The New World Order Has Arrived Locally

“The New World Order Has Arrived Locally”


Those who have planned the chaos and destruction that has been occurring in America as of late are taking the plans directly from the writings of Karl Marx and Adolph Hitler.  There are directions on how to deceive the populace in both writings that are in play today.  Division, lies, and domination are key to what is going on today.  By dividing the people then they are being conquered.  Lying to them to create an atmosphere of lawlessness by telling the weak-minded that authority is bad and the police are not needed.  Dominating certain parts of the population by subversive techniques to brainwash those who have no clue what is happening.  Tell those who they can manipulate that statues are bad.  Tell them they are a sign of fear.  Not only those of the Confederacy, but of Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Christopher Columbus, Gandhi, Jesus, Francis Scott Key, and many more.  They are focusing on the statues of those who are important in the formation of the nation and of the morals that people should live by.  Attacking religious figures for what reason?  For control of the mind.  They are indoctrinating our young people in the schools and universities that the old are bad and they are better.  Those who are being deceived by the New World Order don’t realize that after the world is brought under domination they will no longer be needed and will more than likely either be enslaved or eliminated.   The New World Order used those in China to create a bioweapon we call Covid-19.   Thus, further spreading death, confusion, and division in the world.  Those who see what is happening are many times attacked and even killed or have a convenient accident.  It is time to wake that sleeping giant to what is happening in the world today, both locally and nationally.  Destruction from within is what was promised and it is being carried out systematically by those who want control of not only the United States but the world.  Citizens must be vigilant and aware of their surroundings as they will be targeted by these New World Order worker drones.   They use the moniker of Black Lives Matter, The National Communist Workers Party, and Antifa.  Think about who is funding these groups, those in the New World Order.  We the People need to remember that if we fall then the world will turn into a place of fear, ruin, and warlords who will kill and hurt to remain in control and in power.  It is all about power and control, remember that.

Henry School System Commits Child and Elderly Abuse

Henry School System Commits Child and Elderly Abuse

Early in 2002, a child was born into my family, a beautiful little girl. I helped to raise this little girl I watched her grow into a thriving little toddler going off to school to learn so she can be a great citizen of society. She went through Middle School on her way to becoming a teenager and later on an adult. She started High School and was going to graduate in the year 2020. All of us and the family are so proud of her and her accomplishments that she has made and as the school year was ending we began to prepare for her graduation in 2019. I purchased a four-wheeled walker so I would be able to walk to the stadium at the high school to be able to watch her graduate and receive her diploma. You see I suffer from neuropathy in my legs to the point that they are numb and I must have help to be able to walk and keep my balance not to mention suffering from heart failure which limits my breathing. Everything was going great until the pandemic here in early 2020. Then, everything changed the last part of her senior year. When the school system did not know how to handle this they finally decided on a plan so that they can still graduate and walk across the stage with their diploma. However, they decided not to have it at the stadium of the high school. They decided to have a grand place for graduation. They decided to have the graduation ceremony at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. A very large place that one must have to walk at least half a mile to get to the stadium itself. something that I could not do even with my walker. so I set out to find out if they would have shuttle buses or anything to help the disabled to get to the seats. I contacted the head of the school multiple times without an answer.  That is a sad state when a principal of a school will not help a disabled person to be able to see a loved one graduate high school. I tried to contact individuals at the school board, but no one answered my emails or phone calls. Calls to the Atlanta Motor Speedway we're never answered by anybody. it was as if they did not want disabled people to attend the event. This is a sad state that our community is in when the disabled are treated like we are not wanted.
So, on the night of her graduation, I was forced by the Henry County School System to sit at a computer and watch it online and not in person to be there for her. You do not understand how much this hurts. This is an event that I can never get back nor my loved one. This was a once-in-a-lifetime event for both of us and it is gone forever. And in this regard, the Henry County School System committed child and elderly abuse.  I ask you if you are reading this please call, email or whatever you can do to get in touch with the Henry County School System and let them know you are very disappointed and they're inactions to assist the disabled at the graduation ceremonies of 2020. As a result of this inaction by the Henry County School System, I would like to see the school system disbanded and restructured with new personnel that hopefully have a heart. I would also like to see the particular principal involved fired on the spot. Hopefully, this will not happen in the future and disrupt other people's lives by missing such an important event.

JFK'S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early '60s when DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible. Rusk responded, "Does that include those who are buried here?"
DeGaulle did not respond.

When in England, at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of 'empire building' by George Bush.
He answered by saying, "Over the years, the United States has sent many of Its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for In return is enough to bury those that did not return."

There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, One of the French engineers came back into the room saying, "Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to do, bomb them?" A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: "Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from seawater each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships. How many does France have?"

