I wrote this before Hideki Matsuyama teed off on Sunday:

Regardless of anything else, Matsuyama won the Masters on Saturday with his 3rd shot on number 18. His second shot flew the green some 20 yards long with a back right pin placement. Most GOOD golfers would have be thinking about playing.. actually HOPING for a safe bogey, but Matsuyama hit a bump & run chip within gimmee range and made an unbelievable par.

Update: Matsuyama bogeyed the 18th Sunday for a one shot victory... which confirms that the shot he saved on Saturday was the winning margin.

From the "There really is a solution for his" department - Online headline/story: "Police fatally shoot Black man in traffic stop near Minneapolis, protests erupt * In a statement, Brooklyn Center police said officers pulled over a man for a traffic violation just before 2 p.m., and found he had an outstanding arrest warrant. * As police tried to arrest him, (Daunte Wright, 20) got back in the car. * Wright's mother, Katie Wright, had received a call from her son on Sunday afternoon telling her that police had pulled him over * She could hear police tell her son to get out the vehicle, she said. *"I heard scuffling, and I heard police officers say, 'Daunte, don't run* Late Sunday, a group of about 100 to 200 protesters gathered around the Brooklyn Center police headquarters and threw projectiles, including rocks, at the police department, Commissioner John Harrington of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety said in a live-streamed news briefing. The group was later dispersed. * Another pocket of protesters broke into about twenty businesses at a regional shopping center, with some businesses looted, according to the police and local media reports." -- There really is a solution.. and not just refraining from criminal acts/activities... but cooperating with police officers when caught. Pray for the Wright family.. and for the police officer and his/her family. Oh! And pray that the "looters" will be caught and prosecuted for their criminal activities... and that the "looters" will cooperate with police officers when caught.

Online NBC News headline/story: "Empty federal posts, including immigration and FDA heads, raise concern as Biden administration lags * The jobs are being filled temporarily by officials limited by their acting capacity: They are unlikely to appoint the permanent staff below them or to make any structural or cultural changes. * "It's the equivalent of having a substitute teacher." -- First, as having been a substitute teacher in my past, I resent the disregard.. no disrespect.. NBC News has for the substitute teachers' classroom abilities. Secondly, what the heck have the JoKKKe Biden "handlers" been doing? It's not exactly like Biden has been out visiting the hot spots of domestic or International "situations" and not able to step into the East Room and present the names of who his "handlers" had picked out months ago.

From the "Foghorn Leghorn, "more mixed up than a feather in a whirlwind" department - Online story: " U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Sunday declared an “enduring and ironclad” American commitment to Israel, reinforcing support at a tense time in Israeli politics and amid questions about the Biden administration's efforts to revive nuclear negotiations with Israel's archenemy, Iran" -- "enduring".. yeah, it'll "endure" until Schmoozer and PeLOUSY open their mouths and start blowing hot air from the other direction...

From the "let's see how well Boston libs deal with "cancel culture" in it's own back yard" department - Online story: "The Indigenous Peoples Day Committee of Newton, Mass. is calling for the Boston Athletic Association to move the date of the Boston Marathon so it no longer conflicts with Indigenous Peoples Day. The group has started a Change.org petition aimed at pressuring the BAA to move the date. * The marathon, which typically takes place on the third Monday in April, was moved to Oct. 11 earlier this year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. That's the same date as Indigenous Peoples Day, and the Committee used the petition to detail its issues with the usurpation of a holiday their community has fought hard to celebrate." -- Wonder if naming Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren as "starter" will solve the issue?

WTVM-TV9 story: " COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - One person is dead after a shooting Sunday afternoon on Fairview Drive in Columbus. * 26-year-old Demetrius Daniels has been identified as the victim in the shooting, according to Muscogee Coroner Buddy Bryan. * Daniels was pronounced dead at approximately 4:04 p.m." -- That's at least number 23.. 26 in my and others book...and there was an earlier his month story about another shooting victim being in bad shape (but haven't SEEN an update.. Surely a recruiting trip to NYC or Portland, Oregon to talk with police officers abandoning both those Police Departments could be successful at bring a 100 or so to Columbus...

Sent the following to Delta Airlines Shareholder relations officer:

I wanted to buy my wife and I tickets to Denver to visit close friends who retired near there about 6 years ago.

Went to the Delta counter and decided on the flights that suited our plans, but the agent insisted on seeing our approved identification. I said we didn't think that was necessary as we were paying in cash. We were told, no ID, no tickets. Hmmm... I replied, you know, that does sounds reasonable as I feel the same way about showing my ID to vote, but since Delta doesn't seem to think Voter ID is necessary, it's pretty hypocritical for Delta to refuse us tickets because of us not wanting to show our IDs.

I'm taking bets as to whether Delta will even respond.. much less change its policies.... or apologize to Georgia...

From the "beating a dead horse" department - Online headline:Rep. Jordan slams Biden admin for limiting media's access to migrant facilities amid surge at border" -- Blah, Blah, Blah... yeah...yeah... MSM isn't gonna cover it anyway, so MSM doesn't mind a bit if doesn't get to see it.

