Lawsuit in the GA 2nd District GOP Congressional Race

The primary runoff election day is tomorrow, June 21. The main race in the Southwest corner of the state is for the Republican nomination for Congress in the 2nd District to face Sanford Bishop in November.

Jeremy Hunt and Chris West were the top two in a crowded field of six in the May primary. I support Chris West.

Many have made a decision and even cast an early vote. Some may still be undecided. If you want to read my reasons to vote for Chris West, you can read my primary review and endorsement of Chris here.

Last Thursday Jeremy Hunt and Chris West both appeared at the Bibb County GOP meeting. Prior to the meeting, Jeremy Hunt was quietly served in the parking lot with a lawsuit filed by former candidate, Wayne Johnson.

No one knew about the lawsuit at the time until Jeremy Hunt told the audience about being served. Hunt charged Chris West for his involvement, but West was as much in the dark as the rest of the audience.

Wayne Johnson stood up and took responsibility for the lawsuit. He acknowledges that some will say it is merely sour grapes for not making the primary, but he insists that this is about the integrity of the election process.

In summary, the suit charges Fox News, Brian Kilmeade of Fox News, Jeremy Hunt and the Jeremy Hunt campaign for colluding to provide Hunt free air time on national Fox News television for the purpose of promoting his campaign and raising money. The complaint identified at least 15 appearances.

Johnson first addressed this issue in February with a letter to Fox News demanding equal time. Fox immediately called him and asked him to appear one time.

Fox also contacted Chris West and scheduled him to be on one show but later cancelled. When West called to reschedule, Fox ignored and would not return his calls.

While courts will determine the matter of law in this case, even the most casual observer would see that the lopsided coverage by Fox News is unfair. There is no way to justify the repeated appearances on Fox News, promoting his candidacy and asking for money after other candidates in the same race requested equal time and were rebuffed by Fox.

The complaint points out that there were concerns when President Gerald Ford appeared in a United Way Commercial (with no reference to his Presidential campaign). Networks were even concerned about showing movies with Ronald Reagan during his Presidency.

The complaint states that Hunt signed a lease for an apartment in Columbus after he announced his candidacy and that he still maintains a residence in Connecticut. Hunt is also a rising third year student at Yale Law School.

One question that I have which has not been mentioned is how Hunt manages to pay his personal bills. I know that I had to dig into savings to pay personal bills when I ran.

Jeremy apparently has two residences now, one in Columbus and one in Connecticut plus he is paying for Yale Law School and has a wife and child to support. I am not alleging anything nefarious taking place.

I do think that it is a reasonable question to ask in the primary, especially with hundreds of thousands supporting a campaign from sources in Washington, DC. Be assured, that if it is not answered now, Democrats will provide their own answers to the voters in November.

Let me restate that this lawsuit comes from a former candidate. Chris West had no knowledge of or involvement in Wayne Johnson deciding to file this lawsuit.

Jeremy Hunt says that the lawsuit will be “dismissed as quickly as Wayne Johnson was dismissed by the voters of the 2nd District.” Hunt called the suit a dirty trick similar to those, “often played by the radical left against true conservative candidates.”

I do not believe that the lawsuit will change the minds of any voters. Those supporting Jeremy will stand with Jeremy calling this a dirty trick. Those supporting Chris will continue to stand with Chris based on his conservative values, lifetime investment in the district and will note that he is not involved in this lawsuit.

Undecideds will swing one way or the other based on the issues of importance to them and the opinions of trusted friends. Ultimately we will know tomorrow.

Primary runoff elections, especially in the middle of summer, have notoriously low turnout. Make your statement with your vote.

Ultimately, the voters in the 2nd District will decide tomorrow whether or not the issues raised in this lawsuit are of importance in determining who should be the nominee. I believe that Chris West is the candidate the carry the Republican banner in November and ask 2nd District Republicans to vote for Chris.

Here is a link to the news story on WTVM TV in Columbus.

If you want to read the case for yourself, here is a link to download.

After tomorrow’s results, the primary phase of this campaign will be over. The Republicans will have a nominee. I will be standing strong with our nominee. I encourage all Republicans to make the decision now, no matter how the vote goes, to stand with our nominee to win the 2nd District in November.

For Such a Time – Tribute to John Wiggins

In the Bible, the book of Esther records these words, “for such a time as this.” Mordecai, the uncle and mentor of Queen Esther, encouraged her to lead in a critical time.