A U.S. Navy admiral was attending a naval conference that included admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French
navies at a cocktail reception. He found himself standing with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks when a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, "Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?" Without hesitating, the American admiral replied, "Maybe it's because the Brit's, Canadians, Aussie's and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German."

The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it." "Impossible. Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France !" The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, ''Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to."

Citizens Are Wanting Answers To Some Issues about Nash Farm

“Citizens Are Wanting Answers To Some Issues about Nash Farm”


With all the issues that have come before about this piece of land in the 2nd district of Henry County from the way it was purchased to all the other issues that have been connected to this property, here are more questions that need answering.  Why would a couple who work for the county be granted a token rental deal on the cottage home at Nash Farm?  Why would the local farmer who has had farmers market sales at Nash Farm for a sweetheart deal and sits on a county board be allowed to do this?  It legal wranglings this is called nepotism.  Also, why should the taxpayers of Henry County be put upon to pay for a company to put an ice skating rink on the property?  That company will make money at the expense of the people of the county.  They are not paying the county the county is paying them and there are several concerns about the rink itself.  The following is a FOIA information by local citizens.

 “Caretaker’s Cottage” on the Nash Farms property at 24 Babb’s Mill RD.

According to the Henry County records the house is being rented for $200.00 per month to two Henry County Parks and Recreation Employees, a Supervisor II with a salary of $45,659.83 and a Program Administrator, with a salary of $40,430.00 that is a combined income of $86,089.83.



This lease was implemented in 2008 and it appears to have not been reviewed and adjusted since then.

Which brings me to several questions:

1. Why hasn’t the rental rate been adjusted to today’s market values?

2. How is this house marketed for rent?

3. Who determines who qualifies to rent?

4. Who sets the rent value? (BOC)

5.Why are we renting to these County Employees with a combined income greater than $86,000.00 annually? In my opinion this creates a conflict of interest due to the fact not all Henry County employees have the option to rent this property.

6. Why isn’t this property with rent this low offered to a person on Social Security with an income level of less than $12,000.00 a year?

It appears to me that this is an unrealistic rental rate to County employees with their income levels is political motivated in nature.

Let me state, if the current rental price remains the same for 2020, my sister that has lived in Henry County in a trailer park for 30 years and has an annual income of $12,000.00 in social security has a desire to rent this property for $200.00 a month upon the renewal of the lease in 2020.

Since, obviously you have not checked into this issue, I will supply this information I have checked and found for an average house rental in Henry County is approximately $1,299 for 3 beds and that's $170 below the national average rent of $1,469.

So, $200.00 rental a month is $1,099.00 below the fair market value. That is a $145,068 savings for the tenant over the eleven years as a tenant. (sweet deal no wonder we have a Corvette in the carport).

Now the issue of the Ice Skating Rink

1. Henry County entered into a Contract with Ice Days LLC to erect an Ice Skating Rink at a cost of under number 5 of the Contract Header Terms. “The initial term of this Agreement is for the 2019-2020. County agrees to pay Company the sum of $35,000 due upon contract acceptance for the first season. Each consecutive season up to 4 pending approval by the Board of Commissioners will cost $20,000. Each consecutive season must be approved no later than 45 days after the completion of the previous season and payment made by August 1st to guarantee our ability to return at that rate.”

My question is: Who was appointed to make the decision to negotiate this terrible deal for the citizens and why? Why aren’t they paying us?

2. Contract Header number 10 Rental Fee. “County and Company agree no rental fee is to be paid by Company for use of the premises for the duration of this contract. In exchange Company agrees to provide 4 dasher wall spaces for advertisement to the County.”

My question since, the Board of Commissioners has no product or business and is not in the Advertising business, what would we be advertising? Who would be authorized to advertise and by whom? Who with the County will review the Advertisers ad to make sure it is not Political advertising? Who will get all the proceeds from all the other advertisers on the walls? The most important question of all why aren’t they paying us?

I was on site and observed the installation of the floor for the rink and have some serious question concerning the safety of this installation. The floor deck consists of 4X8 sheets of plywood panels with concrete block support for leveling. I observed no interlocking devices connecting the panels together to keeping them from separating during peak usage by the public.

Was the installation inspected by any Professional Engineers? If so, where can I get a copy of the report?

Before any public us of this platform and due to the high liability, it should without question be inspected by a Certified Registered Professional Engineer to certify the safety of this structure.

I was on site Friday November 22, Saturday 23, Sunday 24 and the construction of the structure was still not complete, nor where there any installation personal on site. That breaches this contract by violating paragraph “3” in the agreement grand opening date for the term shall be Friday, November 22, 2019”. The power Company had made their connection to the new 3 phase electrical panel that cost the citizens $8,000.00 on Friday.

