From the "backhanded slap in your own face" department - HuffPOOPOO headline: "Mission accomplished for Democrats, but not without disappointment" -- Good grief.. all that money.. all that effort fro a "blue" Tuesday versus a "Blue Wave". With any luck, America may benefit if the Democrats replace Pelosi and Schumer...

Nancy Pelosi..whatta witch! She says she wants to strive for bi-partisanship..yet, we know she never has. No Republicans had input for Obamacare, and not even Democrats in Congress got to read that bill before it voted on, and she led the entire House Democrats to either boycott President Trump's SOTU speeches, and led the ones that did show up in dissing Trump even when he talked about military heroes.

Columbus has done "it" to itself again.. stuck it's two politically LEFT thumbs in it's own eyes. Democrats may be proud that Abrams got a higher percentage of votes locally than Hellary did, but once again Columbus ostracized itself in a Republican government... adding injury to insult, Kemp got a fewer percentage of Columbus' vote than Trump did in 2016.

 

---
Democrats may have gotten one wish it may regret.. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez IS GOING TO WASHINGTON.. Republicans should keep a camera on her at all times to use clips in the 2020 House races to show voters across America what the Dems really are.. Socialists.

Online headline: "Beto O’Rourke wins on Election Day...even if he loses his race, Reuters says" -- Good grief! I thought Political Correctness went out on Nov 9, 2016.

 

---
Beto... Beto who? Guess the "cause celebre" of the Democrats showed Dems the quickest way to dump $70 Million down the drain.. guess his new name should be "Zero".

 

---
Online headline: "Girl Scouts' lawsuit accuses Boy Scouts of trademark infringement
" -- Good grief...the Girl Scouts ought to be suing the Boy Scouts for kowtowing to political correctness pressure and taking girls into the Boy Scouts!

Oh.. it looks like Taylor Swift took a swing with her version of a Louisville Slugger at the Trumpmobile,, but smashed her out own headlights....

---
I guess some rib poking does get things moving...finally..two weeks and two days after it was announced that work on the River Road Roundabout would begin...it did..the backhoe moved, some trees were taken out, and a rental debris dumpster was dropped off next to the human debris "dumpster". Mayor-elect Skip may not have to take all the flack for the traffic jams and delays we'll experience over the holidays.

 

---
Guess the M/C L-E has decided to stop printing mug shots of Felony Arrests..Guess pointing out that more than half of the arrests were of people who were violating terms of their probation/parole meant that most of the new crimes wouldn't...no, COULDN'T have happened of they were serving their full sentences.

You know, as much whining about healthcare that the Democrats campaign on, when can you remember when the Democrats actually worked with Republicans in a bi-partisan effort to fix healthcare?

While not a Greg Gutfield of Fox News fan, he did nail something on the head last evening. He made an off the cuff statement that had me in stitches....he said, "It's amazing what Democrat voters have to ignore". To prove this point, NJ resent Menedez's garbage back to Washington.

 

---
From the BTW" department - How did Sen Bob Menendez, D-NJ...get DNC support to rerun for the Senate after the Democrat assaulted on Judge Kavanaugh on false charges that were way less that true charges against Menendez?

 

---
Good grief..Michael Dukakis was on Fox ..he looks like he's been running away from Willie Horton ever since the 1988 election...but once he opened his mouth, you couldn't his liberal spiel. Sadly, he's teaching college kids his mantra and sending them out to seek government jobs. You'd think there'd be some mandatory term limits way before an ex-politician reaches 85.

 

---
One of the most flagrantly under-informed Democrat spinmeisters on Fox feels independent voters are leaning towards Democrats..you know I'm an independent conservative, and even though I'd decided early that Trump and his kept promises would get my vote in the midterms, even if I hadn't, what Dems did in the Kavanaugh inquisition would have changed my mind instantly.

 

---
Moderate Democrats? They don't exist anymore. Missouri' McCaskill and Arizona's Sinema flat out lied about their stand on 'the WALL" and on putting soldiers on border. There's no way either will support Trump in Washington.

