The Becker Report – November 2024

Beckerisms

Trump Wins!!!

Sanity has prevailed.

Congratulations to our Republican slate of candidates including Moreno for US Senate; Deters, Hawkins, and Shanahan for Ohio Supreme Court. And of course, Trump for President.

The fight to restore normalcy has begun.
Speaker Johnson Protects Women-Only Spaces in U.S. Capitol. It Should Never Have Been Necessary.

For anybody who doesn’t know my well-established record on this issue, let me be unequivocally clear. A man is a man, and a woman is a woman. And a man cannot become a woman.
US House Speaker Mike Johnson (11/20/2024)

The woke war against normalcy continues
Jaguar Rebranded: The Woke War against Normal

It’s interesting to note that the left-wingers are calling people who are opposed to men flopping around in women’s locker rooms as hateful and bigoted.

John Becker Talks Trash in Union Township

Editorial from the 11/21/2024 edition of The Clermont Sun

Keep our community clean. Please don’t litter.
Every Day is Earth Day in Union Township.
Let’s Make Union Township Clean Again.
Union Township messaging will hopefully bring awareness to the litter problem and make our community a cleaner place to live, work, and play.
The following is where I picked up trash since October:
November 16, 2024 – Both sides of Bach Buxton Road between Valley Wood Drive and Redleaf Drive in front of the main entrance to West Clermont High School. Additionally, I did the area around Park Bank and Rumpke Road. There is always something there and sometimes a lot.
November 9, 2024 – Both sides of Bach Buxton Road from Shayler Road to Valley Woods Drive. Also, Old SR 74 from Park Bank to the creek. This was a 4-hour job.
November 2, 2024 – Both sides of Bach Buxton Road from Clepper Lane to Shayler Road. Also Old SR 74 from Pet Suites to the creek. This was a 5-hour job netting two large garbage bags full and other various debris that was too large for the bags.
October 26, 2024 – Both sides of Eastgate Blvd from Big Lots to Old SR 74 and the area around the intersection of Eastgate Blvd and Old SR 74.
October 19, 2024 – Old SR 74 from Eastgate Blvd to the creek and the Rumpke Road intersection.
October 12, 2024 – Both sides of Rumpke Road from Tall Trees to Old SR 74 and both sides of Old SR 74 to the creek.
October 5, 2024 – Clepper Park.

Union Township welcomes new and growing businesses

Some of the below may be pending trustee approval:

Rumpke will begin construction of a $12 million indoor waste and recycling transfer facility. The facility will also have public recycling stations available for residents and businesses to utilize throughout the year. It will be located off of Round Bottom Road within the northern-most portion of the Champion’s Way development. It won’t be “trashy.”
Cincinnati Sands Volleyball is also planning to build off of Round Bottom Road just north of Hamilton Safe. Township permits have been issued and they are waiting on county permitting. Cincinnati Sands Volleyball will be “serving” the public.
Primrose School is planning to build in Ivy Pointe north of Sharefax Credit Union. The Township has now received a permit application and the review is nearing completion. Issuance is imminent. It will be a “smart” looking building. It represents another $8 million – $10 million in investment within Ivy Pointe Commerce Park.
A VA Clinic is under construction in Ivy Pointe north of the Children’s Hospital site. “Salute.”
Construction of the 242 dwelling unit Westmont Apartment project and the 268 dwelling unit first phase of the Vision Development is ongoing at the old Glen Este High School site. “Dwell” on that.
A new development is approved for the area north of the Echelon apartments on Glen Este – Withamsville Road. Although not finalized, the new businesses appear to include The Works Pizza, By Golly’s Bar & Grill, and more. Well, I guess that is “the works.” This project is being “reset” and will change moving forward—as Bad Tom Smith Brewing is out (and may change further).
Starbucks is “brewing” plans to potentially raze the old Taco Bell “Tom Yum” on Ohio Pike near Bach Buxton. The Township has issued the permit for the new store and they are just waiting on the county for their permit approvals at the Building Department.
New construction has begun at the Wyler Empire on SR32. They have “shifted into high gear” and are building a used car superstore.
Progress continues at the materials reclamation center off Winding Creek Boulevard, near the Township line. The owner reports that they expect to be open in December of this year. Is this where I “recycle” a pun?
Panda Express has razed the car wash next to the Union Township library and will build a new location there. It’s an “appetizing” venture. The overpass construction is delaying their start date. This project is beginning to look like a 2025 completion.
Mercy Health urgent care center is under construction in the Jungle Jim’s parking lot in front of LaRosa’s. They’ll soon be repairing “broken” bones, skin, and more. We are waiting for the tenant to complete interior buildout on this, and are waiting for an updated timeline.
Children’s Hospital is under construction in the Ivy Pointe area near TQL. Our concerns have been “healed.”
Wawa will be taking over the old Mt. Carmel Kroger location. Rah-rah to Wawa for taking over a shuttered business. Demolition is complete and ground preparation has begun and construction is expected to be complete early next year.
McDonald’s has submitted plans for a new restaurant next to WaWa. We have completed an initial zoning permit review, and we have received revised plan submittals addressing comments. Will Donald Trump be serving fries there?
Alfaa purchased and submitted plans to build on an empty lot on the corner of Aicholtz Road and Eastgate Blvd. I’m wondering if they sell alfalfa sprouts?
A small strip mall is coming to the corner of SR 32 and Mt. Carmel Tobasco Road on Yates Lane. I expect them to be rolling in dough soon. A zoning permit has been issued. No start date has been announced. As of this week, it appears that some site mobilization activities are beginning.
The old Valero on the corner of Ohio Pike and Bennett Road is under new ownership. The plan is to remodel and expand a convenience and wine store. The previous condition of the property was certainly something to whine about.
Honda East will be “shifting gears” to “rev up” sales by expanding their operations in Cherry Grove. They might “tire,” “brake,” and “shock” you, but they are “on a roll.” Wouldn’t it be nice if they offered free samples? We expect to receive plans in the near future to advance the project.
TQL will be adding an additional 1,000 jobs at its sprawling UT campus. The new southern wing will look similar to their recently added northern wing. The project is “trucking” along. “Total Quality” will be a “Logistic” requirement.
Kroger has “crushing” plans to demolish Sears and build a new 123,722 square foot Kroger Marketplace store detached from the mall. The store will include a Starbucks, drive through pharmacy, expanded deli, expanded bakery, a Murray Cheese section, sushi, expanded adult beverage section, apparel, home goods, expanded grocery section, and a Kroger fuel center with 18 fuel pumps. The fuel will be on the recently shuttered Wendy’s side of the parking lot. The northeast side of the store will have a parking area for on-line pickup. The current Kroger store on Eastgate Boulevard will likely close in coordination with opening the new Kroger Marketplace store. All plans are currently on hold pending litigation with the owner of the Eastgate Mall.

