From the "as Ronald Reagan would oft say, "Well, there you go again" department - HuffPOOPOO headline: "Poll: 42 percent say Trump’s legacy as president will be one of the worst in US history" -- Hmmm.. 42% of the HuffPOOPOO fan club believe Trump will be "ONE of the worst presidents"... that means that 58% do not believe this! .. and in politics.. particularly leftist/mainscream media politics.. Trump wins by a landslide..

You know, what mainscream media doesn't understand is that Trump's main thoughts are not like theirs.. Trump doesn't seek to be "liked" by everyone, he seeks excellence and results that will benefit this nation and everyone who supports it.

From the "the 5 year-olds rule" department - We dined as a family last night..my bride, myself, 2 of our daughters plus our delightful 5 year-old granddaughter. At the end of the meal, our nearly 21 year old said she could really use a nap..5 year-old Sophia said she could use Big's ( that's me) shoulder. Maggie responded "that won't work..I need a bed".. Without missing a beat, Sophia said, "I can't help you with that".

Mainscream media was fuming yesterday as it covered a press meeting between Trump and Puerto Rico's Governor Rossello. Rossello was so complimentary of the aid that occurred under Trump's directives that any contrary questions by mainscream media were shot down before they took flight.

Why do Democrats and mainscream media fight so hard against tax cuts? Every major one in the past has jump started the economy, and increased the tax revenues to higher levels.

From the "do as I say, not as I do" department - Online headline/story: "Bernie Sanders' Senate campaign spent nearly $40G on private jets last quarter * Sanders, I-Vt., who has said global warming is causing "devastating problems" and is in favor of a carbon tax, made the payments for the posh private travel arrangements from his Senate campaign committee * to Apollo Jets, a New York-based private charter company that is "dedicated to providing a luxury flight experience based on superior safety and exceptional customer care," -- Hmmm.. true to the paraphrased "Animal Farm" socialist doctrine.. "all Democrats are equal.. but some are MORE EQUAL than others".

While Governor Scott of Florida was right in protecting the rights of people to speak, the publicity he generated about spending $600,000.00 to insure this right for all, Scott's public reaction probably generated the impulse for followers and protesters to assemble. Had the (_*_) been left alone, very few people would have even attended, and protesters would not have mainscream media there to broadcast and record their hatred. which is basically why protesters show up..


---From the "hypocrisy..lower thy head in shame and shut thy mouth " department - Online headline/story: "Florida Democrat Wilson no friend of veterans, vote record shows *

The Florida Democrat who criticized President Donald Trump this week for being "insensitive" toward the widow of a U.S. soldier slain in Africa might be facing similar criticism herself. * It turns out that U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilson has frequently voted against measures intended to help veterans and their families, according to VoteSmart.org, a vote-tracking site whose founding board members included former presidents Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford. * The measures that Wilson opposed included a bill that could have ensured that families of four soldiers slain in Afghanistan in 2013 received death and burial benefits." -- Good grief.. Democrat politicians are such dishonest people.. and mainscream media is their "sucked-in dupe"

--From the "mainscream media will create cause support out of plagiarism" department - Online headline/story: "Kaepernick fires back at Roger Goodell without opening his mouth * “White supremacy is thinking that ending black protest is a better goal than ending the murder of black lives,” wrote @samswey (Samuel Sinyangwe), in reply to Goodell’s goal of reducing the number of protesters, which Kaepernick also retweeted." -- You know, if KaeperPRICK and mainscream media were really interested in their state cause of "ending the murder of black lives", they would be entrenched in major cities with Democrat Mayors.. starting with Chicago and St Louis.

From the "why is this even newsworthy" department - Online headline/story: "LGBT Democrats endorse in Sandy Springs council race * Sandy Springs City Council elections are nonpartisan, but an endorsement in the District 4 race from a group of LGBT Democrats has both candidates declaring support of different parties – while both back legal protections for the city’s gay residents. * Candidate Le’Dor Milteer won an endorsement Oct. 11from the Georgia Stonewall Democrats, a group representing gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community interests that works to elect Democrats. It was the group’s only endorsement this year in any municipal race outside the city of Atlanta." -- A quick check of Facebook shows that Georgia Stonewall Democrats has a TOTAL of 821 "likes" at 6:50 AM today..

