From the "It's another 'nothingburger', please move on" department - Good grief... Corey Booker, DIM NY Senator, in a fit of "style vs function" made known the hours and hours of "research" he'd spent in digging into Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh's work history, and waved 1 dozen e-mails he was going to release despite Senate agreements not to do so.. Emboldened by the camera, he said he's take his medicine, then declared,, (in a very weak Kirk Douglas imitation, "“this is the closest I’ll get to an ‘I am Spartacus’ moment.”" Of course, there wasn't anything to see in those .. other than to show Booker's and the DIMocrats' irrelevance, so....instead of "Spartacus",how about we restate Senator Booker's shout out as "I am Spare US Please".

You know, listening to the DIMocrats brag about how much time and effort they've given to trying to find dirt on Nominee Kavanaugh makes you wonder that if they devoted that kind of diligence and effort in making this country great, then Trump would never have HAD to run for the presidency.

 

---
We're beginning to see more clearly why the DIMocrats really don't accomplish much when they are in power of either or both chambers of Congress. By the looks..and sounds..of the protesters, it's obvious UpChuck Schumer doesn't know how to organize or present a dissenting view in a manner that encourages discussion or compromise to both sides.

 

---
After listening to Senator Leahy's concerns about whether Kavanaugh received "stolen/hacked" files of his. Senator Leahy should more concerned about what he wrote thinking nobody would see them.

 

---
It's quite ironic that certain judiciary committee members have a name plate in front of the proclaiming "Ranking Member"..After listening to some of their inane comments and questions, it would seem more accurate those name plates be altered to "Rank Member"

 

---
Liberals are so comfortable with just deciding to change their gender, and occasionally their race, by declaration...but what have they accomplished..gained? In reality, nothing... Of course, they could make another declaration that would help them...just declare themselves conservatives/Republicans when they go to the ballot boxes.

 

---
You know, it seems counterproductive for obviously unqualified people parsing the constitution to question the obviously well qualified SCOTUS nominee.

 

---
It would take an amendment to alter completely the process of "Advise and Consent" by the Senate in relation to accepting a Presidential Supreme Court nominee, but it seems a new step could be added that make the process better.. before a nominee is submitted to committee review, let there be a session by the sitting Supreme Court judges to either express their individual non-binding opinion about the qualification and worthiness of the potential new Justice. The Senators and the country would benefit.

Online headline: "Kavanaugh hearings, Times op-ed, Woodward book make it official -- Washington elites have gone mad" -- My one word confirmation....AMEN!

Hmmm..you know if Nike wanted to demonstrate 'sacrifice' , it should make Pat Tillman's face and patriotism as it's image.. and if Nike wanted to EXEMPLIFY sacrifice, it should have put Jesus there.

M/C L-E "headLIE": "Columbus molester in sex slave case gets harshest sentence" * BY CHUCK WILLIAMS * chwilliams@ledger-enquirer.com" -- "harshest sentence".. I ask.. did UpChunky Williams ask the victim which she thought was most "harsh"... the sentence of the woman or what the woman did to her?

 

---
From the "sacrifice? what sacrifice?" department - Online headline: "Among Eagles and Falcons players, only Michael Bennett takes a seat during anthem" -- Guess there had to be one that didn't fully realize "he'd been had"...Guess the NFL Players' ASSociation leaders are kicking themselves right now.. having supported.. blindly, I might add, KaeperPRICK's "plight". This week, not only have they found out KaeperPRICK rejected a $7 MILLION Dollar contract with Denver, but he has wrangled a multi-ka-jillion dollar contract from Nike, and he doesn't even have to "sacrifice his body" on the field to collect it. Let The Boycott continue!!

 

-----------------------------------------------------------
From the "knee to Nike groin" department - It's said that 'one picture is worth a 1000 words".. here's one that speaks VOLUMES!

M/C L-E "headline/story: "Grant promotes STEM access * $3 million grant to help CSU prepare more minorities for STEM careers * The National Science Foundation has awarded Columbus State University a $3 million grant to lead a regional effort to prepare more underrepresented minority undergraduate students for careers in the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering and math." -- Good grief.. If I were a "minority", I would resent being held up as less deserving on my own merits! Wait a minute... I have over 400 known years of Latino ancestry in my DNA.."I AM A Minority", and would be offended if I was granted scholarship money.. on that basis alone... what if I booted another "minority" student off "the list"? What if I booted a more qualified "non-minority" student out of consideration.. When will liberals stop trying to fix things that aren't really broken... or in the best interests of those most deserving?

 

---
M/C L-E headline: "Mayor: Atlanta to stop holding federal detainees in its jail" -- Hmmm... since so much of the US Constitution is being parsed (whether correctly or not) by DIMocrats in the Senate Judiciary Committee vetting of Brett Kavanaugh, this is a good question to ask... has the DIMocrat agenda broken down so much that even a DIMocrat Mayor feels she can overrule the 9th and 10th Amendments since she disagrees with the federal government?

 

---
I tell you what, the quickest way to rid our government of DIMocrats in Congress might be to tape DIMocrat Senators and/or Representatives involved in questioning Trump employees and appointments. Put them under oath, and file perjury charges when they make lying innuendos/facts in the form of inquisition questions?

 

---
M/C L-E headline/story: "Data show big let-up in ACA premiums * Millions of people covered under the Affordable Care Act will see only modest premium increases next year, and some will get a price cut. That’s the conclusion from an exclusive analysis of the besieged but resilient program, which still sparks deep divisions heading into this year’s midterm elections." -- What I see is "damage control" by Obama appointees. What we see is due to the fact that no one else will be fined for not buying OObamaCRAP, and the free market environment making insurance more competitive... and competitive is not something any non-military US program is capable of.. it's not just healthcare, but welfare, the USPS, et al..

