Dear editor,
During the week of April 22-28, 2018, the City of Eastman will join other cities across Georgia in celebrating Georgia Cities Week. This week has been set aside to recognize the many services city governments provide and their contribution to a better quality of life in Georgia. Our theme, “Cities in the Spotlight” reflect the role cities play in the state’s history, economy and culture.
City government is truly government of, by and for the people – the people who are making the decisions about our community are your neighbors, business owners and community leaders. We are in this together, and we want our city to thrive.
We recognize that throughout our lifetimes, the average person will have more direct contact with local governments than with state or federal governments. Because of this, we feel a responsibility to ensure that the public knows how the city operates and feels connected to their city government.
During this week, we want to recognize the role city government plays in our lives: from historic preservation to trash collection to public safety to promoting the area’s culture and recreation. We hope you will join us in this celebration and learn more about your city and how it operates for you.
The City will be hosting a variety of events during the week of April 22-28, 2018. A list of events, time and locations will be published in an up-coming edition of this paper. We invite and encourage all citizens of Eastman to participate in the celebration.
Jason Cobb
Eastman City Manager

Dear editor,
Well, this is what we have that is going to take the torch from the Greatest Generation and the “Baby Boomers” that will secure our nation to come. (The Millennials!), these little snot nose impudent and insolent brats who were initially victims from the Miami, Florida school shooting a few weeks ago, who think they now have their BIG BOY pants on and want to join the other cretins in the streets and be a “protester!” When, in actuality, the little darlings are just being manipulated by the far left to get more of their liberal crap burning for a while longer.
I see these kids got their ten minutes of fame already on the front cover of TIME magazine, hitting the late night talk shows and, of course, a movie coming soon.
But please you little rug rats, put down your stupid phones and learn to spell what is on your protest sign, and learn what the Constitution is before you run your little mouth. As one of these little idiots said, “This is what our democracy looks like.” Indeed, it does, because democracy is ruled by the mob. Fortunately, our forefathers created a Constitutional Republic for our form of government not a democracy. I wonder how many of these protesting students are even aware of this and understand the difference? The protesting students also want to raise the age of purchasing a rifle to 21, because 18 is too young. Perhaps the voting age should be returned to 21 as well. I dare say, that these kids, for the most part, can’t even pass a standard civil service test for city or federal government employment. Heck, kids nowadays can’t even make change from a grocery bill. Just for the heck of it, when going through a checkout with an item, and for the sake of this opinion letter, let’s say the bill is $23.17. Give the kid a twenty-dollar bill and a five-dollar bill and two pennies, and then look at the little munchkin face. He, or she, will literally look like a deer caught in the head lamps on how much change to give back to you.
Back in my day at Dodge High, class of 1965, we had to figure math at the blackboard in front of the whole class. Can’t do that now, the teacher will be fired. And of course, the KIDS will have a protest sign and more time to stay at home to play computer games (not to mention having to run to their safe place where words can’t kill them).
How sweet America is nowadays.

A stupid philosophy
Rest in Peace Augie Garrido, legendary college baseball coach, with five national championships and 1,945 wins as a head coach in 48 seasons. Augie died of a stroke at age 79.
Child poverty is annually said to be increasing in the USA. Of course it is – we are importing impoverished kids and adults, a stupid philosophy.
“DEMOCRAT…Once a political party now an inexplicable mental health crisis that threatens the existence of the United States.”
TheoSpark.net
“Once the government becomes the supplier of people’s needs, there is no limit to the needs that will be claimed as a basic right.”
Lawrence Auster
A Harvard study claimed Fourth of July celebrations promote Republican voting, reports Neil Munro on the Daily Caller (dailycaller.com). Liberals have posted warnings about this scary (to them) trend. Isn’t it a horrible thought that these kids might grow up to be conservatives after being influenced by these horrible right-wing extremists who celebrate Independence Day? The study was authored by two Swedes.
Back in 2011 the proposed National Sales Tax (Fair Tax) was supported by just six Senators, 61 Congressmen and two or three presidential candidates. As you can see, it has little chance of ever becoming law. The flat tax option proposed by Steve Forbes (file under the present complicated plan or pay the flat tax, your choice) fell flat, you could say, and was ridiculed by several Republicans running for president in the mid-1990s, mainly Phil Gramm and Lamar Alexander, probably jealous that they hadn’t thought of it first. Forbes had a very workable plan, which also partially privatized Social Security and it made perfect sense. Yes, I was a Forbes voter in the Republican Primary in 1996 and 2000. I was amazed that his campaign drew so little support.
California blowhard Governor Jerry “Bullet Train to Nowhere” Brown is a perpetual politician who now says he’s retiring. It would be big news if Jerry Brown ever left the political game.

