From the "Dr. Spock... you ruined our nation!" department - Online headline/story: "Border chief directly contradicts Trump on Central America * Trump tweeted, "“Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador are doing nothing for the United States but taking our money,” * “Word is that a new Caravan is forming in Honduras and they are doing nothing about it. We will be cutting off all aid to these 3 countries - taking advantage of U.S. for years!” * McAleenan said, “The need is for an accountable partner on the part of the Guatemalan, Honduran and El Salvadorian governments,” * “When we work together, with well-targeted programs and really targeting them at areas where we’re seeing migration like the Western Highlands of Guatemala where there’s a real poverty and hunger crisis — it’s one of the most food insecure regions in the hemisphere, huge rates of malnutrition.” -- Good grief! When America believed Dr Spock about not spanking "children" has to be the core of LIBERALISM, and liberals have taken it to new heights!

From the "Animal Farm - 2018" department - Online headline.story: "Washington (State) residents "are very excited about the prospect of becoming a tree or having a different alternative,” state Sen. Jamie Pedersen said. * When Americans die, most are buried or cremated. Washington could soon become the first state to allow another option: human composting. * The novel approach, known as “recomposition,” involves placing bodies in a vessel and hastening their decomposition into a nutrient-dense soil that can then be returned to families." -- Good grief.. sounds like something Hitler would have been involved with! ...and what kind of "vessel" does the State Sen imagine... a 55 gallon steel drum? If burial cost issues are a reason for suggesting this then families could just "box: the body up, leave it on heir front steps, and let "porch pirates" steal it..
 
---
Online headline: "Malware attack disrupts delivery of L.A. Times and Tribune papers across the U.S. -- Of course, the general public didn't even notice.
 
---
I have seen so many ads by Rabbi Eckstein, and now he's added his daughter to the tear-jerking ads about Israeli and Russian survivors of the holocaust, that I decided to check him out...He keeps asking for $25.00 to give food to a starving Jewish holocaust survivor, but it sounds like he wants his money first...he takes over a million dollars (about 40,000 $25.00 donations) for himself, and I'm sure his Vice-President daughter earns quite a chunk herself. And no telling how many donations are diverted from donors to pay for the ad campaign to raise more $25.00 donations.
 
---
From the " MLK 'Dream' killer" department - Online story: "Organizers of a Women’s March rally slated for Northern California next month have canceled the event, saying they were concerned that participants would have been “overwhelmingly white." * In a news release, organizers for the march in Eureka – about 270 miles north of San Francisco – said Friday the "decision was made after many conversations between local social-change organizers and supporters of the march.” -- To boot, the rally was scheduled for January 19th.. that's MLK Day..and wasn't his "dream" that we'd become a nation where the color of one's skin would not matter? I guess California doesn't want to be part of our nation.
 
---
Franklin Graham...yes, Billy Graham's son, got banned/blocked by Facebook after being reported for "hate speech"... I feel honored to be in such esteemed company. Oh.. Graham won his "appeal", too.
 
---
Rudy Giuliani hit the nail on the head! Giuliani said the he'd figured out what Peter Strzok's "insurance" was to keep the FBI "coven" out of trouble.. It was/is Robert Mueller...
 
---
One other thought about putting 19 year old non-citizens in our public high school system as freshmen amid 14 year olds...where are the #MeToo women protesting this move?
 
---
Hey Columbus Council... how about making sure Mayor Tom-LYING-son "presents" the City with the "The KEY to the Queen TT Lounge".. Heck.. one of you might need to use it one day..
 
---
Did you see the National Anthem at the Cotton Bowl? A Bald Eagle flying around the arena landed on the shoulder of a Notre Dame fan. Glad it wasn't in San Francisco...Nike would have blown a gasket that the eagle's "swoop" landed on the shoulder of a patriot standing for our National Anthem rather than Nike's "swoop" landing on KaeperPRICK kneeling for it.
 
---
Hey, Sen Feinstein...any comment about the illegal alien child who grew up, crossed out border illegally, was caught twice before on DUI charges without being deported, and later kills an American citizen police officer?
 
---
Duke University is now paying students to take a "gap year" before starting their secondary education. Good grief! Duke must have figured out how to charge the $15,000.00 to the students' loans they'll have when they finish... or not continue school.
 
