From the "Bias? What bias?" department - Online headline: "Racist, threatening letters sent to Charlotte mayor and several non-white lawmakers borrowed language used by Trump" -- "borrowed language used by Trump"? Good grief! But there's no condemnation that the ALL the words were TAKEN from Webster's Dictionary! For that matter, how do people "borrow" words from someone who doesn't actually OWN them?

Online story: "Text messages and emails from Nike executives entered in federal court on Friday paint a vivid portrait of the inner workings of grassroots basketball. * They include detailed plans to pay then-high school stars such as Zion Williamson and Romeo Langford, line-item accounting of alleged payments to the people around eventual No. 1 pick Deandre Ayton, and an acknowledgment by a top Nike executive that “the perception and resulting reality is that we dictate where players go to school.”" -- Hmmm... "dictate where players go to school"? This sounds similar to the recent situation where parents of elites who were not star athletes have been vilified for wanting to help get their children into elite schools.... ONLY MUCH WORSE!

Nike must really thrive on controversy and messing with people's lives..We had a situation here in Columbus, GA with a Nike program that criminalized and ruined the career of 2 Columbus, GA  employees running a youth basketball mill, and we just learned that Nike has been manipulating top high school players college decisions, and now Nike may be intruding into amateur golf. A finalist who has finished his career at Vanderbilt was wearing school colors with a small Vandy insignia on one side of his shirt but on the other side, and on his cap were HUGE Nike "swoops". Happenstance..I don't think so. Vandy's golf coach was interviewed while wearing team items.. a cap with a big Vandy "V" on it, and a team shirt with the Vandy insignia on it. Neither article had the Nike "swoop" (at least not visible) on it. The USGA needs to investigate whether there was "play for pay" involved or a promise of a Nike contract as soon as he turns professional.

Online headline: "Graham: IG's report on Russia probe will be 'ugly and damning' for DOJ
-- I pray the FBI be able to regain its public confidence by the time Trump leaves office in January of 2025. America must have confidence that its premiere law enforcement agency is going to become above board again.

You know, MSM-13 and the DemocRATs made little, if any, effort to get decent trade agreements that helped America, yet when President Trump announces he's going to make big changes that put America first' MSM-13 and the DemocRATs get upset that he can't get those things done overnight.
 
---
From the "Hypocrisy, thy name is.. Socialist-DemocRAT/MSM-13" - department - Online story: "(President Trump) announced that he had chosen the Office of the Surgeon General to receive his second-quarter salary for 2019. * Nevertheless, many on Twitter were quick to mock Trump’s seemingly generous gesture by pointing out the high expenses incurred by his frequent golf outings. * One person wrote, in part, “He donates 400k & writes it off but charges hundreds of thousands for government officials, security etc to Stay in his hotels while protecting him, while he plays GOLF & charges the American people.” -- Good grief.. none of the Socialist=DemocRATs.. none of the MSM-13 ever mentions that Obama kept all of his presidential paychecks as well as had his security entourage "on the clock" as he played even more golf.

Online headline: "Kaepernick ally snaps: "Has Jay-Z ever taken a knee?" -- Hmmm I imagine when Jay-Z "takes a knee", it's to honor God... and to pray for confused malcontents that protest the very best country in the world; and for childish athletes being paid boukoodles of money to play a kids game, and for the Philadelphia idiots that jeer and pummel police officers being shot at by drug dealers living next door to them.
 
---
From the "remember when?" department - Online headline/story: "Newt Gingrich: We’re in a space race with China – We must win to protect our economic and national security * As our legacy space companies and NASA continue to fumble around and protect their prized projects, China is aggressively seeking to overcome the United States as the dominant space- faring nation." -- Hmmm Remember this? "Online NYT headline/story from 1999: "Clinton Approves Technology Transfer to China * May 11, 1999 * The Clinton Administration notified Congress today that it had approved the export of technology to China to permit the launching of a communications satellite aboard a Chinese rocket next month. * President Clinton said in a letter to Congress that the transfer would not harm national security or significantly improve China's military capability in space. The President was required under a 1998 law to certify that all such technology exports are in the national interest." I wouldn't be surprise if Chairman Xi goes after the portrait of Clinton that Epstein had in his NY mansion.. "Devil with the Blue Dress On".

