Dear editor,
There are two.
Each day we live we must deal with one or the other, the truth or a lie. A lie will always have to be propped up and it doesn’t care who tells it. The truth always stand-alone. Anyone who has no respect for telling the truth has no problem telling a lie.
America is a nation where its citizens seem to have more respect for a lie than the truth. Anyone who goes to bed with anger will probably be willing to tell a lie. The one thing about a lie is it does not care who tells it. As we look at the citizens of today it seem like telling a lie has become the order of the day. When we tell our children to avoid doing something today that tomorrow, you will hate yourself for, we are talking about a lie. America is not perfect, but she is the best there is.
Freedom is not free, but it’s not worth having if we do not have the freedom to make mistakes. If we want to know the cost of freedom, just visit the cemetery. America, God has blessed you for more than 245 years, are you ready to bless God through his son? Out of all that God has blessed this nation through, have the citizens forgotten how to fall down on their knees?
Individually, as well as collectively, do we ask how much do I owe him? America has been given the answer to any question she might be faced with, the Holy Bible. America is in deep trouble because she is doing it the sinner way, I did it my way. I can’t see how anyone can love what this has become. Simply look to Christ for answers and to history to present past mistakes. Love you Lord Bless

Fine job you’re doing
From Ken Carroll on Facebook.com: “The problem with ‘gun violence’ isn’t the word gun. Take note, Leftists: It’s the VIOLENCE.
The USA is being run by a circle of socialists, not Joe Biden. He’s not capable of running anything, has trouble walking also. Watch out for those steep stairs, Joe. Fine job you’re doing. He could go down as the worst president of all time and he’s just getting started.
Dr. Ron Paul’s toll-free message: 1-888-322-1414, updated weekly.
“After realizing he isn’t white, fake news paints Boulder shooting suspect as victim of white supremacist bullying.”
Shane Trejo on BigLeaguePolitics.com
“‘Stereotypes’ may contain sound sociology.”

Democrat-controlled Congress is happy to import cheap labor and ruin the USA in the process. We’re also importing diseases we eradicated years ago. No need to have a health card when you crash the border. Demos want illegals to have a Demo left voter registration card instead. Many Republicans are in the game also; cheap labor never loses its appeal.
The Democrats used illegals to canvass Hispanic neighborhoods to get out the November 2016 presidential vote for Hillary Clinton, perhaps an election law violation?
“The media needs to be destroyed. And although voting for Trump won’t do it, it’s something.”
Derek Hunter on Townhall.com 10-28-16
“It’s just obvious that you can’t have free immigration and a welfare state.”

Lady Indians win pair against Charlton County
By Russ Ragan
The Dodge County High School Lady Indians continued their slow pitch season last Wednesday as they played Charlton County in Jeff Davis. Dodge rolled to a pair of big wins. The first game was the only game that went toward league standings as Dodge took a 16-8 game. Dodge rolled to an 18-4 win in game two. Dodge’s game against West Laurens for last Thursday was rained out.
Dodge trailed 3-0 as they came to bat in the bottom of the first. Doubles from Brooke Perdue and Logan White along with a two out single from Gracie Lewis gave the Lady Indians a 3-3 tie after the first.
Charlton scored a run in the top of the second to tie things up 4-4 but then Dodge took over in there half of the inning. Hits from Kyla Howell, Dylana Barton, Makiyah Roberson, Logan White, Brooke Perdue and Gracie Lewis plated six runs and the Dodge lead was 10-4.
Charlton stayed in the game with three runs in the third for a 10-7 Dodge lead. Dodge added a run as Kyla Howell drove home Linzy Bowen for an 11-7 Lady Indian lead.
The Dodge defense kept Charlton off the board in the fourth. A double play from Gracie Lewis and Logan White kept the Dodge lead at 11-7. Dodge added to the lead in there half of the fourth. Roberson led off with a single and then Logan White unloaded on a long two run homer for a 13-7 Dodge lead.
The lead was 13-8 going to the Dodge sixth. For a second time it would be White with a long homer giving Dodge a 16-8 lead. That would be the final.
Dodge would waste little time in game two. Barton and Roberson would have singles. For the third straight at bat it would White with a long homer and it’s 3-0 Dodge in the first.
The lead was still 3-0 going into the Dodge second. Lauren Slaughter, Dylana Barton and Jessica Joiner reached and loaded the bases. A single by Roberson and a walk to White plated three runs for a 6-0 Dodge lead.
It was 6-1 Dodge, going into the third. Reagan Graham doubled to lead off the inning. With one out, Carson Etheridge, Howell and Slaughter all reached home base successfully. Hits from Barton, Joiner, Roberson and White plated six runs for a 12-1 game.
Charlton put the first two runners on in there half of the third. Dodge then forced a ground ball to Brooke Perdue at second. She tagged the runner going to second and she threw to Gracie Lewis for the double play but the runner going to third Lewis threw to Logan White at third and yes a triple play! That’s a 1-2-3 inning the hard way.
Dodge wrapped up things in the fifth. Chloe Nece singled to lead off the inning. Makiyah Roberson then hit a long homer and a 14-2 Dodge lead. The Lady Indians then got singles from Perdue, Lewis, Halle, Wise and Meg Lewis and its 18-2 Dodge. Charlton added a couple of late runs for an 18-4 final.

