From the "What? We whine?" department - Online headline/story: "McConnell releases impeachment trial rules, sparking new outcry from Dems * limiting opening arguments to no more than two days and scheduling them to start on Wednesday 1 p.m., Democrats will be forced to make their case against the president well past midnight on Wednesday and Thursday night. * Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., blasted the Republican rules, calling them a “national disgrace.” -- heh..heh..heh? Br'er Mitch has upset Br'er UpChuck's "crapple cart"! Dem Senator Schmoozer had so PLANNED on getting 3 days for opening and end on Friday so the Democrat spinmeisters could swamp the weekend news shows before the President Trump could counter their "claims" with facts..

From the "if you CAN'T prove it, insinuate it" department - Online headline/story: "Georgia election systems COULD HAVE BEEN hacked before 2016 vote * A Georgia election server contains evidence that it was POSSIBLY hacked before the 2016 presidential election and the 2018 vote that gave Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp a narrow victory over Democratic opponent Stacey Abrams * The incident, which occurred in late 2014, LONG BEFORE EITHER of those elections, not only calls into question the integrity of Georgia’s voting machines during critical elections * It's unclear who may have carried out the alleged attack or if voter information was altered, but Logan Lamb, the election security expert who uncovered the activity" -- Good grief.. woulda/coulda? Is that all MSM-13 needs to have to rush to judgment.. some wet-behind-the-ears "expert" who isn't even a principle in the company who looked into this?
 
Who is Logan Lamb... other than someone the Democrats have sent to slaughter, he's been a Sr Security Engineer at BIRD for less than 13 months. before that, he was simply a researcher at two different companies for 8 years. .. this is what needs to be "called into question"!

From the "poll truth.. nothing but the poll truth" department - The AJC has tow polls out.. one says 57% of Georgians do not want President Trump removed from office,, their other one says, "Most Georgia voters support legalizing casino gambling and sports betting, according to statewide poll results released Friday by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution." -- The first one I hardily believe,, and if the AJC used a truly reflective sampling of registered voters, the number of Georgians supporting Trump in this situation would be considerably higher,, but the second one.. gimmee a break, if the 57% in the first poll is reflective of Georgians politically, then no way do a "majority of GA voters " approve of casino and open sports betting...

Back in November, I went to Macon for a wedding.. I made two points.. one was how desolate downtown Macon s-Streets were because of the Parking meters discouragement of shoppers and diners.. the other was how much more vibrant the main artery into the downtown area was compared to our eyesight trail on Veterans Parkway.. Well, it looks like there;s a reason for it.. Macon just reported that " year after a budget shortfall threatened to close libraries, Macon-Bibb County boasts $13.5 million in the black for Fiscal Year 2019. * CPA Miller Edwards told the mayor and commissioners last Tuesday. “We needed it after the past few years. We had to build up that fund balance.” -- Hmmm.. Well, well, well.. it's is refreshing that a City can operate within it's budget and add to the Fund Balance.. how about it Columbus Council!

Columbus Ledger-Enquirer "HEADLIE": "3 killed in fatal weekend shootings across Columbus" -- Good grief.. when did they "put this edition to bed"?
We learned yesterday that another Columbusite, the 4th of the weekend is dead from Saturday. And it's another 13 year old dead..this time via a possible "game" of Russian Roulette. That's 7 deaths now for less than 3 weeks, and 2 of them 13 years old. We can do better than this, Columbus....we HAVE to do better!

Online headline/story: :"Columbus Ranks In Top 25 Cities For Barbecue Nationwide *
Staff Reporter (newsdesk@chattvoice.com) * Columbus was ranked number 21 on the list. The research showed that 7.40% of restaurants in the city limits of Columbus are barbecue restaurants. That ratio means that with Columbus' population coming in at 194,160 residents, there are 13.14 barbecue restaurants for every 100,000 people in the city." -- Hmmm... How can an article discussing BBQ in Columbus, GA not mention Smokey Pig! But what was scary is learning that there are way fewer BBQ restaurants per 100,000 Columbusites than homicides per 100K.
 
 
---
I was amazed...well..more startled .. to learn that the Democrat candidates running for their Party's presidential nomination have taken in over $500,000,000.00 (over half-a-billion), and yet after all the smoke has pretty much cleared, the candidates standing in the party that boasts of its inclusion and diversity consists mainly of angry old white people.. From what the Dems claim, you would feel that their donors would support minorities better...Poof! Another myth shattered...

There was a demonstration in Virginia yesterday that MSM-13 and Democrats forecast it to be "ARMS-ageddon".. Not even one arrest was made.. guess antifa wasn't going to attack armed law-abiding citizens .. didn't here if Governor Northam appeared and "faced" the Virginia citizens about their gun rights.. guess he didn't know which "face" to put on.

Online headline/story: "Nancy Pelosi's daughter said she handed Trump a bottle of water without anyone checking it * Alexandra Pelosi, the House Speaker's daughter, had been directing the filming of a documentary inside the White House on March 1, 2017, when the president appeared, the book said. * Trump had asked for a bottle of water during filming, but in the absence of a staff member to give him one, Pelosi took out a bottle of Aquafina from her purse and handed it to him, the authors said. * To her shock, there were no checks or protocols, the book added" -- Hmmm.. could it simply be that President Trump is a realist and felt someone reaching into her purse for a bottle of water was unlikely to have brought it in anticipating he would ask for such? Sadly, I bet PeLOUSY's daughter has been ostracized by her mother for not being better prepared for an opportunity to take out Trump....

Read an item that said we've been cooking our bacon ALL WRONG... hmmm... well, as much as I love bacon the way my wife and I cook it, then I DON"T WANT TO BE RIGHT!

Columbus Ledger-Enquirer headline/story: "Phenix City mayor earns 2020 MLK Jr. Unity Award honor * “I am shocked,” Lowe said. “I was always taught that when you do something you do it for the right reason and you don’t even look for a ‘thank you’." -- Congratulations Eddie Lowe! I remember our church had Mayor Lowe speak to us one night 7 or 8 years ago.. I asked him if there was any chance he might move over here run to be our mayor.. he ..and the audience.. laughed and he declined... hmmm... Columbus' loss!

Columbus L-E article: Robert De Niro was himself at the SAG awards...too bad..always pointedly anti-Trump, De Niro spouted out these words: "There's right and there's wrong and there's common sense and there's abuse of power," he added..Obviously De Niro did not practice speaking these words in front of a mirror.. if he had, he'd have recognized not on how well his words fit him, he's also learned that abuse of celebritism is far worse than any of his other words.

Let us reflect on the life of Dr Martin Luther King, Jr today... He gave his life fighting for justice and freedom of all Americans.. regardless of the color of their skin..

Just read this off the MCSD website: Report Card: Britt David Magnet School - 96.8% of its 3rd grade students are reading at or above the grade level target." -- Wow! this is our best... and it's not good enough... In comparison, though, is Martin Luther King, Jr Elementary's Report Card:.. ... 13.9% of its 3rd grade students are reading at or above the grade level target. * Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary School's overall
performance is higher than 3% of schools in the state and is lower than its district. * Its students' academic growth is higher than 18% of schools in the state and lower than its district." -- Less than 1-in-7 are reading at the minimum level determined to be the 3rd Grade standard! There may be worse, but I hope not.. We are honoring Dr King today/Monday but is the MCSD really honoring him when stats like this are in a school named for him in hopes of motivating the learning process/desires of students? We can.. we must.. do better!

