Today is December 7... a day of infamy from 1941.. but.. as adversity so often is, a catalyst for the rebirth of American resolve and strength, and the catapult of our Greatest Generation! Take a moment of silence...

From the "You have to love it when Hollywood eats its own" department - Online story: "Just two days after being named host of the Academy Awards, Kevin Hart stepped down following an outcry over past homophobic tweets by the comedian." -- And to think Kevin Hart ruled his world when he trashed Trump at the VMA 4 months ago...

I honestly believe Trump will get more done the next two years BECAUSE Democrats won the majority of the House.. and now even Pelosi will have to get things done for Trump that she wouldn't consider when Republicans were in the Majority. Think about it...her "reputation" is more on the line, and she has to show she can "produce", because there will be no "veto override" option for her. And it won't be bi-partisan... it'll be survival...she'll have to give Trump what he wants to get anything she wants.

 

---
Look back at Clinton's terms.. when the Dems were the majority, little got done, but after Newt Gingrich became Speaker, great strides in welfare reform "happened", and Clinton looked good and got re-elected in '96.

From the "if you can't give facts. dazzle'em with BS!" department - Online story: " U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller will provide new details on Friday on how two of President Donald Trump's closest former aides have helped or hindered his investigation into possible collusion between Russia and Trump's 2016 election campaign." Of course, Mueller considers not being able to say things he wants them to say.. whether the truth or not... is a "hindrance", but the reason he's doing it today is to give Democrat-led Sunday Talk Shows some "fodder" to chew and promote as the truth before Monday.

You know, leftist "economists" are going to blame growth of the "Trade gap" on Trump's tariff's, but two things... called FACTS... will undermine such an implication.. First.. American companies are buying huge amounts of Chinese goods BEFORE they are "tariffed", and secondly, China has bought less soy beans.. China buying less soy beams NOW means the Chinese people will have less to eat/use of a much needed staple China cannot produce enough of, so China will have to "cave: in order to keep its citizens in line..

CNN headline/story: "Elizabeth Warren's Native-American heritage reveal was just as bad as you thought it was * Wrote Astead W. Herndon in The New York Times on Thursday:
"Advisers close to Ms. Warren say she has privately expressed concern that she may have damaged her relationships to Native American groups and her own standing with activists, particularly those who are racial minorities. Several outside advisers are even more worried: They say they believe a plan should be made to repair that damage, possibly including a strong statement of apology."" -- Well, what we now have to wait on is whether Harvard will rescind her professorship they gave her based on the advantage she claimed by being from Native American minority.. I believe Harvard should go after her career earnings she was paid after lying on her resume`.

Online headline/story: "Kamala Harris aide resigns over $400G harassment settlement * A senior adviser to U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., resigned Wednesday over inquiries about a $400,000 harassment lawsuit against him while working at the California Department of Justice." -- working for him"? What's missing is that he was WORKING FOR HER when she was the Attorney General in California..Now, what I want to know is .. WHO PAID THE $400,000.00?

 

---
Wow.. Sen Gillibrand, D-NY, must really be trying to curse herself... she sent out a tweet Wednesday that she already regrets: Gillibrand tweeted: "Our future is: Female. Intersectional. Powered by our belief in one another. And we’re just getting started". Donald Trump. Jr... and Marco Rubio ate her lunch in response: Trump, Jr said: "Good to know. My girls will be excited about this. When is it appropriate to let my boys (9, 7 and 6 years old) that there’s no future for them? Not sure this is a winning platform but you be you." and Rubio responded: "“Our future is: AMERICAN. An identity based not on gender,race,ethnicity or religion. But on the powerful truth that all people are created equal with a God given right to life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness,”" Looks like Gillibrand, Pocahontas-NOT, and Kamala Harris have already hoisted their 2020 aspirations on their own petards.

From the "why the death sentence isn't the deterrent it SHOULD be" department - Online story: "A convicted killer who spent more than 36 years on death row in Tennessee was executed by electric chair on Thursday, the second time in five weeks that the state used electrocution to carry out a death sentence. * David Miller, 61, was pronounced dead at 7:25 p.m. CST at the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville * Miller, convicted of first-degree murder for the 1981 killing of a 23-year-old woman * had been on death row since March 1982." -- The other recent death sentence carried out was for a man convicted of a brutal double murder in 1983... Think about what has gone on in the last 35 & 36 years since the monsters killed these people.. the so-wronged parents have suffered unnecessarily and then died before seeing justice.. Death sentences need to be carried out immediately. but in no circumstance other than a US Supreme Court "hold" should sentences not be carried our within a 2 year time frame.

M/C L-E headline/story: "Three Columbus-area employers are laying off 566 (possible error.. individual figures add up to 556) workers combined during the holidays * Georgia-Pacific Wood Products LLC is laying off 321 employees at its plywood plant in Warm Springs, Ga. * 83 workers with XPO Logistics in the Midland area of Columbus are being cut as of Dec. 31, according to the state, while Aptim Federal Services is laying off 152 staffers at Fort Benning on Jan. 1." -- Technically, the 321 in Warm Springs aren't directly in Columbus, but close enough to effect our economy. but the 231 in Columbus will directly effect our retail, restaurant, and housing markets...The most grievous loss is those of XPO Logistics... it appears XPO Logistics is a casualty of NCR leaving Columbus... but who can blame NCR when a major bank in Columbus SNUBBED their TM machines and bought ones from Germany. Wow... between this and the robbing/stabbing of a local Fish House Gang member, Mayor Tom-LYING-son's "legacy" continues to falter..

