From the "for the ... uh ..  MY ... people!" department - Online headline/story: "CAUGHT ON TAPE: Stacey Abrams Plotting To Use Re-Districting to Stop ‘White’ People * Stacey Abrams in 2014 revealed her plan to change the racial demographics of the electorate heading into the 2021 congressional and legislative re-districting efforts (based on the 2020 Census). Abrams planned to prevent a “minority white conservative coalition” from governing in the South. Abrams said: “My eye is on 2021. Because when we do re-districting in 2021, if we have not changed the electorate, especially in the South, we will have a majority minority population that is governed by a minority white conservative coalition. And that’s the most dangerous precedent that we can possibly set for the South in the next 20 years,” Stacey Abrams said at the 2014 Power PAC + National Conference, which was themed, “Race Will Win The Race: The Progressive Path To Victory.” -- "“My eye is on 2021. Because when we do re-districting in 2021, if we have not changed the electorate, especially in the South, we will have a majority minority population that is governed by a minority white conservative coalition."? Meaningful change comes from understanding.. and co-operation. Stacey Abrams has neither of those aspects in her character.. Considering the "facts" about demographics, the only way Abrams can force change based on her perspective is to push fraud in the 2020 Census. Now, if Abrams truly was interested in "meaningful change", why was she not in Virginia pushing for change when Virginia's governor was "outed" for his use of "black face" while in med school? Wait a minute.. here it comes.. Northam was... IS.. a Democrat!

From the "another Covid death?" department - Online headline: "Iran's military satellite a 'tumbling webcam in space,' Space Force commander says" -- Hmm.. Another C.O.V.I.D.  (Can't Openly View Items for Destruction) death?

---
Online headline/story: "NYC man released from Rikers Island over coronavirus arrested on new rape charge * A Brooklyn man was arrested Saturday for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman just 10 days after he was released from Rikers Island over concerns about the spread of the coronavirus behind bars * He had been held for allegedly raping a different woman who he used drugs with." -- So NY politicos.. ALL Democrats.. were more concerned that a serial rapist was worthy of being released into a worst case scenario of Covid-19 than was present within the jail... Hmmmm...guess  Gov Fredo and Mayor de Bl@sio... nor the Democratic Party... do not recognize sexual assault crimes as "violent".

---
Think about this.. The City of Columbus and the Chamber of Commerce have a great new example to advertise the $97,000.00-plus slogan they bought! "Columbus, GA - Home of not only the worst ranked High School in Georgia, but the Nation as well! We Do Amazing!" Wow! Even the MCSD can use it. too!

---
Online headline: "Democratic leaders in Congress remain mum on Biden sexual assault allegations despite mounting uproar from progressives" -- Hmm.. "mum is the word" .. and is becoming "the word" of the Democratic Party.. For instance.. the DNC is also "mum" on the Democratic Party leadership who sold off their stocks before the stock market roller coaster plunge..

---
Online headline: "USNS Comfort to leave NYC harbor soon after assisting in coronavirus relief" -- Hmmm seeing as the USNS Comfort was rushed into operation to satisfy Governor Cuomo's panic call for hospital beds for non-Covid patients, it was pretty much an abuse of our Nations resources... and Cuomo should be billed for ALL the cost of the expedient repairs and costly move to NYC when it wasn't even needed!

---
From the " you can never really re-write history no matter how hard you try to cover it up" department - Online headline/story: "CNN 'Larry King' episode featuring Biden accuser's mother disappears from Google Play catalog * J.L. Hamilton shared a screenshot showing the Aug. 11, 1993, broadcast of "Larry King Live" was no longer listed in the season three catalog of the iconic CNN talk show. Mysteriously, though, the Aug. 10 broadcast, which is listed as "Episode 154" is followed by the Aug. 12 broadcast, which is listed as "Episode 155,"" -- Welcome to the world of Socialist-Democrats...I you can't explain something.. delete it..

---
Looks like we have murder number 16 (or 14 if you're squeamish about reality), and April is still with us here in Columbus, GA.. who knew our $97,000-plus slogan, "We Do Amazing" would fit us so well!

---
Some Michigan State Senator wore a face mask his wife made that looked pretty much like a take-off of the Confederate Battle Flag.. That was stupid... but he was even more stupid when he claimed it looked more like the KY or TV State Flag.. Obviously, he hasn't sen either of hose flags.. He may have fared better had he mentioned it did sorta resemble Bill Clinton's home state of Arkansas, but it would have still been stupid. I'd been offended if he wore a mask  depicting our US National Flag as well, as he shouldn't display a US Flag with the intent to soil it..

---
HuffPOOPOO "poop" - Online headline/story: "ABC's Jon Karl talks back to Donald Trump for 'bad reporting' remark * As President Donald Trump complained there was a lot of “bad reporting out there” at Wednesday’s White House coronavirus briefing, Karl stood up to him. * “That’s not true,” the reporter interrupted in a raised voice. “That’s not true.” -- You might say John Karl got caught up in his own "web of deceit"...It's hard to defend "FAKE NEWS" with FAKE VIEWS"! It's harder still to explain being defended/supported by the HuffPOOPOO.

