  1. Any developments on the City attempting to collect the water and sewer bill owed by the McCurdy apartments??

      • Why doesn’t the City shut off the water and sewer until the old open geothermal loop bill is paid? Are the current closed loop water and sewer bills being paid?

        • It is my understanding that the water can’t be shutoff for non-payment because it is an occupied structure that the water provides fire protection( i.e. sprinklers) for.

          • If the City can’t shut off the water for fire code, shutting off sewer access would motivate the McCurdy to either pay up or to put composting RV toilets in the apartments.

          • MSD, far to smart idea for the City to ever consider. More likely Mr. Cours will install pretty flower pots around the historic McCurdy hotel.

  2. Instead of asking American farmers to learn how to compete and adapt and change their business TO compete (that’s called the free market, supported by Conservatives of all stripes, in case you liberals didn’t know that),

    the Trump administration, failing under the weight of trade tariffs popular with Democrats of all stripes, is going to give American farmers $12 Billion (which, in case you liberals didn’t know, that’s called Socialism).

    God help America.
    Trump is turning America into a welfare state that doesn’t know how to compete. “Making America Weak Again.”

  3. The 2.8 million of river boat money to move the LST is that in addition to the million dollars the casino pledged to them when they moved on land?

  4. So now what we have is the Russians helping defeat republicans in 2018 because Trump is too tough on them. Sounds about right to me, the Guy sure knows how to flip a phrase. I think Trump stays up at night working on putting another gallon of crazy in a liberals tank. Hope he pulls the security clearances of all ex federal employees, it happens on discharge to all military personnel. I think the Trump side of the show is growing because the other side is getting more ignorant everyday. Love how victim Comey is begging the left wing crazy to not be crazy. Bernie is the future of the democrat party, the socialist took control of the democrat party years ago, come on out, the doors been off the closet for years. The best way to describe what is happening to the democrat party is to imagine a car going down the expressway on 3 wheels. This is the platform for democrats, sanctuary cities, open borders, unvetted immigration, extreme controls on law enforcement, open the prison doors and increase tax. The only thing democrats can do is to deny, deny, deny.

    • whoever wrote this went to the scum bible to find the words mister news your showing us you will cheer on the antichrist i remember when being a republican meant you had honor news has none

    • Someday the Republican Party will return to traditional American values and rid ourselves of the menace of posters like Newspeak.

      • Republicans, democrats, or socialist will never return America to traditional values, we lost those forever in the 60’s. We will continue our tribal ways and practice voluntary segregation. The real menace is liberal democrats, just look at the trail of destruction they leave behind them, they’ve destroyed all of our great cities, and created generations of people who have never seen a person get up and go to work. The pilgrims, the original immigrants were people doing well in their country of origin but came here for liberty and religious freedom. The later arrivals came because they were not doing well in their country of origin. The Calvinist said, to work hard is good to work harder is better, very anti socialism. If you don’t work you don’t eat. Liberal democrats would trade liberty and freedom for a sausage sandwich a Russian friend of mine claims.

      • I dont recognize any actual conservatives or republicans among the Trump minions in here.

      • If traditional American values were important, Obama would be but a speck in American history. McCain and Romney lost and were made fun of because they embraced traditional American values. If Trump had of embraced traditional American values Hillary would be president. There is and was not a traditional republican in this country that could have beat Hillary.

  5. Don’t expect this to be reprinted in the mainstream media obsessed with helping the deep state oppose President Trump. Very solid points by someone that actually has experience in dealing with Russians. Well said indeed:
    ………………….
    “The anti-Trump-and-Russia crusade represents a fundamental change in Democratic Party foreign policy. Roger Simon has aptly termed it a political sex change transformation, since the Democrats have long called for closer cooperation with Moscow. Indeed, during the Reagan years, Senator Ted Kennedy, the de facto head of the Democratic establishment, secretly approached Soviet dictator Yuri Andropov to take an active role in American politics. Paul Kengor tells us….”

    As recently as the Obama-Romney debates, the Democratic candidate ridiculed the notion that Russia was America’s prime global enemy. The intelligence community notoriously understated the Soviet threat, as demonstrated by the Team B exercise, which demonstrated a far greater military threat, and more aggressive anti-American intentions, than official estimates had indicated. The IC supported a more benign interpretation of Soviet intentions. Today, it is astonishing to see former CIA director Brennan calling the president a traitor for failing to challenge Putin in Helsinki.

    Why are the Democrats and the spooks suddenly so ferociously anti-Putin? What can account for such an enormous sea change?

    It’s a hard question to answer, because we do not know if it is based on new intelligence, or if it is primarily motivated by politics. So far as we know, there is considerable information tying Democrats to the Russians, and relatively less showing Russian links to Republicans, including the Trump crowd. We can document substantial Russian and Russia-linked involvement with the Clinton Foundation, some of it directly linked to U.S. policy decisions such as the one giving Russia effective control over the U.S. company Uranium One. We know that Bill Clinton received a huge payday for a speech in Moscow, orders of magnitude greater than what General Flynn was paid. Yet there is virtually unanimous Democratic condemnation of Trump’s failure to denounce Russian “meddling” in our politics, claiming it was in support for Trump.

    It seems to me that the Democrats are accusing Trump of doing what they actually did.

    • The most powerful fat ass on Earth advised the world that his squeeze from the Motherland was coming to the good ole USA Joe, and Mr. Putin said nyet, we must wait for heat to cool comrade.

      It’s called an internationally embarrassing rain check Joe. It’s like your doctor telling you to turn around so he can check your prostate and you, (or shar pie), would say, I am turned around.

      Anyway, I have a lullaby for you two bros to help you both gently get to sleep tonight;

      You’re Welcome….

      • Mention of balalaikas will sow further confusion, bitterness and finally epiphanic wetness herein.

        ‘Let me hear your balalaika’s ringing out ♬ …’.
        Must be some sort of AK 47.

  6. Is it true that tonight’s WWE event at the “Downtown” Ford Center is the only event scheduled there for the month of July? Yep. Zero events scheduled for August and only 1 concert by Alabama scheduled for September. Remind us again how the Ford Center is going to pay for itself??
