Under the 'Green New Deal' proposal drafted by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Americans would have to power their homes with renewable energy, such as wind and solar power. Every home and business in the United States would have to be “upgraded” for “state-of-the-art energy efficiency, comfort and safety.” -- Hmmm, and I heard a rumor that indoor sports arenas would be air-conditioned by all fans wearing propeller-topped beanies...

I learned growing up is that the best way to shut some people up is to make them back up what they say/believe with action...You know, if Schumer and Pelosi are so sure that 'the Wall' won't work, why are they so dead set in letting Trump build it? If it was a failure, Dems could wield it like a battle ax in future elections.

Online story: ":House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats unveiled a bill Friday that would immediately restore voting rights to convicted felons nationwide." -- Good grief.. this is an individual state's issue.. and should stay that way!
 
---
Online story: "Buried in the concluding paragraphs of a Christmas Eve Washington Times report about Muslims in Uganda forcing Christians to convert to Islam was the extraordinary revelation that in that country, Muslims now consider any public statement of the Christian Faith to be a calculated insult to Muslims, for which they can justifiably exact revenge." -- And after listening to the Islamic Democrats elected to Congress, it sounds like the movement had arrived here in the US already!

Online story: "Back in 2010, 68 percent of young people, 18-29 years old, said they approved of capitalism, while 51 percent said they approved of socialism, according to Gallup. Fast-forward to August 2018, and that same age group backs socialism over capitalism, 51 percent to 45 percent. * Democrats, meanwhile, were evenly split between capitalism and socialism back in 2010. But now, 57 percent say they hold a positive view of socialism, compared with just 47 percent who say the same for capitalism." -- Good grief.. This is the effect of the Obama presidency.. Now, my question is, why do these polled want to stay here as Trump changes America's direction back to Greatness.. Again, when they can move to Venezuela and other socialist countries that are at the "top" of their plan?

From the "it's his real legacy.. what else can he say?" department - Online headline: "Jerry Brown: Ronil Singh’s Death Had ‘Nothing to Do’ with Sanctuary Laws" -- How will this man ever get another good night's sleep when he has the deaths of Kate Steinle and Officer Ronil Singh in his mind 24/7...

Writer's note: To better illuminate the absurdity of "gender picking convenience", all references to depicting people's own personal gender identification shall be "M?" versus "Mr., Mrs., or Ms".
 
Online story: "Jennifer Wexton(VA10) was sworn into Congress. * It is typical for members of Congress to display three flags, the American flag, their state flag, and the POW/MIA flag. Jennifer Wexton replaced the last flag with a transgender flag." -- Good grief! It sounds more like M? Wexton is even more confused about her citizenship and patriotism.
 
---
From the "Superman as we remember.. truth justice and the American way!" department - Online headline/story: "US Military Kills Leader of USS Cole Terror Attack, Trump Says * The U.S. armed forces have killed Jamal al-Badawi, the man who led the deadly terrorist attack in 2000 on the USS Cole, according to President Donald Trump. * The U.S. military said Jan. 4 that it carried out a strike in Yemen targeting al-Badawi, but the results were still being assessed at the time. Trump wrote on Twitter on Jan. 6 that al-Badawi was killed. * “Our GREAT MILITARY has delivered justice for the heroes lost and wounded in the cowardly attack on the USS Cole,” Trump wrote on Twitter. * “We have just killed the leader of that attack, Jamal al-Badawi. Our work against al Qaeda continues. We will never stop in our fight against Radical Islamic Terrorism!” -- America is BACK!

Someone please directly ask Schumer and Pelosi is it about spending money the border for all American's safety, or is it about them wanting to decide what programs to waste the money on?
 
---
Railroad Companies should be good neighbors...they get a lot of community privileges. .. It's bad enough we have tracks crossing some major arteries that are horrible, but driving by the rail beds along Veterans Parkway and River Road we see miles of eyesores...left behind rail materials and street trash dominate the areas.
 
---
There's always evidence of activity at the River Road Roundabout site... but the most consistent is by a non-road-crew group. The unknowns dressed the port-a-potty for Halloween, for Thanksgiving, and for Christmas, and now it's decked out for 2019.. thought the actual road workers haven't been out there to see it, they will be welcomed today with decorations that say, "Happy Pee-uuuu Year!"
 
---
Pelosi will control Congressional responses ( standing, clapping, cheering) when Trump gives his State of the Union speech this month, yet when asked about the Islamic Democrat Congresswoman's foul-mouth tirade against President Trump, she stammered that she doesn't control her speech.....well, Queen Pelosi, you can't have control without taking responsibility for all of it.
 
