From the "Bias? What bias?" department - Online headline/story: "Trump not ready to commit to election results if he loses" -- Good grief.. Trump is the LAST person to ask about "accepting " the choice of the American voters.. The ones to ask are Socialist-Democrats! Tell me the date that Hellary, Stacey Abrams, accepted their losses? Tell me the date that Pelosi, Schumer, Schi**, Lord Farquaad Nadler, AOC, Ilhan Omar .. Obama or JoKKKe Biden accepted Trump as America's choice..Oh! And the WORST group to not accept the 2016 results.. that's right.. Mainstream Media itself!

From the "Hey Chris Wallace.. when you were "researching", why didn't you look at the Fox files?" department - Chris Wallace is a liar.. technically, Wallace can infer JoKKKe Biden did not specifically say "Defund Police", but Biden did say he was FOR "REDIRECTING" Police funding.. Wallace .. and Biden.. wee having a Clinton "IS" moment.

From the "DEFINITELY Not Ready For Prime Time" department - Online headline/story: "Wrong absentee ballots mailed to over 700 Georgia voters * More than 700 Georgia voters incorrectly received nonpartisan absentee ballots instead of Democratic or Republican ballots for the state’s upcoming primary runoff election, the secretary of state’s office said Friday. Those voters are being mailed replacement ballots, along with a letter asking them to destroy their old ballots." -- Hmmm.. Election officials are asking people to "destroy" their wrong "mail-in" ballots? Yeah ... right.. This is why mailing out/in ballots for all cannot be justified...there's no accountability for the wrong ballots being destroyed, and there's more likelihood such ballots will be "harvested" and returned from different voters on a Party's registration list who did not vote the first time around..

From the "telling it like it is/was" department - Online headline/story: "'My Nigerian great-grandfather sold slaves' * Nigerian journalist and novelist Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani writes that one of her ancestors sold slaves, but argues that he should not be judged by today's standards or values. * People from ethnic groups along the coast, such as the Efik and Ijaw, usually acted as stevedores for the white merchants and as middlemen for Igbo traders like my great-grandfather. * It would be unfair to judge a 19th Century man by 21st Century principles * Buying and selling of human beings among the Igbo had been going on long before the Europeans arrived. People became slaves as punishment for crime, payment for debts, or prisoners of war. * Igbo slaves served as domestic servants and labourers. They were sometimes also sacrificed in religious ceremonies and buried alive with their masters to attend to them in the next world.

People became slaves as punishment for crime, payment for debts, or prisoners of war. * Igbo slaves served as domestic servants and labourers. They were sometimes also sacrificed in religious ceremonies and buried alive with their masters to attend to them in the next world.
Slavery was so ingrained in the culture that a number of popular Igbo proverbs make reference to it:
Anyone who has no slave is his own slave
A slave who looks on while a fellow slave is tied up and thrown into the grave with his master should realise that the same thing could be done to him someday
It is when the son is being given advice that the slave learns
The arrival of European merchants offering guns, mirrors, gin, and other exotic goods in exchange for humans massively increased demand, leading people to kidnap others and sell them.
European buyers tended to remain on the coast
African sellers brought slaves from the interior on foot
Journeys could be as long as 485km (300 miles)
Two captives were typically chained together at the ankle
Columns of captives were tied together by ropes around their necks
10%-15% of captives died on the way
The trade in African people continued until 1888, when Brazil became the last country in the Western hemisphere to abolish it.
When the British extended their rule to south-eastern Nigeria in the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, they began to enforce abolition through military action. * many local people such as my great-grandfather may not have understood that abolition was about the dignity of humankind and not a mere change in economic policy that affected demand and supply. * "We think this trade must go on," one local king in Bonny infamously said in the 19th Century. * Adaobi's father, Chukwuma Hope Nwaubani, lives on land that was owned by Nwaubani Ogogo" --Hmmm ... reparations? Now,The writer of this story about his great-grandfather, and the writer's father are definitely two that should pay towards reparations... they are still benefiting from their great-grandfather and other ancestors slave trading days.

Thought you'd like to see this! From an online story: "A 2014 systematic review of cohort studies concluded that moderate coffee consumption (3-5 cups a day) results in a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular diseases. * the British Heart Foundation analyzed over 8,000 participants and proposed that even 25 cups of coffee a day won’t stiffen arteries, as previously presumed. Coffee shrinks inflammation and stabilizes insulin production, which can decrease the likelihood of diabetes. These benefits can even lengthen life, according to researchers at the University of Southampton in 2018.

You know, if MSM-13 was interested in the truth .. and news in general, it would be remembering the fall of the Berlin Wall.. Instead, MSM-13 ignores it.. the Berlin Wall was put up by Socialist, and MSM-13 does not want to remind independent or Democrat base voters of what Socialism is really about (or that "Walls Work).. It's also why MSM-13 doesn't show much about Venezuela, Cuba, Iran and numerous other Socialist countries' squalor for the masses.

