Well, the Democrats are admitting mid-term defeat. Justice Stephen Breyer has announced his impending retirement later this year. The Dems realize that the only way to get a new liberal agenda nominee confirmed is to nominate and conduct Senate confirmation approval is get it done before the mid-term election while they still have enough votes so that Kamala Harris can break the tie. Of course, even Schumer .. at this point... cannot claim he can deliver Senators Manchin's and Sinema's votes because of the way the Democrats have treated them this year. If there's one good aspect about this, it's that if the "Handlers" are thinking about nominating Chuckles Harris, she'd have to resign as VP, and it may be tough for another progressive to be approved to replace her as VP, which means a more moderate VP might ruin his/her future career by breaking the Senate tie vote if Manchin and Sinema did the Democrat Party bidding.

---
Hmmm.. you know, maybe it will be good if Biden nominated Chuckles Harris to replace Breyer. What an opportunity it would be for Republican Senators to grill her, under oath, over her actions and inaction of carrying out her sworn oath to defend our Constitution and our borders.

---
Think about this....Breyer's retirement announcement, combined with JoKKKe Biden's campaign pledge to nominate a Black women may cause a LGBTQ+ stampede for male judges of all races and for non-Black females to proclaim they are transracial and/or transgenders to make themselves eligible. Hey! since Bill Clinton declared he was the first Black President.. wanna bet the Hellary claims she could be the first Black female Justice?

---
Online headline: "Breyer was relentlessly bullied by the left to get out before Republicans seize the Senate" -- If this is true... then Breyer needs to retire immediately! In essence, he would have admitted that he has violated his oath of office to opine on the Constitution by siding with a political agenda versus the intent of the Founding Fathers, and the American people's future.

You know, if Resident Biden keeps his campaign, vote-buying promise specifying that a Supreme Court Justice's race and color are more important than character and qualifications, a Black female nominee of real character and qualification ought reject Biden's nomination offer...

---
You know, if Biden does nominate a Black woman of character and qualification, ALL Republican Senators should vote for her approval.. that would blow the "you-know-it's-coming" Democrats' mid-term election ploy to further label ALL Republicans as racists...

Online headline/story: "Muscogee County redistricting lines denied by the state, what now? * The biggest changes the state made were with Midland Commons and the Columbus regional airport. * The state reapportionment office says their reason for these changes were to avoid precinct split, avoid voter anonymity issues, and use consistent geography. * These changes did not make sense to council members, as the airport does not have any residents or voters." -- What's the issue? What I see is who represents the Airport and Midland Mall issues..other than it might determine who Airport and Midland Commons executives donate money to get elected in that district...

Online "headLIE"/story: "Two popular McDonald’s breakfast items are being discontinued permanently * its breakfast bagels and breakfast wraps will not be returning to stores." -- Good grief!

Even nail clippers are considered weapons by some... but yesterday evening, I received an update from a Hardaway High parent who confirmed it WAS A GUN... guess some school officials no longer "feel" GUNS are a "threat to safety and welfare of students and staff".

The installation is estimated to cost $8 million and must be approved by Columbus Council." -- Wow! I imagine this "found money" must be part of the money Biden's give-away has provided, and regardless of intent to monitor crime, I imagine, eventually, these will probably end up sending automatic traffic violation tickets. Hey... Council.. that money could have fixed some more of our streets!

WRBL-TV3 headline/story: "Group seeks to honor the “average” student * Scholarship recognizes a student who may not stand out academically but has gifts and potential.

Investigations have repeatedly debunked allegations of fraud in the 2020 election." -- "The vulnerability hasn’t been exploited in an election so far, according to examinations of the state’s Dominion Voting Systems equipment, but election security experts say it’s a risk for upcoming elections this year. Investigations have repeatedly debunked allegations of fraud in the 2020 election."? Good grief!
