From the "Gomer Pyle ...NOT" department -  AOL headline: "Rep. Maxine Waters calls Trump ‘the most deplorable person’" -- No "Surprise, Surprise, Surprise" here.. Of course, she feels, you and I are "deplorable" as well.. in fact, if you don't live in her gated, mansion-filled neighborhood, she feels you are "deplorable", shoot, she feels everyone who actually lives  in the District she represents is "deplorable", and if you're white, you're deplorable even if you're a Democrat. Why is anything she says "newsworthy"?

From the cover of "Newsweek" tabloid: ""Donald Trump is bored and tired," the sub line reads. "Imagine how bad he'd feel if he did any work." -- You know, from Newsweek's perspective, the staff is unaccustomed at understanding what work is.. but then all most of the staff has been shown of what work is happens to be Obama and a significantly failed magazine. Follow the URL "link" to a recap of the current insignificance of Newsweek...

Online headline: "Jeff Sessions gets slammed over Justice Department plan to cramp down on leaks" -- Well, I guess so..mainscream media is so use to "not working" anyway, and now Sessions is about to cut off its source of "fake news" altogether..

Looks like the Democrats are gearing up for 2018/2020 by opening up training schools for candidates.. guess Trump "schooled" all the old candidates about winning  being hard work and a lot of listening to actual taxpayers. The trouble with the Democrat plan is that they are use to social promotions/graduations in school.

Last year was a record for shooting deaths in a year since Rahm Emanuel became mayor of Chicago..it was a huge 33% increase over the previous worse year (2012) Rahm has been in office .. you'd think that was a blip, but, alas, 2017 is running ahead of 2016. Wonder when mainscream media is going to start blaming Trump?

From the ""you can't make this up unless you're a liberal journalist" department -- Online "headLIE": "Brothers with clean records deported after one tells ICE he got into college " -- Now, as Paul Harvey would say, "the rest of the story": "The Washington Post notes that though neither had a criminal record, the two had been in the country illegally for some time. * They were reportedly caught entering the U.S. on fake passports in 2009, and in 2012 were ordered to leave. Both were subsequently given a 1-year protection from deportation but attempts to have that allowance extended were not successful." -- "clean records"? Using fake passports to get into America is not "clean", and getting to stay via a pass from Obama in defiance of federal laws (hey, didn't Obama's Aunt Zeituni get one of those before she died in  2014.. she was on government dole and in subsidized housing.. hey, isn't that how the Obama's lived in Washington, too?)

From the "the worm has/is turning" department - Online story: "According to the Wall Street Journal, former "Sex and the City" star Cynthia Nixon may take on New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary in 2018." -- It had to happen.. Democrat elitist have told alternative lifestylers that Democrats are the answer to their issues so stay dependent, and now the alternative lifestylers are "mutinying" to take over the "ship".

From the "mainscream media just got blasted by the Clinton's "confidant" department - Online headline/story: "Clinton confidant Blumenthal lashes out at Grassley over hearing comments * Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, had mentioned Blumenthal during a Russia-related hearing last Wednesday. Suggesting a double standard was at play, he questioned why President Trump's associates were taking heat for foreign ties but Blumenthal did not register as a foreign agent while working as an “off-the-books” intelligence resource for then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. * “There can be no ‘news’ without facts,” Blumenthal wrote. “Whatever you may have read could only have been baseless smears.” -- Ooops! You know, liberals really "cry foul" when the rules they hold others up to are applied to themselves.

From the "life's confusing enough but more so when "the signs" are given new meaning" department - "Online headline: "Planned Parenthood: Teach your preschoolers 'their genitals don’t determine their gender'
 -- Next we'll hear from the ASPCA that just because your puppy has external genitals doesn't make it a male.

You know.. why is it that the most distraught spokespersons from  Planned Parenthood have parents that practiced what the distraught spokespersons preach?

Columbus has recently had a story about two teens involved in the shooting death of another, yet the "defense" is that in it was an accident, and the charges are "involuntary manslaughter" -- While it is under investigation, and the two are out on bail, one thing that really stands out is why the two ran from the scene rather than wait for the proper authorities... it was "an accident"... wasn't it?

You know..mainscream media is trying to put Arizona's lower poll numbers on Trump but with OObamaCRAP imploding in Arizona and with McCain cuddling up to Schumer, it's McCain who has awakened the voter wrath.

