There is a problem in District 2 of Henry County

There is a problem in District 2 of Henry County.

  The person appointed to the parks and rec dept for that district is attached to the commissioner for that district.  They have an interest in the parkland.  Also, they sell meats to the Muslim community for Ramadan and other Muslim holidays.  They are also connected to another Muslim producer out of  South Fulton County.  I would not say that all Muslims are bad, but never forget what happened on September 11, 2001.  This should remain in the back of everyone's mind.  It was predicted that when a black took over that district that the Nash Farm would come under attack for the Confederate Museum and the flags.  They cannot stand real history and will promote their own agenda as attested to by her comment that she will reopen the museum to be more inclusive.  She will make a mockery to those who died at the Battle for Lovejoy Station.  Recall her, and or vote her out of office for doing something that was against her duties as a commissioner.  She is not supposed to act on something she is to have the county manager to do so.  Overstepping her authority to appease her friends.  Sounds like another racial coup.

The Raping Of Henry County By The Commissioners

The Raping Of Henry County By The Commissioners

The Henry County Commissioners are considering a one penny extra sales tax called a T-SPLOST to do transportation projects in the County. The sales tax in Henry County is now at 7% and would go up to 8% if the commissioners get what they want. Let's face it people the Commissioners are out of control drunk with power and want us the citizens to pay for their lack of fiscal responsibility in office and for their lust for money.  They would rather spend money on parks that are not in the County’s bailiwick to provide to the people. They would rather spend money on walking paths so the criminals will have an easier time robbing and molesting people. I even question that a couple of the Commissioners are not true Americans because of their actions and the people they hang around with.

Let's look at some numbers provided by the Carl Vinson Institute

The ARC Report and data from the Carl Vinson Institute

Henry County

23,760 over 65

15,120 disabled

75,600 over 55

41,040 living below poverty level

2,160 living off the street or with others

That’s 157,680 people that already have a hard time making ends meet, but the Commissioners don’t give a tinker’s damn about the people of the County. This was proven when the Chair of the Board had the State of The County address and charged money for the citizens to attend it and it was not cheap at all. And she had it at the crime central of Henry County.

I am asking all citizens to tell the Commissioners to not pursue a T-SPLOST in the County, but to be more responsible with our tax money if they can. And if they can’t do that then get out of office!!! It’s time for the people of Henry County to say enough is enough and take back the County from the money grubbing scums that are in the County and City Governments. We are doing it at the National level let’s do it now at the local level!!!

I will be posting from time to time ways we can hurt the money grubbers by not giving them the sales tax they love to spend like a drunken sailor on leave or a cheap whore on North Henry Blvd on Saturday night.  We can go to another County to do our shopping or get stuff online. Yes, it will hurt the businesses in the County some. But we all have to sacrifice a little and I for one am damn tired of sacrificing so the riff raff of the County can spend and spend on things we don’t need. Together we can do this and make Henry County great again!!

Spend Not For Those Who Died on 9/11

“Spend Not For Those Who Died on 9/11”

A few years ago the City of McDonough and Henry County entered into an agreement to buy some land for a soccer park next to the Kroger on Jonesboro Rd. The park was never built because it was determined that too much of it was in a floodplain. It was reported on WSB TV that they now plan on building a park for children that died too early. In other words, a passive park for children that have died. They also said it would be like a small Piedmont Park. Now we all know what the real Piedmont Park in Atlanta is known for we just saw reports of the Dekalb Sheriff get caught exposing himself and running from the police. Is this the kind of park we want in the County or City, I think not. I can see it being called the dinga linga ding dong park of Henry County and the County getting laughed at more than it does now.

Henry County has a history of not doing the right thing when it comes to honor. They are cold and callous about people and their feelings. For years they have held what they call a memorial service for 9/11. But they have no clue as how to do it properly. They hold it in the middle of a busy intersection in front of a Walmart in McDonough. This intersection is just yards from the I-75 on-ramp.  Henry County has manipulated Stockbridge into doing the same thing in recent years at the Walmart on North Henry Blvd also known as the crime capital of the southside. This is not the right place to hold a memorial service for the victims of 9/11. It is a slap in the face to the friends and family members that lost loved ones on that terrible day. The County has a very good Veterans Wall of Honor that would be a good place to hold a service. After all, they have a photo of the towers on the wall as part of the military memorial. But alas, the County is either too cold hearted or just plain stupid.

If the County and Cities want to do the right thing why have they not built a memorial for the victims of 9/11. I have talked to family members that have lost a loved one and they are very upset that the County has done nothing to show respect for their loved one. And we don’t want to hear the crap we don’t have the money. I have seen small towns build a good memorial to the victims of 9/11. I know of one in Texas in a County that is three times larger than Henry County and they only have about 13,000 people in the whole County, yet they found a way to honor the victims. But the great Henry County of Georgia has done nothing, but put people in a busy intersection for a service. No place to take your children to teach them of the horrors of that day. It makes me wonder if the County or the people running it are complicit with the terrorist of that day. Something to think about.