Dodge drops two against Tiftarea Academy and Tattnall Square Academy
By Joey Marchant
Dodge continued to struggle with the gloves this week, and it led to two losses. Tiftarea Academy came to Eastman on Tuesday and defeated Dodge nine-two. Tiftarea sent Auburn Commit Hayden Murphy to the mound. The 6’3” Murphy, only a junior, was likely the best pitcher Dodge has seen this year.
Dodge would counter with Brendan O’Connor who would have some early struggles but would eventually settle in and turn in a solid performance. After striking out the first batter, O’Connor gave up a couple of base hits in the inning. However, he got a ground ball out and another strikeout to complete a scoreless first.
Landin Crummey reached on an error, and Garrett Durden walked in the bottom of the first giving Dodge runners at first and second with one out, but the Indians could not push a run across as the game remained scoreless.
O’Connor found himself in deep trouble in the second as a Dodge error, a hit batsman, and a base hit loaded the bases with one out. O’Connor then surrendered a double which cleared the bases. Tiftarea would score a total of five runs in the inning.
Griffin Durden was hit by a pitch, and Kade Harpe had a base hit to again give Dodge two on with one out in the bottom of the second, but again Dodge could not score.
Dodge had an even better opportunity in the third as Crummey led off being hit by a pitch and Garrett Durden singled. However, Dodge attempted a double steal and got Crummey thrown out at third. The Indians would not score.
Tiftarea elected to pull Murphy after only four innings, and this opened the door for Dodge. O’Connor doubled and Garrett Durden walked in the fifth, but Dodge still could not score.
Meanwhile O’Connor had settled in and retired eleven straight batters before Dodge committed another error with two outs in the top half of the sixth. O’Connor was unfazed as he threw behind the runner who strayed too far off second and was thrown out at third for the third out.
Finally Dodge broke through in the bottom of the sixth when Noah Cummings and Griffin Durden walked and were driven in by a Kade Harpe triple. Dodge could get no closer. Tiftarea led five-two going to the seventh.
O’Connor would allow a lead off walk to start the seventh. Tiftarea attempted a sacrifice bunt, but the ball was thrown away on another error by Dodge. O’Connor was then pulled in favor of Tyler Shields. Tiftarea would score five in the seventh with two of those charged to O’Connor, and would win nine-two.
Statistical leaders for Dodge were as follows:
Kade Harpe was two for three with a triple and two RBI.
Brendan O’Connor was one for three with a Walk and a double.
Garrett Durden was one for two with two Walks.
Davis Marchant was one for four.
Noah Cummings was one for three with a walk and a run.
Dodge traveled to Macon on Saturday to take on the Tattnall Square Academy Trojans. Tattnall is a baseball powerhouse having won State Championships in 2016, 2018 and 2019 while finishing as State Runner Up in 2017. The COVID 19 Pandemic stopped the Trojans from a potential three peat in 2020 as they were 13-four when play was halted. They came into this game seven-one in 2021.
Dodge would take an early lead as Brendan O’Connor led off with a single. He would advance to second on Landin Crummey’s sacrifice bunt and score on an infield hit by Davis Marchant. Dodge led one-zero.
Crummey took the mound for Dodge. He allowed a base hit to the leadoff man who stole second base. Crummey struck out the next two batters he faced. He then allowed an infield hit. A throwing error on the play allowed a run to score. Crummey struck out the next batter to end the inning with the score tied one-one.
Dodge would go in order in both the second and the third innings. Crummey pitched around a Dodge error and a walk for a scoreless second inning. However, the floodgates opened in the bottom of the third. Dodge made two consecutive errors to start the inning. Crummey then allowed a single, a double and another single. A sacrifice bunt was followed by two more Dodge errors. The Trojans scored six runs in all to take a seven-one lead.
Cole Cranford ripped a one out double that one hopped the fence in centerfield in the top of the fourth, but Dodge could not score.
Crummey was done, and Jason Lann and Tyler Shields would combine to finish the game for Dodge. Tattnall continued to take advantage of a barrage of Dodge miscues in the bottom of the fourth. Two walks, two hit batsmen, a balk and two errors helped lead to eight Tattnall runs giving Tattnall a 15-one lead.
Braylin Mincey reached on an error in the top of the fifth and came all the way around to score on an O’Connor double to make the final Tattnall Square 15 Dodge two.
Statistical leaders for Dodge were as follows:
Brendan O’Connor was two for three with a double, one RBI and one run.
Davis Marchant was one for two with one RBI.
Cole Cranford was one for one with a double and a walk.
Dodge falls to six-four on the season. They will try to right the ship this week with two games against Region 3AA opponent Jasper County. Dodge was scheduled to host Jasper County on Tuesday March 23, but no results were available at press time. Dodge will travel to Monticello to face Jasper County on Friday March 26, 2021 at 5:30 p.m. Come out and support Dodge Baseball.

