Online story: "A third federal judge on Tuesday ruled against the Trump administration's campaign to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program for undocumented immigrants, ordering the administration to not only continue processing applications but also to resume accepting new ones." -- What is it with lower court judges even having a voice on a US program created by one president that isn't even a law.. what is their authority at ruling whether an Executive Order is "constitutional" or not.. Congress has the power to "undo" a presidential order, the sitting president has the power to curtail a previous president's EOs , and the US Supreme Court also has standings of equality with Congress and the President.. lower court judges "ruling" on non-laws are just "activists", and not far removed from "grandstanding".
 
By the way.. 3 out of 100's of such judges is not a presiding opinion.

Online headline/story: "Busloads of migrants from 'caravan' arrive at US-Mexico border *
By evening, two busloads of men, women and children arrived in Tijuana, a city that grazes southern California. * Another four busloads were making their way north from Hermosillo, a city 432 miles south of the border, where the migrants had been stalled for days." * Rodrigo Abeja, a coordinator from immigrant rights group Pueblo Sin Fronteras that has been organizing similar caravans for several years, said the caravan planned to regroup before making any decisions. * "They will wait for all those seeking asylum to be together," Abeja said." -- Let's see.. undocumented people from Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala.. three of the worst countries for crimes are traveling through Mexico,, the 4th rated worst country for crimes to seek entry into our country ahead of those that properly file documents for legal entry... I don't think so!
 
Writer's notes: "Researchers at CNSNews have previously reported that Mother Jones is a “news outlet” of The Foundation for National Progress, the left-wing "umbrella organization that exists to publish and support Mother Jones." It also founded the Media Consortium. The FNP received $485,000 in Soros funding in 2008. The Media Consortium, also still under the umbrella of the FNP, has received $675,000 since 2000, adding up to $1,160,000. Those figures come from 990 forms from Soros' Open Society Foundations. There's almost nothing Soros doesn't have his hands in."
 
In an April 3, 2018 "press release, Pueblo Sin Fronteras said, " WE DEMAND TO BE TREATED AS CITIZENS”

Online commentary headline/content: "STACEY ABRAMS Commentary: My $200,000 Debt Should Not Disqualify Me For Governor of Georgia * One of the traditional rites of passage for political candidates is the revelation of financial status–a catechism-like recital of money mistakes made and debts owed. * As everyone following the race now knows, I owe the IRS over $50,000 in deferred tax payments (I am currently on a repayment plan) and hold more than $170,000 in credit card and student loan debt. * But it should not—and cannot—be a disqualification for ambition." -- Good grief.. Abrams is 44 years old, and still doesn't have her own financial world in order, and her primary responsibility as a Governor of GA will be to control a balanced budget...no, being in debt doesn't disqualify her... but .. BUT it sure raise question about her abilities to our Governor.
 
You know, if I were an officer of the Georgia Bar Association, I think I'd have her law practice escrow accounts audited... today!

Online headline: "Trump glares at reporter who asks if he will pardon Michael Cohen: 'Stupid question'" -- If you didn't like Trump before yesterday, you would if you heard his response to a mainscream media-ite yelling out that question.. Trump looked in that direction and said "what a stupid question" then moved on.

From the "liberals and ACLU do not care about you...period!" department - HuffPOOPOO headline/story: "Greyhound is choosing to let Border Patrol demand its passengers' papers * Border Patrol officers routinely board buses without a warrant, without specific people they’re targeting, up to 100 miles from the border — and ask passengers for their papers. Greyhound, the nation’s largest intercity bus line, lets the Border Patrol do it and doesn’t plan to stop. * Greyhound officials say they’re just complying with the law. But 10 ACLU state affiliates argue Greyhound has the right — and the responsibility to its passengers — to demand a warrant for Border Patrol officers to board its buses. * They believe Greyhound could fight for its rights and win. But first they have to convince the company to try. * “The starting place is to not give your consent,” said Jordan Wells, an attorney for the New York Civil Liberties Union." -- You know, we should APPLAUD Greyhound... for looking after the safety of all its passengers and staff...why would Greyhound NOT WANT the Border Patrol to check out to make sure a criminal is not on board who could endanger passengers and staff alike.

I tell you what.. with the rise in using rental trucks to run down people on sidewalks.. maybe Sen Feinstein should introduce a new law requiring a photo-Voter's_ID card and a 7 day background check before anyone can rent a truck.

Online story: "Three missing Mexican students were killed last month in the western state of Jalisco and their bodies dissolved in acid after criminals confused them with members of a rival gang, authorities said Monday. * The three film students were last seen in the municipality of Tonala after their car broke down and they were later kidnapped by at least six people, who tortured and killed them, according to Jalisco state prosecutors. * "Subsequently their bodies were dissolved in acid so that no trace of them remained," the state prosecutors office said. * State prosecutor Raul Sanchez said that two people had been arrested so far in the investigation." -- "kidnapped by at least six people"? ... " two people had been arrested so far"? .. Hmmm... sorta implies that at least 4.. maybe more.. criminals may have already illegally crossed our border and gone to...or are headed to... a California "sanctuary city"..Build the WALL!

