You know... while there are similarities between the Clintons.. such as liars supreme, there's one particular difference ... Hellary has neither style nor substance.

Online headline: "Cuban: Trump could start 'WWIII'" -- "Cuban"? Oooops.. that one.. not one of the Castro brothers.. You really have to wonder what's driving Mark Cuban's ego... but whatever it is, it sure is damaging the image as a sage.. WWIII has already started!

Anthony Weiner is back in the spotlight... remember those "Weiner for Mayor of NY" signs.. well, it was a prophecy that came true.. Bill de Bl(_*_)sio.

You know, our "RINO-publican" representative Pezold is a work of art.. he supports TomLYINGson's tax thaw, yet in his family, one is trying to get away with not paying the fair taxes as the law reads now. His parents have moved into a medical retirement facility yet their other home still has a H1 exemption on it.. Have sent a copy of the Tax Database file to our Council/Mayor (and media reps), Another "player" bought a home last October for $725,000.00 yet the NEW tax assessment values it at $557,417.00. It also has an exemption code I do not recognize.. "HC" instead of "H1".. That property has a previous sales price $670,000.00 in 2009. Let's shine the light on those backing this effort to remove our tax freeze!

With as many laws as libs claim we need more and stronger worded ones, have you noticed they don't address the issue of desecrating of flag. This is one I think is needed.. A law requiring all US Flags sold for display use be made of a heavily fire retardant materials, and a law to charge anyone dousing the US fla=g with an accelerant and lighting it be charged with felony arson. Hmmm, and how about throwing in all mandatory 5 year sentences be served at GITMO since it has plenty of openings.. now.

Online headline/story: "Unemployment insurance claims soar in Georgia * First-time claims for unemployment insurance in Georgia soared in July, with most metropolitan areas, including Gainesville, recording double-digit increases. * Statewide, applications increased 30.6 percent compared to the numbers for June, led by Rome which had an increase of 94.6 percent. " -- Hmmm well, while not as bad as Rome, our increase was still an unhealthy 47.5%. This is not what we expect until the end of August when all those temporary summer job holders return to school. These are jobs that longer term workers held and have been laid off. Betcha the economic and health insurance policies established by the Democratic Party in ZERO-bama's first two years is coming to roost ..now that we've had time to red what they passed.

You know.. when I think about Hellary being in position to be elected president, it makes my skin crawl to think she would ne on the same list as Washington and Lincoln and Reagan, and that our grandchildren will be forced to see her as an equal..

---
You know, we cannot blame the state of the nation all on Democrats...no RINO-publicans are as much to blame, as they've diluted the conservative concept to the point that too many voters had just been too demoralized to go vote. Trump is making that feeling disappear.

In it's assessment of Mike Pence's upcoming campaign trip to GA, the AJC has to put it's liberal stamp on the facts.. The AJC "says", "The campaign stops – and the local officials who will speak at each – are designed to be a GOP show of unity behind Trump and Pence in Georgia. The state hasn’t voted for a Democrat since 1992, but Trump’s divisive comments and sagging support among conservatives has forced him to play defense in a reliably Republican state." -- Good grief.. it's not the conservtives Trump mneeds to win over, it's those quasi-Demtcratic placating RINOs! In fact.. those "RINOs" should be taking lesson notes from Trump and Pence if they want to stay relevant.

A South Carolina high school principal banned the American flag from a football game because the visiting team had a large number of players of Hispanic ancestry. Aren't those players Americans also, but even if they weren't, this IS America and we fly the American flag to honor our Founding Fathers and our active and veteran soldiers and our future!. Fire the principal!

Hmmm .. if you are wondering what Iran might use $400,000,000.00 in CASH, how about buying Russian missiles.

As far as I'm concerned.. Kaepernick's career and the products he has endorsed are "dead to me" One of his endorsement contrats is with TATA Motors LTD,. In it's own way, this is sorta cryptic.. as Kaepernick  might as well say "ta-ta" to the NFL and product endorsements

What is it with Democrat spinmeisters.. seems their number one ploy is to say Trump isn't "presidential" enough times in hopes that someone other than libs will believe them. Trouble is that nothing Democrat spinmeisters can say will convince non-libs that Hellary is..or will ever be, "presidential".

