Drudge Report calls the latest race-hate -hoaxer “The Wolf Who Cried MAGA” – outstanding line.
Virtue signaling elitism white guilt - They make the new system work.
Does anyone think Roger Stone can get a fair trial from an Obama-appointed judge?
California Congressman Dana Rohrabacher was in the House 30 years and lost in November amid some shady vote counting. Talk host Todd Starnes (ToddStarnes.com) says it was an inside hit job – Dana wasn’t “moderate” enough to suit the Republican in-crowd and liberals hated him. A caller named Alan in California said that was exactly what happened. Democrats in Cal. magically discovered some late ballots cast by Democrats (of course!) to obliterate the former Republican stronghold of Orange County, Ca. Other Republicans in the county were swept out with Congressman Rohrabacher by several Democrats running for the first time. You won’t see any of the mainstream media left check into this story. Lose by one vote and you lose.
Shouldn’t Andrew Gillum’s “Souls to the Polls” Florida political election events be condemned, as suggesting there was only one way to vote in the Florida governor’s race? Shouldn’t whites be allowed to become offended at such endeavors? Imagine a white-based call for bloc voting and the media outcry.
Tallahassee has had Florida’s highest crime rate of any Florida city for three years running. Andrew Gillum has been mayor there since 2014.
Berkshire Hathaway stock: Invest $1,000 and 50 years later you would have more than $12 million – nice return. I believe it includes reinvestment of dividends (always do so) but no additional investment after the initial thousand bucks. I don’t care for the old socialist Warren Buffett either but he knows how to invest. So do the folks at The Motley Fool (fool.com).

Letter to the editor
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!

Letter to the editor
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.

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.”
Jim Antle on TheAmericanConservative.com
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.”
Joseph Sobran 4-25-1998 Sobran.com
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.”
Fool.com 10-3-16
“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.”

Random thoughts
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 caravans are coming with no apparent end. “They’ve got their eye on whatcha got.”
Houston talk host Michael Berry
The groups are well-funded and organized, obviously. How about an investigation of the invaders and their handlers?
Former U.S. Attorney General Ed Meese says we need Constitutional fidelity on the Supreme Court.
Bumper sticker of the day: Just Visiting This Planet.
From TheoSpark.net: “REAGANOMICS Start a billion dollar business in your parents’ garage. OBAMAOMICS Live in your parent’s garage.
They yap about “White Privilege” at the Southern Poverty Law Center ($PLC), where they know nothing about poverty. At the $PLC the “11 highest paid employees are all white,” says Lew Rockwell on LewRockwell.com. Black American attorney Gloria Browne, who used to work at the $PLC, told the Montgomery Advertiser newspaper that the $PLC trades in “black pain and white guilt.”

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

Roger Stone overkill
I hate to see Laura Ingraham ending her radio show after 17 ½ years. She’s probably the best of all the talk hosts and I liked her radio show better than the television show. I get tired of all the liberals she kept inviting to the TV show. I made it a point to keep up with both when possible.
Home Depot stock, up and down but mostly up, was selling at 10.61 on Mar. 29, 1996, price adjusted for splits and after a big drop was 170.22 on Dec. 28, 2018, still up more than 16 times. Not long ago I remember it was 210 or so. I use this as an example of when I bought a house in increasingly diverse Gwinnett County, Ga. In March of 1996 (we’re still in it). People who tell you to pay extra on your mortgage might not be giving you the best advice – you can do better. Invest something every month in quality stocks, even $100 or so, was good advice from Lucien Hooper. That’s one difference between financial advisors Dave Ramsey and Ric Edelman. Take advantage of dips in the market. I say take the advice of Ric Edelman (RicEdelman.com). Dave Ramsey has some good ideas but he also tells you not to buy individual stocks. I think he’s way off on that one when he says buy only mutual funds. He’s a debt freak. Ric Edelman says get a long mortgage and never pay it off. I agree with that. A mortgage is the cheapest loan you can get. Always remember the two words opportunity cost. The lender cannot cancel your mortgage if you’re keeping up your payments. The law was different during the Depression. They could call your mortgage, giving you 120 days to pay it off completely and few could – a horrible outcome. Then it was wise to pay it off. Always check with your attorney on any of this. I hate car payments and drive old paid-for cars but have changed my views on mortgages over the years. I know a CPA who tells me to pay off the house first. He’s smarter than I am but I think he’s wrong on this. Most people pay off the mortgage. That doesn’t mean they are doing the right thing. Most voters in ’64 voted for the hideous LBJ. They definitely did the wrong thing. I’m glad I voted for Goldwater.
How could Stacey Abrams graduate from Yale Law School and still refer to the USA as a democracy?

