From the "ain't gonna happen, but I don't blame 'em for trying" department - Online headline: "Armed with new power, Democrats push for stricter U.S. gun laws" -- Not on the National level anyway.. There may be some more "new laws" in uber-lib states (don't blame them there as many of the uber-leftists worry about some of the more saner leftist worried about their own 2020 re-elections), Nationally, even the US House cannot overrule a veto.

Dems.. they still haven't figured out the that if they could outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns.... at least I hope they are concerned about that...

From the "what happens when Socialist/Communists rule" department - Online headline/story: "More than 50 polar bears invade Russian village, sparking government to declare state of emergency * Despite the siege, residents have been warned they face prosecution is they shoot the endangered species." -- Do you see the pattern.. and in the US, the Socialist-Communist-Democrats don't even want you to have a gun to defend your family to begin with...

As the scenes of Pebble Beach faded away into the pre-Grammy show on CBS, my bride and I watched the Red Carpet pre-Grammy show...I believe Comic Con costumery will pale to what was being worn at the Grammys. I also wonder if Barnum&Bailey's bought some of those outfits for the clowns? How about PHIL! He's leading by 3 with 3 holes to be played today!

From the "semantics" department - Online headline/story: "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: 'The GOP is so intellectually bankrupt' * Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has blasted the GOP for being “intellectually bankrupt” after unsubstantiated rumors were spread online about her finances. * This stuff is really sad. The GOP is so intellectually bankrupt that they no longer engage to debate issues in good faith, but instead seek to lie, distort, name-call, target, & destroy people/communities w any means possible. It’s a virus and a race to the bottom.” * She had previously retweeted a post from controversial figure John LeFevre who wrote: “@aoc has a 430 credit score, two evictions, and an empty résumé. Just two months ago, she couldn’t afford an apartment in DC. Now, the Democratic leadership has put her on the Financial Services Committee & the media is saying that her Green New Deal will ‘reshape’ the economy.” -- I was going to say that Ocasio-Cortez was just mincing words, because Democrats are morally bankrupt and intelligence challenged when it comes to governance, but Ocasio-Cortez makes a good stab at also cementing Democrats at "intellectually bankrupt" as well.. John LeFevre is something.. but a GOP politician is not one of them.

HuffPOOPOO headline: "Average tax refunds down 8.4 percent as angry taxpayers vent on Twitter" -- Good grief! Hey taxpayers.. there are no such thing as "tax refunds".. when you get a check BACK from the IRS, it's because IRS is sending you back YOUR money you stupidly sent them during the year that the government used without paying you ANY interest! Getting smaller refunds is something you should be THANKING TRUMP about!

From the "let's see how gullible they are" department - Online headline/story: "Nearly 60 percent of Virginia's African-Americans want Gov. Northam to remain in office: poll * The Washington Post-Schar School poll, conducted Wednesday through Friday, found Virginia's broader population to be split evenly about Northam’s fate, with 47 percent wanting him to stay and the same percentage wanting him to resign. * African-Americans, however, prefer that the Democrat remain in office, 58 percent to 37 percent. Whites are more evenly divided" -- Hmmm... a WaPo poll? I'm sure we can probably find a WaPo poll that says 120% of VA African-Americans were AGAINST Confederate statues, too, yet 60% are "OK" with Democrats wearing "black-face" and Klan hoods? When are black American citizens going to "woke" about what Democrats really think about them?

Veterans Parkway Eyesore of the Week: 1928 Veterans - Parcel ID 06 016 014

This is a jewel.. it's owned by a person from Akron Ohio.. and until 2015, paid less than $2.00 in property taxes Someone from the City obviously took a look at it in 2015 and did up the tax to almost $125.00 then upped it again in 2017 to a shade over $500.00.. then last year to $564.00 (which has not been paid!) This is a pretty valuable speculative piece of commercial property yet retains its "R3-Residential Lots" rating...

Two pics: one from 2015 and one from 2019

From the "this is what happens when you put Democrats in charge" department - Online headline/story: "Omar calls for defunding Homeland Security -- 1 hour after insisting that TSA workers get backpay * But just an hour before calling for DHS to be defunded, as Fox News anchor Rob Schmidt points out, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn tweeted her outrage on behalf of TSA workers in Minnesota who haven’t received back pay due to the recent partial government shutdown." -- Good grief.. they HAVE received their "back pay" (actually just delayed pay" whether they actually worked or not) yet really wants to abolish their jobs altogether.. I assume with severance pay, annual vacation pay, and.. of course.. retirement pay. Hey Union bosses.. you taking notes?

Notes from the "River Road Roundabout" - Our pixie decorators haven't missed a beat.. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Day, and now Valentine's Day decor adorns the port-a-pottie.. I guess you really have to "feel the love" to go in there late in the day. Hopefully, traffic engineers can now see first hand how the effect of having a sweeping uphill right turn followed by a left swerve and another right swerve by a logging truck traveling south on River Road is not going to fare well.

From the "suspicions confirmed" department - Online headline: "Hillary Clinton Praises Nancy Pelosi: 'It Often Takes A Woman To Get The Job Done' * The former presidential nominee also said that standing up for women's rights "is the unfinished business of the 21st century." -- Praise be to Trump!

If you buy or pay for your own iPhones, maybe it's time to abandon Apple. How about a 21st Century sequel to "Fahrenheit 451" ... "Fahrenheit i451"

 

---
M/C L-E headline: "As downtown grows, so do parking challenges" -- Hmmm.. you know, Council could enact a law that requires anyone renting/selling residential units be required to demonstrate that 2 (or more) parking spaces are available (and in proximity) for each piece/unit sold/rented, and are included in the rent or sales price. CSU could help by requiring all downtown campus students use the parking garage it's co-owns off Front Avenue.

Looks like Governor Cuomo has even more revenue issues to be concerned about than he thought.. Changes in the Federal tax code presented by the Trump tax cuts have revealed how NY's tax breaks for wealthy property holders are no longer available and wealthy New Yorkers are moving to lower taxing states..and now, Amazon has stepped back for another look at it's new plans to build another HQ building there which would bring 25,000 new jobs to NY. Bezos might want to take another look at Amazon's plans in Virginia, too.

There was a shooting death at Castlegate Apartments here in Columbus..it is listed as 3700 Bridgewater Road (intersects with Southlea) yet there's no information in the tax database for that address... with all the money ex-mayor Tom-LYING-son spent on new tax database software, it should be easy to find.. It's rather weird since the person killed owns other properties yet had the tax bills on those sent to him at 3700 Bridgewater. Where can I get the Parcel ID number for these apartments? Update: Property owned by Atlanta firm.

 

---
It wasn't Chief Justice John Robert's vote on the Louisiana abortion bill itself that threw me, but the fact that Ruth Ginsburg voted at all. How do the rules of the U S Supreme Court allow non-participating Justices to vote? I mean, reading reports of court interchanges may inform you of the details, but reading reports does not mean you understood the issues as presented. I do want to ask why any of the judges voted against the Louisiana law.. all along, one of the main issues of abortion advocates concerns women's health, yet, the US Supreme Court judges just ruled that women who might need hospital care because of n abortion related complication may not be able to get admitted to a hospital in a timely matter.

