Dear editor,
While researching the 1918 pandemic flu and the untold thousands it killed, I couldn’t help musing of my grandfather Lawrence Andrews born 1890 and native of Eastman who lived through that pandemic, and his accounts of the sickness. Having been told of the stories many years ago, I’m even luckier than I thought. Not only did he, his parents and his siblings all live through the scourge, they did it in Eastman where many people foolishly choose to disobey doctors’ advice and public health authorities. These people apparently felt it was their “right” to celebrate the end of World War I en masses, pack the gathering halls, restaurants and get haircuts. Sound familiar?
Today, we have “protesters”, incensed about their “need” to get a pedicure, hair trimmed, roots touched up, seeking to liberate states from moderate business protective closures. Confusing themselves with true patriots. These scofflaws and idiots assert themselves as it’s their “choice” to go wherever they please. Never mind that this practice spreads the virus indiscriminately now, as it did in 1918. These morons are taking cue of course from organized groups fostering these spontaneous demonstrations around the country on social media and the incendiary words of politicians.
Luckily for some states governors, and local authorities are in charge of keeping us safe as possible from the virus and the very real disease it can bring. Now in 1918, we are not immune from either stupidity or the treatable virus, but we can choose not to be its vectors. Considerate neighbors and good citizens wouldn’t dream of making other people sick, or even putting them at risk. If ever there was a time for simple decency, this is it. But then again, this is the 21st Century America, where people have fist fights over toilet paper in grocery stores, video of both men and women taking a gallon of ice-cream from the store freezer and licking it with their tongue for laughs. And please, don’t forget it’s perfectly legal to defecate and urinate on city streets and sidewalks in California.
This is your America we call home now.

Cynthia Lummis, a big favorite of mine, running for the open U.S. Senate from Wyoming, has a neat campaign ad stating, “good fences really do make good neighbors” – a great philosophy on borders. She was Wyoming State Treasurer and the state’s only U.S. House member for several terms, retired and took about a three year break. She had me on her e-mail list and kept me better informed than my Congressmen, John Linder and later Rob Woodall, nothing against either. Cynthia is active, fearless and gutsy, has great political instincts. Welcome back – she should win easily. She is also endorsed by Senator Rand Paul. I remember when she was in the House she endorsed Rand Paul for president, now he returns the favor. Good for both, and both of Wyoming’s U.S. Senators are backing her.

Mike Lindell, the My Pillow Man, has a net worth of $130 million, also a great life story. Way to go, Mike.
I’m so old I can remember when the Detroit Pistons were in Fort Wayne. Anyone remember the Zollner Pistons? Remember Harry Gallatin and Nat “Sweetwater” Clifton? Those guys made peanuts playing pro basketball, long before ESPN and other sports networks. No cable back then.

Dear editor;
My name is Dolores Dennis.
I am 93 years old. My husband died in 1969 when he was only 48 years old. He was sick many years before he died and was unable to work so it was a very difficult time for him and he often struggled with depression.
Lawrence Rogers, someone well known to our community, would often come by and visit to lift my husband’s spirits and it did. Then after my husband’s death he was there for our family in our time of grief.
Lawrence is the kind of person that wants to do anything he can to help his fellow man. I know there are hundreds of similar stories to mine where Lawrence has been there and I just wanted him to know how much he is appreciated, not only by my family and myself but I’m sure our entire community.
Thank you,
Dolores Dennis and family

