I see where Synovus is on the lookout for " merging " possibilities...you know, when you advertise "you're looking", bigger companies are alerted to gobbling you up..

Why the rabid interest now? None of..well most of us have never been tolerant of sexual assaults/abuse, but there seems to be a surge of anger from the left like never seen before about weeding it out of politics and entertainment. Could it simply be that the Clintons are no longer going to get access to the White House again?

The DIMocrat platform for the November Elections seems to focus on raising taxes, open borders , granting illegals voting rights, free college, free healthcare and government jobs for everyone. Seems to me that we need more mental health inquiries as to DIMocrat voters rights to vote than we do for them to buy guns.

From the "now we know" department - After watching Congressional DIMocrats/Socialists sit quietly as Trump praised our military during the State of the Union speech, it was disconcerting to watch the DIMocrats/Socialists give a standing "O" when the French President talked about "climate change", but it was even more dumbfounding to listen to to the deadly silence from the DIMocrats/Socialists when Macron praised Democracy.

I'm curious...when Sally Lasseter was on the MCSB , she got pummeled by the L-E and DIMocrats when it was disclosed that she had children in a private school..A couple of weeks ago, it was disclosed that Kia Chambers' child attends a private school but neither the L-E nor DIMocrats seem the least bit concerned. This is a goose/gander thing with me.

While it's good that so many people have stood up to run for local office this election period, we need some review of what is/isn't a disqualifier... One candidate immediately withdrew as soon as he found out he couldn't be involved in T.A.D.s if he sat on a taxing authority (Council and MCSB are such) yet we have an incumbent MCSB member running for re-election (Chambers) and she is an owner of 4 different real estate business venture and T.A.D. development is part of those businesses, and we have one mayoral candidate (Henderson) who's a "lifer" in real estate. One MCSB candidate (Edmondson) resigned from a job in the MCSD to run, and one of his opponents (Steed) has an active $165,000.00 contract with the MCSD, another MCSB member (Buckner) actually works for another county's school system. Another MCSB candidate (Obleton) works in another state's (AL) school system... and a mayoral candidate (Baker) has a Homestead Exemption in another County, several Muscogee County properties (one on Brooks Rd is not even listed in financial reports) and address/viability status issues with local business entities,, and hasn't bothered to file his required donation/expenditure disclosures.. Another Council candidate (Bryan) actually works for the Chamber of Commerce which gets $1,000,000.00 in local tax dollars... and she heads the Chamber efforts for "Growth and Development"... and we see how that's diving even when most of the state is soaring..

L-E headline/story: "Michael Vick is returning to Atlanta for new football opportunity * Vick has been announced as the offensive coordinator for Atlanta’s new professional football team in The Alliance of American Football league. The team will have former Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress as its head coach and will play its home games at Turner Field " -- Hmmm... let's pray Vick doesn't get the concession contracts for supplying "hot dogs".

L-E headline/story: "Officials: Mold-covered bodies found at Detroit funeral home * Two bodies appeared to be covered in mold and the facial area of a third body was covered in unknown fluids at the Cantrell Funeral Home in Detroit on Wednesday, when state regulators inspected the establishment and ordered its closure. * Licensing bureau discovered "deplorable, unsanitary conditions" and remains in advanced stage of decomposition at the funeral home located on Detroit's east side." -- "deplorable"? Hmmm... I guess these were the "dead" that didn't vote for Hellary in Michigan.. guess she'll write another "excuse book" for an update.

WTVM 9 headline/story: "Columbus City Council won't take action in $16M housing plan * The Columbus City Council won't take action in a $16 million housing plan, but organizers say they will continue with their plan. * That plan would bring close to 100 homes to the city of Columbus. The decision comes after council members said the housing project would cause problems due to the location being on the National Historic Registry." -- Hmmm... hey MidTown, you've been abandoned.... did you notice Mayor Tom-LYING-son... she don't say "nuthin".. Oh, and while it may/may not have not been said yet, I'm betting the project will file for T.A.D. funding/favors...between this and the request for the development near the intersection of Manchester Expressway/J.R Allen Parkway, these are NOT the type of projects Tom-LYING-son preached about getting the issue passed.

Online headline: "'I'm ashamed of Republicans': James Comey goes in on the GOP during CNN town hall" -- Good grief.. desperate time bring desperate measures...James Comey.. you COULD resolve every issue with one statement, "I, James Comey, and embarrassed for my actions as Director of the FBI."

How was this story reported by WTVM 9 not get reported on in this L-E story? L-E headline: "Columbus mayor proposes 2.4 percent increase to budget" --
WTVM 9 headline/story: "Columbus City Council won't take action in $16M housing plan * The Columbus City Council won't take action in a $16 million housing plan, but organizers say they will continue with their plan. * That plan would bring close to 100 homes to the city of Columbus. The decision comes after council members said the housing project would cause problems due to the location being on the National Historic Registry." -- Hmmm... hey MidTown, you've been abandoned.... did you notice Mayor Tom-LYING-son... she don't say "nuthin".. Oh, and while it may/may not have not been said yet, I'm betting the project will file for T.A.D. funding/favors...between this and the request for the development near the intersection of Manchester Expressway/J.R Allen Parkway, these are NOT the type of projects Tom-LYING-son preached about getting the issue passed.
The only thing I can think of as why the L-E omitted "mentioning this" is that the L-E only wants to print "news" that makes Tom-LYING-son look good if old stories are dug up in her future political endeavors...sounds a tad bit like "collusion".

There's really only one major difference between DIMocrats and Republican platforms.. The DIMocrats is built on voters being :victims" and unable to achieve , while the Republican platform says, :"we believe you can make it on your own, and we'll do our best to make it happen by keeping government out of your face... and wallets.
 
---
Even education caters to making people "victims"... now "history" is presented as why you have no future rather than "here's what happened.. here's where to start your research about it, and with more knowledge we can keep us from doing it again".

From the "taking bets on the messenger's funeral date" department - L-E Guest Commentary headline/content: "COMMENTARY *Educational fraud continues *BY WALTER E. WILLIAMS * Earlier this month, the 2017 National Assessment of Educational Progress, aka The Nation’s Report Card, was released. It’s not a pretty story. Only 37 percent of 12th-graders tested proficient or better in reading, and only 25 percent did so in math. Among black students, only 17 percent tested proficient or better in reading, and just 7 percent reached at least a proficient level in math." -- How dare Walter E. Williams speak the truth! The real question is, "Why doesn't the educational system take this information and use it to stop the bleeding?" The rub is that theses statistics are just the end results of not making sure all students have achieved proficient reading skills before they are advanced past the 3rd grade..

From the "DOH!" department - L-E guest commentary headline: "OTHER VIEWPOINTS *
Aggressively liberal professors are pushing conservative students toward Trump * BY BRADLEY SCHOBER * The Baltimore Sun " -- You know.. the only lesson liberals will learn from this is to back-off the most vitriol attacks, and concentrate on getting their message of "victimization" the students came to college already indoctrinated in high school curriculum..