---
Nobody should be able to run and be elected to Congress that doesn't have a financial degree with a MBA advanced degree! The first thing Democrats want to do is raise taxes on the wealthy. That's exactly what Clinton and Obama did and big money moved overseas. Trump has brought billions back that are now driving job and wage growth here in America. Do we see a pattern of ignorance about how to Make America Great Again?
 
---
Trump says it should be easy for Democrats to work with him on border/wall security. Trump says that the only people AGAINST building a wall are illegal aliens/criminals/terrorists, drug dealers, and sex traffickers.. Ooops! Guess MSM-13 will claim Trump is now calling the Democrat leaders a part of some or all those groups.
 
---
Have we gotten the final number of families that dropped ObamaCRAP after the mandatory "fine"(read tax) was voided by the court system?
 
---
So Elizabeth Warren has gone to Sioux City, Iowa to campaign..wonder if she's looking for long-lost 1/1024th cousins to register to vote?
 
---
The fact that a shopped judge extended the Mueller grand jury time 6 more months confirms it's little more than the suspected witch hunt Trump says it is. Think about it, using the extensive files and resources of the FBI and DOJ , and not having a case to finish presenting ..even with harshly coerced "witnesses", means Mueller has nothing.
 
---
Think about this..Pelosi claims concern for the security of this country is immoral, but concern about government funded abortions is not.
 
---
From the "BS! What BS!" department - M/C L-E headline/story: "2 of 3 local school districts improve on report card * all three school systems are below the Alabama state average, which increased by one point, from 79 to 80." -- While I don't usually comment on Alabama issues, this is an exception..This reminds me of a joke about Russia some 45/50 years ago:
Russia wanted to show the world that it had made big strides in automotive technology, so it challenged the US to a head-to-head race. The two cars lined up and took off around the track..By the second lap, the American car had lapped the Russian one. The American car finished many laps ahead of the Russian on, but the next day headlines read, "Russian car finishes 2nd! American car finished next to last!
 
---
M/C L-E headline: "40-foot mural of local history unveiled at Mildred Terry Library" --
I haven't seen the complete mural, but what's shown makes it seem like there is no credit given to the many white Columbusites who were involved in the changes we all benefit from now...

Columbus Council Agenda:
"First reading: An ordinance rezoning property at 5404 Moon Road. The current zoning is SFR2 (Single Family Residential 2). The proposed zoning is SFR4 (Single Family Residential 4) and the proposed use is single family homes. The Planning Advisory Commission and the Planning Department recommended approval. Applicant is RE/MAX Executive Group. (Councilor Charmaine Crabb)" -- A little quick check and I see the address given is owned by the MCSD..(parcel ID 083 025 010) and there's no "evidence of a sale having been recorded.. Is there an error in this publication?

Another "reading" before Council this week is the second reading of a request to amend the requirement that the Columbus Aquatic Commission be allowed to me every other month rather than monthly... DON"T DO IT! There are two many Aquatic Center issues that don't need to be allowed to go unattended for two months. If the current members are not willing to tackle them regularly, replace them with citizens who are interested!
 
---
From the "how self-serving" department - M/C L-E commentary headline: "Reasons to support your local newspaper * BY JOHN A. TURES * Correspondent" -- Hmmm... Tures has but one reason to beg for community support of "the paper"... so "the paper" will pay him for his tripe! The real solution to the "paper's" and Tures' issues is the SUPPORT the Local Community NEEDS... which means stop catering to political correctness and covering politicians' rear ends..
 
---
From the "the reason's probably obvious as why this story is so short and lacking of details" department - M/C L-E headline/story: "Calif. bowling alley shooting kills 3, wounds 4 * Three men were fatally shot late Friday and four injured when a brawl at a popular Los Angeles-area bowling alley and karaoke bar erupted into gunfire that had patrons, including children, running for their lives. * Police in Torrance responded near midnight to calls of shots fired at the Gable House Bowl, which offers bowling, laser tag and an arcade. They found seven people with gunshot wounds. * Three men were pronounced dead at the scene and two were taken to a hospital, Sgt. Ronald Harris said. Two other men were wounded but “opted to seek their own medical attention.” -- First, I "COULD BE" wrong, but I doubt it, but when the MSM-13 avoids tirading against the 2nd Amendment when mass shooting occur, it usually means that the suspects/perpetrators are probably illegal aliens. We'll have to wait to see...
 
