Online headline/story: "Ben Carson: America Needs to 'Grow up' and Stop 'Being Offended by Everything' * “We’ve reached a point in our society where we dissect everything and try to ascribe some nefarious notion to it,” Carson said. “We really need to move away from that. We need to move away from being offended by everything, of going through history and looking at everything, of renaming everything. I mean, think about the fact that some of our universities, some of our prestigious universities, have a relationship with the slave trade. Should we go and rename those universities?" -- Amen, Ben!

I'm pleased that Ford Motor Company is advertising its American heritage and national pride...but I wish they would at least mention..if not give major credit to President Trump for his leadership in creating a stronger incentive to not only build in America, but also expand here versus Ford's original plans to expand in foreign locations.

Seriously... how can the US Supreme Court allow one president "enact" a law via an Executive Order ...and without Congress confirming it, then deny another president's Executive Order countering the previous President? Of course in this "ruling", the US Supreme did not... repeat... DID NOT actually uphold Obama's Executive Order (as is implied/Misinformed by every MSM-13 media source); the SCOTUS, wants more specifics from President Trump... but still, how can one personal president's agenda be forced upon American citizens when the voters of this country voted AGAINST the old administration's agenda in the next election?

You know.. John Bolton's book "revealings" would have some credibility had he shown up to Congress and swore to them under oath, rather than be presented in a compilation of what must be described as the unconfirmed hearsay, innuendo, and vitriol of a disgruntled ex-employee..

Romans 12:19 - Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." -- Hmm this seems to have been replaced by mob rule and Media lynchings!

From the "when you think about this, it's probably the truest statement a Democrat has EVER made" department - Online headline: "Sen. Tim Kaine: ‘U.S. Didn’t Inherit Slavery, We Created it’ -- Of course, an educated person's first response would be to scoff.. roll eyes, and shake his/her head.. but.. after you think more about it, you will realize the the Socialist-Democratic Party HAS re-created slavery in the US.. it started with LBJ's "War on Poverty" (currently our longest ongoing "war"), and has been reinforced through the public education curriculum...

Following a suggestion, I went to the "Black Lives Matter" website and clicked on "Donate".. Whoa! I was informed that my donation would actually be sent to "ActBlue Charities".. and informed that "ActBlue Charities" is a 501 (c) 3 IRS approved organization.. Wait a minute.. ActBlue's sole purpose is to contribute to Democratic Party candidates.. if you doubt this just check out former Columbus and now ex-Senate candidate Mayor Queen TT Tom-LYING-son's donation reports (https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/?committee_id=C00701383&two_year_transaction_period=2020&data_type=processed)
Now, how can ACTBLUE be a 501 (c) 3 entity when donors can deduct their donations, yet the Supreme Court has ruled that political donations are NOT tax deductible!

From the "hmmm.. and what's next?' department - Online headline: "Columbus, Ohio removing Christopher Columbus statue at City Hall" -- Hmmm.. and what will the Socialist-Democratic Party officials rename Columbus, OH..." Karl Marxburg"... or something more generic.. like "Non-Indigenousville" ?
 
---
You know.. with all the political turmoil/chaos going on .. it's almost strange that MSM-13 has not sought out.. much less reported... the positions of Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam

From the "well, then let's use Biden's words, "you ain't black" as well" department - Online headline/story: "Biden launches first major advertising campaign in battle against Trump * The ads will be positive in nature, using Biden's own words to portray "a voice of clarity and moral authority that the country desperately needs," the campaign said." -- Good grief! "moral authority"? The whole premise behind the Socialist agenda is that the "more equals" are the only authority that n=matters.. God does not exist in Socialism..
 
---
From the "poll truth.. nothing but the poll truth" department - Online "headLIE": "Poll: Americans not buying White House spin on coronavirus" -- "Americans"? Hmmm are they South, Central,.. or other undocumented people in American... no contention is made that the "Americans" are US citizens..

Online AJC headline/story: "Bourdeaux gets key backup in bid to flip Georgia 7th * Cheri Bustos of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said Thursday that Bourdeaux was tapped to the group’s “Red to Blue” program that promises to steer resources to the Gwinnett-based district. " -- "promises to steer resources to the Gwinnett-based district"? This is "what's wrong"! Promises usually come with obligations... and in this case, the obligation will be to listen to Queen Pelosi, not your District voters. There really needs to be restrictions on non-district residents trying to influence political elections... period!

Online story: "SEATTLE — The largest labor group in the Seattle area has expelled the city’s police union, saying the guild representing officers failed to address racism within its ranks." -- Seriously? Charges of Police racism can only exist if 911 calls, and personnel deployment are decided according to the races of the criminals and the law enforcement officers who are called to handle the situation..

