Online headline: "The US team is falling apart at the Winter Olympics and is on pace to have its worst medal performance in two decades" -- Hmmm.. could it simply be that "our" Olympians were spending too much time on practicing politics and representing their own agenda rather than practicing their skills and representing America?
---
From the "style over substance" department - Online headline/story: "Oprah agrees to match George and Amal Clooney's donation to 'March for Our Lives' * Oprah Winfrey is matching George and Amal Clooney’s donation for the survivors of the Parkland, Florida school shooting. * A group of teens who survived the shooting is organizing the March 24th "March for Our Lives" movement in Washington, D.C. in support of gun control and reform. * George and Amal have announced they’re donating $500,000 to the march in the name of their twins, and Oprah is following suit." -- Good grief.. if Oprah, and the Clooneys wanted to "help", then they should donate their money to either unseating DIMocrats who have destroyed personal responsibility and accountability within the court system, or... OR spend their combined wealth on buying up stolen/illegal guns and destroying them. As it is, I hope someone keeps an audited accounting on where their donations are SPENT... we all know the money will be in some promoters' pockets.

You know, students marching, or getting on buses and heading to state, even National capitals, to change our Constitutional Amendment just shows how poorly the education system has explained... has taught ..the Constitutional process to our students.
---
Now, if Oprah and the Clooneys want to do some real good with their money, how about pooling it and going after the lawyer of the Parkland, FL (_@_) killer who insulted the deaths of the 17 and taunted their families when she said ""Nikolas Cruz could plead guilty in Florida high school shooting to avert death penalty". I mean.. "could" plea guilty.... gimmee a break! No, give the (_@_) lawyer two breaks.. a leg and a skull.
---
From the "and libs say Donald Trump is a megalomaniac" department - Online headline: "LeBron James: “I Mean Too Much to Society to Not Share My Political Views” -- What can I add to this.. LeBron shot his toes off simply by shooting off from his lips..
---
Since Mitt Romney has declared his run for US Senate from Utah, mainscream media has been quick to remind us what Romney said about Trump in 2016.. Now that Trump has kept his promises he made to America, I think it's about time for Romney to make amends and a public apology to Trump.
---
Not only is it ironic, but it's pathetic that the state of NY is advertising lower taxes as a reason for new businesses to come there..After all, Schumer and Gilliland voted against the Trump Tax Cut.

L-E headline/story: "Columbus chef was at odds with landlord before his lease was terminated * Keating Culinary had a five-year lease with the Hospital Authority of Columbus, Georgia executed shortly before the authority completed purchase of the property for $3.4 million from RiverMill Studio LLC. The property is being held for the future site of a nursing home or senior living facility, said Hospital Authority President Frank Morast." -- The worst reveal is that the Hospital Authority bought prime real estate in a Mayor Tom-LYING-son T.A.D. area using taxpayer backed bonds. In addition, the Hospital Authority gave the previous owners an $900,000.00 profit on what they had paid for it just one year before that. But getting back to the reason that the Hospital Authority bought it is frightening in that the HA bought it for speculative reasons, not immediate needs.

Online headline: "Lindsey Vonn '99.9 percent sure' 2018 will be her last Olympics" -- Well, I second that.. and clap in gratitude that is was...
---
Another from the "style over substance" department - Online headline/story: "Banks are mulling a creative way to enforce gun control even if the government doesn't make a single change * "Assault weapons would be eliminated from virtually every firearms store in America because otherwise the sellers would be cut off from the credit card system," Sorkin wrote." -- Good grief.. as Reagan use to say, "“It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.” First, no store retails "assault/automatic weapons".. that's already illegal. Secondly, most American gun owners/buyers would ditch their credit cards and get one that doesn't ban their use, and third, like SNAP/EBT cards, retailers would "wink" and just ring up wrongful sales under another category.
---
Word is that Trump wants to block the sale of "bump stocks"... and I agree... we saw how "bump stocks" could be used in horrible ways during the Las Vegas massacre.. my view is that a "bump stock" actually interferes with the accuracy if you're hunting, so I would never want one anyway..
---
From the "this is what you get when a city is run by DIMocrats" department - Online story: "A former Sanitation Department honcho is pulling in an astonishing $285,047-a-year pension — more than twice what he was making on the job, according to newly released data. * And that’s just one of dozens of huge pension payouts revealed in records published Tuesday by the Empire Center for Public Policy— data that lay bare the city’s insanely generous pension system, the government watchdog said. * “Pensions like these are unheard of in the private sector — and deserve the close scrutiny of taxpayers,” said Tim Hoefer, executive director of the Empire Center." -- Hmm... guess we should maybe have a forensic audit of Columbus' pension plans before... and after... Mayor Tom-LYING-son exits office...
---
From the "greed rears it's ugly head" department - Online headline/story: Woman who cared for Florida gunman reportedly wants to control his inheritance * Just one day after the shooting massacre last week at a Florida high school, the woman who cared for the alleged shooter and his brother filed court papers seeking control of their inheritance, which could total up to $800,000, according to the New York Post. * Roxanne Deschamps also had Zachary Cruz, the brother of shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz, involuntarily committed to a mental facility shortly after the massacre, the Post reported, citing a family source. * Deschamps, a longtime family friend of the Cruz brothers, began looking after them after their adoptive mother, Lynda, died of pneumonia in November. * While there are no indications Deschamps would be able to obtain the inheritance for herself, she could charge a fee for her efforts administering the estate, subject to judicial approval. * The Broward County Sheriff’s Office has filed a motion asking the court to determine whether Cruz is indigent and eligible for a taxpayer-funded defense. * If the court concludes Cruz can pay for his own legal defense, he’ll have to hire a private attorney. * His money -- including any inheritance he obtains -- would be subject to seizure in a civil judgment, including one resulting from any potential wrongful death lawsuits filed by his alleged victims." -- Once again.. "it's about the money".. Now, the Court should dismiss the (_@_)'s appointed lawyer.. you know, the one that insulted/taunted the dead and their families by saying, "Nikolas Cruz could plead guilty".

Maybe I've missed it.. but probably not... but where is the L-E's investigation of Jehmu Greene's accusation of inappropriate behavior she leveled against local state representative Calvin Smyre? This is a more important issue in Columbus than all the "#metoo" claims in Washington or Hollywood.Maybe I've missed it.. but probably not... but where is the L-E's investigation of Jehmu Greene's accusation of inappropriate behavior she leveled against local state representative Calvin Smyre?

From the "empty threat" department - LIV's L-E "soundoff": " If you are a congressmen and receive money from the NRA you will not get my vote!" -- Hmmm... As Popeye might start... me thinks this "soundoffer" has never.. will never .. vote for a Republican..yet will wrongly thank DIMocrats for the new tax cut (well, if he/she has a job) enhanced paycheck he/she is receiving.