Augusta U. responded to Bottoms "hit": "Research universities are problem solvers, so when the coronavirus pandemic hit, Augusta University and Augusta University Health System immediately went to work on a solution, a solution for which Georgia’s only public academic medical center was uniquely suited to provide. To date, more than 50,000 Georgians have been serviced through the AU Health ExpressCare app and hotline, and an additional 64,000 people have been tested at AU Health and Georgia National Guard-partnered drive-thru sites. From virtual screening technology and a first-in-state FDA-approved in-house test for COVID-19, to drive-thru specimen collection locations and a state-of-the-art clinical laboratory where those samples could be tested, Augusta University has consistently stepped up to serve the citizens of Georgia." -- Hmm so, why DID the Atlanta mayor hit bottom? Augusta U did not agree with her politically motivated agenda.

Online headline: "Heat wave to roast Northeast as temps forecast to approach 100 F" -- Have you noticed that whenever "climate change issues" are brought up by libs, that they seem only to consider the US? Take Paris, France, for instance.. high temperature beginning Monday through the 31st range from 82 degrees to 73 degrees.

Online headline: "Justice Ginsburg says cancer has returned, but won't retire" -- You know.. you really have to question Ginsburg's dedication to the US Constitution.. She has actually stated that she won't retire while President Trump is in office.. because her personal agenda is more important than our Constitution. What a sad life she leads...

Online headline/story: "Pentagon bans Confederate flag in way to avoid Trump's wrath * After weeks of wrangling, the Pentagon is banning displays of the Confederate flag on military installations, in a carefully worded policy that doesn't mention the word ban or that specific flag. * Signed by Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Thursday night, the memo lists the types of flags that may be displayed at military installations. " -- What a wise choice has been made.. When you actually prohibit certain behavior, what you really have done is open up another can of worms that, more or less, says. if we don't specifically ban a flag, it's permissible until we address it specifically. Look at our LAWS.. They are all based on the 10 Commandments, but specificity has created a quagmire of inefficiency at being able to use Common Sense as a guide..

Online headline/story: "Bubba Wallace: 'Any narrative' that all NASCAR fans are racist is 'totally not true' * "We always want to pay attention to the negative, but the narrative that's been out there now is saying all NASCAR fans are racist, and whatnot, and that's totally not true,” Wallace told the hosts." -- Whoa!.. Bubba Wallace has just signed his own death warrant by having his own opinion that differs with "Black Lives Matter" (and some local Columbus, GA activists) agenda.

Online headline: "Biden campaign staffer mocked cops as worse than 'pigs,' called for defunding police * Sara Pearl has since deleted some of the social media posts" -- And the LOUDEST slur has been from the DNC, the JoKKKe Biden campaign, and the "Holey Trinity.. Obama/Pelosi/Schumer" - for their outrageous silence!

Online story: "The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) pushed back Friday against a claim being amplified by liberal politicians and activists that federal agents who deployed to Portland to disperse protesters this week aren’t identifying themselves. * In a statement, DHS insisted that agents are identifying themselves as Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents. But they admitted agents are not wearing name tags -- citing recent doxing incidents against law enforcement * "The CBP agents identified themselves and were wearing CBP insignia during the encounter," the DHS said in a statement. "The names of the agents were not displayed due to recent doxing incidents against law enforcement personnel who serve and protect our country." -- You know.. since the LEFT labels ALL law enforcement people who serve in uniform.. regardless of race....as racists, then there is no NEED to identify them specifically. It's all about respecting the laws of the US in a civil manner.

While I do give her points for talking with Bill Hemmer on Fox yesterday, former Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, basically filleted herself on National TV Friday. Even with video of her statements in 2015 running and leaving nothing to misinterpret, the ex-mayor's tried to dismiss her message of abandonment of the laws of the US and Baltimore to protect all the law-abiding citizens of Baltimore. * Rawlings-Blake argued Friday that her comments were taken out of context. * "I know you spend a lot of time defending the First Amendment," Rawlings-Blake told Hemmer. "That was all I was saying, is I was working very hard to protect the First Amendment rights of the protesters and they took advantage of that. And if you listen to the entire thing in the context of the interview, you would understand that. And the governor knows that." -- You know, our 1st Amendment does not give permission ..nor protection .. to anyone to disregard another citizens 1st (or any) Amendment rights.. Even if she WANTED to give support to a 1st Amendment protest, she did not have the right to allow them to express it violently or criminally.. and she did not protect her City ..or it's citizens... as she swore an oath to do.

From the "former Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake school of law" department - Online headline: "Chris Cuomo: ‘Show Me The Law That Says Protesters Can’t Commit Assault’" -- Hey Fredo Cuomo II, the law you seek is the 1st Amendment that protesters are using to violate the 1st Amendment Rights of others..

One thing that does not get mentioned in the conversations about renaming military bases is that it was the victorious side of the war that earned them the right to make such decisions.. Choices were made to honor the valor and skills of military men who distinguished themselves in history..

As best I can see, it looks like 64 deaths in Muscogee County have been associated with Covid-19.. while we grieve death, that number of 64 pales when you think about how many other deaths have also occurred in Muscogee County in 2020..We have at least 22 deaths accounted for by murder alone..
