From the "As Reagan would oft say, "Well, there goes mainscream media again.. polling itself" department - Online headline: "Poll: Biden would beat Trump in 2020, but so would any 'generic Democrat'" -- You, just yesterday, another mainscream media poll showed 60% of Americans agreed with Trump about the NFLers wrongful protests. Those 60% represent mainstream values.. none of which ant Democrat brings to the conversation.

Well, the the UCLA shoplifters are back.."thanks" to President Trump.. Their coach, Steve Alford, said, ""These are good young men who have exercised an inexcusable lapse of judgment. "I am extremely disappointed in their actions." -- Really, Coach? Could it be that hey just wrongly expected the same bail out in China as they would have gotten 3 blocks from the UCLA campus if it happened here.

From the "chickens have come home to roost" department - Online story: " * As a national spotlight is being shined on sexual assault and harassment following a flood of accusations of misconduct against dozens of prominent men in Hollywood, the media, and politics, Democrats and others on the left are beginning to reexamine their response to Clinton's alleged misdeeds.Four women have accused former President Bill Clinton of sexual assault or harassment over the last few decades. One woman accused Clinton of raping her. * Amid ongoing national attention on issues of sexual assault and workplace harassment, Democrats and others on the left are beginning to reexamine their response to the allegations against Clinton." -- Maybe now mainscream media will examine Bill Clinton's partying with Jeffrey Epstein on Pleasure Island..

Online "headLIE": "Charles Manson in grave condition at California hospital" -- WRONG! Manson won't be in GRAVE condition until his body is thrown into a coffin and the lid nailed shut.

Online headline/story: "No one wants to buy the Obama's former vacation rental on Martha's Vinyard * A Martha's Vinyard estate is now for sale for $17.75 million * The house listed in July of 2015 for $22.50 million * This isn't just an ordinary picturesque Martha's Vinyard estate - it has a presidential pedigree.: -- Hmmmm.. "presidential pedigree"? Yeah, it probably smells like BO... you know, the pedigreed presidential pet .My high school English teachers would be proud of my alliteration.. that's a lot of "p".

From the "we gotta find out who's responsible and fire them" department - WTVM 9  headline/story: "Columbus man with six previous DUI convictions pleads not guilty to vehicular homicide * Dating back to 1986, Voss has had six DUI convictions from Harris County, Muscogee County, and also in the state of Alabama. * The latest conviction in January 2017, it is reported that Voss did have a valid drivers license at the time of the crash." -- Good grief! Everyone who was involved in Voss getting a valid driver's license following his 2nd conviction... whether the court clerk, the DMV data manager, or any lawyer who made an appeal should be fired and prohibited from ever holding a government job! Better yet, have them fired on... by a firing squad!

Yesterday, President Trump gave a press announcement outlining his 12 day trip to the Pacific rim. He addressed every business aspect...and when he finished, one reporter shouted out a question...should Moore resign? Mainscream media journalists don't even recognize the real stories that are handed to them.

L-E headline/story: "Bibb Elementary named to ‘Places in Peril’ list * The school built in 1915 for families living in the mill village Bibb Manufacturing once owned closed in 2001, after the mill shut down, and it since has been falling apart. * “Owned by the Muscogee County Board of Education, Bibb City Elementary is currently vacant and boarded. Part of the roof has collapsed, leaving a significant portion of the interior exposed. * (Mike Edmondson) dreamed of making it a center for science, technology, engineering, art and math, commonly represented by the acronym STEAM, with laser cutters and an electrical shop in the basement, and a pottery and glassblowing studio, a hydroponic garden, robotics, photography and coding instruction, and a weather and astronomy platform up top. * That would have cost around $8 million. Edmondson raised around $5,000 he used to pay for inspections and estimates and start a nonprofit Bibb Center Inc., hoping to draw more donations and grants. * According to Edmond-son’s latest estimates, it would take about $180,000 to clear the rubble and safely remove all the hazardous materials, and around $400,000 to install steel girders to stabilize the structure and support a temporary roof. * Superintendent David Lewis said the district still hopes the building can be sold or repurposed. Edmondson’s idea prompted considerable discussion of the school’s historic value, particularly its place in the Bibb City community. But much of that talk has died down, he said: Maybe the “Places in Peril” designation will revive it. * The school board could donate the property to the Historic Columbus Foundation, but that could give taxpayers the impression the district’s deficient in guarding their money, he said. * He acknowledged that if the school falls in, the district will have to pay for the remaining demolition and cleanup, leaving an empty lot for sale. The district has not sought a demolition estimate, he said." -- Where to start! Here's a building that has survived for over 100 years without the MCSD properly maintaining it, and for less than the MCSD wants to spend on metal buildings on slabs ($750,000.00 each and there are 6 scheduled) for wrestling/weight rooms, the building could be stabilized for someone else to use it for less than just one of the new buildings.. To boot, it looks like the MCSD has not secured the entrances to keep people from going in. injuring themselves, them suing us for negligence!
