After a round of engaging exchanges about his commitment join forces with Mayor TomLYINGson to raise our taxes, I'm not sure which moniker fits Representative John Pezold best... "Whiner-King" or "John PEZ-soldout"? The "whiner-king" is pretty obvious, but I'm leaning more towards "PEZ-soldout" ...he is sorta like a PEZ dispenser..someone pushes down on his head, and he spits out a block of crap.

---
I find it sorta depressing that John Pezold, a.k.a "Whiner-king"/PEZ-soldout", has no competition in the May Primary, nor from the Democrats for November.. I guess with his alignment with Mayor TomLYINGson on going after our tax protection, the Democrats are more happy with him than anyone else in the Democrat Party.

Online Reuters' report of a NYT story: " Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump told the New York Times he would consider stopping U.S. oil purchases from Saudi Arabia unless the Saudi government provide troops to fight Islamic State." Well sorta... it was actually "Trump's comment on Friday was included in a lengthy foreign policy interview published by the newspaper on Saturday and came in response to a question about whether, if elected president, he would halt oil purchases from U.S. allies unless they provided on-the-ground forces against Islamic State. "The answer is, probably yes," Trump said, according to a transcript. Trump has said the United States should be reimbursed by the countries it provides protection, even those with vast resources such as Saudi Arabia, a top oil exporter. * "And yet, without us, Saudi Arabia wouldn't exist for very long," Trump told the Times." -- Hear, Hear! Trump's right! .... again... as usual...

HuffPOOPOO headline/story: "Donald Trump Effigies Burn Across Mexico In Easter Ritual
The burning is part of a widespread Mexican Holy Week tradition where neighborhoods burn effigies to represent Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus Christ according to the Bible. The effigies are often modeled on unpopular political figures." -- Can you imagine the HuffPOOPOO headlines if Trump had burned a Mexican in effigy? Not to mention the "lynching" aspect...

L-E headline/story: "Man shot dead at Peachtree Mall  * 24-year-old man found wounded at mall entrance Witness said the victim had at least five gunshot wounds  *  The shooting is the third report of gunfire at the shopping mall in more than a month." -- How appropriate that baseball season is upon us.. in the vernacular: "Strike Three!.. you're out!"

LIV's L-E "soundoff": "Please, voters, we need another Clinton in the White House to balance the budget." -- Good grief.. the Common CRAP curriculum may be to far along to turn around! Clinton didn't balance a budget,, Newt Gingrich and the Republicans balanced the budget.

L-E guest editorial headline: "‘Religious freedom' laws are about freedom to discriminate * BY MARY SANCHEZ" -- :freedom to discriminate"? How about "freedom to make choices" guaranteed by our Constitution! Liberals don't know what they want, but what ever it is, they want it for themselves only..

Talking about Trump and Cruz idea to break away from NATO, Hillary actually said we cannot tolerate pitting groups of people against other groups. HUH? Her whole campaign is based on pitting groups of people against other groups of people.

Online headline/story: "Ted Cruz is closing in on Donald Trump in a crucial state  *  Ted Cruz may be gaining on Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump in the largest remaining state in the Republican primary. * A new USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll of likely Republican voters published on Sunday showed the Texas senator, with 35% support, just 1 point behind Trump's 36% in California." --
"may be gaining"?  Good grief... how can a poll extrapolate who might vote in June from people they polled in March?

Online headline: "Woman details 'nightmare' date with Donald Trump * Lucy K******* met the GOP front-runner 40 years ago when he was in his late 20s -- and now she's revealing how awful their dinner date really was." -- Good grief.. mainscream media is now interested in the women in TRump's past, but wanted to drop everything about the women in Slick Willie's past? And I just wish the mainscream media had been interested in anything in ZERO-bamageddon's past!

