From the "Well, that's not totally true" department - Online story: "US Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Sunday defended his dismissal of a Hawaii federal judge who blocked President Donald Trump's travel ban, suggesting that he was joking when he referred to Hawaii as an "island in the Pacific." * "Nobody has a sense of humor anymore," Sessions said in an interview on "This Week." -- "nobody has a sense of humor anymore"? Only if you're talking about liberals...the loss of their  "sense of humor" is a tipoff of whom you're dealing with..

From the "none are so blind as those who will not.. ....don't want.. to see" department: Online headline/story: "Trump announces 'BIG' rally on the same night as the White House Correspondents Dinner *  Trump's decision to skip the correspondents dinner and hold a rally on the same night as the event may put White House reporters in a tough spot, forcing them to choose between attending the black-tie dinner and covering Trump's rally in Pennsylvania. *  When Trump announced in February that he would be skipping the dinner, White House Correspondents Association president Jeff Mason told CNN that the decision was not surprising, given Trump's contentious relationship with the free press." -- "free press"? Good grief.. most of the correspondents have been so bought and paid for by their wanting to be accepted by liberals and celebrities that they have no morals left as to printing the actual truth.

From the "I really don't care what Mark Cuban says/feels but it's a chance to spike Cuban" department - HuffPOOPOO headline/story: "Mark Cuban grades President Trump's first 100 days *  Billionaire Mark Cuban says he would give President Trump a C-minus for his first 100 days in office." -- "C-minus"?  You know, coming from a guy that I'd give a "F" for because he supported Hellary.. a "C-minus" pretty much is a Magna Cum Laude rating...

From the "the obvious is right in front of him" department - Online headline/story: "March for Science: Bill Nye rallies thousands in DC amid threat of Trump budget cuts * Bill Nye, an engineer and educator known as “the science guy” through his appearances on television, spoke to thousands of enthusiastic marchers in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, declaring that science serves everyone and must be for all. * The framers of the Constitution of the United States, which has become a model for constitutional governments everywhere, included Article One, Section 8, which refers to promoting the progress of science and useful arts," Nye said." -- Hmmm.. you know..no matter how you parse it.. science is above all an industry.. and should pull it's own weight by the populace's response to what science produces of value. The only obligation the US government should have is to include the sciences in the education cycle of its students. Oh, and as to Nye :parsing the 1st Article, Section 8  wording of our Constitution.. Nye did not tell the whole truth.. it reads: "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries". In other words, the Constitution just protects the actual work individuals do on their own time. initiative, and investment.

Online headline: "North Korea threatens to strike US aircraft carrier to show 'military's force'" -- Good grief.. Kim Jong Oooops has enough problems getting his missiles/rockets to leave land and hit the ocean,... how's he going to hit a moving target that has more defenses than he does?

From the "another refute of the claims of their being a "free press/free speech" conundrum " department - Online headline: "UC Berkeley students threaten to sue over Ann Coulter visit" -- Good grief.. now the libs are "thought police".. nothing's been said, and the Berkeley students are gathering in their "safe space" yet offer such not to others.,,,

L-E headline/story: " Is the Aaron Cohn RYDC at capacity?  *  The Muscogee County Sheriff’s Office spends about $200,000 a year transporting local juvenile defendants to and from youth detention centers across the state. That’s according to Maj. Mike Massey, who oversees courts for the sheriff’s office. * When the youths are first arrested, they are transported by Columbus police officers to facilities as far as Crisp County, Macon and Augusta, because there is no room at the local Aaron Cohn Regional Youth Detention Center *  But while investigating the issue, the Ledger-Enquirer discovered a disconnect between state and local law enforcement officials about beds available at the Aaron Cohn RYDC which serves 13 counties."

"while investigating the issue"? Hmm.. first.. did we just read the L-E actually said it "investigated" something on its own.. "pinch me!" I must be dreaming....Somehow, Columbus Taxpayers are getting screwed in this manner.. If "we" are the regional center, and there are beds "open" our county should get priorities fore those beds. From an economic perspective.. wouldn't it be more economical for other counties (which are OBVIOUSLY closer to other area youth detention facilities than Muscogee County) to send their juvies to the centers that our deputies have to transport our to because beds are reserved for other counties that aren't actually using/needing them ?

---
On another issue.. did the MCSD actually realize that the RYDC was named for Judge Cohn when it named a middle school in his honor? You know, I do not think Judge Cohn would have been amused, much less feel honored, if the public was confused about the values of a young person saying he/she attended an Aaron Cohn designated facility, then find out it was the RYDC and not the middle school.

