SMRs, I got my Big Beautiful Bill tax refund. Now I can afford to buy a tank of gas.

Heard and his Heard-ettes are at it again, denying funding for our jail that is vitally needed while preparing to give $3 million of our tax money to cronies and developers of ill-repute. The governor should act on the shenanigans going on here, but neither he nor the over-whelming number of state representa-tives and senators are aware that there's anything in Georgia south of Macon.
If the governor doesn't send some people down to Albany to look into the illegal practices -- especially in spending taxpayer money -- the thieves and conmen (and women) on the city and county commissions are doing, they're going to bleed us dry.
To the Deerfield-Windsor Toxic Mom Club: Seek therapy or medication because you really need help. DW is a great school, but you and your mini-me kids make it miserable for some. Think your kids are cool? Congrats on raising (expletives). If you think for one second that this may be directed at you then it 100% is. And shame on the good ones for watching it all go down and not having the (guts) to call it out.
Maybe our coroner has never fired a .45 aliber handgun, but anyone that has knows if anyone were to shoot themselves in the head with a .45, that person would not still be holding on to that gun after the fact. Recoil is tremendous. Being dead, one does not hold on to a .45 pistol during recoil. and the pistol was placed in the wrong hand: the guy was left handed; the pistol in his right hand. How could our coroner not realize that when investigating Jake Embert's death? "Dateline" made Albany look ridiculously stupid and ignorant. Thank God for Lee Wilson.
Dateline exposed the incompetence of the entire Dougherty County Judicial System. From the Dougherty County police, the Dougherty County coroner to the Dougherty County District Attorney. The combination of these three agencies almost allowed a cold blooded murderer to walk free. I am totally embarrassed that the whole country was able to see our incompetent system.
The coverage and pictures of the Terrell Academy vs. Lakewood state championship game is exceptional. Thank you for a job well-done.
If there was a need for a $100 million convention center in Dougherty County, a major hotel chain would have already built it.
This is rich. FBI Director Kash Patel was captured on video/in photos celebrating with Team USA’s men’s hockey team after their gold medal victory against Canada in Milan. What legitimate reason can Patel claim for this on taxpayers’ dime? Exactly.
Let's see more columns by Thomas Knapp. He and H.L. Mencken nailed it.
