Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all – I hope I timed it right (this is December 12 as I type it).
We recently went to see the Gibson Brothers bluegrass band in Duluth, Georgia and saw a great show. If you ever get a chance to see them, be sure to go. I hear them frequently on Sirius Radio in my car and look forward to hearing them again in person. I first heard them at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur, Georgia about a year ago. Neither place was full and I wonder why such a great group doesn’t fill it up at every performance (GibsonBrothers.com). Turn on your speakers and listen for yourself – a fine site, very smooth sound. They are an underappreciated talent, as is bluegrass music generally.
Another good music site on the Internet is FightMusic.com, featuring college band music. You will hear many familiar tunes on that site. The Ole Miss band still has Dixie (still legal to play it?) – with several versions of the song. They are now prohibited from playing the song on campus. Check out your favorite school. All SEC and ACC bands are on there.
“Up until 2008, American voters sent presidents to the White House. Some presidents were better than others, but at least they arrived as presidents. In 2008, American voters elected a community organizer as president, kicking off a new era in which activists would continue to be elected as presidents.”

Liberals are very upset at Donald Trump’s cabinet picks. Obviously he is doing a fine job. Pearl Harbor Day December 7th at 75 years old is also the 60th birthday of basketball great Larry Bird, born 12-7-1956. Time zips by.
We’re stuck with a lot of “citizen” lawbreakers  while we continue to allow illegals (pre-Democrats) to enter unabated. Why import more of the world’s problem people with an open borders policy? As D.J.Trump says, “They aren’t sending their best.”

Dear editor,
Must say the millennial democrat voter and even older ones too, show just how stupid they really are in news reports and letters to the newspapers supporting election of the president by popular vote versus the electoral college. Your lack of understanding of the constitutional underpinnings reflects volumes of your voting demographics in paying attention in school. Democrat voters, please put down your weed pipe, take your perverted minds off the free peep show in the women’s dressing rooms/bathrooms for just a moment so this republican voter can school you!
As a 70-year-old former Dodge County High School student, class of 1965, I’m still well versed in simple high school civics.
Our founders wanted to preserve states’ authority and therefore created a constitutional republic, not a pure democracy. To limit federal power, the 10th amendment was added.
In addition, each state has two senators regardless of population. Now some states have two senators and one member of the House. To ensure large population states did not control elections, the Electoral College was created. Without the Electoral College small, thinly populated states would be left out. We are a large and mobile nation. Populations shift for economics, climate or social reasons. Our system provides representation regardless of population shifts. We are best served when the concept is understood and NOT altered for current political purpose.
What’s the bottom line of this opinion letter? Hey cry baby you lost, now get over it. The Donald is your man, and there is no more FREE stuff either. Get a JOB!!

Exit polls on Election Day showed high school educated white men voted Trump over Clinton by 67-20 percent and white women with the same background also went for Trump in smaller margins. This is a huge voting bloc, seldom discussed by big media. These voters are also far more intelligent than the media portrayal. VDARE.com and other savvy sites have been pointing this out for years. Maybe listening to the media left’s “friendly “ advice to cater to Democrat constituencies is a mistake. Their overrated “gender gap” predictions did not materialize this year. Maybe the Dangerfield vote showed up on November 8th.

New York magazine’s whiney writer David Remnick called Donald Trump’s election “a sickening event, a tragedy for the American republic,” a victory for “authoritarianism” at home and abroad. In other words, liberals lost. At least he knows we are a republic, not a democracy.
“People on the right think that most people on the left are wrong; people on the left think that most people on the right are evil.”

Bumper sticker of the day: Just Visiting This Planet.
Lawmakers in California won’t require National Guardsmen to repay enlistment bonuses issued a decade ago after they signed up for a tour in Afghanistan and Iraq. There always seems to be plenty of money for foreign aid but not enough for active military and veterans.
