From the "Forrest Gump: Stupid is as stupid does" department - Online headline: Berlin Christmas market truck attack: Police eye terrorism link" -- Good grief.. terrorism stares mainscream media straight in the eye and mainscream media gives terrorism the benefit of the doubt..

---
As if you need another example of " "Forrest Gump: Stupid is as stupid does" department - The Electoral College cast their votes yesterday.. right in line with our Constitution's directions. Guess what.. Trump won... yet there are mainscream media sources that will look for another avenue to deny Hellary lost.

---
How ironic.. after all the hubbub about Electoral College voters defecting... and Trump lost 2 ...on top of that Hellary lost 5!...including 1 to Faith Spotted Eagle.

---
With the reports of Electoral College voters receiving death and/or injury threats if they cast their votes for Trump, where is the DOJ tracking down such threat senders and prosecuting them for civil/voters' rights violations?

---
You know, it's shameful for any duly elected Congressperson, who has sworn to uphold the Constitution , to contest the very system that oversaw his/her election.

---
You know, mainscream media just lost, and even now deny, the fact that Trump supporters ARE mainstream America.

---
Online story: "MOSCOW, Dec 19 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said on Monday that the killing of Russia's ambassador to Turkey was a despicable provocation aimed at spoiling Russia-Turkey ties and derailing Moscow's attempts to find, with Iran and Turkey, a solution for the Syria crisis. * He heaped praise on the murdered Russian ambassador, Andrei Karlov, who was shot in the back and killed as he gave a speech at an Ankara art gallery, and made clear that Moscow's response to his assassination would be robust." -- Good grief.. If it was the American Ambassador who was assassinated, Obama would have apologized for the ambassador getting in the way of the bullet..

---
Michelle Obama had a parting interview with Oprah.. in it Michelle said "her anonymity was her biggest sacrifice for serving as first lady of the United States. For Obama, she misses the simple, everyday activities that so many Americans take for granted." -- Hmmm like "his and hers" Air Force 1s for vacationing.. or an entourage of 20 plus attendants"

---
From above story - Michelle also "spoke candidly about the past election, saying that the whole process was a "painful" experience. * "You know, this past election was challenging for me as a -- as a citizen. To watch and experience. It was painful." The first lady also acknowledged that she ultimately went to sleep not knowing the outcome of the election." -- What BS! Just because no news source called it before 3:00 AM doesn't mean she didn't "know" the outcome.. speaking of 3:00 AM.. wish I'd been a fly-on-the-wall when Hellary answered THAT phone call!

---
Just listened to a Democrat spinmeister who said the Republicans were now in control "of everything" so he expects the Republicans have to produce . What he didn't say was that he would help.

---
Online headline: "Bill Clinton: 'One thing' Trump knows 'is how to get angry, white men to vote for him'_ - Good grief.. oh.. like men who think Clinton is a menace to all men's wives and daughters? A lot of those votes were not just for Trump, but against letting Slick Willie back into the White House.

---
Online story: "HONOLULU, Dec 19 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama shortened the prison sentences for 153 convicts, mainly low-level drug offenders, and pardoned 78 others, the White House said on Monday.Obama has commuted the sentences of 1,176 federal prisoners, the White House said, as part of a push to reduce the number of people serving long sentences for non-violent drug offenses. "-- Good grief.. and a lot of those "low-level/non-violent drug offenders" plea bargained out the violent aspects of their charges..

---
Wow..have you noticed how much toilet paper just jumped in price in the last two weeks?..Guess supply cannot keep up with all the liberal/mainscream media crap being dumped into the news cycles.

---
We bought a wonderful "Enchanted Princess" play house from Sam's for Santa to give to our granddaughter. It wasn't inexpensive to begin with, but it took me 4 hours and 30 minutes for me to assemble it Sunday afternoon, and I have a lifetime of experience in handling tools and reading directions. This is a head's up for others who are thinking they can put it together in 30 minutes Christmas Eve after the kids get to bed.

---
Online headline/story: "GM says will shut five US plants in January to adjust supply *  In November, GM announced the layoff of about 2,000 workers with the suspension of third shifts at the Lordstown and Lansing Grand River plants, also in January." -- So Government Motors, which never fully paid back the American taxpayers for the "loans" Obama gave them, announced all this AFTER the election...Guess the Democrats didn't want Trump to win with 535 Electoral votes to 3.. (hey, the 3 wrongfully given to Washington, DC are always going to vote for Democrats)

---
Online headline: "Georgia's Unemployment Rate Rose Slightly In November" -- Good grief.. mainscream media just cannot grasp the "hope" in the air after Trump won.. The unemployment rise is because, in spite of companies hiring temporary employees for the holidays, more people were out looking for jobs now that Trump is going to be president. There are two categories of returning job seekers.. those with hope that a successful president will generate a successful economy, and those habitual non-workers who see that they will HAVE to go back to work after January 20th.. anyway.

---
L-E editorial content: "Almost three months after a fateful closed session of Columbus Council in which substantial pay raises for city officials were discussed, debated and ultimately rescinded, the public knows little more about the episode now than then. *  Though there is reportedly an electronic recording of that meeting, City Attorney Clifton Fay said the recording, unlike the minutes, is not public record. Tomlinson also said the recording is not a “legally required record.”" --  "Tomlinson ..said the recording is not a legally required record"? You know.. is it really about it being a "required record" or is it about Tom-LYING-son's desire to conceal the truth when transparency would benefit everyone else?

The Columbus Consolidated Government just published it's required report on the 1999 SPLOST projects' update. Lot's of question abound, but one that really catches my eye is that there was $56,000,000.00 worth of "Roads" projects voted in, and that was in 1999 dollars.. now we see that the City has let $3,000,000.00 of that just rot in devaluation in an account. Why? Our roads are in the worst shape I can remember since Red McDaniel first got elected in the 1970's.. now we have no Red McDaniel to fight for us and his replacement is more interested in raising out taxes than in raising our road quality.
