Online story: "OMAHA, Neb., Aug 1 (Reuters) - Billionaire investor Warren Buffett on Monday campaigned alongside Democrat Hillary Clinton at a rowdy rally in his home state of Nebraska, where he challenged Republican Donald Trump to release his tax returns and said he would personally drive people to the polls in November. * After delivering a forceful rebuke of Trump's recent statements about the Muslim parents of a decorated American soldier killed in Iraq, Buffett said he wanted to surprise Clinton and "make a little news" by announcing the launch of a get-out-the vote effort." -- "would personally drive people to the poll"? Hmmm... more than likely, Buffett will drive more people TO THE POLL....FOR TRUMP! boy,, Buffett's a man for the people... NOT! When he dies, this guy is giving most of his money to Bill Gates's foundation (richest man in the world) instead of doing something good for the world while he's alive.

I'm not sure why Trump even responded to the Khan family death of their Marine son, but the only thing he should have said was that he didn't set the rules of engagement and other military policies that have gotten so many of our troops killed. In fact, the guy that was in charge of our military then doesn't support Trump.

Bill O'Reilly told a woman who wrote in to tell him how much her daughtet was enjoying his "Legends and Myths" series about our Founding Fathers. O'Reilly thanked her for.te compliment, and added her daughter would be better informed at school. O'Reilly is WRONG! The first time the young daughter raises her hand to pass on her knowledge, some teacher is going to jump down her throat and call her a liar.

Have you seen those Columbus, GA Literary Alliance ads where local volunteers talk about how their extra reading program has seeable and amazing results in about 8 weeks. Now, how come this cannot be done in classrooms. Kids who cannot read fluently cannot do well in school, testing, or life.

The Gap has a kids.. (boys) t-shirt that fits right in with the Common CRAP Curriculum.. it's has a picture of Albert Einstein sticking his tongue out... of course, Gap spelled Einstein... "Einstien" (Ine-STEEN). Talk about a "GAP" in education...

---
I just had a scary thought... you know if Hellary is elected president, that means Slick Willie will be hanging out retired at the WH with not much to do but aggravate her.. She could literally get him out of "her house" by appointing him a US Supreme Court Justice.. Can you imagine the plight of all the clerks and interns in his office?

---
Online story: "A Michigan man convicted of driving under the influence a dozen times is now accused of causing a crash that took the life of a 12-year-old girl." -- How can his happen! Whoever's truck he was driving, whether borrowed or taken without the owner's knowledge, should stand for trial as well..for providing him the keys either voluntarily or involuntarily..

Looks like ZERO-bama will be renting a home in Wash. DC the first year after he leaves office.. Apparently a flunky of Slick Willie will be the landlord.. Rent is $22,000.00... a month! Of course what ZERO -bama pays in rent for one year will pale in comparison to what we taxpayers will fork out to have this RENTAL property fixed up to handle the Secret Service and security measures they deem necessary. This I object vehemently! Why should a rental property be upgraded by tax dollars! We will have to pay for them again when he moves.

Make Slick Willie's landlord friend pay for the improvements to HIS property!

In support of Bill O'Reilly's mission to keep political agenda spinmeisters off his show, I am initiating my own support of eliminating such on all the Fox News shows. It's 11:34 AM and Alan Colmes just showed up on Fox...... hello, Hallmark!

Seems like like a lottery player in New Hampshire has hit the $480+ Million dollar PowerBall lottery. Wow... isn't that bigger than the New Hampshire annual economy?

The second "annual" Columbus Black Rodeo is returning to Columbus. Please ask the NAACP and Black Lives Matter if they would have any objection to a Columbus White Rodeo?

---
FOX News is crowing about Hellary saying her mother watches Fox News. Good grief..why would Fox believe this from a source that lies about everything?

---
Seems mainscream media is disappointed that following the primaries Trump had not evolved into Trump 2.0..Good grief... Hellary had given us versions 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 makeovers just since her initial campaign started... which version is mainscream media going to say is "the real Hellary"?

---
There's no cap on Hellary's desire..nor inclination ..to lie. Listening to her as she bowed her back when questioned by Chris Wallace just demonstrated that she has no interest in the truth, or correcting her past lies.

