Did you know there was a "Newseum"? I didn't until Saturday, but I imagine it is very interesting.. I also imagine that the most valuable object on display is the last copy of the New york Times that actually limited itself to "All the news that's fit to print".

From the "why is Mueller still investigating Trump" department - Online headline/story: "FBI releases documents showing payments to Trump dossier author Steele * The FBI has released 71 pages of what it describes as correspondence between the bureau and Christopher Steele, the former British spy who authored a dossier alleging collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia. * The FBI has released 71 pages of what it describes as correspondence between the bureau and Christopher Steele, the former British spy who authored a dossier alleging collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia. * As first reported by the Washington Post, the FBI reached a deal in October 2016 to pay Steele to continue the research that had led to what became known as the Trump dossier, an indication of how seriously the bureau was taking the allegations, " --"an indication of how seriously the bureau was taking the allegations"? Good grief.. The only indication here is CONFIRMATION that the FBI/DOJ under Obama was desperately trying to undermine the Trump campaign up until a week before the election in an attempt to get a victory for Hellary so all this scandal would disappear.

From the "there are going to be more boycotts in the NFL this year not associated with KaeperPRICK that are" department - Online headline: "The NFL's controversial new helmet rule was enforced just 4 minutes into the first preseason game of the year" -- Good grief.. I just watched a video of a routine tackle and saw a referee call it a 15 yard penalty. The number one play I would order as a coach would be for my quarterback to hand the ball off to my smallest running back about 2 yards behind the line-of-scrimmage and have him "bait" the defensive lineman to tackle him.. I figure a two yard loss with a 15 yard penalty would get me a new First Down on every play! The NFL has become "flag football"... in two ways.. no contact other than with the hands, and a yellow flag each time there is.
 
---
From the "removes all doubt" department - HuffPOOPOO headline/story: "Barack And Michelle Obama Reportedly Hire Hollywood Executive For Netflix Deal * Former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama are ramping up their post-White House creative projects, appointing a top Hollywood executive to join their newly formed production company that will make movies and series for the streaming giant Netflix. * Filmmaker Priya Swaminathan will help develop projects for the Obamas’ Higher Ground Productions," -- Hmm.. proof positive that Netflix hired the Obamas as figureheads... a role they perfected in the White House,, which pretty much conforms how and why little was accomplished over 8 years.. they took the pay for the job and hired someone for less to do it for them. 
 
It confuses me that the Obamas are calling their business "Higher Grounds Productions".. is it because they know their previous paths wouldn't work, or because they are rushing to higher grounds to avoid drowning in their flood of incompetence?
 
---
Update... My MSM-10 just isn't accurate enough.. Gotta add the Atlanta J/C, the Macon-Columbus Ledger-Enquirer, and NPR. That makes it 13 entities, so..the ongoing name will be the MSM-13.... and appropriately, mimics the other terror group known as MS-13. 
 
---
Online story: "On Thursday night, Tennessee Rep. Diane Black came nowhere near winning the state's GOP governor's nomination. Despite beginning the race as the front-runner, she finished 13 points behind the winner -- a wealthy businessman who ran as an outsider in the mold of, you guessed it, Donald Trump. * Black's convincing loss is simply the latest in a string of defeats for Washington, DC, Republicans seeking to win statewide office this year. She is the fifth sitting GOP member of the House to lose a statewide primary already in 2018, many of whom, like Black, began their races as the favorite only to be passed by a candidate running as an outsider to the Washington system." -- Let's face it.. swamp-sitters just haven't proven to voters that they support the new life Trump has breathed into America.. and voters are going to get leaders that believe in Trump to run their states and America!
 
Of particular note is that in this CNN story, the man's name that beat Congresswoman was not mentioned until the 8th paragraph.. and only by his last name.. well, CNN.. and the rest of MSM-13, his name is Bill Lee.... get use to it!

Friday I mentioned that the NewYorkTimes was 17% owned by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim...wait a minute..I thought it was Illegal for foreign nationals to own American Media outlets. 
 
---
Ellen DeGeneres... did you know she has a design company.. she calls it Ellen Designs... "ED" -- how appropriate... most men and women get "ED" when they think about Ellen DeGeneres.
 
---
You know, how can California criminalize plastic straws yet promote free and ready access to clean plastic drug syringes? 
 
---
Had a memory jog yesterday..all of a sudden I wondered where Tipper Gore was.. Seems there is a separation in affect since 2014. Guess her life was "splintered".
 
