POP TEST! Did you remember yesterday? Remember the words of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow' iconic poem..
 
 "Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five:
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.”
 
Bet your kids/grandkids don’t… Current school curriculums pretty much avoid highlighting the acts of patriotism that bought us our freedom..
 
 
---
Online headline: “Biden takes heat over gaffe urging Americans to 'choose freedom over democracy:' 'Get this man out of office!'” – Actually.. America NEEDS a man like this in office … unfortunately, we didn’t.. or don’t … need Biden… any Democrat for that matter .
 
 
---
Online headline: “Democrats in sanctuary cities sour on illegal immigrants as border crisis swells” --  Well, well, well .. maybe the sleepy Democrat voter base really is becoming "woke"... as in about to "being woke up" after realizing electing/re-electing  Democrats, they are perpetuating the past into their future....Hmmm...nah... that would be too easy..
 
 
---
Online headline: “Utah mom fights for her daughter’s access to discontinued diabetes medication: ‘Life-saving'” -- Hmmm... Insulin…  Isn't this the drug Biden .. and GA SINator Warnock, so often BRAG about reducing the retail cost level to $35.00? Guess the manufacturer can't even cover its expenses at what it can charge for wholesale.
 
 
---
Online headline: “Israel strikes site in Iran in retaliation for weekend assault” -- Wow! Not that Israel has struck back at Iran, but that Israel notified Biden in advance! Good grief! Notifying Biden probably put the Israeli attack force at higher risk since there was the distinct possibility that Iran would know in advance when.. and where.. strikes would come.. Even worse, Iran might have known in advance where launches would be made..
 
 
---
 
Instant repeat - Online headline: “Israel strikes site in Iran in retaliation for weekend assault:” --  Hmmm... Netanyahu became George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush for appeasing the US  Democrats of his actions against terrorists! 
 
 
 
---
Online headline: “Biden set to block millions of acres in Alaska from oil, gas drilling in Earth Day action” -- Now we know why Biden hasn't ordered the Irani oil fields, refinery, pipelines, and tanker ports not being blown up..he's gotta get oil from somewhere since he won't let America be energy independent!
 
 
 
---
Online headline: “ HARRIS COUNTY: District 5 Commissioners Race, meet Brice Patterson” -- Hmmm...What message does it send when a Columbus GA Fire Department Battalion Chief drives home in a CFD vehicle to his home in another county where he also is running for a county government job that governs another county's Fire Department?
 
 
---
Online headline: “States botched more executions of Black prisoners. Experts think they know why” --  You know.. it's bad enough that a simple, straightforward death drug isn't administered orally or by simple injection, but to make race an issue is ridiculous. The emphasis should be on justice for victims and society being carried forth! 
 
 
---
Online headline: “ Some Georgia colleges may not require ACT/SAT test scores” -- Well, if college capability tests are not required, then  federal backed college loans should not be given!
 
 
---
Online headline: “A Georgia beach aims to disrupt Black students' spring bash after big crowds brought chaos in 2023” --  That's right, media .. make it a racial thing! The truth is that it's an accountability for actions thing... well a LACK of accountability for actions thing.
 
 
---
I was reminded of  an old Christmas song about Santa Claus... the writer declared,  "he's everywhere, he's everywhere!". I remember it because the tune popped into my head over the last week when reading about all the bodies  being found around Columbus, GA... "they're everywhere, they're everywhere!"
 
 
---
Online headline: “Harris, Muscogee elections officials prepare for concurrent elections for Georgia House District 139 race” --  The runoff for GA House District 139 seat is May 7th.. the first race saw no one get a majority,  and there was only a dozen vote difference between Carmine Rice and Sean Knox. I'm supporting Rice as she has communicated better with me than Knox has, and open communication is a BIG THING I look for in an elected officials.
 
 
---
Online headline: “Warnock to meet with Pope Francis on Saturday” --  Hmmm...SINator Warnock is going to meet POOP Francis....hmmm... bet it's not on HIS dollar!
 
 
---
Online headline/story: “Rural counties rely on prisons to provide firefighters who work for free * while these programs fill a vital service in many rural areas, they aren’t universally loved. They have been accused of both exploiting incarcerated people and taking jobs away from professional firefighters.” -- "exploiting incarcerated people"? Good grief!  What a crappy attitude by the writer! Prisoners get a chance to do something good to repay the communities for doing something bad that put them in prison!  And, they learn a vital skill that makes them employable when they leave prison!
 
 
---
Online headline: “ Columbus GA  Airport announces full reconstruction of runway in 2025” --  I'm curious.. exactly.. well, a close guess will actually suffice.. how many incoming commercial flights a YEAR actually require the need of the 7,000 foot runway?
 
 
---
Most appropriately, GA Governor Kemp has ordered the US and GA flags to be flown at half mast at the State Capitol and throughout Columbus, GA on Saturday to honor the passing of Medal of Honor recipient, Col. Ralph Picket. Amen! 
 
---
As appropriate as it is to fly out US & GA flags at half mast tomorrow to honor MOH recipient Col Ralph Puckett, it would also MORE THAN APPROPRIATE to fly both those flags in the upside down position (beginning Monday)   over the Fulton County DA's office and the Court House until Fani Willis is removed from office!

Stephen A. Smith... a Black as activist Podcaster was on Hannity last night.. and presented his take on the unjust court cases the Democrats are persecuting Trump with.. Smith was livid... he was succinct... he was spot on... but... he ain't going to get the change he wants.. Smith was spot on at how the Democrats purge of Trump is no different than Blacks have gotten from the Democrat empowered judicial system for many prior decades.. but Smith blew it when he said that he wanted Trump to lose based on people not liking his policies, not because the Democrats have run the hate-filled  persecution of him.. Well, Smith just cut his own legs out from under himself.. he sounds like he's gonna vote for Biden regardless.. so he won't have anyone to blame but himself for the change he wants  not happening if Biden wins.

Online headline: “An article for Joy Reid's official blog for MSNBC contends that the number of black people in MLB demonstrates the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)” --   How can MSNBC put such a racist on its payroll! She puts affirmative action and skin color above... WAY ABOVE character or competency.. You know, I guess we shouldn't  blame Joy Reid  as much as MSNBC.. obviously MSNBC hired Reid by skin color rather than character and competency... even so, MSNBC definitely owes an apology to an able Black TV journalist who didn't get hired for having better character and competency than Reid.

Online story: “President Joe Biden received the formal endorsement of more than a dozen members of the extended Kennedy family on Thursday, aiming to harness the legacy of a storied Democratic family while implicitly underscoring their near-universal rejection of a third-party challenge mounted by one of their own, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.” --  You know, I'd bet President John F. Kennedy would not vote for Biden..