Donald Trump has a winning formula. He knows the score – it’s Public 1, Liberal Pundits 0.

America needs fewer John McCains and more Herman Cains.
If you’re conservative, the Repubs are your only option. Republicans are the Stupid Party, Democrats are the Evil Party.
GOP: Generally Obtuse Party.

How to play the game
Wall Street knows how to play the game. The financial industry contributed hundreds of millions of dollars to the Obama 2008 campaign and again in 2012, even as Obama routinely trashed his Wall Street benefactors in his relentless search for votes.

“It is one of the great tragedies of the U.S. that most learn most of what they know about the government from the government.”

Baseball great and conservative commentator Curt Schilling says Fidel Castro was Cuba’s Adolph Hitler. I agree. The Hollywood Left crowd loved Fidel. So did Dan Rather, who called Castro “Cuba’s Elvis.”
The Establishment Elite attempts to stop the things we voted for.
Remember television star Richard Dawson? He was born Colin Lionel Emm.
In Wisconsin 22 counties voted for Barack Obama in 2012 and switched to Donald Trump in 2016. Obama carried Wisconsin by 7 points in 2012 and Trump took the state by less than one percentage point in 2016, becoming the first Republican to win Wisconsin in 32 years, when another “can’t win” Republican named Ronald Reagan won it in 1984, going 49 for 50 states.
Foolish out of touch Republican insiders claimed Trump couldn’t win the presidency and would never turn the blue states red. Trump not only made fools of the media – he also taught some lessons to his Republican detractors. Both groups continue to hate him.

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
Americans crying with no tears.
Why has a nation that has been so blessed continue to become so divided? There is more than enough blame to go around.
Children are failing because of their first school, which is no longer a university of character. A home with biological parents has become a thing of the past. The best teachers and equipment are not the total answers. Discipline and holding children accountable for their actions is one of the key factors.
Without realizing it, too many Americans are getting too fat to go to Heaven. Lust, hate and lying will always be fat. Americans could start out each day with a slice of love, a cup of prayer and a taste of understanding would be a good starter.
It’s sad to see such a blessed nation that will choose wrong over right. From top to bottom America has become more divided than ever. Our two governing parties have so much envy, they are just one step from hate.
As Americans, we have the right to disagree with each other but not to rewrite history. This nation, once again, must become one where we all are friends or we all will die as fools. If we are not going to live it, we must stop saying “In God We Trust.” Half-truths will take this nation nowhere. Any man or woman that has no fear of the truth has no fear from a lie. A lie don’t care who tells it, so does the truth.
What our forefathers believed in has all but been forgotten. “The cornerstone of modern civilization must continue to be religion and morality.”-- President William H. Taft. “For it is my deep conviction that democracy cannot live without that true religion, which gives a nation a sense of justice and of moral purposes.”—President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
“It is impossible to rightful govern the world without God and the Bible.”—President George Washington. “America must remember that separation of church and state must never mean the separation of religious values from the lives of public servants…if we who serve free men today are to differ from the tyrants of this age, we must balance the powers in our hand with God in our hearts.”—President Lyndon B. Johnson. “I have lived, sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proof I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men…We have been assured, sir, in the sacred writing, that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that built it. I firmly believe that without his concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builder of Babel.”—Benjamin Franklin.
Jesus Christ is Lord of all or he is not Lord at all. This is the decision that Americans must decide on. Lord Bless.

