Online story: "While lambasting Hillary Clinton over the FBI's investigation into her use of a private email server at the State Department, the crowd reprised the anti-Clinton "lock her up" chant that gained traction during last week's Republican National Convention. *  Trump said, "I've been saying, let's just beat her on November 8. * But you know what?" he added. "I'm starting to agree with you." * But after watching that performance [Thursday] night — such lies — I don't have to be so nice anymore. I'm taking the gloves off."" -- "take the gloves off? Whew.. I'd be a little cautious.. I'd at least wear some elbow length, heavy-duty, crap-proof gloves and some chest height, snake bite proof waders..

Online headline: "Tim Kaine rips Donald Trump for thinking the Virginia senator was from New Jersey" 88 KAINT just took the bait.. Trump pretty much .. whether by error or design.. has KAINT knocking New Jersey, and at the same time, not focusing on defending/deflecting the $4 BILLION in tax increases KINT initiated in Virginia when he was governor.. increases that even effected those making as little as $17,000.00 a year. Laughin' Br'er Donald just got KAINT to throw him back in the Briar patch...

Online headline/story: "Microsoft to cut about 2,850 more jobs * The software giant will layoff about 2,850 people over the next year as it continues to unwind its smartphone hardware business. Microsoft (MSFT, Tech30) disclosed the news in a regulatory filing on Thursday. * The new cuts come on the heels of 1,850 layoffs announced two months ago, and about 7,800 losses a year ago. * However, Microsoft went through its biggest round of layoffs in the company's history when it cut 18,000 positions in 2014," -- Hmmm.. 2,850 + 1,850 + 7,800... that's 12,500 high paying jobs that ZERO-bama and "Hellary" (new name) support Bill Gates has eliminated...you know,, when you consider the salaries at Microsoft, the revenue losses to the economy created by these job cuts probably were more than all the "gains" created by the so-called 15,000,000 minimum wage jobs that ZERO-bama spinmeisters say he created..

---
Democratic Party spinmeisters are proclaiming ZERO-bama "created" 15,000,000 jobs, and that Hellary will do the same> Hmmm ... in Clintonese political speak... it's depends on how you define "created"...there's two type.. the physical act of creation.. which doesn't apply here, or the Democratic Party spinmeister type ... you know, created Menatlly but with no facts to back it up.

---
Online headline/story: "Storms force protesters to seek shelter on final day of Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia * "Over 3,000 cloud-to-ground lightning strikes hit southeast Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, northeast Maryland and northern Delaware Thursday,"" -- Hmmm.. my previous call about Democrats being careful about what they wished for looks a little bit prophetic.. 3,000 lightning strikes... sorta like a warning shot that God probably gave Sodom and Gomorrah when so many blasphemers gather in one spot.

---
Give credit to Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf for showing up at the Democrat Convention in Philadelphia...almost wondered why Kasich didn't show up, too.

---
From the "random out-in-left-field thought" department: Inkjet printer cartridges... does anyone know how many milligrams of ink are actually in a HP Inkjet cartridge?  I've scoured the packaging and HP's "learn about supplies" website trying to find out how much physical ink is in one.. and with no luck...I know of no other liquid product sold in America that doesn't have an approved content weight printed in the package.. how does HP get away with this?

---
Online headline: "Off-duty police officer with his 2 kids denied service at a Texas McDonald's" -- Whoa! After similar incidents at Arb'ys, Krystal, and Taco Bell, pretty soon, we'll all be eating healthier just by avoiding fast food brands that allow employees to disrespect our law enforcement community.. I just hope no individual (_*_) at Duncan Donuts denies service to a police officer.

---
Online headline: "Malia Obama skips Hillary's DNC speech " -- Good grief.. after lisyening to the same spiel her father has been spewing for the past 9 years, I guess so.. she's heard it all before, and know's none of it will get done.

---
Surely the Democratic Party voters would like to vote  for their candidates on a basis of leadership skills  versus on a genetic race or gender basis ... unfortunately, there are no Democrats offering leadership skills.

---
Online story: "The U.S. Department of Justice national security division is investigating whether cyber attacks on Democratic political organizations threatened U.S. security, sources familiar with the matter said on Friday." -- Good grief.. why is the DOJ interested in the manipulative data  about how Democrats try to rig elections, but weren't when Clinton's personal server was being hacked for our nation's secrets?

---
Online story: :"In the Kansas ruling, a county judge said the state must count thousands of votes in local and state elections from people who did not provide proof of U.S. citizenship when they registered. " -- Good grief.. how can a "county judge" have power over the US Constitution? Our Constitution spells it out. The Fifteenth Amendment (Amendment XV) to the United States Constitution prohibits the federal and state governments from denying a CITIZEN the right to vote based on that citizen's "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." , and it all starts with being a CITIZEN.

Following up.. The Civil Rights Act of 1866.. that's right. 1866 was vetoed by Andrew Johnson who took office following Lincoln assassination by a Democrat, Johnson was the 17th President of the United States, serving from 1865 to 1869 . * "In 1864, Johnson, as a War Democrat and Southern Unionist, was a logical choice as running mate for Lincoln, who wished to send a message of national unity in his re-election campaign." After Johnson, a Democrat, vetoed the Cu=ivil Rights Act of 1866, Congress overturned that veto.. it was a majority REPUBLICAN Congress.. So much for Lincoln setting an example of trying to reach out to the Democrats across the aisle. In fact, it was this that was the center piece of the impeachment procedure taken by the House to remove the Democrat Johnson.

---
Can Hillary say anything without lying..yesterday, while still in Philadelphia, Hillary was praising Philadelphia for its museums and other historic sites. She said delegates went sightseeing every day and would come back to the convention center and tell her how wonderful it all was. What BS! You know dang well that delegates didn't have daily access to her, and she wouldn't have seen anybody who wasn't part of her team ot hadn't raised a 6-figure check with her.

---
Good old Hank Johnson stuck his foot in his mouth...again...only this time he pretty much gnawed it off. With 28 of the 29 Jewish members of Congress being Democrats, I guess there was a loud enough call for his resignation for calling Israeli Jews "termites", that he sent out an apology. Now he should send one out apologizing to all Georgians for this and his other numerous (and incredulously stupid) gaffes.

---
Thursday night, Bill O'Reilly said he was tired of bringing on obviously partisan guest spinmeisters on to his show who don't want to actually answer questions he poses, and wasn't going to do so between now and the election. I hope he meant it..I'm going to start watching him again. I've also started changing channels whenever Fox lets Alan Colmes, Juan Williams, Geraldo, or Jemu Green are allowed on, and I avoid Shepard Smith altogether.

---
I went to a funeral yesterday morning..no, it was a true celebration of life of someone who left this world way too soon. As her husband spoke, he held one of his granddaughters, and you knew she knew her grandmother had gone to live with Jesus, and she was OK. She knew she will see her again later in her life and her grandmother would be free of pain You know..how do atheists explain death to their children/grandchildren...that you're born, life's tough, then you die, and are buried. Where is the comfort for a child. If you haven't, get to know Jesus, walk hand-in-hand with him and introduce him to your family.

---
L-E headline: "Get ready for the nastiest, most unpredictable race" -- Hmmm.. guess reality has hit the L-E like a V-8 palm shot against their foreheads.. Up until a few months ago, the L-E pretty much assumed the 2016 Election would actually be a routine coronation for Hellary. Now the L-E is just as worried as the DNC, about America getting back on track .

 

---
 L-E headline/story: "Muscogee County School District awards schools for academic growth *  The district’s SGP Awards, measured by the Student Growth Percentile, are based on the 2015 results of the state’s standardized tests, called the Georgia Milestones Assessment System, because the Georgia Department of Education hasn’t finished calculating the 2016 SGP, Muscogee Superintendent David Lewis told the Ledger-Enquirer in an email Friday." -- " based on the 2015 results of the state’s standardized tests"?  Good grief.. this just demonstrates the lack of attention to detail our students are suffering from.. If this award was worthwhile, it should have been given out during the last school year.. not after many students have moved on.. I guess the "Common CRAP" curriculum is far more widespread than we knew.

 

---

L-E's "Thought for Today": “The secret of managing is to keep the guys who hate you away from the guys who are undecided.” — Casey Stengel, American baseball manager (born this date in 1890, died in 1975). -- Hmmm...now we know where the DNC got the idea to lock out Bernie supporters from the DNC Convention on Wednesday and Thursday.

 

---

For the record, I did not listen to the DNC speeches after 7:00 PM so I didn't hear Hillary.. but I probably can tell you everything positive she said... 1  -  ..........

---

ZERO-bama described 2008 Hillary as Ginger Rogers...he said she did everything he led her to do, only backwards...and in heels..hmmmm...wasn't that a sexist gender slur against women?

---
Now that a judge has released Hinkley,.does anyone know who appointed that judge, and did the judge tell him he couldn't get within shooting distance of Trump?

---
Did you see the opening "prayer" the other night at the DNC Convention by Cynthia Hale?  She praised God for giving them wisdom (versus seeking HIS wisdom). She also asked that God unite them.. they better be careful about getting what they wish for... the last time God united "democrats" all in one place, it was Sodom and Gomorrah.

---
That video of anger shown by Baltimore State Attorney Marilyn Mosby is disturbing.. I want to see a prosecutor angry at injustice.. not justice.

---
Looks like another "Hillary make-over" balloon is being thrown up in the air to see if another "lead balloon" can float. What's "change" when she..and ZERO-bama, want a third term of his?

---
You know, the Democrats are trying to paint Trump as a demagogue. Unfortunately, the Dems are describing Trump as the man most people have been waiting for to lead America back to the top of the world.

---
Mainscream media had a cow when Trump suggested that the Russians look for the 30,000 e-mails Hillary destroyed.. you know, why isn't mainscream media giddy about seeing what Hillary claims are personal rather than "evidence" of covert activity?

