The Glynn County Police Department submitted several packages labeled “Crazy Clown”’, marketed as an herbal incense product, to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) Crime Lab in Savannah. The laboratory analyzed the material in these packages to determine if a controlled substance was present. The analysis confirmed the presence of a new synthetic cannabinoid, ADB-PINACA. Confirmation of this new compound by the GBI Crime Lab is the first known instance of this particular synthetic cannabinoid in the U.S. The ADB-PINACA compound is categorized as a Schedule I substance by O.C.G.A 16-30-31 as part of Chase’s Law, which was passed by the Georgia General Assembly in the 2012 session.

This week I said goodbye to an old friend and our parting was bittersweet. We’d spent nearly every day together for more than seven years. Lately, however, he just hadn’t been reliable. It was getting so I couldn’t count on him to be there when I needed him the most. In my heart, I knew I should move on, but for the last few months I’d been putting off the inevitable. Change can be difficult especially when there’s so much history involved. Seven years is a long time – for sure more than six. [Full Story »]

Dear editor,
How long are we going to allow our president and his democratic party lie to us?

Everyone is scared to death to call the president a liar, even the media is scared to fact check him for fear they will be labeled as a racist, so we allow obama to continually lie to us, finally someone had the guts to call him a jackass. No it was no one in the USA for they are too scared, it happen to be Putin, the Russian President, had the nerve to call him a jackass, and obama walked out. [Full Story »]

Dear editor,

“Faith without works” James 2:14-26

It is written that faith alone will not provide the things you covet. You must strive with faith in your heart to achieve these goals. After spending a meaningless five minutes before the Board of Education (BOE), it was confirmed that their self declared goal is “to give our children the best education they can give them.” Their behavior however, declares something else. Their behavior appears to be more in the form of faith unaccompanied by works. [Full Story »]
