Online story: "The Hillary Clinton campaign responded to a report Thursday that alleged Donald Trump violated the US embargo on Cuba nearly two decades ago. * "Trump's business with Cuba appears to have broken the law, flouted US foreign policy, and is in complete contradiction to Trump's own repeated, public statements that he had been offered opportunities to invest in Cuba but passed them up," said Jake Sullivan, a senior adviser to Clinton's campaign." -- Guess Hellary IS a typical Pelosi-Democrat.. she doesn't read  things before she "votes" on them. Further in the story (by design, I'm sure), but Trump's campaign manager stated, ""Read the entire story," she told the hosts of the daytime program. "It starts out with a screaming headline, as it usually does, that he did business in Cuba, and it turns out that he decided not to invest there. You have to read the entire story." Of course, mainscream media has moved on to lap up Hellary's next lie/innuendo.

I received an invitation earlier, but seeing the billboard yesterday reminded me of something I want to say now. Congratulations to Mr & Mr's Frank Brown being honored by with the Sue Marie and Bill TurnerServant Leadership Award coming up. The Browns are most deserving of this special recognition, but II'm passing on attending the presentation.. I really don't care to hear any more Kennedys speak on anything.

Online headline/story: "'Where are his damn tax returns?': Whoopi Goldberg relentlessly grills Trump campaign manager in fiery exchange * "Where are his damn tax returns? And why don't we know what he spent? Where is it?" Goldberg asked, claiming Hillary Clinton had been more transparent than Trump. * Conway said Golberg's characterization of Clinton as transparent was not true, saying she wanted to know what Clinton "was hiding in the 30,000 emails she deleted." * Goldberg moved the conversation back to Trump. * "What is Donald Trump hiding by not releasing that information?" she asked. * "So there is a 140-page financial disclosure form you can access," Conway replied. * "I want to know, since every other president has had to do it, where are the tax returns?" Goldberg shot back. "That's what I want to know."" -- " every other president has had to do it"?  Well, it's certainly not a requirement.. but people are curious.. nosy, BUT, WHOOPI, why aren't you interested in what Hellary did with her e-mails,, since it WAS a requirement to keep and turn over when she left office? If Whoopie is wanting transparency, she obviously is transparent about her lack of honesty in supporting what the people have a right to know about.

That"hit" Hellary made about the former Miss Universe during the debate got mainscream media titillated..
well, it may backfire on her.. She primed the pump to get that 20-year-old situation into the debate at the end, but what "fact checkers" found was that Trump was actually a "good guy" in saving the young woman's tit;e by not letting the organization fire her, Of course, the more the "fact checkers" "checked", the worse it got for Machado as a  criminal history has emerged.. Maybe Machado might want to sure Hellary now.

Who is Ann Hardman? She's the Democrat candidate for Clerk of Superior Clerk here in Columbus, but who is she? Yesterday, I was looking into her residency listed on her filings with the Board of Elections and found unusual "stuff" about it. Her listed residency belongs to someone else and there appeared to be a sale  of such, but was alerted by a local realtor, such sale had fallen through. Today, I ran a "google" and found her listed at another residence (https://nuwber.com/person/563a46bae0cd4806cb116478 )  (5035 Hawk's Ridge Dr) which is in our tax database as being owned by a NY firm (LC Strategic Realty, LLC 238 HOPKINS DR    WILLIAMSVILLE, NY 14221 ) or (8685 Sheridan Drive Williamsville, NY 1422) depending on whether you use our tax database or its website. Anyway. after more research, I found this website regarding her vocation - http://www.churchfinder.com/churches/tx/unknown/faith-worship-center-international/ann-l-hardman , and wonder where she can fit a full time job as Superior Court Clerk into her already full time jobs list. Her husn=band seems pretty preoccupied as well with "Mount of Transfiguration - Transforming Minds and Developing Champions - Pastor Norman Hardman - Opelika Alabama Church  (http://www.motchurch.org/)

Me, I'm writing in (actually "typing" in) for a better qualified candidate who can run the office full time.. Attorney Mike Garner.

