Online headline: "Feds intercept 1,300 barrels of meth precursor chemicals shipped from China to Mexico" --  Wow! That's nearly 700,000 pounds ... that's almost 350 TONS of  chemicals to make "meth" intercepted en route from CHINA to MEXICO. Hmmm.. just for knowledge sake,, a pound of "meth" on the street has a value of between $1,400 & $2,000 .. depending on purity and location... do the math...

Did you see video of a Venezuelan drug launched boat get blown out of the water in the Caribbean Sea yesterday? Hmmm South American drug runners may be a little harder to recruit in the future...

Online headline: "Colombia Claims Presence Of U.S. Forces Off Venezuelan Coast Is 'Disproportionate': 'Latin America Is a Land Of Peace" -- Whoa! Guess Colombia got the message. too,  after a drug running boat was "evaporated" earlier this week off the coast of Venezuela.. Please note, Colombia has coastal/boat access to both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean without having to use the Panama Canal. Hey.. Colombia.. you're being watched, too!

WTVM-TV9 online headline: "Manufacturing facility to be built in Columbus bringing 500+ jobs" -- Some good news for a change... JS Link is coming to Columbus, GA with a "rare earth metals" business of making "permanent magnets" used in EVs, computers, and cell phones.. creating 500 new high tech jobs for our community. Congratulations to ":Choose Columbus" for connecting us! Now.. why do we have a new recruiting company outshining the Greater Columbus GA Chamber of Commerce? In fact, why do we even HAVE the "Greater Columbus Chamber"? Why not just "The Columbus GA Chamber of Commerce"? Then again, why do we have TWO different  "recruiting" offices operating out of the same building?

Online "headLIE": "Zohran Mamdani fans have no clue of the horror ‘socialists in a hurry’ unleash" -- WRONG! Mamdani's organization knows EXACTLY what he stands for, and that he only needs enough votes to have more than any of the other candidates on the ballot... In fact, NYC has literally screwed itself.. With 4 recognizable names in the contest, a candidate can literally win with less than 30% of the vote...NYC has no runoff election when no candidate get 50% + 1 vote. So... the next time you hear a DemoKrat scream about "SAVING DEMOCRACY", remind them that it's not a Democracy, especially at state and local elections, if someone... ANYONE... can get elected without a MAJORITY of votes cast.

Congratulations to Clark Browne of Birmingham, AL and Addison Peeples of Gainesville, GA for winning their divisions in the 1st Annual Russell Henley Junior Championship held this past weekend at Green Island Country Club here in Columbus, GA. This is a select tournament in the AJGA series and was locally sponsored by Synovus (soon to be Pinnacle). NOTE: Green Island Country Club was the host club for a PGA tournament for many years.

Online headline: "House GOP demands answers on billions in Medicaid costs for illegal immigrants" -- We know this is a bloviated publicity campaign, but the GOP could make it effective if... IF it commandeers all elected DemoKrat Congresspersons, Senators, and Presidents CAMPAIGN accounts and get retribution for the money they voted on to give to illegal aliens!

---
I saw an interesting “meme” this week: “The DemoKrats have failed America”… It’s true in every sense of the hope that our Founding Fathers ever dreamed of…without the Republicans ending slavery in the 1860s, and voting in the “1964-65 Civil Rights Bills” who knows whether all Americans would have the same rights as today… If you need a reminder, look at how incensed DemoKrats are at the deportation of illegal aliens.. The main concern of DemoKrats has been they are losing their low-paid domestic help!

Online headline: "51,000 German Auto Jobs Slashed As Tariffs Crush The Industry" -- Hmmm... so  Trump is getting blamed for German job loses in their car industry.... well, how about cheering for him for bringing new automotive jobs here in America!

Online headline: "More than 1,000 HHS workers demand RFK Jr. resigns" --  Hmmm...wanna bet how many were hired/appointed during the Biden administration?

I'd seen some preliminary work being done on the old ABANDONED GA Power Building on the 1100 block of Veterans Parkway, but hadn't known whether it was just being "prettied up" in hopes to get it sold, but know I've found out that August  A YEAR AGO, Columbus GA Mayor Skippy the POO sent $3.500,000.00 worth of our tax dollars to Ga Power to buy it! Apparently, our Fire Department across from the Springer Theater and Government Center is going to be moved there.. Now, did anyone see a reduction on your Electric Bill anytime in the past year? Also, did any Real Estate agent benefit from the transaction? Transparency is a MUST!

Online "headLIE": "Democrats Rip Epstein Documents Release: 'Muddying Waters" -- "muddying the waters"? I don't think so... more like letting the "mud" settle so we can see what is IN the waters... You know, the  DemoKrats SAT on the Epstein files the whole 4 years Biden was in the White House... that should tell you who's hiding what....

There was a report last week that Bill Clinton was seen getting off a plane carrying what appeared to be a Defibrillator, and tongues started wagging about his heart health.. Now, what I’d like to see him carrying around is a “de-FIB-ulator” so he’ll tell the truth when he speaks..

What gives with the Columbus GA’s American Legion Post’s license being “suspended” and the building padlocked?

WRBL-TV3 online story: "The City of Columbus GA has filed a civil lawsuit against Norfolk Southern Railway, claiming ownership of land the railroad has occupied for decades. *  The suit, filed late last week in Muscogee County Superior Court, names Norfolk Southern and seven other railroad companies. The city alleges they are illegally operating on city-owned property." -- You know, a number of years ago, our City paid $1,000,000.00 a mile for abandoned railway track to build a 11 mile bicycle path out the Manchester Expressway..  Sure would be nice to have had a PRECEDENT to lean back on... Now, with that history, and Norfolk Southern KNOWING how much Mayor Skippy the POO has spent on buying the old Kirven/Synovus Building, and spent on rebranding Historic GOLDEN PARK, and buying the abandoned GA Power Co. building, no telling how much money it will cost us taxpayers to sue Norfolk Southern or pay them off! Oh,, let's not forget that ex-City Manager "I-see-a-nothing" Hugley was also involved in all those transactions...

It’s amazing how our local media is proud of it’s liberal standing… Take the WRBL-TV3 Columbus GA CBS Station website… while it doesn’t have a “community message board” it does offer an icon to open up TWITTER… it even uses the TWITTER “bird” icon… Hey… WRBL-TV3.. TWITTER no longer exists.. neither does the “bird” icon.. Now it’s “X”..

Online headline: "ICE director accuses CBS of trying to 'stop Secretary Noem from telling the truth" -- Wow! If you missed this, Google it... This was worse that the editing that CBS did on that KamaLALA Harris interview ahead of the last election! Oh.. And CBS has paid Trump dearly for doing that!
