On Monday, May 11, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Eastman Office (GBI) was requested by the Telfair County Sheriff’s Office to investigate a homicide that occurred at approximately 2:17 p.m. A shooting incident occurred at a residence located at 596 East Oak Street in McRae-Helena.
Preliminary information indicates that Clint Eugene Hart, age 45, of Uvalda, was asked to leave the residence by James (Jimmy) Richard Joines, Jr., age 50, of Eastman, and a confrontation occurred that led to Joines allegedly shooting and killing Hart. Joines is a relative of the homeowner of where the incident occurred. Joines alleges he acted in self-defense. Joines is cooperating with investigators and no charges have been filed at this time.
An autopsy is scheduled to be performed on Hart at the GBI Crime Lab in Pooler. A thorough and complete investigation will be conducted. At the conclusion of the investigation, the complete case file will be provided to the Oconee Circuit District Attorney’s Office for review.
If anyone has information regarding this investigation, please contact the GBI Eastman office at 478-374-6988 or Telfair County Sheriff’s Office at 229-868-6621.
SPORTS
BY: RUSS REGAN
Unlike last weekend, with the NFL draft, there weren’t any live sports over the weekend.
We had some things like a virtual Kentucky Derby and actually a Falcons trade. Also, Major League Baseball had some news that is somewhat optimistic.
As most of you know, Saturday was suppose to be the running of the Kentucky Derby. Of course, it was not run but a “virtual” version was done. It was an “all-star race” so to speak as is was only run with triple crown winners.
The 1977 winner Seattle Slew had the lead until the stretch until the greatest of all-time made his move. Secretariat, the 1973 winner would win in the end. No margin of victory was given.
The good news is there will be a real Kentucky Derby, we hope, September 5, 2020.
I admit I made a big deal out of the Falcons not making a trade in last weekend’s draft, but they wasted little time making a very small but questionable one.
They sent a seventh round pick to the Dolphins for former number one pick Charles Harris. He was the Dolphins top pick the 23rd overall from Missouri. He is a defensive end that has produced virtually nothing. He has just 3.5 sacks in his three years and he is no longer a starter. He will make just less than two million dollars this season. He was due over ten million option for 2021; fortunately the Falcons declined the option.
Speaking of options, the Falcons have declined the option on their own top pick of the 2017 draft. Defensive end Takk McKenley has had a rough three years as a Falcon and has had shoulder issues. If you were wondering, yes, the Falcons did trade a third round pick to move up to get him. Maybe the team can dump him for a seventh round to get the other pick back.
There was other Falcon news as it was announced that their game in London has been moved back to Atlanta. They were scheduled to play Denver but the game was moved back to Atlanta. They were scheduled to play Denver but that game has been moved due to obvious reasons.
Also there were projections for the compensatory picks for the 2012 draft. The picks are given to teams that lost players to free agencies. Austin Hooper and Devonte Campbell. It looks like they may get on extra fifth round pick and possibly a pair of sixth rounder’s.
The NFL will officially name those awarded picks the first of May.
The powers that be in major league baseball say that it looks hopeful that teams will play in their home ballparks when the season starts. Baseball has several other plans like the three divisions on spring training sights. It is hopeful that the season will start late June or early July. There is no set on the number of games on the schedule yet. I know that 100 games and possibly an early December world series are hopeful. It doesn’t look like the fans will be in the stadiums when the season starts.

Letter to the editor
Dear editor;
My name is Dolores Dennis.
I am 93 years old. My husband died in 1969 when he was only 48 years old. He was sick many years before he died and was unable to work so it was a very difficult time for him and he often struggled with depression.
Lawrence Rogers, someone well known to our community, would often come by and visit to lift my husband’s spirits and it did. Then after my husband’s death he was there for our family in our time of grief.
Lawrence is the kind of person that wants to do anything he can to help his fellow man. I know there are hundreds of similar stories to mine where Lawrence has been there and I just wanted him to know how much he is appreciated, not only by my family and myself but I’m sure our entire community.
Thank you,
Dolores Dennis and family

It’s the bug-eyed Bolshevik brigade: San Fran Nan Pelosi, pencil neck geek Adam Schiff, Monstrous Maxine Waters. Notice all are obnoxious beyond belief. Petulant Pelosi always grandstands for the viewers.
We need to hear more from America’s top political expert Michael Moore so we will know which candidates and ideas to run away from.