Online headline/story: "Chris Wallace grills Buttigieg on false jobs claim: 'Why mislead people?' * Buttigieg, who overstated projected jobs created by over 16M, says 'I should have been more precise' * "Fox News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace on Sunday grilled Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for exaggerating the number of jobs that would be created by President Biden's $2 trillion-plus spending proposal. * Buttigieg then attempted to spin the projected number of jobs created by saying that there would be over 2 million more jobs created with the "infrastructure" plan than if there wasn't a plan." -- And come November 2022, Democrats will be blaming Republican objection for the reason 17 Million jobs were not being created.. and MSM will help spread he lies!

Online headline/story: "Georgians hail deal to open battery plant, creating 2,600 jobs * Two South Korean electric vehicle battery makers have settled a long-running trade dispute that will allow one of them to move ahead with plans to manufacture batteries in Commerce, Ga. * The $2.6 billion investment is expected to create 2,600 jobs." -- Hmmm... Commerce, GA to West Point, GA where some Kia vehicles (a South Korean Company, too) are built is 150 miles... Why wasn't Columbus in the consideration for the battery plant?

---
From the "political posturing at best" department - WTVM-TV9 headline/story: "Downtown Columbus VA clinic holds open house; offering more services for veterans * Before the Downtown VA Clinic on Comer Avenue in Columbus opened up, local veterans only could turn to the clinic on 13th Street for basic healthcare. * Many soldiers were left with the task of having to travel over 100 miles round-trip for healthcare services to Tuskegee, Dothan or Atlanta. * Congressman Sanford Bishop along with the secretary of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs chose this more centralized location after concerns were raised about locating the clinic in North Columbus along Mobley Road. * This clinic will be an addition to the 13th Street clinic, which is currently under renovation. The $64 million project is expected to be wrapped up in late 2022." -- Good grief! the new, state-of-the-art Veterans Clinic on Mobley Road is but 6 miles from the center of downtown Columbus... hardly a hardship location for Columbus's veterans! The sudden "development" at the old Health Department is at best a political payback for moving Columbus Health Department north to its new Veterans Parkway location.

Online headline/story: "Atlanta mayor signs executive order 'mitigating impact' of Georgia voting law * The mayor of Atlanta issued an executive order designed to limit the influence of Georgia's new voting law, which she says restricts the vote. * S.B. 202, known as the Election Integrity Act of 2021 , imposes voter identification requirements for absentee ballots, authorizes state officials to modify county elections boards, allows the use of ballot drop boxes while reducing the number of them, and criminalizes the act of politically affiliated persons approaching voters in line within 150 feet of a polling place to give them food and water." -- Mayor Bottoms got one thing right in her attack on SB 202... it does "restrict the vote" of non-qualified or fraudulent people! To be against this bill says you are FOR dishonest and fraudulent elections!

---
Heartbreaking online headline/story: "Mother arrested after 3 children found slain in Los Angeles * Police said initial reports suggested the children had been stabbed to death * The department received reports Carrillo was driving her car and was arrested in Tulare County, about 200 miles" -- How gruesome..how sad.. please pray.. Now, under the circumstances that exist in california .. as a "sanctuary" state... two questions that need answers are: Was the mother a legal American citizen? And since she was driving, was she registered to vote?

---
From the "one more reason to recall Gov Newsom" department - Online headline/story: "Feds charge 3 more in massive California unemployment fraud * The three are among a dozen charged just in the greater Los Angeles area * Much of that fraud has been in California, where state auditors in January said the troubled Employment Development Department approved at least $810 million in the names of roughly 45,000 inmates, some of them on death row. Inmates are not eligible for the benefits." -- Good grief! Another example of shoddy leadership and governance by Nancy PeLOUSY's nephew.. maybe we need to recall PeLOUSY as well...

---
From the "More MSM and Democrat bias." department - Online headline/story: "Senate filibuster's racist past fuels arguments for its end" -- The only thing that's "fueled" is the NEED to openly discuss the Jim Crow 1.0 ERA when the Democrats used the filibuster to suppress minorities. Filibuster is a tool to keep a simple majority from running amok!

Online headline: "Backlash over MLB’s All-Star Game move tells you more about Republicans than baseball" -- Yeah.. Republicans are in favor of maintaining a fair and honest voter registration system and election process for everyone, and Democrats want to win at any cost..

From the "another way to waste money" department - Online headline: "Biden calls for an extra $1.2 billion to help fund more tax audits of rich Americans" -- Good grief! Seriously? The "wealthy" (though I'm sure donors like Bezos, 6uckerberg, Soros and the like will get a pass)) already hire smarter CPAs than the IRS can afford, and they probably know the exemptions and deductions available, so what does Biden's "handlers" feel hey can find?

From the "Fred Sandford, "It's the BIG ONE, Elizabeth!" department - Online headline: "Chris Wallace: Biden administration 'doesn't have much of an answer' to border crisis" -- Of course they don't seem to have a solution... they actually LIKE what's going on... it diverts Fox from covering Cuomo, Blue State Covid ills, Hunter Biden, HR1, Shicago killings, Portland chaos, and Irani terrorism... I'm just surprised Chris Wallace would open this can of worms...