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
Public records are yours!
Happy Sunshine Week! This week (March 11-17, 2018) newspapers nationwide grade the performance of government agencies on access to public records.
“Public records” generally are defined as records, regardless of their physical form, made or received in connection with official government business. “Regardless of physical form” means that public records come in various forms, not just paper records. They can also be electronic, such as email or can be photos, video or audio.
Examples of public records used by reporters are arrest reports, mug shots, lawsuits and property records. Add a quote or two and presto! Story!
The term FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) is an acronym commonly used when describing the activity of accessing records from government agencies. But each state has a name for its own public records law.
Some newspapers this week will report that they submitted identical requests for records to various agencies and compared the responses and compliance with public records laws. Some papers this week will expose an agency that stonewalls access to public records.
Public records are a big deal to newspapers. They form the backbone for many stories and access to records can affect the paycheck of a reporter. Perusing newspaper articles will often reveal information from a public record.
Since “NEWS” could be defined as “something that someone somewhere wants to withhold”, reporters are constantly turning over rocks at the county courthouse, police station and any government agency that might contain THE public record which can be utilized in a story.
Allegations of “Fake News” can easily be countered with public records.
But reporters certainly don’t have the market cornered on public records. They are public records. You paid for them with your tax dollars and they are yours! Does your daughter’s new boyfriend have a criminal record? How much did your new neighbor pay for that house? Has your doctor ever been disciplined? Did your old flame ever get married? All can be found in public records.
Tips on becoming a crackerjack public records researcher:
1. If you are uncertain whether a government record is public or not – don’t waste your time wondering about it. Just ask for it. It is the responsibility of the agency to tell you if the record is public or not.
2. Don’t ask questions. Government types are not required to answer your questions. They are required to provide public records. So frame your question as a public record request. Don’t ask: “How much is our mayor making this year?” Better: “Please provide a copy of the record that shows how much the mayor makes per year.”
3. The more exact the request, the better. Add as much detail as possible so the records custodian can find your record easily.
4. Be persistent and patient. Some governments are painfully slow.
5. Some records custodians will have your records to you before you finish drinking that cup of coffee. And to those records custodians please wish them a Happy Sunshine Week! And, if you give them flowers you will get your records even faster! (Yes, that is a proven technique!)
Good luck in your search!

Letter to the editor
Dear editor:
While liberal left wing demo-(RATS) were successful in eliminating the pledge of Allegiance, and GOD in our public schools, we should take this opportunity to reform all aspects of our American schools.
Let’s begin in the cafeteria. It is so unfair that the Jewish children who follow the Kosher rules cannot partake of such foods as cheeseburgers and sausage pizza. Let’s eliminate them. In fact, let’s eliminate all meats, eggs, and milk products out of respect for the vegetarians. Children with gluten intolerance and food allergies would be restricted from certain foods,as well; So let’s just eliminate all cafeteria foods.
Well, it’s just not fair that some children could have better lunches from home than others; so let’s eliminate the lunch period all together. After all inequality is inequity. Music definitely must go, as it is unfair to the hearing impaired. Books are out of the question. Blind children can only read Braille, and some children have physical disabilities that would prevent hem from using their fingers to read the Braille. Besides, books are made from trees. If we use computers, that might be a stir over which company’s product were chosen.
Of course, all sports programs should be discontinued as well. Competition is devastating to a child’s self esteem. Also, the black populace cannot agree on what happen in the past with the removal of confederate statues on what truly transpired in the past, so let’s just cut out history all together.
We could have science I suppose, if we could do it without textbooks, pencils, paper, oh! my gosh (trees again), pens (made from plastic, a petroleum byproduct;) we still have a duty to protect the environment from exploitation. I guess the children could still gather for long naps, but what about the bed wetters and children with sleep disorders. This is the “PC” country you have now in America, and how did it happen? You, and your laziness in not voting keeping these democrat bottom feeders out of our homes and lives. Now put the Chesterfield cigarette down and get your fat ass out of that Lazy Boy and go vote!
Your guns are next if you continue to stay home.

Dennis says the new French premier is “a French Barack Obama.” Heaven help France.
“It’s a great country, where anybody can grow up to be president…except me.”
Barry Goldwater
Temperatures at 10 a.m. on 1-7-17: 72 at Fort Myers, Fl., 64 at Flagler Beach, Fl., minus 2 at Sandpoint, Idaho. Sandpoint, Idaho is a beautiful area near the Canadian border but I went there in late September years back when it was warm – and Fall color was perfect. Sarah Palin was born in Sandpoint, and later moved to Alaska. She’s still hated by liberals – good for her.
As of April 2017 the Cleveland Browns had used 26 different starting quarterbacks since 1999, and a few more since.
US Weekly is described as a left-wing celebrity tabloid by Robert Kraychik, writer for DailyWire.com.
Just think – socialist Bernie Sanders could’ve knocked Hillary out of the race if he’d been willing to hit hard early on. Bernie probably believed the media line that she was unbeatable.

