Continue your prayers for Texas.. you know, Texans have one particular
thing to be very thankful for .. Trump, not Hellary, is president.. Trump has a
track record of getting things done...

We pray for the safety of those cursed with the flood waters generated by Hurricane Harvey, but let's not lose the Godsend opportunity presented..This is an excellent opportunity to share our love and compassion with neighbors and strangers alike... this is what it means to be a Christian...we find love in chaos...quite different from the Democrats Rahm Emanuel chaos concept..Emanuel opportunistically sought ways to capitalize politically on the misfortunes of others.

Online headline: "Trump was wrong to pardon controversial U.S. sheriff, Ryan says" -- Good grief.. Trump was right on in correcting a miscarriage of justice! Sheriff Arpaio was DENIED a jury trial, and his guilt was assessed by a single US District Judge, Judge Susan Bolton, who was a Slick Willie appointee.
---
Online story: "Hundreds of counter-protesters gathered near a barricaded San Francisco park Saturday despite the cancellation of a free-speech rally that city leaders feared could draw right-wing extremists." -- Hmmm... just proves they were paid henchmen.. they showed up to be able to draw their paychecks..

Mayweather won.. now 50-0 and retiring.. All's right in the true boxing world..

One thing I got confirmed from another "helicopter parent" of the L-E's "Together 2017" daily ego-ad onslaught, is that all the ads are an "in kind" donation... Basically, the L-E is promoting itself along with others while possibly/probably DEDUCTING the expenses of space and production costs from other income revenue. If the L-E benefits from reduced taxes, then GA and the US government is taking a hit on services it could offer for social services.

From the "please explain this to me" department - Online headline/story: "Florida police fatally shoot woman threatening suicide * a Sunrise Police SWAT team went to an apartment Friday where an armed woman had barricaded herself inside and was threatening to kill herself. * the woman stopped communicating with officers, so the SWAT team entered the apartment. She says the officers encountered the woman and shots were fired. She died at the scene. No officers were hurt." -- SMH...

Online headline/story: "American journalist is 'caught in fighting' and killed in South Sudan, reports say * ( Christopher ) Allen, who worked for various news outlets, was killed in heavy fighting in the town of Kaya, Reuters reported. * “We are sad for his family. He came here to tell our story ,” said one rebel who knew Allen, according to Reuters. * The rebel asked not to be named but said Allen had been in the middle of the fighting and wearing a jacket marked PRESS, Reuters reported." -- You know.. if I was a South Sudanese Soldier, and I saw a jacket marked "PRESS" associating with the rebels who I was fighting with, I do believe "PRESS" would become my main target, as I would think the "PRESS" was there to report the rebel side of the story.. Prayers to/for the Allen family.

Here's another Chester Randolph "mess" to disect.. A Columbus builder built his custom house in 2009..It was assessed at $670,000. In 2015, said builder sold it to a well known retired banker for $725,000.00. A few months later, the 2016 Assessment published it's value at $557,000.00. In 2017, the new asssessment came out at $561,000.00.. Now, does Chester Randolph think this is a fair assessment, and is it considered "an up, or down" assessment?

KaeperPRICK failed! The teams of Greenville, NC and Lufkin TX composed of white, black, and Hispanic 11 and 12 year old boys unanimously stood in respect..and emotional awe as the National Anthem wafted across the field at Williamsport, PA Saturday afternoon as they prepared to do battle to determine the LL National Champions.

In what I considered an upset, Texas came on late to take the US crown from North Carolina. With Hurricane Harvey on land, I guess Texas needed a bright light shining upon it.

L-E headline: "MUSCOGEE COUNTY * School board rejects recommendation, proposes cutting property millage rate * (Superintendent) Lewis reminded the board, “We are balancing this year’s budget using fund balance. … This is one of those aspects of leadership that sometimes is not pleasant, but if we’re going to be fiscally responsible for our employees and the system going forward, I think it’s imperative to consider those things before making any decision that has long-term consequences." -- It's really disheartening to hear the fund balance is being used to balance the operating budget when the school system admits it piles on new projects for the SPLOSTs to get the maximum dollars in sales tax receipts which go only for buying buildings (many unnecessary*) and buses which add more maintenance costs which cannot be paid for with SPLOST revenues.
* - Last year we had 127 UNUSED classrooms that still required maintenance a nd utilities from the operating budget yet there's a new Fine Arts Academy this year and a new Spencer High under construction)
Does anyone know how fast the MCSD gets its share of the property taxes the City collects.. is it days. weeks, or months? Does anyone know if we can send our property tax for the school district directlt to the MCSD or MUST it go through the City collecting department?