Why didn’t the Vendor pay for this installation? Who will pay the additional power bill associated with the extra power usage?

Contract Header number 3 “Use of County Property by Company for Ice Skating Rink. County shall make available to Company the use of the Premises consistent with the Operating Agreement for installation and operation of the Ice Skating Rink on the Premises during the Season in which this Agreement is in effect. County shall make such space available to Company for installation of the Ice-Skating Rink Twenty Eight calendar days in advance of the agreed upon opening day of the term. Barring unforeseen weather and or construction delays out of Company control the grand opening date for the term shall be Friday, November 22, 2019”

These are just a few of my concerns and ask that the BOC reexamine and cancel this contract. Please respond with any resolution that you will take to rectify my safety concerns for the citizens that will be unknowing use the venue without knowing if it is safe or not.

No real answers have been provided by the BoC in these matters which continues the pattern of past BoC members.

Vote No for SPLOST V

"Vote No for SPLOST V"

This idea of a SPLOST V is an ongoing slush fund for those elected officials who do well to shine their seats at meetings. When SPLOST I was initiated so many years ago it was only supposed to last for a specified time and then go away.  It was supposed to be used to fix some roads and other facilities.  Well, that didn’t pan out too well because there are still projects today that are not finished from SPLOST I, II, III or IV.  And guess what, if you vote for another SPLOST V tax then there will be projects to add to the unfinished list.  The elected officials found an easy way to garner cash from the taxpayers with this type of money accumulation.  If they want something done why not put out bonds or get a loan.  They are already taking in a ton of money on property taxes, sales taxes, car tag taxes, fuel taxes and don’t forget school taxes that go to the Board of Education.  Yes, the citizens of Henry County are taxed to death and they want to keep on with another tax.  They threaten you with your property taxes will go up.  Guess what Sherlock, they already have gone up.  The millage rate may be the same, but those evaluations on prime properties went up.  As long as the voters continue to vote for a SPLOST there will always be one on the ballot whether you really need it or not.  How about the traffic in the county? Are you loving it, guess what some of the previous SPLOST projects that weren’t finished were supposed to help with fixing the traffic problems.  Some of those funds were transferred to other areas.  Why you may ask? To help those in those seats politically.  They used to go out and arrest people in the old days for what these people are doing to the citizens.  It was called all types of names anything from swindling, bunco, the pyramid scheme, racketeering, and many other names, especially during the gangland days of Chicago and New York.  Today it is for the children, the elderly, for physical fitness and for your pets.   They want to take your money for a privately owned water park.  The county attorney has already seen problems with this whole scenario because he knows it will come back to bite them in the backside.  If you want to do something good for yourselves and the county VOTE NO FOR SPLOST V.

The Future Maintenance of Projects

“The Future Maintenance of Projects”

The SPLOST V project list contains an option that should be handled by a private entity.  The aquatic center has been on the dream list many times around and it is yet to see the light of day.  Knowing the track record of the BoC these projects have a good chance of not being done so as to transfer the money to other areas that were not voted on by the citizens.  Yes, they will ask and promote these things yet cannot fix the parks that they already have in the county.  Maintaining the parks is an expensive endeavor and yes you the taxpayer are on the hook to pay for all this, in the long run, many times over.  For example, they set aside $2 million for a ball field and park.  Then, over the years it will cost far more than that to maintain by hiring staff and the future costs of building materials will go up.  That leaves the citizens with bills long after those in elected office have retired to another state.  If they are not properly maintained they will fall apart and you then have nothing.  Don’t let those in power leave you like a deer in the headlights with a debt they created for their own gain. Whether it is political or monetary gain to friends the money is a bottomless pit for those who pretend to know what they are doing.  Get out and vote NO for SPLOST V.

The People Need To Do Their Homework On SPLOST

“The People Need To Do Their Homework On SPLOST”


The people need to do their homework on the SPLOST V proposal that is on the ballot.  Go back and look at the BoC Meeting held on June 18, 2019.  In this meeting, the commissioners approved a one-page Resolution 19-163 where they called for a new SPLOST  program.  Eleven days later on July 29, 2019, the BoC again discussed the projects that would be on the list.  The Staff requested a $30 million bond also for the ballot.  After they discussed all this, they approved something.  You have to look closely to see what type of smoke and mirrors they are playing within this discussion.  During the meeting, the county manager said that the resolution had to be to the election board by August 1, 2019 to be placed on the ballot.  The strange thing is no written resolution shown or was one offered.  Normally these are shown to the public.  Then came the August 20, 2019 BoC meeting where the county attorney said that even though the BoC approved a motion that was to be a resolution to meet the requirements of SPLOST law, it was merely a motion and not a written resolution.  He requested the board rescind the resolution that was not in writing and approve his 13-page resolution.  After some commissioners questioned the validity of the projects it was approved.  Now the question begs to be answered is this resolution legally valid for the ballot?  Since the resolution had to be done by August 1st and was not done until August 20th.  How could it be on the ballot? This is a very good reason to Vote NO on SPLOST V.

