Was he ever one?
George Will, famous for his wrong predictions, now claims he’s an independent, no longer a Republican (was he ever one?). Will claims on 6-3-20 in an MSNBC appearance that Donald Trump will lose in November 2020 and that voters will forget him “fairly fast.” This will be another faulty call by Will, who has been hanging around the polluted air of D.C. and the Washington P- - - too long. George Will and the P- - - deserve each other. Why does he bother with MSNBC – maybe he will go to work there.
Don’t forget – H. Clinton had a 93 percent chance to win the White House in 1996, the “experts” said.
Retired Marine “Mad Dog” Mattis is attacking his former boss President Trump as a “divider of people.” Maybe Mattis is auditioning for a job at MSNBC. Mattis likes perpetual foreign adventurism and Trump doesn’t. Neither do many of us.
Bumper sticker of the day: Make Theology Great Again.
Why aren’t media folks and other citizens all outraged at attacks on police officers, also violence generally and looting of stores. Ignoring the problem will not make it go away.
In less than two years universities, businesses and trade groups paid almost $22 million to Hillary Clinton in speaking fees, says the site Investors.com on 4-18-16. What did they expect in return for their generous financial support? They were sure Ms. Clinton would win the presidency and wanted to be on her list of favorites, of course.
Illegal immigrants still overflow U.S. hospital emergency rooms. Just being here is a crime for illegal invaders, who are treated as pre-Democrat royalty by Sleepy Joe’s party. No Democrat favors border control. No borders, no USA.
A perpetual grievance culture exists on college campuses.
Remember Obama saying he’s visited 57 states with one to go? What if Dan Quayle or any Republican had said that? You’d never hear the end of it. Obama always got a pass from his media pals.
Why are so many rich people liberals? Nikitas3.com explains in a column still good today, written on January 7, 2012. Nikitas3.com is a no-frills website with good commentary. It’s still there on his site. Most of his writings never go out of date. [Full Story »]

Dodge students names go to space
By Amy Mullis
On Saturday, May 30, 2020, when the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, NASA astronauts and Crew Dragon members Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley took the signatures of five Dodge County High School (DCHS) alumnae along for the flight.
During the 2017-2018 school year, students in Ashley Jones Food Science class, as a part of the school’s NASA HUNCH program, competed in several rounds of culinary competition in their classes before a final team earned the honor of competing at the regional contest in Alabama and then advanced to the national competition at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
In Houston, the team, including Mary Hess, Marissa Hullender, Sarah Lee, Faith McDade and Michaela Mullis, prepared and served their space-ready breakfast meal for a live panel of judges and placed in the Top Ten against teams from all across the nation.
DCHS Principal Pam Melvin, who was assistant principal and CTAE director at the time, says it was an incredible experience.
“It was a sight to see all of the students working together so that they could play a part in feeding our astronauts on a space station,” she said. “You can’t understand the magnitude of it without being there to see it. Our small town was represented well with Mrs. Jones and her students.”
It was during their time in Houston that the girls and their chaperones, Jones, Melvin, then DCHS Principal Dr. Susan Long, CTAE instructor Kathy Lewis and Charles Williams, toured the Space Center and signed flight-ready stowage lockers (SSLs) made by NASA HUNCH students from around the United States.
It was on those transport boxes that the Dodge County team’s names made it into space.
“The most recent SpaceX astronauts were sitting on these very boxes as they made their way to and returned from the International Space Station (ISS),” said Williams, executive director of the Dodge County-Eastman Development Authority.
Hess, who was a senior the year the team went to Houston, reflected fondly on her experience with the HUNCH program and was excited to hear the news of the teams’ signatures taking flight.

During the 2017-2018 school year, students in Ashley Jones Food Science class, as a part of the school’s NASA HUNCH program, competed in several rounds of culinary competition in their classes before a final team earned the honor of competing at the regional contest in Alabama and then advanced to the national competition at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
In Houston, the team, including Mary Hess, Marissa Hullender, Sarah Lee, Faith McDade and Michaela Mullis, prepared and served their space-ready breakfast meal for a live panel of judges and placed in the Top Ten against teams from all across the nation.
DCHS Principal Pam Melvin, who was assistant principal and CTAE director at the time, says it was an incredible experience.
“It was a sight to see all of the students working together so that they could play a part in feeding our astronauts on a space station,” she said. “You can’t understand the magnitude of it without being there to see it. Our small town was represented well with Mrs. Jones and her students.”
It was during their time in Houston that the girls and their chaperones, Jones, Melvin, then DCHS Principal Dr. Susan Long, CTAE instructor Kathy Lewis and Charles Williams, toured the Space Center and signed flight-ready stowage lockers (SSLs) made by NASA HUNCH students from around the United States.
It was on those transport boxes that the Dodge County team’s names made it into space.
“The most recent SpaceX astronauts were sitting on these very boxes as they made their way to and returned from the International Space Station (ISS),” said Williams, executive director of the Dodge County-Eastman Development Authority.
Hess, who was a senior the year the team went to Houston, reflected fondly on her experience with the HUNCH program and was excited to hear the news of the teams’ signatures taking flight.

