 Here we are.. at the doorway into 2023... In spite of the best efforts of media and the Democrats.. we have survived, and hopefully will continue to do so. Happy New Year! GO DAWGS!


---
Retrospect: As we end 2022, we realized that over 500 people in Columbus, GA realized death or injury from gun shots this year. That's nearly 10 Columbus, GA people per week. .but there is more to the figures than meets the eye... First, overall.. more than 1-in-400 people were subjected to violent gun situations. If you break it down by gender, race, or gender and race, the "1-in-X" number escalates... then SOARS!

---
Hey.. if you have nothing else to celebrate, we can ALL celebrate the absence of Dr Fauci and his "science"!

---
Wait a minute... We are still learning that Resident Biden, et al, are vacationing at the home with a wealthy donor's villa after being flown to the US Virgin Island hideaway by private jet. Hmmmm... we were told Biden was going to St Croix Island ... but.. that's conveniently close to the Epstein compound on Little St James Island, and who's seen the infamous Epstein " Lolita Express" jet in a while?

From the "this may be the biggest travesty in American history" department - Online lie after lie: "Democrats released six years of former President Trump’s tax return information last week as part of reports into the presidential audit program, revealing that the former president wasn’t receiving regular audits from the IRS and that he was reporting big business losses every year. * Trump’s actual tax returns from 2015 to 2020 are to be released, after Democrats said they needed additional time to redact the documents and remove personal information. * Tax experts aren’t expecting huge revelations from the raw returns, which were summarized in reports from both the Democratic-controlled Ways and Means Committee and the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT). * But the more detailed documents could provide additional information on key areas of interest regarding Trump’s businesses and his professional associations." -- First.. Trump is not on trial... the IRS..who developed its tax code, and Congress, which approved the IRS tax code are the ones actually on trial! Secondly, the so-called "non-partisan" designation for the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) is far from being so...but it's the gestapo actions of the Democrat Party should be focused on! The Democrats have weaponized the IRS to where it's a threat against the Democracy we cherish.... if a former President is not afforded the personal privacy guaranteed by IRS rules and policies, who among us can feel protected? While no man is "above the law", neither is the political agenda of a Political Party. One other thing is of particular interest... the Democrats want to "redact" elements of Trump's tax returns... WHY? You can bet anything the Democrats "redact" will be items that cover their rear-ends, and cover up all details that might elevate Trump.

---
And if you think you are not in the eye of the IRS, think again.. since the early 80s until I became "eligible" to benefit (?) from MediCare (which I had no choice but to pay into), I've elected to be responsible for healthcare for myself and family.. and, over the years, being "self-pay" (and covering several "major" medical procedures) has paid off based on expenditures vs insurance payments. Well, this week, my bride git a "notice" from the Treasury Department (IRS) that it noticed she didn't have any medical insurance and would she like to talk with "them" about getting some "government based insurance"... This is not a laughing matter.. Looks like those 87,000 "armed" IRS agents to be added may be for pushing/processing more ObamaCRAP insurance!

---
From the "Inquiring minds want to know" department - A couple of years ago when hospital beds in Columbus, GA were in short supply due to Covid-19 issues, Piedmont announced opening 35 more beds in the Old Drs Hospital next door which was made possible by a donation from AFLAC... QUESTION: Are those 35 rooms still active ..still available .. I ask because a friend of mine had some major surgery this week and was moved to Atlanta for the procedure because of a shortage of rooms.

---
The Thomas Jefferson High School in Fairfax, VA parents should sue the "one employee" ...and the school system. for hiring said employee... who made a "one time error" by not timely informing National Merit Scholarship winners of their honors/awards given by the National Merit Scholarship Committee of the SATs. Those honors/awards determine many scholarships their children could get, so there was REAL MONETARY DAMAGES inflicted on those students and families. That "one employee" intentionally denied those students.. and their parents.. the benefit of adding those awards/honors to their college applications... and that "one employee" is still one the job being paid for by the taxes those wronged parents are paying.

---
Wow! Talk about inflation.. uh...super Bidenflation.. the Columbus L-E newspaper is now $3.00 for a daily edition! Hmmm.. on second thought, "inflation" , while true, may not be the best descriptive word... it's more like the Columbus L-E has such an "inflated EGO" it feels that what it publishes is worth more than 2-cents.

---
From the "BIAS? What bias?" Department- Columbus (GA) Ledger-Enquirer "headLIE"... repeat... HEADLIE!: " Supreme Court REFUSES to lift rule for asylum seekers" -- WRONG! It's about Title 42... and NOTHING ..ZIP.. NADA about "asylum seekers"...Legitimate.. key word.. LEGITIMATE.. "asylum seekers" are treated separately by the State Department. The issue is about Title 42...which is a health issue to protect American citizens from diseases coming into America unchecked. Hmmm... think about this..why would anyone be against keeping viruses from other origins out of our country?

---
You know... There's really only ONE problem at our SOUTHERN BORDER... the Democrats have handcuffed our law enforcement officers instead of the criminals!

---
Since 2017, the Washington Post has what may be the most ironic "slogan" in the history of media.. "Democracy Dies in Darkness"....yet the Post.. and Post owner Jeff Bezos.. highly benefit from "darkness". The bane of of the 1st Amendment is 'darkness", yet the Post, and every other form of MainScreamMedia benefit highly from the ever increasing money that is pouring into political ads by PACs and super-wealthy individuals promoting negative ads... character assassination ads...about opponents of a candidate of their "choice". While I am a supporter of "free speech", some reform in political donations needs to be developed.. The simplest solution would be to limit candidates to only receiving/accepting donations from individuals legally ELIGIBLE to vote FOR them, and limiting PAC ads to run ads only for candidates that a majority of the PAC members/donors are eligible to vote for or against the candidate their ads support/demean. There is nothing good.. nothing healthy.. about super-wealthy people of one state or district influencing the Congressional choices of citizens of another state or district. Time has come to reform donations and.. time has come for Congressional Term Limits...The mechanics of 435 Representatives and 100 Senators influencing the direction of America's future to primarily benefit themselves rather than the citizens they supposedly represent NEED for a definitive course direction.

Columbus (GA) L-E headline/story: "Biden officials rush to fill posts for special envoys * President Joe Biden's administration is rushing to fill posts for State Department special envoys and representatives ahead of a January 3 deadline after which most such candidates will be required to get Senate confirmation. * That rule, passed quickly in 2021, closes a loophole" -- Hmmm... "passed quickly in 2021, closes a loophole"? Passed quickly....and QUIETLY! The Democrats anticipated losses in majority in both the Senate and the House, and rammed a backdoor, self-serving rule through to distribute jobs to liberals who would not get approved with a Republican Senate majority.. Oh.. and to make sure the Italian Ambassador's job could get filled by Queen Pelosi or Whoopi Goldberg.. neither of which was a sure bet even WITH a Democrat Senate majority.

---
FOX News needs to look closer at who .. on the B-team, gets fill-in jobs for the "regulars" during Holiday broadcast shows. The "subs" are naturally excited at the opportunity to display their "wares" ... but because of this the Dems are sending their A-team "contributors" who are having "easy pickings" at promoting their agenda uninterruptedly that normally would be countered by more experienced Fox Newscast people.

