R.I.P. Coach Paul Koshewa (1923 – 2016), outstanding track coach, fought in WW II, Korea and Vietnam, was a Colonel in my Air Force Reserve unit. The book Legends, by Gene Asher, has a chapter on Coach Koshewa, a fine fellow, a great American. His high school football coach in Louisville, Kentucky was legendary Georgia coach Wally Butts.
Gun Owners of America calls Sen. John McCain (RINO – Arizona) “a liberal in disguise. ”His disguise is coming off. He is being challenged by Arizona Physician Kelli Ward, D.O. in the August Republican Primary. Dr. Ward appears to have a good shot at taking him out. I’ll take GunOwners.org any time over the NRA.
“Because the state can no longer protect us from crime, it wants to take away from us the means of protecting ourselves. This is the logic of gun control.”

Which Democrat is sleazier: Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton or John Edwards?
I keep hearing foreign leaders are wary of Donald Trump. That’s a good sign. Maybe we should be wary of most foreign leaders.
Baseball great Curt Schilling was fired by ESPN (Egotistical Sociologists Peddling Nonsense) for making a conservative political comment on Facebook. ESPN is as liberal as any network and Curt Schilling is a conservative Republican. Curt was making $2.5 million per year, or some $6,849 per day all year; not bad pay. He found out that any political opinion expressed must be liberal. Free speech works for some people but diversity of thought is prohibited by the left.
Republicans should rerun the Dateline interview with Clinton victim Juanita Broaddrick of Feb. 24, 1999. Segments of the interview would make a nice commercial. Unlike many ineffective Republican candidates, Donald will hit back at his critics and voters like it.

What we should be looking for
South Carolina RINO Senator Lindsey Grahamnesty says he won’t vote for D.J. Trump or H.R. Clinton. He claims Trump isn’t a real conservative Republican. Of course Graham’s best friend Juan McPain (RINO – Arizona) isn’t particularly conservative either. The D.C. in-crowd has claimed for years that the Republicans must nominate a moderate to win in November. If Trump isn’t a conservative, maybe he’s what we should be looking for in a presidential candidate.
From July 1 through September 30, 2015 Donald Trump received 73,942 unsolicited campaign donations, averaging $50.46 per contribution from the general public totaling just under $3.6 million, without asking for a dime. He’s self-funding his campaign but accepts donations from all supporters. The political establishment hates him for this since he defies their strategy of big donors controlling access to the election.
Do you want Hillary Clinton to pick the next three or four Supreme Court justices, and bunches of federal judges, all serving life terms, almost impossible to remove no matter how despicable they are?
In Chicago, as of May 5th, over 1,000 people have been shot, with nearly 200 killed, even though the city has the toughest gun laws in America.
They’re talking about the 1994 Contract With America as I type this. I remember Governor Mitt Romney of Massachusetts at the time saying he was not for the plan, distancing himself from it in ‘94. Mitt sounded like a liberal Democrat at the time. The “experts” in both parties hyped Mitt as the best bet for Republicans against Obama in 2012. He turned out to be a weak candidate and lost a very winnable race against a terrible president.
“Unity does not require unanimity of thought.”
California Governor Ronald Reagan April 1, 1967
Ilana Mercer (IlanaMercer.com) calls it “migratory pressure.”
“The U.S. is a high-wage area. Latin America is a low-wage area…The closer the language we use approximates reality – and by extension, the truth – the greater the likelihood that our actions will follow. In this sense, Trump’s blunt, in-artful language is immensely helpful.”

