Dear editor,
What has the left though about? Have they thought about how to take care of all of the immigrants if they take back congress? They could print more food stamps. They could issue more phones. They could find out where the people in caravans found all of those clothes. They don’t look as if they got them at Goodwill.
We could not build enough houses or trailers to accommodate them. We would never think to put them up in tents as the former sheriff in Arizona had done. Not after the way they criticized him and wanted him to release them. They could pass a law requiring people who have government backed mortgages to share a living space with them. As former President Barack Obama said, you didn’t get anything by yourself.
Look at all the benefits. The elderly could have someone to look after him or her. The unwed mothers could have free child-care. Congress would be exempt because people like Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi with their four million dollar plus homes could not afford to lose any space in their homes. Senator Finestein could have her Chinese chauffeur drive illegals to the poles. We could be looking at air pollution if the left takes back congress. We could demand that factories be sent back to other countries that have continued to pollute the air and were never criticized by Al Gore or any other liberal. Al Gore’s home uses more energy than most small towns. He and the Clintons show up when they get something for free or if they are getting paid. They never had a real job outside of the government, yet they are tarnished like a penny. They keep showing up. Even a good bit of the left is asking them to go away and take Joe Biden and Bernie with them.
Let “Crying Schumer” cry for all those kids who came here illegally. He thinks we need them for population growth, yet he continues to add to the 60 million who have been aborted.
Please go vote and stop the caravan.

Opinions
Don’t forget to vote
Don’t forget to vote: Republicans vote Tuesday Nov. 6, Democrats Wed. Nov. 7.
The D.C swamp is afraid of what Donald Trump is doing, says Corey Lewandowski, former Trump campaign manager.
“Far-right to rally in Berkeley after Coulter talk cancelled”, reads the AP (Agenda Press) headline. How about Berkeley’s left wing – anything wrong saying that? Seldom do we hear “far left” from the media left.
You can look it up: America’s richest zip codes are heavily Democrat areas.
The fake bomb hoax is coming unraveled. The contents of packages sent through the mail to Demoleft bigwigs couldn’t hurt a fly. Canada Free Press skeptic Judi McLeod, a savvy conservative who runs the site, has a great column on the case: CanadaFreePress.com. All should read it. There are many good writers at CFP who aren’t published elsewhere, and some who are. This is one of the best sites anywhere.
“Fans hate ESPN – can’t stand its leftism.”
Lew Rockwell on LewRockwell.com
“Not building the wall IS a government shutdown.”
Ann Coulter column on VDare.com 4-26-17
Ann Coulter is gutsy and always a great read. America needs more gutsy writers and fewer pretend conservatives such as George Will and Kathleen Parker.
You could see it from the circus surrounding the Judge Brett Kavanaugh hearings: “There are no moral borders for the left.”
Dennis Prager 9-25-18
Gun control support could’ve been Al Gore’s undoing as he lost West Virginia in 2000. The Mountain State turned against Gore probably because of his enthusiasm for gun control and you could add in his opposition to the coal industry. West Virginia has been dependably Republican ever since. Its mere five electoral votes in 2000 would’ve sent Gore to the White House over George W. Bush. Seldom was it mentioned in the media. The election was very close nationally but not close at all in West Virginia. The state had been considered a lock to go Democrat once again in 2000 and Gore never set foot in West Virginia. Deceitful Obama probably noticed eight years later and claimed to be a supporter of gun rights, despite a history of voting for gun control legislation. Obama told Joe the Plumber “I’m not a gun grabber” on the 2008 campaign trail. Big media was in Obama’s hip pocket and never pointed out his duplicity. At least Al Gore was truthful on this issue. America should thank West Virginia for saving us from Al Gore.

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
To the voters of Dodge County: Are you registered to vote? This election is extremely important, more so than any others in the past. In the 2012 election there were 90 million Christians registered to vote. Twenty-five million Christians didn’t vote. Obama won.
There are 15 to 20 million Christians not registered to vote. We have 70 thousand elections across the United States, from school boards to cities and states. If you say, “I don’t like this person” or “My vote won’t count”, your vote does count. How can we defeat evil unless we make our voices heard? Our vote allows our voices to be heard.
When you don’t vote, you are helping the other side. Our votes as Christians should support life, liberty and support of Israel. Make your vote count. Go out and vote. Early voting is happening now. Visit myfaithvotes.org to learn more.
P.S. We voted today. Have you?
In Christ,
Judy Allen