From the "I wish I could say 'just kiddin'" department - Online headline/story: "Dem Official Threatens To Call Cops if Pledge of Allegiance Recited * in a local board of elections meeting in Bladen County, North Carolina, on Tuesday when three Democratic members of the board voted down a proposal to add the Pledge of Allegiance to the agenda. * The vote prompted an audience-member-led recitation — and the Democratic chairwoman threatened to call the police if anyone did the same at the next meeting" -- Only Socialist would consider an open pledge to individual freedom and justice an arrestable offense. Yes, the 3-of-5 members of the Bladen County Board of Elections were... are... Democrats..
 
---
From the "Trump was Right! " department - Online headline/story: "Puerto Rico governor fires emergency director after aid is found sitting in warehouse * Puerto Rico Governor Wanda Vázquez Garced fired (Carlos Acevedo) the island's emergency management director on Saturday, after a video showing aid sitting unused in a warehouse went viral on social media. Some of the aid has allegedly been sitting in the warehouse since Hurricane Maria struck in 2017." -- Hmmm... I'm surprised Schi** and Faarquad didn't include Trump's questioning the Puerto Rico corruption as part of their impeachment charges...
 
---
Our Sunday School lesson was beautiful... Paul demonstrated.. no, CONFIRMED how Queen PeLOUSY cal-BagLady and the Democrat Presidential hopefuls are such hypocritical liars! None of the Democrats are grateful for the gifts God has bestowed on others. They are resentful of successful men and women of industry.
 


----------------------------
From the "liberal promises, promises" department - Online headline: "Meghan Markle, Prince Harry refuse to live in LA until Trump leaves office" -- Two less "la-las" in LA_LA Land.. I do believe I can live with this for the next 5 years... let's pray the "la-las" keep their promises better than Democrat politicians..

Times.. they have a changed... here's a local church bulletin item showing that Jordan Vocational High School had a graduating class of 509 in 1961. I know my CHS Class of 65 had well over 500 as well. As a rule, high school Senior Classes are generally the smallest of the 4 class years .. Now, most of our public high schools have but 200-300 in a graduating senior class. The MCSD does not have but 3 high schools with over 1,000 students overall.

Columbus Ledger-Enquirer headline/story: "Amid hacking fears, key caucus states to use apps for results * IOWA CITY, IOWA Two of the first three states to vote in the Democratic presidential race will use new mobile apps to gather results from thousands of caucus sites — technology intended to make counting easier but that raises concerns of hacking or glitches. * Democratic Party activists in Iowa and Nevada will use programs downloaded to their personal phones to report the results of caucus gatherings to the state headquarters. That data will then be used to announce the unofficial winners. Paper records will later be used to certify the results." -- Yeah.. We OUGHTA be concerned if Democrats are given "apps" that they can manipulate primary results! Of course, Iowa and Nevada Dems oughta be more concerned that some hacker adds "none of the above" to the ballots... and it wins. Hey, Stacey Abrams.. why aren't you concerned with voter fraud within the Democratic Party where it usually happens?

Columbus Ledger-Enquirer Monday Morning HEADLIE/story: "3-year-old, 50-year-old killed in separate shootings Friday night * Two people are dead after two separate shootings in Columbus Friday night, according to police. * Huh? How about 3 were murdered Friday night.. does not the 21 year old killed in a home invasion in Upatoi not count? That's 3 more Columbus people were killed on Friday! That brings Columbus up to 6 already this year! Don't let anyone try to discount the dead woman who shot herself after killing her husband.. I don't feel it's a "suicide" when someone kills another, then "offs" themselves so they don't have to face the consequences.

Columbus Ledger-Enquirer story: " The man who was supposed to be in charge of turning around poorly performing schools in Georgia has resigned amid an investigation, possibly signaling the end of his position. * Georgia’s state Board of Education voted unanimously Friday to accept the resignation of Eric Thomas from the position as chief turnaround officer. * Thomas’ resignation came after a months long investigation into allegations of discrimination, misuse of funds and conflicts of interest that was ordered this summer by state Superintendent Richard Woods. *The Board of Education didn’t release the findings of the investigation Friday, instead forwarding it to the state’s inspector general for further examination." -- Good grief.. all one had to do was look at results in the MCSD and know it was not working.. To boot..Eric Thomas has been trying to leave the job almost since Deal’s time in office ended at the beginning of this year. He is... probably ought to make that "was" a finalist for a key job in Wisconsin.. anyway, Hey, MCSB,, remember the name .. Eric Thomas... in case he applies for the next Superintendent's opening here.

Columbus Ledger-Enquirer headline/story: "Women’s March rallies held across the US * Thousands gathered in cities across the country Saturday as part of the nationwide Women’s March rallies focused on issues such as climate change, pay equity, reproductive rights and immigration. * Hundreds showed up in New York City and thousands in Washington, D.C., for the rallies, which aim to harness the political power of women, although crowds were noticeably smaller than in previous years. * The first marches in 2017 drew hundreds of thousands of people to rallies in cities across the country on the day after President Donald Trump was inaugurated. That year’s D.C. march drew close to 1 million people." -- "crowds were noticeably smaller than in previous years"? How about demonstratively smaller! Could it simply be that Democrats have worn out their welcome as women's advocates after real women have seem 3 years of Trump's leadership and results helping ALL women and men? How about recent figures that not only are women's employment numbers at least a 50 year HIGH, but that also their are more women working than men!
 
---
Columbus L-E commentary headline: "Georgia lawmaker proves it’s never too late to set the record straight * BY JOHN A. TURES * CORRESPONDENT" -- Good grief! Collins just pared back the depth of his inclusion of all Democrats, he didn't rescind it totally.. On the other hand. Tures has not... because he CANNOT write about any of the Democrat leadership setting the record straight about Trump nor the Bidens.
 
---
Why is the Democratic Party so venomous about blacks hating Trump? You know, in 2016 over 94% of blacks DID NOT VOTE for TRUMP for President.. Trump did not "NEED" the black vote... he won without it.. still, President Trump is doing more for black Americans than any other President.... even though he won without it, Trump WANTS to be President that black voters support.. he reached out on sentence reform, and education.. even special attention to the HBCU..yet he isn't trying to buy votes by promising things he can't deliver.. he promises to give all Americans the opportunity to be successful!
 
---
How dumb is Queen PeLOUSY ? She's taking such glee in broadcasting that the Impeachment of President Trump is a "bad thing" and "FOREVER", but she's forgetting that it reminds the nation that Hellary's husband was impeached as well for real reasons and really bad things if she runs again.
 
---
Well... the "black boxes" from the Ukraine plane are being sent to Ukraine so they can be examined... Iran's Khamenei has apologized and now Democrats are focused on blaming President Trump for it all. You know, Ali Khanenei can apologize to the moon and back about it being an "accident", but when a person manually fires 2 missiles at an outgoing airplane, this was no accident.
 
---
The backtracking has begun.! Queen PELOUSY cal-BagLady announced that the impeachment charges aren't based on proof, but on allegations. If I was Chief Justice Roberts, I would demand the Senate call PELOUSY to testify under oath.

We finally got to go see the last "Stars Wars" movie... (waited until it was at the Ritz's recliner seat theater).. We were most surprised there wasn't a dedication,or at least an onscreen "mention" ... of Carrie Fisher's memory...
 
---
After seeing a "trailer" of an upcoming HuLu Hellary documentary that "might" throw her back into the Democrat presidential nomination process, it begins to make sense as to why Jeffrey Epstein had to commit "suicide"...

Has Creepy Joe changed his hairstyle in an attempt to sway voters? I remember when he combed it back... now he's parting it on the left and combing it over to his right. Maybe he's trying to appeal to the moderates... of course, if Creepy Joe wants to let his hair styles "define" him, a "mullet" would be the most accurate..

