Obamacare was sold as an economic boost to America, keep your doctor, save money. B.H. Obama lied, no celebrity or media leftist complained about the scam, even though socialized medicine has never worked anywhere. If not for John McCain, we would be rid of it today.
Government medical systems don’t work. Obama proved that politicians try to get everyone under government control for votes.

Dear editor,
With respect to the United Methodist Church’s vote last month in Texas to maintain its traditional stance on homosexuality in delegate votes that marriage is between a man and a woman. For the most part, many of the members spoke out that they had no choice but to vote that way because it was biblical. You got to be kidding their Methodists. Are you just now waking up and smelling the coffee on that one? Apparently, however, that was not the vote of the majority of American delegates. It appears that church following biblical precepts is in the minority in many American churches on touchy issues.
To which I, and other like-minded God-fearing Christians (Baptist in my case), ask of you Methodists, are churches supposed to follow God’s directives or the popular opinion of the day by legislators (Democrats of course, no surprise there!)?
I got news for you good folks. God’s commandments is not some buffet a la carte where you can pick and choose which law is a feel good “pc” of the day.
Please tell me Methodists, why was there a vote in the first place?
And what part of the three words, “THOU SHALL NOT” do you folks not understand?
You folks that voted in favor of this debauchery and turpitude, as the old saying goes “You’re going to bust hell wide open, God does not send you to hell, you send yourself to hell”
That’s my opinion.

Dear editor,
Most of this Nation must be asking if God’s word still counts.
The word of God will never fail. America cannot become great as long as she keeps forgetting what our founding fathers believed in. Dr. Martin Luther King stated that no matter the color, we must all be wrapped in a single garment of togetherness as friends or we all will die together as fools. America’s number one problem is her first school, which is the home and which is no longer an institution of morality. Young boys and girls are not being taught that we go from holding hands to the wedding band.
God’s word will never fail although we have the right to disagree with each other. We keep emulating Frank Sinatra’s “I did it my way” instead of doing it God’s way. We are so busy asking God for what we want instead of giving Christ what he wants.
Our leaders are forgetting what our founding fathers believed in. America is a great Christian nation but she has forgotten how to be Christ like. If the time comes when America goes to pieces, it will be from inward corruption (Francis Grimke).
The time has come when Christians must vote for honest men and take consistent ground in politics or the Lord will curse them (Charles Finney). The cornerstone of modern civilization must continue to be religion and morality (President William H. Taft). Faith is our surest strength and our greatest resource (President Dwight D. Eisenhower).
It is impossible to rightfully 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 (President Lyndon B. Johnson).
It was the Supreme Court in 1965 that made the law that students will not pray in the classroom unless it was done without moving the lips. America would do well to remember to balance each day with power in the hand and Christ in the heart. Our most merciful Holy Father, we thank you for having blessed this nation for more than 240 years.
Because of your love and mercy, we ask that you please do not pass this nation by, for you have not judged this nation, as her sins deserve. In the name of our savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
As Easter of 2019 approaches, let’s set a clear goal of knowing God better by drawing nearer to Him. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you (James 4:8). What does it mean to draw near? To spend more one on one time with Him in prayer, reading His word and just listening for His voice. When we are listening to Him, there will be no pride, no self-righteousness, no boasting (unless it is on Jesus), no arrogance, no strife, no contentions and no trying to hurt one another. God’s solution for pride is to humble ourselves under the hand of God and admit that He is right and we are wrong (unless we are doing His will). We can then draw near to God and He will draw near to us. The devil must flee.
We must realize that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears Him and does what is right. God opens His arms wide to extend love to everyone. May we do the same in His power. God still hates the wicked and violent. He will bring about justice and He still loves the people. He is on the throne and sees everything that is going on.
D – Delight in the Lord (Ps 37:4)
R – Rely on the Lord (Pro 3:5) Trust Him
A – Achieve (Ps 1:3), (Phil 4:13)
W – Wait on the Lord (Ps 40:1), (Is 40:31)
Draw nearer to God!

