Online headline/story: "Kyle Rittenhouse hit with lawsuit from man he shot during 2020 Kenosha clash * Gaige Grosskreutz, who testified that he pointed a firearm at Rittenhouse before the then-teenager shot Grosskreutz and two others, is seeking economic losses, "damages for emotional distress, humiliation, loss of enjoyment of life, and other pain and suffering on all claims," and punitive damages." -- Hmmm... Let me get this right....A man who was chasing and accosting another man in a violent situation is suing the man he was chasing because the man defended himself? I wish Judge Judy was handling this case!

Have you seen the internal Republican Presidential polls? Trump 43%, DeSantis 41%... What I've often suggested could happen.. Trump-DeSantis in 2024, and DeSantis-Scott or Haley in 2028 & 2032.

Resident Biden gave an impassioned speech of sound bites to the Polish .. in English, of course, but I wonder who wrote the Teleprompter script.... One thing I agree with Biden on is Socialist dictators only understand one word, "NO!". Unfortunately, Biden doesn't know how...or when... to say "NO" to Socialist dictators.

Continue praying for Cuzzin Jimmy Carter... Pray for his comfort.. we know he's happy... content... knowing he'll not be remembered as the worst president in history.

The Democrats must really be concerned about Ron DeSantis' tour of BLUE cities promoting respect of police officers. Yesterday, Jessica Tarlov, A-List Democrat "contributor/trouble-shooter", was on Fox claiming liberals are just as upset and frustrated at criminals getting let back on the street within days.. even hours at times, of an arrest. .. Wait a minute! She's lying.. Democrats aren't going to change... not as long as they can get that group to vote for them!

You know, with the House of Representatives being the heartbeat of America, something needs to be done about the "seating arrangements" currently used.. There aren't assigned seats, so the Representatives sit to together by "parties" rather than with their other elected representatives from their states. I really believe if all the Representatives in states with more than one representative sat together, they would represent their states ... and America ... better. The same goes for the Senate as well.

I heard "anchorette" Dana Perino suggest streaming TV companies use "facial recognition" so she didn't have to keep "logging in" every time she wanted to watch something. THINK about that! That would mean your TVs would have cameras built in and could watch what you are doing or wearing throughout your home.. Maybe Fox can get her to apologize for her "stereotypical blonde" moment!

Online headline/story: "Arkansas is leading the way on new education reform * America’s schools are failing our kids. Between unscientific pandemic lockdowns, new curriculums designed to indoctrinate students, and years of administrative neglect, American children aren’t learning the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic anymore. It’s unacceptable and time for change. * Arkansas spends half our state’s budget on education, but only 35% of third graders can read at grade level. We know that reading by 3rd grade is imperative for a child’s success – up to this moment a child is learning to read and beyond this a student is reading to learn. Seventy percent of those incarcerated in Arkansas can’t read. We cannot allow this to continue. * This bill starts by immediately offering incentives to attract and retain the best teachers in the country. We will raise our starting teacher salary from $36,000 to $50,000 and give EVERY teacher a raise. Instead of being 48th in the nation for starting teacher pay, Arkansas will now be top five * That starts by giving parents the choice to send their children to the school that best meets their needs, no matter where they live, and no matter their income. We’re rolling out new Education Freedom Accounts to allow families to enroll their kids in whatever school is most appropriate, whether it be public, private, parochial, or homeschool." -- Hmmm...49 other states would probably benefit by passing this bill as their own... Hope our Columbus, GA School Board reads this, too.

Online headline: "Rosie O’Donnell goes on TikTok rant about Ohio train derailment: ‘Nothing’s being done about it’" -- "Nothing's being done about it"? Hmmmm... and what exactly is Rosie O'Donnell "doing about it"? It sounds like she's just copying Buttigieg's and Biden's "doing nothing about it".

Online story: "Former U.S. President Donald Trump has made it pretty clear over the years that he doesn’t think the rules apply to him. * That goes for the world of politics and, it would appear, the world of golf as well. * was recorded recently driving on the green of a golf course." -- Good grief! MSM would find fault with Trump if he was PUTTING on a green..MSM would probably complain if Trump was driving a law mower up & down a fairway.... Nothing is said about a golf cart exerting WAY LESS foot-pounds per square foot than WALKING across a green...

