From the "let's see the instant replay of the ref's call" department - Online headline/story: "Referees walk off football field after high school players kneel during anthem * On Oct. 27, several players from Monroe High in New Jersey kneeled during the national anthem before their game against Colts Neck. A referee and his son – a line judge – then stormed off the field." -- Yes!.. unfortunately.. there's more to the story, and it's sadder than "taking the knee".. " Later on Monday, NJ Advance Media reported the two officials would not be assigned any other games this season. * “If they walked off once,” GMC officials assigner Thomas Paulikas told the outlet, “what’s going to keep them from doing it tomorrow or the next day?” -- How pathetic! Hope parents at the next game throw YELLOW FLAGS at any referee who does not walk off when teens disrespect our Flag, Police Officers, Veterans and patriotic American citizens.

Hmmm.. first the bad news.. the latest "worst 50 USA cities to live in is out.. Columbus made it.. number 50.. and it gets even worse for both Columbus, GA Mayor Tom-LYING-son and Congressman Bishop, D-2,.. worse for Tom'LYING-son, is that Macon ... MACON did not make the list.. worse for Bishop is that Albany, GA is rated the 7th worst..
Complete list:
1. Detroit, Michigan
2. Birmingham, Alabama
3. Flint, Michigan
4. St. Louis, Missouri
5. Memphis, Tennessee
6. Milwaukee, Wisconsin
7. Albany, Georgia
8. Hartford, Connecticut
9. Merced, California
10. Wilmington, Delaware
11. San Bernardino, California
12. Springfield, Missouri
13. Stockton, California
14. Baltimore, Maryland
15. Jackson, Mississippi
16. Rockford, Illinois
17. Miami Beach, Florida
18. Springfield, Massachusetts
19. Pueblo, Colorado
20. Canton, Ohio
21. Youngstown, Ohio
22. Buffalo, New York
23. Knoxville, Tennessee
24. Fort Smith, Arkansas
25. Cincinnati, Ohio
26. Little Rock, Arkansas
27. Paterson, New Jersey
28. Tucson, Arizona
29. Gary, Indiana
30. Chattanooga, Tennessee
31. Syracuse, New York
32. Salt Lake City, Utah
33. Reading, Pennsylvania
34. Rochester, New York
35. Lansing, Michigan
36. Waterbury, Connecticut
37. Atlanta, Georgia
38. Fall River, Massachusetts
39. Indianapolis, Indiana
40. Medford, Oregon
41. Lubbock, Texas
42. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
43. Lawrence, Massachusetts
44. Albuquerque, New Mexico
45. Gastonia, North Carolina
46. Shreveport, Louisiana
47. South Bend, Indiana
48. Camden, New Jersey
49. Kansas City, Kansas
50. Columbus, Georgia
Now the particulars - Columbus, GA:
50. Columbus, Georgia
> Population: 200,579
> Median home value: $137,000
> Poverty rate: 21.8%
> Pct. with at least a bachelor’s degree: 24.5%
While it is not the only factor, wealth can have a significant impact on a population’s quality of life. The typical Columbus household earns just $41,859 a year, much lower than the median income nationwide of $55,775. In addition, goods and services are about 4% more expensive on average in Columbus than across the country as a whole. Further, it appears the regional economy is getting worse. While national employment increased by 4% between 2013 and 2015, employment in Columbus declined by 2.9%, the largest decline of the 551 cities reviewed.
Albany, GA:
7. Albany, Georgia
> Population: 71,109
> Median home value: $92,600
> Poverty rate: 32.0%
> Pct. with at least a bachelor’s degree: 19.0%
Population trends are often indicative of the desirability of a city. New residents are often attracted by a healthy economy and job market, while residents flee areas with a poor economy, a high crime rate, and widespread poverty. As the national population expanded by 11.5% over the last decade, the population of Albany, Georgia declined by 4.0%.
This decline appears to reflect some of the problems the southern Georgia city faces. Albany’s job market, for example, does not compare favorably to most U.S. cities. The city’s annual unemployment rate is 7.9%, compared to the 5.3% national unemployment rate. Similarly, while the U.S. workforce grew by 4.0% between 2013 and 2015, total employment in Albany declined by 1.7% over the same period, the second largest employment decline out of the 551 cities reviewed. Almost one-third of the city’s population lives in poverty, well more than double the national poverty rate.
What's even worse is that being 50th worst is not much better than being 7th.. nor 1st.

You know.. "vice-related" activities .. dealing drugs, lottery/gambling.. are made to appear as an easy "get-rich-quick opportunity" to the desperate... but what "the desperate" don't realize.. well don't want to accept/admit.. is that they are being "played" by the predators at the top who already "know" they have the winning hand.

The main unspoken issue with legalizing marijuana is that laws will enable more people to have ready access to it, and thus become conduits to minors who cannot acquire it legally.

How the reality cycle works: KaeperPRICK's agent get 10-15% of KaeperPRICK's revenues... KaeperPRICK/s revenue is nothing... therefore, bottom line, KaeperPRICK equals nothing.

L-E headline/story: "COLUMBUS 2025 * Leaders promote plan to tackle issues * As chairman of the Columbus 2025 initiative, Billy Blanchard informed a group of community leaders about the region’s state of affairs on Monday and said the area has some work to do, and a plan to get it done. * “The Greater Columbus MSA’s population grew by 24 percent from 1970 to 2013, which sounds OK, except that was 58th out of 61 metro areas in the Southeast over the same period,” he said. “The total non-farm jobs in the MSA increased by 1.7 percent in the 10 years from 2005 to 2015. That percentage was the second lowest of the nine peer communities that we compared ourselves against." -- Columbus... we are in trouble.. not only has our current Mayor marched us into darkness, the "most experienced" announced candidate has been in lock-step with her for the past 7 years. We need a "Columbus Trump" to step forward.

You know.. groups that stage government practices protests in front or behind the White House just aren't in tune with reality...the fact they are allowed to do so, and with government provided protection pretty much dilutes their premises.

You know.. the newspaper makes the World Series sound exciting enough to start watching MLB again.. I guess the thrill of a possible beanball aimed at any batter who knelt during the National Anthem has a certain appeal..
