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.”

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.

One winner was dumped: Bring back Trish Regan. What did she do wrong?

Democrats a few years back claimed we needed a border wall. Now they want open borders. Border invaders are pre-Democrats. Democrats can’t attract enough white voters these days and need replacements.
George Will, former “Republican” calls Donald Trump a “sad, embarrassing wreck of a man.” Overrated George has spoken ! George claimed in 1974 that Ronald Reagan could not win, too old, said George. Ronnie was only 63 at the time and did heavy physical work, building fences, etc. to stay in shape. Will naturally gave Donald Trump a zero chance of winning the presidency in 2016.

Oliver North should be in the U.S. Senate today. He was stabbed in the back by the Republican establishment, which did the work of the media left. Ollie was leading until the third candidate (liberal Republican) entered the race split the Republican vote – purposely by “centrist Republicans,” allowing Democrats to keep the seat.
Then the party sends out letters and e-mails desperate for money to win and maintain control of the Congress, after the party insiders threw it away.

George Will, former “Republican” calls Donald Trump a “sad, embarrassing wreck of a man.” Overrated George has spoken ! George claimed in 1974 that Ronald Reagan could not win, too old, said George. Ronnie was only 63 at the time and did heavy physical work, building fences, etc. to stay in shape. Will naturally gave Donald Trump a zero chance of winning the presidency in 2016.
“The Amnesty/Immigration Surge Bill is designed literally to crowd out the historic American nation.”

Oliver North should be in the U.S. Senate today. He was stabbed in the back by the Republican establishment, which did the work of the media left. Ollie was leading until the third candidate (liberal Republican) entered the race split the Republican vote – purposely by “centrist Republicans,” allowing Democrats to keep the seat.
Then the party sends out letters and e-mails desperate for money to win and maintain control of the Congress, after the party insiders threw it away.

SPORTS
BY RUSS REGAN
It was a wild first week for Major League Baseball. Several more games have been postponed due to the virus. The Marlins and the Phillies have only played three games and none in more than a week. The Braves’ bats have been really good early but will the back end of the rotation give them a chance? We now have seven inning double headers, and it makes sense. We have our answers from college football and it included some big surprises.
Let’s start off with the Braves. It was a good week as they went 5-2, but can they hit enough to overcome the back end of the rotation? A combination of Wright, Toussant, Foltynewicz and Newcomb wasn’t very good to say the least. The foursome went just 23 innings and allowed 24 earned runs. They also walked 18, yet somehow the team is winning. Toussant wasn’t as bad the second time but pitch count got him out of the game after four innings. The week was bizarre for Felty, he was horrible on Monday, a week ago, against Tampa Bay and he was immediately designated for assignment. That means that the team had enough games to trade him or put him on Warriors. They couldn’t deal him so they put him out and every team declined him and the Braves sent him to the alternate camp. That is a shocker for the 2018 all-star. I hope we see top pitching prospect Ian Anderson.
So how are the Braves winning? First of all, the bullpen has been real good. A.J. Minter and Tyler Matzek have been great. In just ten innings they have walked just one and struck out 17. Fred and Soroka have been real good and let’s hope it continues.
The offense has been good but not the “usual suspects”. The top of the order is Acuna, Abbies and Freeman and they have struggled. They’ve had 37 strikeouts in the first ten games. It did look like Acuna was snapping out of it as he had a homer on Saturday and a pair of hits on Sunday.
Where is the offense coming from you ask? Shortstop Dansly Swanson has a pair of homers and 11 RBIs with a .368 average. New outfielder, Marcell Pzuna has three homers and new catcher Travis D’Armond made a huge impact. He had five RBIs on Friday, including a bases loaded double that was the game changer on Friday night.
We have another big rule change, for the year anyway. All double headers are now seven inning games. It looks like there will be a bunch of mess. All minor league double headers are seven inning ones. That’s another rule, along with these rules, that will probably go away after this year. I do like the extra inning rule and I guess it will have a chance to stick around, but I really don’t think so.
The Big 5 College Conferences have made their decisions and I am very surprised. The SEC announced that it will do a ten game conference only schedule with no plus one. That means for the first time since 1924 there will be no Georgia-Georgia Tech game. I really thought you would see a conference plus one schedule especially after the ACC approved the plus one. The season will open September 26 against someone to be determined. On Sunday night, former Bulldog Matt Stafford of the Lions went on the Covid list. This means he has it or has been in contact with someone who’s tested positive. That is different than opting out. He can come back off the Covid list, but once they opt out, their season is over.
More pro football to wrap up and it’s out of the Falcons camp. They signed free agent corner back Darqueze Dennard. He is a former number one draft pick and he played high school ball at Twiggs County. Ironically, he signed with Atlanta the same day Twiggs elected to not play this season due to the virus. The 28 year old will certainly help a very young secondary.