Here is why not to vote for SPLOST V

“Here is why not to vote for SPLOST V”


It is being revealed every day that the former SPLOST programs voted on by the citizens have either been wasted in many cases or never finished as promised.  For example, the money that should have gone to the Hampton Senior Center was diverted elsewhere and the final building was not what was promised.  Yet the county bought the center in Locust Grove because the city could not afford what they built.  So, the Hampton money went to them.  That is not right.  The SPLOST was not designed to be handled like they have done ever since its inception.  The people of Henry County voted for SPLOST IV which included $5 million for a study on the interchange to be built on Bethlehem Rd at I-75 to divert truck traffic in the area.  But the three democrats on the BoC decided recently to take this off the ARC wish list for Henry County.  Why?  Who told them not to put it on there?  The BoC Chair said there are no plans for an inland port on Bethlehem Rd.  Why did Norfolk Southern Railroad buy all the land between Hwy 42 and I-75 on the northside of Bethlehem Rd?  Discussions were had about a decade ago about them building an intermodal train yard there for shipping trailers brought in from Savannah to be put on trucks to go across the southeast.  They would need the exit at Bethlehem Rd to handle all this traffic.  This was part of the agenda back then and the intent would be for this to be built in 20-25 years from that time.  The Chair of the BoC needs to learn the difference between an inland port and an intermodal rail yard.  If these commissioners can do no better than what they have done since they have been in office then it is a good idea to Vote NO on SPLOST V in November.  It is not for the children that is for sure.

People Making Money With SPLOST

Those of us who don’t want another SPLOST in Henry County understand that there are people who do want the SPLOST.  Some give reasons that are tailor-made responses being passed around by the group that wants the SPLOST.  Another group of people are voicing their approval of the SPLOST and trying to make John Q Public think it is a wonderful idea.  But what is troubling is that some of these who are pushing for the SPLOST are making money off the SPLOST that is put in by the taxpayers of the county and from outside the county.  Sure they want the SPLOST so they can build the line share of the large ticket items on the project list.  And what does this show?  It speaks of greed, gall, ego and above all deception.  The old cliches about why we need a SPLOST have worn old when we finally see where the money taken in goes.  It looks bad to see people promote a SPLOST and then benefit personally from it, especially those out there having a hard time making ends meet.  We hear from those who have relatives working on the SPLOST committees that just a few short years ago raised the roof about the SPLOST.  This tax is a slush fund for the mediocre leadership in office and those who benefit from it that have ties to the leadership.  It has been a never-ending trip down the rabbit hole to a bottomless pit and the projects are not completed and some go back several years.  Just keep in mind, you get what you vote for in office.  It is time to cut the ties between them and the slush fund.  Vote NO For SPLOST V.

Malfunction Junction and They Want Your Money?

“Malfunction Junction and They Want Your Money?”

The Henry County Board of Commissioners recently voted to not approve the Bethlehem Road exit for I-75 on the proposed SPLOST V list for the ARC.  The Board had it put on the SPLOST IV ballot about five years ago.  Now they don’t want to follow through on it.  This is why you don’t need to continue a SPLOST program because they are sending your money down a rabbit hole to nowhere.

Even Commissioner Gary Barham made the following statement at the meeting:

“Gary Barham noted that funding for the interchange was clearly defined on the last SPLOST program approved by voters several years ago. “We can’t ask voters to approve SPLOST V if we can’t follow through with SPLOST IV projects,” he said.”

The three voting block commissioners who have their own agenda and like to travel to Washington for training for African-American politicians made sure to block the vote by voting against the interchange.  Little do they know that Norfolk Southern who owns a vast amount of property in that area plans to build an inland container port there.  This is a Federal project and when the railroad wants something they will get it regardless of the petty commissioners.  That interchange will go in and someone’s tax dollars will pay for it.  

Those who are handling your money on the BoC cannot be trusted to open an umbrella much less than to handle your money that is so hard to earn.  VOTE NO ON SPLOST V.  This has to end.