From the "what time is it really for" department - Online story:  "MACON, Ga. -- Reverend Al Sharpton spoke at the National Action Network Middle Georgia Conference in Macon on Thursday evening. * He said he is concerned about White House leadership and people's rights. * "It's time for us to put the heat back on those in government for the people to benefit rather than the richer getting richer and we run around attacking each other," Sharpton told the crowd." --Hmmm What it's really time for is Al Sharlatan to pay his back taxes and serve his time under "Big House" arrest.

From the "can't you already see where this is headed" department - Another online story from Macon, GA: "MACON, Ga. -- School officials are recommending parents talk to their kids about playground safety before sending them on to school. * Dr. Rogelio Delacruz with the Pediatric Emergency Center at Navicent Health said playground safety is important. The emergency center sees kids get hurt on playgrounds all the time. * “Most of the injuries we see are fractures, children come here because they break their forearm, because they fall and land on their head and they sustain a concussion,” said Delacruz" -- Without a doubt, school children of every generation have learned life lesson's on school playgrounds,, and most of those are broken bones or bruises.. it's part of their education that they are not invulnerable to pain, and that prepares them for Real Life 101.. Of course.. liberals are already working on eliminating playground equipment.. and children "playing" at schools.. snowflakes might get hurt...

Online story: "The timing is right for bringing back a proposal to build a multi-modal passenger terminal (MMPT) in metro Atlanta, the chairman of the Georgia Senate's Transportation Committee said Thursday.
* "We're in great financial position. We've got a lot of growth coming," Sen. Brandon Beach, R-Alpharetta, told reporters following a meeting of his committee to talk about a project that has been on the back burner for years. "If we have the political will and the political courage, we can work with our partners and come up with a plan that works for everybody." -- "Republican"?  I don't think so.. some RINO running around trying to spend more money because it's "there". A Republican would be saying, "Let's find away to get this surplus back in the hands of the taxpayers so continued growth will soar!

Hank Johnson, D-GA 4, .. is trying to tip over another island.. Ole Hank has introduced the “Southeast Crescent Regional Commission Reauthorization Act of 2017.” * Working with the states and localities, the Commission can assist in leveraging public, private and philanthropic resources to improve the overall economy and infrastructure of the region to encourage private investment and promote growth in distressed areas. The bill would also provide job skills training and entrepreneurial development, ensuring that the jobs of the future can be filled by skilled workers * The Southeast Crescent Regional Commission encompasses most of the counties of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and Georgia.
* Congressman Johnson said the bill could open up the door to a historic opportunity to help create good jobs and develop a disadvantaged region with targeted investments. * The bill would also reauthorize economic and infrastructure development programs in the Northern Border Regional Commission and the Southwest Border Regional Commission. * The appointment of a federal co-chair by the president is still needed to launch the start-up phase." -- Good grief.. Johnson claims he is the originator of this program... a program that will never get off the ground because Trump is not going to appoint a "federal chair" that will take any advice from Johnson.. I do believe... and this is hard for me to say, but I think GA and District 4 were better represented by Cynthia McKinney..

L-E headline/story: "CIVIL LAWSUIT * Jury awards millions in 2014 fatal shooting * A 2014 Columbus homicide in which the defendant was acquitted on a self-defense claim has led to a $4.5 million civil verdict against the property owner." -- deaths are emotional, but how can a real estate company prevent people from abusing the rules and regulations of the complex when the lessee  brings in his own armed "bouncers" and invites/allows guests in who are carrying guns? Especially one in which the defendant was acquitted of a crime!

L-E commentary headline: "Today, Trump would get only 99 Electoral votes * BY JOHN A. TURES *
LaGrange College (John A. Tures is associate professor of political science at LaGrange College; jtures@lagrange.edu .

From the L-E "quote" feature: "Margaret Fuller - '' NATURE PROVIDES EXCEPTIONS TO EVERY RULE. - Margaret Fuller, American critic (1810-1850" -- Hmmm... every rule except this one.. there are no absolutes in the world.. well except "Absolute Zero"..

L-E headline: "Man shot in head in Columbus" -- wow.. even another "involuntary attempted manslaughter".. Chicago has nothing on Columbus!

L-E headline/story: "Man denies flashing women downtown * “He said he placed his hand down his pants and placed two fingers out the opening as a way to pick up women,” Scruggs told the court." --  Hmmm.. besides the fact that no woman would find a 2-finger appendage worthy of a second thought, why hasn't the (_*_) also been charged with "driving while distracted"  for not having both hands on the wheel?
