Online headline: "Study says Bernie Sanders' tax plan could nearly double national debt" -- "could"? Doubling would just be a start since obviously the Common CRAP Curriculum has left out teaching students about the consequences of debt when you run out of other people's money..

Br'er Trump has taunted Hillary by saying, "Hillary's too smart to choose (Elizabeth) Warren as her running mate".  heh heh heh

---
While we know it's just another Hillary lie that she's recruiting Republican voters to vote for her, wouldn't it actually be an admission that there aren't enough Democrats who will vote for her against Trump?

---
Why does Paul Ryan seem concerned whether Trump can appeal,to a wide diverse audience? Has the GOP/RNC already forgotten that the Republican base abandoned all of the "establishment candidates" and supported Trump & Cruz?

---
Paul Ryan said he just wasn't ready to endorse Trump at this time...what he doesn't understand is that he had one time to make a good impression,...and he's blown it.

How can the DOJ use the laws prohibiting discrimination based on a person's genitalia for the civil rights of a person who claims he/she wishes to identify with the other sex? Is the LPGA prepared to allow men claiming they "identify" themselves as women to play? And what about Title IX issues? And what about set asides and grants for women owned/operated businesses...if a man claims he identifies as woman when he files for such? Vote Trump!

---
You know, if the DOJ's contention that a person's choice of "identity" is a right under the LBJ's Civil Rights Law, then the Seattle NAACP owes Rachel Dolezal and apology, her job back, and back pay... Her claim to be black is just as valid as a male pervert claiming to be a woman.

---
The DOJ has responded within hours to the lawsuit filed by NC protesting the DOJ order to force governments and businesses to let grown males to use ladies' restrooms. Makes you wonder why the DOJ hasn't moved on Hillary's e-mail criminal activities.

.Online headline: "Jon Stewart breaks silence on election, tears into Trump" -- Hmmm... guess this is the third leg of the "Perfect Storm"... Democrats and Republicans have been joined by Jon Stewart... what more reason can you need to know Trump is the one we need.

---
HuffPOOPOO "headline: "Children Are Most At Risk From Climate Change" -- Good grief.. liberals have about conceded that when their "facts" are disproven, then campaign on "it's for the children".. just look at how schools systems get SPLOST taxes passed...

---
Don't you know Clint Eastwood has regrets about who he said the "empty chair" represented?

---
Fox showed poll results of our military personnel and Trump led Hillary 54% to 25%. Let's support our military!

---
You know... you'd think the L-E would consider the future before endorsing warmed-over MCSB members for re-election. With the cost of newspaper subscriptions, current high school grads not only will have to be able to read, they'll have to be able to get jobs with above average salaries.

---
A liberal anchor asked Hillary what 3 questions she would want him to ask Trump. Hmmm..now...do you think the same (_*_) will ask Trump what 3 questions he should ask Hillary in his next interview?

---
Talk about laughable. I heard Alan Colmes complaining that Trump constantly lies and the media isn't holding him responsible.. think about that...Alan Colmes complaining about a politician who lies and isn't being held accountable...good grief...Hey, Colmes...I have a couple of followup questions I want you to ask Hillary once she's lied about the softball questions you give her.

---
Those ads for $25.00 for blankets, bread, and medicine for holocaust survivors...I want to.know how many boxes has that rabbi/shill has donated personally and how many boxes could be bought for the money spent on production,  ad purchase costs , and his salary.

---
Our US Army is now below 480,000 active soldiers...that's less than we had in 1940 BEFORE WWII...now, with a change in the White House eminent, it looks like America will be under the same conditions that led to 9-11-01 when Clinton left office... and us... with a weakened military presence.

Online headline: "NYC mayor says he won’t support new Chick-fil-A, urges others not to" -- I'm sure Chick-fil-A is "OK" with this.. If Mayor de Bl(_*_)sio and his friends boycott Chick-fil-A, normal customers can rest assured of not having to worry whether perverts are using the wrong bathrooms.

---
You know.. I feel pretty sure neither Marshal Countryman nor Muni Clerk Bishop feels having their case thrown back into the local Superior Court system during election time is no favor.. especially since the voters are being reminded that both of them illegally charged legal fees on their tax payer paid City-issued credit cards.

---
L-E headline: "Lewis says scores should bring ‘urgency,’ not ‘panic’ * Representative Green contends poverty, disabilities are factors * Superintendent Lewis said scores aren’t acceptable but notes progress and welcomes higher standards *  Representatives Myers and Thomas object to ‘excuses’" -- Well, it looks like one statement in this "headline" address the problem.. the Myers/Thomas evaluation! As for Green.. poverty is always with us, but using it as an excuse for failure is despicable! And Lewis is delusional.. higher standards will just make the results look worse.

Finally - a response from the GA DOT concerning the delays of the Whittlesey Road widening project:

" Georgia DOT begins hundreds of millions of dollars in new transportation projects each year. While multi-year transportation projects can be complicated, most do not result in significant delays in completion.
   Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the reconstruction and widening project on Whittlesey Road in Columbus.
   This is in response to the April 27 letter to the editor regarding significant delays on this project. Georgia DOT agrees that the project has been going on for way too long and has inconvenienced the public and the community.
   The project began in a timely manner. The contractor, McMath-Turner Construction Company (MTCC), received notice to proceed in July 2012; work began one month later; and the anticipated completion date was April 30, 2015.
   For this project, one section was delayed due to utility relocation issues. Utility relocation activities were completed in July 2015; the project is currently 60 percent complete.
   First, we apologize for the inconvenience and the delays experienced by the traveling public. Second, we are accountable to you and we are working aggressively with the contractor to correct the issues and to complete the project. Third, we are working within the legal limits of our contract and have withheld payments from the contractor for several months to secure a more timely schedule. And last, we have taken every measure to ensure increased activity on the project going forward to completion.
   Looking ahead, a new project on Talbotton Road will include a financial incentive for the contractor to complete the project on time.
   Georgia DOT ensures transparency in all of our activities. As more information is available, including status updates, we will keep the public informed.
   – Michael Presley, District 3 Engineer, Georgia DOT

The only questions left are why didn't the L-E, Council, and Mac Turner say this when asked about the problems?

 Of course, the DOT is going back(_*_)wards in putting financial incentives in for ontime completion of the Talbotton Road project.. it needs to have penalties for delays as well.

What is it with the L-E? Does the L-E condone inefficiency in government? Good grief.. in its endorsements of the School Board, and now Council, the L-E supports the past mediocre prformances that have reduced our fund balance to intolerable lows, and have hung the AquaticCenter around our necks like an albatross..
