What's in store for England? Now that Queen Elizabeth has died, Charles becomes King at age 73... when he should be retiring. I figure Queen Elizabeth didn't retire at all because she didn't want to disappoint the English people by passing the reins on to him 25 to 30 years ago.

WTVM-TV9 "headLIE"/story: "5-year-old in stable condition after accidental shooting in Columbus * COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - A five-year-old is in the hospital after an accidental shooting at a gas station on Buena Vista Road in Columbus." -- "accidental shooting"? There are NO ACCIDENTAL shootings of 5-year olds at gas stations! Unfortunate ones.. tragic ones.. unintended ones... even stupid ones... but not "accidental ones".

Columbus's McDonalds fast food business has been sold... sold to some Californians (escapees I imagine)... Wonder if we'll see tofu-burgers soon?

For the most part, my bride has enjoyed her 2016 Acura MDX, but this week something happened that scares me from buying her a new one.. her car's battery just died with no warning... and that was not the only issue that evolved from the situation. We called a tow service, and they sent a traditional front-end lift truck.. Unfortunately, her car was parked at the end of our driveway, and the tow truck could not get access to the front of the car. Then we learned that because the transmission is electronically shifted, he couldn't put the car in neutral and maneuver it around so he could get his device hooked up on the front wheels. We did get it "jumped off" after a frantic time, so I could back her car out to the street and pull up behind his truck and he could get a grip on it.. Now I'm going to make sure we don't buy a new car in the future that has such an electronic transmission.. well unless a proper solution is developed.. Now, it still scares me... a lot... that her battery died with 'zero" warning that it may be weakening.

From the "maybe it's a warning shot fired across the bow of MSM" department - Online headline/story: "Las Vegas investigative reporter was killed over critical stories, police allege * Las Vegas Metro police arrested Clark County public administrator Robert Telles, Democrat, on suspicion of murder in the Sept. 2 death of Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter German after recovering items from the elected official's home that authorities said were worn by the killer. Police said they also tied Telles to a vehicle driven to the scene of the crime and found his DNA at the scene of the fatal stabbing.
* The slaying "has deeply impacted Las Vegas. ... The killing of a journalist is particularly troublesome," Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said in announcing the arrest." -- Hmmm.. perhaps the real story is that the Democratic Party senses MSM straying from its control, and wants a message sent to reporters who are wavering on supporting the Democrat policies on our nation's border security, justice and, Constitutional abandonment, and class warfare tactics..

Online headline: "Brianne Nadeau, a member of the Council of the District of Columbia, blamed the governors of Texas and Arizona for the city's public migrant emergency.
* Speaking in a situational update on migrant support alongside Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser, she said Thursday that the city's systems were not set up to serve the migrants that continue to arrive in the city from the southern states." -- "the city's systems were not set up to serve the migrants that continue to arrive in the city from the southern states"? Good grief! .... Unbelievable!.. the stupidity that is.. I have never heard Arizona be categorized as a "southern state", but for anyone to blame the governors of any of our Southern Border states (well, california is an exception) for the failure of Biden and the Democrats to "secure our borders" is outrageous! Are we sure Ms Nadeau's name is as it appears... it seems that "Ms Bimbo" would be more appropriate.. Hey.. Ms Nadeau-Bimbo.. Our border security is dependent on the same people who are responsible for the security of Washington, DC... yep.. and that's currently Resident Biden and Queen PeLOUSY! Oh.. and MS Nadeau-Bimbo.. when you point the "finger of blame", you have 3 fingers pointing at yourself!

Where's Nancy PeLOUSY in this picture?

Democrats and MSM like to promote Resident Biden's 2020 "win" as a "mandate"... a "landslide"... because Biden got 81 Million popular votes to Trump's 74 million, and Biden got 306 Electoral Votes and Trump got 232.. What the Democrats and MSM DON'T like to "promote" is that CA and NY alone gave Biden the 7 million vote "national" margin, and if you "eliminated the 55 CA Electoral votes and the 29 NY Electoral Votes , too, the rest of the 48 states gave Trump a 232 to 222 Electoral Vote margin of victory...

