“Have you noticed
that we are now call
ing all the "illegal
aliens" coming into
this country "illegally"
migrants? That does
make an invasion
sound positively
peaceful, doesn't it?"
“It now appears
that the indiscriminate
overuse of annual flu
shots and covid flu
shots and boosters is
causing more deadly
virus mutations to
evolve. According to
researchers, you are
more likely to get in
fected today than
months ago because
of the vaccines. The
vaccines now are
acting like overuse of
antibiotics did in the
past. They are killing
off the development
of natural antibodies
and creating a situa
tion where the deadly
viruses evolve and
take over."
“Being a senior citi
zen, how refreshing it
is to get my gas
pumped and be
served by the His
panic, African-Ameri
can, and John him
self. True Southern
gentlemen at John's
Country Junction.
And the peanuts are
delicious. Thanks to all
of you."
“I would like ask
the city of Lyons if they
could cover up that
hole where they dug
up at the end of Stew
art and #1. And also
burn down some of
these empty houses."
“I have some won
derful neighbors. On
one side, they let their
dogs run free. On the
other side, they walk
their dogs nearly to
the property line. The
dogs do their business
in my yard. They are
saving me money on
fertilizer and electricity
for my watering sys
tem in my yard. There
fore, I'd like to say
thanks to my wonder
ful neighbors."
“It’s a crying shame
that we have places
in Vidalia that sell gas
that are corporation-
owned and cannot
even keep paper
where you can get a
receipt at the pump
or at the cash register.
What they need to do
is shut their doors and
move on to some
where else."
“To kick the rascals
out of office, we must
help replace them
with people we think
will represent us. Do
nate campaign funds
to people you want in
office. Even small
amounts like $5 or $10,
add up. Donate and
Vote!"
“OK. Former Presi
dent Trump needs to
get his nose and his
mouth out of state
politics. He's losing my
support when he lets
his personal vendet
tas against people he
doesn't like lead him
to support a demo
crat for our governor."

Fun By The
Numbers
Like puzzles?
Then you’ll love
sudoku. This
mind-bending
puzzle will have
you hooked from
the moment you
square off, so

your sudoku
savvy to the test!
Level: Intermediate
Here’s How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine
3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each
row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row,
column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will
appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The
more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
