As bad as antifa is about denying others the right of free speech, MSM-13 is even worse. The Founding Fathers knew that freedom of the press to speak up/out freely of government oppression was even more important that the right to bear arms so the Founding Fathers covered this in the 1st Amendment, yet MSM-13 has basically denied the rights of conservative citizens/citizen groups to exercise their rights with biased and imbalanced reporting.

From the "the hell of a scorned woman" department - Online headline/story: "Report: Mothers of both Zach and Courtney Smith claim ex-OSU assistant is victim of retaliatory plot by ex-wife * quotes from Lynn Bruce, Smith’s mother and the daughter of former Ohio State coach Earle Bruce, and Tina Carano, the mother of Smith’s ex-wife Courtney. Both mothers claimed Courtney told them of a vindictive revenge plot against Smith and Meyer that she has been apparently planning since 2013. * Bruce claimed Courtney Smith told her of the plan multiple times since 2013, when Courtney reportedly learned of her ex-husband’s infidelity. * Carano, who Snook said has become estranged from her daughter over the issue, apparently only texted with the reporter, but reportedly said that she does not believe Smith’s alleged domestic abuse was intentional. She also confirmed she heard her daughter say she would “take Zach down.”" -- Let's pray... pray that the truth will set the record straight, and pray that women truly wronged won't suffer from public doubt of their plight, and pray the lawyers behind her charges will get disbarred for not completely verifying the charges he made on her behalf.

You know.. about "Felon Voting Rights Return".. this is an issue on the Florida ballot in November..giving a blanket return of voting rights for convicted felons should not happen.. I recently posted some facts about 67 arrested felons who's mug shots and arrests were posted on the online version of the Columbus, GA Ledger-Enquirer. Of the 67, 41 not only had felony arrests for crimes, they also were charged with either violating their current parole and/or probation conditions.. that's right, 41 victims would..could.. have been spared suffering from a crime against them if they criminals had served out their sentences. No, getting voting rights returned should be an earned right determined by the individuals proper return to a civil society.

From the "I guess ABC got Slick Willie Clinton to define what 'conservative' is" department: Online headline/story: "'Fox & Friends' co-host Abby Huntsman reportedly leaving to join 'The View' * Huntsman's addition to "The View" would make her the show's second conservative voice on the current lineup, joining fellow former Fox News contributor, Meghan McCain. In addition to Huntsman and McCain, "The View" would be co-hosted by Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin." -- If I had to list 5 adjectives to describe Huntsman and/or McCain, "conservative" would not be one of them, and even if you merged Huntsman and McCain into "one force", the combined unit would not offset the angst/misinformation spewed by either Goldberg or Behar.

From the "you gotta be kidding" department - Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama back-up QB last year is the 11th ranked player to win the Heisman this year.. and Jalen Hurts isn't even considered.. Good grief.. Does ESPN even look at last years stats? Alabama Coach
Saban didn't even use Tagovailoa in the 6 pre-National Championship games that weren't decided by half-time, and Tagovailoa's performance in the second half of the Championship was successful mainly because of the UGA Coaching staff being caught off guard defensively.

I am going to protest an event scheduled at the Mildred Terry Library Saturday week (Aug 18th) here in Columbus.. as you know, our libraries are under the umbrella of the MCSD, and are promoting a "Drag Queen Story Hour Event". This is not about acceptance of life style alternatives, this is about promoting deception to children.. little or no different from offering free candy if a child will get into a van with a stranger. I'd have no issue with a gay or lesbian presenting themselves in everyday attire sincerely participating in a story hour, but the emphasis on this event is "DRAG QUEEN".. and every member of the MCSB should sound off on stopping such.

Furthermore.. how is this any different that letting cigarette companies use cartoon characters such as "Joe Camel" or Fred Flintstone to make smoking attractive to children?
I also sent the above comment to the MCSB members, and one was smart enough to respond.. The member said that the library did not submit the event for information nor approval., and that it would be further looked into.

Wow! So after the past 7.5+ years our mayor now feels Columbus should stop going around in roundabout circles and get business back on a straight course to jump-start our economy. Well, what's Mayor Tom-LYING-son feel she can accomplish in less than 5 months to undo what she did in the first 7.5+ years.. Heck.. she promised that the now $4.5 MILLION dollar River Road was going to start being built in July following her 2014 re-election..

