From the "point to ponder" department - No wonder our inflation rate soars every time Democrats blow into power and start talking about "what could be" if we blow up our economy with "pie in the sky taxes and spending" yet few .. if any .. have any past business experience or success that demonstrates they have any idea that they know anything about being successful...

From the "Bias? What bias?" department - Online headline: "3 Arkansas officers suspended after video captures beating" -- We see a few headlines like this, that, while warranted for investigation, often are procedural, yet we don't see ENOUGH headlines such as, "District Attorney/Mayor/Governor (or even an entire Council) arrested for Reducing Charges of Felons" or "District Attorney/Mayor/Governor (or even an entire Council) arrested for Reduced/No Cash Bail for recidivist felons", and... it's the arrest of irresponsible elected officials that will help the most at reducing our crime rates!

The next time you hear anyone screaming their opinion about when life begins is more important than God's, cite Jeremiah 1:5....."Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you"... Do not elect politicians who feel their opinion is more important than God's!

---
From the "Bias? What bias?" department - Online ABC headline: "Liz Cheney on stopping Trump, Pence testifying on Jan. 6: 'This Week' exclusive" -- Good grief! If Liz Cheney was an "in-the-know" Republican who mattered, ABC wouldn't even THINK about "reporting" anything she said!

Alec Baldwin is a POS! Of course, he was that BEFORE he shot and killed Halyna Hutchins, too, but he's just elevated himself to new levels of scum beneath the barrel...Now he says he won't be "criminally charged" because... because he hired a PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR! Well, whoop-de-doo! What is a private investigator's "job"... How about arranging pieces of a puzzle so that whoever hired him/her will look better...What's even worse is Baldwin stating " to CNN that there are two people responsible for Halyna's death: assistant director Dave Halls, who handed him the gun and declared it "cold" meaning it had no live ammo, and Hannah Gutierrez Reed, who served as the armorer and props assistant on the film.", followed up with: ""Why didn't [Gutierrez Reed] check that bullet? Why didn't Halls obey her?" Baldwin asked. "Why did he give me the gun? Why didn't he check? Why did he tell the crew [it was a cold gun]?"" -- Good grief! My premise in this item was to show what a POS Baldwin has been, built in closing, he's even a BIGGER POS than first believed.. Hey Baldwin... where.. in the chain of control/command of the gun did YOU check the status of it!

Online story: "Although the majority of cases have been in men who have sex with men, at least eight children across the U.S. have reportedly tested positive for monkeypox" -- Hmmm... and have all the adults, regardless of sex, around those 8 children been screened and investigated?

---
From the "Red Allen, "Well.. how about that!" department - Online headline: "The casualties of California legalizing pot: Growers who went legal" -- Wow! In a nutshell...it's not law enforcement by law enforcement that has brought small marijuana businesses to their knees.. it's law enforcement by Tax enforcers that has done so! Now, with california's "share" of 87,000 NEW "armed and dangerous" IRS agents, california users may just have to go back to the "olden days" when it all came from Mexico..

Online headline/story: "New York Times report: ‘American Dream’ is being ‘distorted — particularly by Republicans of color’ * Ulloa said Republicans are trying to gain votes by arguing the American dream is under attack * The New York Times reporter Jazmine Ulloa published an article Sunday about how the term "American dream" has become distorted by minority Republicans. * "For decades, politicians have used the phrase 'the American dream' to describe a promise of economic opportunity and upward mobility, of prosperity through hard work," she wrote. " -- Wow! I guess Ms. Ulloa's definition of the "American Dream" was the one that Bill Clinton wrote for the Democrat Platform... that "American Democrats dream of government control of their lives and rights."

---
How often have you been bombarded with the claim that Trump supporters have tried to turn the American Flag into the symbol of the FAR RIGHT? Well, in actuality, Trump supporters think of the American Flag as the symbol for a great America.. it's the Democrats that want to limit the symbolism of the our Flag as a symbol for anybody that doesn't think like them...