The Bible addressed the "Climate Changers/New Green Dealers" 2,000 years ago. The Apostle Luke, in verse 12:56 summed them up pretty succinctly : "Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don't know how to interpret this present time?"

A well respected local judicial and political leader said we need to trust our Council on the Government Center situation. I asked him, "Are you saying to agree with them on replacing the Courthouse, or trust them with a 10 year $350 MILLION spending spree?" . I do believe ineptitude by previous Councils (which includes a lot on the current Council) are responsible for the pitiful condition of the Court House , and replacing it is the only real choice after 48 years of neglect , but we need to do something despite the track record we are looking back at. Giving them $350,000,000.00 is not what we should do...
 
---
You know, I believe in helping people in need.. well, in real need, but 'helping' whomever happens to come along is ludicrous. Just read about Atlanta having 77 schools where everybody gets all their meals free. and not too long ago' I read Columbus added another school.. the 19th I believe, to its 'everybody eats free' list.. Surely, not everybody attending those schools should get free meals when not all schools do so.

Online headline: "Varney calls 2020 Dems 'grossly hypocritical' after Forbes releases net worth of candidates" -- Stuart Varney is close.. but it's more like Socialists believe "some animals are more equal than other animals"...Varney has really missed the biggest point about Biden-been-Botoxed... Biden has a home in Delaware where he's lived for decades that the taxpayers spent tons of money making it secure for him and his wife when he was Vice President... yet he had basically abandoned that house and is renting a mansion of a multi-multi-millionaire after leaving office...though I cannot get info if he actually pays the rent or how much it is... but we taxpayers have also paid for the security improvements on this rental property.

Saturday, while waiting for a certain TV show to come on, I turned on ESPN2 early and caught the end if some X-games. I was appalled that there was a girls skateboard competition.. I applaud talent, but not irresponsibility.. none of the competitors wore helmets or other protective gear.. Excuse me, but younger adventuresome girls will see this and defy their parents' by ditching their protective gear when trying to emulate the professionals.
 
---
I'm sure not we agree for the same reasons , but I am glad Epstein's lawyers have expressed doubt in the NY Medical Examiners opinion that Epstein's death was by suicide.. that's just too convenient considering the names associated with him. Hope they can keep his body from being cremated.
 
---
Hmmm...during the first DemocRATic Debacle, did any questioner ask for a show of hands of the nominee wannabes as to who supported the Antifa violence?
 
---
M/C L-E headline: "Database provides look at salaries for Columbus government employees" -- Hmm.. while I am appreciative that the L-E publicizes the salaries of key City personnel, I am very disappointed that the L-E did not publish the duties and salary of Deputy Mayor Bishop.. This job was a political add-on job created out of thin air just for him.. why doesn't the public know the details?
 
---
M/C L-E headline: "Stacey Abrams has her eyes on Georgia as she focuses on fighting voter suppression" -- Hmm anyone not promoting border security, the wall, and voter ID cards is not interested in stopping voter fraud.
 
---
I am in wonder how a judge can order an electronic voting system shut down because it is outdated... yet feels that anonymous, hand-written paper ballots are safer...
 
---
You know, the NYC Medical Examiner should not be the only person to perform an autopsy on Jeffrey Epstein...just the Cuomo/Clinton New York political connection alone creates urgency to get a independent exam.
 
---
Did you see the New Hampshire crowds that came out to see/support President Trump? I think Trump could win both the Republican and Democrat primaries in NH.
 
