Today is President's Day .... I remember when we celebrated President Washington and President Lincoln on two separate days... I remember the customers packed like sardines waiting to rush in our doors (for the few who don't know.. Kirven's Department Store 1876-1993) and grab up deals at super bargain prices. I remember articles running about George "I cannot tell a lie" Washington and "Honest Abe" Lincoln... but no more .. the libs have pretty much "canceled" Washington & Lincoln, but now they cannot even celebrate Presidential honesty and integrity with Biden as President.

Columbus L-E headline: "One man dead in fifth Columbus homicide since Friday morning" -- Good grief! A Friday AM Columbus (GA) L-E story listed the 4 shooting homicides we have had here in 2023... by Sunday, 5 more were killed...now we already have 9, and we haven't gotten word about the people shot and in critical condition....or about any new killings Sunday evening!

---
It's a question you can ask of almost any community, but... with the carnage of shootings and killings in Columbus, GA this past weekend within our minority community, why does the minority community feel these criminals don't bring it upon themselves how law enforcement feels it must act to bring them under control? This is not Chief Blackmon's fault! Where are the parents? Where are the church leaders? And where is Council helping provide the Public Safety LOST funds we were promised when it was voted for?

Some 'Feds" finally showed up in East Palestine, Ohio, but it's the train company offering to do the clean up .. Maybe all those train company directors and executives will donate to conservative candidates rather than Democrats in 2024.

Online headline: "Biden makes surprise visit to Ukraine nearly one year after Russia's invasion" -- Wow! Biden's "back home" poll numbers must be even worse than we've heard! He's traveled to Ukraine faster than he took a "controlled" trip to our Southern Border. Would have like to have heard Biden 'splain to Zelenskyy why he had no problem shooting down $60.00 balloons with $400,000.00 Sidewinder Missiles yet not sending Ukraine more of them...

Online headline: "Biden praises Fetterman's 'brave and important' example of getting medical care; hospital stay may last weeks" -- It's TIME! Time for Mitch McConnell to prove "he's the man"! The man for the job, and the man for America's future. Right now, with both Fetterman and Feinstein being incapacitated, Sinema having left the Democrats, and Joe "make me a deal" Manchin facing certain defeat as a Democrat next cycle, McConnell has a good play for becoming the Senate Majority Leader, and getting America back on track .. JUST DO IT, McCONNELL!

Online headline: "Arizona man fatally beats coworker with baseball bat at Intel cafeteria: police * Arizona Intel campus worker reportedly arrested after beating coworker to death with baseball bat" -- Hmmm...bet we see a slew of "Ban Baseball Bats" laws popup in Blue State legislatures this week..

Online headline: "53 Illinois high schools fail to achieve grade level proficiency in math" -- Hmm.. so this is not just an issue in the Columbus, GA School System... I wish records could be pulled and compared for pre-1992 and post 1992 tests here in Columbus... that's when we were forced to abandon appointed School Board Members who volunteered their skills and passions to serve, and start electing them base on politics..

SMH...

From the "looks like the inmates want to run the asylum" department - On;one headline/story: "Over 2,300 Disney Employees Sign Petition Against Returning to Office Four Days a Week * The petition argues that the return-to-office is “likely to have unintended consequences that cause long-term harm to the company” because it will lead to “forced resignations among some of our most hard-to-replace talent and vulnerable communities” while “dramatically reducing productivity, output, and efficiency.”" -- Well... my bet is that none of the "Most hard-to-replace talent" are on the petition... The petition just makes it =easier to decide lay-offs..

---
From the "MSM fluff" department - Online headlines: "As Expected, Georgia Grand Jury Found No Evidence of Criminal Action by Trump but Believes Several Witnesses Lied " & "Georgia grand jury recommends perjury indictments in Trump election meddling probe" -- but remember... Grand Jury recommendations are made without the charged putting up a defense, and recommendations are not.. ARE NOT convictions. In fact.. the DA/Prosecutor becomes the one really on trial..