Columbus Ledger-Enquirer headline/story: "CDC data shows Columbus ranks No. 15 in nation for STDs * The city was recently ranked No. 15 out of U.S. cities with the highest STD rates, according to a study by Innerbody, a website that provides medical and wellness information. * The study was based on statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (cases reported in 2018) which were released last August. * The city was recently ranked No. 15 out of U.S. cities with the highest STD rates, according to a study by Innerbody, a website that provides medical and wellness information. * The study was based on statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which were released last August." -- Hmmm.. guess we're seeing the real legacy of ex-mayor Queen TT Tom-LYING-son...maybe Council should reconsider moving so many of the Public Health Departments away from the current location next to a local hospital....
 
---
Though many local government questions remain unanswered (such as the Deputy Mayor's salary and duties), an even bigger one has never been answered... in fact, I'm not sure Council even asked.. but who got all the money Piedmont paid to acquire Columbus Regional?

As of Tuesday, January 21st, there are but 9 weeks left to the GA Presidential Primary date.. it's time to start getting Columbusites to mark their calendars to make sure they go vote because.. BECAUSE that's also the date the the MCSD is trying to slip it's continuing SPLOST tax by unnoticed.. We are not getting any help from the MCSB either.. they chose this date versus the November General Election date because the MCSB and MCSD KNOW that very few non-Democrats will vote in the Presidential Primary election as President Trump has already committed to 4 More Years!

Columbus Ledger-Enquirer headline/story: "T-shirt sales to help pay for Columbus girls’ flag football state championship rings * The rings cost around $300 each * The shirts will sell for $12 each" -- Seriously? Some ring manufacturer will gross about $15,000 for some 50 rings, and a T-shirt printer will gross about $15,000.00 at 6.00 cost per shirt for the 2,500 shirts it will take to net the $15,000.00 needed for the 50 Rings. So far, that means some $30,000.00 would have to be collected from the community to raise the money to pay the ring and T-shirt vendors. Wouldn't a wall plaque with team picture be a lot more appropriate and a nice one can be had for about $20.00 each. Tell you what.. if the "powers that be" choose the picture/plaque option, I will donate $1,000.00 towards the picture/plaque option.

From the "all for show" department - Online headline/story: "Bloomberg pledges $70 billion to bolster black America in new plan * Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will announce on Sunday his presidential campaign’s plan aimed at bolstering economic opportunity for black Americans, promising to triple their income over the next decade, but stopping short of promising reparations." -- Let's parse this.. with blacks making up 13.4% of America's 328,000,000 estimate population, there are about 44,000,000 blacks..if you divide 44,000,000 into $70,000,000,000.00, you come up with less .. LESS than $1,600.00 per person for one-time program... Trump has already given ALL Americans way more than that with his tax cuts, and individual deductions.. and that's PER YEAR!
 
---
I tell you what... Chief Justice John Robert's next duty before the impeachment discussion continues in the Senate is to issue a gag order on ALL DEMOCRATS! No sooner than Sen UpChuck Schmoozer take an oath of impartiality did he call a press release to immediately declare Trump guilty without a chance to hear any defense.

 

Friday, January 17, 2020

Hmmm...since the charges brought against President Trump are based on him interfering with a potential opponent, what's the difference of Democrats allowing their Senators sit in judgment of heir potential opponent during the Senate portion of their Impeachment scam?
Oh! And with what they've said about him while campaigning, how can any of the Dem Senators/Representatives who made a "Democratic Debacle" event sign an oath that they are not prejudiced?
 
---
You know, the Democrats are going to have more difficulty holding onto their base this November than since Reagan left office. With the soaring economy and rising wages, former Dem voters have discovered they are better off working full time at higher wages than part time or jobless with Democrat welfare programs.
 
---
Back to the drawing board...a car wreck north of the River Road Roundabout brought all traffic to a standstill... Cars bumper-to-bumpered making the Roundabout look like a dormant Merry-go-round...
 
---
My guess as to why PeLOUSY put Schi** and Lord Faarquad Nadler and 5 relatively unknown Democrats in charge of presenting the impeachment charges is that no other Dems wanted to be associated with a pile of excrement this close to an election... plus none of them "hand picked" are being seriously challenged in their districts..
 
---
Excuse me...how can President Trump be criminally charged with interfering with a politician that hasn't even been nominated by his own party? It wasn't Trump that coerced the former Ukraine president as has been revealed by the former VP , but it was..and is, President Trump's responsibility to root out corruption that affects the US.
 
---
Did you see the "Dead man walking" troupe of Democrat 'managers' on their way to be introduced and introduced in Senate . I was particularly amused by Congressman Nadler.. he tried to carry out a John Wayne swagger. Unfortunately, it's tough to swagger like Wayne when you look like Lord Faarquad.
 
 
Please note that Nadler and Schi** are completely out of step with each other.

How can Queen PeLOUSY contend what Parnas says off the record, in public, but not sworn to under oath , and without cross examination, as "testimony"?

New information announced during a US Virgin Islands law suit against Epstein's estate indicates that Epstein established... and funded a new shell company trust to hide at least $100 Million in assets from any law suits against him....this alone should undermine any claim that his death was a suicide.

Online headline: "Pelosi hands out souvenir pens, Dems slammed for gloating as House delivers Trump impeachment articles" -- Good grief...Queen PeLOUSY cal-BagLady just made a mockery of what should be the gravest action the House can inflict on a citizen of our country.. gloating and handing out souvenirs to her partners in conspiracy.
Republicans should do whatever it takes..legally..to oust her from Congress...I suggest they form a voter re-registration drive to go among the San Francisco homeless and the homeowners who live on the streets the San Francisco homeless are camped out on. Maybe pass out a picture of her gated/fenced home in the area, and what she's focused on in Washington instead of trying to help them.
 
---
Dang...Democrats are so sneaky greedy! Was just asked to sign a birthday card for Michelle Obama, but after I wished her a "Happy b'day!" I was blocked from sending it because I wouldn't include a donation to the DNC. I wonder if Michelle knows the DNC is using her name unknowingly to solicit money for themselves?

From the "absolute LIE" department - Online headline/story: "Watchdog: White House violated law in freezing Ukraine aid * The Government Accountability Office said in a report that the Office of Management and Budget violated the law in holding up the aid, which Congress passed less than a year ago, saying “the President is not vested with the power to ignore or amend any such duly enacted law." -- Absolute LIE! The OMB sets the rules and the President controls all foreign aid money so House cannot assign funds that are contrary to a presidents foreign policy... In this case, President Trump did decide to release money to Ukraine and did so before the end of the day of September 30, 2019 which was the last day of the Fiscal Year.

From the "finally announced.. but let's parse this a bit more" department - Columbus Ledger-Enquirer headline/story: "Housing Authority of Columbus shows redesign for Chase Homes project * Housing Authority of Columbus board members on Wednesday got their first look at preliminary designs for the apartments, tentatively named Mill Village. * The $20 million, 102-unit project is being designed by JHP Architecture out of Dallas, Texas. * The intent is to demolish the old buildings and erect four new structures, shifting the project north on the property and along the Second Avenue corridor. * The shift will move the apartments further away from an electrical power substation and a railway, as well as out of a re-drawn Federal Emergency Management Agency flood plain. * Architects said Wednesday the redesign of Chase Homes will result in a loss of only six units. The units will be one, two or three bedrooms and an average of 1,052 square feet." -- Hmmm... 102 units... averaging 1,052 Square Feet... at a cost of $20,000,000.00... hmm.. 102 units times 1,052 square ft per unit comes to 107,304 total square feet.. which means that the per square foot cost will be $186.00 a square foot.. and the average unit cost of $196,000.00. While the square foot costs are a bargain compared to what the MCSB recently agreed to pay for a girls locker room for the Northside girls softball team (1,008 square feet for $448,414.00 equals $445.00 PER square Foot) (Oh, BTW, I haven't seen any evidence that the boys baseball locker room is valued at the same amount ) the cost per square foot of this public housing project is nearly twice the value of my homes tax value per square foot, and considerably more than what my insurance company feels the guaranteed replacement value per square foot should my home need a complete rebuild. Hey, Housing Authority.. Council.. and you, too, MCSB/MCSD.. that's OUR (and your) tax money you are spending.. demand accountability!

