From the "wait for it" department - Online headline/story: "New poll dashes hopes for 4 trying to make Democratic debate * Ten candidates have already qualified for the ABC-sponsored Democratic debate in Houston in September, but Steyer, Gillibrand, Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, and author Marianne Williamson were hoping some last-minute surveys would push them across the threshold. * Now they'll have to hope that new polls come out before Wednesday." -- Hmmm ...10 in... 4 still with crossed fingers.. that's 14.. Wait a minute.. at last count after 6 Demo had withdrawn, there were still 20 actives.. but others 6 are kissing in action.. guess the DemocRATs claims could be right.. at least within THEIR party.. POLL FRAUD!

The Republicans should really look at getting a good candidate to run against Sen Kirsten Gillibrand, D-NY, in 2024.She just won re-election in 2018, but now she can't get a 2% support level even with her home state being historically DemocRAT. Hey.. President Trump will be leaving office then, so how about him or one of his children!

Online story: "The forceful removal of a group of transgender women and a gay man from a Los Angeles bar is being investigated as a possible hate crime, police said Monday. ^ Cell phone video showing security guards shoving and dragging two transgender women and a gay man out of the downtown bar was widely shared on social media over the weekend. Top police officials and Mayor Eric Garcetti promised a thorough investigation."
We have definition! -- MSM-13 has finally defined it's parameters for "numbers".. Already knew "some" was "2", but now "3" is what MSM-13 considers a "group". Now, one more thing .. is a "transgender woman" a "woman claiming to be a man", or :\"a man claiming to be a woman"?

Online headline: "VMAs 2019: Newark water crisis protesters attempt to storm awards show" -- Hmmm... I guess the protesters could be called the "Anti-FAucets" (you may groan as you wish)

Is Andrew Luck's retirement part of a conspiracy to get "Colon KaeperPRICK" back in the NFL? Think about it... The Colts are giving about $25 MILLION in optional bonus money that Luck isn't "earning"... so I wouldn't put it past NIKE to pay it back to the Colts if the Colts will allow KaeperPRICK on "saddle up".

 

---
Online story: "One of the cameras in the hallway outside of Epstein's cell captured footage that was deemed unusable, though it is unclear what about the footage investigators deemed not usable, The Washington Post reported." -- Hmmm.. let's see. Was it because:
1 - an Epstein body double was brought in and Epstein walked out?
2 - Bill Clinton walked in wearing a Blue Dress?
3 - Jussie Smollett was carrying a  noose made of sheets?

 

---
It's one of those "shaking my head" moments..thinking about the protesters wanting to take away the rights of individuals they disagree with to have free speech and own guns , yet not realizing that it's only because of the Constitution our forefathers wrote that they can protest it. Reality won't sink in unless the Constitution IS changed and the protesters learn they no longer can protest.

Some liberal...proclaiming to be a Republican concerned with ocean pollution and why it's America's fault got ripped 'a new one' by Mark Levine yesterday...The idiot called in to discuss the issue with someone who is a lot better informed on the matter than he was. Levine named the Top 10 polluters...which does not include the US... The guy about hemorrhaged when Levine demanded he tell how he was going to get Bangladesh, number 10 worst ocean polluter, to make changes.

So the Obamas have bought a $15 Million dollar 7 bedroom Island estate off Martha's Vineyard ...They do need 3 bedrooms for themselves and their two daughters...and maybe one for Michelle's mother, so three will be available..wonder if the Obamas will bring in homeless islanders ...yeah...right..

Wow! We were in Atlanta yesterday shopping at Phipps Plaza. Connected to the Simons Guest Wifi. While my bride was shopping, I sat down (by order) and tried to connect to Fox News...and the Wifi wouldn't allow it..I shut off wifi and connected immediately with cellular data. Talk about cheesy censorship!

Wasn't it nice? Nice that our President goes to an International meeting and doesn't apologize for our greatness.

 

---
Our M/C L-E missed the Fed-Ex Tour Championship as noted yesterday by laziness, but it also missed reporting Biden-been-Botoxed speaking in New Hampshire and calling it Vermont..that, my friends, was intentional. Even the also-rans cannot mention it as long as Biden is leading... Uh-oh...

 

---
France's Macron should be severely chastised... ostracized... vilified! Regardless that nothing terroristic happened, but secretly allowing an Iranian jet to even enter the AIR SPACE near the G7 conference could have been horrific if terrorist nation Iran had concealed even a minor nuclear weapon. Chaos is a terrorist's best ally.

 

---
Biden-been-Botoxed had a 31% support factor among the DemocRAT database in March, and now has 19% today... in other words, Biden-been-Botoxed is toast, and after a weekend gaffe-spree and poll numbers reversals, even Jill Biden would have to hold her nose to vote for Creepy Joe.

 

---
At least two more people were shot and killed over the weekend here in Columbus, GA.. and a third is in critical condition from the same incident.. By what we know, that should be 23.. possibly 24 shooting deaths in Columbus the first 8 months of 2019. Liberalism in local government, the courts, the media, and the schools just destroy communities.

 

Note: Today is Tuesday.. and our "crappie wrapper".. the M/C L-E has not even mentioned the shooting deaths that happened in out community.. how pathetic!

From the "how appropriate" department - DemocRAT "contributors" on Fox were asked if the "wannabes" should drop out if they don't qualify for the September DemocRATic Debacle. One said they should "Exit....stage LEFT"... (as in FAR LEFT?). Another said we don't need Trump because he's a public official who doesn't tell the truth...well aside from the need for "holding one's cards close to his vest" when negotiating, who among the DemocRATs even KNOW what a "truth" is..in fact Biden-been-Botoxed feels "truth" and "facts" are not the same. Oh...another thing the DemocRAT contributors said on Fox was that China was a democracy and capitalist country!

 

---
After a weekend of DemocRATs complaints about Trump's trade tactics' China must have realized that Trump will win in 2020, and it will be better for China...as well...to get in agreement with Trump's "free trade" goals.

 

---
Hey Hollywood! Did you hear what China said? China says it does not want to go back to the earlier agreement to end it's piracy of intellectual properties. Granted, most Entertainment Properties are not necessarily "intellectual" in actuality, why do they still support China, the DemocRATs, and MSM-13?

 

From the "WTH?" department - Online headline: "Macron sparks confusion after inviting Iran's foreign minister to G7 summit" -- What the hell is Macron "thinking"! He schemed behind President Trump..and the world, to allow the world's leading terrorist country fly an unsecured jet into the same city ..and probably airport...as the President Trump on what could.. what possibly IS .... a suicide mission assassination attempt!

 

---
New definition contender for PATHETIC! - Just curious, but the Fed-EX Cup Tour Championship was held just up the road in Atlanta and a golfer won $15,000,000.00 for a single-day record sports payout, and the M/C L-E had no mention of it on the front page of the Monday edition itself... nor.. get this.. nor the print SPORTS SECTION at all!

 

---
Why is the Southern Company, parent company of GA Power, allowed to spend money sponsoring a golf tournament? The only profits are from it's monopoly utility divisions which gets their rates set by Public Service Commissions which make judgments based on a projected guaranteed profit. Customers of monopoly companies should not forced to pay for corporate extras.

