Puh-leese Br'er Joe... puh-leese Br'er Bernie.. puh-leese don't throw me in that there brier patch!

Last week, a 4 page "memo" detailing FBI abuse of FISA warrants against the Trump campaign was circulated within the US House of Representatives.. Accordingly, t appears that former President Obama has retained counsel before it is released to the general public. The 4th of July may come early this year.

Online story: "The bipartisan U.S. Conference of Mayors, whose annual winter meeting in the nation’s capital kicked off Wednesday, had been scheduled to sit down with Trump to talk about the opioid epidemic and infrastructure. But the group’s leader canceled the session, citing the White House’s "decision to threaten mayors and demonize immigrants yet again." * A prominent group of mayors meeting in Washington called off a scheduled White House meeting with President Donald Trump on Wednesday after the administration again threatened to withhold funding from nearly two dozen local governments they claimed aren’t following immigration laws. * Dozens of mayors still met with the president as scheduled — just not under the banner of the USCM, as had been planned" -- "bipartisan"? Only in the sense that there are Republican mayors, but the group that faltered are all DIMocrats...

From the "hey, Jewish Americans, are you listening?" department - Online story: "Former Secretary of State John Kerry is reportedly considering a presidential run in 2020.* Kerry met with Hussein Agha, an ally of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, in London where he touted the idea when discussing the Middle East’s peace process, the Jerusalem Post reported Wednesday citing Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv. * In the meeting, Kerry suggested Abbas should “hold on and be strong” because Trump won’t be in the White House much longer. * Kerry even used “derogatory terms” to describe Trump and said Abbas should personally attack the President rather than the U.S., according to the report." -- It is beyond me why 70% of the Jewish community of the US supports DIMocrats.

From the "carrying the 'Fixer-Upper open floor plan model' a bit too far" department - Online story: St. Mary’s College, a Catholic secondary school in England, is in hot water after the school removed the exterior walls from the girls’ bathrooms, exposing the stall doors to an open hallway, a classroom and a security camera * The school, which is a self-governed private school for 11-to-17-year-olds, reportedly decided to renovate the bathrooms to feature an open floor plan in an attempt to reduce smoking, bullying and truant behavior in the restrooms * The boys’ stalls are reportedly undergoing similar changes" -- Wonder if St Mary's has saved a spot for Dr Larry Nassar to become it's in-house medical specialist when he gets out of jail in 175 years?

Online headline: "Obama officiates wedding of staffers, past and present" -- Hmmm does being a former president mean you are given the powers of ordainment and licensed to perform weddings.. or does Obama still believe he's the Messiah?

From the "maybe the Brits have something else "stiff" other than their upper lips" department - Online headline/story: "The men's club that hosted a charity dinner where hostesses were allegedly groped and harassed has shut down * The Presidents Club, which last week hosted an exclusive all-male dinner and charity auction where hostesses were allegedly groped and harassed, has shut down following a damning Financial Times report into its activities. * A spokesman for the club told Business Insider: "The trustees have decided that the Presidents Club will not host any further fundraising events. Remaining funds will be distributed in an efficient manner to children’s charities and it will then be closed." * One of the charity dinner's chief beneficiaries, Great Ormond Street Hospital, has also announced that it will return all of the money raised for it at the event." -- What is the "Great Ormond Street Hospital" thinking.. why return the money to the donors.. wouldn't that basically mean those men got an evening of "free groping"? the Hospital should just reroute the funds to a Men's Mental Health Facility or a Women's Abuse Recovery Center.

From the too much time and money available" department - Online headline/story: "Dozen camels disqualified from Saudi 'beauty contest' over Botox use * The dromedaries paraded down a dusty racetrack as judges rated the size of their lips, cheeks, heads and knees. Crowds of men watched from the bleachers, hooting when the beasts representing their own tribe loped down the track. * A dozen beasts have been disqualified from this year's Saudi "camel beauty contest" because their handlers used Botox to make them more handsome. * And for the Bedouin of Arabia, nothing is more essential than the camel, used for centuries for food, transport, as a war machine and companion." -- "companions"? Wonder what treatments Bedouins give to their female sheep and goats?

Where do DIMocrats get the idea that Obama's DACA order entitles those covered to American citizenship? Even the DACA name (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) states that this is a Deferred Action program.

Passing along on FaceBook is the question, "How quick would DIMocrats want to build "the WALL" if illegal aliens wanted to vote as Republicans?"

Apple, Disney, Starbucks.. with all the bonuses these liberal oriented companies hand-out to their employees, plus the executive bonuses, by the time November of 2018 and 2020 get here, no DIMocrat will have enough ion donations to be able to run a campaign...

It's somewhat ironic that all Senator UpChuck Schmoozer can do is read speeches on the empty Senate Floor, yet didn't bother to read the OObamaCRAP Bill before sending it back to Pelosi...hmmm... or, worse yet, he did read it and knew exactly how bad it was.

L-E headline/story: "Man on trial says he didn’t think shotgun was loaded * The young Columbus man accused of fatally wounding a friend while the two toyed with loaded shotguns in 2015 testified Wednesday that he didn’t know the gun he had was loaded and never meant to pull the trigger" -- Once again, the Jon Lovitz Defense... "didn't know it was loaded, didn't mean to pull the trigger, wasn't aiming at him... yeah! That's the Ticket!" Meanwhile, I'm looking for another jury-fail/slap on the wrist verdict..

L-E headline.story: "Proposed TAD project returns to Columbus Council despite concerns *
In December, Mayor Teresa Tomlinson, who was absent from Tuesday’s meeting, said “it’s not the public’s role to subsidize private development.” She believed the first TAD referendum failed in 2007 because voters feared the funds would benefit private developers instead of distressed communities. * (Councilor) Davis said councilors recently received current revenue numbers for the six TADS that already exist. He said for three of them the revenue is zero; the other three combined are generating $90,000 in total revenue. And that’s impacting the city’s General Fund, he said." -- I'm surprised that Mayor Tom-LYING-son is on the correct side of this.. but probably for the wrong reasons.. she probably feels she hasn't gotten enough "return (political donations)" on her "investment" in going along with and creating the control zones going out Manchester Expressway towards the contractors' family enclave.

I'm against the TAD in general (as the 1st 6 show it is not financially favorable to the City), but the ingress/egress routes would have to disrupt existing neighborhoods and nature sites.

Longtime politico Col Retired John House has joined the Council Post 10 race.. Tollie Strode has previously announced as well.. both are good men.. just wish one of then[m would have thrown his hat into the Mayor's race.. My support goes to Tollie Strode, a West Point grad, and even though he's affiliated with the Democratic Party (not to be confused with the DIMocrats) in the past, lead a most successful defense against Mayor Tom-LYING-son's assault on homeownership in Columbus, and against the MCSD bringing in Camelot for special needs students. The great news is that either a will be welcomed change in Post 10. Too bad one can't be Councilor and he other Mayor..