All should read “The Caravans Cometh, Making America Great No More”, by Ilana Mercer on Unz.com, Oct. 25, 2018. It’s also on Townhall.com and IlanaMercer.com. She’s a great writer, so don’t bother looking for her in your daily newspaper. They aren’t interested. I’m generally not interested in daily newspapers either. I used to subscribe to the Atlanta Journal and the Gwinnett Daily Post but no more.
I hate to see Dick Williams retire from The Georgia Gang TV show, the only panel show I can stand watching. I remember seeing Dick refereeing high school basketball at Parkview and around Gwinnett County. He was very good at that also, and he was the reason I read the afternoon Atlanta Journal instead of the morning Constitution. When the Journal shut down and the Dick Williams column was gone, I stopped reading the local papers and I don’t miss the remnant at all.
Anything goes in the drive to destroy Trump.
“California has many poor people and a lot of rich annoying people”, says Kurt Schlichter, California commentator and attorney. California is headed downward – it’s going to be Venezuela 2”, says Kurt. There is a huge Demographic shift occurring. In California, 1 in 4 residents was born outside the USA. California, Nevada, Colorado and Virginia have all flipped to blue. Shouldn’t the Democrats’ color be red instead of blue, since they are generally pro-communist? Democrats are sometimes sensitive to the suggestion of Communists in their party.

Mexico is a dangerous place to visit. A nice vacation there is merely getting home safely. The tourism industry in the USA and Mexico try to keep the crime aspects of foreign travel buried.
R.I.P. Mike Rebhan, age 51, great Georgia Bulldogs pitcher and MVP of the 1990 College World Series. Mike defeated Stanford star pitcher Mike Mussina twice in the series, had a 1.00 ERA in the series, and only lost one game during the entire 1990 season. This was Georgia’s first and only NCAA baseball championship. After finishing at Georgia Mike Rebhan moved back to his native Florida and went on to become a successful software engineer.
March 3, 1989 was the day the Eastern Airlines strike began, now 30 years ago. It seems about 15. We were ordered off the field around 9:00 a.m. on 3-3-89. I was there from 1980 to 1989 and recommend the book “Grounded: Frank Lorenzo and the destruction of Eastern Airlines” by Aaron Bernstein. It was a fine account of what actually happened. By the way, Phil Bakes, Lorenzo’s right-hand man and president of Eastern Airlines at the time, earlier served as Ted Kennedy’s campaign manager. Nope, not all executives are conservatives. I noticed at the time Eastern’s hierarchy was loaded with liberal Democrats under Lorenzo’s tenure.

Dear editor,
Individually or collectively, because of inherent sin, we will not make America a great perfection nation.
The only real GPS for this nation is the Holy Bible. Most of this nation are saying two different things. Although America is the greatest Christian nation, she has forgotten how to be Christ like.
This nation is experiencing darkness and doesn’t seem to realize it. Jesus Christ is not a part-time love we call on when we are in trouble. He is and always will be Lord of all. Americans are good at living in the past.
She should look to history to prevent past mistakes and to God for guidance. As the leader of Russia and former President Richard Nixon has stated “if this nation falls, it will be from inside corruption.”
While most americans are acting as though they are deaf, Jesus keeps saying you can hear me now and I can see you. It’s sad that such a great nation that has been so blessed yet the citizens are willing to pay such a great price with such a low return. So I say to all of you, what is happening in this nation and what will you do now?
Thank you and Lord bless.