Did you see/hear about the anonymous 'editorial' the New York Times ran yesterday...how cowardly.. to print ....basically....CRAP and call it journalism...the slogan the NYT use to use..."all the news that's fit to print" has been defiled...now it should be "all.. ONLY.. the news that's s*** to print "

 

---
I listened to a Massachusetts DIMocrat running for the District Attorneys office about saving money by not making arrests or incarcerating non-violent petty criminals. This is how libs feel their way through problems...No thought is given to how much it will cost in time, as well as dollars, for the police to answer calls for the same criminals constantly committing petty crimes they already know they're not going to be arrested for committing.

 

---
From the "is this all liberals do... finds ways to make "animals" the victims" department - Online headline/story: "Cruz biological mother's past a factor in school shooting * The extensive criminal and drug abuse history of Parkland school suspect Nikolas Cruz's biological mother could be a key factor in whether he is sentenced to die for the massacre that killed 17 people, legal experts and officials say. * The mother, 62-year-old Brenda Woodard, played no role in Cruz's upbringing after giving him up for adoption after he was born. But her past, which included a crack cocaine purchase arrest while she was pregnant with Cruz, will almost certainly be brought up for a jury considering whether he should live or die." -- Good grief... she's dead.. he's had time to detox... he aimed and pulled the trigger on a gun he bought..... If there's any connection to his mother's past, then the jury should make expeditious efforts to reunite them in hell so she can apologize to him.. and vice versa!

 

---
From the "is this how liberals send a message to stop violence" department - Online headline/story: "Virginia man convicted of slugging white supremacist who organized deadly Charlottesville rally fined $1 * A Virginia man who prosecutors say was seen on video slugging white supremacist Jason Kessler one day after last year's deadly rally in Charlottesville was slapped with a $1 fine on Tuesday. * Jeffrey Winder was convicted of misdemeanor assault and battery for a second time during an appeal trial and faced up to 12 months in jail and $2,500 in fines. * However, a jury in Charlottesville decided the $1 fine and no jail time was enough" -- Hmmm.. a $1.00 fine for assault and battery... INTENTIONAL ASSAULT and BATTERY...Can you imagine the same jury would have only fined the victim a dollar if the scene was reversed.. This verdict should be overturned pronto as a civil rights violation... and the judge that accepted the jury's verdict should be recalled/impeached immediately!

 

---
From the "when will it stop" department -- Online headline: "New book to detail Trump's travails on the golf course" -- You know, any body can can write trash and call it a "book", but it takes talent to write an interesting account of the successes of a man. Obviously this this sports reporter is not a talented writer...I guess his sequel will be "Trump's stance in Port-A Potty Stinks"

 

---
We have reached a point that politics is not about issues of our nation, but issues defined by politicians. One group is favor of the laws as written by Congress, signed by a president, and confirmed over time by the Supreme Court, but then we have another group that feels the provisions of the Founding Fathers to enforce and change laws should be overruled by the whim of whomever disagrees with one, and judges..particularly, lower court judges should have the right to overrule a law based on their political agenda.

We have a truly Constitutional crisis on our hands that needs to be righted back on the track handed to us by our Founding Fathers.

Online story: "Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh said it was like a “gut punch” when he learned about the numerous sexual misconduct allegations levied against Judge Alex Kozinski, one of his former mentors, by numerous women." -- As sad a situation this has become, wearing a robe does not make a judge impervious to weakness. Here in Columbus many years ago, when I was recycled (post divorce), I dated (but not at the same time) two women who related their experiences with a local judge who was hearing their cases, and both said he had implied their situations would improve if they went off with him for a weekend. A week or so later, I ran into him and had a few moments of privacy in which I expressed my disappointment with what I heard, and since I was in the same dating arena, and if I heard of a third woman he tried to compromise, I would make sure he would be exposed. He was obviously shaken so I don't think he ever did it again but it really upset me that he had done such in the past.

 

---
Before Kavanaugh's vetting by the Senate Judiciary, I only had snippets of his qualifications and the word of other politicians as to his strengths. Well, I tell you what, after listening to his words and responses for two days, I have really been impressed with his patience, delivery, and his abilities to address Senators' issues.. real or imagined.. head on.

 

---
Had a FB respondent..liberal..discussing 'discussing'. She summed up her stance by saying she enjoyed such because it gave her an opportunity to express her side so others would change their mind. I asked her if she realized that accomplishing such depended more on her LISTENING than lecturing. She didn't respond at all.

 

---
One thing for certain is that DIMocrats asking Kavanaugh questions showed how closed minded...simple minded...single issue minded... they feel their voter base is. Sadly, not many of their database will watch and see for themselves how DIMocrats really feel about them.

 

---
How do graduates from colleges who block conservative ideas and speakers assimilate into society at work or in social ventures?

 

---
Online headline: "Hillary Clinton trolls Brett Kavanaugh as hearings launch: He will 'help gut or overturn Roe v. Wade' -- You know, my only regrets on Roe v. Wade are that it wasn't approved prior to Hellary's mother having a 'choice', and that it's currently being abused by liberals to support infanticide via 'partial birth abortions.

