WTVM-TV9 Online headline/story: "Mayoral candidate sues city of Columbus * Columbus Mayoral Candidate John Anker is suing the city of Columbus, saying he did not receive information formally requested about a recent jail audit. * The Columbus mayoral hopeful filed the lawsuit late Friday against the city of Columbus after he said the city refused to honor his more than six requests for information on the most recent jail audit. * Anker showed paperwork that indicated he requested the information on April 3 and still has not received it. * “It’s been 19 months. That’s the first thing. It’s making my hair stand on top of my head. Second thing an audit normally takes seven months to complete, it’s been 19 months. The third thing is they’ve never disclosed it,” explained Anker. * Anker said, “The citizens of Columbus deserve to know the truth.” * Mayor Skip Henderson says the lawsuit is baseless." -- "Mayor Skip Henderson says the lawsuit is baseless."? I agree with Anker on this, too.. 19 months seems a LONG time to conduct an audit on a vital department .. especially considering the soaring crime rates that have occurred under Henderson's term.. Oh... Mayor.. when were you planning to release it... May 25th... the day after the election?

I remember 1962 vividly... Russia exacerbated both the "cold war" and the possibility of a nuclear war.."spy pictures" taken from from "space" showing probable Russian nuclear missiles in Cuban ports. Fear of another nuclear war accelerated the memories caused by the two nuclear bombs we dropped on Japan that ended their aggression. Back yard bomb shelters became the focus of everyday conversations... the Civil Defense agency sprang back to life.. parking garages and business basements became public shelter sites in case of any nuclear bomb activity (my family's Downtown store basement area became designated as such)... Bomb shelter businesses sprung up... there was panic in the air.. slowly, Khrushchev and Kennedy realized that the further escalation of "insanity" would...could ..cause disaster for both countries... and every county in between.. then the atmosphere returned to sanity. Now, another nuclear situation is bubbling... and this time, more governments.. both democracies and Socialist/terrorist run governments have nuclear weapons... yet, so far, I haven't seen nor heard an ad for Backyard Bomb Shelters. I guess today's world recognizes the futility of such.

Liberals have a warped concept of "affordable housing"...America is currently under a shortage of available homes for sale, and the liberals' induced inflation rate is not only driving up prices of old homes and new construction, but the soaring rate is also driving up MORTGAGE RATES.. Not only do the homes sold and built become less affordable, the higher mortgage rates also drive up the payments...

 

Also remember how the Democrats' Dodd-Frank Act, which curtailed prudent mortgage loan verifications, drove up home prices through the roof, and when the the libs backed federal backed "mortgage investment packages" collapsed, the housing market TANKED. Now, what do you think will happen .. and I'm looking at current "affordable housing projects" here in Columbus, GA as well.. Those "$120K homes" are now looking at coming in at a minimum in the $155K-$160K range in an area of $75K-$90K housing so when the "new" "affordable Houses" re-hit the market, most owners will be "under water" on their "new affordable homes"...

Disney just took it on the chin from Florida! If Disney just stayed in it's family oriented world, nothing would be changing, but when Disney decided to join the extreme left on gender issues, Disney basically estranged itself from it's business model of Family Friendly. .. and Florida WOKE UP. Disney is being stripped of it's self governance, and now will have to comply with state and local government regulations, laws, ... and pay property taxes! Hope the shareholders have a recall election for officers and board members.

Columbus Council District 9 At-Large has one candidate that works for a Hawaii addressed company, .. has a Campaign Committee Chairperson who lives in Phenix City, and two different Columbus rental residential addresses on separate disclosure documents, and another District 9 candidate lists property owned in Phenix City, AL; works in Phenix City, AL, and uses a Columbus P.O. Box plus an apartment as her qualifying address on separate documents.. another D9 candidate .. the incumbent at that claims to be responsive and transparent wrote me nearly 2 years ago saying "Please remove my name and address from this mass mailing. I no longer wish to receive this type communication from you." .. Of course, I reminded her that since she was an elected official and I am a tax paying citizen of Columbus I would do no such thing.. if she didn't want to read them, that was her choice, but as a registered voter, I would continue to send my e-mails to her.. Haven't heard from her since.. In fact.. my wife and one of my daughters just got her "voter for me" flyer at our home address... but I didn't.. Fortunately.. we have a businessman with public and private experience wanting to help Columbus who's running... Doug Redmond!