---
Democrats are saying Trump is treasonous..because he encouraged the Russians to find Hillary's missing 30,000 e-mails from her personal server. Hmmm..wait a minute..Hillary said ALL those e-mails were personal, not security concerns. Was she lying, and now is concerned about the Russians actually having them?

---
When Trump said he hoped Russia had and would release Hillary's deleted e-mails, I..and I'm sure most of intelligent America, caught the sarcasm and chucked. Not so with liberals.. as I've long contended, the first sign of being a liberal is losing one's sense of humor.

---
When libs try to convince others that Trump is playing to our fears about security...they are right..except they don't add that the security they are talking about is real because libs have incubated it by denying the existence of Islamist Terrorism. And when terror is real, there is no paranoia , and the public NEEDS to know the truth about the real dangers that the libs are trying to gloss over.

---
Democrats and mainscream media are upset at Trump sounding the alarm about the invasion of terrorists coming illegally into America. Frankly, Trump should be celebrated as the 21st Century Paul Revere.

---
Trump is being excoriated by mainscream media for "breaking the rules" about campaigning while the DNC Convention is convened. Frankly, I'm excited to know we will be able to depend on Trump to work rather than golf when our nation is under attack

---
Can you believe Leon Panetta is back on the Democratic stage? Panetta basically exposed ZERO-bama's inadequateness, but I guess Panetta feels Hillary will give him another job.

---
Have you seen the ad being run by a Pro-Trump PAC about the steel industry jobs..it's best positive PAC ad I've ever seen, and.if run enough times, it may get Trump elected by a landslide... even Pennsylvania will connect.

---
Though mainscream media is ignoring the Bernie protesters outside the DNC Convention, protesters are scaling the "unscalable" fence erected by te DNC to prevent this... so much for showing the Democrat version of a wall will keep anybody out of places they shouldn't be.

---
You know, if the 10 Democrat Jewish US Senators actually worked with the party that supports..is all.in..for Israel, the Republican Party could get things done by having the ability to overrule ZERO-bama's Executive Orders and vetoes.

---
Online headline: "In contrast to Trump, Obama lays out optimistic vision for America"-- Good grief...just the thought of his terms ending presents an optimistic vision for America, but why didn't initiate some of it when he was in office?

---
From the "What's transparent about this" department: George Zornick of "The Nation" brought up the fact that the list of donors paying for the DNC (and probably the RNC, too) Convention will not be revealed for 60 days after it has wrapped up..meaning October. By then, mainscream media will not be interested in connecting Hillary with big banks.. and George Soros.

---
'What's that definition about insanity being about doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results...yeah like putting Pat Hugley Green and Cathy Williams back on the school board... and considering to put Hillary in the Oval Office. You know, this is also the definition of stupidity.

---
With the chaos the ZERO-bama/Hillary immigration "program" has created, why WOULDN'T American companies rush to build manufacturing companies in Mexico. Think about it..with so many drug dealers and criminals crossing our border illegally, it means fewer drug dealers and criminals are remaining in Mexico, so it may be safer there than here now.

---
Online headline/story: "Black Lives Matter Protesters Interrupt DNC Moment of Silence for Fallen Police Officers *  Speaking at the Democratic National Convention, Dallas Texas Sheriff Lupe Valdez called for a moment of silence for fallen police officers. * “Please help me in honor of all the American fallen officers with a moment of silence,” she said. * “BLACK LIVES MATTER!” yelled a handful of delegates before Valdez introduced Jennifer Louden and Wayne Owens, family members of a fallen law officer." -- You know.. the presidency is about leadership.. obviously, Hillary cannot even lead her supporters.

---
Elijah Cummings said that Democrats were responsible for giving blacks the right to vote...Let's see:
Passage of the 15th Amendment (which granted the right to vote to black MEN) was passed in 1869 (ratified in 1870). 141 Republicans voted "YES". and Zero Republicans voted "NO".  On the other hand, ZERO Democrats  voted "YES",  39 voted "NO", and 7 wouldn't even cast a vote. BTW, Congressman Elijah Cummings, D-Maryland, was the ranking Democrat on the Committee that questioned FBI Director James Comey and found him truthful.

---
One of those Democrat spinmeisters talking with Greta flat out said that Trump is the only presidential candidate who hadn't released his taxes. What BS! At one time there was NO income tax, and there is no Constitutional requirement that any politician has to provide his/her tax forms.

---
Let's face it...would you rather have a president that our enemies weren't sure what he would do.. or when.. if they attacked,.or a president our enemies know won't defend a line she's drawn in the sand?

---
Do you remember how Slick Willie defined his relationship with Hillary, about marrying his best friend ..not the love of his life? Or saying:"after 40+ years of being around her " versus "after 40+ years of being married. Well..maybe he finally said something true.

--------------------------------------------------------
Online story: "The American Family Association has launched a petition against Hilton Worldwide over a hotel ad published in the June 2016 issue of Travel + Leisure. * The hotel chain's ad features two men, happily lying in a bed together. - Frankly, this just eliminated my ever staying in another Hilton owned property.. I can not put my bride and myself in a bed thinking about this ad. Hilton "brands" include: Waldorf-Astoria, Hilton (of course), Conrad, Canopy, Curio, Doubletree, Embassy Suites, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton, Tru, Homewood Suites,

  Oh, and could you imagine if this ad had two shirtless women in it?
------------------------------------------------------------------------

---
Online headline: "Man kills girlfriend's disabled son after pouring Vodka in his feeding tube * Authorities said a Vermont man was sentenced to just three years in prison after he admitted to killing a young boy because he was 'being fussy.' -- Hmmm.. Vermont... hey, isn't that where Bernie is from? I have to ask,, was the sentencing one of Bernie's "Free Stuff Package".. you know, say, "Free in Three"? Of course, if it happened in Hillary's America, the guy would have gone free altogether.. In Hillary terms, this would simply be a "Post-birth abortion".

---
Online story: "Jill Stein, the Green Party's candidate for president, is enjoying a boost in popularity on Reddit and Facebook as disillusioned fans of Bernie Sanders consider their options, now that Hillary Clinton is the Democrats' official nominee." -- How about that,, Bernie fans can vote for a woman not named Hillary.. wonder if mainscream media knows about her?

---
Online headline: "What would Bill be called if Hillary wins?" -- Hmmm.. well, my favorites are (_*_), douche bag, pedophile, stalker, liar, or "all of the above".

---
Another hysteric ... uh.. "historic" first happened at the DNC Convention... the first  (known) transgender speaker took the stage.. how appropriate a "gender makeover" to lead into Hillary's "agenda makeover".

---

From the "if you've got time on your hands" department - Online headline: "HERE IT IS=> Detailed List of Findings in Wikileaks DNC Document Dump" --

 

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/07/detailed-list-findings-wikileaks-dnc-document-dump/

 

----

You know.. when Mayor TomLYINGson campaigned for re-election in 2014.. she promised to build a "roundabout" at the intersections of River Road/Bradley Park Drive/Cascade Road/Green Island Drive . Regardless of how ill-conceived it was, she said construction would start in the summer of 2014.. following the election.. though many redraws have been made (none will work due to the vast elevation changes between River Road/Bradley Park, and River Road/Green Island Drive), but the work still hasn't started.. and another school year traffic mess is about to start. Oh, there are better .. and cheaper to construct.. solutions available but they aren't "grand" enough for the GA DOT.

In a Letter to the Editor feature of the L-E,   a  STEPHEN EARL WHITE,wrote: "Currently, I surmise that African American males are committing felonies, which gives the white man the opportunity to legally print and showcase them on the local news as criminals, reprobates and thugs." -- Obviously, "Mr. White" doesn't know that the L-E publisher is not white...

Last night, ZERO-bama said, ""Tonight, I ask you to do for Hillary Clinton what you did for me. I ask you to carry her the same way you carried me." -- "carry her the same way you  carried me"?  Good grief.. NOW he tells the truth! He was heavy enough, but Hilary is a an unbalanced to the left dumbbell!

---
If a duly elected president or vice president is supposed to be serving all the people of America, why are they allowed to single out one man for crucifixion during a political convention on National TV?

---
KAINT says you can go on Hillary.com and find her plan to create a path to citizenship for illegal aliens...you know, the illegal aliens that are causing the crimes and abusing our entitlement programs are not looking for American citizenship.

---
KAINT made what most analysts would  describe as an "unforced error". He said he knew a lot of Republican Senators that volunteered to him that they thought Hilllary was a good Senator. Good grief...less than a week of shadowing Hillary, he's already confirmed himself as another  lying lawyer.

---
A Latina commentator about blew Kaint out of the water saying Hillary picked some "white guy who can speak Spanish" but it's not going to "fly".

---
Could you believe that Bleep Veep Biden actually stood on the stage and gave a "shout out" to Chris Dodd of Connecticut? He called him a good friend...Good grief, along with Slick Willie, Dodd and Barney Frank brought down our economy, wiped out people's savings accounts, and destroyed our mortgage industry, and the housing market.

---
Online story: "Yesterday, a prominent Black Lives Matter activist threatened Trump supporters on Twitter. *  “Dear white people,” Tef Poe began, “if Trump wins young n*ggas such as myself are fully hell bent on inciting riots everywhere we go. Just so you know.” -- Black Americans needs to start another movement... "Black Americans' Future Matters".. Hey, Dr. Ben Carson.. America has a job for you!

---
Even if Russia was responsible for hacking into the DNC e-mails, mainscream media hasn't questioned Hillary about the horrible things that those e-mails said about people, races, or religions.

---
From the "how come" department - Online headline: "Protesters Burn Israeli Flag Outside Democratic Convention" -- You know, despite how bad as it is for any (_*_) to burn an American flag .. especially  in America, it is protected by our 1st Amendment. On the other hand, for some (_*_) to burn the flag of one of our allies.. especially when it is religiously oriented, is downright hate. Question: What is it with Democrats...The DNC was planning on attacking Bernie's Jewish heritage, and now this? Maybe the question should be is: How come the Jewish community has supported the Democratic Party so long?

