From the "they're back" department - Online headline: "Trump welcomes back Americans freed by North Korea" -- "freed by North Korea"? Media bias is even present in the headline in spite of reality... the three were released because of Trump's presence in the White House..
 
---
From the "can you blame them" department - Online headline/story: "Mormons to end long association with Boy Scouts of America * The Mormon church announced Tuesday it will sever a more than century-old tie with the Boy Scouts of America and transfer its remaining 425,000 boys in the program into a gospel-focused youth group it is developing." -- You know, with 2.7 Million enrolled on Boy/Cub Scouts, losing 15% is not a "death blow", but it sure should be a wake-up call...What's significant, is that the Mormons are not a dissident segment.. the Mormons are the ones trying to keep the tradition...
 
---
Online headline: "9/11 alleged mastermind comes out against Haspel's nomination as next CIA chief" -- What a great reason to confirm her!
 
---
From the "now we know which side he's on" department - Online headline: "Republican Senator McCain says he opposes Trump's CIA nominee" -- Good grief.. when is either McConnell going to disassociate McCain from the Republican Party or McCain reveal his party switch?
 
---
NBC Online headline: "Failed candidate Blankenship attacks McConnell, brings up China again" -- Typical mainscream media strategy.. Blankenship was handily rejected in WV by Trump Republican voters, so now NBC will give Blankenship air space to vent against other Republicans.. What's wrong, NBC.. Hellary doesn't have another "Would you believe this, then" book being released this week?
 
---
From the "lynch mob mentality" department - Online story: "Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia was indicted in a 1996 sexual assault case, but not tried after his accuser declined to testify, court records surfaced by the Detroit News show." -- Hmmm.. looks like mainscream media is opposed to the 11th Amendment of our Constitution, too.. about a person being innocent until PROVEN guilty by a jury of his/her peers.. Seems like mainscream media is more in favor of a "trial by furor" than a "trial by Jurors".
 
---
Online headline: "Two teens killed after a Tesla Model S burst into flames following a crash " -- My first thought is to pray for all the families...My first question is what parent would allow their high school son behind the wheel of a vehicle capable of reaching 60-MPH in under 3-seconds...
 
---
From the "obviously Mom failed Eco101 in college" department - Online headline/story: "NBA hopeful's mom likens NCAA to slavery; Condoleezza Rice defends planned reforms *
“When you remove all the bling and the bells and the sneakers and all that, you’ve paid for a child to come to your school to do what you wanted them to do for you, for free, and you made a lot of money when he did that, and you’ve got all these rules in place that say he cannot share in any of that,” Carter said. “The only other time when labor does not get paid but yet someone else gets profits and the labor is black and the profit is white, is in slavery.” -- Good grief... it's called "work"! and "play for pay".. it's "reward for effort".. it's called "compensation for value"... but the boss is like an engineer on a train.. only he gets top "pull the whistle".
 
---
From the "Remember the Titans" department - Online headline: "Israel strikes ‘nearly all’ Iranian infrastructure in Syria after Iran rocket attack, minister says" -- Yes... "leave no doubt!"
 
---
The next time some DIMocrat running for Congress tries to tell you he/she is "non-partisan" and can "work across the aisle", tell him/her you're more concerned about whether he/she is "non-PELOSI".
 
---
From the "who's the Chief Public Safety Officer" department - Online story: "The Denver mayor whose son was caught on video using an anti-gay slur directed at a police officer during a traffic stop says he hopes his son can meet face-to-face with the officer again -- to apologize. * The comments from Michael Hancock on Tuesday came hours after a local news station published a video showing his 22-year-old son, Jordan, telling an Aurora cop “my dad’s the mayor, you f-----g f----t” during a March traffic stop. * Jordan Hancock was ticketed for driving 65 miles per hour in a 40-mph zone and agreed in court Monday to pay a $250 fine." -- What's missing in this story was the Aurora Police Officer's response to the "my dad's the mayor" rant.. the police officer responded , "(mayor) of Denver... you're in Aurora"...
 
---
You know.. the new bill Deal signed in making use handheld cellphones illegal basically shows how STUPID GA legislators can be.. Even in this era of built in Blue Tooth connections, most... maybe all, new cars cars are not equipped to handle two-or-more cellphones at the same time when a husband and wife are together and swapping of driving times. Can't wait to see the State AG defend this in court.
 
---
Online headline/story: "State probing voting problems in Atlanta mayor’s race * The Georgia Secretary of State’s Office said Tuesday that it has launched an investigation into potential irregularities during the city of Atlanta runoff in December that yielded a narrow victory for Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms." -- You know.. I really doubt this would have been an issue except that new DIMocrat mayor Bottoms has pushed to expose the illegal payoffs by the outgoing DIMocrat mayor...
 
 
---
LE headline: "As NCR exits Columbus, firm enjoys posh Atlanta offices" -- and the reality is that now that "Columbus Bank and Trust is no longer COLUMBUS Bank and Trust, Synovus even sounds like it ought to be based in Atlanta...
 
---
Hmmm.. Question of the season: If Zeph Baker should win the mayor's race, will he actually reside at the address he filed in his candidacy declaration?
 
---
Looking into Zeph Baker's claims sorta brings his neighbors into scrutiny.. There are 5 homes on Bolton Ct including the one Zeph Baker lists as his qualifying address.. last month, another address was list on his record as the one to send tax information. That has been "cleaned up following a meeting we had 4 weeks ago. But looking at the tax base info and seeing the five homes on Bolton Fair Market Valued between $100,110.00 and $114,700.00 brings questions into Baker own evaluation of his 1091 Bolton Ct address listed at a value of "over $200,000.00 on his qualifying financial disclosure" (For the record, ZILLOW.COM feels this residence is valued at $114,710.00). For one of his neighbors, we also find that a H1 homestead exemption is given even though tax information to him is routed to an apartment in North Columbus.. We definitely need to know if Baker's definition of "transparency" is being defined by Slick Willie Clinton.
 
---
L-E story: "The gun that a former U.S. Army soldier used to kill his wife then himself on Monday was purchased on the same day as the shooting, according to Columbus police." -- Hmmm...16, or 16 & 17?
 

---
L-E headline: "Defense attorney calls witnesses ‘Three Stooges’" -- Hmmm... does that mean the ADAs can refer to the defendant as "Stooge number 4"?
