First, a moment of silence as he remember.. honor... the memory of those who fought.. and died.. and survived the vicious sneak attack the Japanese inflicted on Pearl Harbor.

Online story: "Muslim Yuriy Alterman carrying a Son of Hamas book has been arrested at Rockefeller Center near the Christmas Tree. He was carrying a can of gas and matches, in addition to the Son of Hamas book."-- This ought to set the record straight.. a Christmas Tree IS a religious symbol/icon of Christianity to Muslims..

What's this stupid argument about "civilian" control of our military being sacred? The President is "THE Commander-in-Chief" and.he should have the best advisor he/she wants. Besides, look at the Generals who have served as Commanders-in-Chief..Washington, Jackson, Grant, Hayes, Pierce, A. Johnson, Arthur, and Harrison.

---
You know, when a General retires, he becomes a civilian.. what's the beef about Mattis?

---
Madonna..a real piece of art..NOT.. said she was really disappointed, felt betrayed, by women who voted for Trump...Hmmm..well, a lot of us felt betrayed by Madonna influencing our coming-of-age daughters with her loose morals.

---
Good grief..Obama says since he stopped "water boarding", his people tell him their intelligence search has not suffered. Of course "his" people tell him that..it's what he wants..no, demands, to hear..In fact, he's relieved every military officer who's ever challenged him.

---
Does it sound as hypocritical to you as me that Obama talks incessantly about being against torture tactics for prisoners of war, yet has no problem torturing us with his piety about it?

---
There was a threat against the subway system in Los Angeles... safety measures are in effect as the FBI determines whether.it is credible or not..Good grief, name anything political coming out of California that is credible.

---
While Obama finishes his apology tour in Hawaii with a Japanese politician, Trump announces a deal with a Japanese BUSINESSMAN that will create 50,000 new jobs in America. Hellary who?

---
Have you seen the billboard on Veterans soliciting Medicaid users to get braces? Excuse me, I can "see" some extreme cases of the need for braces to correct some unusual situation that affects someone's health, but cosmetic applications should not be covered by taxpayers.

---
How can "TV talking heads" even suggest that Hellary lost the election because of the votes Jill Stein got..Let me tell you, any lib who voted for Stein did so because they were not going to vote for Hellary under any circumstances.

---
You know, if Jill Stein were honest about her desires only to weed out improprieties in our voting system, she'd start in California and show if all those Hellary voters were vetted/ID'd before they cast a ballot.

---
What is Bleep Veep Biden thinking...his only value as VP was as the insurance that no one was going to harm Obama and put Biden in the Oval Office.. maybe some Physician's Assistant injected his botox injections too far into his head.

---
Online headline: "Obama says what he'll miss about being president" -- What... the sychophamts and brown-nosing mainscream media?

---
Online headline/story: "US seeks to reassure Beijing after Trump call with Taiwan leader * White House spokesman Josh Earnest said senior National Security Council officials spoke twice with Chinese officials over the weekend to reassure them of Washington's commitment to the "One China" policy and to "reiterate and clarify the continued commitment of the United States to our longstanding China policy."" -- Good grief.. how can any "assurances" from Josh Earnest be an "Assurance".. anybody who's ever listened to Earnest.. knows his words are not in the beast bit "earnest".

---
Online headline/story: "Republican Texas elector says he won't cast ballot for Trump * S*****'s part, he says "I am asked to cast a vote on Dec. 19 for someone who shows daily he is not qualified for the office." -- Yeah... there is a person who is not qualified to vote.. but it's the (_*_) who value's his opinion higher than the American voters' opinion!

---
Online headline: "Country that may not be real pushes for closer ties to US" -- Ooops, my bad... thought mainscream media and libs were talking about their wishes for America..

---
Online headline/story: "Trump says 'cancel order' on new Air Force One from Boeing * "We want Boeing to make a lot of money but not that much money," added Trump, who takes office on Jan. 20." -- Well.. this is the difference between a man who owns his own custom jet knowing about what things cost, and a Community Organizer spending other people's money.


Hmmm .. Boeing was quick to respond that it had only spent $170,000,000.00.. and hadn't got the plane off the drawing table.. I think Boeing should show Congress and the taxpayers what we got for $170,000,000.00. and show where Trump is wrong about estimating final costs to be $4 BILLION!

---
Yesterday, it was announced that there would be College and Career Academy  erected in Chattahoochee County.. with the "mission" to "prepare students for the workforce". I mentioned the fact that I was under the impression that it was the sole purpose of high schools to do this. I guess this just shows that by eliminating the graduation tests, no employer or institute of higher learning can depend on a diploma attesting to all graduates being so prepared.

---
How do you distinguish "fake stories" from real ones when you read where Nancy Pelosi had said that neurosurgeon Dr Ben Carson isn't "qualified" for a government position.

---
I keep thinking about 160 teams playing in 80 bowl games...you know, this is the culmination of a generation who has always gotten "Participation Trophies" regardless of Real World results.

---
Have you heard the liberals "talking point" about Trump's handling the Carrier Corps attempt at sending all of its jobs to Mexico? The libs contend that the " precedence" means every company will "claim" they are going to do the same thing, and get tax cuts. This just shows how out of touch, how business ignorant, how insensitive to middle-class NEEDS the Democratic Party really is, and makes you wonder how any of them ever got elected. Trump's business plan, lower stateside corporate taxes, and penalty taxes for those moving jobs out of America will make American companies WANT to stay and expand, and that, my friends, is how our economy will surge.

L-E story: "World Cup luge races scheduled for Friday at the Whistler Sliding Center have been delayed until Saturday because heavy snow has delayed the delivery of sleds." -- I do hope Algore was the scheduled "starter" for the sled races...

---

L-E headline: "Donna Tompkins defeats John Darr for Muscogee sheriff" -- You know.. I hope the L-E is happy .. happy with the "hit job" it did on Darr.. I pray Columbus is happy one or two years from now if Tompkins stays within the Mayor's budget... and we get hit with state and federal lawsuits for non-compliance to prisoner treatment mandates.

 

---

You know.. Darr won the vote of those who cast their votes on Tuesday... yet could not overtake the margin that voted early at the Citizens Center.. I wonder if having a voting precinct at a government building really is in the best interest of the taxpayers of Columbus.. It's "too convenient" for government workers who are voting on local government personnel..

L-E headline: "Obama defends terrorism strategy before Trump handover" -- Yeah... blah blah blah blah blah

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah .....

L-E headline: "Georgia leads U.S. in executions this year; 9th one is scheduled" -- GA leads with it's 9th execution slated.. Put in perspective, if all 50 states executed 9 violent criminals per year, that would be 450 total.. and some more "perspective" is that 450 is 299 LESS that street deaths in Chicago this year alone! Our courts are not doing the job of making the death sentence a deterrent for others to kill.