 

---
Oh! Did you even know the Fish House Gang was still in existence? It just came back to public scrutiny following an attack following a meeting at RoseHill seafood. As I recall, "membership" was purely dependent on an invitation by a Democrat known as 'the hanging judge'.. Of course he died 7 years ago, so who's calling the shots now? And does the Democrat voting base realize it's still in existence?

 

---
Well, it looks like evidence has been turned over to the House concerning the mismanagement.. and probable (not rushing to judgment like MSM-13 does) scandals involving the Clintons' multiple Foundations. Unfortunately, this will get buried in January as Democrats become Committee chairpersons.

From the "fantasy world of Dem-make-believe" department - Another CNN headline/story: "Latest House results confirm 2018 wasn't a blue wave. It was a blue tsunami. * Let's start in the seat count. Republican Rep. David Valadao of California's 21st District conceded on Thursday to Democrat T.J. Cox. * Cox's victory combined with other election results means that Democrats have picked up a net gain of 40 seats. * As has oft been repeated, this is the largest Democratic House gain since 1974. It's a larger gain than Democrats had in the wave elections of both 1982 and 2006." -- "as has oft been reported"? This is how MSM-13 tries to make fantasy seem like reality... lie often and loudly enough until it's believed to be the truth... The truth is that the 2016 midterm power switch pales when compared to the 2010 midterm power switch when Republicans gained 66 House Seats and 6 Senate seats.. and in this cycle, the Senate actually GAINED 2 Republicans.. and as to the "popular vote" claims the Dems and MSM-13 cite, once you separate the 5 most uber-lib states (CA, NY, IL, NJ, and MA), the other 45 states actually gave a popular vote lead to House Republicans.

Interesting..The train carrying the late President George H.W. Bush traveled unharassed to its final destination as opposed to the sabotage/assassination attempt aimed at the Republican filled train in West Virginia following Trump's SOTU speech.

 

---
Online headline: "California church’s untouched wooden cross becomes symbol of hope in wildfire aftermath" -- Wow... and coup[led with the US Flag that survived virtually damage free at another burned out homesite, I can see a "sign" that California should get it's act together and "consider its ways" as it has abandoned belief in God and respect for America.

 

---
Online headline: "Lawmakers demand probe of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's 'sweetheart deal' * Lawmakers want to know why the Department of Justice agreed to allow a light sentence for "this monster."" -- Well, as Mr Rogers might have asked, "Well, boys and girls, can you say "Bill Clinton"?

 

---
HuffPOOPOO extra POOPOO headline: "Every President Recited The Apostles’ Creed Except Trump, And People Definitely Noticed" -- Good grief...The Apostle's Creed is not a ritualistic recitation in all religions...I learned it when I was a Methodist, but it not part of my Baptist program.

 

---
It amazes me.. well, actually confuses me more... that the Democrats.. why the "Progressive Party" is so against capitalism and individual freedoms that are instrumental FOR "progress".

 

---
In today's M/C L-E, there's a photo of 6 Northside High School athletes who have signed scholarships with various colleges. Behind them is a banner promoting Northside and ADIDAS..... Excuse me... but why is Adidas being promoted so blatantly? If there has been any money exchanged for such promotion, the MCSB should make sure it is handed over to the MCSD.. otherwise, the banner should destroyed.. at least it wasn't another Nike situation as we had with the City's Parks and Rec Director...

 

---
M/C L-E headline: "C-SPAN partners with Mediacom to bring educational, interactive bus to Columbus" -- Just another item of misinformation our students are bombarded with... on the front of the bus is a caption: "50 Capital Tour". Our kids will come off believing Columbus is the capital of Georgia... at least the bus isn't touting a "57 States Tour" as a former president once proclaimed.

M/C L-E headline/story: "Man and woman accused of dumping body at cemetery, Columbus police say * Lewis said the woman was a good friend of his. He said on the night of March 3 they ended up at a house party with drugs and she became ill in a back bedroom. The two then went to Roach’s home at 770 Black Oak Drive, where Lewis paid $50 to rent a bedroom where they could drink alcohol and use drugs. * Roach and Lewis told police they didn’t kill Chambers. Warrants were issued a week ago before both were taken into custody Wednesday. * Alfonza Whitaker, who represented Lewis, said his client cooperated with police. “Actions of the defendant didn’t cause the death,” he said." -- Excuse me.. but since when is contributing to the death of another NOT MURDER?

After looking at the MCSD "SPLOST" report in the L-E, this should enough to discourage every non-school employee from voting "yes" on another SPLOST referendum in the future. Wonder if anybody in the MCSD even noticed they were publishing this on one of the two worst disaster days in American history?
