  1. I think what caped was suggesting is that just a little effort at communication might let this be a minor issue worked out between reasonable people in the matter of an hour. Considering you're looking at least at hours of research over several days; and as it is a civil matter, even if you pursue it with legalese-sounding letters and paying for public notices, etc., you could be looking at an investment of time and potentially money greater than you may want or anticipate. If nothing else, setting the stage for a low anxiety meeting of some sort (cookies work a lot better than anger-laced no
  2. Awww come on, GD. I don't hate the guy and I don't even think Bloomberg hates the guy despite his willingness to spend billions to defeat him. Some of us just reject the idea of president as king and an absolute ruler making self-serving decisions from the gut. Put a bit differently, we just don't put much value on personal 24k gold toilets that waste 60 gallons of water with each flush. As far as rights, you need to revisit history. When the new world was discovered there were no democracies and Kings were apt to have people's heads on a pike for petty disagreements. Oh, and the world w
  3. Let's consider for a moment what you said, GD, about rights. Are you really ready to argue that your rights change based on where you are? So where you are determines your right to life, liberty and property and it ends at the border of the town, county, state and nation. So, do you might have a right to a jury trial in Georgia but not Alabama ... or to go back to the 1950s, you might have the right to marry the person you love in California or New York but not Georgia or Alabama? Rights, if you bother to spend just a few moments exploring the logic, tend to exist independent of w
  4. Apparently there is a bill introduced in the Georgia General Assembly that will give Rep. Doug Collins a better chance to displace Sen. Kelly Loeffler by requiring that the race be included in the existing party primaries; a change that would take all candidates off the general election in November, according to a report in US News. Sen. Loeffler was appointed to replace Johnny Isakson who resigned from the senate because of health reasons. Current law calls for an all-comers general election in November that could have three, four or more candidates that would allow for a run off betwee
  5. I should add that the wall to wall negative ads against #OURcurrentPRESIDENT are already being booked by the Bloomberg campaign for September and October and he's smarter than the 'genius' in the white house whose main claim to fame is he is a great - really - one of the greatest CHEATERS to have ever lived. His personal motto is "winners cheat and cheaters win." As I gather, Bloomberg is going to roll DJT like a dandy in central park with billions and billions more than Donny boy.
  6. It is fairy tale, not tail. I know because I know the difference between monkeys and people, something that obviously escapes republicans. I'm so glad you're calling out Bolton for treason, although it seems to be for what I would consider a patriotic act. Obviously the real challenge right now is to have witnesses for the 'impeachment trial' ... unless you're also believing #OURcurrentPRESIDENT LIES that the call and all his actions are 'perfect'. You and everyone else around here know that 'perfection eludes us all' ... except, of course for the spawn of orangutan in the oval
  7. Yes, Caped, in one of my favorite card games, Spades are #OURcurrentPRESIDENT. That is not what our partner wanted, I'm sure as saying "Spades are #OURcurrentPRESIDENT" might really upset our white nationalist friends PS: While you and I could make the change, I kind of like using Lord Voldemort as a synonym for Trumpy so I'll leave it to our anonymous partner to go in and edit/delete this word substitution. I might add that I don't object to the notion of the hashtag substitution, but maybe if we could have control by defining an exact substitution for xTrump that would do that s
  8. That's easy SG: He could have NOT SAID, "Russia, if you're listening, there are 30,000 emails out there on Hillary's server you ought to go hack," ... or not say that next week you expect to have real dirt to spew about Hillary (this is the weekend after the meeting with Don Jr. at #OURcurrentPRESIDENT Tower} But the real point is that is going back over the Mueller Report. Oh, and we're not supposed to know that the effort to get an announcement of an investigation into the so-called alternate fact that Ukraine, not Russia, was responsible for the 2016 interference (Apparentl
  9. Earlier today I learned that one of the group of nine who now operate Pcom came up with an idea that could have a dramatic impact on conversations about card play and other things. Yep, the use of #OURcurrentPRESIDENT cards are integral to parlor games like Spades and Bridge. Imagine for a moment, a quiet moment in the personal living area of the White House. In that space is Ivanka #OURcurrentPRESIDENT, Ivana #OURcurrentPRESIDENT, Barron #OURcurrentPRESIDENT and Eric #OURcurrentPRESIDENT. These four Trumps are undertaking the task of teaching young Barron #OURcurrentPRESIDENT how
  10. First, it has been illegal from as long as I've been alive for a candidate to accept aid from a foreign entity - person, state, company, etc. ... period. That is what was so disturbing about the 2016 election ... Putin heaped massive aid on #OURcurrentPRESIDENT presumably independent of the campaign and #OURcurrentPRESIDENT as Mueller could document no specific conspiracy. I was about six paragraphs into a long explanation when I realized that it is a complex case, like most important cases; and your broad question on which there have been books written. Let it suffice to say t
  11. I was talking to my wife earlier about Bernie while we were watching the view. Megan McCain started hyping Bernie - I'm thinking he's the GOP chosen candidate now that the slander plan for Joe Biden has been exposed - and said she thinks people like him because he's the inverse of #OURcurrentPRESIDENT. I replied, "Yea, he's the Joe Stalin to Donald #OURcurrentPRESIDENT's Hitler imitation" Kind of apt, actually. PS: I'm not sure I like this hashtag thingy.