---
SCAM ALERT! Hey... when you hear TV Ads saying some incredible government paid service.. such as MedicAid or SSI, or even telephone "caption equipment/services" are available at "no cost to you", YOU ARE DEFINITELY PAYING FOR IT with your taxes..... whether you actually qualify for or use such government provided services.

---
From the "Bias? What bias?" department - Online "headLIE": "Santos should resign, say lawmakers in LGBTQ+ Equality Caucus" -- "say lawmakers"? How about "say DEMOCRATIC PARTY lawmakers... OH.. and name me seven Democrat "lawmakers" that have demanded Senator Bob Menendez, or Senator or President Joe Biden, or President Bill Clinton, or Secretary of State/Presidential candidate Hellary Clinton, or Congressman a Dam Schi**, or Congressman Eric Smalwell, or Queen PeLOUSY, or Senator Warnock etc... etc... etc...resign...

and for the record.. AOL/HuffPOOPOO blocked this post from the ""Conversation" option of the article..

---
Online headline: "Disneyland makes 'courtesy' plea to visitors after brawls go viral" -- Hmmm... just firing the CEO apparently is has not "saved" Disney.. seems making Disneyland a "sanctuary state" within a "sanctuary state" has created more violence than than before...

---
Online YAHOO headline: "These 3 big pieces of Biden’s agenda kick off Jan. 1" -- Hmmm.. unfortunately, the 3 kicks are in America's groin...

---
Pele! A life worth remembering!

---
Online headline: "Police in schools have outsize effect on Black children, report says" -- You know.. if all children were taught at home.. from the gitgo...simply to respect our laws and law enforcement officers, we wouldn't NEED law enforcement officers in our schools. It's that simple!

---
Online headline: "Congressional report: U.S. FDA broke own protocols in approving Biogen Alzheimer's drug" -- Hmmm... and I bet the FDA chief probably used the excuse, "Sorry, forgot about those.."

---
From the "well, what else can they say?" department - Online headline: 'WH confident about economic recovery in 2023" -- Hmmm.. good grief! What else can Resident Biden's White House "handlers" say?

Thursday, December 29, 2022

 While MSM and the Democrats are trying to stir up anger at new NY Republican Representative George Santos, Resident Biden just did it again.. he claimed his Uncle Fred was awarded The Purple Heart in the famous WWII's "Battle of the Bulge"! Of course it;s UNTRUE.. What we have is a Democrat who also happens to be "President" who's constantly losing the "Battle of THE BILGE"!


---
Online headline: "January 6 committee withdraws Trump subpoena: 'They knew I did nothing wrong'" -- Hmmmm....."KNEW" Trump did nothing wrong"? Of course THEY KNEW!...Just like THEY KNEW there were no impeachment charges that were valid... ...of course... THEY still accomplished what THEY WANTED...to INTERFERE with the 2020 & 2022 Elections...and, as history shows, "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED"!

---
Online story: "Title 42 allowed the federal government to deny entry to certain aliens to prevent the spread of a contagion (COVID-19)." -- Hmmm... Excuse me... but WHY did we NEED Title 42? Shouldn't EVERY illegal.. undocumented... alien be prevented to cross our border (unless under despot stress) and only with documentation?

---
Online headline: "Top Virginia high school accused of withholding academic awards for 'equity': 'The dumbing down of America'" -- A Fairfax County High School just definitively define DISGUSTING! It withheld notifications of academic honors and awards to students who won/earned them until after the period of early admission application submissions had ended (*).. and get this ""The school wanted to recognize students as individuals, not their achievements, as if the two had to be separated,""! In other words... well, IN THEIR WORDS, "EQUITY"...or in real life, PREJUDICE!
 
(*) - The delayed awards in question are given by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, which recognizes top-performing high schoolers nationwide. TJ received the 2022 honors in October but did not distribute them to students until a month later, after early-application deadlines had passed".

---
Online headline: "Biden administration announces new COVID test requirement on travelers from China - Guess the White House is "walking back" CNN's excitement I reported yesterday.. that Chine was OPENING it's borders to visitors during China's airing that its current Covid-19 condition is the worse it has EVER reported/admitted to! Of course, the White House offered no new Covid test requirement policy concerning "visitors" who
have been to/from China crossing at OUR border.

---
Online headline: "Ryan Seacrest applauds CNN's decision to limit alcohol consumption after Andy Cohen's New Year's Eve insult" -- Hmmm... now... if we could only get ABC to applaud CNN having to limit its "distribution of drivel" it passes off as "news" every evening!

---
Online headline: "Michelle Obama says she 'couldn't stand' Barack for 10 years" -- Wow... Mrs. Obama and I have something in common...I couldn't stand him for 8 years!

---
From the "when is a promise a joke..not a promise?" department - Online story: ""Mr. DePape will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and held accountable for his heinous crimes (of attacking Paul Pelosi)," San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said in a statement following Wednesday's arraignment." -- Good grief.. It's San Francisco..and the DA will probably end up NOT prosecuting because... because the "hammer" was under $1,000.00 in cost so it was a "misdemeanor hammer", versus a "felony hammer".

---
Online headline: "Texas Gov. Abbott hits back at White House over criticism of busing migrants on Christmas Eve" -- Hmmmm... You know... I don't recall seeing one story of Resident Biden getting those illegal aliens who were dropped of at VP Chuckles Harris' home, and carrying them to a warmer site such as their home countries .. or even St Croix where Biden was heading off to anyway.

---
Online headline: "Rachel Levine ripped for demanding censorship of 'misinformation' on 'gender-affirming care' for kids" -- "Misinformation"? WRONG! This is DISINFORMATION! Misinformation happens when someone passes along "misinterpreted" information to others... Disinformation is when the SOURCE intentionally passes on MISINFORMATION to promote their agenda.

---
You know... God created each of us "perfect" and with a purpose... and... a plan. To deny your own being to suit "YOUR OWN interpretation of God's plan" is denying God...

---
From the "whatcha wanna bet?" department - Online headline/story: "Nonprofit names $1.5B Georgia Rivian EV plant incentive as worst deal of the year * A nonprofit has named Georgia’s decision to give $1.5 billion in incentives for a Rivian Automotive electric vehicle assembly plant 2022’s "Worst Economic Development Deal of the Year." * The Michigan-based Center for Economic Accountability bestows the honor to a government subsidy of a private company that best illustrates the "massive wastefulness and ineffectiveness of government economic development subsidy programs." -- "The Michigan-based Center for Economic Accountability"? Hmmm... whatcha wanna bet... that if Rivian had built in Michigan, the non-profits "tune" would be different... but.. as long as we are talking about "Worst Economic Development Deal of the Year.", what about the Obama-Biden BAIL-OUT "loan" for GM! .... did you know that GM has never had to pay all of it back!

---
This should be from "Ripley's: Believe it or not!" department - Online headline: "Tulsi Gabbard tears into George Santos during Fox interview: ‘Do you have no shame?" -- Wait a minute.. let me get this straight.. Tulsi Gabbard.. a former Democrat Representative .. and presidential nominee candidate... is asking a Republican if he has "NO SHAME" for lying or embellishment? Fred Sanford really would be joining Elizabeth if he'd heard ANY Democrat say that he/she was "ASHAMED" over a lie...

