Random thoughts
Fox Network should hire savvy commentator John Lillpop (VoiceofLillpop.blogspot.com). I doubt Fox knows who he is. Judi at Canada Free Press knows. That’s where I found him. CanadaFreePress.com is also a fine read. John recommended Charles Krauthammer for House Speaker. He knows a person does not have to be a House member to be elected Speaker. Of course, John Lillpop wrote it on January 2nd and we saw what happened on 1-7-15. Most Republicans wimped out and reelected John Boehner Speaker.
“Best of all, Charles Krauthammer is a trained and licensed psychiatrist. Imagine a skilled psychiatrist going head-to-head with our dysfunctional Marxist community organizer!”

“Where were all these Western leaders BEFORE the latest terrorist hit? They were making it easier for the terrorists to gain access to the very countries they intend to strike.”

Twenty percent of U.S. residents do not speak English at home, or 62 million persons. The U.S. is now the fifth largest Spanish-speaking country. Check out the full story at LimitsToGrowth.org.
Don’t worry – gun control will solve the crime problem. France has tight gun control, yet the terrorists there had automatic weapons. Their law abiding victims were left defenseless.

“People who create things nowadays can expect to be prosecuted by highly moralistic people who are incapable of creating anything. There is no way to measure the chilling effect on innovation that results from the threats of taxation, regulation and prosecution against anything that succeeds. We’ll never know how many ideas our government has aborted in the name of protecting us.”

Letter to the Editor
Dear editor,
My name is Tamara Bennett. I moved to Eastman to be around extended maternal family. Family is precious and sacred.
Then the nightmare began. My beautiful child became the victim of a disastrous nightmare called “drugs.” Then came the enabling... doing things that, in my mind, were helping her only to find out this nightmare was just beginning. I was completely blindsided... so blinded by love of my child. I became isolated thinking everyone was against me, wondering where I went wrong spiraling into a deep dark depression.
In small towns, law enforcement have very limited resources available, staying tied up responding to frantic calls from families expecting them to handle these situations. In reality, there is nothing they can do. They know first-hand these families are in denial.
Only after suffering pure hell do families actually accept what they are dealing with. I will never give up on my child.... I am finally learning to deal with my own emotions. Only then can I be rational and helpful to my precious child.
My daughter is lost in the dark but I know that God is watching her and waiting for the right time to intervene in her life. I am here for any family who wants my love and support.

STAR student, teacher chosen at high school
By Charlie Johnson
For her exemplary performance on the SAT, Tyndal Mitchell has been named the Dodge County High School (DCHS) STAR Student. The Student Teacher Achievement Recognition (STAR) program is cosponsored by the Professional Association of Georgia Educators (PAGE) and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce and locally sponsored by the Eastman-Dodge County Chamber of Commerce. To be recognized as a STAR student, high school seniors must obtain the highest score on a single test date on the three-part SAT in their senior class and be in the top ten percent of their respective class based on grade point average. With a score of 1980, Mitchell has distinguished herself as the STAR student for the DCHS Class of 2015.“When I was told I received STAR Student, I was extremely overwhelmed,” said Mitchell. “I was excited because it was validation that all my hard work finally paid off.”The STAR Student selects one teacher who has had the greatest influence on the student and Mitchell has named Jennifer McDaniel as her STAR Teacher. McDaniel is a former teacher from DCHS who taught Mitchell AP World History during Mitchell’s tenth grade year.“I moved to DCHS when I was in the tenth grade and when I was new, Mrs. McDaniel made me feel like I belonged,” said Mitchell. “Even in the eleventh grade, she helped me when I needed her, so I gave her the recognition that she so honestly deserved.”“I’m very excited for Tyndal,” said McDaniel, who currently teaches history at Houston County High School. “I know that she works hard for everything she does and is very deserving. I was completely surprised and touched that she chose me to be her STAR Teacher and thought of me as someone who could inspire her.” [Full Story »]