Columbus Ledger-Enquirer headline/story: "Key services will move to health department’s new location * According to Hodge, the city is looking to close on the property in early February, renovate the Virginia College building and move offices prior to June 30. * The building purchase was financed with a bond issue through the Columbus Building Authority for up to $5 million, to include any renovation the city might do to the building, which is currently estimated at $2.5 million." -- The more information that comes out concerning the City's purchase of the old Virginia College building on Veterans, the smellier it gets.. Remember, the building was constructed in 1975.. it's almost as old as the Government Center (which has fallen apart under Council's watch)... and older that the previous "new" Spencer High which has already been abandoned and a newer "new" Spencer High built. The ONLY thing going for it is that it would be a bargain price compared to what the City usually builds buildings for...

From the "what's the difference?" department - In proximity to an open mic, both Bernie and Elizabeth WarHen called each other a liar... Hey.. they are both Democrats... so what's the difference?

Good grief... "signal stealing" has been a part of baseball since the beginning.. it happens at all levels.. including in Little League games. Why has it become an offense that warrants firing mangers, coaches, and even a General Manager? And why are lazy teams that don't change up their signals not being held accountable for something they can do to circumvent signals being stolen. In fact, I can remember feeling that another team's coach had "picked up on our signals" our team used. We used it to our advantage.. with players on 1st and 2nd bases, we gave a signal to our batter to "bunt".. and at the same time we gave our runners a new "steal sign". As the pitcher wound up, the other teams 3rd baseman was already heading in to field a bunt, and as soon as the baseball got to the plate, our base-runners pulled off a double-steal. The batter "took the pitch" and the flustered catcher threw the ball to 3rd base, but there wasn't anyone covering the base for his team, and it went to the left field fence.. our runners scored the tying and winning runs. Yes.. this is how baseball is played.

Thursday, January 16, 2020

You know, if Queen PeLOUSY cal-BagLady was truly interested in fair play, bi-partisanship, justice, and diversity as she preaches, she would have named at least one Republican member to her "House management team" presenting the impeachment charges to the Senate.

The nerve of this guy... I'm talking about Cory Booker! Just got an e-mail from him today, even though he's packed his campaign in, asking me for another donation... this time to the Democratic Unity Fund.. I've seen... heard.. NOTHING... ZILCH .. from any Democrat indicating "unity" is anywhere in their agenda or platform.. Just look at the 2 dozen or so that started out campaigning for their nomination.. now look at who's left.. there's no unity... nor diversity ... nor plan for anything other than a hatred campaign against Trump.. and against individual freedoms for American citizens.

From the "Uh-oh... Dems didn't see this coming" department - Online headline: "Iranians Celebrate Soleimani’s Death in Canada, Praise Trump" -- Hmmm... this is what happens when you ask actual VICTIMS of an ogre how they feel, versus asking politicized liberals...

Online headline/story: "Iran announces first arrests in downing of Ukrainian airliner *
Iran's president calls for a special court to investigate crash and for all those responsible to be 'punished'. * In a televised address on Tuesday, Iran's President Hassan Rouhani promised a thorough investigation into the "unforgivable error" of shooting down the plane, the latest in a series of apologies from a leadership grappling with public anger. * Rouhani called for a special court to be set up with a ranking judge and dozens of experts to investigate the "tragic event"." -- Hmmm.. so Rouhani called for "a special court" and "dozens of experts to investigate".. Hey, Rouhani, I bet mt of the Mueller staff, and Democratic Party members of the House Judiciary and House Committees are available now, and already know how to conduct a Kangaroo Court for your political enemies.

Wow! Just read about "bricks" being created that are considered "Alive".. They are made from a mixture of bacteria, sand , and nutrients molded into "brick" for construction.. Hmmm... and what's going to happen when the "alive bricks" start to "mutate" and encase families in a mausoleum-type tomb?
 
---
Online headline: "Lev Parnas implicates Trump on the eve of Senate trial" --
Good grief...if President Trump is guilty of anything, it's taking care of the American taxpayers money and interests. Now, can Creepy Joe and Hunter Biden say the same thing....
 
---
You know, the Democrats are more guilty of trying to influence an election by their all out effort to conceal the actions of then VP Biden' effort to coerce a foreign government official from revealing the corruptness of the appointment of then VP Biden's son to an Ukraine energy corporation for which he was not qualified professionally. All President Trump has done was trying to make sure the Biden crime was openly discussed.

You know, Chris Matthews ought to get an expert to review the tapes of when he felt Obama's "tingle" on his leg.. it may actually have been diarrhea..

Online story: "A Georgia Democratic lawmaker has proposed legislation that would make it easier for those seeking abortions to undergo the procedure. * The proposal from state Rep. Dar’shun Kendrick, D-Lithonia, takes aim at the “Women’s Right to Know Act” that requires those seeking an abortion to take a series of steps — including undergoing an ultrasound and receiving state-approved information, then waiting 24 hours after the counseling is given to undergo the procedure — before terminating a pregnancy. * Kendrick’s bill would allow women to choose to bypass the requirements, which she says are designed to delay abortions." -- You know... whenever Democrats talk about anything else, they use their fall-back campaign slogan.. "It's for the children", but not when they talk about Women's Productive Rights... and you gotta ask,, will her bill remove the "baby-father" from the "in the know" loop?

Was contacted by a MCSD knowledgeable source last night who will not e-mail. text. call me for fear of repercussion, who said that the recent departure of the MCSD CFO was not totally voluntary... my source did not point to anything it specifically knew, but said there was concern about the past CFO's skills. Just another reason for a real audit to be conducted in case others who were in the CFO's "loop" were "too aware" of opportunities to juggle figures...

How can Democrats claim that re-raising taxes on corporations will boost the economy AND worker wages? Both the economy and wages benefit only when corporations are flush with cash to expand their businesses, and pay current workers more as they look for additional employees, which is exactly what occurs with President Trump's tax cut plans for corporations and workers.

Anyone know why MSM-13 and other Democrats didn't support Elizabeth Warren's claims about Bernie telling her that a woman cannot win the presidency? As I recall during the Kavanaugh inquest, and during the #MeToo purge, all either group could say was that everyone should BELIEVE THE WOMEN!
 
---
MSM-13 made a feeble slough-off President Trump and his bride's s appearance at the FBS Championship game by saying, more or less, "so what..he won Louisiana by 20 points. Well, how does MSM-13 explain the MASSIVE rally Trump held in Milwaukee Tuesday night? 1000s of Wisconsin voters weathered the snow and cold...all day.. and some ALL NIGHT, in order to get into the arena..

Online story: "A new bill in the Georgia House would give police officers the option to take people to get medical care if they’re having a mental health episode. The sponsor says the idea is to keep them out of jail or the courts. * Police have countless encounters in public with people behaving erratically yet may not be committing a crime." -- Good grief.. it seems hard enough to get qualified candidates for law enforcement... at least that;s the "word" here in Columbus, GA.... but now some legislator wants to add that our police officers will have to degrees in medicine and law in order to decide if someone not committing a crime may have a mental issue condition that warrants their arrest?

