Jussie Smollett... what a Mullet! Yeah.. Juicy Mullet.. has single-handedly undermined all the best efforts of the NAACP, BLM, LGBTQ the Shicago State Attorney's office. Their actions, their lack of actions, their silence, and their defense has made them irrelevant.

Veterans Parkway has one less eyesore today.. Drove by the BP Station at Veterans and 23rd St yesterday and more than 2 dozen signs had been removed from a perimeter fence.. Thanks to Councilor John House more taking action...sorta hoped Councilors Woodson and Thomas had responded.. Thomas is also a Citywide Councilor like House, but Woodson is the District 7 Councilor. Jump in anytime, Ladies.

From the "hit me with your best shot" department - Online headline: "Sen. Cory Booker: I'm going to 'bring a fight like the NRA has never seen' -- Good grief.. what's he propose.. a pillow fight? The NRA is not our enemy! I wish the Democrats would put out the same energy to remove guns from felons, and gun-using felons from society that they do when assaulting the 2nd Amendment and law-abiding gun owners.

CHS wrestling practice building update: You know, I've had this and the others around town in my sights since they were initially proposed for the 2015 SPLOST.. They were grouped together as 2,400 sq ft Metal-on-slab structures at $750,000.00 each.. That was $312+ a square ft on land already owned. Columbus High was my focus because it really didn't have any natural campus space suitable for construction site (other than the parking lot which the MCSB opted to expand by 60/63 spots for $935,000.00), As I pointed out issues, the MCSD scurried and found a spot.. not ideal by any means, behind the CHS baseball field.. of course this involved permanently reducing the size of the outfield. Then I pointed out the potential catastrophe of a home run baseball hitting the metal building at an inopportune time.. say when the cheerleader were practicing stunts, and the effect a startled pyramid base person or a "dismount catcher" might cause. Then, the MCSD decided to change to concrete block for a "mere" $25,000.00 more.. then I pointed out how much like a prison guard tower it looked as it went up. Obviously the MCSB took note, and the exterior received a brick veneer our covering (I do hope the original slab will sustain the extra weight of adding concrete blocks and brick when a metal wall was the focus. Now, I do applaud the look new shown as something that appears to be complimentary to the main building.. but what I want to know is if this look could be achieved for an extra $25K, how much did the MCSD OVERPAY for the other schools' wrestling buildings made as originally presented?

From the "mouse that roared" department - Online headline/story: "Puerto Rico governor cautions White House: 'If the bully gets close, I'll punch the bully in the mouth'" -- Good grief.. Mueller and the Democrats just pummeled President Trump for the past 2 plus years, and he's the only man standing.. why would a lightweight like Rossello make such an antagonistic.. caustic even.. comment about President Trump.. but it does show how desperate MSM-13 is for a new "Don Quixote" Democrat that they can write about..
Think about.. why would a Governor risk hurting his constituents by attacking the one man who can help them? Just stupidity personified!

So..Kirsten Gillibrand, Dem Senator from NY, and Dem candidate in the presidential nomination race..released her tax forms yesterday. Guess what, not one one word of praise for the benefit she got from the Trump Tax Reforms.. Hmmm..wonder if she'll donate the extra savings she got to some government social program she supports?

Amazing...Democrats are looking for a candidate they feel can take on Trump. That's their problem...Trump is not the issue, lack of programs that work for America' greatness is the issue, and there are no Democrats interested in such.

That vote in the Senate to enable discussion of the GanGRENE New Deal was very revealing.. Revealing that it's obviously a plan with a title, but no ideas in place. Good grief, you would think the if there was merit in this GanGRENE New Deal. Democrats would relish the opportunity... the opportunity for voters to know what their plan will do for them and how much "free" costs them.

M/C L-E headline/story: "Renovations at softball complex on track to be done in time for international summer tournament * Renovations at the South Commons Softball Complex in Columbus are on schedule, with the facility expected to be ready for an international softball tournament scheduled to begin July 1. * the current renovations have played an instrumental role is convincing USA Softball to award the tournament to Columbus. * Sherman said they still need financial support for the project. “The city was a great help in contributing over $3 million for this project and so we appreciate their support very much to get us going, but we still are in need of financial support,” she said. Sherman said they have raised a little more than $1.3 million of their $2.6 million fundraising goal." -- Once again.. Council has fallen for the "pie-in-the-sky". The fact that South Commons "needed" $5.6 MILLION in repairs for a stadium that was built for less than half that amount is an albatross showing lack of routine maintenance is obvious. The fact that the Softball Committee would come only if Columbus agreed to doing this is probably more likely because no other city's softball complex was "up to snuff" either, and none wanted to spend such money on a similar project.. Now .. the most heinous aspect of Council is its commitment of $3,000,000.00 being made available BEFORE the other $2.6 Million has been raised. What happens if the current $1.3 Million isn't raised? Meanwhile, the ever-growing pothole at the intersection of River Road and Mountainbrook is going unresolved.

Oh! and if the project DOES come in on time, maybe Council can send the construction team to the "roundabout" at River Road/BradleyPark/Cascade. After 5 months little more than digging holes and filling them back in has occurred

There's an article in the M/C L-E concerning movies about basketball.. one in particularly insulted me... and it should insult every one in America..Glory Road. Glory Road! What an injustice to American race relations! The story.. well, the REAL story was amazing, but the director decided he needed to spice things up with adding deplorable scenes of hatred and discrimination that never happened. I remember that year vividly.. No one was more pleased at UTEP beating Rupp's Kentucky team in the NCAA 1996 finals than me.. Took my eldest daughter to see the film in 2006.. wanted her to see first hand about the history of the sport I loved.. I was dumbfounded at some scenes as I'd never heard of them.. and obviously there was good reason I hadn't..they never happened.. I was mortified sitting by my daughter and could hardly talk about things as we left the theater.. Fortunately, I can[me across an article a few years later revealing the incredible abuse of history the director used to gain celebrity status for himself.. God help us that he doesn't get hired to make a movie about Jussie Smollett!