---
Hmmm... you know.. WNBA player Brittney Griner escaped having a "lump of coal" in a stocking in a Russian jail cell this Christmas, but.. on the other hand.. how many enemies of Putin had a "hand grenade" left in their "stocking" by Viktor Bout?

---
From the "how can this be!" department - Online headline/story: "Katie Ledecky named AP Female Athlete of the Year for second time as historic dominance continues * A close second for the award was fellow world record-holder Sydney McLaughlin. The track star and Ledecky tied in total points, but Ledecky received 10 first-place votes to McLaughlin’s nine. * WNBA champion and league MVP A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces finished third and reigning NCAA champion Aliyah Boston of South Carolina was fourth." -- WHOA! how can this be! Where's "Lia Thomas"! ... oh... I guess since the elections are over, liberals don't need to stir up the tranny-voters any more..

---
Hmmm.. this about says it all...




----
Online headline/story: "Disney issues behavior warning to parkgoers as fights increase: 'Be the magic you want to see' * Additionally, in the property rules section, the park asks that guests show "common courtesy" to other guests and cast members (employees) by "not using profanity or engaging in unsafe, illegal, disruptive or offensive behavior, jumping lines or saving places in lines for others." -- Hmmm.."asks that guests show 'common courtesy' to other guests"? Well... today... it seems that neither our schools.. nor liberals.. nor our Justice system teach...nor support... 'common courtesy" any more.

 Stories on borders were on CNN and Fox News at the same time yesterday afternoon... Fox talked about the chaos of our open border with Mexico...CNN praised China for opening up its borders for travelers in spite of the COVID issues.. Who are these CNN people!



The CNN-ers were ecstatic over their anticipated expectations that the US Supreme Court was going to agree with lifting the Title 42 border policy of President Trump yesterday ...I did not see any of their faces later when the US Supreme Court KEPT Title 42 in place for now...



---

Speaking of Liberal hypocrisy.. remember when MSM EVISCERATED Sen Ted Cruz for going on a warm Mexican vacation during the extreme winter storm in Texas last year? Anybody heard MSM even seem bothered that Resident Biden is vacationing in St Croix while Washington and his home states of Pennsylvania and Delaware are iced in? Hmmm.. St Croix is in the US Virgin Islands... not far from Jeffrey Epstein's Little St James Island... Wonder if Hunter Biden made the trip also?



---

The Democrats have their panties in a WAD over new NY Congressman George Santos "lying". Let me ask ... what's worse, a politician lying about his personal life... or a politician promising something to a voter to get his vote, and KNOWING he/she isn't going to keep it? 



---

Hmmm... so Congressional Candidates can run ads lying about their opponent and the election laws allow it, but they can't "embellish" their own accomplishments.. doesn't make a lot of sense does it..




Look at Georgia.... for example.. one Senate candidate claims to be a Pastor.. a man of God.. guess he embellished a bit .. he used a Capital "G" versus a lower case one when he meant he was a man of god...



---

CNN  was demanding Kevin McCarthy not to "seat" George Santos in January... Hmmm... did you ever hear CNN demanding Queen PeLOUSY to "unseat" Eric Smalwell for his affair with Chinese spy Fang Fang... I know I didn't...



---

Online story: "Biden roasted for busting out ‘old school, anti-Irish’ slur, claiming he’s Italian:" -- Hmmm... So now Biden is into  "Trans-genealogy"...why not.. The White House will be trying to walk that back, too, next week...



---

Wow! Resident Biden avers that the airlines will be held ACCOUNTABLE for all the flight cancellations... Hmmmm... and when is he going to hold himself accountable for the inflation, oil shortages, crime increases, and border security issues?



---

Talking about Bidenflation.. Remember that $5.00 "box" of food you could get at Popeye's? Well, while you can still get the "box" of food, now you have pay $6.00... that's 20% MORE!



---

Online headline: "Columbus Pools to Reopen in 2024 after Several Area Pools are Replaced" -- Another year and a half...... I guess, until then, you can work on your tan laying around the indoor pool at the AquaCenter...



---

Online headline: "Fox News includes Herschel Walker in losers ranking * "Walker was the only Republican to lose a statewide election in the state this year." -- Hmmm..despite the hundreds of millions of out-of-state dollars spent viciously slurring Herschel Walker's name, "Pastor Warnock" barely beat Walker....I'd say Warnock was the biggest loser.... he sold his soul...and he sold out Georgia!



---

Online opinion piece: "Run-Off Election In Georgia Sent A Clear Message: The John Lewis Voting Rights Act Must Be Passed * by Duvalier Malone * The state of Georgia did Congressman John Lewis proud on Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2022, in the Georgia midterm run-off election between Sen. Raphael G. Warnock and Republican Senate nominee Herschel Walker. The state of Georgia re-elected the incumbent Warnock to return to Washington, D.C., defeating Walker. * Sen. Warnock’s re-election proves that the Republican pilot scheme to nominate Walker to attract the Black vote did not deceive Georgia voters, who showed America that character, dignity and integrity are still important." -- You know.. the only "Black Issue" settled was that JoKKKe Biden defined who is... or isn't... Black. 



---

WRBL-TV3 story: "COLUMBUS, Ga. ( WRBL ) — Columbus Police are investigating a shooting that left one person injured on Dec. 26. * Police say one person was injured in a shooting near Forrest Road and Gleason Avenue in Columbus." -- This was at least number 513th or 514th .. maybe even the 515th..shooting victim for Columbus, GA in 2022....  That's nearly 10 per week! Maybe it's time for Columbus Council to re-valuate annually spending the $750K-$800K on so-called "Civilian Crime Prevention Programs" and put it into "Police Patrol Protocols".



---

Online headline: "U.S. House administration arm bans TikTok on official devices" -- Hmmm.. China doesn't need to have TikTok on Congressional devices.. China got all the info/data it needed having spy Fang Fang on Congressperson Eric Smalwell's "device".



---

Online "headLIE": "Holiday sales up 7.6% despite the squeeze of inflation" -- "despite the squeeze of inflation"? Wait a minute.. when "inflation" is higher that the sales increase, you actually get a net loss of sales...

Tuesday, December 27, 2022

 From the "Let the Congressperson who's truthful ... even mostly truthful... cast the first vote to remove Santos" department - Online headline: "New York Rep.-elect George Santos confesses to lies about his resumé" -- You know, just his confession probably makes Santos the most truthful Congressperson...


---
Online headlines: "Southwest Airlines criticized by passengers, Transportation Department as flights delayed nationwide" & "'Unacceptable': DOT to probe Southwest Airlines cancellations" -- Good grief! Our government has become so obsessed with NOT HAVING SECURITY on our Southwestern Border that it's now paranoid about a company with Southwest in it's name being concerned with the safety and security of American citizens!

---
What is it with the American Bar Association's wanting to eliminate the LSAT... Did an Ivy League "Legacy" fail to get into his father's school and not be eligible for a Secret Society club?