Dear editor,
From growing up both in Eastman and Tampa, Florida, I have witnessed a deep chasm in the American people to including the American systems of our laws. Myself and so many other Americans see examples of tribalism in all the arenas of our society right now. The general public’s understanding of our systems of laws is at best minimal, to downright moronic.
In many ways it reflects the dissonance between my generation and this new demographics we call millennials now that are so dog gone stupid that a third of them couldn’t pass a simple civil service exam to get a job in city, state and federal level of employment.
Just for the fun of it, Google some silly a---” protest march on whatever the stupid protest is about, and observe the signs that the protesters are holding in misspelled words, this particular one got my attention: (Ferguson, Missouri riots three years ago. “Police Brutalty” “Hand up, dont shoots” or how about, and my favorite, “wear is my free stuf”)
Yes, history is never neat or linear. 20th Century was a time of American hegemony of pop culture around the world, chivalry in respect to women, ethos, norms and morals that existed then that now 21st Century has proven to be a period of dysfunction, discontent and a deep decline in moral behavior, openly homosexuality in marketing, military, and even our churches that has been foisted upon the American people. And yes, what group of folks are salivating like Pavlov’s Dog in this morass of quicksand to the abyss of hell. The democrat voting block. Pick your side America, God don’t send you to hell, you send your own self to hell. And for goodness sake, learn to spell when holding a goofy protest sign!

Roger Stone overkill
Former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio (remember Sheriff Joe?) commented on the heavy-handed pre-dawn FBI raid on Roger Stone (StoneZone.com) in Fort Lauderdale, Florida: “I’ve been busting down doors for 50 years, and I’ve never sent that many units, not even to the baddest murderers.”
Judge Jeanine Pirro on the overkill at Roger Stone’s Florida home: “This show was an attempt to embarrass and to intimidate Stone. He wasn’t a flight risk and he had no guns. His passport was expired, or just about to expire.
Mueller’s intent was to poison the jury pool to make Stone seem like public enemy No. 1, and his indictment is not even for a violent crime. It has nothing to do with Russia or collusion.”
Judge Jeanine Pirro in WesternJournal.com 1-29-19
Yet another reason to implement loser pays tort reform. Mueller and many previous vengeful prosecutors with agendas would be paying a fortune to their victims. Remember former Labor Secretary Ray Donovan and his famous reply when vindicated on phony bribery charges after spending millions to defend his name: “Where do I go to get my reputation back?”
How much did the showbiz militarized raid on Roger Stone cost American taxpayers? Don’t forget, they could’ve contacted him or his attorney and arranged a surrender. This was a political stunt by creepy Robert Mueller. Mrs. Stone’s deafness could’ve resulted in tragedy – failure to comply, didn’t understand the orders because of hearing impairment, you know the drill.
Usually the parting media take when a bogus case fails to convict is – he got off on a technicality. That’s how they excuse this travesty.
Completely outside the realm of moral thought – abortion rights, the “pro-choice” movement. Dennis Prager points out that one person solely decides this. “You can’t do anything you like with a child or a pet but you can with a fetus.”

Judge Jeanine Pirro on the overkill at Roger Stone’s Florida home: “This show was an attempt to embarrass and to intimidate Stone. He wasn’t a flight risk and he had no guns. His passport was expired, or just about to expire.
Mueller’s intent was to poison the jury pool to make Stone seem like public enemy No. 1, and his indictment is not even for a violent crime. It has nothing to do with Russia or collusion.”
Judge Jeanine Pirro in WesternJournal.com 1-29-19
Yet another reason to implement loser pays tort reform. Mueller and many previous vengeful prosecutors with agendas would be paying a fortune to their victims. Remember former Labor Secretary Ray Donovan and his famous reply when vindicated on phony bribery charges after spending millions to defend his name: “Where do I go to get my reputation back?”
How much did the showbiz militarized raid on Roger Stone cost American taxpayers? Don’t forget, they could’ve contacted him or his attorney and arranged a surrender. This was a political stunt by creepy Robert Mueller. Mrs. Stone’s deafness could’ve resulted in tragedy – failure to comply, didn’t understand the orders because of hearing impairment, you know the drill.
Usually the parting media take when a bogus case fails to convict is – he got off on a technicality. That’s how they excuse this travesty.
Completely outside the realm of moral thought – abortion rights, the “pro-choice” movement. Dennis Prager points out that one person solely decides this. “You can’t do anything you like with a child or a pet but you can with a fetus.”

