Karl Rove “Republican strategist” had $400 million to spend on campaigns in 2012, “but he elected only 9 of the 31 candidates for whom he aired TV ads,” said savvy veteran conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly on EagleForum.org. Sadly for American patriots, Phyllis died in 2016 at age 92. Remember too – Rove forfeited Senate races in Missouri and Indiana, both winnable, because he did not like the Republican nominees. Democrats went on to win both seats (six year terms, of course). Republicans won the seats in the next election but there is no excuse for what the stupid Republican in-crowd did that year. Rove is still there. Amazing, isn’t it?

I’m enjoying President Trump’s kinder, gentler style of governing. Remember George Bush I calling for a kinder, gentler America? Nice guy but clueless George self-destructed and made himself a one-termer with a big assist from Ross Perot.

Twelve out of town teams invaded Eastman for the Georgia Recreation and Park Association (GRPA) district one class “C” boys 12 and under tournament. It was a great week as the department was in great shape as Kyle Shipman and Shane Dunlap had the fields looking great.
The department battled extreme heat and dry conditions until rain moved in prior to the tournament. As said Director Travis Niblett on the fields “the weather was something we couldn’t control. It went from hot and dry to wet with no in between. I thought our fields played great. Our guys did a great job getting the fields ready to go”.
Live pitch baseball also presents its own set of challenges. A GRPA mandated pitch count is in effect for the amount of pitches a pitcher can throw in a game and in the tournament. There also has to be rest in between a certain amount of pitches. Travis Niblett had high praise for the staff “DCRD’s staff put on a clinic in this tournament. Many thanks to Hailey Hickman, Jenna Hickman, Caitlyn Gooch and Margaret Simmons who kept the books and the extreme challenge of keeping pitch count logs for 24 games. Things went without a glitch,” said Niblett.
As for the tournament itself, things started out on Monday. There were five games on the agenda. The weather did allow all five games to be played. The featured game was Reidsville playing Screven County. Reidsville had a strong team and won 5-0.
Tuesday was supposed to be a huge day with nine games on the schedule. The day featured perhaps the best-played game of that tournament as Reidsville played Glenville. Reidsville eventually won an extremely well played game, ending 5-4 in extra innings. The host team Dodge got underway in a 4:00 p.m. start. Dodge took an early 2-0 lead but the weather turned around 4:30 p.m. and the game was called for the day around 5:00 p.m.
On Wednesday, play got underway at 12:00 p.m. Unfortunately for our Dodge team, Johnson County would rally late to beat Dodge 10-5. The weather would play another role by mid-afternoon as lightning would suspend play for about an hour. Dodge would unfortunately be eliminated later in the day in a loss to Screven County. Play ended just before midnight as ten games were completed in a very long day.
On Thursday, play started at 2:00 p.m. under absolutely beautiful conditions. The tournament would be narrowed down to three teams, as Reidsville would wait for the winner of Screven County and Glascock County. The early game between Glascock and Screven would be a wild one. The lead would swing back and forth and eventually go to extra innings tied at 8-8. Glascock would eventually win 11-10 in nine innings in a game that took over three hours to play. That advanced them to the championship game against Reidsville. Reidsville was too much as they grabbed the championship with a 12-3 win. Both teams will be in the class “C” state tournament that will start at the end of the month.
The tournament was very well attended as 2500 people were at the event for the week. Thanks goes out to the Albany Umpires Association for doing a fine job of umpiring the event. Thank you to the gatekeepers Julianne Bellflower, Seth Cossett and Logan White. Thanks also to Body Gray who helped out on many fronts, to Earl Boutwell and staff with the concession stand and to Kyle Turner and Phillip Kilgore of the Georgia State Patrol for providing security for the event.

Dear editor,
Recent news about massive flooding in Oklahoma, Arkansas and central Texas and the destruction caused by unprecedented tornadoes across the country should be effective rebuttals to the climate-change deniers.
Weather changes are bringing on great destruction affecting millions of people and yet deniers won’t face the huge problems brought on by human activities harmful to our fragile earth.  Case in point, my bride and I were tubing down the Comal River in the hill country between New Braunfels and San Antonio in 1996 post honeymoon. The water was littered with soda cans, beer cans, potato chip bags and, of course, a few meth heads and drunks passing us by with their illegal wares in hand. Since that time, the river has heightened in the trash level thereby magnifying this ongoing problem, which is ten times worse than reported by local news.
Sadly, we are leaving our children and grandchildren an earth with rising sea levels, uncontrollable pollution and ever-increasing destructive weather patterns.
Even my once sleepy town of Eastman, where I grew up and attended Dodge County High class of 1965, has the same growing pains of yankees, foreigners and sojourns moving in and bringing crime and pollution.  
We need to act as responsible adults and address climate change and confront these feckless individuals who trash our country now before it is too late.
TSGT. Joseph L Bryan, U.S.A.F. Ret 

Voting Republican helps to dethrone Maxine Waters and many other hideous leftists, reason enough to keep fighting.
Ann Coulter says post-1970 immigrants to the USA vote Democrat by an 8-2 margin, so naturally Democrat politicians care little about restricting immigration even as it destroys America.
Seventeen languages are spoken in the public schools in Northern Virginia. No wonder Virginia has morphed into a liberal state. Bumper sticker of the day : Obamacare Doesn’t Care.
“Democrats fear President Trump because he tells truths that have not been spoken before. For instance, he is publicly contradicting the narrative that illegal immigration is good for America.”

Want an example? “Obama’s aunt Zeituni Onyango flew in from Africa in 2000 on a visa, defied a 2004 deportation order and died in Boston in 2004 while living in public housing and on the public dole.”

Nikitas3.com has great information – highly recommended daily read. Didn’t read that in the local daily papers, did we? I usually avoid daily newspapers. Weeklies often are more interesting. So is the Internet. I thought The Washington P- - - was going under a while back.
Beto the Buffoon – Mr. O’Rourke is aptly described by Jeff Couere in CanadaFreePress.com 3-16-19: “Beto is like a mirage or a dream concocted by Hollywood liberals looking for the next John F. Kennedy or Barack Obama.”