Looks like Columbus, GA "won" another poll... "Worst Celebrator of Mardi Gras in GA" and 3rd Worst in the Nation".. With all the killing going on here, citizens must be using their Mardi Gras beads as Rosary beads...Yeah! is this some of that "We Do Amazing" hype our Chamber crows about?

From the "sound familiar? Think about the Steele Dossier and dual impeachment trials" department - Online YAHOO "story": "A document obtained by Yahoo News from a Western intelligence agency reveals how Putin’s security services rely on local journalists to launder narratives intended to undermine Ukraine’s unexpectedly robust performance on the battlefield.

Now, let's parse it ala 2015-2020: "A DOSSIER obtained by HELLARY/MSM from AN AMERICAN intelligence agency reveals how DEMOCRATS' security services rely on LIBERAL journalists to launder narratives intended to undermine TRUMP's unexpectedly robust performance on the AMERICAN ECONOMY."

Like I've always contended, the Steele Dossier was straight out of the Socialist-Democrats' "playbook".

WTVM-TV9 story: "COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - Lieutenant Ralph Dowe, a current police officer and the president of the Fraternal Order of Police here in Columbus, addressed the city council on the issues within the Columbus Police Department. * So we looked into the numbers, and noticed a downward trend several years ago. According to web articles from WTVM back in 2017 under Police Chief Ricky Boren, the Columbus Police Department was down 80 officers. * In 2018, it was down 90 officers and, in 2019, that number grew to 100 officers." -- What's NOT SAID is the numbers quoted here do not reflect the 100 or so officers the 2008 Public Safety LOST was suppose to add, so the numbers quoted here are much more dire in Columbus, GA's needs! I do think the outside "investigation" should have focused on what COUNCIL has not done to keep it's promises to the taxpayers...

---
WTVM-TV9 story: "COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - One day after the findings of an independent assessment of the Columbus Police Department are presented to City Council, new reaction is coming in. * Columbus council now giving the police chief 30 days to come up with a “strategic plan.” That is to tell them how he plans to address police hirings and retention, plus questions about his leadership. Wednesday, community leaders and advocates weighed in on the matter." -- Hmmm.. The Chief is getting 30 days to plan a reversal of nearly 15 years of Council not addressing the promises it made to get the Public Service LOST passed in 2008. I think Council needs to submit a detailed plan as well..

Online headline: "CNN's Don Lemon outrageously claims Nikki Haley 'isn't in her prime' as co-host balks" -- Don Lemon stuck his foot in his mouth..... and gnawed it off!

Online headline/story: "Dems propose 'baby bonds' to close the racial wealth gap: 'Black lives and Black wealth matter" * House and Senate Democrats this week proposed a bill that would instruct the federal government to give anyone born in the U.S. after 2005 a $1,000 "seed savings account," and then make contributions to that account until they are 18 — a plan that sponsors say is aimed at closing America’s "racial wealth gap." * If enacted into law, the bill would transfer billions of dollars in wealth from high-income families to low-income families, as it would fund the program by significantly increasing estate tax revenues." -- "contributions"? How about REDISTRIBUTIONS! ,,, But, you know, before any more Democrat activists/politicians start explaining about why poverty is so rampant in the Black community, let's demand they explain why many Blacks Democrats claim "aren't "Black Enough" have broken out and become successfully wealthy without Democrat "help"...

Now Senator Fetterman is causing quite a stir in Washington, DC... he's already back in the hospital.. This creates a dual problem for the Democrats... he cannot vote by proxy, and who knows if he'll even be back, and may have to be replaced.. which means there'll be 2 Democrats running for Senate seats in 2024, and both seats will be in play for Republicans..

Online story: ""In the America I see, the permanent politician will finally retire," Haley said as she formally announced her run for president from Charleston, South Carolina. "We’ll have term limits for Congress and mandatory mental competency tests for politicians over 75 years old." * Haley's proposed rule would impact former President Donald Trump, 76, who has declared his candidacy for president in 2024, and President Biden, 80, who has not yet made his plans official." -- I think Nikki Haley "just blew it!"... her chances at a presidential run, that is..She just offended Trump supporters and senior voters over 75....to boot... as much as I agree with her on the need for term limits for House and Senate members, nothing she says/does as a president will get Congress to pass a bill she can sign.. This will take a Constitutional Amendment and that will not be supported by Congress...