1% Joe
Jiggy Smaha, Rest In Peace.
Donald Trump on Joe Biden: “We call him 1% Joe.” Good name! We could also call him former vice plagiarist of the USA. One percent was Joe’s share of the vote in the 2008 primaries. He ran in 1988 until his plagiarism caught up with him and 20 years later he gave it another shot, losing to Obama in the 2008 Demoleft primaries. In the 2008 run Biden told an interviewer that Obama was not qualified to be president. I agree with Joe on that. All was forgiven when Barack and Joe teamed up to beat the inept John McCain in November. Be careful how you vote or you could be stuck with a big loser like Biden for years to come. He first entered the D.C. swamp in 1973, over 25 years back and liked it. He wants to go back.
Joe Biden called Trump supporters “the dregs of society.” He must be trying to hurt our feelings.
“Democrats produce mobs, Republicans produce jobs.”
Donald Trump
Now the leftist speech police claim the word “mob” is a racist dog whistle. Writer Jesse Kelly calls it “the let-wing rage mob.”
Liberal columnist Jennifer Rubin is hyped as a conservative by the Washington P- - - newsrag. The P- - - laughably claims Ms. Rubin is a balance to their liberal lineup.
A new legal concept at work – Judge Brett Kavanaugh has to prove his innocence but his guilt doesn’t have to be established. It is a given if his accusers charge it.
“The fact that somebody can study for a degree in ‘Gender Studies‘ is striking proof that Cultural Marxists are holding Western universities by the throat.”

Andrew Gillum, Tallahassee, Florida mayor and Demo socialist running for governor of Florida, says he appreciates George Soros and Tom Steyer, billionaire left-wingers, who helped him win the Democrat nomination. He also claims his campaign was driven by small donations from “everyday folks.” Soros and Steyer are committed socialists.
Who was the big loser in the Florida Democrat Primary for governor? Phillip Levine, former Miami Beach mayor, spent $29 million from his own pocket and finished third behind Gillum and runner-up Gwen Graham, daughter of Bob Graham, former Senator and governor. [Full Story »]

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
I’m seeking the descendants of Sam Davis. He was the driver for President Jefferson Davis before, during and after the civil war. When President Davis was fleeing Richmond in 1865, he came through Laurens, Pulaski (now Dodge) and Wilcox County. He was captured in Irwin County. His driver was Sam Davis who was one of President Davis’ slaves.
Sam Davis returned to Laurens County after the war and married a young woman he met while driving. They married and raised a family. Somewhere around twenty years later, they moved to Dodge County. There is a photo of him standing by a marker that showed where President Davis camped while in Pulaski (now Dodge) in the first history of Dodge County.

Plummeting civility

Regarding Judge Brett Kavanaugh, now Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh (great!) – notice how many liberals fell for the scam. This lady knows better and sums it up well:
“No one who has known him since he since he became an adult has accused him of improprieties, and no one except Senate Democrats has accused him of being an alcoholic.”
Jo Anne Skousen on LibertyUnbound.com 10-3-18
“Plummeting civility,” Laura Ingraham calls it.
All 25 judges on the Trump Supreme Court list were rock-solid conservatives. No wonder President Trump is vehemently hated by the leftstream press. Neither Clinton nor B.H. Obama would ever appoint a conservative to anything.
Who’s next up for Supreme Court consideration? Many say Amy Barrett, nominated to federal courts by Donald Trump. She is a member of the Federalist Society, taught at Notre Dame Law School and is only age 45. You’ll notice frequent mention that these are lifetime appointments by opponents when a conservative is in the White House, but it is seldom mentioned by the press when it is a liberal president making the appointments.
As savvy conservative commentator-rocker Kid Rock, a big Trump supporter says, “Let the business guy run the country like a business.”
“If fascism ever comes to America, it will come under liberalism.”
Ronald Reagan
WorldNetDaily.com says “Anchor Babies” cost taxpayers $2.4 billion annually. That’s $2,400,000,000, big bucks. You could spend $1,000 per day every day for 2,000 years and you’d still be well short of $1 billion spent. You’d have spent “only” $730 million, or $730,000,000, 73% of a billion dollars.