From the "well named" department - Online headline/story: "The Constitution Is The Oldest Warship In The US Navy * The USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned naval vessel that is still afloat. She was one of six original frigates that were constructed as a result of the Naval Act of 1794. President George Washington chose the name Constitution among a group of 10 names, which were submitted by Secretary of War Timothy Pickering for the six frigates." -- Like our USS Constitution, our US Constitution is still afloat despite Democrat terrorists 21st Century attempts "to sink" it...I had the opportunity to board and "read" the USS Constitution, and though it was constructed in the 1700s, it's still viable today.. so is our US Constitution.. I've read it many times over the years, and am completely "on board" with it, and it's people led Amendments.. just wish our US Constitution was mandatory reading for the Democratic Party members.

You know, after watching Billionaires Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg campaign as Democrats, and combined with the greediness of Billionaire George Soros, I'm beginning to see why Bernie and WarHen are so "anti-Billionaires".. all three of them are basically "hedge fund operators". Maybe somebody needs to introduce them them to Billionaires that have achieved their status by building things and building up people, not by capitalizing on the stock market miseries of others.

Liberals are pathetic! When someone flashes the "OK" sign at them, they wonder if it was really either a "white power" or "Circle game" or even a Wicca "666" sign... but if someone responds to them with a fist with an extended middle finger, they will never consider that the person may have Dupuytren Disease* and all the fingers but the middle one are afflicted by a crippling contraction.
 
* - Dupuytren Disease: The Crippling Hand Condition You've Never Heard Of. Dupuytren disease is an inherited condition which can affect the hands. It causes scar tissue to form inside the palm, which tightens up over time. As it does, it prevents the fingers from being able to straighten.

From the "well, which is it?" department - Columbus Ledger-Enquirer headline/story: "Services added at new Columbus Health Department location * On November 12, Columbus Council voted to purchase the former Virginia College building at 5601 Veterans Parkway for $2.5 million with the intent to relocate some services. * District 2 Councilor Glenn Davis called the move a “deal” for taxpayers, as the city will have a $3 million asset that it owns as opposed to continuing to pay rent * The building purchase was financed with a bond issue through the Columbus Building Authority for up to $5 million, to include any renovation the city might do to the building, which is currently estimated at $2.5 million.-- Good grief.. Council says the property is valued at %2.5 Million.. Councilor Davis says it's worth $3 Million...an unnamed source says we'll have $5 Million invested...and all the sources say the City will save money.. I truly hope this is a well thought out venture, and that true savings will be the result, but appears that none of the sources are even close to being on the same page.. Hey, Council.. what is the "back up plan"; what options will the City have if none of the projections prove doable?

Columbus Ledger-Enquirer story: "MOSCOW President Vladimir Putin engineered a surprise shakeup of Russia’s leadership Wednesday, proposing changes to the constitution that could keep him in power well past the end of his term in 2024." -- Hmmm...looks like Putin IS implementing the plan Democrats advocate for how our government would operate under Democrat control... no wonder Trump doesn't get along with Putin or the Democrat Leadership.

Columbus Ledger-Enquirer story: "CARACAS, VENEZUELA Government security forces and armed motorcycle groups loyal to Venezuela’s president forcefully blocked opposition lawmakers from entering the National Assembly building Wednesday, prompting them to hold their session on the outskirts of the crisis-torn nation’s capital." -- Hmmm... sorta explains why Democrats want to take guns away from law-abiding citizens here in the US.

In spite of the unwarranted distractions of the Democratic Party's impeachment proceedings, President Trump has still been able to elevate America's future by getting the trade deals with Mexico&Canada, and China signed, and has seen the stock market hit new ALL-TIMES highs in the DOW, the S&P 500, and the NASDAQ. You would think Democrats wished they had their wagons attached to Trump rather than PeLOUSY cal-BagLady.

Yesterday, I mentioned that Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam has received at least $364,500 in contracts and awards from the U.S. Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice between fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2019 to teach religious study programs for federal prison inmates. A BCer reminded me of Ron Reagan's political ad run in the October Democratic Debacle for his Freedom From Religion Foundation which said he was "alarmed by the intrusions of religion into our secular government. That’s why I’m asking you to support the Freedom From Religion Foundation, the nation’s largest and most effective association of atheists and agnostics working to keep state and church separate". Why isn't the Freedom From Religion Foundation campaigning against the Nation of Islam's contract with the US Prison/DOJ started during the Obama/Biden administration?

Good grief! Creepy Joe says we've got to train and educate our workers... Hey, Joe, you were VP for 8 years, and a Senator since 1973 before that...Why aren't our workers better trained and educated already?

In the ongoing battle about gender capability of the sexes between Bernie and Elizabeth WarHen, I tend to agree with Bernie..and WarHen..after all , both of them believe gender is simply what someone feels at the moment.
---
You know, if a Republican candidate wrote about sexual fantasies of women and 14 year old girls as a 30+ year old person, he would never get considered, much less be running for his Party's nomination to be the president of the USA.. Was hoping someone would ask Bernie to comment about his writings last night in the Democratic Debacle.
---
Wow! Did you see Elizabeth WarHen spurn Bernie on the stage when the Debacle was over.. she left him "hanging" when he extended his hand.. Not sure it it was all ill-will or that she had read Bernie's 1972 article on sexual fantasies...
---
Looking at "who;s left standing".. it appears that the Democratic Party platform of "Diversity" should be changed to "Perversity".

APPLE is wrong...just outright wrong in not cooperating with the DOJ's request to unlock the phone of that Saudi terrorist who killed American service personnel at Pensacola. The DOJ has not asked for the secret code to open all Apple Phones, just the one terrorist used.

If you stay on it long enough, you can get the City to respond... that advertising truck on Double Churches and Veterans has been moved off the City's right-of-way to private property.. Hope the City Bill's for repairing the ground where that truck sat for many months.

Just curious, after Dr Pepper bombarded us prior to the FBS Championship game about its final ad, did anyone actually see it? If it ran. I must have gone to the kitchen or bathroom.

Online story: "Delta Air Lines plans said it plans to pay out a record $1.6 billion in profit sharing to its employees this year. * The payout for the average employee will be equivalent to about two months of pay, said Delta CEO Ed Bastian. * The company expects to hire 6,000 to 7,000 people this year, and a total of about 25,000 over the next three or four years, Bastian said." -- Hmmm... two months of pay as bonuses... hiring around 25,000 ADDITIONAL employees in the next 3 or 4 years...don't you KNOW that Delta is counting on Trump continuing as our President.

Looks like Queen PeLOUSY cal-BagLady is going to put the impeachment charges up to a House vote on whether or not to actually send them over to the Senate... I don't understand why this step is necessary since the House has already voted on the charges, but just in case PeLOUSY gets the Democrats to help her "renege" on sending the charges to the Senate, all the Republican House members should vote unanimously to so!
---
From the "subterfuge?" department - Online headline/story: "House releases note on 'Biden case' from Giuliani associate * House Democrats have released a trove of documents they obtained from Lev Parnas, a close associate of President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, including a handwritten note that mentions asking Ukraine's president to investigate “the Biden case.” * The documents made public Tuesday come as Democrats prepare to send articles of impeachment to the Senate for Trump's trial. * The documents — including phone records, texts and flash drives turned over by Parnas — were sent to the House Judiciary Committee by three other House committees “to be included as part of the official record that will be transmitted to the Senate along with the Articles of Impeachment,” according to a statement. Some of the materials were made public while others were marked as sensitive." -- Excuse me, but this sounds a  "bit cozy"... as if these files were intentionally held back during the House Intelligence and Judiciary hearings so that Republicans could not ask questions and counter Democrat assertions. It makes it appear that there's a conspiracy within the Democrat Party to cover Biden's "quid pro quo".
---
From the "ludicrous" department - Online headline/story: "Joe Burrow and the LSU Tigers were scolded by a cop who didn't want them smoking cigars in the locker room after winning the national championship * A police officer tried to stop players from smoking in the locker room after LSU's 42-25 win over Trevor Lawrence and the previous undefeated Clemson Tigers. In fact, the cop went as far as threatening to arrest anyone smoking a cigar during the festivities." -- Good grief.. I support our law enforcement officers, but this one needs a vacation .. If anything, cigar smoke probably masked the much worse smells of a normal men's locker room!