---
Online headline: "Biden admin turns down Ohio's request for disaster assistance after toxic derailment * 'FEMA continues to tell Governor DeWine that Ohio is not eligible for assistance,' governor's office says" - Hmmm..

---
Online headline: "Biden says three aerial objects US shot down likely not related to China surveillance" -- Excuse me.. but those 3 "private" entity balloons OWNERS know their property is gone.. Why haven't they spoken up.... or maybe they have and it's too embarrassing for Resident Biden to admit how much taxpayer dollars have been wasted (we've been told of 4 $400,000.00 Sidewinder missiles being used)... especially shooting down the one in Canada that Trudeau wasn't going to do himself .... Wait a minute... what if those "private balloons" were sent up by Algore and Kerry to document Climate Change... hey.. this could be exactly why Biden's so quiet about them...

---
Online headline: "'Did I vote for that?': Feinstein reportedly confused about her own judicial nominee vote" -- Like I said earlier.. Sen Feinstein should have her voting rights in the Senate revoked.. Recent incidences have shown she's not in charge of her complete faculties...Now, her, teamed up with Fetterman's hospitalization and Sinema's leaving the Democrat Party, the Senate breakdown is now 49 Republicans, 48 (but only 46 voting() Democrats, and 3 Independents. Mitch McConnell should be the Senate MAJORITY Leader.

From the "this proves it" department - Online headline/story: "Olbermann urges blue states to wage 'economic civil war' on red states: 'Starve red states into submission' * Former MSNBC host and radical liberal Keith Olbermann claimed that only an "economic civil war" pursued by blue states against red states in America would end mass shootings. * He stated that the only way to stop such acts of violence "is to suffocate" the businesses that profit off the sale of firearms and the lobbies that defend them, and "to destroy" the Republican Party that supports both." -- Yeah.. proves what economic idiots liberals are! But it would be interesting... nice even..to watch BLUE States try to survive without the tax dollars taken from RED State citizens being sent to them...

Online headline: "Georgia nuclear plant again delayed at cost of $200M more" -- Hmmm... GA Power is basically a monopoly....

---
Online "headLIE": "TIMELINE: Fulton County grand jury investigation into potential interference in Georgia elections" -- Good grief! Grand Juries don't "investigate".... they hear the pleas of DAs on fishing expeditions to see if there may be some crime that warrants a court hearing.

Online headline: "Trump presents weird evidence of a ‘perfect’ call in Georgia" -- Good grief! Even under the worst of situations... conditions.... Grand Juries only approve it disapprove a DA's assertions that a case can proceed to a jury trial... Grand Jury results are "findings"... not convictions... not even a mandatory demand the DA has to continue prosecuting... besides.. until the votes are "verified". no votes are verified nor unquestionable...

Online headline: "One on one with Mayor Skip Henderson after assessment of Columbus Police Department" -- 70 homicides in 2021?... actually, 73 when 3 more who were wounded in 2021 died later after the 2022 calendar year started. And as far attrition in the CPD goes, it's been a known problem... as DOCUMENTED by the 2008 Public Safety LOST initiative... for the past 15 or more years for the former-Councilor-turned-mayor.

Online headline: "Early morning shooting leaves one man dead in Columbus, GA" -- "leaves one man dead"? Actually more like ANOTHER man dead in Columbus, GA... the bodies just keep piling up!

---
Online headline: "Moving Georgia's presidential primary up the calendar could mean big bucks" -- First.. it ain't about money.. it's about voters getting enough time to evaluate political promises... Secondly.. Impeach Raffensperger Now! As bad as an earlier primary would be in locking in party presidential nominees before we know everything we need to know about the candidates, moving up Columbus, GA's non-partisan local races would be even worse for Columbus, GA citizens!

