From the "how can we spin this quietly" department - AP Online headline: "Japan's former prime minister, Shinzo Abe, dies after being shot" -- "after being shot"? Good grief! A conservative Japanese political figure was ASSASSINATED! The AP YAWNED!

After thinking more about finding out WHY our president is selling our Strategic Oil Reserves... not because it's to China, but because he's selling our "rainy day savings" to an avowed Political and economic enemy! This should be treated as TREASON!

From the "move on folks, there's nothing to see here" department - Online story: "The commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has asked the tax agency's internal watchdog to examine the events surrounding rare audits of former FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who both were frequent targets of former President Donald Trump, the agency said Thursday. * Both Comey and McCabe came under heated attacks by Trump while at the FBI over its investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election. * "If you think the audit of Donald Trump's purported enemies was a random act of God then I have a bridge in North Jersey I'd like to sell you," (Rep. Bill Pascrell, a New Jersey Democrat) said in a statement." -- And next week,, maybe next month... we'll hear that Comey and McCabe have been exonerated....after all, what possible incentive could the two have had to conduct an investigation and request FISA Warrants based on a bogus "dossier" funded by Hellary .. both of which continued after knowledge of this was uncovered...

Online headline: "A law protecting abortion access appears likely to reach the Michigan ballot this fall" -- Hmmm... Michigan gets it.. This is exactly what THIS US Supreme Court said was the right course of action which the 1973 US Supreme Court took away from the individual states!

Online headline: "Rafael Nadal withdraws from Wimbledon semifinal vs. Nick Kyrgios with injury" -- I'm sure Nadal did the right thing for his own health and future, but Wimbledon .. and Professional Tennis took a worse blow in the abdominal.... Kyrgios is not the icon Wimbledon nor the PTPA wants to promote on the International scene.

WTVM-TV9 headline/story: "Muscogee County employee arrested for theft of over $10,000 in property tax payments * Ayoina Shipp was arrested on July 7 and charged with felony theft by conversion." -- Hope this isn't another "tip of the iceberg" type discovery... we just had such with a Court Clerk embezzling some $5+ million dollars in court fees.. and most of that still hasn't been accounted for...

As body counts start to rise again here in Columbus, GA, why isn't there a file at either the Columbus Police Department or Coroner Office that lists up[-to-date shooting reports with number wounded and number of homicides?

Online "headLIE"/story: "CBP proposes discipline for Texas agents accused of 'whipping' Haitian migrants * Some top Democrats mistook the use of the border agents' reins to control their horses and said the Haitian migrants were being 'whipped' * The U.S. Customs and Border Protection has sent out disciplinary proposals for border agents on horseback accused of "whipping" Haitian migrants in Texas last year, an event that caused a firestorm among lawmakers in Washington, D.C. * Details of the punishments have not been released but CBP is expected to imminently announce the results of the administrative investigation, a source told Fox News." -- Good grief! The CBP is not proposing such... The White House "handlers" or DHS head, :My Yapping Yorkie" Mayorkas may have written a "discipline press release{ on CBP banner-ed stationary. but you can bet no active CBP manager would ever do so on his/her own...

Suspicions confirmed... We "knew" leftist protesters were "paid", but a recent incident of a highway blockage by sit-in protesters taped keeping a paroled truck driver from getting to his job which risked his be parole status. We've watched so many Antifa, abortion, and Move on protests and "knew" they were paid, but this was admitted.. I guess when Resident Biden talks about jobs he's "created", he's talking about these jobs!

Unbelievable! Well, at least it use to be unbelievable....the Manhattan (NYC) DA has charged a convenience store clerk who was attacked by an ex-con who stabbed and killed the thug while defending his own life....and it was caught on security video! I think it's time to eliminate DA's from being elected...let's get them appointed by the Mayor of cities and towns.. DA actions/policies would be more inline with the policies of the mayor who's generally the Chief Safety Officer of communities and is more accountable to the people!

From the "suspicions confirmed" department - Online headline/story: "Red states like Florida and Texas are doing better in the post-pandemic economy than blue states, WSJ reports * Since the pandemic, many Americans have moved to red states from blue states like New York and California * Josh Mitchell pointed to a Brookings Institution study which showed that red states have added 341,000 jobs since February 2020. "Since February 2020, the month before the pandemic began, the share of all U.S. jobs located in red states has grown by more than half a percentage point, according to an analysis of Labor Department data by the Brookings Institution think tank," he wrote. * "Red states have added 341,000 jobs over that time, while blue states were still short 1.3 million jobs as of May." * Mitchell cited several high-profile companies, including Citadel and Caterpillar, as organizations moving from blue to red states." -- And definitely don't forget TESLA moving from california to Texas!