---
Did you see the jobs numbers reported for December? Over 312,000 new jobs were filled. The Trump economy continues to soar despite the carping of MSM-13 and the Democrats, and the unwarranted rate increase injected by "the Fed". You would thing that would carry down to Columbus (in spite of it being a liberal nest), but.. in Sunday's M/C L-E "Helped Wanted" section, only 2 companies were listed seeking new employees..
 
---
From the "let's redefine essential employees" department - Online headline/story: "Yosemite death goes unreported due to shutdown * A man died after falling into a river at Yosemite National Park on Christmas Day – a death that was not publicly reported for more than a week due to the government shutdown, officials said. * the man within an hour but he died from injuries sustained in a fall * During the shutdown, only about 50 park service staff members are working, down from the typical 800-plus, Outside noted. At least 10 people died last year in the park." -- Hmmm.. so "at least 10 people died...last year"? First, condolences to the family, but it sounds like about one per month with the full 800-plus employees on duty.. about the same with only 50 on duty.. maybe there just needs to be a re-evaluation of "the 50" to see which of those is not as "essential" as the others.
 
---
Friday was a fun day watching the news.. Trump just shone brightly with the amazing December jobs numbers, the stock market roared back, and Democrats stuttered and stammered trying to soft-peddle the verbal embarrassment of one of the new Democrat women representatives.
 
---
That Democrat woman ..the Islamic one..who referred to our president as a m*****f***** in a conversation .. with her minor son..shame on her...I know that if she said something like that to/about any male in any Islamic country, she'd have been stoned or beheaded. Regardless, she should be chastised and admonished in front of the full House and American public!
 
---
Online headline/story: "House 'will open up money-laundering inquiry' into Trump-Russia ties, says key Democrat * “We will open up a money-laundering inquiry as to whether the Russians were laundering money through the Trump organization,” said Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., a member of both the House intelligence and judiciary committees. * “To use a prosecutor’s phrase, I think we have probable cause to do that, based on the Trump family’s own admissions that they had money coming in from Russia.” -- "money coming in from Russia"? Hmmm... isn't .. well, wasn't .. the Trump company an international business? Now, why is the Trump company's business dealings with Russia considered "probable cause". yet the Clinton Foundation receiving $145 MILLION from Russia at the time Hellary worked with Putin to buy 20% of our uranium not of interest to Congressman Swalwell?
 
---
Quote of the year: John Huntsman nailed Mitt Romney...he described him as "a perfectly lubricated weather vane".
 
SEN. John Kennedy, R-LA, may have have upped John Huntsman's description of Romney (a well lubricated weather vane) . Kennedy described Romney as "popular as head lice". Wonder when MSM-13 will remember when it thought Romney was worse than the fleas on the dog he had lashed down on the roof of his car?
 
---
You know...I'm feeling sorta sorry for Pelosi...she's never had to really negotiate from the majority side when she has had to compromise in order to get things done. Bush43 is not her foil this round, and she has no clue as to how she can get anything accomplished without Trump's approval.
 
---
Things get fuzzy in the holi-daze here in Columbus, GA, but after the Dec 27th shooting death, do we have an up--to-date official number for murders in 2018?
 
---
Online headline/story: "Ed Burke, longtime Chicago Democratic alderman, charged in federal extortion probe * One of the most powerful Democratic City Council members in Chicago has been charged with extortion, accused of trying to shake down a fast-food restaurant seeking remodeling permits, said a federal complaint unsealed Thursday. * Alderman Ed Burke, 75, is charged with one count of attempted extortion for conveying to company executives of a Burger King in 2017 that they’d get the permits if they signed on as clients at his private property tax law firm, the 37-page complaint said." -- Hmmm.. guess Burke was trained by Hellary and Pelosi.. and was shaking down Burger King.. to "have it his way".
 
---
Online headline: "Pence Politely Swears In First Bisexual Senator—to Replace Flake" --
We were right...Arizona replaced a Flake with a flake! On the other hand, we now have the first truly "bipartisan" Democrat ever!
 
---
Well, it's the first Monday report of 2019.. a few things remain "open" as ex-Mayor Tom-LYING-son departs... her car accident, department audits, police jobs, completion of Veterans Parkway/Moon Road intersection area, the River Road Roundabout, Government Center repairs and studies we are paying for on her high-speed rail system and the Phenix City issues with the J.R. Allen Parkway.. Of course, there's one Queen TT project we wish she'd leave open.. the door on the Queen TT Lounge on the RiverWalk.
 
---
Online headline: "House Dems move to eliminate Electoral College, limit presidential pardon power and more in first days back" -- Didn't these people just swear to uphold our Constitution and defend our country from foreign AND domestic insurgence?
 