---
From the "contending for the hypocritical protest of 2022" department - Online headline: "Democrats rip Gov. Abbott over Christmas Eve migrant drop off near VP Harris’ residence in record-cold temps" -- Hmmm... seems to me that the temperature the was about the same in Washington and the Southern Border, so what the Democrats were really protesting is their own policy...and who better to see.. hear.. address it first hand than Border Tsar Chuckles Harris.. It was also confirmation that SECURE walls/fences/gates really do WORK!
---
You know.. if Resident Biden and his "White House handlers" were REALLY concerned about illegal aliens having to deal with our winter weather, they should just send them all back to Central & South America where the Summer season just started..
---
Online headline: "Students at expensive New York university occupy campus, demand A-grades for everyone" -- Hey.. don't blame the students... It's their parent's fault... these are the kids who's parents wanted not to keep score in youth sports, and award trophies to every player on every team whether they ever won a game or not.

---
Online "headLIE"/story: "These are the 8 most annoying "people" of the year * Meghan & William, The View cast, Ye, Chris Cuomo, Brian Stelter, the Harry Potter stars, Ben Collins/Brandy Zadrozny, and Pete Davidson" -- Hmmm... How could any annoyance list NOT HAVE Adam Schi**, Eric Smalwell, every Pelosi, JoKKKE and Hunter Biden, and the directors of the DOJ & FBI?

---
Just thinking more about Queen PeLOUSY's final speech as Speaker of the House when she wished America a "Happy Swanza"... maybe this will be remembered as her "SWAN-za Song"...

---
The recent shooting at "The Mall of America" reminded me of Thanksgiving 1992...I was listening to "Good Morning America" in September when I heard about the opening of Mall of America in Bloomington, MN, and heard that on Black Friday after Thanksgiving Day, the Mall of America was expecting 180,000 people to surge in to shop. The number 180,000 caught my attention fast... being a member of a retail merchant family, I realized that there would be more more people in the Mall of America than lived in Columbus, GA at that time...I wanted to be there to see this for myself. I immediately booked flight and hotel accommodations for Minneapolis-St Paul for Thanksgiving Weekend. I was not disappointed! It was huge and exciting! At that time, one of my favorite stores was "Eddie Bauer".. "EB" stocked and sold Tall men's clothing in their store in Columbus and via catalog, and I loved the fit of their clothing.. Well, at the Mall of America, there were THREE different "Eddie Bauer Stores". The Mall also had Carnival Rides... including a Roller Coaster.. on the bottom level.. and the most intriguing entrepreneurial venture was a "Cell Phone Kiosk" where you could RENT (fee plus charges per minute) cell phones (sorry, pre-camera phones) while shopping (yes, there was a time when not everybody owned one) so friends/family could "stay in touch" while separating for shopping experiences..... Personally, I think I saw MORE than 180,000 people were there that day... I also had other notable experiences that weekend, but I want to mention one that's still an "only time" in my life event.. I actually walked out on a frozen lake...

---
From the "talk about passing disinformation along" department - Online headline: "Holiday sales up 7.6% despite the squeeze of inflation"--- Good grief.. After Democrats poured TRILLIONS of unsupported/backed "cash" into the revenue stream via the "American Recovery" and "Infrastructure" bills... too many people had too much unearned cash to spend which contributed directly to inflating the prices when supply was short... While sales dollars may be higher, sales unit aren't...

 Yesterday was Christmas Day... it was JOYOUS! There was the musky smell of freedom in the air.. cold ... crisp... clear...



----
Whether they actually voted themselves or not.. everyone who is credited with filing out a ballot for Resident Biden ... well... any.. all.. Democrats in the last two years, had an unexpected bonus this Christmas.... no coal in their stockings... Not because they didn't deserve it but because the coal industry has pretty much been shut down!

---
On the other hand we saw Resident Biden dressed up with his grandchildren.. Satan Clause?




----
Online headline: "GOP stumbles with independents contributed to midterm woes" -- Good grief! Independents are a different breed than the voters that are committed to supporting either a Democrat or a Republican..... hey have to be "wined and dined" to get them to show up to vote.. The Democrats figured Independents don't really like them so they beat them up with negative ads of discouragement to even try to make a change.. and the Republicans just twiddled their thumbs and made no sincere effort to comfort them with an exciting platform...basically, the Republicans didn't "fumble the ball"... they deflated it further.

---
Online headline: "Georgia sees coldest Christmas in 33 years" -- Hmmm.. I guess this is what happens when Senator Pastor-from-hell prays for good weather...

---
Wow! What weather ...C-O-L-D weather....so many of us experienced this weekend... Despite the shock, and inconvenience for festive travels, there's one very good outlook that comes with 3 days of frozen ground... it freezes far enough down to kill bugs that now won't bother us this Spring and Summer!

---
From the " wait for it" department - Hmmm ... with the savage cold temperatures on the Southern Border, you have to wonder when the ACLU will file a massive class action suit against the US Supreme Court for "cruel&unusual punishment" and "wrongful death" for illegal aliens who tried to cross the Rio Grande but found Biden's promise to lift Title 42 had been "stayed" by the US Supreme Court.

---
Online headline: "Austin Aune, a 29-year-old college QB for (currently) North Texas, enters transfer portal" -- Good grief! It's bad enough that UGA's QB is already 25 (but completing his college career), but how can the NCAA allow a 29 year old even play who didn't disrupt the time from when he finished high school with military service? Oh, and next season he'll be 30! Hey!.. you know, Austin Aune may be the first NCAA athlete eligible to "retire" from a college football career!

---
Online headline: "Election-year politics tops Georgia headlines in 2022" -- yeah, who knew a pastor could use .. permit .. such a verbal assault on another human being... and his church still support him?

---
Online headline/story: "Proxy voting goes out with a bang in the House * Proxy voting went out with a bang in the House on Friday, with the majority of lawmakers in the chamber voting remotely during what will likely be the last time members can utilize the pandemic-era procedure." -- Good grief! There weren't enough members there to call a quorum,and there's certainly no "completely non-hackable" process to assure American citizens the right people actually voted or theta votes recorded were the actual votes of the Representatives themselves.

---
In 1958, Eugene Burdick and William Lederer wrote a dramatic political novel titled, "The Ugly American".. Rumor has it that their grandchildren are writing a sequel it's another political novel titled "The Ugliest American" it's about whom Resident Biden will choose as the new Ambassador to Italy... and it's about two women, Nancy PeLOUSY and Whoopi Goldberg, who have expressed interest in that post...

---
Online opinion headline: "An Apology To The White Voters Of Georgia" -- Whatta an idiot! The only white candidate drew less than 2% of any color voters support! The main take away from the runoff was that ANY COLOR voters would support a so called pastor who lied and defiled his neighbor! As for me, I only vote for how the candidates look inside!

From the "woulda, coulda, shoulda" department - Online 'headLIE": "DC National Guard commander 'strongly' considered sending troops to Capitol without approval, Jan. 6 report says" -- "strongly considered" sending in his National Guard troopers without permission (orders)... hmmmm....Texans describe this as "all hat, no cattle"...

