Online headline: "NBC/WSJ poll: Trump approval 'remarkably stable' after a stormy week of bad news * But 56 percent of voters say Trump has not been honest and truthful about the Mueller probe." -- First, if 95% of the news you heard was one-issue propaganda of hatred for a person just existing, you would start believing what you hear.. but, you know...the MSM-13/DIMocrat coalition would be doing the same things they are doing to President Trump if any other Republican has beaten Hellary..while there wasn't much chance of that happening (but it could have). Of course had Trump not won, no other Republican would have gotten the tax cuts passed, the job increases, companies moving back to America, gotten the economy and stock market and retirement accounts soaring, or gotten a conservative candidate nominated and approved for the Supreme Court.

John McCain.. R.I.P.
 
---
Prior online headline: "At GOP event, Trump is silent on dying McCain" -- Good grief.. if Trump HAD said words of condolence, the MSM-13/DIMocrat coalition and Mueller would have pounced on those words as insincere.. and PERJURIOUS, and called for impeachment.
 
---
From the "bias? What bias?'" department - New York Times online story: "President Trump offered his “deepest sympathies and respect” to the family of Senator John McCain on Saturday night, setting aside a years long, bitter and often deeply personal feud between the two men that had lasted into the senator’s final days. * The president shared his condolences in a tweet, shortly after it was announced that Mr. McCain, who had been battling brain cancer, had died. * Mr. McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam who rose to power as a prominent Republican politician, emerged as an early and vocal critic from within Mr. Trump’s own party." -- Good grief.. "Mr McCain... Mr Trump"? The NYT couldn't even get through a eulogistic story without "dissing" Senator McCain and President Trump...
 
---
Online headline: "Clinton, Obama among Democrats paying tribute to McCain's commitment to bipartisanship" -- You know, when Obama, Hellary, and Schumer express remorse over the death of any Republican, you know their sincerity comes out of the other side of their mouths.
 
---
Online story: "In his more than three decades of service on Capitol Hill, Sen. John McCain was known for many things: his dedication to the United States, his passion and his temper, his strong convictions, and, maybe most notably, his ability to work across the aisle to get results.In his more than three decades of service on Capitol Hill, Sen. John McCain was known for many things: his dedication to the United States, his passion and his temper, his strong convictions, and, maybe most notably, his ability to work across the aisle to get results." -- Hmmm.. and what McCain will lastly be remembered for is the vindictive "NO" vote on ending all of ObamaCARE.

Online headline: "Yellowstone bear that attacked boy won't be captured, killed" -- Hmmm... the kids father must have been wearing a "MAGA" hat...
 
---
Hmmm... it seems a 2nd no-name Fox news reporter has left Fox News this month... because he was "unhappy with the tone of the conversation".. Hmmmm... guess Fox is more balanced now, as those two must have way further left than Juan Williams and Jessica Tarlov.

So Oprah is shelling out $90 MILLION on her new mansion.. proud for her success... but it sure does put a question about her stances on humanity.. her "Oprah Show" could have staged an audience of 246 homeless people and given them all $250,000.00 homes had over $28,000,000.00 left to build her own mansion.

Online headline/story: "San Francisco's 'Poop Patrollers' cleaning up -- on the streets and at the bank * , San Francisco has assigned six city workers to a new "Poop Patrol" to rid targeted sidewalks of human waste -- but it turns out the pay is far from crappy.
* "Poop patrollers" earn $71,760 a year, which swells to a value of $184,678 with mandated benefits * A team of five Public Works employees and a supervisor will begin patrolling the alleys around Polk Street and other hot spots in about a month" -- Hmmm.. and the average salary for a San Francisco teacher is about $56,000. Looks like San Francisco is paying more to scrape up the crap of people than it pays for the liberal crap it puts into students..., and since it is a 6-man public works team, I expect some photos of San Francisco tourists to take pictures... of a supervisor holding TP, one shoveling, and 4 leaning on their shovels... and holding their noses

Oh! The new "Poop Patrol" is part of the city’s Pit Stop program, which also provides staffed public toilets around the downtown areas. Wonder if the attendants offer cologne for their patrons..well, it is San Francisco.

MSNBC had a DIMocrat spinmeister on Friday who actually tried to convince the MSNBC panel that a Department of Education program which would allow schools the option to use grant money to arm and train teachers to be able to thwart an attack by a shooter should not be allowed because some teachers might discipline brown or black students by shooting them. ..and nobody on the MSNBC stepped up to challenge such stupidity. WE have to assume any MSNBC "rating figures" above ZERO are 'fake news'.

How can an immunity deal with the CFO that Trump turned over 'the gate" to his financial empire be made without shining the light on aspects the CFO wants to avoid being held accountable for?
 