 

Now.. even with John Robert's vote, had Ginsburg not voted, the overall vote would have been 4-4, and, basically, thrown back into the hands of the states where it should have been.

Online "headLIE": "Empowered Dems flex muscle with host of new tax proposals" -- "empowered"? Empowered to do what...spin wheels, blow hot air, look stupid? Good grief...the House Dems are only empowered to be either obstructionists or contributors to a greater America ... and right now, they ain't helping.

 

---
It doesn't bother me so much as what Alexandia Ocasio-Cortez doesn't understand about economics, but it scares the hell out of me what would happen if the government acted on her beliefs.

 

---
You know, I'm waiting for any of the MSM-13 organizations to ask Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez why do we need to change anything we're doing since she feels the world will end in 12 years.

 

---
From the "the times may be a changin'" department - Is it just me, or have you noticed that MSM-13 is focusing more on true Democrat dalliances than alleged ones about Trump since the SOTU speech?

 

---
MSM-13 needs to look at why it supports the Democratic Party.. Democrats whine loudly about what they would do when they are not the majority, yet when they get it, they have no plan to get anything done that actually improves America.

Looking at the "plans" for the proposed development in Midland, I see huge access and traffic issues. From the south, the only easy access will be driving north to the J R Allen Parkway so you can take right-turn exits into the complex.. but if come from the east or drivers from the south try to access it from the eastern side, left turns across the divided highway will become a nightmare.. New overhead access ramps/bridges will have to become a priority, and unless the ramps have very extended length, cars will be backed up into the west bound Parkway lanes.

M/C L-E story: "The National Enquirer’s alleged attempt to blackmail Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos with intimate photos could get the tabloid’s parent company and top editors in deep legal trouble and reopen them to prosecution for paying hush money to a Playboy model who claimed she had an affair with Donald Trump." -- "Blackmail"? That's certainly in the eye-of-the-beholder, but another way of looking at it was that the National Enquirer was doing Bezos a favor by not just printing those pictures unannounced. The sad thing is if Bezos had such pictures of President Trump, he would not have hesitated in running them. The National Enquirer should be praised for not doing what Bezos would have done without remorse.

M/C headline/story: "Director Spike Lee boycotts Gucci, Prada products * Director Spike Lee said Friday he will no longer wear Gucci or Prada until the brands hire some black designers following a pair of blackface fashion fails from the major Italian fashion houses." -- Good grief.. most of us already "boycott" those "houses".. While we don't have that kind of money to waste of fashion frivolity, we do have common sense not to do so even if we could.

M/C L-E guest commentary headline: "The Stacey Abrams revolution * BY JAMELLE BOUIE * New York Times" -- Hmmm .. you know, here's another NYTimes writer that has made a "rush to judgment" error.. Just look at the headline.. "The Stacey Abrams Revolution".. in effect, she turned $40 Million dollars of out-of-state funding into a wake-up call for Georgia not to fall asleep at the ballot boxes.. "Revolution"? No.. more of a "Stacey Abrams Abortion".

Good grief.. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants for the TSA agents to get their back pay.. first, they already have, but it's not "back pay", it's "delayed pay" because that wasn't the issue... but then Ocasio-Cortez said she wanted to eliminate the Department of Homeland Security altogether.. which is the agency that TSA agents work for.. but then again, TSA agents wouldn't have to worry about pay anymore as Ocasio-Cortez wants to guarantee pay for everyone regardless of whether hey work or not.

M/C L-E headline/story: "California border town swept up in Mexico’s waste * Noxious sewage filled with feces, industrial chemicals and other raw waste regularly comes in through the New River, which flows from Mexico’s Mexicali Valley and through Calexico, leaving neighborhoods along the waterway engulfed in pungent fumes. And it’s not just the river: From above, smoke billows from Mexican factories, illicit medical burn sites and tire pits, fueling widespread asthma in the region. * As Washington debates spending billions to shore up barriers along the 2,000-mile Southwest border, many residents in California’s Imperial Valley feel at least some of that money could be spent to address the region’s public health threats. Just feet away from Calexico, Mexico’s lax environmental rules and enforcement pose a regular menace." -- You know, California could probably have enough money to lean up the Mexico waste if California eliminated the money spent on illegal aliens in "sanctuary city havens".

Columbus Council Agenda: "15th AVENUE CLOSURE AND ABANDONMENT: Approval is requested to authorize the changing of the official street maps and tax maps by officially closing and abandoning a section of right of way for 15th Avenue beginning at the north right of way line of 55th Street and 15th Avenue and running northerly for a distance of 150 feet as shown on map or plat titled “Part of 15th Avenue Right-Of-Way”; authorize the disposal of the said right of way in accordance with applicable state law; reserving easements; and for other purposes." -- Is this really enough information for Council to vote on? How about "who asked" for this, and what the predicted need for such is planned?

 

Columbus Council Agenda: "Purchases: Traffic Incident Management Services (Annual Contract)" -- Hmm.. how about giving us a report from said vendor about the accident ex-Mayor Tom-LYING-son had before renewing this contract...

 

Columbus Council MUSCOGEE COUNTY JAIL SHOWER REPAIRS: "There are 36 showers located in the south tower which was constructed in 2003. * Showers are constructed of tile walls and floors with no waterproofing membrane." -- You know.. for shower construction done just 15 years ago,, surely there was "code" for waterproofing.. how was this given a certificate of occupancy? And for public safety. who was the 2003 contractor?

There's a list of the 50 worst action movies.. don't waste your time.. the absolute worst.."Ishtar" didn't make it so it's not a well researched list.

 

---
Another more telling list featured the 50 States' "foreclosure" rankings.. The worst 5 were NJ, DE, MD, FL and IL (1st-5th)NY was 13th but with the new tax laws, NY should be in the worst 5 next year,, also MA was the 15th worst.. I mention these because of where most of the Democrat presidential wannabees live. Painfully, GA slipped in as the 14th worst, but seeing how Columbus floundered under ex-mayor Tom-LYING-son, and then there's Stacey Abrams, who the GA Dems are putting all their hope in future, so we must be diligent in getting more conservative voters out on 2020!

 

---
And still another list.. this time, the worst states for burglaries. GA .. no earnest surprise here, is overall 14th worst per 100,000 people, but.. and a BIG but at that, GA had the 6th HIGHEST rate of burglaries in the country.. And it's inflated by Columbus' floundering economy and education rankings.. combined with it's political allegiance with Democrats ( it's no surprise when the Chair of the School Board, the Minority Whip in the GA Legislature, and Columbus' City Manager all share one family name...

Online story: "California Gov. Gavin Newsom will announce plans Monday to pull back all members of the National Guard who have been deployed to the border with Mexico, saying the state would not be part of the Trump administration's "manufactured crisis." -- Good grief.. whatta doofus.. It's as simple as this nephew of Queen PeLOUSY was having a tough time 'splaining his use of CA National Guardsmen being deployed at the border of a Sanctuary State.. Now, since Trump is SENDING 3,700 troops to the border, I hope he sends some Corp of Engineers to California to remove the fences at Tijuana and transplant them to place that are being overrun elsewhere.