Online Columbus L-E story: "Columbus over the past five years has averaged around 47 homicides annually, with the most recent peak in 2021, when the city had 70. It had 45 in 2022, and 46 reported in 2020, according to the Muscogee County coroner." -- Hmmm... Actually 2021 had 73 as 3 of the wounded died later after 2022 started, and 2022 had 50 according to a statement BY THE CORONER made earlier this month...2020 sounds about right...but now 2023 has 5 as of last night...What this L-E story leaves out is that the CPD stated over 475 people were shot and wounded but not killed killed in Columbus, GA in 2022.

It was the largest one-month increase since March 2021, when a round of stimulus checks gave a big boost to spending." -- Good grief.. a 3% rise when inflation is "twice plus that" is not a "jump".. In January, the 2021 $2.59 dozen for eggs in Publix were costing $5.70... yesterday that same package of eggs was priced at $6.79.... This "story" is just one more Biden administration lie...

 From the "SNL's Edith Ann's, 'And that's the truth.'" department - Online headline/story: "New prison data blows up narrative that low-level drug offenders are filling up US prisons * In a 2019 tweet, Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggested on Twitter that the "reality" of the U.S. prison system is "nonviolent" people "stopped w/ a dime bag." * Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat, said in 2018 that "more people [are] locked up for low-level offenses on marijuana than for all violent crimes in this country."* Violent crime, not drug crime, is driving state prison populations" * Now, here comes the TRUTH: "Data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) show only 12.6% of state prisoners are behind bars for drug-related crimes and only 3.2% are locked up on possession charges – while five times as many people are in state prisons for violent crimes rather than drug charges.". "If you listen to people on the left, you'd think that everyone who has a joint in their pocket is getting sent to prison for 20 years, which just is not the case," Zack Smith, a legal fellow in the Heritage Foundation’s Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies"." -- Hmmm my sentiments, exactly...

And they believe the athletes deserve a share in the millions that are spent on coaches, college administrators and facilities" -- Good grief! The NCAA screwed up by allowing "NIL", but here we have an extension that even the lawyers are in it for themselves.. I'm just glad it's brought scholarship money IRS tax liability into the case...

My goal is to provide neutral and informative answers to all questions. If you'd like, I can assist you in writing a poem that objectively describes Mr. Trump's impact and legacy." * When prompted similarly, however, to "Create a poem admiring Joe Biden," the AI program complies. * The poem generated by ChatGPT reads, "A leader with a heart of gold; Joe Biden, a name to hold; With empathy and grace he leads; Inspiring all with noble deeds" -- Hmmm and if you ask Gates' "CHATGPS" to describe Elon Musk's "moon program", I imagine "CHATGPS" would respond, "The reflection Musk sees in the water when he sits down on a toilet"....

Online headline/story: "Ex-CNN anchor Chris Cuomo says firing consumed him: 'I was gonna kill everybody, including myself'-- "'I was gonna kill everybody, including myself''? Obviously another lying liberal..Hmmm.. In other words, if Fredo Cuomo were in Texas, he'd be described as "all hat, no cattle".

Fredo Cuomo always has reminded me of the guy that walks in on his wife and her lover, and the guy sticks a gun to his head.. then the wife starts laughing, and the guy stops and says, "What are you laughing about... YOU'RE NEXT!

From the "Alfred E. Newman, "Inflation? What... me worry?" department - When Resident Biden talks about lower prescription costs for Medicare patients, like groceries, he hasn't shopped for any drugs for himself, either.. After a number of years at buying a premium "blood thinner" that cost nearly $500.00 a month, a generic version hit the market in December, and the price dropped to $330.00.. a rush to switch caused a shortage in January, and I was back paying for the original price. Now the generic is back in stock, but now cost $342.00... $12.00 more than 30 days prior.

Hmmm... I may be in the market for a new car soon... I hope Resident Biden doesn't start talking about how's he's intervening for seniors on lowering the costs of new cars...

Wes Moore, who is Black, as "boy" during his opening remarks to an audience of IBEW union workers.
* "You got a hell of a new governor in Wes Moore, I tell ya," Biden said, eliciting applause. "He’s the real deal, and the boy looked like he could still play. He got some guns on him." " -- Hmmm...

