Before there's any more discussion, why is the issue of separation of illegal alien families at the border... or not, even an issue? The situation revolves around a criminal act...a parent.. or parents.. decide to attempt to put themselves ABOVE ... or contrary to .. the law, are caught, and must be held responsible for his/her/their decision... Why should situations .. whether at the border.. or inland... be given any different consideration than CITIZENS of this country breaking a law and having to be separated from his/her/their children to serve the time in prison (consequences) of the decision?
 
And while we are discussing parental separations from families.. why is there more concern about the imbalance of ethnic groups serving time in prison rather than why there is an ethnic imbalance committing crimes?
 
One other thing, in 2009 and 2010, why did not the DIMocrats pass a law.. even though it would eventually be challenged and overruled based on Constitutional issues ... when they had super-majorities in the House and Senate.. dealing with the issues they now complain about.. Instead of addressing it, Obama dealt with it with Executive Orders which carry weight only until EITHER a new president or the Supreme Court eliminate such. DIMocrats are the BLAME for what's left for Trump.. and AMERICA.. to deal with..

From the "talk about separating illegal alien families!" - Online headline/story: "At least 5 dead after SUV carrying illegal immigrants crashes, sheriff says * Dimmit County Sheriff Marion Boyd said four people died at the scene off Highway 85 in Big Wells, Texas, at about noon, and one other person died at the hospital. A sixth person was said to be in "very" critical condition. * In all, 14 people were inside the SUV, including the driver and passenger, according to the sheriff. The driver, believed to be a United States citizen, was rushed to a hospital; the passenger, also believed to be a U.S. citizen, currently is in custody." -- Hmm ... at least 5, and probably 6 illegal aliens are dead.. this is a PERMANENT separation of families... Solution: "BUILD THE WALL, STOP IT ALL"

DIMocrats are out calling putting illegal aliens in containment is "unAmerican".. Excuse me? Aren't the illegals the unAmericans"?

From the "best example of irony in awhile" department - Online headline/story: "Trump quip about North Korea's Kim sparks outcry on social media * Trump indicated a White House visit by Kim was possible: "Hey he's the head of a country, * "He speaks and his people sit up" -- And in America, Trump is head of our country, and when he speaks, mainscream media and other socialist "spit up". Trump 2020!

Online headline: "Parkland students kick off nationwide bus tour in Chicago to promote young voters to register" -- Good grief.. whatta waste of time.. since most high schoolers are not OLD ENOUGH to vote, why didn't this group just appeal to Shicago teens not to shoot so many of each other so they could GET old enough to vote?
 
---
Online story: "Public works projects around the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago could cost Illinois taxpayers nearly $200 million, * The presidential center would sit in Chicago’s South Side neighborhood." -- In Shicago's South Side? What a brilliant plan.. Obama can place his school, travel records and Manifesto inside it without fear of them ever being discovered.. with it's ongoing street violence, who among historians will venture into South Shicago?

From the "Kenny Loggins, (This is it) Make no mistake where you are!" department - Online headline/story: "Tourists visiting San Francisco question if they're in 'bad side of town' * Since the beginning of the year, reports have surfaced of hypodermic needles dotting the streets, piles of human feces and expanding shanty towns for the increasing homeless population -- and now tourists are noticing * "Is this normal or am I in a 'bad part of town?'” an Australian Reddit user asked the San Francisco Reddit community Wednesday. * “Why is this city so terrifying?” a Canadian visitor asked on Reddit Sunday." -- Hmmm... seems rather obvious that California needs to start developing "Sanitary Cities" rather than "Sanctuary Cities".
 
---
From the "bias..what bias?" department - After years of mainscream media excoriating any network for bring Chelsea Clinton into the news, mainscream media certainly has no issue with going after all of Trump's family.

Not to be outdone by Reagan's "Evil Empire", Trump has nailed the Comey/Lynch-Holder/Obama Triangle of Terror as the "Den of Thieves".

Online headline: "Angela Merkel's German government facing collapse over her immigration stance * Angela Merkel’s government is on the brink as the German chancellor battles her coalition partners on immigration and asylum seekers. * The coalition between Merkel’s Christian Democrats (CDU) and the Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU) has fractured over the latter’s new proposed policy that would turn away more asylum seekers at the country’s borders. * In 2015, her 'open door' policy to migrants saw approximately a million refugees flood into the country. Although migrant arrivals have dropped steeply in the past two years, Germany still registered around 11,000 new asylum-seekers each month." -- Whoa.. once you stop laughing at the thought of the possibility of their being a Christian Democrat, you'll thank yourself for not electing Hellary ...

From the "just as it should be" department - Online headline/story: "San Juan Mayor Who Criticized Trump Now Being Investigated for Corruption * Cruz may be the hypocritical one here. New reports suggest that corruption in San Juan prevented critical supplies from reaching Hurricane Maria victims. The FBI is investigating suppliers and Cruz's administration." -- Hmmm... who knew.. that her wearing the "Nasty Woman" t-shirt would turn out to actually be prophetic?

