No wonder Democrat were happy that Republicans repassed 00bamaCRAP.. there's still a "penalty tax" (actually a FINE) for not buying insurance when you have a history of responsibly taking care of your healthcare costs on your own.

---
You know, keeping the "fine" for not buying insurance hurts the whole country.. Insurance companies have no need to work at giving better policy values since they don't have to work as hard to be competitive.

---
I already anticipate that Democrats will campaign in 2018 that they "won" by basically keeping OObamaCRAP. The trouble is, for them. is that none of them actually can campaign on voting FOR keeping it.

---
What's really lost in the mix is that when Pelosi asked Democrats to vote for the Senate rewrite in 2010, 34 Democrats voted "NO", and 00bamaCRAP  was passed by only a 219-212 vote..

Yesterday, I pointed out that GA's new motor-voter registration regulations require applicants/renewals to "opt out" for voter registration, Some no-littles found no problem with this as, I guess, it took away the need to consciously attend their personal decision to register to vote. A couple threw out (unsourced, of course) figures that voter registation fraud was only 1%.. You know, 1% of this nation's over 200 million registered voters would be over 2,000,000 fraudulent voters.. and 2,000,000 fraudulent voters CAN alter America's direction.

Correct me if I'm wrong (well, factual and knowledgeable people only) but as I recall, the Early College Academy in the MCSD was an "alternative school" of sorts and they "numbers" of successes reported have been impressive.. Why then, is Dr. Lewis so insistent on bringing in Camelot? My only reasoning is what I've said before is that 400-450 students will not be included in state testing which will skew the results upward in Lewis' favor without him actually improving anything.

Online headline/story: "Biracial UT pageant winner slammed as 'not black enough' on Twitter * The winner of the Miss Black University of Texas is taking the high road after critics on social media claimed she's “not black enough.” Rachael Malonson, 22, who is biracial, was crowned on Sunday. The event was hosted by Kappa Alpha Psi, a predominantly black fraternity." -- You know, if "Black Lives Matter" doesn't defend this young woman... aggressively.. and immediately, "Black Lives Matters" message  becomes confirmed as only one of racial hatred.

---
Online headline: "American Airlines is cutting legroom because flying hasn't become terrible enough" -- You know, I thought it was against the law to enact discriminatory practices, but this surely should be considered such to a person  of 6'6" or taller.. And if I remember my physics, it should offend any person over 5"10' or with a weight problem.

---
Yes! As of yesterday, it's "OK" to pray again in America if you are a Christian.. Well, Christians prayed anyway, but now it's not against any Obama Executive Order or mainscream media's assault.

From the "at least one Democrat questions Comey's statement for Huma Abedin not being arrested and tried for sending top secret/classified e-mails to her husband" department - Online story: "While testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, FBI Director James Comey revealed that Huma Abedin, a top aide to Hillary Clinton, forwarded thousands of emails, including classified information, to her husband, Anthony Weiner. * On MSNBC on Thursday morning, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) called for a special prosecutor to investigate if Abedin committed a crime by forwarding the classified material. * “If there was classified information and it was improperly passed to a person unauthorized to receive it, yes, naturally it’s a crime,” Blumenthal said. “Without knowing what the intentions were and so forth, there is potentially a prosecutable crime.” -- Don't hold your breath just yet, but this maybe the crack in the wall that brings Hellary down, too.

One more time.. Stop worrying about what Trump "twitters" about..he uses it to keep mainscream media from establishing "their version" of the "truth".

---
Last night, Tucker Carlson asked a Democrat spinmeister why Susan Rice rejected an invitation to answer questions in front of the Senate Investigation Committee. You remember Susan Rice, Obama's security advisor who released Michael Flynn's name to mainscream media...well her spinmeister said she rejected the invitation because she would be a diversion for the investigation. What's this "invitation" crap.. SUBPOENA her! You know, the only diversion on Rice's mind is to divert the truth.

L-E headline: "Mayor’s commission considers another SPLOST for replacing Government Center" -- Once again, we .. that's you and me, and every other taxpayer in Columbus, must demand that our legislative delegation get our local elections, whether for political offices or SPLOST-type referendums, be returned to the November General Election date in even numbered years!

---
Astute L-E "soundoff": "Self-serving preference Why is the journalism award the most prestigious Page One award?" -- Hmmm.. sorta easy.. the L-E doesn't allow outside foundations to offer more or new scholarships, even though the L-E has not "upped" the monetary value of their original scholarships.. at least not since 1984.

I heard there was a community forum/meeting about making it safer for pedestrians on Macon Road.. I suggest that common sense would make a big difference.. Rule #1 being cars are bigger than people, and if the two should "meet" cars are going to win..Solutions: follow the crossing rules.. at corners, look both ways..twice.. cross only when clear or with the prevailing green traffic signal lights.. and don't wear all dark clothing at night..

L-E movie review headline: "No easy answers in ‘The Dinner’" -- Then it fails.. the number one purpose of a movie should be that it is entertaining.. if it's purpose message-based movie, and does not entertain, the message is lost anyway.