Too Many Cronies Have Hands in the Cookie Jar

“Too Many Cronies Have Hands in the Cookie Jar”

The best thing a voter can do this year at the polls in Henry County is to vote no for another SPLOST.  They call it SPLOST V and it is just another way for the commissioners to have a private slush fund on you the taxpayer.  And they said your property taxes will go up without it.  Guess what, they are anyway.  With the increase in valuation of the property your taxes are going to be higher.  They love to throw out that veiled threat every time this subject comes up.  Just follow the money and see where the funds have gone in years past.  The rules are plain and simple on SPLOST.  A list of projects is supposed to be approved by the voters.  But in years past much of this money was not all used, many projects haven’t gotten done from earlier SPLOST’s, and where is all this going?  It is going down a rabbit hole or abyss to nowhere.  It also laughable that those who are encouraging people to vote for SPLOST such as the Chamber of Commerce, those barking it up are those who work for the Chamber.  This cash cow is going to be even larger this time around.  Remember all that is built and approved through SPLOST must be maintained over the years by guess who, yes you the taxpayers.  Don’t let a mere 8-10% of the registered voters get away with pushing this multi million dollar tax extension any further.  This has to end so the taxpayers can have a little piece of mind.  Think about this: there are plenty of county roads that need widening and improving.  Monies have been set aside from earlier SPLOST and there are still dirt roads in the county and Why?  The county is a giant bureaucracy that is continuing to spiral out of control.  Those on the commission have let you all down by not doing their due diligence.  There is a commissioner who several people in the Stockbridge area have contacted about a proposed development on Miller’s Mill Rd and this commissioner apparently feels it is beneath them to answer those constituents.  Remember and keep notes as to what these BoC types are doing when the next elections come around.  If they can be elected they can be defeated at the polls.  The people of Henry County who work hard all week, come home and have to deal with crime, and roads that you can’t move on want better.  It is time for the people of Henry County to take the county back away from those who don’t care what happens on the local level.  They are all ladder climbers waiting to move up that next wrung.  If you go to the polls and  vote for this SPLOST and you feel something hit you in the back it will be your change. Because all you are doing is giving in to those who are laughing all the way to the bank.  Step up and remember these words  We the People and we want our rights restored that have been systematically removed from the local level to the halls in Washington where many of those there today began on the local level.  Vote No For SPLOST V in Henry County for the betterment of the county and it’s taxpayers.

Eighteen Years Of Sorrow And Heartache

It’s been eighteen years since I lost the love of my life Lisa in the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001. I have been through every emotion you can imagine and some you can’t. I think of her every day of my life and I miss her so much that it hurts my very soul. My life has changed so much since that day, I am not the same person I was before the attacks that took her away. 

I see my country going down a path of destruction that we may not be able to stop. We are seeing the very kind of people that killed Lisa being elected to public office and that is wrong on so many levels. Seeing this hurts so much. But what hurts me more is people that I thought were my friends have turned out to be just as bad as the terrorists themselves. You see showing the photos and videos of the towers on fire and falling down is very, very hard for the people to see that lost loved ones. I have written a blog about why they should not be posting photos and videos of the event. But they are so ignorant and stupid they keep doing the same thing to try and get a political message out. It shows a lack of intelligence on their part that they have to use the photos instead of their words to get their point across. These people need to be ostracized from the community for being just as bad as the terrorists.

Sweetheart, I miss you so much I think of you every day. I remember all of our plans for our life together. I remember you designing our house your dad was going to have built for us. We were on track to a great life together as man and wife and a few kids. I miss holding you in my arms and telling you how much I love you. When I was hurt in the line of duty you stood by me and told me we would work it out because I was your everything in your life. You told me we would have a beautiful life together full of love and grace. But that did not happen for us. I guess I am still bitter about losing you because I love you so much and would do anything for you. If I could I would have taken your place, but I feel a part of me died that day too. I will never be the same and I will never be happy for the rest of my life. I lost my best friend and my love of a lifetime. I love you, darling.

More Court Action For Stockbridge?

More Court Action For Stockbridge?

It looks like there will be more Court action for the city of Stockbridge. After a fiery debate at the July 30th 2019 work session meeting. Near the end of the meeting the city council took up a resolution to censure councilman Alexander. the censure came on the heels of an article in the Henry Daily Herald about councilman Alexander falsely accusing the city council members of not supporting certain initiatives that he believes should be front and center. The initiatives are a senior center and youth center for the citizens of Stockbridge. Councilman Alexander on his Facebook page said that the city council did not support the centers to be built. In actuality the city council does support the centers to be built, however they must go through a process in order for it to be done legally.  Councilman Alexander in the past has done things like this on his Facebook account that has led him to be censured before. Councilwoman Gantt read the censure document however she was constantly being interrupted by councilman Alexander at one point councilman Alexander held a manila folder up to his face while still interrupting councilwoman Gantt. This shows councilman Alexander's lack of moral fiber in conducting himself as an adult. It seems to this writer he acts more like a child who has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar and does not want to face the consequences of his actions. At multiple points in the meeting it appeared to be a free-for-all as the mayor seemed to not have the meeting in control and was flabbergasted at the whole situation asking multiple times of the City attorney what he should do. 

