Can you believe this? The NFL fined a 49er player for a TD celebration which the NFL says was him imitating chugging a beer... Excuse me, but the NFL has an "Official Beer of the NFL".. and it's "Dud Light"! Don't you think Budweiser now wishes it put the NFL player's picture on the cans they actually put Dylan Mulvaney on?

WRBL-TV3 online headline: “Columbus GA Council considering new Trade Center parking adjacent to downtown Marriott” --  And what kind of "financial participation" is the “most to benefit”  hotel owner doing?

Online story: “Six prominent Columbus leaders have joined nearly 70 current and former elected officials, faith leaders and community leaders from across Georgia in signing a letter supporting the proposed constitutional amendment that would require all probate judges in Georgia to be elected in nonpartisan elections.” – You know, the only reason to “hide” a judicial candidates political policies is to .. well… HIDE the basis for judicial reasoning so most voters won’t really know what decisions will be made down the road! What we need to know is whether judicial candidates respect the 10 Commandments and victims.. and their families… rights! Electing judges blindly from their political beliefs is not good!

Online headline/story: “Fort Benning residents push back on rent increase * Some residents say the price hike isn't justified." ..."they are KNOWINGLY living in substandard housing" BECAUSE "families receive money back if their full allowance each month isn't used." -- Her primary complaint should be with Congressman Bishop and Sen Jon Osh*t for not doing their jobs at taking care of our military assets, but she needs to own up to HER PERSONAL greed being the a key to her problem.. She took a lesser quality abode BECAUSE.. she gets a "housing allowance courtesy of the taxpayers, and if she rents something cheaper, she gets the difference back in cash for her own use.. she could have rented a better kept unit but chose to spend less to get more money back.

Online headline/story: “Less than 40% of EV school buses purchased with Biden-era EPA grants have been delivered: ‘Taxpayer dollars vanished * “Instead of following Congress’ directives to effectively provide safe and reliable transportation for American school kids, the Biden-Harris administration rushed money out the door without enough thought or oversight,”  *  “This carelessness resulted in 90% of the money going to ‘buy’ electric school buses; yet over 5 years later, there are very few tangible buses to show for it,” Lee Zeldin continued. “In essence, American taxpayer dollars vanished into thin air, and our children were left without school buses.” – I think our Columbus GA School System (and our City Bus Line) bought some of these.. maybe we need an update on all the EV buses we own.. especially considering the expected lifespan of the batteries.. replacement car batteries are said to be in the $8,000 - $22,000 range… hard to imagine what a bus’ will cost..

Online headline: “Columbus leaders approve 48 crime prevention grants; groups detail impact” --  

Wait a minute! While Columbus, GA & Phenix City, AL are "sister cities' I don't believe any Phenix City property owners send their property tax check to the Columbus Consolidated Government!  None of Columbus' revenue should be sent to a Phenix City organization!
