IS IT TRUE JANUARY 23, 2017

IS IT TRUE another bar has applied for a permit on West Franklin Street that has turned into the de facto entertainment district in the City of Evansville?…that if having multiple bars and restaurants all within walking distance of each other is the criteria to define an entertainment district then West Franklin has a 30 year lead,on downtown Evansville?…the issue with the new bar is that the ownership is running into obstructions?…it is widely alleged and has been reported that the obstructions with getting plans and permits approved is rooted in a competitor who would prefer not to have to deal with another bar on West Franklin?…we are sure that things will eventually work out for yet another bar on West Franklin but are disappointed at someone trying to appeal to the “good old boy” network to oppress competition?

IS IT TRUE President Donald Trump is expected to start off with a series of executive, actions with respect to eliminating executive actions of his predecessor Barack Obama?…it will be interesting to see if President Trump will learn to choose his battles and ignore nitwittery like attendance comparisons with past inaugurations?…President Obama set the record for a century with the estimated 1.8 Million people who saw him sworn in for the first time?…in the big picture of running the country it really doesn’t matter and we hope that President Trump will stop getting adversarial with a press that isn’t about to start liking him?

IS IT TRUE the singer/actor Madonna who once insulted the City of Evansville as looking like a communist run city when she was here filming “A League of Their Own” in the late 90s, has shown her backside one time too many?…Madonna went on a rant at the women’s march where she uttered the words “Blow up the White House” when discussing the newly installed President of the United States?…we expect the material girl will be receiving a visit from some big guys in a black SUV for her indiscretion?…she deserves it for allowing herself to blurt out such an idiotic statement?…she along with fellow entertainer Ashley Judd reinforced the belief that singers and actors do not have sufficient self control to be taken seriously?…we expect Ms. Judd will hear the BOOOOO BIRDS of Rupp Arena someday for her profanity laced rant?

IS IT TRUE on the bright side of the women’s march, a reported 3-4 Million American women peacefully exerted their right to free speech and assembly?…we should all be proud of the women who assembled to make their hopes and demands for the future known?…with very few exceptions the women’s march was a model for future protests?…we thank and congratulate all who participated?

IS IT TRUE medical marijuana is beginning to attract some support in the State of Indiana from some unexpected places?…even local Republican Senator Jim Tomes is seeing the light when it comes to marijuana extracts for use with some diseases?..this is an encouraging situation for patients who can benefit from the effects of the plant?…the biggest problem drugs in Indiana have long been legal ones like Oxycodone and other painkillers that have a distribution system that starts with a prescription and ends at a pharmacy?…the recent crackdown on these legal drugs has driven addicts to the streets where they have rediscovered heroin?…marijuana is now legalized at the state level for roughly half of all Americans?…in those places it doesn’t seem to be transforming nice places into drug dens?…the reality is quite to the contrary as taxes have increased and the populations are growing?

FOOTNOTE: Todays “Readers Poll” question is:  Do you feel that the Zoning Appeals Board should approve another bar in the entertainment district on West Franklin street?

  1. I believe if you check, Tomes has never been against the use of medical marijuana. Just as he was against the Right To Work legislation, because he has an R in front of his name, media assumes to know a person’s stance. Sort of like, “If you’re a Democrat, you’re pro-abortion”, right?

  2. Well, well…..the CCO Editor today,
    calling out the new Diva Reality TV President “to ignore the nitwittery like the attendance numbers of past inaugurations” and instead of worrying about his TV ratings, to DO HIS JOB.

    The Editors of the WSJ did the same thing this morning, and agree with the CCO Editor today:
    ………..
    WALL STREET JOURNAL, January 23, 2017
    “President Trump visited the CIA on his first full day on the job yesterday. But Mr. Trump couldn’t resist turning the event into an extended and self-centered riff about the size of his campaign rallies, the times he’s been on Time magazine’s cover and how the “dishonest” media misreported his inaugural crowds.

    President Trump and his staff are going to have to raise their game if they want to succeed at governing. This was not a presidential performance.”
    WSJ, Monday
    …………..

    OUCH! Bad day for the Reality TV President. Bad start for the Diva Presidency. One chance to make a good impression. Blew. It! Was there even a Trump Inauguration?

    • Conservatives have never been into rent-a-mobs, like the ones bused to Washington back in January of 2009. I saw the largest gathering of supporters of a candidate here in Evansville, in my lifetime, show up for Donald Trump’s rally, and none of them were bused in for the event.

      As for the total number of people who viewed the inaugural ceremony, which includes all the ways in which one can view the ceremony, it was the largest audience ever.

      So get used to it Whiner Becker, you will not see conservatives trotting off to Washington in buses at the drop of a hat like you have witnessed for the lat 8 years with your liberal professional whiners.

      • PRESSANYKEY:
        1. You continue to make crap up. Can’t admit, against CLEAR and overwhelming evidence (by no less than the CONSERVATIVE Wall Street Journal) Trump’s inaugural attendance was lower than Obama’s? That makes you an infant Press. In your world, creating deliberately constructed lies makes sense, I guess…but IT DON’T MAKE THEM FACTS. They are still, lies.

        2. You actually care about Trump’s ratings? Really? Two days in a row you jump to defend the ratings? Pressanykey!! You care about Trump’s RATINGS!!!???? Do you tape all of the Beverly Hills Housewives reality TV shows too Press?

