I don't know what's more exciting...Kemp winning the GA governorship, or knowing the California money and celebrities did nothing but spark our economy instead California's.
 
---
In retrospect: How much better off would California be if it's billionaires and celebrities had spent all the time and money (and we're talking hundreds of millions of dollars) on correcting California's forestry issues rather than trying to influence.. buy/bribe.. the citizens of Texas, Florida, Arizona, and Georgia to elect people "they" felt should represent OUR interests

Online headline: "Americans rank Barack Obama as best president of their lifetimes: Poll".-- What kind of Americans...illegally undocumented ones, or Central and South Americans... or teenagers

From the "how can a hate-filled Un-American Politician serve America" department - Online story: "California Democrat and likely 2020 presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris drew fury after comparing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the Ku Klux Klan during a hearing on Capitol Hill. * She asked Ronald Vitiello, President Trump's nominee to lead ICE, whether he shares what she said was the public’s view that ICE was spreading fear and mistrust, in particular among immigrant communities, the same way the KKK did. * “Are you aware of the perception of many about how the power and the discretion at ICE is being used to enforce the laws and do you see any parallels [with the KKK]?,” she asked." -- Good grief! Hasn't anyone explained the US Constitution to her? You would think a lawyer would HAVE to be aware of our Constitution JUST to get a license to practice it, but someone please tell her that she'll get the 55 Electoral Votes whether she wins by 1 or 5,000,000 legal/illegal votes in 2020. Oh.. and this KKK she blames.. maybe it really stand for Klinton, Klinton, and Kobama?

The Constitution...wait... Our Constitution divides the power of running this country between three entities...the Executive Branch, the Legislative Branch, and the Judicial Branch..but only at the highest levels. Giving injunction capabilities to a lower court judge over the President is not in Our Constitution. It would would be akin for a State Legislature overruling a law of the federal level Legislature at its whim. It's sad that political liberals and MSM-13 give any kind of credible publicity to such .

First I was startled at Hellary's statement that "the only thing she's ever stolen was people's hearts". Then I realized..you know, maybe she's flying a trial balloon to see if she has a new career as a touring stand-up comedienne.
 
---
News (as of late Friday) is that at least 71 people are confirmed dead in the current California fires is tragic..disturbing..news that there are over 1000 people unaccounted for is starling and horrifying. Pray for an abundance of miracles!
Better yet, you can help: I have a sister who lives in California with her family.. They are not in the directly affected areas. I contacted her Friday and asked for her recommendations of good organizations we could contribute to to help out reach programs for those so affected by the fires. She gave me these website addresses:
 
 
 
 
---
Now, for, as Paul Harvey might say, "the rest of the California story": In corresponding with my sister who lives fairly near San Francisco.. here's a lot more going on than just the "Camp Fire"... she mentioned how bad the air quality is and that schools have closed because of it...It's ironic that all the California "green laws/regulations" to "protect the forests" have snapped back and bit California citizens on their butts.
 
---
You know, any politician...even executives that work for MSM-13 organizations..that demand a president to publicly air his/her tax returns should have to furnish their own tax returns for public airing BEFORE a judge considers their ploy. ....and regardless of how the president decides to handle the demand. BTW, no one can be forced to publish their tax files.. not even Presidents.
 
---
Thinking about how much it costs for Congresspersons to live in homes in their home states as well as the Washington, DC area on a $175,000 annual salary, maybe it's time to have every Congressman's income subjected to an annual audit..
 
---
Let me repeat ... clarify.. my opinions on @vennatti..while we should not push for MSM-13's demand for " rush to judgment" we can advocate for full discovery of the evidence presented and for a fair trial.
 
---
Officials are now saying the fires are not just a California issue, but an American issue...hmmm..how convenient..amazingly, California officials says American laws are NOT an California issue, so leave our sanctuary cities and illegal aliens alone.
 
---
You know the biggest disappointment revealed in this election is that Florida's Democrats in 2 major counties are basically proud of ..admit to..not being trustworthy to assure every citizens rights to have a voice in their vote.
 
---
From the "Yogi Berra: It ain't over 'til it's over" department - Online headline: "Stacey Abrams says she can’t defeat Brian Kemp in Georgia governor race; will sue over mismanagement of state's election" -- Hmmm.. but unlike Yogi.. Stacey Abrams doesn't know when IT IS OVER...
 
