Dear editor,
In the state of Georgia there are several thousand citizens living in Georgia’s five state hospitals and two community areas that serve clients with developmental disabilities and behavioral health needs. Many of these clients have lived in these hospitals most of their lives and have little, if any, contact with or support from friends or family.
In 1959, the Georgia Municipal Association and then Governor Ernest Vandiver created the Mayors’ Christmas Motorcade to help these hospital clients celebrate Christmas by providing each with a present. The staffs at the regional hospitals tell us that without the Mayors’ Christmas Motorcade, many patients would go without any type of gift or recognition during the holidays.
Our city has started its gift collection campaign and we are asking for your help. The hospital clients are part of our community and we would like to encourage all of you to remember them this holiday season. If your school, church, business or civic group would like to participate in an outstanding holiday community project please contact Katie Barrett at the City of Eastman at 478-374-7721 or kate@cityofeastman.com for further information on how you can get involved. Please drop off gifts and/or money to the city hall by Friday, December 4, 2015 at 5:00 p.m.
Let’s not forget those less fortunate during the holiday season.

Dear editor,
What’s that proverbial maxim? “The insane are running the insane asylum” or maybe there is something in the water in the ‘Show Me’ state of (Missouri) in these past news events of that state.
Here we go again with this tired lame excuse of poor me, (I’m an African American who is being discriminated because of the color of my skin) as in the case at the University of Missouri of the black student body of protest and even the school’s black athletics boycotting upcoming games unless the school’s president resigns in their demands.
Well, the school president had no backbone to stand up to these little trouble makers and hooligans and fell like warm butter; he ran off like a whipped dog and quit! Can we please cutout the bovine droppings and call these frauds for what they really are, and that is reckless malcontents crab weasels who have no conception of real world struggles in getting an education, finding a job, and being productive citizens of a once great nation.
Anecdotally, the charges of raciest graffiti and raciest language towards black students at the university may, or may NOT even happen in the first place with virtually NO backup photos and third party witness to their claims. Additionally, since when does a football team make up higher education in their success of shutting down a university for legitimate students who want an education?
Part and parcel of this scam at the college goes back to another fraud foisted upon the citizens of Missouri by the criminal element two summers ago in that down right-out lie (“Hands up don’t shoot mantra”) by the black community in Ferguson, Missouri of a white cop executing a black teenager with his hands up. Just as with this Missouri school incident currently, that story too, was a manufactured event to further bifurcate our nation into two distinct antagonistic cultures by troublemakers. That cop was cleared by a grand jury, and the black teenager he shot was positively identified as a known robber of a store, assault of the store clerk and found to be attempted capital murder of a police officer. What’s even more disturbing was the cops’ boss, the chief, a high ranking state police supervisor and of course (the president, Mr. Obama’s administration all marched in solidarity with the Ferguson protestors and throw that cop under the bus before the investigation was complete.).
America, the greatest country in the world, is now the laughing stock of the world.
When you see a democrat (ask him, or her how you feel now? you elected this idiot).

Your vote counts
Your vote counts. Republican Matt Bevin won the governor’s race in Kentucky, despite being an underdog in the polls. He won comfortably after pollsters counted him out. Mr. Bevin won a close Republican Primary against three opponents by just 83 votes.
Global warming/climate change at work: Six Flags Amusement Park in St. Louis was set to reopen for the season on 3-31-13, but had to clear away the previous day’s heavy snowfall.
We had a chance to save money and do the right thing. Some 80 percent of Americans believe foreign aid should be reduced. How about eliminating it entirely. Why do we have it at all? It’s unconstitutional. The out-of-touch U.S. Senate voted 81 to 10 on September 22, 2012 to defeat legislation that would have suspended foreign aid to Pakistan, Egypt and Libya. Kentucky Senator Rand Paul tried to hold up all Senate business until the bill was considered. You can see how few good Senators we have, apparently no more than 10. Rand Paul, Mike Lee and Jim DeMint were three who stood their ground.
Remember, only Democrats gave us Obamacare – no Republicans to blame on this. Have you heard people say both parties are alike? There is still a ray of hope for the Repubs, not for the Demoleft

Dear editor,
As Americans are getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving, I am reminded of the song, “What Does Love Have To Do With It,” I am reminded of another song, “What A Heck Of A Way To Die.”
It will always be in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are gone but not forgotten. Number one is Jesus Christ, God so loved his creation that he allowed his only son to go to the cross to pay for our sins, the sins he did not commit. Jesus is the one we cannot afford to live with out, this is what love has to do with it.
Secondly, it is the American soldiers who have on a moments notice deploy to all parts of the universe in the protection of this and other nations for the freedom we enjoy today.
Thirdly, the wives and mothers of the men, sons and daughters, who have worked so diligently in the house keeping while they were in many parts of the world not knowing if they would return alive.
Lastly, the mothers of those men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for this nation they have become auxiliary women known as Gold Star Mothers. If a West Point cadet were caught cheating he or she would immediately be dismissed.
It’s sad that in this nation more and more Americans are not willing to accept zero tolerance when it comes to God’s Holy Word. America will always be a great Christian nation but her citizens seem to be forgetting how to be Christ like for the followers of Jesus Christ there is no such thing as luck. Christ is the author of a miracle or a blessing.
Thank you and Lord bless,
Johnny L. Blacke, MSG (R)

