Columbus (GA) Ledger-Enquirer headline: "Beat the summer heat: These 12 Columbus-area water parks, splash pads are open now." -- This story should be about how the lacking of AVAILABLE water facilities are here in Columbus compared to Phenix City, AL.. and about how long Columbus families have suffered.. up to 5 years ... not having 3 neighborhood water sites in working.. usable.. condition.

Online "HeadLIE" : "Trump thought he would get away with it. The US Capitol attack hearings prove that’s not true " -- WRONG...The Democrat witch-hunt is not about Trump getting away with anything... it's about a miscarriage of justice initiated by he political agenda of Nancy PeLOUSY against every American citizen's Constitutional rights of not only a fair election, but the right of a fair trial...

My bride and I like restaurants, but I am not liking restaurant "suggested tips" that are based on adding the 9% sales tax number to the food/beverage figure BEFORE calculating a "suggested tip" .. Think I might start asking if a restaurant does this BEFORE ordering ...that way I know to leave and go elsewhere.

From the "What bias?" department - Who decided to let NBC carry the U S Open golf event? The first thing they talked about was whatta great guy Rory McIlroy is for speaking out against the Saudi "LIV Golf Series"... This is the same Prick McIlroy who made such a ass of himself in his 2016 Ryder Cup match against Patrick Reed. That, plus combined with NBC supporting Resident Biden's groveling trip to Saudi Arabia coming up, just demonstrates the fickleness and political bias of liberal media...

Online headline: "Hunter Biden's ex-wife claims obliviousness to emails, business dealings: 'I had my head buried in the sand'" -- Hmmm... "head buried in the sand"?

Online headline: "Migrant encounters at southern border hit new record in May, as numbers keep rising" -- And the Title 42 revocation has not happened.. but I wonder how so many THOUSANDS of "oppressed"illegal aliens from Central and South America know about Title 42.. none of these countries give it's citizens access to news unless the governments WANT them to know about it so their dregs and criminals will bring heir ills to America...

WTVM-TV9 headline: "Columbus homicide rate down 50% compared to June 2021" -- Hmmm.. but it's accelerating from the early months of 2022, and.. and even getting back to pre-2021 number of homicides is not very comforting...down to a previous record level isn't really that much of an improvement.

---
WTVM-TV9 headline: "Proposed legislation by Senator Raphael Warnock could make Columbus as technology hub" -- Aside from being a "political fluff piece".. no first year Democrat Senator gets to "propose anything than=t actually gets to the floor of the Senate... more complex technology degrees require top level reading skills to attain AND utilize, and .. unfortunately.. reading competency is not a high priority of the public school curriculum...

A must read for very MCSB member and MCSD curriculum specialists: Online headline/story: "On kids and reading, William Bennett shares 'incredible literacy success' in Montgomery, Alabama * Former Secretary of Education identifies an Alabama school with a culture of excellence * "If children are not reading by the third grade," he said, "their life chances are radically diminished." * He said that instead, "I'd rather focus on something far more important. Success." * Bennett referenced three significant numbers: 18, 48 and 62.

From the "how convenient" department - Online headline/story: "Sen. Warnock omits key details on brother’s past conviction he blames on ‘pandemic of racism’ * Sen. Warnock omits key details on brother’s past conviction he blames on ‘pandemic of racism’ *
Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, who repeatedly points to the “pandemic of racism” when speaking of his brother’s life sentence, conveniently has been leaving out details that his brother was a corrupt police officer convicted of facilitating a cross-country drug trafficking operation, a report says. * The Washington Free Beacon reported that Warnock’s half-brother, Keith Coleman, a former officer for the Savannah Police Department, was convicted on Nov. 21, 1997, of conspiring and attempting to aid and abet the distribution of cocaine and carrying a firearm during a drug trafficking offense.
* The newspaper cited recently obtained records that detail how prosecutors painted Coleman as the ringleader in an illegal scheme in which he used his police-issued firearm and department vehicle to escort purported drug dealers as they drove kilos of cocaine to airports, hotels and warehouses. * But in public statements, especially since the killing of George Floyd in May 2020, Warnock has left out the detail that his brother served in law enforcement in claiming Coleman was a “first-time” and “nonviolent” drug offender sentenced to life in prison because of the “pandemic of racism.” -- The half... the partial.. truth is the worst lie of all!

WRBL-TV3 story: " Republican Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker acknowledged on Wednesday that he has a 10-year-old son whom he has not previously mentioned publicly, a disclosure that draws renewed attention to his previous outspoken calls for Black men to play an active role in the lives of their children. * Walker’s campaign confirmed the existence of his son after The Daily Beast reported Tuesday that the boy’s mother had taken Walker to court in 2014 to establish paternity and to get child support payments. * “Herschel had a child years ago when he wasn’t married. He’s supported the child and continues to do so,” Walker campaign manager Scott Paradise said in a statement Wednesday. “He’s proud of his children. To suggest that Herschel is ‘hiding’ the child because he hasn’t used him in his political campaign is offensive and absurd.”" - Hmmm... I think it's time to delve into the private and family ...uh.. ex-family.... life of Warnock...

From the "keeping our fingers crossed" department - Online headline: "New Columbus VA clinic on River Road set to open in July" -- Hmm.. guess 5 or 6 months late is good for a mainly "BLUE City"...