Online headline/story: "Duncan and Miller lead delegation on $110,000 European trip at the end of their terms * State Senator Emanuel Jones also went" -- hmmm It's easy to understand Duncan's egotism... he was outed in the primary as a left-leaning RINO...BUT it's completely obvious State Senator Emanuel Jones has no issues with showering himself with GA taxpayers' money, yet dishonors GA and GA's US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas by slurring Thomas' name.

WTVM-TV9 headline/story: "‘Horrific and tragic’: Columbus mayor speaks on gun violence in State of the City Address * he says he believes the root of the problem is the demise of the family. “The rise of violence in our country coincides with the deterioration of the family, * we asked they mayor to use one word to describe the state of the city. “Good,” says Mayor Skip Henderson." -- Hmmm.. Looks like a lightbulb finally turned on! The key to success, though, was being proactive rather than having to be reactive. Hmmm... The Mayor says the state of the city is "good"? Guess we're going to need a new slogan ... "We doing good" is not as "catchy" as "We do AMAZING".

WRBL-TV3 story: "COLUMBUS, Ga. ( WRBL ) — A Columbus non-profit CEO and member of the Muscogee County School Board has been elected to the Georgia Department of Transportation Board. * She must resign from her school board post before she is sworn into the DOT board, which is likely to be in early April." -- What a great opportunity...for the children of the Columbus, GA School System... fresh, eyes and insight are ahead!

Online headline/story: "Georgia Residents Can Only Have One State Driver's License by Jan. 15, 2023 - If You Have Licenses in 2 States Watch Out * Georgia's DMV is cracking down. They are now checking a state-to-state database to see if you have more than one state's driver's license and or ID." -- This will be a great addition to stopping voter fraud across the country! Now, Georgia.. well. ALL states, needs to stop college students from voting in their college towns when their driver's license addresses are not of that particular town or state...

Online headline: "Coca-Cola UNITED Breaks Ground on $85 Million Investment in Macon" -- What a missed opportunity for Columbus... home and burial site of Dr Pemberton who developed Coca Cola! Wonder if our Chamber is seeing this for the first time..

A GA State Representative is trying to make a case that all 17 year old criminals should be treated as "juveniles" in court. A couple of decades ago, I might have listened.. maybe even sympathized, but now we have 12 & 13 year olds carrying firearms, so I think every child committing an additional crime while in possession of a gun should be treated as an adult in court... The age of innocence has been lowered...

Online headline/story: "“Southern Co. reports huge rise in profits.” The subhead reported: “$1.1 billion jump noted despite big financial hit from Vogtle delays.” Georgia Power, a state-sanctioned monopoly, is set up, it is guaranteed profitability. Pretty good deal, huh?" -- Hmmm... and not too long ago, I asked Columbus GA Council why our property tax data shows that GA Power pays no property taxes anymore in Columbus, GA.. Never did hear back from any of them..

Online story: "House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., has reportedly given Fox News host Tucker Carlson exclusive access to thousands of hours of security footage recorded during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. * “It’s hard to overstate the potential security risks if this material were to be used irresponsibly,” said Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., former chair of the now-defunct House select committee to investigate the Jan. 6 riot, in a statement issued late Monday. * “Access was limited to members and a small handful of investigators and senior staff, and the public use of any footage was coordinated in advance with Capitol Police,” he continued." -- You know.. his shows exactly what we knew.. that Democrats were not then, nor now, wanting the unvarnished truth be available to American citizens...

From the "truth is a double-edged sword" department - Online headline/story: "Seattle becomes first U.S. city to ban caste discrimination * The Seattle City Council on Tuesday added caste to the city’s anti-discrimination laws, becoming the first U.S. city to specifically ban caste discrimination." -- Hmmm.. by "banning it", the Seattle Council just admitted.. just confirmed... that a caste system DOES EXIST in Seattle, and that Seattle has bigger problems than legislation will fix...

USA Today headline/story: "Three days. 10 mass shootings. More than 50 victims. U.S. sees worst weekend of 2023. * Nine children were shot at Georgia gas station." -- Hmmm... looks like Columbus GA's issues are going NATIONAL! Guess Columbus GA's Council will have to take their blindfolds off...
