I found it both amazing and.. disconcerting .... about the "news" reports concerning Donald Trump's Rally in Georgia this past Saturday night... Sunday and early Monday reports mostly said "a few thousand " attended it... but the midday Monday, I head a GNN report that said upwards of 20,000 attended... you know... it's like most MSM media sources want to create negative news (FAKE NEWS) dissing Trump than report it factually.

Online headline: "Georgia legislature passes bill to boost gang prosecutions: -- Wait a minute! Is our legislature trying to tell us that the existing laws prohibited "gang prosecutions"? The only thing the GA Legislature needs to add is a committee to investigate any DA offices not prosecuting criminals to the best of their ability!

Online headline/story: "Federal Judge Finds Trump Likely Committed Crimes Over 2020 Election * A federal judge ruled on Monday that former President Donald Trump and a lawyer who advised him on how to overturn the 2020 election most likely committed felonies, including obstructing the work of Congress and conspiring to defraud the United States. * The judge’s comments marked a significant breakthrough for the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, which had laid out in a civil filing the crimes it believed Trump might have committed as it weighs making a criminal referral to the Justice Department. * “The illegality of the plan was obvious,” wrote Judge David O. Carter of the Central District of California. " -- Wait a minute... how does a case in Washington, DC get in the hands of a Fed Judge in cALIFORNIA! In fact, there's no mention that there has been any presentation of evidence in the Fed cALIFORNIA District, just these comments by a Bill Clinton appointed judge...

Hey, Columbus, GA... Can't you hear our current Mayor's campaign rhetoric when Kadie is heading to the banks of the Chattahoochee... "Our e-cow-nomy is on the mooooove!"

Yesterday, I mention how out-of-touch WTVM-TV9 was when it used 2020 murder numbers which were much less than the real... and available... 2021 numbers which show a 50+% INCREASE in homicides alone!. Further thinking about it, I've decoded that it may cause Columbus voters to be more informed as to how out-of-touch the current Council and Mayor have been at containing the escalation of violent crime in the past year.

Looks like we're going to get a surge of illegal aliens invading our Southern Border this week as the Title 42 deportation regulation gets trashed by expiration! We can expect more new invaders than Poland will get!

Wow! Did you see the latest poll of women in the US... Now only 44% of US women APPROVE of Resident Biden.... Guess America's women have realized that while they were offend by Trump's "tweets" they are more offend by what JoKKKe Biden is doing to their families, finances, and future!

Here it is the tail end of March... The new VA's Healthcare Clinic here in Columbus, GA was suppose to open in February... but it hasn't done so yet... and have you received your Home Covid-19 TEST? We haven't and we were told they'd be shipped in late January... Why do we elect politicians who promise us good government controlled healthcare?

Hey, Columbus, GA Council... My trash was picked up Monday, but I still don't have the new cans..so what do I put my trash in if I'm suppose to put my old empty cans out on the street on Saturday?

Update.. when I went to the street to take my trash out Monday, I found this flyer in my "newspaper/circular" drop box...

 

As you can see, it's the conformation about our old garbage can disposal..... but a few hours after I found this, our Homeowners' Association notified our neighborhood that the info was "moot" and that our old cans won't be picked up until June 4th. Hmmmmm, I thought... Our City Administration just delivered a flyer to possibly every home in Columbus with bogus information.. How many tax dollars did they spend on printing these flyers, and hen paying people to drive to every household mail box and put them in the "newspaper/circular" drop box?

Online headline: "NYPD seek suspect who assaulted 73-year-old man in attempted robbery" -- If BLM wants universal support, the BLM needs to drop it's Socialist agenda, and adopt a "STOP BLACK CRIMINALS IN THEIR TRACKS" movement.

Online headline: "President Biden on Monday unveiled a new minimum tax targeting billionaires as part of his 2023 budget request, proposing a 20% rate that would hit both the income and unrealized capital gains of the wealthiest Americans" -- Hmmmm... A Capital gain on unrealized gain... I guess that means that when stocks take a "hit", then those wealthy can take a "loss" without selling as well. Sounds to me, the real wealthy can use this little ploy to make stocks dip drastically on December 31st and get a loss to take on their next tax filings.

The budget does proposes $773 billion for the Department of Defense, but with the inflation rate Biden has created, this is not even a raise from last years budget.. Now, if you want to get the "specifics", go back and read the content above (but take an antacid pill first).. but the total pork projects "listed" total is $210.795 BILLION. and the listed ones are just the stuff the budget mentions to Climate Change and other liberal groupies to keep them "quiet" about the real damage this budget does to our economy and future...

Almost "instant replay" comment - WRBL-TV3 headline: "161 people detained, 75 guns seized over rowdy spring break weekend in Panama City Beach" -- Good grief!

The organizations are working together to open a new men’s shelter called “Freedom House.” -- First, congrats for an effective organization stepping forward.. and then ...Hmmmm... and then I guess ex-Mayor TT Tom-LYING-son's "End Homelessness in Ten Years" program has been officially declared a failure and put to rest.

WTVM-TV9 Editorial well worth reading! Headline/content: "WTVM Editorial 03/28/22: College is not for everyone * COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - One of the legacies of COVID is the damage done to students who had to stay home far too long, learning remotely instead of being in the classroom. * Now, in another disruption related to COVID, the University System of Georgia is waiving standardized tests for some students. * The state says students with greater than a 3.0 grade point average won’t have to take tests like the Scholastic Aptitude Test, better known as the SAT. * Of Georgia’s 26 universities, 23 will waive the test requirement. The exceptions are the three schools in highest demand: UGA, Georgia Tech and Georgia College and State University. * Not having to take the SATs could well boost enrollment at less popular schools. For some students, criteria other than test scores could be a better measure of their abilities to thrive in the college setting. Getting that opportunity could be a gift for many students who might perform poorly on tests but otherwise ace their classes. * Still, college is an expensive credential to obtain. * Many students will find themselves with debt when they graduate. That’s why more so now than ever, college may not be for everyone. * Technical schools can be a smart option for many. * And many industries and employers will even train new workers on the job, giving them real world, hands-on skills that will lead to financially profitable careers in fields like IT; plumbing and heating; sales; the military; and electrical work to name a few. * Above all, most employers want job candidates who can write effectively, read at a high level, and exhibit critical thinking skills. College may not always stress student achievement of those success factors as much as we might hope. * So let’s concentrate on teaching those valuable skills that directly translate into workplace success. * That way, no matter what college, career or trade a student chooses, they are equipped to meet the high demand for smart, capable workers - now and in the future." -- Spot on, Holly Steuart! The only thing not touched on  is that students who apply to our Universities/Colleges without talking the College Preparedness Exams SHOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR TAKING OUT STUDENT LOANS! Being able to do so will just encourage unaccredited and online "colleges to magnify their efforts to sign up unprepared students for loan pre-paid 2 and 4 year programs they won't ever complete...