---
From the "we can do better than this" department - Online headline/story: "CIA determines Khashoggi’s death was ordered by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman: report * The death of Jamal Khashoggi, the writer and activist who was killed in the Saudi Consulate in Turkey last month, came at the directive of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), the CIA has determined according to a report out Friday. *  The agency’s conclusion came as a result of “an understanding of how Saudi Arabia works,” rather than a “smoking gun,” a U.S. official with knowledge of the situation told The Wall Street Journal." -- No "smoking gun"? Haven't we been through enough "rush to judgment" CRAP in the last 2 years to want to start another crisis? We have an FBI/DOJ investigation aimed at President Trump based on something other than a "smoking gun" and we know Hellary was arbitrarily "cleared" of wrong doings when she was caught WITH two "smoking guns" - the Steele Dossier (a.k.a. the Russian election influencing files) and the Democratic Party collusion to deny Bernie a fair shot at the nomination. Then throw in the Kavanaugh Persecution that didn't even have a smoking gun.
 
You know, it's funny.. no.. this is pathetic.. MSM-13 will "rush" to convict a Saudi citizen in another country, yet "rushes" in at the drop of a sombrero to defend illegal aliens who have killed American citizens..

Looks like some US cities would do well to recruit Tijuana's mayor to come be it's Mayor..He's bemoaning what the influx of thousands on "caravaners" is doing to his town. "Please, and we don't want any more migrants in Playas de Tijuana." waiting to apply for entry into the US.. Juan Manuel Gastelum said there were 2,750 migrants from the caravan in Tijuana and that estimates by Mexico's federal government indicate the number could approach 10,000. * "No city in the world is prepared to receive this — if I'm allowed — this avalanche," he said during a news conference at City Hall. "It is a tsunami. There is concern among all citizens of Tijuana." Of course, Mayor Gastelum should learn the definition of "migrant" before he opens his mouth again..Migrants are NOT criminals who crash another countries border fences carrying the flag of another country. These are illegal aliens.. invaders.. to Mexico as well..
 
---
Online headline: "McDonald's being sued for marketing Happy Meals to kids" -- Hmmm.. and I see the validity of the complaint... not only is "Happy" a totally inappropriate description, it's also a misnomer, and contributes to the delinquency of good health in children.
 
---
From the "irony of poetic justice" -- Seems Ireland Baldwin.. Alec's girl had a run-in with a police officer who would not let her drive on a back canton road to her home in Malibu.. because her ID did not have her Malibu address on it..Sounds to me the police officer was doing a fine job.. but she referred to him a d**K in her "tweets". I understand that as Alec Baldwin's daughter, so she's pretty much an expert on what a d**k is,, she really knows what a d**k is, but she's obviously confused at other authority figures just doing their jobs professionally.. at least she didn't try to punch him out.

The car industry has hit a "pothole".. of its own making.. and it's not the tariffs that loom.. no.. the car industry has become such a dependent on "payments" to get shoppers into their vehicles, but the soaring economy has sparked "the Fed" into raising interests rates ahead of possible inflation fears. As payments are basically based on the interest charged versus the principle paid down. A $25,000.00 loan at 3% for 5 years carries a payment of $449.00, but if that same $25K loan has a 6% interest rate, the same 5 year payoff jumps to $483.00, and if you have little or no credit, you can see rates of 15% or more, and a 15% interest payment will run $595.00 for those same 60 months. And let's face two things.. car manufacturers don't based their sticker prices on actually costs/value.. they are priced to capitalize on "curb appeal" and what the market will bear.

Straight out of the Salmon Rushdie archives: M/C L-E headline/story: "Pop heartthrob’s confession divides his Muslim fans * When British pop star Zayn Malik tweets “Eid Mubarak” every year at the end of Ramadan, his Muslim fans around the world go wild. “Thank you for making me so happy!” some respond, while others reply with Eid greetings and prayers in Arabic and Urdu, or send Eid cards and fan art. * But now the former One Direction singer says he no longer identifies as Muslim. In an interview with British Vogue this week, Malik said he appreciates his religious upbringing but is no longer religious himself, beyond a “spiritual belief” in a God. * “I don’t believe you need to eat a certain meat that’s been prayed over a certain way, I don’t believe you need to read a prayer in a certain language five times a day,” Malik said. “I don’t believe any of it. I just believe if you’re a good person everything is going to go right for you.” -- Looks like sequel has arisen of "Satanic Verses".. and though Rushdie has escaped... so far.. the fatwa/death decree of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini on Valentine's Day in 1989 (yep.. Valentine's Day to show the world that Islam respects 'love"), the recent brutal killing of Jamal Khashoggi shows the Saudi royalty does not respect the laws in other countries.

Online headline/story: "Kellyanne Conway suggests Trump is willing to shut down government over wall funding * “I don’t care what the political ramifications are, our immigration laws and border security have been a complete and total disaster for decades, and there is no way that the Democrats will allow it to be fixed without a Government Shutdown.” -- You know..The "Wall" is such a necessity.. now and in the future, that Trump should take this stand.. I do wish he'd order that no back pay be given to non-essential civilian, and non-military/law enforcement government employees... and I include elected federal government officials in the first group.
 