---
From the "deja p-e-e-w-w-w-w" department - Online headline: "Dennis Rodman says he received permission to go to Russia to advocate for Brittney Griner's release from jail." -- Good grief! Remember when Rodman was the "delegate" of Obama/Biden to Kim Jong Oooops in North Korea... because neither Obama or Biden was as well equipped for representing America? Well, here we go again... Can you imagine the gaffes that would come out of a JoKKKe Biden/Chuckles Harris meeting with Putin?

---
Online story: "The daughter of a Russian nationalist ideologist who is often referred to as “Putin's brain” was killed when her car exploded on the outskirts of Moscow, officials said Sunday. * Some Russian media reports cited witnesses as saying the vehicle belonged to her father and that he had decided at the last minute to travel in another car. * Denis Pushilin, president of the separatist Donetsk People's Republic that is a focus of Russia's fighting in Ukraine, blamed it on “terrorists of the Ukrainian regime, trying to kill Alexander Dugin." -- Hmmm.. Sometime today, we'll probably see a revision of Resident Biden memes saying, "I did this!" You know, if I had decided to use another car, I'd never had allowed my daughter to ride in the one I was suppose to use.

---
Why are Republicans flocking to the Iowa State Fair... Senator Grassley doesn't NEED these grandstanders to get re-elected, but why hasn't McConnell sent them to states where new or underdog Republicans are running, and try to help elect/re-elect them?

---
Has the White House declared "martial law" in Texas? I ask because the federal controlled CBP is being ordered to overrule the Texas National Guard sent by Governor Abbott to guard a locked gate at a fence on private property, and allowing illegal aliens onto private property. Biden's policy at open areas and gaps are one thing, but to override the head of Texas government trying to carry out his sworn duty to protect Texas citizens is basically TREASONOUS!

You know, if Resident Biden is not going to help build the WALL in Texas, then he should allow Governor Abbott to call the shots as to guarding the border there..

---
From the "do as I say, not as I do" department - WTVM-TV9 story: "CHAMBERS COUNTY, Ala. (WTVM) - Efforts are underway to name the members of an advisory committee tasked with ensuring the Chambers County School System’s desegregation efforts are meeting the community’s needs. * The Chambers County School District struggled with a federal desegregation order for decades. However, over a month ago, a judge ordered that a Desegregation Advisory Committee be formed and meet at least twice a year." -- How conflictory can the federal government be? Where's the federal outrage over the "Congressional Black Caucus... HBCU... BLM...NAACP.. and voting districts determined on racial/political numbers... et al?

Online headline: "Berkeley co-op bans WHITE PEOPLE from common areas to 'avoid white violence and presence' and all students trying to sign in are asked to declare their race * The accommodation houses University of California, Berkeley students and has rules that specifically ban 'white people' from common spaces in the house * The Person of Color Theme House says many of it's members moved to the house to avoid 'white violence'" -- Hey, Federal Government! What are you going to do about this!

---
Dr Oz was on Hannity the other night in desperate mode... He can't figure out how Fetterman in leading him in the PA Senate race while camped out in his basement. Hey, Dr Oz... stop complaining about what an arse Fetterman is... it makes you look petty... Talk about your goals for America. You aren't going to sway ONE Democrat voter away from him.. but you can influence independents with a good reason to vote FOR you..

---
The CDC's Rachel Walensky stated she hated that healthcare became so political..... Hmmm... well, she didn't certainly seem to mind co-operating politically with Biden and PeLOUSY.

---
Guess Schumer has written Manchin off! After "playing him" to get his vote "for" the last Pork Project Bill, Manchin won't get that oil pipeline in/out of West Virginia Schumer promised. Manchin had best change his party affiliation before mid-term.

---
Online story: "U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana Judge Terry Doughty issued a permanent injunction blocking the leasing moratorium in a ruling late Thursday evening. * Doughty wrote that President Biden "lacked any authority" to implement the policy under the Mineral Leasing Act (MLA) and Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) which regulate federal leasing on public lands and waters." -- Hmmm... maybe we oughta get Judge Doughty to rule on the rest of Resident Biden's
"Day One" Executive Orders and get our border secure!

