buddy, my pal, my friend. You will be with me until
the end. So where ever I go, what ever I do.
You are my buddy, my pal, my friend. She looked

Not much info out of Ukraine, must mean things
not going well. Send Hunter and John Kerry to
sort it out.
Willing to wager most people today never had
a mayo-slathered pimento pepper sandwich for
lunch. Sad.
It takes natural gas to run electric cars, how
are we going to survive?
Dooly County scored a home run in getting Holly
Black. She will be missed.
Biden gonna drop federal gas tax for three
months. This isn't a fix to the problem! He needs
to drop his policies and drill for oil here! Begging
the Saudi's isn't the answer either.
Roe vs Wade. Abortions are still legal. It is
called states rights.
It's amazing to me that our country is falling
apart from Gas, Food, Border and so such lying
and all Biden's group is talking is GREEN energy.
Unbelievable! Everything is going up every day
but my money in the market. It's about gone.
Thanks Democrats!
The gun laws being passed, especially the red
flag laws they want states to implement are
unconstitutional. There's several amendments vi
olated. From illegal search and seize to no speedy
trial and more. So much for our representatives
upholding there oath to protect the constitution
and us!
Habitat homes serve a great purpose but
shouldn't the chamber be recruiting businesses
to grow the tax base?
“Unlike Putin's war in Ukraine ... Freedom is not
always taken at gunpoint. Rather is can be taken
one small regulation at a time, one small rule at a
time, one small mandate at a time and one act of
censorship at a time," FI. Gov. Ron DeSantis
Abortions should be legal but only for the fol
lowing reasons, (1) To save the life of a mother,
(2) In cases of incest, rape or physical or mental
defects of the child. Certainly not for cases of
casual sex.
I believe in God, country, babies and the right
to bare arms. So I guess I fall in with the radical
bunch. Proud to be part of it!
Great to see First Responders training just in
case a real emergency occurs.
As we celebrate our beloved nation’s
Independence Day, let us all remember
and salute all who sacrificed to give us
our liberty, freedom and independence.
It is with a great spirit of pride and honor
that we want to wish everyone a very...
Happy July 4th!

WALB article says women don't have the right
to make their own decisions on abortion now. How
very wrong, the woman and the man can choose
to be responsible when being together. If there's
a medical emergency or rape I can understand
but don’t use abortion as birth control.

Enjoy your retirement from banking Phil Frank

Why is Biden going to other countries that
doesn't like America...to beg for oil when we have
100 years supply right here in our country. On
day one, Biden laid off 11,000 American workers
from Keystone Pipeline. We need to be energy
independent. Oh, by the way, The Albany Herald
would not print this.
I believe anyone who wants an abortion should
be entitled to it - as long as - they pay for the
entire process themselves and not stick the
American taxpayers with the bill. This one of the
reasons taxpayers provide sex education classes
in school.
Proposed General Development Plan information is on file at the Lee County Planning, Zoning and En
gineering Department, 102 Starksville Avenue N, Room 202, Leesburg, GA 31763 and may be reviewed