Dear editor,
With so much open hostility in our country, especially the hostility towards Christianity, the U.S. Constitution and American culture, one can only wonder why there is not more pushback against it all. It is easy to believe that most folks just don’t care what is happening and are content to lull themselves into thinking that all this will pass and it will pass. Unless there is resistance to it, what comes out on the other side will be an America that the unconcerned will not like.
It is commonly accepted among the political class that God has no place in the “New America.” The only concern by the political class (PC) is who gets to be in charge in Washington. Success of one political party or the other is the overriding concern. Because the PC is dedicated to its own self and wants the same things, Democrat and Republican elected officials are merely labels used to present a false difference between the two. This has resulted in the fact that too many people readily accepts that government knows best and should not be questioned. Such blind obedience to oppression can only lead to more oppression and it now appears that God has lost his supremacy over government among those who want more government.
In 2014, Republicans voters went to the polls to elect those who were empowered to stop the current government agenda. So far they have proven their support for the socialistic democrat agenda. One prayer was answered when John Boehner stepped down as leader of the House of Representatives and now we have Paul Ryan has the leader. We can only pray he will step up and take on the challenge to repair the damage John Boehner created. Unfortunately, early indicators are saying he will be a carbon copy of J.B.

As Rush Limbaugh points out, Carly Fiorina is seen as the person who can knock Donald Trump out of the presidential race. Big media and the Republican establishment both want him out of there.
Astute VDARE.com columnist James Kirkpatrick has the answer: “Once Trump is eliminated, the GOP can return to its 2012 strategy of pushing candidates who want upper-class tax cuts, more disastrous wars, more cheap labor, more outsourcing (something Florina is good at), and not much else.”

Odd, isn’t it: Trump has led the pack in every poll yet the media and Republican establishment keep asking when he will quit the race. Of course these folks claimed Rudy Giuliani was the frontrunner in 2008.

I thought illegal immigrants came to the USA for better opportunities. Three illegals are emboldened by the Obama administration and are suing three Missouri colleges, claiming their tuition is too high – no kidding. The ACLU in Missouri is pushing the case.

Republican Donald Trump has self-funded his campaign yet has received 73,942 unsolicited donations averaging $50.46 per contribution from July 1 through September 30, totaling just under $3.8 million from the general public. He’s not asking for donations but is happy to accept same.
Hillary Clinton made big bucks on Wall Street while pretending to be against “big money” firms. Both Hillary and Bill Clinton have made millions in speaking fees from Wall Street firms.
In 2013 Hillary was paid $3.15 million from Wall Street firms such as UBS, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs paid Bill $200,000 for a June 2013 speech and Hillary $225,000 for an October 2013 speech. Source: Money.CNN.com.

Repubs...the stupid party
The donor class supports Jeb, or is it Jeb! The working class supports Donald. Trump keeps running #1 in all polls. Somehow the medialeft windbags and the Repub establishment keep claiming he should get out of the race. The establishment Republicans are comfortable being #2 in a two person contest.
I’m reminded of the naysayers during the Reagan ascendancy to the top in 1980. Some “experts” including Gerald Ford and George Will claimed Reagan was a weak candidate and would drag the party down with him as he lost. Reagan proved he was no Goldwater as he won big and pulled in many winning candidates with him in a blowout. The polls were way off on this one. What do Gerald Ford and George Will know about winning campaigns anyway?
Coming into the Tuesday Oct. 13 CNN (Clinton News Network) Demoleft presidential debate, CNN says it “won’t pit Dems against each other.” Of course they won’t. The Dems know they are among friends at CNN and that the debate moderators will save their vitriol, left-wing bias and “gotcha” questioning for their enemies, the Republicans. I still can’t believe Republicans are stupid enough to submit to debates moderated by liberal Democrats. That’s another reason we call the Repubs the Stupid Party.

