It's nice.... and more than appropriate.. that the nation honor and remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr... but it would even be even more fitting if his teachings were remembered as well...such as his mission across the South was to cast the Democratic Party's Jim KKKrow shackles of segregation/discrimination off, and that people judge each other by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. As I personally remember those days, Dr King chose the history of the Republican Party to be his support and future!

Now we know why John Kerry claims he's
driven by "GREEN protocol"! Of course the "green" he wants
us to think about is not the same "GREEN" he's ACTUALLY thinking
about.. we just learned $4.3 MILLION in GREEN taxpayer dollars is what his
staff gets in salaries (at an average of $170,000.00). And the State Department
won't name his staff..

Online headline: “WASHINGTON
(Reuters) -Former U.S. senator and secretary of state John Kerry will leave his
post as President Joe Biden's special climate envoy after three year” -- Hmmm …
how timely and “convenient”… wonder if one of his 5 existing homes is in a
country that doesn’t extradite with the US?

Talk about "oxymoronic"...
Hollywood activists advocate for children to be able to make gender-change
decisions for themselves, while these Hollywooders make R & X movies that
those same children cannot attend on their own.

Concern with what the weather in
Kansas City for the Dolphins game would be like tweaked my curiosity enough to
check out the Peacock streaming channel.. I think we were intentionally
deceived. It wasn't on "Peacock"(NBC), it was on "Peacock
+" which I would have had to sign up for a subscription to watch for the 5
minutes I planned to watch to witness the NFL making players and fans alike to
have to endure EXTREME Sub-Zero temperature conditions. No thanks, NFL.. when
"you" supported Colon Kaeperprick’s disrespect of my flag and
country, you pretty much lost me! This was nothing but the greed of the NFL to
experiment with making as many NFL games “pay-for-view” as it can…
---
Though I didn't watch it on TV,
Saturday night's NFL game in Kansas City confirms that the NFL is "all
about the money".. who in their right mind would allow an outside football
game with temperature projected as MINUS 2 DEGREES plus a windchill factor
another 10+ degrees colder, and no effort has been made to accommodate… protect...the
live fans!

Online headline/story: “ HOCKEY:
Columbus GA River Dragons go viral on social media, hope to continue connecting
* “We are a smaller team in Columbus – we’re minor league hockey – it’s not
necessarily on everybody’s radar, so to be able to have that wide a scope of an
audience is really cool,” said Team Communications Manager Olivia Crew. “ --
Good perspective... "we're minor league hockey"... Hey, Columbus GA
Council.. the recent action to bring minor league baseball back is minor league,
too.
---
Hmmm … you know, the last time a
Columbus GA Mayor rammed through a new ball program and renovation project at
Golden Park (1996 Olympic Softball disaster), it cost Columbus taxpayers over
$7 Million dollars in expenses, and it destroyed minor league baseball in
Columbus.. it doesn’t seem either the current Mayor or Council has a good
memory…
---
You know, the latest Columbus GA
Council Golden Park lease and Bond deal snuck by the voters.. and apparently
some Councilors...isn't so isolated as some would make us think.. both the
Synovus/City Hall and the Government Judicial Center redo, and the Wynnbrook
property on River Road conversion to high density multi-family apartments
without public hearings, as well as the City tax exemption deal made with a
"then" ELECTED official on the School Board on for a construction
project hardly pass muster as being open public business transactions.

scrutinized as to their organization members’ donations to politicians!
---
Online headline: “ Local reaction to
minor league baseball returning to Columbus, GA” -- Minor League baseball is
not going to encourage economic development in this vicinity. I drove up and
down the Veterans Parkway (US 27) and Victory Drive (US 280) path Saturday, and
if that location could be developed, it already would be developed! Driving
further east on Victory Drive showed even less encouragement for increased
economic development.

EVIDENCE to present in charges against Trump!

never done such work?