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
Now that you have graduated, what’s next? If you know where you want to go, do you know how you will get there? Are you willing to take the long way around just to get to a short distance?
Just remember, you were created original and you have been given the power to not accept life the way it came. Now you will have to press on to the end. You’ve come this far so you can’t just turn around. Now you must walk by faith while ignoring your fears leaving you past behind. Your future is near. Keep your eyes on the prize while staying focused.
You can make it to the end. Remember Peter who stepped out of the boat and walked on the water. As soon as he began to look at the wind, he began to sink. When Peter cried out for help, Jesus said why did you doubt me while giving into the wind? You’ve got to press on and stay focused, because you can make it to the hill. Just stay focused because it’s too late to turn around.
You do not need anyone’s permission to be human or to do the right thing. Your ability will get you to the top, but endurance will keep you there. Try to avoid doing something today that you will hate yourself for tomorrow. Avoid letting you life become like the wind. You can feel it, can’t see it and you don’t know where it’s going.
A great way for you to start each day is to just tell Jesus. “Lord, whatever you are doing in this season, please don’t let me forget about you. I know that whatever I start out to do each day, together you and I can accomplish it. For it’s with you that I can go for that one moment in time when I can become more than what I thought I could be.
That one moment in time when all my dreams are a heart beat away, for all the answers are left up to me through you.”
Amen and amen.

Gift suggestion for the newborn
The website DirectInvesting.com has an interesting gift suggestion for the newborn. The site uses this example: buy one share of a stock at $54.05 (I know – an odd figure). Invest $25 per month for 64 years ($19,554.05). Total value at retirement, assuming a modest 10 percent average return rate, easily attainable (less than historical numbers), including dividends reinvested, you would have close to $2 million, possibly more. It comes out to $1,974,393.97. Not bad at all, and it can be done through systematic small (remember, only $25 per month) payments. This can give you around $2 million or more at retirement. Double it to $50 per month and you could have $4 million or more at age 65. Less than $1 per day can get you $2 million at retirement. Less than $1.70 per day should give you $4 million or more when you retire.
Compare this to the return from Social Security or cash value life insurance. Always remember these two words: opportunity cost. The investment account belongs completely to you and your heirs. Social Security disappears when you do.
In 2010, U.S. foreign aid payments were, as usual, wasteful and counterproductive, worse today. We gave China $27.2 million, India $126.6 million, Brazil $25 million and Russia $71.5 million, says the London Daily Mail (DailyMail.co.uk). Mexico received $316.7 million and Egypt $255.7 million. Nowhere in the U.S. Constitution is there any provision for foreign aid.
The Top 10 countries receiving the most aid from the USA (source:DailyMail.co.uk): #1 Colombia $461.2 million, Mexico $316.7 m, Egypt $255.7 m, Phillipines $128.2 m, India $126.6 m, Russia $71.5 m, China $27.2 m, Brazil $25 m, Thailand $16.75 m, Turkey $8.2 m.
The problem is worse today and it continues to grow. You’d think the new breed of Republican insurgents would fight this craziness but Senator Marco Rubio of Florida , elected in 2010, is a big believer in foreign aid. He said foreign aid was “cost effective.” He offers no proof of its effectiveness, of course. It’s costly and ineffective. Marco has turned out to be a big disappointment to many of us who believed him when he ran six years ago. Congressmen Ron Paul and Larry McDonald, both medical doctors, always voted no on all foreign aid. Ron Paul retired in 2012 and Larry McDonald was murdered by the Soviet Union in 1983. Remember?

I’d rather be stupid
California lawyer David Wohl, a Trump supporter, says Donald Trump is dissolving the two political parties, creating a big problem for Hillary Clinton. Many Democrats have re-registered as Republicans to vote for Trump in the primaries.
Have you noticed – Trump crowds at rallies are raucous but peaceful. Trump protesters are hateful, obnoxious, often violent. Many protestors are hired thugs, paid to disrupt the proceedings. Their thuggery could end up helping Trump. Which side do you prefer? Which side are the real extremists?
The theory now is that the Repubs are split into the Trump and Ryan wings. I’ll take the Trump wing, no contest there.
For those who thought otherwise, it was 5 1/2 years after leaving the White House that Ronald Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. I’ve had liberals snicker that maybe he had it while he was president. He passed a physical every year he was president at the Mayo Clinic.
There has been no military draft since 1973. Richard Nixon got rid of it. Of course we still have draft boards.
America First is a winning issue others have been afraid to mention until Donald Trump came along. Good for him. America First means no foreign aid, another winner. The party has been too dumb to fight against such hideous wasteful programs. Republicans are the Stupid Party! Democrats are the evil party. I’d rather be stupid.
Susan Sarandon surprisingly says she fears Hillary’s record on fracking and war more than Trump’s wall. Maybe she could lead other Hollywood leftists away from ultraliberal politicians and over to Trump.
“Let’s face it. Leftism is the political form of evil. And the left largely controls the modern West. Where, then, does that leave us all?”

