Happy Groundhog Day! Looks like this year's version will have a little twist in what the shadows reveal:

---
The FED raised the interest rate for the 8th STRAIGHT MONTH.. Will someone explain to Resident Biden and CNN that 8 straight months of raises is a certain sign we are in a RECESSION!

---
From the "Maxwell Smart's "Would believe..." department - Is this government going to pot? Well, would you believe that there is a opportunity on tour government's Social Security website for amending your gender?

We just found out that the FBI searched the Penn Biden Center in mid-November... Well, then how come the FBI didn't search Biden's home in Delaware until January?

---
The House voted on a bill that would require all Federal workers to return to their offices to work after being "allowed" to work from home.. Depending on whether you read the headline or content 205 or 206 Democrats voted against this! (3 did vote for it, and 3 or 4 did not vote.. guess they were working from home and found out they could no longer vote by computer/phone/proxy) Can you imagine how much of our individual and country's "data" has been compromised by having thousands and thousands of Federal workers operating on their home computers?

---
I heard a former Democrat House Representative on Fox's "Outnumbered" show talking piously about how he's always been against the Fentanyl drugs illegally smuggled across our Southern Border... yet not one of the 4 women asked him about how he's voted on Border wall construction or if he'd ever brought up a bill that would address border security. Shame on FOX!

Socialist Senator BERNIE SANDERS if Vermont has an event coming up .... an Anti-Capitalism event... Tickets are available at $55, $75, and $95.. Hmmmm... you know, why are there different prices on his tickets?... Why aren't they all one price? I guess Bernie is a "closet capitalist" who's capitalizing on making more money on better seats.... no different than any concert entertainer..

---
Yep... those illegal aliens in NYC are definitely grateful....NOT! The three single men in the Watson Hotel were "kicked out" so those rooms could be used by illegal alien families, and, instead of taking lesser accommodations gratefully, they complained about going to 'lesser' accommodations. Guess we know they will eventually become Democrat voters if they get amnesty...

---
Online headline: "US forces intercept thousands of assault rifles, ammo, anti-tank missiles from Iran * Iran has sought to support Houthi rebels in Yemen with lethal aid via illegal weapons trafficking in the area" -- Have you noticed that since Resident Biden became "Meanderer-in-chief", how much more aggressive Iran, Afghanistan's Taliban/ISIS, China, Russia, and North Korea have become?

---
Online "headLIE": "Biden needs 'firewall' between him and Hunter Biden's legal defense, former White House ethics chief says" -- WRONG! What Resident Biden needs is a "cell wall" between him, his brother, and Hunter!

---
Online headline: "Missouri AG doubles down on firing school officials who took students to drag show: 'It's a huge problem' * Missouri middle school students allegedly taken to drag show breakfast without parental consent" -- "without parental consent"? Is that the best the Missouri AG can do? The crime is a crime with or without a parents consent! The Missouri AG should poll the parents and remove their children if they would have GIVEN consent!

---
Online headline/story: "Georgia high school teacher hospitalized after brutal attack by student: 'We need zero tolerance' * "It's unclear what disciplinary action(s) the student is facing from the school or school system." -- Good grief! When discipline is "unclear", there IS NO DISCIPLINE.....and that IS the PROBLEM... and it's the same problem in our court system!

---
It's become a pandemic situation! Here's another School's problem with discipline: "Texas middle school teacher says he was placed on administrative leave after reporting student's threat" -- The root cause.. as Chuckles Harris would call it... is students.. like illegal border crossers... knowing that they won't be held responsible for their actions!

---
Good grief! Did you see where Resident Biden authorized resumption of a huge Alaska ConocoPhillips oil production/pipeline project after he crushed the Keystone XL Pipeline Project on Day 1 of his administration? You have to wonder how much ConocoPhillips donated to Murkowski's Senate race, and to Democrats being challenged in other states?