Dear editor,
I want to comment on the board notes in the paper concerning the Golf Course Road.
Once past the golf course, this road is barely used. Very low traffic and leads to nowhere. There is only the one rough spot that has always been there since this road was dirt. At this spot there are trees growing on the right-of-way next to the pavement and vehicles parked on the right-of-way.
There are other roads where tree planting and objects are being placed on the county right-of-way Maybe those violations should be cleared up before someone strikes them with a vehicle. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen. There are high-traffic streets such as 14th Ave. that are in the condition of goat trails. These streets should be receiving attention.

Dear editor,
When it comes to children, they are not like a miss sent letter is, “Return To Sender”. Children are a gift from God and the way we can “Return To Sender” is to train up children in the way of the Lord.
Parents, as well as those in authority, are turning to the ways of the world. Some compromise may be accepted, but it is just a little short of what is the truth. Although it continues to become a thing of the past, God created marriage between a man and a woman with however many children may be added to that union. Although it will happen, God does not sanction children out of wedlock.
When we celebrate a baby shower, we are saying that it is OK, but we cannot make the wrong choice and get the right result. This nation continues to add insult to injury when she continues with abortion. Has this nation forgotten how to love children for who they are instead of who they are not? Discipline and holding children accountable for their actions continues to become a thing of the past.
Looking at what is bringing this nation down to her knees, our laws are ignoring our deepest needs. Words are like empty air. We’ve stripped away our heritage. We’ve outlawed simple prayer. Now gun shots fill the classrooms and our precious children die.
America seeks answers everywhere and they ask the question “Why?” We fail to understand that God, through Jesus Christ, is all this nation needs. Almighty God, who alone can bring order to the chaos that man has created. Look mercifully upon us as we go about of daily lives. Teach us to apply your wisdom; guide our dealings with our fellow men and give us renewed strength when we seem to falter along the way.
In your holy name, we pray. Amen.

Rape hoaxes/hate hoaxes
Hillary Clinton denied women victims were telling the truth about her husband while trashing them when they came forward. Now she suddenly supports the claims (empty) of anti-Brett Kavanaugh women. You can add the Blasey-Ford accusations to the growing list of rape hoaxes/hate hoaxes.
Leftists tried to “bork” Judge Kav and failed to destroy him. After they purposely angered him they claimed his irritated response showed he lacked the temperament to serve as a judge. Judge Kavanaugh was far more polite and restrained than I’d have been. We already knew how 95 or 96 of the 100 senators would vote before the hearings began.
San Fran Nancy Pelosi said back in April 2018 that the Democrats would repeal the Trump tax cut if they retake control of the U.S. House. Pelosi in effect says MTHA: Make Taxes Higher Again. She was running a “Repeal the Trump Tax” tour and admitted this at a town hall in Culver City, Ca.
When leftist commentator Keith Olbermann called Donald Trump a Nazi, not only was he not fired, he was promoted.

Many liberals are already wealthy and use high taxes to keep you from becoming rich. I know of no liberals who favor tax rate cuts. High tax rates are little or no problem to them. Wealth taxes would present more to overcome. Big media and their Democrat political pals routinely paint Republicans as the “Party of the rich” when liberal Democrats are generally richer.

Dear editor,
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In conjunction with this, a member of our community, Rose Clark, a cancer survivor herself, will be hosting an event you will not want to miss. The Twelfth Annual Cancer Awareness Program will take place at Faith in Action Baptist Church on October 7, 2018 at 4:00 p.m. Faith in Action Baptist Church is located at 1046 College Street in Eastman.
More than one million people in the United States are diagnosed with cancer each year. Whether you have cancer or are close to someone who does, understanding what to expect can help you cope. Many lives can be saved through early detection.
I would like to personally encourage everyone in the area to take time to stop by the church and learn about early detection, treatment and support efforts for cancer patients and caregivers. There will be a guest speaker, Ms. Darlene Thomas from Lake Marry, Florida.
If you have never attended one of these events, please do come. This is for everyone, whether you are affected with the disease or not. There will be lost of activities including praise dancing, slideshow, educational brochures and a makeover by Mary Kay and Cato’s and dinner will be served.
I applaud Ms. Rose and Faith in Action Baptist Church for continuing their efforts to educate the community about the deadly disease.
Yours in Service,
Jimmy Pruett