---
Online headline: "Columbus GA Police Department: Death investigation underway on 29th street in Columbus" -- Now we have at least 35 gun homicides and 47 total homicides and over 511 people wounded or killed by guns in 2022... so far.. that's 27 less than record setting 2021 figures, but it's still way too many killings and shooting for a city our size... total homicides are now 23.5 homicides per 100,000 population. Columbus GA Council no longer can voluntarily stay uninformed.

---
From the "stop giving Democrats ideas!" department - Online story: "BUENOS AIRES, Dec 23 (Reuters) - Argentina's leftist President Alberto Fernandez has sparked a battle with the country's top court and something of a legal crisis after he said he would reject a ruling it made to give a larger proportion of state funds to the city of Buenos Aires. * "It is an unprecedented, incongruous, and impossible-to-enforce ruling," he said, calling the decision politically motivated ahead of general elections next year and adding that it would hurt the other provinces." -- Wow! Argentina just lept to the top of heap of Resident Biden's "most admired countries" list....Watch for a similar plea the next time he reads his Teleprompter about the US Supreme Court's correction of the 1973 "Roe v Wade" correction...

---
Online headline: "5 Beautiful but Underrated Places in Georgia " -- Good grief! How did Macon get on this list! The last time we were there was for a Saturday afternoon wedding in the downtown area about 4 years ago... we watched our backs all the way to the church, and didn't smile on the way out until we reached the Columbus Highway on our way home. Looks like Columbus GA's Visitors Bureau has been asleep on the job!

Online headline: " Former prison guard charged with illegal possession of hamburgers" --
Hmmm... a real life "hamburglar "? Funny.. they can catch hamburgers smuggled in to prisoners, but drugs and cellphones get in undetected... those burgers must have smelled fantastic!

Online headline/story: "GBI, DA will not prosecute former state Senate candidate * The Brunswick Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s office announced this month that 8* Companions for Heroes CEO and former Georgia Senate District 3 candidate David Sharpe will not be prosecuted. * “GBI conducted an investigation, and we reviewed the investigative case file,” Brunswick DA Keith Higgins told The News. “My office did some additional investigation, and based on … all of that there is no evidence of any criminal activity by Mr. Sharpe.” -- Good grief! Just typical politics.... state a "rumor" in an ad as fact when there's no time for your opponent to fix it, and no media willing to correct their "stories" as vigorously as they spread the lies to begin with.

---
Online headline: "Georgia man parks in middle of highway, gets out, squats, poops in road" -- And, what was his name...inquiring readers want to know....? On the other hand.. maybe the man should receive a Citizenship Award... for filling in a pothole in the road...

---
Online "headline" : "Popular downtown Columbus restaurant reopens after renovations" -- Hmmm.."popular? Not! The Indigo Hotel facility has barely been open, and is already attempting a makeover"! We visited it when it first opened... ate downstairs in the "lobby" .. once.. and moved on. I bet there were no reservations for the outdoor bar/restaurant Christmas Eve Saturday night!

---
Online headline/story: "GA Superior court clerks legally pocketing thousands in passport processing fees" -- Good grief! At least make these "financial beneficiaries" fully responsible for office rent, supplies, and there salaries, and all the business licenses and taxes! For you older Columbus, GA citizens.. this reminds me of when a Columbus City official was preparing our bond issues... and getting fees for himself in addition to his salary... whether it was legal or not.. it was not above board...

---
Online headline" "Stacey Abrams $100M Ga. campaign splurged on ‘swag truck,’ TikTok house" -- "Swag Truck"? Sounds like vote buying in my book!

---
Online headline: "Stacey Abrams' next move may involve advocating for the disabled" -- hmmm..and why not.. it sounds like "familiar territory" for her... she's got tons of previous experience showing"disabled" people how to fill out ballots and give them to harvesters..

---
Online headline: "9/11 survivors' group vows to protest at Masters if Augusta National doesn't reconsider decision allowing LIV Golf series participants to play" -- Thank goodness the Masters Board IS NOT THE PGA!

---
Online headline: "Washington, DC: Bus of migrants dropped off outside VP Kamala Harris' home" -- hmmmm....a la Muhammad's thoughts about "mountains"... if Chuckles Harris won't go to the border for the experience , Texas Governor Abbott will bring the border to Chuckles Harris' for her to experience. Hmmm.. wonder if she welcomed them through her home gates? I also bet when they gathered at her gate & fence, she was yelling, "DON'T COME! DON'T COME" for real!

---
An "unintended consequence" headline?: "Biden issues stern warning to travelers: 'Leave now'" -- The CBP and Governors of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and even california should have newsboys handing a copy of this story to every illegal alien contemplating crossing our border illegally.

---
For discussion sake, I think we can all accept that we probably have 30,000,000 non-citizens illegally in our country....some are "anchored" by baby-birthing, but the parents are still non-citizens. 30 Million is basically 1-in-11 people in our country with no legal rights or loyalty. It means 1-in-11 people in America are probably receiving more than 9% of our national & state budgets combined in services and financial assistance that would be lessening our debt, our taxes, and putting more stress on the services and safety nets we passionately (to a fault) should.. could .. be using for our ACTUAL citizens in need.... that the 1-in-11 people are also stressing out legal/justice system and taking jobs away from American citizens, and the 1-in-11 people are causing unneeded stress on our education system as well.. and those 30 million also affect our Congressional District numbers for our states... Each district represents about 760,000 people based on our Census, and the Census form counts those 1-in-11 people in the states/cities they are sent or travel to. That means those 1-in-11 people figure in the make up of nearly 40 Congressional House Districts , and in most cases...maybe all... create almost fortresses for Democrats...just look at the number of Districts dominated at the ballot boxes of major cities .. frustration in crime control has run so many conservative voters to safer rural areas, the the conservative voters that stay are either so outnumbered they have no real voice in their Districts, or have simply become too discouraged to go vote after months of vile, slanderous, unmerciful political ads.

Logic 101: Logic tells common sense equipped people that our Southern Border needs DRASTIC attention to security NOW... We know this because we common sense people keep our eyes and ears open and alert to reality and facts...we also compare news reports of variously biased sources to get different aspects then draw our own conclusions. On the other hand, Democrats limit their exposure to CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS which don't cover the actual border scenes, and when the President and Border Tsar won't even visit the border to seem like they care (mainly because MainScreamMedia would send cameras with them which might make it on one of their news shows), and Democrats voters might question what they've been told is merely a "right-wing conspiracy" based on racism. Even more unfortunately, the liberal education curriculum reinforces the Democrats' agenda.

---
From the "be careful what you wish for" department - Online headline: "WISH LIST: Americans reveal Christmas requests for President Biden. Many ask for his resignation" -- Wishing Biden would resign wouldn't help a bit... Chuckles Harris would be his replacement... and don't think that was not considered when she was added to the "ticket"... She was Biden's "insurance policy".. like Biden was Obama's "insurance policy" -  to keep him safe... Even most Democrats did not actually want Biden to become President from 2008-to-2016, nor in 2020 but NO Americans want Chuckles Harris sitting in the Oval Office under any circumstances!

---
Online headline: "Debt-ridden Stacey Abrams panned by Democrats for 'incredibly bad' financial planning" -- Talk about hypocrites! Every Democrat.. and a number of RINOs in Congress should be "panned" by all voters for the overspending they've done!