A dangerous concept

Open Borders is a dangerous concept – look at the crimes committed by unvetted illegals, all considered pre-Democrats. That’s why the Demoleft welcomes them. Unfortunately, there is also a well-funded open borders wing of the Republican Party. The Libertarian-losertarian Party was pushing open borders years back, in the 1970s, probably does today, still stuck at around one or two percent of the vote every four years.

Tear down this wall!
Hideous Hillary Clinton says, “there’s no time to wait.” She refers to her push to get New York State to legalize abortion up to birth. Ross Perot probably agrees. He has donated generously to America’s largest abortion provider Planned Parenthood over the years, once donating a cool million dollars to PP.
Good for them: “95% of doctors in Ireland are refusing to kill babies in abortions.”
LifeNews.com
Americans for Tax Reform writer Alex Hendrie says the “Top 20% of households pay 88% of income tax.”
Today’s unemployment rate is the lowest since 1959.
We already have 600 miles of border wall. House Speaker San Fran Nan (cy) Pelosi says the proposed new border wall is immoral. Maybe she should introduce a bill to eliminate the 600 miles we already have in place. She should also remove the wall around her California mansion. San Fran Nan, tear down this wall! I wonder what Ronnie would think about all of this. The Trump wall would cost 1/10 of one percent of the national budget and would be cost effective in money and priceless lives saved.
Will the Democrats ever move leftward enough to turn off their diehard believers?
Just before the 2016 election, House Speaker RINO Paul Ryan warned Republicans running for reelection that the numbers were terrible, H.R. Clinton was running away with the election and the best strategy for Republicans was to run against Trump. Political “expert” George Will was spouting the same line. It was a rerun of the establishment vs. Ronald Reagan in the 1970s and early eighties. They don’t call Republicans the Stupid Party for nothing. The Stupid Party is still way ahead of the Evil Demo Party. Some Republicans are worth voting for. I can’t think of a Democrat since Larry McDonald and his widow Kathy McDonald that I’d vote for.
Workers in the private sector get laid off or fired at the rate of 1.5 million per month, nearly twice the number of federal workers being temporarily laid off once, numbering 800,000. The federal workers get back pay and their jobs back when the government shutdown ends. Most of the private sector workers do not have recall rights.

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
Happy birthday Robert E. Lee.
During a tour through the South in 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt told the aged Confederate veterans in Richmond, Virginia, “Here I greet you in the shadow of the statue of your commander, General Robert E. Lee. You and he left us memories which are part of the memories bequeathed to the entire nation by all the Americans who fought in the War Between the States.”
Saturday January 19, 2019, is the 212th birthday of Robert E. Lee.
Robert E. Lee, a man whose military tactics have been studied worldwide, was an American soldier, educator, christian gentlemen, husband and father.
Robert E. Lee was born at Stratford Hall, Westmoreland County, Virginia, on January 19, 1807. The winter was cold and fireplaces were little help. Robert’s mother, Ann Hill (Carter) Lee, was also suffering from a severe cold.
Robert E. Lee undoubtedly acquired his love of country from those who had lived during the American Revolution. His father, “Light Horse” Harry, was a hero of the revolution and served as governor of Virginia and as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Members of his family also signed the Declaration of Independence.
Lee was educated in the schools of Alexandria, Virginia. In 1825, he received an appointment to United States Military Academy at West Point. He graduated in 1829, second in his class and without a single demerit.
Robert E. Lee wed Mary Anna Randolph Custis in June 1831, two years after his graduation from West Point. Robert and Mary had grown up together. Mary was the daughter of George Washington Parke Custis, the grandson of Martha Washington and the adopted son of George Washington.
Mary was an only child; therefore, she inherited Arlington House, across the Potomac from Washington, where she and Robert raised seven children.
Army promotions were slow. In 1836, Lee was appointed to first lieutenant. In 1838, with the rank of captain, Lee fought valiantly in the War with Mexico and was wounded at the Battle of Chapultepec.
Lee was appointed superintendent of The United States Military Academy at West Point in 1852 and is considered one of the best superintendents in that institution’s history.
General Winfield Scott offered Robert E. Lee command of the Union Army in 1861, but he refused. He said, “I cannot raise my hand against my birthplace, my home, my children.”
Lee served as adviser to President Jefferson Davis, and then on June 1, 1862, commanded the legendary Army of Northern Virginia.
In 1865 General Robert E. Lee met General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox, Virginia, and ended their battles.
Lee was called Marse Robert, Uncle Robert and Marble Man. He was loved by the people of the South, and adopted by the folks from up North.
Robert E. Lee was a man of honor, proud of his name and heritage. After the War Between the States, he was offered $50,000 for the use of his name. His reply was: “Sirs, my name is the heritage of my parents. It is all I have and it is not for sale.”
In the autumn of 1865, Lee was offered and accepted the presidency of troubled Washington College in Lexington, Virginia. The school was renamed Washington and Lee in his honor.
Robert E. Lee died of a heart attack at 9:30 on the morning of October 12, 1870, at Washington-Lee College.
Sir Winston Churchill once remarked, “Lee was the noblest American who had ever lived and one of the greatest commanders known to the annals of war.”

