  1. Is it true that the Eagle Valley golf course owned by the Evansville Vanderburgh County School Corporation is closing for good? Is it true that the former golf course could end up as a solar energy farm in a joint venture with Vectren that would power the adjacent brand new EVSC McCuthanville Elementary school?

    • MSD, interesting question whether the EVSC could do that. Maybe there is a zoning issue that would stop them?

      • Why did the school corp buy a golf course? They fight raises for the EPD security, after buying a golf course. It will be interesting to see what raises the school corp brass get.

  2. While the liberal main stream media continues to obsess with the bogus Hillary paid for dossier of Trump Russia collusion, don’t look for this to be reported about the radical Muslim terrorists calling themselves ISIS.
    ………………………………….
    Islamic State militants executed nearly 700 prisoners in nearly two months in eastern Syria. The UK-based war monitoring group said the prisoners were among 1,350 civilians and fighters that Islamic State had been holding in territory near the Iraqi border.

    This comes as more than 200 mass graves containing the remains of thousands of people have been discovered in Iraq in areas formerly under the control of Islamic State (ISIS) militants according to the United Nations.

      • …The victims include women, children, the elderly and disabled, as well as members of Iraq’s armed forces and police, a UN report said….

        What does this have to do with “White Nationalist trash”?

  3. I suspect a nice home in a ” golf community” overlooking solar panels or anything other than a golf course may be hard to move on the market. I feel for those persons who are stuck with overpriced homes in this community.

  4. IS IT TRUE that the criticisms of Republican Chairman Wayne Parke will soon get more public attention from the mainstream media? …that Mr. Parke has burned a lot of bridges and it is finally catching up with him?

    IS IT TRUE that in 2008 Parke participated in the Indiana Democratic presidential primary so that he could cast his vote for Hillary Clinton? …that just over a year later, Parke sought to become the Republican chairman by challenging and criticizing long-time Republican Holli Sullivan?

    IS IT TRUE that Parke has long supported Democrat Stephen Melcher as Commissioner? … that Parke then supported Mr. Melcher when he ran against state representative Holli Sullivan? …that Wayne Parke most recently recruited Melcher to run as a Republican for 3rd Ward City Councilman?

    IS IT TRUE Wayne Parke spent $10,000 opposing Republican Bruce Ungenthiem? …that Wayne Parke’s efforts against Mr. Ungenthiem failed?

    IS IT TRUE Wayne Parke has also consistently opposed Republican Cheryl Musgrave, even predicting she would lose in each of her races? …that Wayne Parke was wrong in each case?

    IS IT TRUE that Wayne Parke also drove City Councilman Dan McGinn away from the Republican Party? …that Wayne Parke openly attacked Republican County Commissioner candidate Steve Hammer? …that Wayne Parke also attacked Deputy Mayor Steve Schaefer?

    IS IT TRUE that Wayne Parke has essentially attacked every Republican candidate or officeholder and has no friends left in his own party? …if the election for Vanderburgh County GOP Chairman was held today Wayne Parke would lose badly?

    IS IT TRUE that the future success of the Democratic Party of Vanderburgh County is in the hands of Sheriff Dave Wedding, County Commissioners Ben Shoulders and Jeff Hatfield, and State Representative Ryan Hatfield? …that this core group could actually resurrect their party?

    IS IT TRUE it looks like our Vanderburgh County elected officials are backing down on a funding request to do a $40 million jail expansion project? …it looks like the jail expansion money request will be between $24 to $28 million dollars?

    IS IT TRUE that the Evansville City Council voted unanimously to retain attorney Josh Claybourn? …that we are not surprised by this result? …that Mr. Claybourn has developed a reputation of working with Council in a non-partisan manner? …that some attorneys seeking the job failed to make headway with an argument over Claybourn’s residence since prior City Council attorneys also lived outside of City limits?

  5. Donald Trump doubled down during a Tuesday White House meeting by stressing that armed teachers are a critical part of “hardening” schools in America.

    Politico reports that while Trump’s School Safety Commission focused on “more coordination between schools and law enforcement,” including the possibility of using military veterans to guard schools, Trump remained focused on allowing willing, trained teachers to carry guns.

    Trump noted how quickly an attack can unfold, noting that the speed at which it happens makes it “critical to have armed personnel available at a moment’s notice.”