        3. It is apparent that anyone who is critical of Trump’s fascination with crowd size and ratings (like the Wall Street Journal, Fox News, hell, even Charles Krauthammer!)……in YOUR mind’s eye Pressanykey….that makes them all hillary-voting liberals.

        You look like a fool Press. A fool.

  3. IS IT TRUE that while the comment by Madonna was not in good taste, you have taken it out of context by only posting a few words of her entire sentence. Madonna stated “Yes, I am angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House” Madonna DID NOT state “Blow up the White House” as you put in quotes, and Journalism 101 is a quote is supposed to be the exact words. You are once again providing cover for Trump by misstating what was said.

    IS IT TRUE that I cannot recall a SINGLE episode of outrage from you when Ted Nugent made numerous comments about killing President Obama including that if those who supported the NRA and the 2nd Amendment didn’t get their “freedom” then they’d demand the “evil carcasses” of President Obama and other notable Democrats. And don’t forget when he said onstage that “Obama, he’s a piece of sh**. I told him to suck on my machine gun”

    IS IT TRUE if you are outraged by what Madonna said, then we should see your outrage over Nugent?

    IS IT TRUE that once again we expect deafening silence to this question from the people?

    • Here are a few words by Madonna’s favorite “poet”. She thinks he was brilliant.

      * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

      don’t ever get the idea I am a poet; you can see me
      at the racetrack any day half drunk
      betting quarters, sidewheelers and straight thoroughs,
      but let me tell you, there are some women there
      who go where the money goes, and sometimes when you
      look at these whores these onehundreddollar whores
      you wonder sometimes if nature isn’t playing a joke
      dealing out so much breast and ass and the way
      it’s all hung together, you look and you look and
      you look and you can’t believe it; there are ordinary women
      and then there is something else that wants to make you
      tear up paintings and break albums of Beethoven
      across the back of the john; anyhow, the season
      was dragging and the big boys were getting busted,
      all the non-pros, the producers, the cameraman,
      the pushers of Mary, the fur salesman, the owners
      themselves, and Saint Louie was running this day:
      a sidewheeler that broke when he got in close;
      he ran with his head down and was mean and ugly
      and 35 to 1, and I put a ten down on him.
      the driver broke him wide
      took him out by the fence where he’d be alone
      even if he had to travel four times as far,
      and that’s the way he went it
      all the way by the outer fence
      traveling two miles in one
      and he won like he was mad as hell
      and he wasn’t even tired,
      and the biggest blonde of all
      all ass and breast, hardly anything else
      went to the payoff window with me.

      that night I couldn’t destroy her
      although the springs shot sparks
      and they pounded on the walls.
      later she sat there in her slip
      drinking Old Grandad
      and she said
      what’s a guy like you doing
      living in a dump like this?
      and I said
      I’m a poet

      and she threw back her beautiful head and laughed.

      you? you . . . a poet?

      I guess you’re right, I said, I guess you’re right.

      but still she looked good to me, she still looked good,
      and all thanks to an ugly horse
      who wrote this poem.
      Charles Bukowski

      Yeah, I really want Madonna telling me how to live my life. She wouldn’t live like this man lived in a million years. She is the epitome of a limousine liberal: all mouth!

      • You can’t make this up.
        DISAFFECTED (correctly) called Pressanykey, a babbling little mind, for even giving damn what Madonna thinks or writes. (And Press clearly reads everything possible, about Madonna.)

      • Why do you engaged the Dumb Pecker, Press? You know he’s nothing more than a lost puppy whining for attention, don’t you? I hoped he’d have been better after the holiday break, but the other children still won’t play with him at recess.

        • (Disaffected never actually has anything to add here. He’s too insecure. And for those who do, he waits to jump on the pile, and then pee in his pants as though he had an original thought.)

          Sir, you need new material. You have no opinions, that much is clear.

    • Wonder if this is winning over the working class uneducated voters in PA, OH, MI, WI, NC ..they give a sh&^*t less about Madonna ..or what about those workers that lost their jobs at Aloca ..Thinks they give a sh&*^t. When Bill Clinton told Hilliary “it’s the economy stupid” ..remember 1992???””” Podesta & Meeks thought the transgender bathroom issues would move the needle ..then we have the DNC convention were Hilliary thought those working class voters really cared about the Muslin dude that lost his son (tragic as it was) and his wife seemingly submitting along his side.

  4. I believe everyone knows Pistons is the squeekie wheel against competition to his establishment on Franklin st. His track record of running a “clean” establishment should be taken into account on his objections. The fact that the realtors don’t have an interest in Franklin st. compared to downtown and Hannie’s corner probably has something to do with it.

  5. all you little radical far left media created barry soetoro and harry clinton doormats keep wearing your pussy hats and keep them there skanks like madonna out in full force….. get behind your leaders liberal zombies……..as the commie radical party that the msm barry and big mike created has 10 senate seats up for grabs in states that President Trump won in 2018…………..President Trump working the first day to make America Great Again……..Without A doubt……..This just in hiring freeze for the federal government except for military then the layoffs of 20% of the deadbeat federal workers……..President Trump Law And Order 2017 And Beyond…………………..

  6. As witnessed during Saturday’s Protest, there were signs that stated “Pussy Power” ..how about intellectual power? ..what the hell does body parts have to do with it? If men showed up with signs that stated, “Penis Power” how would that be portrayed???
