Online headline: "Trump Administration Doubles US Citizenship Test Requirements, Making It Harder To Pass Amid Immigration Battle" --  Hmmmm ...Just twice as many questions, but still only knowing 60% of answers is required... Hmmm... you know, it probably would be a good test to require high school grads to pass before they are eligible to vote, drive, or be covered by government social programs.

Online story: “It’s wild to see how Bill Clinton’s past scandals, especially the Monica Lewinsky affair, still echo through American culture and politics decades later. Even as his presidency is praised for economic growth and key policy wins, those headline-grabbing controversies just won’t let go” -- Wait a minute! Clinton should not be given much..if any..credit for a booming economic period..... than credit should go to House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

Online headline: "This is no way to run a railroad, much less a river system" -- Hmmm.. we're talking about the triad of rivers.. the Chattahoochee, the Flint, and Apalachicola Rivers that merge into Lake Seminole before eventually emptying into the Gulf of America.. The locks and dam systems haven’t been maintained since the 90s.In other words, Representative Sanford Bullship, D-GA2, has been around for 33 years, and has, literally, not done a positive thing about this situation his entire career!

Online headline: "Harvard says it’s been giving away too many “A” grades to undergrad students" --  If 60% of grades are "A", then a "B".. actually, any grade less than “A”,  is basically failing! You know, to really be of value to graduates, the standards for A's should be higher than 90% of students can attain. Years ago, Stanford went to a grading system of "Pass/Fail"... after a couple of years, the STUDENTS demanded to go back on the old system, because if every graduate had the same "PASS" grade, superior students had nothing to show they were better applicants than any other Stanford grad ... or, for that matter, a Stanford diploma was no more impressive than a  mail-order one.

Online headline/story: “You’re Fired: Actvist loses job due to statements made at No Kings. *  Moises Bernal Puentes, an Adult Education Manager at Wilbur Wright College (part of the City Colleges of Chicago system), was recorded making inflammatory statements. In the video, Bernal urged protesters to “grab a gun” and “turn around the guns on this fascist system,” specifically calling for ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents to “get shot and wiped out,” along with other elements of the “state machinery.” --  Hey.... now he'll probably run for Mayor of Chicago ....and win....

WRBL-TV3 online headline: "Columbus mayor Skip Henderson visits South Korea with business and civic leaders" --  Hmmm ...about the only value Mayor Skippy could bring back to Columbus, GA would be in recruiting from our "new sister city",  Jinju's City Manager to come here.

Listening to videos of BERNIE & AOC at a Mamdani Rally ranting about being for the working class vs billionaires was disturbing. Hmmm... isn't it the successful working class becoming wealthier that's creating more jobs so more working class families can become successful a good thing?  Especially compared to government wanting just to make the working class equal in poverty versus being motivated to rise above it...

It's a plaintive ..even IGNORANT.. complaint the DemoKrats are yapping about... They feel everything would fall…  be in place… if House Speaker Johnson would just call "the House" back into session.. Hey, the HOUSE has already approved the Continuing Resolution, so until the DemoKrats in the Senate vote to pass to the CR bill, there's no reason.. or even new money… for House members even be in Washington.. literally!
