Congressman Austin Scott Dares to Call it Discrimination

Watch my video commentary. Only 3 minutes and it adds so much more than reading the text. 

If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, it is a duck. 8th District Congressman Austin Scott dared to call out discrimination in the $1.9 trillion so-called Covid relief bill. He wrote an editorial entitled, “Woke Coke Wants Reparations, and Biden’s COVID Relief Bill Delivers Them.”

Bills in Congress usually have deceptive titles. “The American Rescue Act of 2021” is no exception. A more accurate name would be, Continue reading

Covid Vaccinations Done Right

Don Cole shares his experience with getting a Covid-19 vaccination

Proverbs 3:27 says, “Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in your power to do it.”

We all have the power to say good words and show our appreciation. Crisp & Dooly County Health Departments are definitely due some good words. In fact Chick-fil-A should be a little bit envious of them. Continue reading

Where to Now?

The “Hate Donald Trump” show in Congress dropped the curtain on its final act. Donald Trump was acquitted in the Senate trial and that saga is finally over for now at least.

The proceedings were called an impeachment but that is a misnomer. An impeachment is a trial to remove a current office holder from office. Continue reading

Vets to Vote

Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient Retired USMC Major General James E. Livingston

I am a veteran and I vote. I served four years in the US Army, two in the Panama Canal Zone and two at Hunter Army Air Field in Savannah.

Yeah, I Said That

Honorable Brian Kemp, Governor
206 Washington Street
Suite 203, State Capitol
Atlanta, GA 30334

December 19, 2020

Dear Governor Kemp,

Call a special session of the Georgia Legislature. Since November 3, we have heard repeatedly “there is no credible evidence” of widespread fraud that would change the outcome of the election.

What is the basis for that statement? Has there been a court case that actually ruled on the factual claims? Continue reading

The Empty Chair – 2020

I first wrote this article in 2016. Since that time I know many who have lost loved ones.

2020 has been a particularly brutal year with a pandemic that crushed lives both directly and indirectly. This is the first Christmas season without their loved one for some. If you are one of those missing a loved one, this is for you.

Christmas is supposed to be a time of great joy and happiness. This year is different for many. You probably know some for whom it is different but do not realize it, or maybe it just slips past you in all the hustle and bustle of the year. It is quite possible that you are one of those for whom Christmas is different. Continue reading

Restore Confidence for January 5 Runoff

There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that confidence in our elections administration in Georgia is in the gutter. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger can issue all the announcements he wants about how secure the election was but he may as well be saying that professional wrestling is real. There are more eyeballs rolling at his announcements than there are wheels on rolling on I-75. Continue reading

The Rule of Law and Where We Need to Focus

Why not “do the right thing and concede?” Is it not for the “good of the nation?” After all, Nixon conceded to Kennedy when there were serious questions about Cook County, Illinois.

This is the question raised by so-called moderates. Some Republicans joined the chorus, but fortunately, most Republicans have not. Continue reading