---
From the "Bias? What bias?" department - Online headline: "Chelsea Clinton slams congressman's comments to Fox News about 'only 2' migrant children dying: 'For shame'" -Good grief! Chelsea Clinton should be "ripping new ones" for Pelosi, Schumer, ...and her parents.. for not supporting a proper border wall that would discourage people from dragging their children 2,000 miles with false hopes... Of course, Chelsea's biggest problem would be finding a new place on them where she COULD "rip them a new one".
 
---
One thing a lot of people may have not noticed in the Clemson rout of Notre Dame was one of the signal boards Used by Clemson to call plays/formations was a Starbucks Coffee logo. Wanna bet uber-lib Starbucks' Chairman Howard Schultz sends Clemson a "cease and desist" order not to use his logo?
 
---
After Clemson dominated Notre Dame maybe the Coach Brian Kelly of Notre Dame should return his Coach of the Year award.
 
---
Purdue, Michigan, and Notre Dame got what we in the South refer to as a "arse-whupping"! Maybe the college ranking organizations should limit these non-Southern schools to the Second 10 and higher category!
 
---
From the "as predicted" department - Online headline/story: "House probe of FBI-DOJ's alleged anti-Trump, pro-Clinton bias hits unceremonious end -- with no report * Two Republicans chairing the committees – Reps. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., and Robert Goodlatte, R-Va. – said in a letter Friday that the DOJ must appoint a special counsel to investigate the “seemingly disparate treatment” of the investigations into Clinton’s use of private emails and Trump’s alleged ties to Russia." -- Good grief! Giving Hellary martyrdom would have resulted, but now MSM-13 and the Democrats will "feel" they have no limitations on what they can do to eviscerate Trump and conservative Republicans!
 
---
From the "Bias? What bias?" department - Online headline: "Media sneer at Melania Trump’s fashion choices, fawn over Michelle Obama’s " -- MSM-13 just has no concept of what real style actually is.
 
---
From the "good grief, her again!" department - Online headline: "Ocasio-Cortez, progressives express disappointment with climate panel" -- The only real threat to the world's climate issues is the excessive verbosity of the hot air that Democrats believe is causing the melting of glaciers and Saturn's rings.
 
---
From the "real legacy of the last-days-of-Mayor-Tom-LYING-son" department - M/C L-E headline/story: "Here are ‘best of the rest’ business and development stories for area in 2018 * "NEARLY 600 PEOPLE LOSING JOBS AT THREE AREA COMPANIES" * "47,000 PEOPLE IN REGION NEED HELP TO FEED THEMSELVES" * TOYS R US JOINS SEARS AND HHGREGG IN CLOSING ITS DOORS (and don't forget K-mart)" * "KIDDIE SHOPPE CLOSES ITS DOORS AFTER DECADES-LONG RUN" -- Then add other "slams" such as "Great Wolf Lodge" picking LaGrange , making a big issue out of a BBQ restaurant taking over failed restaurant 'Logan's Road House" location, and a convenience store opening up on Whittlesey near Columbus Park Crossing, and treating them as "great Columbus news".
 
---
Oh.. and don't let Sheriff Tompkins' words slip away into obscurity... remember when she recently said that 2/3rds of the jail prisoners were gang affiliated? Remember when Mayor Tom-LYING-son said we don't have a "gang problem"?
 
---
M/C L-E headline: "Trump blames Democrats for migrant child deaths" -- and he's RIGHT! And Chelsea Clinton should be "ripping new ones" for Pelosi, Schumer, ...and her parents.. for not supporting a proper border wall that would discourage people from dragging their children 2,000 miles with false hopes... Of course, Chelsea's biggest problem would be finding a new place on them where she COULD "rip them a new one".
 
---
From the "hypocrisy rising to new heights" department - M/C L-E Leonard 'the" Pitts babblings: "The year we lost ourselves * Like Sen. John McCain and former President George H.W. Bush, two towering statesmen who died at a time when statesmanship is in short supply." -- Good grief.. can "the Pitts" produce one reference where he exclaimed the statesmanship of Bush41 or McCain when they were Presidential candidates?
 