During councilman Alexander's rebuttal of the charges he kept saying that his first amendment rights were being violated.  Councilman Alexander does not understand the Constitution of the United States of America of which he swore to uphold when he became a councilman. He does not believe in freedom of speech I know this first-hand. when I ask to speak to the city council to request a Confederate Memorial Day Proclamation he set out to not have me speak at all and he has boasted about that on his Facebook page. Councilman Alexander kept requesting that his Facebook postings were private.  Councilman Alexander in the opinion of this writer is a moron and should be thrown out of office. Councilman Alexander  has disrupted the city workings of Stockbridge since he became a councilman nearly four years ago. It is because of him that the city has been in court on numerous occasions and it appears now they will be headed back to court. Councilman Alexander said at this meeting he will take the city to court for violating his First Amendment rights to free speech. One can only hope that the judge will see through the shenanigans of councilman Alexander and maybe just throw him in jail and throw away the key or find a nice padded cell for him that would be the best thing for Stockbridge and her citizens.  Stockbridge you can do a lot better than councilman Alexander.  A bowl of limp noodles would be better in my opinion.

What Is Wrong With People Today

What Is Wrong With People Today

I grew up in the 70’s and early 80’s. I remember back then people were different than they are today and it’s not for the better. Back then you could count on your neighbors and friends to help out when times were tough. We came together to help each other when someone got sick or lost a job and needed to get food people would help them out without even being asked. I remember helping friends and family as a child and it always felt good to be able to help. I also remember being down to having to pick up aluminum cans so we could eat breakfast that day. I have been on both sides of being poor and being okay and just getting by. 

Six years in Federal Law enforcement I have seen some ugly things that would turn your stomach and make a maggot puke. But what I am seeing today makes me sick down to the core of my being. That is the war that is being waged on poor people by people that call themselves Christians, but they are far from it. 

For some time I have been trying to sell a few things so I can get the house that I have paid for while being on disability in my name. The people that I bought it from died and their children can’t be found. So, to get the home in my name I have to go to the courts to get a judge to sign off on it. This costs money as well as what I have to pay my attorney. To pay for my home I sacrificed a lot. I lived on bologna sandwiches, I cut my utilities down as much as I could. As for a social life I had none, no movies, eating out was not done. All this took a toll on my health. I have heart failure, I am diabetic that has caused my feet and legs to go numb so walking is hard and is getting harder every day. 

I have sold only one thing on Facebook. In my posts, I ask people to share the post if they are not interested in what I have for sale so more people would see it. But only two-three have done so. No one seems to care whatsoever, no one even asked how I am doing with it. I even posted a poll to ask what I should do. I got one saying I should not start a go fund me to see if I could get donations. One said yes and about four said to do both sales and do the go fund me, I even had one said who cares. 

What hurts the most is that when I post something about my love I lost on 9/11 just a few of my so-called friends say or do anything on the post, that I will not stand for at all. When my Cousin Mike Moon moved from next door from me he asked four of our friends to keep a check on me to make sure I was okay. That was three plus years ago and only one of our friends has done that. The other three I have not heard from them, but one did call me because they wanted me to do something for them. Note get this one friend lives about 200 yards from me and I have not heard not one thing from them at all. It reminds me of what my Mom would say that they are just “two-faced sons of bitches”. 

I have run tests on Facebook with the help of a family member that we both have a good number of friends in common. We post the same thing like a photo of the American flag or a puppy. We give it 24 to 48 hours and look at the results. The family member would have a lot more likes than my post sometimes 4 to 1 or more. Sometimes I would get nothing at all. That tells me something about most of our friends we share please note I said most not all. For me, it’s not about being popular I just don’t want to be ignored. Sometimes I post very important stuff and it is ignored with no likes. I could understand if I had done something wrong to someone, but I try to help anyone I can. It makes no sense to a sane person that would like to help and now needs some help. I am at my wit's end as to what is wrong with people cause I know it’s not me, I have done my best to help others. People need to start acting right and stop acting like a child who wants his way all the time. Act more like a Christian and God would look on you with more favor.