---
From the "playing to the CNN choir" department - Online headline/story: "Anti-Trump GOP strategist Rick Wilson says on CNN that president‘s ‘rube 10-toothed base’ being conned by wall * Republican strategist and political commentator Rick Wilson mocked supporters of President Donald Trump amid the battle for funding for the border wall *  Wilson, who has been an outspoken critic of the president, went after him, and his supporters, during a CNN panel." -- Wow.. Hellary feels we're "deplorable", Pelosi feels we are "immoral", and now a purported "Republican strategist" says we are the rube 10-toothed base".. How about naming any Republican politician who used or uses Rick Wilson as a "strategist" in the last 5 years.. let's look at their election records and make sure they are "un-elected" next time if still serving.

Our grandson is staying with us this weekend as his parents take a birthday weekend for themselves.. It's now 7:40 AM, and he's been up for a hour.. I know God's creations are "perfect", but God, and I know you're listening, how about installing a special "grandparents button" on all babies that appears when they first start walking ... a "pause button".

Online story: "Basketball Hall of Famer Bill Walton suggested an interesting candidate when he was asked who should be the next coach of the UCLA men’s basketball program after the school fired Steve Alford. * Walton, who was doing color commentary during the Bruins’ matchup against Stanford on Thursday night, suggested former President Barack Obama should be the next UCLA coach." -- What is Bill Walton thinking? We've seen Obama in one job he wasn't qualified for, and Walton feels Obama should be put in another job he's not qualified for..
 
---
From the "we'll see about that" department - M/C L-E guest commentary headline: "Pelosi will show Trump he’s not the only one with power * BY EUGENE ROBINSON * Washington Post" -- You know...I'm feeling sorta sorry for Pelosi...she's never had to really negotiate from the majority side when she has had to compromise in order to get things done. Bush43 is not her foil this round, and she has no clue as to how she can get anything accomplished without Trump's approval.
 
---
MSM-13 is still trying to convince itself that President Trump "lost" the House in November...as usual, MSM-13 didn't see him run the "Statue-of-Liberty" play successfully.. Trump knew that mid-term elections in the House (particularly) are lost causes for first term presidents, so while MSM-13 was fully focused on the House results, Trump did an end-around and scored with a big WIN in the Senate!
 
---
Wow! I've always liked Charles Bronson.. after reading this, I know why.. Online story: "Hollywood tough-guy Charles Bronson is known for his roles portraying police officers, gunfighters and vigilantes. Before all that, he served in WWII as an aerial gunner. He enlisted in 1943 and was based in Guam carrying out missions against the Japanese home islands. He received the Purple Heart and directly participated in 25 missions. Bronson was born to a poor immigrant family and had 14 siblings. He actually didn’t even learn English until he was a teenager, he grew up speaking Russian and Lithuanian. And if that weren’t enough, Bronson also started working in a coal-mine to help out his family at the young age of ten." -- His is a standard that Pelosi and Schumer would want to BUILD "the Wall" to keep immigrants OUT!
 
---
HuffPOOPOO headline: "Editorial board of Vermont paper begs Bernie Sanders not to run in 2020" -- Hmmm I guess after the latest influx of even "lefter" socialist-Democrats on the Washington scene, Bernie is now considered a conservative in Vermont...
 
---
From the "what happens when you have no preventative maintenance plan in action, and road money is spent on bicycle paths instead" department - M/C L-E headline/story: "City needs more than $500,000 to repair crumbling Savannah Drive, city official says * Running water and cracking asphalt are common on Savannah Drive in Columbus. The city will repair the road as soon as funds are available, a city engineer says." -- "common on Savannah Drive"? Good grief, when was the last time any Council person drove around and saw that this is not limited to Savannah Drive? I guess Public Works notes the routes each Councilor takes to come to Council meetings and keeps those reasonably maintained so they won't know the extent of the damages throughout the City.
 

---
From the "it really was a "HATE" crime after all" department - M/C L-E headline/story: "Police say shooting that killed girl was case of mistaken identity * A black man was arrested and charged with murder in the killing of a 7- year-old black girl in a drive-by shooting that authorities said Sunday appeared to be a case of mistaken identity, not a racially motivated attack, as her family feared. * Jazmine Barnes’ family had described the gunman in the Dec. 30 slaying as a white man driving a red pickup and believed race played a role in the shooting." -- Good grief! The fact that this was originally blamed on a white person makes it a worse "HATE" crime than it is! Anger and animosity and racial tensions have been stirred up intentionally and even the truth cannot undo this...Now, in unison.. pray for Jasmine's family and America... anyway...