Dear editor,
We have a trash crisis in our county. It is nothing new as this has been a challenge for many, many years. I’m sure you’ve probably seen pictures and comments on my personal Facebook page regarding this issue. It’s something I’ve kept up with and commented on for many years at commissioner meetings.
While we have a great crew of county workers who work hard to maintain our dumpster sites, they cannot do it alone. They need our help.
I’m sure as you read this note, you are thinking, “How can I help with the dumpsters?” There are many ways. First, make sure your trash is in trash bags and make sure you put those bags inside the dumpsters. Secondly, the dumpsters are for household garbage only. Do not leave anything outside the dumpsters on the ground and do not leave items that shouldn’t be left at the dumpster sites.
There is an ordinance in our county regarding trash. For example, tires, industrial waste, building materials, hazardous refuse, combustible liquids, toxic materials, dead animals, yard trimmings, appliances, furniture and mattresses should be taken to the transfer station and not the dumpster sites. Do not take these type items to the dumpsters.
Did you know that our county has a transfer station? It is located at 5508 Dodge Avenue in Eastman. Hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. and Saturday mornings 8:00 a.m. until noon. This is the location where you need to take non-household garbage.
Lastly, the best help is to report people who are abusing the availability of our dumpster sites. If you see a person rummaging/digging in the dumpsters, get their tag number from their vehicle, take their picture and report it to our county manager. Did you know that there is a fine associated with digging in the trash?
If we continue to allow this to happen, we may lose our dumpster sites throughout the county and be forced to use the transfer station at all times. Or, we may even have to resolve to the idea of paying for trash collection at our residences.
It is time to get involved! It’s time to offer our help to our county manager and commissioners. Let’s offer ideas and suggestions and work together to combat this problem. Together, we can keep Dodge County clean!

Dear editor,
I was deeply saddened to see so many states opposing our president, Donald Trump, in his efforts to protect our southern border and the citizens of our great country. You democrat lawmakers who are spearheading a law in stopping our commander in chief, do you not understand that you were elected by and obligated to protect the citizens of your state? I doubt that you got any votes from illegal immigrants streaming across our southern border, but maybe you did. Democrats would do anything to garner votes to keep their agenda alive and to send this country to hell and back. In all fairness, both isles of congress has failed to do its job in stopping the flood of illegal immigrants and the flood of drugs that are coming in from Mexico that everyone acknowledges is happening.
I agree that there are a lot of things that can be done to stop this other than a wall, but for political reasons no one in congress will actually address or even consider them. Here is a short list that even this hayseed hick from the back woods of Dodge County can identify and actually act a deterrent.
1. Pass a law stating that no welfare shall be provided to people crossing illegally across the border. 2. Pass a law that stating that any non-citizen caught voting in national or state elections will be deported. 3. Cut off funding for sanctuary cites.
4. Enforce E-verify system. 5. Enforce overstaying visas. 6. End, or greatly restrict, chain migration. 7. And finally, pass a law doing away with the anchor baby provision.
Nothing like any of this has been proposed. All that is talked about is “use technology rather than the wall”. A wall might not be 100 percent effective, but at least President Trump is trying.
It seems that President Trump is the only person of authority that cares about protecting our citizens of the onslaught of caravans, and you, the democrat law makers and voting block want to stop him. Even worse, state elected officials will be using tax dollars pursuing this to stop President Trump from protecting our citizens. It reflects poorly on our country abroad and is an embarrassment. There’s a reason why the new title of “Democrat” is so appropriately now titled “Demo-Rat”. Your voting block and law makers are NOT your Grand daddy’s “Truman democrats”. You are a den of snakes that will stop at nothing in replacing “old Glory with the Communist proletarian hammer and sickle.
God help our country.

Democrats would do anything to garner votes to keep their agenda alive and to send this country to hell and back. In all fairness, both isles of congress has failed to do its job in stopping the flood of illegal immigrants and the flood of drugs that are coming in from Mexico that everyone acknowledges is happening.
I agree that there are a lot of things that can be done to stop this other than a wall, but for political reasons no one in congress will actually address or even consider them. Here is a short list that even this hayseed hick from the back woods of Dodge County can identify and actually act a deterrent.
1. Pass a law stating that no welfare shall be provided to people crossing illegally across the border. 2. Pass a law that stating that any non-citizen caught voting in national or state elections will be deported. 3. Cut off funding for sanctuary cites.
4. Enforce E-verify system. 5. Enforce overstaying visas. 6. End, or greatly restrict, chain migration. 7. And finally, pass a law doing away with the anchor baby provision.
Nothing like any of this has been proposed. All that is talked about is “use technology rather than the wall”. A wall might not be 100 percent effective, but at least President Trump is trying.
It seems that President Trump is the only person of authority that cares about protecting our citizens of the onslaught of caravans, and you, the democrat law makers and voting block want to stop him. Even worse, state elected officials will be using tax dollars pursuing this to stop President Trump from protecting our citizens. It reflects poorly on our country abroad and is an embarrassment. There’s a reason why the new title of “Democrat” is so appropriately now titled “Demo-Rat”. Your voting block and law makers are NOT your Grand daddy’s “Truman democrats”. You are a den of snakes that will stop at nothing in replacing “old Glory with the Communist proletarian hammer and sickle.
God help our country.