---
Finally.. all looks about as right as it can be with the Governor races in Fl and GA, and the Senate race in FL, but.... is there an end to the incompetence of the Broward County Election ..I'm almost beginning to believe that it's really NOT intentional ...but I do believe I it really is..Thursday saw a deadline missed by 2 minutes, and Friday "impartial volunteers" double counted some of the ballots invalidating the possibility of a correct count.
 
---
Put you hands together in prayer for the brave law enforcement officers we lost in that helicopter crash.
 
---
Good grief.. Californians tried to interfere with who we elect to serve and guide our state, and now the M/C L-E is printing a "Letter to the Editor" by another Californian about how WE should clean up our house.. Do you you reckon the California (_@_) has swept the dirt out from under his own "welcome mat"?
 
---
No need to update last weeks happenings at the River Road Roundabout...3 days of rain. I understand, Thursday, somewhat, as it was cold and dank, but Friday was magnificent yet no work done at all.. Of course we are paying the salaried folks, but we certainly are not getting our moneys worth...oh, and Zeph Baker is still in violation of THE LAW, and we have no clue about the Mayor's wreck..You'd think that as publicity hungry as she is, she'd love the front page exposure....and we still don't know the status our the man fished out of the river in August, and I understand that we had another murder on Friday.
 
---
Another thing that's killing car dealers...$50,000+ for a pickup truck? How can one expect a craftsman to WANT to use it for work?
 
---
From the "promises kept" department - Online headline: "President Trump donates fourth-quarter salary to infrastructure projects" -- Can you imagine how stress free the Democrat 'base' would feel if Democrats kept their campaign promises?
 
---
With rumors and speculation running rampant , maybe the L-E should make a definitive statement about the near term status of Chuck Williams' future at the L-E.
 
---
While there's no doubt doubt that a citizenship question should be added to the next..and future... census takes, there obviously needs to be such a confirmation of citizenship made on every name on every voting list before the next general election date.
 
---
From the " Democrats are just sick and treasonous" department - Online story: " U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell on Friday said the U.S. government would use its nuclear weapons in a hypothetical war against Second Amendment supporters refusing to give up their firearms.
The California Democrat, who is openly considering a run for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination in 2020, made the outlandish remark on social media after a gun-rights advocate pointed out that the lawmaker once called for gun owners to surrender their assault weapons." -- Good grief..this is exactly why our Founding Fathers supported the 1st Amendment with the 2nd Amendment! Think about what this (_@_) said...that he would support sending American soldiers against American citizens for the sake of attaining the sick agenda of the Democrat Party.
 
---
From the "when's it going to stop" department - Online headline: "Avenatti's law firm evicted from California offices over unpaid $213G rent" -- Is this not a perfect "branding partnership" for Morton Salt? You know, "When it rains, it pours.".
 
---
Do you think Democrats and MSM-13ers realize ..or care...that the Democrats spent more time and money trying to influence voters in other state's elections than they can even 'suggest' Russia did in 2016?
 
---
It's pretty ironic...that Nancy Pelosi would campaign to Democrat Representatives with a promise of serving only a year. Who better than Democrats should remember Pelosi telling all other Democrats that they should do and say whatever it takes to get elected?
 
---
From the "possibly the fastest broken promise ever made by a Democrat" department - Online story: "U.S. Rep.-elect Ilhan Omar this week reaffirmed her support for a pro-Palestinian movement to pressure Israel, rankling Jewish community leaders who say she contradicted remarks made at an August candidates forum." -- You know, I grew up hearing the adage, "Fool me once, shame on you; Fool me twice, shame on me". Obviously this was not taught in the Jewish communities... unless.. they are applying the "turn the other cheek".. 70 times 70 times.
 
---
You know, Stacey Abrams isn't willing to fully concede defeat in her GA gubernatorial race, but I can live with that since she's also not willing to take responsibility that most of the registration problems stem from her own New Georgia Project when incorrect or incomplete data was recorded without verifying ahead of the election.
 
---
Did you watch Fox and Friends Saturday morning? Well, John McLemore..a former neighbor of mine when I lived in Harris County, and chief bottle-washer of Masterbuilt Smokers was on demonstrating his product in action. He showed off a smoked Turkey covered with a "bacon wrap", that I swear I could smell all the way from NYC!
 
---
I definitely agree with President Trump about so-called asylum seekers carrying the flags of the country they claim has persecuted them to point of fear..especially when they March behind a black version of the Honduran flag that looks like it was modeled after an ISIS flag.
 
---
Think about this...as liberal and artsy/politically correct most Hollywooders and stage actors are, why do they continue to tell their actor friends to 'break a leg?
 
---
Online headline: "Harvard Touchdown Called Back After Running Back Flipped Yale's Defense The Bird" -- Good grief! "unsportsmanlike conduct"? Thank goodness the referee couldn't throw flags on what the player was thinking about the ref and his mother, or the NCAA would have thrown the death penalty flag for the Harvard football program.
 
