Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
Just a month now into the Biden- administration, a report card can be issued based on what Biden has said and done during his first month.
Biden’s call for unity never got off the ground due in part to his deceitfulness and mendacities, the second impeachment trial as well as the first on President Trump, was orchestrated by him and his faithful traitor cohorts of the democrat party to distract Biden’s ineptitude, and controversial executive orders. Those two trials cost the tax payers ten of millions of dollars in squandered money that could have been spent on poverty, solving the dysfunctional coronavirus distribution, fighting the drug war and helping the 11,000 people building the Keystone pipeline that had the rug pulled out from under them w/o notice.
Although, empathy from me is a stretch, or, misnomer as these workers are 100% unionized. My experience in business, knows full well that unions support in money and votes invariably and always goes to the democrat party, so for you pipeline workers who are out of work, no crocodile tears from me, you voted for that two face lying socialist, now go to the “Piggly Wiggly” and sack some okra and sun tea for your rent money. There’s light at the end of the tunnel. VOTE TRUMP in 2024.
Now that Biden is the president, you will see thousands of illegal immigrants cross over southern borders, and will be welcomed by this very liberal president; they will get coronavirus shots before you the American citizen, they will take away jobs that our own citizens will lose, they will rape your wives, sisters, and daughters and cause wrecks from driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Every bit of this information is on file with the FBI statistics on crime.
Finally, our freedom of speech has, and is under attack from the popular “Cancel Culture” philosophy of both individual and group free speech, and of course, eradicating our southern heritage, and replace it with “Black Lives Matter” programs. The most disturbing part of that nonsense is, the sacred mantra of (BLM) is, execute police officers, even our own police knelt down with arms wrapped around these rioters in solidarity. Go-Figure.
This is your 21st Century America.
Will we make it to 2024 for the return of Trump? I don’t think so, hopefully, Christ will return and give this world a bath .

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
No matter what we say or do, God’s word will not fail; this is the day God made for each of us, we can use it as we please.
This nation cannot make the wrong choice and get the right result. Scripture says bless the nation whose God is Lord, they shall have no other God before me my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. This nation says we want a savior but will not be obedient to his holy word. Christ says, we must love one another as he has loved us.
How can you say you love me, who you have not seen and you hate man who you have seen, you are a liar. We inherit sin from Adam and Eve but our Lord and Saviour paid the price for our sins when he gave his life on the cross. The things that are happening to this nation are the result of the failure of our young generation.
First school, the home which is no longer an institution of morality. This nation keep crossing the border. As she turns away from God’s holy word, our founding fathers have said, of all the books in our schools, the Holy Bible should be number one.
Political right is not to be traded for the truth. God’s holy word is freedom of speech. We pledge allegiance to the American flag which is a reminder that we are blessed to live in the greatest nation, the two greatest pledges are overlooked or we don’t know them. The pledge to the Christian flag, which is giving glory to the heavenly father not a domination and the pledge to the holy bible that I might not sin against God.
The virus that this nation is faced with is not the first time she has been faced with a problem. Seventy five years ago America was faced with the problem of one man wanting to rule the world, but it was a time when this nation along with others knew sincere prayer.
It was President Roosevelt who prayed a sincere prayer when he prayed by saying God almighty and he paused for seven minutes. No matter what problem this nation may be faced with , Jesus Christ will always be the answer. Christ has blessed this nation for 245 years. Lord Bless.

