From the "Bias? What Bias?" department - Online headline: "Trump strongly defends use of tear gas on caravan migrants" -- "Trump strongly defends"? You better believe it.. it's HIS JOB! Good grief.. First, people who want to invade.. force themselves into another country, are NOT migrants... secondly, MSM-13 did not even challenge President Obama's call for tear gas in a similar "invasion attempt" in 2013.

MSM-13 and Democrats are attempting to shame President Trump for defending our county from illegal aliens attempting to overrun our border with tear gas. "They are horrified at mothers and children being 'gassed'. Well, what mothers deserve to even HAVE CHILDREN when they intentionally expose them to such circumstances?

 

---
Online story: "New York Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand called the use of tear gas “horrendous.” * “We must hold those responsible accountable,” Gillibrand tweeted. “Children who approach our country looking for asylum should be welcomed with open arms, not with tear gas.” -- Good grief..how about holding the mothers responsible for putting their children in such potential situations!

You know.. In 1969, my generation was in awe of landing a man on the moon some 240,000 miles away.. yesterday, we landed an unmanned probe on Mars... Mars is about 100 Million Miles away and millennials  hardly blinked.

 

One thing about the landing is a real tribute to the growth of technology.. The last six minutes of the landing required the pod to go from over 12,000 MPH to ZERO. It was done with parachutes and programmed reverse engine thrusts...but totally blind. Signals from Mars-to-Earth take 8 minutes ..each way...once the pod began descent, no adjustments, no corrections, could be made...well, even if this generation is not impressed, mine is.

Normally I mention dragged out issues on Mondays, but yesterday was already l-o-n-g..so here goes...nothing from Zeph Baker, nothing on the Mayor's car accident, the Roundabout on River Road just finished its first month with maybe 8 days of work and not much to show for $191,000.00 (1/24th of $4.6 million), no word on the man with the bashed in head who was pulled out of the river last August, and we're getting near to the countdown to new folks sitting in local government slots.

Online headline: "The White House Continues Its Tradition of Turning Christmas Into a Horror Film" -- It's sad when MSM-13 cannot find anything in the world to say something nice about what the Trumps do. Did I say sad? I think I meant PATHETIC!

I have my own ideas about why GM sales suck..looked at a Cadillac CT6 last Spring..it's suppose to be a big car, but it totally failed in being a big man's car..no headroom/ legroom for a 6'6" man in front, nor in the back. And Buick...who can figure out visually a Buick from any other car, and none of the sedans are 'large'. Then their are the "matchbox sized" offerings when people want safety and comfort..

HuffPOOPOO headline: "Chris Cuomo Gets Slammed For Saying Police Gassing Migrant Caravan Were Doing 'Duty'" -- Just proves Trump's claims that MSM-13 would rather publish Fake News versus the truth.

Online headline: "Barbra Streisand rips female Trump voters: ‘They don’t believe enough in their own thoughts’" -- Well, I'll damned if I ever advocate to my daughters that Hellary should be any kind of positive role model for them to hold in esteem.. she's vicious, she's a liar, she's a criminal, she's hindrance to equality for women, she tolerates an intolerable womanizer for a husband, and doesn't know how to bake cookies.

Online headline: "Ocasio-Cortez compares members of migrant caravan to Jews fleeing Nazi Germany" -- Wait a minute... this is the same Socialist-Democrat who supports Palestinian attacks against the Jewish in Israel! I don't see much difference in her view and Hitler's.

Have you seen that ad for "Coravin"? You know..the one where you stick a "needle" through the cork, pour out your wine, then pull the needle out and the cork reseals so it will taste good a year from now...I don't believe that.. at all... sticking that needle in and pulling it out will not keep new air from entering the bottle, and "new" air damages wine.

From the "Big Brother's partner in crime" department - Online headline/story: "The Next Data Mine Is Your Bedroom * Google wants to scan your clothing and listen to you brush your teeth. Welcome home. * In the first patent, Google imagines devices that would scan and analyze the surroundings of your home, then offer you content based on what they detect. According to the patent, the smart cameras in such a device could, for example, recognize Will Smith’s face on a T-shirt on the floor of a user’s closet. After matching this analysis against your browser history, the device might then say aloud, “You seem to like Will Smith. His new movie is playing in a theater near you.” -- Stop! Before you read one more word, put tape over your computer camera lens, and disconnect your Google "HOME". If you have a Google "HOME", you've probably been jolted awake when the voice sudden erupts with a "I didn't get that" when you weren't addressing the device.. Just to be safe, cut-off your phones "location" app whenever you are not using it to find something you want to find.

From the "suspicions confirmed" department - Online headline/story: "Plunge in Clinton Foundation donations fuels GOP scrutiny amid DOJ probe * The tax filings, which were made public this month, show the Clinton Foundation pulled in $62.9 million in 2016, but only $26.6 million the following year, representing a nearly 58 percent drop. Tax documents for 2018 are not yet available." -- As suspected.. the Clinton donations were part of her foreign "donors" having to "pat-to-play" when Hellary was Secretary of State and probable 2016 Presidential winner.. now foreign domains realize "she can't get them nothing anymore!"

It's really a shame that the L-E still feels it's relevant in our community...one of the former public services the L-E blessed the community was the "Mug Shots" of charged felony arrests . Why.. because it demonstrated that more than half of the new arrest charges were being made against felons who were in violation of the terms of their parole or probation..this showed that most of the crimes would not have been committed if the previously convicted felon had simply served their entire sentence of their previous conviction.

I tell what..any parent who rushed our Southern Border with their children as shields trying to illegally breach the security of our country and then complain about tear gas being used should have their children removed from their custody.

Think about this.. our housing markets would be more stable if a single lower interest rate were used by all mortgage/banking companies. As it is, mortgage companies take a buyers info and decide risk factors which determine a wide range of interest rate choices. What if a single low rate was all such companies had to work with, and the companies just allowed buyers to finance what they can afford based on a set formula? As it is, buyers take a high interest package to buy over their income level which means the buyers are more at risk of not being able to afford their home payments.

CB&T became Synovus, and went from the "Bank of Here" to the "Bank of Where". Now Synovus is getting more and more outsiders in management.. guess the next slogan will be the "Bank of WHO?"

Hey, Columbus.. did you know Auburn was playing at the Maui Invitational? Yes they were. In fact, Auburn won 3rd place beating Arizona.. Just thought you'd like to know despite what the L-E feels...
