If inmates in prison for the most heinous crimes imaginable are put to death with nitrogen gas, as Clark Sable said, 'Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn'. Good news! Finally, a 'bad list' Albany wasn't on. Didn't make Orkin's top 50 cities for bed bug infestations. More than 4 million Georgians live in a commu nity without enough mental health professionals. Good grief, now we're in a another desert. Biden admin now requiring museums with dis plays of bones or cultural items of native Ameri cans to get approval from 'informed descendants', some are closing.

Full Line of Hardware And Building Materials Interesting quote from Gail Drake's article "We will only have peace with Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us". Do our student athletes—and perhaps others- -get any school work done when all the coaches come a calling on recruiting trips? Falcons doing a deja vu with Raheem Morris returning as head coach. But at least he fills two needs. You can almost hear laughs of Chinese work ers making the junk they are selling us with its increasing prices and decreasing quality. But hey, we did it to ourselves. Since the Dylan Mulvaney transvestal (sic) fias co, I don't get as many Budweiser product cans thrown into the ditch anymore. If you need any tree trimming or removal, now is the time to jump on it. Companies need work now. Let's update the garbage holiday collection dates on the internet, it's 2024 now. Commercial development on Highway 82 going like gangbusters. Anything new on Grand Island? Kate, we wish you much success with your book. Your thoughtful views will be missed by many. Twin Oaks Elves impersonator play must have been fun. Cute photos in the paper last week. Representative Michelle Au and other Dems are trying to pass HB842. It will do away with the stand your ground law. We have a God given and constitutional right to protect ourselves without fear of being arrested for it! We need to let our Georgia representatives know this and stop this bill from being passed. Au is originally from NY. Georgia doesn't need to become like it! While the federal government has trillion-dollar deficits, Georgia has nearly $11 billion surplus. Congratulation Danielle Whitaker on your pro motion. Always proud to see our hometown people doing great!

A billionaire Chinese Communist is now the second largest farm land owner in America. This is America and no one will come to our res cue if things go sideways into catastrophic chaos. No one will be resupplying us. No one will air drop food, medical supplies, and ammunition. There is no place to escape to for freedom. This is it. We will be on our own. OK Lee County school system. What month is White History month? Or should we just have history month, and make it fair and equal for all students? A well-coordinated, well-funded, and high-pow ered network of extreme left organizations are behind the push to remove former President Donald Trump from the ballot. Regulations/Technology are three things that comes to mind. They are destroying NFL with free agency, College Football with the Transport Portal (NIL) along with the screw up with the playoffs and now the Commercial Fishermen can't do their jobs be of all these new Biden regula tions. No more Common Sense! And now the new updates on these I phones suck! As a voter, I like Nikki Haley, but the big boys in Washington will run over her I believe. That's the reason the Democrats are voting for her to keep Trump off the ticket. Just my thoughts. These two are not my favorite candidates by the way.
