From the "ain't it the truth" department - It's been 'suggested' that Trump will have an easier confrontation with Putin than he will with members of NATO. Hmmm Trump 2.. the World 0.. Trump 2020

From the "Trump nails it again... and with a sledgehammer" department - Online headline/story: "Trump blasts allies, says Germany is 'a captive of Russia' in testy start to NATO summit * Trump said it is not fair to American taxpayers that Germany buys oil and gas from Russia while enjoying the umbrella of defense provided by U.S. dollars. "Germany is a captive of Russia," he said, pointing out that the country pays "billions and billions of dollars" to a Russia for energy. Trump said he believed that was "inappropriate", adding: "Germany is a rich country." -- And as usual.. Trump's right... Germany's oil dependency alone makes Germany a puppet to Putin's whims... Trump IS the proverbial "ELEPHANT in the room".

From the "21st Century Boston Tea Party" department - Online headline: "NFLPA officially files a grievance over league's new national anthem policy" -- Hmmm...guess the players feel they are getting TAX REDUCTIONS without White House representation.... a good name for this would be "The NFL 'PEE PARTY'....pissing into the faces of the PATRIOT veterans who protected their rights to make absurd amounts of money.

From the "trial by media" department - Online headline: "Broadway 'Chicago' director, musical director accused of 'bullying' cast member who then died by suicide" -- You know.. without even studying the "facts", I'd be willing to wager that the suicide victim's erratic actions leading up to the end of his life were affecting his work, and were why the director was on his case.

Irony ..or just total disrespect for the value of women... Have you noticed than mainscream media is more concerned with what Melania Trump wears than her message she speaks? It really reflects the lack of value mainscream media has for women's worth.

From the "not only does it PRINT "fake news", it believes other people's "fake news" department - Online headline/story: "Red faces at Washington Post after citing satirical article claiming 'American Idiot' is about George W. Bush * The Washington Post is under fire on Tuesday for an embarrassing correction it was forced to issue after mistakenly citing a satirical website that claimed the Green Day song “American Idiot” was about President George W. Bush. * The Post cited a Clickhole.com article in which Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong declared the song was about the 43rd president. Clickhole bills itself as “the latest and greatest online social experience filled with the most clickable, irresistibly shareable content anywhere on the internet,” where staffers aim to mislead readers “just enough to make it go viral.” " -- Hmmm.. the Post didn't get "clickholed" it got cornholed... and they liked it!

Soapbox Moment: Mainscream media has duped itself. Mainscream media is so intent getting a Socialist majority on the Supreme Court, mainscream media has lost perspective that a liberal majority that could overrule the Constitution's clear message about the importance of 2nd Amendment Rights, would also have no "second" thoughts about quieting mainscream media criticism of other decisions by overruling the 1st Amendment as well...and without private citizen's having the right to bear arms, mainscream media would not be able to challenge the Supreme Court's decision to overrule the 1st.

With Starbucks announcing it would phase out plastic straws in 2020, I imagine Trump will use that as a campaign promotion.. Handing out "Last Straws" to voters tired of Starbucks overpriced opinion and fare.

Online headline: "TO HIS FACE * Fox News’ Juan Williams Calls Out Sean Hannity: ‘You’re Running This Presidency!’ " -- Good grief.. is this a perfect setup for a classic Pee WEE Herman line or what?.. "I know you are, but what am I?" Hannity is just supporting and reporting Trump's goal to "Make America Great Again" versus Williams having a 'pity party' because libs are now irrelevant.

M/C L-E headline: "Carmike building houses court staff flooded out of Government Center" -- You know.. I do remember this being suggested when the building became available.. that the courts be moved there.. now we're paying RENT for what could have been purchased for chicken feed...

M/C headline: "Trade paper ranks Synovus among nation’s most reputable banks" -- Hmmm... think about how much more of a feather in our cap if the headline read, "Columbus (GA) Bank and Trust" among nation's most reputable banks." Now, what was "the Bank of Here" is the Bank of Where?"

M/C L-E headline: "Senate Dems launch attack on Supreme Court pick" -- Hmm.. well one thing you can say is that DIMocrats are consistent... they want to cherry-pick the Constitution to suit themselves and cherry-pick judges that agree with them.

M/C L-E guest commentary headline/content: "House’s food stamp bill doesn’t allow for second chances * BY DESMOND MEADE * Miami Herald * There are already restrictions in place to make sure that SNAP benefits don’t go to those who have violated parole or the terms of their release. But denying assistance to everyone who has been found guilty of a single violent crime, including those who have served their sentences and are working hard at healing themselves and their communities, goes too far and would leave many with nowhere to turn to put food on their tables." -- the key is "assistance to everyone who has been found guilty of a single violent crime"...this is a very good deterrent to keep that "first violent crime" from happening...