Dear editor,
The whole world is shaking.
No matter where we look or start, the virus, violence, abortion, worldly problems, it has got the whole world shaking, all because people forget how to lean on the Lord. In God We Trust has become just another fad without true meaning. This nation forgets how to lean on the Lord. What good is past history if we don’t learn from it?
We must look to God for guidance and to history to prevent past mistakes. Christ has told us to love one another as he has loved us. As I look around, I have eyes and I can see, a mouth and I can talk, feet and I can walk, I just want to say Lord, I thank you.
There are those who have eyes and cannot see, ears and cannot hear, food with no appetite and appetite and no food. Lord, some of us have it all and I thank you. This is the time that this nation should stop and ask the question, “How much do I owe him?”
Must Jesus bare the cross alone while the entire world goes free? There is a cross for everyone and there is a cross for me. I remember the old hymn, A charge to keep I have a God to glorify me, may all my power engage to do my masters will. Jesus Christ died on the cross for you and I.
Time is not long as it has been for their will come a day when night will never come again. Christ has made it plain, when he returns whatever we are doing don’t stop. It will be a sad day. When Christ returns, America will be caught with her word undone.
It’s great that America gives honor to the American flag with pledge, but I wonder about the two greatest pledges of all, pledge to the Christian flag to Christ and his Kingdom and the pledge to the Holy Bible that we may not sin against God. If this nation is looking for something that is so delicious that they want it to last forever, just turn to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
IF we stop, look and listen, Jesus is talking and we can hear what he is saying. Our heavenly father, no matter what condition this nation finds itself in, you alone through your son; our Lord and Savior can bring order to the chaos that man creates. Look mercifully upon us as we go about our daily lives.
Teach us to apply your wisdom, guide us in our dealing with our fellow men and give us renewed strength when we seem to falter along the way. In Jesus precious name, Amen!

Deleter of the free world
Hillary: Deleter of the free world. I wish I’d thought of it but it was the front page headline of the New York Post 10-21-16.
“Corrupt media aid corrupt Hillary by rigging questions.”
Lew Rockwell on LewRockwell.com 10-21-16
Whistleblower Christian Adams claimed in October 2016 that four million dead people were still on the voter rolls around the USA. Unscrupulous live people vote in their place, of course. Liberals always oppose voter identification laws.
Keep in mind how crooked these people are. The Demoleft Party had to replace their top three officers before the 2016 election after they rigged the primary against Bernie Sanders.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz was dumped but immediately became chairman of the Hillary campaign. Hillary always represented the Demo establishment. Both party establishments attacked Trump, of course. The Democrats rigged the primary against Bernie Sanders.
Donald Trump calling for repeal of Obamacare was always the biggest applause line of his 2016 campaign.
A good rule to keep in mind: “If you’re a Republican, if you care what the press says, you lose.”
Dennis Prager
I believe Donald Trump keeps this in mind every day. Hitting them back is the best strategy.
Those “experts” at the hideous Washington P- - - newsrag wrote on October 24, 2016, less than two weeks before the November election that “Donald Trump’s odds of winning (the election) are approaching zero.”
In 2016, 22 Congressional Medal of Honor winners and 200 retired Generals endorsed Trump. They didn’t buy the lies of the media left.
How to explain America’s myopia in electing Barack Obama, not once, but twice? Guilt inspired by left wing zealots!”

Dear editor:
Households throughout Georgia have received at least three mailings from the Census Bureau requesting their participation in Census 2020, and another paper copy of the form should arrive in the mail this week. Through April 4, 34.0 percent of Dodge County households had returned their Census, compared to 44.5 percent nationwide.
Census data is used by 316 programs to direct federal funding. These include Medicare and Medicaid, school lunches and health centers, and programs like WIC and SNAP. We all know people who benefits from these programs. Without claiming our share of federal funds, the cost of these critical services will be borne with state and local resources.
Census data is also used to adjust political jurisdictions such as congressional districts or state house and senate districts. Why does this matter? After the 2010 Census, five rural state house districts and two rural state senate districts became urban districts because of population shift. To ensure appropriate representation after Census 2020, be counted to preserve your political voice.
Enumerators from the Census Bureau will visit all nonresponsive households this summer to obtain responses. In light of COVID-19, do everyone a favor and complete the Census form online (www.my2020census.gov), on paper, or by phone (844-330-2020) so they must visit fewer households. It’s fast, easy and secure.

