Online headline/story: "Trump calls first US debate moderator a Democrat; records show otherwise *
Republican Donald Trump may have gotten it wrong when he said the moderator of the first U.S. presidential debate next week between him and his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, is a Democrat. * NBC's Lester Holt, who will moderate the debate on Monday, is registered as a Republican, according to voter information on the New York State Board of Elections website. " -- Good grief... Lindsay Graham.. Jeb Bush.. are listed as Republicans.. but performances show otherwise.. Heck, Libertarian Candidate Gary Johnson was A Republican, but we know otherwise.. Heck.. I am currently listed as a Democrat but that's only because I want to have a voice in the primaries so I can vote for the best Democrat in case they run unopposed in November. I'll believe Lester Holt is a Republican when he swears under oath that he voted for McCain and Romney in the past 2 elections.. and not until then...

Online headline: "Poll shows Clinton scandal still a huge issue for voters" -- Hmmm.. that poll must have been of normal people who were not "likely Democrat voters", because Hellary knows her base doesn't really care about her lying to them on anything... everything.

---
From the "this should settle it for independents/wishy-washy Republicans and thinking Democrats(well, there are a few)" department - Online headline: "Former GE CEO Jack Welch will vote for Donald Trump" -- Jack Welch was probably the best business person in the country when he ran GE.. Heck, I sold my stock in GE, and stopped buying anything GE .. including light bulbs, when Welch retired.

From the "caught commie-RED-Handed" department - Online headline/story: "CNN incorrectly reports Donald Trump advocating for 'racial profiling' * Donald Trump advocated for police to do more "profiling" during an appearance on Fox News Channel on Monday, and rival network CNN falsely added the word "racial" when reporting his quotes. * (Trump actually said) "Our local police — they know who a lot of these people are. They are afraid to do anything about it because they don't want to be accused of profiling," --  "CNN incorrectly reports"? INTENTIONALLY is more like it! What's even sadder is more people are learning about how CNN "alters the truth" on other news sources and blogs   than actually saw/heard the CNN broadcast.

---
There are stories out speculating Trump's tactics during the debate... good grief,, does anyone actually believe that Trump would tip his hand on his tactics after months of chastising ZERO-bama for always revealing to the jihadists what he's going to do and when? No.. Hellary won't know what hit her.. well... actually she will... it's just that it'll be the TRUTH, and that always is the hardest thing she has to deal with.

---
Child-impersonator Mark Cuban said, ""Mike Pence is on there talking about charity and how Donald Trump is so charitable and how he gives millions to charity," Cuban said. "And all you have to do is ask any of the charities he's donated to. That should've been the easiest softball in the world based on what the [Washington] Post has written. Nothing! Right?" -- Hey, Mark,,, why don't you ask the Clintons which charities they have donated to? Why.. because we already know... themselves!

---
Online headline: "Clinton slams Wells Fargo's 'outrageous behavior'" -- Hmmm.. first I was going to ask if Hellary was sending back any speech fees she received from Wells Fargo, but after a little research, it appears that Wells Fargo was about the ONLY bank that didn't pay her.. this probably explains why she's going after WF now.

---
HuffPOOPOO headline: "Why President Obama Has Difficulty Garnering Respect Internationally" -- Good grief.. it's about time HuffPOOPOO "got it".. the rest of the world knew from the git-go when ZERO-bama accepted the Nobel Peace Prize for something he didn't do, and then went on his "Apology Tour". Even I thought the HuffPOOPOO might catch on following ZERO-bama's famous failure to step up when Syria's ASSwad laughed at the "line in the sand" ZERO-bama "drew".

I'm pissed off! That Islamic jihadist who planted bombs in NYC and NJ is recovering, at taxpayer expense, in a hospital (rather than a terrorist compound), and has been given a figure he can post for bond! The NJ police should have shot to kill once he opened fire on them, and should he be treated as a terrorist, not a common criminal!

---
Hellary stayed in NYC to talk with world leaders yesterday morning, hoping to show that world leaders like her...of course they like her, they'd love having another president who will let them run over her.

---
Listening to ZERO-bama address world leaders in NYC made it seem like he actually believes he's created Utopia. Maybe Webster needs to.put his.picture as the example of "Delusional".

---
ZERO-bama also said: "And meanwhile, global capital is too often unaccountable — nearly $8 trillion stashed away in tax havens, a shadow banking system that grows beyond the reach of effective oversight." -- Hmmm guess that means countries that "over tax" industry.. (just the US?) have survived so what it demonstrates is that government is just greedy, yet the world gor=es on without the input of taxes on those "$8 TRILLION. Of course what he didn't say is that his administration has created more than that $8 TRILLION in additional NATIONAL DEBT since he took office!

---
Later he said, "So how do we fix this imbalance? We cannot unwind integration any more than we can stuff technology back into a box. Nor can we look to failed models of the past. " -- "nor can we look to failed models of the past"? Good grief.. all ZERO-bama's ideas are from "failed models".. socialism/communism, Saul Alinski/Bill Ayers,  and LBJ's "Great Society/War on Poverty"!