M/C L-E story: "The Financial Efficiency Star Rating for the Muscogee County School District remained at 3.5 stars on a 5-star scale in the Georgia Department of Education’s annual release of the statewide results." -- Parsing this ranking into actual numbers is east.. 20% for each star.. so 3.5 star's are a 70%.. a "D-" in any rating system... Now.. particulars.. only 9 of 32 Elementary schools scored 3.5 Stars or better, and only 4 of 12 Middle Schools did , and while 7 of 9 High Schools showed average or better scores it brings us to a startling reality.. Dr Lewis has been on the job for 5 complete years so Elementary school rating are the only one purely reflected by his programs and leadership.. and the Elementary school score are considerably worse that the overall scores. The Middle Schools also reflect poor elementary school foundation. What was it that Pogo said to Porkypine..."We have met the enemy and he is us."

From the "hoisted by his own petard" department - Online headline/story: "Bezos says Enquirer threatened to publish revealing pics * Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said Thursday he was the target of "extortion and blackmail" by the publisher of the National Enquirer, which he said threatened to publish revealing personal photos of him unless he stopped investigating how other private photos and messages were obtained by the tabloid. * The photos include a "below the belt selfie" of Bezos, photos of him in tight boxer-briefs and wearing only a towel, and several revealing photos of Sanchez, according to the email Bezos released in his blog post." -- Good grief...what an ego! Had Bezos just "done the right things" there'd be no pics and probably not a divorce.

So much for Norfolk-Southern or even the City or Chamber of Commerce being concerned about how visitors perceive Columbus, GA...just took a re-tour of northern sections of Veterans Parkway... and had mixed emotions about what I saw.. I saw the intersection of Veterans at William's and Moon Roads were void of work trucks and orange barrels. Then I drove on southward only to be disappointed that the stacks of railroad cross-ties and piles of railroad spikes were still present after I brought attention to them a couple of weeks ago.

How can Elizabeth Warren claim she never benefited from presenting herself as an ethnic minority on Job Applications? Other than hoping to get preferential treatment, there's no reason she should have done this. Now, she was a lawyer...an officer of the court, and lied (ignorance is no argument)..and as a lawyer, she knows how and why she needs to do due diligence and research before presenting "evidence". Therefore, she can..and probably should be disbarred.

WRBL3-TV headline/story: "As Tomlinson eyes statewide run, she is working with high-profile strategist * "I am working with Joe Trippe of Trippe, Norton," Tomlinson said. "... I can assure you that if I determine to run for statewide office, we'll be in it to win it. And that's not something we are going to take lightly." She stopped short of saying she had hired Trippi, but one look at his resume and it's clear what he does. Most recently, he ran media on Doug Jones' successful U.S. Senate campaign in Alabama. He ran media on Jerry Brown's California successful 2010 gubernatorial campaign." --
Once again, Tom-LYING-son is working against the best interests of the future of Columbusites...only now she wants to eviscerate all of GA. Now, let's look at the "success" of Joe Trippi... in California, Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown was a shoo-in to begin with.. and in Alabama, Doug Jones was elected in a special election but won only 1 of the 7 Congressional Districts against a heavily damaged Roy Moore, but Jones will not retain that seat in 2020.

From the "looks like Charter-Spectrum can star as EVIL in one of it's ads" department - Online headline/story: "Charter raises sneaky “broadcast TV” fee for second time in four months * Charter Communications will raise its "broadcast TV" fee from $9.95 to $11.99 on March 1, only four months after the previous fee increase. * Hattis Law said it is also investigating reports from former Time Warner Cable customers that "fixed rates are not being honored despite Spectrum staff promising no increases." -- Two years ago, I switched to Charter/Spectrum with a promise (versus contract) that I'd get 3 years at a fixed $89.85 price.. but then after fees were added, that $89.95 became $122.00. Two n-months after I started, Charter/Spectrum took away the Golf Channel from my package, but said I could add it back for an additional $12.00 which I declined.. Now 2 years later that $122.00 has grown to $136.00 and now will go even higher.. Charter/Spectrum is EVIL, too.

Online story: "A divided Supreme Court stopped Louisiana from enforcing new regulations on abortion clinics in a test of the conservative court's views on abortion rights. * The justices said by a 5-4 vote late Thursday that they will not allow the state to put into effect a law that requires abortion providers to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals." -- Personally, I do not think that abortions are a legislative matter, but that said, why would Chief Justice Roberts deny women their best medical practices opportunity.. It seems to me that so many aspects of abortion arguments are built around a woman's choice and her health that every authorized person performing one should be able to admit the woman to a better care facility should the abortion process itself threaten her health.

Now, the big question.. why did Ginsburg get to vote.. was she physically present for the argument and the vote?

M/C L-E headline/story: "SECTION OF CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVERWALK TO CLOSE FOR NEARLY TWO MONTHS * A section of the Chattahoochee Riverwalk will be closed for about eight weeks so work crews can relocate a storm sewer pipe, according to the City of Columbus. Officials have placed signs along the Riverwalk to illustrate the detour around the closure, which is from 12th Street to 14th Street. The closure started Feb. 5." -- Hmmm... isn't that where the $244,000.00 Queen TT Lounge was built? Now it looks like we have another "waste" issue to deal with.

From the "does PeLOUSY know she and Venezuela's Maduro are on the same side" department - M/C L-E headline/story: "Aid for Venezuela arrives at border of Colombia * Maduro denies a humanitarian crisis exists." -- Hmmm.. and doesn't PeLOUSY claim there's no crisis at our border?

From the "and the beat goes on.. even after Tom-LYING-son exits" department - M/C L-E headline/story: "Gunshot wound linked to remains found in woods off Victory Drive, officials say * ore than two months after possible human remains were found on a trail off Victory Drive, tests from GBI crime lab have determined a shortstatured man died of a gunshot wound, Columbus police said Wednesday. * To help identify the man, the Homicide Unit is requesting anyone with information on the identity or how the person might have been shot" -- Looks like the 2018 "number" needs to be adjusted .. now it's 34...

From the "DOH! Build the WALL!" department - Online headline: "Caravan migrants stalled at Texas border eye other routes" -- Good grief! Ask your Congresspersons.. House and Senate, how they will vote on "Wall" bills this month; if they vote "NO", start finding them a replacement.

 

---
You know, while the Governor and State Attorney General of Virginia are political "toast" for for acts involving "lack of discernment" which is not "against any law" (..other than youthful stupidity).. the Lt Governor is facing real criminal charges.. while we know that a "rush to judgment" is not fair.. but a political fact of life... one cannot lose fact that the Lt Governor's accuser is represented by the same firm that represented another California professor in her claims against Judge Kavanaugh, and that firm has a well connected Democrat history, and the firm's acceptance of a case AGAINST a Democrat is very condemning. The fact the HuffPOOPOO is investigating a Democrat is even MORE condemning.

