Looks like Ben & Jerry's has been declared anti-green.. and for good reason.. in a test of 11 of its product, 10 contained elements of a commercial weed killer. So much for libs wanting to make things greener.

From the "we can't let America know how well the Scouting generation likes Trump" department -  Online "headLIE": "The Boy Scouts of America distance themselves from President Trump" -- Good grief.. the BSA released a statement following Trump's dynamic appearance, " "The Boy Scouts of America is wholly non-partisan and does not promote any one position, product, service, political candidate or philosophy." It's also worth noting that the article stated that, "It's worth noting that former presidents Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton were all boy scouts, while President Trump was not." which is wrought with lies..Bush and Clinton were both in the Cub Scouts, while Obama was never a Boy Scout (though is credited with being in a boy scouting Indonesian organization called Gerakan Pramuka (I imagine Obama's Gerakan Pramuka files are sealed, too).

Online story: "Another hot mic moment for two U.S. senators. * This time, Republican Susan Collins and Democrat Jack Reed were talking specifically about President Trump and his budget. * They both called the White House's handling of spending irresponsible, saying, "I think -- I think he's crazy. I mean, I don't say that lightly and as a kind of a goofy guy." -- You know.. the Republican Party should expel Collins from the Party and exclude her from running in the next Republican primary.

From the "the reality of it is reality" department - Online headline/story: "Ivanka Trump mocked after misquoting Albert Einstein on Twitter *  The tweet, which Trump posted in June 2013, attributed the quote, "If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts," to the famed scientist." -- The reality is that while it's not a proven quote of Einstein, it is often ATTRIBUTED to him. We all know that ""If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts" is more likely the joint secret creed of CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, the Democrat National Committee, and the Clintons.

How interesting...mainscream media and Democrats want to delve deeply into whatever a Trump says to uncover if any lies are present...strange since mainscream media and Democrats have zero interest in the career of lies the Clintons have lived on.

Congressman Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland, stated he and the Democrats are very proud of OObamCRAP. Every Republican running for National office in 2018 should run the clip of Hoyer's statement as their "go to" ad statement.

Online headline: "A U.S. Navy ship fired warning shots at an Iranian ship in the Persian Gulf on Tuesday, U.S. defense officials confirmed to Fox News." -- What a difference with Obama out of the picture .. our military leaders can now protect our soldiers ..first!

You know, if some Republicans running for re-election in 2018, and say they feel threatened, it's probably because they have not embraced the Trump phenomena which has fired up the Republican base.

Has anyone had any dealings with K12.com or ConnectionsAcademy.com? Both advertise free public school education online.. such a system would ..could..revolutionize education as we now know it. Just think of how dramatically our property taxes would drop, and how many discipline and logistic problems would disappear.

Online headline/story: "Feds arrest IT staffer for Wasserman Schultz trying to leave country * A House IT staffer at the center of a congressional computer equipment scandal has been arrested by federal officials and charged with bank fraud * the FBI and Customs and Border Protection were involved in the arrest of Imran Awan at Dulles International Airport.  * (Awan) had bought a ticket to fly Monday to Doha, Qatar, and then Lahore, Pakistan, with a return flight booked for early January. * Awan and his relatives worked for House Democrats for more than a decade" -- And Debbie Washerwoman Schulz declared, "I know Nothink".

Online headline: "BART officials withholding crime surveillance tapes for 'fear of racial stereotyping'" -- You know. just by expressing it's fear of potential racial profiling, BART has DEMONSTRATED it IS racial profiling...

L-E story: "The man who is working to resurrect hockey in Columbus now has a five-year lease with the Civic Center, all that remains is to secure a franchise with the Southern Professional Hockey League * The lease is a 23-page agreement that will charge Burn Entertainment $3,000 per home game. * The lease also gives permission to the new hockey franchise to upgrade the video scoreboard and sound system in the arena at the owner’s expense. When the improvements are completed, Burn Entertainment will get a $1,000 per game credit against the $3,000 per game payment. The per game credit will remain in place until half of the capital improvement costs are recovered." --  Good grief! Who negotiates leases for the taxpayers of Columbus.. a 5 year speculative lease with no provision for inflation, and franchise gets $1,000.00 per game  credit for installing a new scoreboard which he'll probably get donated (partially or totally) by the ad sponsor..

L-E headline/story: "Council seeks state advice on tax assessments * Columbus Council approved a motion Tuesday to seek guidance from state officials about what council can do to address tax assessments that have jumped by as much as 1,000 percent. * Councilors made the decision with an unanimous vote after nearly three hours of intense discussion over the issue. Councilor Glenn Davis made the motion despite legal counsel from City Attorney Clifton Fay, who told councilors that they had very limited authority in the tax assessment process. * Fay said there wasn’t much council could do. * “There are state laws that set up appeals to go to the Board of Tax of Assessors, which is an arm of the state,” Fay said. “One of the statutes that does give this council some authority only comes into play if the State Revenue commissioner disapproves the local county digest.” -- "Fay said there wasn’t much council could do"? You know.. this was known before Council approved of the contract with new software company.. now either Tom-LYING-son or Fay did not inform/explain this properly to Council, or Council knew exactly what would happen and is now feigning "ignorance and indignation" since the taxpayers are revolting in great numbers.

Mike Pence did something as heroic as McCain yesterday.. While McCain's vote of "Yes" set the stage for Pence, it is Pence's vote that throws healthcare into the Senate arena for open discussion.. something the Democrat Senate did not do when voting on the current OObamaCRAP bill.

A L-E Letter to the Editor writes: "It pays to shop around at various pharmacies when you have to pay out of pocket for a prescription. A patient of mine, with no insurance, had to buy 21 tablets of 1 gram Valtrex, for shingles. The cash price varied tremendously… at Publix, the cost was the highest at $254. At Walgreens $233, at CVS $232. But at the independent pharmacies, Medical Park, Glenn's and U-Saveit, it was $27." -- You know, if the writer simply gets a free app to "Goodrx", he can get his prescription filled at Target/CVS for $26.05, and save even more.

"Thaw the Freeze" advocate for today's purge is Mayor Tom-LYING-son.. well. her rental properties in Wynnton./MidTown:
 One rental property in Overlook on OakCircle went up from $109,750 to over $215,000.. you cab bet she'll be appealing this one herself, but the question is why did she not have it reassessed during the last 17 years she has owned it and paid too little in taxes.

Two other properties abut each other at 1234 & 1236 Wildwood..She bought them in 2002 for $57,000, and $245,000 respectively.. She got a great price on the first piece (1236 Wildwood at $57K) and it was up in value to $110K last year but has risen to $137K this year.. strangely, the actual property.. the dirt and such, has gone down in value by 39%. The 1234 property has not kept up and dropped $1,000 in value this year with an amazing drop in the actual property vale by 17%.. I say amazing because of all the tax money she's spent to spruce up MidTown.