VETS before illegals
Laura Ingraham said back in 2015 that our CEOs need to show some semblance of patriotic nationalism by keeping the jobs here. It’s still needed.
Bumper sticker of the day: VETS before illegals.
The city of Minneapolis settled with the George Floyd family for $27 million. Do you suppose Ashli Babbitt’s family will ever get any semblance of justice for her murder on January 6?
Bellwether counties can predict an election winner and 18 of 19 voted for Trump again in 2020 and he supposedly lost. This has never happened before. Those 19 counties until 2020 always told the election winner. Vote theft stopped the streak.
Operation WARP Speed was highly successful in producing a virus vaccine so of course the media lied about it. Anything to defame President Trump and promote/defend socialism the media left will do it.
“Pay-As-You-Go” taxes started June 9, 1943, an emergency withholding method to fund World War 2. It muddied the water so well voters didn’t realize how much they paid in taxes.
Some wondered if Trump really wanted to win when he started in 2016. Of course he did.
“A guy who can go to seven states in a day wants to win.”
Dennis Prager 11-8-16
“Whoever controls the media controls the mind.”
musician Jim Morrison (1943-1971)
Are pollsters paid hoaxers?
“Whites love to feel good about feeling bad about being white.”

We need a continuation of this philosophy: “The RINOS won’t hit back against the Clinton campaign but WE WILL!”

Donald Trump pushes America First. Sleepy creepy Joe Biden of the Biden puts America last. Which way do you want it?
Professional pols know what you say means more than what you do. Donald Trump is not a professional pol. He reverses the old theory here.
Let Trump be Trump – in any fair election with no vote theft as occurred in 2020 Donald Trump wins again.
We want people to remember the great President Donald Trump, the real one, not the media depiction, and vote for him again in 2024. Vote NO on plagiarizing Joe and his Biden crime family.
The Democrat platform now includes a gay marriage plank. What they always want but won’t tell you up front: big tax increases.
Republicans are stupid to continue submitting to debates moderated by liberal Democrats posing as impartial news people. That’s a good reason to call Republicans the Stupid Party. Of course, the Democrats are the Evil Party. Stupid is better than evil and some Republicans are worth voting for.
“At San Diego in 1996, Bob Dole told his convention he had not bothered to read the platform. Many who heard him did not bother to vote for Bob Dole.”
Pat Buchanan 10-25-07
I voted for Dole, after voting for Steve Forbes in the primary. Dole would’ve been far better than Clinton or Perot. Steve Forbes would’ve been great. Lesser of evils is better than evil and Bob Dole could’ve worked out fairly well. He was not a good candidate although honest and a super nice guy, most everyone says.

