ANOTHER VIEW: What we are seeing is the abuse of the justice system

By Jack Bernard |  Fifteen years ago, I was the head of the Jasper County Republican Party. Never did I attack the local Democratic Party. Although we differed on which roads to pave, fiscal matters and so on, I tried to work with the Democrats on the County Commission to get things done. Never did I attack the local Democratic Party.

ANOTHER VIEW: America  needs controlled, legal immigration

By Jack Bernard  |  Immigrants commit less crime per capita than U.S. citizens. Rep. Mike Collins is correct that the Riley murder was horrible. But he is incorrect in blaming President Biden. Let’s recognize the record: Immigration policy has been a mess due to inaction by both national parties.

ANOTHER VIEW: Collins acts like a 6-year-old, wanting to get his way

By Jack Bernard | The Grand Old Party (GOP) just does not have its act together, as shown by the fight to elect a Speaker. Our country narrowly averted a government shutdown last month when then conservative House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R) made a last-minute deal with Democrats to pass a continuing resolution (HR 5860) to keep the government open for 45 days at existing spending rates.

FOCUS: U.S. House members are interfering with local schools

By Jack Bernard, contributing columnist  |  U.S. Rep. Mike  Collins represents the gerrymandered Georgia 10th Congressional district, including parts of eastern Gwinnett. Collins and his GOP House cohorts do not believe that our school teachers are dedicated professionals… or that states and local governments are fully capable of managing their own schools.
