From the "guess where he's located" department - HuffPOOPOO headline/story: "Judge orders Trump administration to reunite families separated at the border * The Trump administration has 30 days to reunite migrant families split up by immigration authorities, a federal judge ruled Tuesday, in a rebuke that blocked the administration from continuing the widely reviled practice. * For children younger than five years old, the government has only 14 days to put them back into the care of their parents. * Under the terms of the injunction, the Justice Department may still prosecute parents on immigration charges when they arrive in the U.S. with their children. But the children may only remain separated for the brief time that their parents appear before a federal judge to face those charges and serve the sentences, which typically run for only a few days. The government may not continue to send the children to shelters hundreds of miles away from their parents. " -- Good grief.. All of a sudden, after 15 years under Bush, Obama, and now Trump. a judge another judge speaks up? Only this time, he's basically put families in cells together if there is compliance.. What we need is for Trump's Attorney General to shop for a judge that will order Congress to "immediately fund and Build the WALL".

Macon/Columbus (a.k.a. M/C) L-E headline/story: "Popular all-you-can-eat buffet temporarily shuts down after fire * A grill left burning at Golden Corral ignited a fire early Saturday in the kitchen and temporarily shut down the popular buffet restaurant at 1505 Manchester Expressway, officials said. * A note at the entrance of the restaurant said the eatery would be closed for 10 days. It is expected to reopen by July 1 , according to a note to customers on the door." -- Hmmm .. today's Wednesday and a Saturday fire is now just getting reported as news? Guess since Dusty Nix "retired", there's only Chuck Williams left who supports all the all-you-can-eat buffets in town, and Golden Corral was his Tuesday destination.

Online headline/story: "Chicago bar bans MAGA hats in effort to 'keep it classy' * Notably, MAGA hats aren’t the only dress-code violation listed. The bar has also placed a prohibition on gang-related face tattoos. " -- Hmmm.. MAGA hats, no.. non-gang-related face tattoos, yes.. Sounds like a real classy joint... NOT.. I wonder if the owner might make an exception for Kanye West wearing a MAGA hat?

Online story: "A New Supervolcano is Brewing Under These New England States
A new study from Rutgers University has found the beginnings of a volcano growing underneath New England. " -- Hmmm.. under Bernie's and Pocahontas' realms.. guess we will hear them campaigning that they will give their voters "free heat" in the future.

You know, when American soldiers go out to protect "the American way of life", they have incentives that the rest of the world idolizes.. now, what incentive do North Korean soldiers have to defend the way of life they have under Kim Jong Oooops?

Looks like Trump backed candidates had a good Tuesday. The same cannot be said for current DIMocrats... in New York, a Bernie-backed 28 year old unseated 10 year veteran DIMocrat Joseph Crowley who "was" the fourth ranked DIMocrat in the House. Also, Ben Jealous.. another "Bernie" beat out the DIMocrat backed candidate..
 
---
Looks like a lot of DIMocrat Congressional candidates will be distancing themselves from Nancy Pelosi...don't believe them...whether it's Pelosi or a replacement, no DIMocrat Congressperson is going to vote any way but the party leadership agenda.

You know, in the act of easing confusion between State and Federal representatives, maybe we should refer to the Capitol Chamber for Representatives as "The Big House".. well, it does seem to be "home" for a lot of criminality.

So much for the 2015 MCSD SPLOST Oversight Committee being able to keep wasteful spending down..it's been since February 4th since any meetings have been held.

Remember my comment yesterday about Mayor Tom-LYING-son sending her hubby, Gofer, to bring back an award from a Phenix City event...well, as I thought more about it, I wondered why she didn't send our Mayor Pro Tem there to represent Columbus. Something is just not kosher about what went on. Council should demand an explanation.

You know what bothers me about the Supreme Court decision on Trump's Executive Order Travel Ban...that 4 of the judges voted their politics and not their understanding of our Constitution.

We need to discuss the Congressional Black Caucus:
 
Did you know that in 2006, while running for Congress in a Tennessee district which is 60% black, white candidate Steve Cohen pledged to apply for membership in order to represent his constituents. However, after his election, his application was refused.[ Although the bylaws of the caucus do not make race a prerequisite for membership, former and current members of the caucus agreed that the group should remain "exclusively black". In response to the decision, Rep. Cohen referred to his campaign promise as "a social faux pas" because "It's their caucus and they do things their way. You don't force your way in. You need to be invited." -- By it's it's own admission, the CBC is in violation of everyone's civil rights as defined by the Constitution the members swear to uphold.
 
Technically, all members who abide by the focus of the CBC should be impeached since they are not representing all the constituents/voters in their districts..
 
In Georgia, we have 4 black representatives elected to represent all of GA yet they belong to the CBC.. Bishop in D-@, Johnson in D-4, Lewis in D-5, and Scott in D-13. Demographics of those 4 GA districts show that:
 
D2 - 52% black
D4 - 59% black
D5 - 58% black
D13 - 60% black
 
Basically, each Congressional District has about 750,000 people.. so in these 4 GA districts of an overall number of 3 million Georgians, about 1,710,000 are black, and 1,290,000 are not black.. Tis hardly "fair", much less Constitutional, that 1,290,000 Georgians are represented by 4 men who have vowed not to represent them equally as the other 1,710,000 citizens of those districts. The US Supreme Court should break this group up.

Seriously, why is America.. particularly conservatives and President Trump, the scapegoat for the world for trying to keep control of illegal entries into our country? Why aren't mainscream media journalists pointing out the true blame for this mess.. the other countries leaders who are sending it citizens packing.

Wow... Ross Perot is still alive, and celebrating his 88th b'day today..You know.. for a successful businessman, his only legacy will be that he was responsible for Hellary Clinton getting a foothold in America's history...and in a way, the ruination of Monica Lewinsky..

M/C L-E story: "The suspect in Jermaine Williams’ June 18 homicide in the Columbus Historic District had to go drop his 4-year-old daughter off before he could go back and shoot Williams, a detective testified Tuesday." -- You know.. there is no doubt that this has to be considered a 1st Degree Murder because the killer decided to take his daughter away from the action before shooting his victim... but who knows if the DA/ADA can get a jury to even find the killer guilty of any degree or murder or manslaughter.

M/C L-E headline/story: "High court rejects law on abortion information * Anti-abortion centers that help pregnant women likely do not have to give those women information about low-cost access to abortions, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 Tuesday." -- First, why does mainscream media only refer to pregnancy/adoption centers as "anti-abortion centers" simply because they are providing a right-to-life service for babies and their women who have them? Secondly, these centers are a business.. and what businesses are held in contempt for not referring their customers/clients to other businesses?

What is it with "PRIDE" parades? Parades should be for bringing an event into public in a joyful, positive, informative way, not to see how many arrests and police involvements can be created.. After 49 years, you'd think Shicago could handle a parade in second-nature way.