 

---
Once again. Br'er Trump walked away from PeLOUSY's "brier patch" laffin' .. He left the House chamber having shattered PeLOUSY's control over the women in Congress as she stewed helplessly behind him.

 

---
You know, when a Congressional Representative must kowtow to the voice of the party leader. The Congressional Representative's home District voters are the biggest loser..that Representative is no longer their voice.

 

---
You know, since PeLOUSY is from California, and early built walls at the CA-MX border have cut illegal alien crossings directly into California by 96%, maybe Trump should just re-open the California border by taking those fence/wall sections down and move them to other border sites...maybe like between CA and the rest of the USA.

 

---
With the photos popping up of Democrats in black-face in droves, maybe it's time to go back in time and take another look at the picture of Bill Clinton as an overalls wearing hick and Hellary in black-face. It was waved off by MSM-13 back then, but it sure warrants to be looked at again.

From the "being bit in her Wampum" department -- Pocahontas is back! it appears she applied for the bar in Texas under the guise of being an "American Indian".. not as a Native American, but an American Indian...according to the story, "The card was not part of her application to the bar, the source told HuffPost; she had already been admitted when she filled it out." -- Hmmm...Since she was already an officer of the court, lying is a terminating offense! And what is it with the HuffPOOPOO.. first reporting on Lt Governor Fairfax of Virginia and no exposing Elizabeth Warren.. have Democrats worn out their "exemption" with MSM-13?

 

---
Let's be honest... The Dems pushing Stacey Abrams out to respond to the SOTU was an intentional ploy to keep current national Democrat wannabe leaders from damaging themselves any further.

 

---
Let's talk about what What Abrams actually accomplished .. she was spending so much other people's money spreading her idea that illegals should vote that record amounts of legitimate and concerned Georgians rallied to vote against Democrats in RECORD NUMBERS! Now, the rest of the country got a warning shot of the Democrats' 2020 strategy.

Boy did Buss Aldrin make a statement contradicting the director of "First Man". Remember him saying that he did not have the planting of the American flag on the Moon's surface scene because it was irrelevant? Well, obviously, by the tie Aldrin was wearing, Buzz Aldrin felt differently.

 

---
Looks like Virginia... well, the nation's Democrats, too, are being exposed for the hypocrites they truly are.. The same State officials who have condemned statues of Confederate historical Virginians, have been outed for modern day racism and misogyny. We had heard about the issues of the governor and the Lt governor, and now the Democrat State Attorney General just got out in front of his black-faced depiction of rapper back in college in 1980. What else are Democrat voters we going to learn about their party leaders in the next few weeks?

So Dem Adam Schi** has rescheduled Michael Cohen's testimony until Feb 28.. That means Cohen will be swished away to prison within a week getting Cohen out of the MSM-13 focus.

Seriously... how can the Democrat voter base continue to support Democrat politicians on their socialist agenda. Venezuela..the Democrats shining example, has imploded from being the most prosperous South American country to one of abject poverty under a socialist regime.

M/C L-E story: "St. Anne Community Outreach, in partnership with Feeding the Valley Food Bank, will continue to offer grocery assistance to all local federal employees affected by the government shutdown." -- Good grief.. I believe in charity.. but this is not charity.. and the federal recipients should be embarrassed if they took it and didn't repay it when their checks were deposited.. None of them lost a dime in pay!

M/C L-E "headLIE": "House Dems to push ‘sensible’ gun safety laws" -- "sensible"? Since when is taking guns away from law-biding citizens "sensible".. "sensible" would be taking guns.. and freedom.. away from criminals!

M/C L-E story: "The Muscogee County School District has honored the schools whose students made the most academic improvement relative to their statewide academic peers last school year. * This is the fourth straight year the district has given its SGP Awards, measured by the Student Growth Percentile. * The SGP allows all students to demonstrate growth, regardless of their achievement level. MCSD awarded three places among its 32 elementary schools, 13 middle schools and 10 high schools." -- It would be NICE if the story told us which 3 schools had overall improvement rather than just the schools ..and grade/subject particular... had certain improvements. I love to read about success, but pawning off minimal data as reality dilutes the real story.. out of 55 MCSD schools, 52 did not show improvement... I know it's tougher on the current schools that excel already to get measured improvements, but we need the whole story.. not what's been cherry-picked and presented as a positive for the whole system.

M/C L-E headline/story: "City truck pulled into path in fatal crash, police say * a city employee steered from the driveway at 7501 River Road about 8:25 a.m. to travel westbound." -- Aside from directional dysphoria (River Road runes north/south) and it's taken a full week for this to "make the L-E", one real question hasn't been answered.. in fact, it may not have been asked.. Anyway, why was a City garbage/debris truck even in a Commercial Business property in the first place? I thought that businesses used commercial pick ups, and the City only serviced residential facilities. For the record, this is  Parcel ID 172 001 001 owned by CHATTAHOOCHEE PLAZA LLC.

M/C LE story: "NASA scientists announced Wednesday that the Earth’s average surface temperature in 2018 was the fourth highest in nearly 140 years of record-keeping and a continuation of an unmistakable warming trend. * “The five warmest years have, in fact, been the last five years,” said Gavin Schmidt, director of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, the NASA group that conducted the analysis. “We’re no longer talking about a situation where global warming is something in the future. It’s here. It’s now.”
* Overall, 18 of the 19 warmest years have occurred since 2001." -- Could it simply be that measuring devices not only have reached "state of the art" status, but certain political elements are directing where tests and results be achieved?

From the "talking about shooting oneself in your arse" department - Online headline/fact: "Fact-checking Trump's State of the Union address * Yes, Border Patrol arrests in the San Diego sector plummeted 96 percent from nearly 630,000 in 1986 to barely 26,000 in 2017, a period during which walls were built. But the crackdown pushed illegal crossings to less-patrolled and more remote Arizona deserts, where thousands died in the heat. Arrests in Tucson in 2000 nearly matched San Diego's peak." -- Good grief! Trump couldn't make his plea for a Southern Border wall any clearer than this!

Yes, Stacey Abrams, racism is wrong.. no matter what color one's skin is. Oh.. did anyone see ex-Columbus, GA Mayor Tom-LYING-son in the background?

 

---
How foolish is it to expect Democrats to adopt Trump's dream of a greater, safer, more economically advanced America? Let's face it, Democrats still do not accept or promote Dr Martin Luther King. Jr's " dream".

 

---
It was actually fun watching Nancy PeLOUSY begrudgingly have to stand up as President Trump hit home run after home run on subjects dear to American.. regardless of party of allegiance

 

---
President Trump kept another of his promises Last night...he said he was going to preach unity, and Democrats stood and cheered "USA USA USA".

 

---
It was incredible to watch Democrats trying to hold their composure as President Trump related horror stories of how illegal aliens have brought in crime, misery, and death for our fellow American citizens....knowing they would reconvene tomorrow and vote against solutions because of the ego of Nancy PeLOUSY.

 

---
After commentators made note of "W" being the first President to address a Speaker as "Madam Chairman", President Trump simply ignored PeLOUSY when he was acknowledging dignitaries.