Dodge defeats Telfair, improves record to 5-0
By Joey Marchant
Dodge County improved to 5-0 with a 12-2 win over the Telfair Trojans. After finishing as A-Public State Runner Up a few years ago, Telfair has hit a rough patch as they only had two seniors in the starting lineup. In contrast, Dodge had nine seniors in the starting lineup.
Telfair got off to a good start against Dodge’s Landin Crummey who picked up his third win of the season. The Trojans took advantage of two singles and a wild pitch to take a 1-0 lead.
Dodge wasted no time erasing the Trojan lead as Brendan O’Connor and Crummey led off for Dodge with back to back doubles tying the score at 1-1. Crummey was replaced by courtesy runner Trase Moore. Garrett Durden reached on an error, which allowed Moore to go to third. Durden would take second without a throw down from the catcher. Davis Marchant singled to center driving in Moore and Durden and giving Dodge a 3-1 lead.
Crummey sat the Trojans down in order in the second inning, and Dodge went back to work. Logan Slaughter hit a fly ball, which was dropped by the Trojan leftfielder. O’Connor drove Slaughter in with another double to left field, and he moved to third on a wild pitch. Crummey walked and was replaced by courtesy runner Trase Moore. Another wild pitch allowed O’Connor to score and Moore to advance to second. Garrett Durden singled scoring Moore, and Durden advanced to second on the throw home. Marchant flew out to deep right allowing Durden to tag and advance to third. Seth Cossett would later drive in Durden with a base hit. Dodge led 7-1.
Both teams went in order in the third. Telfair cut the lead to 7-2 in the fourth with a double followed by a single. Dodge continued to pound the Trojans in the bottom of the fourth. Garrett Durden led off by reaching on an error and taking second base on the same play. Durden advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on a groundout by Marchant. Cranford walked and was replaced by Gage Pittman as a courtesy runner. Noah Cummings reached on an error, and Cossett walked to load the bases. A single by Slaughter drove in Pittman and Cummings. Dodge led 10-2.
Crummey sat down the Trojans down in order in the top of the fifth. Dodge put it away in the bottom of the fifth. Crummey reached on an error and was replaced by courtesy runner Trase Moore. Garrett Durden was hit by a pitch. Marchant walked to load the bases. Cole Cranford singled up the middle driving in Moore and Durden with the final runs of the game. The game ended by run rule with the score 12-2 after five innings.
Statistical leaders for Dodge were as follows:
Brendan O’Connor was two for four with two doubles, two runs and one RBI.
Landin Crummey was one for three with a walk and one RBI.
Garrett Durden was one for three with four runs and one RBI.
Davis Marchant was one for three with a walk and three RBIs.
Cole Cranford was one for three with a walk and two RBIs.
Seth Cossett was one for two with a walk and one RBI.
Logan Slaughter was one for three with two RBIs.
Crummey went five innings allowing two earned runs on five hits with two strikeouts and no walks.
Dodge had scheduled games against West Laurens and Fitzgerald rained out last week. Dodge finds itself ranked Number 9 in the most recent AA poll published by Georgia Dugout Preview Magazine.
The schedule gets a lot tougher this week as Dodge was scheduled to travel to Cochran to face its arch rival the Bleckley County Royals on Tuesday, March 9, but no score was available at press time.
Dodge is also scheduled to host AAAAAA Northside on Thursday, March 11 at 6:00 p.m. and the Royals on Friday, March 12 at 6:00 p.m.
The Royals are 5-2, having dropped close games to #2 Vidalia and #5 Jeff Davis, and the games with the Royals could put one of the teams in the driver’s seat for the Region 3AA Championship. Come out and support the Indians.
Lady Indians sweep all three season opener games
By Russ Ragan
The Dodge County High School Lady Indians started their 2021 season slow pitch season Thursday in Dublin. Dodge hosted Dooley County in game one. Dodge started slowly but rolled to a 19-1 win. Thomas County Central was game two and Dodge rolled to a 20-1 win. The third game of the day was against Baker County. The game was never in question in the 23-0 final. The season will feature “area” games and not region play. The opponents will be from other classifications and regions.

Dodge had scheduled games against West Laurens and Fitzgerald rained out last week. Dodge finds itself ranked Number 9 in the most recent AA poll published by Georgia Dugout Preview Magazine.
The schedule gets a lot tougher this week as Dodge was scheduled to travel to Cochran to face its arch rival the Bleckley County Royals on Tuesday, March 9, but no score was available at press time.
Dodge is also scheduled to host AAAAAA Northside on Thursday, March 11 at 6:00 p.m. and the Royals on Friday, March 12 at 6:00 p.m.
The Royals are 5-2, having dropped close games to #2 Vidalia and #5 Jeff Davis, and the games with the Royals could put one of the teams in the driver’s seat for the Region 3AA Championship. Come out and support the Indians.