From the "Yes, America, there is HOPE!" department - Online headline/story: "Portland residents with disabilities sue city over homeless tents blocking sidewalks * Lawsuit claims Portland violated Americans with Disabilities Act * Disabled residents in Portland, Oregon, are suing the city over claims that officials have allowed sidewalks to become overrun with homeless camps, making walkways inaccessible. * The suit asks that a judge order Portland to clear sidewalks of homeless camps and tents while providing emergency shelters for all the homeless displaced as a result." -- Too bad the suit doesn't include ordering Portland City officials to be evicted and their homes be given to homeless care...

Online headline: "CNN, ABC, ESPN promoted Duke volleyball player's racial slur story, go quiet on developments debunking claim * Witnesses and footage from ongoing investigations undermine Rachel Richardson's claims" -- Yes! Looks like another Jussie Smollett, and Al Sharlaton/Tawana Brawley racism scam. Let's hope Nick Sandmann's lawyers VOLUNTEERS to sue Duke's Rachel Richardson, her godmother, and Duke U as well as CNN, ABC, and ESPN (et al)

Online headline: "Fetterman's press secretary tweeted she was 'mortified' to be American, made insensitive remarks on minorities * Tweets from Fetterman's press secretary showed insensitive remarks toward African, Indian people" -- Hmm.. but most importantly, let's REMEMBER who HIRED her! Political hirees reflect the attitude of their candidates!

---
Online headline: "Democrats scramble to protect federal workers ahead of midterms, possible Trump return in 2024 * House Dems want to make it harder for president to change procedures within federal workforce" -- Wait a minute! Federal employees work for the taxpayers, and the taxpayers deserve to have employees who work in their best interests... When taxpayers elect their leaders, their leaders should be able to hire workers that will work harder for the taxpayers rather than for the benefit of a out-of-favor political agenda!

Herschel Walker appeared on Larry Kudlow's show on Fox Business yesterday. After some vigorous conversation on the differences between Senator Warnock and Herschel Walker positions on various economic policies, Larry Kudlow ended the interview with, "Herschel Walker, you're a WINNER!". How can anyone argue with America's most in-tune financial expert!

---
WRBL-TV3 headline/story: "Warnock says yes to Savannah debate against Walker — with two conditions * Warnock put two conditions on accepting the debate. One Walker agree to one of the debates Warnock has previously agreed to. And, that debate does not provide a topic list in advance." -- Of course Senator Pastor Warnock wouldn't want the public to know what the debate topics were.. he wouldn't want the public to know topics like hyper-inflation, border security, illegal immigration, inflation, street crime, Fentanyl deaths, or his voting record wouldn't be on the agenda...heck.. Warnock wouldn't want anything that associates him with biden, PeLOUSY or Schumer to be visible!

Hey.. North Columbus, GA...Let's talk some more about that proposed 340 unit apartment complex on 25 acres that Wynnbrook Baptist Church/School sold that the developers are now trying to get the GA DOT to rescind it's previous decision NOT TO widen River Road/GA 219 in that area. Face it... there are only two possible exits/entrances .. River Road which the GA DOT is examining (though it stated during the Round-About saga that widening that stretch was not an option), and if that's not approved, then traffic would have to be on River Knoll Way.. and that would be a disaster for Brookstone subdivision.. Wynnbrook would probably close the gate forcing all apartment traffic to River Road but Wynnbrook School traffic would all be using Brookstone Blvd and can you imagine the traffic jams as all their school traffic uses the Brookstone Blvd entrance as ingress and egress, and then most would leave the subdivision at a Bradley Park while Brookstone School is opening/closing for the day... It's time that Columbus Council discuss this in public!

From the "maybe life has traveled full circle" department - Online story: "Early onset cancers defined as cancers discovered in adults younger than 50 years old, have "dramatically increased" around the world over the last few decades, according to a new report by researchers at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital." -- Hmmm..Maybe 50 is the "new" 80?

Did you notice.. that Queen Elizabeth.. in her capacity as Queen of England, only stepped foot in the White House when Republicans were Presidents? .. Eisenhower in '57, Ford in '76, Bush 41 in '91, and Bush 43 in 2007.

As hard as the Democrats will promote the Supreme Courts correction of the 1973 ruling on Roe v. Wade.. it is not a National issue... never was... it has been given back for each state to decide per the 10th Amendment to our Constitution...Personally, I'd like each state to have a ballot referendum on National Election Day in 2023, with 3 or more options for wording and conditions, then a runoff between to top two options during the 2024 General Election. The more informed the voters will be, and the best solutions will prevail.