My go-to store for lightbulbs has been Lowe's for years... I started making them my exclusive and destination spot because they sold other brands than GE, and I swore off GE when Obama tapped GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt as his economic adviser and we would no longer buy 60, 75, or 100 watt incandescent bulbs. Well, no more..Went to Lowe's yesterday and saw nothing but GE bulbs..I'm looking for a new outlet.

L-E headline/story: "Judge drops charges against victim, suspect in Eagles Trace Apartments shooting * Charges against a man accused in Monday’s shooting at Eagles Trace Apartments were dismissed Thursday in Columbus Recorder’s Court. * Jasaan Alexis Marion, 19, was facing one count of reckless conduct and aggravated assault in the 6:18 p.m. shooting at 2001 Torch Hill Road. Police Detective Delante’ Odom asked Judge Michael Joyner to dismiss the charges during a 9 a.m. hearing. * Based on the investigation, he believed or made the determination that it was a self defense case. “It basically means my client had not violated the law,” he said. “I was pleased.” * Police said the shooting was sparked from an ongoing dispute between Marion and another man. The shooting between the two men left Marion and a third man injured. * The gunfire erupted in the parking lot near the mail boxes at the apartment complex, police said.-- "Based on the investigation"? Did the investigation include information as to whether the gun was legally owned (is 21 the age when a handgun can be owned?), and a carry permit issued.. and did the investigation reveal that this 19 year old was the victim of a random assault/robbery...did the investigation reveal all three of the men were carrying... We're doomed.. now a judge is kowtowing to knowing that this case would end up with another local "jury fail"..

Perhaps the the most damaging revelation of the IG's report is to Obama..mainly as to why Obama didn't fire Comey and McCabe before the election...or at least before Trump took office.

From the "most hypocritical comment of the 21st Century" department - Online headline: "Bill Clinton 'offended' over criticism of his tarmac meeting with ex-AG Lynch" -- Slick Willie was offended? Good grief.. the majority of 300 Million Americans had the right to be "offended".. not Clinton! In fact, I'm OFFENDED that all 300 Million plus Americans weren't offended by the Lynch/Clinton meeting!

Online story: "-- African-Americans made up 29 percent of the voting universe on May 22, counting both Republican and Democratic ballots. Which means that Stacey Abrams, the Democratic nominee for governor, still has turnout work to do. Thirty percent of the 6.1 million registered voters statewide are African-American, an area in which Abrams must overperform if she’s to have a chance in November." -- You know.. GA's black community should be offended that they are EXPECTED to support a candidate because of her color rather than a candidate's leadership and management skills! Sadly, they did it in the primary as well.

L-E headline: "MCSD reports reveal cleanest, dirtiest schools for past academic year" -- I just wish the MCSD/MCSB would be more revealing about the cleaning contracts companies..
 
---
Saw an ad in the Columbus L-E based on, "Don't Want a Cookie-Cutter Funeral"?" -- Good grief.. aside from does it really matter, but how would you know if your wish for a non-cookie-cutter-funeral was actually carried out?
 
---
I'd never play golf with Bill Clinton... like politics, I'm pretty sure he "lies as he plays it"
 
---
I see where George Cliff, longtime PGA professional affiliated with the Ft Benning Golf Course, has passed.. hope he joins my Dad for another round soon..
 
---
L-E headline: "Republicans blindsided by Trump opposition to immigration plan" -- Blindsided? Nah,, it's just some of them weren't listening.. then nor now.. Trump keeps his promises...

L-E story: "Google released its annual workforce diversity report Thursday, marking only modest changes from last year. The company remains mostly white and male. * Overall, Google’s global workforce is 69.1 percent male and 30.9 percent female, virtually unchanged from 2017. * In its breakdown on race and ethnicity, which only covers U.S. employees, 2.5 percent of Googlers are Black/African American, up from 2.4 percent in 2017. Black women make up only 1.2 percent of the workforce, compared with 1.8 percent for black men. Women identified as Latinx make up 1.7 percent." -- Amazing.. one of the most liberal companies and executive groups showing how it really feels about diversity... Follow the money to it's political donations.

Question: If you are a L-E Subscriber.. even just an occasional reader, who won the 89th Southeastern Invitational Amateur Championship this past weekend? It ended Saturday at the historic Donald Ross layout at the Country Club of Columbus yet there's NO mention of it in Sunday's or today's edition of the Columbus (via Macon) Ledger-Enquirer. To boot, a young accomplished Columbus golfer won! Congratulations Stanton Schorr.. oh, congrats, too, for Ben Carr finishing tied for 3rd.. he's another accomplished young Columbus golfer.. Of course, the Columbus/Macon L-E has no interest in PGA golfer Russell Henley.. a Macon product now building his home in Columbus.. PITIFUL!

The left has made a major mistake in presenting the IG's report...they feel WE are the stupid ones...Well, as Forrest Gump would say, "Stupid is as stupid does".
 
