So the power went out in Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.. hmmm... accidental... or did GA Power just "fire a shot across the bow" of the PSC/GA Legislature who are discussing whether to shut down construction of the new nuclear plant that's running so far over projected costs?

After listening to the Democrats public reasons they are against the Tax Cut Bill, forever more, they will be referenced to as DIMocrats.. maybe even DIMocRATS.

From the "how to float a lead balloon" department - Online headline/story: " Anita Hill is named chair of Hollywood commission to end sexual abuse * With the multitude of sexual harassment and assault claims that have rocked Hollywood, top executives in the industry have asked Anita Hill to chair the new Commission on Sexual Harassment and Advancing Equality in the Workplace." -- Anita Hill? Surely this is "fake news" that's a verifiable joke.

You know what's even more scary about Hellary.... if she had won.. Comey would still be in the FBI, Mueller would still be trying to pin something on Trump, the economy... and the stock market would still be floundering, our borders would be overflowing with illegals, extended OObamaCRAP, Al Franken would still be a Senator, Conyers would still be a Congressman, and.... America would be Grating Again.

From the"Number 1 contender for Worst Feeling Headline We Will Ever Read" department - HuffPOOPOO headline: "Disney executive, 58, charged with three felony counts of child sexual abuse" -- Walt! Come back, America NEEDS you!

From the "company most likely to be ostracized by liberals" department - Online headline: "Merriam-Webster selects 'feminism' as its 2017 word of the year" -- What a faux pas in the gender-less world of liberalism.

\For my Columbus friends...take your kids or grandkids for a fantastic light display on Springhill Ave (off West Britt David). Lonnie Smith and his neighbors have gone "All In" ... again...in 2017! Spread this to your friends and family, too.

If you want to know why our US Budget is in chaos, you only have to look and see the Democrat/RINO members of the House Budget Committee.
To start with, all California Representatives should simply be removed "for cause".. they include Tom McClintock, Barbara Lee, Ro Khanna, and Salud Carbajal..Same for New York and Illinois Reps.. Hakim Jeffries, Brian Higgins, John Faso (NY) and Jan Schakowsky (IL).. basically because neither state can balance a budget. Then, two absolute jokes of the Democrat Party are Debbie Washerman Schultz (FL( and Sheila Jackson Lee (TX). Congress should at least give Trump a budget committee that LOVES America!

So Mayor Tom-LYING-son's "stacked" committee rubber stamped her wish to tear down the current Government Center because it's in poor maintenance condition,, do they really believe a new one will be better maintained? A real question that needs a prompt answer is when and how 4 more people were appointed to the original 23 person committee appointed/named last January? We KNOW "why"..she couldn't get a majority confirmation for option 1 from the 23, so 4 more were added... we just don't know their names and affiliation/loyalty to the Mayor.

A Democratic spinmeister, Jessica Tarlov, on Fox actually said she preferred higher taxes on businesses...it was during a discussion on how the tax cut bill and regulation cuts will help small businesses. And you wonder why the economy flounders under Democrats setting policies. Locally, we have, unfortunately, our own Tarlov clone in Mayor Tom-LYING-son.

WTVM 9 headline/story: "MCSD earns national award for effective budgeting * “The award represents a significant achievement by the entity,” said the Association in a release. “Budget documents must be rated ‘proficient’ in all four categories, and in the fourteen mandatory criteria within those categories to receive the award." -- Good grief.. I can only imagine what the "standards" are.. no private business can survive with 85-87% of the budget going to salaries and benefits, nor only 3% going for maintenance.
---
Online headline/story: "Al Franken drags out Senate departure, only mentions ‘transition’ after replacement named * Franken, in his speech, noted his original plan regarding an ethics investigation, which he thought would help. And he argued that “some of the allegations against me are simply not true. Others, I remember very differently.” -- Hmmm.. guess we need to look for Franken to renege on the basis that he hasn't admitted to any allegations (other than the photoed one) since the mainscream media short attention span will move onto some new scandal since Moore lost in Alabama. Mentioned this possibility soon after his speech, and now it looks like more of a probability.

Online headline/story: "Bongino on FBI's Trump 'Insurance Policy' Emails: 'If This Happened in 2008, the Country Would've Exploded' * That text was revealed on Tuesday night when the Justice Department released hundreds of messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, who were romantically involved and at one point worked on Robert Mueller's Russia probe. * “I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office - that there’s no way he gets elected - but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk,” Strzok texted on Aug. 15, 2016. “It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40.” - "If This Happened in 2008, this country would've exploded"? Exploded? No,, more like IMPLODED.. especially if it occurred within the Democratic Party primary campaign season. Oh... and Mueller was the head of the FBI at that time...

Once again, why is mainscream media 'giddy' about the DIMocrats chances in 2018? It seems mainscream media is drinking DNC Kool-Aid again.. and using wins in governors races in NJ and VA, and a Senate win in Alabama as the "fuel"..Looking at those races objectively, we see, both VA and NJ are predominantly DIMocrat/Blue States, and in the Alabama Senate Special Election, even though Jones "won", Jones LOST 6 of the 7 Congressional Districts in spite of 50% of the Republican Party voters NOT going to the polls. Oh,, and though mainscream media doesn't mention the GA House race where DIM0crats spent $30-plus MILLION wasted dollars trying to get Ossoff, and still lost, that matters BIG time for the midterms elections.

