I hope the wimpy Commissioner of Baseball, Biden and 'ass'orted Corporate CEO's have bitten off more than they can chew:

MLB's Georgia Boycott Backfires, Congressman Issues Brutal Reminder READ  +++++++++ Far too many American CEO's  have concluded they best serve their stockholders and our nation by engaging in political war and thus, have attacked the recent bill passed by The Georgia Legislature Whether they intended to or not, they appear to suggest not only are Georgian's racists but also black citizens are incapable of obtaining identification cards. Voting is one of the most sacred rights we have and it is critical  election results be believable. What the Georgia Legislature did was quash a wedge issue Democrats and Stacey Abrams used to lie about in order to turn Georgia Blue.  In a broader sense, all states should have similar laws which end voting on the same day so voter tally can become more efficient and election results quickly reported so confidence in election integrity builds etc. Biden saw another chance to heal America's great divide so he engaged in the corporate sports war and will eventually be struck out. At almost 80, he still does not know how to restrain himself from touching wet paint because he remains  too anxious to play his race cards. But why not?  For some 50 years he has been a loyal Democrat and that is what they do. And: Biden, Georgia and the Beijing Olympics The President puts himself in a bind over athletic boycotts. By  The Editorial Board   When President Biden publicly lobbied Major League Baseball last week to move its All-Star Game out of Georgia, he no doubt thought he was on the side of the angels. But now what is he going to do about the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics? Mr. Biden objects to Georgia’s new voting law as an “atrocity,” though it offers more avenues to vote than New York and Delaware, among other states. The President is so offended that he asked a sports league to boycott an American state, doing economic harm to the Atlanta area, and essentially smearing the state Legislature as bigots. We can’t wait to see what the U.S. President is going to say about China’s voting rules. There are no lines at polling places in the Middle Kingdom because there are no polling places, no absentee ballot controversies because there are no ballots. The country is run by a leadership cadre of the Chinese Communist Party, and its decisions are ratified by the rubber-stamp National People’s Congress that meets once a year. Perhaps Mr. Biden can compare the voting rules in Georgia to those in the re-education camps in Xinjiang province. His own Secretary of State says China is committing genocide against the Uighurs.  He could send Rob Manfred as an emissary to investigate, since the MLB commissioner is trying to expand his league’s business in China even as it boycotts an American state. Surely Chinese President Xi Jinping would let Mr. Manfred inspect the camps, and why not bring along fellow Georgia boycott enthusiast LeBron James to certify that the Uighurs are cheerful in their work? For the record, we aren’t lobbying for an Olympic boycott. It would punish American athletes while the games would go on anyway. It’s easy symbolism, while doing more to defend Taiwan or to stop Chinese cyber theft are difficult and really matter. But Mr. Biden has put himself in this bind with his stunt over Georgia. He’ll inevitably be asked why a law seeking to balance voter access with ballot integrity in an American state that voted for him in 2020 warrants a boycott, while authoritarian China deserves a political pass. The answer will be instructive. +++ Senator Ben Watson represents my district in the Georgia Legislature

We have just completed our final calendar week of the 2021 legislative session, and the General Assembly will likely adjourn on Wednesday of this week. All committees have wrapped up their work and have passed out all legislation that will have the opportunity to become law this year.  We have achieved much and with two legislative days remaining, Monday and Wednesday, we are expected to have some long days.  We will readjourn later this year for a special session to handle redistricting for our congressional districts and our legislative districts.   

The Senate this week agreed with the House on Senate Bill 202, a comprehensive update on Georgia’s elections laws and procedures. This legislation combines bi-partisan ideas to make our elections more secure and improve overall voter confidence in the election process. These changes include ensuring that ballot drop boxes are kept in secure indoor locations, expanding weekend voting hours to include at least two Saturdays, and additional security measures on ballots such as requiring the name and designation of the precinct printed at the top. Photo identification, or other approved ID, will be required for all voters. Every legal vote cast in Georgia deserves to be accurately counted, and these new updates ensure that both the distribution and tabulation of ballots is as secure as possible. 

Gov. Kemp announced earlier this week that, starting March 25, any adult over the age of 16, regardless of medical history or place of employment, will be eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. This is an incredible step forward as our state continues to lead the way for the nation on how to safely reopen, while at the same time ensuring that all citizens have the ability to receive the vaccine in a timely manner. I encourage all Georgians to visit www.myvaccinegeorgia.com to make their plans to get vaccinated as quickly as possible. The faster we all become vaccinated, the faster we can return to normalcy. 

The Senate passed the 2022 General Budget (FY22), which is the biggest hurdle we in the General Assembly must pass. The FY22 budget totals just over $27 billion, signifying the strength and resilience of our economy over the past year and how our state’s economy has continued to grow during the pandemic. After passing the Senate, the bill was assigned to a conference committee where members of the House and Senate met to iron out any final remaining disparities between the two chamber’s versions of the budget. We expect the conference committee reports to be placed on our desks early next week for final approval and to send the FY22 budget on to the governor for his signature. 

As a senator I am frequently asked to represent legislation in the Senate that our state representatives have passed in the House, much like they carry my legislation from the Senate.  Several bills, in concert with our state representatives, passed the Senate. House Bill 207 passed, which will increase the number of technicians that a pharmacist may supervise from three to four. I also led the passage in the Senate of H.B. 168 that would allow certain inmate information to be made available to district attorneys. I also helped with H.B. 205 that would enter Georgia into the Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact. Under this compact, the Board of Occupational Therapy will be allowed to collect fingerprints of occupational therapists and assistants, as well as conduct criminal background checks through the FBI. Finally, the bridge crossing the Savannah River on State Route 307 will be dedicated to Senator Johnny Isakson and officially called the Senator Johnny Isakson Bridge. 

Thank you for your continued interest in the General Assembly session. As your public servant, feel free to visit me at the Capitol or to reach out to me by phone or email.  I am in 325-A Coverdell Legislative Office Building.  My office phone number is (404) 656-7880 and my email is ben.watson@senate.ga.gov.  I look forward to serving you.

This was sent to me by a dear friend, neighbor and fellow memo reader.  I actually posted this once before but it is worth re-posting because it calls for those who are concerned for our nation to speak out. 

Some things to think about!

I never dreamed that I would have to face the prospect of not living in the United States of America, at least not the one I have known all my life. I have never wished to live anywhere else. This is my home and I was privileged to be born here.

 But today I woke up and as I had my morning coffee, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same. I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life--so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind! 

You can't justify this insanity:

If a guy pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.

Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.

Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good.

It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it.

Twenty is too young to drink a beer, but eighteen is old enough to vote.

People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.

People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.

 Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.

Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcome.  

$5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not .

If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free. 

People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.

We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us 

Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.

Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but  stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.

And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"?!

 Nothing makes sense anymore - no values, no morals, and no civility. People are dying of a Chinese virus, but it's racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China.  We are clearly living in an upside down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong but killing unborn babies is AOK!

Wake up America, the great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water, and is sinking fast.  Speak up!

Meanwhile:

Hunter Biden is a loose cannon on the corrupt ship USS Biden. If we had an honest mass media our current president would have been forced out of the basement and made to answer many legitimate questions.
