Have you noticed Hillary's campaign slogan.... "Fighting for us"?  You know.. I'd feel a lot less anxious about her winning if I knew she was "Fighting for the US". Some how, I just do not think she is fighting for the American taxpayers.

From the "mainscream media is starting to take it's gloves off in Hillary's presence" department - Online headline/story: "Univision's Jorge Ramos confronts Hillary Clinton: Would you drop out of the race if you get indicted?  * Univision debate moderator Jorge Ramos confronted Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Wednesday over her email scandal, directly asking her if she would drop out of the race for her party's nomination if she were indicted.  * "If you get indicted, will you drop out?" he asked her.
The former secretary of state refused to answer the question.  * "Oh, for goodness," she started when Ramos pressed her on the issue after she initially danced around it. "It's not going to happen. I'm not even answering that question." -- Did Hillary just inadvertently "take the fifth" to a question even Fox did not... would not.. ask her?

From the "talk about sneaky" department: - Our legislative delegation "chair" put an ad in the L-E on February 26th.. a Friday, on the bottom left corner of Page B4. The significance of these facts is that the ad location on a Friday is probably the least read space on the least read day of the week. In addition.. wording is such that it is basically a "half truth".. and  Blacckthorne described a "half truth" as the "blackest of all lies". The ad wording says the referendum is to "revise" the "base year assessed value homestead exemption for purposes of the Muscogee County school and  consolidated city-government ad valorem taxes formerly provided for by a local constitutional amendment; and other purposes." -- There are two LIES in this wording.. one is that this is not about revising anything.. it's av\bout REPEALING  constitutional amendment so that simple court or Council actions can terminate  what has been protected by by an amendment in the State Constitution.. and.. the second lie is that there is NO homestead exemption in place for the taxes levied by the Muscogee County School District Board.



-------------------------------------

I do not know why State Representative Pezold is so fired up about repealing our Constitutionally protected assessment freeze. I'm looking at a very valuable vacant building  lot on Graystone Dr owned by one of his family members that's situated amidst mansions that's assessed (un-exempt, I might add) at a paltry $93. 969.00 and pays only $1,552.00 in ad valorem taxes. Based on  a formula that property value is about 20% of a house's value, then a home built their would be in the $470K range.. which, in that neighborhood might erect a garage.


Online headline: "Exam shows Obama lost 5 pounds, gained a half-inch in height" -- Good grief.. does NERO-bamageddon think we'll believe his doctor? What's happened is simple to explain.. NERO-bamageddon has simply dispensed 5 pounds of BS and he's standing on top of it.

It's amazing to watch leftists band together to support #anybodybuttrump. This just exposes the the denigration of the Republican Party's support of the principles our forefathers fought for and passed on to us in the Constitution.

---
Did you hear/read about the Silicon Valley billionaires' club conferencing to pool their ideas and money to undermine Trump?

---
Hillary will never be able to blame her ills on a "vast Right-wing Republican conspiracy".. now, like Trump, she'll have to be concerned with "vapid Left-wing Republican conspirators"

---
Online headline: "Glenn Beck: If GOP Nominates Donald Trump, It Will Bring "An End To The Republican Party" -- Good grief.. there RNC has pretty much ended the Republican Party.. just look at it's Casper Milquetoast candidates in the last 7 elections... if it weren't for Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry, even the Bush father-son team wouldn't have won.

---
LIV's (Liberal Informed Voter) L-E "soundoff": "Mitt Romney's speech about Trump was absolutely factual and honest. Heavens! There is a non-hater among you." -- "absolutely factual"? The only thing "absolutely factual" is the stupidity of the writer of this "soundoff".. followed closely by the L-E employee who elected to print it.

L-E story: "Iran test-launched two ballistic missiles Wednesday emblazoned with the phrase “Israel must be wiped out” in Hebrew... in a show of power by the Shiite nation as U.S. Vice President Joe Biden visited Jerusalem."  - "show of power"? .. How about a show of arrogance and disrespect for the Obama/Kerry treaty?  Good grief.. Obamageddon & Kerry litereally gave them "the keys to the bank" so they can afford to do this.

From the "personal grudge and hit piece" department - L-E story: "For those wondering when the Muscogee County School Board ever will be in harmony, members literally had their chance Monday evening. *  During the board’s work session, some of the district’s music teachers, led by Mark Montgomery of Clubview Elementary School, guided the board, superintendent David Lewis and his cabinet members through a xylophone lesson. * Several folks in the audience whipped out their electronic devices to record the potentially newsworthy moment. After all, District 8 representative Frank Myers was given a mallet. * But at least in the Ledger-Enquirer’s video, available on our website and Facebook page, Myers wasn’t seen as a participant. Instead, he posted on his Facebook page a photo of the marimba placed at his seat, along with this comment: * “In tonight's episode of the Muscogee County School Board, to avoid the contentious subject of our district's high percentage of perpetually failing schools, board members will perform some impromptu numbers on the xylophone. * “You can't make this up.” -- Good grief.. Myers is right... how much time and money was spent on wasting school board  business.  If a music director wants to invite the board out to see a scheduled performance at a school function, so be it, but there's a whole lot more official business that needs to be taken care of.. Wonder if drinks and popcorn were available?

The online Columbus L-E has a question  it is asking readers to respond about how they like the new "look" of the L-E. Good grief.. nothing has really changed... the L-E is more worried over style versus substance. The hit piece on Frank Myers by Mark Rice (above) is a great example.
