Enrichment Services Program in Columbus, GA.. whatta opportunity for ineptness and waste and fraud.. Last month, I published an ad ESP ran telling those who had applied for heating assistance appointments too early (at ESP's instructions) were void and they had to reapply Dec 1st. Today, there is another ad for making appointments for January 8th at Occasions Event Center on Victory Drive,,, why? Why at a event rental facility?.. ESP has an office at Cross Country on Macon Road.. Is Occasion Event Center donating its time and space? I sure hope so..Besides. who's been running their heaters the past two weeks?

Michelle Obama's brother Craig was finally fired after 6 years at Oregon State.. his teams had a 36-69 PAC 12 record. Don't worry for him though.. political correctness had him getting about a $1,000,000.00 per season and a buy out of $4,000.000.00. AS Mel Brooks would probably say.. It's nice to be the king... even the king's brother-in-law...Oh.. his replacement is now 9-2 for this year...but making less.

Online headline: "Researcher: Database of 191 million US voters exposed on Internet" -- Hmmm.. sounds dangerous that 191 country-wide voters are in one database... but.. as long as that many are available, the Federal Election Commission should cross reference voters social security numbers against deaths and check how many times each social security number has been used to register/vote in each state.

HuffPOOPOO headline: "U.S. Security Aid To Mexico Dwindles Amid Human Rights Abuses" -- Good grief.. we have actually been paying Mexico to keep security, but the total has dropped from $720 MILLION Bush43 used to $146 Million under NERO-Obamageddon.. no wonder there's no security on the Mexican side of the border where drug mules and illegal aliens cross unhindered. Trump is right.. simply by eliminating the funds given to Mexico, he can build a fence that Mexico will pay for.

HuffPOOPOO headline: "Islamic State Issues Fatwa On How To Properly Rape Enslaved Women, Girls" -- Still.. NERO-bamageddon will not call them Islamist terrorists... This is a true war on women basically endorsed by the titular head of the Democratic Party.

So the new Star Wars movie grossed $1 BILLION the opening weekend. Let's parse that. Based on what local 2-D movie tickets cost, let's assess ticket costs nationally at $13.00 ($12.00 + $1.00 for Fandango), that's about 77,000 tickets. Considering that Star Wars fans and Sci-fi geeks probably saw it 2.5 times each, that means only about 31,000 people actually saw it.. that's about 1-in-10,000 Americans.

I'm curious....how does anyone expect a different policy about ISIS than NERO-bamageddon is implementing..when his only advisor, Valerie Jarrett and his former Secretary-of-State's is Huma Abedin-Weiner, are both Muslims, and his spiritual leader is Jeremiah Wright?

You know.. after failing to complete the Whittlesey Road widening project in the original time plus an additional 6 months, whether by the contractor or the GA DOT, all business owners should be compensated for the excessive hardship it is having on them, and will have for the next 6-12 months... or longer if the same pattern is kept.

In the "Letters" feature of the L-E, Walter Thorne, now of NYC, feels he has a grasp on what's god or bad for Colum bus and Harris County. he writes: " Important public officials such as Sheriff Jolley should protect citizens from government-sanctioned religious dogma from any faith. He is required to put the U.S. Constitution front and center when on the job. He is the highest police official in Harris County, and he should protect all its citizens from any government religious coercion and welcome any citizen or potential citizen, irrespective of religion, race or political philosophy." -- Hmmm.. wonder if Walter Thorne "feels" a Sharia Law practicing sheriff would be as protective of all religious rights/beliefs of non-Muslims as Sheriff Jolley is of all religious beliefs?