---
From the "Oh, what an evil web we weave" department - Online headline: "Bernie aides erupt over development in Biden sexual assault claim as DNC stays mum *  Biden’s presidential campaign has adamantly denied Reade’s claims, but the video is likely to be cited as evidence to show that Reade made her claims known to members of her family at the time. The Democratic National Committee did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News." -- ... "when first we practice to deceive"..and Pelosi am\nd Biden are professionals..

With the oil price drops and Covid-19 issues, has anyone recalculated the wealth of Bezos, Buffet, Gates, and Bloomberg ?

---
Six SEC teams had 3 or more players drafted in the first 3 rounds... and 4 of those teams  were from the SEC West Conference, and only OLE MISS had zero top 100 picks.

---
Good grief! Covid-19 is now being blamed for the financial difficulties of the USPS. The Post Office  has been a financial "drain".... well, more like a FINANCIAL FIASCO... for decades!

---
Is it just me, or can no one else find a report on WRBL or WTVM concerning the state/nationwide rankings  of the area High Schools? I suspect that the TV news managers noticed how the L-E tried to camouflage one of our school not only being ranked WORST in GA but the entire nation... and walked away from the story...

---
Columbus Ledger-Enquirer commentary headline/content: "Should we rush to reopen the economy? Evidence from the Spanish flu and Great Depression * BY JOHN A. TURES (professor at Lagrange College) * Until we have the better testing we were promised last month, until there’s some progress on vaccines and cures and until we value life and the sacrifice of our health care workers more than getting our hair and nails done, we need to learn from the lessons of the Spanish flu, as well as the Great Depression, and do what’s best for America." -- You know.. it's funny how government workers.. especially educators don't understand that until the business economy is rolling again, that there's no money to pay them.. unless the government just prints it off and drives up the inflation rate until their salaries are worth less than minimum wage.....

---
From the "Letters" department - Columbus L-E printed a letter concerning 2 Mark Rice stories this week.. The letter writer mentioned on 1 of the stories though.. one about the Pacelli Graduation plans.. The other story got no mention.. I imagine it was about the MCSD high school rankings.. I'm injecting my take on that: "I'm trying to digest why the L-E reported the three worst performing MCSD high schools on one line and a "range" of numbers which included the worst of schools in GA and the nation. I could be wrong but it appears Spencer has staked out both bottom numbers. Not only is it an embarrassment to taxpayers considering the amount of money spent on a new school building isn't even needed to serve the number of students of high school age in Columbus, but it's even more embarrassing to the legacy of a pioneer educator in Columbus, and the MCSD and Ledger-Enquirer were trying to hope no one noticed. SHAME SHAME SHAME!

---
Columbus L-E guest commentary headline: "The Postal Service’s untapped real estate * BY  NICK ZAIAC AND NOLAN GRAY * TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE" -- The "journalists" did bring up the financial woes of the USPS and it's requests for Covid=19 bail-out money, it missed the point on the Post Office properties.. a few years ago, over a billion dollars worth of Post Office properties WAS put on the market... and Sen Diane Feinstein's husband was given exclusive rights to sell them. Has anyone seen a total of his compensation for doing so?

---
Columbus L-E story: "It took longer than expected, but all the speculation about where and when Jake Fromm will be drafted can finally be put to rest." -- Hmmm poor Jake has landed..... nowhere.. well, Buffalo, NY to be exact... Hope we see him again... I just can't see why the Falcons didn't take him that late as a sympathy/local interest pick.

---
Online headline/story: "Biden, Democrats enter a joint fundraising agreement for November election * Joe Biden and the Democratic National Committee have agreed to a joint fundraising accord that will allow the former vice president and likely presidential nominee to raise more money and compete on a more equal footing with Republican President Donald Trump in the Nov. 3 election." -- Hmmm.. and about the only way they can do this is for Pelosi's Congress try to make Trump voter's only count as 3/5ths of a vote.. a tactic the original "Blue States of New England" used to suppress the larger Southern states from having more representation in the House of Representatives until Republicans made everyone equal.

---
Wow! Have you seen the video discovered late last week about a phone call of Tara Reade's mother to the "Larry King Live" show concerning the sexual assault of her daughter by Biden?  Hey, Amy Klobuchar... the investigation is not over.. it fact, it's just beginning.

---
I didn't watch the NFL draft, but this story did catch my eye ...Online headline/story: "SEC sets NFL draft record with 15 first-round picks * The conference that has consistently produced the most draft picks in recent years set a record with 15 picks in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft. The 15 picks breaks a record of 12 that was most recently matched by the conference in 2017. The SEC also had 12 players picked in the first round of the 2013 NFL draft * Six of the SEC’s picks in the first round in 2020 came in the top 10 * Five of the next seven picks were players from SEC schools" -- Good grief! Anyone with any doubt about the SEC being the best conference, and SEC teams having the toughest schedules should have to be banned from any further conversations concerning college football!

