Which is the bigger hoax: The world is running out of gas in ten years or so (mid – 1970s) or global warming, the hoax that never leaves?

Remember the rampaging Nigerian immigrant murderer at the Bronx hospital? Once again, big media got it wrong.

Remember big media trying to sell Carly Fiorina as the great Republican hope for president last year? Their pitch was Carly can win, Donald cannot. RedState.com says Carly Fiorina is a clone of Rudy Giuliani, with some favorable views but fairly liberal overall. I remember in 2007 and 2008 the media claimed Rudy was leading the Republican pack, but when he dropped out in February 2008 after the Florida Primary he had no delegate votes, with some 1197 votes needed to win the nomination. He later picked up one delegate in Nevada after dropping out and spending some $50,000,000 in his campaign, 50 million bucks to win one vote. People were telling me early on that Rudy was ahead, but that shows those people watch too much network television.

Eastman city council schedules the first downtown yard sale
By Taelor Rye
At the Eastman City Council’s regular meeting on July 24, 2017, city council member Buddy Pittman led discussion on the first date of the quarterly downtown yard sale, which the council approved for September 9, 2017.
The yard sale, an interest of Pittman’s for some time, is to encourage further visits to the downtown area. Interested citizens and food vendors who would like to set up booths will pay a fee that will go to support the downtown development authority in its endeavors, such as the facade grant for downtown businesses.
The council also approved a motion to fund repairs of a mixer at the wastewater treatment plant, at a cost of $7,675.00. The cost of a replacement would have been around $16,000.00.
“This particular mixer has had problems in the past,” city manager Jason Cobb said, “but it has also been at the plant since it opened.” Cobb also stated that, “according to the company doing the new repairs, the company that repaired the mixer last time did an inadequate job of sealing it correctly.” “However, this round of repairs will prevent any further damage,” Cobb said.
The repairs will come with a one-year warranty, and funding will come from the short-lived asset account.
Cobb additionally called attention to the continued work on repaving roads in town, commending the work and specifying that work on College Street and the area behind city hall is been done this week.
The city council also has a retreat scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on August 11, 2017 in the airport boardroom. If needed, the council will revisit on August 12, 2017, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
The council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on Monday, August 14, 2017.

Many blood sucking parasites
Ideological “firebrand” is the new buzzword to replace the overused “controversial.” Who can define such trigger words?
From TheoSpark.net:
“The word ‘politics’ is derived from the word ‘poly’ meaning ‘many,’ and the word ‘ticks,’ meaning blood sucking parasites.’“
Author unknown
Theo puts the apostrophe and period outside the quotation marks, which is the custom in England. I took the liberty of changing it. To read his great column, you’d swear he was in the USA. He should be on television here. I know where to find some talented commentators others seem not to know about, or are deliberately ignoring. Ilana Mercer is another. Her writing is as good as it gets. I’d put her up against anyone from “Conservative Inc.” as the fine folks at VDare.com sarcastically call it.

Remember sleazy Demoleft Nevada Senator Harry Reid, now retired? In 2010 he lost the male vote to Republican female Sharron Angle (yes, two Rs) but women voters in Nevada just love sleazy Harry, giving him a 15 point margin and allowing him to coast to victory in his last election. Nevada women needed to have better information before voting. Many women will not vote for a conservative female.

County to buy opiate antidote
By Taelor Rye
In response to the rise in opioid abuse throughout Georgia, the Dodge County Board of Commissioners put $1,000.00 toward providing first responders with Narcan, an opiate antidote, at its regular meeting on July 17, 2017.
The decision to spend money on this issue arose after Jeff Creech, of Dodge County Emergency Medical Services, discussed the prevalence and effects of Percocet-based drugs with the street names “yellow pill” and “grey death.” Creech noted that the grey death is particularly risky, as it is easily inhaled or absorbed through the skin, quickly entering the bloodstream of those who come in contact with it, therefore increasing the risk of an overdose.
“Grey death is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine,” Creech noted. He also noted that first responders have already been advised to double-glove their hands and to wear masks when searching individuals, houses and vehicles for drugs to minimize potential exposure to the drugs.
Due to the rise in these drugs, Creech asked that the board of commissioners supply first responders, such as sheriffs and firefighters, with $1,000.00 to go toward purchasing doses of Narcan for every first responder and parole officer. The ultimate goal is to have one, maybe two, extra doses in every first responder’s vehicle in case they come in contact with a drug such as grey death.
Creech stated that Narcan currently costs about $28.40 and that insurance company WoodmenLife has already put $1,000.00 toward these efforts, covering around 35 doses. The $1,000.00 from the county will supplement these funds.
When county commissioner Brian Watkins asked if the drugs in question were of particular significance in the area, Creech explained that, while there has only been one recent incident in Dodge County, there were 13 incidents in one weekend in Houston County.
Additionally, news outlets such as the Atlanta-based CNN and WSB-TV have called attention to the increase in the use of these drugs over the past few months.
Addressing concerns of public safety, Creech clarified that naloxone, the medication branded as Narcan, cannot be abused, so having it in first responder vehicles virtually poses no risk of theft and abuse.
