It’s hard to understand what’s happening to the U.S.
By Andy Brack, Charleston City Paper
CHARLESTON, S.C. | It’s been a sad year for America.
Since Jan. 20, 2025, we’ve had a president actively working to impede – some would say destroy – our democracy.
It’s hard to understand how a president who incited hundreds of Capitol insurrectionists in 2021 and then pardoned them for their protests can now be sending armed federal thugs into cities to assault protesters of a different ilk. How hypocritical.
It’s hard to understand how the very same president can support an ICE crackdown in Minneapolis where agents killed a suburban mom in a van when he is threatening Iran with bombs for using government thugs to kill thousands of protesters. How sanctimonious.
It’s hard to understand how a president can pick a former heroin addict and vaccine denialist to run a national health agency that has weakened recommendations that have kept American children healthy for decades. And now thanks to anti-vax denialism, vaccination rates are below herd immunity levels in South Carolina, where the Upstate has become the nation’s measles outbreak hotspot. How stupid.
It’s hard to understand how a president who cozies up to authoritarian leaders from Russia to China had the audacity to shut down the Voice of America, a global radio network that pushed the principles of freedom and helped foster democracy. How undemocratic.
It’s hard to understand how a president has the gumption to accept the world’s largest bribe – a $400 million jet – from Qatar when his family is making millions in business from oil gazillionaires all over the Middle East. How corrupt.
It’s hard to understand how a president who so covets a Nobel Peace Prize bombed seven countries in 2025 without congressional authority. And he then suckered a Venezuelan to give him her Peace Prize medal. Seems authoritarian and misleading.
It’s hard to understand how an American president who holds big grudges can turn the U.S. Justice Department into an agency that targets and prosecutes people who he perceives as political enemies. How unjust.
It’s hard to understand how the president can’t understand basic economics, how tariffs are paid by American consumers, not foreigners, and how businesses and farms are forced to shutter because they can’t afford inflated prices caused by the president’s tariff policies. How idiotic.
It’s hard to understand how too many Americans put up with a president who is a convicted felon and continues to run from his involvement in a scandal blooming from his sex predator buddy. And how the president constantly tries to skitter away by making grand pronouncements, like a need for taking Greenland, or deadly action, like bombing Venezuela, just to deflect attention from the Epstein scandal. How criminal.
It’s hard to understand how Republicans in Congress put up with all of this scandal, nonsense, misinformation, disinformation, lying and corruption.
And yet, the dysfunction that’s drowning democracy continues. Fortunately, protesters aren’t giving up. Fortunately, more people are speaking out, just like former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton did this week when they explained why they wouldn’t testify before a rigged congressional committee. In a personal note to U.S. Rep. James Comer, R-Kentucky, they wrote:
“Continue to mislead Americans about what is truly at stake, and you will learn that Americans are better at finding the truth than you are at burying it. … Continue to abet the dismantling of America, and you will learn that it takes more than a wrecking ball to demolish what Americans have built over 250 years.”
Yes, it’s been a sad year in America. But true patriots who believe in democracy and freedom will not let either die.