 

---
Sen Leahy .. along with Bernie, perhaps should be the new Image of the DIMocrats..a set of Vermont Senatorial bookends showing he and Bernie pushing against a pimple on the rump of a donkey. Leahy asked Kavanaugh whether if he'd wrongly received an e-mail from a Mr Miranda that originated from a DIMocrat computer...Kavanaugh politely dismissed it as questionable. I think I would have replied that "if I was on that e-mail list, it probably went to SPAM .. you pompous Jackass". (I'm pretty sure this will reappear if I were ever nominated for a SCOTUS seat... and I would proudly confirm it!)

 

---
In yesterday's M/C L-E, there was a story on the fatal school bus accident here in Muscogee County.. We could solve two big problems with one decision.. let's eliminate most busing.. the savings would be tremendous, but getting more parents more involved with their children's education would have an even bigger impact.

From the "Hey, NFL kneelers.. this is the reality of what you're protesting" department - M/C L-E headline/story: "Benning soldier dies from apparent insider attack * A Fort Benning soldier assigned to the 1st Security Force Assistance Brigade died Monday of wounds sustained during an attack in Logar Province, Afghanistan, the Department of Defense announced Tuesday. * Command Sgt. Maj. Timothy Allen Bolyard, 42, of Thornton, West Virginia, died of small arms fire in an apparent insider attack while supporting Operation Freedom’s Sentinel as a member of the 3rd Squadron, 1st Security Force Assistance Brigade. The shooting remains under investigation." -- Hey NFL kneelers.. you're not showing support for KaeperPRICK... you're not showing disrespect for for law enforcement doing their duty to "serve and protect"... you're telling the family of CSM Timothy Allen Bolyard that his life was meaningless. Maybe Nike NEEDS put it's "swoop" on your "DEPENDS" jock straps. To the Bolyard family.. many more million s of patriotic Americans will shun the NFL games than will watch it.. may God's peace be with you.

Welcome back Richard.. but I do think more information about salary should have been included in this announcement.. Such as at what salary and what did previous "chiefs-of-staff" make?

M/C headline: "Facebook, Twitter pledge to defend on foreign intrusion" -- While I do not have a "twitter" account, I do wish FaceBook would pledge to defend my, and everybody else's posts from being challenged as their "community" health.... I stand by my postings and I learn a lot about others from their postings..I can block/disregard all those I think truly offensive, and expose them for what they are.

 

---
M/C L-E guest editorial commentary headLIE: "No excuse for Trump’s behavior toward McCain * BY MARC A. THIESSEN * Special to The Washington Post" -- Wrong.. Trump has had every right to deg-fend himself, and it was McCain that folded under pressure at the end.. NO, it's not the "NO" vote on OObamaCRAP I'm talking about, but McCain's pettiness .. and lack of forgiveness prior to his passing that will haunt his legacy.

 

---
Why is it that DIMocrats are wanting to entice.. trip up..Judge Kavanaugh into speaking up about what he would do in "what if" situations.. stating his opinion on a "what if" case would be justification to not approve him because it would show he's not going to wait for the reality of evidence.

 

---
M/C L-E headline/story: "WHITE WATER CLASSIC RETURNS * the 2018 White Water Classic football game to be played this Saturday at Garrett-Harrison Stadium in Phenix City." --
Hmm... sorta like a Br'er Rabbit fable.. Columbus forked out the dough, and Phenix City is taking the Bread out of the oven.

From the "bias? what bias" department - M/C L-E headline/story: "Canada’s strong-willed foreign minister leads trade talks * Recruited into politics by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Freeland has already clashed with Russia and Saudi Arabia. Those who know her say she’s unlikely to back down in a confrontation with Trump." -- "she’s unlikely to back down in a confrontation with Trump."? Good grief.. Rob Gillies of the ASSociated Press must never have played a hand of straight poker... people who hold a pair of deuces can't bluff another holding 4-aces or a straight flush.

 Well, well, well.. looks like Rahm Emanuel is following the path of Obama .... again.. he's going to be leaving Chicago after this term in office. Guess he doesn't want to think about campaigning on the bullet-ridden streets of South Chicago ever again.

 

---
Hmmm.. the NFL has released a statement following the Nike deal made with KaeperPRICK and the extension to supply uniforms to the NFL teams: "The National Football League believes in dialog, understanding and unity," president of communications and public affairs Jocelyn Moore said in the statement. "We embrace the role and responsibility of everyone involved with this game to promote meaningful, positive change in our communities. The social justice issues that Colin and other professional athletes have raised deserve our attention and action." -- Hmm... So, the NFL "embraces" the thought of promoting "meaningful, positive change in our communities".... Yeah.. like when the Dallas Cowboys wanted to wear a sticker to support the Dallas police officers who were ambushed and shot while making sure protesters were protected, but were stopped by NFL officials? I tell you what.. all the players who DON"T KNEEL should tape over any "swoops" on their uniforms or gear, and make a pledge among themselves not to tackle or block any other player who does the same, and to tee-off on all players... especially QBs who DON'T tape over their "swoops" Wanna bet what the owners would do next?

 

---
Hmmm...the NFL just extended the uniform contract with Nike... Well...the boycott just got extended as well!