Online story: "WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday considers a Missouri murderer's bid to avoid execution by lethal injection on the grounds that the procedure might rupture blood-filled tumours on his body due to a rare ailment, with new Justice Brett Kavanaugh likely to be the deciding vote. * Lawyers for Russell Bucklew, 50, have argued that because of a congenital condition called cavernous haemangioma the lethal injection could cause undue agony in violation of the U.S. Constitution's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment." -- Good grief...and the person.. and his friends and family, who died didn't suffer cruel and unusual... and totally UNNECESSARY punishment?

If you get a chance, look on Columbus Mayor Tomlinson's FB page... there are a number of pictures taken at some political meeting in Atlanta.. .. There are two interesting pictures with her hubby in them.. one group shot shows the Mayor being several inches taller than her hubby, but there is a portrait shot of just the two of them that shows her being several inches shorter than him.. At first, I thought maybe he was standing on a box or step.. but reality was regained.. obviously, she was stooping.. and we know how low she will stoop to get what she wants people to see.

From the "lucky guess?" department - M/C L-E headline: "Forte wins Superior Court clerk special election" -- As a rule, the Ledger-Enquirer has already closed shop for the day before the voting is over and tabulated.. Regardless, Congrats to Danielle Forte.. it's good to have a legal background person running the Clerk of Superior Court office.

Brian Kemp fared even worse in Clarke County than he did in Muscogee County.. Kemp only got 28% of the vote in Athens. There has to be consequences for the liberal movement to invade college campuses and get students. in and out-of-state ones at that, to register to vote in that county. Some parents of out-of-state students who pay aberrant out-of-state tuition fees are going to "smarten up" and sue the state on the basis that the state has recognized their children as state residents, and they h=should have to pay out-of-state tuition... and the parents will win.

From the "accuracy.. NOT!" department - M/C L-E story: "Two Columbus men were killed Monday night when the car they were in collided with a tractor-trailer truck on Victory Drive, shearing off the top of their vehicle as it hit the trailer and slid underneath it. * The fatalities occurred at the intersection of Victory Drive and Jackson Avenue, which is near the Riverdale and Porterdale cemeteries entering a curvy area of the four-lane highway. The tractor-trailer apparently was turning left, crossing Victory Drive onto Jackson Avenue, just after 7 p.m. " -- "entering a curvy area of the four-lane highway"? Did the L-E even bother to send a reporter to the site? Hmmm.. maybe the real question is whether the L-E actually HAS a ]reporter on staff that it CAN SEND to investigate. Looking at a map of the area, drivers heading west (as this car was) have a totally unobstructed view of the roadway, and since DST is over, it was in full darkness and cars and trucks would have had their lights on. My sympathy for the families of the young men.. but perhaps some distracted driving issue was relevant.

Why do we wonder why Columbus gets no respect in Atlanta... we have 8 Senate/House reps from the Columbus area serving in Atlanta.. 6 of them ran uncontested in this election, and the two that were contested were from Districts where the incumbents decided not to run this year.. In other words.. samo-samo..

I didn't realize that Mike Roger's opponent in the Alabama District 3 House race was a former Miss America.. and after hearing her concession speech, I surely wouldn't have guessed it.. what language.. she'd have been booted off the stage if she answered her "question" using this language during the competition.

From he "2012 Campaign revisited" department - M/C L-E headline/story: "With poo on a pedestal, Bill Gates talks toilet tech * Placing a jar of feces on a pedestal next to him, billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates made a plea Tuesday for the safe disposal of human waste as he kicked off a “Reinvented Toilet” Expo in China. * “You might guess what’s in this beaker – and you’d be right. Human feces,” the former CEO of software giant Microsoft said. “This small amount of feces could contain as many as 200 trillion rotavirus cells, 20 billion Shigella bacteria, and 100,000 parasitic worm eggs.” -- You know.. my first vision was Clint Eastwood talking to an empty chair.