 

---
It's going to be interesting...it was obvious that not all Democrats were controlled by PeLOUSY's puppet strings.

 

---
Was there a dry eye in the House chamber last night...or even in the TV audience when it was revealed that one of President Trump's guest was a Dachau death train survivor.. and the man next to him was a US soldier.. our German descent.. that marched into Dachau to end the Hitler nightmare?

 

---
I really have had a hard time even considering supporting National/State Democrats at the polls... it's not about the person or his/her character, it's about them giving it up to Party Agenda. I have to know that my representative is going to put the best interests of the country/state ahead of the agenda of Party officials.

From the yawn" department - Online headline: "Clinton, Comey, Holder targeted by GOP bill for lying to Congress" -- Good grief.. where were they when such a bill would have actually been voted on in the House?

 

---
Online headline: "Connecticut Dem introduces 50 percent tax on ammunition, calling it 'public health measure' -- Good grief...is this all we can expect from Democrats until 2020...petty and nuisance bills that won't ever reach the floor of the Senate or President Trump's desk?

 

---
Online headline: "Cuomo blames federal tax law for $2.3 billion New York budget deficit"-- Good grief! What the new tax laws did was eliminate taxpayers in other states from being responsible for absorbing New York's tax advantages.

 

---
Both the governors of NY and CA are alarmed at the number of millionaires moving out of their states... DOH! They both blame Trump, but what's happening is that millionaires are tired of all the "straw" being put on their backs, and they can afford to move out of those liberal domains. In fact, they are the only ones who can afford this.. the middle class will follow as the tax load shifts to them, and the social services recipient class will NOT move out because they are only there for the "freebies" that attracted them there in the first place.

Online headline/story: "Death, dogs and a missing $190 million: The strange case of crypto exchange QuadrigaCX * A major Canadian cryptocurrency exchange is in the spotlight following the sudden death of its founder, which has left customers unable to access $190 million in funds. * Gerald Cotten, the 30-year-old founder of QuadrigaCX, died in India on Dec. 9, 2018 due to complications from Crohn’s disease, according to a sworn affidavit by his wife, Jennifer Robertson. At the time of his death, Cotten was the only person with the password to access the customers' funds." -- You know there's a scam in here somewhere...even if the guy is dead...somebody has access to those millions...

 

---
Schumer is a joke...Trump cleaned his clock in the 2018 Senate races, and Schumer is filled with venom because of it. Schumer calls Trump's actions "chaos". I call call them victories..lower taxes, higher pay, more jobs, lower unemployment, businesses returning, industries saved, coerced healthcare eliminated, world respect regained, military proud again, crippling regulations removed, stronger judges installed, and American soldiers bodies returned, ...what's disappointing is that Schumer had no part in these happening...well, not unless you consider obstructionism a contribution.

Online headline: "Zaxby’s Super Bowl Ad Mocked Chick-fil-A for Closing Sundays and it Backfired" -- "May have backfired?" It should be called a "drive-thru shooting of one's own ass"

 

After seeing the Zaxby's Super Bowl ad pooh-pooh Chick -fil-A's policy for staying closed on Super Bowl Sunday as well as every other Sunday, our family will no longer patronize Zaxby's on Sundays. I think this is a fair response to Zaxby's snideness. I could suggest a tougher penalty.. Please join us as we need to show mockery of Christian values is not acceptable.

From the "I'm mortified.. and I'm a man" department - Online headline/story: "Are You a Woman Traveling Alone? Marriott Might Be Watching You. * When a tweet accused Marriott Hotels of "working with the feds and keeping [an] eye on any women who are traveling alone," training staff to "spot an escort," and "not allowing some women [to] drink at the bar alone," Marriott's official account proudly confirmed the observation: "You are correct. Marriott employees all over the world are being trained to help spot sex trafficking at our hotels. * it also hinted the world's largest hotel chain considers all unaccompanied women to be worth monitoring—or, at the very least, that there's confusion about this among staff." -- I was already removing Marriott from my travel destinations as Marriott doesn't serve Coca Cola products (even in Atlanta), and now are charging me $5.00 to park in their uncovered, unattended, open parking lots.. oh.. and don't forget we get shorted an egg or two because they serve only a "two-egg omelet".

HuffPOOPOO headline/story: "Nicolle Wallace Drops ‘Truth Bomb’ On Trump After Secret White House Memo Leaks * MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said leaked White House scheduling memos reveal the truth about what President Donald Trump does all day. * “The truth bomb has been detonated,” Wallace said on Monday. “Donald Trump doesn’t do much of anything as president.” -- Good grief...a HuffPOOPOO story about a MSNBC "truth bomb". It's really a question of "How far from the truth does a HuffPOOPOO/MSNBC "fact" land?

From the "it looks like it's an inside job" department -- Online headline: "Justin Fairfax accuser hires law firm that represented Christine Blasey Ford" -- Well, well, well.. how ironic.. suspicious.. is it that Fairfax's accuser could get a Democrat attorney to handle her case against a Democrat? Don't you love it when liberals eat their own!

Online headline/story: "Jussie Smollett case: New surveillance cameras, footage found, police say * The report also says that Smollett initially did not want to report the alleged attack, but his manager did so because "he believed it to be in the best interest."" -- Hmmm.. still none that show an part of an attack on him,, my suspicion of a Tawana Brawley episode still stands as it sounds like how Al Sharlatan promoted her for publicity.. And, you know, the fact that Smollet says those two men "KNEW" who he was is suspect as well.. I really doubt men like the ones he described are fans of his show. I will apologize... should.. when.. facts emerge confirming his story.

Online story: "Senate Democrats on Monday blocked a GOP effort to introduce a bill meant to protect abortion survivors, which came in response to comments last week by Virginia Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam that seemingly endorsed post-birth abortions in certain cases. * Nebraska Republican Sen. Ben Sasse sought unanimous consent to pass the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which would have required that "any health care practitioner present" at the time of a birth "exercise the same degree of professional skill, care, and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as a reasonably diligent and conscientious health care practitioner would render to any other child born alive at the same gestational age." -- You know.. this isn't about making the barbaric "partial-birth-abortion" illegal, this is about killing a baby human being AFTER he/she SURVIVES all the efforts to kill him/her prior to birth.. This was no "stunt".. This is about stopping FIRST DEGREE MURDER!

 

---
From the "Jon Lovitz: Yeah, that's the ticket!" department - Online headline: "NBC News panel blames Trump for Gov. Ralph Northam’s blackface scandal" -- You know,, NBC must have got this idea off an Alec Baldwin/Saturday Night Live skit, and reported it as news/facts. Well, Saturday Night Live IS a NBC program... and has better ratings that NBC News..

Our criminal system reached a new low yesterday... the @-hole nurse who impregnated a comatose woman in an Arizona care facility.. in spite of being identified by the baby's DNA,, had his lawyer enter a "not-guilty" plea. You know, we better pray that his lawyer doesn't find enough "Climate Changers" in the jury pool who will find him "innocent".. We already know they could care less for scientific facts.