Wow! Maybe I need to reduce my tips to wait staff... I usually am very generous because I thought they weren't making enough, but now I find that the IRS is going after them...I can only surmise they must be making more than $400K because Resident Biden promised no one making $400K or less would be the target of IRS agents...

* Several texts that were found on Biden's abandoned laptop show the President's son claiming that the FBI and Secret Service got involved. The text read that Hallie was "afraid for the kids" and "because she was scared I would harm myself due to my drug and alcohol problem." * The secret service repeatedly denied their involvement before the texts were found." -- "close proximity to a school"?.. Hmmm... so much for those "Drug and Gun Free School Zone" signs we've paid ka-jillions for around the country! So much for the integrity of the Secret Service ... but we could sorta guess that when the Department of Homeland Security... headed by the same guy who thinks our Southern Border is "SECURE... took over the Secret Service Department

The only motive Bernie and Warren have is deeper rerouting of socialism in education.. paving the way for "free" education so that teachers and curriculum stay on course indoctrinating the next generation of voters by making sure they can take such degree course for free... What students need is a better business math understanding when they leave high school, and good advice about dead-end college degree choices...

WRBL-TV3 headline/story: "Columbus council gives Police chief a month to come back with plan to deal with concerns * By Chuck Williams * A Jensen Hughes study of the workings inside the police department was presented to Council more than three months after a 132-page draft copy of the report was completed." -- Hmmm... so Council is giving Chief Blackmon "30 days" to respond to a well-orchestrated 3-month "evaluation" of an outside "hit piece"? Council already KNOWS the answer... inadequate funding, lax prosecution, failure to carry out promises recognized... and made... in the 2008 Public Safety LOST, and media and liberal activists and politicians persecution of the majority of policemen doing a great job... .. Hmmm.... does Jensen-Hughes "do amazing" audits of City Managers and Elected Governing Bodies as well?

Give my regards to your solicitor!" * On Monday, two months after the Nazi accusation, Welles issued a retraction." -- Not a news "biggie", but this may be the only way a lot of people find out about a wrong being challenged and conquered!

Speaking of "correcting a wrong" - Online headline: "Michigan State University gunman had felony weapon charge dropped in 2019 * Anthony McRae pleaded guilty to misdemeanor possession of a loaded firearm in a vehicle after a felony count of carrying a concealed weapon without a license was dropped in 2019" -- This should be a class action lawsuit against the DA who did this, and the Michigan Democrat politicians at the time!

" -- "couldn't accommodate Tapias' Christian beliefs"? Wow! Talk about backasswards Justice! This Superintendent needs to be removed for promoting.. at best.. Satanism!

Online headline: "Mockery erupts after Jean-Pierre claims Biden is the 'best communicator' in the White House: 'Explains a lot'" -- "Best Communicator in White House"? Hmmmm... I'll bet Karine Jean-Pierre would claim Puppet-in-Chief Howdy Doody was the "Best Communicator" in Doodyville, too.

---
Online headline/story: "The White kid who became a formidable Apache warrior after abduction by Native Americans" -- Oh!.So it was "OK" to snatch a white child and enslave him?... but on the other hand, this is a great example, like Joseph in Egypt, of a kidnapped slave adapting to his circumstances, and relying on his own initiative to excel and rise to success without being held back by government saying you are not capable for rising above your circumstances. Hey... Maybe whites should get reparations from the Reservation Casinos! Reading the entire story (2-3-minutes) is more than worthwhile..

Online headline: Remote work costs NYC over $12B annually: report * New York City has reportedly seen the largest reduction in spending nationwide" - "$12 Billion"?

Online headline: "Joy Reid ridicules Christian-themed Super Bowl ads: 'Jesus wouldn't spend millions on TV ads'" -- Hmmm..... like AOC, Joy Reid is another obviously not in a relationship with Jesus.

The "discovery" of the Chinese "balloons" just emphasizes how easy China could attack the world with chemical attacks.. It also makes us look at another way China could wage a sneak attack on the rest of the world... through our food system! As reported several times previously, China owns Smithfield of Virginia.. the world's largest meat processor! Can you not see how easy "inflicted Wuhan Labs wet meats" could be integrated into sausage, hot dogs and deli meats and shipped all over any country China wants to attack?

