Spring has Sprung!

---
From the "mainscream polls still use Common Crap Math" department: HuffPOOPOO headline story: "Poll: President Trump's approval rating sinks to lowest point ever * At 37 percent, Trump's approval is now at the lowest point of his presidency so far, according to the latest Gallup poll. His previous bottom number was 38 percent, which Trump hit back in mid February. *  To put Trump's numbers in perspective, at the same point during his first term, President Obama's approval rating was between 62 and 63 percent, according to Gallup polling " -- First .. did any of you get a call from Gallop?...Secondly.. what the 37% for Trump vs 62/63 for Obama really mean is Gallop respondents are comparing Trump's efforts of good work with the Obama's having a good time.. excuse me,, Oh, and the only poll, Rasmussen daily tracking poll, has Trump's approval rating at 48%..and Rasmussen was the only major poll that predicted Trump's win. (Of course, you all know the Breakfast Club predicted Trump winning even before Rasmussen).

I tell you what.. as long as the liberals gang up on Trump, and Trump keeps doing what he's doing to "Make America Great Again, the Democrats are slowly committing political hari kari.

You know..once you remove the peel, what it all boils down to is that 00bamaCRAP was a mandated insurance scam....not a healthcare plan.

Online headline: "Federal government solicits design proposals for border wall with Mexico" -- 30 feet tall.. projected to be upwards of $25 Billion.. sounds like a bargain to me whether Mexico pays for it directly or indirectly.


From  FactCheck.org comments about the annual taxpayer costs of illegal aliens:

"For those who want more, we take on each of the e-mail’s claims in order:

1. "$11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year."
This item is completely false. The link given to "verify" the claim actually leads to an issue brief by the conservative Federation for American Immigration Reform. But the FAIR brief says nothing of the sort. It says: "Each year, state governments spend an estimated $11 billion to $22 billion to provide welfare to immigrants." That’s welfare payments in 2001 to all immigrants – both legal and illegal – plus households including U.S. citizens if they are headed by a person who was born outside the United States

This is based on 2001.. it's now 2017 so imagine the influx since - "That's the welfare payments in 2001 to0 all immigrants - both legal and illegal - plus households including U.S. citizens if they are headed by a person who was born outside the United States" -- You know.. taxpayer funded welfare payments should not be given non-citizens.. whether legally or illegally in the US.. even potential. and especially obvious "marriages of  convenience" to gain/extend an illegal aliens stay in America.

From the "blown out of proportion" department - HuffPOOPOO headline/story: "US applications for New Zealand citizenship skyrocket in wake of Trump's presidency *  American applications for New Zealand citizenship have jumped up by 70 percent, according to immigration records obtained by the Associated Press. * In October 2016, just before Trump was elected, the website received only 305 citizenship-related visits. Post-win in November 2016, that number jumped up to 4,146." Good grief.. 4,146 fewer liberals leaving  here won't even disturb the surface of box of fresh cat litter..but it's a good start!

---
Online headline: "Bill Maher calls Rachel Maddow's Trump tax scoop 'a big nothing burger'" -- Good grief,, Rachel Maddow was "a big nothing burger" BEFORE the Trump tax form reveal.. but.. so is.
/was Bill Maher.. and, for that matter, all the liberal media anchors that are use to dealing with "facts" they create that go unchallenged within the mainscream media world, versus FACTS that are on verifiable documents.

---
HuffPOOPOO headline: "Hillary Clinton says she's 'ready to come out of the woods' as she hints at political future *  During remarks to the Society for Irish Women's annual St. Patrick's Day dinner, she admitted it was tempting to stay tucked away from the limelight, but said she knew she had to fight for the causes she believes in." -- "causes she believes in"? Good grief.. who would BELIEVE she actually would tell the truth about anything she says she "believes in"?

L-E story:
COLUMBUS FATALITIES

Columbus so far in 2017 has had 10 fatalities and 11,558 crashes.

In 2016, it had 27 deaths and 12,198 wrecks.

In 2015, it had 15 deaths and 12,450 wrecks.

In 2014, it had 22 deaths and 11,967 wrecks.

In 2013, it had 14 deaths and 12,121 wrecks.

In 2012, it had 24 deaths and 11,558 wrecks.

Source: Sgt. Chris Anderson, Columbus Police Department.