The Becker Report – October 2024

John Becker The Becker Report

Beckerisms

Vote for Trump

Return to prosperity and world peace.

Or vote for Harris and continue the last four years.

The McDonald’s Factor

Trump = McWinner

Harris = McLoser

Trump pulled off what has become known as one of the greatest political stunts in American history.
Why can’t Harris recall any details of where she allegedly worked? This was a major unforced error that Trump capitalized on.
I worked in a restaurant when I was 15 years old in 1976. I recall many details such as the name of the restaurant, owner, floor layout, etc. I can provide details of multiple jobs that I had in high school and college. And I’m three years older than she is. What’s her problem?

What about Israel?

The college campus protesters supporting the Hamas terrorists and calling for the destruction of Israel (from the river to the sea…) have quieted and largely vanished. What has Harris promised them? Israeli arms Embargo?
Let’s keep in mind that Hamas started the war and Iran’s proxies joined the fight. Israel has the right and the duty to defeat them all.

Ohio’s Issue 1 – Vote NO

Repeals Ohio’s anti-gerrymandering law and requires partisan gerrymandering by unaccountable appointees with unlimited taxpayer funds.
I covered this issue extensively in the September issue.

Republican Slate

Regarding our Republican slate of candidates, many are expected to be close races. Those include Moreno for US Senate; Deters, Hawkins, and Shanahan for Ohio Supreme Court; and Hava Laudon for State Board of Education. And of course, vote for Trump for President.

Becker Talks Trash

On the electronic signs, Union Township is now advertising “Keep our community clean. Please don’t litter.”
Now that the weather is cooler, I’ve been out picking up roadside trash.
My efforts, as well as the Township messaging, will hopefully bring awareness to the problem and make our community a cleaner place to live, work, and play.
The following is where I picked up trash during October:
October 26, 2024 – Both sides of Eastgate Blvd from Big Lots to Old SR 74 and the area around the intersection of Eastgate Blvd and Old SR 74.
October 19, 2024 – Old SR 74 from Eastgate Blvd to the creek and the Rumpke Road intersection.
October 12, 2024 – Both sides of Rumpke Road from Tall Trees to Old SR 74 and both sides of Old SR 74 to the creek.
October 5, 2024 – Clepper Park.

The Becker Report – September 2024

John Becker The Becker Report

Beckerisms

Ohio’s Issue 1 – Vote NO

Repeals Ohio’s anti-gerrymandering law

The following are the first two paragraphs of the ballot language:

Repeal constitutional protections against gerrymandering approved by nearly three-quarters of Ohio electors participating in the statewide elections of 2015 and 2018, and eliminate the longstanding ability of Ohio citizens to hold their representatives accountable for establishing fair state legislative and congressional districts.
Ohio’s Issue 1 paragraph #1

Establish a new taxpayer-funded commission of appointees required to gerrymander the boundaries of state legislative and congressional districts to favor either of the two largest political parties in the state of Ohio, according to a formula based on partisan outcomes as the dominant factor, so that:
A. Each district shall contain single-member districts that are geographically contiguous, but state legislative and congressional districts will no longer be required to be compact; and
B. Counties, townships and cities throughout Ohio can be split and divided across multiple districts, and preserving communities of interest will be secondary to the formula that is based on partisan political outcomes.
Ohio’s Issue 1 paragraph #2

From the Ohio Republican Party:

Issue 1 is being pushed by politicians who want a system that favors their political class. Ohioans are coming together to fight this blatant abuse of power…
⬇️ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰
𝐈𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞 𝟏 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 𝐕𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬
It’s a lie to say Issue 1 ends gerrymandering — it will actually enshrine gerrymandering in the Ohio Constitution.
Issue 1 is being pushed by politicians who want a system that will require bureaucrats and their paid consultants to draw new legislative districts that favor one political party over the other.
𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐢-𝐆𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
Issue 1 eliminates anti-gerrymandering restrictions Ohio voters passed (by over 70%) in both 2015 & 2018.
Issue 1 will end the requirement for districts to be compact, meaning there will be districts that stretch over long distances through multiple counties and local communities will be sliced and diced.
A plan just like Issue 1 was tried in Michigan, where three federal judges unanimously ruled that the bureaucrat’s maps resulted in racial gerrymandering.
𝐈𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞 𝟏 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲
The map-drawing bureaucrats and their paid consultants will not be accountable to voters. It will be virtually impossible to remove them from office — even if they abuse their power.
Issue 1 eliminates the 222-year old authority of people chosen by Ohio voters to develop legislative district maps.
Under Issue 1, the bureaucrats who draw maps will be selected by retired political candidates who would be legally permitted to hand pick their friends and political allies.
Issue 1 severely restricts Ohio citizens from going to “any court” to stop the bureaucrats who draw the maps from violating their rights.
𝐈𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞 𝟏 𝐈𝐬 𝐚 𝐁𝐚𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐎𝐡𝐢𝐨 𝐕𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬
Issue 1 will cost millions of taxpayers’ money and will also force the state to pay unlimited legal expenses for the map-drawing bureaucrats and their paid consultants.
Issue 1 is almost entirely funded — with more than $25 million in mostly secret contributions — by out-of-state special interest groups. It will be their back door solution to gain power over Ohioans.

Rush Limbaugh used to call them “low information voters.” Of course that’s the only way Democrats win.
Johnson on Harris’s Campaign Strategy: ‘They’re Counting on the American People to Be Unintelligent’

From Erick Erickson (9/6/2024)

Kamala’s Shifting Beliefs
We all know that Kamala Harris has an evolving set of beliefs since her coronation as the Democrat’s nominee last month. However, Axios has the details on just how much she’s changed.
“Nine areas in which she’s shifted views or her current position is unknown:

Banning plastic straws for environmental concerns. (She’s no longer for it, as Axios reported Thursday.)

A mandate for automakers to only make electric and hydrogen vehicles by 2035. (The Harris campaign won’t say whether she’s still for it.)

