Online story: "Virginia will no longer recognize concealed-carry handgun permits from 25 states that have reciprocity agreements with the state, effective Feb. 1, Attorney General Mark Herring said on Tuesday.
Virginia took the step because laws in those states are less restrictive, Herring's office said in a statement.  * Concealed permit rules approved by Virginia lawmakers "should not be undermined by wrongly recognizing permits from other states with more permissive standards," said Herring, a Democrat." -- The US Supreme Court ought to pluck this out on its own..  how can a State AG simply overrule dutifully enacted laws of his state and other states...and also take away the freedoms of Virginia's law abiding citizens from having the right to carry their guns in the 25 states that will no longer honor VA's law?

Online story: "A prominent Saudi cleric is being labeled a "Grinch" online for telling Muslims around the world that they shouldn't celebrate Christmas with Christian friends. Mohammad al-Arefe, who espouses the conservative Wahhabi strain of Islam, directed his condemnation of Christmas mainly towards Muslims living in Europe." -- My first question is how can devout Muslims celebrate Christmas to begin with? Secondly, how can devout Muslims even associate with Christians?

G.I. JILLary still won't apologize to Trump... so.. but who would believe it wasn't a lie if she did?

Mainscream media is pathetic... last year, mainscream media considered Republican Senator Cruz a pariah.. now it celebrates his challenge of Trump's lead among Republican candidates. Just one more indicator that Trump is the one we need.

Some former HuffPOOPOO writer has a list of "10 Great Cities for Raising a Family".. Columbus did not make it.. don't tell Mayor TomLYINGson.. she'll be depressed and blame it on the Tax Freeze.

Online headline: "Nestlé announces they, too, will transition to cage-free eggs" -- What a chicken-s*** way to announce an upcoming price incease

Did you know that the NFL is has a  "non-profit".tax status?.. what an oxymoron...

HuffPOOPOO headline: "Hikers Flip Out As Obama Climbs Up Grueling Hawaii Trail" -- Hmmm.. musta been a horrific slice to get him off the golf course.

HuffPOOPOO story: " A Secret Service agent had his gun, portable radio, badge and other items stolen from his personal vehicle in downtown Washington, police said.  *  According to a District of Columbia police report, the theft occurred shortly before 4 p.m. Monday outside a downtown office building, less than a block from the agency's headquarters. The agent parked his car and returned a few minutes later to find a window open and a bag missing, the report said." - Excuse me, but I cannot imagine Secret Service policy would allow even an off-duty agent to not have his badge and gun on him at all times he/she is in public.

Online story: "The Washington Post removed an editorial cartoon from its website late Tuesday that depicted Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz's young daughters as trained monkeys.  * As of midnight Wednesday, the webpage where the cartoon by Ann Telnaes had been shown was replaced by a note from the Post's editorial page editor, Fred Hiatt.  * "It’s generally been the policy of our editorial section to leave children out of it," Hiatt wrote. "I failed to look at this cartoon before it was published. I understand why Ann thought an exception to the policy was warranted in this case, but I do not agree." -- "depicted ...Cruz's young daughters as trained monkeys"? Good grief.. (_*_) Telnaes would have been vilified, and burned at the stake if she'd depicted NERO-bamageddon's children as monkeys... then fired.

Online headline: "Russia accused of killing at least 200 civilians since joining Syrian fight" -- You know.. maybe his will remove the "safety" ISIS feels it has by mingling in civilian groups, and maybe civilians will stop allowing ISIS to use them as shields. It's a war,, and mainscream media feels it can write the rules of war.. well, it can't...

Online story: "  A judge upheld Seattle's so-called gun violence tax Tuesday, rejecting a challenge from the National Rifle Association and other gun rights groups. * King County Superior Court Judge Palmer Robinson dismissed arguments that Seattle's tax, adopted last summer, exceeded the city's authority under state law.
 * The measure — one of only a couple of its kind in the nation — adds $25 to the price of each firearm sold in the city, plus 2 or 5 cents per round of ammunition, depending on the type. Officials expect it to raise up to $500,000 a year to help offset the costs of gun violence. The measure is set to take effect next month." -- Good grief.. this is an example of what trickles down to local judges when the president and attorney general arbitrarily decide which laws they want to ignore, enforce or inflict on the citizens of America.. No appeals court is going to uphold it, and Seattle gun shop owners will be able to sue for real damages after their Seattle customers go outside the city to make ammo/gun purchases..

