How come Democrats get concerned about the state of Social Security ONLY when hey AREN'T FULLY IN CONTROL? And how come the Democrats feel that only pushing the retirement date back is the only solution? And how come Democrats never suggest cutting back Social Security programs to illegal aliens and others who have not participated in funding the their own accounts? Democrats are nothing more than ... as describe in 1st Corinthians 13:1.... "clanging cymbals".

When Obama and Biden left office in January of 2017, they left our supplies of respirators and other pandemic equipment/supplies empty...barren.. Donald Trump had to replenish it, and basically by himself until the dire needs caused by Covid-19 became a threat to BLUE state politicians. Now, we are faced with Biden depleting our nations defensive capabilities by sending so many military missiles and equipment to Ukraine so that the next president will take office without adequate supplies in our military arsenal. Heaven help us if Xi Jinping chooses January of 2025 to engage Taiwan, or America for that matter, with an invasion.

After seeing :trailers" for two new movies coming out.."Brady for Eighty" and the sequel to "The Book Club", I decided they looked funny enough to ease up on my distaste of Jane Fonda (for the agony she caused to America, and our prisoners-of-war on her traitorous trip to Vietnam) and see those movies anyway. ... Then, the other show dropped.. she called responsible, concerned, and caring people RACIST because they don't believe the Climate Change advocates are honest and all knowing. Hey Hollywood.. hey Hollywood actors/actresses... anything attached to Jane Fonda will not be supported by me nor my bride, and I'm sure most of my nearly 200,000 blog viewers.

I've enjoyed my "blog name" for California Democrat Representative Adam Schiff.. a,k,a, "A Dam Schi**, but yesterday I heard an even better one..I'd give more credit to WHO said it, but it was on a Fox PANEL discussion, and, while I heard it, I did not see who said it.. Any way, his new "blog name" is... "Bull-Schiff"!

You know, I've heard many defense attorneys are asking police officers to ditch their uniforms and wear civilian apparel when testifying in court because most jurors the police and a uniform may influence jurors. Whatta shame for a defense attorneys to feel that way...

You know... the more we hear about Classified Documents Procedures, the more obvious it appears that any classified document that was in the hands of a VP or any Senator or House Representative, and a National Archives "deliverer" who did not stay and take delivery back from the recipient was breaking the law. Arrest them all if they had anything to do with any still missing documents from the National Archives files.

From the "talk about hypocrisy!" department - Online headline/story: "Liberals lose it after ACLU defends Trump being reinstated to Facebook and Instagram: ‘Absolute bollocks’
* This is the right call. Like it or not, President Trump is one of the country’s leading political figures and the public has a strong interest in hearing his speech." the ACLU responded" -- Hmmm.. typical Liberal response.. a person or organization can say/do thing they agree with for 99 straight situations, but when such people/organizations pause and think about things, Liberals try to destroy them on the spot.. You know.. that's exactly what "bullies" do..

Hmmm... On Day One, the new Pennsylvania governor dumbed down the requirements for 65% of the jobs within the government by eliminating college degree requirements. Hmmm... guess he is trying to act as Biden did about signing so many regrettable Executive Orders on Day One of his administration.

This is a copy of an e-missive I sent to the three GA legislators .. the two I can vote for, plus the GA House Chairman of the Rules Committee:

Gentlemen... friends,

Y'all cannot allow the elimination of runoff Elections to become "the law".. doing so will cost GA dearly by weakening the conservative voice at the state level.. Y'all have seen how the effect of adding Libertarian candidates on the statewide ballots has hurt Republican candidates and GA alike. If Raffensperger "gets his way", we will see a Democrat effort to put more and more conservative-sounding "independents" in key races hoping to split the conservative vote, this allowing Democrats to win with a plurality of voters.. Gentlemen... whether a Republic or a Democracy, our leadership NEEDS to be elected by the majority of voters.

Thanks,
Hal Kirven

Online headline: "Georgia Democrats criticize Kemp over teacher raises" -- Hmmm...So the Democrats are "pleased" with the teachers raises...but "feel" it could be better because GA is doing so well... Hmmm... of course GA is doing well ... but mainly because Democrats are not running the state.

Heard a good discussion on TV about students NOT having cellphones in classrooms.. I remember my "dinosaur age" time in school (pre cellphones), and if we talked in class or got caught passing notes to other classmate, it meant 'detention".. After a few trips to after school "detention", most of us figured out how to avoid future "detentions" and took that lesson forward in our "today lives". It's time for our school board/officials to return order to the classrooms by keeping students' cellphones out of the classrooms!