From the "triple-backfire" department - Online headline: "Congresswomen wear white to 2019 State of the Union to send Trump a 'message loud and clear" -- Hmmm First, it appeared they were simply PeLOUSY clones... secondly, their individual voices became muted. and third, they enhanced the presentation of Trump's facts about how his administration has elevated women in the workplace and their unified "USA USA USA" chant.

M/C L-E headline/story: "McIlroy initiates ‘GolfPass’ program for fans * McIlroy on Tuesday launched “GolfPass,” a direct-to-consumer subscription program that will deliver more than just exclusive content from the four-time major champion. The idea is to get customers more involved by using the vast resources at NBC Sports Group with tee times, instruction, its video library, travel and shopping. * GolfPass costs $9.99 a month or $99 a year" -- Hmmm... just $99.00 annually to get more McIlroy than I could ever want.. Hmmm.. I believe I'll just keep my $99.00 and just not listen to him for FREE!

I would have loved playing golf with President Trump, Tiger Woods, and Jack Nicklaus and made it a foursome.. Just think about it.. playing golf with the best President of our lifetime, and the winners of 32 Majors!

Seems like the rally cry for 2020 Democrats will be "MediCare for All".. not because it's a good idea for America, but it replaces having to explain the failure of ObamaCRAP and Trump's defeat of it by eliminating the "fine" for NOT buying it.'

 

---
Talk about sick..... Apparently, the Democrat Party in Virginia knew their candidate, Northam, was racist...they knew about his Michael Jackson Halloween antics, and were more than aware that Northam removed a picture of his Lt Governor running mate from a political mailing. Why do blacks.. heck, whites for that matter.. feel they owe allegiance to Democrats?

 

---
From the "Bias? How about huge bias!" Department - Good grief...the WaPo says it didn't run the sexual allegations brought up about VA's Lt Governor Fairfax's sexual aggression at the 2004 DNC Convention because the WaPo didn't find supportive/collaborative confirmation..BS! It was about a Democrat, and not finding such confirmations about Trump and Kavanaugh surely didn't slow down the WaPo's rush to judgment and public hanging without a jury conviction! Oh.. by the way.. Lt. Gov. Fairfax.. I BELIEVE HER! Come to the plate, #MeToo!

 

---
What is it with DNC Conventions? Now allegations are revisited concerning the aggression's of current VA Lt Governor Fairfax at the 2004 Convention, and ironically Jehmu Greene was defending him on Fox News, yet it was Jehmu Greene who leveled the same charges against Columbus, GA's State Rep Calvin Smyre at the 1996 DNC Convention.

 

---
It really could get interesting in Virginia..the Gov and Lt Gov are both under pressure to resign, and if that happens, the President pro temper of the Senate is next in line...and that will be a Republican.

While we're being bombarded by Mueller claims and subpoenas about anyone every associated with President Trump.. let us not forget about Antoin "Tony" Rezko.. Rezko did serve some time for his dealing with convicted Shicago Mayor Rob Blagojevich but that was a convenient way to get Rezko out of the Obama headlines in 2008.. nor should we allow Obama relationships with Charles Ogletree and Cornel West drop out of reality.. Oh, and who can forget Obama's longtime religious influence..Reverend Jeremiah "G** D*** America" Wright, or Bill Ayers/Bernardine Dohrn combo plus their buddy Dr. Quentin Young. Likewise for the likes of other Socialist-Democrats such as Alice Palmer, Saul Mendelson, Douglas Cassel, Cathy Cohen, Salim Muwakkil, or Barbara Ransby. Oh. and how about PowerPAC.org, another Socialist-Democrat political action committee that backed Obama then, and lately heavily supported Joel Ossoff in GA Congressional District 6 and Stacey Abrams in GA Gubernatorial races. And then there's Sayed Hassan AlQazwini. Then there's the aforementioned Rob Blagojevich (who also was convicted along with Rezko), or George Soros and his family! Obama is one of only a handful of candidates to get a personal contribution from George Soros. The others include Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.), Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), Bob Graham (D-Fla.), John Kerry (D-Mass.), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), U.S. Rep. Tom Lantos, and former Vermont governor Howard Dean. Where was Mueller then?

Did I miss it? The press conference called by Senator Elizabeth Warren. D-MA, to announce that she, like President Trump, fully support the New England Patriots? Wonder if any of the Massachusetts Congressional representatives have asked Trump for a White House invitation for the traditional celebratory visit/meal?

Here's an interesting "Poll" question CNN should put out there: "Were you against the Wall when PeLOUSY and Schumer were for it?

A divisive group of Politicians will be present tonight for the SOTU speech by President Trump. Patriots understand that SOTU stands for the "State of the Union" speech..Democrats use the Clinton definition: "Sitting, Obviously and Totally Useless."

From the "Yes!" department - Online story: " (attorney Todd ) McMurtry, of the Hemmer DeFrank Wessels law firm in Ft. Mitchell, Kentucky, is part of the legal team representing Nick Sandmann, the Kentucky teenager vilified online after a viral video widely misrepresented him allegedly harassing a Native American man following a pro-life demonstration on Jan. 18 at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. * Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., actors Alyssa Milano and Jim Carey, media organizations CNN, the New York Times and the Washington Post and the Diocese of Covington were among the dozens recently sent preservation letters, the text of which advised the parties not to destroy any documents in connection with the case. The Cincinnati Inquirer first reported on Friday the initial list of organizations, and attorney Todd McMurtry confirmed to Fox News on Monday that more organizations or individuals could also receive letters." -- Yes.. and "malice", THE important aspect of media lawsuits, should be easily proven as media continued to run the falsity of the story AFTER the truth became exposed.

I'm including this web URL to see for yourself. The ducks are provided FREE to all the children cancer patients, but cost about $200.00 bucks each.. I've written an AFLAC official to get an address that we can send such a donation to.. honor a child you know.. with or without cancer.. with a donation.. Will provide the address as soon as I get one.

From the "now it makes sense" department - Online headline/story: "Nancy Pelosi Keeps Quoting Her Favorite Bible Verse. The Mystery: It’s Not Actually in the Bible. * Nancy Pelosi addressed a gathering of presidents of Christian colleges this week in Washington, where she thanked the evangelical community for its leadership on immigration and refugee policy reform. To this end, the speaker of the House quoted a favorite bit of biblical wisdom in her opening statement: “To minister to the needs of God’s creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us.” * “I can’t find it in the Bible, but I quote it all the time,” Pelosi said as she introduced the quote. “I keep reading and reading the Bible—I know it’s there someplace. It’s supposed to be in Isaiah. I heard a bishop say, ‘To minister to the needs of God’s creation … ’ ” * To clarify: It is not “there someplace.” * “The Pelosi passage is not in the Bible,” Will Kynes, an associate professor of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament at Whitworth University, * The closest analog he could find was Proverbs 14:31, which switches the order of the two main ideas and focuses specifically on the poor: “Those who oppress the poor insult their Maker, but those who are kind to the needy honor him.” Greg MaGee, an associate professor of biblical studies at Taylor University, independently suggested the same verse as the closest approximation of the sentiment in Pelosi’s version." -- You know.. if PeLOUSY's goal is to help the poor, her actions blaspheme God.. the poor do not benefit when those who can actually provide relief are oppressed and suppressed. Build the wall.. and give her a copy of the REAL Bible.