Did anyone hear a question asked to the Democrat candidates at the Debacle as to WHY they are opposed to a security wall at our Southern Border?

Online story: "The Ukrainian natural gas company that prompted President Donald Trump to seek investigations from Ukraine's president over its hiring of former Vice President Joe Biden's son was hacked by Russian spies, security experts said in a report released Monday. * The Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Army, or GRU, "launched a phishing campaign targeting Burisma Holdings" as early as November 2019, according to cybersecurity firm Area 1 Security. * Area 1 called the Russian's effort "successful." It was not clear from the report what information if any was obtained." -- Hmm... sounds like a leverage opportunity for the Russians should Biden ever become our President... I guess the code words for this will be " the STEAL Dossier"...

Have you driven west on Bradley Park Drive and seen the traffic direction signage at the Roundabout? at the lane separation, one lane is marked for "right turn" (only), but the main lane is marked for left turn and thru traffic... mind you, there is no left turn from Bradley Park to head south on River Road. There's been a lame attempt to mark the proper route south around the Roundabout, but it is lame under normal conditions, and will be lamer at night or during rainy moments. Maybe Council needs to hold a "crash" meeting to get this resolved..

From the "when is justice not really justice?" department - Columbus Ledger-Enquirer headline/story: "Judge sentences four men in Columbus 2016 fatal shooting * T******s T****s, 23, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and three counts of burglary.

Defense attorney Tim Flournoy said T****s was jailed 22 months awaiting trial, and he will get credit for the time he already has served. * Q******e T****s, 22, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault. He was sentenced to nine years in prison. Represented by William Kendrick, he initially was arrested Sept. 1, 2016, and also will get credit for the time he has spent in jail. * T****n M******s S*****y, 21, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault.

Represented by Stacey Jackson, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison, with credit for the time he has spent in jail." -- A gentle man.. one living with a handicap, yet a quality asset to his family, to the community, and all who knew him.. was killed .. yet 4 of the men involved will be back on the street for sure, and the actual shooter probably will one day..our community loses both ways ... the loss of a gentle man, and the return to the streets of men who have taken his life.

From the "Bias? What bias?" department - Online headline: "President Trump gets raucous welcome at College Football Playoff title game * Yahoo Sports * PETE THAMEL" -- "raucus"? I guess some Yahoo Sports "journalist" would describe it that way.. Meanwhile, the rest of us saw a supportive and respectful welcome to our President and First Lady... as it should be..
 
---
I, too, hope for a complete Senate investigation of the impeachment charges... but I want all the Democrats sworn in to tell the truth under penalty of dismissal and/or jail time, and I want the Supreme Court to determine the exclusion of White House aides/advisers to Trump and any future presidents.

You know, Council might get more sympathy.. support even.. about buildings that need replacement if Council made sure there was effort to maintain what we got..but when someone goes into a bathroom at the Government Center on successive days and feels they are "filthy" (versus heavily used), then why vote for a new building? Oh.. speaking of Public Bathrooms, can taxpayers use the Queen TT Lounge under the 14th Street Martin Bridge as needed... or do we still need to get a key from her?

Before the City starts "investing" in infrastructure for the City Villager "mixed income" residential project, how about Mayor Skippy, a real estate expert, showing us some neighborhoods that are successful with "disproportionately priced" residents. Surely he can point out several examples where higher end homes escalate on value when subsidized homes are built next door...

Online headline: "From the "socialism will make conservatives out of our billionaires by November" department - Online headline/story: "Jeff Bezos slammed for Amazon donation to Australian wildfire relief: 'He is effectively donating 4.6 minutes of money' * Bezos: ""Our hearts go out to all Australians as they cope with these devastating bushfires," Bezos captioned the photo of a firefighter in the Australian countryside, "Amazon is donating 1 million AU dollars in needed provisions and services."" -- These was a typical liberal response "dagger" thrown at Bezos:
 
THIS IS WHY WE SHOULD EAT THE RICH!
 
Another claims Bezos makes over $78 Billion.. annually!:  "Jeff Bezos makes $149,340 a minute. So he is effectively donating 4.6 minutes of money. If he donated what he makes in a day, that would be $215 million, which would still not be enough."
 
Wonder if any of the socialists have asked Bloomberg, Steyer, Bernie or WarHen how much they have donated to Australia?"

From the "we knew Obama weaponized the IRS, but we just didn't know how deep he went" department - Online story: :"A former top Treasury Department official pleaded guilty Monday to conspiracy for leaking confidential banking reports associated with members of the Trump campaign, following her dramatic arrest in October 2018 as she toted a flash drive full of sensitive documents. * Natalie Edwards, 41, entered the plea in Manhattan federal court, where U.S. District Judge Gregory H. Woods set sentencing for June 9. Although the conspiracy charge carried a potential penalty of up to five years in prison, Edwards signed a plea deal with prosecutors that recommended a potential prison sentence of zero to six months. * Edwards was a senior adviser at Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, also known as FinCEN. Prosecutors said her crime began in October 2017 and continued for a year, with Edwards sending a BuzzFeed News reporter numerous Suspicious Activity Reports (“SARs”). Banks must file SARs with the Treasury Department when they spot transactions raising questions about possible financial misconduct such as money laundering, but federal law strictly limited their disclosure. * The SARs related to wire transfers made by Paul Manafort and other figures in former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, including campaign official Richard Gates, Maria Butina and the Russian Embassy. * "She said: 'You know, if I can't trust government officials to handle this, I think I can trust the media to handle this and to bring this to the attention of the American people,'" the lawyer said. * "I am sorry for what I have done and I apologize to you, your honor, and the court," Edwards said." -- "if I can't trust government officials to handle this, I think I can trust the media to handle this"? What BS! Another Obama holdover "taking one for the team"... but the apology is a jewel.. she didn't apologize for what she did,, she apologized for getting caught.. and it's not the Judge or the Court she needed to make her apologies.. she needs to beg forgiveness from God, President Trump, and the American citizens!

"Never Mind"..

Now it's a "death sentence" to take advantage of another teams laziness to implement occasional changes in their.. basically... "passwords".. for team communications! "Sign stealing" has been a part of baseball since it's inception and is probably worse at the Little League level than any other... making periodic changes is necessary.. just like we need to change our "passwords" on our home and office electronic devices to keep others from having unwarranted access to our information...who was really the blame for the 2016 DNC computer being "hacked".. the hacker, or the idiot chairman who set "Password" as his "password"?

In fact, the #rd Amendment prohibits government from forcing citizens to house people without the homeowners permission. Now, quick...how many houses has Steyer personally bought with HIS BILLION? For that matter, how many homeless has Oprah invited to share one of her 35 bedrooms in her California mansion?

Excuse me.. why all the interest by Democrats to stop the removal of "inactive" voters from the Voter registration list in GA? I'd say most voters interested.. or concerned.. vote whenever possible..Incidentally, GA had record numbers of voters in the last election, and still the names being stricken from the "list" were "inactive". Keeping those names who don't vote on the list just creates fraud opportunities.

