Rant and Rave for June 5, 2018

North Korea

“Kim Jong Un’s airplane can’t make it all the way to Singapore, but he has nukes that can hit California. Now that’s funny stuff right there! Unless you live in California.”

Turnarounds

“About ‘no business person stays with a losing project.’ Wrong! A true business person addresses the wrong and turns the losing project into a winning project. That’s called leadership. You aren’t a landlord worth your salt unless you’ve bought a losing project and turned it around.”

R.B. Wright painting

“Love the painting at R.B. Wright school. Why don’t the school live by the saying on it? The school keep out middle and low class that don’t fit the look at they school. It is not colorful like they wall.”

More noise

“Dear Moultrie Police: There is another place where loud music makes our window panes chatter, it’s around Colonial Heights especially 5th Street. Could you please help us out and enforce our noise law?”

Changed heart

“Before the apostle Paul became an apostle, he was a murderer.  God changed Paul’s heart and used him as an instrument to serve His will.  He can also change Donald Trump’s heart, and I believe he has, and use him as an instrument to accomplish His will as well. Makes sense to me!”

Hypocrisy

“Wanda Sykes compared Trump to an orangutan and Bill Maher compared Trump to an ape, nothing but silence from liberals. Palin was called very bad names by lefties. NO problem. Olbermann used sexist language and said the worst about Trump. Again, no problem. Roseanne got fired for veiled comments about Jarrett. How fair was that? Typical liberal hypocrisy.”

Slow response

“To the person near the car wash, you are not going to have a quiet night if you call 911 for MPD. May take over 40-50 phone calls, even if they do show up, they aren’t going to write a ticket because you need 2 witnesses, not related. Even you identify the vehicle, maybe 6 months, you might get lucky.”

Unemployment

“So the black UI unemployment rate is lower under Trump than under Obama? So weird, huh? It’s almost as if everything the leftist media has said about black unemployment for the past 10 years has been 100% lies.”