From the "another of the 99% who give the 1% of lawyers a bad name" department - Online headline/story: "Lawyer for homeless man: $400K in donations is all gone * Johnny Bobbitt's attorney, Chris Fallon, told the Philadelphia Inquirer he learned the cash was gone in a call with lawyers for Kate McClure and Mark D'Amico. * McClure and D'Amico are the couple accused in a lawsuit brought by Bobbitt of mismanaging donations raised for him through GoFundMe. The couple deny the claims in the suit, saying they're wary of giving Bobbitt large sums because they fear he will buy drugs. * McClure set the page up to give back to Bobbitt, a Marine veteran who helped her when she ran out of gas on an Interstate 95 exit ramp late one night. It raised more than $400,000 from more than 14,000 people. * Bobbitt walked a few blocks to buy McClure gas. She didn't have money to repay him at the time, but sought him out days later to give him the money, and visited him a few more times to bring food and water. They later appeared on shows like "Good Morning America" and were interviewed by the BBC. * D'Amico has said Bobbitt spent $25,000 in less than two weeks in December on drugs, in addition to paying overdue legal bills and sending money to his family. * The couple also bought Bobbitt a camper with some of the funds and parked it on land McClure's family owns in Florence, New Jersey. But Bobbitt became homeless again after D'Amico told him in June that he had to leave the property. * During an appearance Monday on NBC's "Megyn Kelly Today" show, D'Amico told Kelly there was well over $150,000 left of the donations. * The New Jersey judge in the case ordered the couple to transfer the money into an escrow account by Friday and hire an accountant to review financial records within 10 days. * The money will be transferred to an account controlled by Bobbitt's lawyers but can't be used until the judge determines how it will be managed." -- Did you see it? the blurb about the money being spent on "paying overdue legal fees"? How does a lawyer take legal fees from a homeless person?

 

Oh.. for all the millennials (and older snowflakes) out there.. in another story, it's revealed that of the $402.000.00 pledged through GoFundMe. that GoFundMe took about $30,000.00 in "fees". Like all liberals, GoFundMe obviously likes making money off other people's "good intentions".

 

---
Oh.. and one more thought: Was the homeless "John Bobbit" the same John Bobbit the same guy separated from Lorena Bobbit? Again?

---
From the "Oooops..false alarm" department - Online headline/story: " Pressley beats 10-term Rep. Capuano in Boston primary * In the latest blow to establishment Democrats, Boston City Councilor Ayanna Pressley defeated Rep. Michael Capuano for the nomination in Massachusetts’ 7th District." -- For a second.. I thought that maybe there was some truth about the Elvis not actually being dead.....nahhh... What we do have is another DIMocrat base, realizing who they had in Congress has paled in getting the results the rest of the county has gotten with Trump in office, wanting "change".. looks like the DIMocratic base may be seeing things the DIMocratic leadership has has not delivered.

One last word about McCain, his family and funeral: You know...making an issue about anyone not attending one's funeral pretty much tells God you do not honor or believe in Him. Holding on to hatred when forgiveness is the key to heaven pretty much puts your own destination at risk.

 

---
Why do DIMocrats feel Trump is responsible for the demise of OObamaCRAP? It's still with us, but now we don't HAVE to buy it, nor get fined for choosing not to do so. You know, John McCain may have thought he was screwing Trump when he cast his vote "NO" on repealing OObamaCRAP in it's entirety, but now DIMs cannot get by with blaming Trump with it, and in a way, even MSM-13 will have to report the numbers of the people who opted out of OObamaCRAP because they no longer HAVE to buy in...

 

---
Do you hear the DIMocrats harping about the Republicans not bringing up Obama's Supreme Court choice (Garland) to the Judiciary Committee? The DIMocrats could have cared less...in fact, they were happy because there was no campaign fodder for Republicans to fire up their base in the 2016 elections...and because...because the DIM's "knew" Hellary was going to win and she would bring up an even more liberal nominee.

 

---
Another question...what is the Liberals argument that says the US Supreme Court should be split so that most decisions should be 5-4.. If the Supreme Court Judges are actually doing their job diligently most decisions should be 9-0 ..either way.

 

---
What is it with liberals...their Roe v. Wade cause has become the whole support of infanticide via partial birth abortions.

 

---
How can liberals be so polar on their defense of the 1st Amendment and hatred of the 2nd? Without the 2nd, the 1st would soon be overturned as well.

 

---
Senator Booker of New Jersey says he wants more documents and more time to read them so he can ask intelligent questions. Intelligent questions my arse! If you have seen him in other committee actions, you know he's not interested in the best interest of anything other than his position in the DIMocratic Party pecking order.

 

---
How can DIMocrats harp about getting documents they feel they are entitled to concerning Justice nominee Kavanaugh , yet had no interest in helping their Republican colleagues get documents of importance from the FBI/DOJ concerning improper surveillance and misuse of government employees?

 

---
I get a number of "Prayer Requests" from a good man who runs a much needed social rehab program... Today, I received another from him.. and nit was the first one since Sunday, and my first thought was that it may be a "Prayer Request" for the Miami Hurricanes after their disaster against LSU.. Of course.. I was wrong and he was true to his mission.

Online headline: "White House hits back at bombshell Bob Woodward book, claims the book is full of stories from 'former disgruntled employees'" -- Reading some of the excerpts from the book and responses from those Woodward attributes the words makes one feel it a necessary obligation to go back and parse his investigation of Watergate..

 

---
You know, there're stories about an unidentified man reach his hand out towards Judge Kavanaugh at his hearing and it's being reported as Kavanaugh refusing to shake hands with a father of a student killed at Parkland (FL) High School. It was obviously an orchestrated move as the "father" rushed in as a camera "just happened to be" in a great observation point. The real question is how did an unidentified "spectator" get a place so convenient.. and close.. and inside of security personnel, to be able to get that close to Kavanaugh... and especially considering the "father" was from Florida and had no real reason to be sitting in the hearing room.