 

---
Hmmm...wonder if MSM-13 will even mention...acknowledge..the trade deals President Trump negotiated.

 

---
From the "pre-kept promises" department - Online headline/story: "Trump promised a major tax cut if he and GOP wins in 2020 * Trump tweeted Saturday. “If Republicans take back the House, and keep the Senate and Presidency, one of our first acts will be to approve a major middle income Tax Cut! Democrats only want to raise your taxes!” " -- American taxpayers will actually.. technically, anyway, get TWO tax cuts if the Socialist-DemocRATs are swept out.. the first one will be keeping Trump's first TAX CUT the Dems want to rescind, plus his new one.

Other than the religious demographics, there are two BIG reasons DemocRATs and MSM-13 avoid conversations about Africa: One is that slavery is still in existence, and TWO, none cam explain why the Sahara Desert exists since the internal combustion engine didn't get discovered until AFTER it went from an oasis to wasteland.

From the "Build the Southern Wall... and add California as well!" department - Online headline/story: "Illegal immigrant arrested on 100+ child sex crime charges in Louisiana * Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry has announced the arrest of an undocumented immigrant accused of more than 100 counts of sex crimes. * Miguel Martinez, 44, was arrested on 100 counts of possession of pornography involving juveniles under the age of 13 years old, one count of production under the age of 13, and one count of sexual battery of a juvenile under the age of 13. * Landry says Martinez was living in Harvey, Louisiana illegally. * Martinez was previously deported in 2005. * He is a registered sex offender in California, Landry said." -- Sanctuary cities are bad enough, but but a sanctuary state.. and mind you, a state that has over 10% of our elected Congressional representatives which have better than 20% of the necessary Electoral College votes to elect our president, and doesn't want voters to prove their citizenship..ell, California is best described as a State of Chaos.. a State of National Disaster..

Most .. maybe all..of the DemocRATs have pandered for the black vote with offers of reparations..... but that's all it is...when pressed about how this would...could... happen none of them actually has a plan.

Jesus.. to the world.. Selling his testimony to a political ideology that denounces Christianity!

From the "is his really new news?" department - Online headline/story: "LA Now The ‘City Of Rats’? Report Warns Of ‘Alarming Increase’ In Rodent Population * despite some studies linking rodent activity to climate change, the report says environmental factors are not to blame for the state’s rat increase. Instead, the issue is “directly related” a spike in the homeless population and the elimination of effective rodent control methods under legislation such as AB 1788, which would ban the use of ban the “second generation” category of anticoagulant rodenticides in California." -- Hmmm.. without citizenship or voter ID's required, looks like Governor PeLOUSY's Nephew has his hands tied by California's "sanctuary state/city and execution laws" .

---
Can you not see the updated headline?" department - Online headline/story: "Virginia Hasn’t Stopped Noncitizens From Voting, Watchdog Finds * More than 1,000 noncitizens registered to vote in Virginia and cast nearly 200 ballots in elections before being purged from voter rolls, according to a government watchdog group. * The Public Interest Legal Foundation released its findings Tuesday from only eight of Virginia’s 133 voting jurisdictions. * “Virginia election officials don’t seem to care that thousands of ineligible aliens have corrupted their voter rolls by illegally registering to vote,” Adams said in a written statement. “Even worse than doing nothing about it, they are trying to cover it up.”" -- Hmmm.. over a 1,000 knowingly illegally registered voter in 8 of 133 voting jurisdictions.. in 1897, a New York newspaper published the following about "SC": "Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus".. now, in 2019, the headline would read, "Yes, Virginia, there is a Socialist Conspiracy".

Why was Ilhan Omar so interested in going to Israel when she could have tried to go to Iran and speak up for Nasrin Sotoudeh , an Iranian lawyer who was sentenced to over 30 years in prison and given 148 "lashes" for defending the rights of Muslim women to remove their hijabs? Omar won't even remove hers in Congress!

How can environmentalists be so supportive of solar energy panels? The same people that prohibit cutting old growth timber, clearing undergrowth in forests, prohibit rerouting water from snail darter homes so that farmers can irrigate their crops, are now, basically, saying to cut down meadow greenery, and bulldoze scenic areas and nesting grounds, and replace them with fields of solar panels..

Hollywooders are so hypocritical ... They've ganged up with Dems and MSM-13 in support of China in the tariff negotiations with President Trump' yet Trump is trying to help the entertainment world by curbing Chinese supported piracy of music, movies, and other intellectual properties.

M/C L-E headline: "New state law helps protect renters from eviction in Columbus" -- You know what's really going to happen., don't you? Properties in disrepair will just be abandoned as the owners can't get FMV for them as new buyers are not going to pay good money upfront then have to pay for restorations on top of that in order to get a decent rent... return.. so, expect more "buildings" with "D" sprayed on them, and the City having to tear them down at taxpayer expense.

M/C L-E headline/story: "A new report says Georgia’s public colleges and universities had an economic impact worth $17.7 billion statewide during the 2018 fiscal year. * It credited Georgia’s public colleges with creating 168,284 jobs – 70 percent of which were off-campus positions in the private and public sectors.: -- Whoa! Let's parse this for the sake of reality! First, how much student loan debt OVERLOAD are the students taking with them that will throttle their financial independence. Secondly.. if 70% are of the jobs are "off-campus positions in the private and public sectors", then 30% of those jobs must be on the backs of the taxpayers which means our money for more needed government services will be stretched out even further than we are already having to deal with.

Remember Hurricane Katrina.. you know.. the weather disaster President Bush "ordered" against New Orleans? Remember Mayor Ray Nagin? Well "was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years in prison for bribery, money laundering and other corruption that spanned his two terms as mayor — including the chaotic years after Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005."

If it wasn't on your "radar", plan to go see the "Overcomer". Not only is it a good message, it's a really good movie.

Seems the proponents of the River Road Roundabout feel it will work if everyone learns how to use it... Hmmm.. we've had the J. R. Allen Parkway .. for what..40 years or so, and the GA DOT has permanently closed one exit, and now wants to add traffic lights to control the merge lanes because drivers HAVEN'T learned to how merge in 40 years, and all the roundabout demands is drivers CONSTANTLY merge.

From the "wake up call" department - Kamala Harris just said at a rally, “And once he’s gone and we have regained our rightful place in the White House, look out if you supported him and endorsed his actions, because we’ll be coming for you next. You will feel the vengeance of a nation. No stone will be left unturned as we seek you out in every corner of this great nation. For it is you who have betrayed us.” -- There has been a war declared.. and the enemy wants to take away the 2nd Amendment Rights so they can take away our 1st Amendment Rights as well. The DemocRATs feel that Venezuela, China, and North Korea are their idols. 2020 is a "thumbs up/thumbs down" choice of whether we want America to remain the greatest country for our children and grandchildren.

 

---
Trump is so much smarter business and negotiation-wise than any US president in dealing with China..Trump countered China new tariffs swiftly and with clarity by reminding American companies they have alternatives... they can move productions to other countries that are our allies and avoid the tariffs, or bring their businesses back to America for more benefits.