---
How does granting immunity to a criminal benefit justice? Our Constitution protects individual rights better than any other Constitution in the world. We have a right to a speedy trial, a fair trial, a trial by a jury of one's peers, even legal representation whether its personally affordable or not, so how does "paying off" someone who has an illegal mess on his/her hands to say bad things about someone else and not be responsible for the damage...or for the real crimes he/she committed. Technically, such a witness cannot even be fairly cross examined by the defendants attorney. Now, offering protective custody or even a reduced, but adequate (for the crime) sentence can be a useful tool, but immunity..it's just not what should done in America.

Online headline: "Defiant Pelosi says she's not going anywhere: 'I have a following'" -- "a following"? Well, so did the Pied Piper of Hamlin... first the lemming, and when they broke their promise, then their children... sounds like play out of the playbook of every Socialist-DIM0crat in history.

From the "shades of the General Lee" department - Online story: "One California school district is being both championed and condemned for its new "anti-dress code" instated for the 2018-2019 school year, allowing students to sport looks that include tube tops, ripped jeans and pajamas on campus to their heart’s content. * In recent weeks, the Alameda Unified School District (AUSD) rolled out a revised dress code policy on a yearlong trial period, which the San Francisco Chronicle describes as "among the most permissive in the Bay Area.” * While those students enrolled in the San Jose-area district are still required to wear bottoms, tops, shoes and clothing that "covers genitals, buttocks, and areolae/nipples with opaque material,” they otherwise have a whole lot of sartorial freedom. * According to the policy, hats, hoodie sweatshirts, leggings, yoga pants, skinny jeans, midriff baring tops, pajamas, ripped jeans (as long as underwear is not exposed), tank tops including spaghetti straps, halter tops and tube tops are all fair game. Sweatpants, shorts, skirts, dresses, pants, religious headwear, athletic attire and clothing with logos are also allowed. *Meanwhile, the youth are barred from wearing anything with language or imagery promoting drugs, alcohol, violence, hate speech, profanity or pornography, as well as visible underwear or bathing suits. * Reps for AUSD told the Chronicle that school board officials agreed to change the dress code after some female students complained about feeling body-shamed from enforcement of the old dress code last year." -- heh heh heh.."some female students complained about feeling body-shamed from enforcement of the old dress code last year? Though not specified in the words, the pictures include "Daisy Dukes".. and believe me, not many people can wear those without "body shaming" everyone who can't .. Oh! can you not see Senior picture day.. when transgenders show up in Daisy Dukes and tube tops?

You know, there's a lot of good to be said about Jeff Sessions...and I believe he was right in recusing himself from the current Trump Inquisition, but I think he was wrong in allowing Mueller to head it up. That said, I agree with President Trump that Sessions should have initiated a separate team to go after the FBI personnel and the DOJ personnel who collaborated with Hellary and Obama and Mueller.

From the new breed of DIMocrat who has learned to speak fluently out of both sides of her mouth AT THE SAME TIME" department - Online headline/story: "Ocasio-Cortez claims solidarity with cab drivers -- while campaign buys rides from Uber, other 'alternatives,' FEC data show * New York Socialist Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez once blamed ride-sharing giant Uber for leading a yellow cab driver to suicide. Her campaign then took $4,000 worth of Uber rides. * NYC's fourth driver suicide. Yellow cab drivers are in financial ruin due to the unregulated expansion of Uber. What was a living wage job now pays under minimum,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote" -- You know, her only interest in Yellow Cabs is that cab drivers are unified and a voting bloc... and in typical DIMocrat form, is only interested in THEIR VOTES.

Online story: " A federal judge dealt a blow Saturday to President Donald Trump's efforts to "promote more efficient" government, ruling that key provisions of three recent executive orders "undermine federal employees' right to bargain collectively" under federal law. * U.S. District Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson said Trump had "exceeded his authority" in issuing the orders." -- Excuse me, but what part of the Constitution endows one District Court Judge.. one with but 5 years experience appointed by an anti-constitutional president, the power to tell a sitting president what he can't do? It takes a majority of sitting U.S. Supreme Court Judges to do that and that was what the Founding Fathers wanted.

As we get ready for the new football season, my main rule question of this year is the same as the last few years...If the defense cannot grab..even unintentionally...the facemask of a ballcarrier , why is the runner allowed to stick his arm/hand out and put/Jamie into the tacklers facemask/helmet? It's the same ...it's controlling the other player through this equipment.

What looked like what was going to be a season long tongue-twister and spell-check enigma may have been solved by an ardent Alabama fan and parent. We were discussing the upcoming season and got on the subject of Tua Tagovailoa, and after some stirring and stammering, he just started calling him, "The Hawaiian". So be it.

I watched a replay of the UGA-ALA playoff game yesterday.. I tell you what..I'd think again before putting all my marbles on a quarterback who won't start his first college football game this year on the basis of a "hail Mary" on a 2nd-and-26 play in the overtime period..

