Online headline: "WNBA star Brittney Griner was released from Russian custody Thursday in a prisoner swap with arms dealer Viktor Bout." -- While we are thankful Griner has been returned to the US, we have to wonder this: What is it with Biden? As VP, he released GITMO terrorists who rejoined Taliban/ISIS, he turned over Afghanistan back to Taliban/ISIS leadership, and now he's returning a "butcher" to Putin in exchange for a "I'm a celebrity so I should be above the law" athlete..

From the "What hell hath the NCAA wrought" department - Online headline/story: "Ohio State's Gene Smith Soliciting “Additional Support” For NIL Collectives * “Recent guidance updates from the NCAA clarified how schools can be involved in name, image and likeness activities of student-athletes.The Buckeyes have previously expressed a concern about falling behind other schools, including those that offer direct payments to recruits and players under the guise of NIL, which is not permitted under NCAA rules. * Head coach Ryan Day told members of the local business community this summer that it would take $13 million in NIL opportunities to keep the current roster intact. Smith's statement would suggest that number is increasing." -- "it would take $13 million in NIL opportunities to keep the current roster intact"? Good grief! As I recall, the NCAA restricts scholarship football players to 85, which would mean that Ohio State players would get on average 1$153,000,000.00 each (($13 Million divided by 85)... annually! That would mean that other than the handful that might get drafted annually, the rest would leave OSU at taking a pay cut for a real world job...

Online "election fraud": "President Joe Biden’s administration on Thursday announced the infusion of nearly $36 billion to shore up a financially troubled union pension plan, preventing severe cuts to the retirement incomes of about 350,000 Teamster workers and retirees across the United States. * “It’s about everything you worked for,” Biden said, with union officials standing behind him. “It’s about finding a dignified retirement.” * The money for the Central States Pension Fund is the largest amount of federal aid provided for a pension plan, the Biden administration said. It comes from the American Rescue Plan, a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package that he signed into law in 2021." -- Wait a minute! $36 BILLION dollars of tax dollars going to 350,000 Railroad Union members announced just after mid-term elections.. That's over $102,000.00 per union member.... FOR THEIR VOTING SUPPORT! And when you add spousal voters for the union members, that could mean the buying of 700,000 VOTES!! Now, when will announcement come regarding payoffs to other area union pension groups?

WTVM-TV9 headline/story: "WTVM Investigates: Seven people left stranded at the Greyhound Bus station in Columbus (GA) * four passengers were all foreigners from Honduras, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. None of them could speak English. All were complete strangers except for a very frightened 12-year-old girl and her mother." -- While I'm proud of how our community responded to the passengers plights, this bothered me: "4 passengers were all foreigners from Honduras, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. None of them could speak English."? With the bus coming from Houston, TX, are we talking about illegal aliens freely "moving about our country" unsupervised and without future contact information.. We already hear of late night flights coming into the Columbus Airport with such...

Regardless,,, now with Biden's zero security, swinging door policy at our Mexican Border, Obrador's life is endangered, and
he has full access to come and go to America as he pleases...
