From the "absolutely yellow journalism at it's worst" department - Online snippet: Words printed by Oliver Darcy of Business Insider.. "The operator of the anti-Trump Stop Trump PAC, a Republican operative who asked not to be named to preserve his anonymity.... -- Good grief.. anonymity  with unverifiable description of the source is about as YELLOW  as journalism can get.. if one will not stand behind  and be responsible/acountable for one's words, one should not have a voice.

Online headline: "Potential Trump VP on abortion: 'Women have to be able to choose' -- Once again.. abortion is not, should not, be a legislative issue.. it is a morals issue that those choosing such have to deal with God in their own personal relationship.. Republicans need to stop second guessing God.

Online :headLIE: "Bernie Sanders expected to make big endorsement" -- God grief... what's "big" about one socialist siding with another socialist.. Sanders endorsing Trump instead of Hillary would be BIG.

Online ZERO-bama quote: ""First of all, as painful as this week has been, I firmly believe that America is not as divided as some have suggested," Obama, visiting Poland, told a news conference in Warsaw." -- "not as divided as some have suggested"? -- He's probably right... it's MUCH WORSE as some have suggested!

---
HuffPOOPOO headline: "Osama bin Laden's Son Threatens Revenge Against U.S. For Father's Assassination" -- Hmm..if ZERO-bama will say "he could have been my son"?

---
The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." -- What part of "shall not" does any judge not understand.. even hesitating to defend it should be enough reason for impechment.

I was watching the women's 5K Finals during the Olympic Trials last night..and could help but wonder what the non-top-3 finalists were feeling as they were staggered down the track when the top-3 crossed the finish line.. imagine working so hard for the past 4 years to even make it to the finals.. then "poof",  you're an "also-ran"... can you dream.. even consider... of giving up another 4 years of your life to try again?

HuffPOOPOO headline: "Ruth Bader Ginsburg Jokes She Could Move To New Zealand If Donald Trump Is Elected President" -- Hmmm... now before we start celebrating, you must get by the irony hat New Zealand probably wouldn't let her in...

Online headline/story: "Bullfighter and runner die, two others gored in Spanish bull festivals * A bullfighter and a man participating in a village bull-run were killed in Spain on Saturday, while another two men were gored by the animals at the world-famous festival in the town of Pamplona. *  Many of Spain's towns hold summer festivals involving bulls, and several people die each year." -- "several people die each year"? Wow! I'm going to call my travel agent and book a family trip there next year....NOT!

Have you seen the Hillary ad claiming her wanting to be president has "always been about kids"?  Yeah right.. well, we know in her own words she's not going to bake cookies...so we have to assume she's pimping for Bill

WRBL 3 News headline/story: "Community activist, NAACP president arrested in Uptown protest * The streets of Columbus took on a different tone, as people from all different races came together to protest peacefully. Protester Janice Bryant says she and others can’t be afraid to speak out for what they believe in. *  “A lot of people feel like racism doesn’t exist or people are just silent about it,” said Bryant." -- "A lot of people feel like racism doesn’t exist or people are just silent about it"? -- Yes Ms Bryant.. racism exists.. especially if you're looking.. TRYING to make everything about race... of course. opportunities to talk about the problems and solutions are cut off when the first action is to claim something is all about racism.. No, Ms. Bryant,, the problem is really about "attitude".. and an attitude that someone else is the problem gets you, us, nowhere.

In lockstep with above - L-E story: "Averett described the protest as peaceful. * “It was civil disobedience and civil disobedience does not involve obeying the law,” he said. "Only he should have been arrested, and not Thomas, since he was the protest leader, he added". -- Heh heh heh,, "Only he should have been arrested"? So much for women's equal rights..Protest that, Tanza..

Online story: "Authorities in Minnesota said at least five police officers were injured in a protest sparked by the recent police killings of black men in Minnesota and Louisiana on Saturday night. * St. Paul police said the officers were injured after some protesters threw rocks, firecrackers and other debris at them. * protesters also hurled bricks, glad bottles, construction rebar and liquids at the officers. A Molotov cocktail was also thrown toward the officers." -- What a peaceful way to show your concern for law & order and gain respect.. NOT.. The restraint of police officers under such abuse is remarkable.. these protesters either don't know..or don't care,, that the incident they are inflamed about ..a Minnesota man with a habitual offender's rap sheet, and had a gun in his lap and refused to stop moving his hands towards it as ordered by the police, who had stopped the car because the driver/passenger fit the description of two wanted for an armed robbery.

---
Online story: "The Fraternal Order of Police, the country’s largest group of sworn law-enforcement officers, is asking the Justice Department to “immediately” investigate the killing of five Dallas police officers as a hate crime." -- You know.. why should anyone have to ASK the DOJ to investigate this as a "hate crime". It looked.. sounded.. pretty obvious to me, and the majority of American citizens.. having to ask the DOJ to consider to do this is basically a condemnation of the 8 years of ZERO-bama's administration. This.. is his
legacy"...

