is a potential fire trap, and you know it will be the target of some future "prank" since it's frailty is now "public knowledge".

From my State Senator (and BC member): Tuition and mandatory fees are 92.7 percent higher for freshmen at UGA in Fall 2015 than for freshmen in Fall 2008. At Georgia Tech freshmen will pay 102 percent more in Fall 2015 than in Fall 2008. On average across the system, tuition and mandatory fees increased an average of 74.6 percent from Fall 2008 to Fall 2015. Do you think the legislature should have the final say on approving increases to college tuition at state colleges and universities? --  And it's even worse than this when you consider that the Lottery supported HOPE Scholarships have been tiered in a way that most students get even less to offset the soaring tuition and mandatory fee costs. On the other hand, have jobs and salaries been cut at the Lottery or the University levels in attempts to hold down the rampant costs? Go on FaceBook and support GA Senator Josh McKoon (Search: "  "Josh McKoon" and choose the one with "politician") for a forensic audit of the University System of GA.