---
From the "who do you believe.. Netanyahu & Barnes, or Biden & Obama?" department - Online headline: 'Mossad chief warns of Iran's growing advanced weapons supply to Russia, efforts to enrich uranium" -- Talk about an easy decision...

"Happy Swanza"? These were two of the last words Queen PeLOUSY's from "farewell" speech from the House Speaker's pulpit.. BTW.. what is a Swanza? Hmmm.. maybe a combination word for Swastika-Nazi?

---
Hmmm... experts ... and of course, politicians are predicting Sam Bankman-Fried won't go to jail for his FTX Bitcoin SCAM! When I see'em talking about it, my skin crawls... probably because these people are probably just as guilty of scamming people financially, and don't want to be charged for the same crime... Just look at the scams the Democrats have pulled on the American Recovery Act, the Infrastructure bill, and now the Omnibus bill.. they all belong behind bars!

---
Have you ever thought about why Kentucky has a Democrat Governor while it has two of the loudest, most visible, most vocal Republican Senators in Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul. If McConnell and Paul aren't interested in keeping the Governor of Kentucky in the Republican folds, why is McConnell in charge of helping get Republican Senators elected in other states.. Sorta clears up this past election season results.

---
The Democrats are confused... why does anyone vote for one.. While Resident Biden and Chuckles Harris are welcoming the world to cross our border illegally, the Democrat Governor of Kentucky told his American citizens to STAY HOME for Christmas! Illegal aliens can cross desert lands in freezing weather, but he feels Americans shouldn't cross a few streets to unite with their families.

---
The Republican strategy for the next few years should be to campaign on changing the rules of Congressional Bills. Instead of pork amendments being attached to unrelated aspects of any bill, the rule should be that no amendment to any bill can be attached unless such amendments/attachments are completely related to, or to restraining use of, or clarifying the specific limits of the main bill. Also, all new bills have at least one "sunset date" that a future Congress must reconfirm it, well, unless a new bill is passed to defund an existing bill that was previously passed without a "sunset provision".

---
Online headline: "House Jan 6 Committee releases final 814-page report, recommends Donald Trump be barred from running in 2024" -- Think about this... How can the Supreme Court uphold this move when it has been blatantly clear that Nancy PeLOUSY violated Presidents Trump's Civil Rights to a "fair trial" by using a "jury of her peers" because Queen PeLOUSY hand picked the jurors?

---
For a short time. Stanford "banned" the word "American" from use on camp[us.. fortunately, one professor brought it to attention OUT OF CALIFORNIA, and the school corrected itself.... still waiting to see if that professor returns to campus after Christmas Break...or whatever Stanford called it...

---
All of a sudden TikTok wants to "work with" the US government on forgiveness for spying on every user..... You did know that Trump was working on stopping TikTok but Congress wouldn't work with him.. Hmmm... wonder how many Washington Democrats now wish they had listen to him ? Hmmm.. wonder if "the Big Guy" will still get his 10%?

---
Did you hear that 379,000,000 fatal doses of Fentanyl have been intercepted at the border (or in transport through mid December this year). That's more than enough poisonous doses for every man, woman, whatever, and child in America? Now, the big question... how much Fentanyl HAS gotten in?

---
From the "The Dems might regret what they wished for" department - Online headline/story: "Trump's taxes: House OKs bill on IRS audits of presidents" -- Wow! Presidential audits! The Republicans have been handed Resident Biden and his son Hunter's laptop on a Platinum Platter!

---
Online story: "Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed Jared Smith to fill one of the three vacancies Tuesday on the newly created 6th District Court of Appeal, which will be based in Lakeland. Smith’s appointment will take effect Jan. 1. * Smith lost the August election for his judicial seat to Tampa attorney Nancy Jacobs. The unusually contentious race saw abortion loom as a key issue. * Smith became a target of criticism from reproductive rights advocates after an appeals court overturned his decision in a case involving a 17-year-old girl who sought a judicial waiver to obtain an abortion without her parents’ consent." -- Excuse me, but what judge.. even doctor or hospital would allow a minor to get an abortion without her parent(s) signing an admittance form and taking a responsibility for the bill?

---
From the "as George Burns might say, "Goodnight Queen PeLOUSY: department - Online headline/story: "Pelosi takes swipe at Trump in her final press conference as speaker * “I was speaker and minority leader under President Bush, under President Obama, under what’s-his-name,” Pelosi said, referring to Trump." -- Excuse me, but didn't she "dis" Resident Biden even more but not acknowledging him at all? In fact.. could she have meant "Biden" rather than "Trump" with her "what’s-his-name" comment.. Any way, hate to be repetitive, but like my grandfather use to tell me, if your opponent is in self-destruct mode.. just let her do it to herself..

---
Talk about irony.. China dispensed 71 warplanes and 7 ships towards Taiwan... and Taiwan is looking for help from Resident "Mr. 10%" Biden...

---
Republicans could reinvigorate Independent voters for 2024 by separating the Military Budget from the Operational and Services Budget so "perks could not be made to get Congresspersons to vote for the Operational and Services Budget and blame doing so on the importance of the Military Budget..


---
Two things to ponder here:  There's not enough lipstick in the WORLD... and this is even more PORK than Jimmy Dean can process!



---
Online headline: "3 Washington state electric substations vandalized" -- Hmmm.. but deep down we must ask ourselves is "vandalism" what happened.... or... did Bill Gates' "Windows Software" just crash again?

Thursday, December 22, 2022

 No wonder the Democrats are so enthused about sending our money to Ukraine... Learned today for the first time that Zelenskyy's primary goal is to oust Putin from the Russian. Good grief... if he's successful, who would take over Russia and have his (no "her" possibility here) finger on the vast nuclear arsenal.. Oh! And also learned the Zelenskyy  has closed Christian churches and arrested pastors.... and we haven't heard because of liberal control of information and conversation.

That's 22 homicides per 100,000 population and puts Columbus in unfortunate company...

Justin Krieg, director of planning and programs for Historic Columbus, said the building is now used by the Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Greater Columbus Georgia Chamber of Commerce." -- Hmmm.. and when will it be dismantled? Pemberton was also a Confederate Lt Colonel during the Civil War...don't laugh ......

---
In his pre-Congress Speech interview with Resident Biden, Zelenskyy seemed to apologize for mixing his Ukraine language in with English...what for... Resident Biden laughed and nodded in agreement.. which.. more or less.. showed that Resident Biden didn't understand a word he said in either language.

$3.7 billion (that's right,,, $3.7 BILLION!) in the 1.7 TRILLION dollar Omnibus bill (as in new tax hike bill) is earmarked for a joke... the Michelle Obama Trail.. hmmm ..something that would be better spent on a "Michelle and Barack Obama TRIAL" ...

 Sorry for missing yesterday! Woke up with "dual bodily evacuations", but obviously a 24-hour bug (3 of my grandchildren and two of their parentals has suffered he same over the weekend). Back on my feet this morning......

Thank heaven the US Supreme Court has extended the Title 42 provision at our Southern Border...let's hope Chuckles Harris gets the word out.. in Spanish, this time... of "DON"T COME!"