Warmongers?
There were 1.6 million Americans killed in four wars in the 20th century. All four started under five liberal Democrat presidents: WW1 (Woodrow Wilson), WW2 (Franklin Roosevelt), Korea (Truman) and Vietnam (Kennedy and Johnson). Remember the old scare tactics leveled at Republican presidential candidates as being warmongers?
“As long as liberals control the interpretation of the Constitution, conservatives’ attempts at reform will amount to rolling boulders uphill.”
Joseph Sobran 1996 Sobran.com
Lou Gehrig once earned $305,000 playing baseball. Actually this was the total of his earnings for his entire baseball career.
The first automobile insurance policy had a yearly premium of $11.05, issued by Travelers Insurance Company on 1-2-1898.
Someone figured it out: an ant can carry 52 times its body weight.
The National Council of Churches claimed in 1996 that church membership was growing faster than the population. Let’s hope the new members aren’t joining NCC-affiliated churches.
Following tax rate cuts by Presidents Coolidge, Kennedy and Reagan, the economy boomed and tax collections mushroomed. Every time rates are cut, the economy flourishes and revenues rise dramatically. You get more of what you reward and less of what you punish. Liberals cannot grasp this fundamental concept. They always seem to believe in static budgeting.
Political correctness: anything that offends the Left.

Dear editor,
I am seeking the descendants of Sarah Liza Hodge (1840-1907). She was the mother of W. Henry Swearengen. She is buried in the Macedonia Baptist Church Cemetery in Dodge County.

Nutball Nancy Pelosi
Nutball Nancy Pelosi (Demoleft – Ca.) says America owes a “debt” to illegals. I consider it paid in full. Think of how many Americans have been murdered by these lawless invaders. White guilt runs deep with many. Pelosi is super wealthy and has a lot of low-paid, unskilled workers in her employ in California wine country.
Republicans continue to fund Planned Parenthood. Maybe this is part of the moronic Repub establishment outreach programs.

Good new site: Whatfinger.com. Take a look and check it out. Big media will never tell you the good stuff. I say read a lot and decide for yourself. You don’t need big media telling you how to think.
Always remember – there’s news and there’s THEIR news.
Bermuda has repealed same sex marriage. Imagine that ever happening here. Imagine such a law being considered in the USA twenty or thirty years back.
Most airline stocks are best avoided, but Southwest (symbol LUV) is consistently profitable. Southwest is also heavily unionized, over 80 percent so.
How long is the U.S. tax code? As of February 2014 it was more than five times longer than the Bible.

I never watch
Morning Joe Scarborough on MSNBC (I never watch) is disappointed that Donald Trump has been declared mentally fit. I can’t stand that show nor George Step on all of us, a couple of losers. I recommend 1025WFLA.com from 6 to 9 a.m. with the great Bud Hedinger. Listen anywhere on the Internet.
Speaking of mental fitness or unfitness, I noticed Alabama linebacker Mekhi Brown has left the building. Mr. Brown swung and missed an Alabama assistant coach on the sideline after the inept Big Ten officials finally got it right, flagging Brown for a late hit 15 yard penalty against Georgia in a game marred by missed calls. Mr. Brown has moved on to Tennessee State U., a haven for ex-SEC players. I believe they now have five players who used to play for Southeastern Conference schools.
She says she was raped by Bill Clinton, then was intimidated by that champion of women everywhere Hillary Clinton, Juanita Broddrick told a Dateline USA interviewer.
“The ‘crime of the century’ is bad journalism.”

“The Democrats are now officially post-America”

What would James Madison, father of the Constitution, think of today’s politicians?

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
Well, Ocmulgee EMC (OEMC) has done it again. If your electric bill didn’t double in January, then you must be on total gas. Even though many of us use gas or firewood for heat, the bill still doubled.
If the cost of gasoline doubled, we would all panic. Are you tired of being robbed? What can we do about this?
A couple of things come to mind. Class action law suits. Call the consumer protection bureau. Elect new government “representatives” to enact laws that provide for competition in the electricity market.
When you are ripped off, you tend to get angry. Any change in the weather is an excuse to rob you. Electricity in Georgia is produced by hydropower and nuclear power. Electricity is transmitted over wires – not by truck, as gasoline is.
Another thing: if it rains in Dodge County, the power goes out. Last time, it took days to get it back on. When we pay the kind of price that OEMC charges, should we not get top service?
If you need to call the OEMC office, all you get is bull; they know you have to have power, so they don’t care what you have to say. I think OEMC has too many rights and not enough responsibility.
The mere fact of it (OEMC) having “territory” stifles competition and puts you, the consumer, solely in their “power.” Why should you not be able to buy power from the provider with the lowest cost? Anything else that you buy works that way, but not electricity!
I have Georgia Power lines on my property, but I can only buy from OEMC. Does that make sense? That is called a monopoly. Should that not be illegal? Why not?
Also, whose “bright” idea was it to charge sales tax on electricity? I give you one guess.
Let’s all get together and find a solution to this fleecing that OEMC is giving us. Call your representative. Writing does no good.
Stan Evans
