Dear editor: 
Just pick up a newspaper, magazine or listen to the lame stream socialist indoctrination news media, and see the pure vile hatred of left wing propaganda reporting on President Trump, this is evident when they say everything negative about him, even when it’s NOT true, and they don’t give him credit for his accomplishments. President Trump went to Saudi Arabia recently, where he saw the signing of $110 billion in immediate American arms sales (largest ever!) and $350 billion in other sales over the next ten years; he’s creating JOBS! 
The king of Saudi Arabia met President Trump at the airport when he landed, that was something that the king never did for that embarrassment we had for a president, Hussein Obama. President Trump is mending fences with an important Muslim leader who will help fight our sworn enemy, ISIS. A relationship that was broken by that “Manchurian Candidate” cretin Obama, as he cozied up to Iran, another sworn enemy to the United States of America.
And President Trump is creating hundreds of thousands of jobs in the process. The democrats think as before, we conservatives are going to lay down and roll over like a “New Orleans Bourbon Street Hooker,” and not fight back as republicans have always done, elect “RINOS” (Republican in name only). Not so! We’re going to write our newspapers on all the cheating, lying, thieving, immoral turpitude and anything else that gets our dandruff up. But most of all, VOTE!! We’ll leave the laziness in not voting on the democrats and let them do what they do best. Sit on their no account butts and collect welfare, and any other government handout. Now how about that special Georgia election on another republican win, democrats?

Dear editor,
Summer road trip season is here and AAA expects to receive calls from over seven million stranded motorists experiencing car trouble this summer. The majority of issues the travel group anticipates will cause car problems, such as dead batteries and flat tires, can be prevented with a pre-trip vehicle inspection.
Whether you do it yourself or visit a trusted professional technician, a pre-trip vehicle check will give you peace of mind and provide the opportunity to make any necessary repairs before you hit the road.
Before leaving home, check the battery, tires, wipers and lighting, HVAC system and fluids including engine oil, power steering, brake and transmission fluids as well as washer solvent and coolant. The Car Care Council also recommends inspecting the brake system and performing a tune-up to help the engine deliver the best balance of power and fuel economy.
To be prepared for an unplanned roadside emergency, remember to fully charge cell phones before you go and bring along a vehicle emergency kit, including jumper cables, emergency flairs, first-aid kit, flashlight with extra batteries, bottled water, non-perishable food items and blankets. Keep a copy of the Car Care Council’s Car Care Guide in your glove box. Order a free copy online at www.carcare.org/car-care-guide.  
Sincerely,
Rich White
Executive Director

Mrs. Cherry loved music and played the organ for Eastside Baptist Church in Marietta, Acworth Presbyterian Church and Mars Hill Presbyterian Church in Acworth.
Survivors include her husband, R. Walter Cherry of Acworth; one daughter, Diane H. Smith of Ball Ground; two sons, Steve M. Harrison of Eastman and Mark C. Harrison of Waleska; five grandchildren, Shannon Smith, Keesha Asher, Kelly Smith, Adele Harrison and Joachim Harrison, and five great-grandchildren, Reagan Asher, Peyton Asher, Carson Asher, Weston Smith and Addison Smith.
Winkenhofer Pine Ridge Funeral Home of Kennesaw was in charge of the arrange- ments.

Dear editor:
There is no doubt in this American’s mind that our country is in turmoil. Republican and Democratic parties have violently different views about the way our country should be managed. Under the Obama administration, our national debt increased astronomically. Although the unemployment rate decreased, the number of those living below the poverty level and receiving government subsidies climbed to staggering heights. The former administration’s policy of “looking the other way” regarding the influx of illegal aliens has failed, and violence, crime and illegal drug rates have increased dramatically over the last eight years. The fatality rate of our law enforcement officials has also risen exponentially. Fear has gripped our nation.
The Healthcare Reform Act, (Obamacare), has turned into the one of the most structurally unsound failures on our American economy, with high deductibles, high premiums and poor healthcare services. The silent majority that did not agree with Obama’s policies did not riot, commit crimes against our government or commit acts of terror in protest. We democratically elected Republican majority leadership in both houses of Congress, and elected ourselves a radically different executive to lead us. People wanted change. They wanted smart leadership.
Since his election, President Trump has been the center of liberal media ridicule and mutilation of character. He is our president, people! He is protecting America, its interests and livelihood as he would his own businesses. Trump’s goals are simple ones; smaller federal government allowing states to govern themselves, building a stronger military to protect our country and its allies from ever increasing threats of violence at home and abroad and bringing American companies back to America, thus creating more American jobs, and lessening the need for government subsidies. He understands the strain that illegal aliens put on our economy, and, he is working diligently to rectify the threats they impose on America.
The constant bickering across the aisle in D.C. and the constant vilification of our president by mainstream media is nothing more than a smokescreen, however, to keep Americans blind about the real issues that threaten our country.
The Congressional shooting that took place in Virginia this week has brought to light an unfavorable truth about America. The Virginia shooter, in his own words, wanted to “terminate the Republican party.” Was he just a crazy left-wing radical, or a man desensitized by the predominantly liberal media, blaming a particular party for his state of being? Did his hatred stem from his own beliefs or the propaganda presented to us each day by our own media? Who should be held accountable for the current, tremendous divide of our own people?