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
At the edges of north Dodge County, and Bleckley County, sits the rural community of Empire. Once an incorporated township, or city, Empire is, and has been the conduit for travels heading north, south and east for as long as it has been in existence.
To look at Empire as you pass through, you would think it was just another rural community with abandoned buildings, overgrown vegetation and ‘country folks.’ But to those of who live in the community, who were born in the community, who have family from the community, they know Empire is much more than that.
Empire is full of history and tradition. One of the largest lumber mills in the southeast, and the biggest in the state of Georgia was located here. There was a turpentine plant, a bank, a hotel of sorts, several stores, a post office and a train depot right in Empire. The Old Eastman Highway – called by many names through the years – was once the only way to get to and from Dodge County.
There is an old saying ‘if the walls could talk’ or something like that. Well, if that roadway could talk, well, there would be a lot of interesting stories it could tell. Two sections of the roadway are paved, another has gravel, and then the main section that ran through the ‘center’ of Empire, is still dirt.
The old Empire Road, as it is called is home to approximately six residences and one commercial property, and most people use it as a shortcut or a place to ride their off road vehicles. It is the stretch between West Chicken Road and Hwy. 257 by the railroad crossing. You can’t see the trains anymore as they pass by – something that residents have enjoyed for generations. Who doesn’t remember waving at the engineer or laughing at the caboose? There used to be blackberries ripe for the picking along the roadway, but not, due to years of lack of maintenance or upkeep – the vegetation has taken it all over.
The overgrowth has become unsightly, and is slowly taking over the roadway. Also, people have started to dump bags of household garbage, general litter and dead animals along the way. With the highway work being down on the Golden Isles Highway out front, the old highway is sure to be used more. So there is a need for clean-up not only for safety reasons, but also beautification and potential economic growth. Think about it, potential residents or business owners passing through, checking out the areas, and then they see that – do you think they would want to settle here?
Emails have been sent to various agencies in both counties, on the state level and to the railroad company to see who might take accountability and help get this done. No responses yet, and no finger-pointing or fussing, they all have a lot on their plates.
So, why this letter? The old Empire Road – which is 90 percent in Dodge County, and maybe 10 to 15 percent in Bleckley County- could use clean up. Until that happens, maybe it is up to us, the people, to do our parts, and not add to the issue by throwing trash and whatever else out? Either way, it may look like a forgotten dirt road to you, but to those in the community of Empire, it is a part of our history and family life. #EmpireProud.

At the edges of north Dodge County, and Bleckley County, sits the rural community of Empire. Once an incorporated township, or city, Empire is, and has been the conduit for travels heading north, south and east for as long as it has been in existence.
To look at Empire as you pass through, you would think it was just another rural community with abandoned buildings, overgrown vegetation and ‘country folks.’ But to those of who live in the community, who were born in the community, who have family from the community, they know Empire is much more than that.
Empire is full of history and tradition. One of the largest lumber mills in the southeast, and the biggest in the state of Georgia was located here. There was a turpentine plant, a bank, a hotel of sorts, several stores, a post office and a train depot right in Empire. The Old Eastman Highway – called by many names through the years – was once the only way to get to and from Dodge County.
There is an old saying ‘if the walls could talk’ or something like that. Well, if that roadway could talk, well, there would be a lot of interesting stories it could tell. Two sections of the roadway are paved, another has gravel, and then the main section that ran through the ‘center’ of Empire, is still dirt.
The old Empire Road, as it is called is home to approximately six residences and one commercial property, and most people use it as a shortcut or a place to ride their off road vehicles. It is the stretch between West Chicken Road and Hwy. 257 by the railroad crossing. You can’t see the trains anymore as they pass by – something that residents have enjoyed for generations. Who doesn’t remember waving at the engineer or laughing at the caboose? There used to be blackberries ripe for the picking along the roadway, but not, due to years of lack of maintenance or upkeep – the vegetation has taken it all over.
The overgrowth has become unsightly, and is slowly taking over the roadway. Also, people have started to dump bags of household garbage, general litter and dead animals along the way. With the highway work being down on the Golden Isles Highway out front, the old highway is sure to be used more. So there is a need for clean-up not only for safety reasons, but also beautification and potential economic growth. Think about it, potential residents or business owners passing through, checking out the areas, and then they see that – do you think they would want to settle here?