From the "Fred Sanford: "It's the big one! I'm coming to see you Elizabeth!" department - Online AJC headline/story: "Jobless claims down for 11th straight week — to 1.5 million * About 1.5 million laid-off workers applied for U.S. unemployment benefits last week, a historically high number, even as the economy increasingly reopens and employers bring some people back to work. * The latest figure from the Labor Department marked the 11th straight weekly decline in applications since they peaked at nearly 7 million in March as the coronavirus shut down much of the economy and caused tens of millions of layoffs and job losses. The decline was much smaller, though, than in recent weeks, falling just 58,000. * The total number of people receiving unemployment aid also fell slightly, reflecting the return of many to their old jobs." -- Unbelievable! A story about the country that rings of news rather than bias...

Columbus L-E "headLIE": "Justices reject Trump repeal of Obama immigration order" --
Hmm.. the US Supreme did not... repeat... DID NOT actually uphold Obama's Executive Order (as is implied/Misinformed by every MSM-13 media source); the SCOTUS, wants more specifics from President Trump... but still, how can one personal president's agenda be forced upon American citizens when the voters of this country voted AGAINST the old administration's agenda in the next election?

On a local Columbus, GA issue...Why is it necessary for "gun permits" in Muscogee County, GA to be "by appointment only", and appointments are booked up into September, and no new applications can be booked until July 5th?  I get the "Soc-Dem government's aspect".. slow down the 2nd Amendment rights of patriots, and especially Soc-Dem government's  desire to get past July 4th when national patriotism is of overall interest, but why the appointments? Obviously, the applicants are law-abiding, so they would have no issue with wearing safety masks during the process.

I really am seeing why the Socialist-Democratic Party pushes its determined desire to dumb-down the education system, and re-write history... It's so the Antifa will believe that their target should be the government that operates openly for all American's rights, rather than against the oligarchical Socialist-Democratic Party agenda.

When will Black Lives Matter realize it is being "used"... George Soros feels "he owns them". This year, Soro's Open Society Foundations are on record with giving Black Lives Matter $33 million dollars this year alone.  (Hmm wonder if any of the frontline BLM followers are getting their fair share?) I also wonder if followers have realized Soros is using them to achieve a Socialist-Democrat government in the US.. THROUGH racism?

Good grief! Land-o-Lakes really started something when it removed its "Native American Maiden" from it's butter products.. now makers of "Aunt Jemima Syrup" and "Uncle Ben's Rice" are replacing their images and names to "correct racism"... "Correct racism?" I grew up with Aunt Jemima loving Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben! I admired Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben! They made and represented great stuff and made me happy. Then I learned that the maker of "Mrs Butterworth's Syrup" is also removing her image because "they" feel she does not represent a "loving grandmother" of today. I feel deflated..I remember  my "loving grandmothers" and the times they spent with us in their kitchens making us "special pancakes" and smothering them with Land-o-Lakes butter and  Aunt Jemima syrup... Hmmm.. will "Log Cabin Syrup" change it's name because a conservative gay political group by that name supports Republicans? Oh.. and did I tell you, I hated that white line on the buses...

Hey, Columbus golfing seniors.. Fore Kids Columbus needs some more volunteers so we can open on Wednesdays.. and maybe Mondays as well.. contact stephanie@abmcol.com if you're interested.. or just curious at the moment.. light shop duties but free golf is included for you..

Columbus L-E story: "The U.S. has spent more than half of $3 trillion in economic rescue funds passed by Congress – with little of the oversight intended to ensure the money goes to the right places." -- Hmmm...
This Bolton book... it's being footballed around to boost book sales.. mainly because once the word is out that Bolton is "full of it", nobody will be interested in reading it.

Hmmm.. interesting... the Seattle Cap Hill Autonomous Zone... CHAZ... has changed it's name to "CHOP... Cap Hill Occupied Protest".. "Chop" is now emblazoned everywhere.. wonder if they even considered how "racist" and "insensitive" Native Americans feel "chop" is? You know, if baseball was being played now, instead of being in Seattle,  some of the "CHOP" protesters would be protesting in the Atlanta Braves ballpark.
 
---
Online headline: "Dick Durbin apologizes to Tim Scott for 'token' comment on police reform bill" -- Good grief..can you imagine the blow up if Durbin was a Republican and Scott was a Soc-Dem, and a Durbin called a Scott's bill a "token" one?

From the "you can see the direction re-writing history is taking today's public education students" department - Online headline: "Teen Vogue slammed for tweeting praise of Karl Marx" -- Good grief!

AJC headline: "SOME POLICE SKIP SHIFTS AFTER OFFICERS CHARGED" -- Hmmm...Skipped shifts? I imagine skipping the night time shifts will continue to be a favorite...