Online "headLIE": "5 unlikely US cities that struggled with rising violent crime in 2022" -- "UNLIKELY US cities"...Wrong! They are all Democrat run cities!

Online headline: "AOC swipes Republicans over not supporting minimum wage raise, gets reminded Democrats killed the bill * In 2021, seven Democrats in the U.S. Senate opposed the bill" -- Heh heh heh.... AOC... Another Old Crow...

Though it hasn't "fully passed". yet... a Continuing Resolution Bill (a.k.a. The Omnibus Bi;\ll)is loaded with crap...the most egregious two aspects of are "requires $410 million to "remain available" to reimburse Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia and Oman for "enhanced border security." " and than there's this.... "the bill allocates $1.56 billion to Customs and Border Protection for "border management requirements" and $339.6 million to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for "non-detention border management requirements," funds that are prohibited from being used to "acquire, maintain, or extend border security technology and capabilities" unless they’re for improving processing. " -- With all that has... and is... going on, the Democrats still won't protect our Southern Border states nor support the safety our CBP agents..

---
The Republicans need to start working on the Supreme Court to get the "Citizenship Question" back on the 2030 Census Forms since it was taken off in 1990. When illegal aliens are counted the same as citizens, it increases the number of Congressional Representatives in the states they are bused to or end up living in.

---
A Venezuelan man at our border was talking to a Fox reporter about our responsibility to allow him in to work to take care of his family. Wait a minute... he has more responsibility to take back his country from the illegally ruling Maduro, and why isn't Resident Biden helping the Venezuela people take back their country like he's helping Ukraine?

Online headline: "Biden, in newly released Nov. 4 video, says Iran nuclear deal 'dead'" -- Hmmm... and when will the White House "walk this back"?

Online "headLIE"/story: GOP scores win in $1.7T budget deal by cutting IRS funding — but the agency still cashes in * IRS gets less funding from budget, but big boost from Inflation Reduction Act * Senate Republicans forced Democrats and the White House to cut more than $275 million from the IRS over the next year. " -- Good grief! What the heck does $275 Million mean when last year the IRS was give $80 BILLION to hire 87,000 :armed: IRS agents to scrutinize wealthy people's tax forms.. Wealthy people already have accountants that make more money that anybody the IRS will hire to make sure their clients are within the existing IRS laws...

---
Online headline: "ICE training videos reveal agency lost track of 150K illegal migrants due to Biden admin's lack of processing" -- Good grief! The 150,000 is just the number of illegal aliens ICE knows about.

Finally got some much needed information for both Columbus citizens and the Columbus GA Council:
                                                Columbus, Georgia
 
                             Murders and aggravated Assaults (GUNS)
 
Murders (by guns)                                     32
 
Gun Related Aggravate Assaults                 475
 
Total                                                       507

First, the Murders/homicides do not include other forms (child abuse, vehicular, hand inflicted, or other weapons, et al) but what I have tried to get out were the number of gun crimes committed that didn't cause an immediate death (saved by emergency care at Piedmont Hospital.. What I don't know is who Piedmont is charging for their emergency care, but I don't think Piedmont will disclose publicly.

Secondly, we will never know the costs of what the 475 non-fatal gun assaults will cost our city/society in the future.

With hope, now that citizens and their Councilors NOW KNOW the number of Gun Assaults from January 1, 2022 through December 18, 2022, our police department will get the full support of the Public Safety SPLOST passed in 2008, and MORE support from our Council.

 Online "story": "Rep. Liz Cheney will make a last high-profile stand against Donald Trump when the House Jan. 6 committee holds its final public meeting Monday — as sources say it's preparing to recommend the first-ever criminal charges against a former president. * It's cost the Wyoming Republican her political career to take on Trump, but she's said she has no regrets — making the case she has a higher mission: to keep him from ever regaining the White House." -- WRONG! Her "legacy" won't be about her vindictive actions against Trump, but how she abandoned the will.. and wishes.. of those those she promised to represent.

As cold as it was here in Columbus, GA this past weekend, this coming one will be a DOOZY! down in the teens,. Now.. what's going to happen when those temporary metal water pipes throughout the Uptown area freeze up? Even Santa may have a hard time making deliveries in the Uptown area!

Online "headLIE" : "Republicans talk of 'chaos' at the border without Title 42 but don't have better plan: California Sen. Alex Padilla" -- Good grief! Initiating .. and continuing the effective Title 42 was/is the Republican Plan for success.. eliminating it IS the Democrat plan of chaos..

---
Online headline: "Stacey Abrams ’may run' for political office in the future" -- Hmmm.. guess she's inspired that a two time loser like Biden could get elected on the third try...

Online story: "The Biden administration announced plans Friday to provide nearly 2 million barrels of oil to refineries through an emergency exchange * In this case, the Energy Department agreed to provide 1.2 million barrels of oil from the SPR to Exxon-Mobil and 600,000 barrels to Phillips 66. * Emergency exchanges allow oil refineries to borrow oil from the SPR for a short period due to supply disruptions such as hurricanes or pipeline outages. Unlike with emergency sales such as the record-setting release of 180 million barrels announced in March, this oil must be returned." -- Good grief! All this wouldn't be necessary if Biden hadn't SHUT DOWN oil production on his 1st Day in Office!

I swear to God, I hate you.” The student continues, saying, “You’re the worst teacher ever. You get me taken out in handcuffs because I won’t apologize? Because I won’t apologize, you started yelling at me. You tried to embarrass me about my paper. * Police were not called by the professor in the video but by another faculty member “only after their de-escalation efforts failed, * “the professor is very emotional and shaken by all of this,” said Gingles, the university spokesperson. “There have been several threats to her safety, which of course are cause for alarm.” * We understand that the weaponization of police is a prevalent problem in our community; however, that is not what happened in this incident,” university’s chancellor Elwood Robinson." -- "weaponization of police"? Hmmm ... and it was a female HBCU professor who asked the police to remove the student. from the classroom....the assessment of the situation as being "racists" eclipses all past and future issues.

Online headline/story: "TV Crew Announced for Georgia vs Ohio State * Play-by-play announcer Chris Fowler will be with his trusty color commentator Kirk Herbstreit, a former Ohio State quarterback," -- Hmmm... an OHIO State alum will be on the microphone... hmmm... hope ABC "muffles" him on any replays or OSU penalties.. Oh! I think it will be fair, then, for SEC refs to call the game..

---
From the "liberals twisted semantics" department - Online "headLIE" and story: "Fact check: Republican congressman falsely claims Democratic congresswoman said pedophilia isn't a crime * What Porter actually said: " this allegation of ‘groomer’ and of ‘pedophile,’ it is alleging that a person is criminal somehow, and engaged in criminal acts, merely because of their identity, their sexual orientation, their gender identity." -- Good grief! Allowing NAMBLA associated members in the LBGTQ+ world is basically criminal activity for convenience sake!

The loan has a 15-year fixed-rate term with three years of interest payments and a 35-year amortization." -- Hmmm.. and a quick peek at the Muscogee County Tax Database shows Atlanta-based TBG bought the complex in April of 2020 for $2.3 Million, then sold it in June to Harper Woods Apartment s for $1,15 Million )half of he original expenditure, and now it's sold to another out-of-town firm for $2,7 Million. Sounds like some "fancy paper work" was involved...Now.. looking at the Tax-Database, there's no units belonging to individual "homeowners" .. looks like another taxpayer (YOU AND ME) supplemented apartment complex.. hardly one that should be considered "affordable homes"...