John Wiggins, Chair Cordele City Commission

Four years ago in the City of Cordele, a retired Deputy Sheriff, stepped up to the challenge of those words. John Wiggins entered a crowded field of candidates to run for Chair of the Cordele City Commission.

The citizens of Cordele elected John Wiggins, who also happened to be the first African-American elected to the city-wide post. Commissioner-elect Wiggins posted a statement on Facebook and summed up his commitment in one sentence: “It is my privilege to serve you and I will do everything in my power to always put the needs of the people first.” Continue reading

President Roosevelt Leads the Nation in Prayer as Troops Land on D-Day 75 Years Ago

On June 6, 2019 the entire world will remember the 75th anniversary of the largest military operation in history. It was an epic conflict of good vs evil.

Thousands of young Americans who just months before were securely living in homes on farms and in cities across our nation crowded into landing craft.

The vast armada chugged toward the beaches of Normandy like a cloud of gnats on a South Georgia farm. As these brave young men stormed the beaches, they were charging into the gates of hell itself.

While the invasion was underway, President Franklin Roosevelt, in a nationwide radio address, led the nation in prayer for this undertaking. Take 5 minutes to listen. Share this with your friends and especially young students who are learning about our nation’s history.

Text of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Address and Prayer on D-Day – June 6, 1944

My fellow Americans: Last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. It has come to pass with success thus far.

And so, in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer:

Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our Nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.

Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith.

They will need Thy blessings. Their road will be long and hard. For the enemy is strong. He may hurl back our forces. Success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again; and we know that by Thy grace, and by the righteousness of our cause, our sons will triumph.

They will be sore tried, by night and by day, without rest-until the victory is won. The darkness will be rent by noise and flame. Men’s souls will be shaken with the violences of war.

For these men are lately drawn from the ways of peace. They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate. They fight to let justice arise, and tolerance and good will among all Thy people. They yearn but for the end of battle, for their return to the haven of home.

Some will never return. Embrace these, Father, and receive them, Thy heroic servants, into Thy kingdom.

And for us at home — fathers, mothers, children, wives, sisters, and brothers of brave men overseas — whose thoughts and prayers are ever with them–help us, Almighty God, to rededicate ourselves in renewed faith in Thee in this hour of great sacrifice.

Many people have urged that I call the Nation into a single day of special prayer. But because the road is long and the desire is great, I ask that our people devote themselves in a continuance of prayer. As we rise to each new day, and again when each day is spent, let words of prayer be on our lips, invoking Thy help to our efforts.

Give us strength, too — strength in our daily tasks, to redouble the contributions we make in the physical and the material support of our armed forces.

And let our hearts be stout, to wait out the long travail, to bear sorrows that may come, to impart our courage unto our sons wheresoever they may be.

And, O Lord, give us Faith. Give us Faith in Thee; Faith in our sons; Faith in each other; Faith in our united crusade. Let not the keenness of our spirit ever be dulled. Let not the impacts of temporary events, of temporal matters of but fleeting moment let not these deter us in our unconquerable purpose.

With Thy blessing, we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy. Help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogancies. Lead us to the saving of our country, and with our sister Nations into a world unity that will spell a sure peace a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men. And a peace that will let all of men live in freedom, reaping the just rewards of their honest toil.

Thy will be done, Almighty God. Amen.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt – June 6, 1944

Sonny Hits 50 States

Sonny Perdue in Soybean Field
US Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue

While news coverage focuses on investigations, hearings, subpoenas, and other madness in Washington, DC, one member of the President’s cabinet has been steadily and persistently doing the job to which he has been called.

This week, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue visited his 50th state. In two years and a few weeks, he traveled to all 50 states plus Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and multiple foreign countries.

He made several RV tours, appropriately named, “Back to Our Roots.” Rolling down the back roads of rural America across multiple states he went to do something spectacular for which Washington, DC is not known. He went to listen.

His travels covered over 100,000 miles. He visited over 100 farms and held nearly 200 townhall meetings.

The people came to meet him. They gathered in barns, school gymnasiums, college campuses, churches, fields, town squares, cafeterias, processing plants, and the list goes on. Governors, members of Congress, State Legislators, County Commissioners, Mayors, farmers, ranchers, teachers, students, pastors, small business owners, homemakers, and small children came to meet Secretary Sonny.

Immediately after Sonny Perdue took the oath of office, President Trump directed him to head up a Task Force on Agriculture and Rural Prosperity. Ninety days later he completed the report with specific recommendations and action plans.

The top recommendation was to make broadband accessible to rural America. He compared it to the national investments in the 1930’s to provide electricity and telephone service to rural areas through the Rural Electrification Act and the Telecommunications Act.

