Pray for Texas AND Louisiana.

I read an amazing story about the "Cajun Navy". Got their name for their unselfish volunteerism in New Orelans/ et al during Katrina for bringing their personal boats and saved 1000s of people. Well, they went to Texas.. Houston (and probably others, too) this week..but I'm talking about what happened in Houston.. AS the Cajun Navy roamed the flood waters, looters actually shot at them, and in some cases, lured the boats to them (under pretenses of needing to be saved), and robbed/assaulted the boat owners. Not all people respond the same as most people.. these looters followed the Rahm Emanuel/Democratic Party political playbook,, -- take advantage of Chaos and try to benefit personally/politically from it --

From the "whatever you thought about liberals/Democrats/mainscream media.. well your suspicions are confirmed" department - Online story: "ABC News reporter Tom Llamas is facing backlash for tweeting about “looting” at a Houston supermarket * tweeted Tuesday, “We’re witnessing looting right now at a large supermarket in the NE part of Houston & police have just discovered a body nearby.” * In a follow-up tweet (since deleted) he wrote, “We informed police of the looting and Coast Guard is flying overhead. Multiple officers now on the scene.” * Many criticized him for not being more empathetic towards those who may be struggling to survive. * “In what conceivable sense is it a journalist’s role to narc to police on people in a disaster taking food? And so gross to call it ‘looting,’” said one commenter. * Another remarked, “Your privilege is showing, sir. Where is your empathy? Did you stop anyone to ask y? It’s one thing if they were taking stuff from Best Buy.” * Someone else suggested, “maybe don’t call it looting when humans help themselves to provisions in an emergency situation. what are they supposed to do??” * Amid the criticism, Llamas attempted to clarify in another tweet, “Let me clear this up–we were w/police who had discovered a dead body & mentioned we saw ppl w/faces covered going into a supermarket nearby.”" -- "don't call it looting"? "your privilege is showing"? There is nothing humane about immoral/amoral people! One mainscream media reporter reported the truth, and was vilified based on his own skin color... and the spineless reporter "apologized" ... basically for being insensitive! The real question is what drives people to loot (steal) rather than seek out places that are set-up to provide the basic emergency needs. It doesn't matter whether someone is stealing from Best Buy or a grocery store.. it's stealing. it's animalism.. I'm taking bets that not one looter left a note for the Grocery store owner listing what he/she has taken, and added his.her name/address with a promise to come back and pay..

After analyzing the Mayor of Houston's actions and tweets, one must assume that Mayor Turner got his political Masters degree from the Ray Nagins "Skool of Mayoring - N'Orleans Campus".

Now there's a list out about the "10 Cities in America with the Happiest People" -- To no surprise, Columbus is not listed... but... BUT, wait until 2018 when a New Mayor replaces Tom-LYING-son.
---
Wish someone would step forward and announce he/she is going to run for Columbus' next Mayor in 2018... huh? Gimmee a break,, Beth Harris doesn't count..

Online headline/story: "Sarah Palin's lawsuit against The New York Times just got thrown out * ederal judge Jed Rakoff wrote in an opinion dismissing the case, Palin did not have a "plausible factual basis" to claim that the paper had defamed her. * "Responsible journals will promptly correct their errors; others will not," Rakoff wrote. * He continued: "But if political journalism is to achieve its constitutionally endorsed role of challenging the powerful, legal redress by a public figure must be limited to those cases where the public figure has a plausible factual basis for complaining that the mistake was made maliciously, that is, with knowledge it was false or with reckless disregard of its falsity." * -- Hmm.. two guesses as whether it was Obama or Clinton who appointed Rakoff... it was Clinton.. On the bright side, now the L-E will have to consider "proofing" its favorable stories about the School Superintendent and Mayor for " knowledge it was false or with reckless disregard of its falsity." Making a silk purse out of a sow's ear is just as wrong as reporting stories negatively.

From the "Fred Sanford.. it's the BIGGEST one yet, Elizabeth, I'm coming to see you" department - Online headline/story: "Pelosi condemns Antifa violence in Berkeley after criticism * "Our democracy has no room for inciting violence or endangering the public, no matter the ideology of those who commit such acts," Pelosi said in a statement Tuesday evening. "The violent actions of people calling themselves antifa [sic] in Berkeley this weekend deserve unequivocal condemnation, and the perpetrators should be arrested and prosecuted." -- Good grief.. Pelosi must be concerned about not only her Party leadership role, but at getting re-elected at all! Now, where was she during the 2016 election campaign season when these same Democratic Party supporter paid criminals were attacking Trump rally attendees? Tha, my friends is the real question...