Online headline/story: "Man accused of raping three children in a week was released on bail twice by same judge * A New Mexico man accused of raping three children in a week and sexually assaulting his own 13-year-old daughter was released on bail twice by the same judge before being arrested a third time on Monday after a statewide manhunt. * Raymond Hernandez, 29, was first taken into custody on January 15 after allegedly raping a teenage girl and beating her friend. Judge Ernest Ortega released him on a $10,000 bond." -- What an absolute judicial failure!!! If Judge Ortega has minor family members..relatives, even, this @-hole should be incarcerated in the judge's home! What we need is for Judge Ortega to be strapped down naked to a bench anchored to the floor of a men's prison shower room for a month or so!

The Boycott lives!

Wiegand “The Desegregation of Public Libraries in the Jim Crow South,” will give a presentation." -- Wait a minute.. wasn't a new mural at the Terry Library recently unveiled? One depicting the lacks who were instrumental in advancement of this cause.. it was also a mural that denied showing the highly involved whites who also championed this cause.

 

It's 5:14 AM EST on February 4th... I just learned that the Pats beat the Rams.. I may be the last person (other than my bride and granddaughter... well, possibly one of my daughters and her new husband may not since they are on their honeymoon out of the country) to know this. He.. Betcha the Patriots are looking forward to visiting President Trump in the White House!

Henry) Cuellar told host Chris Wallace, referring to walls as a "14th-century" solution.
"Enhanced barrier?"...but not a 'wall'? I can't wait to hear Bill Clinton define "barrier" without using 'wall'. But about this 14th Century aspect.. Good grief..what Century are the Democrats living in... the 13th.. and just have no vision?

From the "Chester A. Riley: What a revolting development this turned out to be" department - Online headline/story: "Virginia governor's 1984 yearbook page shows racist imagery * Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam's page in his 1984 medical school yearbook contains a photo of a person in blackface and another wearing a Ku Klux Klan hood next to different pictures of the governor. * The revelation of the photographs prompted some Republicans to call for his resignation Friday. Northam quickly apologized." -- Take note of two important aspects...First, the Governor wasn't in high school.. not even college, but in medical school, so this was not a teenage "lack of discernment" moment. and secondly, Republicans.. and as of Friday evening, without any confirmation from Democrats, called for his resignation. Now ask your self.. especially if you are a Democrat, when has a Republican's apology every been acceptable to MSM-13?

 

---
Online headline: "Elizabeth Warren apologizes to Cherokee Nation over DNA test flap" -- Hmmm.. well, that IS a good start. but what about the apologies to Harvard (and all the applicants who didn't get that job position), the people of Massachusetts, the US Senate, and to the beer manufacturer she slurred with her YouTube farce? Oh.. and isn't there some sort of "Native American stolen valor" crime she should be held accountable for.. or at least on fraud?

Obviously, Farrakhan did not... does not.. share Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's "Dream".

Online story: "Two Georgia Democrats are planning to skip President Trump's State of the Union address next week. * The offices of Reps. John Lewis and Hank Johnson confirmed to The Hill Thursday that they would not be in attendance on Feb. 5." -- You know, I do not blame then.. imagine.. having to sit there, silently.. head down and obedient.. until PeLOUSY tells them when they can stand or clap or cheer when President Trump talks about great things that are happening or introduces ordinary American heroes. Hmmm... is this 2019, or 1859?

Let's help her get re-elected to Congress in 2020,, we do not want her to be forgotten as to what the Democrats have become.

 

---
How gullible...no, how stupid..that's the only word that really fits...are Democrat voters...Governor Northam apologized during the week, then revoked that apology on Saturday..the explanation he gave was now he isn't sure if he's actually in that picture..Well, I guess he means he knows was in another similar one other than this one because there wouldn't have been any NEED to apologize except for guilt. Update: Democrats have joined Republicans calling for his resignation!

Here's this week's Veterans Parkway Eyesore: You know.. this is an awful impression for citizens and visitors alike.. driving South Veterans to pass through or find the Downton District.. or perhaps mournfully heading to the Amos Cancer Center with a loved one..Port-a-potties galore.. and garbage trucks as far as the eye can see...I guess it wouldn't be too hard to conceive of Columbus having so much "stuff" it has to be hauled off.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Let me know if I'm wrong, but you know, when I see a RED Curbs,, or RED Lines marking off a vehicle access area, I understand them to be designated areas that only Fire Trucks are suppose use. Especially in Downtown area where old warehouse, office and educational buildings are the primary structures that are difficult for fire fighting equipment to access. Maybe some one from the City should remind our businesses.

--------------------------------------------
Oh.. anyone have an idea of how much revenue the City received from the Whitewater Rafting franchise in 2018? How about in Phenix City?

Guess we down to two nagging questions (3, if you wonder where Zeph lives) for 2018... We haven't gotten Zeph Baker's Campaign Financial Disclosures, and we still don't know the extent of the damages/costs of ex-Mayor Tom-LYING-son's fender-bender..

Trump hit the nail on the head when he pointed out how Ed Gillespie would have won by 20 points if his "research" committee had done due diligence about Northam's Medical School annual picture.

From the "don't you love it when liberals eat their own?" department - Online headline: "Bill Maher under fire after making fried chicken joke to black congressman Will Hurd" -- Wow! Libs usually get a pass when they make a racist comment to/about a Republican..

 

---
From the "Bias? What Bias?" department - Online headline: "CNN gets roasted for falsely labeling Va Gov. Northam a REPUBLICAN amid racist yearbook photo scandal" -- Even the most resistant liberal cannot deny that CNN intentionally.. maybe even PREFERS.... is producing "fake news"!

Saw the WaPo ad that was run during the Super Bowl on a news feed this Monday morning.. true to form, the WaPo continued it's presentation of "half-truths": "Knowing Empowers".."Knowing helps us decide"..."Knowing keeps us free".."Democracy dies in darkness". You know what.. the WaPo left out two words.. two big words.. "the Truth".. Knowing the TRUTH empowers; knowing the Truth helps us decide; Knowing the Truth keeps us free. Yes, WaPO.. darkness does kill Democracy, but there is nothing darker than a half-truth!

From the "Speaking of "half-truths" department - M/C L-E headline/story: " THE EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT * A bill that would make Georgia the 38th state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment had life injected into it Wednesday when it gained several Republican co-signers in the Senate. * But the idea has long languished in the GOP controlled legislature and some Republicans remain opposed." -- You know, the Equal Rights Amendment was proposed and presented for ratification by 38 states in March of 1972.. and the states had 7 years to vote for ii, so what GA does now has no bearing on it being ad to the I}U S Constitution, but the TRUTH is that from 1972 to 1979, the Governors of GA were DEMOCRATS Carter and Busbee, and both the Senate and House had OVERWHELMING super-majorities of DEMOCRATS!