---
Following up - there are 10 Jewish US Senators.. all are Democrats if you count Independent Bernie Sanders, and there are 19 Congresspersons who are Jewish, and 18 of those are Democrats, and the lone Jewish Republican Congressperson is from New York,. Why aren't these people joining the Republican Party?

---
Online headline: "Congressman calls Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria ‘termites’" -- "Congressman"?  Well, not just ANY Congressman.. It's Hank Johnson, D-GA4.. you remember Hank.. though its not his first gaffe, Hank Johnson was the Congressman who stated that he thought the island of Guam would "tip over" if we congregated all of military equipment into one location.. the Jewish members of Congress should ask for his resignation.. or removal...

---
Looks like Bernie may have cost Hillary hundreds of 1000s of votes...the DNC Convention coverage of Bernie's speech by the networks cut out Monday's "Bachelorette" and that doesn't sit well with the millennials.

---
That Baltimore prosecutor who wrongly tried to railroad 4 policemen,  subsequently has dropped the cases against the rest when the judge said she had no case.....well.. now she's trying to blame everyone but herself. I guess she learned that from ZERO-bama, Hillary and the DOJ/FBI.

---
Jesse Jackson took to the DNC Convention stage and pontificated that the shooting of young black men has to stop.. I agree..especially on the streets of Chicago, St Louis, and Baltimore. What also needs to stop is the crimes of young black men, and the lack of respect towards police officers when being apprehended.

---
Yesterday, Trump asked a very good question...Under the circumstances revealed by the FBI following the investigation into Hillary's e-mail scandal, why is Hillary getting briefings about what's going on in the world.

---
There were a lot of "smug" people online and among the politically active in Columbus Wednesday following the school board runoff elections. Most comments were about "showing Frank Myers". Well, now that this has sunk in, what do those same people think about stifling any hope for change that will actually help the students get a better education? When status quo sets in, and stagnation rules, what has really changed within the system that cries out desperately for change?

---
With her brother being City Manager, and her sister-in-law being a GA State Representative, you would think Pat Hugley Green would have more pull at getting things accomplished for the school system..obviously she doesn't know how to take advantage of natural gifts.

---
With the slight turnout of runoff voters , maybe its time to eliminate early voting except during General Election dates during presidential years.

---
In spite of the vicious campaign ads and the endorsement by Westmoreland,  Drew Ferguson basically only edged out Mike Crane in the Republican 3rd District Republican Primary runoff.  I guess Crane getting Cruz's endorsement a few days after Cruz destroyed himself at the RNC Convention is why Crane lost.

---
Online story: "President Reagan's attempted assassin will be a free man again after a federal judge signed off on John Hinckley Jr.'s release from a psychiatric hospital. * Hinckley was found not guilty by insanity for the the 1981 shooting that left Reagan with a chest injury. His press secretary, James Brady, was paralyzed ... a Secret Service agent, and a cop were also hit. * Hinckley has been in a psychiatric hospital since his trial. Wednesday morning Judge Paul Friedman said it was a difficult decision, but "The court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that Mr. Hinckley presents no danger to himself or to others in the reasonable future if released." *He must continue treatment and have no contact with the Reagan family or Jodie Foster ... with whom he was infatuated when he pulled the trigger." -- Hmm .. and though it's not in this story, he's also remanded to live with his mother.. Good grief..what's his mother.. 90/91 years old?  This is must be the plot of "Psycho - 2016.. the reality show sequel",

---
Online story: " President Barack Obama has chosen Chicago's Jackson Park as the site for his presidential library." -- Hmmm... naturally.. not in South Chicago.. you know, ZERO-bama could have at least built it in an area that needed transformation and enhanced security.. but I guess he's not that interested in actually helping with  black-on-black crime in Chicago..

---
From the "I guess democracy doesn't have a place in the Democratic Party" department: Online story: "Susan Sarandon and fellow Hollywood stars gathered outside the Democratic National Convention Wednesday in response to the DNC's alleged efforts to silence Bernie Sanders surrogate and former Ohio State Sen. Nina Turner. * Turner was reportedly dismissed from the convention during the first night after her refusal to endorse Hillary Clinton. She was scheduled to introduce the Vermont senator on Monday evening, but was allegedly blocked from doing so."  -- and let's not get into how the Democratic Party claims it is the party of women's rights..

 

---

L-E story: "Darr has overspent his budget every year since taking office in 2008, totaling about $10 million in overruns. Tomlinson says it’s a matter of poor management on Darr’s part. Darr says it’s a matter of the city chronically under-funding his office, making it impossible to carry out his legally mandated duties without breaking his budget." -- You know.. what we.. and I include Darr, need is a forensic audit of all the court and federal mandates hat Sheriff Darr is under pressure to keep.. Also, letting Mayor TomLYINGson exchange places with Darr for a few months would probably be enlightening to her. but her orchestrating a political assassination of Darr is just wrong.

 

---

L-E story: "A Phenix City woman has been charged with first-degree vehicular homicide in the July 11 wreck near J.R. Allen Parkway, according to Muscogee County Jail records. *  According to a police report, Kimber told authorities that 25-year-old Jermaine Markey Perry of Phenix City, the only passenger, was sitting in the back seat of her 2006 Honda Accord when they started arguing about a loan. He became upset and told her to shut up, she said. As she was driving down the ramp to the parkway, Perry allegedly shoved her head into the steering wheel. *  The vehicle veered off to the left side of the road and continued westbound before sliding down an embankment. It struck two trees on the driver’s side and then another tree head on." --  Good grief.. the DA's office plea bargains with drug offenders, then overcharges the driver in this case.. even in the worst of scenarios, what jury is going to side with the DA's claim that the driver planned.. intentionally.. to destroy her car at that time and location..

 

---

L-E headline: "How clean are Muscogee schools?" -- While this is not as important as how well our students fare in the classroom, it's interesting that the worst graded schools in Districts 1 & 7 did a lot better than any of the schools in their learning tests. Too bad the MCSB didn't get a "clean sweep" during the runoffs...

 

L-E headline: "Democratic fundraiser, Clinton friend Weiner dies" -- Oooops my bad.. first thought the L-E was just "slurring" a friend of Bill.. then I thought "Carlos Danger" Weiner mysteriously was no longer an issue for Hillary's campaign, then I thought Bill was going to follow Dole with a Viagra commercial.. but.. it was about Mark Weiner..a major Democratic fundraiser, Hillary Clinton supporter and provider of merchandise to the Democratic National Convention.

 

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

 

Another editing gaffe.. Democrats don't need to "get in formation".. they need to "get INFORMATION!"

 

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

From the mainscream media "we gotta help her" department -   Online headline: "Bill Clinton boldly challenges Hillary Clinton critics" -- "boldly"? how about "desperately"...

---
Online story: "Bill Clinton insisted that anyone who knew Hillary Clinton well "would say 'this woman has never been satisfied with the status quo in anything." -- "never been satisfied"? Hmmm.. including his faithfulness....of course, "never being satisfied" also indicates her lack of leadership skills and results..even Bill can't point any of these.... without lying.

---
Online headline/story: "Sanders supporters stage walkout after Clinton officially nominated * Indiana delegate Dianne Salazar talked with tears in her eyes about how Bernie Sanders' ran a campaign that was unlike any other that she has seen. *  "He ran a candidacy that was just above reproach in every way, and it saddens us greatly to see what happened today. We love him because he was the kind of person that walked the talk his entire life. Today our hearts are broken," Salazar said. * Hawaii delegate Petra Halperin, who also walked out, says she feels she was let down by Sanders when he endorsed Clinton for president." -- Well, well, well.. Bernie fulfilled the Democratic Party's legacy... he finally "sold out" for what was best for himself.

---
Yesterday, I wrote: "Hillary says all the charges brought up by the Republicans "have no basis of truth"... "truth"? What does Hillary know about "truth"! Today I'm wondering what she says about  the charges brought up on Democrats are the truth...

--
Have you noticed that mainscream media has not "connected" Schultz's dethronement from the DNC and new position with Hillary.. Schultz was Hillary's choice as Chair of the DNC, and Schultz being immediately hired by Hillary is to keep Schultz silent... but doesn't bring as much attention as the "blue tape" Bernie supporters have put across their mouths

---
You know, I actually understand people's comfort at voting for a "known" entity versus an "unknown"
one, but how can anyone be comfortable with Hillary? The truth is not, nor ever will be in her

---
Online headline: "Trump unveils plan to fix government program marred by scandals * The GOP nominee revealed a 10-step solution on Tuesday to a massive problem he called 'a permanent stain on our government.' -- "10-step solution"? Trump could get 90% accomplished in 1-step... arresting the all the Clintons.

---
The Democrats are trying to pawn off Trump talking about the International influx of terrorism as "fear mongering" . The only "fear mongering" is how Democrats warp the truth.

---
From the "out of the promotion playbook for hockey" department - Online headline/story: "Minor league teams continue to bless us with fantastic brawls * Last week we saw a guy run behind the plate during live play to throw down. Over the weekend, the Frisco RoughRiders and Corpus Christi Hooks had one of the better basebrawls you’ll see." -- Hmm..will it be soon that MLB teams will  add a spot on the roster for an "enforcer"?

---
Online headline: "Do you know what Whoopi Goldberg's real name is? -- No.. and I'm not going to read  the article.

---
HuffPOOPOO story: "A recent study by researchers at the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation, published Monday in the journal Injury Prevention.  * Scientist Ted Miller concluded that minorities are no more likely than white people to be injured or killed during a stop or arrest. He used data that included stats from hospital emergency departments, a nationally representative survey of people’s experience with the police and newspaper databases of deaths linked to police intervention." -- Hmmm.. once Black Lives Matter sees this Liberal Lives Won't Matter.. shades of Salman Rushdie and his "Satanic Verses".

---
Online headline: "Kremlin says idea it hacked Democratic Party emails absurd" -- Hmmm.. you know what's really sad about this.... Putin has a better track record in speaking the truth than anyone in the Democratic Party.