Dear editor,
Well, the folks who are fortunate enough to remember Walter Kelly’s “Pogo the Possum” cartoon and the quote, “We have met the enemy and he is us,” can just take a look at the current occupant of the Whitehouse, Barrack Obama, with his extreme left wing ideology that denies any objective ground of truth, especially of moral truths and his bad behavior will eventually bring about the destruction of our nation. Now take a look at this current batch of Democrat candidates for president who mirrors the same nihilism as Mr. Obama.
You look at these sycophants, shills, and jesters, the democratic voter who are effusively drunk with love for Mr. Obama, and his heathenism approach to center our country with the devil himself, will sure give those eggheads a rude awakening when meeting their maker.
Speaking of the democratic candidates and what I saw in their debate last week, the biggest threats to America are climate change, energy efficiency and income inequality. Now what I didn’t hear was anything about individual responsibility. The other thing that stood out was no mention of God, faith and morals. At least some Republicans talked about how faith in God guides them. The unwavering truth about the Democratic party and their thought is that because of information and scientist that is rudder in their moral direction, and not God.
Yes, Pogo the Possum has a better understanding as a leader of this free nation than this current clown (Mr. Obama).

See why I hate the media?
Don’t forget, if you watch unbiased journalist George Step On All Of Us (why watch?) he donated $75,000 to the Clinton family foundation. Step didn’t inform his employer ABC News about the donation either. Remember ol’ Down the Middle Dan Rather? Rather always claimed to be unbiased and evenhanded, fair to all. See why I hate the media? I don’t watch those shows. I listen to WFLA.com in Orlando on the Internet then Laura Ingraham on Atlanta radio, both great shows, yes, biased and admittedly so. Both are opinion shows. The other two, Step and Blather, are/were supposedly news people. Remember Uncle Walter Cronkite, University of Texas dropout, supposedly a CBS News centrist? Underneath the See BS facade, Cronkite was a raving leftist. As a kid I remember a lot of older people watching network news constantly. No wonder they voted liberal. My dad never watched that junk and he was politically savvy. Good for him. He and I both voted for Goldwater. Now I’m an older person. I read recently of Barry Goldwater once telling John McCain that as president, he’d never have sent him or anyone else to Vietnam. Now I’m an older person. Barry slipped badly in his later years but that’s another story. He was mentally off, a bitter old guy later on, a nut case then, but sharp in 1964.
A great and underappreciated web site, one of the best: TheoSpark.net. He’s a clever guy, smart, nice and funny, one of my favorites. Theo has a savvy take on the USA and lives in England. Guaranteed: He has some of the best commentary on the Internet, funny cartoons, too. He’s so good you’ll never see him on television.
Senator Marco Rubio says gun control is unlikely to stop deadly mass shootings. Wow! I didn’t know that, did you? Unfortunately for us, Marco has been hanging around with some of the Clinton crowd, including Joe Lieberman and Strobe Talbot, both of whom were praising Marco and his world view. A few months back Senator Rubio praised foreign aid as “cost effective.” He should’ve been voting against it instead. Republicans should reject the concept of foreign aid as unconstitutional and wasteful spending. Congressmen Larry McDonald and Ron Paul never voted for any foreign aid for any nation. Such an America First philosophy would be a great starting point for a reworked Republican Party. Good for those two patriots. Dr. McDonald was murdered by the Soviet Union in 1983. We still send foreign aid to his killers. Yes, Russia and China still get foreign aid from us. Most Republicans vote for it. Crazy, isn’t it? This is the world’s largest freak show. [Full Story »]

We still send foreign aid to his killers. Yes, Russia and China still get foreign aid from us. Most Republicans vote for it. Crazy, isn’t it? This is the world’s largest freak show. [Full Story »]
Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
Silence is the enemy of an educated society. Silent objectivity cannot translate into objective decision-making. One cannot hear ideas in silence nor can one improve schools being silent. Silence has become the principle weapon of school boards, of superintendents, and educators of all sorts. A weapon that serves only to protect the irresponsible from their responsibilities. The responsibilities to initiate change, for example, when change is necessary, will not ne displayed if board members are allowed to remain silent. By hiding behind their code of silence, the board has freed themselves from the responsibility of leadership. It’s so easy to lead-when everyone is quiet.
Our Board of Education (BOE) has established policies that prohibit discussion and thus discourages the debate necessary to promote objective decision-making. Not being allowed to enter into objective debates in a public forum stifles the advancement of our schools, and more importantly degrades the academic growth of our children. Research clearly substantiates the effects of our leadership void in the academic growth of our children. Up to 25 percent of everything we teach our students is forgotten by the time the next school year comes around. (You will not hear that admission from the BOE or superintendent.) Studies on Summer Learning Loss have reported that students will enter into their next school year less educated by up to 25 percent. (Again, you will not hear that admission from the BOE or superintendent.) Each successive year, the loss of learning keeps students behind because that loss cannot be recovered. (Again, you will not hear that admission from the BOE or superintendent.) John Hopkins concluded that the SINGLE cause of this loss of learning is the traditional school calendar.