---
Let's see...unemployment for blacks, Hispanics , women, and Americans is at an ALL TIME low. Analysts attribute most of this to Trump's repeal of Obama policies and Executive Orders. Sorta makes you realize what Obama's real agenda was.
 
---
Online headline: "DACA program should be fully restarted, federal judge rules" -- Excuse me.. How does a single judge, at any level other than the US Supreme Court (and which needs 5 votes), rescind a rescinded Executive Order? It was never a law !
 
---
M/C L-E headline/story: "Columbus man with two girls on river without lifejackets charged with reckless conduct * A Columbus man accused of placing two girls without lifejackets in a one-person boat to enter the rapids on the Chattahoochee River was charged Thursday with reckless conduct." -- "reckless conduct"? Unless those two girls were his own daughters, and he has proper custodial rights, the man should be charged with KIDNAPPING!
 
---
From the "the beat goes on.. and on.. and on" department - M/C L-E headline: "Man dies of multiple gunshots at Bull Creek Apartments marking third homicide this week" WE need an official scorecard to keep up with the total homicides and the number of people shot but get saved as well. There is confusion among "official" as to the running total.. some say this is number 23, but another died this year from a last year's incidence (24), and a man was recently charged with a homicide for running over his toddler while texting (25), and who shoots themselves with a .410 shooting revolver.. (26 in my book).. and "the busy season" is not even close yet..
 
---
Hmmm... Trump's tariffs are in place against China, America's farmers have been protected against short term repercussions, our economy is soaring, American jobs are returning, and China's economy sucks.. I'd say Trump's plan is working pretty darn well...DIMs and RINOs in Congress should take very good notes!
 
---
Online headline: "BART crime spike across San Francisco Bay Area spurs volunteers to escort riders to cars" -- Hmmm... SF is a sanctuary city for illegals, it's OK to carry/dispose of single use PLASTIC syringes, it's against the law to carry .. both guns and PLASTIC straws, and BART riders have to worry about a post ride volunteer escort walking them to their vehicles being a potential robber, and his makes sense to California citizens to stay there? BUILD the WALL to include California on the other side!
 
---
Online story: "Former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed reached secret terms in a settlement with the airport general manager he fired in 2016, agreeing to pay Miguel Southwell $147,000 more than was disclosed to the City Council and the public, an Atlanta Journal-Constitution investigation has found." -- Huh? $147,000.00 MORE than was disclosed"? My questions are how much WAS disclosed, and why Reed and Southwell are not already ion jail?
 
 
---
From the "the sky is falling.. the sky is falling" department - Online headline/story: "
Ga. Pecan Growers Brace For Lower Profits With Chinese Tariffs * Georgia’s pecan farmers are bracing for lower profits during the upcoming harvest. * That is because of a nearly 47 percent tariff China plans to impose on U.S. pecans. Those come in retaliation to the tariffs the Trump administration imposed on Chinese goods in early July." -- Good grief.. harvest season does not start for 2 more months and Trump has a safety net already installed, and China's economy and quality of living is already nose-diving. I look for even better trade arrangement for our pecan farmers in the future.
 
 
---
You know.. Trump should issue an Executive Order making it illegal for any illegal alien for holding any job in America with two exceptions.. 1 .. manual labor with a government issued "green card". and 2 - a skilled job with proof that jobholder has applied for and is on-track for US citizenship.
 
---
Online headline/story: "In Georgia, Democrats are changing their strategy * Stacey Abrams is building a new sort of coalition against Trump Republicans" -- Good grief.. "a new sort of coalition"? With whom! She already has her limit of Hellary supporters and MSM-13 which were against Trump in 2016.. What DIMocrats.. Ms Abrams included, should concentrate on is developing a new message..and MESSENGERS.. not a regurgitated strategy..
 
 
---
Online story: "Chattanooga developer seeking to purchase Bellefonte Nuclear Plant and bring the dormant Alabama facility online sought help from President Trump's embattled former personal attorney to land a $5 billion federal loan. * The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that Franklin Haney - the leader of Nuclear Development LLC - agreed to pay Michael Cohen $10 million if he helped secure funding for the plant." -- Hmmm Sounds more like a bad businessman with a half-pipe-dream consorting with a greedy lawyer than it does about making a deal with Trump..
 