AJC headline: "Couple’s $120M sets higher bar for HBCU donations * Morehouse, Spelman, United Negro College Fund to get $40M each." -- Hmmm... I guess President Trump's leadership in programs to help Black education is sprouting new growth!

In today's (June 18th) "Dilbert" comic sections, Dogbert "Nailed It! Dogbert summarized the Soc-Dem's program to continue suffering in America for the near future: "Don't touch anything. Don't move around. And don't talk to anyone... EVER!"

A few weeks ago, I mentioned how the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer was having such revenue issues that it was soliciting "donations" to keep it viable... I suggested that the L-E do a better job informing Columbus.. in other words, "Earn it!. Now the AJC is running similar ads.. What do the Columbus and Atlanta newspapers trying to do.. convince legislators that they are just as worthy at NPR and PBS so taxpayers must be penalized to keep them in business?

AJC headline: "Senate plan slashes school spending * Committee proposes $1 billion reduction for K-12, but furloughs would not be as severe as expected * Hey, Columbus GA taxpayers.. we are going to have to stay diligent in watching how the MCSD uses SPLOST money...The "current" education budget uses 85% of the legislative directed funds for "salaries&benefits", so any cuts will be made from maintenance projects, and the "School-powers-that-be" are going to be eying that SPLOST revenue in a lustful manner.

Columbus L-E story: "The U.S. has spent more than half of $3 trillion in economic rescue funds passed by Congress – with little of the oversight intended to ensure the money goes to the right places." -- Hmmm--- so.. Queen Pelosi insists on controlling the purse strings of our nation, but she's not interested in safeguarding the purse..
 
---
Columbus L-E "headLIE": "Georgia Supreme Court vacates Columbus man’s murder conviction" -- Good grief.. read the story L_-E before conniving a headline! The story says: "The ruling does not grant Redding a new trial, but sends the case back to Columbus for Peters to provide the facts and justification the Supreme Court demands."

From the "bad for the goose, bad for the gander" department - Online headline/story: "Washington state mayor now calls BLM protests ‘domestic terrorism’ after her home vandalized * A Washington state mayor was fine with the Black Lives Matter protests that followed George Floyd’s death in police custody. * But that was until vandals damaged her home, according to reports. * Now, Mayor Cheryl Selby of Olympia refers to the protests as “domestic terrorism,” according to The Olympian." -- Gosh.. you would think the Olympia Mayor would feel the same as the liberal San Francisco woman who has since apologized to the criminal for reporting his vandalism on her home...

Hey, all of Columbus, GA! Well, all "current residents" who get a monthly bill from the Columbus Water Works.. You've received a 16 page, full color report on the quality of water .. and other pertinent information... this week. Wasn't it "wonderful"? Well, I can't say I've read it for any other reason other than to point out that whatever it cost for them to print and mail is added into the costs WE have to pay to get the water... Think about it.. somebody was paid to put this together this, and the US Post Office doesn't deliver it for free.. and (even though the City's Tax Database is still "down" for the past 4 weeks due to some malware situation) we know that there are better than 55,000 "current residents" who were mailed one, and at a guessed minimum cost of $1.00-$1.50 per copy, that's in the neighbor hood of $55,000..-$82.500.00 in expenses added into our water bill. Hey, Council.. the Mayor is ON THE WATER BOARD.... next year, hold him responsible for just posting the results online, and include the website address somewhere on our monthly bills so we'll know where to look it up if... IF.. we are so concerned.. Oh... how about telling the Water Bill payers exactly how much this DID cost.. and let us know..
 
Addendum: Just saw this "report" as a "banner ad" on the Columbus Ledger-on-Line website! This is a blatant waste of users money! Somebody's head needs to ROLL.

From the "I've always heard that 'pigs don't fly'...." department -- Online Columbus L-E headline/story: "Can dogs smell the coronavirus? Company training new COVID-detection dogs * Dogs can sniff out drugs and bombs, or find someone lost in the woods. They can even smell when someone is about to have a seizure. Now, dogs with specially trained snouts could also be enlisted into the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. * A British organization that specializes in medical detection dogs is training six to prove that well-trained canines could be a reliable first line of defense to screen people for COVID-19." -- Good grief.. by the time enough dogs could be "trained" to do this Covid-19 will be history, and Covid-20, 21, or 22 will be around.. This is certainly a situation.. like pigs... that Covid dogs don't fly!
 
On the other hand, some pertinent Columbus news story did NOT make the Columbus L-E because this story took up space..