---
HuffPOOPOO headline/story: "No Surprise That Radical Jihadists Killed a Priest in France * Terrorists inspired by the Islamic State, al-Qaeda and other radical groups in the Middle East have a long history of killing Christians. In Iraq and Syria, home territory for ISIS and other such groups, priests have been targeted for years. Killing a Christian religious leader warns all members of the community that they are not safe" -- Good grief.. it almost happened.. the HuffPOOPOO actually mentioned the possibility this was ISLAMIC terrorism!

---
Hillary is desperate.... technically, she's not the first woman to be on a  presidential ballot..even from the Democrats..Geraldine Ferraro was a VP choice in 1984, and with the designated order of succession, she was only a heartbeat away.

---
Oh, and Hillary WON'T be the ONLY woman on the ballot.. Jill Stein of the Green Party is running... again, and a woman was on the presidential ballot as far back as 1872.

---
You know what's ironic about Hillary claiming to be the first female presidential candidate.. all the other women actually wore dresses.

----
Speaking of woman leaders world wide, Hillary would be the only one who wears pants suits.. well, I guess we won't know this for sure until we get a DNA test back on North Korea's Kim Jong Il.

---
The Democratic Party were caught with its pants down by WikiLeaks, but rather than own up to the dastardness of their actions, they have simply tried to blame Trump's relationship with Russia. Even mainscream media hasn't parsed the DNC excuse. Journalism has lowered its value in recording history to a new low.

---
Mike Pence brought up an interesting point..61 Dem speakers took the stage Monday, and not one mentioned ISIS.

---
Do "Black Lives Matter", Al Sharlaton, Jesse Jackson, and the New Black Panthers don't want to remember that it was Slick Willie who promised to put "100,000" more police officers on the streets.

---
Comparing the receptions of Hillary and Trump at the VFW Convention this week in North Carolina, vven a blind Democrat knows that the VFW wants Trump rather than Hillary..

---
It's no wonder that Democrats want to reduce the ranks of the military.. the Clintons do not want paid federal employees who vote for Republicans.

---
You know, the minimum wage at $7.25 when ZERO-bama took office would still be a decent entry wage for first and/or teen jobs if...if ZERO-bama had not devalued the dollar by printing more indiscriminately and nearly doubling the National Debt.

L-E headline: "MUSCOGEE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD * Establishment repels newcomer challenges" -- What a message this sends to our children.. and the outside business world companies looking at communities to relocate or expand their businesses.
 

---

L-E headline/story: "Muscogee County improves passing rate on more than two-thirds of state tests  * MCSD’s passing rate on the 2016 Georgia Milestones Assessment System compared to 2015 is higher on 22 of the 31 tests — one less than the state’s average — according to results the Georgia Department of Education released Tuesday. The district’s passing rate dropped on six of the tests and remained the same on the other three." -- Good grief - talk about trying to make silk purses out of sows' ears! "elebrating being just under "average" is not a celebrating mater.. the truth is that MCSD performance LOWERS the "average" to begin with and we're still below that. Oh, and you do know what "average" is, don't you.. depending on whether you're a "glass half full" analogist, "average" means you're either the worst of the best,, or the best of the worst.  "Average" is not something to brag about... especially when "average" is way below acceptable.

Together 2016's ad in today's L-E talks about "Columbus' Biggest Opportunity" ,. Scott Hill, president and CEO of Columbus Regional Health responded: "Our greatest opportunity is to continue improving... there are people who care and want to drive our community forward" Hmmm... it seems to me that Columbus took 2-steps back yesterday when not enough community "leaders" stepped forward and improved the MCSD by improving the MCSB membership.

 

---

LIV's L-E "soundoff": "If a police officer illegally shoots someone, he or she should be charged with the appropriate crime — some degree of murder or assault. That almost always happens, so relax." -- I agree,, if a police officer illegally shoots someone, the a police officer should be held accountable.. on the other hand, if a police officer shoots someone doing the job of protecting the community, what's "illegal" about that? The people wjo need most to be held accountable are the criminals.. especially repeat felons who are not interested in following police orders to "stop - cease - desist - drop your gun".

Together 2016's ad in today's L-E talks about "Columbus' Biggest Opportuniy" ,. Scott Hill, president and CEO of Columbus Regional Health responded: "Our greatest opportunity is to continue improving... there are people who care and want to drive our community forward" Hmmm... it seems to me that Columbus took 2-steps back yesterday when not enough community "leaders" stepped forward and improved the MCSD by improving the MCSB membership.

As the Democratic Convention begins to coronate Hillary amidst her shroud of scandals, the words of my late cousin, Dr. Fred Gordy of Conway, Arkansas remain steadfastly on my mind. Fred was a player in our mutual Cuzzin Jimmy's presidential campaigns, as well as the politics of the Clintons. Immediate following the 1992 Democrat Convention, Cousin Fred called my Dad to tell him that he'd "sent a check to the Re-elect Bush Campaign" because he "couldn't wish the Clintons on the rest of America". His words are still hauntingly appropriate.

---
There was an unexpected tragic moment at the Democratic Convention last night. Paul Simon took the stage and demonstrated the loss of his voice.... and mind.

---
Cory Booker reminded the Democrats that blacks were once classified as 3/5ths of a person. What he didn't say was that it was the New England states that demanded that so the South wouldn't get more representation in Congress.

---
Hmmm..last week mainscream media was chastising Republicans for being juvenile when chanting "lock her up". Hmmm, what will the liberals call their own delegates and protesters in Philadelphia who were chanting "lock her up" yesterday?

---
At first I wasn't sure if Al Franken was drunk or what, but as he slurred his way through his babble it became more of a situation about HOW drunk he was, but what was with his position about parents leaving their 8 & 4 year children at home to feed themselves while the parents go out on the streets and campaign based on Hillary's family values?

---
A lot of the Democrat drivel aimed at Trump was about where his clothing lines were made. Seems like most are made overseas..mainly because he's a smart businessman, and did so because of the Democratic Party initiated taxes and regulations that has stifled manufacturing profitability in America. Trump also wants to overturn those taxes and regulation so it can be profitable ..again.. to manufacture and create jobs here.

---
Sen. Pat Spearman, D-Nev, self professed liberal, lesbian and African-American, drew attention to an old Negro spiritual song.. I'm still trying to remember the last time I heard "Negro" referenced, and the last time I could say "Negro" without bring called a racist.

---
I thought the Democrats were about diversity, but it seems there was a shortage of heterosexuals in the building.

---
It's really sort of appropriate that the Democrat Convention is held in Philadelphia...during the 2012 election ..59 voting districts didn't report a single vote for Romney.

---
One Hillary spinmeister (Sen. Chris Murphy - D-CT) is trying to suggest that the Russians are trying to influence our election...at best, if there was any truth about a foreign government trying to influence an election, it would be the communist and Muslim countries that have "donated" to the Clinton Foundations.

---
Don't you know that even moderate Democrats are concerned that nearly half of the Democratic primary voters, the Bernie ones,  are so far to the left of them, and Hillary is pandering to them?

---
You know.. Bernie's appeal to young voters is, in reality, a condemnation of the Common CRAP curriculum.. Kids leaving high school and college are no longer taught that socialism and communism are failures doomed to implode.

---
I don't think Hillary had a pleasant time at her VFW in NC speech yesterday morning. When she stopped at her "applause points" barely a smattering of applause happened..in fact, with the size of the staff she had with her , apparently a lot of her staff didn't clap either.

---
Let's see.. Hillary didn't know anything about her personal e-mail server, she didn't know anything about the DNC e-mails, she said she doesn't know anything about the Republican Convention..she also claimed she didn't know anything about Whitewater, or Bill's womanizing...my question is why she thinks anyone should vote for someone who doesn't even know what she did yesterday.

---
Clinton said she would make sure she didn't, as Commander-in-Chief, send in our troops carelessly.. Hmm.. maybe that explains why she didn't have troops sent into Benghazi.

---
You know, Bernie ignored the foregone conclusion that this was automatically  Hillary's "year" and ran against her because he felt she was not capable.. Why does he now feel she is capable when he knows she had to manipulate the primaries to get the nomination?

---
Hillary, you would think, would be campaigning on continuing what ZERO-bama started,  and she doesn't, , she campaigns on  the changes she wants to initiate. Isn't that "dissing" ZERO-bama?

---
Neither Bernie nor his supporters don't get it...Hillary didn't hire Debbie "Washedout" Schultz to help her campaign, Hillary hired her to keep her silence.

---

You know, the Democratic Party "super-delegates" are really on trial in Philadelphia.. will they "stay their manipulated path" and vote for Hillary, or will hey stand up and be counted for truth and honesty in politics?  Ooops, got carried away there for a second..truth and honesty have been forsaken in Democratic Partyy politics for generations.
---
Robby Mook, Hillary's campaign manager, held a press conference yesterday..obviously orchestrated to avoid answering media questions..there wasn't a microphone to pick up of the questions, so we didn't really hear them, but we did see him chuckle and smirk at the end of each question, then give a statement of his own choosing. What we don't know is whether his responses were even pertinent to the questions,.but what was clear is that Hillary is scrambling in damage control mode.

---
Hillary says all the charges brought up by te Republicans "have no basis of truth"... "truth"? What does Hillary know about "truth"!

---
From the ,"what were they thinking" department - There was a major shooting atrocity at a Ft Myers, FL  club Sunday...it was advertised as a Teen Glow Swinsuit party for 13 to 17 year olds. It's not a question of what the club owner(s) were thinking, but what were the parents thinking allowing their children to go! This was a club that served alcohol and staged bikini/lingerie "contests". Surely it is against the law to solicit minors into an adult club for such purposes.. One was even 12 YEARS OLD!

Personal note: Authorities were quick to note that this was not a "terrorist" act.. Excuse me, but since when is not a gang related shooting not a "terrorist act" in a black neighborhood?

---
Online headline: "Michelle Obama skewers Trump in fiery DNC speech" -- So First Lady like.... NOT! Can you imagine Laura or Barbara Bush "skewering" an opponent?