---
Online story: "The American Civil Liberties Union released a groundbreaking report in 2013 showing that black people were 3.7 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than whites. Seven years and 33 medical marijuana laws later, a follow-up from the organization shows racial disparities in marijuana arrests remain mostly unchanged — and in some states, have gotten worse." -- Get real! It's not racism.. it's mainly gang related.. Go to http://heyjackass.com/ and look at the street murders in Shicago.. 68% of victims are black... 27% are Hispanic... 3% are white.. a true percent of assaulters cannot be determined simply because arrests haven't been made or because residents won't talk with police, it's gang related... crime relate .. minority on minority related.. no, that's not racism... that's a shame!

---
From the "Bias? What bias?" department - Online headline: "Biden skates through TV interviews as anchors avoid questions about Tara Reade's assault claim" -- And that's not all MSM-13 "avoided".. Ukraine.. Hunter Biden.. China.. or his cure for Cancer..

---
From the "Where's AOC when we actually need her?" department - Online story: "A board member of the petrochemical giant Phillips 66 with ties to Joe Biden has donated the maximum allowable amount to his presidential campaign, and Biden's campaign recently paid $85,000 to a travel company linked to the donor, Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings from April show -- despite Biden's pledge "not to take contributions over $200 from oil, gas, and coal industry executives, lobbyists, and PACs. * or Biden, who has repeatedly suggested that some fossil fuel executives should be jailed, the revelation again threatened to undercut his messaging on climate change -- which has earned him recent endorsements from fellow former VP Al Gore, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and others. * And, environmentalists sounded the alarm last year when Biden attended a high-dollar fundraiser hosted by the co-founder of a liquefied natural gas-related company."" -- Hmmm... like Machiavelli, Biden feels the "end justifies the means"...and as George Orwell, pseudonym of Eric Arthur Blair, so noted in his classic "Animal Farm", "all animals are equal, but some animals are  more equal than others"....

---
From the "Fred Sanford's "It's the big one, Elizabeth.. I'm coming to see you" - department - Online headline/story: "Chicago Tribune blasts Illinois Senate's 'rotten' request for $41.6B federal bailout as 'shameless' * The editorial board of the Chicago Tribune has repeatedly slammed the Illinois Senate's request for a whopping $41.6 billion federal bailout as the state's financial troubles continue to grow amid the coronavirus outbreak. * "Let’s stipulate that Don Harmon, rookie president of the Illinois Senate, laid a rotten egg with his recent letter asking members of Congress to give Illinois a $40.6 billion bequest. Assorted politicians and pundits have scorned Harmon’s inclusion of a $10 billion pension bailout, as if a sudden pandemic created a pension crisis that, in fact, Harmon and his fellow Springfield lawmakers spent decades creating," the editorial board began a piece on Friday." -- Am  I... no.. are WE hallucinating that the Shicago Trib has drawn the line at a Democrat "norm"?

---
It's normal some things get lost when urgencies erupt, but a couple of months ago, an important change was up in the air.. another traditional football game played here  in  neutral Columbus, GA was faced with the aspect of the game being moved to Birmingham.  Now, what's the status, is it going to Birmingham or staying here in Columbus?

---
Online headline: "Michael Avenatti released from jail after quarantine due to coronavirus threat" -- Hmmm and why hasn't he been re-arrested already.. his condition was not to access the Internet.. I'd say this was "access to the Internet".

---
From the "Bias? What bias?" department - Online headline: "CDC chief says there could be second, possibly worse coronavirus outbreak this winter - CNNPolitics" -- "possibly worse"? Good grief! It could possibly  BE GONE, as well! Oh what a better country...world  .. we would have if journalists and government officials exercised Common Sense...

---
You know..It was Trump who recognized the dangers of dependency on other countries manufacturing vital products we need in America,  and he changed the tax laws to encourage American manufacturers to move their  businesses back. Obviously medical/pharmacy  companies have been slower to act, but this Covid-19  episode  will... SHOULD .. encourage them in the future.

---
Columbus Ledger-Enquirer headline: "CBO says the budget deficit will reach $3.7 trillion" -- Hmmm... but let's make sure the number has an Asterisk (*) attached to it  attached to Pelosi's name..

---
As picked out in the Columbus L-E - From the "Bias? What bias?" department - On this date in 1982. the trial of John Hinckley, Jr., who shot four people, including the President Reagan, began in Washington. (The trial ended with Hinckley's acquittal by reason of insanity.) -- Hmm.. so MSM-13 put Reagan being shot as secondary to the other 4 people shot.. but the real issue is why the venue wasn't changed.. who could expect a jury pulled in Washington, DC , with it's history of voting 85%-90% against Republican Presidents, to find an assassin attempt against a Republican President to be a convictable crime?


---
Even in the SEC, the NFL Draft disclosed the inequity of divisions.. the WEST had 38 picks, and the East had but 25.. Maybe there needs to be more inter-division scheduling East Conference records would be more reflective of the West's dominance.. Of course, I can see EVERY East Conference team rushing to sign up games with Ole Miss.. Ole Miss had ZERO players picked in the 2020 draft.