From the "mail-in voting is definitely NOT the right direction" department - Online AJC headline/story: "Election workers struggle to finish counting Georgia absentee ballots * A week after Georgia’s primary, tens of thousands of absentee ballots haven’t yet been counted, stalling complete results and leaving some races in limbo. * The sheer number of absentee votes, a Georgia record of 1.1 million, caused much of the holdup. Election workers must sort ballot envelopes, open them, separate ballots and scan votes. * On absentee ballots where voters didn’t color in ovals, bipartisan panels have to review them by hand and decide on voters’ intent. * In some cases, lightly marked ballots didn’t register votes at all. Those marked with a check mark or “X” instead of a bubble were most likely to go undetected by the scanners. " -- Well... here you have it.. the second worst case scenario for general mail-in voting... the first? Having "ballot handlers" responsible for deciding what a voter's "intent" was, and having a "ballot handler" deciding whether to scan the ballot or not! Re-instate the earlier limitations as to who gets to use an absentee ballot... one particular rule being that the voter must request it themselves! This would... well, COULD... eliminate nursing/long-term care facilities from applying for/and handling such ballots.

Have waited so I could "digest" what the US Supreme Court decided...I'm still pondering.... I do not understand how an undocumented "want" or "whim" has the status of a Chromosome determinable condition of gender.

Online story: "An investigation into claims that three New York City Police officers may have been intentionally poisoned while dining at a Shake Shack restaurant in lower Manhattan has found that “no criminality” occurred, police said Tuesday. * The officers were dining at the restaurant Monday evening when ”they discovered that a toxic substance, believed to be bleach, had been placed in their beverages,” the city’s police union said, later adding that they had been “apparently poisoned.” * The officers were dining at the restaurant Monday evening when ”they discovered that a toxic substance, believed to be bleach, had been placed in their beverages,” the city’s police union said, later adding that they had been “apparently poisoned.” * The incident, however, may have the result of cleaning solution not being properly removed from a shake machine, "--- "may have the result of cleaning solution not being properly removed from a shake machine"? Gimmee a break! Are we supposed to believe that residue our a routine cleaning would have enough concentration to render 3 adults sick?

From the "how MSM-13 spreads misinformation" department - Online "headLIE": "Coronavirus hotspots flare in Arizona and Florida; Oregon church linked to outbreak" -- You know.. there will be people who WANT to believe such crap who will take the message in this "headLIE" and spread it like gospel that some Oregon church is responsible for flare-ups of Covid-19 in FL and AZ... and as to the "flare-ups".. maybe not ALL, but most of the "increases" are because more and more readily available testing is happening.
 
---
In earlier comments, I mentioned that the Covid-19 Relief checks should be screened against arrests for rioting and looting... now that another round of checks is being discussed, it would be even more important to check on arrests than ever.. We know many of the protesters are being bused in and "paid" from liberal organization so they shouldn't be paid twice or get unemployment checks.

Local Columbus, GA Update: Though nothing public has been posted in the newspaper that I've seen, a reliable source of information says there are plans to "sell" all the properties of a certain local Authority Director that are delinquent on two plus years of back property taxes..... we'll see...
 
---
While I think that if the City of Seattle would simply cut off cellphone and Wifi services, and shut down Starbucks stores in the area, the protesters would ditch their hostage community within a few hours, but have heard a couple of other strategies that would work as well.. one is to require people wanting in... or OUT... provide a passport to leave/enter the US; a second would set up a Duties Office where all food headed into the complex would have to be quarantined for two weeks before being allowed.

From the "once again, Soc-Dem blather while Trump acts" department - Online AJC headline: "Trumps signs order to boost police training" - Yep.. like so many social issues, Trump gets the job done while libs/Soc-Dem's pompously strut around looking for a camera/microphone they can pontificate in front of.

AJC headline/story: "Equal Justice Initiative research adds 2,000 lynchings from Reconstruction * New report includes 300 acts of violence, 13 deaths in Georgia. * The report documents more than 300 acts of violence and 13 deaths in Reconstruction-era Georgia, including mass lynchings in McDuffie County in east Georgia and in the south Georgia city of Camilla. Both violent episodes were designed to terrorize African Americans and prevent them from voting. * The report, “Reconstruction in America,” shows how whites used racial violence to reassert white supremacy while stripping away the political, economic and civil gains African Americans had hoped would provide them with a brighter future for them and their children." -- Yep... more historical misdeeds .. atrocities .. committed by Democrats.. sadly, the Soc-Dems of today haven't changed anything but their tactics and rhetoric.
 
---
AJC headline: "House will vote on making D.C. a state * Trump’s handling of protests in capital galvanizes movement." -- Good grief.. for one, Washington, DC was set up NOT to be a state. but granting statehood is not something on House of Congress can grant.. Besides, the Socialist-Democrats have already created a "state" in Washington, DC... it's already a constant state of CHAOS!