That one really moved me
I read through a long list of Internet tributes from Rush Limbaugh fans but this one was my favorite – from Rush’s nephew: “I WILL MISS YOU UNCLE RUSH! Brad Limbaugh February 22, 2021 Stamford, TX., Family”
That one really moved me.
Not a nice thing to say about the Knights of Columbus: “An all-male extremist group” - Kamala Harris, running for the Democrat presidential nomination in 2020. It would be hard to find a better group of people and she trashes them. This tells you a lot about Ms. Harris. She and Joe Basement “the big guy” were both weak candidates and it took a lot of vote fraud to put them in the White House. Bernie Sanders was again robbed of the nomination and at least he would admit he was a socialist. Naturally Bernie wasn’t too disappointed – these losers voted as Bernie would have done.
Michelle Obama says she suffers from depression because of Donald Trump. He’s even responsible for depression in people now.
Listen to the Larry Elder radio show. He will lift your mood.
“Joe Biden stands for Joe Biden and it works.”
Dennis Prager 8-5-20
When “swing vote” Lewis Powell Jr. retired from the Supreme Court in 1987 Judge Robert Bork was nominated to replace him. Liberals pounced quickly. Sam Nunn voted against Judge Bork and there was no way I would ever vote for Nunn after that. Joe Biden and Ted Kennedy, swamp dwellers for life, lied horribly about Judge Bork, his beliefs and his record. The vilification of the judge was horrendous. Judge Bork said he was the lone conservative law professor at Yale Law School. Big media tried to get Judge Bork to withdraw his name but he forced a vote. Good for him.
“Trump has a plan to gut Social Security.”
lying Joe Biden 9-8-20
Remember Barry Goldwater pointing out that Social Security was actuarily unsound? Now most everyone admits it, even leftists. But every election they dust off the old scare tactic about Social Security being dumped by the Republicans. While in the Senate Barry voted to increase the monthly payment regularly – he knew people struggled. Barry was borked before Robert Bork became a big name.

SPORTS
BY RUSS RAGAN
Okay, here we go with another wild world of sports and yes some of it is wild! We have a sporting event for eight hours due to sun? This weekend was the opener for college football part two. In somewhat normal news, the Braves find potentially good bench help.
I haven’t paid much attention ever in my life and none since the Flames left Atlanta, but Saturday did get my attention. The National Hockey League usually plays a couple of outdoor games during the season. This year’s games were played at Lake Tahoe. Saturday’s game had a 2:00 p.m. local start. The game made it through one period before league officials suspended the game due to too much sun. Yes, the ice was melting! So the game was postponed until 9:00 p.m. local time. That is an all-time first for me.
Now it is time for some February football. Yes, college football part two started this weekend. The featured game you may ask? It’s Jackson State and Edwards Waters without question. Jackson State is now coached by the G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time) Deion Sanders. Yes, prime time is the head man and he lead his team to a 53-0 blowout win. It was obvious that the secondary was really good in the game. It looks like Deion is getting Jackson State ready to play in “Prime Time”.
The Braves bench was a known weakness coming into the season. Sunday things maybe went in the right direction. The team signed former Arizona Diamond Back third baseman Jake Lamb to a one year deal. He hit 30 homers in 2017 and he was an all-star. Injuries were a big problem in 2018 and 2019. He came off the bench for Oakland in 2020. He was pretty good in a limited role with three homes in 45 at bats. It would be great if he could be a strong left handed bat off the bench and play some third base.
He joins another former all-star in Jason Kipnis that hopefully will make the team. Kipnis played last year with the Cubs after spending nine years with Cleveland.
Don’t look now, but the first Spring training game is this Saturday. The regular season opener is April 1, no fooling!

The game made it through one period before league officials suspended the game due to too much sun. Yes, the ice was melting! So the game was postponed until 9:00 p.m. local time. That is an all-time first for me.
Now it is time for some February football. Yes, college football part two started this weekend. The featured game you may ask? It’s Jackson State and Edwards Waters without question. Jackson State is now coached by the G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time) Deion Sanders. Yes, prime time is the head man and he lead his team to a 53-0 blowout win. It was obvious that the secondary was really good in the game. It looks like Deion is getting Jackson State ready to play in “Prime Time”.
The Braves bench was a known weakness coming into the season. Sunday things maybe went in the right direction. The team signed former Arizona Diamond Back third baseman Jake Lamb to a one year deal. He hit 30 homers in 2017 and he was an all-star. Injuries were a big problem in 2018 and 2019. He came off the bench for Oakland in 2020. He was pretty good in a limited role with three homes in 45 at bats. It would be great if he could be a strong left handed bat off the bench and play some third base.
He joins another former all-star in Jason Kipnis that hopefully will make the team. Kipnis played last year with the Cubs after spending nine years with Cleveland.
Don’t look now, but the first Spring training game is this Saturday. The regular season opener is April 1, no fooling!