Online headline: “Georgia NAACP
talks about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy and progress” -- I hope the GA
NAACP focuses on Dr King's "Dream"... judgement on character rather
than skin color, community efforts rather than segregation, and support of the
Republican Party ideals.
AS a reminder of the past, here’s a
Wall Street Journal article excerpt RE: 1964 Civil Rights Bill: -
“With a little research, the actual
voting record for both Houses of Congress shows that the Civil Rights Act of
1964 passed the Senate on a 73-to-27 vote. The Democratic supermajority in the
Senate split their vote 46 (69%) for and 21 (31%) against. The Republicans, on
the other hand, split their vote 27 for (82%) and 6 against (18%). Thus, the no
vote consisted of 78% Democrats. Further, the infamous 74-day filibuster was
led by the Southern Democrats, who overwhelmingly voted against the act. An
examination of the House vote shows a similar pattern. The House voted 290 to
130 in favor. Democrats split their vote 152 (61%) to 96 (39%) while
Republicans split theirs 138 (80%) to 34 (20%). The no vote consisted of 74%
Democrats. Clearly, the 1964 Civil Rights Act could not have been passed without
the leadership of Republicans.”

Online headline: “ Surprise
head-coach candidate emerging as new favorite in Atlanta Falcons coaching
search” – Hmmm.. While I really don't give a "rat's rear" about
what's going on in the NFL anymore, it's almost blasphemous to infer that a 6
time Super Bowl champion coach and a 17-31 coach are included in the same
"coin flip".

Online headline: ‘ Georgia DA Fani
Willis says accusations of affair with Trump prosecutor are racially motivated”

Online headline: “Anti-Israel
demonstrators marched outside of the White House on Saturday night, with some
throwing items at officers and engaging in “destructive behavior,"

for Biden if he’s on the Democrat ticket!
---
Online headline: “Peacock's
exclusive NFL stream of Chiefs-Dolphins playoff game irks fans” – Hmmm .. A few

subscriptions and canceled after the game.

Riley Gaines was pulled aside when
she tried to enter the NCAA event this past week… it wasn’t about her

Online headline: “Almost half of

Hmmm... Not exactly a positive for Haley attracting Trump supporters if she
wins.. but the truth is that IF Haley should become the Republican nominee,
these fickle voters will probably vote for Biden..again. It also indicates
Democrat “CROSSOVER”.. which is.. basically ELECTION INTERFERENCE!

From the “something you really need
to parse” department – Online headline: “Vice President Kamala Harris Unveils
$6.4 Million Initiative to Tackle Community Violence “ – Think about this..
it’s just a resume’ padding photo –op! $6.4 Million is but $128,000.00 PER
STATE.. and less than 2-cents per person nationwide.. Even if Chuckles Harris
had issued it to only our Southern Border states, $6.4 Million would only be
about $2.00 per head fore every illegal alien that’s crossed our border in 2023
ALONE!

Willis should be charged with “aiding and abetting” a crime.

expenses means the average salary of those jobs was about $125,000.00 each..
And you can bet these were entry/low level jobs.. Wanna bet some higher
salaried executives will give themselves a “bonus” for cutting expenses?

- a prohibition on recruiting

- a prohibition on communication

most coaches won't need as many scholarships to field a winning team anyway! If
they need a new player for a position, just order one via "Amazon" as
needed.

administration of Ecuadorean President Daniel Noboa has asked lawmakers to
weigh an increase in value added tax (VAT) to finance efforts to combat crime
gangs, as the armed forces increased operations in violent areas on Friday. * A
dramatic spike in violence this week - including the on-air storming of a TV station,
the hostage-taking of 178 prison staff by inmates and the kidnapping of police
officers - appears to be a response by gangs to Noboa's plans to tackle a dire
security situation, the government has said.” – Wow! Even Resident Biden hadn’t
thought of a “Value Added Tax” that would increase poverty on taxpaying
Americans! Besides. Ecuador is ridding itself of gangs by encouraging them to
come TO America!