The State of the County for a Price

The State of the County for a Price

Nothing changes in Henry County and it's elitist way of approaching the citizens.  On May 10, 2017, the chairperson of the BoC June Wood will be giving the State of the County address to the Council for Quality Growth, and the Chamber of Commerce.  They will be having this affair at the Merle Manders Conference Center in Stockbridge.  If you are a member it only costs $45 to attend and $65 if you are not a member.  This is really a load of crap.  The citizens of Henry County deserve to have the State of the County address be made for free at the Henry County Administration building where the seat of Henry County Government resides.  This has been done in years past and the citizens did not like it.  It looks like June Wood and her cronies are continuing the business as usual approach towards the citizens of the county.  In response to this approach they are taking, it would be a good thing to boycott any business in Henry County for a few days to get the message across in the loss of revenue and that is where the power resides with the people to either go along with this elitist way of doing business or doing something firm about what is going on in Henry County.  The people will never see anything better about their government unless they take charge of it.  Remember all this when election time rolls around for these people who sit on the board looking high and mighty when they are just what they are and they should look in the looking glass sometime to see that the face they are looking at is not the one they were born with.  It is truly disgusting that the State of the County address has to be made to those who are the problem in the county.  They have taken the people's tax money for years and played with it and look at your road situation.  Remember that when you are stuck in traffic this summer with an overheated car.  Remember all those smiling faces that said we will fix your problems, but you must pay to listen to what I have to say.  This is not true government of the people, by the people and for the people.  This is government by the pocket book.  They will tell you it is for the rent of the conference center and that is a load of dung.  The conference center will be used as a government function and wouldn't cost them a dime.  And of course, they will produce some papers saying we paid this when that is the way this type of government run debacle is handled with smoke and mirrors.  And the chairperson will talk about how they will protect you at home, but they cannot even protect their own firefighter's property while they are working.  Of course, the drones for the chairwoman who helped to put her in office will be on the attack and they are only automatons pretending to be human.  It looks like with every election cycle the county and cities go down a hole that has no bottom to it.  But what is interesting about this scenario is that they realize that the average citizen of Henry County is working and can't be at a function such as this and surely cannot afford to pay to listen to the same old rhetoric.  Citizens this smells like a three day dead fish that has been left in the sun.  What is really sad is that they don't care about you or anyone else except themselves.  Here we are in the 21st century and these people are acting like they did in the early 20th century during the big boss days.  How does this make you feel?  Do you like the view from the cheap seats where you are not wanted?  Then, show up and do something about it because it looks like Henry County has gone by the wayside and something ugly has taken it's place.   As people did in the past to get their point across they protested.  Protest this event and any other until the citizens are truly recognized and those who are pretending to be your friend on the BoC have been replaced.  The future for Henry County is looking bleak as our county that was a comfortable place to live is now looking more and more like crime central and the counties that the citizens of Henry have feared for so long.  They moved in, brought their problems, and the BoC doesn't give a damn.  That is why you must pay to listen to a speech filled with propaganda that would make any dictator happy.  The late great Henry County.

A Day For Confederate History Month

 Day for April

Confederate Heritage Month and Memorial

There is a little-known fact about the law that made Confederate Heritage Month and Memorial Day a law for April.  It was made law by the Legislature but never has been repealed.  Governor Deal can change the name on the calendar, but cannot change law.  Here is how GA Law 1-4-20 reads:

(a) The General Assembly hereby finds and determines that tourism is a great economic resource in Georgia; and historical, heritage, and cultural inheritance are among the tourism industry's most popular attractions. Georgia's Confederate heritage, physical artifacts and battle sites, and historic events and persons not only attract visitors, they are potentially of even greater importance and benefit to our state's economy. Increased development of our state's Confederate history and heritage as part of the tourism industry will be enhanced through recognizing, celebrating, and advertising that heritage and history.

(b) The month of April of each year is hereby designated as Confederate History and Heritage Month and shall be set aside to honor, observe, and celebrate the Confederate States of America, its history, those who served in its armed forces and government, and all those millions of its citizens of various races and ethnic groups and religions who contributed in sundry and myriad ways to the cause which they held so dear from its founding on February 4, 1861, in Montgomery, Alabama, until the Confederate ship CSS Shenandoah sailed into Liverpool Harbor and surrendered to British authorities on November 6, 1865.

(c) Officials and departments of state, county, and municipal governments, boards of education, elementary and secondary schools, colleges and universities, businesses, and all citizens are encouraged to participate in programs, displays, and activities that commemorate and honor our shared history and cultural inheritance throughout each April during Confederate History and Heritage Month.

A resolution was introduced this year to have the names put back on the state calender.  It didn't pass because it was introduced too late in the session, but it will be up front next legislative session.

This year once again the City of McDonough the county seat for Henry County, GA will recognized Confederate Heritage Month and Memorial Day on the square in McDonough with a Proclamation by Mayor Billy Copeland.  This by far makes the City of Stockbridge look bad as McDonough has more clout and more class than they will ever have.

