From the "grandstanding one's stupidity... the Barney Fife effect" department - Online headline/story: " Florida deputies will carry rifles on school grounds after Parkland shooting * "Our deputies who are qualified and trained will be carrying rifles on school grounds from this point forward," Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said during a news conference Wednesday * The school district's superintendent, Robert Runcie, supported the decision, Israel added. Some of the deputies will be carrying single-shot AR-15s, he said." -- "single shot AR-15s"? Guess the deputies will carry their bullet in their shirt pockets...
Sheriff Israel MUST be a DIMocrat.. he practices the Obama policy of advertising his next moves to "the enemies".

Unfortunately, there are many...too many ways to abuse children.. none are "OK" in any manner, but one of the most objectionable abuses occurs when politicians use children to raise emotional response to issues that they cannot get sympathy for based on weak data. We've all been drawn into it with local pleas of "it's for the children", but watching politicians hide behind children speaking about Constitutional issues, then taking advantage of the children's' naivety and lack of maturity and redirecting the demonstrations to push their own agenda is horrible.. We are seeing it live in Florida and wherever politicians can get access to mainscream media cameras.

Just heard one of the permanent DIMocrat's talking head spinmeisters on Fox News adamant about stopping mentally ill persons running around with guns killing people. I've never heard her say the same about stopping illegal aliens running around shooting/raping American citizens.
---
Ever figured out why mainscream media/DIMocrats get in such a frenzy find a way to end mass shootings, yet object violently to building "the wall" which WILL help stopping killings by illegal aliens?

From the "Pete Rose Syndrome... or how to eliminate your Hall of Fame eligibility" department - Online headline/story: "Mark Cuban fined $600,000 for saying tanking 'is our best option' * On Monday, Cuban said that he had communicated with his team that tanking “is our best option.” * "I'm probably not supposed to say this, but, like, I just had dinner with a bunch of our guys the other night, and here we are, you know, we weren't competing for the playoffs,” Cuban said Monday on a podcast with Hall of Famer Julius Irving. “I was like, 'Look, losing is our best option.'" -- Hmmm... sorta like "shaving points" or "betting on/against your own team". Bookies and bettors would have a field day with this info..all to better position his team in the next draft...
I tell you what, as a player, if an owner or coach ever told me to "lay down", I'd have walked out of the locker room...

Online headline: "Hillary Clinton Caught in Another Massive Lie… This Time About School Shootings" -- "Massive lie"? Sad... no, pathetic.. Hellary has gotten to the point that "LITTLE while lies" no longer satisfy her need for deception.

Online headline/story: "Truck hit by train carrying GOP lawmakers was in crossing after warning, NTSB says * The train carrying members of Congress to a Republican retreat in West Virginia last month struck a garbage truck that had entered a railroad crossing after safety gates had come down, according to a new report released Wednesday. * The train, which was operated by Amtrak, also had a forward-facing camera, which showed as the crossing came into view, "the gates were down and the refuse truck was on the grade crossing."" -- And the plot thickens... My first 2 questions were "why did the truck driver plus two stay in the cab", and "why was there not a law enforcement officer assigned to road/railroad common crossings". Look like this may have been intentional.. a conspiracy...and possibly a "suicide mission" by the men in the garbage truck.

Online story: "Georgia has more than 500 hazardous sites in need of costly cleanup, but an analysis of state spending shows that it routinely shorts the trust fund that’s supposed to pay for them. * Less than half of the $14.5 million in fees the state collects on average for hazardous waste cleanup annually is spent on that need, a WSB-TV analysis of state budget figures shows. The rest goes into Georgia’s general fund for other purposes. * “We find that a lot of people had no idea this was going on,” said Jesse Demonbreun-Chapman with the Georgia Water Coalition." -- "a lot of people had no idea this was going on"? You know, this is sad, but what we really need to know is the names OF THE PEOPLE WHO DID KNOW THIS WAS GOING ON!

Heard a rumor of another Council Post 7 candidate may be running since Wilson and Lawrence pulled out.. Oh. it was nice to see Bart Steed FINALLY turned in his "Declaration of Intention" form on Feb. 9, 2018 for MCSD District 2... it has been reported more than once before this date that he was already a qualified candidate..
---
L-E headline/story: "MCSD says it’s ‘upside down’ on Bibb City school, board votes on sale * The Muscogee County School Board has sold the dilapidated but historic Bibb Elementary School for $15,000 to former Georgia state Rep. Earl T. Davis. * To the taxpayers, Cantrell said, “It is our responsibility and on our shoulders to say, ‘What are we doing as far as your money out there?’ You’ve got to have some trust.” -- Hey, Mark Cantrell... the taxpayers are calling .. because you haven't EARNED the trust you feel you are entitled to have!

