Feb. 13

Orchids to

Columbus Police Department Captain Combest for all he does for CPD.

Love Chapel for all they do for the community and Lynn, who is a fantastic representative of Love Chapel, who is always polite and willing to help whenever I donate.

the federal grand jury that dismissed the DOJ’s spurious charges against six Democratic lawmakers/veterans.

the beautiful display of what could be considered non-Christmas lights down Washington Street.

Onions to

the tariff guy accepting a gold bar and a Rolex desk clock from the European country as a bribe so he wouldn’t increase tariffs that he has no right to unilaterally implement in the first place.

the city’s obsession with unused cement paths costing millions and tearing up taxpayers’ yards.

third parties that pretend to be first parties, and refuse to accept firsthand knowledge because it doesn’t fit their agenda.

Congress leaders for capitulating in the matter of ICE wearing masks, pepper spray, immunity, etc.

the appointed official for her obnoxious and theatrical performance at the congressional hearings on the Epstein files.

politicians who insult minority group voters by claiming they don’t have, or cannot obtain, photo IDs.

pathetic politicians pontificating about the papers of a passed pervert while petty permanent bureaucrat piddle away taxpayer money.

Happy Birthday to

Kaydence Gates on No. 21, from Mom, Dad, Steven, Easton, Grandma Jenny, Stephanie, Jessica, Mason, and Ryder.
