Epic... a simple yet powerful word.. describes the meeting of President Trump with Kim Jong Oooops.. Remember when Obama went on his "Apology Tour"... and bowed down to other despots? Well, sorry Chris Rock, this is the best "No Apologies Tour" of 2018.

Hey...all you folks who live on 54th Street here in Columbus, GA between Veterans Pkwy and River Rd...order a Dominos pizza for delivery then call Dominos about how the road condition shook up your pizza, and Dominos may come out and fix the road... hey, what have you got to lose.. there's an equal... or better... chance with Dominos coming sooner than Council will send help.

I like baseball, but....but baseball needs to make some changes to speed it up..Let's start with the pitchers ...pitchers control game t I'm me too much..especially with runners on base. How about limiting pitchers to 7 throws per batter...and I'm talking a total of 7..including pick-off throws. Keep the same balls/strikes, but if pitcher uses 7 throws and the batter hasn't struck out, got a hit or made an out, then send him to first base as a "walk".

Anybody heard ( or if on Council or running for a seat....know) what's going on about wasting more money on Golden Park for softball?

"Ihob"? You know, my bride and I enjoy periodic evening breakfast meals, and I can say unequivocally that even though burgers have always been on the menu, none pictured have ever enticed me to order one.
 
---
Ihop could have saved itself of a lot of costs just changing out signs and letterheads.. and still brought notice to "Burgers".. I H O P .. "It's Burgers Or Pancakes"

Yesterday marked 3 weeks since Zeph Baker promised he would post his Campaign Disclosures that were already delinquent. Hey Zeph...now "IT'S TIME!"... in fact.. WAY PAST time...
 
While this is not a rhetorical question, I do know the answer... but.. why hasn't.. why doesn't the Board of Elections enforce the rules of Campaign Disclosures? First step would be to put "teeth" into the penalty fines, but there comes a point that failure to comply must have physical penalties as well as fiscal ones.

Something needs to be done to restore tradition in college sports...Was watching my Mississippi State Bulldogs defeat Vanderbilt for a trip to Omaha, NE for the 2018 College World Series...but something was just not right..State...traditionally in Maroon and White/Gray, was wearing uniforms of black and white...and Vandy..which has Black & Gold listed as its school colors wore uniforms of navy, red, and white. When I first turned on the game, I was wrongly pulling against State defensively because they were wearing black uniforms and I mistook them for Vandy.

---
The College World Series teams meeting in Omaha include 3 SEC teams.. Joining Mississippi State (Hail STATE!) are Arkansas and Nationally number 1 ranked Florida.

FOX News has announced a new News Panel called the "A Team" .. with Juan Williams among them... looks like an "A Team" consisting of 3 Anchors and an (_@_).

Looks like we're in for rain for the next 8 days. Go ahead and replace that broken umbrella.

Soapbox Moment: Let's make the GA Legislators rue the new Cellphone law they inflicted on us...and make the impetus to change be something the Law Enforcement Officers demand..When you get in your car, initiate the blue tooth connection, then put your phone into the glove box and lock it. Then every time you see a police car put your right hand over your ear and "scratch an itch"..if the police put on their "lights", keep your hand over your ear until the officer comes to your door..then show him/her you have nothing in your hand. Enough "bad arrests" will get the bill moderated to fairness... and practicality.

From the "McClatchy just confirmed our suspicions" department - L-E headline: "McClatchy names South Region editor, to be based in Macon" * Macon resident Tim Regan-Porter has been named editor for McClatchy’s South Region, which includes newsrooms in Macon, Columbus and Biloxi, Miss." -- As tough as it was to get the Columbus L-E actually involved in the growth of the community, eliminating another Executive job here and putting us under a Macon entity is just the "shooting gun" that the Columbus "jury" needs to put the Columbus L-E out-of-its-misery. I do have two questions to ask.. Isn't Columbus' location better set to serve divisions in Mississippi and Macon, than Macon is? And, is this another reason the Chamber of Commerce is holding it's June "After Hours" at Strifler-Hamby at Parkhill Cemetery?
 
Oh, Mayor Tom-LYING-son.. be sure and add this to your "Legacy" on your political resume`...
 
It was bad enough that our mail.. even local-to-local address mail goes to Macon to get postmarked, but now local news will need Macon approval to get published.

From the "there is a clear answer right in front of us" department - Online headline/story: 'DOJ excoriates University of Michigan's 'bias response team,' says free speech is 'under attack' * The University of Michigan's sweeping "bias response policy" violates the First Amendment by punishing students for offenses as minor as hurting their classmates' "feelings," the Justice Department said Monday in a statement of interest filed in federal court." -- Good grief! Wasn't the original purpose of a higher education to expose... enlighten.. students to new ideas and thoughts.. well, universities under liberalism/Socialism are little more than "candle snuffers" any more. IDEA!. Maybe Trump should think about stepping down after this term.. the economy and America's Greatness have returned so he could hand the controls off to Mike Pence, then... then Pence could name Trump the Education GURU, and put him in charge of remaking university policies, and curriculum.

From the "another celebrity needs to be put on 24/7 watch" department - Online headline: "Ireland Baldwin says she's suffered from suicidal thoughts: 'I have been at the lowest low in my life'" -- "lowest low in my life"? Wow.. I'd have thought having Alec Baldwin, her "Father", tell her, ""You are a rude, thoughtless little pig. You don't have the brains or the decency as a human being. "I don't give a damn that you're 12 years old, or 11 years old, or that you're a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn't care about what you do as far as I'm concerned." -- Having my dad say something like this would have been the absolute lowest moment in any my life. Maybe Ireland Baldwin has a "#MeToo" moment coming out soon.
 