Rush Limbaugh, The Greatest
Rush Limbaugh. The Greatest. R.I.P.
Rush said he was fired eight times but stayed with it and landed on his feet big time. He changed an entire industry, was hated by liberals and everyone who knew him would tell you he was the nicest guy imaginable.
Dr. Ron Paul (R-Texas), now retired, has a great comment on the Trump impeachment hoax. All should hear it – it’s the best I’ve heard on the subject. Call his info line toll-free at 1-888-322-1414. He always kept us informed. I’m glad I voted for him for president in 1988, 2008 primary and 2012 primary. He draws zero Congressional retirement also, same for Howard Coble (R-N.C.), now deceased. Both said they would not take a government pension and kept their word. Both deserved their pensions too.
Gus Malzahn gets fired at Auburn, gets a $21.45 million buyout, takes head football coaching job at Central Florida, big bucks there also, a nice double dip. I quit going to college football games years back. Always get a generous buyout clause; Gus did. He will have a few extra coins in his pocket too, since Florida has no state income tax – better weather too. I’m thinking of heading there also. The Auburn job worked out well for Tommy Tuberville, now in the U.S. Senate.
“John Kerry as climate czar? Only Democrats could pick a guy with 6 houses, 12 cars, 2 yachts and a private jet to tell you that YOU should take the bus to stop pollution.”
Rico on TheoSpark.net
Nikitas3.com says “Adult white men are being called every name in the book and are being marginalized in the media. This is why the left hates President Trump – because he is a successful white man who is also a conservative.”
“GOP is Trump’s Party so get over it, RINOs.”
Nikitas3.com
Of course GOP could often stand for Generally Obtuse Party. Trump and some others are trying to save us from ourselves. I can’t think of a Democrat I’d vote for since Dr. Larry McDonald, a great American and obviously the best Democrat of modern times. He had zippo to do with the national Democrat party of course and was murdered by the Soviet Union in 1983. He had the most conservative voting record of any Congressman of either party at the time.

The big lie of January 6th is being used by the Democrats to get rid of a man they hate. He had nothing to do with the Capitol riots and encouraged peaceful protests from those who attended. We still do not have a believable explanation of Ashli babbitt’s murder. Can you guess what they are covering up? Don’t forget – many agitators infiltrated the mob, posing as Trump supporters.
I still think of the D.C. team as the Redskins. The Washington name is the offensive part that needed changing. Maybe it could now be called the District of Corruption Redskins.

Dodge County cheer team wins state championship
Congratulations to the Dodge Indians competition cheer team who brought home a state championship in the AA classification.
This is the first state championship title for the cheer team in Dodge County history. The team travelled to the Macon Centerplex on Monday, February 15, 2021 and put on their best performance of the year. The team looked confident and had nothing but smiles throughout the routine.
The team had struggled all season with COVID restrictions. Due to quarantines, the girls were having to constantly change positions in the routines. The difficulties they faced throughout the season made them that much better under pressure situations.
With the full team being on the floor, the team looked at ease. Senior Madison Durden had this to say about their victory, “this is the best way I could have ended my cheer career. It’s amazing.” “I am so proud of these girls and the way they persevered.
They had It tough this year but never gave up”, stated head coach Tammie Lewis. The team placed a full 2 points ahead of the state runner up and inter region rival Bleckley County.
Congratulations to both teams on their memorable seasons.
Team members include seniors Madison Durden, Amy Elizade, Caroline Scarborough and juniors Morgan Parker, Ashlee Knowles and Kaylee Knowles . Under classmen include sophomores Amelia Godfrey, Ashlyn Grauberger, Kate Jones, Gracie Mann, Shelly Rogers and Camryn Vaughn.
Freshmen are Sara Beth Cadwell, Janay Davis, Georgia Hardy, Cali Martin, Taylor Rogers, Harmony Smith and Dezzi Thomas. The girls are coached by Tammie Lewis, Sheena Orange and Penny Thomas.
