Please join me in prayer… Sadly we have lost GA State Representative Richard Smith of Columbus. He passed peacefully on his sleep. Hopefully his working towards getting our local elections and referendums moved from the late Spring primaries to the November General Election date will spur the Republican Party .. and our Columbus GA Council.. to continue his quest. We deserve more local interest from our voters on local issues, too.

Online headline: “Pelosi faces backlash for demanding swarming protesters 'go back to China': 'Slanderous accusations'” -- Good grief! Of all the adjectives I've used over the years that fit Queen PeLOUSY, none have been aimed at bigotry.... until NOW!

Online “headLIE”: “Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee criticized for saying impeachment is not meant to be used for revenge” -- Wow! Is this one of those April Fools Day prank headlines? It seems that the Democrats have weaponized all aspects of government law enforcement agencies against conservatives. ... Not just Congress, but the FBI, DOJ, and the IRS as well.. Hey, Sheila Jackson Lee... did you speak out against using impeachment for revenge when you voted... TWICE.. to impeach President Trump?

---
Online headline: ‘Ron DeSantis calls for Ilhan Omar’s deportation, expulsion from Congress for ‘Somalia First’ comments” -- Wow! Ilhan Omar should be charged .. and tried... for TREASON for putting another country's interests ahead of America's!

Online headline: “Harvard chief DEI officer accused of 40 counts of plagiarism, including lifting from her own husband” -- Hmmm... You know, since copying/using other people's work for their own benefit seems to be prevalent at Harvard, maybe we should check any Harvard Diplomas hanging on Obama’s wall to see if it’s an original or a Xerox copy.

Online headline: “Biden to travel to East Palestine nearly one year after train derailment disaster” -- Wow! As bad as things appear to us about Biden's "approval numbers", they are obviously worse than we thought.. Yesterday, he talked to the families of 3 US soldiers killed in a drone strike in Jordan, and now he's adding a trip to East Palestine, Ohio.. hmmm... I wonder if Resident Biden feels East Palestine is actually a suburb in the Gaza Strip?

“I'm still looking for the explanation of how a drone got through to it's target and killed 3 American soldiers in Jordan.. The first "report" said "they" thought it was one of ours that was due back at the same time. This statement really bothered me... Now what I want to know is what happened to THAT drone.. and where is it now! I just wonder whether some Irani technician could have "hacked" one of our drones then sent it back to an American target.

I thought it interesting to read that UPS is laying off 12,000 employees.. interesting...but not surprising.. I took a less-than-2-pound box to UPS back in early December to a UPS Store, and was quoted a basic land delivery charge of over $33.00... I muttered to the "agent".. "you gotta be kidding", and she just glared at me. I then told her to return my package and I took it to the Post Office, got 3-day delivery, and for $13.00. I don't plan to be using UPS anymore.

Hey, Columbus GA Council.. any of y'all driven across the southbound side of the rail crossing near the 1600 block of 5th Avenue recently? It's atrocious!

---
Online headline: “Columbus GA mayor calls on MCSO to investigate city’s finance dept.” – Hmmm… Well, I'd like to know how a budget could have been put together and approved without all revenue documented and being accounted for. Oh...and shouldn't the GBI be more neutral than having a social buddy in charge of an investigation?

Online headline/story: “For the first time in 15 years, Columbus High School has a new head football coach * CHS is a total magnet school, meaning it doesn’t have an attendance zone and all of its students (1,131 as of October) can reside anywhere in Muscogee County “ -- Hmmm.... if students can reside anywhere in Muscogee County, how have students from Alabama, and other surrounding counties in Georgia gotten admitted?

---
Online headline: “ Georgia prosecutor on Trump election case won’t be asked about alleged affair in divorce case after agreement reached” -- How can the GA Bar Association and/or Fulton County Government ALLOW this to happen! For that matter, how can the judge in the divorce or the Trump persecution allow this? It's no longer just a divorce proceeding.. it's a cover up of justice!