Fox Gutless News fired Trish Regan, one of its best hosts. She was always good, maybe a bit too conservative for the in-crowd now running Fox. Someone needs to give Fox some competition from the right. They win by default since the hopeless left wing competition is unbearable to watch.
A Quinnipiac poll the day before the November 2018 Florida governor’s election claimed Democrat Andrew Gillum (back in the news recently in a very bad way) would win by seven points.

Election Day “experts” claimed on Election Day 2014 Republican Paul LePage had no path to victory running for governor of Maine. Paul LePage (a rare New England conservative officeholder) won the largest number of votes ever cast in Maine that day. In 2018 he was term-limited out and said he was moving to Florida part time when his term expired. Gov. LePage says he helped lower the Maine tax burden, but the state still had some of the highest taxes in the USA. He said he was seeking a place to live part of the year after leaving office with lower taxes, also warmer.
Florida, with no state income tax, relies on a tourist-based economy, 23% of the economy, with tourists also producing 23% of the state’s sales tax revenue and employing more than one million Floridians. Florida in 2011 had a state record 87.3 million visitors.
According to big media, if you win a political race in the South as a Democrat you’re post-racial, but if a Republican wins a race in the South it’s because of bigotry and racism that he or she won.

These are difficult and uncertain times for everyone. Many uncertainties exist regarding the length of this pandemic, the impact it will have on medical resources, and the potential long-term effects on our economy. However, during this emergency, county services will continue to operate. Sanitation, critical road repairs, EMS, 911, and law enforcement will still be out serving the people of Dodge County, although in some cases requests that are not time sensitive may be delayed.

Dear editor,
Thank you for serving your community with a reliable news source. It is because of your reliability that I write today in hope that you can bring more awareness to your community and state about the needs of the low-income senior population.
Low-income seniors age 65 and over in Georgia have total incomes including social security and any other income between $12,384 (poverty) and $18,576 (150% poverty). This is too much income for Medicaid eligibility but not enough to meet ones basic needs. Medicare supplement premiums are unaffordable, as well as the co-pays of Medicare Advantage plans. Thus, many wait to do to the doctor until symptoms can no longer be ignored. This means chronic illnesses are not well managed and these seniors have a decline in health at a greater rate than those with higher incomes (Graves, et. Al., Health Affairs 39, Col. 1(2020: 67-76). As you know, seniors are at a greater risk to develop complications from the coronavirus, as well as flu and other common illnesses. If one is not in optimum health at the onset of such an illness, the risk for complications can be even greater.
There are some groups working with legislators to alleviate the financial strain of this population; Leading Age Group, The Georgia Council on Aging, and The Oaks Resident Advocacy Group, to name a few. These groups are helping seniors to obtain the basic needs for a dignified life. My hope is that you will investigate and publish the dilemma of seniors in Georgia aging with minimal financial resources. With a concerted effort by all Georgia’s citizens, change can happen.
Sincerely,
Barbara Adle

As you know, seniors are at a greater risk to develop complications from the coronavirus, as well as flu and other common illnesses. If one is not in optimum health at the onset of such an illness, the risk for complications can be even greater.
There are some groups working with legislators to alleviate the financial strain of this population; Leading Age Group, The Georgia Council on Aging, and The Oaks Resident Advocacy Group, to name a few. These groups are helping seniors to obtain the basic needs for a dignified life. My hope is that you will investigate and publish the dilemma of seniors in Georgia aging with minimal financial resources. With a concerted effort by all Georgia’s citizens, change can happen.
Sincerely,
Barbara Adle