From the "pinch me, I must be dreaming" department - Online headline/story: "Feinstein stuns San Francisco crowd: Trump 'can be a good president' * Toward the end of the evening, Feinstein reportedly shocked the crowd when she declined to say that Trump should be impeached and then told the audience that they should be prepared to see Trump complete his four-year term. * “The question is whether he can learn and change. If so, I believe he can be a good president,” she said." -- "(If Trump) can learn and change"? What I believe is happening is Trump's win has dried up all the Obama-Hellary "Kool Aid" supply in California, and it's Pelosi and Feinstein who are "learning and changing"..but only because they want to get re-elected.

From the "3 on a match" department - L-E headline: "Harvey continues
torment as Trump sees Texas damage" -- Wow! You know, just a few months ago,
this L-E headline would probably have read, "Harvey continues torment as Trump
damages Texas"

From the "No Way in HELL!" department - Online headline/story: "FBI shuts down request for files on Hillary Clinton by citing lack of public interest * The FBI is declining to turn over files related to its investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails by arguing a lack of public interest in the matter. * Ty Clevenger, an attorney in New York City, filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in March of 2016 asking for a variety of documents from the FBI and the Justice Department, including correspondence exchanged with Congress about the Clinton email investigation. * But in a letter sent this week and obtained by Fox News, the head of the FBI’s Records Management Division (David M. Hardy) told Clevenger that the bureau has “determined you have not sufficiently demonstrated that the public’s interest in disclosure outweighs personal privacy interests of the subject.” * "You must show that the public interest sought is a significant one"_ "public interest.... is significant"? You damn right it is! Fire Hardy... TODAY! WEe've been siting back.. maybe too patiently.. for too long to see the Clinton's not be duly processed!

You know, wouldn't having the statue of Dr Martin Luther King, Jr standing side-by-side and equal among the Confederate era monuments/statues really be an incredible testament of how history and people have evolved... changed?
---
I'm listening to Fox News and have come to the conclusion that Fox needs to replace most of the Post-Fox & Friends reporters with business degreed reporters. Most have no clue to the damage caused by uncontained government spending.
---
Fox News doesn't get it.. yet . I try to watch it, but as soon as I see Shepard Smith or Juan Williams...CLICK!...a new station.

Online headline: "NFL Superstar Unleashes 4 Word Bombshell on Reporter Pushing Him to Protest Anthem" -- Dak Prescott! This is one proud Mississippi State alum.. "Hail STATE!"
---
The new multi-million-dollar Muscogee County GA tax assessment software is a fiasco. Even knowing that the homeowners' "freeze" stays, there's no consideration on the database to record freeze assessment and what current assessment is/would be if not frozen. The Tax Assessors office may as well trade in its computers and replace then with an abacus...
---
L-E headline: "Tax assessors feared for their safety in season of unprecedented appeals" -- Good grief.. next we're gonna hear the Tax Assessors are wanting psychiatric help because they feel "bullied". Take a stand, Council, dismiss the whole Tax Assessors Board and issue a recall for the 2016 evaluations.. either "take a stand" or "Take a HIKE!"

L-E headline: "JIM BLANCHARD LEADERSHIP FORUM * Clark: U.S. not attracting
best, brightest teachers * Ron Clark, educator and co-founder of the Ron Clark
Academy in Atlanta, speaks Tuesday at the Jim Blanchard Leadership Forum." --
Hmmm.. wanna bet Ron Clark want be getting Christmas cards from the MCSD
teachers this (or any future) year? And I'm sure his invitation to the Muscogee
County Excellence in Education Awards nigh has been revoked.

Stupor-Uber_LIV's L-E "soundoff": "Sheriff Joe copped a plea Please
remember that accepting a pardon means you agree that you were guilty of a
crime." -- No it doesn't.. in this case, it means the President of the US
recognized an injustice by a federal judge to deny Sheriff Arpaio a jury trial.

Looks like the "Together 2017" group is tired of my questions about its
insistence to run daily ego ads about "who they are" versus letting the public
know of good things they do.. The daily ad would not allow comments to be posted
on Facebook today.. but "they" know who they are, and my sentiment hasn't
changed: "While many people have said the same thing in slightly different ways,
Ronald Reagan had a way with words....this quote of his works for all aspects of our lives.. whether in sports, public or private sector offices, or in doing God's work: Reagan said, "On my desk in the Oval Office. I have a little sign that says: "There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doesn't mind who gets the credit." Why does "Together 2017" so insistent that we know who is behind its projects, rather than what benefit the projects have made for the community?
