Congratulations To Bo Wallace and Ole Miss In Their Upset Victory Over Alabama

Number  11  OLE MISS 23       Number 3  ALABAMA   17

With shades of Giles County High School football championships dancing in my head, Bo Wallace again has put the skeptics in an uncomfortable position. 

Three touchdowns and second in rushing.

Even with the controversial missed call ending the first half, when Alabama defensive back Cyrus Jones nearly jerked the head off I'Tavius Mathers with a blatant face mask grab, Ole Miss could not be denied and Bo Wallace could not be contained. 

Ok, maybe he isn't the best quarterback in the game but he has proven to be a high sight better than his critics have tried to label him. He not only threw for three touchdowns 18 of 31 for 251 yards he did it with an amazing amount of poise, guts and savvy with some mighty big throws on third down.    

This Is A Topic Requested By A Reader Concerning Amendment One To Be On This November

This morning there was a request to post this topic. While I am always happy to post suggested topics this one comes with near perfect timing. I have been working on this topic for several days and am very pleased to post it now. Anyone requesting a topic can ensure it's quick post if it is accompanied by a comment. 

This is the request:

"Instead of every thread being something inflammatory and negative, why not start one about why people should vote YES to Amendment One? Just a thought. If this blog is all about informing the masses, I think this would be most appropriate."                           Thursday, October 02, 2014 7:44:00 AM

In 2000, the Tennessee Supreme Court ruled that, “A woman’s right to terminate her pregnancy is a vital part of the right to privacy guaranteed by the Tennessee Constitution,” with that ruling they wiped out almost every state law that regulated abortions. That is the plain and simple fact of the matter.

Are there still some laws that regulate abortion in Tennessee of course there are, there is that very important law that requires every abortion clinic to post a sign with 40 pt Arial font in their waiting rooms declaring that it's illegal for anyone to coerce a woman into having an abortion. Wow, that is powerful.

Tennessee also requires that a minor must obtain the consent of at least one parent before getting an abortion. Guess who checks whether that is a legitimate parent or just an older friend that signed the paper? No one.

In 2012 there was a law passed that required doctors who perform abortions must have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. That has been under attack since before it was passed.

Want to guess which agency is required to inspect abortion clinics for proper equipment, procedures, cleanliness. I don’t know either and neither does anyone else, because there is none. 

Want to guess what the waiting period is for an abortion in Tennessee it’s the same as the restriction on how late in the pregnancy you can have an abortion. That’s right there is no time restriction on either. 

In Tennessee you can walk into an abortion clinic on the day you are to deliver and have an abortion within the hour.

If Tennessee has such strict laws limiting abortions as those supporting abortion on demand claim, please explain why since 2000 more than 25% of women seeking abortions are from out of state? 

QUESTION OF THE YEAR

Who authorized the hiring of Attorney Chris Williams to represent the Election Commission in the appeal court hearing involving my challenge to the election violations in 2010?

On 19 November 2010 The Election Commission was asked by the County Attorney to approve the hiring of another attorney and this request was passed but according to the Election Commission it was NEVER AUTHORIZED to be acted on.

I have yet to find a single County Commissioner who voted to hire an additional attorney.

So how did over fourteen thousand dollars of county tax dollars find its way into the pockets of Mr. Chris Williams?

Well, it seems that, in what some might label money laundering, the money was paid to the County Attorney with checks signed by Mrs Vanzant the County Executive and Mrs. Garner the Financial Management Director, who then paid the same amounts with checks written on her private account to Mr. Williams.

It is interesting to note that my attorney, who charged the same hourly rate, charged approximately the same total amount for the entire procedure that Mr. Williams charged for less than a day for the appeal.

Is it possible, as I suspected before, that the county paid Mr. Williams for defending Mrs. Coleman during the election fraud court case?

What Does It Mean When A County Official Refuses To Answer A Question Because It's From A Citizen?

When the County Executive angrily states that she will not answer a question because it's from a "mere" citizen, it seems that County Executive has moved from a public servant to a master of the public.

Many are the times when the County Executive simply ignored questions from the public or simply dismissed them with some superficial buck passing or a scowl that made her irritation more than clear.  

During the 9-1-1 Board Meeting held on 16 September 2014 it was made abundantly clear by the County Executive that she was above answering questions from the public especially if those questions exposed her as being less than truthful and non responsive to more than one complaint of sexual harassment, hostile work environment and threats of intimidation.  Her direct response was "I don't have to answer any of your questions you are a citizen" she then got up to leave.