Commissioners Needs To Help Our Police Department

The citizens have time to think about the safety and welfare of the community as a whole.  Not just the average people on the street, but those who the county hires to protect these citizens.  The Henry County Government is doing a poor job at providing the necessary items that the police department needs to do their job properly.  They are doing an outstanding job with the tools they have currently, but at a shortage of personnel and proper equipment.  This became apparent recently when a hostage standoff occurred and two of the HCPD swat team members were wounded.  It doesn't look good for other jurisdictions to have to come and take care of a problem in the county.  It takes away from the security of those other jurisdictions.  The Henry County Board of Commissioners need to provide more funds to equip and train our police better and to hire more people to do the job properly.  This has been an ongoing problem with the county for some time now.  These people in blue deserve better.  If those on the Board of Commissioners cannot provide the needed funds for these people  then, there needs to be a better Board of Commissioners elected to do the right job for the citizens of this county.

The People Now See That Racism is Ruling The BoC About Nash Farm

 "The People Now See That Racism is Ruling The BoC About Nash Farm"
At the March 19, 2019, Henry BoC Meeting, the commissioners heard from Parks and Recreation Director Tim Coley about the upcoming Southern Jubilee Festival and Civil War Re-enactment that goes along with it.  According to the ordinances of Henry County they have to come to the BoC to ask if they can use black powder for the guns and cannons that will be used in the re-enactment.  The board voted 3 to 3 which caused the question to fail clearly along racial lines.  You can't have a re-enactment without the guns.  There would be no bullets or cannonballs in the guns just black powder.  What do they want them to do, use cap guns?  During the public comments, those who have permission to have the event from Henry County were clearly upset with the commissioners.  These people are members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.  They are likely to file suit against Henry County for establishing this precedent because there is nothing in the agreement about having to go to the BoC for permission.  Also, the BoC in former years has allowed this event to take place without incident.  Now since there is a voting block on the commission they want to use their racist mind to obstruct an event that would bring money to Henry County.  Now it is likely to cost Henry County.  Even the county attorney alluded to this point.  The people in the audience could clearly see that there was some contempt by the board members with one another.  The commissioner for the district who likes to be called the "smoking hot boss" is nothing more than a racist who wants Nash Farm to go away.  She already got rid of the Civil War museum there and brought in some of her friends there for a farmers market at a better price.  The 5th district commissioner said he couldn't support a group who has ties to Nathan Bedford Forrest.  Now that is a big statement from a little-minded man who must think General Forrest is still living. (That could be from his being hit in the head playing football which he filed suit with the NFL about.)  If this is the case we cannot support him or his other colleagues who vote with him because of Malcolm X.  They cannot make the past go away and they cannot make the white race go away either.  All they are succeeding in doing is awakening a very large sleeping giant.  This type of political problem will only cause the sore that is festering in Henry County to grow and one day bust.

We are getting the giant screw to the back once again

"We are getting the giant screw to the back once again"

Yes, Henry County residents we are going to get screwed and tattooed all at the same time thanks to the Henry County Board of Commissioners and County Manager.  They apparently have no feelings for the poor, the working people, the elderly or the well to do.  Since, they raised the assessments on our homes and did not lower the millage rate, which they could have done so, our taxes will be higher.  They apparently have no compassion for the citizenry.  The tax digest has gone up considerably in the Henry County and they are going to make good use of it.  Think about this folks.  If you own a mobile home, stick built home or even rent a place you will pay.  Those in the mobile homes will pay in some cases more than the home might be worth.  The stick built homes will definitely see a sizeable increase in their property taxes.  And even if you rent, your landlord will be paying a premium on the property tax since they do not live in the home and guess what, they will pass that along to the person renting the property.  The only people doing well in the scenario are those people who can't seem to handle money.  And we definitely do not want to hear about them being conservative.  They have no idea what the word means.  They are liberal spending politicians and those that carry the moniker of Republican are just closet Democrats and some of the Democrats are Socialists.  Spend, spend, spend and spend some more like there is no tomorrow.  While you sit in traffic on I-75, Hwy 42, Hwy 155 and other roads just remember that they will only be doing token work on any roads for the foreseeable future.  You feel that screw tightening.   And with the rise in property taxes on the homeowners the Atlanta Motor Speedway and other large properties will be getting a tax break from the county.  Yes, folks while you go to work and eck out an existence and those on Social Security and Disability hang on to life, you will be paying the line share of the taxes.  Feel that screw now.  Yes, a business that takes in multi-million dollars per year will get a break.  Bless their little hearts.  No wonder Henry County has been changing as of late.  Those moving here think it is something different and it is nothing more different than what they just left and could be worse than where they moved from to here.  The bottom line is that the whole thing sucks.  And now they are out pining for SPLOST V.  Yes, just think they want to extend that 1 cent sales tax to cover their slush fund on parks and things that the county has too much of today.  And there is even talk that they want to possibly have a 1 cent tax for bus and train service.  Think about sitting in the already horrendous traffic behind that big fat bus.  And train service would be years down the road at best.  They are over five years behind in sending the train to Lovejoy.  Yes, the politicians promise everything under the sun to get elected and then they go off like misers figuring ways to get more money out of the people.  If they reduced some of the bureaucracy in the county that would save a lot of money.  Plus, quit buying properties that will cost the taxpayers for years to come and their children as well.  Think about how much money goes from your taxes to the Henry County BoC, BoE and the Henry County Water and Sewerage Authority.  They take in more than most of the other counties in metro Atlanta.  And what do you really have to show for it.  They will take this county down the slippery slope to a place they will never be able to crawl out of in the decades to come.  As things continue to change more of the people who built the county are dying or leaving and that will leave a whole new face on the county that will not have the same feelings as those who worked so hard to get the things they have today.  But remember that screw in the back.  That is your destiny.