 

---
Did I call it...MSM-13 and the DemocRATic Party were ecstatic about China initiating new tariffs. Trump should remind our farmers that China cannot.. well, does not.. produce enough food themselves and will get them somewhere which will prop up the prices in other markets, and, at same time, remove any guilt our farmers have for doing business with a country with so many human rights violations. And another thing, MSM-13 and the DemocRATs.. basically are admitted supporters of China in this, but Trump has initiated "America has your back" programs for our farmers.

From the "Where's he going with this?" department - Online headline/story: "Biden: Imagine what would have happened if Obama had been assassinated * HANOVER, N.H. - Former Vice President Joe Biden posed a stark hypothetical to voters in New Hampshire Friday as he discussed today's volatile political climate: What if Barack Obama had been assassinated?" -- As I recall, Biden was brought on board with Obama to PREVENT an assassination of Obama... NOBODY..NOBODY wanted to see Biden become president.. and that would be the ONLY way Biden could do this... reminds me of how LBJ became president.. Johnson would never have been elected by our nation if JFK were not assassinated.

 

---
Online headline: "Critics mock CNN for hiring ex-FBI official Andrew McCabe: ‘Will only further plunge the network's credibility into a black hole’ -- Well...just proves CNN is definitely the home of "Fake News Personified". Hiring McCabe means CNN is planning not to change. Write your AT&T Shareholder Relations agent complain that you are disappointed that profits will be affected.

Online story: "The winner of Ms. Nevada 2019, a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, claims that she was stripped of her title and disqualified from the upcoming Ms. America Pageant after voicing her conservative values on social media. * However, according to pageant organizers, it was the former beauty queen's violation of the pageant’s rules and regulations, which states that the pageant is a "No Politics pageant,” that lead to her exclusion." -- "No Politics Pageant"? Just declaring this as a "policy" makes it ALL about politics! Where's Hellary? Where's the National Organization of Women? Where's the ACLU? Hell, where's Alexandria Cortez-Ocasio! A "sock" has been stuffed into the mouths of pageant women!

Hmmm... a second "conservative ex-Republican something or other" has decided to challenge President Trump in the 2020 GOP Primaries... now, former Congressman Joe Walsh of Illinois has joined former MA Governor William Weld for consideration.. Excuse me.. but there are no Republicans elected in Illinois or MA, but if there were, they'd only serve at the whim of their State's DemocRATic Party machine's discretion..

Have you ever thought about why MSM-13 and the DemocRATs put so much political angst on primaries in Iowa and New Hampshire? Neither state come close to representing the melting pot of America.. Iowa is 85% white, and New Hampshire is 90%

From the "What Bernie say versus reality" department - M/C L-E story: "Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Sunday branded Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell as an obstructionist for blocking Democratic efforts to reduce gun violence, bolster election security and raise the federal minimum wage." -- On the other hand, reality is that Senator McConnell is an American hero for keeping the DemocRATic agenda from destroying the greatest country in the world.

Can someone on Columbus City Council show us how going to once-a-week garbage pick-up is saving us money? Garbage trucks still run 4 days a week for 1 pickup so labor and expenses are the same.

Can you imagine how successful Trump.. for that matter, any company/corporation CEO , would be if he had a majority of his "executives" working for his goals.. Maybe Trump should put them all on a "pay for performance" compensation plan.. a base salary of.. oh, let's start at Bernie's favorite..$15.00 per hour plus bonuses when America does good!

Online story: "Ford, Honda, Volkswagen and BMW signed on to the voluntary agreement with California, but the deal will have nationwide impact as the four automakers account for 30 percent of all new vehicles sold in the U.S. annually. The pact lays out the goal of an average vehicle fuel economy of 50 miles per gallon by 2025. * Trump had sought to roll back higher fuel efficiency standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency during Barack Obama’s presidency, freezing them at 37 miles per gallon." -- Hmmm... Trump may be able to solve the California's bad influence on the rest of the states.. California is pretty much building it's on wall that will block out all forms of internal combustion engine vehicles .. including Fire and Garbage Trucks which are so necessary in California.

 

---
Online headline/story: "San Francisco adopting new language for criminals, 'convicted felon' now will be called a 'justice-involved person' * The San Francisco Chronicle reports that a criminal released from custody will be called a “formerly incarcerated person” or a “returning resident.” * A juvenile “delinquent” will now be called a “young person with justice system involvement,” or a “young person impacted by the juvenile justice system. * And drug addicts or substance abusers, meanwhile, will become “a person with a history of substance use.”" -- Hmm... Let's expand on this.. how about describing California's Congressional delegation as "undocumentable American citizens".

Looking back at Amazon's decision to scrap it's proposed New York HQ building, Amazon is probably quietly praying to God about Alexandia Cortez-Ocasio,, after all, she has kept Amazon from being under the thumb of NYC's de Bl@sio , and Governor Cuomo.

Online headline: "Electoral College Members Can Defy Voters’ Wishes, Court Rules" -- Good grief.. and it wasn't the 9th District.. it was in District 10 HQ'd in Colorado.. so we at least know what everybody was smoking. Though the ruling upheld the Electoral College vote for a different candidate, what now must happen is that the Nominee of each party, not the party officials need to submit their own list of Electoral College voters.

Looks like our River Road Roundabout got double-whammied the week. Last May, it was posted that parts of the intersection would closed for 12 weeks..that ended Aug 20 without happening.. The second flub was that the barriers at Cascade/Bradley Park would be removed after 5 days which ended LAST Friday. Guess we need to start a new 'pool'... maybe two...one day and month, and one for the year!

Online headline: "Fish with 'two mouths' shocks anglers: 'It’s a catch of a lifetime'" -- Hmmm... looks like we've discovered the first known two-faced DemocRAT barracuda.

" -- I'm beginning to believe all our elected representatives need to take (and score an "A" or better) a Constitution test EVERY year before a session starts, and have their votes on issues compared as to whether favorable to the Constitution, or lose his/her seat.

I appreciate AG Barr trying to eliminate questions about Epstein's death' but I still haven't heard him say that an independent autopsy was done to confirm Epstein's DNA. Epstein is too big an egotist to manipulate his will at the last moment without having a trick up his sleeve.

Online headline: "Sanders releases $16 trillion ‘Green New Deal’ plan, promises it will ‘pay for itself’ -- "Pay for itself"? .Yeah...right... well, how about him and his Green Buddies co-signing a bank loan to pay off what doesn't "pay for itself".

It's too bad that we have liberal US (so-called) economic pundits that consider politics over reality when discussing the tariffs on China. China won't "move" until Xi understands that Trump WILL win re-election' and then China will be eager to get something in writing and in effect. Xi knows he can out wait the DemocRATs.

 

---
Is being stupid a REQUIREMENT of getting membership in the DemocRATic Party? It doesn't seem to matter whether a Dem is black/brown/white or male/female/binary, none have any common sense or logic about how building the wall for about a $25 Billion one time expense plus a few million annually for ongoing maintenance will free up $100 + Billion that's now annually spent on border security and illegal alien detention care which will become available for social programs for internal issues.