From the "bias? what bias?" department - M/C L-E headline/story: "Federal judge doesn’t recuse himself, dismisses civil lawsuit against Aflac * In dismissing the suit in a Friday order, U.S. District Court Judge Clay of the Middle District of Georgia addressed the plaintiffs’ “invitation” to recuse himself because of family relationships with Aflac and the judge’s affiliation with the so-called “Fish House Gang.” * Land did not recuse himself and called the request from Joffe a “careless” suggestion. * “A judge must recuse when ‘a person within the third degree of relationship’ to the judge is or could be involved in a proceeding in certain ways or has ‘an interest that could be substantially affected by the outcome of the proceeding,’” Land wrote. “None of the individuals counsel identifies are within the third degree of relationship to the undersigned; at least one of the identified family members is dead; and to the best of the undersigned’s knowledge, the others are not employed with Aflac.” * “Neither fish nor family disqualifies the undersigned from presiding over this action,” Land wrote. “ And because ‘there is as much obligation for a judge not to recuse when there is no occasion for him to do so as there is for him to do so when there is,’ the undersigned has a solemn duty to remain.”" -- Good grief... Chuck Williams could have save the M/C L-E a lot of ink and paper costs by not running this at all... all he had to do was look at the President who appointed him ("W"), and he'd known that Judge Land separated himself from the DIMocratic side of his grandfather's leanings.

M/C L-E headline/story: "Man shoots and kills a charging pit bull * No charges will be filed after a man shot and killed a pit bull when it charged after him early Saturday on 33rd Street and Sixth Avenue, Columbus police said. * The 25-year-old man wasn’t injured in the 2:35 a.m. attack in the 3200 block of Sixth Avenue, said Police Sgt. Alan Malone. * Patrol officer Timothy Darden was on a traffic stop at 29th Street and Veterans Parkway when he heard two gunshots from nearby Wilson Apartments. He ended the traffic stop and went to the public housing complex in the area where the shots were heard. * At the scene, a man told Darden that he was walking past a home when a pit bull charged after him. The man said he pulled his gun, fired two shots at the dog and killed the canine. * Police said it appears the man shot in self-defense in the dog attack." -- Hmmm... obviously there were questions either not asked or not reported... Starting with: 1 - Aren't public housing properties "gun free" zones? 2 - Did the shooter have a "carry permit"? and 3 - Who walks the street at 2:35 AM armed?

 

---
From the "buried in Section B" department - M/C L-E headline/story: "US factories grew at faster pace in August * U.S. factories grew at a faster pace in August as American industry continues to show robust health. * The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing managers, said Tuesday that its manufacturing index jumped last month to 61.3 from 58.1 in July. Anything over 50 signals growth * Sixteen of 18 manufacturing industries expanded in August, led by makers of electronic equipment, clothing, textiles and paper products. * New orders, production and inventories all grew faster in August. -- You know.. if it's about Trump and his economic prowess and successes, it will not make the front page os the MSM-13 coalition.

 

Once again.. why would the Russians, Syrians or Iranians "collude" to against Hellary? Against any DIMocrat for that matter.. Obama had Medvedev tell Putin (open mic tapes) "he;s "be more flexible AFTER (the 2012( elections, and Hellary was was already
on board".

Online headline: "Colin Kaepernick is starring in a new 'Just Do It' ad for Nike" -- Did we hear right...Nike just bought KaeperPRICK?

Write your college athletic director and demand ending any contracts with Nike uniforms, shoes, or gear..

 

---
You know.. in a pretty unprecedented move, President Trump made Air Force 2 available for transporting McCain's body and family from Arizona to Washington, DC. Trump should have sent his own personal "TRUMP" jet.. so that at least MSM-13 photos/videos would acknowledge Trump's magnanimity and efforts.

Online headline: "Florida's Gillum grateful for donations from 'everyday folks' -- and billionaires Soros and Steyer" -- Excuse me.. but why would any politician announce he's a puppet for Soros and Steyer?

You know.. with all the maladies coming to light at the Government Center, we also have to imagine how some of those issues could have been prevented if maintenance available money hadn't been spent on updated wheels on the City Manager's car, City participation in the $244,000.00 Queen TT Lounge, or concrete "mattresses" put into the Chattahoochee Whitewater Course.

 

---
Looking back.. and knowing Senator McCain's dad and grandfather were both Admirals in the US Navy, I guess the taxpayers were lucky Senator McCain only got to "steer" planes.. he crashed 3 of them, so we are thankful he wasn't allowed to steer aircraft carriers.

 

---
I understand there is a schedule of some sorts to the internal forensic audits going on in the Columbus Consolidated Government, but with the state of disrepair we see government facilities in, wouldn't it be more prudent to start ones for the City Manager and Maintenance departments

Was gone for the weekend...Question...did Veterans Parkway at Williams Rd get finished as promised?

Had an unusual weekend...we "familied" at Grand National in Opelika. We were the UGA-pulling-family in a Blue & Orange world.. Saturday evening and Sunday morning we were amazed that we didn't hear one Auburn fan calling for Gus Malzahn's head.

Americans...even non-liberal Americans who live in California, are what makes America GREAT.. California DIMocrats called for a boycott of In-and-Out Burgers, and Real Americans responded by record sales!

It must have been tough to be a Tennessee Vol fan this weekend....Tennessee was the only SEC team to lose.

 

---
You know, Trump didn't kill McCain, yet the MSM-13/DIMocrat coalition, McCain's daughter, and Obama literally made it about Trump. Even McCain's final wishes were full of Trump and Palin venom. Video history will be more about their anger and hatred than anything McCain did good for America.

From the "so... what';s new?" department - Another Monday , another week passed that we have no Campaign Disclosure filed by Zeph Baker, no confirmation, either way, of Mayor Tom-LYING-son's auto wreck and Amy Bryan hasn't removed her signs off the building at 13th St and 5th Ave, and Columbus' economy still struggles.