---

L-E headline: " Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake swings the gavel during the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia on Monday." -- Good grief.. does that mean that she's ordering the police outside to give "protesters"  space to destroy?

---

L-E headline/story: "Georgia appeals court says ‘upskirting’ not against the law * A divided Georgia Court of Appeals this month tossed out the conviction of former grocery store employee Brandon Lee Gary, who recorded videos up a woman’s skirt — known as “upskirting” — while she shopped. The 6-3 majority opinion said Gary’s behavior, while reprehensible, doesn’t violate the state’s invasion of privacy law, under which he was prosecuted." -- Let me get this straight.. it's illeagl to record one's conversation if the other party has not consented, but the court feels it's "OK" to record another persons genitalia without his/her consent? Maybe those 6 judges need to have a "Go-Pro camera sewn into their judicial robes.

Online headline: "Hillary Clinton formally reveals her running mate" -- Well.. ..  we already know about her choice in picking a man for her personal mate.... unfortunately.. .. for her...

---
Online headline: "Fourteen bodies found after 'execution' in Benghazi, Libya" -- Good grief.. how can any story about he ongoing violence in Benghazi not mention the killing of Ambassador Stevens and 3 other Americans? Does Reuters believe that no one remembers Hillary's debacle during that Benghazi atrocity?

http://www.aol.com/article/2016/07/22/fourteen-bodies-found-after-execution-in-benghazi-libya/21437423/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl5%7Csec3_lnk3%26pLid%3D252123715_htmlws-sb-bb

---
You know.. mainscream media wants "to eat it's cake and have it too".  Mainscream media are trying to convince people that different groups are not going to vote for Trump based on what he says, yet they don't seem to care about anything Hilary says as being the truth. To what depths are mainscream willing to sell their soul?

---
Online headline: Ex-KKK leader David Duke signs up to run for US Senate seat" -- Good grief.. the RNC/GOP establishment and the likes of the Bush family, Romney, Graham and McCain had a problem with Trump, but will allow this?

---
With Hillary bringing moms & widows of people killed while resisting arrest or assaulting police officers to pander more police hatred on the stage in Philadelphia, but then not including moms, wives, siblings or children of ambushed police officers, who could blame the Phillie police officers for developing a severe case of "blue flu" when she's in town? But they won't....they are professional.

 

---

Now on a local issue - L-E headline: "Hundreds question police encounters at forum on race relations and policing"

 

From story: "More than half of those attending a forum on Race Relations and Policing at the River-Center for the Performing Arts stood tall Friday when asked about unfair treatment from police. * " -- Well, other than most of the "standees" were ideologically "recruited" to "be there". who has ever been stopped by a police officer in his sworn duty, and felt it was a warm cozy tete-a-tete. I know I haven't felt "loved" the two times I've been stopped in my life.. On the other hand, when I've had to call for Police help in other situations, I've always been satisfied ... and comforted by their professionalism. The Mayor did hit the nail on the head when she responded, "“Asking people to stand up if they were treated unfairly is an unfair indictment without being able to look at specific circumstances of that individual,”.

 

Personal comment: I really don't know why retired Chief Superior Court Judge John Allen allowed himself to be suckered into being the "foil" for the NAACP...

 

---
From the "a little too late and not enough" department: Good grief..Trump scared the hell out of ZERO-bama, Hillary and Mexico Thursday night! Friday morning, that socialist trio  all of a sudden decided to look at NAFTA to tweak it a bit..unfortunately, "a bit" doesn't cut it.

---
You know, what is the NBA's "point" at making bathrooms an issue? Does the NBA plan on pulling the Charlotte franchise out of North Carolina? Has the NBA polled the players to see if they want to use the women's facilities? Political Correctness has reached it's implosion point.

---
You know..a lot of Democrats, especially Bernie supporters, are going to have to weigh their options and confidence in November. .. do they trust a candidate that speaks directly..and honestly..to them, or... Hillary?

---
Hmmm...with Ailes out at Fox, maybe the women hired will picked by their credentials and Constitutional positions....instead.

---
I want to apologize...I met Mike Crane prior to the May Primary Election, and even though I voted in the Democratic Primary because of important local races, I recommended Crane against the entire Republican field. He got the most votes, but not enough to avoid a runoff.. Until yesterday, I could still recommend Crane, in spite of the out-of-context "hit ads" being run by his opponent, but since Crane brought in Cruz..I withdraw any support I previously gave.

---
Heard a law firm ad recently that said if it didn't take your cased, it would refer you to another lawyer. Good grief, how crappy is that..one lawyer saying I don't think you have a case, but I'm sending you to another lawyer for him to waste his and your time? Oh, the next time I see it, I'll report the name/number/address so you legitimate lawyers can wreak a little payback whenever people come in with  meritless cases, y'all can send them to "him" saying "he" specializes in that kind of case.

---
The Cleveland Police were expecting 30,000 protesters this week..instead, 30,000 Bikers for Trump came and supported the police...so much for 30,000 Hillary inspired/paidprotesters showing up.

---
Also. it looks like the expected 30,000 Bernie followers may be underestimated.. WikiLeaks just dumped DNC e-mails yesterday showing the conspiratal  correspondence about derailing Bernie's attempt to beat Hillary. In the future, the DNC chairwoman will be known as Debbie "Whitewasher" Schultz

---

Donald J. Trump said, "I am your voice"..... he speaks for America's future.. and now, you and I .. WE... will be heard... WE will be respected! Now, if we can only get our Congresspersons "on board".
---
Well..the Republican Convention is over...Trump rules..nothing free was promised except.. except the opportunity to succeed. And opportunity without the government oppression  is all anyone needs.

---
I really believe Fox News needs to revise it's programming choices..what should be news reporting has become an event of egotistical personalities. It's really a shame at how they have put themselves ahead of the news at the Republican Convention.

---
Cruz and his spinmeisters are trying to convince his abdication of his promise "to support the Republican nominee even if it  becomes Trump" was justified because Trump insulted his family members. That's not going to fly. Serving your country, whether in politics or military, means you accept your responsibility, and honor your oath and pledges, even before defending your family. Serving your country means making decisions that put other things ahead of your personal life. On my Kirven family crest are these words, "I love my God, my King, and my Country". If I keep my oath, then I am serving my family.

---
Online story:  "The United States Department of Justice is issuing a warning to all law enforcement officials that gangs across the country are putting together efforts to attack authorities. * A gang leader in Chicago recently called for the murder of a federal agent. He believed targeting the agent would garner more attention than killing a local officer." --  NOW the DOJ is worried.. sorta hits home.. Well, there's a reason National Park Rangers put up "Don't Feed the Bears" signs.. When people make it easy for bears to survive, the bears demand more. When the DOJ empathizes with criminals, criminals demand more!

---
There's a "poll" out listing the "most guns per person" per state (and Washington, D.C.). I\To say the least, it's seriously "flawed". It only includes "registered guns"..

---
Did you see it? At the Republican Convention....10,000 people..excited..relaxed..purposeful. There weren't any people wringing their hands feeling hopeless like mainscream media wants people to believe. 10,000 people knowing they are a part of history in the making.. I'm glad I watched...oh, I usually watch anyway, but this year is special...hurry November!

---
From the "tell it like it really is" department: Wow, did Charles Krauthammer put the final nail in Ted Cruz's coffin! "Cruz's Speech 'Was the Longest Suicide Note in US Political History".

---
On the local front: We have an important election this Tuesday...the runoffs for Districts 1 & 7 of the MCSB. There are two fresh and committed women motivated by a single cause, "Every Child Matters". There's one more early vote opportunity...if you haven't yet voted, you can do it today or Tuesday. Vote for Shelia Williams in District 7 and JoAnn Thomas-Brown in District 1...

---
From the "time really does fly when you're having fun" department: Wow.. after a week of vacationing, I made my first venture on the Whittlesey Road project.. It sure was nice to have all those west-east lanes open once you get past the I-85 Overpass.

---

While there are things ZERO-bama can do that Ivanka Trump can't, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump do something ZERO-bama.. either will not or cannot do., When speechifying behind his TelePrompters,  ZERO-bama flips his face back and forth between them.. When Ivanka or Donald Trump spoke from them last night, both would stop and look straight at the camera to talk with us.. I guess it's easier to look America in the eyes when you're speaking the truth.

L-E headline/story: "NBA moving All-Star Game from Charlotte, cites LGBT law *  The NBA is moving the 2017 All-Star Game out of Charlotte because of its objections to a North Carolina law that limits anti-discrimination protections for lesbian, gay and trans-gender people. *  “While we recognize that the NBA cannot choose the law in every city, state, and country in which we do business, we do not believe we can successfully host our All-Star festivities in Charlotte in the climate created by HB2,” the league said in a statement. *  The league added that it hoped to announce a new location for next February’s events shortly. It hopes to reschedule the 2019 game for Charlotte if there is a resolution to the matter." -- Good grief.. I can tell you right now that any NBA city that takes the 2017 game will see a ban on me and my family about visiting/vacating there in the future.. Oh, and Charlotte.. tell the NBA to "go to hell" if they think you will collapse by 2019.

 

---

Now it can be said.. Hey, Fox News... what Ailes ya?

Online headline: "Protesters arrested after flag-burning protest at Republican Convention"-  You know.. These are people who do not want America to be great.. these are not just Democratic Party supporters, these are parasites.. this is the message.. the real message Hillary approves.

---
You know. if Hillary was concerned about the lives of our police officers, she would stand up and denounce the actions of her supporters. Not doing so demonstrates her lack of leadership skills to unify our country.. Fact is, these people do not support Hillary, they only support the promises (lies) she makes to buy their vote.

---
What is this gloom & doom mentality of some Republicans moping around wringing their hands worried about some RINOs not wanting to vote for Trump.. let me tell you, there are a lot more Democrats wringing their hands about having to vote for Hillary.