Banning fracking because of concerns over global warming and potential water contamination. (No longer favors a ban.)

A mandatory buyback program for assault weapons as part of her gun safety agenda. (She’s dropped this idea.)

Decriminalizing crossing the border from a criminal offense to a civil one. (No longer supports.)

Reparations for slavery, which many progressives argued for during the 2020 primary. (Position unclear.)

Building a wall on the Southwest border, a defining Trump promise that many Democrats have fought. (Accepted it as part of the bipartisan border package that Republicans killed.)

A federal jobs guarantee that was part of her Green New Deal proposal. (No longer for it.)

Medicare for All, which Harris embraced in her first year as senator. (She’s backed off this.)”

Erick Erickson (9/6/2024)

I want to vote for a candidate for president who looks like me.

Sarcasm alert – tongue in cheek

I’m a low information voter who just wants to vote for a presidential candidate who looks like me. Unfortunately, none of the candidates are old, fat, bald, and ugly. Never mind, I won’t bother to vote.

Union Township welcomes new and growing businesses

Some of the below may be pending trustee approval:

Cranium Cookie scheduled their grand opening for October 1 at 11 AM inside the Eastgate Mall (near the food court). Cranium cookies are “brain food.”
A new development is approved for the area north of the Echelon apartments on Glen Este – Withamsville Road. Although not finalized, the new businesses appear to include The Works Pizza, Bad Tom Smith Brewing, By Golly’s Bar & Grill, and more. Well, I guess that is “the works.”
Starbucks is “brewing” plans to potentially raze the old Taco Bell “Tom Yum” on Ohio Pike near Bach Buxton. Their plans are under review.
New construction has begun at the site of the new Wyler Super Store location. They have “shifted into high gear” and are building a used car superstore.
Progress continues at the materials reclamation center off Winding Creek Boulevard, near the Township line. We hope that the construction activities will conclude this year.
Panda Express has razed the car wash next to the Union Township library and will build a new location there. It’s an “appetizing” venture. The overpass construction is delaying their start date. This project is beginning to look like a 2025 completion.
Mercy Health urgent care center is under construction in the Jungle Jim’s parking lot in front of LaRosa’s. They’ll soon be repairing “broken” bones, skin, and more. We are waiting for the tenant to complete interior buildout on this, and are waiting for an updated timeline.
Children’s Hospital is under construction in the Ivy Pointe area near TQL. Our concerns have been “healed.”
Wawa will be taking over the old Mt. Carmel Kroger location. Rah-rah to Wawa for taking over a shuttered business. Demolition has begun and construction is expected to be complete early next year.
Alfaa purchased and submitted plans to build on an empty lot on the corner of Aicholtz Road and Eastgate Blvd. I’m wondering if they sell alfalfa sprouts?
A small strip mall is coming to the corner of SR 32 and Mt. Carmel Tobasco Road on Yates Lane. I expect them to be rolling in dough soon. A zoning permit has been issued. No start date has been announced.
The old Valero on the corner of Ohio Pike and Bennett Road is under new ownership. They will be tearing down the old building and constructing a new convenience and wine store. The previous condition of the property was certainly something to whine about.
The Home2 Suites is expected to open very soon. They have made certain “accommodations” and residents can “sleep well” knowing that.
Honda East will be “shifting gears” to “rev up” sales by expanding their operations in Cherry Grove. They might “tire,” “brake,” and “shock” you, but they are “on a roll.” Wouldn’t it be nice if they offered free samples? Construction has been delayed while they finalize their plans.
TQL will be adding an additional 1,000 jobs at its sprawling UT campus. The new southern wing will look similar to their recently added northern wing. The project is “trucking” along. “Total Quality” will be a “Logistic” requirement.
Kroger has “crushing” plans to demolish Sears and build a new 123,722 square foot Kroger Marketplace store detached from the mall. The store will include a Starbucks, drive through pharmacy, expanded deli, expanded bakery, a Murray Cheese section, sushi, expanded adult beverage section, apparel, home goods, expanded grocery section, and a Kroger fuel center with 18 fuel pumps. The fuel will be on the recently shuttered Wendy’s side of the parking lot. The northeast side of the store will have a parking area for on-line pickup. The current Kroger store on Eastgate Boulevard will likely close in coordination with opening the new Kroger Marketplace store. All plans are currently on hold pending litigation with the owner of the Eastgate Mall.

The Becker Report – August 2024

Beckerisms

“Killer” or “Comrade” Kamala Harris

San Francisco Liberal – Not the “San Francisco Treat”

In the July 2024 edition of The Becker Report, I stated the following:

Her top issue is the right-to-kill, through the ninth month of pregnancy, for any reason or no reason. She believes that every “male” and female “birthing person” is entitled to bodily autonomy. It is unclear if she supports prostitution and illicit drug abuse. If she doesn’t, why not?
The Becker Report – July 2024

I have since learned that Harris supports prostitution. Are there no bounds to her decadence?
Apparently not. “Killer” Kamala has been promising to shove homicide by abortion or “abortioncide” through the ninth month of pregnancy, for any reason or no reason, down the throats of every American via federal legislation.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, Democrats and their ilk, wanted to enshrine slavery rights nationwide. They believed that every American should have the freedom to choose whether or not to own slaves. In their twisted minds, this was a human rights issue.
John Becker

As the centuries have gone by, the topics have changed but, unfortunately, not the mentality. In contrast, and at least to some extent, Republicans have stood firm as abolitionists since the 19th century.
Click here to learn more about “Killer” or “Comrade” Kamala’s policies.

Price Controls?

In a free economy, prices are set by the forces of supply and demand. Goods and services will not be offered unless the selling prices exceed that of the cost of producing those goods and services. Those costs include salaries, benefits, taxes, regulations, fuel, raw material costs, shrinkage, and the list goes on. Nothing good can, or has ever, come out of government mandated price controls.
Price controls result in shortages and the stifling of innovation. If food can’t be sold profitably, it won’t be made available for (legal) purchase. However, the black-market will thrive.