The weekend is over, and I'm more PO'd now than I was last week when Comey said there wouldn't be any charges made against Hillary. I'm madder because he didn't tell us up front that not only didn't he actually interview Hillary, but he didn't even discuss the questions his minions did or did not ask Hillary...and no one recorded anything she said.

President Obama on Saturday urged Americans to remain optimistic about race relations in the immediate aftermath of two black males being fatally shot by police officers, then a gunman apparently retaliating by killing five Dallas law-enforcement officials, saying, “We cannot let the actions of a few define all of us. * This is not who we are.”  -- Not who "we" are? Well it seems ZERO-bama has had no trouble labeling conservatives as racist and hatemongers for the past 9 years (let's not forget his campaign time).

---
It's frustrating to hear ZERO-bama stand behind a podium, face-flop between two TelePrompters, and say "WE" have to do this, believe that, or support some strange concept of justice.. I do not think he feels I am someone he would want to sit down and drink a beer with. The Dallas Police Department probably feels this way, too.

---
Word is out trying to dispell a second or third sniper in Dallas. While echoes can be misleading, let's wait an see whether or not all the bullets match up to rifle markings on the weapons the dead shooter wielded.

Online headline: "Obama: As painful as this week has been, I firmly believe that America is not as divided as some have suggested" --  Good grief.. America has been divided more under ZERO-bama than any president since Lincoln.. and Lincoln's idea was to UNITE us all... America will stay divided as long as ZERO-bama will not call bigoted black racists like Al Sharlaton, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, and Charlie Rangel black racist bigots to their face on National TV.. and without a TelePrompTer .. it needs to come from his heart.. The only thing that hasn't changed is politicos who have made their careers and fortunes pretending time stopped in the 60s.  None of "acceptable-to-mainscream-media" " black leaders seem to have noticed that the only group of people who want to suppress black growth is the Democratic Party... Not until then will ALL Americans will know ZERO-bama is THEIR president.

This is not a rhetorical question...it should be presented to all black leaders and under oath. Question: As a black parent, would you feel safer sending your child into a police station or into a South Chicago neighborhood?

Online headline: "Loretta Lunch Tells Cities And Judges To Ease Off Prosecution of Criminals Particularly Those Of Minority Status * If They Don’t Comply She Threatened To Do THIS To Them: They will lose federal funding, and risk being investigated for racial discrimination practices." -- What Loretta Lynch should be required to do is ride around in a police car in South Chicago (or Minnesota or even Washington, DC) and have to make on-the-fly street assessments of  situations that face every police officer every day/night when they stop to investigate an incident or pull over a car in a high-crime area. Then.. she might regain some respect for the DOJ..

Online headline/story: "BLACK LIVES MATTER Thugs Loot 7-Eleven Store After Cop Shootings…Taunt, Make Obscene Gestures At Grieving Dallas Police Officers * Hours after the Black Lives Matter massacre,  thugs got in the faces of grieving cops who were called to the scene of a 7-Eleven store that had been reportedly just been looted. " -- Yeah.. it's all about racism.. guess these "protesters" were honoring the rap sheets of the people they are protesting about...

Online story: "Less than 24 hours after the horrific massacre on Dallas police, authorities and the media seem to be going out of their way to distance the shooter behind the attack from black activist groups, such as Black Lives Matter. *  Hours before gunmen opened fire on police officers in downtown Dallas, killing five cops and injuring seven others, Louis Farrakhan posted a message of hatred and violence against white people on social media. * “When you are willing and not afraid anymore to pay the price for freedom — don’t let this white man tell you that violence is wrong,” Farrakhan said. “Every damn thing that he got, he got it by being violent — killing people, raping and robbing and murdering. He’s doing it as we speak, and then he has the nerve to come and tell us that violence and hatred won’t get it. Don’t buy that!” * Speaking about white people as one entity, Farrakhan proclaimed, “He is worthy to be hated.” He also claimed that “God hates,” and man is no better than God." -- The only hatred spoken here is by Farrakhan, and amidst the "hate" Farrakhan  blasphemes God.. and ZERO-bama will never challenge..

L-E headline/story: "Gun violence a growing concern in Columbus * Grassroots leaders will hold a gun buyback event 2 to 6 p.m. today on Cusseta Road * “If you are a law-abiding citizen and you own a firearm, there is no problem,” he said. “The problem that you run into with your firearms — this is from the police perspective — is when they are used by people who shouldn’t have them to begin with because it’s illegal for them to possess, or they take a firearm and use it as an (instrument) of a crime, where they use it to harm someone.” *(Assistant Columbus Police Chief) Miller said a woman notified the CPD about today’s gun buyback event, and asked that officers not be present. He expects the group to turn the guns into the police department at some point, he said. But guns that are “free and clear” — meaning that they’re not part of a criminal investigation or police can’t find their lawful owners — could end up back on the street due to a state law that prevents law enforcement agencies from destroying them. * “The guns are advertised that they’re for sale, and we sell them in batches,” he said, explaining the process. “Someone with a federal firearms license would come in, usually gun dealers, and they would bid on this batch or lot of guns. So, if in fact some guns are turned in, we’re going to turn right around and sell them out back on the street. * Sheriff John Darr showed the Ledger-Enquirer more than 100 guns that his office has collected over the past few years. He said many of the guns used for criminal acts are stolen from homes, businesses and vehicles, and then sold to dealers on the street. And they end up in the hands of people who either intend to commit crime or don’t know how to handle a firearm." --  Will some liberal please explain why any new proposal.. other than repealing the 2nd Amendment which would ..in effect,, neuter all the other Amendments... how do you stop gun violence by criminals if you cripple the death sentence and jury powers with lenient sentencing.. or worst yet.. incompetent DA plea bargains?