Online headline/story: "Trans woman faces indecent exposure charge for being naked in front of young girls at YMCA ladies' locker room * A transgender woman is facing complaints of indecent exposure after allegedly being naked in the presence of minor girls in the women's locker room of a YMCA in Ohio. * The outlet noted that Glines identifies as a woman and uses the name Rachel, but has not undergone transgender surgery. * The charges against Glines stemmed from at least three complaints from people who "reported seeing a naked male in the female’s locker room," one of which asserted juvenile girls were present, according to court records." * Xenia City Council president William Urschel was recorded commenting on the case, explaining the situation regarding one of the women who complained. * "So she went to the front desk and said, 'Hey, I don’t know if you know what’s going on, but there’s a naked man in there,'" Urschel said, according to the local outlet. "She was informed, 'No, this is actually a woman, and that you shouldn’t be disturbed by this.'" -- "actually a woman"? Just because a person feels he/she is something other than what he/she actually is doesn't make it so!

---
Online headline: "Resurfaced 'Mister Rogers' video features iconic TV star seemingly warning against transgenderism among kids * Lyrics to Rogers' decades-old song stated, 'Boys are boys from the beginning, Girls are girls right from the start'" -- Wow! Looks like Mister Rogers... and Tom Hanks for that matter... will soon be "canceled"!

---
From the "birds of a feather flock together" department - Online headline: "Major Democrat donor tied to Biden indicted for allegedly embezzling millions from suffering clients * Tom Girardi rubbed elbows with country's most powerful Democrats" -- Hmmm.. "indicted for allegedly embezzling millions from suffering clients"? Hmmm... sounds like "mere child's play" when compared to Resident Biden embezzling TRILLIONS from suffering American taxpayers!

---
Online story: "House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he and President Joe Biden had a "very good discussion" on how best to handle raising the debt ceiling, noting that he sees an "opportunity here to come to an agreement" that will satisfy both sides of the aisle." -- Hmmm... and by time you read this, I'm betting Karine Jean-Pierre has already "walked Biden's position back".

---
Online headline: "Rep. George Santos investigated by FBI over alleged dog charity scam" -- Hmmmm... I'm "OK" with the FBI investigating Santos... but only after they finish investigating Hunter Biden & Big Guy.

---
Another from the "birds of a feather flock together" department - Online headline: "New York Times columnist argues Joe Biden 'can be seen as the savior of the free world'" -- Good grief!.. It's the NYTimes... and like Biden, no one expects the NYTimes to talk about the truth...

---
Online headline: "AOC, other politicians paid thousands in campaign cash to Chinese foreign agent * DOJ forced Sing Tao US to register as Chinese foreign agent in August 2021" * a Fox News Digital review of campaign finance records has found: Reps. Kevin Mullin, D.-Calif., Grace Meng, D.-N.Y, and Nicole Malliotakis, R.-N.Y. joined Ocasio Cortez in pushing campaign cash to Sing Tao U.S., a subsidiary of the Hong Kong-based Sing Tao News Corporation Ltd, for advertising expenses during the midterm election cycle. * Those campaigns, in other words, had sent their money to a Chinese-owned entity that the Department of Justice forced to register as a Chinese foreign agent in August 2021 as tensions rose between Washington and Beijing." -- Good grief! Since the Chinese company was "outed" as an agent in August of 2021, these 4 liberals KNEW who they were dealing with in the 2022 election cycle.. now, what we really need to know is how much "under the table" money did the Chinese government feed these 4 candidates?

---
From the "Gary Coleman, "Whatchu talking about?" department - Online headline/story: "Al Sharpton claims if Tyre Nichols had been White, police 'wouldn’t have beat him like that' * The MSNBC host slammed the Memphis police department as he gave the eulogy at Nichols' funeral * "How do you have the same department and keep crime down on one side of town without beating folk to death, but you can’t do it on the other side of town unless you feel that you can get away with it there?" he asked." -- Good grief! Wonder if the 25th Amendment can be invoked on celebrity activists? While I do not live in Memphis, I am white and have always told my children that if they were ever "stopped" by a police officer to obey everything they are instructed to do.. I told them that if they are "innocent" of the charges, we can get them addressed in court, but do not make the police officer(s) have to resort to their trained procedures that involve any physical restraint. Most issues involving police "stops".. regardless of "which neighborhood" or "which side of town" would be passive if all parents instructed their children to respect the job police officers have...

---
Online headline: "NYPD sees largest staff exodus in decades with leaders 'refusing to acknowledge' mounting crisis" -- Wow! Over 3,700 NYC police officers called it "quits".... If you watch "Blue Bloods", ten you know that is over 10% of the NYPD that realizes Democrat Mayor Adams lied to them just to get their vote.