What does the phrase "with the conditions that it be perpetually used for school purposes" mean to you..I seems rather definitive to me.. Well, it's the condition that the Claflin School was deeded over to the Trustees of the the Public Schools of Columbus by R.L. Mott and the Trustees of Claflin School in 1880. Now, how can that be manipulated to result in a sale for the property be used as a housing facility?

A reliable source has told me that the Spencer High project came in under it's projected $56 Million dollar estimate. I said that I had not heard that even though I am on the 2015 SPLOST Citizens Review Committee.. Of course, looking at so many projects that appear to be out-of-line project-estimate-wise, it's not so much a surprise, but what I want to know is why can the MCSD keep the extra unused funds and spend them on other projects? Shouldn't the MCSD be fair to the taxpayers when it can save on spending?

With his recognition, don't you imagine there will be parents that will encourage their children to become "at risk" students so they can get selected to attend?

With a DIMocrat running our state, what's to stop any.. every .. country from shipping their children to America for free education, pre-K thru college, and save on the expenses each country would have spent on its education system..

On another note, maybe it's time that all lottery ticket purchasers provide proof of US citizenship in order to purchase any lottery ticket.. if the argument for illegal aliens is "opportunity" , then spending any money on lottery tickets takes away from their ability to survive and thrive.

Through last Thursday *, it looks like there are 24 homicides thus far marked as such by the coroner.. I have 3 others that should be considered/reconsidered.. one - the dad that ran over his toddler son in the driveway has been charged with "vehicular homicide" as it's been determined he was driving & texting at the time, two - the guy determined he killed himself (suicide) using a revolver loaded with a .410 gauge shotgun shell...just doesn't sound right or plausible, and 3 - the guy pulled out of the Chattahoochee near the RiverWalk with the back of his head bashed in.. a preliminary autopsy should have already have been made to determine if it was before or after the body was in the water.. to me, not disclosing in a timely manner means there is a lot of doubt about it happening in the water.

The PGA has got to step up its game on its website...the leaderboard was two or more holes behind most of the day. The reports were exciting about what what was going on that I regressed on my boycott of CBS (Moonves scandal) and tuned in to TV coverage. It was great (and a long time coming) seeing Tiger Woods playing his A-game combined with the recovery skills of Phil Mickelson, and it great to see him contending again, but the trophy went to Bruce Koepka, and deservedly so. This was his second major of 2018, and had his putting been as sharp as his tee-to-green skills, he would have won by 5 or 6 strokes. Now, after watching the CBS crew swoon and fawn over Tiger as he came up short, I won't be surprised if the MSM-13 goes on a Trump-type campaign to have Koepka disqualified or impeached/discredited so Tiger can be awarded the title.

Among the worse practices is using state/federal registration laws in university and college towns to register out-of-state students based on the 30 day requirement for residency. How can be legal for a state to recognize an out-of-state student as an in-state resident yet still charge out-of-state tuition?

Oh, and if de Bl@sio didn't show his @ enough in the above comments, this is the clincher - Online headline: "De Blasio lets security haul away Post reporter for asking question" -- Conversely, de Bl@sio had just said.. on a Sunday TV show, "“I believe in a free, strong media with diverse views — I’ll defend it with all I’ve got.” Yeah, right...

From the "well, which is it " department HuffPOOPOO headline/story: "Omarosa says Trump is 'truly a racist,' concedes complicity in White House deceit * the former White House aide and onetime cast member on NBC’s “The Apprentice” program, continued to claim on Sunday that she had heard President Donald Trump use the N-word. * She also said Trump “truly is a racist.” * Appearing on NBC’s “Meet The Press,” Manigault Newman repeated that she had heard of the existence of a tape from Trump’s days as the star of “The Apprentice” on which Trump uses the racial slur. In her new book, Unhinged: An Insiders Account of the Trump White House, Manigault Newman describes searching for the tape; on Sunday, she said she had actually heard it after she finished writing the book. * “Once I heard it for myself, it has confirmed what I feared the most, that Donald Trump is a con and has been masquerading as someone who is actually open to engaging with diverse communities,” she said. “But when he talks that way, the way he did on this tape, it confirmed that he is truly a racist." -- Let's see, .. she heard there was a tape, then she heard the, then she didn't hear about the tape until after she wrote the book, but she mentions it in her book.. You know.. what we have here is a poor, selfish attempt at boosting the sales of a book that has no merit.. And as I see it, "The Apprentice" was produced by NBC, and if NBC had taped conversations of Trump even inferring a racial slur, it would have been re-broadcast hourly the month before the election.

