Online headline: ‘Jim Boeheim says he doesn't like NIL 'at all,' but 'this is what the world is'” -- As right as Boeheim is ... "this is what the world is".... he's also part of the problem rather than the solution... College coaches should have bravely fought the NCAA "tooth and nail" to keep the game purer!

---
Online headline: “DOJ threatens to sue Texas over anti-illegal immigration law; Abbott prepared for Supreme Court fight” -- Let's PRAY it gets to the US Supreme Court FAST! The bottom line will be that the US Supreme Court will order the President to keep his oath he swore when he took office and ORDER the DOJ and/or Military to protect our border from INVASIONS!

---
Online headline: “Raffensperger renews call to end general election runoffs “ -- What NEEDS to be "renewed" is the movement to IMPEACH RAFFENSPERGER… and with a “plurality” rather than the required 2/3rds vote!

---
Online headline: “ Georgia prison corruption | From the inside: Criminal kingpins” -- Hmmm... After a local Public Defender was arrested with "meth" possession at a shooting site, it looks like the TSA should send agents to "frisk" and "scan" every prison employee and every visitor.. INCLUDING LAWYERS... every time they enter ..and leave .. a prison.

---
Online headline: “With the latest shooting victim succumbing, Columbus GA records 55th homicide in 2023” -- Hmmm, looks like 2023 will come in second place to 2021 for MOST HOMICIDES EVER in Columbus, GA...and there are still 2 more nights to break the record….plus a slew of "vehicular homicides"!

---
With the number of shootings in the St Mary's Road area, you'd think our City Manager, who lives in that area, would be pushing harder to get the 100 more police officers as promised by Columbus GA Councilors 15 years ago hired and working.

---
Online headline: “ Sylvester GA residents upset over downtown mural being painted over” -- Hmmm... Then Sylvester residents are lucky they don't live in Columbus, GA where murals (commissioned vandalism) are ...as described in a Ray Stevens song about Santa, "He's/They's everywhere"...

Here's one in Columbus GA that no one can think.. much less 'feel'... is attractive.

Online “headLIE”: “Georgia native Bob the Drag Queen knew the spotlight was made for her” -- Good grief! How demeaning to real women! "Drag" is the modern day equivalence of "Black Face Burlesque Shows" in the past.

---
Online “headLIE”: “ New Georgia bill would give rent control authority to cities, counties” -- Hmmm....rent control policies also mean that there can be "rental rates collusion" and slower maintenance responses at rental facilities. It also means new private sector apartment buildings would less likely be built…

Online story: “The Mississippi Braves have played at Trustman Park in Pearl, Mississippi since 2005 but could be on the move after the 2024 season. According to the Columbus Ledger-Inquirer and the Clarion Ledger, the Braves’ AA team is among the candidates to move to Columbus, Georgia. * Diamond Holdings and the city are currently in negotiations to bring a team to the area.” -- See? There's that "switcheroo phrase" politicians use to get the public behind a "deal" that probably won't happen ....AGAIN! You know, the Mississippi Braves "COULD MOVE" to Columbus, GA. What's really going on is the MS Braves' owners are just negotiating a better deal in their existing facility.

Now, looking at the Columbus, GA facility.... probably $10-$15 Million.. maybe more.. would have to be spent on "Band-Aids" for "Historic Golden Park" to get it to minimum MiLB standards, and getting that done before the 2025 season would be sketchy, but the reality is that Golden Park ..and its history....would need to be demolished, and a new stadium be built... and that won't happen before the 2025 season begins... even if Columbus GA Council starts TODAY...there are only 16 months to the 2025 season.

Oh! Diamond Holdings owns 28 minor league teams. However, the teams mentioned in the story that could move to Georgia are the Mississippi Braves from Pearl; the Rome, Georgia Braves; the Midland, Texas Rockhounds; the San Jose, California Giants; and the Wichita, Kansas, Wind Surge., so the “switcheroo” is definitely a probability… especially for a Single “A” level team…

---
Online headline: “ Rep. Lucy McBath to switch districts due to Georgia redistricting” – “switch districts… but not necessarily her residence… Hmmm... what McBath and the GA Democratic Party want to do is decide District lines based on politics and/or Race... and that... my friends.. is the definition of gerrymandering!

---
Online “headLIE”: “CNN Poll: Nearly half of Georgia voters think Trump shouldn’t be president if Fulton County charges are true” – Hmmm… Typical Liberal Media "wordsmanship"! In plain English, LESS THAN HALF feel this way! In other words, Trump will win the votes of MORE THAN HALF of Georgians' voters...

---
Online headline: “Three vehicles crashed in Columbus. Days later, a woman died. Now police seek witnesses” -- Surely someone called 911 on a cellphone and reported the wreck…, and a cell tower "ping" was recorded..... hmmm... or have I watched too many detective shows?

---
Online headline: “Texas has arrested thousands at the US-Mexico border as state expands powers to arrest migrants” -- You know, it's obviously part of the Socialist-Democrat agenda for BLUE City Mayors to blame their illegal aliens ills on Texas Gov Abbott, but Abbott is not their problem. Phase 1 of the problem belongs to Biden... Phase 2 is the BLUE Cities' policy of supporting Sanctuary City status. Think about it...if you were an illegal alien, and entered a border portal in Texas, would you want to stay there where Texas law enforcement has been empowered to arrest you and send you back, or would you want free transportation to a Sanctuary City that's going to put you up in a hotel and give you food, money, and medical treatment?

---
Online headline: “Ex-ESPN star Sage Steele says she was asked to stop tweeting about Lia Thomas, reveals person who has her back” -- Hmmm...ESPN is "mum" about commenting on charges that it shut down a female commentator for her supportive comments about Riley Gaines' campaign against transgender "women" like Lia Thomas competing against REAL women. Who's surprised at ESPN's 'darkness'? It's part of Disney/ABC's conglomeration, and we already know how much money they've lost this past year pushing "messagy & WOKE" films and agenda.

---
Online headline: “Second American held hostage by Hamas confirmed dead in Gaza“ -- You know… the reality is that all the current American hostages are probably dead by now which is why HamASS hasn’t released them

---
Online headline: “NBC News: Nikki Haley makes no mention of slavery when asked to name cause of Civil War” – you know.. If I was asked about the Civil War slavery issue, I think I'd say there are more people today enslaved to Democrat programs whose primary purpose is to keep people under the thumb of their "master" than any other time in US History.

---
Hmmmm… Chris Chrispie says Trump is dividing the party... Well, if 70+ % of Republican voters prefer Trump, it sounds more like Chris Chrispie is the one trying to divide the voters.

---
Looks like my earlier prediction of Michele Obama being "drafted" at the DNC Convention will probably come true... notice how furtive her husband has been through the current party unrest... And it has to be this way.. if she gets into the Primaries, his record and failures get brought up by Democrats running against her, and MSM can't really avoid them like they will when brought up by a Republican candidate.

In advance… HAPPY NEW YEAR! While I’m planning on a Tuesday return to the Breakfast Club.. I might send one out on Monday… doesn’t seem there are many Bowl games that I will be enthused about watching…