Dear parents, guardians, visitors and guests,
We are excited to welcome you all to Dodge County High School’s graduation. Our school’s graduation is a time-honored tradition and we are very proud of the ceremony that our school holds. We, the Dodge County High School seniors, would like to ask the community including: parents, visitors and any special guests to please allow each graduate the opportunity to receive his or her diploma in a dignified manner. We respectfully request that there be no catcalls, outbursts, or yells from the crowd. A loud outburst for one graduate detracts form the next graduate. Also we ask that all guests turn their cell phones off and remain seated and quiet until the commencement exercises are complete. Movement detracts from our graduates and their recognitions. We seniors also request that our guests respect the formality of our special occasion and dress appropriately and accordingly. The seniors agree that anyone who violates these requests be asked to leave the stadium. We enlist your cooperation and support so that we will not have to ask you to leave the stadium. On behalf of the senior class the student council officers, we appreciate your help with these requests and are glad you have joined us in the class of 2016’s time of honor.
Thank you,

Dear editor,
I must say playwright and screenwriter (Rod Serling) himself couldn’t have written a better science fiction Twilight Zone episode than this drama fantasy that is playing out in American politics in this 21st Century. The script is nearly perfect in nuanced attention in pure stupidity, personal greed and agenda ideology of both republican and democrat voters in state, national, and presidential elections. More importantly, the president and commander in chief’s top job is now coming vacant for voters in just six months. The republican side had approximately 18 candidates from governors, congressional representatives, and one woman with a sublime pedigree in education. The democrat side had one senator (James Webb) from Virginia, who was a decorated war hero and former secretary of the navy with excellent moral behavior and quality character, the other two, is a doddering old fool socialist communist wanna bee 73 year old hippie (Berny Sanders), and the third is a former secretary of state (Hillary Clinton) who by all accounts now with multiple federal investigations is a serial liar, as of present, circumstantial evidence pointing to her as complicit in criminal money laundering in the Clinton foundation, and a traitor in Treason to the enemy of this country in email communications.
Finally, the fait-accompli weeding out the abundance of mentioned republican candidates, it has come down to Mr. Donald Trump who’s resume consist of being a reality TV host, a narcissistic loud mouth that routinely sits down with a vulgar mouth radio “DJ” (Howard Stern) and brags about his extra martial affairs with previous wives as if was a badge of honor! To think at one time, to run for the top office of the free world is now running for the bottom in human kind in execrable behavior and qualifications. I think the most perplexing and befuddling for me in the Trump supporters, is that this character, Donald Trump is on record in saying (“he detest, and does not like any military soldier, airman, sailor, or marine who gets captured by our enemy, and further, that these soldiers are stupid enough to get captured, you’re no hero in my book”) For you folks who are active duty military, former veterans, and retired military, families of military folks, for you to support this pompous ass in his dis-respect and demeaning our POW’s in his putrid rhetoric, you should be ashamed of yourselves, these POW’s were your brother and sisters who wore the same uniform that you did, and some gave the ultimate sacrifice, and this is the respect that you give them? Kind of makes me want to take a bath. I also find it very hypercritical of these Trumpsters who claim to be evangelical Christians and preachers are so silent now of Trump’s infidelities in marriage, but were hollering for then President Bill Clinton’s Impeachment in 1992 for the very same thing. Must be amnesia right? For all of you, who were caterwauling about “I’m going to take back my country back in morals this election”, give me a KING SIZE break!!