 
---
M/C L-E headline/story: "Tour of Spencer High shows what $56 million project has produced * Spencer principal Johnny Freeman, starting his fifth year as Spencer’s principal, estimated the new building is at least double the size of its predecessor. * “I think I need a scooter to get around,” he said. “It’s huge.” -- "It's huge"? Well this just confirms that this is another waste of tax dollars authorized by the MCSD administration! As it was, the existing Columbus High Schools could have absorbed the Spencer students without building a new school.. and now the new "new" Spencer is even bigger than the OLD "new" Spencer. Just think of how $56,000,000.00 could have been used to improve ALL the other Columbus high schools without building more unneeded space.
 
---
M/C L-E story: "It is a truism that the people who attend a rally for President Donald Trump more than two years before he’s on the ballot again are generally strong supporters of his. Especially when those supporters are willing to wait hours in thick humidity in a treeless parking lot here, as thousands did on Thursday night." -- What's really apparent is this reporter (PHILIP BUMP - Washington Post) is more shaken that Hellary couldn't draw a crowd like this even during her 2016 campaign!
 
What was most obvious though, is that the reporter did not report on the rally or it's purpose...
 
---
From the "MSM-13 facts-to-justify-the story" department - Online story: "The devastating Carr fire that has torched more than 130,000 acres in Northern California was reportedly started, in part, by a flat tire. * According to CNN, officials have indicated that the fire was ignited by sparks shooting out from the rim of a trailer wheel hitting asphalt after the tire went flat." - "officials indicated"? As Jon Lovitz would say, "Yeah, that's the ticket" Well, if you "fight fire with fire", then we can "fight fake news with fake news".. If "officials" can ":indicate", and CNN can report it as "factual news", then we can "fill-in-the-blanks". Hmmm, here goes... if a trailer tire went flat and the rim scraped the road, we have to assume it wasn't a semi with double tandem wheel-sets because the other tires would keep the failed tire's rim from making contact, so it must have been either a small boat's trailer... OR a trailer used by a lawn maintenance service..the lawn maintenance service being the probable culprit.. and since it was in California, it was probably driven by illegal aliens since California American Citizens believe manual labor is a job Americans want do, so Californians created a Sanctuary State and are against Trump building a "better Wall" ..
 
Hmmm.. no wonder CNN likes "fake news:.. it can be created from an air-conditioned office, and "facts" only have to suit the CNN agenda..
 
---
Online story: "Gov. Cuomo says he’s fine with New York financial regulators putting the squeeze on the National Rifle Association. * “If the NRA goes bankrupt because of the state of New York, they'll be in my thoughts and prayers," Cuomo said in a statement Saturday * The gun-rights group gripes in Albany federal court that New York’s Department of Financial Services is pushing too hard to dissuade banks and insurers from doing business with it." -- "(the NRA) will be in my thoughts and prayers"? Not only does Cuomo need to be "separated from regulating businesses out-of-business", Cuomo needs to define to WHOM he is praying.. obviously GOD and Jesus would not accept Cuomo's prayer request that harms others, so Cuomo must be a Devil-worshiper!
 
---
From the "DIMocratic-Socialism explained" department - HuffPOOPOO headline/story: "Venezuelan president unharmed after assassination attempt by explosive drones * The drones, loaded with explosives, detonated near the presidential box. The president was speaking at an event celebrating the Venezuela National Guard’s 81st anniversary. " -- Hmmm.. ah.. the people of Venezuela love their leader of their Socialism life..... NOT... and MSM-13 is upset that the most visual example of Socialism is making the American DIMocrat-Socialist Party attempt hard to sell their message for 2016 and beyond. MSM-13 is praising the botched attempt... I guess MSM-13 doesn't want DIMocrats not stepping up as leaders of Socialism..
 
---
You know, if our schools actually taught what Socialism is, no young voter would ever vote for a DIMocrat.
 
---
I just saw an internet "banner ad" for GA Power Co... why does the Public Service Commission ALLOW GA Power Co to spend money on ads then "expense it" so GA Power Co can request a rate increase to make the "guaranteed" profit level?
 
---
From one of our "ever alert" BCers.. Have you seen the current state of repairs on the RiverWalk where the bank blew out below the Bull Creek Bridge.. Didn't that happen back in 2017... and the repair work looks awful... (Pics if you ask for them)
 
---
I enjoyed following golf at Firestone this weekend..Partly because I could go about my day and get updates and videos via my smartphone, but mainly because I'm didn't have to turn on CBS to do so. Moonves is such a hypocrite!
 
---
Will someone please tell me what high-traffic road the City is actually.. and actively.. working on.. I want to go see it so I can figure out if/when Cloverdale - between Whitesville and Mobley Rds - is going to be fixed..Cloverdale and 54th Street - between River Road and Veterans Parkway - are in pathetic shape.
 