From the "have I got some wonderful speculative land to sell you surrounded by the Okefenokee Swamp" department - Online headline/story: "ISIS could reclaim land in 6 to 12 months without military pressure, warns Pentagon draft report * NBC News * COURTNEY KUBE AND JOSH LEDERMAN AND CAROL E. LEE AND ABIGAIL WILLIAMS * The finding is in a draft of the Department of Defense Inspector General Quarterly Report about Operation Inherent Resolve that is expected to be released early next week. The report draws on information from the U.S. military, U.S. government agencies, and open source reports." -- Seriously? A "draft" of a Pentagon report just happens to fall in the hands of 4 MSM-13 "flake journalists"? They really must feel they have a "scoop".. yeah.. a "scoop" out of a litter box...

Did I see/hear that the LA Rams has male cheerleaders? Good grief! Of course in this litigious country, I can see a savvy lawyer bringing a gender-bias/discrimination suit against the LA Ram's owner... in fact, two such possible suits. The women can sue that they have to wear skimpy outfits while the guys have full coverage outfits... and the guys can sue on the basis that they don't get to wear skimpy shorts and go-go boots. Either way, though, I will not be able to be a witness in court.. I'm not watching...

 

---
From the "do you remember Tawana Brawley?" department - There may have been another MSM-13 "rush to judgment" story.. this time concerning the story Jussie Smollett reported...I certainly don't approve of hate crimes.. but so far Shicago police cannot find confirming video along the path Smollett took that night, and a publicity stunt like this is certainly not without precedence. Will follow and either update.. or apologize should evidence come out confirming Smollett's plight.

From the "reform our citizenship laws as well" department - Online story: "Federal authorities charged 19 people on Thursday in the first crackdown on birth tourism businesses, which prosecutors say bring hundreds of pregnant women from China to the United States. * business was called “You Win USA,” which coached pregnant Chinese women on how to get into the United States to deliver babies. Those infants would then enjoy all the benefits of American citizenship. Over two years, she raked in millions through her business, where mothers-to-be paid between $40,000 and $80,000 each to come to California, stay in an upscale apartment and give birth, authorities said." -- Good grief! It looks like the US needs to have a waver signed by any pregnant woman coming into the US (unless currently a US citizen, currently married to a US citizen.. or having attained US citizenship via existing programs.

You know, if I was a Democrat, I might understand why MSM-23 and PeLOUSY and Schumer are so angry at Trump. What's he done for me ? My paychecks are bigger, my taxes are lower, my 401K has soared, every body in my family who wants a job has one, he's trying to eliminate easy access of illegal aliens and drug dealers, I can buy American manufactured goods again, he's made great new trade deals with Mexico and Canada, and the Pacific Rim , re=established Jerusalem as Israel's capital, he's cracked down on unfair prison sentences, eliminated the fine for not buying bad insurance, re-opened the coal industry, gotten rid of many business crippling regulations, gotten North Korea to help return bodies of MIAs to their families here, made us the leading producer of oil again, has China sweating bullets on trade....yeah, I should hate a successful patriot like that.... NOT! You know, if I was a Democrat, I should be kicking myself for supporting Hellary, PeLOUSY, and Schumer.

From the "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice... " department - Online headline: "Augusta Democrats looking forward to Stacey Abrams’ rebuttal of Trump" -- Good grief! Abrams couldn't handle Kemp, and the only reason the Democrat's offered this spot to her, is that after comedy team of Schumer&PeLOUSY came across as "Deer in the headlight" following Trump's last TV talk with America, no other Democrat wanted to follow Trump's SOTU.

 

Think about this.. PeLOUSY could have picked Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.. or even Elizabeth Warren GA or Kamala Harris. or, heaven forbid, Hellary or Biden, but she pawned it off on a former GA state representative and failed gubernatorial candidate to lessen more National damage before 2020.

You know, all those governors who are signing into law bills that approve "partial birth abortions" are setting themselves up for huge gender-bias lawsuits.. I'm not sure if everyone knows the procedure for these, but it involved turning the baby around in the womb then extracting the baby by it's feet until only the head is left in the mother, then killing the baby with an injection or probe into the brain. Well, since the Doctor will be staring at the baby in a way that it's physical gender is obviously known, I'm waiting for the first "gender-cide" suit to be filed.

 

---
You what the new Virginia and NY post-birth abortion laws mean, don't you? It means that girls who have unwanted babies will be breaking no laws if they dump their newborns into bathroom trash cans, or put them in a cooler and leave on the curb for garbage trucks to pick up.

From the "now MSM-13 cheers" department - M/C L-E story: "Three European countries working to preserve a deal that was meant to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon have established a new system so their companies can continue trading with the Mideast nation without incurring U.S. sanctions, diplomats said Thursday. * The barter-type system set up by France, Germany and Britain is designed to allow businesses they host to skirt direct financial transactions with Iran and thereby evade possible U.S. sanctions, setting up a potential collision with President Donald Trump’s hard-line policies on Tehran." -- Good grief! England and France,, which would be speaking German now except for the US saving their butts in WWII, have allied themselves WITH Germany working against the US..with allies like this, who needs enemies!

M/C L-E headline: "24-Hour Libraries: The new way for residents to borrow books and DVDs" -- Not having used my library card in a number of years, I do hope some sort of security/PIN system has been added to prevent fraud but another question came to mind.. I haven't seen any followup stories/reports of the success of.. or even standing of.. the "Free Little Libraries" program funded by "Together 2016/2017".. How about a followup L-E since y'all were so involved in it?

You know, since the swimming program/facilities are in rather dire circumstances, has any Councilor spoken up to voice concern that the "Swimming Authority?" wanted to cut back monthly meetings to bi-monthly meeting? Like I said when the idea was first presented, only struggling committees try to solve problems/u]issues by avoiding them.

 

---
M/C L-E headline: "Columbus man with 7th DUI pleads in crash that killed veteran" -- As Elizabeth Barrett Browning might ask, "How many times have I interjected that after a second DUI, the car of the driver should be confiscated,, even if it belongs to someone else who made it available?" Liberals harp on better gun control laws, but not on laws keeping recidivist drunks from having a driver's license or being able to own a car. Hey, why doesn't the family file a "wrongful death' suit against Sen Diane Feinstein since she';s the leading "we need a m[new law" every time someone is killed by a gun... well, not every time.. she seems to lose her voice if the shooter is an illegal alien in a sanctuary state/city.

M/C L-E headline/story: "Alabama’s Medicaid agency says it needs less money for 2020 * News outlets reported Medicaid Commissioner Stephanie Azar told state lawmakers Wednesday that Medicaid is asking for $715 million for the coming year. That’s $40 million less than the current year. * Azar said it has about $106 million to take into the 2020 budget year, avoiding the need for extra money next year while still meeting the $821 million that will be needed." -- While this is a refreshing step to see, the real question is why the budget is at $821 MILLION if obviously that that much was not needed last year?

Hmmm.. the way the Dems have treated Howard Schultz since he said he would run as an independent could have devastating results in 2020.. billionaires who have backed uber-liberals are seeing what will happen if they speak up and offer advice that has made them successful, and none of them want that kind of MSM-13 backlash.