“Tampon” Tim Waltz

I want to believe that these things can’t be true:

Walz signs bill requiring schools to stock period products in boys’ bathrooms
Meet Tim Waltz

The following is an interesting description of the first day of the DNC convention:

The first night of the Vagina Monologues live from Chicago concluded well after midnight last night. The stage production, a staple of left wing America, lectured Americans on the need to kill kids for most of the evening and ended with elder abuse.
Joe Biden, their incumbent, was shoved well past prime time and his bed time. Perhaps they hoped he would fall asleep before taking stage. He rambled and slurred and defended his record and a supposed economic recovery no one feels.
In the end, this is Joe Biden’s legacy:
• War in Ukraine
• War in the Middle East
• Americans held hostage by Hamas
• Gas up 50%
• Electricity up 31%
• Groceries up 21%
• Rent up 22%
• Restaurant prices up 23%
• Your cost of living is up and your income is down.
At the end of the Monologues, the Democrats again celebrated the feminine desire to kill babies and the old man shuffled off the stage, out to pasture, and into the history books.
The Democrats’ final insult in their coup against the man who beat Trump was to make sure as few people saw him as possible. They’d rather talk about abortion.
Erick Erickson 8/20/2024

He missed Biden’s unconditional surrender in Afghanistan.

For another take on the DNC, this is a good read: A Christian Response to the DNC: God’s Truth Is ‘Being Reframed’ by Democrats

Kamala Harris Suggests Americans Struggling To Make Ends Meet Just Try Sleeping With Their Boss

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In an uplifting, inspiring address to the American people, Vice-President Kamala Harris offered a valuable bit of advice to American citizens struggling to put food on the table: just try sleeping with your boss.
While Kamala refused to elaborate on her pearl of wisdom for the everyday American, she did go on record by saying that it “worked for me every time.”
“So if we examine the passage of time in making ends meet, we can see that the easiest solution is to just try sleeping around with your boss,” Kamala explained, cackling at every pause for breath. “HAHAHAHA! It works every time — and there’s great significance to the passage of every time. Sleeping with your boss is very simple: you just sleep with them in order to make ends meet. That way your ends will meet. There is great significance to making ends meet. HAHAHAHA!!”
While several political commentators have compared Kamala’s advice to Marie Antoinette’s infamous “Let them eat cake,” most mainstream media outlets have thoroughly debunked this far-right conspiracy theory with the irrefutable observation that “Kamala never told anyone to eat cake — she just advised sleeping around.”
At publishing time, Kamala Harris had also suggested that Americans who are struggling financially should just try getting hired in a better job as DEI picks.

Union Township Update

Natural Gas Aggregation

The good news is that the horrid UT natural gas aggregation rate of $0.839/ccf will soon expire. (In all fairness, it was a competitive rate when it was originally negotiated.) The new rate will be $0.5894/ccf in November. To put that in perspective the August Duke rate is $0.6458/ccf. However, if you prefer to manage your gas supply contracts independently, outside of the aggregation program, you can view various rates offered by a host of different suppliers that did not bid on the aggregation program at EnergyChoice.Ohio.gov/ApplesToApples.aspx. Some of the available offers may be more competitive than the Township aggregation rate, but please be sure to carefully review the rates and offers to make sure you do not incur early termination fees or other hidden costs if you elect to manage your gas supply contract outside of the aggregation program.
The aggregation rate will be fixed for 12 months with no additional fees and no early termination fee. Per a vote of the people of Union Township, energy aggregation enrollment is automatic for most residents. There are two ways to be automatically enrolled: 1)You are currently in the UT gas aggregation program; 2) You currently purchase your gas energy from Duke. If you already purchase gas from another independent energy supplier, you should not receive an aggregation enrollment notice. Don’t confuse gas energy with gas distribution as they are two separate components of your underlying gas bill.. (All of us rely on Duke for distribution, maintenance, repair, and billing.)
For natural gas customers who are in either of the two above categories, opt-out letters will soon be in your mailbox. The choice is yours. More information is here: EnergyAlliances.com/Union-Township-Clermont-co.
As always, if you have questions about the program, please feel free to contact the Township at 513-752-1741 to discuss the program or to inquire with specific questions. Or call me at 513-753-6440.

The Becker Report – July 2024

John Becker The Becker Report

Beckerisms

President Biden announces his unconditional surrender to Donald J. Trump

After Biden’s unconditional surrender in Afghanistan, I’m beginning to see a pattern here.

Biden or Harris?

Back in the day when Joe Biden had more than half a brain, he was a relatively moderate Democrat. He had to completely sell out to the left-wing to become their nominee for president. Conversely, Harris is an authentic left-winger. No convincing is necessary. She embraces and is all-in for the left-wing’s insane extremist agenda.

Vice President Harris accepts the coronation to run for president

Her top issue is the right-to-kill, through the ninth month of pregnancy, for any reason or no reason. She believes that every male and female “birthing person” is entitled to bodily autonomy. It is unclear if she supports prostitution and illicit drug abuse. If she doesn’t, why not?
Her other agenda items include gun control and making it easier to illegally rig elections.
What about oil exploration and production? Larry Kudlow has the answer.

According to Gary Bauer’s End of Day Report (7/23/2024):

Harris is an extremely left-wing San Francisco Democrat. In the Senate, she was ranked as the most liberal senator – more Marxist than Bernie Sanders!
Harris co-sponsored the socialized healthcare scheme, Medicare For All.
She endorsed the radical Green New Deal.
Harris co-sponsored legislation calling for reparations for slavery.
She compared ICE agents to KKK terrorists, and viciously smeared our Border Patrol agents.
She also supports giving free healthcare to illegal aliens.
Harris had a 100% pro-abortion voting record with Planned Parenthood and has led the Biden administration’s efforts to ensure there are as many abortions as possible.
Harris immediately accepted Jussie Smollett’s absurd claim that he was attacked on the streets of Chicago at 3:00 AM in subfreezing temperatures by Trump supporters.
She supported a fund that bailed out the rioters who were destroying businesses in Minneapolis.
Harris has undermined Israel in its war against Hamas.

Harris Failure Friday: Kamala Failing To Rewrite History

Border Czar? Rewriting history
And this: Border Czar Kamala Harris is responsible for the border crisis.

SCOTUS Rules for Limited Presidential Immunity

President Biden protected from criminal charges including crimes against humanity.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor believes that President Biden could have legally ordered Donald Trump’s attempted assassination. But, did he?

According to Joe Biden “the Supreme Court has just ruled that there are virtually no limits on the power of the presidency” and “a president is now above the law.” Well, the Clintons always thought that.
Only The Hague can get Biden now.

Project 2025

What is it and why are the left-wingers horrified?

Its policy recommendations are as follows:

Secure the Border
Unleash American Energy
De-Weaponize the Federal Government and Dismantle the Deep State
Improve Education

Well, that explains it. More information is here.