---
From the "of course it's California" department - Online headline/story: "After complaints, school's mural showing Trump's head on spear ordered covered * School officials in Southern California this week ordered part of a mural to be covered because the artwork showed President Donald Trump's severed head on the end of a spear. * After complaints from the community, the mural was initially covered with plastic Wednesday, then later covered with plywood, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported." -- "covered with plastic.. then plywood"? Good grief.. the "artist" who did this should have her head dipped in a bucket of paint remover, then use her hair as a paint brush to remove the entire mural!
 
---
Online headline: "Illinois celebrates first official 'Barack Obama Day'" -- Hmmm... explains a lot.. the rest of the country celebrated "Obama Day" on January 20, 2017 when he left the White House.
 
---
From the "false response" department - Online headline: "Feinstein was 'mortified' by FBI allegation that staffer was spy for China" -- What BS.. if anything, Feinstein was mortified that the FBI discovered what she had to have known all along...
 
---
Online headline: "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shuns Hollywood elites in West Coast tour" -- Hmm... looks like Hollywood has had a "wake-up call".. under DIMocrat-Socialism, they can expect their worth to be shared by the masses... at government discretion.. of course.
 
---
From the "Go, Sarah, Tell it like it is!!" department - Online headline/story: "After Laura Bush Calls Trump ‘Immoral,’ Sarah Hits Her Where It Hurts The Most * Former First Lady Laura Bush hopped on the bandwagon this weekend, criticizing the Trump administration for separating children from their parents when they cross the border illegally. Bush’s chastisement of Trump was even more eye-roll-inducing than others we have heard, however, as she was essentially slamming President Trump for enforcing immigration laws that were signed by her own husband." -- Did you catch it...."enforcing immigration laws signed by her husband"...in 2008! And in 2008, The DIMocratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995! The DIMocrats "wrote" and "passed" the "Trafficking Victims Prevention Reauthorization Act" and sent it to Bush43 to be signed into law! Oh, and Pelosi was Speaker of the House, and Dingy Harry Reid was Senate Majority Leader.
 
---
Online headline: "Kentucky Democrat reportedly jokes about Rand Paul assault: 'He can be beaten'" -- Hmmm guess Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes (Grimes is considering running for governor in 2019), believes in and promotes.. violence... in politics..
 
---
M/C L-E "HEADLIE": "SOUTH COMMONS SOFTBALL COMPLEX * Sports Council seeks millions in upgrades" -- WRONG.. the Sports Council seeks close to $6 MILLION to cover up its lack of of an ongoing maintenance program! If you look at what the Sports Council is calling "upgrades", you see that all they are is replacing basic neglect of building essentials that would have cost a lot less to fix if they were addressed before they became the eyesore problems that exist today.. Oh, and why doesn't the Sports Council go back to the softball stadium's private donors and ask them for "maintenance money"?
 
---
From the "if you can't convince them with facts, dazzle'em with BS" department - M/C L-E story: "A body was pulled from the Chattahoochee River behind the Columbus Civic Center after a walker on the RiverWalk spotted it floating face down in the water, authorities said Saturday. * The unidentified white male was pronounced dead at 12:46 p.m., said Deputy Coroner Charles Newton. His body will be transported to the crime lab in Decatur on Monday for an autopsy. He was wearing tennis shoes, dark jeans shorts and a pullover polo shirt. * (Deputy Coroner) Newton said the man had many tattoos and an injury to the back of his head, possibly from falling into the river." -- "possibly from falling into the water"? To begin with, why would a "possible" be mentioned.. but why would the L-E repeat such.. there's an autopsy already ordered.. this just looks like a lame attempt not too add to the "possibly" ANOTHER murder this week in Columbus..
 
---
From the "you didn't see a headline/story like this in the Obama years" department - M/C L-E headline/story: "Worker shortage leaves employers scrambling * One of President Donald Trump’s priorities, low unemployment, is complicating another: curbing immigration." -- "worker shortage".."curbing immigration"? The MSM-13/DIMocrat coalition just doesn't know how to participate in Making America Great Again! Low work force availability is the number one way to increase wages starting at the bottom levels, and increasing "loyalty raises/bonuses" for employees! What the MSM-13/DIMocrat coalition wants is to keep the wages low by making sure more illegal aliens can get into America. Build the WALL!
 