Curse of the General Lee
Remember the formerly great pro golfer Bubba Watson buying the legendary General Lee Dodge Charger of Dukes of Hazzard fame? The car had a Confederate flag painted on top and Bubba paid $110,000 for it. Bubba then decided to enter the political correctness appeasement no offense game and promptly painted over the iconic Southern flag, thus enacting the Curse of the General Lee. Bubba in years past won two Masters Tournaments but finished well back in the pack this year. The formerly dominant Bubba suddenly became an ordinary golfer after defacing the once impressive vehicle. Minus its distinguishing characteristics the car became just another blah looking Dodge, now unrecognizable as what it once was, sort of like Bubba’s recent golf game.
The Dukes of Hazzard series has disappeared from television and there is an active petition move underway to bring it back. Of course, the correctness freaks managing the networks are always running scared of the offense industry and are reluctant to reinstate the show.
The American people are stirring, thanks to Donald Trump. The political establishment hates him. Good for Donald.
The Border Patrol Union, with more than 16,000 members, has endorsed Trump for president.
“Dear Trump haters: The more you protest Trump the stronger he becomes.”

Illegal aliens = pre-Democrats.
Whites in Mississippi voted 89 percent for Mitt Romney in 2012. Whites in Vermont went only 33 percent for Mitt, points out the very astute John Derbyshire on VDARE.com. Back in 1984 white males in Mississippi voted 90 percent for Reagan, 10 percent for Mondale. Lead on, Mississippi. Southern savvy, we could say. VDARE.com predicted Donald Trump would run for president in April 2015, well before he declared his intention to run. [Full Story »]

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
I would like to clear up some confusion regarding non-partisan local elections.
Q: There has been some confusion around which offices are non-partisan and why. Can you elaborate on the bills you passed in 2014 to clarify voter concerns?
A: For a number of years I have heard many complaints from locally elected officials about having to run for office on a designated party ticket. I had also heard from many constituents who believed that certain offices should not be affiliated with a party. Their concerns are understandable as most locally elected offices actually have nothing to do with party politics, but it has always been set-up that way.
Q: What offices were people complaining about being party affiliated?
A: I had complaints in regards to ALL local races and quite frankly, I have to say I agree. The smaller communities in Georgia that are less populated should not put citizens in a position where they have to choose one friend over another because of party affiliation.
Q: What offices were you able to change to non-partisan at the local level with the legislation you passed in 2014?
A: I was able to pass what I legally could on my own through local legislation. The coroner, magistrate judge and probate judge are now non-partisan in Dodge County.
Q: Can Georgia change a rule that would make all local elections non-partisan?
A: My original intent for our district was to make ALL local elections non-partisan. However, when I got to Atlanta to submit legislation for non-partisan local elections, I discovered that most local officials are slated in the Georgia Constitution. That means the entire state would have to change to non-partisan local elections. Unfortunately, in order to get offices such as the Sheriff and Tax Commissioner to be non-partisan, it would take a 2/3 majority vote to change the state Constitution and that is hard to do. I did sponsor legislation to change these offices to non-partisan state wide, but unfortunately, it didn’t move forward.
Q: What does it mean for voters on primary election day?
A: Well the good news is that the coroner, magistrate judge and probate judge, will be on BOTH ballots, Democrat and Republican. The bad news is that the other local offices remain affiliated with a party, so in order to vote for your candidate of choice, you will have to pick whatever ballot they are on. I don’t agree with partisan politics on the local level at all. Citizens shouldn’t have to pick and choose who to vote for based off of party politics; they should be voting for whoever is best for the job. I will continue to fight for non-partisan elections on the local statewide elections, but I will need some help to ensure we get the support we need from the General Assembly.