Dear editor,
In regards to the pubic outcry over T-shirts in the Dodge County newspaper dated September 19 ,2018 I respectfully would like to share my thoughts on this matter of absolute silliness.
First, what are we talking about here? Apparently, a group of high school teenage girls who just happen to be the cheerleaders for Dodge County High School with well intentions had the lofty idea in a fund raiser to raise money by selling t-shirts emblazoned “In Dodge County, we stand for the flag, kneel for the cross. That’s Indian Pride”. From my read, apparently, the board of education had to stick their nose into it by presumably arguing separation of church and state with a religious connotation on the t-shirt would infringe on other non-Christian students rights and feelings.
This so called public outcry by the good citizens of Dodge County with approximately seventy people attending with one in particular (Mr. John Battle) making a spectacle of himself in his soliloquy drama speaking without invitation and coupled going over the allotted time to speak and had to be stopped! Let me guess, with a racial component.
I can remember during my school years in Eastman, class of 1965, schools, courts, the public square were often overtly Christian in themes of love, gatherings, teachings and ceremonies since the birth of Eastman in the 19th Century. Believe me, the good citizens back in my day wouldn’t have tolerated a coercive school board infringing on kids posting Christian writings as innocuous as a t-shirt to raise money for a fund raiser.
Well, welcome to the 21st Century Eastman and America too in this ever-so present political correctness non-sense. Whereas, the school board is within it’s right to curtail students’ speech if school officials have reason to believe that the speech (“t-shirts”) will cause disruption in what otherwise would be a safe and civil learning environment, or if the speech (“t-shirts”) violates the rights of other students. i.e. atheist, Muslims, or kids predisposed in debauchery of homosexual behavior, which goes against the ethos of Christianity. These cheerleaders sure have my families support and I for one, will send a cashier’s check for their fundraiser.
Please keep in mind, the principles that government must maintain an attitude of neutrality towards religion. If you really want to be honest about it then, that interpretation of the same principle is ambiguous at best. For example, the Supreme Court in it’s infinite wisdom told God to take a hike, you’re not welcome anymore in our schools with your Bible reading and prayers, but by the same token, that same court has accommodated every which way but loose to have Muslims do their abomination in a false gods which is an anathema to this nation that was founded in Christian principles.
That’s my opinion.

Let me guess, with a racial component.
I can remember during my school years in Eastman, class of 1965, schools, courts, the public square were often overtly Christian in themes of love, gatherings, teachings and ceremonies since the birth of Eastman in the 19th Century. Believe me, the good citizens back in my day wouldn’t have tolerated a coercive school board infringing on kids posting Christian writings as innocuous as a t-shirt to raise money for a fund raiser.
Well, welcome to the 21st Century Eastman and America too in this ever-so present political correctness non-sense. Whereas, the school board is within it’s right to curtail students’ speech if school officials have reason to believe that the speech (“t-shirts”) will cause disruption in what otherwise would be a safe and civil learning environment, or if the speech (“t-shirts”) violates the rights of other students. i.e. atheist, Muslims, or kids predisposed in debauchery of homosexual behavior, which goes against the ethos of Christianity. These cheerleaders sure have my families support and I for one, will send a cashier’s check for their fundraiser.
Please keep in mind, the principles that government must maintain an attitude of neutrality towards religion. If you really want to be honest about it then, that interpretation of the same principle is ambiguous at best. For example, the Supreme Court in it’s infinite wisdom told God to take a hike, you’re not welcome anymore in our schools with your Bible reading and prayers, but by the same token, that same court has accommodated every which way but loose to have Muslims do their abomination in a false gods which is an anathema to this nation that was founded in Christian principles.
That’s my opinion.