From the "As Her World Crumbles" department - Online story: "Police released a video Tuesday showing a former financial adviser to Hillary Clinton getting involved in a heated, profanity-laced confrontation with several officers. * Most recently, Turner has been a commissioner with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and was chairwoman of its ethics committee, Politico reported. * According to a police report from March 31, Turner's daughter had been pulled over on Route 9W by Tenafly, N.J., police, but allegedly could not provide proof of insurance or registration. So Turner was called to the scene to help resolve the matter, NJ.com reported. * Police video then shows Turner demanding to know what was going on, and brandishing her credentials as a Port Authority commissioner. * She was forced to resign last week because of the interaction with police during Easter weekend. * “The Port Authority has zero tolerance for ethics violations,” PA spokesman Ben Branham told the website. " -- Hellary who?

Online story: "A California State University, Fresno professor who called Barbara Bush "an amazing racist" and cheered her death will not be punished, the president of the university announced Tuesday. * Randa Jarrar was acting as a private citizen using her personal Twitter account so her remarks didn't violate any California State University or campus policies, Fresno State President Joseph Castro wrote in announcing the results of a review." -- "Randa Jarrar was acting as a private citizen using her personal Twitter account so her remarks didn't violate any California State University or campus policies"? Excuse me,, but when an (_@_) touts her "tenure: as protection, then she is hiding behind the school, and that, my friends, deflates the ruling by the school.
 
You know.. what the California University system is not confronting is Jarrar's racist talk/attitude.. it reminds me how how a juror in the Menendez brothers' trial was sympathetic to them because "they were orphans".. of course they were orphans their parents were dead... after being brutally shot multi-times with shotguns.

A big question to ask Amy Bryan of the Columbus Chamber of Commerce's "Growth and Development" department...and candidate for City Council seat 10 is, "What did you know...and when... about NCR's plan to close up shop?"
 
---
Seeing NCR announcing that it's leaving Columbus with over 1000 unemployed friends and neighbors, and remembering how Mayor Tom-LYING-son "preached" buying locally, but noticing that Tom-LYING-son supporter Synovus bought all it new ATMs from a German company, a fellow BCer reminded me that the CPD bought replacement guns for the whole department... but didn't buy them locally from H&K...
 
You know.. NCR puling completely out of Columbus is really going to affect other national companies as how they "see" Columbus..... hey, Amy Bryan..isn't this your area of expertise at the Chamber?

Online story: "As Mayor Kasim Reed was leaving office last December, more than a half a million dollars in year-end bonuses and Christmas party contest winnings was paid to dozens of employees working for Mayor Reed. * Those bonuses ranged from $5,000 to $15,000 dollars per employee. Employees ranged from the Mayor's scheduler to department heads and Commissioners." -- You know.. whether deserved or not, exit bonuses reek of abuse of the tax payers...it sorta looks like the former Mayor is buying loyalty from former employees.... basically "hush money".

Hey, Board of Elections..would you check with Panama City Beach, FL to see if my declared residence in Columbus, GA would allow me to run for Mayor there if I bought a vacation/rental condo there?
 
---
There seems to be quite a buzz in MidTown here in Columbus.. word has leaked out that a prominent piece of property on Wynnton at the "gate" of Hilton Avenue will become a public housing... taxpayer supported public housing.. Hey Mayor Tom-LYING-son.. are you moving out of MidTown after the first of the year... inquiring voters want to know.. Hmmm... and I guess we need to ask if this will qualify for the T.A.D. programs you championed?

L-E headlines: "TSYS starts year strong; profit shows 34% gain" * Synovus reports $100.6 million profit" -- Here it is folks.. this is what the new Trump tax bill is going to do for America...it puts more money in private sector play for better salaries and more jobs for growth!

L-E headline/story: "Trial opens in bystander’s ’14 killing * Anthony Deshon Walker was gunning for Keith Turner the night he fatally shot Marvine Bailey outside her home on Forsyth Street in Columbus, prosecutors told jurors Monday during opening statements in Walker’s murder trial in Muscogee County Superior Court." -- Ooops.. I can see it now..another one of those "it's not murder because I wasn't aiming at her defense". Wonder what kind of "odds" Las Vegas has on another "jury fail"?

From the "if you can't impress them with brilliance, dazzle them with BS" department - L-E headline/story: "Financial tech company to add 55 jobs in Columbus * InComm, a financial technology company that has been in Columbus since 2006, is preparing to add 55 jobs to its existing workforce here as part of a $20 million expansion in Georgia. * “We are excited that InComm will be adding 55 new jobs to its Columbus location,” R*** C*******, Development Authority of Columbus chairman, said in a statement. “Columbus continues to be well positioned for companies that are engaged in business support services and we know that InComm is expanding here because they are able to find the talented people they need, many of whom have prior military service.” -- Hmmm.. it's amazing the Development Authority of Columbus can try to cover up the loss of 1,000 jobs with picking up about 50...maybe...