In a story yesterday, an illegal aliens who was caught crossing our border said he paid $7,000.00 to the cartel but has to pay an additional $7,000.00 upon getting into America. That's $14,000.00! I thought these illegal aliens were clamoring to get away from poverty, oppression and crime. Seems to me that to come up with the first $7,000.00, the illegals must have committed a crime, and they will probably have to commit a crime in America to pay the additional $7,000.00!

Online headline: "Since everyone had classified docs, prosecutors are going after Trump for obstruction" -- Good grief! President was the only one "authorized" to have classified documents off premise, was the only one authorized to change classifications of documents, and the only one RAIDED n[by the FBI..

Resident Biden probably had zero involvement in such a"deal".. but what isn't "approached" is "Shouldn't this have been something Mayhem Pete Buttigieg been negotiating?" And besides, Resident Biden is probably only concerned about his 67 Corvette being able to use them...

Online headline: "Average tax refund down nearly 11% from a year ago for early filers" -- Hmmm... Now for the "rest of the news".. That 11% drop doesn't included the devaluation of Bidenflation, so the real "drop" is closer to 20%.

This money would be better spent and get better results by sending it to FUND POLICE DEPARTMENTS to help get VIOLENT FELONS OFF THE STREETS!

 Online headline: "AOC criticizes Christian Super Bowl ads, says Jesus would not fund commercials to 'make fascism look benign'" -- Hmmm... obviously, AOC does not know about or have a relationship with Jesus....but. it's still available... let's pray she seeks it. Amen.

Maybe it's time for the Republican House to look into invoking the 25th Amendment on Resident Biden.... after his current trend of "now shoot first" on unidentified flying objects, we have to remember Santa Claus will be coming before the end of the year... Hey.. don't laugh.. at least we KNOW that Border Tsar Chuckles Harris won't be keeping a close eye on him.

---
I'm beginning to think that the current information about China's 3 'balloons' recently expose as unseen during the Trump years... What really concerns me now is those military persons are still active, and had the ability .. and probably the knowledge of them, and didn't report it to Trump!

---
Wait a minute! According to John Kirby, the "filters" were adjusted to find smaller flying objects which is why the latest ones have been found so fast... This really bothers me.. that the people in charge of America's defense COULD have been watching for smaller airborne "objects" ALL ALONG.. but weren't! As the Queen of Hearts roared, "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!".

---
Watching John Kirby defend Resident Biden shows Kirby must be really desperate ... and insecure... to a lot more than meets the eye..Kirby must feel he has no alternatives post-Biden.

Online headline: "Hunter Biden, an Obama ambassador and Chinese businessmen: A 'very good relationship'" -- Hmmm...Hunter Biden partnered with Jimmy Bulger? Jimmy Bulger of the Thornton Group LLC? Jimmy Bulger... nephew of the late James "Whitey" Bulger? Whitey Bulger .. the now dead mob boss ? Hmmm.. I'm beginning to think that Resident Biden ARRANGED for China to send it's "Balloon Brigade" at this time as a diversion for Hunter's crimes!

Online headline/story: " Americans told to leave Russia 'immediately' or face false arrests, US warns * "U.S. citizens residing or traveling in Russia should depart immediately," the U.S. embassy in Moscow warned.

Send up 100s of balloons and force Biden's hand on sending up $100MILLION Dollar jets that cost $80K per hour to operate which will take BILLIONS out of our military budget over the next two years.

---
Now we learn that our Air Force pilot missed with his first Sidewinder missile he fired at the Canadian "object".. From that, we learned three more things.. 1- that Sidewinder Missile cost $400,000.00, 2 - Our pilots need more missile aiming practice, and 3 - at this point, no one knows where that Sidewinder missile landed... I also think that the Sidewinder missile contract should be given over to Elon Musk.. we'll get a better product at a lower cost!