You know' if DemocRATs had to be truthful and say "illegal aliens" instead of "migrants" or "undocumented guests"' and had to listen to themselves speaking such, the smart ones would recognize how stupid they sound supporting the DemocRAT agenda.

It's sad that Columbus has been short nearly 100 police officers for the past 9-ish years, but when DemocRATs handcuff and demean and install "rules of engagement" policies that endanger our "men/women in Blue", even higher wages is not going to solve the problem...

I tell you what, economics is an up-and-down phenomenon even in the most open environment, but it ought to treason for any citizen.. even media with it's 1st Amendment Rights, and Stock market manipulators, to work to intentionally undermine our economy.

You know.. we probably need a more wide-spread concept than the RED FLAG system to identify mental health issues that will keep unstable people from buying guns.. How about just a blanket ban on gun purchases for all registered voters in BLUE States and BLUE Cities?

What bias?" department - AJC "headLIE/story": " Trump says Danish leader was "nasty" in spat over Greenland * “I thought that the Prime Minister's statement that it (the sale of Greenland) was an absurd idea, was nasty," Mr. Trump added." -- Good grief.. Trump said her statement was nasty, not the Prime Minister herself...

From the "Bias? What bias?" department - Another AJC "headLIE": "Voters raise concerns about new voting system to state board -- Of course "hey" were voters.. they had to be "voters" to have standing to complain.. but..

Slavery in the 17th, 18th, even the 19th Century through Civil War is not the same issue that needs to be addressed.. A war was fought, and our Constitution was amended. The issue today is primarily one of the DemocRATic Party wanting to enslave people of all colors to government control of their daily lives.

DemocRATs claim that Trump's new plan to keep families together at the border is "heartless"... and "inhumane". Hmmm ... you know, I would think any real family, especially one in a new.. strange country... would prefer to stay together.

From the "warped sense of priorities" department - Online headline/story: "Alyssa Milano says she has no regrets about 2 abortions: 'I would not have my career' * Last spring, Milano called for a Hollywood boycott and “sex strike” in Georgia to protest a heartbeat bill passed in the state." --Seriously.. a "sex strike"? You know, if she'd exercised a "sex strike" until she was married... or at least "mature and stable", she wouldn't be dealing with her abortions.... Of course.. she only has a career in her mind, not most Americans

Jill Abramson, former NYTIMES Exec Editor, defended the current NYTIMES Exec Editor's anti-Trump focus by saying Fox News was responsible because Fox constantly attacks him. She then said that the readers of the NYTimes are liberal and want even more liberalism doctrines presented. This alone shows how the NYTimes has digressed from it's one time greatness because it shows that it presents all the news with biases rather than facts.

What calendar is Biden-been-Botoxed using? He said he remembers the assassinations of Bobby Kennedy and Dr. King happening about the time he got engaged to his current wife back in the late 70s. Most calendars I'm familiar with said those tragedies happened in 1968.

Online headline: "Man with arsenal allegedly threatened hotel mass shooting * A cook at a Los Angeles-area hotel was arrested after he allegedly threatened a mass shooting and stockpiled guns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition at his home, police said Wednesday. * Montoya was upset over a work-related human resources issue when he told a co-worker at the Long Beach Marriott on Monday that "he was going to shoot up fellow employees and people coming into the hotel," Police Chief Robert Luna said. " -- Look at the arsenal this whacko had in his home! My first question is how does a hotel cook afford living in Huntington Beach, CA and still have money to buy this much weaponry?

From the "miscarriage of justice" department - Online story: " Texas on Wednesday put to death a man found guilty of the rape and murder of a 19-year-old college student in an execution that followed arguments from the inmate's attorneys that authorities ignored key evidence that would exonerate him." -- Good grief.. if the 19 year old had survived, a potential child could have resulted... that would be OLDER than the woman he raped and killed! And don't forget how much money it has cost the family of his victim to house and coddle for these 21 years since they lost their family member.

Online story: "Hundreds of millions of dollars in federal student loan debt owed by tens of thousands of disabled military veterans will be erased under a directive President Donald Trump signed Wednesday. * Trump ordered the Education Department to "eliminate every penny of federal student loan debt" owed by American veterans who are completely and permanently disabled." -- This is what great presidents do.. recognize the debt America owes to it's military heroes...

---
From the "and then reality sets in" department - HuffPOOPOO headline/story "poop": "Jay Inslee, climate candidate, exits 2020 presidential race * Jay Inslee dropped his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination on Wednesday night as he looked unlikely to qualify for next month’s debate." -- Hmmm...it really is ironic that the Governor of Washington had to digest the latest donation report in Washington in which President Trump not only received more money from Washington citizens than the top 6 DemocRATs COMBINED.. and Inslee wasn't even in the Top 6 DemocRATs!

---
From the "hypocrisy, thy name is DemocRAT!" department - Online headline/story: "Some 2020 Dems' campaigns spent big on Uber, Lyft -- even on day of boycott they backed * Democratic presidential candidates spent hundreds of dollars on Uber and Lyft even as they supported a boycott of the ride-hailing services back in May. * Sen. Cory Booker, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and Former HUD Secretary Julian Castro all jumped to support the May 8 protest against the two companies as part of an effort to improve the drivers’ pay and job security. * “I'm standing in solidarity with [Rideshare Drivers United] and all those striking across the country today for livable wages, more job security, and regulated fares,” Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind., wrote on Twitter. * In total, the Booker campaign spent over $4,000, Buttigieg over $9,000 and Castro nearly $3,000 on such services, according to the FEC records. * But it’s Sen. Kamala Harris who has been leading the way when it comes to spending on Uber and Lyft – racking up nearly $15,000 over the course of her campaign" -- Wow! All these hypocrites.. using other people's money to ride around towns trying to win an election that will give them access to other people's money funded private jets, helicopters, and bullet-proof limos..

Hmmm... and think about this.. can you imagine how out-of-place every one of the DemocRAT wannabes would look deplaning Air Force 1 at a meeting of the G-7 or G-20?

From the "Bias? What bias?" department - Online headline: "Furious Home Depot shoppers say they're boycotting the store and cutting up their cards after one of the home-improvement retailer's founders said he'd donate some of his fortune to Trump's reelection campaign" -- Good grief.. MSM-13 will make a show out of a handful of libs cutting up unopened, valueless "Home Depot Gift Cards" .. but MSM-13 will not ask any of them what was the last DIY project they actually did...

---
M/C L-E headline: "‘Heartbeat bill’ imperils effort to become a film hub" -- Good grief.. How many movies have been recorded here in the last 12-15 months.. 7? 8? maybe more.. now, which would we rather rather have.. filmmakers that celebrate life or ones that celebrate the death of a baby? Oh! By the way, Te Kendrick Brothers film, "Overcomer" opens here on tomorrow, August 23rd...

---
M/C L-E headline: "Trump revives suggestion he’d end birthright citizenship" -- Amen!

---
M/C L-E headline: "Columbus veterans band together to provide proper burial for ‘a hero’" -- Standing "O" for our military community! Will someone send a copy of this story to Colin KaeperPRICK and Nike, and remind them of why his taking a knee during our National Anthem is egotistical CRAP!

