City and county leaders: Can we please get back to basics? Bolster good law enforcement practices. Law-abiding citizens are frustrated having to deal with reckless drivers, et cetera, around town. This bad behavior definitely feeds on itself, so fixing this problem now will also fix so many others.

Reading the story in which smarmy Secretary of State Raffensperger appears to rejoice over the fact that the state is recovering funds from Stacey Abrams’ organization for filing a frivolous lawsuit, I can’t help but wonder why he hasn’t sought such relief from Trump, who filed several such suits in the state.

With the “Gang of 5” leading the Freedom Caucus, look for benefits for the elderly to be reduced and benefits for the top 10% to increase.

WALB’s Kendrick Johnson “special” was a real nothing burger. There wasn’t a single new fact, just more allegations. Maybe the reporters should have read the report and included excerpts from investigators’ findings.

So, Republicans have made Jim Jordan chair of a committee to investigate actions and methods used by federal agencies like the FBI that investigate crime. That’s like putting Matt Geatz in charge of a high school girls swim team. We have seen the clown show, now comes the full-fledged three-ring circus.

As much as I am afraid to admit it, I fully agree with The Patriot’s squawk about the things our city/county need to complete and accomplish. I guess a blind hog does actually find an acorn every once in a while.

Carlton, I know you got one thing right. Those so-called dumplings at most restaurants are nothing more than globs of dough. How any right-thinking Southerner could eat them is beyond me.

Hi, Democrats, I hope you don’t own a gas stove. Biden wants to outlaw them. Just remember, you voted for that.

Watching lame-duck Kemp pi — away the state’s huge surplus is going to be painful for Georgians who actually work for a living.

Which city commissioner lives on or near West Doublegate? I see that it has been repaved using SPLOST money. This road is used by “locals,” but one street over, North Doublegate has become a major thoroughfare. Why aren’t the roads used by more people being paved instead of the roads used only by a few?

Biden, Trudeau and Obrador. They had a summit in Mexico City. It was a resurrection of the Three Stooges.

Yes, there are four-star and five-star football recruits. Then there are those with heart that work and emerge as leaders and win the day. Thanks, Stetson, you done good.

ADP and Sheriff’s office: Please continue to increase your presence in the community. Citizens here support you 1000%, and we are counting on you to crack down on reckless driving and bad actors around town.

Trump’s “proper place” is a jail cell. All Americans who are not members of his cult have been ready for this for years. He has managed to avoid justice for years, even before occupying the White House. “The Teflon Don” fits him better than it did John Gotti.

You are correct Squawker. Trump will rise to the top floor at Leavenworth Federal Prison.