---
Looks like a shake-up at ABC... seems the direction of outgoing ABC president is down .. just like her show decisions...sadly, the article does not even mention the cancellation of "Last Man Standing" nor the fiasco "The Roseannee-less Conners" is.
 
---
Looks like Stacey Abrams will join Ossoff, Beto (a.k.a. Be70,000,000.00) Gillum, Nelson on the Hollywood "S***-List" for wasting their time and money and egos trying to get elected..
 
---
We all know the Obama's are now "living" in the Washington, DC area, but have they sold their home in Shicago? I ask, because I want to know if the costs taxpayers footed to make the Shicago home secure have been .. or will be... reimbursed since they don't even use it?
 
---
Of a pure local interest: Late week... an icon of Columbus passed.. Joe Posey, 96.. my mentor and friend at Wynnton Hardware here in Columbus...if you lived in Columbus and never met him, it's your loss. Services will be today (Monday) out at the family cemetery in Ellerslie..
 
---
Online headline: "Portland mayor wants to cancel 'Trump free speech' rally *
Mayor Ted Wheeler says he's concerned those in attendance could 'peddle a message of hatred'" -- What hypocrisy..as a rule I've pretty much found that proponents of shutting others right of free speech are the real hate mongers.

Best college football uniform of the year: Notre Dame "nailed it" with Yankee pinstripe pants playing in Yankee Stadium on Saturday..

Online headline/story: "American flag discovered in Camp Fire ruins in California * Amid the raging Camp Fire's red glare, that Star-Spangled Banner yet waved. * Members of a search and rescue team working in wildfire-incinerated California neighborhoods found themselves living out the national anthem and discovering "our flag was still there" -- the American symbol the only thing in the area not singed by the deadly blaze. * It definitely caught my attention, it was pretty amazing to see," Lewis told "FOX & friends." "The house in the backdrop was completely burnt to the ground, yet the flag was still there." * The officers documented the address where the flag was discovered and secured it, in hopes of returning it to the owners in the future." -- Returning the flag to its owner WILL be inspirational, but how about doing so at the singing of the National Anthem at a home San Francisco 49er game.

Where are the Democrat whiners protesting the voter suppression issues that kept black candidate John James from winning in Michigan? Huh? Oh, I forgot..John James is a successful..very successful business man who is a Republican.
 
---
Online headline: "Since he's visiting Texas, we asked Warriors coach Steve Kerr about his Beto O'Rourke 2020 tweet" -- Good grief...why do the California freaks express more concern about who other states elect to represent them that they spend 100s of millions of dollars on hate ads rather than helping support good programs to fix the California forestry problems?
 
---
Hallmark has got it wrong...its 2018 movies about Christmas are full of "this is what Christmas is all about"..yet other than an occasional Carol, there's been no mention about Christ, nor any nativity scenes in them.
 
---
From the "Trump explains his success in under 50 words" department - Online story: "Trump said that had he been “more modified, more moderate,” he wouldn’t have been able to accomplish half of what he has in the past two years. He added it’s important for the president to have “a certain ability to fight back.” -- And you read the same synopsis ... and frequently.. here in my "Breakfast Club" ramblings from the "gitgo" of his presidency... while MSM-13 and liberals are spewing off their "indignation" at Trump's tweets, Trump heads in the other direction and gets things done!
 
---
From the "images we can never erase.. because we were thinking the same thing but just not printing it out" department - HuffPOOPOO story: "The president attacked Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), referring to him as “little Adam Schi**,” for calling out the fact that Whitaker’s appointment as acting attorney general was not confirmed by the Senate ― an omission many legal experts have described as unconstitutional. * “So funny to see little Adam Schi** (D-CA) talking about the fact that Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker was not approved by the Senate, but not mentioning the fact that Bob Mueller (who is highly conflicted) was not approved by the Senate!” Trump tweeted." -- Schiff may as well have his name officially changed by swapping the "ff" for "tt" so when he runs for re-election next time, people will recognize his name on he ballot.
 
---
M/C L-E headline/story: "Mayor-elect must tackle an out of control public agenda at city meetings * City Manager Isaiah Hugley raised serious concerns over the time set aside for the public to speak on topics after it took more than an hour and half during Tuesday’s meeting. A line of public speakers delayed the 10-member council from getting to purchases and other issues until the afternoon." -- You know.. when citizens take time out of their lives to go to a Council meeting to express their frustrations/anger, it's basically a glaring sign of poor leadership and communication.
 

From the me story: "With issues piling up already for the new administration, the council apparently wants Henderson to get to every meeting promptly. They approved a new Ford Explorer at a cost of $31,355 for the mayor-elect." -- $31K... with or without the previous mayor's trade-in vehicle?