M/C L-E headline/story: "Group to fight ‘dark money’ influence in Georgia politics"-- there's really but 1 rule that will make a change..if a person or majority of a PAC group cannot vote for YOU, in your particular contested race, you cannot accept donations, and if a majority of 'dark group' cannot vote in a race, it cannot buy ad space in a state. This would make only the General Election day presidential race as the only one with open advertising for any group person.

Will the M/C L-E exercise fair and balanced political coverage? After a fluff interview with Stacey Abrams, I noticed no mention of an up-and-coming interview with Brian Kemp.

Online headline: "Lieberman and Graham defend Meghan McCain after she targets Trump in father's eulogy" -- What a screwed up woman! This wasn't about grieving.....she turned her dad's funeral into a Trump hate-fest!

 

---
Online headline: "Lanny Davis says he's to blame, not CNN, for controversy over Trump-Russia meeting story" -- Good grief...true, while Lanny Davis is responsible for his lies and such, but CNN is responsible not only for what it reports, but correcting "fake news".

Old Online headline/story "Daughter of Obama's ex-pastor gets 2 years in prison in state grant fraud * he daughter of President Barack Obama's former pastor was sentenced Thursday to two years in prison for her role in a state grant fraud scheme. * Jeri Wright, 49, was convicted in March 2014 of money laundering, and lying to federal investigators and a grand jury. She's been in jail since earlier this year, when U.S. District Judge Sue Myerscough revoked Wright's bail when she found probable cause that Wright was involved in a ghost payrolling scheme at an Indiana plastics company while on bond." -- With the deaths of McCain and Aretha Franklin and all the old names reappearing, I had a sudden memory spark and Rev Jeremiah Wrights name came to mind. Seems Pastor Wright is pretty much "off the grid", but did find the story about Wright being offered more "hush money" than Stormy Daniels to not speak publicly until after the 2008 Election

Online headline/story: "Confederate monument vandalized in South Georgia * State and local agencies are investigating after a Confederate monument was vandalized at a memorial cemetery in South Georgia. * A statue of a soldier was found broken from its base Friday morning and lying on the ground in multiple pieces, * The Screven County Confederate Dead Monument was virtually destroyed, according to the City of Sylvania, which oversees the cemetery. " -- And this could happen here too, in the future...has no one even thought about the new low-income housing project on the Claflin property backing up to one of the Confederate burial areas of Historic Linwood Cemetery?

Online headline: "Trump issues 4-word reply after criticism at McCain, Franklin funerals" -- Trump nails it again..."Make America Great Again!" You know, what we learned from the left is that they just have no clue as to what MAKES America GREAT.

From the "as already predicted" department - Online headline/story: "California's bail bondsmen say new law will 'totally kill' business: 'This is bad' * Sitting in his storefront office across the street from the Los Angeles County Men’s Central Jail and Twin Towers Correctional Facility, Clay Potter isn’t sure how many of the dozen or so businesses he shares a cramped, sun-bleached strip mall with will still be open in a year’s time. * after Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill earlier this week making California the first state to eliminate bail for suspects awaiting trial, Potter – whose father founded Bert Potter Bail Bonds 54 years ago – doesn’t think these small businesses, and the state’s bail bond industry as a whole, will be able to survive." -- And given the liberal bend of California judges, who make the decisions about what constitutes a "violent" crime, we can probably assume that NO CRIMINAL will sit in jail until their trial dates, so jailers... and their families.. will be victims as well.. and don;'t forget about bounty hunters... shoot, even "Dog" will probably lose his Reality Show.. Hmmm... one more reason to build "the Wall" to include California on the other side of it.

Online headline/story: "You know, at one time we had laws prohibiting foreign ownership of our media outlets...the reason being the potential of foreign propaganda. Now the Los Angeles Times is in this situation.. Hmmm...you know, foreign ownership and viewpoints will probably be THE "breath of fresh ideas" Californians actually need. * Soon-Shiong, a former physician who purchased the Los Angeles Times earlier this year, announced his plan to revitalize the company, which was then more than $1 billion in debt, according to its chief executive Rich Adcock. But those plans have evidently failed." -- You know, at one time we had laws prohibiting foreign ownership of our media outlets...the reason being the potential of foreign propaganda. Now the Los Angeles Times is in this situation.. Hmmm...maybe we should ban LIBERALS from owning American media...today, conservative foreign ownership and viewpoints would probably be THE "breath of fresh ideas" Californians actually need.

Online story: "The sons of legendary astronaut Neil Armstrong are defending a forthcoming film about their father's historic moon landing, saying it is not "anti-American in the slightest." * Rick and Mark Armstrong, along with Armstrong biographer James R. Hansen, were reacting to criticism from conservative pundits and politicians, who've complained that the film does not depict Armstrong's planting of the American flag on the surface of moon." -- I watched in amazement. well, more like "IN AWE", in the wee hours of July 1969. There were two moments indelibly etched in my memories..Neil Armstrong taking that first step, and the planting of our flag... the flag of our history... into the surface of the moon. We will not go to see the movie..unless..unless this scene is edited into the theater product.. I want my children and grandchild to feel what our generation experienced.

M/C L-E headline: "Tibbetts’ dad: Don’t exploit killing to promote racism" -- Good grief.. this scenario has nothing to do with race/racism! It';s about the illegal alien issues we have because of no preventative measures at our Southern border.