Online headline/story: "Trump to fix crazy primary process by suing Louisiana * while Trump beat Ted Cruz by 3.6 percentage points in Louisiana, the Texas senator may walk away with 10 more delegates. Technically Trump and Cruz won the same number of delegates, 18 each, but since Marco Rubio dropped out of the race, his delegates are now free agents. They're expected to back Cruz, along with the state's five unbound delegates. Cruz supporters also snatched up five of Louisiana's six spots on the committees that will write the rules of the GOP convention, which could be key in determining the winner of a contested convention." -- Good grief.. the RNC/GOP-leadership is setting "fair" back into the dark ages.. In fact, it sounds like a Clinton "move"..depending on how you define "fair".

Online headline: "8 things you can get for free from the government * There are tons of benefits available to the average U.S. citizen that you might not be aware of -- including free car seat installations and credit reports." -- Hmmm.. "8 things you can get for free"? Maybe so, but it's the 9th one that kills you.. "enslavement".

From the "suspicions confirmed" department - L-E headline/story: "Another problem plagues Weracoba Creek *    “Can you tell me what’s going on with that barrel brigade blocking part of Cherokee?” Sonny asked. “They’ve been there going on about two months and I never see any work being done. * Well Sonny, I’ve got good news and bad. * The bad news is that it’s not going to get better anytime real soon. The good news is the cause of the bad news. Most, if not all of the $400,000-$500,000 it’s going to cost to repair the failing wall will be picked up by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said city Engineering Director Donna Newman.” -- Hmm.. just last week I mentioned that I was thinking about going into the retail "orange barrel" business because I thought that anytime the City had a road problem, it just stuck out "orange barrels" instead of fixing them.. Unfortunately, because Mayor TomLYINGson has dipped way too often and way too deep into our "fund balance/rainy day" accounts, she having to wait on FEMA to dip way to much in the National Debt to come up with the money for this project.. looks like another "lose-lose" situation for us taxPAYERS.

From the above story: " And then there is the possibly apocryphal tale of a scion of one of Columbus’ old families roaring down the Country Club of Columbus driveway after spending way too much time at the bar. He reportedly neglected to turn either left or right onto Cherokee and nose-dived into the ditch. He was allegedly pulled out of the wreck and driven home without making even a perfunctory stop at the cop shop.
 *  It pays to be a scion." -- Hmmm... "pays to be a scion"? What's sad is that the L-E will not
nose-dive" into a story of a "scion"... which probably is more because (I'm guessing here) the scion's father probably is an advertiser in the L-E.

L-E headline/story: "Teddy Reese kicks off campaign for Council District 10 seat *  Standing in front of the Beallwood Area Neighborhood Development Community Center, attorney Teddy Reese kicked off his campaign Saturday for Council District 10 in a neighborhood with needs." -- Good grief.. this isn't a City problem.. it's the rental property owners and their renters who need to take better care of that area..oh, and not at taxpayer expense like Mayor TomLYINGson did a few months ago.

Oh, and if Attorney Reese wants to do something for Columbus, how about organizing a "recall referendum" for Mayor TomLYINGson and really help Columbus... and I'd donate to that.

LIV's L-E "soundoff": " There is something hypocritical about paying Elton John, an admitted homosexual, money to entertain you if you are a Bible-believing Christian." -- Good grief.. how judgmental.. Christians do not bash people for what they believe, but Christians do stand up when someone flaunts his/her contrary beliefs in our faces, or demands we accept it as normal.

L-E headline/story: "$100 million from World Bank to create 100,000 Jordan jobs * Jordan will get a cheap $100 million loan to help create 100,000 jobs for Syrian refugees and its own citizens, the World Bank president said Sunday. * Jordan hosts about 640,000 registered Syrian refugees" -- $100 MILLION dollars! Wow, that'll make everything great! What BS! $100 Million for 100 Thousand jobs is ..what.. $1,000.00 a job.. doing what? and if you spread that out amongst 640,000 refugees, you;d get about $156.00 a person.. and Jordan is not going to pay back that "loan".. To be honest, that $100,000,000 dollars is going into politicians pockets.