---
Sadly, the citizens of Venezuela and Hong Kong are being suppressed of their rights with little sympathy from our MSM-13 media... even sadder is that MSM-13 is supporting the same government ideology of the DemocRATic Party. MSM-13 should be looking at what little freedom of speech the media has in Venezuela and China.. it's what will be come of even MSM-13's 1st Amendment rights if DemocRATs gain control.
 
---
As Mitch Ryder, Bruce Springsteen, and others have shared, it's the "Devil With the Blue Dress on". It wasn't in Epstein's house as sarcastic commentary.. no... it was hung in tribute as Epstein admired what Clinton got away with...
 
---
Wow... I was fooled.. Michael J Fox donated to Pete Booty-gig... I guessed he would be a Biden-been-Botoxed fan seeing as Creepy Joe has said he knows THE CURE for cancer but won't reveal it unless he's elected...
 
---
Speaking of Creepy Joe's cancer cure ...MSM-13 just yawns when it's flashed in front of it...guess MSM-13 just writes it of as either another Biden gaffe or just another Biden promise that won't be kept.
 
---
From the "do as I say' not as I do" department - Online headline/story: "Buttigieg offers most controversial statement yet on campaign trail: Get rid of the DH (MLB's designated Hitter) * South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who's spoken in favor of workers' rights in his bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, raised eyebrows Friday after reportedly championing an economic system that forces some workers to perform additional duties they're not trained for while realistically denying a job to other skilled laborers -- Yes, "Mayor Pete" supports Major League Baseball's National League-style of play" * I feel you ought to have to play both parts of the game,” said Buttigieg," -- Hmmmm...hypocrite...he doesn't believe this in his personal life..marriage.
 
---
From what must be "world's toughest job to do with a straight face" department - Hmmmm... Think about being the head of the promotional department at Burger King, and having to advertise that your best selling, signature hamburger cannot be distinguished from a plant patty.
 
I'm waiting for Wendy's to troll out Clara Peller to ask,, "Really? Where IS the beef?"
 
---
Tlaib and Omar's plaintive pleas of disgust and discrimination wring hollow. It's been them advocating boycotts of Israel, so why are they complaining about being boycotted by Israel?
 
---
Wow! Congressperson Tlaib's hatred for Israel is stronger than her love of her family! Forget the recent situations when she rejected the opportunity to go there with the Congressional junket, or her being banned by Israel for a political cause, then refused to accept access for a humanitarian cause, yet she hadn't bothered to go visit her family there for the previous 10 years..
 
---
Excuse me, but how can DemocRATs and MSM-13ers condemn the Israeli decision to deny Tlaib and Omar access as US Congresspersons, yet hem-haw when US Congresspersons choose.. CAMPAIGN.. ADVOCATE.. to condemn Israel?
 
---
Online headline: "Painting of Bill Clinton in blue dress and heels was inside Jeffrey Epstein's NYC mansion" -- You know...considering the history of these two men, Epstein having this picture of "Devil with a Blue Dress On" was a tribute to Bill Clinton .. a tribute to their mutual admiration.
 
---
M/C L-E headline: "9 MCSD properties, including some former schools, will be up for sale if board approves" -- There are two pieces of property that are not on this list that should be.. the first replacement Spencer High School recently abandoned, and the highly valuable property between Veterans-Whitesville-Bradley Park roads area..The MCSD bus lot can be moved ... behind the Columbus Roberts Center off Brown Ave comes to mind instantly.

That shooter in Philadelphia.. the one that wounded 6 police officers.. the one that his neighbors rallied for by jeering at and throwing things at the police officers trying to end the danger to that neighborhood.. the one that was about 37, and had 6.. that's right 6 felony convictions involving firearms since he was 18 (I see about 19 years of history of gun violence) and we don't even know what might be sealed within the juvy court records. Question: How the heck was he free on the streets?
 