Online headline/story: " Kaepernick collusion claim continues, dismissal denied * Colin Kaepernick's collusion claim against the NFL will continue after system arbitrator Stephen B. Burbank denied the league's request to dismiss the case. * Kaepernick's attorney, Mark Geragos, posted a statement from Burbank on Twitter Thursday, reading in full: "On August 28, 2018, the System Arbitrator denied the NFL's request that he dismiss Colin Kaepernick's complaint alleging that his inability to secure a player contract since becoming a free agent in March 2017 has been due to an agreement among team owners and the NFL that violates Article 17, Section 1 of the collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and the NFLPA." -- Good grief... by necessity, "justice is blind, but judges shouldn't be.. Just last week, John Elway of Denver made known of a $7 Million dollar offer KaeperPRICK rejected, which pretty much destroys the claim of collusion, and since then, KaeperPRICK has done zilch in making himself "attractive" to football fans anywhere.

From the "Bias? What bias?' department - Online headline/rest of the story" +Trump cancels pay raise due federal workers in January * President Donald Trump has told Congress he is canceling a pay raise that most civilian federal employees were due to receive in January, citing budgetary constraints. * Trump says in the letter that locality pay increases would cost $25 billion, on top of a 2.1 percent across-the-board increase for most civilian government employees." -- "ON TOP OF A 2.1 PERCENT ACROSS-THE-BOARD INCREASE FOR MOST GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES"? Good grief.. what Trump is canceling is a $11,900.00 raise per federal employee on TOP of the $2,600.00 raise they recently got .. we have 2.1 Million employees (including the 130,000 Obama padded the rolls) and, as it is, we have 2,100,000 federal employees (non-military) and the annual payroll is $276,000,000,000.00 which means the average federal employees is paid over $131,000.00 per year ALREADY! Trump ...Vision 2020!

From the "Jon Lovitz, "yeah, that's the ticket" department - Online headline/story: "Fire inspectors shut down bar where fatal shooting occurred * A city code violation report says the restaurant didn't have a permit to hold the Madden NFL 19 tournament last weekend. On Sunday afternoon 24-year-old former champion gamer David Katz of Baltimore opened fire inside Chicago Pizza, killing two people and injuring nearly a dozen others before killing himself. * ire inspectors say the layout was altered without approval to create the GLHF Game Bar, where the tournament took place." -- Good grief.. Jacksonville is more concerned about not getting "another fee" for a business trying to bring excitement and sales/hotel taxpaying tourists to town.. so now Jacksonville is going to further punish the business.. isn't that a "piling on penalty"?

Looks like Bruce Ohr might be joining a new-aged Bill Clinton "FOB" class... but the acronym doesn't men the same.. "FOB" use to mean "Friend Of Bill"... now it means "Finding Other Bodies". --- From the "racism? what racism?" department - Online headline: "Juan Williams: Donald Trump Is the 'Snowflake President' -- How does MSM-13 let this pass without purging Juan Williams.. I guess Williams in the same protected arena with Jesse Jackson, who referred to NYC as "Hymie-town"., Hmmm.. I guess it's because Williams. like Jackson, can get away with slurs because he's a ......DIMocrat, too!

Online headline: "California Democrats call for In-N-Out boycott after burger chain donates $25G to GOP" -- Hmmm... I guess now that Christian Californians will have a hamburger choice to take their families to and be able to eat in peace.. Chick-fil-A already serves that purpose for chicken.

---
Watched some clips from the Cuomo-Nixon debate for the DIMocrat Gubernatorial Primary race in NY. I got somewhat confused...here were two uber liberals trying to out-flank each other to get as far left as possible, and , at times, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry..

---
DIMocrat spinmeisters are out to sidetrack Kavanaugh because he's against OObamaCRAP....huh? Yeah a DIMocrat spinmeister actually said OObamaCRAP is a constitutional RIGHT. Actually , regardless of what John Robert's said, OObamaCRAP's "mandatory" requirement was.. at best.. a Constitutional affront to our rights to make the choice ourselves.

From the "bias? what bias?" department - M/C L-E headline/story: "Stacey Abrams draws big Columbus crowd, talks about Stone Mountain stance in L-E interview * More than 150 people crammed into the 124-seat auditorium at the Columbus Public Library. Another 100 stood outside, unable to get into the hall." -- 250 people is a large crowd? Maybe so for DIMocrats... Obviously, though, Stacey Abrams missed the opportunity to point out the root of the major problems South Central/West Georgia has to deal with... the obstacles were right in the room with her but she didn't point out that Bishop, Smyre, Harbison, and Hugley were actually in the room.. Not sure whether Mayor Tom-LYING-son was there or not, but there was no mention of her being there.

---
From the "too bad some wishes coming true" department - While having other politicians appoint school board members was not the best option Phenix City has just voted in the worst possible option... a public elected board. Haven't Phenix City voters been paying attention to what's gone on here in Columbus? The elected school board are more politically involved than in problem solving..Columbus had the best option when the School Board was appointed by the Grand Jury as history has shown.

---
You know , when Trump brings up MS-13, the antifa, tax cuts, the soaring GDP/DJIA, and 'the WALL', MSM-13 blindly defends the DIMocrat opposition. What Trump should do is start alternately complimenting half the MSM-13 one week, and then the other half the next week... then sit back and watch half of the MSM-13 cannibalize the other half one week, and the other half cannibalize the other half the following week.

---
Another moment not working for McCain...leaving his earthly life with anger and unforgiveness ..this time it's Sarah Palin ..who, basically was the only reason most Republicans voted "for" his candidacy. The others just voted against the DIMocrat.