Last week I left out a long homer by Bailey Harvey in Dodges 8-0 win over Lincoln County. I am very sorry for the mistake.

Slow Joe is damaged goods
Kamala Harris was the most pro-abortion Democrat running for president and got about 2% of the vote before dropping out last year. Now she’s back, trying to become a heartbeat away from the presidency. All Democrats running for the nomination were enthusiastic abortion supporters, of course. Remember when 21 or 22 Democrats were running? There is nothing mainstream in any of these losers. Slow Joe is damaged goods and everyone knows it, maybe even Joe.
Conservative Trump supporter Stephen Baldwin succinctly sums up the Trump appeal to voters: “Trump doesn’t care what anybody says,” also “Trump is not a politician.”
Democrats will not say anything negative about Antifa.
The Communist Party USA endorsed Joe Biden on 8-3-20. That’s how liberal Sleepy Joe is. CPUSA also endorsed Barack Obama twice and Hillary Clinton in 2016. They like what they see in Democrats and quit running a candidate several elections back. Remember Gus Hall, perennial presidential candidate on the Communist Party ticket?
Name of the week: Demitri Kalogeropoulos, writer for The Motley Fool, Fool.com.
Bumper sticker of the day: MLB loves BLM.
I might add, so do NFL and NBA, also NCAA. Does NCAA stand for National Coddled Athlete Association? Remember when “student athletes” were known as ballplayers?
Crooked Hillary has spoken. She accuses Republicans of “slowing mail delivery” to “sabotage” mail-in voting.
BLM: Being Liberal Matters.
“People who buy guns don’t vote for Democrats.”
Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick
Republicans are stupid to participate in debates moderated by liberal Democrats, and they continue to do so.

Dodge man arrested for arson
On August 10, Laurens County Fire Department investigators charged Andrew Thomas Whittle, age 36, of Dodge County, with arson in the 1st degree, burglary, and terrorist threats. The charges stem from Whittle’s role in a July 23 structure fire at 209 Barrs Road near Dexter in rural Laurens County near the Dodge County border.
The Laurens County Fire Department responded to the fire in question just after 4:30 p.m. on the afternoon of July 23. Earlier that afternoon, Whittle had been involved in a domestic dispute, damaging the inside of a residence approximately one mile down the road in Dodge County. He was later detained by the Laurens County Sheriff’s Office near the scene of the fire for acting erratic and making threatening statements to several individuals and turned over to the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office for their pending charges from the earlier incident. During the course of the arrest, Whittle became violent and damaged two Dodge County Sheriff’s Office vehicles.
“Our investigators worked closely with the Laurens County Fire Department on this investigation,” said Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner John F. King. “After a number of interviews, written statements and other evidence, fire investigators were able to bring these charges forward to ensure that this dangerous individual is held accountable for his actions.”
Mr. Whittle is currently being held at the Dodge County jail without bond for additional charges, including terrorist threats, criminal trespass, two counts of obstruction of law enforcement, two counts of simple battery against law enforcement and two counts of criminal interference with government property.
Commissioner King’s fire investigations unit assisted the Laurens County Fire Department, Laurens County Sheriff’s Office and Dodge County Sheriff’s Office with this investigation.

The Dodge County High School Lady Indians opened their 2020 season with three road games. Dodge opened things up on a strong note last Thursday as they took a 10-1 decision over Telfair County.
On Saturday, Dodge traveled to Harlem to play a pair of games in the Harlem Classic. In their first game, Dodge beat Leneola County 8-0. Dodge dropped an 11-5 decision to Jefferson County.
They will host Harlem this Saturday at 11:00 a.m. The Lady Indians will host Northside Warner Robins on Monday at 4:00 p.m. for the junior varsity game and 5:30 for the varsity game.
Dodge County wasted no time getting on the board in the first at Telfair. Area Maxwell walked to lead things off after an eight pitch at bat. One out later, senior third baseman, Logan White hit a deep drive well over the left center field fence for a 2-0 Dodge lead.