---
From the "poetic justice" department - Well, "prominent" organizations picked the "Coach of the Year" and the "Heisman Award Winner"... and neither will be at the Championship football game next Monday. Obviously, the level of play in the South far exceeds the comprehension of National organizations.
 
---
From the "whatta they thinking" department?" - M/C L-E story: "The Trump administration is expected to take steps to block a historic agreement that would allow Cuban players to join Major League Baseball teams without having to defect, according to an official familiar with the discussions. * The administration wants to reverse an Obama-era ruling that says the Cuban government doesn’t run the island’s professional baseball league. Such a position gave MLB space to negotiate and reach the deal with Cuban baseball and circumvent the U.S. embargo against Cuba.": -- Yeah, and the FBI and/or Treasury Department should raid all of the Obama/Clinton abodes and confiscate all their Cuban cigars!
 
---
From the "why is anything she says considered news?" department - Online headline: "Ocasio-Cortez slams GOP and Trump over shutdown: 'This isn't how you treat people'" -- Hmmm... and neither is exposing American citizens to dangerous animals! This "Democrat" has risen to prominence because Democrats and MSM-13 could care less about our nation's security and even the Democrat voter base wanted change from the usual Democrat Party agenda and lies.
 
---
From the "Bias? What bias?" department - Online headline/story: "House leader: Democrats won't seat candidate in unresolved race * incoming U.S. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer issued a statement saying House Democrats won't allow Republican Mark Harris to be sworn in next week because of the ongoing investigation." -- Hmmm... yet Steny Hoyer WILL swear in Maine's questionably "elected" Democrat Representative even though Maine's election process is being challenged constitutionally...
 
---
Online headline/story: "Utah gears up to implement nation's lowest DUI limit * The 0.05 percent limit goes into effect Sunday, despite protests that it will punish responsible drinkers and hurt the state's tourism industry * For Utah lawmakers, the change is a safety measure aimed at encouraging people not to drive at all if they've been drinking." -- Hmmm... maybe a new campaign slogan should be.. "Not only DRIVE responsibly, but LEGISLATE responsibly. too!". Now, church goers participating in Communion rituals could be picked up driving out of their church's parking lot.
 
---
Wow! Who was that team dressed in the Auburn uniforms.. Purdue was really "shut down"!! On the other hand, Ohio State's loss to Purdue certainly quells any claim that Ohio State deserved to be in the Top 4 teams... Top 10, even..
 
---
Speaking of "shut downs", Br'er Trump got Br'er Schumer to "throw him into the brier patch" .. and Schumer still doesn't recognize that he's painted himself into a
"steel walled" corner.. that Trump DESIGNED!. If Trump only gets $1.00 in additional "wall funds", Schumer will look like the "name" that's "scrambled" within the letters of his name to the Dems and Dems' voter base... "He R Scum", and if he doesn't "negotiate", he will be blamed for the shut down AND for crimes committed by illegal aliens.

Thursday night, I caught the last 20 minutes of a movie I really liked.."Remember the Titans"...and I looked up the characters to learn more about the real characters. What I learned also was the use of 'poetic licensing' by the director/script writer was full of bogus incitements of racial unrest that did not happen. Shame on Hollywood for encouraging division by making up plot lines that discourage real healing...they did it to "Glory Road" as well... I remembered that season so well as I was at Mississippi State, and got to see Kentucky's "Rupp's Runts" who lost the championship game to the U. Texas El Paso "Cinderella" team. I saw movie scenes that nauseated me, and then learned the writer/director made them up as in incendiary moments to rouse racial issues. Shame on Hollywood!
 
---
Online headline: "Miami Dolphins' Robert Quinn complains about lack of coverage for his protest during national anthem" -- Good grief! Then escort him to the fast lane of the nearest Interstate and let h in m kneel down in front of rush hour traffic!
 
---
As we end 2018, I think one last fact should be open for discussion...the gone-tomorrow Mayor Tom-LYING-son goes out at age 53, yet she feels a 47 year old Government Center is .. should be considered ... obsolete... the house she owns is older than that, but it remains viable because she's maintained it properly. What's her excuse for not doing so with the property the citizens entrusted her to take care of?
 