---
From the "another DA fail" department - M/C L-E headline/story: "Columbus midtown murder suspect had previous gang arrest at apartment complex * (In a previous recent arrest) officers found a .45-caliber pistol, marijuana and a digital scale. * Though Reed initially was charged with making terroristic threats, along with 10 counts of criminal gang activity, the gang charges later were dropped and the terroristic threat count was reduced to simple assault. * In a negotiated plea deal on June 26, Reed’s simple assault charge was dismissed, and he pleaded guilty only to criminal trespass. * (Reed was) sentenced .. to serve eight months, though Reed likely was released early with credit for the time he already spent in jail." -- Why do we even go through the motions? When guns are used in drug deals, there are no victimless crimes.. and when recidivist felons can plea bargain to lesser charges, the public is not given justice..
 
---
M/C L-E headline: "Greenland to US: We’re not for sale" -- Ah! Denmark has been soaking in Trump's "Art of the Deal"... and knows better how to negotiate.. besides, it's not Greenland's choice..

M/C L-E headline/story: "Latino actors, writers pen ‘letter of solidarity’ * Actresses America Ferrera and Eva Longoria are leading a group of more than 150 writers, artists and leaders who have written a public “letter of solidarity” to U.S. Latinos after the mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, and an immigration raid in Mississippi. * The letter, published Friday in The New York Times and in a handful of Spanish-language newspapers, says the signers stand with U.S. Latinos who may feel “terrified, heartbroken and defeated by the barrage of attacks,” citing the shooting in El Paso, which targeted Hispanics, and another shooting in Gilroy, California. The two attacks killed nearly two dozen Latinos. * “We have been smeared by political rhetoric and murdered in violent hate crimes. We have been separated from our families and have watched our children caged,” the letter said. “But, we will not be broken. We will not be silenced.”" -- Wow.. A hundred-fifty or so actresses/, writers et al ... well  Insulated and well Isolated actresses, writers et al are finally upset at the laws brought in by Obama/Biden when they are now being enforced to protect all the American citizens who have obeyed our country's laws. US citizens of Hispanic ancestry ought to be PO's at Hollywood!
 
---
M/C L-E headline: "Israel’s advocates fear losing bipartisan support from the US" -- Israel fears losing bipartisan support? Good grief..There is no 'bi-partisan" support! When was the last time the DemocRATS SUPPORTED Israel... on anything! It's well documented.. though Mueller didn't investigate it..that Obama even tried his best at undermining Israel's election hoping Netanyahu would lose..
 
---
M/C L-E headline/story: "5 new storefronts breathe more life into Midtown * When Roses announced earlier this summer that it would be moving into a portion of the former Kmart on Macon Road, it signaled that midtown is still a thriving place for businesses despite a dismal outlook for brick-and-mortar retail nationwide." -- Excuse me, but when does a discount store moving into a building abandoned by another discount store "signal" that area as a "thriving place for businesses"?
 
---
M/C L-E headline/story: "Today in history: In 1934, a plebiscite in Germany approved the vesting of sole executive power in Adolf Hitler." -- Wow! "a plebiscite... vesting of sole executive power in Adolph Hitler"? This exactly what the Socialist-DemocRATs envision for America and why they want open borders, no voter ID, taking away gun rights, and ending the Electoral College.. just check out Venezuela, North Korea, and China.

M/C L-E headline/story: "Doctors say new rule will mean sicker immigrants * Doctors and public health experts warn of poor health and rising costs they say will come from sweeping Trump administration changes that would deny green cards to many immigrants who use Medicaid, as well as food stamps and other forms of public assistance. * Two California counties and attorneys general in 13 states sued, saying the changes will increase public health risks. * There are signs that is already happening in cities including Chicago, Detroit and New York, immigrant advocates say." -- Well... so far, I've counted all the naysayers on my fingers and toes and I still have a couple toes I haven't used. This is what MSM-13 does.. overblows the urgency by elevating the numbers .. Immigrants wanting the American "dream" should want it all.. including being responsible for their healthcare.
