Boy will tonight's Monday Night Football put the NFL's stance about allowing players to "kneel" in protest of our National Anthem.. there's no way the players can separate the disrespect to our military with whatever it is they think they are protesting.. Wait a minute.. there almost IS a way.. They could at least salute and be respectful while they are kneeling.

From the "bias? What bias?" department - Online headline/story: "President Donald Trump could not attend a commemoration in France for U.S. soldiers and marines killed during World War One on Saturday because rain made it impossible to arrange transport, the White House said. * The last minute cancellation prompted widespread criticism on social media and from some officials in Britain and the United States that Trump had "dishonored" U.S. servicemen." -- "dishonored"? Good grief! President Trump has done more to HONOR vets and their families by his revamping of the VA that was in shambles when he took over.. He's honored veterans and their families by getting soldiers killed in Korea 60+ years ago. He also HONORED active servicemen by NOT exposing them to fly a helicopter in dangerous conditions..

No wonder Bama looks so good defensively...they can rush/blitz 8 or 9 players on a pass play because they've got 2 or 3 defensive backs and 4 or 5 referees defending against the pass.

Good grief... Mississippi State had to go into halftime and re-strategize how to defend against the referees! Missed fumble, and stealing a touchdown are pretty bad "home cooking" plays to have to overcome against any team, but against the Number 1 team at home...

Soapbox Moment: - Momentum... let's talk about "momentum".. Momentum is basically controlled emotion and confidence. One moment can turn it on or off in a millisecond. It happens out of the blue most of the time, but it can be destroyed just as easily.. Take the Alabama-Mississippi State game yesterday.. I t was a very .. pretty much brutal... physical match-up.. Four of the best defensive linemen in the country were playing..yet referee calls changed momentum and fortunes in a heartbeat.. Two grievous "moments" happened at the most advantageous times for Bama.. conversely, they were back-breakers for State. In the opening serious, BAMA fumbled and State recovered.. the call on the field was that the runner was down..irrefutable video replays showed the ball was loose before either of the runner's knees were "down". Fumbles are review-able.. yet no call for one was made. BAMA continued down the field to score. At the end of the first half, State scored a touchdown...until a yellow flag was thrown and a State player was called for a "block in the back" penalty.. the only referee in the complex WITHOUT a clear view threw the flag (and "penalties" are not re-viewable except for "targetting").. The truth was that the Bama player "foot-fumbled and fell" and the one ref without a clear view "assumed" he was pushed. This made what should have been a 14-7 halftime score (7-7 if that first Bama TD was erased because of the pre-mentioned uncalled fumble), and State was to get the ball to start the second half. Yes "momentum" is a mysterious occurrence, sometimes there's no explanation of how or why it occurs nor when it is coming. What we do know is that"momentum" should neither be given nor squashed by the referees.

Online headline: "Recounts ordered in Florida Senate, governor races" -- You know.. some order should be dictated to consider/count ballots.. primarily, only ballots kept under constant security of an election official since the polls closed be considered and/or counted..
Case in point: Online story: "A Florida teacher found and reported a box containing potentially uncounted ballots on Thursday — two full days after extremely close midterm elections in the Sunshine State. * Schoolteacher Lakeisha Williams of Miramar Elementary School told the New York Post, “I went into the area that we use for storage and saw it in there.” -- Found it?... in a closet? .. two days after the election? Good grief, it was probably stored there weeks ago...

Hmmmm ..if black voters cast 92% of their votes for a black candidate, and 74% of white voters cast their vote for a white candidate, it's rather clear that white voters are less focused on a candidate's color than black voters. At least some people heard Dr King's "dream".

College football needs to adjust the scoring on field goals..How about 1 point for 25 yards in, 2 points for 50 to 26 yds., and 4 points for longer goals. The primary effect would be for teams with "4th and goal on the one" would go for it rather than mechanically "take the three".

River Road Roundabout Recap: Let's see.. work came to a screeching halt (.well, it was Wednesday), so...after 3 weeks..we've seen 4 days of work , a bulldozer has been added, the human waste debris 'dumpster' was decorated to scare the crap out of users , a buncha trees were taken out without one peep from the Mayor or Trees Columbus, and we still don't know if the dirt packing machine will even crank up. Your guess is as good as mine as to when/whether it will be finished in our lifetimes.