You know, if the man killed in Minnesota had a valid "concealed carry" permit, then he knew what he should have done when a police officer gave him an order.. Of course, I've seen no verification of him having such as broadcast by people with as little confirmation as myself.

---
Black Lives, White Lives, Blue Lives, Yellow Lives, Red Lives, American LIVES....they all MATTER...When any one group targets another, all bets are off at solving the future.

---
Yes, while all lives matter, nothing matters as much a morals and character...well, except lack of both...
---
There are several one-word reasons to describe the NAACP protest failure in Uptown Coumbus...
LAZY...didn't bother to check City protocol...CHEAP...obvious...but my favorite is ARROGANCE...just wanted to be insensitive to the grief shared by police officers everywhere.

---
The man killed in Minnesota...the one who defied police orders and got shot... He had a list of 60+ infractions and 39.convictions...well, most.of the charges involved repeat offenses and simply defying police orders. All he had to do.was comply with simple orders and he'd still be alive..Arrogance got him killed.

---

You know.. it's pretty discouraging when a murder happens and the person of interest is captured (or worse, turns him/herself into the police) but pleads "not guilty" in Recorders Court, then is bound over to Superior Court, lives  for months at taxpayer expense, and then our DA either plea-bargains them back on the streets in a few years, or cannot get a jury to convict them.

L-E headline/story: "Ga. set to execute sixth inmate this year *  John Wayne Conner, 60, is scheduled to die by injection of pentobarbital at the state prison in Jackson. He was convicted of beating a friend to death 34 years ago during an argument after a night of drinking and marijuana use." -- Good grief.. the man lived at taxpayer expense for more years than he had lived outside of jail when he killed another.. How does waiting 34 years to execute the sentence help detour others from following suit?

L-E story: "Council Agenda items:

 

"ALLOCATION OF HOME FUNDS TO NEIGHBORWORKS COLUMBUS INC.: Approval is requested to enter into a HOME Written Agreement, between the Columbus Consolidated Government and NeighborWorks Columbus Inc., to award Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds in the amount of $140,000 to construct two duplexes (four units) of affordable housing in Beallwood for rent to income eligible households.

 

ALLOCATION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT HOUSING ORGANIZATION SET-ASIDE FUNDS TO NEIGHBORWORKS COLUMBUS INC.: Approval is requested to enter into a HOME Community Development Housing Organization Written Agreement, between the Columbus Consolidated Government and NeighborWorks Columbus Inc., to award Home Investment Partnership Program set-aside funds in the amount of $121,000 to acquire and rehabilitate one single-family housing unit for resale to an income eligible household."

 

What is going on here.. NeigborWorks is also know as "Columbus Housing Initiative" and is headed by Cathy Williams.. the same Cathy Williams that is running again for the MCSB... she gets a 6-figure salary ..already.. for simply redistributing tax and other donated doillars . Her taking a salaried postion on the School Board would be double-dipping on the taxpayers' teat. This kind of abuse needs to be stopped.. Maybe her husband's newspaper will investigate.. NOT!

Another L-E story: "Council Agenda" item:

 

"ANNUAL SOFTWARE LICENSE MAINTENANCE RENEWAL FOR PERMITTING SYSTEM AND BUSINESS LICENSE SYSTEM: It is requested that council approve payment to Tyler Technologies (Dallas, Texas) in the amount of $66,091.79 for the annual software license maintenance renewal for the Energov Software Permitting System utilized by Inspections and Code; and the Energov Software Business License System utilized by the Finance Department’s Revenue Division. This payment will cover ongoing support for both systems from July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2017. Approval is also requested for future annual maintenance renewal fees, of approximately $66,091.79, which will be budgeted in the appropriate fiscal years." -- Good grief.. Tyler Technologies is also the company Mayor TomLYINGson hired to reassess our property vales.. in spite that we have a fully staffed and taxpayer paid Tax Assessor's Office.. Somebody needs to investigate the mayor's connection with Tyler Technologies..

L-E story: "The Lewis & Clark Humane Society is caring for nine dogs a South Korean woman said she saved from being killed for meat. *  An adoption price hasn’t yet been set, although it is typically $120 for a dog, which pays for spaying or neutering, vaccinations and time spent at the shelter pending adoption." -- Poor dogs,, whether for meat or adoption, they are still gonna get "butchered".. Now, who CANNOT see the handwriting on the wall.. a lawsuit filed by the ACLU because of interference with another person's cultural upbringing? Now, as  advice was given to Forrest Gump.. "Run, Dogs, Run"!