L-E headline/story: "You pay less for garbage because of prison labor. What happens if that all goes away? * Columbus has the largest prison work camp in the state of Georgia.
* On any given weekday, hundreds of prisoners hit the streets to collect trash, clean city buildings, dig ditches, maintain roadways and other locations such as golf courses.
* But what would happen if the program, which has existed for more than 135 years, suddenly went away? * Mayor Teresa Tomlinson said it’s a real possibility that could have a big impact on your finances. * “You need to understand that our work camp yields about $17 million in value to this city,” she said while answering a question at her last State of the City address. “So right now your garbage fee is $17 a month. That’s because the labor is largely free. * “If the work camps were to go away, you need to start thinking in the range of $32 to $35 a month,” she added. “And that’s just sort of the beginning.” -- Hmmm First, since we pay $17.00 a month for garbage collection, perhaps it's time to look at the City Charter compared to State regulations that to be a city, police/ fire and garbage collection are required functions... seems to me, a separate garbage fee system is against the basic tenets required of maintaining our charter.. Secondly.. maybe we need.. no, we DEFINITELY need a forensic audit of all garbage related expenditure.. (including dumps/landfills and the recycling plan..). Thirdly, we need a plan if the Mayor leads the elimination of prisoners usages.. I suggest we consult former Sheriff Joe Arpaio to make us a plan for a low cost prisoner "Tent City" to be built on "former" Mayor Tom-LYING-son's spacious homestead.

Online headline: "Former MSNBC anchor Dylan Ratigan running for Congress" -- Hmm as a DIMocrat... in New York..I can see his campaign slogan.. Dylan Ratigan.. another DIMoc-RAT who RAN"

From this story: "Last spring, Ratigan was hired by his former MSNBC colleague, Cenk Uygur, as a contributor to his Young Turks Network. Uygur told The Hollywood Reporter that Ratigan will be a "great" candidate. * "He's not going to be weighed down by any party orthodoxy," Uygur said. "He's a truly independent thinker." -- "independent thinker"? Yeah.. right.. there are no "independent thinkers" in the DIMocrats.. I think the DIMocratic Party established this during Trump's SOTU speech when none stood up to praise a 12 year old who was spotlighted for putting US Flags on veterans' grave sites.

Have you heard that Clinton Campaign Manager Amanda RenterĂ­a has announced she is running for governor of California? Believe the only question I would ask her if running against her would be... Did you support Hellary's covert plan to rig the primary against Bernie?
---
Online headline/story: "Inmate set to be executed: Veins too damaged for injection *
Alabama is set to execute an inmate who argues his past drug use and cancer have too badly damaged his veins and will make the lethal injection unconstitutionally painful." -- Excuse me, First.. since he was sentenced to die, why were measures taken to treat his cancer... Secondly, as Hellery might say, "What difference does it make" if he suffers a little pain from a lethal injection.. he's not going to have to live with it very long.
---
Online headline: "Teen Vogue’s Lauren Duca rips ‘evil’ Rev. Billy Graham: ‘Have fun in hell’" -- Well, the good news, Ms Duca.. is that by acknowledging "hell", you have acknowledged God... and I imagine God just put you own His naughty list..
---
L-E headline/story: "Local animal shelter raising money for new washers, dryers * The CEO of the nonprofit animal shelter said a campaign has begun to raise $20,000 to purchase two new washers and dryers. * Yeo said the campaign is being led by volunteers Judy Brouillette and Doug McLeod." -- Has anyone run a criminal background check on volunteers?
---
From the" technically they ARE children... but..." department - L-E headline: "15-year-old boys charged in drive-by shooting on St. Marys Road" -- This is where it starts... the court failure.. two 15 years olds will be treated like children.. sentences will be sealed.. and their record will not show up on gun background checks when they are old enough to buy them.
---
L-E headline/story: "Florida students demand change to gun laws at rally * Filled with fury and impatient for change, hundreds of Florida high school students rallied Wednesday at the state Capitol to demand that lawmakers take action in the final weeks of the legislative session to curb the sale of assault rifles. * “Anybody who opposes common-sense gun legislation should fear for their jobs,” called out Andre Santos, one of several students who joined lawmakers and gun-control advocates." -- Hmmm.. and any student who doesn't know...understand.. our Constitution and history should have to re[eat school from the 8th grade up.
---
From the "bogus list" department - L-E headline: "35 restaurants in Columbus make top places to eat list" -- Hmmm.. any list of good restaurants that leave out "Smokey Pig" and "Epic" is bogus...at best..
---
It's sadly comical... OK sickly comical... that mainscream media is so concerned about "the missed messages" the Parkland, FL (_@_) sent to authorities, but has no concerned for the blatant messages of criminal illegal aliens send daily because there's no wall on our Southern border.
