From the "UpChuck Schmoozer lives up to his name" department - With no intent other than to cause consternation and distraction from now to November, Socialist-DIMocrat Senator Chuck Schumer of NY said he was going to introduce a bill to rename the Russell Senate Office Building (a.k.a. Old Senate Office Building or Old S.O.B.) of the late.. but unburied.. John McCain. Schumer will do anything to get conversation away from the DIMocrats not having a positive message to offer the country so he just wants to create negative discord since the Trump-assault is not working. Please take note that Schumer did not ever suggest renaming any of the Senate Office Buildings after EITHER Jack or Ted Kennedy. You know, Schumer MUST be considered to be honored with a Senate Office Building name one day.. perhaps even the one being discussed now.. it fact, it could revert back to the original name and be on point.. simply the S.O.B.

 

What a bush-league play by Schumer..calling for renaming the Senate office building for a Republican who's not even buried yet. Purely a political move by Schumer to cause consternation going into the November elections

I just learned something new today..the founder of Winchester Firearms was William Wirt Winchester... so begins a new search to connect him with my genealogy....as I am a great-grandson of William Wirt Fry. Hmmm... maybe I am a son.... well gg-son... of a gun!

Online headline/story: "Cohen's lawyer walks back claim Trump knew of Russia meeting * Lanny Davis, is walking back his assertions that his client, the president's former "fixer," could tell a special prosecutor that Trump had prior knowledge of a meeting with a Russian lawyer to get damaging information on Hillary Clinton." -- "walks back"? Or maybe Davis had a dementia slip, and it's not ABOUT Hellary's meeting with the Russian uranium meeting.

M/C L-E headline: "Immigration detainees cite ‘deplorable conditions’ inside Stewart facility in lawsuit" - Gimmee a break...isn't the reason they come in illegally because of truly deplorable conditions in their home countries?

You know, after all the roundabouts are installed, maybe the Chamber can market "Columbus..the Circus Town of "Terry"-Go-Rounds".

Another week...no Campaign Disclosure from Zeph Baker, and Amy Bryan campaign signs are still eyesores on Chamber member buildings.

Speaking of unfinished local news, what is the determination of the cause of the head injury on the body that was pulled out of the Chattahoochee a few weeks ago? I'm sure the GA Autopsy Center is busy just from the backlogged "business" from Columbus, but a preliminary report should be available by now.

Well, once again, eliminating our 2nd Amendment rights is the primary thought and goal of the MSM-13/DIMocrat coalition. What MSM-13 doesn't grasp is that once the DIMocrats neutralize the 2nd Amendment, they can also neutralize MSM-13's prized 1st Amendment rights without being contested.. Does MSM-13 really understand that when the DIMocrats ever regain power, they will not want MSM-13 holding them accountable.

Bi-partisan is a most inadequate word to describe how things get done in Washington. What's needed is individual representatives, regardless of party affiliations, bringing the wishes of their constituents to fruition in their voting... not kowtowing to self-aggrandizing party manipulators.

 

---
How about that...President Trump has negotiated a great new deal with Mexico under the radar of MSM-13 and while MSM-13 has been distracted by it's own agenda of trying to portray President Trump as incapable of running our country. Trump ..Vision 2020.

From the "what is going on in our public schools" department -- Online story: "The chairman of a Connecticut school district's board of education resigned after the board voted to begin each meeting by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. * Josh Adams, chairman of the New Hartford Board of Education, reportedly stepped down after opposing a vote by his fellow board members. * Adams was overruled after telling board members that he would not propose the policy in a meeting, saying he decides on the agenda as chairman." -- Good grief.. how can schools NOT teach pride, unity, and support of country are keys to survival!

From the "there's a new category for "trans" department - Online headline/story: "Socialist NY Senate candidate challenged over claims of being an immigrant, Jewish * A Democratic Socialist candidate for New York Senate faces questions after reports emerged that she falsified her biography, including claims about being an immigrant and Jewish, while her previous work shows she was a Christian conservative advocate. * The candidate for state office previously told multiple outlets that she’s an immigrant from Colombia and noted that her family immigrated to the U.S. when she was young. Her father, she said, was Jewish but the family had little contact with the American Jewish community after they arrived to the country. * “I immigrated to this country with my family when I was very little. In Colombia, my mom raised me as a single mother,” she also said during one of her events on the campaign trail." -- Good grief.. not only are libs declaring their gender at whim-of-the-moment, this politician is declaring her religion and country of origin by what neighbor hood she's in... wonder if she's been to Harlem yet so we can find out her DNA?

 

You know, I think new laws about primaries need to be enacted and enforced.. especially one about showing an indisputable Certificate of Birth and Citizenship path.

Online headline: "Iran claims it controls Strait of Hormuz, prompting Pompeo denial" -- Hmmm.. I feel pretty sure the U.A.E and Saudi Arabia might not fully agree with Iran, but if I was calling the shots.. I do believe I'd place a couple of aircraft carriers and submarines to stop any Irani oil from leaving the Strait of Hormuz.

How do "Gun Free Zones" really protect law abiding citizens? When these are advertised or signs posted, all it does is tell outlaws that no one who obeys the law will be armed and able to defend him/herself or other law abiding citizens. Just another liberal fail.

There's rumor that Poop Francis's head may be on the chopping block in the Vatican.. all the sexual improprieties that are happening under his command are stacking up a little bit TOO HIGH for even Poop Francis.. On a better note, Poop Francis would be welcomed gleefully in San Francisco, and there's probably a waiting job for him...head of the Poop Patrol on the streets of San Francisco.

I have an idea that truly benefit Columbus taxpayers and Government employees alike. There's an issue on the Council agenda concerning allowing law enforcement officers to take their 'take home' patrol cars to their homes in other counties or states. Columbus would benefit greatly if all these valued citizens lived in Columbus, so make it a win-win situation for Columbus taters and law enforcement personnel alike. Set up an exemption on the City's portion of property taxes for as long as they work in such jobs, and lifetime if they serve 20 years or more. Oh.. and don't forget that there could be dangerous liability situations if our law enforcement officers were speeding in another state/county and were involved in or caused a wreck on their way to Columbus to handle a duty call.

From the "the sky is falling.. the sky is falling" department - M/C L-E headline/story: "FORT BENNING * Lead levels in military housing draw scrutiny * An investigative report last week by an international news agency has brought congressional scrutiny on lead-based paint issues in older housing at military installations, specifically many of the older and historic homes Fort Benning used to house soldiers and their families." -- Good grief.. tons of American homes.. schools even, that have lead-based paint on the walls without causing safety issues until major renovations are scheduled, and then, there are already "lead abatement" procedures/laws already in effect. It's the dust from such that creates the problem, and contractors are responsible for following procedures. If there are lawsuits filed, it's the contractors who should be served..

From the "bet DIMocrats don't invite him to open their political events" department - M/C L-E story: "More than 1,000 people packed the Columbus Convention and Trade Center’s ballroom for the first day of the 13th annual forum dubbed “Art of Leadership.” * “One of the things you have to learn eventually is that if you do not take responsibility for your life, you do not have the power to change your life. You must take ownership or you relinquish power,” said Monday’s opener Erwin McManus, an author, entrepreneur and pastor of a church in Los Angeles." -- "One of the things you have to learn eventually is that if you do not take responsibility for your life, you do not have the power to change your life. You must take ownership or you relinquish power"?  Wow... this is a warning shot to all of the DIMocrat voting base about who to NOT vote for! DIMocrats are the ones that want to enslave the country... again!