With this in mind, how does NBC justify allowing Alec Baldwin appear on SNL?

From the land of "big TWITS" department - Online headline: "Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey forced to apologize for eating Chick-fil-A during Pride Month" -- You know, if the LGBTQ...WYZ community cannot get past Chick-fil-A's owner being a Christian, then there really isn't anything they need to be PRIDEFUL about.. How can one group deny another groups freedom of speech and still demand it for themselves.. Hey... the street is a two-way street.

L-E headline: "Columbus man faces armed robbery charges after stealing Nikes at gunpoint, police say * BY CHUCK WILLIAMS" -- Hey, UpChuck.. what
s the difference between these Nikes and the "sneakers" you headlined in another story recently.. they were Nikes as well, and a gun was used in both cases..
 
---
From the "one of the saddest and bravest acts a father has done" department - L-E headline/story: "Chief assistant district attorney held at gunpoint by his son, Columbus police say * A family dispute turned violent Saturday night when one of Muscogee County’s top law enforcement officials was kidnapped and held at gunpoint, according to Columbus police." -- All other thoughts aside.. let's pray for the entire Whitaker family.. Raise them up in this time of need...

From the "maybe he should have parked his ego back at home" department - Online headline/story: "Atlanta Braves pitcher Anibal Sanchez reportedly burglarized during start, $100G in jewelry stolen * Atlanta Braves pitcher Anibal Sanchez's Los Angeles hotel room was burglarized Saturday night while he was on the mound against the Dodgers, TMZ reported Sunday. * The website, citing law enforcement sources, reported that more than $100,000 in jewelry was taken from Sanchez's suite near downtown Los Angeles, including four watches. Investigators told TMZ there doesn't appear to have been forced entry to the room." -- "doesn't appear to have been forced entry to the room"? Good grief.. how many "master keys" does the hotel staff have? Question 1 of two: "Why would anyone playing baseball carry more jewelry than he could wear at one time? Question two, why didn't he place them in either the room or Front Desk safe?

Online headline/story: "Supreme Court gives green light to Ohio's voting roll purge * The Supreme Court ruled Monday that Ohio is allowed to purge eligible voters from the state’s registration records if they have not cast ballots in a while. * In a 5-4 ruling issued by Justice Samuel Alito, the high court ruled that Ohio’s law to trigger the removal of inactive voters from the state’s registry can be enforced. * We have no authority to second-guess Congress or to decide whether Ohio’s Supplemental Process is the ideal method for keeping its voting rolls up to date. The only question before us is whether it violates federal law. It does not. * We have no authority to second-guess Congress or to decide whether Ohio’s Supplemental Process is the ideal method for keeping its voting rolls up to date. * State officials argued that the process used by Ohio for more than 20 years is constitutional and legal, and meant to ensure election security. * The only question before us is whether it violates federal law. It does not."" -- Allows? It should be mandatory...in fact, before any other district or state...precinct even...accepts a transfer from another district, state or precinct, the new registration should be temporary based on getting confirmation from the previous registration office that the old form has been purged.

From the "no wonder teenagers are confused" department - L-E headline/story: "Parkland students excited to see Fey * Tina Fey was the star the drama students from Marjory Stone-man Douglas High School were most excited to see at the Tonys on Sunday, they told NBC’s Today show hosts Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie on Monday morning, just hours after bringing down the house with their rendition of “Seasons of Love” from Rent. * Fey’s “Mean Girls,” nominated for a dozen Tonys, including best book of a musical, ended the night by taking home exactly none, but her presence, at least, meant something to the students from Parkland, Fla., whose school was the site of the Feb. 14 school shooting that claimed 17 lives." -- Good grief.. with "role models" like Tina Fey, no wonder kids get bullied at school, and turn violent when there's no relief available.
 
---
From the "bias, what bias?" department - L-E headline: "Singapore summit: Excitement high, expectations lower" -- "expectations lower"? Mainscream media just will not look at itself in a mirror.. Hey, Mainscream Media, what could be lower than Obama bowing to despots, but not even talking with Kim Jong Oooops?
 
---
L-E headline: "Judge quizzes lawyers on Trump business with foreign nations" -- Good grief.. before he won the presidency, Trump WAS AN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESSMAN! It's what prepared him better than any president since Eisenhower.
 
---
Online headline: "DNC votes to require Dem 2020 primary candidates be registered party members" -- Hmm.. then Congress should set guidelines about Bernie and Lieberman meeting with and supporting the DIMocrats in lockstep. Oh, and while the DIMs are at how about requiring primary candidates to show proof of American citizenship certification.. let's avoid a repeat of 2008. And also while they're at it, how about requiring the DIMocrat voter base and new voter registrants do the same.
 
---
From the "Message must have already been delivered" department - Online headline: "Bernie Sanders: Starbucks CEO 'dead wrong' on government-run health care" -- Hmmm.. and didn't Bernie vote against eliminating OObamaCRAP?

Online headline: "Robert De Niro says Trump not welcome at Nobu restaurants: 'I'd walk out'" -- You know, even though we haven't met, I consider President Trump a good friend...of me, my country, and our future..If someone disses my friend, he disses me as well.. Guess Deniro might want to change the name of his restaurants from "Nobu" to "No BUY", because me and my friends won't be dining there either.