Why do scientists continue to try to "connect" humans with apes by evolution? What's clear to me is that God saw what he created in apes, and wanted a better version HE could commune and converse with, so He created humans... Other wise, there'd be example after example of "evolution in progress".

On the other hand.. though not via DNA, scientists could make an argument about Democrats being a more associated with apes... hey do share more in common.. an absence of God in their lives, and a tendency to prefer mob rule/action versus intelligent civility.

Drive by.. even through Columbus High School on a weekend, and look at the construction going on to build the new wrestling/cheerleader practice facility.. It's going to creep into the baseball field even more than I first imagined..and confirms that there really was no practical area construct it once the MCSB ruled out any possibility of building it attached to the gymnasium because it would eliminate as many (or more) of the parking spaces they added 2 years ago to give MORE parking.

From Columbus Council Agenda: "II. GMA RECERTIFICATION CITY OF ETHICS PROGRAM: Approval is requested to recertify as a “Certified City of Ethics” and if approved accept recognition from the Georgia Municipal Association.
From Columbus Council Agenda: "II. GMA RECERTIFICATION CITY OF ETHICS PROGRAM: Approval is requested to recertify as a “Certified City of Ethics” and if approved accept recognition from the Georgia Municipal Association.
The Columbus Consolidated Government first applied in December 2000 to become a Certified City of Ethics and was awarded the designation January 2001 and again in 2017. To remain certified, cities must recertify as a Georgia Certified City of Ethics. The purpose of this requirement is to make sure that the importance of ethical conduct in public service and the requirements of the city’s ethics ordinance are brought to the attention of newly elected officials and regularly reinforced for incumbent officials. Additionally, recertification will provide the GMA Ethics Certification Committee with an opportunity to ensure that any changes to the city’s ordinance since the original certification preserve the key element necessary for participation in the program.
Approval is requested to apply for recertification and, if approved, accept recognition from the Georgia Municipal Association as a “Certified City of Ethics”. The governing subscribes to the following ethics principles and pledges to conduct its affairs accordingly:
• Serve others not ourselves.
• Use resources with efficiency and economy.
• Treat all people fairly.
• Use the power of our position for the well-being of our constituents.
• Create an environment of honesty, openness and integrity."
-- Wait a minute.. the first Forensic Audit completed showed ethics violations, and no application should be applied for to be certified as "ethical" until all the Forensic Audits are complete, and all discrepancies have been addressed AND accounted for..

I understand that Broward County Board of Elections is separating the first page from the ballots in order to speed up a recount. Boy does this reek if fraud potential. The whole ballot should be counted in order to have a reference point to how down ballot races come out compared to the original count. By removing the down ballot pages, it becomes much easier to slip in fraud ballots to replace the original ballot.

What Michelle Obama PROBABLY didn't address in her book (like the Pulitzer Award winner, I haven't read it either.. and will not do so in the future) is that her husband is TOTALLY responsible for Trump now being our President. It was at the 2011 White House Correspondence Dinner.. President Obama took the podium, and spent nearly 5 minutes taunting and eviscerating dinner guest Donald Trump in front of the world and God Himself, over Trump's comments about the authenticity of Obama's birth certificate.. (too be honest, I've never seen a Trump tweet that was as vicious about an individual as President Obama's attack was on Trump). You could almost see the "wheels turning" in Trump's head about being the next president.. There wasn't time to start from scratch and win in 2012, but 2016 was a different story.

From the "even liberals should cringe at JUST the thought of this" department -M/C L-E headline/story: "Tiny homes might make their way into Historic District * At a cost of $200-$300 a square foot, a 400-square-foot house could cost $80,000 to $120,000. " -- Can you not see Mayor Tom-LYING-son's Tyler Technologies software seeing a $120,000.00 "400 sq ft tiny building" next to a $300,000 dollar 2,500 square foot home, and "decide" the 2,500 square ft home be FMV'd at $750,000.00 because the square ft evaluation should be the same? Oh, and heaven forbid Tyler Technologies' software picks up on a homeowner adding a backyard wooden storage shed or doll house, and adding the tax costs at $300.00 a square ft. Oh, and ask Mark Cantrell if those $10,000.00 storage building could be bought and and converted to a "tiny home" for another $10-$15,000. and sold for $100,000.00 plus in the Historic District.

And excuse me... but what "tiny home" buyer.. especially one who would rent such out, is going to spend $200/$300 a square foot on such property?.. In fact... how DOES one spend $200/$300 a square foot on such?