Uber LIV's L-E "soundoff": "You don’t own them - I support the military, the Second Amendment and Christian values, and I’m a Democrat. If you voted for the morally bankrupt Trump, where are your Christian values?" -- Hmm.. gosh, who'd have thought supporting partial birth abortions is a "Christian value" in DIMocrat-speak?

From the "and you wonder why the economy fails under DIMocrat rule" department - L-E headline/story: "Tax breaks, fast internet could bolster rural Georgia * Associated Press * MILLEDGEVILLE, GA. * A group of state lawmakers have approved sweeping proposals aimed at encouraging people and businesses to move to rural Georgia. * The group recently voted to support income tax breaks worth up to $6,000 a year, high-speed internet lines in unconnected areas and better health care access, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported . * High-speed internet is a critical step toward growth in rural areas because without it, businesses and residents might move elsewhere, said state Rep. Patty Bentley, D-Butler. * “You need access to broadband to make all of it work,” Bentley said. “Having access to internet is very critical to attracting industry into your communities. * Lawmakers say they also want to encourage businesses to relocate to rural areas, and improving internet service, education and health will help accomplish that. * An income tax deduction worth up to $3,000 a year for anyone who moves to a rural area. The tax break would double in counties that also give real estate property tax discounts for new residents. " -- "An income tax deduction worth up to $3,000 a year for anyone who moves to a rural area. The tax break would double in counties that also give real estate property tax discounts for new residents."? Good grief.. if enough people moved into a rural county and got $6,000 income tax DEDUCTIONS, AND property tax discounts, most local governments would be bankrupt trying to provided just existing services to the new residents because the counties would not be benefiting from tax revenue increases! We just have too many DIMocrats (and DIMocrats disguised as RINOs) in the GA House.

Soapbox Moment/Random Thought: The release of Mayor Tomlinson's "committee" recommendation seems somewhat tainted.. Last January, the Government Center committee of 23 was named, yet when the results were recently released, there are now 27 members, and Tomlinson barely got a majority to support her preferred option of a complete rebuild.. and at $126,000,000.00. Somehow, I don't recall any stories increasing the size of the committee, but it looks like without the 4 "extra" voters, there must not have been a chance Tomlinson's preferred option would have been the majority one. Who are the additional 4 members and their connection with the mayor (15 of the original 23 had personal connections with her)? Secondly, how is the proposed new Government Center going to be maintained? We've already seen the lack of a maintenance plan for all the projects Tomlinson has initiated during her terms in office, and the number one reason she promotes a new building is because the old one has not been maintained properly.

From the "mainscream media cannot get it right even when TRYING to be biased" department - Online "headLIE": "Trump defends tax plan as 'great Christmas gifts' to middle class" -- It's not a "tax plan", it's a TAX CUT plan, and he's not trying to "defend it", he's keeping his promise... hmmm.. maybe this is why mainscream media has such a tough time with Trump... mainscream media is not use to reporting on political campaign promises KEPT that actually help the average American taxpayer.

I have a question for Mueller... how come Trump's transition e-mails are so available, yet Hellary's State Department/personal server e-mails weren't?
---
From the "that's rather redundant" department - Online headline: "Trump to unveil 'America First' strategy" -- Where were these people during the election campaign when Trump revealed his "America First" strategy... now Trump is just KEEPING his PROMISES the best he can under Congressional rules.

Here's a way to get what you "want" for yourself... and "give" to Chattahoochee Valley Jail Ministry Inc at the same time.. instead of just going to Amazon, go to "Amazonsmile" ( https://smile.amazon.com/ ) , and when you buy there, a smidge of your purchase goes to Chattahoochee Valley Jail Ministry Inc/SafeHouse Ministries. This is a fabulous local organization that serves not only our "homeless", but those IN prison (and their families), and those released who are having a tough time adjusting..

It's funny... in a sad way.. when all-of-a-sudden, a FB "friend" ends the relationship because of a difference in political views. Sad because not discussing the differences in an intelligent manner is why people cannot come to common grounds.. and come up with solutions rather than "kick the can down the street". I know that when I express my opinion.. or challenge another's, that I have references to point to that support my views, and opposite view people will not continue conversations when they have nothing to refute mine or support theirs.

L-E headline/story: "PUBLIC WORKS * Columbus cemeteries audited after complaints * “Earlier this year, a family came out and said, ‘Grandmother has passed. We’ve got a family section here. We want to go out before we schedule the funeral, want to come out and make sure everything looks like we want it to look,’” Barfield said. “... Well, when we went out there, we found that someone else had been buried in her spot. * “... These people got their situation rectified,” she said. “They were satisfied with the service; it was resolved. But with the record keeping and the processes that we currently have in place, there’s no way that we could start being proactive and try to avoid these issues.” * Barfield said the cemetery division is already looking into possibly getting new software that would provide a physical record of the cemeteries, as well as which plots are sold and which ones are available. It would also help insure the process is being followed consistently, completely and accurately. * In reviewing the perpetual care funds, the audit found money that could be available for the software, which one company has priced at less than $100,000, Barfield said." -- " software, which one company has priced at less than $100,000"? Good grief.. cemetery plots ARE deeded property.. why not just use the new Tyler Technology software the Mayor Tom-LYING-son inflicted on us to inventory the cemetery properties like homes/business properties... FOR FREE!

At one time you could probably stop sexual harassment in the work environment simply by not hiring women in certain job types. or men in other job types.. Nowadays, you can get them in all environs.. even when sexually segregated.