---
A "contributing" retired General on Fox wrapped up the lack of transparency of Biden vs Trump.. Trump would answer an ice cream vendors question, while Biden would dribble whatever flavor ice cream he was served.

---
Online "headline: "Buttigieg tells crowd White construction workers are taking jobs from communities of color * He said the workers 'don't look like they came from anywhere near the neighborhood'' -- What a bigoted comment! Guess he figures "being qualified" is not important in a job... and Mayhem Pete Buttigieg certainly knows he was given his job without being qualified for it... plus he labeled all the people who live in the areas of his "infrastructure" jobs...

---
Lady GAGA may soon get on the Hollywood "Schiff" List... her dad was on Fox talking about how bad the crime and inflation increases have affected his NYC restaurant.. he did a straight comparison to how much better it was under Trump before Biden took office.

Hey, Columbus GA Council... if there is an "Out of Order" sign on one of those charger spaces, can I use it as a parking space for my fossil fuel vehicle?

---
Online headline: "California's grid faces collapse as leaders push renewables, electric vehicles, experts say" -- Hmmm... guess Gov.

If you have State Farm Insurance, be on the lookout for a policy rate increase ...I'm pretty sure Patrick Mahomes' agent has a clause in Mahomes' contract that makes his ad appearance rates escalate if he wins the Super Bowl.

---
It's almost ironic that the Super Bowl was held in State Farm Stadium... I'm sure lawyers have lined up to file "slip and fall" lawsuits for every Chief or Eagle player. The footing was so bad, it reminded me of the very first time I went "ice skating" back in the 1950s.

---
Was watching the Phoenix Open 's par 3 number 16 "Stadium Hole". One of the blimp or drone shots showed the beautiful homes that lined the course. Then I'll thought, if I'd built that home overlooking the course, I'd be PO'd I no longer had the view that was there when I bought the home .

---
Online headline: "Black national anthem at Super Bowl stirs debate on social media" -- Will someone tell me why singing a "national" anthem for a "nation" that doesn't exist unites our country? Hmmm... well, it does explain why BLM and Disney and Democrats want to eviscerate Abraham Lincoln who said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand".

---
From the "Bias? What bias?" department - Online disinformation headline: "Pence subpoena could set up fight over executive privilege" -- "Could".... MSM will run a "story" based on "could" versus leading with "Any BIDEN subpoena WOULD set up fight over executive privilege".. Tis is nothing but MSM collusion to misdirect the real story.

From the "Trudeau is smarter than Biden" department - Online headline/story: "U.S. shoots down unidentified object in Canadian airspace * A U.S. fighter jet shot down an unidentified object in the skies over Canada on Saturday on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s orders, Canadian and U.S. officials confirmed." -- Hmmm --- another one of those "Unidentified objects" (Bull Schiff!.. we have satellite cameras that can ID a FLY resting on Biden's ice cream cone), but here, Canada's PM Trudeau pulled a Tom Sawyer deal with Biden for US Taxpayers PAY for the use of a $100,000,000.00 jet that costs $80,000.00 per hour to operate to take it down!

---
Online headline: "Military commander tells senators on spy balloon: "We think before we shoot"" -- Hmmm ... maybe this is the main reason recruiting is so bad!

---
The Democrats sent out two "safe" (re-election wise) "messengers", Senator Kaine, D- VA,and Representative Jim Hines, D-CT, on the SATURDAY news shows to play down the "significance" of two "foreign objects" that penetrated our air space boundaries.

I see Resident Biden Is finally taking China's surveillance blimps/balloons seriously... he's even defunded the ones our Border Patrol was using to monitor/surveil our Southern Border to catch Chinese illegals

---
Two years ago, my street was on "the list" to be resurfaced... it ain't happened, and my request to Columbus, GA 311 Government Service System has gone on deaf ears... Last year, we were told we had to have the mandated garbage cans as the new garbage trucks could only process "them"... then later last year we were told we wouldn't see the new trucks until "next year" (2023), but so far, we haven't seen one in our neighborhood. I'm beginning to feel our entire Council supports Biden bin LYING.