Arcan Cetin...the Turkey Islamist shooter at that Washington Mall. well, it turns out he is not a US citizen but had voted in 3 elections. So much for the "honor system" in registering to vote..demand that photo ID and proof of citizenship be employed in every state for registering and verifiable government issued photo ID to vote!

A Congressional Committee wants to lower the boom on Wells Fargo's chief executive but why not Hellary as well. Both have committed criminal acts.

Went to a beautiful event yesterday..the 5th Annual Volunteer Faith Community and Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon held at First Baptist Church.. it's an outreach program of the Sheriff's Office, Columbus Clergy, and the JAIL/SafeHouse Ministries founded by Chaplain Neil Richardson. Sheriff Darr was there..where was Mayor TomLYINGson?

Online story: "In response to a lawsuit filed earlier this month, Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp has said that certain Georgians who had their voter-registration applications rejected in 2015 and 2016 will be able to cast ballots in the Nov. 8 presidential and general election." -- Wait a minute.. how can this be! Just yesterday it was disclosed the Washington "mall shooter" who was not a citizen of the US was allowed to register and vote in Washington elections during the last 3 voting cycles. Proof of US Citizenship and GA residency MUST be demanded!


L-E headline: "PEACHTREE MALL * Alleged gang members indicted in mall killing" -- Whoa! Wait minute we don't have gangs in Columbus.. Mayor TomLYINGson said so! .. Oh...... hmmm, she also says we can keep our "tax freeze" if we like it.. and vote for her idea to repeal the Constitutional Amendment that guarantees all citizens are treated equally and fairly.

You know.. I'm beginning to understand her insistence of building that $244,000.00 toilet on the RiverWalk.. she needs a place to flush her promises down.

L-E headline: "CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVERWALK * RiverWalk public art poem dedicated" --  I'm sure it will be an enjoyable sight,, and site for years to come, but I do have a question.. were the steel letters made in the US, Columbus, GA preferably.. say Golden Foundry, or were they made in the China facility that makes the Char Broil Grills that used to be made here in Columbus?

TomLYINGson Informed Voter's L-E "soundoff": "If you are enjoying the low property taxes you have and have no concern about new homebuyers, you are probably a Republican." -- Well, if you are promoting a "YES vote to repeal the protective Constitutional Amendment, you have either figured out how you will make money off of other people's misery, or... or.. either work for or fear repercussion of Mayor TomLYINGson.

L-E headline/story: "McBride Elementary receives national award *  One school in the Columbus area is among the 329 in the United States to be named a 2016 National Blue Ribbon School. * McBride Elementary School of Fort Benning is on the prestigious roll call U.S. Secretary of Education John King announced." -- Wow, until the second sentence, I thought maybe Columbuis had an elementary school we just hadn't know about.. Congrats to Ft Benning.. Hey MCSB.. next time you're looking for a new Superintendent, maybe you should look closer to home than Florida.

L-E headline: "‘The Price is Right Live!’ is coming to the RiverCenter * Tickets for “The Price is Right Live!” at the River-Center for the Performing Arts go on sale today." -- Oooops, my bad.. thought Hellary was gathering her Foundation donors for one last session while she's still in the running.

L-E story: "Columbus Council on Tuesday approved spending about $300,000 in Home Investment Partnership Program funds to help poor people afford a place to live. * Neighborworks Columbus Inc. will partner with the city to help low-income people get into decent, safe, and sanitary housing in Columbus." --

And what are these people going to do when the tax freeze is repealed and they get hit with annual tax increases they haven't budgeted?

L-E headline/story: "Executive resigns amid ‘TSYS 20/20’ changes * Shlonsky’s resignation comes with TSYS carrying out a major restructuring called “TSYS 20/20,” with the company not disclosing the number of job cuts taking place across the company. Employees were notified about two months ago, with the restructuring expected to be completed at the end of the July-September quarter." -- Hmmm..Maybe TSYS execs might want to renege on voting "YES on the repeal of the FREEZE amendment.. a lot of the "downsized" employees won't be able to take annual tax raises on less stable jobs.
