From the "just shows how far re=moved from reality politicians have become" department - Online headline/story: "Lawmakers slam Trump for referring to Haiti, African allies as 'shithole countries' * Lawmakers slam Trump for referring to Haiti, African allies as 'shithole countries'" -- You know.. not one of the political "sources" "thinks/feels" any different than what Trump states openly, yet they condemn Trump for being truthful..yet none of them leads the charge to go to these countries and dedicate THEMSELVES to making things better.
Allies?... I think of allies as friends that offer help and friendship in return.. not just being tolerant of us as long as we prop them up.

From the "Bill Clinton must have defined 'brilliant' " department - Online story: "Elon Musk attended a now-notorious Silicon Valley event that has been called a "sex party," his spokesperson told Business Insider. * But Musk insists he thought it was a "corporate" party with a costume theme and saw no sign of sex when he left at 1 a.m." -- Hmmm.. what kind of "costume party" gets scheduled in June?... a "Swim Suit Issue" theme? Wonder if Musk had another 'missile failure'?

Online story: "A Washington Post journalist who was criticized last year when she participated in a liberal conference has now been put on indefinite leave by the newspaper for her attendance there, according to CNN. * Janell Ross, a reporter for the Post’s national desk, attended a private gathering of Democratic lawmakers and liberal activists hosted by advocacy group Democracy Alliance in November. * Ross reportedly attended a panel about “getting the economic narrative right," -- "getting the economic narrative right"? Good grief..no wonder the mainscream media is in lockstep with the DIMocrats... DIMocrats are making up the "sound bytes/talking points" for mainscream media.

Our Mayor Tom-LYING-son says we don't pay enough property taxes.. she even went after the "Constitutionally UPHELD tax freeze on personal homes. Let's see. (it is public record), for 2017, we paid $5,170.01 in property taxes on an assessed valued of of $344,720.00... That's about 1.55%, and that's WITH "the freeze" on a slightly higher value of $347,000 when I purchased it 14+ years ago The state of Georgia's "average" percent of property tax is 0.09% (some 2/3rds lower)
27. Georgia
> Effective property tax rate: 0.9%
> Median home value: $159,300 (19th lowest)
> Per capita property tax collections: $1,011 (19th lowest)
> Median household income: $51,244 (19th lowest)
Of course, you have to go to the 12th highest property taxed state (Michigan) to find one as high as Muscogee County, GA. Yes Mayor Tom-LYING-son.. it's you that is delusional..

From the "would you believe" department - Online headline/story: "Pole Dancing Could Be The Next Olympic Sport. No, Really! * Pole dancing has already been granted “observer status” by the Global Association of International Sports Federation (GAISF,) which means it’s conditionally recognized as a sport. This means it just got one step closer to being in the Olympics. Once it’s formally recognized as a sport, pole dancing groups will officially be able to apply for Olympic entry." -- This story only needs Jon Lovitz being the one saying, "would you believe".. and why not.. not only does the Olympics have "Synchronized Swimming", it has "Synchronized Swimming - SINGLES", too. I ask you, how do you synchronize yourself?

Online headline: "US slaps highest-level 'do not travel' warning on five Mexican states" -- Hmm.. and Californians "feel" that "the Wall" will be bad...You know.. let's just "wall off" California from the rest of the Continental US states.

From the "hey DIMocrats... well DIMocrat voters .. you can thank President Trump for this" department - Online headline/story: "Online headline/story: Walmart boosts pay for one million U.S. workers, tax reform is the reason why * The retailer is boosting starting hourly wages to $11 an hour. Additionally, the retailer will give one-time $1,000 bonus payments to workers, depending on length of service at the company. * t is also extending maternity and parental benefits. " -- Just in case you're mathematically challenged.. a Million people getting $1,000.00 bonuses means an ADDITIONAL BILLION dollars in cash infusion to America's economy.. Hey, Columbus Chamber of Commerce.. how about explaining how this effects the local economies.

Online headline/story: "(Dan) Bongino (former Secret Service Agent) on NBC Plan to Show Super Bowl Anthem Kneelers: Time for NFL to Tell Players to Stand! * If any players decide to kneel for the Super Bowl LII national anthem, they will still be shown on the live broadcast, NBC announced this week. * “When you are covering a live event, you are covering what’s happening. If there are players who choose to kneel, they will be shown live,” said NBC Sports executive * The announcement came one day after President Trump took the field for the national anthem in Atlanta before college football's national championship game. producer Fred Gaudelli at an event on Tuesday." -- Sorry NBC, I already plan on "not watching" the Super Bowl, but thanks for the reinforcement on WHY I do not watch the NFL..

L-E headline/story:: "Powerball win makes Cuthbert pecan picker a multimillionaire * BY CHUCK WILLIAMS * A Cuthbert, Ga., man was picking pecans one minute, and the next he was a multimillionaire. * Willie West Jr. recently collected on a winning Powerball lottery ticket worth $2 million, according to a news release Thursday from the Georgia Lottery Corp." -- Hmmm for the second time in two days. Chuck Williams shows why he got a degree in journalism rather than math or business.. While the Lottery ticket may have a face value of $2,000,000. the winner is not a multimillionaire... taxes will be taken out reducing the amount considerably below the "multi-million dollar" level.

From the "libs biased?"department - L-E guest commentary headline/content: "The dancing monkeys break bipartisan hearts * BY FROMA HARROP * Sen. Lindsey Graham’s reputation as an honorable conservative lies like a ripped-up banana peel at the bottom of the baboon cage. What happened? What turned the principled voice from South Carolina, respected by Republicans and Democrats alike, into one of Donald Trump’s dancing monkeys?" -- Hmmm.. so it's OK to call politicians "monkeys" as long as they are white... What does "From a (Camel)Harrumph" call Graham's partner Senator from SC, Sen Tim Scott?