---
A weekend headline: "On this day in history, August 19, 1812, Old Ironsides legend born in smashing victory over Royal Navy * USS Constitution routed HMS Guerriere in open sea battle, proved might of fledgling US Navy" -- Wow... I remember ..very fondly... in 1992...visiting Boston with my Dad to see my sister and her family as her daughter competed for Stanford in the "Women's 8s" during the "Head of the Charles" Regatta event. During a side trip, we got to board and tour "Old Ironsides" as she was docked for repairs and TLC. If you don't already have this on your "bucket list", go now and add it!

---
From the "Hey... where's the federal "diversity police" on this?" department - Online headline/story: "Petition launches supporting policy allowing biological males to apply to an elite all-girls school * Harpeth Hall in Nashville, Tennessee, recently paused a policy allowing biological males to apply to the school * A petition supporting a controversial policy at an elite all-girls school to allow anyone who identifies as female to apply regardless of gender identity has garnered hundreds of signatures. * Last week, in an email to parents, Harpeth Hall in Nashville, Tennessee, announced a new "Gender Diversity Philosophy" which would allow "any student who identifies as a girl" to apply to the school." -- Good grief! Hmmm.. on the other hand, where's the equivalent "UC Berkeley anti diversity police" ruling to make all "common areas" off limits to non-biological females"?

---
Talk about hypocrisy, Jessica Tarlov, the Dems lead Spinmeister assigned to save Biden on Fox News broadcasts, was overly animated (especially for a Democrat in pregnancy) defending Resident Biden.. Tarlov defended his gaffes galore saying voters should not judge him by his gaffes but by his results... Hmmm.. I thought... Tarlov was the number one Trump assassin, and led the efforts to impeach him for his tweets and never once defended President Trump for his marvelous policy results.

---
How can Stacey Abrams attempt to convince even Democrats that she can keep guns out of the hands of criminals when she doesn't believe criminals who use/possess should even be in jail?

---
I heard that under no circumstances would Dr Anthony Fraudi would be fired for all his "the SKY is falling" advocacy about Covid-19 masks. Well, he should be retired at minimum, and if not fired or retired, have his salary cut in half! No government employee should have a higher salary than the President of the US!

---
Try and digest this.... I understand that the largest NFL stadium seats 85,000 people... The Democrats just enacted a bill that includes hiring 87,000 new agents that are not opposed to being armed nor violent... in other words, no NFL stadium can hold all the new agents.

---
Excuse me, but why is "abortion" even an issue in U.S. House and Senate races? The Supreme Court has put the decision back in the hands of each state's legislatures, not the U S Congressional members.

---
Wow! New batches of Fentanyl pills flooding across our Southern Border looking like Skittles! Guess it's easier to use unaccompanied "minors" as drug mules.

---
China is now sending support troops to help Putin in Russia. Why isn't the DOJ raiding the White House and Hunter Biden's whatever?

---
Fairfax County parents are concerned that 27 % of students can't read at grade levels.. Hmm... meanwhile, in Columbus, GA, too many of our school officials would be ecstatic IF 27% of students COULD read at their grade levels.

---
Online headline: 'Biden heads back to Delaware beach house, where he’s building $500K taxpayer-funded security fence" -- Hmmm... Maybe the Secret Service didn't get the PeLOUSY memo that "Walls don't work".. Hey! The Secret Service is under the U.S. Treasury Department... Why doesn't the Secret Service just grab a few thousand of the new, armed & dangerous, IRS agents to just lock arms around Resident Biden's house in Delaware when he's there?

---
How can Democrats and MSM be happy with Biden's approval rating getting back up to the upper 30s when 41% of Democrats feel the FBI is credible?

 

---
Sen Chuck Grassley, R- Iowa, must not have a clue! He's out campaigning for the head of the FBI to "root out political bias" in the upper administration... Hmmm...as I last recall, it's always been political bias that creates the FBI's upper administration.

Hey, Columbus (GA) Council.. any updates of reimbursements of the moneys embezzled by Willie Demps or Tony Adams?