Union Township welcomes new and growing businesses

Some of the below may be pending trustee approval:

Garage Golf is open for business on the corner of Clough Pike and Mt. Carmel Tobasco Road. The dimples are everywhere.
Panda Express has razed the car wash next to the Union Township library and will build a new location there. It’s an “appetizing” venture. The overpass construction is delaying their start date. This project is beginning to look like a 2025 completion.
Mercy Health urgent care center is under construction in the Jungle Jim’s parking lot in front of LaRosa’s. They’ll soon be repairing “broken” bones, skin, and more.
Children’s Hospital is under construction in the Ivy Pointe area near TQL. Our concerns have been “healed.”
Wawa will be taking over the old Mt. Carmel Kroger location. Rah-rah to Wawa for taking over a shuttered business. Demolition has begun and completion is expected early next year.
Alfaa will be building on an empty lot on the corner of Aicholtz Road and Eastgate Blvd. I’m wondering if they sell alfalfa sprouts?
A small strip mall is coming to the corner of SR 32 and Mt. Carmel Tobasco Road on Yates Lane. I expect them to be rolling in dough soon.
The old Valero on the corner of Ohio Pike and Bennett Road is under new ownership. They will be tearing down the old building and constructing a new convenience and wine store. The previous condition of the property was certainly something to whine about.
The Home2 Suites is expected to open in August. They have made certain “accommodations” and residents can “sleep well” knowing that it is expected to open soon.
Honda East will be “shifting gears” to “rev up” sales by expanding their operations in Cherry Grove. They might “tire,” “brake,” and “shock” you, but they are “on a roll.” Wouldn’t it be nice if they offered free samples? Construction is expected to begin in this summer with completion in late 2024 or early 2025.
TQL will be adding an additional 1,000 jobs at its sprawling UT campus. The new southern wing will look similar to their recently added northern wing. The project is “trucking” along. “Total Quality” will be a “Logistic” requirement.
Kroger has “crushing” plans to demolish Sears and build a new 123,722 square foot Kroger Marketplace store detached from the mall. The store will include a Starbucks, drive through pharmacy, expanded deli, expanded bakery, a Murray Cheese section, sushi, expanded adult beverage section, apparel, home goods, expanded grocery section, and a Kroger fuel center with 18 fuel pumps. The fuel will be on the recently shuttered Wendy’s side of the parking lot. The northeast side of the store will have a parking area for on-line pickup. The current Kroger store on Eastgate Boulevard will likely close in coordination with opening the new Kroger Marketplace store. All plans are currently on hold pending litigation with the owner of the Eastgate Mall.

“Guilty”

Donald Trump found “guilty” by kangaroo court, partisan Democrat judge, and Democrat Manhattan jury

Rather than a fair trial, it was a show trial. The whole world watched the miscarriage of justice and lawfare that the Democrats have proven themselves capable of.
The “jury of his peers” was a cross section of liberal Democrats from Manhattan. They were led by a Democrat judge and Democrat prosecutor fulfilling a campaign promise. Really? That was a fair trial?
Considering that the “conviction” was a flagrant theft of justice, it begs the question about the 2020 election. Maybe Trump was right all along. Maybe the 2020 election was stolen from justice. Maybe it really was rigged.

Trump – Biden Debate

Well, President Biden didn’t wander off or attempt to shake hands with a ghost. Some would call that a win. But his physical and mental frailty was quite evident on stage. Additionally, he needed to get escorted off of the stage by his wife.
Now that the major media can no longer pretend they never knew, they are now reporting it as if it is new news.
These quotes are from Gary Bauer’s End of Day Report (6/28/2024):
“I watched the Biden-Trump debate . . . and it made me weep. I cannot remember a more heartbreaking moment in American presidential campaign politics in my lifetime — precisely because of what it revealed: Joe Biden . . . has no business running for re-election.”
–New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman

“I hope he [Biden] reviews his debate performance . . . and withdraws from the race.”
— New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof wrote.

“I think it was a f***ing disaster. I think it was maybe the worst debate I’ve ever seen in my entire life. . . Joe Biden, in every single way, failed at that debate.”
–Obama speechwriter Jon Faverau

“That was painful. . . He didn’t do well at all. . . He had a test to meet tonight to restore confidence of the country . . . and he failed. . . There is time for this party to figure out a different way forward.”
— CNN commentator Van Jones

The video is here: Biden and Trump in the First 2024 Presidential Debate
The New York Times is extraordinarily incompetent, but at least they got this headline correct: “To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Race.”
LARRY KUDLOW: Trump’s debate performance last night just changed the course of this entire election

A final note about CNN

On the topic of exceeding expectations, I expected Trump to be debating both moderators in addition to Biden. To their credit, and despite their on-going and long time hatred of Trump, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash chose to be facilitators, rather than participants, in the debate. Kudos to them for their professionalism.

The Becker Report – May 2024

John Becker The Becker Report

Beckerisms

Inflation

Is it caused by so-called “corporate greed” or government policy?

The following is an arguably over-simplified presentation of basic economic theory:

Last year when the UAW was on strike, polling indicated that “we the people” backed higher wages for the workers. Why are “we the people” now upset about higher prices for cars and trucks and the higher costs for fleet customers pushing up their prices?

Ohioans increased the minimum wage and might do so again. Is there not a direct correlation between wages, cost of goods and services produced, and prices? A higher minimum wage will produce higher inflation and higher unemployment for the workers in that wage band.

Generally, prices are set by the equilibrium of supply and demand. When the government spends more money than it has taken from us, it borrows or “prints” more money to pay for it. Higher demand for loans (government or consumer) leads to higher interest rates. Higher interest rates increase costs to businesses and consumers. Therefore, businesses are forced to increase prices.
All else being equal, printing more money decreases the value of existing dollars. When dollars are worth less, it takes more of them to purchase the same goods and services (higher prices).
Let’s consider President Biden’s policy of “forgiving” student loans:

Those loans aren’t “forgiven” per se. The government borrows the money to payoff those loans.
Increased borrowing increases demand for borrowed money which increases interest rates.
Increased government borrowing increases the national debt.
Higher debt results in higher interest payments.
Being as the government borrows money to pay the interest on the national debt, higher interest rates and payments increases the national debt and the cycle of financial malfeasance feeds on itself. (This, of course, is unsustainable and will eventually end in calamity.)

