Excuse me....Don't know what my typing finger was thinking yesterday, but Jamie Dimon is Chair/CEO of JPMorgan, not Goldman-Sachs

Online headline/story: "Maine legislature censures Rep. Laurel Libby for pointing out trans athlete who won girls' competition * Libby will not be able to speak or vote on the floor until she apologizes" --  GOOD GRIEF! If the US House censured Representatives for not apologizing for what they say truthfully, then only lying Representatives would ever get to vote because it's much easier to give a hollow apology for an untruth than to back down from the truth.

Online headline: "Florida Rep. Byron Donalds announces plans to run for governor" --  I've liked Byron Donald's for 3 years so far, and have gotten more impressed each year he's served... Florida, Republicans, Black Voters, and America should watch him grow!

Online headline: "Columbus GA Council explores Indian heritage, future of sports facilities" -- You know, Columbus GA used to have a really neat "Indian Cultural Festival" held on the campus of Columbus State University... until... until  Columbus Mayor and Council destroyed it in1996.. Remember the 1996 Olympics? Well, the City was so intent to overload hoped for visitors that it coerced the Board of the Festival (primarily School, University and Museum employees plus myself and the late Steve Woodruff) to move the traditional October Festival date up to August to correspond with the Olympic softball. Steve and I objected furiously to no avail.. The Cultural Festival was an outside daytime event with tents to shade vendors and participants, but no temperature contolled facilities. The Festival events were focused around ceremonies, dancing, authentic food options, and other rituals with Native Americans wearing traditional wardrobes that included animal pelts, woven woolen fabrics and animal/bead focused headwear.. all of which were heavy and rather warm. This was a huge factor in scheduling the event in October, but the City wanted it to be held in conjunction with the Softball event in August... you know August.. when 99 degrees is considered a cold snap. The 100+ degree temperatures made it to uncomfortable for daytime visitors to attend and inhumane for people to dress in their ritual wardrobes and perform physically in that heat. Needless to say, the Festival was a catastrophe... and the financial holdings of the Foundation were drained and the Festival was discontinued.. There was an attempt for another such Festival to be started in Harris County, but I don't think it lasted too long.. Now, if Columbus GA Council is going to consider another attempt at such a Cultural Festival, STAY OUT OF THE WAY!

Online headline: "GA Secretary of State wants to change runoffs, but lawmakers say ranked choice isn’t the answer" --  Ranked Choice actually hurts the EDUCATED and Independent Voters!... If there are really 2 realistic choices, but several other 3rd Party or Independent candidates, and no one gets the 50%+1 vote, the leading vote getter has little chance of winning the "ranked choice elimination format" because the major Parties "loyals" will vote for their candidate, but either not vote for the other Party's candidate at all, or vote for it way down the list so that candidate starts losing votes on the first "Ranked Choice" recount.

Online headline: "Auburn basketball assistant coach responds to discussions about team’s age" -- Wow! Auburn has 10 Seniors on its team this year.. How wonderfully novel .. players actually finishing college before moving on to a career...

Here's something Democrat voters should think about .. there's basically only one reason any government official/employee would want to assist in covering up the misuse of tax funds... said official/employee doesn't want to be found personally benefiting from it... Remember who wanted to "discover and recover" versus "detain and restrain" the truth when you step into your voting booth.

Why are the Democrats attacking Trump on the 2017 Tax Policy he started? Neither Biden nor the Democrat majority House or Senate tried to change it back, and without the increases in tax revenues Trump's tax policies brought in during the Biden 4-years, the inflation rate and economic impact would have been way worse than they were.

Bought two books of "Forever" stamps this week, and they cost me $29.20. That's 73 cents per stamp. I looked at the postal agent and said, I can remember when a whole book of 20 stamps costs less than a single stamp today...