  12. I recently increased the size of the member's storage allocation although if in the last couple of years you went from a premium to a regular membership (I've not looked it up), the difference would be great (and smaller) with the regular membership. LR: The not secure is something that has happened on the web in recent years. This is something the new management will have to address as it will require getting and paying for a "recognized' security platform. To explain it, if you look in the browser address bar, you'll see Pcom still uses "http://" A year or so ago, largely because
  13. Know that the majority of the people in the United States of America trust that ex-lax aided fart more than they do the liar in chief. You do know that when the out-of-office corrupt Ukrainian Prosecutor demanded that the US Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch be moved - This is before the new Ukrainian President was elected on an anti-corruption pledge - because she would punish Ukraine if the corrupt old regime tried to frame Biden was #OURcurrentPRESIDENT taking a bribe. That the corrupt Ukrainian prosecutor couldn't deliver on the goods because of his ouster by the new guy just meant that #
  14. I first met Bruce when he was a state trooper covering Paulding and I was doing the police beat at the MDJ and later general reporting in Paulding. What Bruce brought to the SO was professionalism. As a former teacher it is a given he was a college graduate and in Paulding of 1987, when the population was closer to 35000 people than today's 160,000 +, the old, old regime was in place and that included a sheriff who had to allegedly cut a few corners because the county wasn't funding a retirement in those days. Yep, this was the time of the county with its sole stoplight and the Walmart
  15. The Paulding County Sheriff’s Office mourns the loss of retired Sheriff Bruce Harris. Sheriff Harris passed away surrounded by his family at Kennestone Hospital on Sunday January 12, 2020 at approximately 7:40 PM. Sheriff Bruce Harris was a native Paulding Countian and loved his home and the people of Paulding County. He graduated from West Georgia College in 1969 with a degree in Education. He later returned and earned an add-on degree in Criminal Justice when it became available as a degree program. After he graduated in 1969, he worked as a teacher in the Paulding County
  16. SG: The new folks eliminated all the personal premium memberships and with it, everyone's maximum storage, image library, etc. was truncated to that of regular members. I doubled the size of store-able content from five to ten megabytes just for convenience sake. I also increased the byte-size of a post from 250kb to 450kb.
  17. The identity of the 65 year old Paulding man who died in a fire last night at his home at 244 Trace Road is being with held pending notification of his next of kin. At 11:04 pm on Tuesday, December 31st, Paulding County Fire & Rescue was dispatched to a residential structure fire located just around the corner from the fire station on Mt. Tabor Road near E. Paulding Drive. The initial 911 call was placed by a neighbor who indicated an elderly male, the only resident, might be at home. Approximately 3 minutes after dispatch a Paulding County Sheriff’s Deputy arrived on the
  18. I started working out here in 1988 at the Neighbor Newspaper. I remember being on the four-lane at 92 when Speaker Tom Murphy opened 278. In 1990 and for almost that entire decade of the 90s half the 00;s, Paulding was one of the nations top ten fastest growing counties in the USA. The real problem with growth since the recession is the understanding that sprawl is not going to be an efficient format for future development, particularly in the area of transportation but also having to do with water, sewer and utilities. Simply stated, the greater the population density, the lower th
  19. Convicted Sex Offender Arrested on Child Pornography Charges (Paulding County, GA) On November 13, 2019 Detectives with the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office Juvenile Investigations Division arrested Richard Wayne Biester on one count of Sexual Exploitation of Children (Possession of Child Pornography) OCGA 16-12-100. Denied bail, Biester remains in jail. Detectives followed up on a CyberTip which was received from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) via the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). Once search warrants we
  20. Just got off the phone with a former biz member whose membership expired in August 2019 ... Given the circumstance, I thought I'd just post their ad flyer gratis. Oh, and Curt, call her again :) gpatton
  21. It was an interesting movie that is the fictional story of a couple of Oklahoma's pioneers; one of which was a lawyer and gun fighter and son of - IRL - Sam Houston of Texas ... and h is wife who was a pioneering newspaper editor in the story. In the original book and movie, the woman's name was Sabra Cravat "Frontier Editor." It was intriguing enough to me personally because I spent 2.5 years in Oklahoma as a writer and newspaper editor first at the Weatherford Daily News and later as editor of the Watonga Republican. Imagine my surprise when reading one of the Internet entries abou
