From the "MSM-13 rush to judgment" department - Wow! the conflictory statements by Judge Emmet Sullivan were "bombshells".. MSM-13 has chosen to jump at the phrase Flynn "sold your country out" from Sullivan's statement - “Arguably, you sold your country out,” the judge said. “I cannot assure you if we proceed today you will not receive a sentence of incarceration. I cannot hide my disgust, my disdain for this criminal offense.” - and ignore the "arguably" start, then ignore the key statement about Sullivan 'not ever sentencing an innocent man'. I do believe Judge Sullivan saw through Flynn's "admissions" of guilt as fear that there was something hanging over Flynn's head if he said anything contrary to what Mueller wanted. There's a lot more to come in the next 90 days.

From the "2019-2020 Senate becomes most important ever": department - Online story: "Senate overwhelmingly passes criminal justice overhaul * The Senate passed a sweeping criminal justice bill Tuesday that addresses concerns that the nation's war on drugs had led to the imprisonment of too many Americans for non-violent crimes without adequately preparing them for their return to society. * The bill gives judges more discretion when sentencing some drug offenders " -- "gives judges more discretion"? Whew! Thank goodness the Senate is stronger in Republicans than in the past few years.. and more conservative judges appointed by Trump will get confirmed.

From the "ding dong the witch is dead" department - Online headline: "The Clinton’s Resort To Groupon Due To Poor Ticket Sales, Tour Tickets Now Half Price or Less" -- Pretty soon they'll be available at Publix as a "BOGO - Buy One Get One" promotion.

There's no way America should be satisfied over a 10 year, $25-Billion dollar plan suggested by Democrats and RINOs. Illegal aliens costs are running currently at $130-Billion, and if that figure was static, we're talking $1.3 TRILLION dollars in funding illegal alien programs BEFORE we get the border secure. Think about this..we spend $25 Billion this year and over the next 10 years, $1.275 TRILLION tax dollars would stay in our pockets and our local economies.

We bought these Christmas lights at Sams (their private label), 10 days ago and here's a picture showing 5 sections failing.. there are two others I couldn't get in the picture.. I may have to re-evaluate my confidence in Sam's non-branded offerings..

 

--------------------------------------
Speaking of pictures.. Remember when Wells Fargo on 13th Street downtown was reproached by the "sign police" because of having two signs viewable from the same side.? Well, take a look at the "view" of signs view-able from 9th Street alone.. Two Mariott signs and 6.. yes 6, "Houlihans" signs.. and this doesn't count the ones on the entrance doors.

Probably the saddest aspect about MSM-13 fake news is that they all repeat it so much they end up believing it was the truth the first time they published it.

Hey.. forgot to mention Monday,, but do you suppose Council has awakened to the fact that GA DOT and Columbus do NOT need to spend $200,000.00 studying why the J.R. Allen Parkway gets jammed up going into Phenix City? From the west side of the bridge, it's ALABAMA's problem to solve!

 

You know.. if Alabama wants more.. better,, access to/from Georgia, maybe Alabama should offer to pay for the extra bridges.

When you parse the matter, MSM-13 and the establishment Democrats/RINOs are afraid of Trump.. not that he'll fail, but because he'll be successful at eliminating the problems that hold America back from returning to greatness.

From the "anachronism in action" department - M/C L-E headline/story: "Woman is captured following gunshots, blaze during five-hour standoff * As more smoke came from the house at 3:25 p.m., the negotiator’s voice got more strident: “Come on, Rhonda! You need to get out!” * The negotiator continued to plead as authorities moved in: “Come on, Rhonda! You need to get out! ... Come on sweetheart. * Come on out, honey. Come on out. We hear you. We know you’re OK.” -- ""sweetheart"? "honey"?.. While I'm glad.. grateful.. that the matter was solved without any injuries.. especially to our police and fired department.. I do wonder who trained the "negotiator"... "Flo" at Mel's Diner?

M/C L-E guest commentary headline/opening paragraph: "Democrats must look forward, not reach back * BY JAY BOOKMAN Atlanta Journal-Constitution * John Kerry has been a superb public servant, beginning with his heroic service in Vietnam and extending through a 28-year career in the Senate and a productive four-year stint as secretary of state. He is as qualified as anyone in U.S. history to serve as president of the United States." -- "his heroic service in Vietnam"? Good grief.. I guess Bookman read the rewrite of Kerry's history..as I remember, Kerry got sent back because he received 3 minor wounds which was an "automatic ticket" home.. it was suspected, due to the minor nature of some, that they wounds may have been "self-induced".. and then there was the "famous" photo of him tossing his "Purple Hearts" over the fence at the White House.. yet later we discover he still had them. And the same guy that ordered a new yacht.. then moored it in RI or CT for 6 months so he could avoid the huge taxes MA had on new yachts if he'd first registered them in MA.

M/C L-E story: "Some advertisers say they are leaving conservative host Tucker Carlson’s show following his remarks that immigrants could make the U.S. “poorer and dirtier.”" -- First. Carlson didn't say "immigrants make us "poorer and dirtier", but his own political correctness made him say "illegal immigrants" instead of "illegal aliens". Good grief.. Bowflex is one.. and it's about a genuine move as .. heck.. there's nothing genuine about Bowflex's move.. Christmas is upon us now, and Bowflex was winding down it's advertising program anyway..