---
Hmmm..an appeals court has ruled the ban on the Washington's NFL team using "Redskins" violates the 1st Amendment. Rumor has it that NERO-bamageddon responded, "So.".

Online story: "When CNN reported on the article by running the headline, “Obama cites not watching cable news for failure to recognize terrorism fears,” the New York Times realized how stupid this made the President look. * By the next morning, that entire quotation was removed from the article. *  The quote in question from the NYT piece was: "In his meeting with the columnists, Mr. Obama indicated that he did not see enough cable television to fully appreciate the anxiety after the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, and made clear that he plans to step up his public arguments." *  When CNN reported on the article by running the headline, “Obama cites not watching cable news for failure to recognize terrorism fears,” the New York Times realized how stupid this made the President look.  * By the next morning, that entire quotation was removed from the article." --  Hmmm.. looks like both NERO-bamageddon and G.I. JILLary are going to have to strengthen the Kool-Aid they provide for mainscream media.. seems that mainscream media has built up its resistance/tolerance to the normal mixture.

From the "were you aware of this" department: For the 5th anniversary remembrance in 2006, Putin and Russia presented a memorial monument to 9-11-01 victims and gave it to New Jersey to place on a point overlooking the Statue of Liberty? It's actually a poignant and gripping work.. where was mainscream media ?

Online headline: "Even Huffington Post Says Hillary Clinton’s Donald Trump/Islamic State Claim Is BOGUS" -- Hmmm quite a flip-flop from the HuffPOOPOO's headline from MOnday when it said it wasn't true ..."Not Yet" anyway.

What a rock upturned.. Following G.I. JILLary's claims of Trump being in ISIS videos, an ISIS video has been uncovered showing NERO-gbamageddon, Kerry and her hubby, Bill in a propaganda piece.. God is good, all the time"

Online story: "The city of Augusta isn’t the only local government affected by a multimillion-dollar sales tax overpayment by an aircraft maintenance business. * Richmond County schools will be on the hook for about $1.86 million, plus interest, from education sales tax funds, said Kaden Jacobs, the school system’s communication and community engagement manager. * City officials learned Thurs­day from the Georgia De­­part­­ment of Revenue that the aircraft business had paid penny sales taxes on exempt aircraft parts by as much as $7 million and was demanding a refund." -- Don't you know brains are churning in every GA business where LOSTs.SPLOSTs, and T-SPLOSTs are in force? Especiallt here in Columbus where we have 4 such aberrations..

---

Naively stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " I welcome every person from Harris County to Columbus on any day. Every dollar you spend here helps pave my roads and send my kids to school." -- Hmm.. first of all, Harris County benefits more from the T-SPLOST tax than Muscogee County does.. and this LIV doesn't realize he/she is paying a lot more in LOST/SPLOST and T-SPLOST taxes than the average Harris County consumer, because everything Columbus folks buy daily is being charged...In addition, Harris County folks pay less, considerably less, in property taxes for school and have better results.. and then there are those who send their kids to Columbus High by using false addresses while taking away a spot for a Columbus student to go there.

That woman who caused several wrecks Saturday night that also killed a 7 year old boy was arraigned yesterday.. one of the charges is auto-theft.. I'm curious as to how the car theft charge was made.. The woman was naked, but I assume she had a key as her condition pretty much rules out she was able to "hotwire" it, so it appears that either the car was left running somewhere, or that she was in an apt/condo in a state of nakedness and grabbed a car key as she fled. Anyone else have ideas?

L-E story: "WHITTLESEY ROAD CONSTRUCTION * The long-running Whittlesey Road widening project will not be completed until June or July due to unforeseen problems, primarily related to utilities, according to state DOT board member Sam Wellborn.” We’ve run into a number of problems getting it finished,” Wellborn said. “But we’re back on track and it should be finished in June or July.” The construction project began in fall 2012 and was estimated to take about 2 ½ years to complete." -- "primarily related to utilities"? Where did this lie materialize.. out of the G.I. JILLary reserve? The company was already given an extra 6 months (which expired at the end of October) plus an additional $1,000,000+ dollars.. it's time to make some changes that favor the taxpayers!  Sadly, if what is materializing to be the eventual outcome, it's a mess!