---
I'm amused at how the political analysts are discussing what Trump must do to win. What I see is that Trump KNOWS HOW to win, and these analysts need to be listening to him, not vice versa .

---
BTW.. Governor Mike Pence.. a good man.. a good choice!

---
Make America One! Yes..it's time America "Won" Again!

---
I love competition.. and that means I've won and I've lost innumerable games in my life. When I coached my Little League teams.. my message was the one that my Dad instilled in me.. "give it your best shot.. if someone beats you on a day you've played the best you can, that's just the way it is. Give that team it's moment.. your job becomes to get ready for the rematch. You know what the other team did and can assume it will do the same thing next time because it was successful..your job now is to figure out a better plan to win.  Going to the corner and pouting will not do this."

---
Ted Cruz had an opportunity last night.. and he blew it...just being anti-Hillary wasn't enough..having the opportunity to stand at the "free throw line" after the buzzer sounded and get to make a game winning shot is not about the individual, it's about the team, and Cruz threw up an "airball".

---
Cruz did say one thing that "matters".. "Freedom Matters"!  I'm going to add, "America's Future Matters".. Vote Trump!

---
Online story: "A U.S. appeals court on Wednesday ruled that a Texas law requiring voters to show a government-issued form of photo identification before casting a ballot is discriminatory and violates the U.S. Voting Rights Act." -- Then the U.S. Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional! Voting is a privilege given to law abiding US citizens at the age of maturity

Seriously, how can any judge be against photo IDs for voters?

---
Will liberals ever stop grasping at straws? Now there's claim that Donald Trump, Jr's speech plagiarized an article written by F. H. Buckley.. Turns out that Buckley helped write Trump 2's speech.. How does one plagiarize one's own work?

---
What is it about installing tougher consequences to criminal sentencing do liberals not understand ?  Sentences for violent crimes should not be a "time out", nor revolving doors at jails be connected back to court appointed/taxpayer paid lawyers.

---
From the "latest from Hillary" department: E-mail -- Friend, I haven't been watching the Republican convention. The personal attacks and insults, the dangerous policy proposals, and the blatant irresponsibility of nominating Donald Trump -- I'm just not interested." -- Hmmm well she lying.. AGAIN.. how does she know what's going on if she's not watching/interested?

---

L-E headline/story: "Defense says suspect fired out of fear and passion * Prosecutors thought they’d shown the jury all it needed to see in the murder case against Chandler Saxton, whom security cameras recorded gunning down John Shelby Jones outside a Columbus Big Cat gas station on July 31, 2014. * Saxton follows Jones out, then stands for 25 seconds at the door before walking over to the gas pumps, where he confronts Jones, soon pulling a .40-caliber pistol and firing four shots. One hits Jones in the left chest, another in his buttocks, abdomen and right leg. *  Saxton runs away before Jones, pulls his own .40-caliber handgun and fires wildly, sliding into a sitting position at the rear of a friend’s car, blood soaking his clothes as he finally topples over. * King argued that Saxton knew Jones had a gun, and shot first because he felt threatened. “He shot out of fear.” If jurors agreed that Saxton acted out of passion and fear, they could convict him of a lesser offense, she said. “If you must convict my client of something, I ask that it be voluntary manslaughter.” -- Good grief, if the jury doesn't convict this man (for lack of a printable word that is a better description), then "Black Lives DON"T Matter"

A shout out to one of our own.. BCer, Randy Robertson,, retired from our Sheriff' Department has been elected President of the GA State FOP.

L-E headline: "Melania Trump’s speechwriter says she lifted remarks" -- 7% of the speech had similarities, but, then again, 100% of mother's/wives want the things Melania said .. and even Michelle's words were similar to prior First Ladies' statements.. What Melania didn't say was that this "was the first time she's been proud of America".. and when you get down to it, what Michelle Obama says she was proud of is not the America most of us want.

From the "whiney mainscream media bias" department - AOL/HuffPOOPOO headline: "Crowd chants as Christie scathingly rips Clinton at RNC" -- "scathingly"? Chris "the Doctor" Christie surgically gave Hillary and the ZERO-bama Justice Department puppets "new ones".

---
Chris "the Great Bambino of 2016" Christie knocked it out of the arena with a single swing at Hillary when he connected with the pitch that "Lets face it: Hillary Clinton cared more about protecting her own secrets than she did about protecting America's secrets".

---
Online story: ""Democracy is a series of choices. We Republicans have made ours," Paul Ryan said. "Have we had our arguments this year? Sure we have –- and you know what I call those? Signs of life. Signs of a party that's not just going through the motions. Not just mouthing new words for the same old stuff." -- Well..wasn't Paul Ryan on the mark last night? This was the Paul Ryan we knew..we knew until the GOP establishment segment duct taped his mouth shut in 2012. Welcome back Paul Ryan!

---
Looks like Marco Rubio is on board.. Rubio now understands why the Trump movement has connected with the voters, and will be speaking up for Trump tonight.

---
And how about the women who have spoken up for Trump..anyone of them.. all of them.. are better candidates than Hillary, and they are "all in" for Trump...

---
One of the Fox announcers said we would have to wait until next week to see how Hillary handles the Democrats' "anti-police" stance.. She said Hillary must sound sincere and honest...HONEST? Who is going to believe Hillary...from either party or any network?

---
From the "isn't that special" department - Online story: "Housing Secretary and potential Democratic vice-presidential prospect Julian Castro violated federal law when he touted Hillary Clinton's candidacy in a media interview earlier this year, according to a federal watchdog report released Monday.  * The seven-page report by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel concluded Castro violated the Hatch Act, which bars most Executive Branch officials from expressing their political views while on official business." -- Looks like a "match made in He......LL"

----
How can any news reporter/anchor say the assaults on our police are NOT political? It's politics that have curtailed tough sentences, excessive death penalty appeals, and encouraged early release programs and let plea bargains cover up the seriousness of drug crimes. Hey, Fox News, it's not "fair and balanced" when you give idiots a microphone!

---
Make America Great ...and Safe...and Respected.. and Work.. Again...vote Trump!

---
Found a safe place to eat yesterday..Momma Goldbergs on Manchester Expressway. Took my wife and youngest daughter there and wore my Trump "Make America Great Again" hat, and right behind us was a Russell County, AL deputy sheriff, and we both got served.!

---
The RNC should have let Trump prepare the parks and grounds at and about the Cleveland Convention Center..Trump's maintenance crews would have had that area manicured like one of his golf courses.

---
I know why the Bushes, Romney, Graham, Kasich, Flake et al aren't showing up at the RNC Convention.. It's a convention of REPUBLICANS, and if they show up, they will look fish out of water.

---
HuffPOOPOO "headLIE": " John Kasich: Not Supporting Trump Is 'A Matter Of Conscience For Me' -- Yeah right... no one in their right mind believes Kasich is actually a Republican...

---
Online headline: "Megyn Kelly challenges Malik Sh(_*_)b(_*_)zz , former Black Panther leader" -- Good grief.. why would Kelly bring someone like Sh(_*_)b(_*_)zz , and give him any airtime, much less during the RNC Convention?

---
For the second night in a row, I listened to Megyn Kelly's segment at the Convention for about 5 minutes and switched to C-SPAN. I wanted to listen to the scheduled speakers, not Kelly and her minions.

---
As much of an issue that's been made about the sorry condition of City trucks, it was much to my chagrin to have a City dump truck driving within half a car length of me going downhill on River Road... ..TWICE... in one trip. I turned right out of Mountainbrook heading south on River Road yesterday a shade after noon, and a white dump truck suddenly was on my tail. All I could see were the grill/bumper and headlights in my mirror. He stayed pretty much glued there until I could move to the right lane just past the traffic signal at Bradley Park Dr. The truck then sat on another cars tail until th Piggly Wiggly area of River Road, and then switched back to the lane I was in, and followed me all the way to Veterans at about half a car length. I was so glad that the traffic light there was green also, so I didn't have to come to a stop because I wasn't sure the driver would.. or could stop as well. After attaining my lane heading south on Veterans, said truck did pass me on the left at a higher than permitted speed (I was doing the limit).

From the "can you remember when" department: Remember when nice ashtrays were a common and welcomed gift?

You know,, when the MCSD says it out sources custodial work to private American based companies to save money, then it just shows how inefficiently ... ineptly... it handles jobs and revenues.. It also indicates.. no.. announces quite loudly, that the pay scales need to be reviewed top to bottom.

 

---

OK.. who's a member of the "I remember sitting up and watching Neil Armstrong step onto the moon's surface club 47 years ago today"... like me?

 

---

If you have wondered why Hillary or ZERO-bama, or Black Lives Matter aren't concerned over the escalating street deaths in Chicago , it's because they already know that the victims will vote for Hillary... FOR SURE... in November.

The mayor of Nice called Monday for France to step up its fight against extremism, saying the attack on his city shows that radical ideas are still entering the country too easily.

 

---

The fact that 7% of Melania Trump's speech was similar to Michelle Obama's (not to mention Laura Bush's et al, too) means that Michelle Obama has a 7% grasp on what American wives and mothers want for America and their families. What this comparison basically showed was that Michelle Obama was 93% off base with women's and America's needs and wants.

L-E headline: "Man fined $250 for firing 9 shots at apartment complex" -- Good grief.. those 9 shots had to land somewhere.. sounds like a mass attempt at indiscriminate murder! And was the shooter legally in possession of that gun... and legally eligible to have one? These are questions that deserve an answer.

From the "sequel to the Phenix City Story" department -- Online headline/story: "Taco Bell worker refuses to serve 2 uniformed deputies, loses job * On Saturday night, two uniformed sheriff's deputies attempted to place an order at a Taco Bell in Phenix City, Alabama but were denied service, reports the New York Daily News. * the duo initially thought the cashier was kidding. * The worker told them she was not and then asked them to leave. * Taco Bell has since investigated the situation and terminated the employee responsible, notes the Washington Post." -- Wow..  Liberalville must really be worried about the stockpile of Hillary stories it's trying to divert attention  from.. Both the New York Daily News and the Washington Post ran with this.