Of course the dean at the University of Chicago would say that students should not expect to find "safe zones"..good grief, there's no safe zones in Chicago anywhere.

Although a twenty year high, the number of homicides in August actually shows a drop from May-June-July totals.. of course it may be that the thugs are out-of-town on vacation, but it's most likely that there are about 1300 less thugs living after those prior 3 months.

L-E headline: "RiverWalk’s 22-mile span to be done next year, official says" -- Hmmm.. obviously, the GA DOT didn't award the job to the Whittlesey Road expansion company.. On the other hand, the cost has been "neutered"... Per officials, "Funding for the projects will come from the TSPLOST approved by voters in 2012" ..what is it that let's "officials" keep a straight face when suggesting that tax dollars do not come directly out of YOURS and my pockets.... and only after they have taken their share in salaries and benefits?

From the L-E's "Today in history" feature: "In 1967, the Senate confirmed the appointment of Thurgood Marshall as the first black justice on the U.S. Supreme Court." -- Hmmm... now, let's parse the confirmation vote vote.. There were 64 Democrat Senators and 36 Republicans. The vote to confirm Thurgood Marshall was a close one, especially since a Democrat president, LBJ nominated Marshall for the seat. Out of the 64 Democrats sitting in the Senate, ONLY 37 voted YES on Marshall's appointment, while 32 of 36 Republicans voted for him. Thurgood Marshall would not be of historical significance had it not been for the Republican Party.. No wonder Dr. Martin Luther King was a Republican. What has happened to the black vote's direction!

L-E headline/story: "Jury is still out on Columbus man’s second murder trial * The jury apparently can’t reach a unanimous decision on all the charges against Ulysses Wiggins, raising the possibility his second trial could end in a mistrial. *   * Jury is still out on Columbus man’s second murder trial * Convicted in 2010 and sentenced to life in prison in the 2008 fatal shooting of Catherine Walker, Wiggins got a second trial after the Georgia Supreme Court overturned his conviction, ruling that Wiggins had asked to represent himself and the judge in 2010 neglected to hold a hearing on his request. *  * The jury apparently can’t reach a unanimous decision on all the charges against Ulysses Wiggins, raising the possibility his second trial could end in a mistrial." -- What is it with our GA Supreme Court that makes it overturn about any guilty convict's case on such premises as this and the infamous "inefficient representation by defense counsel"? Who believes a criminal is better suited to handled his own murder trial than someone else who has been somewhat trained (or at least exposed) to the legal aspects of a murder trial? I'm not sure who the judge was in this case, but I'm sure he considered the criminal's request with due diligence, and justifiably found no reason to look further into it. The GA Supreme Court should be reprimanded for undermining the lower courts of the state.

L-E headline: "Eyewitnesses shed light on questions about fatal school bus crash last week * While officials continue to investigate the cause of last week’s fatal bus crash, three eyewitnesses who saw the bus immediately before, during and after the wreck shed light on some remaining questions. " -- Every discussion about what happened .. especially the "no brake lights", indicate to thinking people that something.. possibly a heart attack or some seizure, disabled the bus driver. It pretty much explains all the actions surrounding the bus's movements a]nd crash. I haven't seen anything in the L-E even approaching such happenings.

Still, my number one question is why the MCSD is picking up Kindergarten and 1st grade students to begin with, but more questionable is why parents ALLOW their K-1 children to ride on the buses?

L-E headline: "Four charged with murder of woman who was beaten, burned in Grantville" -- Four of the five people charged in the home invasion where Dorothy Dow was fatally beaten and burned now face murder charges, authorities confirmed. One serious question leaps out: Why didn't this story expand on why one of the criminals was NOT charged with " mass and malice murder "?

In today's  L-E "Letters". Eva Ulrich Chappelle brings up the sadness fn the local Girls Scouts Council selling off Camp Concharty. I had the same distaste for our local Boy Scout council when they sold off Camp McKenzie a number of years ago, because my grandfather J. D. Kirven, Sr,  was among a group of local business leaders (Homer Dimon, James B, Key, H.B. Crowell, J.A. Thomas, Frank G. Lumpkin, Sr,, Sidney Colquitt et al) who bought and donated the property in 1921 to the Boy Scouts so the camp could be built. It's a shame current leaders don't have the commitment to keep such treasures open and thriving for future generations.
