From the "poll truth" department - HuffPOOPOO story:"More than half of Americans are now in favor of the GOP tax law, according to a new Survey Monkey poll released Monday by The New York Times. * A Survey Monkey Spokesperson told The New York Times, “Considering where it was, it is dramatically different.” * Fifty-one percent of the country approves of the tax changes which is up from only 37 percent of the country in December. * According to the New York Times, other polls have shown similar results. A Monmouth University poll in January found support had risen to 44 percent nationally from 26 percent in December." -- Hmmm..basically, American workers/voters have told the DIMocrats... in no uncertain term... Hey, Obama .. Bill and Hellary .. Biden .. Pelosi.. Schumer... YOU LIED!
---
The National campaign focus for November 2018 for Republicans should focus on the economy and tax cuts.. Republicans, especially those running for Senate seats against incumbent DIMocrats should pound out this message... "my opponent voted against tax cuts for your family, he/she supports sanctuary cities/states and voted against border security for your safety , he/she voted against our military being respected worldwide... and if he/she says anything different, he/she is LYING TO YOU ... AGAIN!
---
You know.. as we get closer to the campaigning season for ongoing local government leadership, I hope those that stay and those that come on board for the first time remember something that Mayor Tom-LYING-son never brought to Columbus.. we Columbusites need to think.. or at a minimum.."feel", that we are safe.. cared for.. alright.. that's something that has been missing for the last 7 years.
---
We seem to focused on the crime and murder numbers under Mayor Tom-LYING-son's watch, but who is keeping up with the number of businesses that have closed in Columbus under her reign? Oh, and the loss of revenue the City and MCSD received on sales taxes.
---
Whether it's local or National, any crime rate declines have to include mention that illegal border crossings are down 50%, and the thanks need to be directed to Trump, not local politicians.
---
Looks like Council District 7 has lost another contender.. an e-mail forwarded to me by Mimi's last announced challenger shows Garret Lawrence pulling out.. said he was more concerned with being able to make money under the "T.A.D." program than in helping all Columbus get back on it's feet.

Blue Cross of Idaho is offering.. ultimately subject to government approval, health insurance policies that do not conform to "OObamaCRAP" * "There's just no question that what Idaho is allowing is on the face of it not permitted under the ACA," (Larry) Levitt (a senior vice president at the Kaiser Family Foundation, a health-policy think tank) said. "Probably most egregious is that these new plans charge sick people more than healthy people, and that's clearly prohibited by the ACA. * Blue Cross says it will begin to sell the plans in early March, with coverage starting in April." -- You know.. OObamaCRAP (ACA) is basically dead since not buying no longer gets you fined..and no one has to buy the new Blue Cross of Idaho's new offering.. so.. isn't this exactly what our healthcare system "needs"... a user supported policy...
---
From the "did you expect anything different" department - HuffPOOPOO headline: "Celebrities slam President Trump in honor of President's Day" -- Leave it to HuffPOOPOO to consider slamming the sitting President on Presidents' Day is a "honor"..
"When" .. "Where"... and most importantly, "Why" did our education system go so wrong...
---
Fergie...what were you "on"? If there was any good in her rendition of our National Anthem was that NBA/NFL players saw first hand at how their disrespect for the National Anthem makes our Country feel.
---
Online headline: "Mariah Carey gives Fergie advice after national anthem performance at NBA All-Star game" -- Hopefully, the NBA will be wiser-smarter .. than ABC .. and not invite Fergie back to the next NBA game...
---
From the "are liberals always this dumb" department - Online headline: "X-ray analysis of Picasso masterpiece reveals hidden painting" -- Good grief.. I imagine most significant works of art have something painted-over underneath the current surface.. it was.. still is.. called "recycling"...what does an artist do with work that either no longer pleases him/her or didn't "sell".. Does the artist just throw it away, or simply paint over it with a new idea?
---
The Monday stance of mainscream media is that the (_@_) Cruz in Florida just didn't bring enough attention to himself that he had issues..Hmmm.. in my book, when 3 dozen 911 calls go in about someone and there are zero arrests, and a school expels a student, and the school system just reassigns him to another school, there were plenty of opportunities to issue an arrest warrant that might have put a stop on his gun background check.. The problem was "political correctness" run amok..
---
Online headline: "Teens stage White House 'lie-in' to protest lack of gun control" -- Good grief.. talk about whining... and whining only for mainscream media.. the Trumps were in Mar Lago yesterday...
---
You know.. mainscream media didn't need to go to Washington to get pictures of teens lying on the streets pretending to be shot.. they could have gone to Shicago and actually gotten pictures of 31 shot last week.
---
As tragic as any killings at a school are, why doesn't mainscream media show concern for the 100s of thousands of deaths by abortion at Planned Parenthood?
---
From the "wait a darn minute" department - Online headline/story: "Killer wants $100G from book deal to go to his kids' education, Michigan says: Not so fast * The state of Michigan is reportedly looking to pocket more than $100,000 from an convicted killer's book sales as compensation for his imprisonment, but the inmate wants his children to get the money for their education. * Dawkins, a father of three, was sentenced to life without parole. * In July, Simon & Schuster published Dawkins’ book “The Graybar Hotel,” a short story collection which “offers a window into prison life through the eyes of his narrators and their cellmates.” * The felon reportedly received a $150,000 advance for his work * In October, the state’s Department of Treasury filed a lawsuit demanding 90 percent of Dawkins’ assets. * Michigan is one of dozens of states that can force inmates to pay for the cost of their imprisonment * The advance he received from the publishing company was split with the founder of a literary magazine who helped him get the book deal in the first place." -- Excuse me, but how does a convicted felon serving his sentence get to conduct legal work in the first place, that's not associated with his incarceration/appeals? Being a convicted and sentenced felon pretty much voids out his Constitutional rights other than protection against "cruel and unusual punishment". The "founder of the literary magazine" who "helped" him get the book deal needs to be prosecuted for smuggling in contraband (unsigned document), and sneaking in a pen (sharp pointy object that could be used as a weapon).