Our Chain Got Jerked Once More, Time To Revolt!!!

"Our Chain Got Jerked Once More"

It looks like we have been doubled talked once again by those sitting on the Board of Commissioners.  These people have said time and again that they would not increase our property taxes.  Well, this is over on the BoC website and this was posted over a week ago.  Nothing has been seen in the paper yet.  This is another shaft the citizens will have to carry upon their backs.  For some, the increase would not affect them much, but for the elderly and disabled it will because every penny is needed just to survive.  We are getting the proverbial screw in the back this time.  Since the tax digest has risen considerably in Henry County they stand to make quite a haul.   This leads to further mistrust of those elected to serve the people and this is not good service.  The citizens should revolt at tax time and not pay their property taxes.  Withhold them from the county.  You would see something change dramatically overnight.  It looks like the only thing they have on their minds is money.  When you get a selective few who garner and broker the funds generated by taxes in the County and Municipalities that have agendas not in keeping with the public trust, then you have a serious problem.  And Henry County has a big problem that runs deep.  There are too many power struggles right now in the county that are not helping with this matter at all.  Smoke and mirrors that have been used widely over the years by the county and cities.  Look at the debacles in Hampton, the fights in Stockbridge, the undertow in McDonough and the slow consumption of Locust Grove.   The Board of Education has already got the millage rate maxed out and the appraisals being higher they will garner a vast amount of money from your paycheck.  If you like what you see and are living with, then by all means just let the status quo continue, but if you want to see a change vote those who would rather deal away their honor out of office in November.  The future of the county is riding on the next few elections and it is teetering on a disaster in more ways than one.

A Whining Commissioner in Henry County

Here is the 5th District Commissioner of Henry County, GA philosophy on political parties.   Spoken by him, "Bruce Holmes-- It’s the system. If you don’t figure out a way to win within it, you will never get that boot off your throat. Winning comes from people uniting around a common interest, dissenting from things in which they strongly disagree and participating in the process. If you’re in-line with helping yourself and friends who only benefit you; you are a republican. If you believe that a raising tide lifts all boats; you’re a democrat. Republicans only advocate for non-partisan elections when minorities become the majority, then sale you how it’s such a great thing. The real purpose is maintaining power so they can continue to maintain control of the allocation of resources."  This is spoken like a true communist and not a democrat or republican.  But he does believe in a Capitalist form of government because he doesn't refuse any money.  And isn't it interesting that it always comes down to race?  The system of being non-partisan was created by the democrat party in Henry County and Georgia long before it was run by the blacks.  Yes, those were the white democrats that started that.  He can't make that ship float because he has no water to hold it up.

Ongoing Problem At The Veterans Wall Of Honor

This article is about an ongoing problem at the Veterans Wall of Honor at Heritage Park in McDonough, GA.  For several years the Wall has needed some TLC.  Looking at some recent photos of the Wall in 2018 you can see where the stone has become more discolored,  there are stars missing from the plaques on the Wall, the stanchions that hold the flag poles are still in bad condition, the pavers are not looking good and some of the ink is missing from the names, and the main flagpole base on all four sides has ink missing from the words of the Pledge of Allegiance.  Back over eight years ago, the county was to start and do something about maintaining this site for the Veterans.  They did some work at that time and it is appreciated, but the time since then has taken its toll on the wall.  At that time stars were bought to fix those missing from that time and they had enough to last a while, but as you can see in the photos those stars are once again missing.  The Henry County government should take more of a role in taking care of this site for the Veterans and loved ones of those Veterans.   Henry County is lax in that department.  Any monument or memorial to our Veterans should be maintained especially when it is on County Property and the families who paid for those pavers and there are many would like to see them maintained.