The assault on Kavanaugh
Was Brett Kavanaugh the slickest sexual harasser of all time? He was so smooth no human being, including the accuser (a certified leftwing college prof), has any factual memory of it happening, or hearing about it occurring, or even believing the judge would ever do such a thing, and it’s been 36 years for the opposition to concoct a good story. The evidence is so sparse that no prosecutor would attempt to proceed in an indictment. Demo Senators say they believe Ms. Ford, figuring they can get votes from women who still believe the media.
Think Duke lacrosse hoaxers including vengeful aspiring Democrat politician Mike Nifong. Ms. Ford was so convincing that she almost convinced herself that a nonevent was true. The Go Fund Me cash register is ringing up some nice sums from gullible liberals, heading toward the $1 million mark. A book deal couldn’t be far away.
“The assault on Kavanaugh, converting a man known for his integrity into a youthful Jack the Ripper in 10 days, is the playbook for what is planned for Trump.”
Pat Buchanan on VDare.com 9-28-18
The objective is to stop Kavanaugh, and they will spare no shameful ploy to do so, says Gregg Garrett of Fox News.com. Stall tactics will bring on more false accusations: delay, delay. They’re trying to run out the clock, figured we’re all stupid. I was wrong again. I would’ve bet anything Ms. Ford would never testify, but of course when she came forward she was among friends. You’ll notice that Senator Lindsey Graham was the only Republican to stand up for Judge Kavanaugh in the hearings. Good for him. Bringing in the dull questioner from Arizona was another strategic mistake. Yes, Republicans are the Stupid Party, Democrats are the Evil Party. What are Republicans scared of, anyway? Trump was sharp enough to hit back when the media unloaded on him and he won. Brett Kavanaugh stood alone fighting back and he should win in the end, no thanks to the “fair minded” Republican senators.

Delay, delay
Wow, the Demoleft really has an airtight case against Judge Kavanaugh, doesn’t it. When things don’t go your way, delay, delay. Notice “Doctor” Ford won’t take off her sunglasses in photos, obviously wanted to remain anonymous. Big media tries to keep her under cover, not easily recognized on the street, tried to keep her name out of the charges. Notice the fools who willingly buy her story. Six different investigations of Judge Kavanaugh over a 25 year period since 1993 never produced anything like these wild charges. It’s a late hit, says Pat Buchanan.

I wonder what Ben would think of today’s D.C. (District of Corruption) circus.
Republicans were stupid beyond belief when they forfeited two U.S. Senate seats (Indiana and Missouri) to the Democrats in 2012, simply because they didn’t like the Republican nominees. They trashed their own candidates. Now they send out e-mail messages crying for donations to take on the Democrat machine and win the two seats back six years later. Yes, the Stupid Party vs. the Evil Party Demoleft. I’ll take Stupid.
I would never vote for any of the idiot Senators who voted against the Robert Bork nomination in 1987. Judge Bork (1927-2012) got a dirty deal, plenty of lies told about him, another hatchet job by the Democrats and their media pals.
The top three boycotts from Boycott-Liberalism.com: 1. Starbucks 2. NFL 3. CNN/MSNBC.
The site has a list of good and bad celebrities – excellent website. Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd made the good list.
Bumper sticker of the day: HONK if you’ve never seen a gun fired from a vehicle.
Always remember if you win by one vote, you win.
The only Republican Senator running in a state that Hillary Clinton won in 2016 is Dean Heller in Nevada. You could say their chances of retaking the Senate are very small.
Dennis Prager says leftism is sick and ruins everything it touches – not liberalism, but leftism. Dennis always points out the difference in the two.

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
To the citizens of Eastman and Dodge County.
It has come to my attention and I feel that the citizens need to know, the City of Eastman and the city council has allocated $300,000.00 dollars for an outdoor event space.
This is fine, but the City of Eastman pays our firefighters $8.40 an hour to put their lives on the line to save the citizens. It is ridiculous and we should all have a problem with this. No disrespect, but the greeters at Walmart make more than the firefighters in the City of Eastman and all they do is tell me hello and come again. They are not putting their lives in harm’s way.
If we are going to ask these firefighters to risk their life to save ours, we should try and compensate them for it. Every city around us pays their firefighters well above what the City of Eastman does and they all, except Dublin, have a lot less industry. I have witnessed our firemen run into burning buildings, cut people out of horrific car accidents and even perform CPR on someone in which they survived to tell about it.
They help save lives. When we run away from danger, they run towards it. When we call them in our time of need, they answer that call 24 hours a day 7 days a week. They even do so on holidays. We call them heroes. I believe they are so; let us treat them like the heroes they are.
This is a call to the community to make your voice be heard and help get the people who help others every day what they deserve. Talk to your council member and go to the council meetings. This is nonsense.
I know we cannot pay them what they are truly worth, but their worth is more than what they make presently. Please show them you appreciate what they do. Let us help them get what they so much deserve.
Thank you.
Doug Conley

Have you noticed – Republicans always submit to election debates moderated by liberal Democrats posing as impartial news people. Yes, Republicans are the Stupid Party, Democrats are the Evil Party.

That’s good – here’s another from Joe: “If you reject a political claim made in the name of any category of people, you can expect to be accused of hating all people in that category.”