---
M/C L-E headline/story: "Epstein may have gamed the system from beyond the grave * The will that Jeffrey Epstein signed just two days before his jail-house suicide puts more than $577 million in assets into a trust fund that could make it more difficult for his dozens of accusers to collect damages." -- Hmmm.. now we see another connection with Clinton.. how to hide money.. The Clintons' did so by opening their foundation in Canada which meant they did not have to post, among other financial data, donor lists...

There is a major basic difference between President Trump, and whomever the DemocRATs run against him ... Trump campaigns on what is good FOR our country and FOR all hard working Americans... the DemocRAT candidate will campaign on what he/she promises to do TO our country and TO hard working Americans in order to get the votes of those who want the government to "take care of them".

 

---
You know.. MSM-13 is so accustomed to "campaign promises not getting done", MSM-13 is overwhelmed at what Trump's accomplished in spite of the combined efforts of MSM-13 and the DemocRATs/RINOs. Unfortunately, MSM-13 expects decades of political abuses to be changed overnight.. even as MSM-13 fights Trump on every front, .but...America IS getting the wall, America IS getting fair trade agreements, America HAS regained its world-wide respect, and most American citizens are proud again.

 

---
After all the gaffes and fumbled speech lines Biden-been-Botoxed has delivered in the past two weeks, you can sense the DemocRATic National Committee is sweating bullets. Waiting unscathed, so far, in the wings is seldom mentioned or discussed Tom Steyer, a DemocRAT with actual business acumen... of course, that may work against him because of Jeffrey Epstein.. Epstein said that the only thing worse than being known as a pedophile is being known as a "hedge fund manager". Tom Steyer is a HEDGE FUND MANAGER!

How does the "Medicare For All" concept get paid for? Seniors on Medicare put in funding all their working life and even when they turn 65, pay into it via a reduction in their Social Security checks.. and .. and they have co=pays and annual deduction to meet. How can "Medicare For All" survive without the lifetime accumulation during the working years?

 

---
Biden-been-Botoxed... once known as "Middleclass Joe", but more recently known as "Millionaire Joe" or .. my favorite.. "Mediocre Joe".. has forsaken his Delaware home to rent a 12K sq ft, gated/walled waterfront mansion in Virginia in the shadows of the CIA at Langley, at a reported $20,000.00 a month. What I want to know is how many tax dollars have been spent "securing" this rental property since the Bidens get Secret Service protection for being both a former VP, as as a nominee contender for President. I would also like to see actual paid rent receipts.

 

---
From the "so much for the DemocRATs concern over border relief" department - Online headline/story: "All 2020 Senate Dems Absent for Vote to Send Humanitarian Relief to Border * Less than 24 hours after House Democrats passed a measure Tuesday night, the Republican-controlled Senate rejected it with a 55-37 vote and approved their own measure with overwhelming bipartisan support with a 84-8 vote" -- None of the 7 DemocRAT Senators took time off from blathering to demonstrate their actually concerns. I guess they all recognize their own irrelevance..

 

---
Online headline: "In-N-Out Burger donates $25,000 to (California) Republican Party, prompting Democrats to demand boycott" -- Hmmm... OK....like a vegan boycott in California will cripple a hamburger joint.

 

---
Any body know the address for Milton Bradley...I've got an idea for a spinoff game to one of their all time classics.. It's a mystery about inner city crimes game for DemocRATs..... my working title is "Don't Have a CLUE".

 

---
Online headline: "Harry Reid rips Dems over 'Medicare-for-all,' border policies: 'Of course' it will hurt us in 2020" -- Good grief! The DemocRATs of 2019 have brought Dingy Harry Reid out of the shadows, and Reid now sounds like a Republican compared to when he was in office.

 

---
Illinois State Senator Sandoval hot caught promoting an assassination skit against the sitting president...he should be the Poster Child for any new mental health Red Flag bills.

 

---
Where is Senator Feinstein? Usually, when there's some sort of gun issue, she's in the forefront of the DemocRAT party screaming for NEW GUN LAWS! I say this because of stats out showing more children being killed by being locked into a caretaker/parents car than have been killed by a mass shooter situation. I sorta expected her to be proclaiming we should be banning all cars except convertibles!

Booty-gig and de Bl@sio have defined the issue of why crime is so out of control in their own urban areas...and they are trying to control it from the campaign circuit by pandering to racial groups

 

---
Governor PeLOUSY's Nephew has signed a new law in California making it illegal for police officers to use their guns unless...get this..they are in a "necessary" lethal situation (subject to post action review). Reminds me of Obama's "Rules of Engagement" for soldiers that prohibited their actions until AFTER the enemy has first taken action... hmmm. It's sorta hard to protect yourself when you're dead.

Oh! If you have a trip planned to Israel, take time to get Tlaib's grandmother's address, and go visit Congressperson Tlaib's grandmother. Tell her you're sorry her granddaughter has decided... chosen.. not to visit her.

 

---
Online headline: "Illegal immigrant rape suspect released from Maryland jail, violating detainer policy, ICE says " -- Two things are obvious here...Trump is right about Baltimore being a rat-infested "s***hole", but he may be wrong at solely blaming Elijah Cummings.. it looks like the Baltimore mayor and Police Chief are the real culprits.

 

---
Online story: "Liberal CNN commentator Angela Rye had a fiery exchange with a Republican strategist during a panel discussion Monday night, telling him that "white men who think like you" are the "greatest terrorist threat in this country." -- Hmmm..it looks like CNN has basic issues with people who think before they speak..which is obviously something CNN staffers do not do.

 

---
Have you noticed the ages of school and public area shooters in the last couple of decades? Most have gone through school without the presence of Jesus being allowed there. Guns are not the blame.. period.. it's the aimless and soulless condition of the shooters.

 

---
M/C L-E "HEADLIE" - "DNA tests clear man in ’76 slaying, lawyers tell state high court" -- "DNA test clear man"? Whoa! No such thing happened! All that's happened is that no DISCERNIBLE DNA was found, and that is a big difference and his confessions are still viable today as they were then. I can also think of a couple of reasonable ways to keep DNA from being on the robe belt and necktie used to bind the victim.

 

---
There's talk that the September DemocRATic Debacle's may need two nights as well.. THE DNC must really be feeling desperate if the initial 2 dozen wannabes hasn't narrowed down to a small enough number by then to fit on a stage for one night.

From the "Woulda-shoulda-coulda Bias? What Woulda-Shoulda-Coulda Bias?" department - Online headline/story: " * What tariffs could cost American households * According to the bank’s analysts, the cost of the U.S.-China trade war borne by consumers is likely to rise from around $600 per year — based on the first two “phases” of the tariffs on Chinese imports — to around $1,000, based on the third round of tariffs. * That $1,000 figure assumes a 10% tariff on about $112 billion of Chinese imports, which U.S. President Donald Trump announced will begin next month." -- Woulda-Shoulda-Coulda! Good grief! "could cost"? Just a likely projection is "could save".. could create American jobs .. could save American jobs.. or could send American retailers importing from ally countries at better prices! The "Chicken Little: The Sky Is Falling!" campaign is a Socialist-DemocRAT election tactic..