Less than a week after he was sworn in, Sonny went to an elementary school in Virginia and announced that he was rolling back the onerous school lunch regulations of the Obama administration. School nutritionists, also known as the “lunchroom ladies” as he fondly recalled from his childhood, were spending more time trying to comply with rules than feed their students.

Even worse, they were helplessly watching as kids dumped their Obama Approved lunches in the trash. It didn’t take him long to trash the regulations and make school lunches great again.

He restructured the mission areas of USDA to focus on the customer. He slashed regulations. His top priority was opening markets for U.S. agricultural products. He told farmers, “if you grow it, we’ll help you sell it.”

Knowing that agriculture would be the prime target for retaliation by other nations against the President’s trade policy, he diligently worked with President Trump to provide some mitigation. No one likes what the Chinese and other nations are doing to U.S. agriculture but he stands with the President in addressing issues that have been swept under the rug for decades. Farmers, although hurt, are standing with the President.

Sonny took another step that is unheard of in Washington, D.C. He reached out to other agencies to coordinate efforts in overlapping responsibilities.

He was perhaps the most outspoken cabinet member calling on the EPA to get rid of the burdensome and intrusive Waters of the US (WOTUS) Rules. He worked closely with the Department of Labor to help farmers navigate the cumbersome H2A Visa process.

Where the Food and Drug Administration had legal responsibility for some areas of food safety, he worked with them to align USDA regulations. When it came to the farmers, he was like a protective mother bear. He bluntly made it clear that he did not want to have FDA inspectors, who knew nothing about farming, to be treating farms like a pharmacy inspection.

He made sure that USDA had a seat at the table to help shape rules in other agencies so agriculture’s voice was heard. HUD, Department of Energy, Homeland Security, Department of Interior, and more have the fingerprints of Sonny Perdue.

Sonny Perdue’s vision for USDA is that it is the most effective, most efficient, most customer focused agency in the federal government. Just as he did when he was Georgia’s Governor, that vision will come about.

He adopted a motto for USDA, “Do Right and Feed Everyone.” When these trade disputes are resolved and America’s farm products can start flowing in free and open markets, America will be sending food to all corners of the globe to help make that motto a reality.

Fifty states visited in two years. That is doing right.

Congratulations on that Mount Everest of a milestone. America is blessed to have you serve and Georgians are proud of you.

America – Heed the Warning

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”(Genesis 1:1) The opening words of the Bible lay a foundation on which all of mankind stands.

The account of God’s creation unfolds step by step. Everything was building toward this grand finale of the creation. God created man in the image of God.

Man was special. Man was unique. The description of man contains a characteristic unlike any other part of creation. “in our own image.” (Genesis 1:26) Man was stamped with the image of God. He was sanctified by God.

In this perfect environment, with a perfect couple, a tragic event took place. God’s perfect human beings, Adam and Eve, rejected God.

Instead of trusting in the abundant gifts of God in a perfect environment with a perfect relationship, they chose their own path. They violated the one rule that God gave.

With the fall of man, sin entered the world. Adam and Eve experienced fear and shame.

Their first child, Cain, demonstrated the pollution of sin and the fall. He experienced envy, jealousy, rage, and eventually killed his own brother.

When God handed down the 10 commandments, He included, “you shall not murder.” (Exodus 20:13) God gave life. His creation was to honor life and treat everyone with dignity and respect.

Even the social consciousness movement against bullying is not a new cultural improvement. God handed down the first directive against making fun of others? “You shall not curse a deaf man, nor place a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall revere your God; I am the LORD” (Leviticus 19:14 NASB)

The Nation of Israel turned away from the one true God and chased after false philosophies. It led to a downward spiral of the nation that sunk to its lowest depth.

They sacrificed their own children. Their focus of attention was not on the gift of the lives of their children. Their focus was on themselves.

Things are no different today. The self-centered secular humanism has no moral absolutes. As a result, we have a nation that worships itself and fails to see the glaring inconsistency of its own behavior.

Imagine someone going on a famous talk show. Millions across the nation watch as the parents calmly talk with the host about their latest wonderful religious experience.

They vividly describe how they took their newborn baby into a decorated sanctuary. They bowed before a large statue. Then they turned and handed the infant child over to man dressed in a ceremonial robe.

The man lifted the child up high over his head and uttered words to the god he worshipped. He then placed the baby on a metal grate and turned a large valve. Natural gas freely flowed and then ignited beneath the child.

