From the "more FAKE NEWS" department - Online story: "It's a stunning move ... LiAngelo Ball will no longer be on the UCLA basketball team and, in fact, he will not be a student at UCLA ... because his father, LaVar Ball, is removing him from the institution " -- Hmmm let's see.. LiAngelo is over 18... LiAngelo is on a "free ride" basketball scholarship..UCLA .. as any parent of a college student will attest, hasn't even talked to LaVar Ball ! What's more likely happened is that LiAngelo Ball has broken a scholarship ending provision of his contract, and "daddy" is trying to cover it up
---
Online headline: "Microwave weapon could fry North Korean missile controls, say experts" -- Hmmm.. with a weapon this sophisticated, why not just aim it at the overweight "cannonball with the short fuse", and fry the real North Korean missile controller?
---
The US Supreme Court agrees with Trump on his travel bans..what the US Supreme Court needs to do next is de-sanction the 9th District Court of Appeals, and impeach any appointed lower court judge that tries to wrongly take the Constitution into its hands.
---
From the "great parenting.... NOT!" department - Online headline: "Pink explains why she's raising daughter Willow as gender neutral" -- Good grief.. it's parents duty to teach their children that they have a purpose in life.. In my book, a child not understanding this has been abused.
---
Mainscream media is aghast that Roy Moore's polling numbers have returned to prior levels.. DOH... Alabama voters not only remember that mainscream media unbridled support of Hellary, Alabama voters have also been subjected to the Democrats in the Senate not being for tax cuts, nor other programs that support the middle-class.
---
Was just looking at a list of 15 cities that mainscream media is blaming Trump for the drop in tourism travel.. In order: Washington, DC, Orlando, New Orleans,San Francisco, Honolulu, Houston, NYC, LA, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, San Diego, Denver, and Boston.. Parsing the list, it's easy to understand why tourism has dropped.. and none of them are Trump related.. Of the cities on the list, Atlanta is the only one I have on my return destinations list.. and that's not because it's ATLANTA, it's because one of my daughters lives there with her family.
---
Online headline: "Congress' top 2 Dems to meet Trump on government spending" -- Hmmm... Pelosi and Schumer... I don't who's more disappointed.. me learning that Pelosi and Schumer are the top two Democrats, or the Democratic Party base of voters knowing Pelosi and Schumer are their leaders.
---
From the "well, it's a good start" - Online story: "Former Florida Democratic Rep. Corrine Brown was sentenced on Monday to five years in prison for mail, wire and tax fraud involving a sham charity." -- Hope this is a good omen of the future of the Clintons and their sham foundations..
---
Asked Council and the Mayor where is the FINAL DISCLOSURE list of the "Thaw the Freeze" committee she was a part of.. She sent me to the "Financial Disclosures" page of the Board of Elections Department of the Consolidated Government of Columbus..  been there, done that... BEFORE I asked .. The last report was dated October 31st, 2016, but there isn't one posted AFTER the election.. I suppose she feels that no money was received/reported or spent in the 8 days of November preceding the election end..

We know who John Pezold is supporting against Columbus's own.. and super qualified Secretary of State candidate, Josh McKoon, but let's hear from our other "Republican" state office holders/candidates.. how about it Richard Smith, Randy Robertson, and Vance Smith (others if I missed you). You know.. since electing a Columbusite to a GA Statewide office will be a boon for all of Columbus, maybe our legislators in the Democratic Party should go public as well.. who among them will put their Party above what's best for the community?
---
From the "whooooops.. the cat's out-of-the-bag" department - L-E headline/story: "Developers for TAD project seek delay of public hearing * At a Nov. 28 meeting, Mayor Teresa Tomlinson expressed concerns about using the funding mechanism to develop an area already rife with development, while many areas of south Columbus remain blighted." -- Details.. details... details... what's really happening is the Mayor is concerned about the maximum amount of bond that can be issued and not keeping her southside political promises to the Democrats in Columbus.
 ---
Uber-LIV's L-E "soundoff": "Don’t worry about Democrat Jones being bought and paid for. Worry about congressional Republicans sticking it to all Americans making under $75K so they can pay back their wealthy donors." -- Hmmm.. I don't know how having the personal deductions for a family raised to $24,000.00 will effect the lifestyle of a person with millions in annual income, but deducting $24,000.. BEFORE calculating taxes on $75,000 will have a dramatic positive impact on every family.
 ---
L-E commentary headline: "Tax reform has forced me to consider becoming a billionaire * BY CHRIS JOHNSON * Correspondent" -- Well why not.. liberalism has approved of anyone being whatever they wish just by announcing it.. even gender so why not economic status.
 ---
L-E story: "A federal law that effectively bans commercial sports gambling across most of the nation faced skepticism at the Supreme Court on Monday. * A majority of the justices indicated that the law had crossed a constitutional line by requiring states to do the bidding of the federal government." -- Good grief! Is Chief Justice John Roberts doing a total flip-flop on his reasoning to allow Americans to be fined if they didn't comply with FEDERALLY MANDATED "TAXATION" for not buying OObamaCRAP health insurance!
---
From the "no way" department - Missouri's Drew Lock was named 1st team SEC quarterback, and Mississippi State's Nick Fitzgerald was snubbed altogether.
--

You know the most disappointing.. as well as the most heartening aspect of electing Trump as president is finding out we are having to shine the "light of truth" into the carry-over FBI and DOJ.. It's even more of a bummer to find out that past FBI/DOJ leaders have been just as crooked as establishment politicians.