---
Online headline: "Bill Clinton wants to give his opinion about whether or not Lewinsky documents should be released" -- Wait a minute let's rewind a bit to separate Hellary and Biden 'moments": Hellary... "what difference will it make", and Biden: B-- F------ Deal". Besides... as shown on Lewinsky's blue dress, Slick Willie already had his chance to "release" his opinion of Lewinsky... and Hellary..
---
From the "if we try hard enough, we can make it look normal" department - Online headline/story: "Girl power: life's going swimmingly for all-female fish species * An all-female freshwater fish species called the Amazon molly that inhabits rivers and creeks along the Texas-Mexico border is living proof that sexual reproduction may be vastly over-rated." -- Try... try as they may, there is already a scientific term for such life forms.. "asexual".. and we already know of another life form, the "earthworm" that is also "asexual", but what the proponents of this story about the Amazon Molly were in no hurry to mention in this story is that there actually IS male fertilization in their reproduction. Late in the story, it is casually "mentioned" that, ""The Amazon molly female produces clones of itself by duping a male of a closely related species to mate with her. The asexual mode of reproduction termed gynogenesis requires the female to mate with a male but none of the male's genome is passed to the offspring," said geneticist Wesley Warren of the McDonnell Genome Institute at Washington University in St. Louis. * The Amazon molly's egg cells are activated to develop into an embryo by a sperm cell that degenerates without fusing with the egg's nucleus."
---
The Winter Olympics have about lost me...while I certainly admire the guts of folks who do acrobatics on skis/snowboards, they are still basically "cult/trash sports" and do not fit what I consider Olympic standards. What's next, Ice Skate Derby?
---
That Over-the-counter brain improver made from some part of Jellyfish is advertising again...why does the maker think I actually want to swallow some part of a jellyfish? I have zero good experiences involving any jellyfish contact in my 70 years of beach vacations.
---
Thank goodness for President Trump.. while mainscream media and DIMocrats and RINOs alike have focused on nanny-nanny-poo-poo "investigations", President Trump has restored world confidence in America, put our economy back on track, gotten a massive tax cut through, eliminated the tax on people's choice about health insurance, gotten businesses to come back to America, and cut illegal border crossings in half. Oh, and our military is PROUD again! Good job!
---
Gun laws are not weak...just the enforcement of them, as is the handling of abusers by the court system.
---
What is the difference between the (_@_) kid who killed 17 in Florida, and the (_@_) who killed those 9 churchgoers in South Carolina, and, for that matter, the 3 kids that bludgeoned 3 generations of a family? Dylan Roof has been sentenced..RIGHTFULLY.. to death as should the Florida killer and the killers here in Columbus. Oh, and why is Roof still breathing a year after his sentencing?
---
From the "for what" department - Good grief...sick lawyers are grabbing cameras and microphones in Florida saying they are trying to save the school shooters life. WHAT IN THE WORLD FOR? So he might get out in the future and do it again?
---
You know, Mueller, Schumer and Pelosi concerns about Russian efforts to influence our elections might get better traction if Mueller, Schumer and Pelosi would start with to open and known efforts of Obama trying to undermine the Israeli elections.
---
Oprah just announced that the world's point of view of America has digressed because Trump considers some 3rd world despotic countries as "s***holes". Good grief, nothing Obama did gave any foreign country, especially those which looked to us as their ally, the comfort that America could support them against terrorist uprisings.
---
Jennifer Lawrence has announced she's going to become a "politician"..This from a celebrity who said, "“if Donald Trump becomes president, that will be the end of the world,”... Well, as an actress. this will be a real stretch for her abilities since there's plenty of imagery showing that she has no moral compass.
---
L-E headline/story: "Guilty verdict for teen in 2016 triple murder trial * The jury deliberated around 22½ hours before notifying the court at 3:15 p.m. that it had a partial verdict. Burks had faced 10 counts, but the jury hung on half of them, and Judge Gil McBride declared a mistrial on those charges. * The other charges were three counts of malice or intentional murder and two counts of felony murder. * Burks’ indictment shows the felony murder charge on which he was convicted was for Caleb’s death." -- And on Burks' record. will be the ABSENCE of the death of two other people.. including a 10 years old girl and his bride, and those deaths will not be part of any future discussions if Burks ever gets a parole hearing. At least the jury did not leaving the Shorts without some justice.. too bad the Robert Short will never be able to put this behind him knowing those 3 animals will still be breathing when he passes.
---
L-E headline: "Pending buyer of dilapidated, historic Bibb City school would pay $15K, plans to redevelop it" -- The only good thing for Columbus is that the old Bibb School property will be back on the tax digest... but at only $15.000.00 which interprets into a maximum of $247.50 in property taxes.. Of course, the developer will get T.A.D. designations and literally get a tax freeze on that property for some 20-to-30 years. Our MCSB and Council need to go back to school and learn business economics.
---
Talking about Bibb City properties.. did you know that when the Hospital Authority of Columbus bought the River Mill Event Center, the Hospital Authority paid the previous buyer a $900,000.00 dollar premium for owning it one year?