L-E headline: "WINTERFIELD NEIGHBORHOOD * Woodson: ‘This is people saying enough is enough’" -- Well.. it is a start.. now, if we could only get people to say "enough is enough" when voting on Council and School Board members!

L-E headline/story: "Ralston Towers declared unsafe by Columbus code director *  The announcement was made in a March 15 letter by John C. Hudgison, director of Inspections and Code, to the owner of the building, Ralston LLC. The Flemington, N.J.-based owner was given up to 90 days to fix all the fire code violations and to provide Inspections and Code Department and the Department of Fire & Emergency Medical Services with an extensive schedule to remove all fire code violations." -- You know.. the owners should be named.. but more importantly, why is this owned by a person/company in NJ? Absentee management does not have any interest in spending maintenance money beyond what it values the Return on Investment/cash flow, and may just let the 90 days run its course and vacate. To boot, on our tax database, the owner has a Brooklyn, NY address, and get this.. pays ZERO... NADA .. in local property taxes.

L-E headline: "COLUMBUS FACADE * Board needs a timeout to regroup" -- You know.. why even have a Facade Board? With so many properties being owned either by CSU or the State of GA, those building are exempt from sign ordinances/governance by the Columbus Facade Board, so the effectiveness of the Facade Board is pretty much moot.

Keith Ellison is throwing darts at Obama for the failure of the Democratic Party in the 2016 nationwide elections.. I don't disagree... but not with anything but the presidential race. The biggest cause of the Democratic Party losses is attributable to local and state candidates that believed voters were happy with 00bamaCRAP, and political correctness.

I just heard Legacy Chevrolet ad stating Legacy has served Columbus for 25 years..Excuse me, but Bill Heard Chevrolet didn't close until 2008.. someone may be "stretching the truth".. but then again...we are talking about a car salesman.

The French voters have Trumpism on their minds... neither of the runoff candidates are from the predominant parties.. Now it's down to Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron...and Obama wants Macron to win .. heh heh heh

The only things Trumps's "low" polling numbers represent are mainscream media's smear campaign, and that Trump is working hard rather than making the "photo op" tour.

Online headline/story: "Ex-Hawaii gov to Trump: End 'wasteful' rail project that will change beauty of Honolulu *  One of Hawaii’s most well-known governors is appealing to President Trump to end funding for the state’s most notorious government “boondoggle” project. * The controversial 20-mile elevated heavy steel rail system now under construction on Oahu is slated to cost $10 billion or $500 million per mile, former Hawaii Gov. Benjamin Cayetano said, “the most costly rail project in the world.” -- Hmmm.. looks like we "catching" Mayor Tom-LYING-son in ANOTHER lie.. I'm not sure we can calculate the cost of the high speed rail system in California due to California basically trying to bankrupt itself under Democratic Party despotism, but Hawaii is a better comparison.  It's 20 mile route is now costing $500 MILLION (a.k.a. "half a BILLION) per mile. Mayor Tom-LYING-son'e estimate for about $100 mile is $4 Billion.. using Hawaii's experience, we're talking $50 BILLION price tag for a trip to Atlanta that will take less time  in your personal car.

Online story: "DeKalb County elections officials are set to consider whether to open additional early voting sites for Georgia’s 6th District runoff after prominent politicians complained their constituents had no easy access to a polling place." -- Wait a minute,, no Founding Father ever made the claim that "voting would be easy".. people had to travel by foot, carriage/wagon.. or by horseback to get to, usually, one central district polling place on a particular day. If people want their vote to count, then they need to make whatever effort it takes to get to the polls on election day!

Online headline/story: "Ossoff Admits He Misrepresented National Security Credentials * Georgia Democrat held security clearance for just five months, not five years * Ossoff's campaign previously told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Ossoff was given his security clearance after working on Johnson's campaign as a press officer in 2006—failing to disclose that by "after" they meant six years later. * After Ossoff left Johnson's office he moved to Great Britain to attend graduate school and become CEO of an investigative film company that does work for Al Jazeera." -- Good grief.. has lived in England and his girlfriend's apartment, but not in District 6 where he's trying to become it's Congressman.. I'm gonne guess that all the papers dealing with this  are tucked away with Obama's college applications dealing with his residency.

Uber-LIV's L-E "soundoff": "I have always been very proud of our mayor, Teresa Tomlinson, and feel that she has served Columbus well. She should succeed in state politics, because she is more intelligent than the average politician." -- "I've always been very proud of our mayor"? Oh.. I guess Michelle Obama just endorsed Mayor Tom-LYING-son.. either that or Tom-LYING-son probably submitted this herself.. One thing for sure is that the writer is definitely not in the group more intelligent than average politicians..