 

---
Online headline: "Megan Rapinoe says her parents 'need to go to therapy' for watching Fox News" -- Better yet is that her family reportedly supports President Trump..and Megan Rapinoe should be grateful! If her parents were liberal, she;d probably be nothing more than abortion data!

 

---
From the "best self description of the year" department - Online headline/story: "Illinois state senator apologizes for mock Trump assassination photos taken at fundraiser * The following day, a female attendee posted several images showing a man pointing what appears to be a fake assault weapon at another attendee who wore Mexican garb and a Trump mask" -- Hmmm.. yes, Democratic state Senator Martin Sandoval, did come out and "apologize" (though more for his embarrassment at being cu=aught) and said he was "sorry". Wow,, a DemocRAT who tells the truth.. Sandoval IS a "SORRY" @-hole!

 

---
Regardless of who's the DemocRAT VP nominee, the if Biden-been-Botoxed is the head of the ticket, it'll be the equivalence of a Thomas Eagleton led 1972 ticket.. ironically, both have taken too many  "shots" to the head.

 

---
Online headline: "Tlaib gets emotional as Omar calls for Congress to act over Israel travel restrictions" -- Good grief! Congress should get emotional... and rid itself of Tlaib and Omar.. and apologize for embarrassing the US .. and our staunchest ally.

 

---
Looks like the DemocRATs are bottoming out. In he Left Coast state of Washington, donations to Trump 2020 are greater than the top 6 DemocRATs.. combined. I seriously doubt Trump can win Washington, but there are vulnerabilities in Congress in play .

 

---
From the "Hey ex-Mayor of Columbus Tom-LYING-son, California.. not Washington.. is calling you" department - Online Story: "In San Francisco, the toilets cost roughly $200,000 each to operate annually, depending on the hours, said Rachel Gordon, a spokeswoman for San Francisco Public Works. * That doesn’t include the initial cost of $73,000 to buy each of the bathroom units or a one-time expense of nearly $200,000 for a vacuum truck to service them. Many are open less than 12 hours a day, and running them all night would be “considerably more” — at least $500,000 a year — because they would require two attendants late at night for safety reasons, Gordon said." -- Who better to run an outdoor public facility program than someone who feels a $244,000.00 public executive bathroom (key access) is a bargain?

 

---
After hearing the weekend updates on the death of Jeffrey Epstein - including a new will - the US Atty General should make extra-special efforts to make sure the body is not cremated, and gets another autopsy from a non-NY forensic examiner.

 

---
You know.. the Congressional Black Caucus is probably one of the most racist organizations in our country.. not only is race a requirement, you have to be a DemocRATic Congressperson to really be accepted to participate. In effect.. participating in it violates a Congressman's oath to serve in office as a defender of our Constitution...

 

---
Online headline/story: "Sen Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) on Monday drew in the largest crowd of her presidential campaign tour yet, attracting thousands of energized supporters to her town hall at Macalester College. * She drew raucous applause when she discussed her proposed wealth tax, which would impose a 2% tax on fortunes worth more than $50 million and a 3% tax on fortunes worth more than $1 billion." -- Good grief.. talk about making class warfare promises she cannot even begin to feel would get enacted, Warren couldn't get her husband to drink a beer with her! The reality is that Macalester College has a student body of only 2,200, so 1000s of non-students were brought in as props. Oh, and her "folly tax" on accumulated wealth will never pan out as individual with the kind of wealth she's targeting will shift wealth to Donor Advisory Funds or personal; foundations, and pre-death distributions to other family members will be taken to reduce the total wealth below her target numbers.. which will result in less private money being ventured into new businesses/jobs..

 

---
Have heard 2 different explanations of what "Antifa" stands for..Some say "Anti-Fascism" ..but that can't be right because they ARE fascist. The other is " Anti-First Amendment" ( Anti-F-A)..they both nail the organization, and that's why it should be designated a "terrorist organization".

 

---
Saw a DNC list of Socialist-DemocRATs that have qualified for the September DemocRATic Debacle # 3. Interestingly, Tom Steyer was not mentioned... period.. Last week I included a small article showing the Steyer has already QUIETLY qualified with the number of donors required.. Something is up..

 

---
From the "it's official" department - M/C L-E FRONT PAGE/Above the Fold headline/story: "Columbus to get the region’s first Goodwill outlet store * The new store, at 3857 Saint Mary’s Road, will sell items priced by the pound instead of per item. * Items from the traditional retail stores that do not sell within four weeks will be transferred to the outlet" -- Good grief.. Goodwill Industries has declared South Columbus as it's "official" regional dumping grounds! I can see outlying counties getting it';s citizens to take their junk to the closest Goodwill collection box so it will eventually end up in Columbus' landfill rather the=an them paying the cost of their own landfill.

 

--
M/C L-E headline: "Is Columbus ‘Best City in the South’? Vote in Southern Living contest" -- Hmm I love Columbus, but I'm not sure it is the Best City in the South".. but it now has potential since ex-mayor Tom-LYING-son is no longer in charge.

 

---
Hmmm-- thinking about, where is Zeph Baker? He seems to have dropped off the "map" since the 2018 local elections.. including being well over a year LATE in filing his Campaign Disclosure forms.

 

---
Thinking about Zeph Baker made me wonder about his business ventures here..There's still Google 'tracks' of "Majestic Sunz" listed at 5150 Macon Road.. property database shows that that property is still in the hands of a former political "pundit" RINO that tried to roll back our tax freeze. Anybody know whether there's a viable asset working out of that property?

 

---
M/C L-E headline/story: "Group of Georgia voters challenging legality of new election system * Georgia voters who want hand-marked paper ballots are challenging the new election system state officials are rushing to implement in time for next year’s presidential primaries, saying the new touchscreen machines remain vulnerable and their results unverifiable, even though they produce paper records." -- Hmmm.. filed by "Georgia voters who want hand-marked paper ballots "? -- Hmmm.. and not one mention of the filers being DemocRATs... You know, the only reason DemocRATs want to use only hand-filled ballots is because you can't stuff forged electronic votes into a backroom ballot box. If eliminating "voter fraud" was the goal of Stacey Abrams and the DemocRATic Party, they would be applauding voter ID and the new electronic system that prints out a paper record as well.

 

---
From the "straight BS!" department - M/C L-E headline: "Early Epstein accuser: Police could have stopped him in 1997" -- Heh heh heh.. not a chance could this have happened with Bill Clinton in the "ORAL Office"!

 

From the "Bias? What bias?" department - Online headline: "Racist, threatening letters sent to Charlotte mayor and several non-white lawmakers borrowed language used by Trump" -- "borrowed language used by Trump"? Good grief! But there's no condemnation that the ALL the words were TAKEN from Webster's Dictionary! For that matter, how do people "borrow" words from someone who doesn't actually OWN them?

 

---
Online story: "Text messages and emails from Nike executives entered in federal court on Friday paint a vivid portrait of the inner workings of grassroots basketball. * They include detailed plans to pay then-high school stars such as Zion Williamson and Romeo Langford, line-item accounting of alleged payments to the people around eventual No. 1 pick Deandre Ayton, and an acknowledgment by a top Nike executive that “the perception and resulting reality is that we dictate where players go to school.”" -- Hmmm... "dictate where players go to school"? This sounds similar to the recent situation where parents of elites who were not star athletes have been vilified for wanting to help get their children into elite schools.... ONLY MUCH WORSE!

