From the "Comey said what" department - Online headline/story: "James Comey created records of 'improper' phone calls and meetings he had with Trump * Former FBI director James Comey reportedly created records of interactions he had with President Trump which he deemed "improper efforts to influence an ongoing investigation," according to a New York Times report *  Comey's memo on his February meeting with Trump was two pages long and highly detailed, officials told the Washington Post.* The former FBI director has a long history of maintaining extensive notes on his interactions." -- To start with.. are the NYT and the WaPo each other's "source"? "the former director has a long history of maintaining EXTENSIVE notes on his interactions"?  Wait a minute,, Comey is the guy that said no record of the Hellary interviews were made. Hmmm..talk about needing to engage a "Special Prosecutor", no telling what Comey has stashed away on Hellary..for his private gain..

You know.. mainscream media and Democrats yawned when Comey said no recordings/records were kept during the Hellary e-mail scandal investigation, yet now mainscream media and Democrats  are willing.. no .. eager.. to dive into what Comey describes as extensive notes of Trump meetings... don't ever again tell me... even imply.. that there's not a "double standard" in mainscream media and Democrats...

Online story: "A cyclist riding in New Orleans got hit by a stray bullet from a shooting nearby ... and the whole thing was caught on video. * Christopher Weiss was cruising along with his cycling club in NOLA, when all of a sudden he shrieked in pain and had to pull over. As it turns out ... he'd been shot." -- You know.. I can imagine this occurring along Mayor Tom-LYING-son's Dragonfly Trail as well.

HuffPOOPOO headline/story: "Tim Allen lashes out at ABC after 'Last Man Standing' cancellation: 'Stunned and blindsided' *  "We make tough calls and cancel shows that we otherwise would have loved to stay on the air. That's the job," Dungey said. "But I canceled 'Last Man Standing' for the same business and scheduling reasons that I canceled 'The Real O'Neals,' 'Dr. Ken,' 'The Catch' and 'American Crime.'" * Allen's sitcom consistently performed well on the network, delivering 8 million viewers on Friday nights. However, Dungey explained, the network decided to eliminate comedies from Friday night programming." --  Canceled for the same business/scheduling reasons as 'The Real O'Neals,' 'Dr. Ken,' 'The Catch' and 'American Crime? I don't think so.. I did watch :Dr Ken a couple of times as it followed "Last Man Standing", but soon learned to change channels as soon as "LMS" ended.. For 6 seasons, we enjoyed "LMS".. for ever how long :Dr Ken" was on, we ignored it.. "LMS" was excellent entertainment, and "Dr Ken" was inane crap.

WRBL 3 TV headline/story: "Mayor Tomlinson announces bike sharing program * The mayor explained how bike sharing works. * “These are gonna be opportunities for people to come by with their smart phones, rent bikes for the first thirty minutes free. So if you don’t have a bike, or it’s not convenient for you to bring your bike with yo, you can get one down here, ride one around on a Saturday, a Sunday afternoon..no particular shop has to be open. You can just access that bike and go and ride for a bit and come on back,” says Teresa Tomlinson. * The mayor says the exact locations for the Columbus bike shares will be released at a later date." -- How about Mayor Tom-LYING-son announcing whether the City of Columbus is going to get cash-positive revenue from this venture she obviously has been involved with promoting while paid by taxpayers.

Of course.. it's going to be interesting when phone thieves use 'other people's phones" to unlock a bicycle and not return it.

The Monday School Board decision to reject Lewis's Camelot plans ....clearly have future implications.... 1 being that Dr. Lewis MUST find a solution for the problem from within our known resources, and 2, the Board does not need to offer any contract extensions to Lewis until he does.

---
You know, Dr Lewis says he has worked for 18 months on the alternative classroom needs. My questions (in no certain order) are..1 - why wasn't this "need" part of the SPLOST proposals, 2 - who else within the school system knew Lewis was doing so, 3 - were there other companies conferred with for this "solution", 4 - were there documented meetings within the school system to address local solutions, 5 - why wasn't this issue mentioned during the last election season, 6 - how much money did Camelot (and others, if any) spend "wining and dining" Lewis (and possibly others).