From the "the price of dinner is going down" department - "Online story: "U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue moved to kill a set of Obama-era regulations on Wednesday that was designed to level the legal playing field between poultry farmers and the large processing companies that ultimately deliver that chicken to America’s dinner plates. * His decision will have major implications for Georgia, which leads the nation in broiler chicken production, and the ability of small farmers to take legal action against the powerful poultry and food corporations that pay them to raise the young birds to full size. * Corporations such as Tyson Foods, Pilgrim’s Pride and ConAgra exert vast control over the industry since they provide many contractors with their chicks and feed. The farmers raise the birds, and those same companies later buy back those full-grown chickens — controlling both the supply and income for farmers." -- Hmmm... "Sonny Perdue moved to kill a set of Obama-era regulations on Wednesday that was designed to level the legal playing field between poultry farmers and the large processing companies that ultimately deliver that chicken to America’s dinner plates".. Go Sonny! Big corporations take all the risk by providing chicks and feeds to farmers who provide "daycare" until the chicks are grown and bought back....sounds like Obama's regulation was a disaster for America if it gave "daycare farmers" them the power to blackmail their bigger partners..

From the "why can't politicians be more like Trump" department - Online headline/story: "Warner Robins mayoral candidates give plans to get city out of $1.6 million budget hole" -- Good grief.. the 3 were all asked these 2 questions: "Question 1: There's been a lot of talk about developing a downtown and keeping millennials in the city of Warner Robins or drawing them back after college. What tangible things will you do during your four years, besides maintaining the TAD (Tax Allocation District), to make sure downtown Warner Robins looks different than it does now? Meaning, the area of Watson Boulevard closest to robins Air Force Base." and "Question 2: This year, Mayor and Council voted to readjust the salaries of every city employee to fix other issues regarding retention. But, that decision was costly and and spent $1.6 million out of reserve funds. That expenditure also added five new police officer positions. But, because it is salaries that will be a yearly cost and the City's Chief Financial Officer has told us repeatedly they will not be able to afford after this fiscal year. As mayor, what will you do to find the money to pay for that going forward? Please remember mayors alone do not have the authority to raise lower or keep taxes steady.".. To a man all they could come up with was increase taxes and spend more.. if the Warner Robins voters just looked at Columbus and saw that "diving" into the "fund balance" just guarantees more tax increase down the road, the voters would go to the polls and vote for "None of the Above".



Now, how come Warner Robins gets to vote on mayors and Council races on November's General Election date while we in Columbus have to vote on such during May while the party primary races are being conducted.. and while I'm at it, why don't Columbus voters get to vote on SPLOSTs in November as well rater that "out of the air dates the MCSD/MCSB thinks will guarantee a low turnout favorable to such?

From the "the key word is 'PASSED'"- department - Online headline: "Democrats slam Senate budget: 'It will go down in history as one of the worst budgets Congress has ever passed' -- Hmmm.. of course, I remember one of Obama's (2012) that got "zero votes" from Republicans and DEMOCRATS alike!

You know.. the next time I see a NFL player take a knee during the National Anthem, I hope its a knee "to the groin" issued by a US veteran or policeman's widow.


---
From the "he's protesting what?" department - Online headline: "Marshawn Lynch was ejected for coming off the bench and shoving a ref" -- While I hate to give (_*_)'s any kind of blog time, this is special.. how does one justify protesting police officers doing their sworn duties, when one cannot contain himself from attacking a NFL "field policeman" when he wasn't even involved?


---
From the "it's all in how you interpret it" department - Online headline: "New Jersey crowd greets Obama by chanting 'four more years' " -- You know,, I could say that and mean something totally different.. how about "4 more years" but this time in the "Big House" along with the Clintons, Holder and Lynch.

L-E headline/story: "Counsel lays out concerns to board as accreditation visit looms *
The independent counsel hired to advise the Muscogee County School Board about how its controversial conduct might affect the school district’s accreditation has presented his report." -- Good grief.. the "board conduct" should have ZERO influence of an accreditation process.. The board does not reach into the classrooms where student grades are determined.. Lewis and Co (including too many on the MCSB) are more interested in diverting the blame to others.

From the "it's all in the presentation" department - L-E headline/story: "Georgia jobless rate dips; Columbus jobs hold steady * The Georgia Department of Labor reported Thursday that the state jobless figure in September was 4.5 percent, down from 4.7 percent in August. In September a year ago, the rate was 5.4 percent. * Metro area data released Thursday showed no change in the Columbus job total since September 2016, with it remaining at 121,000. Macon and Rome also saw no gains, with Albany and Brunswick the only metro areas losing jobs since this time a year ago * Of course, Atlanta added the most jobs over the past 12 months at 68,300. But Athens also gained 4,000, Augusta picked up 4,900 and Savannah increased by 4,300." -- Hmmm.. Hmmm.. The 3 cities in the same range as Columbus saw better than 4,000 jobs each in increase.. and Columbus saw zilch.. It's even worse for Congressional District 2 Representative Sanford Bishop.. Columbus stayed "zilch" but Albany actually lost jobs and Macon saw no new ones either.