From the "This is what's wrong with MSM-13" department - HuffPOOPOO headline: "Kellyanne Conway has trouble naming a top black White House aide" -- You know, the MSM-13/DIMocrat coalition just revealed its own racist attitude...they feel that a person's color is the most important aspect. What's overlooked in Kelly Conway's oblivious-to-color response.. equal minded people.. like Conway (versus) MSM-13 reporters) not being prepared with a list of employee names by ethnicity.

From the "truth sets you free" department - Online headline/story: "Kanye West hits back over Trump question response: ‘I wasn’t stumped’ * “On Jimmy Kimmel we had a great time having a dialogue. I’m reading that I was stumped by a question. Let me clarify the click bait. I wasn’t stumped. I wasn’t given a chance to answer the question,” West tweeted Saturday. * He added: “The question was so important I took time to think. And then I was hit with the let’s go to commercial break." -- Now, setting up the above situation:

"(West) appeared on Kimmel’s show Thursday, and the pair’s conversation covered a wide range of issues including West’s support of Trump until the host (Kimmel) said, “I mean, you’ve so famously and so powerfully said George (W.) Bush doesn’t care about black people. It makes me wonder, what makes you think that Donald Trump does … or any people at all?” * West remained silent, with his eyes looking into the distance when Kimmel called for a commercial break. " Once again.. the MSM-13/DIMocrat coalition puts a person's color over every other aspect of his/her life. On the other hand, Kanye West just established his importance in American history.. judging Trump by Dr Martin Luther King's "dream".

Online headline: "White nationalists dwarfed by crowds of counterprotesters in Washington" -- How can a group campaign for rights for illegal aliens yet deny American citizens their Constitutional rights.. I don't condone the agenda nor message of either group.. but no group has to right to deny the other groups guaranteed rights.

Let's see what's on the Council Agenda this week:
Let's see what's on the Council Agenda this week:
"Second reading - An ordinance rezoning 6801 Flat Rock Road. The current zoning is LMI (Light Manufacturing / Industrial) & SFR1 (Single Family Residential 1) zoning district. The proposed zoning is PMUD (Planned Mixed Use Development) zoning district. The proposed use is mixed use (lodging, residential, assisted living & retail). The Planning Advisory Commission and the Planning Department recommend approval. Applicant: JMC Flatrock Partners, LLC. (Councilor Gary Allen)" -- Hmmm.. oh yes... this is the big money project of Tom-LYING-son supporters who are using the T.A.D. funding the Mayor campaigned on that was for redeveloping declining low-income neighborhoods.. looks like this is an aberration... at best.
Purchases: 7 Ford F150 Trucks... 7 all total... from a Statewide Contract from a dealer in Morrow, GA.. You know, we have dealers here in Columbus .. not only a Ford one, but Chevy and Dodge. as well. How can Columbus benefit from sending over $195,000.00 out of town?
"REPAIR SERVICES FOR A CAT DFK2 BULL DOZER - It is requested that council approve payment for repair services from Yancey Brothers (Fortson), in the amount of $16,015.82, for a CAT D4K2 Bull Dozer, Vehicle. In June 2018 the engine on the equipment went out. The unit was inspected and it was determined that a new engine was needed. This specialized equipment is used on both the Pine-grove Landfill and at Granite Bluff. The bull dozer was purchased in October 2013, at a cost of $106,900." -- Excuse me but a $16,000 replacement engine on a piece of equipment that is only 5 tears old and cost only $107K ti begin with sounds like the Caterpillar Company should be dosing out some "goodwill" funding to bolster its reputation as a quality company.. either that, of some folks at the Landfills should be canned for not keeping the engine properly.