Online headline/story: "Georgia Considering Major Change After Herschel Walker's Loss * Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is calling for state lawmakers to end runoff elections. " -- Absolutely not! Impeach Raffensperger if he pursues such.. A Democracy can only survive when the decisions of the majority are what matters. Nowhere does Democracy say, "plurality rules"! Eliminating statewide runoffs would invigorate vote fraud in the Atlanta area!

"finish in the black"? That means the state DOT has taken in more than necessary, so the state needs to refund the counties based on the percentages each county paid in! There was no provision.. no condition in the ballot language that said the state could take in more money that wasn't to be spent on the projects.

Online headline: "Georgia should create HBCU economic prosperity planning districts, state Senate committee recommends" -- Wait a minute!

"ALLOWED"? Good grief! We shouldn't even have.. NEED .. something like Title 42! First.. people trying to cross our border without compliance to our laws are ALIENS.. not "migrants", but if our existing ... PREVIOUSLY ON THE BOOKS.. laws were enforced PROPERLY, we wouldn't need something like Title 42!

Haven't heard back from the Columbus Police Department, but the Councilperson did respond that though the CPD reports all to the "media", it's not reported to Council, but media could keep up with and report it.

Sometimes, "new technology" not a good thing.....take the current voting laws in Muscogee County (not sure of other GA counties or state situation) that require "signature match" at the polls. We use to actually fill out a signature form that a precinct official would visually compare to our Photo ID, but now we use an "stick" or fingertip to "sign", and there's no way the comparison can be "verified".

"I don't understand it, so I will probably stay away from it until I get a full understanding of what it is." -- "just a paid spokesman for a commercial"? Talk about bursting the balloon of integrity for all advertising by "celebrity faces"! I've always been a fan of Shaq O'Neal as a b-ball player, movie actor, and a businessman... but I'm going to have a tough time giving him anymore credibility since he just confessed to prostituting his Name-Image-Likeness for money rather than because he had faith in the product..

After Elon Musk's 6th "dump" of internal Twitter e-mails, the question most asked has been, "Does anyone trust the FBI anymore?".

"And as of today, CIA has completely disclosed more than 84,000 of those to the public without any redactions. That amounts to about more than 95% of those documents, released in full." -- Hmmm... lets parse " more than 95% of those documents, released in full".... If we were looking forward to a tasty "meat and potatoes" feast... we got the potatoes,, but not the "meat and gravy"...or salt...

Secondly, saying any Illinois Republican is actually a Republican is a mighty big stretch..Thirdly.. he's not going back to Washington...

Online story: "WASHINGTON — The last time leaders of the African continent were invited to the White House, Barack Obama was president. It was August 2014, and Vladimir Putin had just invaded Ukraine — for the first time. The world was grappling with a deadly virus: Ebola. And Joe Biden was vice president of the United States. * Now Biden is president, and he has invited the leaders of 49 African countries to the White House for the first time since the Obama summit (five countries did not receive invitations) * “Trump didn’t seem to attach any importance to a valuable relationship with Africa,” says W. Gyude Moore, a senior policy fellow at the Center for Global Development and a former official in the Liberian government." -- The real "pieces of the puzzle" that are missing have nothing to do with Trump..but what hasn't been done .. or acknowledged or addressed by Obama..Biden... or the Congressional Black Democrats Caucus... open discussion about slavery in Africa is still a huge issue.. or the other huge American issue... that Biden has defined how Blacks must define themselves...

I agree with Elon Musk that the "kid" on Twitter that posts the whereabouts of his and other celebrity owners' jets should be controlled for publicly revealing private individuals locations (a.k.a. "doxxing") is not covered by 1st Amendment Rights..but instead of "banning" "the kid", just turn the tables on him.. assign one of his satellites to track "the kids" every movement, and post the addresses of his visits to his friends and families homes...

As she drove away, the tank flipped tipped over starting the fire." -- Question one is whether or not the Propane Tank location/site was 'Fire Department Approved"..it seems doubtful when considering the tank flipped over before the fuel hose broke off... Secondly.. when is the MCSD going to move the bus operation there to the area behind old Brown Avenue School, and market the extremely valuable Whitesville Road location?

Bankman-Fried's "swindle" is closer to $16 BILLION.. not $1.8 Billion.. but why is there any hesitation by any politician.. in any party.. in returning any donation initiated by Bankman-Fried?

---
Online headline: "Scientists invent ‘game-changing’ electric car battery that never loses charge capacity" -- "never loses charge capacity"?

Of course, he'll probably run for governor or Congress down there...

Jentoft is a transgender female that often refers to herself as a lesbian mother. * The post on Gjevjon’s Facebook page under investigation read, "It’s just as impossible for men to become a lesbian as it is for men to become pregnant. Men are men regardless of their sexual fetishes."" -- Good grief! Our Democratic Party wants this, too..

* A third state employee is also joining in on the suit because she said the plan denied benefits to her transgender son who is on her health care plan." -- Seriously? I can't imagine our state's employee healthcare coverage to include "plastic/cosmetic surgery" to any employee unless if was to repair damages caused by some accident or condition that wasn't just the patient's personal.. or elective... desire. And the doctor's opinion has to be tempered by their monetary greed..

Online story: "Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has called on state lawmakers to eliminate general election runoffs." -- GA Secretary of State Raffensperger needs to be impeached! He wants to eliminate runoffs in General Elections... That would give immense power to 3rd Party candidates to undermine Democracy.. by undermining Democracy, I mean having leaders that represent less than the majority interest of the voters.. nowhere in any definition or concept of "Democracy" is it stated or implied that a "plurality", versus the majority, should rule.

---
Speaking of 3rd Parties even being allowed on the ballot when they can't draw at least 5% of the votes in a Governors or Congressional race..GA's Libertarians proved more destructive than Antifa in 2020 and this year, too! They caused our state to give our voice to a President who did not represent a majority of Georgians, and caused runoffs in the last three Senatorial races, then basically boycotted the runoff races. If Libertarians are not willing to go and support either of the remaining candidates in the runoff after causing the runoff, then they are "nothing but clanging cymbals".

Congress has no money...except what it siphons from taxpayers wallets, and the "America Rescue Plan Act" is one of.. if not the absolute worst Democratic Party "bills" ever partisanly passed act to BUY Democrat Party voters! Shame on Council for even WANTING to pass it along to SELECT private businesses or organizations..

Dimon, Georgetown and Lonnie Jackson elementary schools are among the 59 schools on this year’s TSI list. All of them entered the list because their test scores for students with disability didn’t show enough content mastery to meet the state standard." -- It's bad enough that out state's standard is low, but having close to 20% of our schools even lower is disgraceful! It's particularly grievous that schools carrying the names of dedicated leaders who made a difference are in this group.. names like Dorothy Height, Martin Luther King, Jr, and Lonnie Jackson.. Hey, MCSB.... do something about this!
