Happy Birthday, American Flag... Happy Birthday, President Trump!

From the "Blue Wave? More like the toilet bowl swirl" department - Online headline/story: "Mueller's approval rating among Democrats and independents on the decline * According to the Politico Morning Consult Poll, Mueller’s favorability among Democrats and independents has gone down over the past 11 months. * Even though 50 percent of Democrats still approve of his work, overall, 53 percent of the respondents had an unfavorable reaction to Mueller, which is a 26-point jump since these same polls started." -- "26-point jump"? Just mainscream media bias... A "jump" usually indicates higher.. this is a "plummet"..Blue Wave? More like the whirlpool as the toilet flushes.

From the "bias... what bias?" department - Online story: " Just over half of all Americans say they approve of how President Donald Trump has handled North Korea, but only a quarter think that his summit this week with Kim Jong Un will lead to the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Wednesday." -- Hmmm.. a poll taken within 24 hours of an event when most Americans have gotten the "scoop" from mainscream media and/or Robert De Niro is suspect, but it still shows most of America is proud of the work/efforts of President Trump has to be crushing to the DIMocrats' November aspect..

Oh! I keep hearing that the DIMocrats don't have a message to run on in this , or any , election..I disagree... The DIMocrats always run on a message hatred, deceit, delusion, and division.

L-E headline/story: "MCSD asks for $50,000 to plan $11 million sports complex that’s full of uncertainty * The Muscogee County School District’s proposed $11 million sports complex in south Columbus, which has been threatened to not come to fruition due to slower-than-expected sales tax collections, could take a step forward if the school board approves the administration’s request to spend $50,000 for preliminary planning." -- "has been threatened not to come to fruition"? -- I expect self-gratifying decisions to come from the MCSD, but the MCSB needs to be questioning even the THOUGHT of spending $50,000.00 MORE dollars on what could be wishful.. and wasteful.. spending. I also see that the MCSD has an option to build it within the existing revenue stream.. Simply scrap the $7.2 Million on revamping 2 baseball fields, and another $6+ Million earmarked for metal-on-slab utility buildings , and there's more than enough to build the South Columbus Sports site.
From the same L-E story above: "MCSD’s 2015 SPLOST collections through March 31 show revenue is $12.2 million less than the $102.5 million that was expected at that point. That’s a shortfall of 11.9 percent." -- $12.2 million SHORT... and in less than 3 years.. What this shows is that the SPLOST-2015 revenues will probably come in over $20 Million SHORT of "expectations"..
 
What it also shows is Mayor Tom-LYING-son's "budget" is super flawed.. She has the City LOST tax revenues coming in at $4 Million MORE than they are currently producing... looks like she is leaving Skip with one last fiasco..

Hmmm.. in 1773, the Citizens of Boston protested Britain's unfair taxes by throwing "tea" into the Boston Harbor... wonder if the Mayor is prepared for Columbus citizens to throw "Queen TT" into the Chattahoochee?

Online story: "Terry Miller and Andraya Yearwood dominated the competition at Connecticut’s girls track and field state championships earlier this week. Miller took 1st place in both the 100 and 200 meter dash, while Yearwood finished second in the 100. According to News 8 in Hartford, CT, both Miller and Yearwood are transgender which has some people saying that the pair had an unfair advantage." -- You know, "feelings"that a person can decide whatever gender they can be is "fair" will basically destroy what women have earned over the past 50 years.. It's no different than former Olympic Decathlon champion Bruce Jenner just wanting to be able to play from "the red tees" in golf..

HuffPOOPOO "headLIE": "If You Really Love LGBTQ People, You Just Can’t Keep Eating Chick-fil-A" -- You know.. Dan Cathey has the right to practice and speak out on and for his religious beliefs, but not once have you heard Dan Cathey say he didn't welcome LGBTQ people into the Chick-fil-A stores so they could enjoy the best fried chicken sandwiches in America.. In fact, Cathey would probably DIS-Enfranchise any store owner that didn't welcome all people in to their stores.
 
One thing that really gets me is that while mainscream media blasts people for "labeling", the outspoken "leadership" for homosexual rights LABELS all aspects as one bloc.. instead of looking at the rights of individuals as individual rights, all people they claim to represent are dumped into one group and will be "shunned" if they think or speak individually.

Haven't gotten a definitive answer about the extent of the new "distracted driving" law, but it may be that driving with only one hand on the steering wheel may get you a ticket..can't wait for a court challenge when an amputee veteran is stopped and ticketed.

Online headline/story: "California 'three states' plan OK'd for November ballot * An initiative to divide California into three states has received enough signatures to qualify it for the November ballot, the California secretary of state's office confirmed Tuesday. * The three-states campaign, dubbed “Cal-3,” submitted more than 600,000 signatures. * Tim Draper, a billionaire Silicon Valley venture capital investor, sponsored the ballot measure to divide America’s most populous state into three jurisdictions, the Mercury News of San Jose, Calif., reported. * “California government has rotted,” Draper told the Mercury News last month. “We need to empower our population to improve their government.” -- Hmmmm...I have say this will be interesting...of course it hasn't been decided whether the 49 states would recognized and approved of even 1 of the new states being accepted, much less all three of them, and which of the three would be responsible for the tremendous debt the present California is buried under.. Also.. this would be the hardest obstacle for the "3-Cal" states to overcome.. each would have to write a Constitution that doesn't conflict with the US Constitution in order to become a new state... fat chance...
 