AJC headline: "Poll: Americans are unhappiest they’ve been in nearly 50 years * NATIONWIDE SURVEY * Associated Press" -- Good grief! This basically corresponds with anytime America suffers from return of power of the House to Democrats..

Have looked for them, but somehow May's unexpected upward surge in Retail Sales doesn't fit the agenda of MSM-13's headlines and reports..

You know... the vandalism and protests of Civil War era memorials probably has done more to bring them into public eye than ignoring them which is what the general public does.. I just wish the protesting elements would realize that it was Democrats who raised them..and protester efforts would have greater results by removing Soc-Dems from office via the voting process.

From the "gimmee a break!" department - HuffPOOPOO "poop" online headline story: "Dr. Sanjay Gupta: Trump rally is ‘worst-case scenario’ for spread of coronavirus * CNN’s chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta explained why President Donald Trump’s upcoming indoor rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, this weekend is “the worst-case scenario” for the spread of the coronavirus." -- Good grief.. He's CNN's resident Trump-basher.. what else is he going to say! Of course, 1000s of protesters rioting in the streets is NO concern...
 
---
From the "Bias? What bias?" department - There were protests, violence, even shootings in New Mexico over a historic statue... and it wasn't even an American from the past! It was about a Spanish conquistador of the late 16th Century who brutalized Native Americans.. What was really interesting was that the article did not mention race/heritage of the protesters nor the defenders... and for that matter, not of the police responders either.

WRBL-3 headline/story: "DA elect: Mark Jones says major changes coming: ‘Obviously, there is some dysfunction in the office’ * Nearly a week after his surprising victory in the Chattahoochee Judicial Circuit district attorney’s race, Mark Jones is working on the transition to his new job. * Julia Slater has held Muscogee County’s top law enforcement office for the last 12 years. She’s out in January and Jones is in. * “I don’t see how changing just one person at the top is going to affect the change that we need,” he told News 3 in an interview Monday afternoon. * That means staff. " -- Whoa! I can hope Jones means that he feels that he needs staff that will go for the heavier charges so violent people are not back on the streets after a couple weeks/months. One interesting aspect is that Jones might never take control of the DA's office.. if he's convicted of the current felony charges before January, we'll have to have a Special Election.

I'm so glad I had already mention I was going to move-on from T-mobile after 24 years of loyalty. Yesterday.. T-mobile lost it's Nationwide Network (according to a North Columbus T-mobile spokesperson, about 1:30, and we didn't get service back until 10:22 last night. The T-mobile spokesperson said that a single "switch" failure in Atlanta was the culprit.. I'm sorry, but that cannot be the whole truth.. Surely, no single Network component can control a nationwide network! Sadly, this opens up the possibilities of where an enemy can pinpoint sabotage attacks on our communication abilities at very vital times. I challenged the T-mobile spokesperson... I said even though I haven't had to use one, I keep generators and inverters at home for situations that my power goes out. Surely, T-mobile should have back-up capabilities!

Is Gov Fredo Cuomo become permanently constipated? After minimally re-opening NY, he's threatening to shut down again because he doesn't feel the SERFS are voluntarily following his safety mandates. Where's Madam LeFarge when Cuomo needs to be ousted!

Online headline: "De Blasio says NYC needs $7 billion in federal aid or ‘kiss the recovery goodbye’" -- Hey.. a better solution would be for Trump to spend the $7 Billion where it will actually help cities/states that try to run efficient "ships", and help NYC voters find a better "Captain" to theirs.

From the "Bias? What bias?" department - Online AJC "headlLIE"/story: "Georgia Democrats set new primary turnout record, outpacing GOP voters * The latest results, still being tallied as absentee ballots are counted, show Democratic turnout in Georgia surpassed 1,060,851 – the previous high-mark set during the 2008 presidential primary when then-U.S. Sen. Barack Obama trounced Hillary Clinton. Republicans lagged behind, with more than 950,000 votes in last week’s contest. But there was no competitive statewide contest on the ballot, since President Donald Trump had already captured his party’s nomination and U.S. Sen. David Perdue faced no primary opposition. " -- Good grief.. The Soc-Dems had barely 10% more voters when few Republican primaries were even on ballots down the line from the federal primary.. It basically meant there were no reasons for most Republicans to even go to the poll! Unfortunately, the lack of contested Republican primaries also allowed a SPLOST Referendum get approved in Columbus, GA because most voters voted in the Soc-Dem primaries.