Blog Note: Phenix City, AL is Columbus, GA's  across the river sister city..

---
Online headline: "Trump campaign calls Kasich convention absence 'embarrassing'" -- Yeah.. embarrassing for Ohio and the RINO wing of the GOP.. Do not forget, Kasich could not get 50% of the Ohio Republican vote in the Ohio GOP Primary..

---
You know.. when Wall Street businesses offer Bill and Hillary obscene amounts of money for an innocuous speech, the Wall Street business were not paying for the Clintons' "words", they were buying the Clintons' ears.

---
From the "things I run across looking for other things " department: "Millennials" the "sequel" to "Babyboomers" and "Gen Xers" are not buying cars (buyers between ages 21-34 down 30% since 1985) nor houses (homeownership rate among adults younger than 35 fell by 12 percent between 2006 and 2011, and 2 million more were living with Mom and Dad.)  nearly as much as in the past. Hey, Columbus Mayor TomLYINGson... here's your answer to the housing market sluggishness, and raising taxes (the liberals first solution) will dampen the housing market even further, and removing the "freeze" will cost Columbus greatly in property tax revenues because current homeowners will be flooding the tax assessors offices with challenges to assessments.

From the "headline proof editor musta been asleep at the switch" department - HuffPOOPOO headline: "The Serious Reason Everyone Should Freeze Their Nuts" -- "everyone"?

This week, mainscream media will excoriate Trump, and next week, mainscream media will pedestalize Hillary..The irony is that mainscream media doesn't even like Hillary as a person but drool at a 3rd ZERO-bama term. You know..why does mainscream media feel Hillary will be the 3rd ZERO-bama term since it's only her word she'll continue that route?

---
I'm curious...it's the Republican Convention...why is Fox News using liberals as commentators? You know, if Fox doesn't cover the Democratic Party Convention, will anyone know what Hillary says?

---
After his rather stupid response to former LA Governor Jindal's comments, why did Fox let Shep-hood Smith handle the updates on the Baton Rouge police massacre?

---
The Hillary spinmeisters are trying to paint Hillary as strong on law & order... huh? Do they think Benghazi has been forgotten just because mainscream media has moved on?

---
The "Trump Protesters"...have you noticed even mainscream media won't call them Hillary supporters, or who's paying them.

---
You know, the Baton Rouge ambush of their police force reminds me of what we experienced in Columbus in the early 70s. Fires were intentionally set and the CFD was called amidst thoughts of such ambushes being possible.

---
Rubio is stupid for not going to the Republican Convention...since he's back in the Senate election in Florida following his butt-whipping by Trump in the presidential primary, Rubio should be trying to show his support of Trump to show FL voters he is worthy of being re-elected.

---
Hey, Cleveland...instead of trying to undermine our Constitution's 1st and 2nd Amendments, just enforce the current laws..if someone is on the street with a gun, run an instant background check, and arrest them.if they are felons in possession of a gun.

---
"Make America Safe Again....vote Trump!" -- I like it!

---
Remember when ZERO-bama said ISIS was contained? Then how come ISIS is not contained in its caliphate.. or for that matter, in the mid-east?

---
It took Hillary .. what.. about 7 hours to make a comment about the ambush deaths of the 3 Baton Rouge police officers.. Guess it took that long for her to contact Jesse, Al, Charlie, the NAACP, BLM, and Nation of Islam to remind them she'd be lying when she spoke about being concerned about what happened.

---
L-E headline: "Black clergy: Frank Myers trying to oust superintendent * Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance alleges Myers’ support of newcomers in runoffs is an effort to get rid of David Lewis IMA president says he has evidence but refuses to divulge it Black leader of parents association defends Myers, castigates IMA" -- You know.. why is it that black ministers can "get away with" pulpit politicism that ZERO-bama threatened other churches with loss of tax exemptions if the pastors preached politics?  And how come the IMA is so concerned about this School Board runoff election.. is it because Pat Hugley Green is Isaiah Hugley's sister and the IMA doesn't want to get on his bad side, or is it because Cathy Williams is the wife of a Ledger-Enquirer reporter and wants favorable stories about how the IMA operates?

---
From above stories: "(Outgoing MCSB member) Senior added, “We don’t need a board member to come in and try to tell the superintendent what to do with our students in our schools.” -- Wait a minute.. that's exactly what we need.. the MCSB SHOULD be outlining what the community needs.. wants.. then watch to make sure the Superintendent is striving to meet those goals!

---
From the above stories: "In a news release, the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance of Columbus alleged Myers “is trying to elect candidates who will help him get rid of the Superintendent.” The news release didn’t offer any evidence of that assertion. The Ledger-Enquirer asked the Rev. Ralph Huling, the IMA president, to provide such evidence. * “I have evidence, but I’m not willing to share that right now,” Huling said. Asked why, he said, “That’s my prerogative.” -- "prerogative"? No,, it's  "fabrication of facts" if you don't have a leg to stand on. Also, Shelia Williams deserves to represent District 7...she's her own person, and the L-E and IMA  should be apologizing for what they say and imply about her as a candidate.

---
L-E headline: "Columbus mayor, NAACP president to lead forum on race" -- Good grief.. a debate between the Far Left and the Further Left.. that's really opening the doors to a meaningful discussion... NOT!

---
You know.. Melania Trump is being "chastised" because of similarities in her and Michelle Obama's convention speeches.. Huh... aren't they both wives and mothers and want similar things to be prevalent  in both their lives?

---
L-E headline: "Obama presents Vietnam War veteran with Medal of Honor" -- Good grief.. is ZERO-bama so desperate for positive headlines that he is using a war that liberals protested against and excoriated and spit on the veterans when it ended?

---
Wow.. it looks like a new spy center has opened up on Mauritius, and island east of Madagascar.. All of a sudden my blog has gotten 6 hits from Mauritius this week... already.

Mike Pence returned home from being presented as Trump's running mate, and NBC's Vaughn Hillyard  got upset that Pence went to dinner at a Chili's restaurant.. liberals are such snobs.

---
I'm not sure I'll ever return to actually stay at a Seaside, FL rental.. We did this past weekend because our family unit down the beach was already spoken for, but at Seaside, parking is such a premium, we were literally held hostage because if we left for a trip to eat outside of Seaside, we could literally be out of a parking place near our rental

---
One restaurant charges everything a la carte, entrees did not include any sides ($6.00 extra per), table bread was an extra $3.00.. was afraid to use only one fork as I wasn't sure I wouldn't be charged extra. At least they didn't charge for the water, but wasn't sure about that until I saw the bill.

---
Another restaurant we went to for breakfast because my bride had eaten there during a February Fund Raise 5K weekend, and she said it was all inclusive, marvelous and just $8.00. This time it was a $14.95 buffet..at least I thought it was $14.95.. until the bill came and they added $2.95 each for coffee.. which wasn't good enough for me to finish 1 cup, much less ask for a refill. Of course that same restaurant had the best deal on the beach for pina coladas during happy hour.. two were just $11.36 with taxes.

---
From the "so much for the "lone wolf" theory" department -  Online headline: "2 more arrests made after truck massacre in Nice  * Two more suspects were detained for questioning early Sunday in connection with the Nice truck attack, officials said. * 7 people now being held for the attack" -- -- It also proves what chickens***s these ISIS terrorists are.. sorta reminds me of the black terrorists who are shooting our policemen from ambushes.

---
Online headline/story: "Shepard Smith slams Bobby Jindal for saying all lives matter * “Shepard, I will say this, look, it, it is time for folks across party lines, across ideological lines to con–to condemn this violence, to condemn this insanity. We gotta come together. We’ve got to say that all lives matter,” Jindal said, "It doesn’t matter what color you are: Black, white, brown, red, it doesn’t matter. All lives matter. We’ve got to protect and value our belief…” *  Smith then cut in to attack, "Governor, you know, you know that that phrase you just used is is one that’s seen by many as, as derogatory, right? I, I just wonder why it is that you use that phrase when there’s a certain segment of the population that believes it’s a real dig on ’em.” --  I stopped watching him last January because of his liberal leanings, but it's time for Fox to cut him loose..The best way to force the issue is to stop watching him.

---
 
Much to the chagrin of my bride, I walked the beach at Seaside wearing my Trump 2016 t-shirt..(while she is for Trump. she tales a quieter approach than I do). Until this time, she noted that most of the men we saw didn't have smiles ((I told her what man could when paying for food for his family at Seaside), but men.. women, too, lit up all the way down the beach. I casually mentioned, that now men were smiling,, she rolled her eyes a bit. Go Trump!

Bicycle protocol must be revisited. After vacationing on 30A in Florida, even texting while driving is not nearly as distracting as 50-60 year olds riding bicycles wearing spandex and goofy neon colored helmets.

You know..the real difference between Trump and Hillary (and RINOs) is that Trump wants to do what's best for America, while Hillary et al want to do what they feel is best for them.

Online headline/story: "Albany cancels game against Duke over transgender bathroom ban in North Carolina *  "The State University of New York supports Governor [Andrew] Cuomo's executive order banning all non-essential travel to the state of North Carolina, and we instructed our campuses to immediately review any existing travel plans by faculty and staff," SUNY spokesman Holly Liapis told the Herald-Sun. "SUNY and its campuses continue to support the Governor on taking this stand."  *  The game was scheduled as part of the Hall of Fame Tip Off, a tournament that Duke is contractually in and must find a replacement for." -- Good grief.. who wants a men's basketball team in a tournament that's not satisfied with using a men's locker room?  Since the Governor's "man"date applies only to public colleges in NY, Duke should get a private NY college to replace Albany.

Oh, can you imagine the embarrassment  the Albany players will have to face as the public figures out which player(s) want to use the women's locker room?

---
Online "headLIE": "Top Republicans refuse to attend the convention" -- Exc use me.. RINOs, maybe, but Republicans.... NOT!  In fact, the list of Senators pretty much explains why not much was accomplished in Congress.

