Last night, about 7:30, I decided to pull for Gonzaga.. in spite of my family's strong connection with UNC.. UNC was my Dad's school.. as it was for my Uncle Hal, my brother, Tippy and his wife's (a direct descendent of Hinton James - and you Carolina alum know that name well), and two of my nephews.. I am also pulling for the DOJ to open an investigation of the NCAA for offering and ultimatum bribe, and one for the North Carolina Legislature for accepting such. No organization should have that kind of power in making/overturning laws based ob financial issues.

Can you believe the NHL owners? Voting not to participate in the 2018 Winter Olympics because it disriupts their season for 4 weeks? How unpatriotic... to snub your county's and your patrons' pride.. and your players' opportunity to participate in one of the greatest sports events in the world.. Let's start campaigning that when the US next hosts the Winter Olympics, either cancel hockey, or prohibit the players from the NHL from consideration.

HuffPOOPOO story: "Newly released financial disclosure documents show while lawyer James Burnham worked for law firm Jones Day, he represented a man from Saudi Arabia who was arrested for trying to build a bomb.  * Burnham also disclosed that last year he received payments for representing Donald Trump's campaign, Virginia governor Bob McDonnell, the Republican National Committee and Mitt Romney's presidential campaign committee." -- Well, as Mel Allen might say, "Well, how bout that." Can you imagine a lawyer being somewhat amoral, and representing the best interest of whoever is paying him/her? Well, "how bout" remembering that the next time one wants your vote for political office..

From the "libs just will not let it go... nor remember how silent they were when it happened to their own" department - Online headline story: "A Trump associate reportedly set up a secret meeting to establish a back-channel between Trump and Moscow * Days before President Donald Trump's inauguration, Blackwater founder Erik Prince met with a Russian close to President Vladimir Putin in the Seychelles islands to create a communication back-channel between Trump and Russia, according to The Washington Post. * Prince is known to have close connections to the Trump administration. He donated $250,000 to support the Trump campaign last year, has close ties to Bannon, is the brother of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos," -- Good grief.. what. other than twiddle their thumbs, did mainscream media do in regards to Hillary's brothers, Tony and Hugh, or Slick Willie's brother Roger, or heaven forbid Jimmy Carter's brother, Billy?

Online story: "Florida Governor Rick Scott on Monday removed a prosecutor from 21 murder cases in the Orlando area because she has said she would not seek the death penalty during her tenure. * The Republican governor previously took Aramis Ayala, the elected prosecutor in central Florida's Ninth Judicial Circuit, off the case of a man accused of killing an Orlando police officer after she refused to consider capital punishment." -- Good grief.. she got elected with the huge financial backing of George Soros, and her husband is a convicted drug conspirator and check counterfeiter.. and now wants to override the laws of Florida by refusing to seek the death penalty in even the worse of cases.. perhaps a recall move is the better one.

What is wrong with the L-E.. another day passes without commentary about Russell Henley's win at the Shell Houston Open Golf Championship..and how connected Russell Henley is with the state and community. Henley is a UGA alumnus, and his bride is a Columbus native, and daughter of a prominent Real Estate Broker..and that she, Teil Duncan Henley is a recognized and accomplished artist on her own. Hey Chuck Williams.. I thought you said "facts matter"...
HuffPOOPOO headline: "Twitter is ignited by Melania Trump's official portrait as first lady" -- Good grief.. can you imagine the portrait of "First Lady Bill"? How about Hellary as president? I guess the main problem libs have with Melania's portrait is that she's a beautiful woman.

From the "Algore's worst nightmare" department - HuffPOOPOO  story: "Could Global warming actually boost animal life in the Arctic waters? * Researchers from the University of Denmark are touting new findings that show warmer conditions have produced a larger number of life-sustaining "melt ponds" in Arctic waters. * The scientists higher global temperatures are actually helping provide food for marine creatures." -- No, this has not triggered rigor mortis in Algore.. that's how he always looks...

HuffPOOPOO story: "Democratic lawmakers are looking to curb President Trump's aggressive immigration crackdown by barring federal immigration enforcement at courthouses, school bus stops, and other locations where undocumented residents remain targets for deportation." -- Whatta wimp grandstand play by Democrats.. besodes. America would be better off.. and it's something that actually could pass in the House, is to bar Democrats from working in Washington.

From the "let's imply that  Trump is warmongering" department - Online headline/story: "Trump will allow immigrants to obtain citizenship through military service *  A Defense Department official says that the U.S. military will continue to welcome noncitizen recruits and that the Trump administration also will continue a long-standing policy that allows members of the military and their families a pathway to citizenship for their service. * “Today's service members are eligible for expedited citizenship under a July 2002 executive order and the military services have worked closely with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to streamline citizenship processing for service members,” Lt. Col. Myles Caggins said last week in an email to Fox News. " -- You know.. most people read nothing but the headlines then assume what the article is about.. No, Trump is not saying illegal aliens can prove their merit by offering to die for America..the truth is that "noncitizens" can speed up the citizenship process by serving in our military (if they can pass muster/vetting) to get in. Oh.. just a note: Lt Col Caggins is the son of Col (Ret) Miles Caggins, Jr who later served in and retired from the MCSD administration..

Now that Susan Rice.. Obama's head of the NSA, has been "outed": as the person who called for the "unmasking" of Americans' names on security matters, is.. no, can there be any doubt left that Obama himself is responsible for hacking into Trump's campaign matters?

Online headline/story: "One-humped beauties take the stage in Saudi Arabia * It's a beauty pageant for camels in Saudi Arabia. * More than 50,000 camels participating in the country's annual King Abdulaziz camel festival this month. * This year's prize money: a record 115 million riyals, equivalent to 31 million dollars." -- Hmm.. it's official.. Islamists value camels more than women!

Correction: Yesterday I mentioned that Ivy League schools had been the recipient of some $26 BILLION in tax dollars over a 5 year period.. My source was apparently WRONG.. it's more like $41 BILLION! According to a report Opens a New Window. compiled by the non-profit group Open the Books, America's Ivy League colleges’ payments and entitlements cost taxpayers more than $41 billion over a six-year period from fiscal year 2010 to fiscal year 2015. This is equivalent to $120,000 per student in government aid or $6.93 billion per year. These are universities with HUGE endowments from alumni, and they still siphon tax dolars that could better serve the public education sector. Hey Bernie.. now here's a opportunity to come up with the money to provide "free college education" to your voter base..

Hey, UpChuck Schmoozer..exactly what is a "mainstream" Supreme Court nominee? Either a nominee supports the Constitution or he/she doesn't..Hey, Schmoozer, your job is to make sure all appointees support the Constitution our Founders and voting citizens adopted..YOU are under oath to do so!

I don't know who I should be more PO's at for the struggle to appoint jurist Neil Gorsuch as a new Supreme Court Justice..the current Democrats in general or the Republicans who supported Obama candidates Kagan and Sotomayor which has made our Supreme Court so vulnerable to Socialist decisions.
