Voters in the Southeastern Conference states are given a choice.
Behind door #1 is a college football coach who will lie, cheat, steal, whatever it takes, to win. No morals. No ethics. He will win the College Football Playoff National Championship.
Behind door #2 is a coach with integrity, who will follow National Collegiate Athletic Association rules and regulations. He may win the CFB National Championship.
My sincere belief is the majority of voters in each SEC state would not hesitate to choose Coach #1.
So, Democrats, puh-leez, don’t waste your breath on the rule of law, data-based evidence and facts. Because the only fact that matters is winning.
This is precisely why, just as he did in 2016, Donald J. Trump will win every single SEC state in 2020. Congratulations! We’re No. 1. Winning trumps all.

Former Mayor Littlefield is at it again, thankfully
Ron Littlefield served our city as mayor for two terms. One would think that would be enough, and he would fade into the background.
Not Ron Littlefield. He has always had a big heart and a passion for those who cannot care for themselves. Now he wants $2 million of the hotel-motel tax funds to operate a homeless shelter. What a great way to use this money.
I believe close to 90% of homelessness comes as a result of some varying degrees of mental challenges. Chattanooga has turned her back on these people for far too long, depending on churches and other organizations to fill this need instead.
It’s way past time for Chattanooga and Hamilton County to step up to the plate and take care of this growing need. We will all be well served if this happens.
I vote Republican, and Ron is a Democrat. Here is a perfect example of how we can work together to make our city and county better.
Thank you, Ron Littlefield, for not fading off into the background. Thank you for your heart. It’s why I have always been in your corner.

Fox News: When truth in on your side
If you get your national news from ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN or any of several liberal newspapers, you are uninformed, politically ignorant and unequipped to debate most current events.
However, if you watch Fox News, then the truth will be easily illustrated in its 24-hour broadcasts. Why? Because truth and conservatism are closely aligned, yet the other networks depend largely upon their viewers’ ignorance.
Obviously, Fox employs many conservative-leaning journalists, but they report the truth and will not hesitate to disagree with the Trump administration, having done so on innumerable occasions.
Also, they employ and interview many liberals, including Juan Williams, Geraldo Riviera, Marie Harpf, Mara Liason, Shepard Smith, Tamara Holder, James Carville, Kirsten Powers, Shana Alexander, Francisco Hernandez, etc. So they are eager to present both political ideas, and let their viewers decide which they prefer.
What a fantastic idea! Now you might understand why Fox was a target of the Obama administration and the Clintons.
To quote [Indian actor] Hrithic Rashon, “When truth is on your side, you don’t need support.”