I didn’t know this. Investor’s Business Daily (Investors.com) says Sweden and Norway have no minimum wage laws at all and Finland’s minimum wage is 83% below the current U.S. minimum.
“Sweden partially privatized its social security program in the mid – 1990s. Britain began partially privatizing its public pension program in the late 1950s. In both countries, workers can invest a portion of their payroll taxes in individual, private accounts.”

Actually, we tried to get something like this. Remember Steve Forbes? The D.C. political class ridiculed his perfectly sensible plan, since Forbes was an outsider and they always resist good ideas from outside the beltway, just as they rejected “upstarts” Goldwater, Reagan, Ron Paul, Trump and some other guys from flyover country. Forbes was stopped by Republican competitors running for president in 1996 and 2000. The competition had little to offer in the way of ideas and used scare tactics to end the Forbes challenge. Yes, I voted for Forbes. Those I just mentioned were “Borked.” Remember the great Judge Robert Bork? Remember Sam Nunn voting against Bork? He should be ashamed of that vote.
Like Reagan, Trump has only the people on his side.
Liberal Democrats love gated communities for themselves but not for us. They want open borders for the masses of legal citizens here, also strict gun laws to keep us from protecting ourselves.
On his first day in office, California Governor Gavin Newsome offered a new program that would make his state the only one to offer Medicaid coverage to “undocumented young adults,” as he called the illegal invaders. What’s next?
“Build the Welfare Wall Now” says Andrew Moran on LibertyNation.com.
“Democrats funded a 287 mile wall in Jordan – LAST YEAR! But won’t fund a border wall in US!”

Random Thoughts
I hate to see Laura Ingraham ending her radio show after 17 1/2 years. She’s probably the best of all the talk hosts and I liked her radio show better than the television show. I get tired of all the liberals she kept inviting to the TV show. I made it a point to keep up with both when possible.
Home Depot stock, up and down but mostly up, was selling at 10.61 on Mar. 29, 1996, price adjusted for splits and after a big drop was 170.22 on Dec. 28, 2018, still up more than 16 times. Not long ago I remember it was 210 or so. I use this as an example of when I bought a house in increasingly diverse Gwinnett County, Ga. In March of 1996 (we’re still in it). People who tell you to pay extra on your mortgage might not be giving you the best advice – you can do better. Invest something every month in quality stocks, even $100 or so, was good advice from Lucien Hooper. That’s one difference between financial advisors Dave Ramsey and Ric Edelman. Take advantage of dips in the market. I say take the advice of Ric Edelman (RicEdelman.com). Dave Ramsey has some good ideas but he also tells you not to buy individual stocks. I think he’s way off on that one when he says buy only mutual funds. He’s a debt freak. Ric Edelman says get a long mortgage and never pay it off. I agree with that. A mortgage is the cheapest loan you can get. Always remember the two words opportunity cost. The lender cannot cancel your mortgage if you’re keeping up your payments. The law was different during the Depression. They could call your mortgage, giving you 120 days to pay it off completely and few could – a horrible outcome. Then it was wise to pay it off. Always check with your attorney on any of this. I hate car payments and drive old paid-for cars but have changed my views on mortgages over the years. I know a CPA who tells me to pay off the house first. He’s smarter than I am but I think he’s wrong on this. Most people pay off the mortgage. That doesn’t mean they are doing the right thing. Most voters in ’64 voted for the hideous LBJ. They definitely did the wrong thing. I’m glad I voted for Goldwater.
