From the "Woulda-shoulda-coulda Bias? What Woulda-Shoulda-Coulda Bias?" department - Online headline/story: " * What tariffs could cost American households * According to the bank’s analysts, the cost of the U.S.-China trade war borne by consumers is likely to rise from around $600 per year — based on the first two “phases” of the tariffs on Chinese imports — to around $1,000, based on the third round of tariffs. * That $1,000 figure assumes a 10% tariff on about $112 billion of Chinese imports, which U.S. President Donald Trump announced will begin next month." -- Woulda-Shoulda-Coulda! Good grief! "could cost"? Just a likely projection is "could save".. could create American jobs .. could save American jobs.. or could send American retailers importing from ally countries at better prices! The "Chicken Little: The Sky Is Falling!" campaign is a Socialist-DemocRAT election tactic..

Online headline: "Megan Rapinoe says her parents 'need to go to therapy' for watching Fox News" -- Better yet is that her family reportedly supports President Trump..and Megan Rapinoe should be grateful! If her parents were liberal, she;d probably be nothing more than abortion data!

From the "best self description of the year" department - Online headline/story: "Illinois state senator apologizes for mock Trump assassination photos taken at fundraiser * The following day, a female attendee posted several images showing a man pointing what appears to be a fake assault weapon at another attendee who wore Mexican garb and a Trump mask" -- Hmmm.. yes, Democratic state Senator Martin Sandoval, did come out and "apologize" (though more for his embarrassment at being cu=aught) and said he was "sorry". Wow,, a DemocRAT who tells the truth.. Sandoval IS a "SORRY" @-hole!

Regardless of who's the DemocRAT VP nominee, the if Biden-been-Botoxed is the head of the ticket, it'll be the equivalence of a Thomas Eagleton led 1972 ticket.. ironically, both have taken too many  "shots" to the head.

Online headline: "Tlaib gets emotional as Omar calls for Congress to act over Israel travel restrictions" -- Good grief! Congress should get emotional... and rid itself of Tlaib and Omar.. and apologize for embarrassing the US .. and our staunchest ally.

Looks like the DemocRATs are bottoming out. In he Left Coast state of Washington, donations to Trump 2020 are greater than the top 6 DemocRATs.. combined. I seriously doubt Trump can win Washington, but there are vulnerabilities in Congress in play .

From the "Hey ex-Mayor of Columbus Tom-LYING-son, California.. not Washington.. is calling you" department - Online Story: "In San Francisco, the toilets cost roughly $200,000 each to operate annually, depending on the hours, said Rachel Gordon, a spokeswoman for San Francisco Public Works. * That doesn’t include the initial cost of $73,000 to buy each of the bathroom units or a one-time expense of nearly $200,000 for a vacuum truck to service them. Many are open less than 12 hours a day, and running them all night would be “considerably more” — at least $500,000 a year — because they would require two attendants late at night for safety reasons, Gordon said." -- Who better to run an outdoor public facility program than someone who feels a $244,000.00 public executive bathroom (key access) is a bargain?

After hearing the weekend updates on the death of Jeffrey Epstein - including a new will - the US Atty General should make extra-special efforts to make sure the body is not cremated, and gets another autopsy from a non-NY forensic examiner.

You know.. the Congressional Black Caucus is probably one of the most racist organizations in our country.. not only is race a requirement, you have to be a DemocRATic Congressperson to really be accepted to participate. In effect.. participating in it violates a Congressman's oath to serve in office as a defender of our Constitution...

Online headline/story: "Sen Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) on Monday drew in the largest crowd of her presidential campaign tour yet, attracting thousands of energized supporters to her town hall at Macalester College. * She drew raucous applause when she discussed her proposed wealth tax, which would impose a 2% tax on fortunes worth more than $50 million and a 3% tax on fortunes worth more than $1 billion." -- Good grief.. talk about making class warfare promises she cannot even begin to feel would get enacted, Warren couldn't get her husband to drink a beer with her! The reality is that Macalester College has a student body of only 2,200, so 1000s of non-students were brought in as props. Oh, and her "folly tax" on accumulated wealth will never pan out as individual with the kind of wealth she's targeting will shift wealth to Donor Advisory Funds or personal; foundations, and pre-death distributions to other family members will be taken to reduce the total wealth below her target numbers.. which will result in less private money being ventured into new businesses/jobs..

Have heard 2 different explanations of what "Antifa" stands for..Some say "Anti-Fascism" ..but that can't be right because they ARE fascist. The other is " Anti-First Amendment" ( Anti-F-A)..they both nail the organization, and that's why it should be designated a "terrorist organization".

Saw a DNC list of Socialist-DemocRATs that have qualified for the September DemocRATic Debacle # 3. Interestingly, Tom Steyer was not mentioned... period.. Last week I included a small article showing the Steyer has already QUIETLY qualified with the number of donors required.. Something is up..

From the "it's official" department - M/C L-E FRONT PAGE/Above the Fold headline/story: "Columbus to get the region’s first Goodwill outlet store * The new store, at 3857 Saint Mary’s Road, will sell items priced by the pound instead of per item. * Items from the traditional retail stores that do not sell within four weeks will be transferred to the outlet" -- Good grief.. Goodwill Industries has declared South Columbus as it's "official" regional dumping grounds! I can see outlying counties getting it';s citizens to take their junk to the closest Goodwill collection box so it will eventually end up in Columbus' landfill rather the=an them paying the cost of their own landfill.

M/C L-E headline: "Is Columbus ‘Best City in the South’? Vote in Southern Living contest" -- Hmm I love Columbus, but I'm not sure it is the Best City in the South".. but it now has potential since ex-mayor Tom-LYING-son is no longer in charge.

Hmmm-- thinking about, where is Zeph Baker? He seems to have dropped off the "map" since the 2018 local elections.. including being well over a year LATE in filing his Campaign Disclosure forms.

 

---
Thinking about Zeph Baker made me wonder about his business ventures here..There's still Google 'tracks' of "Majestic Sunz" listed at 5150 Macon Road.. property database shows that that property is still in the hands of a former political "pundit" RINO that tried to roll back our tax freeze. Anybody know whether there's a viable asset working out of that property?

M/C L-E headline/story: "Group of Georgia voters challenging legality of new election system * Georgia voters who want hand-marked paper ballots are challenging the new election system state officials are rushing to implement in time for next year’s presidential primaries, saying the new touchscreen machines remain vulnerable and their results unverifiable, even though they produce paper records." -- Hmmm.. filed by "Georgia voters who want hand-marked paper ballots "? -- Hmmm.. and not one mention of the filers being DemocRATs... You know, the only reason DemocRATs want to use only hand-filled ballots is because you can't stuff forged electronic votes into a backroom ballot box. If eliminating "voter fraud" was the goal of Stacey Abrams and the DemocRATic Party, they would be applauding voter ID and the new electronic system that prints out a paper record as well.

From the "straight BS!" department - M/C L-E headline: "Early Epstein accuser: Police could have stopped him in 1997" -- Heh heh heh.. not a chance could this have happened with Bill Clinton in the "ORAL Office"!