---
And finally, ZERO-bama said, "the United States worked with many nations to curb the excesses of capitalism — not to punish wealth, but to prevent repeated crises that can destroy it. That’s why we’ve worked with other nations to create higher and clearer standards for banking and taxation — because a society that asks less of oligarchs than ordinary citizens will rot from within." -- "asks less of oligarchs than ordinary citizens"?  Good grief..if ZERO-bama actually felt this, he'd fire Josh Earnest, after he had fired Jay Carney and Robert Gibbs, and he'd have already tried and convicted Hellary! (ZERO-bama would get off by pleading the 5th Amendment, then pardoning himself before he leaves office)

---
Following the FBI handling of the pre-Bomber Brothers act of terrorism, and the latest act in NYC/NJ, plus the lack of effort with Hellary, I want a new FBI administration and attitude.The only way to get that is by electing Trump. Vote Trump!

---
From the "run that by me again" department - Over 1,800 (Homeland Security is admitting to) illegal aliens set for deportation, have been given citizenship when they used fake names and info . And ZERO-bama's DOJ/Appeals Court judges say states don't have a right to demand proof of citizenship to register and vote? It's time for every state to invoke its 10th Amendment rights!

---
Hellary says she is the only candidate that has taken jihadis off the battlefields..
yeah, she has..unfortunately she brought them home with her.

---
The FBI says it investigated Rahami and found nothing out of the ordinary... yeah? What the FBI didn't say is Rahami is like all the others with jihadist connections, and that seems normal to the FBI.

---
Saw a folk art sign at Dinglewood Pharmacy when my bride and I went to lunch there yesterday..it was rather crude political art.. It read, "Beware of dog, it only bites Republicans". I thought it needed clarification, and if I had a Sharpie with me, I would have added, the dog's a bitch, and named Hellary.

From the "how about some clear info, L-E" department -- L-E story: "Students recipients of the REACH Scholarship, a need-based mentorship and scholarship program initiated by Gov. Nathan Deal, sign contracts Tuesday at the award ceremony at Muscogee County Public Education Center. * When she moved to the United States from Mexico five years ago as a third-grader, Alexsandra Casanova-Chavez couldn’t speak English, and the thought of going to college seemed to be an elusive goal. * Now an eighth-grader at Eddy Middle School, she speaks fluent English and is on track toward a college education. And thanks to a state program called REACH (Realizing Educational Achievement Can Happen), she is one of eight Muscogee County School District eighth-graders who won’t have to worry about affording college if they keep meeting high standards." -- First, congratulations to Miss Alexsandra Casanova-Chavez  and her parents.. she/they have escaped the norm in the MCSD.. but... BUT. is the Casanova-Chavez  family eligible.. There seems to be a need to know whether the family is of US citizenship or legally on track to become.. if not, then there may be.. no would be a misuse of GA tax dollars. Hey, if the Casanova-Chavez   were from Phenix City, they would not be eligible unless they were paying the out-of-state fees (which I believe are over $9,000.00 annually, and that would seemingly make her ineligible for the "with financial need" portion of the qualifications).

L-E headline/story: "Drew leaving position as CSU police chief * (Drew said) "We have very much loved living in Columbus,” he said. “But Emory came at me pretty hard.” * In 2015, Drew’s position paid $101,414, according to the Open Georgia website that includes salary information on state employees. His title with the university is assistant vice president for campus safety." -- Good grief, no wonder our children's college tuition and fees are so outlandishly high! Columbus Police Chief Ricky Boren's current salary is $107,000.00.. To me, if I'd been Emory, I would have gone after Ricky Boren instead of Drew and got more experience for probably less money!

 

---

The above abuse of GA citizens' money for education reminds me of a question I asked a couple of years ago when it was reported that Columbus Technical College had purchased new "pursuit vehicles", and I asked "why does Columbus Tech security need "pursuit vehicles"? To me, they should do well with golf carts and a portable battery  jump box.

L-E story: "In a bid to “Thaw the Freeze,” Columbus Mayor Teresa Tomlinson said it is a regressive tax and slows growth while supporter Nadine Moore said it prevents the city from taxing people out their homes." -- "Columbus Mayor Teresa Tomlinson said it is a regressive tax "? Does anyone need to know anything else why I refer to the mayor as "Mayor TomLYINGson"? Sales taxes, which treat every dollar spent the same no matter if a person has but one in his/her wallet or thousands available, are regressive, and  she has no problem supporting all of those...

 

Seniors, on fixed or limited income, should be the most diligent in calling her out on her claim that she can guarantee their "freeze" will be guaranteed. TomLYINGson has no say in what the courts will certainly rule within a year following if the "freeze" Constitutional Amendment is repealed.

What is it with the "together 2016/ www.buildingabettercolumbus.com" crowd? Today's ad in the L-E excessively praises Dr Lewis. Excuse me, but I think a Superintendent of the MCSD who has been on the job but three years and has no definitive "victories" should wait before "public exaltation"  begins.

 

---

L-E headline: "School board approves transportation director" -- Well 5 (enough to pass it) rubber stamped a Lewis recommendation.. two were absent and our heroes, Thomas amd Myers abstained for the correct reasons.. board members were not allowed to ask questions about questionable items on the resume'. There are no local businesses that would have hired any applicant that had as many discrepancies on his/her resume' as Lyles work history was reported by MCSD.
