Dear editor,
Recently on September 25, our junior class writing skills were assessed in the Georgia High School Writing Test, determining whether we receive diplomas. We would like to thank the Dodge County Pre-K students and teachers who took time to send a very uplifting and inspirational message, personal drawings and wonderful snacks. These acts of kindness and encouragement helped to motivate and inspire us to do well and to hopefully be good examples for them.

In his instantly notorious New York Times op-ed, Vladimir Putin was much too modest. At the end, he argued no country is truly exceptional. He, of all people, shouldn’t be so dismissive. Russian exceptionalism is one of the profoundest forces in world history. [Full Story »]

Let’s hear it for Chicago, America’s gun control capital, also the murder capital of the USA. Runner-up is New York City, stringent gun control laws accompanied by the nation’s second-highest murder rate. We must find a way to make these murderers comply with our gun control laws. The ratings came from the FBI, not a gun rights group. As Rico on TheoSpark.net reminds us, “’Gun free’ does NOT mean ‘murder free.’” [Full Story »]

Dear editor,
Thank you for sending me the article and the pictures; they were very professionally done and appreciated by the Ronald McDonald House (RMH) and us.

Dear editor,
In June the Supreme Court struck down a key component of the 1965 Voting Rights Act in a five to four vote. President Lyndon Johnson signed the 1965 act into law. The act was enacted to combat common practices at the time like voting literacy tests and poll taxes. The court’s decision effectively removed the restraints on nine states, mostly in the south, from having to secure advance federal approval when making certain voting related decisions. Georgia is one of the nine states that had seen immediate reactions to the ruling. The City of Eastman has also seen immediate action. [Full Story »]

Out with the old

This week I said goodbye to an old friend and our parting was bittersweet. We’d spent nearly every day together for more than seven years. Lately, however, he just hadn’t been reliable. It was getting so I couldn’t count on him to be there when I needed him the most. In my heart, I knew I should move on, but for the last few months I’d been putting off the inevitable. Change can be difficult especially when there’s so much history involved. Seven years is a long time – for sure more than six. [Full Story »]

Dear editor,
How long are we going to allow our president and his democratic party lie to us?

Everyone is scared to death to call the president a liar, even the media is scared to fact check him for fear they will be labeled as a racist, so we allow obama to continually lie to us, finally someone had the guts to call him a jackass. No it was no one in the USA for they are too scared, it happen to be Putin, the Russian President, had the nerve to call him a jackass, and obama walked out. [Full Story »]

Dear editor,

“Faith without works” James 2:14-26

It is written that faith alone will not provide the things you covet. You must strive with faith in your heart to achieve these goals. After spending a meaningless five minutes before the Board of Education (BOE), it was confirmed that their self declared goal is “to give our children the best education they can give them.” Their behavior however, declares something else. Their behavior appears to be more in the form of faith unaccompanied by works. [Full Story »]

There are certain dates that stick in our memories. September 11, 2001 is one for most of us. This week, we relived that moment in time, as people tend to do on anniversary dates both celebratory and somber. [Full Story »]

Dear editor,
With the country on the precipice of inserting itself in a sectarian civil war in another part of the globe that we absolutely have no interest in and NO imminent threat, (the Syrian government) as directed by our president (Barrack Obama) to show the world that he can put on his “BIG BOY” pants and flex his muscles on an issue that might not be there in the first place. Did the Syrian president (Assad) use a chemical agent to kill his own people or did the so-called freedom rebel fighters do it? There is no definitive proof yet. [Full Story »]
