From the "it's not one world" department - Online headline/story: "Reports: Unsuspecting Yazidi sex slave was fed her own child by ISIS * Vian Dakhil, an Iraqi Parliament member who is also Yazidi, has reportedly revealed on television how a starved ISIS sex slave had been tricked into eating her own child * "One of the women we managed to retrieve from ISIS said that she was held in a cellar for three days without food or water. Afterwards, they brought her a plate of rice and meat, she ate the food because she was very hungry." * "When she was finished they said to her: 'We cooked your one-year-old son that we took from you, and this is what you just ate.'" -- And libs/mainscream media believe this is tolerable..is culturally acceptable.. well. not in MY eyes.. not in God's eyes..

From the "and I agree" department - Bill Russell.. was presented the 1st NBA Lifetime Achievement Award as a player and coach of the Celtics.. (the Celtics were "my team" growing up). % NBA "giants" presented him with the Award..Kareem Abdul-Jabbar ( I remember his as Lew Alcindor) , Shaquille O'Neal, David Robinson, Alonso Mourning and Dikembe Mutombo. After accepting the award, the 83-year-old turned to the other stars, pointed to each one of them and whispered, "I would kick your ass." ...and he would have..
Bill Russell's accomplishments: 11 NBA championships as a player (nearly as many as the other five players have combined), and two more championships as a coach; five league MVP awards and 12 All-Star selections over a 13-year career. I always wanted Number 6 as my basketball jersey number but it wasn't allowed in high school or college.

Yesterday, I picked my younger brother up, and we made a morning celebrating our older brother's "would have been" 74th birthday..We went to breakfast at a Columbus icon, Evelyn's, then went to the National Infantry Museum to see the new exhibit honoring our Revolutionary War and earlier warriors. We talked about our ancestors contributions to the founding and establisment of our Great (Again) country. It was a good day.. Miss you, bro.

With healthcare being such an important issue, why don't the Senate Republicans stay in session and challenge the Democrats do the same?
---
From a WaPo editorial - Headline: "Jon Ossoff: I lost in Georgia; here's what Democrats won" -- Good grief..
the only thing the Democrats "won" was.. the DNC lost the highest cost Congressionial election EVER, and, to boot, the Democrats LOST in their effort to make Trump look weak..

Since the US Supreme Court has basically accepted Trump's "entry ban" for people from 6 countries with dysfunctional governments, and will take it up in the Fall session as for specifics, the US Supreme Court should issue blocks for the 9th and 4th District Courts of Appeal on hearing any more cases involving immigration.

Again I ask, how can one convert an IRA retirement account, (particularly a non-Roth IRA) to gold and keep it at home? I understood IRAs were retirement accounts to defer taxing revenues until later in life, and there are penalties for early withdrawals.

Mainscream media TV journalists are such crybabies... I'm glad the White House is shutting off cameras at press meetings..Reporting raw news and "sound bite" news from press briefings is not a good way to get accurate news to the public.

A fellow BCer (and former dependent of the City coffers) brought up a few of Mayor Tom-LYING-son's "achievements":
*Over $3,000,000 of tax payers money for law suits among government entities;
*Highest unemployment in the State for the most months;
*One of the lowest bond ratings of the City in recent times;
*One of the highest crime rates in recent times;
I'll add "worse maintained roads"
In fact, I have a new #1 road in the embarrassing road list. Slade Drive.. It has bypassed 54th Street and the section of Warm Springs Road from Manchester Expressway to Ezell's Catfish Restaurant. What's particularly embarrassing is that Slade Drive is named for one of our oldest and most prominent Columbus families. There are many Slades in our history, but one Thomas Bogs Slade was married to the daughter of my great-grandfather's brother Richard Kirven, and TB Slade was in the Navy receiving team as the Stature of Liberty was delivered from France.

I actually heard a mainscream media head say Trump should curtail his ego.. Excuse me, but I think the "ego problem" is mainscream media.

L-E headline: "Council considers spending $1M to pay workers 40-hour bonus"
-- Excuse me, but if the "20 hour" adjustment more than makes up for ALL the
variables in converting to the new pay schedule (as claimed), why should Council
spend unnecessary tax dollars on DOUBLING it? It's not a question of whether
each employee is worth it or not, but one of being economically accountable to
the taxpayers,

Uber-LIV's L-E "soundoff": 'Why not allow all the illegal immigrants to
become resident aliens, not citizens, and no voting rights? Bring them into our
tax system. Give them a green card. Stop trying to deport them." -- Hmmm.. can't
you just see a gang of MS-13's signing up for "green cards" and enrolling into
the tax system.. me neither. Tell you what though.. if this Uber-LIV will
identify him/herself, and commit to letting an illegal alien live (and
any future arriving family members) live in his.her home. I might consider
listening to his/her further drivel.

Once again, the failure of our Tax Assessor's Offices erupts.. Chick-fil-A
just bought the property at 5520 Whittlesey (Shogun) for over $3,000,000.00
dollars and is going to raze the existing building and erect it's own. On the
surface, it just sounds like business as usual.. but.. our Tax Assessor has the
site.. WITH a 10 year old, 68-- sq ft building at a Fair Market Assessment of
$1,239,418.00 .. and taxes collected have been "only" $20,450.39, Quick math
indicates that if the assessment value had been kept up with, around $50,000.00
could have been coming in annually. Ironically, the Mayor felt going after us
deadbeat home owners was the course of action to take.
Wonder if the Mayor's new computer software will do any better?