In seconds the metal grate changed to raging inferno. They reverently listened to the terrified screams of the baby until the screams finally fell to an eerie silence.

Imagine that conversation today before a live studio audience broadcast nationwide. The audience would be in shock and rage at such an event.

But then imagine a woman on the same show saying, “my body, my rights.” No, wait, we don’t have to imagine something like that. We see it every day. Her statement is usually followed by loud applause.

On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court ruled that the child in the mother’s womb is not a “person.” Therefore that child has no rights under the Constitution of the United States.

Since 1973 we have seen astounding advances in science and technology. The invention of the sonogram allows someone to learn of the gender of a child long before birth.

This has led to a new line of business for party and event planners. The “reveal party” now is a part of our culture where an expectant couple holds friends and family in suspense before revealing the gender of the baby, still months before birth.

We have a generation of children who grew up seeing sonogram images of little brother or sister. America’s plea of ignorance on the question of when life begins was weak in 1973. There is no basis for a plea of ignorance today.

The five year old brother standing in awe before the refrigerator looking first at his mother’s growing stomach and then at the sonogram image of his little sister taped to the refrigerator door instinctively knows better. We know better too, and we are accountable.

Just a matter of weeks ago, the state legislature in Ohio passed a bill that prohibited an abortion after the detection of a heartbeat in the baby. A heartbeat is a basic sign of life. Checking for a pulse is one of the immediate actions taken by a first responder at the scene of an accident.

Lawmakers in Ohio recognized that basic sign of life. They overwhelmingly passed a law recognizing that a child with a heartbeat had the right to live.

Governor John Kasich, a Republican, vetoed the bill. His reasoning relied on an outdated Supreme Court ruling.

Instead of standing for life and challenging the ruling, he unconditionally surrendered and vetoed the bill. Kasich claims to be pro-life. He ran as a pro-life candidate.

When it came down to it, Kasich thrust aside his trust and reliance in the infallible Supreme Ruler of the Universe. He bowed before black-robed fallible, human beings, and a terribly flawed ruling.

Each of the two major political parties have taken a clear position on an unborn child’s right to life. They published their positions in their campaign platforms for all to see.

The Democrats want to provide tax funding for abortion on demand. The Republican platform stands on the side of the child clearly stating “The unborn child has a fundamental right to life which cannot be infringed.”

Democrats also stand to defend the horrific practices of Planned Parenthood. “We will continue to stand up to Republican efforts to defund Planned Parenthood health centers.” Republicans call for the defunding Planned Parenthood and “to make it a crime to acquire, transfer, or sell fetal tissues from elective abortions for research.”

As if mere killing was not enough, Planned Parenthood and other organizations determined that if they killed the baby in just the right manner, they could butcher the body and sell the parts to highest bidder. With every innocent life brutally dismembered, there is a terrified, helpless, cry from a child fighting for his or her very life.

Those cries fall on deaf human ears. Be assured that God is not deaf. The cries of the millions of innocent babies callously killed as if a sacrifice to a god of convenience rise to His throne of justice.

Our nation cannot continue down this path without consequence. The just and righteous Creator who watched over us and formed this nation of freedom is filled with grace beyond all measure. He is also a God of justice who will pour out His wrath.

God cares enough to warn those who make fun of a deaf or blind person. How much more does He have to say to a nation with the blood of over 60 million innocent lives on its hands?

Here is a clear warning. “It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Hebrews 10:31) America had best heed the warning.

Kick the Can – Episode 186

Congress hit the playing field for its favorite game, “Kick the Can.” After 185 grueling matches, they were pumped and ready to go.

The Senate kicked off with a continuing resolution that would keep the government going for seven more weeks, until February 7, 2018. It was passed by voice vote so we do not know how each member voted.

This is typical cowardly politics. If the House makes any changes, the resolution will come back to the Senate. They need to have a roll call vote so every Senator is accountable.

The House has possession and expected to have a wide open field to quickly seal the deal. Some Freedom Caucus members; however, are not going with the deal and will make a goal line stand to try to run out the clock.

Congressman Mark Meadows sent a pointed and common sense tweet:

“Punting to Feb. 8 on a CR not only gives Democrats a Christmas present, it offers them a Valentine’s Day gift. Democrats will win, the wall will not be built, and Congress will once again have punted when we should’ve been taking a stand. The time to fight is now. Zero excuse.”
Even though Republicans hold a majority in the Senate, Democrats can block any legislation with just 40 votes. So, in reality, it takes 60 votes to get anything past the Senate.