Random thoughts
Daniel Webster (R-Florida) is one Congressman who stood up to House Speaker John Boehner and challenged the way Boehner and his cohorts ran the House. Boehner and his cronies responded by dumping Dan Webster off the House Rules Committee. Most House Repubs sought to get along with Boehner and not challenge anything he did as Speaker. That’s why Rep. Webster should run for Speaker. Dan Webster is a fiscal conservative who this year turned $2 million in unspent office funds back to the U.S. Treasury, a nice demonstration of frugality and thrift. Ron Paul was another House member who always underspent and returned money each year.
Working class voters are trying to take back the Republican Party from the donor class and D.C. Beltway political operatives. The unlikely candidate to tap into disgruntled working class voters is billionaire Trump, a media-savvy fellow with good political instincts. Trump had the good sense to avoid advice from political consultant losers such as Karl Rove. He also recognized the largest voting segment in the USA is working class whites.
Ultraliberal Democrat Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia is pushing a bill to make “gun sellers” criminally liable for misuse of guns. The Virginia gunman who killed the television reporter and cameraman passed a background check for his firearm. Kaine, a complete loser, will do anything to disarm the law-abiding public. Virginia has been taken over by looney left politicians such as Kaine.
Under Kaine’s bill, gun sellers are supposed to make “reasonable, affirmative steps to determine the customer met federal criteria.” Kaine’s bill is titled the Responsible Transfer of Firearms Act. The bill also puts private sellers under criminal liability. Most public attackers we have read about in recent years have passed background checks, says Breitbart.com and PatriotOutdoorNews.com.
TheFederalist.com correctly calls Kaine’s bill a backdoor plan to ban all gun sales.

Fiorina sounds great lately
Carly Fiorina sounds great lately, but don’t forget – she’s being promoted by the media left and the Republican establishment in an attempt to derail the Trump express. Both would love to knock Donald Trump out of the race and they figured he would be gone by now. Carly is an outsider only because she lost her U.S. Senate run in California and she didn’t even come close to winning. She has some annoying views; she supported California’s DREAM Act, which grants in-state tuition to illegal immigrants. She also believes in man-caused global warming
“Furthermore she recently stated that border walls and fences are not effective at protecting U.S. national sovereignty.”

Bumper sticker of the day: Keep Calm and Return Fire.
Voter tuneout usually far exceeds voter turnout in the USA, particularly in primaries.
“You can ignore reality, but you can’t ignore the consequences of reality.”
Ayn Rand
Remember the phony indictment of Texas Governor Rick Perry a little over a year back? Ann Coulter calls it “Phony indictment of Rick Perry by liberal idiots.” The case had no substance and went nowhere and was forgotten by the medialeft smear artists.
“Payback: Liberals indict Rick Perry on 2 counts.”

B.H. Obama has directed $10 million in emergency Pentagon spending to help France fight terrorists – in northwest Africa, reports CNSNews.com. The U.S. can’t spend it fast enough – we’re loaded with money, apparently.
“When it comes to the U.S. Constitution, idiocy has been institutionalized so thoroughly that any hope for a return to reason seems like sheer fantasy.”

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
The Eastman City Council approved in a 3 to 2 vote that saw councilpersons, Raymond Mullis, Bobby Slye, and Milton Johnson vote in favor of supporting a roundabout at the intersection of Legion Drive and Griffin Avenue. This initial step advances this initiative from the generalized conversation that has gone on for close to a decade on what might be able to be done to improve the safety of this intersection. While this vote is a decisive action supporting a roundabout project at this location, it is by no means the final decision point on the proposed roundabout.
I feel that we have given ample time to councilman Buddy Pittman, our city manager, and our resources across the state in producing state support for a red light. Councilman Pittman, most of all, has gone to great lengths over the last nine months to give the City of Eastman a second viable project in a red light. However, I feel that councilman Pittman suffers from the same dedication of the great NBA star Michael Jordan who felt, “I’ve never lost a game, I just ran out of time.” All of these individuals have failed to inspire anyone to step forward to provide the City of Eastman with any support that could be acted on for a red light at this location.
The city council majority vote in support of a roundabout project has now given the city staff, city attorney, and city engineer direction on what processes and procedures they can now start on to put together a project package to present to the residents of Eastman, city council, and the Georgia Department of Transportation. Our city staff will now be able to coordinate with GDOT to schedule several public involvement opportunities for public information open houses and public hearing open houses.
While some may want to use the old colloquial statements that the “cart has been put before the horse,” in reality the horse and cart have finally been taken out of the barn and moved a little closer together to get hitched. There is a lengthy project management process with a lot of moving parts that the community will have a full view and voice in before this horse and cart get hitched, yet alone get to moving.
Best regards,
Milton Johnson
District 1 Councilperson