From the "How can this be?" department - Online story: "More than 70 U.S. universities that received funding from the Chinese government did not disclose those donations to the Department of Education, prompting concerns from lawmakers and watchdogs about Beijing and the Communist Party's growing influence on American college campuses. * The newspaper reached out to 75 higher learning institutions that failed to report their foreign funding to the federal government. Of those they reached out to, only 22 responded. Most said they did not disclose the donations because their annual receipts fell below the $250,000 threshold. * Rachelle Peterson, director of policy at the National Association of Scholars, called the lack of accountability "alarming" and said the $250,000 limit is "much too high of a threshold." * Gifts of money at much smaller amounts can be very swaying over a college or university, especially the humanities (departments) which traditionally have lower funding," she said" -- You know.. with all the ruckus about celebrity parents buying their children "entry" into a school, why aren't the receivers of these Chines "bribes" persecuted beginning NOW!

From the "protests have gone nuts!" department - Online headline/story: "Petition to remove Boston statue of Lincoln standing over a slave garners thousands of signatures" * The petition calling for the removal of the Emancipation Memorial statue, which shows Lincoln towering above a freed slave kneeling at his feet with shackles on his wrists, has received more than 7,800 signatures spearheaded by Dorchester native Tory Bullock. * “It's supposed to represent freedom but instead represents us still beneath someone else," Bullock writes in the petition he started last Thursday. * The statue is a replica of the original statue in Washington, D.C. funded by money donated by former slaves and designed by Charlestown native Thomas Ball." -- Good grief! It's bad enough dealing with issues that people know they want chaos more than solutions, but dealing with people who don't have a CLUE about what they know is insane!

Online story: "The Democratic chairman (Eliot Engel, D-NY) of the House Foreign Affairs Committee has landed the backing of Majority Whip James Clyburn of South Carolina – the third-ranking Democrat in the chamber – as well as House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff of California and fellow New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, who chairs the House Democratic Caucus. * The support comes as Engel’s feeling the heat from primary challenger Jamaal Bowman, a middle school principal who recently landed the endorsements of two of the biggest progressives in Congress, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York." -- I tell you what.. I usually don't get involved in other state's business, but in the case, I cannot NOT support someone who's opponent is being endorsed by A Dam SChi** from CA-razy.

It's happened.. and it should scare every law abiding citizen.. regardless of race... to death... Two Minnesota law enforcement officers were shot at.. one was hit... and neither returned fire on an active Black shooter! Good grief.. what if the shooter had 100's of rounds of ammo.. and kept firing without law enforcement trying to end it? How many people could have died by a stray bullet? Lew abiding Minnesotans are in jeopardy!

Marie Harf, a "Fox Contributor" ...also known as Makesme Barf, while trying to criticize President Trump's upcoming rally in Tulsa, said coronavirus has a mind of its own....hmmm...well, that's one thing that Soc-Dem spinmeisters and Soc-Dem Congresspersons don't have... everyone of them repeat and recite whatever Queen Pelosi tells them to say.
 
---
"Justice"...well, the cry for it...is all too often one-sided... justice does not belong exclusively just for criminals ... victims need justice, citizens need justice, police officers and their families need justice....EVERYBODY needs justice...Now, the first step towards justice for all is for all to stop committing crimes.

From the "what is the Socialist-Democrats' REAL concern" department - Online headline/story: "Trump rally called ‘dangerous move’ in age of coronavirus * “I’m concerned about our ability to protect anyone who attends a large, indoor event, and I’m also concerned about our ability to ensure the president stays safe as well," Dr. Bruce Dart told the newspaper."." -- Hmmm.. you know.. if Soc-Dems are concerned about anything, it's that the rally will blow the draw attention to how strong President Trump's leadership/support really is! All other possibilities.. diminished crowd and/or Trump's health would be to Soc-Dems advantage .. but having the rally be a super-success exposes the Soc-Dems strategy to derail our economy further.

I've been a T-mobile user since 1996 when it was PowerTel... I'm about to change...T-mobile made a big-to-do about stopping ads on he Tucker Carlson Show because Carlson commented about the looting & rioting detracting from the issue of George Floyd's death. T-mobile is entitled to do as it wishes, but T-mobile "piled on" by trying to make Tucker Carlson evil when he just pointed out "the elephant in the room". T-mobile could have just walked away from Carlson's Show...but T-mobile just HAD to grind salt into Carlson. .. T-mobile.. you lost me.

One of the Seattle antifa "demands" is free college... the Socialist-Democrats eagerly encourage them...but for a different reason...Socialist-Democrats want free college as an avenue to continue breast-feeding their agenda through liberal professors.

Socialist-Democrats should be shaking if any bothered to watch... President Trump spelled out to graduates that they gave a commitment to our country to stand strong for the needs of our country regardless...REGARDLESS.. of what. critics say... I don't believe any of the graduates felt President Trump was challenging them to anything that he doesn't believe in personally.