Republicans say that they cannot get those 60 votes. The next Senate will have a stronger Republican majority but still will not have 60 votes. The next House will be in the Democrat control so Nancy Pelosi will just stop any legislation there.

So, let’s keep this simple. President Trump said that he wants a wall.

This is what he said to Pelosi and Schumer on December 11, ” If we don’t get what we want one way or the other, whether it’s through you, through a military, through anything you want to call, I will shut down the government.”

Five billion is the cost for building the wall. Five billion is pocket change relative to the budget. Republicans could put that in the budget.

Today it would pass the House. Then in the Senate, the Democrats would threaten to refuse to act. If the President did not sign a budget by midnight tomorrow, the funding would lapse.

Critical government functions would continue and non-critical functions would not. We are right in the middle of Christmas holidays so the reality is that no one would even notice that the government was “shut down.”

So, Republican “leadership” strikes a great compromise without even trying. They would rather play kick the can, than take a stand and get the job done.

There is one issue and only one issue that is holding things up. Put 5 billion in the budget to build the wall.

I saw reports of some Republican leaders saying that they did not know what the White House wanted. It appears that they don’t know because they don’t want to know.

President Trump has been clear. The American people know what he wants. Fund the (expletive deleted) wall!

If Republicans in Congress will take a stand, President Trump will have their backs and the wall would be funded.

Their 186th episode of kick the can reveals that while Trump has their back, Republican leaders in Congress don’t have his.

Mr. Bishop Fund that Wall

An open letter to Congressman Sanford Bishop, Democrat – 2nd District of Georgia

Dear Congressman Bishop,

We heard the tragic news of the murder of Mollie Tibbetts yesterday. As a nation, we have watched the news and prayed since her disappearance over a month ago. Hope had grown dim and then our greatest fears were confirmed when police announced that they found her body.

As if to stab another wound, we learned that the murderer was an illegal alien. The man who murdered Mollie Tibbetts did not murder her because he was an illegal alien. But he was in the place to murder her because he was an illegal alien. If our borders were secure, he would not have been in Iowa and Mollie Tibbetts would have finished her jog with no incident.

I was sickened to hear Democrat Senator Warren say that she was so sorry for the Tibbetts family, but “One of the things we have to remember is we need an immigration system that is effective, that focuses on where real problems are.” She went on to talk about the separation of children from their parents at the border and concluded, “Separating a mama from a baby does not make this country safer.” Mollie Tibbetts was her mama’s baby who is separated with no reunification in this lifetime.

President Trump has been the only President who has seriously addressed border security. Your Democrat party has stood against him at every turn. It has been long past time for you to change your position. I ask you to stand up for President Trump.

The people of the 2nd district are proud, patriotic, Americans. We welcome legal migration to our nation. We want to see an immigration system that is faster, friendlier, and easier for those who seek the American Dream. We want them to come, live, grow a family, and become a part of the great melting pot of America. Those who seek liberty, who seek opportunity, who seek to make a better life for themselves and their communities are welcome. Those who stand in honor and respect when the American Flag passes by are embraced and accepted as our American brothers and sisters.

We do not welcome illegal immigration. We want it stopped. President Trump is doing his best to stop illegal immigration and yet you and the Democrats actively work against every move.

Many Democrats called to abolish the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Members of the US House of Representatives responded to these insulting calls by introducting a resolution expressing support and thanks for the work of ICE. You voted, “PRESENT.”

You refused to express appreciation and support for our law enforcement officers charged with protecting our borders. I wonder when you have last been in Southwest Georgia. In every community there are signs posted that read, “Back the Blue.” Have you not seen them? There are more of them than there are of your campaign signs.

How dare you refuse to support ICE? If you cannot support them, then at least be honest and vote NO on the resolution. But you did neither.

“PRESENT” tells me that you are more interested in what your Washington friends think than you are in what your constituents think. It also tells me that you are afraid to take a position. That is why you are in congress. It looks to me like you are only interested in holding your position in Washington rather than taking a position to represent your district.

You have an opportunity to change that perception. Take a close look at this picture of Mollie Tibbetts. Realize that this could have just as easily been a student from Columbus State University, Albany State University, Southwestern State University, Fort Valley State University, Middle Georgia State College or Bainbridge State College.

One of the bills coming before you in the next few weeks will include budget to support President Trump to build a wall and tighten border security. Do not merely vote “Present.” Do not make excuses. Do not offer Washington doublespeak. As your constituent, I have one simple request when it comes before you. Mr. Bishop, fund that wall!
