Words to live by from the Valdosta Daily Times article: “You’re not violating the law if you have a reasonable story”.
And when it’s exposed as false or fabricated, make up another one.

I won’t be a supporter of subsidizing rural broadband unless Georgia does likewise.
Ok so you allow your players to make political statements but will not allow a veterans group to even pay for an ad to voice their statement? Really?

What’s weird is that the story says they allowed an ad that said “Please Stand for Our Veterans” but didn’t allow the one that said “Please Stand”. Something else seems afoot there. Regardless, I don’t consider any of it “political” speech, which, to me, would require a position on a candidate, official, party, or ballot measure. All this looks just like social issues to me.
Secret societies? Wow! There’s gonna be a whole prison wing for The Libs after this!! Lol!

Rural GA are you listening? Remember all those urban/suburban types you want to recruit to live in your communities? Fiscal, law/order conservatives yes – social conservatives not so much.
Mergers are at a 17 year high… and we still have 11 more months to go. This is very good for my 401(k).
Question, if company A acquires Company B, what happens to all the over lapping staff? What happens to the excess buildings? Equipment?

Sec. Ross was a no show at his panel discussion on global manufacturing in Davos today. That’s $60,000 lus of tax payer money on just the entry fees down the drain. Seriously, that could have paid the lawyer’s fee on the eminent domain filings for about a 1/2 mile of Texas land to build a wall…

Ok, gang: how many months will Comey spend in jail for perjury? Said decision not to prosecute The Hag was made only after her “interview”. Oops, text says Lynch was aware no charges will be filed beforehand!! Big problem!! Yugeeeeeeeeeee!!!! My bet? Six months.
Which one of the corrupt senior FBI officials involved in Mueller’s witch hunt will be First to Take the Fifth???
People like Perkins and Graham get indignant when it’s suggested they are theocrats that really aren’t very Christian, then double down that depravity by guys like Trump or Moore is unimportant so long as they edge the government closer to making all abortion illegal, and enactment of anti-Muslim and anti-LGBT laws that federalize their own fringe religious beliefs and impose them by force of law upon all other Americans.
Do yourselves a favor snd read this. You Libs are toast.
