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: "Musk fires his best employee… himself. Can next Twitter CEO keep free speech alive?" -- Hmmm.. I figure Elon Musk already has his replacement in mind...

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 "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.

Online headline: "CNN's Don Lemon has testy exchange with Texas Republican over border crisis: 'You said a lot of things'" -- Hmmmm...Like Lemon has any "friends" that have been to the border to give him eye-witness info to contradict any Texas Representative.

Online headline: "Stacey Abrams roasted by ex-staffers, media over cutting pay to campaign team right after loss" --Hmmm sorta tells me Abram's staff was working for the money, not for believing in Abrams...

Online story: "Several media outlets and talking heads have encouraged parents to rethink having children because human beings — even small ones like kids — risk polluting the world and causing global climate destruction." -- Hmmm... sounds to me that these "talking heads" should be chastising THEIR OWN parents before anyone else's.

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.
