I love to see numbers of homicides in Columbus, GA decline, but… but are we getting the whole truth? In 2024, a Columbus Police Department report in November said there had been a decline to 33, yet after AT LEAST 4 more homicides in December, the January recap for 2024 totals was still given as 33 vs a “shoulda been” 37… While either number was a decrease from 2023, but that is not the whole story…. Using the 2 numbers to calculate the “homicides per 100,000 population”, Columbus, GA had a number of 16.5 or 18.5 per 100,000. Now the REAL Disturbing fact.. in a list (URL below) of “most homicides per 100,000 population” US cities, the range shown for the Worst 20 Cities is from 52.9 to 15.9 per 100,000 yet for “some reason” Columbus GA is not included even though our “16.5” number would bring us in as Number 19 on “the list”, and using the “18.5” number would bring us “up” to Number 16 on “the list”.. As hard as it is locally to get up-to-date numbers we can trust, these numbers must not get into all the national databases… 

 https://wirepoints.org/2024-homicide-rankings-chicago-st-louis-lead-nation-yet-again-a-wirepoints-survey-of-americas-75-largest-cities/ --- Online "headLIE": "WNBA world shocked after team trades Clark" -- Whatta deceptive headline! The story was about some “Alysha Clark” of Seattle, and I only read it because I thought it was about Caitlin Clark!

Online headline: "Here’s what comes next in the Texas redistricting battle" -- Hmmm..here's an idea ...maybe TEXAS should keep the Redistricting Bill the first item on its docket, and not officially adjourn the House until after qualifying for Congress in 2026 ends, and then kick hiding-out-of-state DemoKrat incumbents off the ballots as not residing in the state long enough to qualify.

Last night was “National Night Out” in which our neighborhood looks forward to annually to welcoming members of Columbus, GA’s Law Enforcement Departments, Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services.. Every year an entourage of vehicles from Police & Sheriff vehicles, Fire trucks and ambulances “swoop” into our neighborhood at the delight of our “kids” (both young and older), and one year even a S.W.A.T. vehicle and a helicopter visited… but this year..alas.. no fire trucks nor Emergency Medical vehicles came (though we did get our Councilor and his better half included..…. Even without the Fire & Medical trucks, we did enjoy shaking hands with.. and putting faces on… so many vital members of our community.. See ya next year!

Here’s something special for Columbus GA’s “First Responders” and their families! The law firm of Peak, Wooten, McDaniel, and Colwell is furnishing free admittance to this Thursday’s (Aug 7th) Clingstones’ baseball game.. Showing your badge at the gate will get you.. and up to 4 guests/family members.. in FREE! Of course, I think the greedy parking lot folks represent the City and Clingstones interest will still want their $5.00…

WTVM-TV9 online headline: " Child dropped off at wrong Columbus school on first day of pre-K, parents voice concerns" -- You know, as a parent, I would never... didn't ever.. put my pre-K child on a bus to school, but why is our school system even in "the business" of transporting unaccompanied pre-K students between homes & schools?

 Online headline/story: “Chinese nationals living in US charged with smuggling billions worth of Nvidia’s powerful AI chips to Beijing * Two Chinese nationals living in California, Chuan Geng, 28, of Pasadena, and Shiwei Yang, 28, of El Monte, were charged with violating the Export Control Reform Act, a felony that carries a maximum of 20 years in federal prison. * The pair allegedly shipped advanced graphic processing units, including Nvidia H100 GPUs and Nvidia 4090 GPUs, to China from October 2022 to July 2025 * Nonetheless, a bombshell report late last month revealed at least $1 billion worth of Nvidia chips were smuggled into China in the three months following Trump’s ban. * The smuggled chips were the “most powerful GPU chip on the market,” and “designed specifically for AI applications,” such as “to develop self-driving cars, medical diagnosis systems, and other AI-powered applications” – Whoa! First.. we have to ask if “the Big Guy” was getting “his 10%” when he was still in the Oval Office... secondly.. for a situation this size, way more than 2 people had to be involved.. and thirdly… why wasn’t Nvidia suspicious of what was happening with those chips being sold to a non-manufacturer? --- 

Online headline: "USA Fencing Minnesota division to only sanction mixed events in response to trans ban" -- Leave it to MN Governor DunZ to find another way to oppress women athletes! Now women in Minnesota will have to compete with men wearing pants as well as skirts! --- 

Online headline: "Woody Allen compared Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan home to 'Castle Dracula' in birthday letter" -- Hmmm... wonder what Mia Farrow called their home after it was discovered Woody was making moves on her adopted daughter? --- 

Online headline: "Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp's latest gamble: A blank-slate Senate candidate with big stakes" -- What IS Kemp thinking? He withdrew himself from a sure thing and is supporting an unproven candidate who bleeds UGA's most hated color... ORANGE.. not only is orange the color of Tennessee, but Auburn, Florida, and Clemson as well! ---

A DemoKrat Congressperson from Illinois, speaking in Mexico, said she was more proud of being a Guatemalan than being an American! Surely she should be censured from Congress, stripped of her American citizenship, and deported black to Guatemala. Sadly, she represents a gerrymandered DempKrat Congressional District that will never.. CAN NEVER.. replace a DemoKrat with a Republican. --- 

Online headline/story: "Elizabeth Warren Just Ended The Taxing Billionaires Argument With One Hilarious line * "Oh my goodness! Oh dear! Are you worried the billionaires are going to go hungry?" she quipped." -- Wow! Does any homeless individual NOT CONSIDER Pocahontas as one of the RICH? --- 

Online headline: "Hunter Biden blamed Democrats for not remaining 'loyal' to his dad, Joe Biden, during the 2024 election against Donald Trump" -- Oh...and was Hunter EVER loyal to his Dad, or his dead brother's memory? What a sick puppy! ---

For the past 5 years, neither Senator 🚽 Ossoff or SINator Warnock, both DemoKats, has voted the BEST interest of Georgians, yet now are campaigning for re-election like they are Conservatives ..hmmm .. and what do DemoKrats do best .. yep.. they LIE! --- Online “headLIE”: “Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan switches from Republican to Democrat” – Good grief… Duncan was a DemoKrat even when he claimed to be a Republican! --- 

Online headline: "Do Democrats understand what government is for? -- Hmmm... I think the REAL question is whether DemoKrat VOTERS "understand what government should be for". --- 

Online headline: "Op-Ed: Cory Booker Talks Like A Fighter—But Votes Like A Friend" -- Hmmm..."Talks like a fighter..votes like a friend"? Hmmm ...more like he talks and votes like a FRAUD! --- 

Online headline: "CBS staffers speculate on Gayle King's future as network bosses push 'editorial shift' on struggling AM show" -- Good grief ... We hear tales about how these liberal "journalists" are paid humongous salaries (Maddow was getting $30M, Cooper $18M, Colbert $20M, King $15M, et al) for contributing nothing to the future growth of their networks or America, so no wonder liberals feel they don't have to do real work to take care of themselves!