Another powder keg situation in Atlanta exploded Friday/Saturday.. The Police Chief "resigned" and one of the police officers involved was fired and the other was placed on Administrative Duty. Mayor Bottoms said, "“I do not believe that this was a justified use of deadly force ". Funny though, Mayor Bottoms did not say she believed that burning down the Wendy's Store was unjustified.. and an Attorney for the dead man's family said, "“You can’t have it both ways in law enforcement," Stewart said. “You can’t say a Taser is a nonlethal weapon ... but when an African American grabs it and runs with it, now it’s some kind of deadly, lethal weapon that calls for you to unload on somebody.” You know... lawyers should be arrested when they tell a half-truth in public.. the truth part is about the Taser not being a lethal weapon.. but.. when a criminal has wrestled it away and could Tase the police officer and disable him/her and take the officer's gun.. then the situation changes immediately.

From the "where's the US's Socialist-Democrats outrage!" department - Online (Time Magazine) headline/story:"'It Was As if We Weren’t Human.' Inside the Modern Slave Trade Trapping African Migrants * The trade in human beings thrives on the road to Europe * By Aryn Baker | Photographs by Lynsey Addario for TIME * Slavery may seem like a relic of history. But according to the U.N.’s International Labor Organization (ILO), there are more than three times as many people in forced servitude today as were captured and sold during the 350-year span of the transatlantic slave trade. What the ILO calls “the new slavery” takes in 25 million people in debt bondage and 15 million in forced marriage. As an illicit industry, it is one of the world’s most lucrative, earning criminal networks $150 billion a year, just behind drug smuggling and weapons trafficking. “Modern slavery is far and away more profitable now than at any point in human history,” says Siddharth Kara, an economist at the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy..

Online AJC headline: "Election fiasco shows flaws in voting system * Problems with voting machines mirrored issues during trial run" - Good grief! I voted in person on June 9th.. I entered the polling place this year the same way I have for decades.. ID in hand. Instead of having to fill out a ballot form by hand, I only had to give the first poll official my driver's license, and he put it on a scanning device and then turned a tablet screen around to face me that gave me the 3 ballot option (Democrat/Republican/Non-Partisan). I touched the appropriate screen option, the poll official turned the tablet back around, encoded a digital ballot card, and handed that and my license back to me. I then went to the voting staging area and was directed to an open station where I inserted my encoded ballot card. The screen popped up the ballot I asked for, and I proceeded to "touch" the screen icons to express my desires. When I finished, I got a review of my choices, hit another screen icon that sent my voting info to a printer, and my choices were printed out. I then took my encoded ballot card to another poll official who took it and directed me to insert my paper ballot into a secured scanner. Process complete! The only things f=different this year than last was I didn't have to fill-out a form by hand to get my ballot, I got a printed out copy of my ballot, and I got to feed it personally into a scanner. How the hell is this confusing/flawed to anyone! Well, to anyone who's not trying to find a way to manipulate the ballot count. There are no "flaws" in the procedure.. maybe it's just a "thwarted attempt" at trying to do something fraudulent!

From the "Total BS!" department - Online headline/story: "Atlanta police killing of Rayshard Brooks ruled a homicide * Surveillance footage appears to show Brooks running away from the officers with a stun gun that he’d taken from one of them, * While running, Brooks appeared to turn around and point the weapon at police, * At that point, the Atlanta officer reaches down and retrieves his weapon from his holster, discharges it, strikes Mr. Brooks there on the parking lot, and he goes down.”" --when a criminal has wrestled it away and could Tase the police officer and disable him/her and take the officer's gun.. then the situation changes immediately... and the video shows that Brooks not only "pointed" the Taser at him, but that Brooks FIRED the Taser gun AT the officer, I'm sorry Rayshard Brooks is dead.. but he was also a danger to the public behind the wheel of his car in a drunken condition.

Government not only wastes too much money, government also looks for more and new ways to so! Was reading about colleges ...which haven't had students for months, spraying down walls, seating, ceilings and any other surface they can think of to make sure no Covid-19 crap is still around. Good grief! The virus dies by itself after a couple of days so why would any educated feel some germs would still be living months later?

Online headline/story: "Dem congresswoman pushes back on Trump's claim that he’s done more for black Americans than any president other than Lincoln * Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., who chairs the Congressional Black Caucus, countered Trump’s boast by saying that while the president may have put his signature on legislation from Congress that helps African-Americans, he has also pushed policies and made statements that have been detrimental to the community as a whole, although she offered no examples. * Trump has touted that African-American unemployment pre-pandemic had reached its lowest level in history and has taken credit for Congress passing criminal justice reforms and funding for historically black colleges." -- Hmmm.. and she didn't mention the 8,000-plus "Black Opportunity Zones" President Trump created by Executive Order that didn't need the House's "stamp", Bass is just another Soc-Dem from CA-razy who offered "no examples" to back her claims/charges , Bass is just trying to negate President Trump's positive steps (heretofore known as "Soc-Dem political promises not kept) to level the playing field for all Americans.

