It was a glorious day when it was announced that a new VA Clinic would be built here in Columbus, GA, home of Ft. Benning (for now), to serve the many retired veterans that loved the area and chose to retire here and in nearby communities. It was another glorious day when a decision was made to name the new clinic after a retired Colonel, Bob Poydasheff, who also became a mayor of our City when he left the service...We watched it being built, and were excited when it appeared to be finished 3 or so months ahead of it's February target for opening...We anxiously awaited it's ceremonial opening... but February passed.. hen March passed.. and now April is at it's end... and no word of "why" has been made... Recently we heard the Biden/White House Handlers' Administration was planning to send VA doctors to our Southern Border to serve illegal aliens before they were dispersed across our nation.. this may or may not happen, but regardless.. our veterans are being .. at best... DISSED.... and feeling the pain of not being taken care of by the Democratic Party Congress.... Remember this when we vote next month.. and next November.

Speaking of elections.. We have a 435 voting Representatives in the US... We have 330,000,000 people which means there's one Representative for an average of 758,621 people in America.. Now, using he "accepted number" (which is probably WAY LOW), there are 11,000,000 illegal aliens that are counted in the 330,000,000 number counted in our last Census.. and because he question about whether anybody counted in the Census was/wasn't a US citizen, it means that there are enough illegal aliens in America that helped determine the assignment of 14-plus (over 3%) US Representatives that decide how tax dollars are allocated and spent.. Just think about 14 less Representatives being Blue State Democrats today...

---
In the Senate, it's even more alarming.. with only 100 Senators, each one basically "speaks for 3,300,000 people... and just think about what it would mean.. today.. if 4 more Senators (4%) were more concerned about America's needs and future.

The Republicans need to back off from ranting about all of Biden's flaws, issues, and dementia problems! The "attacks/reminders" aren't important for the upcoming party primaries, so badgering him now will make Fall claims prior to the General Election to be "old news" and not so effective since Republicans are wearing out their voters tolerances.

After watching a few minutes of the Albright Memorial, I've about decided we'd be better off if the cameras were to focus on the Teleprompters so we could read it smoothly rather than have Resident Biden reading it awkwardly to us.

From the suspicions confirmed" department - Online story: "The U.S. and Russia have carried out a prisoner swap Wednesday, exchanging Trevor Reed -- a Marine veteran jailed in Moscow -- for a Russian drug trafficker who has been serving time in America, a senior U.S. official told the Associated Press." -- Hmmmm... following the pardon/commutation of 78 drug sentences in America ... we must assume that Resident Biden's "handlers" love to put drug dealers back out on the streets.. On the other hand.. it looks like the White House "handlers" don't share the urgency on getting Brittney Griner, a WNBA female, released from the Russians' Jail system after Russian officials said they found vape cartridges containing oil derived from cannabis in her luggage at an airport near Moscow..

---
Online headline: "MSNBC’s Joy Reid has lowest-rated month ever, sheds 51% of debut audience from 2020" -- Hmmm.. paraphrasing an old short story about Casey striking out, I guess we can say "There's less "mud" in "Joy-ville"...

Online headline: "Chicago Mayor Lightfoot's $12.5 million giveaway of gas cards with her name blasted as re-election 'gimmick'" -- You know.. there's some sorta abuse.. both of misuse of tax payers' money and election campaign laws..

With Newsom's history, any new roads will also be TOLL ROADS.... Looks... Sounds... like Newsom wants to make sure no more coastal californians can afford enough gas to be able to leave the state for tax relief...

From the "it must be a new Clinton definition" department - Online headline/story: "The Department of Education is under fire after a viral video showed a biology teacher claiming children should be taught that ovaries, as opposed to women, produce eggs in order to support transgender and non-binary students. * The popular Twitter account Libs of TikTok posted a video of what it said is a Department of Education a training session for teachers to learn how to be inclusive of transgender and non-binary K-12 students. * The person speaking on the video is identified as Sam Long and makes it clear he prefers he/him pronouns. " -- Excuse me.. Department of Education Secretary Miguel Cardona.. you, too, Sam Long... you're abusing children by teaching a LIE.. The truth.. the only truth... is that no biological males produce "egg", and both Cardona and Long need to be immediately separated from serving in the Education of our children/grandchildren.

Online headline: "Lily Peters killing: Judge sets $1M bond for 14-year-old suspect charged as adult in girl's shocking death" -- Good grief! How does the headline writer not state that Lily Peters, the girl this monster raped and killed, was 10 years old! How come the monster's name was not used! Anything short of an irrevocable death sentence will be an injustice! Oh.. and the monster's parents should have to.... heck, they should WANT to... push the button to initiate the death sequence!

