From the "for every step forward, we have to knock Trump back two" department - Headline/story: "Ivanka Trump, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos celebrate Women's History Month by encouraging girls in STEM *  While President Donald Trump in February signed two bills encouraging women in STEM fields through NASA and the National Science Foundation, critics (i.e. libs/mainscream media) noted that he is eliminating funding for NASA's education programs in his 2018 proposed budget." --  Good grief.. Trump is redirecting misused funds into productive ones which will be more effective at getting science/space BACK into interest in our schools.. Space PROJECTS.. not space blabber, create the most effective interest.

From the "libs can fix anything if the right people are in charge and have plenty of other people's money" department - Online headline/story: "Tetris may be the key to ending PTSD *  New research from Europe shows that at least one particular game can do some real good, Tetris. * Turns out it may actually help treat people with post-traumatic stress disorder. That's according to a new study published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry. * Scientists had recent car crash victims play Tetris while awaiting treatment in the hospital. * In the week following, patients who played Tetris were found to have fewer flashbacks than those that didn't." -- Hmmm... Europe.. no less... and with a one week trial of "results" following a car crash.... .. yep.. that sounds like something with "good intentions" libs can celebrate.. But.. what about soldiers, suffering PTSD from war or war injuries of a devastating nature.. you know.. the ones that they aren't sitting up the day/week after an injury because they lost a limb or vision. How the hell can playing Tetris solve their issues?

---
From the "huh? where's the mainscream media indignation" department - HuffPOOPOO headline/story: "Embattled DNC asks all staffers for resignation letters *  Party staffs typically sees major turnover with a new boss, but the mass resignation letters will give Perez a chance to completely remake the DNC's headquarters from scratch after staffing had already reached unusual low following a round of layoffs in December." -- Good grief.. and Trump gets trashed for wanting his own people in place, and Democrats haven't even approved all  his cabinet picks.

---
HuffPOOPOO headline: "Italy could soon offer paid 'menstrual leave'" -- Can't you see this as the lead 2020 Democratic Party campaign issue... except Democrats will want to include transgender/gender confused people to be covered as well.. excuse me, but I'm getting a headache from this.. can I ave a few paid days off as well?

---
From the "rose-colored glasses? how about ones of vision blocking lead lenses?" department -- Online story: "Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., caused a scene at a Manhattan restaurant when he began yelling at a wealthy and well-connected Donald Trump supporter that the POTUS is “a liar.” *  Schumer, the top Senate Democrat, lost his cool on Sunday night at Upper East Side restaurant Sette Mezzo, according to witnesses. * He was dining with friends when he encountered Joseph A. Califano Jr. — the former U.S. secretary of health, education and welfare under President Jimmy Carter and domestic policy adviser to President Lyndon B. Johnson — and his wife, Hilary, who were having a quiet dinner. * Onlookers said Schumer was incensed that Hilary — the daughter of William S. Paley, the founder and chairman of CBS — had voted for Trump, even though her husband, Joseph, is a well-known Democrat. * One witness said of the restaurant rant, “They are a highly respected couple, and Schumer made a scene yelling, ‘She voted for Trump!’ The Califanos left the restaurant, but Schumer followed them outside.” * On the sidewalk, Schumer carried on with his fantastical filibuster: “ ‘How could you vote for Trump? He’s a liar!’ He kept repeating, ‘He’s a liar!’ ”" -- Hmmm.. Trump is a liar"? Compared to Hellary, Trump is a saint with the truth.. Obviously, Unlike George Washington who "couldn't tell a lie", UpChuck Schmoozer cannot tell what a lie is after listening to Hellary and Obama's version of what's "the truth".

---
From the "you won't see this in the HuffPOOPOO" department - Online story: "“It seems he’s woken up the animal spirits,” declared Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JP Morgan. * The economic data agrees. Job growth is booming, far surpassing economists’ expectations. Mining and construction jobs are coming back sooner than expected. Wages are rising faster than expected. * That’s not even mentioning the stock market itself, which has beenrocking and rolling since the election thanks to the so-called “Trump Bump.” -- Hmm, and for that matter, you won't hear UpChuck Schmoozer talk about the growth of his stock portfolio either.

With all the questions raised about the MCSD's desire to bring in a tainted contractor to run an alternative "school" for discipline problem students, where's Lisa Jenkins on the issue.. She noisily campaigned for the last school SPLOST and school board elections on such issues, but is amazingly absent now.

