Since N.A.T.O. is in the mainscream media "news". I did a little looking...NATO now has 28 members, but if you parse N.A.T.O, it's an acronym for North Atlantic Treaty Organization. My logic says that the North Atlantic ocean should be a common bond for membership.. Only 12 of those 28 are in contact with the North Atlantic.. Since when is an organization that has more non-common bond members  really a purposeful... useful.. organization?

I am tired of the phrases, "we can "see" no evidence" and "there is no evidence".. They are carefully stated "sound bytes".. sorta like Bill Clinton saying , "it depends on how you define IS". In the traditional political world, anything that leaves "seeable evidence" is avoided at all cost.. or destroyed by taking a hammer to the hard drives and cellphones.

First, why did Congressman Devin Nunes, R-CAgive Rep. Schiff, D-CA, the investigation floor for an uninterrupted 15 minutes? Secondly, Schiff's claim that Russia undermined Hellary's campaign by releasing information about her various scandals. Hmmm, you know, if Hellary had not PARTICIPATED in those scandals, Russia..or for that matter, US media, those would not even have been an issue.

Oh, since Comey and Rogers are there 'under oath' to tell the truth, why wasn't Rep. Schiff sworn in before giving his 15 minute tirade of insinuations?

---
You know, the only obvious discovery during the intelligence investigation is that intelligence is not a prerequisite of being a Democrat Congressperson.

---
Democrats were insistent in asking Comey and Rogers about whether the Russians were trying to "hurt" Hellary. What they didn't show was that the Russians were wishing  Hellary wouldn't win more than
whether Trump or Bush or Kasich was the Republican candidate.

---
Apparently Comey lied.. lied about whether any Republican e-mails/documents were gleaned by hacking. Here is a site that has posted several Republican exchanges that were hacked: http://archive.is/jmZse

Comey pulled a "Janet Reno" ( Clinton couldn't fire her and risk her revealing anything).. He's going to keep his job now, because if Trump "fires him", mainscream media will focus continuously on that issue for as long as Trump leads this country.

L-E story: "Muscogee County School Board members are mostly mum about allegations of student abuse against the company to whom the superintendent wants to award a $6.4 million contract to run alternative education programs. *  ▪ The AIM program (Achievement, Integrity and Maturity) currently at Edgewood, annually serving 400-500 students in grades 3-12 temporarily removed from their assigned school because of severe violations of the district’s behavior code. * and adding grades K-2." -- You know, paying $6.400,000 to babysit 500 kids is $12,800.00 per child, and MORE than is spent per child that behaves. (and it's $16,000.00 per child if there are only 400 in AIM). Oh... why are kids in K-2 being added? If a child that age is a severe discipline problem, then the child is not ready for school and community interaction. Send the child back to the parents !


From above story: "The Ledger-Enquirer tried to contact officials at the five school districts where Camelot staffers allegedly abused students. Two were reached for comment by Monday, and both expressed only positive comments about the company."  - - Good grief.. what school official is going to say ANYTHING negative to any "reporter" about a contractor who works for the school system!  It's sorta like asking a nurse at a hospital about whether a doctor is "good".. The stock comment will be, "Well. he/she's "board certified".

Believe it or not, I just received this via e-mail: "Please enjoy this complimentary daily newsletter from The Washington Post, an award-winning news leader, brought to you by Amazon, working to be Earth's most customer-centric company. If you don't wish to receive this newsletter, click here. " -- I just "clicked" "click here". If the WaPo is a "leader in news", it's a "leader in fake news".

L-E headline: "Comey confirms probe of Trump’s Russia ties" -- Is that what the L-E "got" out of this? Maybe the L-E is like Obama.. it doesn't know anything until after it appears in a newspaper headline..The whole purpose of the Congressional Investigation is to "probe" Comey!

L-E headline/story: "GOVERNMENT CENTER * Mayor’s commission considers 3 options * Option 2 would involve the construction of a 303,306 square-foot facility at a cost of $87 million. Option 3 would cost $95.6 million for a 238,106-square-foot judicial building and a 65,200-square-foot government center." --  You know, local attorney, Democrat, and MCSB member, Frank Myers is right about the Carmike building.. the Committee "estimate" comes in at over $315.00 a square foot for new construction.  The Carmike Building (listed at 65,000 sq ft - but over 80,000 sq ft on the local property tax database) can be bought for $66.00 a square ft (based on 65,000 sq ft). and  it already has a parking deck.

 

Just wish Frank was as diligent on buying overpriced house/property to park 50-60 cars next to Columbus High.. nearly a $1 MILLION for 60 spots is about $833.00 a sq ft per parking space..

LIVs L-E "soundoff": "When someone uses phrases like "Trust me" or "Believe me," I usually don't."  -- Unless, of course. it's mainscrean media, Obama or Hellary speaking their "gospel".

Another LIVs L-E "soundoff": "Global warming is real. Why would anybody make that up? One evening my air-conditioner is on, the next night my heater is on. That’s real enough to me." -- AC-HEAT-AC-Heat.. hmmm.. sounds more like a lib is pulling someone's "chain" like a yo-yo.

L-E headline: "Democratic senators express doubts about Gorsuch" -- That about confirms that Gorsuch is much needed.. Now, why weren't the Democrat Senators concerned about Kagan and Sotomayor?

L-E headline/story: "Tom Brady’s Super Bowl jersey found in Mexico *  Police and the NFL announced Monday that Brady’s jersey, which disappeared from the locker room after the Patriots’ 34-28 overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons last month, had been found in Mexico. The NFL said the jersey was in “possession of a credentialed member of the international media.” *  U.S. and Mexican officials have not yet identified the suspect, but the name of a former newspaper director circulated widely in Mexican news media and on social networks. The newspaper’s owner, Organizacion Editorial Mexicana, issued a statement saying the director had resigned from La Prensa on March 14 for “personal reasons.” The company learned only Monday of his possible involvement in the jersey case, it said." -- Hmm.. TRUMP IS RIGHT! Build that WALL!