---
Online headline: "Georgia State * New bill would set mandatory minimum sentences for gang recruitment" -- Good grief! "mandatory minimums" will be the standard, and no gang member will worry about it! What we need are hardline sentences being the rule rather than an exception!

---
Online headline: "Columbus, GA leaders meeting with Chief Blackmon to discuss police use of force * several Columbus organizations have set up a meeting with Police Chief Freddie Blackmon to learn more about local police techniques to de-escalate situations. * The meeting, set for February, will highlight de-escalation tactics Columbus police officers use. It also comes following the brutal beating of Tyre Nichols in Memphis and multiple officer-involved shootings in Columbus, GA." -- Good grief! "private organizations" are going over the heads of the Mayor and Council... no wonder the Police Department personnel are so confused!

---
WTVM-TV9 Online headline/story: "One Rainey McCullers School of the Arts student unable to play baseball * A student who attends Rainey McCullers School of the Arts was told he could not play baseball at another school that offers sports, unlike Rainey McCullers. * “We were immediately denied said, ‘Nope there’s no sports for Rainey.’ You know there’s no option, so we kind of let that die for a little bit and then we started doing some research and we found out that the Georgia High school Association actually has a bylaw that allows for this exact situation where students who go to specialty or magnet schools can elect to go play for their home school.” * That is *IF* it’s approved by the local board of education for students to do so, according to the Georgia High School Association." -- Good grief! An ability to play competitive sports is ALSO an "art form"! Our school board should be expunged of any member that "feel" otherwise!

Columbus GA Council "activity":

"Ms. Theresa El-Amin, representing Southern Anti-Racism Network, spoke
about gentrification, evictions, and access to affordable housing. She
pointed out that gentrification occurs in Columbus and elsewhere when
neighborhood renovations result in higher rents that people cannot afford.

After this, Councilor Tucker brought up her desire for rent controls in certain
parts of the city to go along with Ms. El-Amin’s points. Councilor Crabb
said that the local and State realtor associations and looking into ways to
help ensure affordable housing costs around the State" -- Unbelievable! One of our Columbus GA Council members brought up putting private property under "Rent Control" as a way to promote "affordable housing"! Well Councilor Tucker, it's bad enough you got your personal home exempt from property taxes when you became a Councilor, but how can the City tax private owners at FMV when you want to devalue the value? And, Councilor Tucker, how can private owners even afford upkeep and repairs when they cannot get enough rent flow to afford maintenance ... For the record. I do not own any rental properties...

Columbus GA Council action:

"There was one emergency purchase not requiring Council approval: three
2022 Ford F150 XL, 4x2 SuperCrew Cab, with 5.5 ft. box 145-inch WB
trucks from Rivertown Ford (Columbus, GA) as follows: one at a unit cost
of $45,431.44; one at a unit cost of $45,927.44; and one at a unit cost of
$46,646.44; for a grand total of $138,005.32. The vehicles are needed for
new investigators of the Investigative Bureau of the Muscogee County
Sheriff’s Office. Vehicles ordered nearly two years ago have not been
delivered because of supply chain issues. Due to the lack of vehicles, the
Sheriff’s Office has searched for vehicles at a reduced cost for the
Investigation Bureau. Due to the exigent circumstances, the City Manager
concurs with the purchase of these vehicles. Funds are available in the
FY23 Budget via OLOST Public Safety Reserves." -- "not requiring Council approval"? Wait a minute! I thought the Public Safety "reserve" were the funds allocated for the "100 more police officers" that weren't used because the promise of 100 additional officers hasn't ever been fulfilled.

Online headline: "1st sweeping federal gun crime report in 20 years released" --Hmmmm...
and there's no mention of the "Obama-Holder era" gun sales to Mexican cartels known as "fast and furious".... not a very comprehensive release by the ATF...

---
Online headline: "No classified documents found in FBI search of Biden's beach house, lawyer says" -- And we wonder why... NOT! This search was less than 4 hours and done almost 3 months after documents were first found in a Biden-occupied site... something tells me the FBI basically "went through the motions" of a search...