Let’s consider grocery prices at Kroger for example:
Is it “corporate greed” when Kroger raises prices? Or is it:

Higher borrowing costs for investments in plant and equipment?
Higher wages?
Higher fuel costs?
Higher utility costs?
Higher wholesale supplier costs?
Higher taxes?

Property taxes

Taxes are a necessary evil. Property taxes fund local services such as public schools, social services, safety services (police/fire), roads, parks, etc. When we vote to raise those taxes, it has an inflationary impact on prices. Back to the Kroger example, taxes increase their cost of doing business; hence price increases. Likewise, commercial and residential rents increase due to the owner’s increased property taxes. Higher lease payments, of course, increases the lessee’s cost of doing business; hence price increases. And, of course, residential rents increase as well.
Democrats like to scream “corporate greed.” What about “government greed”? President Biden wants to repeal the Trump tax cuts. Schools and local governments are always looking forward to the next levy to cover their increasing costs.
Consider what happens if you refuse to pay your taxes: After some lengthy due process, armed men will eventually arrive at your home demanding your property and eviction. And if you resist…

Real heroes

There are many current examples of real heroes. Harrison Butker immediately comes to mind.
I like Micah Price too. During his graduation speech, he urged his classmates to seek Jesus Christ as “your answer” for “the way, the truth and life.”
My response to them: Amen

TQL will be adding an additional 1,000 jobs at its sprawling UT campus. The new southern wing will look similar to their recently added northern wing. The project is “trucking” along. “Total Quality” will be a “Logistic” requirement.
Kroger has “crushing” plans to demolish Sears and build a new 123,722 square foot Kroger Marketplace store detached from the mall.

Trump Trial

Well, I’ve got to give credit where credit is due. Democrats ran on a platform of going after Trump by any means necessary. They have fulfilled their campaign promises to the point of:

Keeping him pinned down in court and off of the campaign trail.
Imposing a gag order so he can’t defend himself publicly.
Orchestrating a jury pool virtually guaranteed to return a guilty verdict.

In all likelihood, any kangaroo court conviction would get overturned on appeal. However, it might have to go all the way to the US Supreme Court for that to happen.

Hamas and Israel

After the October 6 brutal sneak attack against Israel by Hamas, Israel has been shooting back. While the Hamas terrorists hide behind women and children, they complain about civilian casualties.
While the “innocent civilians” elected Hamas to run Gaza and continue to support them, they blame Israel for the death and destruction that Hamas and the Gazans brought upon themselves. If the people of Gaza want the bloodshed to stop, I have a few suggestions:

Pressure Hamas to release all of the hostages that they haven’t murdered yet and the bodies of the ones that they have raped and killed. (They don’t even provide any lip-service to that end.)
Surrender the Hamas terrorists to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
Surrender all offensive weapons.
Elect a new government committed to peace with Israel rather that peace after Israel’s destruction.

Otherwise, Israel will have to continue to root out the Hamas terrorists and perhaps occupy the region to ensure peace. That might actually be the best outcome for the the people of Gaza.

Union Township welcomes new and growing businesses

Some of the below may be pending trustee approval:

Outback Steakhouse is “firing up” a new restaurant near Meijer’s where the old Starbucks and a video store used to be. It will seat 187, have a drive through for pickup, and is expected to open in mid-May. The “stakes” could be high and profits are expected to “sizzle.”
Grocery Outlet is constructing a new store in the old Bed, Bath, and Beyond location in the Eastgate Pavilion near Best Buy and expect completion in September. They are expecting to “produce” profits.
Panda Express is looking to raze the car wash next to the Union Township library and build a new location there. It’s an “appetizing” venture. The overpass construction is delaying their start date. The earliest will be spring with completion seven months later.
Mercy Health urgent care center is under construction in the Jungle Jim’s parking lot in front of LaRosa’s. They’ll soon be repairing “broken” bones, skin, and more.
i love noods: noodles, dim sum, and bubble tea will soon be open in the Jungle Jim’s shopping center. Who doesn’t love “noods”?
Children’s Hospital is under construction in the Ivy Pointe area near TQL. Our concerns have been “healed.”
Wawa will be taking over the old Mt. Carmel Kroger location. Rah-rah to Wawa for taking over a shuttered business. They expect demolition to begin in the Spring and completion early next year.
Alfaa will be building on an empty lot on the corner of Aicholtz Road and Eastgate Blvd. I’m wondering if they sell alfalfa sprouts?
A small strip mall is coming to the corner of SR 32 and Mt. Carmel Tobasco Road on Yates Lane. I expect them to be rolling in dough soon.
The old Valero on the corner of Ohio Pike and Bennett Road is under new ownership. They will be tearing down the old building and constructing a new convenience and wine store. The previous condition of the property was certainly something to whine about.
A Hilton Hotel has been perpetually under construction near the Hampton Inn and Meijer’s. They have made certain “accommodations” and residents can “sleep well” knowing that construction has recommenced and is expected to open soon.
Honda East will be “shifting gears” to “rev up” sales by expanding their operations in Cherry Grove. They might “tire,” “brake,” and “shock” you, but they are “on a roll.” Wouldn’t it be nice if they offered free samples? Construction is expected to begin in late spring or early summer with completion in late 2024.
PetSuites is “grooming” a new location on Old SR 74 next to Office Max. Construction is nearly complete.
TQL will be adding an additional 1,000 jobs at its sprawling UT campus. The new southern wing will look similar to their recently added northern wing. The project is “trucking” along. “Total Quality” will be a “Logistic” requirement.
Kroger has “crushing” plans to demolish Sears and build a new 123,722 square foot Kroger Marketplace store detached from the mall. The store will include a Starbucks, drive through pharmacy, expanded deli, expanded bakery, a Murray Cheese section, sushi, expanded adult beverage section, apparel, home goods, expanded grocery section, and a Kroger fuel center with 18 fuel pumps. The fuel will be on the recently shuttered Wendy’s side of the parking lot. The northeast side of the store will have a parking area for on-line pickup. The current Kroger store on Eastgate Boulevard will likely close in coordination with opening the new Kroger Marketplace store. All plans are currently on hold pending litigation with the owner of the Eastgate Mall.