Walter Jones rest in peace
Congressman Walter Jones (R-N.C.) Rest In Peace. He died on his 76th birthday, Feb. 10. The Republican establishment tried to defeat Congressman Jones in the Republican Primary a couple of elections back and will deny it but that tells you something you probably suspected if you watch closely. All should look up the tributes to Rep. Jones, who was one of the best and was a leading opponent of pointless foreign adventurism.
“Walter Jones was a fine Southern gentleman, a kind man in a mean profession, a person of faith willing to change his mind and follow his conscience, and a principled voice for peace. RIP.”

The gutless Republican establishment needs to reinstate Rep. Steve King’s (R-Iowa) committee assignments, which they pulled after he wanted to know why the terms “white supremacist” and “white nationalist” had become unmentionable. The spineless party leadership should show a backbone for a change instead of constantly backing down to the medialeft.
“Conservatives who think you can have ‘civil rights’ without quotas are deluding themselves.”

How much foreign aid do we throw away each year, $30 billion or so? Thirty billion bucks per year is more than $82 million per day. That adds up quickly and could fund a lot of walls.
El Paso, Texas had 23 murders last year; next door Juarez, Mexico had over 1,200 murders in the same period. Walls work!
“If you owned one share of Home Depot before its first stock split, you would now have 340 shares, worth more than $40,000.”

“The vast majority of early Home Depot associates did not have a college education. But they worked hard and were paid with salaries and stock options. Those options made many people wealthy and fueled our robust growth.”

Do you trust polls? Two weeks before the 2016 election, liberal site PoliticsUSA.com claimed a poll in Kentucky showed Donald Trump had nearly blown a 12 point lead and barely led Hillary Clinton. On election day Trump won the state easily. Trump 62.3%, Clinton 32.5%, a 29.8 % margin. If anyone paid for that poll they should be issued a refund.
Just after his election, Mr. Trump got quick action on the Carrier Air Conditioning jobs, keeping most of them in Indiana instead of moving to Mexico as Carrier had planned. I’ve never heard of such instant results from a president-elect before he assumed office, and this was the beginning of a good run. Musician and Trump supporter Kid Rock was right when he said, “Let the business guy run the country like a business.”
Over 200 counties Obama carried flipped to Trump in 2016.
Kohl’s has an apostrophe but Walgreens does not. Why not?

The groups are well-funded and organized, obviously. How about an investigation of the invaders and their handlers?

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
Crying for help.
Although there is no presence of tears, our younger generation is crying.
In their own way they are saying, “I am tired of living and I am afraid to die”. God blessed man and a woman with the ability to bring a child into the world and they are told how to raise the child. Children for failing because of their first school, the home. Parents and many other adults have become more comfortable with pleasing children rather than loving them. We are failing in discipline and holding our younger generation accountable for their actions.
We are failing in training children in the ways of our Lord and Savior. Are we doing more than just going to church?
There was a time our young boys and girls were going from holding hands to the wedding band. Now we just accept the life style of living together with no commitment. It was our Heavenly who said no sex before marriage.
When we celebrate with a baby shower, we are saying that God’s word does not count. Is it that hard to get back to loving children for who they are instead of who they are not? There will always be times when some will go in the wrong direction, however we must balance each day with the power in our hand and with the love of God in our heart.
Always look to history to prevent past mistakes and to Christ for guidance. I pray that most of this nation will remember that Jesus is the answer for our world today; without him there is no other for Jesus is the way. Lord bless and Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you beautiful ladies.
Msg. (R) Johnny L. Black