Hmmm... An unexplained wildfire in Arizona? How about the possibility of illegal aliens sneaking into our country....by setting a diversion...

"NO amendment in the Constitution is absolute"? Prez JoKKKE Biden actually said this.. while he was trying to defend his 2nd Amendment agenda! Why didn't Stacey Abrams or Al Sharlatan ask him about the 13th Amendment, or Women's Rights groups ask him about the 19th, or governors ask about the 10th? And MSM better start watching for changes in the 1st Amendment. Speaking of Amendments, I think it's time to invoke the 25th.

Online story: "Vladimir Putin was reportedly so angered when President Joe Biden called him a "killer" in his first sit-down interview after taking office, the Russian president left his quarantine, got a COVID vaccination and moved 28,000 Russian troops to the border with Ukraine. * Putin hen said, "You move Joe"! -- Good grief! The "Doomsday Clock" just leapt forward faster than Daylight Savings Time!

Online headline/story: "ICE gave $87M no-bid contract to business with Biden ties, raising conflict of interest questions * The Biden administration did not solicit bids for a multimillion contract to house migrant families in hotels and instead gave the massive contract to an organization whose leadership has ties to the White House, including one official who was on the Biden transition team. * Last month, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (an agency of the Department of Homeland Security) signed an $87 million contract to acquire and oversee an operation involving 1,200 hotel beds to house migrant families in Arizona and Texas. The contract was given to the nonprofit organization Family Endeavors, based out of San Antonio, Texas, which has no previous history as an ICE contractor. * But Family Endeavors does have a former senior official on the Biden transition team in its leadership: former ICE official Andrew Lorenzen-Strait" -- Good grief! That's $72,000.00 per bed and with no accountability!

From the "Foghorn Leghorn, "Course you know this means war." department - Online headline/story: "Black Americans Have Been Buying More Guns During The Pandemic * There was a 58.2% increase in gun purchases by Black men and women during the first half of 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic swept through America, according to the most recent survey of gun retailers by the National Shooting Sports Foundation. The gun industry group said it was the highest firearms sales increase of any demographic. * He said his Black customers often cited racial tension while purchasing guns last year. * He said that his current customers don’t talk as much about racial tension nowadays, but are still focused on self-protection." -- "current customers don’t talk as much about racial tension nowadays, but are still focused on self-protection"? You know what this means, don't you... it means law abiding Blacks are seeing what law abiding Whites have seen for decades... that government, especially in bigger cities, aren't able to... or just won't ... protect them form street thugs and violence, and with JoKKKe Biden at the helm, Blacks and Whites see legal ownership of guns, mutual defense of the 2nd Amendment, and WAR on DEMOCRATS at the polls are a big step toward true racial unity!

From the " and some Republicans need to read the GA bill, too" department - Online headline: "Lindsey Graham Slams Georgia Ban on Handing Voters Water: 'Doesn't Make a Whole Lot of Sense'" -- Good grief! Graham sounds like he believes in Prez JoKKKe Biden! All the law on this does is make it illegal for Party politicking inside the 150-foot circle at all polling places.. The law even reinforces that poll officials can supply water if hey choose to do so..

Hey, Columbus GA Council.. you already know that New York City police officer are leaving in droves and it would be a good place to recruit already trained officers to Columbus, but Portland, Oregon reports that almost 200 of it's police officers have left or been eliminated by "defunding", so that's another source of recruiting for more officers here.

Does Schumer feel that 3,000 plus American citizens being killed by a cowardly suicide attack not a day in "infamy"? Maybe we should designate a 4th Day in this group...

Online headline: "House GOP wants Biden admin to review NY's $2B fund for illegal immigrants: ‘Put American families first’ * Fund provides illegal immigrants who lost their job because of the pandemic up to $15,600" --- Good grief! First, it's a wasted effort to think Biden will do something about something he has no clue about, but a campaign in NYC reminding out-of-work Americans that illegal aliens who took their jobs are now getting $15,600.00 checks for not working those jobs they took from Americans might turn the "woke" into the "AWOKEN"!

Online headline: "Investigators seize documents from Trump executive's former daughter-in-law" -- Good grief!

Repeat item... Online headline/story: "YouTube pulls Florida governor's video, citing misinformation * The video of DeSantis’ roundtable discussion last month at the state Capitol in Tallahassee was removed on Wednesday because it violated the social media platform’s standards, YouTube spokesperson Elena Hernandez said. * “We removed AIER’s video because it included content that contradicts the consensus of local and global health authorities regarding the efficacy of masks to prevent the spread of Covid-19.”" -- "Contradicts the consensus"? Consensus is basically the "average" of opinions on both sides of an issue. That's the guideline You Tube, Facebook, and Twitter give when it censors a comment/video. Of course, You Tube, Facebook, and Twitter are ultra biased and only censor comments to the right of what it consider "consensus".. but not the comments to the left of "consensus".