RIP

Brigid Kelly

My heart sank when I learned that my former colleague, Brigid Kelly, recently entered hospice. At only 40 years old, she died on March 26, 2024.
During the four years we served together in the Ohio House of Representatives, Brigid and I were not only on opposite sides of the aisle, but also on opposite sides of every major issue.
Regardless, I found her to be a sweet lady with a ready smile, and easy to work with. She always fought for the principles that she believed in and I always respected her for that. Brigid was a statesman and a skilled legislator who knew how to work across the aisle to get things done for her constituents.
Rest in Peace. Brigid Kelly will be missed by many; including me.

Donald Trump and Kari Lake are dead wrong to defend IVF: here’s why

How Can The Church Find Trustworthy Media Sources?

According to Gary Bauer’s End of Day Report – January 27, 2024

What follows will give you that insight which will help you discern the best media choices.
To begin, you’ve noticed the shift away from straight factual reporting into entertainment. Anchors look good, personality matters, and fun features may be included. With the immense number of ways a consumer can access news, each outlet tries to make it interesting in order to grab you and keep you.
That translates to dollars for them and dollars to pay for staff. More cameramen, reporters, researchers, techs means more stories which in turn increases the chance for more audience, and the cycle goes on.
Edgy, shocking, visual, human stories thrill us; they elicit an emotional reaction which keeps us there. Now you can understand how the news might be skewed toward thrilling you and maybe some accuracy is sacrificed.
News outlets are imperfect; not just imperfect in their accuracy, but in their preparation (hurried, low staff), and imperfect in their autonomy (often using other outlets’ stories and old information on file). Also which stories are run may be decided by big breaking news that subsumes an otherwise important story.
Yikes – how does any normal reporting ever happen, with all that going on!?
Add in ambitious reporters, who wittingly or unwittingly, light up a story that doesn’t warrant the push. And maybe mix in a whole blob of personal pov’s and you see the filters any facts go through until the end result, which may not be exactly a factual, balanced report. Increasingly, those pov’s reflect one political aisle more than the other.
Here are some ways they do it…
Watch how a reporter asks a question. Common strategies to twist answers are to offer two bad choices: “Are your views really that narrow? Or are you simply uninformed?”
And watch for shock/disbelief/disapproval on a reporter’s face as they lead the viewer’s reaction. These are shaping strategies as the reporter seeks to shape your opinion either for or against the person being interviewed.
Other ways to shape a story are to omit certain details, to amplify others, to select glowing words to attach to certain ideas or the opposite.
And then there are images. Pictures can definitely shape our opinion. Just look up Michael Dukakis and you’ll see how his presidential campaign was ruined. One visual did it.
Images are ultra powerful and the media knows it very well. They select a person to interview, whose physical looks fit a narrative they like, for good or ill. (It’s so important for men and women in the church to be mindful of messages sent by dress and grooming, especially with any kind of public profile.)
But when you’re consuming news now be aware of the story within a story shaping your opinion by the visuals presented.
Another shaping strategy: reporters know how to use their voices to express confidence and assurance, certainty and authority. A savvy media consumer looks past that, past all of this and discerns truthful content.
And where do we find truthful content? Well, I went to the top, to our country’s foremost knowledgeable authority on the news outlets out there and how good a job they do in their reporting.

Disclosure: I am on the board of the Media Research Center which is America’s premier media watchdog. I asked my dear friend and colleague Brent Bozell, founder and President of the MRC, to point us to the best, trusted sources. Here’s his counsel:
Let’s preface this exercise by granting that “news” in the traditional meaning of the word is dead. Market demands and financial realities have moved us into the infotainment space, a combination of news, entertainment, information and commentary all rolled into one. (Example: I can’t think of a single news program on television that doesn’t incorporate all four elements.) So, what follows is not news in its pure sense but the closest we can come to that. I am not prioritizing, just listing.
A. Newspapers
Newspapers are but a whisper of what they once were. The public has gone to video and the cost of paper has become exorbitant. Still, there are entities out there that have outsized influence. Most, if not all, have online editions that include more information.

The Washington Times. It’s quite slimmed down, but I read it daily and can tell you it’s excellent. It reports stories correctly, but also breaks stories regularly. Sadly, it doesn’t get the exposure it deserves. But for me it’s the best paper in America. In fact, it’s the only news outlet I can think of that bucks the “infotainment” trend.
The New York Post. It’s gone into the real news business, especially on the investigative side, with some top shelf reporters. It was the Post, for example, that broke the Hunter Biden story.
The Epoch Times. This paper came into being about a decade ago. Its thing is not so much investigative journalism as it is solid news reporting. People like to suggest it’s a far-right paper, and it may focus on news of interest only to a small market of conservatives, and yet I cannot recall anything they’ve done that’s been determined to be wrong.
B. Television
Sadly, there’s very little news on television anymore, unless it’s a major breaking story (January 6, October 7, the start of the Ukraine war, etc.). It’s gone into the commentary mode, because that’s what the market wants. With that said…
Fox News. The most popular shows are “The Five” and the “Jessie Watters Show.” With all due respect to them, they contain gossip, but that’s what the market wants. If you want news, Brett Baier’s newscast (6 PM East Coast Time) is the place to go. It’s not all “Breaking News,” but when there is real breaking news, Fox is the place to go.
But here’s something fun. If you want to get a bead on what will be the news story of the day, watch “Fox and Friends” in the morning. The overall best show is Levin’s weekend show. More on that in a minute.
Newsmax. It made a strong run after the 2020 election. Its ratings shot up, but have now come back down to a rather distant second place behind Fox News. Still, it is quite popular with some conservatives who see it as more populist than Fox. There’s not as much reporting as there once was, and still lots of re-runs of interesting documentaries because they don’t have the resources to populate their programming 24/7. Still, they’re worth watching.
OAN. It was an excellent network, but they have since waned.
The BBC. Yes, you read that correctly. They are liberal, especially in their coverage of things in the United States, and that seems to be their primary focus. But their strength is coverage of international news. When you consider how important the international scene is today, it’s imperative to know about it. Where international news is concerned, the BBC is quite good and I go there.
C. Radio
One reason Rush Limbaugh was king: while his commentary was excellent, it was based on a correct interpretation of real news. With that in mind:
Sean Hannity. He is number one in audience, and it’s not just because he has great guests but also because he covers news every single day. Now, reality check: It’s only one or two or max, three stories repeated every few minutes. But that’s talk radio: everyone does it now.
Mark Levin. Of the popular conservative talk shows, Levin is the most serious and most intellectual. He will cover the important news of the day if a political issue, and especially if a political issue in the legal space, he’ll do a deep dive into the constitutional issues surrounding it.
Listeners come to understand the “why” of a story’s importance far better listening to Mark than to anyone else. Something else. As opposed to everyone else, both in television and on radio, Mark encourages his guests to take all the time they’d like formulating their responses – a blast of fresh air and why I enjoy appearing on his program more than anyone else’s.
D. Online
The newspapers outlined above have online appendages, but there are numerous online news outlets that don’t have paper equivalents.
Daily Wire. These people are interesting because a) they have plentiful resources, a product of an excellent business plan; b) it has attracted great talent in Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh and the like; and c) they have great news, great information, great commentary, and – and this is becoming their signature – great comedy. They are still relatively new, and filled with relatively young people, so they have their growing pains.
Daily Caller. This is Tucker Carlson’s outfit. It seemingly was more prominent a few years ago, breaking more stories with more investigative journalism, and I can’t explain why it’s fallen back. Its news product is good, and even if reduced, its investigative operation, mainly through the Daily Caller Foundation, is excellent.
Breitbart. Breitbart continues to thrive with a full-throated news network. One could criticize it by saying its news focuses too much on politics, with too much commentary in its stories that is in itself projected as news; and with too much entertainment fluff. Probably all true. Still. There’s excellent stuff here and the reader can see it.
Daily Signal. This is the Heritage Foundation’s news site. Good stuff here, but limited. I sense more resources are going to go into it, so it’ll grow nicely and professionally – because it’s the Heritage Foundation.
E. Podcasts
It seems everyone has his own podcast (this writer excepted) these days, but there are a few that will give the listener a good understanding of the news. I profess not to be learned enough to offer an opinion, but there has to be a reason why Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk are far and away the most popular. Podcasts are the longest of long form journalism so the listener does get an in depth understanding of news stories.

