Online headline: “JenChan’s Pizza and Chinese in Atlanta Georgia was slammed on social media after a customer called out the restaurant’s surprise 4% fee for health insurance. “ -- Good grief! I write off restaurants that add a "card fee" and then suggest "tipping" on the total of the food&beverages plus the card fee and the sales taxes!

• Online headline: “I found this on NewsBreak: Obama believes there’d be ‘incalculable damage’ if Trump wins, Holder says” -- Hmmm...the only "incalculable damage" would be to the Socialist-Democrats' agenda to overthrow our Constitution!

Online story: “The Ohio House voted Wednesday to overturn Republican Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto of a bill that bans gender-affirming health care for transgender minors and prevent s transgender women and girls from competing on female school sports teams. * The lower chamber voted 65-28 to overturn DeWine’s veto of House Bill 68, along party lines.” -- Hmmm.. I do believe DeWine’s career is over.. Rumor has it his name on any future ballots will be “DeWINO”.. because he was “drunk” with a false sense of power…

Online story: Embattled District Attorney Fani Willis has been subpoenaed to testify in the divorce case of the special prosecutor handling the Trump election interference case, who she stands accused of having an “improper relationship” with. * Furthermore, it has emerged the attorney, Nathan Wade, wasn’t even approved by the relevant board before being hired by the Willis who presides over Fulton County in Georgia.
Wow! And she paid him over $674,000.00 over the last two years, and vacationed with him in resorts and cruises.. Seems like GA should be putting her on trial rather than Trump!

If you have any connection with Columbus, GA, you need to... no MUST… read this article written Tuesday when the announcement that the Mississippi Braves were moving to Columbus, GA:

 

https://magnoliatribune.com/2024/01/09/mississippi-braves-leave-hole-in-pearl/

One missing bit of info is that Diamond Baseball Holding purchased the Mississippi Braves in 2022, just two years before their current contract was about to expire.. This is important because when teams are sold , the new owners are going to be looking for even more “subsidies/concessions” from the current government and shopping other cities LOOKING for a better deal.

How could any Columbus GA Councilor vote to spend nearly $50 Million on Band-Aiding Golden Park to play "AA" Minor League baseball knowing former MLB star player for the Astros and Orioles, Councilor Glenn Davis, was ardently opposed to the idea? If that area ... the intersection of US 27 and US 280 was a viable address for hotels and restaurant development, it would already be a bustling enterprise area. If you read (if you haven’t, then do so now) the article above from the Mississippi Tribune, you’ll see the “stars in our eyes” expectations of a booming economic impact did not happen for Pearl, MS after the Braves team signed the 2005 contract.

A local Columbus, GA TV station aired a live interview with a well admired, long time .. now retired... official GOLDEN Park baseball scorekeeper.. she was excited that "AFFORDABLE" minor league Braves-connected baseball will be coming to Columbus, GA, and hopes the "grace and character" of the faculty will remain... Hmmm... I don't think she has had enough facts of the situation explained to her...last season, good seats at a Mississippi Braves game were $28.00 a pop, and keeping the "grace and character" of a crumbly 70+ year old stadium superstructure is not not... SHOULD NOT ... be the outcome after a nearly $50 Million dollar "redo".

What is Resident Biden thinking? Wait a minute... "thinking" may be too much of a stretch for Biden, so maybe we should ask, "What was he feeling?".. I'm talking about his response to Palestinian radical protesters demanding the US pressure Israel into a cease fire.. What he should be saying to them is, "C'mon, man! When the Palestinians run off HamASS and... AND return all the hostages.. and the American ones better be alive and healthy... and make financial amends to the Israelite families .. THEN we'll talk about a cease fire deal with Israel!"

Hmmm... so Nick Saban has retired... Who'd have believed he would retire on a loss his final game..

An interested Breakfast Club baseball fan mentioned that a new baseball stadium elsewhere in Columbus GA (versus Golden Park) should be a priority.. Well, in 1990, during the Columbus GA Mayoral election forum at Peachtree Mall, I brought this very subject up. I did a little research and figured that a new outdoor 4,500 seat baseball/music park could be built for about $7 Million and the perfect property (where AutoNation et al businesses exist) was available with an eager to sell option holder. It solved all the negatives that plagued Golden Park ... location, location, location....plus it would put Columbus in position to bid on satellite 1996 Olympic BASEBALL games. After this idea created a lot of excited interest from Columbus Council, it was decided that was "too much" to spend so they'd just spend the $1.8 Million already available on Band-Aid projects at Golden Park. Then, in 1993, Council voted to spend $7 Million destroying Golden Park by turning it into a softball facility for games Atlanta didn't even want. What a financial flop for Columbus' economy...

I'm beginning to feel renaming the new "AA" baseball team the "Columbus Cows" is picking up steam. Just think about the advertising campaigns... "A MOO-ving Family Experience".. "The UDDER-ly Family Venture".. "The COWS are coming HOME"..."Free Ice Cream Night" ... " Free bag of fertilizer night".. Oh! And grandstand vendors can wear Cow costumes and sell chicken sandwiches… well, except on Sundays…

What arrogance...Hunter Biden showing up at the public House Committee meeting discussing the Contempt of Congress charge for him NOT showing up for his subpoenaed House Committee session.

Online headline: “Officials in a small town in Tennessee voted against Chick-fil-A's proposal to build a newer and larger restaurant in the town after residents were concerned about traffic. “ – Hmmm… WOW! A City Council that intentionally turned down and opportunity for a private business who wants to pay more taxes, collect more taxes, and increase. That’s almost as bad as a City Council that believes a minor league baseball time will be the economic drive it’s local economy needs…

Online headline: “Vermont delivered on all fronts’: Residents and business owners reveal why people are flocking to the state” -- Wow! This maybe a sign that Socialist Senator "Bernie" may get unseated next time!