---
I read where 19 year old immigrants were being enrolled in public high schools as freshmen... think about that...not only do you have 19 year olds socially interacting with 14 year olds, but if normal progression occurs, in 3 more years, when the immigrants are "seniors", there will be 22 year olds mingling with 14 year olds. This is not a solution nor acceptable.

Online story: "the Atlanta-Region Transit Link Authority (“the ATL” for short) hopes to create a seamless transit system from the alphabet soup of agencies that provide service across 13 counties. * the Atlanta-Region Transit Link Authority (“the ATL” for short) hopes to create a seamless transit system from the alphabet soup of agencies that provide service across 13 counties. * The ATL will pay Jackson-Spalding $590,000 over a year to develop the logo and for branding and related work. A representative of the company explained the logo in a presentation to board members: *The shapes that form the “star” in the logo are a series of “A’s” – or arrows – that spiral around a central axis, “symbolizing the freedom of movement provided to the region.” -- $590,000.00? You know, considering the scale of the Atlanta area to Columbus, that's still cheaper per person than the "We Do Amazing" slogan Columbus taxpayers were stuck with a $97,000.00 bill. Of course, Tom-LYING-son, Council, and the Chamber missed the opportunity to recoup our loss but subletting Atlanta the rights to use a variation of ours... "Atlantes Does More Amazing than Columbus".

M/C L-E headline/story: "Man charged in elderly Columbus couple’s deadly assault could be released on $400,000 bonds * A judge has set bonds for the mentally ill man accused of randomly attacking an elderly Columbus couple in late September – punching the 89-year-old wife unconscious and fatally stabbing her 90-year-old husband before fighting a 69-year-old neighbor outside their Victoria Drive home. * Darius Jamar Travick, 27, is charged with murder and two counts of aggravated assault in the Sept. 24 death of John Dawson, the attack on Dawson’s wife, and the assault on the neighbor. * View on page
Man charged in elderly Columbus couple’s deadly assault could be released on $400,000 bonds * Because Travick has been jailed 90 days without being indicted, he is entitled to a bond under Georgia law." -- Good grief.. "jury fails" pale in comparison to this failure.. not only has our Prosecutorial system failed, but so has our Legislative system. Even the L-E states the man is "mentally ill" without tying "allegedly" to it... All I can say now is the judge better set bond so high even Bill Gates couldn't afford it!
 
---
HuffPOOPOO headline/story: "In a celebration of press freedom, several prominent journalists will launch the Times Square ball drop as New Yorkers ring in the New Year on Monday night. * In a Friday press release, the Times Square Alliance and Countdown Entertainment, both organizers of the bash, announced that “the group will appear on stage with the Committee to Protect Journalists just before midnight to push the crystal button that signals the lowering of the Waterford Crystal Times Square New Year’s Eve Ball.” -- Hmmm... aside from the self-gratifying display of biased journalism,.. rumor has it the "ball" will land on a Trump effigy dressed in diapers representing the "new Year "baby".
 
---
M/C L-E headline: "Idle equipment and Beaver Run Road among top Inquirers of 2018" -- Hmmm... so "idle equipment" on Farr Road was a "big" story for Columbus... You know, I was not nearly as concerned about that equipment being "idle" as I am about how "idle" all the equipment is usually is on the River Road Roundabout site.. I drive by and think it may be some sort of "used equipment" sales lot.
 
---
It's "not Columbus, but it is a M/C L-E headline/story: "Alabama releases schools’ letter grades * Most Alabama public school systems received a letter grade of B or C, under new school report cards released Friday by the Alabama Department of Public Education. * The letter grades were an improvement over those released for the previous school year. The state overall was given a letter grade of B. Most school systems received a grade of B or C. Fifteen school systems received a grade of A. Ten school systems received a D. No school system received an F." -- You know... without a "standard" that defines "failure", no grading system can set the "standard" for passing marks..

For those boycotting the NFL like me: NFL recap for 2018: Only 15 teams had a "winning record", and 5 teams won only 4 (or less) games.
 
---
Hey Mayor Tom-LYING-son... Tom Bodett tweeted to say that Columbus was not going to "leave the light on for you".

Oh! Remember a few months ago I showed a picture of the 11 pothole repairs made to a 1/10th mile stretch on Cloverdale between Whitesville and Mobley Roads.. This is what one area of that section looked like yesterday:
