If I could be Arizona’s governor and pick John McCain’s successor today I’d pick Dr. Kelli Ward. I heard Mark Davis, conservative Dallas talk host, subbing for Larry Elder going through a list of possible Arizona names today (August 27) and I did not hear Kelli Ward’s name. She ran against McCain in the 2016 Republican Primary and lost to McCain. Bad move, Arizona.
Where was the press when World War II hero, Marine pilot Joe Foss died on January 1, 2003? It went unmentioned. The Atlanta newspaper did not have a word about him. Look him up on the Internet. Joe Foss was a great American and a nice, modest guy. He had an amazing life story. He deserved better.
Amnesty in 1986 and 1996 did not have border security included. Since then it’s been a disaster. We don’t need to be the world’s flophouse.

Dear editor,
In reference to the Dodge County newspaper, which was published on August 15, 2018 issue about a t-shirt controversy to be used as a fundraising activity were good, but not with the language used to raise funds.
We have a student handbook that informs our students and parents on what should happen if they break one of these policies or rules such as: praying in school, saying bless you Jesus, kneeling in the classroom to pray, no gold teeth, no t-shirts with vulgar or suggestive advertisements or any inflammatory, suggestive or racial inappropriate writing period.
No, we do not kneel at the cross in school. Do we know which school religion requires you to kneel at the cross? It is their right we cannot kneel at school to pray, we cannot repeat the Lord’s prayer in school and so Dodge County students at any school or school activity should not wear this t-shirt. We should be showing pride with love, without starting division among our students and our community.
Pride with love, not all about money. It is how we do things. We must think things through before we act. With all the negativism around our school we need to come together as God people and do what is right for our children. Pray for all of our children, leaders, schools, local government and ourselves as well.
Do we know what the rules in the student school handbook say? If we do not know maybe we have people working in the wrong place. If we are not going to enforce all the rules in the handbook why have a student handbook? It appears we want to pick and choose the rules we want to follow.
We as parents, grandparents, guardians and taxpayers expect the board of education to hold all employees of the Dodge County school system responsible to do the right thing for our children. If the board is hiring people who cannot do the job it is time we make changes best for our students. We know that time is changing, but it should be changing for the better.
We have read this issue over and over, but nowhere in this article does it say anything about educating our children and grandchildren in a safe environment. We should think about the future, safety and education of our children and not doing things to separate them.
We must have compassion for all students and staff. We as citizens must pray for our school system and be sincere and mean it from our heart, not just your lip service or for show.

Happy Birthday to Dr. Ron Paul, born August 20, 1935. Dr. Paul, now retired, was America’s low overhead Congressman, the best of the bunch. He does not draw a Congressional pension, even though he deserves one more than any politician in the USA.
Any Communists out there? You might enjoy reading CPUSA.org. They now tell voters to vote Democrat – no kidding. The Commies stopped running their own presidential candidate.
Look for the Demoleft to attempt to “bork” Judge Cavanaugh. Judge Robert Bork would’ve made a great Supreme Court Justice but “conservative” Sam Nunn and his cohorts voted him down. Anyone recall the people calling him “Panama Sam” after he voted for the Panama Canal giveaway? Those two votes should’ve been a career ender.

Nobody saves more lives on the Southwest U.S. border than the U.S. Border Patrol, very humane people. Many illegals would die of thirst without the help of Border Agents. Local residents have helped the unprepared illegals with food and water instead of watching them die in desolate border areas. Sometimes illegals kill their benefactors. Are the invaders real families or phony families put together from south of the border to gain quick entry to the USA? Democrats want them here, including criminals, as they pander for votes. Criminal illegals are pre-Democrats also if they bother to vote at all. U.S. elites of both parties love immigrants and illegal immigration. How will we know when we have imported a sufficient number of illegals? We won’t.
Liberals continue to whine about “separated” families at the border, their current narrative.
Hard to believe a giant corporation can produce good growth numbers but Wal-Mart stock jumped nearly 10 percent in one day early last week, a spectacular feat. [Full Story »]

Dear editor,
Against my better judgment, I am writing to address the Great Tee Shirt Debate going on in Dodge County. Like most people involved, I have an opinion about the shirt. However, I choose not to voice that opinion in your newspaper. Someone once said: “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.” Someone else said: “Opinions are like [insert body part of your choosing]; everyone has one.” These statements are both true. However, greater than opinions are the core beliefs that are deeply engrained in us. They may have been taught to us by our parents. They may have been imparted to us by the Spirit of the Living God coming to dwell within us. They may be a result of the unique human experiences that each of us had growing up, our race, our religion, our socioeconomic status. They may be the result of the selfish human nature with which we were all born. They may be the result of basic standards of human decency that most of us possess. These beliefs are part of what makes us all different from one another. You will not change my core beliefs. I will not change your core beliefs. Only God can do that for a person. And while some of these core beliefs are absolutes worth staking our lives on, others are mere personal preferences that matter not in the grand scheme of things.
As I see it, our country is divided like we have not witnessed since the Civil War. From Washington, D.C. to Atlanta to Dodge County. We focus so much on the things that divide us from one another. Those in government have an agenda, which is to defeat their opponent at any cost. The ends justify the means. Their supporters fall right in line behind them. Tune in to CNN or Fox News depending on which way you lean and see the other side trashed. Meanwhile the people suffer. Lincoln was correct when echoing the words of Christ Himself in the Gospels that a house divided against itself cannot stand.
And like everything else, it eventually trickles down to Dodge County. We have poverty. We have fatherless children and struggling single mothers. We have a drug epidemic. We have numerous murders over the last few years. Our jails are filling. Our churches are closing. We wonder when we hear about the next mass shooting if it could happen here. We finally have industries in town looking for skilled workers, and we have a shortage of those. There are so many problems that we should be focused on solving, and yet we are focused on a tee shirt. On the one side, you have those who want to talk about bending a knee at the Cross-when the fact is the majority have not told anyone about Jesus in years and may not even know Him. On the other side, you have those on a crusade against everything Godly paired up with those who are just looking to be offended by something.

Kelli Ward, D.O., running for the U.S. Senate to succeed retiring RINO Jeff Flake, says Senator Mitch McConnell should end the Senate filibuster rule and build the border wall. Dr. Ward appeared on Fox Business News and said “McConnell should end the filibuster rule and build the wall – or resign. Good for her. She has been endorsed by Senator Rand Paul and a bunch of other impressive conservatives. Arizona deserves better than the two Republican “moderates” now mis-serving the state. She would be an outstanding U.S. Senator. Go Kelli Ward! KelliWard.com – please check her out.

Dear editor,
Failure of this nation begin with the young generation. Their first school is no longer an institution of morality.
Americans have turn away from the words of our creator. A home with biological parents has become a thing of the past. Public schools have made a change from the belief of the founding fathers. America has turn in another direction from its beginning.
This nation is crying without tears. What the founding fathers believe has become obsolete. President George Washington stated two things that will make politic work are religion and morality. In main students was required to take a test twice a year on the constitution, declaration of independent, first prayer in congressand Washington Farwell Address.
Washington gave twelve warnings that America must do to keep America on track. All have been brought back accept the four religious warnings.
President Woodrow Wilson stated that any nation that doesn’t remember who she was yesterday will not know who she is today in what she is seeking to do. America has become so good in compromising that she is accepting wrong over right, punishing the richious.
Today’s politicians will say or do anything just to get into office. There was a time when one had to swear they believe in God before they could run for public office. God is not on the side of the republicans or democrats but the side of right. America must live through all the times; we are wrapped in a single garment of togetherness, we all can live as friends or die as fools through suicide.
In 1961, the supreme court rule that students could not pray in classroom unless they did it quietly without moving their lips. We pledge allegiance to the American flag while ignoring the pledge to the Christian flag and the Holy Bible.
America must realize that freedom is not free and is not worth having if we don’t have the freedom to make mistakes. Freedom is costly and the price can be found in the graves.
This nation seems to have forgotten that God’s justice will not sleep forever. Any nation that is not punished in this world will be punished in the next.
For sure there will come a day when night will never come again.

Gotta watch that number 13, don’t we.
Another bad prediction was made by 11Alive.com, known locally as 11 Dead or Alive in Atlanta. The folks there had a poll saying the Georgia governor’s Republican runoff was a dead heat with Lt. Governor Casey Cagle one point ahead on June 29. Less than a month later the county vote went 2 counties for Casey Cagle, 157 for Brian Kemp. The survey supposedly called 812 likely Republican voters, by polling company Cygnal, an Alabama-based national firm. Cygnal apparently got its signals crossed.

Dear editor,
Well, the dogs bark and the caravan moves on with the alphabet soup media creating in my opinion a double standard of that treasonous buffoon former president Obama vs. our current president Donald Trump.
The political bias of the establishment media has never been more outrageous than what we see in the press’s double standards for covering President Donald Trump. For contrast that what I’ve witnessed.
Compare Trump’s treatment to the press’s idolatrous treatment of President Obama.
The media’s fan base club attitude toward Obama was unprecedented in modern era. Not even my favorite while in high-school at Dodge County H.S. the war hero Jack Kennedy got the kids-glove treatment that Obama got. That former occupier Obama of the White house as I defined it, in his frequent goofy statement and embarrassing gaffes were either overlooked entirely or treated as amusing sidebars.
Examples that come to my memory:
Obama claimed “that Americans liberated Auschwitz and Treblinka”. No, they did not.
Obama said “That the world came together to save Berlin during the airlift”. No, they didn’t; it was mostly an American and British effort, with Mexico, Italy and Egypt being conspicuously absent.
Obama claimed “That as a result of the Selma march, he was born”. Obama was born four years before the Selma march.
Such historical ignorance and efforts at asides were a regular feature of his speeches and interviews at home and abroad. And yet, the media did not tarnish his reputation while he was the occupier of the oval office.
Here are my favorites: Obama said that, “we’re the country that built the intercontinental railroad”. Hey guess what smartest man ever to be president. No it wasn’t! It was the Trans continental railroad, (and it did not) and still does not connect us to South America. And how about Obama mispronounced navy “Corpsman” as “Corps-Man”
My memory is working overtime of this pure idiot. Obama giving a speech on Memorial Day, when he said “Our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes, and I see them now in our audience here today” I guess a miraculous raising of the dead came about that day then.
Oh! How about when he said, “I been to all 57 states now, with one left to go” in his campaign speech. And you democrats still idolize this moron as the smartest man ever to hold office.
Now compare the worshipful treatment of Obama to what President Trump has experienced since winning the election almost two years ago.
Come on, really! Even this hay seed hick from Dodge County can do the simple math. It’s not even simple civics 101, it’s part of a political strategy to demonize and de-legitimize the entire Trump program.
The best part is, the American public is not as stupid as you think we are. Trump will be here for a full eight years and the Pence will step up and give the final blow to you Liberals.

Well, the dogs bark and the caravan moves on with the alphabet soup media creating in my opinion a double standard of that treasonous buffoon former president Obama vs. our current president Donald Trump.
The political bias of the establishment media has never been more outrageous than what we see in the press’s double standards for covering President Donald Trump. For contrast that what I’ve witnessed.
Compare Trump’s treatment to the press’s idolatrous treatment of President Obama.
The media’s fan base club attitude toward Obama was unprecedented in modern era. Not even my favorite while in high-school at Dodge County H.S. the war hero Jack Kennedy got the kids-glove treatment that Obama got. That former occupier Obama of the White house as I defined it, in his frequent goofy statement and embarrassing gaffes were either overlooked entirely or treated as amusing sidebars.
Examples that come to my memory:
Obama claimed “that Americans liberated Auschwitz and Treblinka”. No, they did not.
Obama said “That the world came together to save Berlin during the airlift”. No, they didn’t; it was mostly an American and British effort, with Mexico, Italy and Egypt being conspicuously absent.
Obama claimed “That as a result of the Selma march, he was born”. Obama was born four years before the Selma march.

Random thoughts
Hate speech is always acceptable if you’re doing it on behalf of the medialeft. President Trump has the left screaming in pain – good for us.
Some people who sort of like Trump or like him a lot don’t like his style, also hesitate to be for him publicly, not a popular way to appear. It’s fashionable to be against him. You could open yourself to violent attack by wearing a Trump cap or t-shirt.
There is a declining quality of life in California. The state is horribly managed by governor-for-life Jerry Brown and other perpetual politicians. I’ve never seen a Democrat endorse term limits – have you? There are more registered independents than Republicans in California.
“I’m in the one percent. I’m proud to be in the one percent. I came up from the 99 percent.”
Ken Langone Home Depot co-founder
Ken Langone is my kind of rich guy. He worked his way through college and is the son of a plumber. Yes, Ken is also skilled at plumbing and has done a lot of good for many people – a very generous man.
Ken Langone said in 2012 that B.H. Obama was an ideologue, who if reelected, would have nothing motivating him to work with the opposition. You can see his prediction came true.
“The Mueller Investigation: Taxpayer funded opposition research for 2020.”
TheoSpark.net writer Daniel Thomas
Robert Mueller looks like a creepy character from an old movie, slinking about, never speaking on camera. I’ve never heard him say anything or submit to any questioning. He could’ve been sent from an old Charlie Chan movie. Remember those? He is a silent movie character.

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
The Georgia Legislature conducted the annual assault on Georgia taxpayers on schedule this year. Because this is an election year, there were few delays in completing the assault so that campaigning could get underway quickly. As usual there were surprises in store for the hardworking Georgians they claim to care about. One is coming as a result of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that will allow states to collect taxes on sales made by companies with no physical presence in Georgia. Remote Sellers is the term used by the assaulting powers to be in Atlanta.
The SCOTUS (Supreme Court), perhaps realizing the desire for state governments to extract more money from taxpayers, approved the new taxing authority. This approval is another example of the overreach of the court. Prior to this vote the SCOTUS had ruled that state sales taxes were not federal business. I encourage you to read the information on this website: https://taxfoundation.org/potential-outcomes-wayfair-online-sales-tax-case/.
In my opinion, something changed and only by ignoring the Constitution could our SCOTUS approve such a tax. Do you think it could have had something to do with two appointees by the last federal administration who seem to lean toward making laws instead of interpreting them?
Anticipating a new SCOTUS ruling in favor of the states, Georgia House Bill 61 was introduced with five co-sponsors: Powell, District 171 (S.W.), England-116 (N.), Meadows-5 (N.E.), Abrams-89 (N.) and Kelley of District 16 (N.W.) Notice where these districts are located. More tax money for the Northern State of Atlanta. I encourage everyone to look up Georgia HB 61 on the internet to find out what you will be seeing starting 01 Jan. 2019: http://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/en-US/Display/20172018/HB/61.
Scroll down to the bottom and click on “Current Version”.
Right after the SCOTUS ruled in favor of the state internet collection of sales tax, HB 61 was voted on and passed. The bill requires a 4% sales tax on items sold to Georgians via the internet if the company doing the selling meets certain requirements.
The final House vote in Atlanta was overwhelmingly approved by a hundred fifty-seven yeas to eleven nays. Five legislators didn’t cast a vote at all. State Representatives approved HB 61 and it was sent to Gov. “Cash” Deal for his signature. Deal did his part on 03 MAY 2018. The new tax is effective 01 JAN 2019. Remote sellers may collect the tax or they can put that responsibility on individuals who make internet purchases. There are options intended to have the remote seller collect the tax but taxes not collected by sellers will have to be paid by purchasers who will have additional tax forms to contend with when paying these taxes.
It is bothersome in this campaign season to listen to candidates tell us they seek office on behalf of ‘hardworking Georgians’ or that the special interests will not be allowed to influence their decisions. If candidates were truly doing something for Georgians, taxes would be reduced. State spending would lessen and people would be allowed to keep more of their money.
There is no bigger special interest group than elected officials. Most of us have to live within our means by spending less, buying cheaper stuff or a dozen other things because of our lack of financial means. Some of us wonder why government always gets the money it wants.
Claims by politicians to be working for the people seems more and more to not be the case. Politicians work for their political party, other special interests and themselves. Voters continue to be fooled by what is said rather than what is done and with the candidates in the upcoming elections, it seems nothing will be changing in favor of the tax paying citizens in our state.
Those who approved the tax will likely be reelected and to me it seems this is another example of us doing the same thing and expecting different results. Ain’t gonna happen! Just my opinion from an old man out here in the woods. Wake up Georgia!

Be careful out there
I live near the Ronald Reagan Parkway in Gwinnett County (yes, I drive in the right lane on Ronnie’s Parkway) and the speed limit is 50, nice straight road, probably should be 65 or 70, cars fly right past me and I cringe. It’s now a bigtime speed trap and I saw six police cars stopped in a line near the Lawrenceville Highway exit with blue lights flashing last Saturday morning writing tickets to six stopped cars, so be careful out there. I’d never seen anything like this and I’m an old guy. SpeedTrap.org – a good site, covers the USA and Canada. I don’t think Ronnie would approve of this sleazy activity by government vultures on his namesake road.
Delusional leftwing actor Robert DeNiro has flipped his lid. “Trump has clearly driven him insane”, says the great writer Wayne Allyn Root on ROOTforAmerica.com. Just as with Reagan, the better he does, the more the left hates him.
Elizabeth Warren, Nancy Pelosi, Alvin Greene (D- South Carolina - remember him?) are three of my favorite Demoleftists. Where do they find these nitwit losers? All three are almost as dumb as U.S. Sen. Patty Murray (D-Washington). Liberals will vote for anyone.
Some people you can’t do enough for. A small town in Ireland, Lisdoonvarna, population 300, has been forced to take in 115 Third World refugees. Check it out on BlazingCatFur.ca. This was March 2018. The town took a vote and it was 93 percent opposed to the plan. Only 93 percent? It was 197 locals voting against the plan, 15 in favor of same. It would have created an instant 38 percent population increase. That’s a percentage even higher than on our porous U.S. borders. Maybe they should sent these folks to Oakland, California instead.
News the media never bothers to mention: George Bush 1’s favorite charity is/was the United Negro College Fund (UNCF). George B. has contributed generously over the years with no publicity, no apparent appreciation from those he helped. Maybe they don’t realize it themselves. I can’t find the dollar amounts. Ronald Reagan was a generous person, too, often reading letters from desperate people seeking some kind of government aid to get on their feet financially. They would write to the president and he would respond. He would send them $5,000 or so out of his pocket, people he’d never seen before, with no fanfare, a generous man helping the less fortunate. Naturally the media hated him and claimed he was out of touch – not so.