C'mon, General, no one believed you. When you said you didn''t KNOW what the object was.. Of course you KNEW! At least say you know what it is, but you're not going to say "what it is" at this time!

But during the segment, Jackson said MSNBC obtained the police report and then aired an unredacted version of the document for roughly 15 seconds." -- "MSNBC erroneously aired"? Yeah... Right... MSNBC never does a story with a "doxxing" issue... unless.. unless it's intentional...

Hmmm... looks like the recent traditional Fox interview with the President has been scrapped.. intermediaries for Biden don't want Fox to show an interview of Biden a cross the Fox Network... especially at this time.. Rumor has it, though, that the new Disney exec might want to interview him for a remake of Disney's "Song of the South" Biden would just sit there.. and say "nuthin".

Online headline/story: "Chinese Investment Dominates: 384,000 Acres of US Land Now Owned by Chinese Investors * This is a significant increase from previous years and highlights the growing presence of Chinese investment in the US. * The largest concentration of Chinese-owned land is in the western states, particularly in California and Nevada. This is largely due to the attractive real estate prices and favorable climate in these states. " -- "attractive real estate prices"? I bet China bought more property in California to "launder money" through donors to Queen PeLOUSY and Dingy Harry Reid when they ruled...

Online headline: "Army sees safety, not 'wokeness,' as top recruiting obstacle" -- Hmm.. if "safety" is "known" or "Blamed" to be the deterrent, then the US Military needs to revise it's "engagement policy".. Who wants to serve knowing that even in a combat situation, you have to wait on the enemy you can actually see aiming at you to shoot before you fire at "it"?

Writer's note: "Of course the military under Biden wants to discount the "WOKE" issue even though it has become intolerant to all.

Additional note: "Above item response "blocked " by source.

Wow! Are you following the fraud in the Payroll Protection Plan and Covid-19 Unemployment payments being reported by the House Ways and Means Committee? We're hearing 100s of Billions in fraud and it'll probably exceed a TRILLION! The fact that Republicans have found all this in a month of being in charge means the Democrats KNEW about this for the past 2 years and wouldn't tell because of the 2022 elections! Think about that.... the Democrats are as dangerous a threat to America as the Chinese, and the Dems should be added to the HHS "Domestic TERRORIST LIST".

PBS needs to be stripped of all taxpayer funded government grants!

CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and NBC are liberal, but they are private companies, but PBS isn't anything but a yapping Yorkie on a government controlled leash! Woodruff's interview with Biden was more contrived than George Stephanopoulos' interview with Baldwin!

Online headline: "Alec Baldwin's fatal 'Rust' shooting: The options left for actor amid possible jail time, new lawsuit" -- No plea deal! Baldwin needs to be exposed under oath for lying when he did a self-serving ABC interview stating he did not "pull the trigger". Whether Baldwin takes the stand or not is not the important aspect.. but having an FBI expert parsing the video of Baldwin saying he didn't pull the trigger needs to be in the records.

Wow! If I hadn't heard the name Baltimore mentioned first, I'd thought this might have been about Columbus, GA's School System, but in Baltimore, there are 23 schools (including 8 high schools) that had ZERO...ZIP... student proficient in math!

Online headline/story: "Why Choose Columbus, GA? Advantages Add Up for Companies * The city’s diverse economy, affordability, business-friendly regulatory environment, logistics advantages, available sites and job-ready workforce make it an ideal location for companies whose markets extend across town or around the globe. * They include Columbus-based companies such as Fortune 500 member Aflac, Synovus and TSYS, a Global Payments company, as well as Fortune 500 member Raytheon Technologies subsidiary, Pratt & Whitney. * Apparel and lifestyle company Salt Life is headquartered here, too. The Columbus region is exactly where Salt Life President Jeff Stillwell and the company’s leadership team want to live." -- There's one thing missing in this "presentation"... Except for Pratt & Whitney.. all the other "major businesses are local connections, and no recruiting was involved.. Columbus just needs a more pro-active Chamber .. Oh! And remembering Heckler & Koch (H & K guns) has a business here might help create interest from OTHER non-local-connected businesses..