From the "couldn't happens to a VICER gal" department - Online headline/story: “Failed Georgia Gubernatorial Candidate Stacey Abrams’ Nonprofit Implodes * Fair Fight raised more than $100 million during its first three years of operations, according to AJC. Fair Fight Action, Fair Fight’s political arm, even aired an advertisement during the 2019 Super Bowl promoting Abrams. * Fair Fight Action had more than $21 million in net assets at the end of 2020, according to tax filings. That figure dropped to about $3.4 million in 2021 and again to just over $1.5 million in 2022, tax documents show. * Fair Fight, a group Abrams founded to combat alleged voter suppression in Georgia, will be laying off 75% of its staff and significantly narrowing its scope of operations, the AJC reported. The organization holds $2.5 million in debt but only has $1.9 million in cash, according to the AJC.” – Hmmm… obviously.. Stacey Abrams and her friends got theirs! Hmmm.. wonder how the laid off staff will vote if Abrams runs for anything again?

Proof!     PROOF… that all is not… and can’t be… "above board" in GA"s lottery. There's a game called "333" which guarantees for 33 days, 333 people will win $333.00. Think about that... there can only be 333 winning tickets daily.. . and all 333 must be sold daily.... for 33 days! The only way that can happen would be to have some sorta  fix in..

In spite of being able to end the border chaos without going through the Senate or House, Resident Biden is blaming House Republicans for not passing the Senate bill that has horrible border "solutions". What the House Republicans should do is pass (with no Israel or Ukraine aid or other “pork” amendments in it) a real border solution bill and send it to the Senate to confirm and pass on to Biden.

Online headline: “Hunter Biden again moves to dismiss Delaware gun indictment charges” – Good grief.. not only is the current case in California, these are FEDERAL charges!

Online headline/story: “Hispanic group hits Newsom for hiring too many White people: 'Ensure... all Californians have representation' * Hispanics make up 40% of California's population, census data shows * The report showed 17% of appointments went to Latinos, 11% to Blacks, 8.5% to Asian American and Pacific Islanders, 2% to Native Americans and 8% of appointments' racial background was unknown. “ – Seems the Hispanic complaint is also biased… The Black population of California is only 6.5% yet has 17% of appointments, and the Asian population which is 16.3% only has 8.5% Like Mel Brooks might say of Newsom, “It’s good to be a White Jim KKKrow Governor in California”.

Representative Cori Bush, D-St Louis, MO, is under investigation for paying her husband $60,000.00 a year for "Security Services". You know, that's pure BS! I (and most husbands I know) don't need a salary to protect my bride! In fact, isn't Bush being a b____ by having him endanger himself as a paid security guard... I mean, what wife treats her husband as a disposable commodity! If she needs security, so does he!

Something smells in Washington! Well, something ALWAYS smells in Washington, but this smells to higher heaven than usual... I'm talking about all of sudden, Resident Biden is scurrying around to chat with the families of three soldiers killed in Jordan, and has plans to "be there" when the bodies are flown back to the US... Either... there's a mutiny in the works to oust him from the November ticket or a move to remove him now.... maybe even both. Now, if Jill were as smart as she thinks she is, she should "go with the flow"..It would probably help his legacy in history.. He's already given Cuzzin Jimmy reprieve  from being the worst all-time president, but Kamala "Chuckles" Harris could wrestle that title away from JoKKKe Biden by time the Democrat Convention gets to Shicago in August.

I watched Cathy Williams, District 2 Representative to the GA Department of Transportation give a video report on the two new "Double Diamond interchanges at Bradley Park Drive and Cusseta Roads here in Columbus, GA . She sounded like she was talking to 5-year olds, and did not deliver what the video promised. Guess she went to the same public speech giving courses that VP Kamala Harris attended.

---
Why is the Democrat conversation geared around whether or not Resident Biden should head the Democrat ticket in 2024? I remember when he was campaigning in 2019 that he was going to only serve one term, then turn it over to the next generation . Hmmm.. guess the White House "handlers" realize now that Chuckles Harris is the best of the next generation of Democrats, and JoKKKe Biden is less disapproval than Chuckles Harris.

I know it's "legal" for politicians to donate from their campaign accounts to other politicians, but I want to know WHY it's legal! As it stands now, I can donate my maximum allowable amount to a candidate in a close race, then turn around and max out to a candidate in an uncontested race who can then turn around and donate that money to the candidate in the close race... In effect, I'm now able to donate twice as much to a candidate as I'm legally able to do by law.
