From the "let me lead with my bias, and make up stuff as I go" department - Online story: "U.S. authorities will investigate on Sunday the violence stemming from a white nationalist rally a day earlier that killed one person, injured more than 30, and challenged U.S. President Donald Trump's leadership." -- "challenged U.S. President Trump's leadership"? -- Good grief.. Trump had nothing to do with this! This falls directly on the weak shoulders of VA Governor Terry McAuliffe! In fact, Trump stepped up immediately to condemn the action, and has no authority to intervene until VA Governor Terry McAuliffe REQUESTS his help. The only way Trump can step in, otherwise, is to declare VA governance incapable and incompetent (which it is under Gov Terry McAuliffe) and declare Martial Law.

The real incompetence in what happened in VA could have been avoided if BLM and mainscream media just ignored the situation, and let the hate group "have its moment" . Even legitimate Southern Heritage Historical organizations should have avoided their presence. The mainscream media was not there to record what happened, mainscream media was there to incite interaction so mainscream media could be considered pertinent.

---
Let's be honest... none of these "events" would be happening..  except for Democrats wanting to rewrite, no erase... history.. Liberals just don't get how they can teach about past mistakes by pointing to the remembrances in a way that shows how far we as a society have come.. Let's also face the fact that our National Flag flew over more slaves than the Confederate  Flag, but our same National Flag has been the symbol of healing and progress ever since.

Online story: "Former KKK leader David Duke struck out at President Donald Trump for condemning the violence at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. * In a series of tweets Duke questioned why the president, whom he usually supports, is attacking white Americans who put him "in the presidency." -- In an obscene way.. David Duke is right on one aspect.. the votes of a lot of "white Americans (along with a lot of black, Hispanic, and other Americans) did put Trump in office.. Duke is wrong to think.. even imply.. that "white supremacists/nationalists" elected him.. Trump would have won anyway without that small segment of people's votes.

From the "why didn't mainscream media as the follow-up question" department - Online headline/story: "Charlottesville Violence: Governor McAuliffe calls on Trump to aid unity * "My message is this hatred, bigotry language has got to stop. ... There's no place for it in this country, and we have got to work together as I told the president yesterday twice," Gov. Terry McAuliffe told NBC News' Tom Costello in an exclusive interview on Sunday. "This language, this rhetoric, this hatred has got to stop." -- Hmmm.. and why didn't NBC ask the former Clinton (both of them) presidential campaign manager/Democratic Party Chairman why he didn't speak out about the bigoted/hate-filled anti-Trump demonstrations  at Trump campaign events?

Oh.. and where was President Obama, and what did he do/say about bigoted/hate-filled anti-Trump demonstrations at Trump campaign events? What about Hellary and the DNC not stopping such terroristic events?

---
Let's face it...all our schools would serve this, and future, generations better by teaching what will get each student ahead in life than what held students back 70 to 200 years ago.

Usain Bolt.. pray for him.. such a dominant person in the track world has lost his last two races before his announced retirement.. bet he looks back askance at this decision for his last performances.

---
You know.. you can only give tax cuts to those who actually pay taxes.. the plus side is that those who pay the most taxes return any cuts back into their company's growth.. which produces more jobs for people who will pay taxes.. Looks Win-Win to me..

---
What shallow whimpers the Democrats are making in their efforts fix OObamaCRAP.. not 1 has voted to help President Trump.

L-E headline/story: "Water damage on RiverWalk will cost almost $1.1 million to repair * HEAVY RAINS CREATED WATER PRESSURE IN THE SLOPE AND SOMETIMES THE AREA DISAPPEARED WHEN THE WATER LEVEL WENT BACK DOWN IN THE RIVER. * “Once you go in and disrupt the natural soil with the Riverwalk construction and sanitary sewers, that soil is not compacted like it was originally,” she said. “ It can get loose over time and you can have some erosion problems.”" -- Wait a minute.. going in and disrupting the natural soil with the Riverwalk construction and sanitary sewers.... isn't that exactly what was done in building the $244,000 "Queen TT Lounge" did?  .. disrupt the compacted soil? Guess we'll have to deal with Tom-LYING-son's "crap" for years to come...

Looked up the property of one of the "Together 2017" featured people.. she bought a house here in Columbus in 2010 for $515.000.00.. the persons she bought it from had paid $518,000.00 in 2007. In 2016, her house was assessed at  $512,629.00.. the NEW 2017 assessment is $392,190.00. Amazingly, her "land value" went up about 10%.. but the house on the property went down nearly 23%.. Of course, she want get a new tax relief based on her 2017 Tom-LYING-son Tax Software figure as we kept the Tax Freeze intact. Guess we can be thankful of the freeze .. for checking on these fact, Parcel ID is 079 004 063. I bring this up as "she" was an advocate for "Thaw the Freeze", and obviously she would have benefited tax wise based on the current assessment.

L-E headline/story: "EDUCATION * Special education leads school board work session agenda *  Lewis is expected to present his choices for director of internal audit and director of communications but no names were given in the board agenda." -- Wait a minute,, I have no problem with Lewis wanting a Director of Communication of his choice as he should have someone communicating his messages, but I am not happy with the Superintendent naming the Director of Internal Auditor of HIS choice.. The Internal Auditor should be named by, and report directly to the MCSB.

L-E story: "A Marriott hotel being built in downtown LaGrange, Ga. will feature a putting green, splash pad and 10-foot-long fire pit. * According to an official report from the City of LaGrange, there will also be a restaurant called The Bistro and a Starbucks coffee shop open seven days a week." --  Hmmm.. I'm pretty sure this is a benefit of Lagrange securing a "Great Wolf Lodge Indoor.Year Round" indoor water park...surely our tax supported Chamber and Visitors Bureau should have worked harder at getting Great Wolf Lodge to locate here.. well I guess we do have the AquaCenter costing us money year round.