California has a bill pending about REQUIRING public corporations to have a woman on their board of directors. Talk about the past being an albatross to what California libs consider progress... can't you see some Male on every California Board of Directors standing up, declaring themselves "transgendered" by saying, "I'm a girl !"?

From the "collusion? what collusion?" department - Online headline/story: "3 ‘extremist Muslim’ New Mexico compound suspects released after judge drops all charges * District Judge Emilio Chavez and Judge Jeff McElroy on Wednesday dismissed charges against three of the five defendants -- Lucas Morton, Subhannah Wahhaj and Hujrah Wahhaj -- ruling that authorities violated the state’s “10-day rule.”" -- Hmmm... Judge Chavez.. though was appointed judge originally, he's an elected DIMocrat.. and running unopposed in November! Judge McElroy is also a DIMocrat and not up for re-election of confirmation this year.. and the Taos DA? Also and an elected DIMocrat... Donald Gallegos.

---
From the "if it looks like, sounds like, and walks like a duck, it's probably a duck" department - Online headline: "CNN fires back at Trump, stands by controversial story: ‘CNN does not lie’" -- Hmmm...CNN says it 'does not lie'... well if one knowingly reports an untruth that the source later refutes, then it's the same as lying.

M/C L-E headline/story: "Auditor: Former Mayor Reed not authorized to give bonuses * Former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed had no legal authority to award more than $500,000 in bonuses given to city staffers last year before he left office, according to a report by Atlanta City Hall’s independent officer and ethics officer." -- E-When's that auditor gonna be hired to audit Columbus' Mayor/ City Manager team.. just the thought of those unauthorized pat raises should have been enough to trigger one.

From a "Letter to the Editor" in the M/C L-E: "Yesterday, I had the privilege of working with the League of Women Voters in a voters registration drive. The event was the Cougar Kickoff for students at Columbus State University. Over 50 new voters were registered." -- Just curious,, do out-of-town/state CSU students register as Columbus voters? Let's face it, out-of-town/state college students are not residents in the sense that they are contributing members of the community.

---
From the "good grief!" department -- Florida State requires new students to take a course on dealing with stress.... but with one caveat... Florida State gives every new student an "out". If a new student feels stressed at being required to take a course on how to deal with stress, then the student is not required to take it.. If I was a Florida State alumnus, I do believe I'd demand that Florida State expunge my existence there, and give me a full refund of all my tuition/expenses.. 

From the either "bias? what bias? or the "I love it when libs eat their own" department - HuffPOOPOO headline/story: "Democrats just confirmed lots of Trump's judges so they could skip town * It’s a major win for Trump and McConnell, whose No. 1 priority is filling up federal courts with conservative judges ― many of whom are incredibly anti-abortion, anti–LGBTQ rights and anti–voting rights. " -- Good grief... our courts are about protecting our Constitutional rights, not about rewriting it through judicial activism versus the Constitutionally defined methods.

It's scary that the FBI 'leaked' stories of information it created then used those stories as evidence to present to a FISA judge to get higher level surveillance clearances on any American citizen, but it is dastardly that the FBI did it to spy on a presidential candidate. It's even scarier the FBI didn't use the actual information it had on Hellary to protect America.

Banning Trump from his own funeral.... hmmm... when it gets down to facts, it's sad that John McCain has departed life on Earth without forgiving President Trump. Sounds like McCain loses this battle.

You can see the DIMocrats literally falling apart..Tuesday night, Jehmu Greene was on Fox News talking about how the DIMocrat strategy was anti black women, and Wednesday AM, a white female DIMocrat spinmeister was gungho on the rise of black DIMocrat women in Florida who would make the difference in electing the Bernie-backed gubernatorial candidate over the Trump-backed candidate in November. I'm betting Jehmu Greene is a lot more on top of this issue.

California does it again...being a sanctuary state was bad enough, but beginning in 2019, California will be a cash-free bail state on non-violent misdemeanor crimes. In other words, most bailbond businesses will close down, and criminals will know exactly the limits of the law they need to stay under to stay free from jail.

Yesterday, I was talking about our GDP growth projection of growing to 4.6% in the 3rd Quarter after reaching 4.1% in the 2nd Quarter...Then Wednesday AM, the 2nd Quarter actual figures were RAISED to 4.2%! TRUMP...2020 VISION!

As scary as Jerry Brown has been for the taxpayers in California and the other 49 states, the next California DIMocrat candidate for governor, Gavin Newsome, wants to cover healthcare for all illegal aliens using MedicAID dollars. Guess it's basically a bribe to get the illegal votes.

 

---
I want to bring up what's being described as a Chinese 'hack' into Hellary's server as no e-mails... I don't think there was a 'hack' at all, the Clinton's and ChiComs have been political "buds" for decades, and the Chinese were probably provided the password to Hellary's computer.

Online story: "A for-profit company that educates at-risk students won tens of millions of dollars from Chicago Public Schools with help from then-CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett and her co-conspirators in a separate bribery scandal, the school district’s inspector general found in a report released Tuesday. * That “highly unethical conduct” was essential for Camelot Education to open four CPS campuses several years ago, Inspector General Nicholas Schuler’s office said in the report. Camelot now operates six schools in CPS, with a total of about 800 students, and the Texas-based company has received more than $67 million in district business, the IG said." -- Good grief! This is the company that our MCSD Superintendent wanted to bring into OUR school system! By the grace of God, through many concerned citizens and a 5-4 vote of the MCSB, this move was thwarted.. Next year, 2 of the votes that kept Camelot out will be gone.. perhaps we need a forensic audit of all the MCSD administration to look for kickback Camelot may have used to induce consideration.