Online headline: "LA homeless director resigns over pay dispute as tens of thousands on streets: 'We have designed the crisis' * Los Angeles homeless services director says 'homelessness is a crisis we made'" -- Hmmm.... "a crisis we made"? Crises are the liberals' campaign agenda/plan! Rahm Emanuel was so prophetic when he was quoted saying, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste," he said. Why? Because "it's an opportunity to do things you could not do before." Look at the crises the Democrats are stirring up now.. our border, drug deaths, homelessness, education curriculum, joblessness, pandemic viruses, transgender sports crossovers, gas shortages... The only difference now than then is that the American voter is going to "pin that tail" on Democrat Jackasses!

From the "Fred Sanford, 'It's the BIG ONE, Elizabeth, I'm coming to see you!" department - Online story: "Twitter employees have reportedly struggled with the news that the company is on the verge of being required by Tesla CEO Elon Musk with some of them too “shocked” to speak over the billionaire’s plans to promote freedom of speech." -- Good grief!

From the "hopefully.. the tide IS turning" department - Online headline/story: "Jack Brewer demands Joy Reid apologize for 'child abuse' remark or he'll file defamation suit
* 'Joy Reid messed with the wrong boys,' Brewer says * Former NFL football player and philanthropist Jack Brewer is demanding MSNBC host Joy Reid apologize for her tweet claiming a photo of young Black boys attending an event where Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an anti-critical race theory bill "is tantamount to child abuse." Brewer explained the boys in the photo are students of his education and mentorship programs and were well aware of why they were attending the event. " -- You know.. when the "pendulum" swings, it takes a long time for it to stop at the middle point of it's cycle.. looks like the liberals' pendulum is correcting itself to regain sanity!

Resident Biden just commuted 75 sentences for "non-violent drug crimes" (that's an oxymoron in itself) because today's sentences for the same crimes are much lighter.. That's just back-Jackass-wards! What JoKKKe Biden should be doing is overriding the consequentless sentences given today with increasing today's sentences to equal sentences of the past... that's what helped keep CRIME and RECIDIVISM in check!

Bezos and Musk have been taking shots at one another for years * "Interesting question. Did the Chinese government just gain a bit of leverage of the town square?"

The last thing China wants is for open talk about the China-Biden Family connections!

Was just reading a story about a severe water shortage in LA County, california.. I said it affects 19 Million people... about 40% of california's population. That peaked my interest because the 2020 Census number for california was 39 Million, and now it's claiming to have 47.5 Million or so.. in fact.. I found 3 different numbers for LA County as well.. 10 Million... 12 Million.. and now 19 Million.. I can only imagine that the increases have occurred because of the Biden Border policy!

Online headline/story: "$3 billion back in the pockets of American consumers' *
The Biden administration is raising energy efficiency standards for lightbulbs, a move it says will lower consumers’ electricity bills. * Phasing out inefficient bulbs touted by Trump * The Department of Energy instituted two new rules Monday that will require manufacturers to sell only energy-efficient lightbulbs, such as compact fluorescent and LED bulbs. * The DOE said the move will save consumers money on their electricity bills, and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from power plants that contribute to climate change. It will also spell the end for incandescent bulbs, which were championed by former President Donald Trump." -- Good grief.. The LED I understand, but the fluorescent bulbs "flicker" and are proven distractions for brain activities.. especially in school aged children.. Now.. How "great" is saving "$3 Billion" when consumers have to spend more than that on the new LED bulbs in order to get those "savings"?