The Spalding County Board of Commissioners recently voted unanimously to recognize Confederate History Month and Memorial Day with a Proclamation on April 3, 2017.   The Harlason County Board of Commissioners recently voted to recognize Confederate History Month and Memorial Day with a Proclamation.

There have already been several Confederate Memorial Day events in Georgia and many more to come.  The list below covers some, but not all of them.

It is good to see these localities exercise their right to celebrate Confederate Heritage Month and Confederate Memorial Day.  There are many people here in the state who lost family members in that war and they never owned a slave.  They went because they wanted to protect their homes.  Many people are trying to rewrite history as though the Civil War never existed, but it did.  It is part of the history of Georgia and cannot be whitewashed away to suit certain parties who are no more than racist groups trying to destroy the history of Georgia and the good people of the state.  Please never forget your ancestors to make a group happy.

A Man Of Honor

A former Georgia State Trooper rode along with H.K. Edgerton to make sure no one bothered him on his walk up to Hogansville from LaGrange along Hwy 29 or Hogansville Rd.

 He was walking up Hogansville Road, I pulled up to him and we talked for a few. I offered him a ride, but he refused saying he was carrying the colors and marching for the cause. So I made sure I stayed on Hogansville road and he got safely to his resting point in Hogansville.

Mr. Edgerton, born in 1948 in North Carolina, has been a voice for those who wish to celebrate their Southern Heritage.  He was once the head of the NAACP Chapter in his hometown in North Carolina and later realized that what the people needed to understand was the truth.  He became a member of the Sons of the Confederate Veterans because one of his ancestors was in the war.  He has traveled the nation with the battle flag and has given numerous talks on the heritage that has been attacked by those who don't know better.  As he has said many times that flag does not belong to those pointed head people in the white robes.  It belongs to those poor dirt farmers who left their homes to try and protect them.  He has also remarked that many of the people who call themselves "civil rights workers" are no more than radicals who use the flag of the black panther movement as their symbol.  Mr. Edgerton is so tired of the society today wanting to rewrite the history books to suit what is politically correct for them.  That makes them no better than jackals trying to rape history and trying to make it all for nothing.  He said that the flag he totes never flew over a slave ship, only the United States flag and the flags of the European nations bringing the slaves to the West Indies to work the plantations across the islands, Central and South America and into North America.  Mr. Edgerton has been a voice for what is lacking in the South and that is guts to be able to stand for what you believe.  And he walked the lonely road in Georgia with a retired gentleman to make sure no one bothered him.

Councilman Alexander Supports Confederate History Month

Councilman Alexander Supports Confederate History Month.

You may ask yourself how is this possible because Councilman Alexander has made it clear he does not support American Veterans. The last time I was able to talk to the Stockbridge City Council I told them of the U.S. Government making Confederate Veterans American Veterans. And yet Mr. Alexander was unable to learn what I was talking about. Or he refuses to learn the truth of the great Confederate Army. Last year Mr. Alexander was instrumental in denying me my constitutional right to address the Stockbridge City Council, which is part of Amendment 1 of the Bill of Rights which he so often uses in his defense,  to ask for a proclamation to honor our Confederate Veterans. All they had to do was either vote yea or nay, but to deny a person the right to speak because you are prejudiced is wrong.  He has admitted it when he was boasting about getting cleared of all ethics charges brought against him by several people including myself.

I have sources that have informed me of just how hard it is to work with Mr. Alexander. That he always thinks he knows what is best for the people of Stockbridge and it is usually what is best for making him look good or for his cronies. He also touts diversity to everyone, but only if it is his kind of diversity most of the time liberal progressives like himself don’t believe in diversity. I have been told and we all have seen this that he cannot stay away from the front of a camera that is being self-centered at its best. We have seen him on the news where he calls them just so he can be on TV and cuddle with a reporter and that is another question why is he putting his arms around a news reporter? Just what can cause someone to act like this. The city council may need to send him to a doctor like they did the former mayor. Someone that has an agenda for himself or someone that he is working for such as a friend from Atlanta. The last time I was around Mr. Alexander he would not look at me. But he did turn one time and I was right there. I noticed something disturbing I had been trained in a previous job I had in the 90s. His eyes were glassy and skin was waxy,  I do not know what is wrong with him, but these are some of the signs of a serious problem.

Stockbridge has gotten into worse shape while Mr. Alexander has been on the city Council. Because whatever is wrong with him it will bring Stockbridge down the same destructive path I fear he is on. The entity I worked for in the 90s have taken notice of the shenanigans going on in Stockbridge and I know if they have to come in it will not be good. I ask the citizens to help get him recalled or at least vote him out of office. Maybe even have the city council have him removed because he is doing everything in his power to have some of them removed in the next election.

So just how does he support Confederate History Month. By not letting me speak he lit a fire under me. I will be posting more here and on facebook about our Confederate Veterans for the entire month of April. You see he does not know me I am a very hard headed person that doesn’t give a damn about how people think of me. I have been called every name in the book throughout my life and I just don’t care anymore, so there!!!!