L-E story: "Tomlinson said recent homicides are similar in that:
• The suspect and the victim are known to one another.
• They involve gun violence, which results in simple disputes, perceived slights or jealousies, becoming deadly.
•They typically involve people engaged in risk-based lives or hanging out with those that do, including drugs, house parties and being involved in crime.
• They happen in clusters related to retaliation or other factors that could be curbed by witnesses working with law enforcement — fighting the anti-snitch culture."
Hmmm... which "Mayor" do we believe.. the one that says Columbus has "no gang or crime problems" or the one saying we have an out-of-control "gang and crime problem"?

L-E Commentary headline/comment: "SUNDAY FORUM SPECIAL * The American republic was designed for evolution * AS I SURVEY THESE SNAPSHOTS OF SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL EVENTS AND PERSONALLY MEANINGFUL OCCASIONS IN MY OWN LIFE, I DO NOT SEE THEM IN ISOLATION * BY CLAY D. LAND * In light of recent protests that seek to remove from public display those parts of our history that were not racially inclusive, I have contemplated whether some may find these historic prints inappropriate for a federal judge’s chambers. * But as I broaden my focus beyond these paintings consisting entirely of white men, I notice three other items hanging from my chamber walls — a photograph of Abraham Lincoln superimposed upon his Gettysburg Address, a framed photograph of myself with my then state Senate colleague Ed Harbison from a 1996 article appearing in the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer captioned “Promises of the New South have come true,” and a photograph of the six judges who currently sit on my court, including a black male and black female." -- Great perspective!... even better when you consider the evolvement of the Constitution is always led by the majority of people of America. The American people ourselves are responsible for the changes in views, temperaments, and made corrections of what was written by our forefathers. That's what has Made America Great! Too bad too many people cannot see the future because they only look backwards.

Anti-Christians....mainscream media.. atheists.. leftist.. unbelievers in general, just have no clue to what being a Christian is about.. Christians aren't perfect but are making an effort to follow Christ..in other words, if you're not trying to be a follower of Christ, you're just not trying to be like Christ.

Online headline: "Trump admin brings back prayers in the White House" -- Well, between the Executive and Legislative Branches, this puts the Judicial Branch in the minority..

Online story: "Rumors have started circling from political associates of Al Franken, hinting at a possible run by the Minnesota senator for the White House in the following elections that will take place in year 2020." -- Heh heh heh... Good grief, even the scriptwriters at Saturday Night Live could not come up with a skit showing FRanken beating Alec Baldwin Trump. much less "the Donald"...

From the "total acceptance has a limit" department - Online headline: "
CAITLYN JENNER CHEWED OUT BY TRANS WOMAN Over Trump Support" -- Heh heh heh..
so.. being accepted for who... or what... you are doesn't apply if you are
conservative or a Trump supporter...
---
From the "sometimes absurdity is the equalizer" department - Online
headline: "Scott Baio: Should We Tear Down Clinton Presidential Library Because
Hillary Praised Former KKK Member?" -- "because Hellary praised member former
KKK member"? IMO.. no.. we should tear it down because of his misogynist
actions ... then BURN it for Hellary's praise of Senator Byrd..
---
You know, mainscream media and leftist hate Sheriffs Joe Arpaio and David
Clarke... for the same reason... they upheld the laws and Constitution because
it was their sworn duty. I love 'em for the same reason.-

Online headline/story: "Hitler image, Trump mask used by property manager
to terrorize building, residents say * Residents of a New York City building are
being terrorized by a property manager who wears a Trump mask and plastered the
lobby walls with pictures of swastikas, Confederate generals and Hitler,
according to reports." -- You know.. it's not the mask of Trump.. nor the images
of Hitler, Confederate Generals or Swastikas that scares the residents.. it's
know the leftist property manager doing this has key-access to their
apartments!

L-E headline: "Some residents claim litter-bugs are trashing Columbus
streets" -- "litter-bugs"? How about LITTER-THUGS!
---
Uber-LIV's L-E "soundoff": "I wonder if David Duke or any of his followers
serve on the boards of America’s great capitalist companies." -- Probably not,
but it's a good question to ask of late Senator Robert Byrd, or Lester Maddox,
or George Soros.
---
Stupor-LIV's L-E "soundoff": "If you didn’t appreciate Leonard Pitts’
column on Sunday, perhaps it was beyond your level of intelligence." --
Shouldn't the insinuation be that if you're getting your intelligence from
Leonard "the" Pitts, you are below acceptable standards of self-sufficiency...
in other words. a Democratic Party dupe?
---
L-E story: "The federal government is struggling to conduct background
checks on people seeking security clearances, creating a backlog that one
industry group says encompasses more than 700,000 applicants." -- Good grief..
after Obama's 8 years, all federal government employees brought in during his
terms have to be re-vetted first before anything else!