 

---
Nike must really thrive on controversy and messing with people's lives..We had a situation here in Columbus, GA with a Nike program that criminalized and ruined the career of 2 Columbus, GA  employees running a youth basketball mill, and we just learned that Nike has been manipulating top high school players college decisions, and now Nike may be intruding into amateur golf. A finalist who has finished his career at Vanderbilt was wearing school colors with a small Vandy insignia on one side of his shirt but on the other side, and on his cap were HUGE Nike "swoops". Happenstance..I don't think so. Vandy's golf coach was interviewed while wearing team items.. a cap with a big Vandy "V" on it, and a team shirt with the Vandy insignia on it. Neither article had the Nike "swoop" (at least not visible) on it. The USGA needs to investigate whether there was "play for pay" involved or a promise of a Nike contract as soon as he turns professional.

 

---
Online headline: "Graham: IG's report on Russia probe will be 'ugly and damning' for DOJ
-- I pray the FBI be able to regain its public confidence by the time Trump leaves office in January of 2025. America must have confidence that its premiere law enforcement agency is going to become above board again.

 

---
You know, MSM-13 and the DemocRATs made little, if any, effort to get decent trade agreements that helped America, yet when President Trump announces he's going to make big changes that put America first' MSM-13 and the DemocRATs get upset that he can't get those things done overnight.

 

---
From the "Hypocrisy, thy name is.. Socialist-DemocRAT/MSM-13" - department - Online story: "(President Trump) announced that he had chosen the Office of the Surgeon General to receive his second-quarter salary for 2019. * Nevertheless, many on Twitter were quick to mock Trump’s seemingly generous gesture by pointing out the high expenses incurred by his frequent golf outings. * One person wrote, in part, “He donates 400k & writes it off but charges hundreds of thousands for government officials, security etc to Stay in his hotels while protecting him, while he plays GOLF & charges the American people.” -- Good grief.. none of the Socialist=DemocRATs.. none of the MSM-13 ever mentions that Obama kept all of his presidential paychecks as well as had his security entourage "on the clock" as he played even more golf.

 

---
Online headline: "Kaepernick ally snaps: "Has Jay-Z ever taken a knee?" -- Hmmm I imagine when Jay-Z "takes a knee", it's to honor God... and to pray for confused malcontents that protest the very best country in the world; and for childish athletes being paid boukoodles of money to play a kids game, and for the Philadelphia idiots that jeer and pummel police officers being shot at by drug dealers living next door to them.

 

---
From the "remember when?" department - Online headline/story: "Newt Gingrich: We’re in a space race with China – We must win to protect our economic and national security * As our legacy space companies and NASA continue to fumble around and protect their prized projects, China is aggressively seeking to overcome the United States as the dominant space- faring nation." -- Hmmm Remember this? "Online NYT headline/story from 1999: "Clinton Approves Technology Transfer to China * May 11, 1999 * The Clinton Administration notified Congress today that it had approved the export of technology to China to permit the launching of a communications satellite aboard a Chinese rocket next month. * President Clinton said in a letter to Congress that the transfer would not harm national security or significantly improve China's military capability in space. The President was required under a 1998 law to certify that all such technology exports are in the national interest." I wouldn't be surprise if Chairman Xi goes after the portrait of Clinton that Epstein had in his NY mansion.. "Devil with the Blue Dress On".

The Bible addressed the "Climate Changers/New Green Dealers" 2,000 years ago. The Apostle Luke, in verse 12:56 summed them up pretty succinctly : "Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don't know how to interpret this present time?"

 

---
A well respected local judicial and political leader said we need to trust our Council on the Government Center situation. I asked him, "Are you saying to agree with them on replacing the Courthouse, or trust them with a 10 year $350 MILLION spending spree?" . I do believe ineptitude by previous Councils (which includes a lot on the current Council) are responsible for the pitiful condition of the Court House , and replacing it is the only real choice after 48 years of neglect , but we need to do something despite the track record we are looking back at. Giving them $350,000,000.00 is not what we should do...

 

---
You know, I believe in helping people in need.. well, in real need, but 'helping' whomever happens to come along is ludicrous. Just read about Atlanta having 77 schools where everybody gets all their meals free. and not too long ago' I read Columbus added another school.. the 19th I believe, to its 'everybody eats free' list.. Surely, not everybody attending those schools should get free meals when not all schools do so.

 

---
Online headline: "Varney calls 2020 Dems 'grossly hypocritical' after Forbes releases net worth of candidates" -- Stuart Varney is close.. but it's more like Socialists believe "some animals are more equal than other animals"...Varney has really missed the biggest point about Biden-been-Botoxed... Biden has a home in Delaware where he's lived for decades that the taxpayers spent tons of money making it secure for him and his wife when he was Vice President... yet he had basically abandoned that house and is renting a mansion of a multi-multi-millionaire after leaving office...though I cannot get info if he actually pays the rent or how much it is... but we taxpayers have also paid for the security improvements on this rental property.

 

---
Saturday, while waiting for a certain TV show to come on, I turned on ESPN2 early and caught the end if some X-games. I was appalled that there was a girls skateboard competition.. I applaud talent, but not irresponsibility.. none of the competitors wore helmets or other protective gear.. Excuse me, but younger adventuresome girls will see this and defy their parents' by ditching their protective gear when trying to emulate the professionals.

 

---
I'm sure not we agree for the same reasons , but I am glad Epstein's lawyers have expressed doubt in the NY Medical Examiners opinion that Epstein's death was by suicide.. that's just too convenient considering the names associated with him. Hope they can keep his body from being cremated.

 

---
Hmmm...during the first DemocRATic Debacle, did any questioner ask for a show of hands of the nominee wannabes as to who supported the Antifa violence?

 

---
M/C L-E headline: "Database provides look at salaries for Columbus government employees" -- Hmm.. while I am appreciative that the L-E publicizes the salaries of key City personnel, I am very disappointed that the L-E did not publish the duties and salary of Deputy Mayor Bishop.. This job was a political add-on job created out of thin air just for him.. why doesn't the public know the details?

 

---
M/C L-E headline: "Stacey Abrams has her eyes on Georgia as she focuses on fighting voter suppression" -- Hmm anyone not promoting border security, the wall, and voter ID cards is not interested in stopping voter fraud.

 

---
I am in wonder how a judge can order an electronic voting system shut down because it is outdated... yet feels that anonymous, hand-written paper ballots are safer...

 

---
You know, the NYC Medical Examiner should not be the only person to perform an autopsy on Jeffrey Epstein...just the Cuomo/Clinton New York political connection alone creates urgency to get a independent exam.

 

---
Did you see the New Hampshire crowds that came out to see/support President Trump? I think Trump could win both the Republican and Democrat primaries in NH.

 

---
Sadly, the citizens of Venezuela and Hong Kong are being suppressed of their rights with little sympathy from our MSM-13 media... even sadder is that MSM-13 is supporting the same government ideology of the DemocRATic Party. MSM-13 should be looking at what little freedom of speech the media has in Venezuela and China.. it's what will be come of even MSM-13's 1st Amendment rights if DemocRATs gain control.