---
Online headline: "S.C., Ga. join effort to jam cellphone signals inside prisons" -- hmmm... wouldn't it be better just to "ping" cellphones in jail, and take ones away that "ping" in prisoner areas that aren't carried by prison guards?

Hmmm.. maybe "pinging" students cellphones in the Columbus, GA School Systems could work also!

From the "Figures don't lie, but liars figure a lot" department - WTVM-TV9 headline/story: "December unemployment rates decrease in Columbus * The labor force increased in Columbus by 176 and ended the month with 121,842. That number went down by 904 when compared to December of 2021. * Columbus finished the month with 117,869 employed residents. That number increased by 428 over the month and went down by 815 when compared to a year ago. * Columbus ended December with 123,400 jobs. That number went up by 300 from November to December and rose by 1,900 when compared to 2021. * The number of unemployment claims went up by 43 percent in Columbus, in December. When compared to December 2021, claims were up by 16 percent." -- This sounds like a clip from Chuckles "word sales" Harris! First.. December "employment figures" are meaningless by them selves.. it's the Christmas season and temporary jobs are readily available.. and December figures should be combine with January's "post Christmas period" when temp jobs end..secondly - no comparison figure used against November .. rather than the previous December should ever be taken as an "upward trend"..

Online headline: "Home for Good: Homeless count shows a 13.5% increase for East Alabama and West Georgia" -- Hmmm...Former Mayor, TT Tom-LYING-son's "program" to "End Homelessness in 10 Years" has failed... it's "funny" the reporter didn't get her comments on the failure... of course, she probably would have blamed Trump for it... hmmm... maybe she could at least donate copies of her keys to the "Tee-tee Tom-LYING-son Lounge" under the 14th Street Walking Bridge so the homeless could have a place "to go".

---
Online headline: "Harris County visitors center officially opens" -- Hmmm...sounds like Harris County's Chamber and Visitors Bureau are going all out to sway a lot of new residents to live there versus Columbus. Hey Columbus GA Council and Chamber.. looks like Harris County has thrown down the "gauntlet"!

Online headline/story: "Third grade literacy a top focus of Georgia Senate’s GOP leaders * The Georgia Department of Education, which oversees testing, reported this summer that just 36% of third graders scored proficient or better on the 2022 state Milestones tests for English Language Arts, which measure reading and writing. That means nearly two-thirds of those students could not read or explain texts at their grade level." -- No amount of discussion will change things for the good until no child who cannot meet the 3rd Grade reading skills level should be promoted to the next level...the same with 4th graders and their reading level... so on & so on &....in the words of Buzz Lightyear, "To infinity and beyond!"

Why are Democrats so eager "to go down the LYING rabbit hole with George Santos"? If it weren't for ads lying about "their conservative political positions", very few Democrats could ever get re-elected...

Oh! for the record.. this statement has been "marked" for YAHOO News approval before it gets published on line..

From the "reading between the lines" department - Online headline/story: "McCarthy might have a math problem in blocking Omar from panel * Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) said this week she’ll oppose the measure, calling McCarthy’s move “unprecedented” while citing her opposition to Democrats’ successful removal of GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) and Paul Gosar (Ariz.) from committees in 2021. * “Two wrongs do not make a right,” she said in a statement. " -- Hmmm.. Obviously, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-0 MN. does not belong on the House Foreign Affairs Committee due to her previous stands and comments on America.. so voting FOR her would be the WRONG thing.. therefore voting FOR Omar would be the second wrong in the "2 wrongs don't make a right" analogy.

Online story: "The Milwaukee Bucks featured a drag show as part of their Pride Night festivities on Wednesday, with the event taking place at halftime of their game against the Denver Nuggets at Fiserv Forum." -- Good grief! The NBA's "take on this was that fans were free to leave their seats" ... but there's no way 17,385 fans could be put in other parts of the arena at the same time... hmmm.. I also wonder if the Bucks shared their player's locker room with them?

This is a Columbus, GA issue... Rumors.. though not confirmed as actual.. are that there MAY be "antifa" action on Broadway at the Brasfield-Gorrie construction site at 13th St protesting the death of the antifa member who shot a GS State Trooper at the Brasfield-Gorrie's construction site at the Atlanta Police/Fire Training site.. Like I said.. it's still a rumor.... but one that could affect a lot of people's Friday night plans... Check news sources before dining in Uptown this evening...

Obvious "headLIE": "FBI Director Chris Wray says people with access to classified information need to be more 'conscious of the rules'"--"be more conscious of the rules"? WRONG! They must be more conscious of KNOWING and OBEYING the rules!