With all the secrets and information WikiLeaks had extracted from Hellary's illegal home servers, who says anything Trump said to the Russian Ambassadors wasn't already known, and Trump's confirmation just cemented his openess to be a good friend and ally, and create better relations with Russia for the future.

WLTZ TV headline/story: "South Columbus residents live in Third World Conditions *PARKWOOD MOBILE HOMES CITED 31 TIMES BY INSPECTIONS SINCE 2011 * The company is registered to a PO Box in Doylestown PA but former Army officer and local attorney * Chris Meacham is listed as a registered agent for the company. * Miraculously , Meacham told First News he didn’t know his own client * saying he couldn’t name any people associated with Parkwood." "Meacham... saying he COULDN'T name any people associated with Parkwood"? WOULDN"T is more like it! Why not ask Meacham who signs the check from Parkwood he gets monthly... What's even more disturbing is the lack of monitoring of our Tax Assessor's office, and Mayor Tom-LYING-son.. Parkwood paid $1,600,000.00 to a prominent Columbus businessman for the complex in 2011, yet the whole property  id assessed on a value of only $375,037.00

Astute L-E "soundoff": "I think it’s time to require an IQ verification before a Sound Off is published." -- Even better would be to have an IQ and BIAS reveal of the editor who selects what will make "soundoff"...

 

From the "proof of the above item"department - LIV's L-E "soundoff": "Garrett Walker is becoming a great councilor. He doesn’t seem to be a puppet. He has a mind of his own." Good grief.. he sits in Red McDaniels old seat, and Red McDaniels he ain't.. driving around town and seeing how bad the roads are reveal this fact pretty quick.. Even though the Whitesville Road section between Veterans and Airport Thruway has recently been repaved, there's already a sunken manhole cover that will shake the bumper off of cars...

L-E story: "Uptown Columbus Inc., the organization steering the redevelopment of the downtown area, will have to continue its mission without financial support from the city — at least for now. *  Mayor Teresa Tomlinson eliminated the nonprofit’s annual subsidy in her fiscal year 2018 recommended budget, along with funding for other service and cultural organizations such as the Naval Museum and Keep Columbus Beautiful." -- Don't ever say I don't agree with Mayor Tom-LYING-son on anything..but she hasn't gone far enough.. she needs to sell off the Liberty Apartments "the City" bought to bail out a certain church/pastor, stop the 3-mils of property tax paid in homage to Columbus Regional since Columbus Regional has partnered up with Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, and cut off the City funding to the Chamber. Oh. and start charging the Aquacenter users enough in fees to make the operation revenue positive.

L-E story: "Prosecutors dropped robbery and assault charges against a Columbus man Tuesday when victims didn’t recognize him as the gunman who last year took $1,600 and a gold necklace near Lakebottom Park. * C******** L*** C******* had been facing two counts of aggravated assault and obstructing police and one count each of armed robbery, using a gun to commit a crime, being a convicted felon with a gun, possessing cocaine with the intent to distribute it and possessing hydrocodone. * When witnesses viewing C*******’s videotaped police interview could not identify him as the man who on Feb. 16, 2016, pointed a silver semiautomatic handgun at them before taking the cash and necklace, prosecutors struck a deal for him to plead guilty only to the felony drug possession and misdemeanor obstruction charges." -- Wait a minute.. what about wrongful possession of a gun by a convicted felon!

L-E headline/story: "7,000 birds seized in Los Angeles County raid * Some 7,000 birds were seized in Los Angeles County in one of the largest raids of illegal cockfighting in U.S. history, authorities said Tuesday. * About 100 sheriff’s deputies conducted the raid Monday in a remote area northwest of Los Angeles, authorities said at a news conference. The birds, goats and about 50 guard dogs were turned over to animal control officials. * About 10 people were detained, including the property owners, sheriff’s Sgt. Bob Boese said, adding that arrests will be made after detectives and prosecutors determine which laws were broken." -- Wonder what the Las Vegas odds on the over/under number of illegal aliens involved is?

From the "should the Chamber be learning something from Trump" department - L-E headline: "Columbus chamber names its top two economic projects of the year" -- Good grief.. if the Chamber has not locked these two "projects" into iron-clad commitments, why would it announce to other cities that these "projects" are in play? If they are already "locked in" then they aren't projects.