A December 2019 poll showed Donald Trump beating all Democrats running against him. A few months earlier a phony poll showed all Democrats beating Trump, all 22 or so running at the time. No one mentions that one any more.

NFL DRAFT
By Russ Regan
I will be the first to admit that I am not a huge football guy; I am not even the biggest football fan in my household by far, but I do love the NFL draft. Like everything else right now, it was different but it had a little distraction because nothing else was able to take place. This one had a lot of story lines to say the least. When would “Trader Thomas” make a deal for the Falcons? How many bulldogs would join Andrew Thomas in the first round? How would Jake Fromm fare? Would his lack of arm strength overcome his brains? What about the kicker, Rodrigo Blankenship? Would the all American get picked or would he become an undrafted free agent? Let’s talk about it, so here we go.
As you know, Thomas Demetrioff is known to be a trader in the draft. Heck, he even got the name Trader Thomas because he has made at least one deal in 13 straight drafts. The word on the streets is that he was going to trade up for either C.J. Henderson from Florida, Derrick Brown from Auburn or even Isaiah Simmons from Clemson. As I said, I really wanted to see them trade down and get extra picks in this talented deep draft. As we know, three quarterbacks, as expected, came off the lead quick.
As I held my breath, Simmons, Brown and Anderson came off the boards, but the one thing that was wide receivers. Granted the Falcons didn’t really need one but it was perfect leverage for a trade down. Well, sure enough, Cal Doe Lamb, the greatly talented wide out, fell to number 16 where the Falcons were picking. The Eagles needed one and they were at number 21. So, I thought they were perfect for a deal. Then came the announcement of corner back A.J. Terell from Clemson. I know that the team needed one after releasing Desmond Trufant but this was a horrible pick. He was projected to be a late second round pick. Lamb would have been great with Jones and Ridley but at trade down! Sure enough Lamb went to Dallas and reports were the Eagles called Atlanta about Lamb but were turned down.
Rumors started to spread early Friday about a Falcon trade up. I have to question if Demitrioff had the power to make moves because once more nothing happened. I really did like the second and third round picks.
In round two, Marlon Davidson from Auburn will help the interior of the defensive line. Along with Grady Jarrett, they should do a good job. The team really needs a center in wanting Matt Hennessy from Temple should do a good job as he can learn a bunch from Alex Mack as I am guessing this is his last year as a Falcon. Friday’s picks gave the fan base some hope after screwing up so bad Thursday. Talent was still a plenty on Saturday to gobble up. They had two picks in the fourth round but it looks like they made a mess of it. Linebacker Mycale Walker and safety Jeylin Hawkins had seventh round or undrafted grades coming in. Granted those grades have been wrong beforehand. For the Falcons sake, I hope so. As Saturday rolled on, one thing was for sure; for the first time as general manager in 13 years there would be no Falcons trade. They had no fifth or sixth round picks, so off to round seven we go. They grabbed a punter, granted it looks like a good one, as Sterling Hofrichter from Syracuse is now a Falcon.
In summary, I liked battle picks on Friday a bunch but the rest are suspect at best. Terell was not the right pick in the first round at the time. Trading down was and should have been a given. The reports are that both fourth round picks were huge reaches. Sadly, the punter sounds like the third best round pick and that is really sad. I hope that I am wrong and yes I will admit if I am. The good news is at least he didn’t trade up to get them.
Ok, now for the local front sort of and let’s see how the bulldogs did in the draft. It was pretty much a given that left tackle Andre Thomas would be gone early and he was as the Giants grabbed him number four overall. One man that had moved up lately was right tackle Isaiah Wilson and sure enough Wilson wound up with Tennessee with the 29th pick. The question is would there be first round bulldogs?
Not quite, as Kansas City went a different direction at running back.
D’Andre Swift didn’t last long in the second round as he was gobbled up by Matthew Stafford and the Lions. He should do a good job there.
The next question for the night was about Jake Fromm. He did great on the Wonder lid test but would his lack of a strong throwing arm hurt him? Unfortunately, the lack of arm strength won out. His slide would take him all the way to the middle of the fifth round to the Bills. Barring expenses he will be a back up for Joseph Alley, who was a 2018 top pick. I do think Fromm’s knowledge will help out quite a bit. I really wished Fromm had stayed in Athens.
The Dogs would be SEC favorites and have a shot at a national title. The 2021 quarterback group isn’t nearly as deep.
The Dogs did have more players picked. Sued Soloman Kindley went in the fourth round to Miami. Tight end Charlie Woerner went to San Francisco in round six and linebacker Tae Crowder was the final pick of the draft. What about Blankenship you ask? I wasn’t stunned he wasn’t picked because kickers often aren’t, but several did this year and that surprised me. Rodrego was signed real quick after the draft by the Colts and I know he will do very well there.
The draft was still fun as always despite the Falcons probable mess-ups. I look forward to watching next year with my dad.