---
There's a list of the top arms/weapons arms/weapon buyers during the last year of Obama's administration: Egypt "bought" $238 MILLION worth, Morocco "bought" $244 MILLION worth, Mexico "bought" $280 MILLION worth, Qatar "bought" $596 MILLION worth, UAE (United Arab Emirate) "bought" $773 MILLION worth, Iraq "bought $893 MILLION worth, and Saudi Arabia bought $1.9 BILLION worth.. That's a total of $4.9 BILLION Obama sold to Muslim nations in 2016 alone!  It's alarming as it is, but even more so when you ask "other than Iraq, what are those countries using these weapons for"? Are any "helping" fight ISIS?

Online story: "You have to admire cyclists. Biking is super environmentally friendly, reduces congestion on already choked urban arteries and has health benefits, too. But if you weren’t already sold on the idea of becoming a two (or three) wheeler, here’s another benefit to add to the list: Cycling can also charge your favorite gadgets." -- Good grief.. can't you see the number of walkers getting run-over and cars being run into by bicyclist texting/talking/selfie-ing as they ride along? Oh, and wait until the street thugs along the local Dragonfly Trail learn that those bicycles can be worth thousands of dollars ... and charge their stolen iPhones as well!

Hey, I thought bicycling was away to get AWAY from the stress of everyday worries and issues...

---
L-E headline/story: "Tips for finding the cheapest airfare * The Auto Club Group, AAA, offers some basic principles when booking your flight that can go a long way in helping you get the most for your money." -- Good grief.. hasn't the AAA been listening to Trump's advice about alerting the "enemy" to your plans in advance? What doesn't the AAA understand that airlines know this and are prepared to bump prices on holiday travel based on increased demands?

---
Savvy L-E "soundoff": "The front page story on the new 344-unit apartment complex should mean needed new revenues for Phenix City as a result of the city’s rental tax ordinance." -- Oh, but let's not forget how much Columbus and Georgia tax dollars were poured (literally) into the Whitewater Course to make this possible...

---
How DOES the Columbus Convention & Visitors Bureau "compute" the economic impact of events that take place in Columbus? In today's L-E is a list of events coming to Columbus this week and the economic impact of each.. Several events with participants of 30-to-100 are projected at bringing in between $22,000.00 to "ZERO dollars.. How can an event of 70 areal PGA members bring in "ZERO" dollars of "economic impact"? The CVCB says that the group won't be using any hotel rooms, so their visit is worthless to the local economy.. guess those PGA members won't be eating, driving .. or heaven forbid, partaking in any shopping or clubbing while in town..

---
From the "maybe we ought to leave out a tiny detail, and nobody will notice" departmemt - L-E story: "His defense attorneys, Mark Shelnutt and William Kendrick, maintained S*** acted within the bounds of the law on Dec. 22, 2013, when he saw H*** point a gun at his friends during a fight atop the rear parking deck of Columbus’ Hardaway Building, 945 Broadway. * After the shooting, the owners blocked public access to the parking deck on weekends." -- One thing left out is that the parking deck is the one now used by the Columbus L-E... I guess the L-E has a hard time printing Mayor Tom-LYING-son's "crime problem.. what crime problem? claims when it's happening outside the L-E's reporters' windows.

---
From the "how pathetic can the L-E get" department - The 2017 Brookstone boys golf team just played in a prestigious invitational golf event at an Atlanta golf complex, and the L-E ran a picture of the 2016 Brookstone golf team! Good grief.. no picture would have been better that running an out-of-date one.

---
L-E headline: "Ford to expand U.S. production of trucks, SUVs" -- Yes! See what the leadership of a business success like Trump does for an economy excoriated by the Obama/Democratic Party ?
 
---
From the "maybe this is exactly what they need " department L-E headline: "Panic spreads in Iraq, Syria as civilians die in U.S. strikes" -- Turn about is fair play in my book, and since Syria and ISIS centers in Iraq have no sympathy for the American and European citizens killed by their "messengers of death". maybe the people of Syria and ISIS-held Iraq will get the message and revolt on jihadist terrorists!
 
---
L-E headline: "Robots winning race to secure American jobs" -- Well, well, well,  the fruits of the Democratic Party and Obama's efforts have come to roost.. All the talk and effort to reward minimal efforst/abilities with a $15.00 minimum wage has brought technology experts to the forefront in creating such robots for repetive job duties.. Fortunately, Trump is out in front creating better jobs for those who make more than a minimum effort in their jobs..