From the "evils of bribery" department - Online story: "About half of the money the Democratic Party of Georgia raised in the second half of 2019 came from Fair Fight, the voting rights group started by former party gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams, according to campaign disclosures." -- Fancy that.. so Bloomberg's "donation" is an obvious attempt by Bloomberg to get more support from different political candidates.. especially incumbents in the Democratic Party.

I'm still baffled at why Stacey Abrams is a Democrat (other than none of her ideals fit in the category of "Good for America").. she such a fanatic on voter registration and history of fraud yet she forgets that it was not until the 60's when Republicans had enough candidates that it could even hold primaries.. or started winning many elections in GA.. In fact, down on 2nd Avenue here in Columbus, GA is a marker showing where local barber and minister Primus King attempted to vote in the 1944 Democratic primary election. Primus King was denied his right to vote, and forcibly removed from the building. King’s long legal battle to win his right to vote changed local and state voting laws and credited here as the first act in Georgia’s Civil Rights Movement.

Unfortunately, downtown is only catering to business employees, college students, and destination customers for food/entertainment. Adding parking meters back will only insure that families will not move back into the downtown area..meter fees and/or parking tickets are not acceptable when shopping for family needs.

From the "Poll truth, nothing but the poll truth" department - Online headline/story: "Poll: Most Americans disapprove of Trump approach to Iran * And, a net total of 94% of Democrats and 52% of Republicans said they are either somewhat concerned or very concerned about entering into another war in the Middle East. Only 43% of Americans approved how Trump is handling the situation with Iran. * The poll was conducted between January 10 and 11 and surveyed 525 US voters over the age of 18." -- "surveyed 525 US voters over the age of 18" over two days? Hmmm I guess 525 were all ABC could find working for them over the weekend.. You know, you really have to question a poll taken that includes 18 years olds considered "voters".. In January of 2020, there probably NO 18 year olds who have actually VOTED in any election other than their high school class officers races. I do know ABC did not poll me...

Queen PeLOUSY cal-BagLady claims she's concerned over a "cover up" in the Senate if she sends the impeachment charges over ...he real truth is that she's more concerned at the Senate "uncovering up" the House's bogus trial in which the accuser was never called on for testimony.

Another from the "poll truth, nothing but the poll truth" department - Online headline/story: "Putin, Trudeau and Merkel top Trump on trust internationally, new survey finds * When people from different countries were asked whether they had confidence in various national leaders to "do the right thing regarding world affairs," Trump did not fare well." -- Good grief.. It was a poll by PEW.. and Pew is POO.. Of course President Trump will not poll as well outside of this country.. other countries get the same headlines/stories our MSM-13 media spreads here, and none of the other country's media would publish crap about their country's leader like our media does.

The real truth of how other countries "feel" about Trump is more determined by the number of their people who dream to come to America versus the number of Americans who dream of moving to another country.

HuffPOOPOO "poo" headline: "Adam Schiff says House Intelligence Committee may subpoena John Bolton" -- "may"? as in "may be subpoenaed?" What make Schi** feel President Trump will allow his lawyer to be subpoenaed without the US Supreme Court's ruling on the Separation of Powers as defined in OUR Constitution?

Online story: "The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) has stunned court-watchers by selecting David Kris -- a former Obama administration lawyer who has appeared on "The Rachel Maddow Show" (Kris appeared on MSNBC's left-wing "The Rachel Maddow Show" in 2018 to offer a spirited defense of the FBI's FISA practices.) and written extensively in support of the FBI's surveillance practices on the left-wing blog Lawfare -- to oversee the FBI's implementation of reforms in the wake of a damning Department of Justice inspector general report last year. * "It’s hard to imagine a worse person the FISC could have chosen outside [James] Comey, [Andy] McCabe, or [Adam] Schiff,” Devin Nunes, CA-R, said. Speaking to Fox News contributor Sara Carter, Nunes added: “It’s a ridiculous choice. The FBI lied to the FISC, and to help make sure that doesn’t happen again, the FISC chose an FBI apologist who denied and defended those lies. The FISC is setting its own credibility on fire.” -- Good grief! How can FISA Court Judge Collyer even contemplate.. much less approve.. of an investigating entity led by one who was so involved with the actions and people of the Comey-era FBI?

In light of the Obama's recent purchase of a home on Martha's Vineyard, and since it's only accessible by boat or air, are we taxpayers getting stuck with all the ferry, boat, and/or helicopter tickets for the Obama's and their Secret Service entourage?

What planet is Michael Bloomberg from? He adores California as the example he envisions for all of America to emulate, and now says keeping coal mines open is akin to starting a war to keep our military busy.. you have to wonder whether ... or not ...if... he will take guns away from our soldiers.

From the "Bloomberg rants continue" department Online headline: "Bloomberg Dismisses Texas Hero, Insists It Wasn’t His “Job” to Have a Gun or Decide to Shoot" -- Bloomberg dismisses... hero"? It's a little deeper than that.. Bloomberg just DISSED the 2nd Amendment!

How can any story about the National Debt load not be focused on Obama? When Obama left office, the National Debt had risen from $10.6 Trillion to $19.9 Trillion .. an increase of nearly 88% .. but that's not the end of the Obama effect.. no, the $9.3 TRILLION in Debt Obama added also adds a nearly one-quarter of a trillion in interest debt... PER YEAR... in ongoing debt.. so... Obama not only left us $9.3 TRILLION MORE in Debt than when he entered office, he's left President Trump.. and US taxpayers.. with nearly another 3/4ths of a TRILLION in interest on that debt... so far.. so when Trump leaves office in 2029, the Obama "contribution" to OUR National Debt will be over $11 TRILLION!

Wow! The truth about the civilian airplane shot down by the Iran government is coming out....keep your fingers crossed that MSM-13 will feel guilty about not reporting the truth as about the Democrats ongoing coup attempt on America's true President!... but don't hold your breath...

You know.. I see pumped up MSM-13 interest in universal "Diversity and Inclusion" ... and when I see this, I also note that "white males" are being excluded in the diversity parameters.

After hearing Chris Matthew's describe dead Irani terrorist Soleimani in the same accolades he gave Princess Di and Elvis, I'm guessing that Chris Matthew's misspoke when he said he felt a "tingle in his leg" when Obama spoke...I think Matthew's felt a TINKLE on his leg.

From the "Bias? What bias?" department - Online NBC story: "A group of Iranian protesters demanded that the country’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei step down on Saturday after the government said its military had by mistake shot down a Ukrainian plane, killing all 176 people on board. * "Commander-in-chief (Khamenei) resign, resign," videos posted on Twitter showed hundreds of people chanting, in front of Tehran's Amir Kabir university." -- "a group"? "hundreds of people"? Good grief.. if there had been two or more protesters holding up a "Kill Trump" sign, NBC would have stated the crowd was in the "thousands".

Looks like NFL playoffs are entering the "nail-biting" stage.... for the NFL and TV networks! The Ravens now join the Patriots and the Saints on the sidelines, and we know either GB or the 49ers won't be in the Super Bowl, and he Titans may continue their exploits an knock out the Chiefs... Let's pray for a GB vs either Titans or Chiefs Super Bowl... their states all voted for Trump...

SCAM ALERT! - Online headline/story: "Amazon Prime members can score more than 70 percent off this $120 convertible vegan leather bag * Made of high quality PU (vegan) leather, the Amazon favorite comes in 17 color options and features shoulder, backpack and handheld straps for seamless conversion to the style of your preference." -- "high quality PU (vegan) leather"? What an advertising SCAM.. PU leather is not VEGAN.. it actually USES sub-layers of real leather as it's base for a plastic coating.
 