---
Didn't see, I bet...at least not if you get your news from sources other than the Fox News channel, but the FED projects a GDP growth of over 4%....this would never have happened under a 3rd term of Hellary/Obama.

On Saturday, I felt this way: Say it ain't so, Phil! That awful exhibition on the 13th green on Saturday. If someone told me how you acted, I wouldn't believe they were talking about you...but I watched it myself...I'm still slack-jawed! Later, Phil Michelson explained that he was using an official rule to his best advantage..he knew the ball was about to roll off the green and would go another 50 yards back down the fairway.. In a way, you have to applaud Phil for his knowledge of, and using the rules of golf to his advantage.. and his QUICK thinking.

Hey, Mayor Tom-LYING-son.. you to new/old Councilpersons and those in the runoff next month.. before the fiscal year ends, how about P&L statements for the Natatorium, Ice Rink, Swimming Pools, and the Recycling Center..

Online headline/story: "Former IRS attorney says IRS 'should go after' Trump * “The New York State attorney general yesterday filed a lawsuit against the Donald J. Trump Foundation and its directors, accusing the charity and the Trump family of violating campaign finance laws, self-dealing and illegal coordination with the presidential campaign,” Philip T. Hackney wrote. * “I believe Mr. Trump is also criminally liable for his actions,” Hackney added. * “If I were still at the I.R.S., based on the lawsuit, I would make a criminal referral, on charges of tax evasion or false statements on a tax return, or both." -- "if I was still at the I.R.S."? Hmmm.. well Mr Sir Crabs-a-lot, when you WERE at the I.R.S., why didn't you GO AFTER the Clintons and their foundations, and Lois Lerner and Obama who used the I.R.S. to undermine new conservative 501 (c) 3&4 applications for creating foundations?

From the "it's not one world" department - Online headline/story: "Nigeria soccer fans are banned from taking their lucky chickens into World Cup matches * A Russian politician has told Nigeria soccer fans they cannot take live chickens to 2018 FIFA World Cup matches. * The chickens are seen as lucky mascots but the government has slapped a ban on taking them into games ahead of Nigeria's opening World Cup match against Croatia on Saturday." -- Whew! We dodged a bullet by Obama NOT getting the World Cups here during his terms.. some of the games would have been in California, and California would allow the Nigerians to marry their chickens and bring them into the stadium as spouses.

L-E headline: "Secret recording, unpaid loan stir governor’s race" - Didn't the Walton Family just deny that this was something they would do?

L-E headline/story: "Court reinstates California’s right-to-die law * A state appeals court has reinstated – at least for now – California’s law allowing terminally ill people to end their lives. * The Fourth District Court of Appeals in Riverside issued an immediate stay Friday putting the End of Life Option back into effect. * The law allows adults to obtain a prescription for life-ending drugs if a doctor has determined that they have six months or less to live." -- Good grief... a state appeals court has the power to determine life and death.. well it is California.. Of course, the judge could.. should have ruled that if someone was interested in dying in the next 6 months, just take daily walks in sanctuary cities wearing bling until some illegal alien kills them for it.

Online headline/story: "Seven highlights from bombshell IG report on the DOJ, FBI Clinton email probe:
 
1. New texts between FBI lovers Strzok and Page were 'disappointing' and cast a shadow over the integrity of the entire Clinton email probe
 
2. Five unnamed FBI employees -- including one lawyer who later worked on the Mueller probe -- are under scrutiny for anti-Trump bias
 
3. President Obama was one of the 13 individuals with whom Hillary Clinton had direct contact using her clintonemail.com account.
 
4. Despite Clinton connections, former Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik and former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe didn't fully recuse themselves
 
5. 'Insubordinate' Ex-FBI Director James Comey repeatedly violated policy and inaccurately described the legal situation surrounding Clinton's emails
 
6. Former Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch made errors in judgment during the Clinton probe
 
7. FBI agents' actions surrounding the DOJ/FBI interview of Hillary Clinton were 'inappropriate' and created appearance of bias.
 
All are disastrous when it comes to the concept of an unbiased Bureau that the people believe in, but numbers 6 & 7 need to be fully investigated and acted on to restore the people's belief in the FBI..and specific policies and penalties be written down.

From the "have your pizza.. and streets, too" department - Dominos wants us to get our pizzas delivered intact and savory... so.. it is offering to repave the streets either you.. or its delivery personnel.. must travel ... to get it delivered home..maybe Council should just close the prison kitchens and court house snack bars and order Dominos everyday to we could get our streets up-to-snuff.. Just spent the weekend at some family property in Harris County, and it was sure relaxing to drive looking forward rather than down at the potholes I would have had to dodge driving in Muscogee County.

Went to "Denim and Diamonds" this weekend.. Charlie Daniels.. at age 81, is still incredible.. on the other hand, Marshall Tucker Band needed to retire years ago...

L-E headline: "22 wounded as gunfire erupts at NJ arts festival" -- Hmmm... I guess, in political speak, you could call this the beginning of a new art "movement"... "Splatter Art!"
