Lee Leesburg, Ga 759-2963 A locally-owned family business, supplying building materials to south Georgia since 1898! Pool Season Is Here! Get Your Pool Ready At Griffin Lumber & Hardware! FREE WATER TESTING M tffl® Menthol cigarettes, choice of 85% of black smokers. Biden admin delayed planned ban on these until after the election. Hmm, pan dering for votes? Will never make it to new class citizens called HENRYs—high earners not rich yet. Old Brandon may not have lost all his marbles yet but there's a big hole in the bag somewhere. The world needs 3.8 million tons of lithium per year by 2035 to meet the demand for EVs. Watch prices soar. Sinking feeling when seeing Dominion name on voting screen. Was ok when recalled Raffensperger is making sure we have an other 'honest election", lol Senior school tax relief question over 80% approved in both parties. Let's get our local/ state politicians in line and roll the process, much left to do. You did it Mike Sabot, thanks for your effort on senior taxes. Drag it to the finish line, citizens have spoken. Hang on. The 82/520 intersection at Hick ory Grove is under DOT study for traffic signals and speed reduction. None too soon I might add. What does the Feds do with all the monies from fines and penalties in court cases? Or do they even collect them? Richest person(s) in GA are the three Chic- fil-A Truitt Cathy family members, $11.2 billion. People ate lot mo' chicken. UN World Court orders Israel to suspend fighting immediately. Haven't heard such order against Russia, 2 1/2 years into fight. So, Albany and D0C0 lost population since 2020 census. And LeeCo has gained. Hard one to figure. Here we go again pandering using strategic oil reserves. But, when you need votes or to sway public opinion, anything can be 'strate gic', right? It's pitiful the amount of trees they have cut down on 82. Bet ya won't hear PETA com plain about the wildlife homes it destroyed. Ya won't hear the liberals screem climate change about it either. Taking out all those trees cause both problems. That's more of a problem than the gas vehicle I drive! Teen shot and killed by three other teens in Valdosta. First thing they say is gun vio lence. When are they going to put the blame where it should be. It's gang violence 95% of the time. Deep State. Their vision of a “new world order" has no place or room in it for the preservation of Southern history, heritage or culture, particularly any that relates to the Christian faith. Were you one of the few that took time to cast a ballot in the primary election? Encourage family, friends and neighbors to return to the polls for the Republican con gressional run-off. Radical Left Wing politicians want illegals here because they will help transform Amer ica into a One World Government where our rights will only be what the United Nations says they are. Their disdain for American citizens is at epidemic proportions. Why are there so many junk (non-running) vehicles in yards? Please elected officials put a stop to this. A real problem - human trafficking impacts every part of the world, including Georgia and our area. Regarding our five Americans in jail over in the Turks and Caicos Islands - They are a territory of the UK and 90% of their busi ness comes as American tourists. I suggest banning all Americans from going there and that would clear it up in 30 days! Wake up Biden and weak Anthony Blinken. Why is this taking so long to clear up? We drove through several neighborhoods Sunday and saw only five American flags flying. What a disgrace when our sons and daughters went to war to defend us and our freedom. Freedom is not free and its going away fast! Wake up and put your flags out! Please honor our fallen brothers and sisters. They died for you and me. Cod Bless America!