---
From the "how come" department - M/C L-E headline: "Democrat: Trump panel didn’t find evidence of widespread voter fraud" -- Hmmm.. how convenient.. how come DIMocrats want to discuss this, but not the Mueller Inquisition which has produced nothing on any Trump collusion?
 
---
M/C L-E headline: "Lakebed preserves secrets of Mayan civilization’s collapse" -- Hmmm... have you noticed that environmentalist who claim Global Warming/Climate Change will cover-up out cities, never talk about ancient cities that have been covered by rising waters? Why... because the "Chicken Littles" cannot show how man's industrialization was the cause.. and obviously, neither was overpopulation or poverty...
 
---
M/C L-E guest commentary "HEADLIE": "We can’t afford to live without Medicare for All * BY DIANE ARCHER * Washington Post" -- WRONG... what we can't afford IS MEDICARE for ALL.. and SOCIALISM cannot do it either.. in fact. the Socialist Creed TELLS DIMocrats this, yet DIMocrats still don't... uh.. WON"T accept it. Karl Marx is noted as citing this: ""From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs". Funny, though, is that EACH needs to produce enough for themselves in order for ALL to have what they NEED, yet Socialism deflates the desire for most to do so.
 
---
Looks like the Columbus didn't send in its Council Agenda to the Sunday M/C L-E this week, guess the mayor doesn't want the public to know what she and the City Manager want to slip by us..
 
---
Online headline: "Here's what the left doesn't get about America" -- Hmmm You know, we could discuss this all day... every day for a year and not run out of examples, but.. in a nutshell.. what the left doesn't get is that America is not Cuba, not Venezuela, not China, not Libya, not Syria, not Iran, not Kenya, nor North Korea, and if the left is apologetic for this, then there's plenty of room for them to pick one of those places and move there.
 
---
Online headline/story: "11 kids found on 'filthy' New Mexico compound during search for missing 3-year-old boy, sheriff says * Authorities hoping to end a months long search for a missing 3-year-old boy raided a New Mexico compound Friday to look for the toddler — but instead found 11 other children who were malnourished and living in filthy conditions, authorities said. * Police were initially at the compound to look for Abdul-Ghani Wahhaj and a 39-year-old man, Siraj Wahhaj, accused of abducting the boy last December. Wahhaj was located on the property and arrested. The child that sparked the initial search was not found.* Abdul-Ghani’s mother reported in December her son missing after Wahhaj took the boy to the park in Clayton County, Ga., and didn’t return for nine days" -- Hey, MSM-13/DIMocrat coalition.. why weren't you on top of this screaming for there "traffickers" to reunite the kids with their parents!
 
---
From the "celebrating in style" department - Online headline: "Chicago's bloody weekend sees at least 40 people shot, 4 of them killed" -- Wow what an exciting.. and, unfortunately, appropriate response.. to celebrate Obama Day Weekend in Shicago.
 
 
---
What's with this local I-14 movement? How would building a new Interstate be quicker, cheaper, or more effective than completing I-16 from Macon through Columbus-Montgomery to connect with I-20 at Meridian MS?
 
---
Remember the "@sarahjeong" story last week? She's the new CBS editorial board member called out for her many... MANY .. racist tweets, yet CBS determined she was just responding to other people's attacks in a similar mode? Well. it appears that Twitter shut down a black conservatives Twitter account when she took some of Jeong's "tweets" and substituted "blacks" where Jeong used "whites". (Example: “Black people are only fit to live underground like groveling goblins. They have stopped breeding and will all go extinct soon. I enjoy being cruel to old black women,” Owens tweeted)
 
Oh, and I guess it's "OK" to use the "g-word" (gook) to describe Asians if you are Asian.. Not in my book, but CBS must "feel" like it is...
 
---
I'm curious.. did the M/C L-E make any "formal" announcement that it was/has stopped publishing the "soundoff" replacement, "Two Cents" column?
 
---
M/C L-E headline: "Sex education: Many school districts in Ga. stress abstinence" -- Hmmm.. "many,, stress abstinence"? Herein lies the problem... ALL of the school districts should stress abstinence! Even one school preaching otherwise conflicts the message young people should be getting.
 

---
From the "Bias? what bias?" department - M/C L_E guest commentary headline: "Trump hurts himself fighting Koch network * BY ED ROGERS * Washington Post" -- Hmmm.. in other words, Trump should roll-over and play dead? We thank God that Trump follows the law but doesn't follow the "rules" of politics.. if he did, Jeb Bush might have become the Republican nominee, which means Hellary WOULD have become president and America would have continued on the Obama path... only faster.
