From the "mainscream media's wishful thinking" department - Online story: "The new White House chief of staff, retired General John Kelly, is reportedly trying to reign in at least some of President Trump's tweeting." -- Good grief.. doing so would be like the Yankee's batting coach of Aaron Judge taking the bat out of Judge's hands and replacing it with a ping pong paddle... because other teams' pitchers thought it was unfair for Judge to use a bat.

---
Why is mainscream media trying so.. no, trying TOO hard to get "Colon KaeperPRICK " signed to a new team? I'm beginning to wonder if mainscream media icon headquarter buildings still fly the American flag.

---
I heard Saturday that the CPD charged the MCSD $1,100.00 for a copy of the police investigative files concerning Montravious Thomas. You know the MCSD should already know all the "best information" about what happened.

You know.. why should one arm of the taxpayer funded local government be paying the other arm local government anything for something that already belongs to the taxpayers?

Unless it's a college football or baseball game that I follow certain teams' games, I really no longer tune in to ESPN, but here's another confirmation of my decision...Online headline: "ESPN HOST Calls Cops “Slave Patrol” and Rips NFL for Not Signing QB Colin Kaepernick" -- Even in the calmest.. most erudite of times, crap rhetoric like this is not going the unite people in anything... well, maybe united them in disgust for the speaker of such.

From the "guess we'll find out sometime today" department - Online story: "Mayor Emanuel says he’s going to sue the Trump Justice Dept on Monday, over its new Sanctuary City rules. * New rules just out, prevent Sanctuary Cities like Chicago to get certain law enforcement grants. The mayor says Chicago will file suit to kill the rules and get the millions in question." -- Sancuary City of not, Chicago has already shown it does use the federal funds wisely or efficiently, and that alone justifies withholding future fed funds on the basis of pour more good money down the drain.

L-E story: "Lajay D. Jenkins, 35, faces one count each of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of drug related objects, having a cracked windshield, fleeing and eluding police, obstruction of a police officer, having no state license, and two counts each of stop sign violation, hit-and-run and one count of failing to maintain his lane. He was taken into custody at 6:06 p.m. after a short foot chase and held in the Muscogee County Jail on bonds totaling almost $8,000 for a 2 p.m. Thursday hearing in Recorder’s Court." -- "possession pf drug related products/possession of marijuana with intent to distribute"?  "held in the Muscogee County Jail on bonds totaling almost $8,000 for a 2 p.m. Thursday hearing in Recorder’s Court"? Excuse me.. but why is ANY bail involving any kind of violence set BEFORE an already SCHEDULED Recorder's Court hearing?

---
L-E commentary  headline: "Bipartisan messages clear; does the president hear?" -- Good grief.. if there IS bipartisan agreement in Washington, you can bet it has nothing that will benefit America or it's citizens.. The only thing Republican and Democrat politicians agree on is that they both want to keep themselves above the laws they write for everyone else.. their healthcare packages, Hellary's  "bubble" of protection from prosecution.. oh, and the Senate not willing to convict Bill Clinton are great examples messages of what is bi-partisan "clarity" is in Washington.

---
L-E guest commentary headline: "Affirmative action back in spotlight * BY MARY SANCHEZ * Kansas City Star" -- Hmmm.. is there anybody with a clear conscience who can say that he/she doesn't equate the term "Affirmative Action" with it's only true definition... "Racial or Gender Prejudice"?

---
A lot of local chatter on a Columbus FaceBook page has been about what's charity..It's not really charity to pass on a few bucks per a request just to see a smile or to get by a place/person then think nothing else about it.. That's a hand out...not a hand up. It's the hand up that is charitable. A oft used adage is the one about giving a person a fish or teaching a person to fish.. Just shining a brief light on someone merely puts them back into the darkness when you move on. Now to light a path that leads to the end of the darkness is what real charity is about.

---
Online story: "Google executives over the weekend rushed to denounce an engineer's memo that ascribed gender inequality in the technology industry to biological differences, a view that sparked outrage at the internet giant and inflamed tensions over sexual harassment and discrimination in Silicon Valley." -- Hmmm.. so the great bastion of diversity flares up in outrage when one of it's diverse employees makes a diverse personal comment.. Sound more like Google is not the open environment it proclaims itself to be.

---
Online story: "(College Park), Maryland is considering a plan that would give undocumented immigrants the right to vote, making their city the largest in the Old Line State to do so. * The city, which is home of the University of Maryland’s main campus and nearly 30,000 residents, is weighing approval of the new measure to let noncitizens cast ballots for mayor and City Council, The Baltimore Sun reported Sunday." -- Good grief.. I can see the first two new laws the college kids will vote in.. Toga Party Tuesday for Election Dates, and Long Weekends Off for the Police Department on home football game weeks.

---
Online story: "An image of a monster crocodile caught by Outback Wrangler Matt Wright has gone viral, with some animal lovers criticizing the use of duct tape to bind the animal’s snout shut." -- Hmmm.. the next time Matt Wright catches a 20' croc, I think he should call one of these "animal activists" and appoint him/her as "official croc snout holder".

Uber-LIV's L-E "soundoff": "The NRA has won. Any Tom, Dick or Harry with evil intent can obtain a gun, including 18-year-olds who cannot legally buy or drink alcohol until they are 21." -- Hey Dumbo (and I'm not talking about the Flying Elephant),  While it is legal for an 18-year old to possess a handgun in GA, it is illegal under federal law for anyone under 21 to BUY a handgun

Stupor-LIV's L-E "soundoff": "It’s a sad day when Boy Scouts of America has to issue an apology because of a speech given by Trump. It’ss even sadder that there are Americans who still support this man. Pitiful." -- Typical lib.. one BSA weenie makes a "liberally correct" comment, while 40,000 politically aware young men cheer for our president is sad only in that the "weenie" is still employed by the BSA!

L-E guest Commentary headline/content: "Call Maduro what he is – a dictator * BY ANDRES OPPENHEIMER * Miami Herald (like the L-E, a McClatchy unit, too) *  In light of the tragic events in Venezuela, it’s time for us in the media to start calling things by their name, and refer to Venezuelan ruler Nicolas Maduro as what he is – a dictator. * Most media organizations still refer to Maduro as “Venezuelan President,” “Venezuelan leader” or “Venezuela’s head of state.” That’s OK for a first reference, but it puts Maduro at the same level as Germany’s Angela Merkel, or – even if you consider him a disastrous president, as I do – Donald Trump. * Now, Maduro has gone all the way to try to impose a Cuba-style dictatorship in Venezuela: He convened a sham July 30 election for a constituent assembly that plans to re-write the constitution and close down the National Assembly. * The vote was a farce: As in Cuba, you could only vote for government supporters. All 5,500 candidates were members of Maduro’s socialist party. There were no credible international observers, and reporters were forced to remain 550 yards – away from the polls." -- Hmm.. and if Hellary had won, Oppenheimer would be embracing Maduro as would Hellary, and Maduro would be praised as having Obama skills. Oh, and does not Oppenheimer remember when Hellary's campaign forces actually "lassoed" mainscream media into a group so they would be forced back from Hellary during her campaign.. maybe not 550 yards, but distance is not the only factor in keeping the media under one's control.
