Columbus Academy, an exclusive private school in Columbus Ohio, has expelled three students due to a campaign led by their mothers against the teaching of the Critical Race Theory curriculum.

What the hell? No store here in Columbus has toilet paper. I'm not looking to hoard the stuff, I just need to be able to wipe my a**. Why toilet paper???? People must have the stuff packed to the rafters in their basements and garages. Best I can figure the news about no toilet paper during the Venezuela economic meltdown must have scarred our psyche pretty bad. It's to the point where it might be prudent for the secretary of commerce to hold a news conference and re-assure folks that there is no toilet paper shortage.

Thousands were turned away from a Trump Rally today in Columbus Ohio as it appears the political arm of the DNC, via the Democrat Mayor Andrew Ginther, and Democrat Fire Marshal Kevin O’Conner, blocked attendance to the Trump event. Moments before going on stage to a restricted audience of 1,000, Donald Trump informed the media of the political manipulation Research indicates Trump is entirely correct. Against the backdrop of lackluster visible support for Hillary Clinton last weekend in Ohio, it appears there are political efforts underway to avoid the stark contrast of her opponent Donald Trump Rallying with thousands.

WASHINGTON -- An internal CIA report made public yesterday says the agency's heavily criticized interrogation techniques led to the 2003 arrest of a Columbus truck driver who pleaded guilty to providing assistance to al-Qaida. The 2004 report, released following an order by a federal judge, asserted that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind behind the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, provided CIA interrogators with information that "led to the investigation and prosecution'' of Iyman Faris, a native of Pakistan who was living in Columbus. Faris, 39, is serving a 20-year sentence after admitting he had scouted the Brooklyn Bridge in 2002 as...

On the same spot where then-candidate Barack Obama delivered closing arguments for the presidency last November, thousands of Ohioans gathered yesterday evening to issue a rebuttal. The "tea party" on the lawn of the Statehouse was one of hundreds of events around the country on the federal tax deadline to protest Obama's tax policies and the federal stimulus package. Organizers said about 7,000 people attended. The message was simple: The federal government, already bloated by decades of growth, now is gorging on the next generation's earnings with a stimulus plan that relies on billions of dollars in borrowed money."....

Any freepers attending the Columbus, Ohio Tea Party, tomorrow at the Statehouse? Was hoping to run into some of you.

Columbus, Ohio was the scene of another in a Rash of Tea Parties across the nation when they hosted the ColumbusTownhall.com Tea Party in front of the State Capital Building on the Ides of March, Sunday, 15-MARCH-2009. 150 Conservative and Libertarian Citizens of Ohio assembled in front of the State Capital building and demonstrated with signs and chants their disgust with what is being done to our country by the Obama Administration and by his "Drive-By" Media enablers. At approximately 1:30 PM the Group paraded from the Capital building to the Banks of the Scioto River with Signs and somewhat...

This comes from "Just What the Hell are these people thinking?" files. The Police department in Columbus Ohio were doing some diversity training called “Islam and Muslims: What Law Enforcement Personnel Should Know” Even if you believe that is a noble gesture, who they used to TEACH the course was just DUMB. The Columbus Police was using CAIR. CAIR, the unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Terror trial case and one key piece of evidence was the Wiretap evidence heard in the case put CAIR's executive director, Nihad Awad, at a Philadelphia meeting of Hamas leaders secretly recorded by the...

3 celebrating with guns shot by police in 3 incidents Thursday, January 1, 2009 7:46 PM By Kevin Mayhood The Columbus Dispatch Like cowboys whooping it up, central Ohioans celebrated another new year with guns blazing in the air. But for the first time, Columbus police shot revelers who they said refused to drop their weapons. Three people, all involved in separate incidents, were treated at area hospitals, though none suffered a life-threatening injury. "We've never had three police-involved shootings in one night before," said Sgt. Jeff Sacksteder, of the Columbus Police Division's cold-case squad. Sacksteder and a host of...

The path of destruction and fear stretched at least 5 miles yesterday morning after a 24-year-old man rocketed his car the wrong way on the South Outerbelt. The toll: Seven people injured, including the critically injured driver, Altunar Baltazar. Six vehicles crunched, including the smashed Nissan Maxima that witnesses say other cars were lucky to avoid. "He headed right for us," Columbus resident Robert Crawford said. "It was like he was trying to hit us. He had the pedal to the floor. I knew he was going to clip someone quick." Crawford, who was heading east on I-270, said the...

For president of the United States, The Dispatch endorses Republican Sen. John McCain, whose experience, service and sacrifice for his country make him more qualified to lead the nation. McCain's Democratic opponent, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, is a rousing motivational speaker, but his experience and achievements -- eight years in the Illinois Legislature and less than four in the U.S. Senate -- do not stand comparison with McCain's. A resume containing so little evidence of leadership and accomplishment leaves in question Obama's ability to handle the most responsible and difficult job in the world, especially at a time when the...

Dispatch reporters have been writing like they graduated from Pravda for years, and the paper's editorials have been trending left for the past deacde or so. Therefore, this was something of a suprirse http://www.dispatchpolitics.com/live/content/editorials/stories/2008/10/19/bikepath2.ART_ART_10-19-08_G4_GUBKEGH.html?adsec=politics&sid=101

The President had yet another busy and no doubt worrying day first of all making a statement on the financial rescue legislation early morning on the South Lawn of the White House. He also met with at the White House President Valdas Adamkus of Lithuania and Ukraine's President Viktor Yushchenko. After his meeting with Yushchenko the President spoke about the failed bailout On a somewhat lighter and more pleasant note the President presented the 2007 National Medal of Technology and Innovation Medals.

WBNS TV in Columbus, Ohio is reporting a mysterious powder has been found in a "business sized" envelope in Downtown Columbus. It was delivered to a building and it came from an Ohio doctor. Supposively there was some writing that looked like Arabic writing... I have no more details to report because I'm at work. I just got this from my 14 yr. old daughter.

America was founded in order to destroy Islam? Statements like that give the anti-jihad movement a wingnut patina that, of course, ABC is happy to perpetuate in this anti-McCain hit piece, which breezes by the fact that his campaign has strongly disavowed these statements. But when McCain's campaign strongly disavows these statements, is he disavowing them all -- including the manifestly true statement that some Muslims quite obviously intend to conquer and Islamize the world? Is McCain completely unaware of the 1991 Muslim Brotherhood document, An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America," in...