WTVM-TV9 headline/story: "Columbus High School ranks number two as best high school in Georgia * Nationally, Columbus High ranked 83rd with an overall score of 99.54 out of 100." -- While this is definitely a "plum" for our City and school system... what about the rest of the story? The story about the worst schools in our community.. you know. the ones where students are graduated.. or get an annual grade promotion.. without being able to read at a grade appropriate level to insure they can enter adulthood with life survival skills? Let's puff out our chests for Columbus High for a minute... then dig in our heels to raise up the rest of our schools ...

WTVM-TV9 headline/story: "Dark money group funnels $1.5M into Ala. Governor’s race * BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Millions of dollars are flowing into the state ahead of the upcoming primary election. Some estimate the race to clinch the Republican nomination for governor could exceed state fundraising records. So far, the crowded field’s raised more than $20 million combined." -- "Millions of dollars are flowing into the state"? This is exactly what's wrong with our system... no one...and no organization that consists of ineligible to vote in a particular race... should be able to donate to candidates in other states/cities/districts they don't live in.. It's the most blatant form of election interference that exists yet it's been approved to do so in court.... so far......

Online headline/story: "Biden to tour weapons plant in Alabama visit * The president will travel to Alabama on Tuesday to visit the Lockheed Martin Facility in Troy where weapons systems, including the Javelin anti-tank missile, are made" -- Good grief!Why isn't he traveling to our Southern Border to see how Javelins can be used to stop the flow of illegal alien invaders so "the Wall" can be finished?

Meanwhile, "back at the City of Columbus where the bodies keep piling up! All of Columbus needs leadership!" department - WTVM-TV9 online headline/story: "Suspect arrested after shooting death on Olde Town Dr. in Columbus * Upon arrival, officers discovered a male suffering from gunshot wounds lying on the ground outside his vehicle. * EMS arrived after and transported the victim to Piedmont Midtown Hospital. Unfortunately, he later died from his injuries." Hey Columbus... you too Mayor/Council.. this ain't Cusseta Road or. for that matter, the Wilson Apartments' area...Now.. will some brave candidate running for re-election show us your desire to be transparent and tell us how many homicides this makes for 2022?

WTVM-TV9 headline/story: "Greater Columbus Chamber of Commerce holds State of the City address * In Mayor Skip Henderson’s address, he spoke about what the city has done so far. * He said there’s the good and the bad, but the city is in good standing. He also spoke about where we would like the city to go. * “The one thing that I want people to leave here with is the state of the city here in Columbus, Ga. is very strong that doesn’t mean we don’t have problem,” said the mayor. *It’s less than a month before Election Day." -- Two things.. why was a taxpayer funded entity allowed to host a candidate for Mayor without inviting other mayoral candidates an opportunity to speak as well? Question 2, since it was brought out ahead of time, why wasn't the subject of the City's "Jail Audit" get aired to the public prior to the upcoming election?

After the god-awful runoff war between Republicans Kemp and Cagle in 2018 almost got Stacey Abrams elected in GA, you would think Gov Kemp would realize what a mudslinging campaign against any other Republican candidate could do in 2022. Why is he engaging in another one of these which could catapult Abrams into the GA Governor's office?

Received this e-mail yesterday: "President Trump’s MAJORITY is ON THE LINE, Hal. This is your final chance to take our critical poll. Thank you,

NRSC

P.S. If you don’t submit your response TODAY, we’ll assume you’ve turned your back on President Trump and your Party. -- Hmmm... Personally, I've maintained my support of President Trump and his policies ... but it's less than conservative Republican leaders like McConnell and McCarthy that have been wishy-washy.. Hmmm... maybe we need to scrutinize politicians who's names begin with McC as to real loyalty.

Online headline: "Boston police up patrols for notorious homeless open-air drug market after 5 stabbings in 3 days * Police say one man stabbed another for allegedly swiping ‘his gram,’ while another slashing happened ‘over $30’: -- Hmmm... yesterday, I stumbled across something about the Mayflower I do not ever recall being taught in school.. The Mayflower was actually trying to get to Jamestown in Virginia, but weather blew it so far offline, that ii landed in what now is the state of Massachusetts... now it makes sense of what we see about Massachusetts... here we are 400 years later, and it's still WAY OFF course from reality....

Online headline: "San Francisco activist says, ‘we’re not going to move, we’re fighting,’ as drugs and crime consume Bay Area * Former Republican candidate for San Francisco mayor tours Tenderloin District with Fox News" -- Hmmm... and to show Richie Greenberg how fruitless Governor Newsom feels his argument will be, Newsom took steps to make sure Greenberg doesn't have enough gas to leave the area by raising the california gas tax in the middle of supply shortages and hyper-inflation...

How did the airline industry get away with this until now! The Feds would have arrested my whole family if we had not paid our employees who were at work before we let customers come in!