Will someone verify the figure of 11,558 being the number of crashes in 2 1/2 months versus similar figures for 12 months in each of the last 5 years? On this track, Columbus would end up with over 55,000 crashes. I wonder if the figure for 2012 was erroneously transposed to reflect the 2017 crashes.. It's more than coincidental that the two figures are identical.

From the "perpetual damages caused by extended Kool-Aid drinking" department - Uber-LIV's L-E "soundoff": "The last time The White House and Oval Office were this defiled and soiled was during the War of 1812, when the Brits burned the place to the ground." -- You know, in liberalese speak..this makes sense .. Obama lying nor Slick Willie's sodomy in the Oval Office are not considered defiling or soiling the hallowed grounds of the White House..

---
L-E headline/story: "Stolen bicycle saga comes to a happy ending * My (Mike Owen) wife’s beloved bicycle, Miss Ruby as she’s known, once was lost, but now she’s found." -- While all of us are glad to know that our friend's bike has been recovered, was the story "news/column worthy"? Now that the "world" outside the biking community  KNOWS that Specialized Ruby bicycles are "pricey" ( a quick I-net search shows a range of $1300.00-to-$4.500.00 (with electronic gear shifting), thugs along the Dragonfly Trail will definitely be interested in "acquiring" some..

---
L-E headline/content: " EDITORIALS * Recognition that ethical conduct still matters * So when corporate institutions are publicly recognized for doing business in ways that set high standards for integrity, it’s an uplifting reminder that material success and ethical dealings really are compatible, and always ought to be. It’s especially uplifting when two of the most prominent among those institutions are in our own community." -- Hmmm.. guess it's not so important in Dusty Nix's mind that political ethics is probably even more important..where was Dusty's concerns for ethics when the L-E endorsed Hellary for preisent, and when the L-E did not defend Senator Josh McKoon when the state GOP shut JOsh out from the real ethics committee chairmanship?

---
L-E headline: "CHUCK BERRY: 1926-2017 * Legend who defined rock ’n roll dies at 90" -- Chuck Berry.. we loved ya!

---
L-E guest opinion :headLIE": "COMMENTARY * It’s a Muslim ban, any way you slice it * BY CHRISTINE FLOWERS * Philadelphia Daily News" -- You know.. one day, even liberals will stop believing this... to begin with,, it's not a "travel ban".. it's a TEMPORARY "ENTRY into the US ban" for people carrying visas/passports from 6 countries that have a too dysfunctional "government" for US Immigration agents can retrieve any valid information that can verify the background/purpose of their citizens being allowed into America at this point in time.

Oooops.. there goes Villa Nova.. and Duke..... and most of the March Madness office pool entries.

After watching some of Rory McIlroy's tee shots yesterday, I was wondering if the PGA ever tested the golf balls he was playing to make sure his private supply was from the same batch as the USGA tested for product compliance.

---
Online headline: "Will council curb smokin’ in the boy’s room?" -- I quit smoking cigarettes on March 23rd, 1989 shortly before my 42nd birthday. It was a good choice for me. IMHO, it's a good choice for everyone, but that's not my decision.. Council is (excuse the pun) "BUTTing" up against fascism by "choosing" this for everyone.. I'm going to be real curious how Council interprets smoking tobacco vs smoking marijuana and cocaine and e-cigarettes. Council may get a District  9 Fed judge to back up its decision, but I'm sure Council will run up bigger legal fees on this than any other issue we taxpayers have been stuck paying Mayor Tom-LYING-son's legal buddies ....

Oh, and can you see the signs welcoming guests to the bar & grill, and nightclub district.. "Entertainment District.. a Smoke Free Zone.. litter the streets with your BUTTS before entering".

As Robin might explain, "Holy Bragging Rights!: -- Just learned that I'm related to Davy Crockett! I still have my Davy Crockett dinner plate from the 50s and a couple of Davy Crockett records,  Ancestral site, Genie, just connected "us"..Oh, I wished I'd known this back in the 50s   this and  learning in the 80s that my great-great uncle, John Lee Hurst rode with Billy the Kid for a spell.

I hate it when mainscream media focuses on "seeing" evidence about Trump being under surveillance.. mainscream media still doesn't hold Hellary responsible for her minions destroying hard drives, computers, or cellphones to cover up her e-mail trails.

I really wonder if the real purpose of "Together 2016/17" is mainly to keep the L-E financially afloat so it can keep defending the MCSD and Mayor Tom-LYING-son's liberal projects.. I cannot remember a day this year that the L-E hasn't had one of Together 2016/17's ads.