---
You know, there was method in Hellary's decision to have an interview with Fox's Chris Wallace... She could "wink" at mainscream media rather than disappoint them by being truthful to a Fox reporter.

---
Big...important..question...How could FBI Director James Comey state that he believed Hellary was telling the truth to his agents? Comey stated unequivocally that there were no recording or transcripts of Hellary's answers, and that he did not question Hellary himself.

---
You know, if Hellary had been really interested in getting a clean bill of health from the FBI, she would have INSISTED that Comey conduct..or at a minimum, sit in on, all questioning sessions.

---
Biden just said his political lust is not over..this just confirms that he's willing to jump in when Hellary is arrested.

---
You know, TV channels would have to start appealing to the viewers if a law was passed to stop lawyers and pharmaceutical ads.

The current Mayor and Council have no clue why Red McDaniel served so long and the electorate was grateful for his service.. Red took care of potholes.. it didn't matter where they were located, anybody, from any district, could call/e-mail Red, and know those potholes would get fixed. Since Red passed, there's no one looking after our streets. The true measure of the worth of a Mayor/Councilor is whether the streets are in better shape when they leave office than when they began.

Online story: "Hillary Clinton appeared on Fox News Sunday this morning, and repeated her denial that she told the families of the men killed in Benghazi that the attack was caused by a video. * She went one step further, and patronized the families, declaring “I don’t hold any ill feeling” towards family members who “may not fully recall everything that was or wasn’t said.” -- You know.. if there is one statement Hellary has ever made that should scare her supporters to death, it's this one.. even those who want to vote for her, much less this countries allies. must fear that she would tell them that when it comes to things she's said, or promises she's made, she will revert bacj=k to her selective amnesic ploy of "I don't recall".. we've heard her use this phrase over and over during the last 25+ years,whenever he is questioned .. especially under oath.

Item of note: Yesterday, Jill Stein, Green Party nominee for president, has chosen her running mate.. Ajamu Baraka.. Hellary must be in shock.. she's going to lose Black Lives Matter...

---
L-E headline: "Carmike reports $1.6 million loss amid ‘weaker’ movie lineup" -- Well,, crappie movies aren't Carmike's only problem.. earlier double-price-raises have been just as caustic to Carmike revenues, as well. Double-price-raises in that not only has Carmike raised all their prices, but prices use to contain the sales taxes, and now, Carmike is adding the combined state/local sales taxes (8%) to all ticket and concession sales.

---
From the L-E's "Today in History" feature: "In 1939, President Roosevelt signed the Hatch Act, which prohibited civil service employees from taking an active part in political campaigns." -- Wait a minute.. isn't this exactly what FBI Director James Comey did by telling the Congressional Committee he wasn't going to press any charges against Hellary?

L-E story: "After listening to the administration’s presentation about why Davis Elementary was chosen to house the approximately 40 students in the Wood-all program, District 8 representative Frank Myers said, “We are being forced out of a building that we did not maintain properly. … We have just absolutely treated like crap the most vulnerable citizens that we serve. * “There needs to be some soul searching, and there needs to be some accountability. … You don’t get a building in the horrible condition that it’s in in two or three months. This took years of neglect, and the buck needs to stop somewhere.” Varner and vice chairwoman Pat Hugley Green of District 1 apologized to the Woodall administrators, saying Myers’ comments aren’t the consensus of the board. * District 2 representative John Thomas prefaced that his criticism isn’t targeted toward the Woodall staff, but that this case is an example of why the district needs the efficiency audit that he has called for since he was elected two years ago, he said. * Thomas asked, “How did we get to this point, whose job was it to maintain this building, and at whose feet does this responsibility lie?” -- The MCSD budgeting process is the culprit,, no service organization can be ongoing when 86-to-87% of it's revenues are disbursed in salaries and benefits..  60-65% should be the maximum for such. That would leave enough to maintain our buildings daily/annually, and there would be no need of SPLOST projects to replace buildings with new ones that will face the same lack of maintenance problems that the MCSD suffers with.