From the "it's bad when Bill Maher is the only interview you can get" department - Online headline: "John Brennan agrees with Bill Maher that Trump presidency is 'third great crisis in American history' -- How did Brennan ever GET security clearance in the first place?

You know, if the illegal alien that killed the young woman in Iowa came into the US 7 years ago, he would qualify as one of Obama's "dreamers".. ironically, people now will look at it more accurately as one of Obama's "NIGHTMARES".

M/C headline/story: "LAW ENFORCEMENT * Traffic tickets now paid online at Recorder’s Court" * The payments are confirmed promptly and there is a small fee charged by nCourt to offset the expense of using the system." -- "a small fee charged by nCourt to offset the expense of using the system"? Hmmm.. you know, seems like there's no break for the citizens of Columbus here.. seems that using an online collections service would save a lot of City employee man hours and record keeping to make it worthwhile for the City to joyfully absorb the collection fees.

Columbus Council Agenda:
"CITY MANAGER’S AGENDA TIA SPIDERWEB NETWORK PROJECT : Approval is requested to enter into a supplemental agreement with the Georgia Department of Transportation to adjust the engineering services and ROW budget for the TIA Spiderweb Network Project. The Spiderweb Network Project is a 2012 Transportation Investment Act project for the development of a bridge over the Norfolk Southern railroad that crosses Buena Vista Road near the intersections of Illges and Andrews Roads. The project was approved by the voters in 2013, for total budget of $40 million dollars. As the project has developed, so have the costs to complete the necessary engineering. The original budget set the cost at $2,484,684 for preliminary engineering, with the understanding that a cost to provide the final plans would be established later. That cost has now been determined to increase by another $2 million for a total of $4,484,684." -- First, what is "necessary engineering"? Sounds to me like an examination and planning project... How does such run $2 MILLION over original budgeting?

One other Council discussion will be about letting officer take their "take home" vehicles to their homes in other counties and/or states, but that's not what the program was trying to accomplish. One of the benefits of the take home vehicles was to park them in driveways as visible objects of police presence.. which should.. could.. act as an additional deterrence to criminal activity.. Of course, there is a win-win solution.. such officers can move back into Columbus.. which adds the additional benefits of not only them being closer to "duty", but also paying property taxes in Columbus, not other cities/schools/states.. Carrying it a bit further, why not require ALL Muscogee County/Columbus employees live in Columbus so all those tax revenues will be paid into the community that employs them... AND, all would be counted in OUR population counts so Columbus would benefit from state and federal distributions... and don't tell me this CAN"T be done.. it is elsewhere.

You know, our police department cannot stop bad things from happening on our streets, but they can help stop them from happening again....but not unless our juries and courts put...and keep,...them incarcerated long enough to make them not want to go back.

The Little League World Series ended yesterday with South Korea taking on Hawaii in Williamsport, PA. Think about this, Hawaii traveled further to Williamsport than it would have had to travel to South Korea. Oh... BTW, congrats Hawaii!

PRICK's Sporting Goods spent a lot of money as a sponsor/advertiser of the Little League World Series.... Hmmm..spent? More like wasted..I haven't been in..nor plan to in the future.. a Prick's Sporting Goods Store since it kowtowed to liberal gun issues.

Guess the squeaky wheel does get oiled....sometimes" department - I mention a section of Cloverdale periodically because of it's horrific potholes...last week, obviously the City took notice, and came out and fixed them...all ELEVEN of them. Now, how long does it take for one-half of 1/10th of a mile of roadway to develop 11 potholes? Glad they are fixed...currently...but we'd had an obstacle course we all had as we discovered new potholes in the places we once zigged to avoid the one we knew about. You cannot but wonder if alignment shops pay the City a cut of every re-alignment job they get.

Online headline/story: "Americans 'deserve to know' if president as corrupt as people around him who pleaded guilty * A key House Democrat on both the Intelligence and Judiciary Committees said Americans should know if President Trump is implicated in any way by the convictions and guilty pleas of some of his former associates." -- Even more important is America knowing how corrupt the Obama/Clinton/Comey/Lynch/McCabe et al relationships have been.

Online headline: "NBC/WSJ poll: Trump approval 'remarkably stable' after a stormy week of bad news * But 56 percent of voters say Trump has not been honest and truthful about the Mueller probe." -- First, if 95% of the news you heard was one-issue propaganda of hatred for a person just existing, you would start believing what you hear.. but, you know...the MSM-13/DIMocrat coalition would be doing the same things they are doing to President Trump if any other Republican has beaten Hellary..while there wasn't much chance of that happening (but it could have).

There's a list of the "Most Polluted Cities", but it's outdated.. it ranks San Francisco the number 6th worst.. In my book, once Council authorized a "Poop Patrol" division to scrape up human excrement, San Francisco leap-frogged to the Number 1 spot..