 

---
As Mitch Ryder, Bruce Springsteen, and others have shared, it's the "Devil With the Blue Dress on". It wasn't in Epstein's house as sarcastic commentary.. no... it was hung in tribute as Epstein admired what Clinton got away with...

 

---
Wow... I was fooled.. Michael J Fox donated to Pete Booty-gig... I guessed he would be a Biden-been-Botoxed fan seeing as Creepy Joe has said he knows THE CURE for cancer but won't reveal it unless he's elected...

 

---
Speaking of Creepy Joe's cancer cure ...MSM-13 just yawns when it's flashed in front of it...guess MSM-13 just writes it of as either another Biden gaffe or just another Biden promise that won't be kept.

From the "do as I say' not as I do" department - Online headline/story: "Buttigieg offers most controversial statement yet on campaign trail: Get rid of the DH (MLB's designated Hitter) * South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who's spoken in favor of workers' rights in his bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, raised eyebrows Friday after reportedly championing an economic system that forces some workers to perform additional duties they're not trained for while realistically denying a job to other skilled laborers -- Yes, "Mayor Pete" supports Major League Baseball's National League-style of play" * I feel you ought to have to play both parts of the game,” said Buttigieg," -- Hmmmm...hypocrite...he doesn't believe this in his personal life..marriage.

 

---
From what must be "world's toughest job to do with a straight face" department - Hmmmm... Think about being the head of the promotional department at Burger King, and having to advertise that your best selling, signature hamburger cannot be distinguished from a plant patty.

 

I'm waiting for Wendy's to troll out Clara Peller to ask,, "Really? Where IS the beef?"

 

---
Tlaib and Omar's plaintive pleas of disgust and discrimination wring hollow. It's been them advocating boycotts of Israel, so why are they complaining about being boycotted by Israel?

 

---
Wow! Congressperson Tlaib's hatred for Israel is stronger than her love of her family! Forget the recent situations when she rejected the opportunity to go there with the Congressional junket, or her being banned by Israel for a political cause, then refused to accept access for a humanitarian cause, yet she hadn't bothered to go visit her family there for the previous 10 years..

 

---
Excuse me, but how can DemocRATs and MSM-13ers condemn the Israeli decision to deny Tlaib and Omar access as US Congresspersons, yet hem-haw when US Congresspersons choose.. CAMPAIGN.. ADVOCATE.. to condemn Israel?

 

---
Online headline: "Painting of Bill Clinton in blue dress and heels was inside Jeffrey Epstein's NYC mansion" -- You know...considering the history of these two men, Epstein having this picture of "Devil with a Blue Dress On" was a tribute to Bill Clinton .. a tribute to their mutual admiration.

M/C L-E headline: "9 MCSD properties, including some former schools, will be up for sale if board approves" -- There are two pieces of property that are not on this list that should be.. the first replacement Spencer High School recently abandoned, and the highly valuable property between Veterans-Whitesville-Bradley Park roads area..The MCSD bus lot can be moved ... behind the Columbus Roberts Center off Brown Ave comes to mind instantly.

That shooter in Philadelphia.. the one that wounded 6 police officers.. the one that his neighbors rallied for by jeering at and throwing things at the police officers trying to end the danger to that neighborhood.. the one that was about 37, and had 6.. that's right 6 felony convictions involving firearms since he was 18 (I see about 19 years of history of gun violence) and we don't even know what might be sealed within the juvy court records. Question: How the heck was he free on the streets?

From the "another DA fail" department - M/C L-E headline/story: "Columbus midtown murder suspect had previous gang arrest at apartment complex * (In a previous recent arrest) officers found a .45-caliber pistol, marijuana and a digital scale. * Though Reed initially was charged with making terroristic threats, along with 10 counts of criminal gang activity, the gang charges later were dropped and the terroristic threat count was reduced to simple assault. * In a negotiated plea deal on June 26, Reed’s simple assault charge was dismissed, and he pleaded guilty only to criminal trespass. * (Reed was) sentenced .. to serve eight months, though Reed likely was released early with credit for the time he already spent in jail." -- Why do we even go through the motions? When guns are used in drug deals, there are no victimless crimes.. and when recidivist felons can plea bargain to lesser charges, the public is not given justice..

M/C L-E headline/story: "Latino actors, writers pen ‘letter of solidarity’ * Actresses America Ferrera and Eva Longoria are leading a group of more than 150 writers, artists and leaders who have written a public “letter of solidarity” to U.S. Latinos after the mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, and an immigration raid in Mississippi. * The letter, published Friday in The New York Times and in a handful of Spanish-language newspapers, says the signers stand with U.S. Latinos who may feel “terrified, heartbroken and defeated by the barrage of attacks,” citing the shooting in El Paso, which targeted Hispanics, and another shooting in Gilroy, California. The two attacks killed nearly two dozen Latinos. * “We have been smeared by political rhetoric and murdered in violent hate crimes. We have been separated from our families and have watched our children caged,” the letter said. “But, we will not be broken. We will not be silenced.”" -- Wow.. A hundred-fifty or so actresses/, writers et al ... well  Insulated and well Isolated actresses, writers et al are finally upset at the laws brought in by Obama/Biden when they are now being enforced to protect all the American citizens who have obeyed our country's laws. US citizens of Hispanic ancestry ought to be PO's at Hollywood!

When was the last time the DemocRATS SUPPORTED Israel... on anything! It's well documented.. though Mueller didn't investigate it..that Obama even tried his best at undermining Israel's election hoping Netanyahu would lose..

M/C L-E headline/story: "5 new storefronts breathe more life into Midtown * When Roses announced earlier this summer that it would be moving into a portion of the former Kmart on Macon Road, it signaled that midtown is still a thriving place for businesses despite a dismal outlook for brick-and-mortar retail nationwide." -- Excuse me, but when does a discount store moving into a building abandoned by another discount store "signal" that area as a "thriving place for businesses"?

M/C L-E headline/story: "Today in history: In 1934, a plebiscite in Germany approved the vesting of sole executive power in Adolf Hitler." -- Wow! "a plebiscite... vesting of sole executive power in Adolph Hitler"? This exactly what the Socialist-DemocRATs envision for America and why they want open borders, no voter ID, taking away gun rights, and ending the Electoral College.. just check out Venezuela, North Korea, and China.

M/C L-E headline/story: "Doctors say new rule will mean sicker immigrants * Doctors and public health experts warn of poor health and rising costs they say will come from sweeping Trump administration changes that would deny green cards to many immigrants who use Medicaid, as well as food stamps and other forms of public assistance. * Two California counties and attorneys general in 13 states sued, saying the changes will increase public health risks. * There are signs that is already happening in cities including Chicago, Detroit and New York, immigrant advocates say." -- Well... so far, I've counted all the naysayers on my fingers and toes and I still have a couple toes I haven't used. This is what MSM-13 does.. overblows the urgency by elevating the numbers .. Immigrants wanting the American "dream" should want it all.. including being responsible for their healthcare.