Have you seen the ads for "sized socks"? I remember selling sized socks at retail....never was I... nor our customers.. happier than when multi-sized socks outed the sized ones. Most consumers really have an idea of their true shoe size..much less how to buy sized socks.

From the "Bias? What bias?" department - Online headline/story: "Controversial photo may be a lasting image for Trump * President Trump has always understood the power of images, and it was that instinct for symbolism that led him to stand in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church, across from the White House, on June 1, holding a Bible aloft, as tear gas that had been used on protesters moments earlier wafted through the air." -- First.. there was no "tear gas" used.. a smoke canister, yes.. but no tear gas..the President walked through that area within minutes with out any kind of mask/breathing apparatus. Now.... what's "controversial" about standing up for God and the Law of the Land? Well, or in other words, you might say, "it was a patriotic, law abiding, God respecting American thing that Socialist-Democrats wouldn't understand."

What bias?" department - Online story: "(George Floyd), the 46-year-old black man died on May 25 after being pinned to the ground by Derek Chauvin, a white Minneapolis officer who was seen in a video kneeling on his neck for nearly nine minutes." -- You know.. was it a crime because Chauvin was a police officer or[r because Chauvin was a WHITE police officer?

I think the AJC may have left out a pertinent detail... probably intentionally... seems BOTH of these men were.. (are you ready for this).. DEMOCRATS! Of course if they had been Republicans, it would have been NOTED EXCESSIVELY throughout.

Just like when Venezuela's Maduro overturned his DE-ELECTION , the Socialist-Democrats are "harrumphing" their rhetoric since the antifa took over Central Seattle...mainly because, like Maduro in Venezuela, "Warlord " is running the Seattle coup in the manner prescribed by the Socialist agenda of the Democrats.

I can shut down that antifa fiasco in Seattle in 12 hours... or less.... shut down the wifi and cell towers,and close all the Starbucks, and those folks will be gone in no time.

Hmmmm...the protesters who've taken over central Seattle have as one of their demands, "Free College"... Hmmm ...as I see it, none of them has learned about why America is the greatest country in the world in their first 12 years of "free school", so why should American taxpayers pay for their next level of school?

I do believe I understand why Joke Biden is trying to pre-accuse President Trump of "stealing" the November election . Joke Biden is simply floating up possible book titles to explain why he lost.

From the "before Blacks let Joke Biden decide whether they're are Black or not" department - Online story: "Joe Biden once called state-mandated school integration “the most racist concept you can come up with,” and Barack Obama “the first sort of mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean.” He was a staunch opponent of “forced busing” in the 1970s, and leading crusader for mass incarceration throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s. Uncle Joe has described African-American felons as “predators” too sociopathic to rehabilitate — and white supremacist senators as his friends. * Joe Biden was for desegregating America’s schools, until his constituents were against it. When the Delaware Democrat launched his first campaign for the Senate in 1972, the Supreme Court had just ruled that the Constitution required policymakers to pursue “the greatest possible degree of actual desegregation” — and that forcing white students to attend schools in black neighborhoods, and vice versa, was a legitimate means of doing so. Being an enlightened liberal, Biden began his candidacy as an advocate for such policies. He accused Republicans of demagoguing the busing issue, and appealing to white voters’ ugliest instincts. * But as his campaign progressed, and Biden discerned that the arc of history was bending toward white backlash, the young candidate bent with it. He became a caricature of a white northern liberal — arguing that forced busing was appropriate for the South (where segregation was the product of racist laws), but unnecessary for the North (where, Biden pretended, it merely reflected the preferences of the white and black communities). * the Delaware senator broke ranks with northern liberals— and joined his virulently racist North Carolina colleague Jesse Helms in voting to kneecap all federal efforts to integrate schools, anywhere in the country. Specifically, Biden voted to bar the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare from requiring schools to provide information on the racial makeup of their student bodies — thereby making it nigh-impossible for Uncle Sam to withhold federal funds from school districts that refused to integrate."

So May 2020 tied May 2016 for highest May Temps in 140+ years... Hmm.. I'm gonna bet that the May of 1985 or 1986 was hotter here in Columbus that other the Mays of 2016 & 2020.

I mean everybody.”" --- "everybody hates the police"? Not on your life! Now you could categorized "everybody" as limited to the Soc-Dem leadership, and you'd be pretty much on target.. but get rid of the Soc-Dem politicians, and 90 percent of Americans...

Socialist-Democrats have temporarily gotten  their wish.. their irrational response took Black unemployment  figures from record lows under Trump's policies to a sky-high 16.8 percent last month.