I'm also curious is whether US citizenship of the 600,000 signers has been verified..
 
Hey.. I always like the symmetry of the 49-star US Flag better than the current 50, but let's make the 3-Cal committee to have to design a 52 state design that will be agreeable to the other 49 states.

After his shenanigans as governor, I was stunned that South Carolinians elected Mark Sanford but now South Carolina voters have corrected themselves. CONGRATS to Katie Arrington and...and the SC voters!

My in-laws are down-sizing. and my bride is helping them declutter .. going through a desk drawer, my bride found a miniature bark canoe souvenir of Canada with a mailing tag that assures it was made by "Canadian Indians"... Hmmm "Canadian Indians".. obviously Canada has not always been so liberal or politically correct as it "puts on" today..

From the "she who laughs last, lasts best" department - HuffPOOPOO headline/story"'Roseanne': Roseanne Barr 'considering giving up' profits from potential spinoff * Since ABC canceled the highly-rated sitcom in response to Barr's racist Twitter activity at the end of May, sources close to the broadcast network have indicated that it plans on producing a spinoff centered on Sara Gilbert's character, Darlene Conner, and her family. * The biggest "stumbling block," however, was thought to be Barr herself: Because she's considered the creator of the show and its titular character, she would have a financial stake in any spinoff, and continuing to stay in business with Barr is exactly what everyone involved is seeking to avoid. * -- Reminds me of Br'er Rabbit pleading with Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear NOT to throw him into "dat der brier patch". Roseanne KNOWS that a "Roseanne Show" without her will be dead in the water as far as viewers tuning in, and ABC (A Buncha Clowns?) will take a huge profit hit...

Oh.. I just realized something.. my paternal grandfather was born on Dec 16, 1883.. the 100th Anniversary of the Boston Tea Party...guess I come from real good genes..

From the "just because 'it didn't happen' doesn't mean 'it didn't happen'" department - Online headline/story: "Suspected Islamic extremist ricin attack plot foiled in Germany, prosecutors say * An Islamic terrorism plot to launch a deadly attack with the toxin ricin was reportedly thwarted in Germany, prosecutors revealed Thursday. * Authorities said a 29-year-old Tunisian, identified only as Sief Allah H., was taken into custody Wednesday after an investigation uncovered he had procured the materials needed to create ricin in mid-May and even succeeded in creating the toxin earlier this month." -- Once again.. Trump's decisions... and promises to keep us safe... are demonstrated successfully.. America cannot afford for the DIMocrats to get back involved in the future of America if we want our children and grandchildren to live freely.

From the "heaven help us.. liberalism will be the death of a safe society" department - Online headline/story: "Parole board to hear former juror's death sentence regrets * COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - The Ohio Parole Board on Thursday planned to hear from a juror who recommended that a convicted killer be sentenced to death, but now believes he should be spared. * At issue is the case of death row inmate Raymond Tibbetts, who is set to die in October for killing Fred Hicks at Hicks' Cincinnati home in 1997. * After the parole board voted 11-1 last year against mercy for Tibbetts, ex-juror Ross Geiger came forward and said jurors were not given enough information about Tibbetts' tough childhood." -- Good grief.. 20 years later, one (_@_) is concerned about the home life of another (_@_)... and a government agency is going to listen to them! The only thing to consider.. IMHO... is what the guilty (_@_) deprived the victim and his family of... life.. maybe the (_@_) juror should be given the chance to swap places with the (_@_) felon in the death chamber...

L-E story: "A group backed by Democratic former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder wants one new majority-black congressional district in Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana in time for the 2020 general elections, according to new federal lawsuits filed Wednesday in each state." -- "wants one NEW majority-black congressional district in Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana"? Good grief... sounds like Pric Holder wants to create gerrymandered ethnic reservations... and against all the US Supreme Court decisions that have helped stop gerrymandering! Hey, Holder.. why not ask for all blacks be put in one district in each state... you'll get a guaranteed black DIMocrat representative in each state... on one hand, blacks would gain 5 representatives...but.. combined black representation in GA, AL, and LA would be reduced from 6 to 3.. maybe somebody should explain to Holder how segregation is more destructive than assimilation.

L-E headline: "Late CSU worker remembered as Santa, Candy Man" -- James "Sonny" Fitzpatrick .... What a really nice guy... my bride and I got to know him when we had "My Party Place" on Broadway, and Sonny was the man who took care of ant=y maintenance problems CSU had to address..

L-E headline: "Sports betting unlikely anytime soon in Georgia" -- Hmmm.. guess politicians know that if Georgians could easily place bets online, the lottery revenues would drop to next to nothing..