---
From the "just proves the DNC doesn't listen" department - Got this "survey via e-mail:
 
 
It asks some questions but does not accept your response UNLESS you send money.. looks like Democrats are still charging us a "poll tax" that the US Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional. Guess if DEMs win the White House and both chambers of the Legislative Branch, they will try to eliminate the Supreme Court, too.

Online headline: "Democratic House chair Adam Smith says he ‘misspoke’ in saying Pelosi should send Trump impeachment articles to Senate" -- "misspoke"...misspoke my ass! Smith spoke his own mind on how his District feels, and he was blasted by the Queen PeLOUSY Democratic House Leadership committee!

Online story: " In recent interviews promoting his new book, Kerry disclosed that he met with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif “ three or four times” since leaving his Secretary of State role to talk about the Iran nuclear agreement—which the U.S. has pulled out of but Iran, the EU, Russia, and China are still sticking to * This is a former secretary of state engaged with the world's largest state sponsor of terror and according to him, he was talking to them, he was telling them to wait out this administration." -- Let's face it...Unauthorized undermining of the efforts of foreign policy of a sitting president IS being a traitor! When you think about this, those Ukraine ambassadors who undermined President Trump's goals to push their own agenda were traitors, too!

Another myth about 2016 Hellary....she did not win a majority of the popular vote..she barely topped the 48% level, so she would not have won without a runoff had that been the format..in other words, nearly 52% of voters did not want Hellary to win.. A plurality is not the same as a majority...

Online story: "2020 Democratic presidential contender Michael Bloomberg said Monday California should serve as a model for the entire country based on its climate change, criminal justice reform, and gun control efforts. * “I think that California can serve as a great example for the rest of this country,” Bloomberg told supporters at the opening of his Angeles headquarters." -- Good grief! No wonder Bloomberg wants to be president.. if the rest of the country emulates California, the White House will be the only residence impervious to reside in that will stand up to the "sanctuary purge" of politicians.

From the "Jon Lovitz's ... YEAH.. THAT'S the TICKET" department - Online story: "Iran’s military admitted it “unintentionally” shot down a Ukrainian passenger plane hours after the country had launched ballistic missiles at Iraqi bases hosting U.S. troops, Iranian state TV reported. * State TV cited a military statement, The Associated Press reported. The statement blamed “human error." -- "unintentionally"? What... someone saw and thought the the launch button looked dirty and was cleaning it and it went off? Can you imagine what Democrats would say if President Trump said killing Soleimani was "unintentional... that he only was trying to fire a warning shot?

Wow! WE know Social media can change things ... sometimes for the good, too! Last fall, Panera Bread pulled French Onion Soup from it's menu...a social media outburst made Panera rethink its decision, and as of January 8th, it's back on the menu! Yes!

You know, if the Democrats try to get rid of the Electoral College and go by
popular vote instead, let's implement the old "county rule".. Take the popular vote of each county in the US and let each county cast one vote for all Federal elected positions...

-----------------------------
I'm beginning to believe that Queen PeLOUSY's real reason for not sending the House impeachment charges to the Senate is that she cannot get decent managers to present and defend the House charges in a manner the Senate or the Chief Justice will feel warrants serious consideration.
 
---
Queen PeLOUSY cal-BagLady just caved.. she said Friday afternoon she would send the House impeachment charges onto the Senate this week.. I'm really curious as to who among Democrats will accept the "management" positions to present these "Trumped up charges" to the Senate.
 
---
You know, I can see Queen PeLOUSY's legacy chiseled on her gravestone.... "Nancy Pelosi Lies ..here...too...."

Without a doubt, my BCers (Breakfast Clubbers) are the best people.. they are extra eyes and brainstormers that allow me to keep up with what's really going on. One even brought me a new Trump/Pence 2020 cap...not just any Trump/Pence cap, but one from the Trump store in Trump Tower in NYC. I am blessed.

What is it with the Democrats... citizens of Iran, Venezuela, and Hong Kong desire freedom, yet America's Democratic Party Leadership fights President Trump 's every effort to assist their plight. Hey... how about an immigrant swap out program! After careful vetting, we could swap true freedom loving immigrants from Iran, Venezuela, and Hong Kong for random elected Democrats who volunteer...nah.. wouldn't work..Democrats do not want to live under the laws they want here unless they were in the "more equal levels", and the patriotic, freedom loving citizens of Iran, Venezuela, and Hong Kong would not desert their friends and family by leaving them behind with our Democrats.

Laughable moment - I just got another e-mail from Cory Booker asking ME for a donation.. Hey Cory.. your Democrat voter base doesn't support your positions.. why do you think... ..uh.. feel.. I would?

Online headline: "California crews dismantle 3-story 'treehouse' homeless shelter as final phase of cleanup initiative begins" -- Wow! The state with more than half the homeless in the country just put 3 (or more) families of previously homeless back on the streets. California is certainly not a "sanctuary" for homeless people.

From the "hypocrisy.. thy name in liberalism" department - Online headline/story: " CNN pushes climate change in report on park removing signs saying glaciers would disappear by 2020 * A spokesperson for the Glacier National Park told CNN that the over decade-old signs were placed after the US Geological Survey (USGS) estimated that the existing glaciers at the Montana park would be depleted by 2020 due to climate change projections. * The USGS, however, told the park in 2017 that it was no longer expecting that the glaciers would disappear by the new decade "due to changes in the forecast model" but weren't removed until now because "tight maintenance budgets" prevented the removal of the signs." - Hmmm if a tight maintenance budget kept them from removing them earlier, why not just cover the last "0" with a decal of a "9" and wait until then to admit they were wrong? Wait a minute.. what am I talking about! Dems will NEVER admit they are wrong.. here's "wrong" looking straight at them and they won't even say .. "oooops..my bad".

Online headline: "AOC in PETA doghouse after adopting purebred French bulldog instead of setting example with rescue pup" -- Good grief.. PETA will back off before the primary.. because.. PETA members, too, are all "yellow dog Democrats".

From the "election fraud" department - Online headline/story: "AOC riles Dems by refusing to pay party dues, bankrolling colleagues' opponents * Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has already topped the fundraising charts in her short time in Congress, but the liberal darling won’t donate a cent of her millions to Democrats' House campaign organization -- a position that has rankled some of her colleagues * Instead, Ocasio-Cortez is building her own fundraising operation for fellow progressive candidates to bypass the official Democratic Party infrastructure. Already, she's actively funding primary challengers to oust certain Democratic colleagues. * Another Democrat was less diplomatic: “Deadbeat Cortez should pay her bills,” complained the Democratic source. “She’s always whining about people paying their fair share and here she is leaving her friends with the bill.”" -- You know.. this demonstrates a real issue.. a real problem with election finance regulations... No candidate should be allowed to donate to another political candidate! It makes for a "by-pass" for deep pocket donors to channel more than allowable campaign donations to certain candidates..
 
Major example.. and it goes on all the time:
Mega-Donor "A" sends the maximum to Candidate "1".. then Mega-Donor "A" goes to Candidate 2 (who doesn't have a real challenger) and asks them to take another "maximum donation" and donate it to Candidate "1" this year , and then next year, Mega-Donor "A" will send another Donation to Candidate 2. Meanwhile Mega-Donor "A" has doubled the maximum amount to Candidate "1" for this re-election year.

While Tom Steyer has been a real disappointment for me as a candidate for the Democrat nomination, obviously Steyer has begun to click with the Democrat voters..his poll numbers have surged in South Carolina..my guess is because he's mentioned he's for term limits, and Democrat voters are seeing this as the only way to rid their party of PeLOUSY, Schiff, Schumer, Nadler, Waters, and Lee.