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
The whole world is shaking.
No matter where we look or start, the virus, violence, abortion, worldly problems, it has got the whole world shaking, all because people forget how to lean on the Lord. In God We Trust has become just another fad without true meaning. This nation forgets how to lean on the Lord. What good is past history if we don’t learn from it?
We must look to God for guidance and to history to prevent past mistakes. Christ has told us to love one another as he has loved us. As I look around, I have eyes and I can see, a mouth and I can talk, feet and I can walk, I just want to say Lord, I thank you.
There are those who have eyes and cannot see, ears and cannot hear, food with no appetite and appetite and no food. Lord, some of us have it all and I thank you. This is the time that this nation should stop and ask the question, “How much do I owe him?”
Must Jesus bare the cross alone while the entire world goes free? There is a cross for everyone and there is a cross for me. I remember the old hymn, A charge to keep I have a God to glorify me, may all my power engage to do my masters will. Jesus Christ died on the cross for you and I.
Time is not long as it has been for their will come a day when night will never come again. Christ has made it plain, when he returns whatever we are doing don’t stop. It will be a sad day. When Christ returns, America will be caught with her word undone.
It’s great that America gives honor to the American flag with pledge, but I wonder about the two greatest pledges of all, pledge to the Christian flag to Christ and his Kingdom and the pledge to the Holy Bible that we may not sin against God. If this nation is looking for something that is so delicious that they want it to last forever, just turn to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
IF we stop, look and listen, Jesus is talking and we can hear what he is saying. Our heavenly father, no matter what condition this nation finds itself in, you alone through your son; our Lord and Savior can bring order to the chaos that man creates. Look mercifully upon us as we go about our daily lives.
Teach us to apply your wisdom, guide us in our dealing with our fellow men and give us renewed strength when we seem to falter along the way. In Jesus precious name, Amen!
Johnny Blacke

Deleter of the free world
Hillary: Deleter of the free world. I wish I’d thought of it but it was the front page headline of the New York Post 10-21-16.
“Corrupt media aid corrupt Hillary by rigging questions.”
Lew Rockwell on LewRockwell.com 10-21-16
Whistleblower Christian Adams claimed in October 2016 that four million dead people were still on the voter rolls around the USA. Unscrupulous live people vote in their place, of course. Liberals always oppose voter identification laws.
Keep in mind how crooked these people are. The Demoleft Party had to replace their top three officers before the 2016 election after they rigged the primary against Bernie Sanders.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz was dumped but immediately became chairman of the Hillary campaign. Hillary always represented the Demo establishment. Both party establishments attacked Trump, of course. The Democrats rigged the primary against Bernie Sanders.
Donald Trump calling for repeal of Obamacare was always the biggest applause line of his 2016 campaign.
A good rule to keep in mind: “If you’re a Republican, if you care what the press says, you lose.”
Dennis Prager
I believe Donald Trump keeps this in mind every day. Hitting them back is the best strategy.
Those “experts” at the hideous Washington P- - - newsrag wrote on October 24, 2016, less than two weeks before the November election that “Donald Trump’s odds of winning (the election) are approaching zero.”
In 2016, 22 Congressional Medal of Honor winners and 200 retired Generals endorsed Trump. They didn’t buy the lies of the media left.
How to explain America’s myopia in electing Barack Obama, not once, but twice? Guilt inspired by left wing zealots!”