In-state tuition for illegals?
R.I.P. Merle Haggard. Merle died on his 79th birthday, April 6, 2016.
More states grant in-state tuition to illegal immigrants, says VDARE.com writer Brenda Walker. New Jersey governor Chris Christie signed a law giving in-state tuition rates to illegals in January 2014. Conveniently, the U.S. big medialeft crowd began naming Christie the 2016 Republican frontrunner for president. He went the way of 2008 frontrunner Rudy Giuliani, who made no headway in 2008 and quickly dropped out after the Florida primary. As of early 2014, fifteen states were giving illegals the tuition advantage. Think about it – those here illegally are rewarded with price breaks at U.S. colleges over legal U.S. residents from taxpaying families.
“A government that invites the UN to oversee elections will never be serious about sealed borders.”

“The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants.”
Albert Camus (1913-1960) French Algerian author
Bumper sticker of the day: Get US out of UN.
“At what point did immigration trump over-population as the liberal cause de jour?”
Arizona politician Gabrielle “Gabby” Giffords’ gun control super PAC Americans for Responsible Solutions (ARS) raised nearly $12.5 million in 2013, says ConservativeByte.com, proving there is a market for anything.
“Giffords, and her husband Mark Kelly, plan to use the money to get pro-gun control advocates elected to Congress in November.”
ConservativeByte.com 2-2-14
Giffords claimed to be supportive of gun rights when she ran for Congress. So did B.H. Obama in 2008. Political promises should come with expiration dates. Both lied, of course. Anything for votes.

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
Eastman’s courthouse grounds are public properties’ these type of images are powerful, images shade our perceptions, code our implicit biases, and help us interpret the environment we live in 2016 after 151 years. The confederate flag (stars and bars) and monuments are powerful images. An image evokes different messages to different. In the wake of the massacre of 9 churchgoers murdered because they were black by a confederate flag wearing racist thug bent on a self-confessed mission of “starting a race war”, the chats of heritage or hate resound through the country. When does an image become so associated with a heinous act and actors that it loses any prior nobler relevance? We want to be clear. We do not believe that every American who has displayed the confederate flag endorses slavery as an economic and social order, treason as a solution, and bigotry as a value system. Yet, to many people of all hues and backgrounds; it now symbolizes America’s original sin. Although, there are sincere patriots reading this message who will continue to insist that the confederate flag is only a remembrance of valor of their ancestors. That may a truth to that particular individual. However, an honest person cannot deny the larger social implications and ugly connotations the flag and rebel imagery convey. Unfortunately for those who believe that flag represents something honorable it was your silence and not the NAACP’s very vocal opposition that brings us to this point in our history. Over the decades, the Confederate flag’s appropriation by traitors, Nazis, the Klan, and bigots has provoked very little noticeable protest from the honorable folks who claim a deep and abiding “respect” for Southern Heritage. We support this idea as long as this is not on public property; we salute everyone’s efforts to appreciate their heritage but only when it does not infringe on others rights. This flag was outlawed by Georgia citizens, therefore; it should be removed from public property immediately. We encourage our commissioners to act prayerfully, promptly and legally to this pressing concern. [Full Story »]

Vote early and often
The Republican Establishment’s message to Donald Trump: We know how to lose without you.
We keep hearing about the need for guest worker programs:
“How many times do I have to point out that we already have twenty-odd guest worker programs, and don’t need another one?”
John Derbyshire on VDARE.com 2-27-16
“Under the tyrannical, anti-American rule of Obama, illegal aliens are now more likely to win $150 million in the Power Ball lottery than facing deportation to their third world sewer of origin.”
John Lillpop VoiceOfLIllpop.blogspot.com
John Lillpop appears regularly on CanadaFreePress.com. The writers there are far better than most newspaper columnists.
It’s exhausting to read the lamestream nonsense dispensed by Kathleen Parker, George Will and other purported “conservatives.” George Will warned us in the 1970s that Ronald Reagan was unelectable. Will suggested liberal Republican Senator Howard Baker instead. There are many better writers around the Internet, which I try to point out in each column. Many of them never appear in newspapers. To me, most weekly papers are better than dailies.
Don’t forget – Senator John McPain (RINO – Arizona) said in 2000 that, “Hillary Clinton would be a great president.”
Unfortunately, only about 5 percent of Congress members since 1995 have lost their primary. The incumbent return rate remains high.
We need to reinvigorate the Republican Party with a conservative message; hard to do, says Laura Ingraham (LauraIngraham.com). If you are not listening to Laura Ingraham’s radio show, you’re missing a good one.