Online headline: "John Kerry: Recent spate of terror attacks prove ISIS is 'on the run'" -- "on the run"? Yeah to France, and America...

---
Henrik Stenson must have wondered what he had to do to shake Phil Mickelson at the British Open. He blew all other players away with record tying 63, but couldn't stop Phil until the last hole. The two were awesome.
---
Without a doubt, ZERO-bama cannot deny the blood of the dead police officers is on his hands.

---
It use to be that death and taxes were the 2 certainties in life...now there's a 3rd. We can be certain that cop killers in recent terror actions are not Republicans.

---
Why is the L-E so interested in influencing, even campaigning for candidates, in the MCSB runoffs? It's not its place to create news, but report it..

---
Doesn't it strike you as biased that mainscream media will grill Trumps children about their dad, but not Chelsea?...especially about women.

---
Saw a beautiful sign on the way back from the Gulf..a political one at that,  At the intersection of FL 273 and US 231 was a sign that read "Elect Larry Moore, Superintendent of Schools"..Just wish we could have an appointed School Board and elected Superintendent.

Once again it needs to be pointed out that Dr Wright's Business Symposium is runs the diversity gamut of black-to.......

Online headline/story: "University of Louisville Says No Whites or Aisins Need Apply In Job Posting For Professorship * the University placed an ad for an Assistant Professor to work in the school’s Department of Physics and Astronomy. Keeping in line with civil rights legislation prohibiting discrimination on account of race, sex and disability, the ad was prefaced with a statement that the University would consider all applicants equally as required by federal law. While this was innocuous enough, the ad concluded on a shocking note: that the position would (not could be, would be) “filled by an African-American, a Hispanic American, or a Native American Indian.” -- Whatever happened to universities bring the best to education?
You know, I'd love to see an IRS/Census Bureau recap of how much in taxes are paid by each race.

---
Online headline:FATHER WHO BEAT MAN TO DEATH FOR RAPING HIS FIVE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER FACES NO CHARGES IN TEXAS" - Hmmm.. why was there even a question?

---

L-E headline/story: "Sharpton blasts effort to mute Black Lives Matter rallies * Later, Sharpton led a march of over 100 people through Brooklyn." -- Good grief.. Columbus had a "march" of an estimate of 90.. but, how come either protest warranted any newspaper coverage with so few people supporting the organizers in Columbus or Brooklyn.. While in Florida this past weekend, I saw over 100 people lined up outside an i e cream shop, and the L-E didn't print a story about that.

 

---

L-E guest commentary headline: "Ungrateful nation owes Obama a nod * BY DICK MEYER * Scripps Washington Bureau" -- "ungrateful nation"? Well is a sense this is a half-truth .. Americans have no gratitude in the sense we have been embarrassed for the last 8 years at how our allies...former allies have been abandoned; Americans have no gratitude for ZERO-bama's lack of support for justice and police department support;  ..Americans have no gratitude at for the divisive racial gap ZERO-bama has cultivated; Americans have no gratitude at how ZERO-bama hasn't stemmed the flow of illegal aliens.. and drugs that cross our borders; Americans have no gratitude for a justice system that lets political corruption go unchecked; Americans have no gratitude for a president that will not stand up to thugs and bullies.. nationally or internationally; Americans have no gratitude at how ZERO-bama has devalued their savings accounts. yeah Americans are ungrateful, in a way.. but a justified way.

ZERO-bama says he'll "never give up on diplomacy"...boy, that has ISIS trembling...and our allies shaking.

Online headline/story: "Historic Atlanta bank sees spike in applicants amid calls to bank black * A historic Atlanta bank is busy after influencers in the black community called for people to move their money into black-owned banks. * Citizens Trust Bank, founded in 1921 on Auburn Ave., is owned and operated by African Americans. After a week of protests following new officer-involved shootings, celebrities and influences started sharing blogs listing various black-owned banks throughout the country. Citizens Trust Bank was on that list. *  Jay Bailey is chairman of the bank's Next Generation Advisory Board. He said in just five days, 8,000 people  submitted applications to join the bank." -- Yes, ZERO-bama.. there's no racial divide expansion under your presidency.. I guess next we'll have to refer to dollars as "dark green and light green"...

Pence...not my first choice, but a good one..would still have liked to see Newt running the Senate as he did the House.

---
Have you noticed that when Trump foes rant, they never add anything good about Hillary to strengthen their opinions? After nearly 25 years in the public sector, you'd think...er.. "feel", even the Democratic Party spinmeisters would have at least one "talking point" about some reason , other than she's not a Republican, to vote for Hillary.

---
Hillary said, "We will not be intimidated". Hmmm..what she didn't say is that "We will be intimidating!"

---
The Trump-Pence campaign logo.. 100% American! T/P... The Presidency!  or TP... you know, what we need to clean up all the "crap" in the White House come January.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the "what could possibly go wrong with government planning" department: Hmm.. NASA has developed an underwater drone (submarine) it's going to send to a moon of Jupiter 390,000,000 miles away, drill a hole in an ice shelf that they think is "only" 20 feet thick out of an area that could be 2,000 feet thick..   then roam around in the huge ocean underneath then return  to it's original drilled hole. Is guess we can assume that the operator will have to be the Eveready Bunny since I'm not sure a solar battery could be recharged.. I an see the headline now.. "One Giant Schlep for Mankind".

---
Online "Hillary Special" headline: "How Trump's tax plan will actually affect your wallet * The GOP frontrunner's plan looks to make sweeping cuts across every income level, but it would benefit one group of Americans the most." -- You know.. liberals actually have the most to benefit.. but getting them to look reality in the face scares them.. They cannot imagine good people with more money in their pockets being generous with their own money rather than the government with other people's money.

---
From the "headline with twisted truth hidden in it" department - Online headline: "Obama speaks out amid chaos in Turkey" -- Hmmm.. it reads n=more truthfully when it's rewritten "Turkey speaks out amid chaos in Obama".

---
Online headline: "Obama called Secretary of State John Kerry last Friday night and issued his stance on the military coup that attempted to gain control of the nation." -- Hmmm.. too bad (at least he won't admit to doing it) ZERO-bama didn't call Hillary and stand strong for 4 Americans in Benghazi.

---
Online headline: "Philadelphia conducting experiment to save gunshot victims" -- Hmm not traditionally treating the patient en route is the experiment?  I would think it would be moe effective to have life sentences for felons in possession of guns and instant death sentences for felons who fire the guns.

---
Online headline: "ISIS Claims Responsibility For Nice Terror Attack" -- Good grief.. that should have been the conclusion as soon as the authorities found out that the (_*_) was from Tunisia,, a 99% Muslim country.

---

L-E headline: "Plans for Great Wolf Lodge site in LaGrange unveiled" -- Hmm.. I can see the gears turning in Columbus Council on how it will effect Columbus.. 500,000 vacationing people a year within 45 minutes of Columbus is huge.. unfortunately, more people from Columbus will go there than the tourist magnet will send to Columbus. Columbus will even miss out on any gain in T-SPLOST revenues as Troop-connected district correctly opted out of the regressive TSPLOT referendum.. Of course, OUR Whitewater attraction is exempt from sales taxes.. Wow.. and what will be the impact on Callaway Gardens? What family who is invested in a day's rates for their family is going to go to Columbus or Callaway and lose that aleady paid for time at Great Lodge.. I wonder.. did our Chamber make an offer?

Online headline/story: "Truck attacker plows into French crowd, kills 84 celebrating Bastille Day * The attacker, identified by a police source as a 31-year-old Tunisian-born Frenchman, also opened fire before police shot him dead. * the truck (was) a rental vehicle according to local officials" --  Good grief...no body will say the words.. "Islamic Terrorist" despite that the religious demographics of Tunisia show 99% are Muslim.. and the fact that the (_*_) rented the truck proves it was a planned attack rather than a truck owner just snapping (our some horrid failure like a stuck accelerator and no brakes)

---
Online headline: "Texas beauty queen lost her crown" -- Ooops.. thought this was a typo...and meant to say the Alabama beauty queen .. for the comment she made ABOUT what happened in Texas.. Well.. it better happen, too!

---
Online story: "Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, the only black Republican in the Senate, delivered a deeply personal speech on race Wednesday, telling stories of the times he's been targeted by law enforcement officers for the color of his skin — even as a senator serving on Capitol Hill." -- I love Tim Scott, He's his own man..I love what he stands for and represents.. he is America.. of course because he is a conservative black Republican means he will always be profiled by Jesse Jackson, Al Sharlatan, the DNC and mainscream media.

---
Online headline: "Obama speaks at town hall about racial tensions"-- Well, when you want to know something, ask a professional.. who better than ZERO-bama as he's reversed 50 years of movement.

---
Loretta Lynch has set back the DOJ centuries.. whenever have we had the number 1 crime fighter basically "take the 5th" at a Congressional hearing to protect herself and a presidential candidate?

 ---
Online headline: "FBI director warns of terrorist exodus as ISIS 'caliphate' squeezed" -- Yeah, and it seems the DOJ and FBI have been infiltrated by the refugees.

---

L-E headline/story: "MCSD improves financial efficiency for 3rd straight year * On the state’s scale ranging from a low of 0.5 to a high of 5, the Muscogee County School District received 2 stars in a new measurement that compares academic performance to spending." -- Good grief! These are figures that should demand a clean sweep of the old board and school administartion,, How can receiving a "40%" grade equate with a celebration? Let's take back control of our children's futures, vote for Shelia Williams and JoAnne Thomas Brown!

 

 

---

From the "yellowest of journalism" department - L-E story: "(Frank) Myers, who was elected two years ago, is helping the Thomas-Brown and Shelia Williams campaigns in his attempt to overthrow the board’s establishment." -- Good grief.. this is yellow journalism at it's worst! This is a story, not an editorial, and to call an attempt to  bring the school system back to being responsible to the students and taxpayers as an effort to "overthrow" is an insult to every citizen in Columbus.. even the politicos that the L-E favors.