Final thoughts:

I probably overlooked good outlets, and apologize. Conversely, there are outlets listed above that may not have made the list two years ago.
This is a fluid list. A few years ago, you’d have found the Drudge Report on anyone’s list because of its seemingly dispassionate news aggregation effort, offering dozens of headlines from dozens of different news outlets on a daily basis. Then it went anti-Trump. Today, it’s anti-Trump on steroids, and it has lost its cache.
Two years from now it is guaranteed that this list will be different, with some of these gone, and some new ones coming out of nowhere. The communications industry is evolving at a lightning-fast pace (two years ago no one had ever heard of TikTok, yet today it dominates social media worldwide) and there is no telling what outlets, and what new technologies will emerge.
I predict within five years there will be a new conservative news network. There is a huge market opportunity here.
Keep an eye on “News Nation,” a new network out there. Its owners insist they want to be balanced. We should not immediately dismiss them because they’re new. Time will tell.
With one exception, if anyone tells you social media is where one finds news, flog him. Social media is a necessary evil, especially if you want to reach the young, but at best it provides only information. The exception? X. All news is projected through X today, which is to say that anyone who has a news story promotes it on X with a tweet (or whatever it’s called today). If you’re on social media, X will provide you news.
And, finally, A.I. This may change everything. In fact, it will change everything. There is no telling, none whatsoever, where we will be in the world of communications in ten years, even without AI. But when you throw this new technology into the mix, I will venture to say that nothing can be safely predicted two years from now. So, for now, I stand by what I write – barely.

Union Township welcomes new and growing businesses

Some of the below may be pending trustee approval:

Outback Steakhouse is “firing up” a new restaurant near Meijer’s where the old Starbucks and a video store used to be. It will seat 187, have a drive through for pickup, and is expected to open in mid-March. The “stakes” could be high and profits are expected to “sizzle.”
Taco John’s “flushed” their plans to build a new restaurant near the Sam’s Club fuel pumps. Sewer access can be a “crappy” problem.
Grocery Outlet is constructing a new store in the old Bed, Bath, and Beyond location in the Eastgate Pavilion near Best Buy and expect completion in September. They are expecting to “produce” profits.
Panda Express is looking to raze the car wash next to the Union Township library and build a new location there. It’s an “appetizing” venture. The overpass construction is delaying their start date. The earliest will be spring with completion seven months later.
Mercy Health urgent care center is under construction in the Jungle Jim’s parking lot in front of LaRosa’s. They’ll soon be repairing “broken” bones, skin, and more.
i love noods: noodles, dim sum, and bubble tea will soon be open in the Jungle Jim’s shopping center. Who doesn’t love “noods”?
Children’s Hospital is under construction in the Ivy Pointe area near TQL. Our concerns have been “healed.”
Wawa will be taking over the old Mt. Carmel Kroger location. Rah-rah to Wawa for taking over a shuttered business. They expect demolition to begin in the Spring and completion early next year.
Alfaa will be building on an empty lot on the corner of Aicholtz Road and Eastgate Blvd. I’m wondering if they sell alfalfa sprouts?
A small strip mall is coming to the corner of SR 32 and Mt. Carmel Tobasco Road on Yates Lane. I expect them to be rolling in dough soon.
The old Valero on the corner of Ohio Pike and Bennett Road is under new ownership. They will be tearing down the old building and constructing a new convenience and wine store. The previous condition of the property was certainly something to whine about.
A Hilton Hotel has been perpetually under construction near the Hampton Inn and Meijer’s. They have made certain “accommodations” and residents can “sleep well” knowing that construction has recommenced.
Honda East will be “shifting gears” to “rev up” sales by expanding their operations in Cherry Grove. They might “tire,” “brake,” and “shock” you, but they are “on a roll.” Wouldn’t it be nice if they offered free samples?
PetSuites is “grooming” a new location on Old SR 74 next to Office Max. Construction is in progress.
TQL will be adding an additional 1,000 jobs at its sprawling UT campus. The new southern wing will look similar to their recently added northern wing. The project is “trucking” along. “Total Quality” will be a “Logistic” requirement.
Kroger has “crushing” plans to demolish Sears and build a new 123,722 square foot Kroger Marketplace store detached from the mall. The store will include a Starbucks, drive through pharmacy, expanded deli, expanded bakery, a Murray Cheese section, sushi, expanded adult beverage section, apparel, home goods, expanded grocery section, and a Kroger fuel center with 18 fuel pumps. The fuel will be on the recently shuttered Wendy’s side of the parking lot. The northeast side of the store will have a parking area for on-line pickup. The current Kroger store on Eastgate Boulevard will likely close in coordination with opening the new Kroger Marketplace store.