Dear editor,
Simple yet powerful words. How can a person talk and talk and talk and yet when it comes time to speak words that have great importance, they are speechless? Two of those weighty words are “I’m Sorry”.
Without these words, and the sincerity of spirit backing them up, marriages fail, friendships break apart, family members suffer, working relationships become strained and the church loses its ability to minister to people.
So why do we become tongue-tied on those simple words? Because it is easy it is easy to justify our position on any matter. Easy to take our own side in an argument. You name it, and we can find a way to point to someone else as the villain in any given circumstance. We must be the heroes after all. We know our Bibles. We sit in the same pews ever Sunday. We can spot sin in someone else’s life faster that you can say “Judgment Day”! But the truth is, sometimes even as Christians we choose to play the villain in our life story. We forget kindness and we turn our backs on justice. We forget the most important scripters on love.
We need to take a deep love in the mirror, spiritually speaking, asking the Lord to show us if we are at fault and to give us the courage to make things right with others, to say the simple yet powerful words that can change a heart, a life.
Lord, please give me a humble heart so that I may always please you. Amen.

Dear editor,
Well, the government stimulus check is in the mail to millions of Americans to mitigate the effects of this little bug sojourning around our nation in economic shut down. But how many families will use this money in a way to help in a time of need? A few ways come to mind given the irresponsibility of so many citizens in this 21st Century.
Last time I checked on another money grab give away by another republican president was George H Bush, in 2005 for the thousands of citizens fleeing Louisiana in the days before Hurricane Katrina and settled in Houston, Texas. Several investigative media reporting, confirmed that a plurality of those wayward citizens used that thousand dollar gov’t give away on liquor, beer, cigarettes, and lap dances! Not necessarily in that order either.
Now with this current money give away, most Americans act like yaeeeey free money. Now, where do these idiots think this free money is coming from? It’s not free, you the tax payer is paying for this non sense. Only in America with these leeches with their hands out like a baby bird in a nest with their mouth open to be fed.
Now before you strong Trump supporters me included, get your knickers in a wad, put your impartial brain in gear and revisit what President Trump ran on in fiscal conservationism in reduced gov’t spending, and minimal gov’t debt during election, and reelection. It’s so contrary to his values, and undoubtedly quiet the opposite of Trump’s anti welfare rhetoric, if our economy was really as great as President claimed, the stimulus checks wouldn’t be necessary.
Do the math folks, these are reelection checks aimed at voters. And the irony of this, the same voters he is aiming for are NOT going to vote for him anyway. My opinion would have been to help people in need as in vouchers to pay food, rent, and utilities. Nope, lets raid the national treasury and help pole and lap dancers, state Lotto funds, cigarettes and liquor sales.
Politicians hard at work.

On the 5 yard line
Carl Ichan moved from New York City to Miami, Florida last year for lower taxes and maybe for better weather.
Impeachment talk about Donald Trump tries to create the illusion that he is doing something wrong. His offense to them is that he isn’t liberal enough.
Sen. Mitch McConnell says on 3-24-20 of the potential virus cure “I believe we are on the 5 yard line.” Let’s hope so but maybe Mitch was talking about our own five, 95 yards from paydirt.
He had Karl Rove figured out early on. How does Rove keep his job?
“Karl Rove wants to kill conservatism and play nice with Obama.”
Cliff Kincaid on CanadaFreePress.com 1-2-2012
Cliff Kincaid is also on AIM.org and USASurvival.org
Maybe Karl’s white chalkboard has the GOP leadership mesmerized.
Over 6 million Americans dropped off the food stamp program under the Trump presidency. Under Obama, they were advertising for people to get on the program. Once there they would almost certainly be loyal Democrats.
New York City comes to mind when one considers cities with large Jewish populations, but the city is only 9.7 percent Jewish. Palm Beach County, Florida is more than 20 percent Jewish.
Savvy commentator Michelle Malkin said in September 2019 that there were 30 million illegals in the USA. She says the 30 million figure comes from independent auditors. Big media claimed 13 million or some other lower number.
An extremist is now defined as someone who believes in America First.
The head of the Red Cross reportedly made more than $650,000 per year in 2018, almost as much as Fox News loser Juan Williams made. The head of United Way made $375,000 annually, while the head of the Salvation Army made only $13,000 per year. Keep those numbers in mind next time you make charitable donations.