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
Must say that the new society and culture I now call The United States of America should appropriately be called The New Babylon today given the pure abject immorality and the ability to tell right from wrong has been lost much more in the United States. Just last year, the Supreme Court of the of the United States overstepped it’s authority and made the law instead of interpreting it. Today the perversion of Homosexual marriage is legal all over the country. The irony is, that the country voted against it (The Defense of Marriage Act). From my memory, Presidents both democrat (Clinton) and republican (Bush) signed executive orders supporting the marriage of one man, one woman. But then came this new president, an absolute heathen (Barrack Obama) claiming to be a Christian, but supporting homosexuality when clearly the Bible does not. Thus either our president is confused, intentionally sacrificed his morality for votes and his hidden agenda, or he is a closet homosexuality himself. I personally leaned to all the above.
Even our Creator, The Living God says that “you shall know them by their fruits” see Matthew 7:16-20.
Now even today, this president is siding more with the liberal left and speaking out against states that don’t support so called “transgender” people who seem to be confused with what sex they are and want to use what ever public restroom of their choice. Make no mistake about this, whether it be homosexuality, or some absolute degenerate who has a warp mind in seeing the opposite sex use the toilet. Both cases are behavioral turpitude in nature and is a complete disobedience of God›s word.
The disturbing part of this is, that a plurality of the American people and some pastoral ships are accepting of this debauchery and as past antiquity (Sodom and Gomorrah) they were judged by God and this country too will meet the same fate.
This country had every opportunity and ample qualified men and women to take back this country in 2012, and 2016, and we failed once again. I’m here to tell you that God doesn’t grade on the Bell Curve, and the Day of reckoning is fast approaching. But hey, Not to worry, you still get your FREE STUFF!
Now go pay homage to your gods (Obama and Hillary)
TSGT. Joseph Bryan, U.S.A.F. Ret

Support the party
Some Republicans claim they would not support Donald Trump, ever. Yet they expected us to vote for their picks of McCain, Dole and Romney, also Ford over Reagan in 1976. We were expected to support the party, but they believed in a one-way street for themselves. I was a Reagan volunteer in 1976 and was constantly told he couldn’t win by Ford people. And yes, I voted for Ford in the November election. Ford was a terrible candidate.
Watch out for DIE verse areas.
“In the end the GOP establishment is a lot like the Democrats. It’s all about power.”
Laura Ingraham
Carly Fiorina would’ve been better than Marco Rubio, says Laura Ingraham.
It’s now crunch time to show your political hand in the game. The lamestream media left is way behind such savvy websites as VDARE.com, CanadaFreePress.com, TheoSpark.net, DailyKenn.com, LewRockwell.com and a bunch of others. Now it should be: Never open borders, never foreign military adventurism, never trade deficits. Also how about never foreign aid – it’s unconstitutional.
All you need to know about Marco Rubio: he calls foreign aid “cost effective.”
At one time the U.S. Treasury borrowed money from J.C. Morgan Co. That was a while back.

The party of open borders
I’ve never seen a Democrat who supports term limits. Also none will support border control. Democrats are the party of open borders. The hapless Libertarian party is also on record as supporting open borders. Donald Trump has tapped into something huge and could ride it all the way to the top.
“Donald Trump may be flawed, but Washington is worse, on every front.”
Charles Hurt in Washington Times.com 3-20-16
As of March 21, John Kasich is 1 for 27 in the primaries and still dreams of winning the nomination. As of March 21 Ted Cruz is ahead of Trump in nine states. Kasich or anyone must win 8 states to have his/her name put into nomination at the convention.
Sean Hannity says he’s been to the Southern U.S. border at least 10 times. By using e-verify, illegals couldn’t get a job without proof of citizenship. Illegals pose a national security problem, an economic problem.