It was a perfect way to start J.K. Murphy’s story
JAN. 23, 2026 | It was for J.K. Murphy a great way to start a recent commentary. Murphy is a fellow newspaperman and publisher of the Gwinnett Daily Post, who lives in Lawrenceville.
He started his recent column by saying: “The thought had never crossed my mind.”
You see, Murphy is a native of Indiana, a graduate (1980) of Indiana University, and got his first newspaper job in Indiana before landing at the Gwinnett Daily Post in 1998.
He was writing about his alma mater’s 2026 football season, winning the college championship and having an undefeated 16-0 perfect season.
Let’s pick up the story in excerpt from JK himself:
The thought had never crossed my mind.
The Indiana University Hoosiers are national champions … in FOOTBALL!
This just could be the Cinderella story of all Cinderella stories. The losingest team in college football, the team that posted more losses than wins in 82 of the last 126 years, the team that hadn’t won its conference for nearly 60 years is, let me repeat, national champions.
To say that, for generations, Hoosier fans kept expectations low for IU football is an understatement.
Let me be clear. National champions are common on the IU campus, but in other sports — soccer, swimming, track and most notably, basketball.
Five times, the IU men’s basketball team reached the pinnacle — 1940, ’53, ’76, ’81, ’87 — and my four years on the Bloomington campus were at the heart of the Bob Knight-led heyday of Indiana basketball.
They won it all in 1976 (to this day, the last men’s college hoops squad to go undefeated through the season and NCAA Tournament — 32-0).
The (football) turnaround began with the arrival of coach Curt Cignetti.
Consider that the Hoosiers couldn’t muster more than four wins in any of the three seasons prior to Cignetti’s arrival.
Last year, Cignetti’s first, the Hoosiers went 11-2 — the first 11-win season in IU history. He followed that with this year’s perfect season and the championship, making his record at IU 27-2.
Luckily, the Rose Bowl win advanced the Hoosiers to Atlanta’s Peach Bowl. With Indiana in the semifinals just down the road, I had to be there.
After monitoring ticket prices daily, an email popped into my inbox. A colleague from the Kiwanis Club of Marietta just happened to have a couple of extra tickets to the IU-Oregon matchup and “wanted to offer them to you since I remembered you were an Indiana alumnus.”
Membership does have its privileges.
My IU roommate made the trek from Indianapolis and we hit downtown Atlanta about six hours before the Peach Bowl kickoff. Hudson Grille on Marietta Street was a sea of red, with nary a Duck in sight. FanFest at the Georgia World Congress Center had only a smattering of green. The same was true at game time inside Mercedes-Benz — 90 percent red with a mere three sections in the corner showing green.
I doubt that stadium had ever been louder than when, on the first play from scrimmage, IU tallied a pick-six. The Hoosiers went on to dominate Oregon with a 56-22 win.
Which brings us to Monday. It was a home game for the Hurricanes, but IU faithful still filled the stands and watched their team beat Miami 27-21.
Indiana is and always will be remembered as a basketball school, but now there’s something else to cheer about. For lifelong Hoosiers, it remains a bit difficult to fathom.
The Indiana University Hoosiers are national champions … in FOOTBALL!”
So, we’re happy for J.K. Murphy and all our local Indianans!

George W. Bush’s immigration plan would have worked
By Jack Bernard, contributing columnist
PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. | With over 340 million residents, America is an immigrant nation, the “new world.” Except for about five million native Americans, all of this country’s ancestors once came from another country.
I am the child of a French immigrant, my father. My mother’s parents came from Avelino, Italy. Plus, I have lived in two of the three states with the largest immigrant populations: California (27%) and New York (23%). In Georgia, where I have lived longer than anywhere, our immigrant population is a bit smaller, 12%, although Gwinnett County is 27%.
Relatively recent immigrants, documented and undocumented, represent about one in seven of us, or 15% of the USA population. Generally, immigrants live in cities, where Miami-Dade County which is predominantly immigrant. Rural areas have fewer residents that are foreign born, with three fourths of rural counties being less than six percent immigrant.
Regarding documented immigrants, nearly half (43%) come from Asia, especially India and China. Over a fourth (29%) come from North America, in particular Mexico. The majority remaining one fourth come from Europe (14%), with South America and Africa making up the rest.
Some immigrants come here for school or to be with family. But close to half, 45%, come for work. They represent 18% of all employees, three in seven workers, and 15% of Georgia’s employees. Over 20% of people employed in healthcare nationwide are foreign born.
It is hard to determine exactly what the figures are related to undocumented immigrants, which is where the key current policy questions lie. It is estimated that there are 14 million unauthorized people in the nation. Between 2021 and 2023, the number of undocumented immigrants increased by 3.5 million people, the largest increase in US history.
Americans generally support legal immigration. It is the unregulated border security that they have a problem with. Two thirds of GOP voters now want undocumented workers deported, up from 54% a few years ago.
Still, it is usually the jobs that Americans do not want that are filled by the undocumented. Many times these are jobs like fixing a roof, which usually is done by men who do not speak a word of English.
Our immigration problem is fixable. The solution is not to hire unqualified men and put masks on their faces to intimidate frightened men, women and children.
I am generally not a fan of President George W. Bush, but he believed in coming up with a bi-partisan approach to immigration reform. His plan was excellent, but rejected by both parties. And to this day, the two parties continue to fight over the issue rather than solve the problem. To quote the Brookings Institute- the Bush plan “failed after encountering a crossfire of objections from both the left and the right.’”
To summarize, President George W. Bush’s 2007 plan was built around these points:
- Securing our Southern border;
- Holding employers responsible for who they hire;
- Providing temporary visas for those already here;
- Getting undocumented immigrants out of the shadows; and
- Assimilation via learning our language and other means.
If there was the desire, Republican and Democratic political leaders can still pass and implement this plan. All it takes is the political will.

Clyde does not deserve to be my congressman
Editor, the Forum:
In Congressman Andrew Clyde’s recent newsletter, he stated that 82 percent of the people he represents favored his positions. However, when I took his survey, the only answers available were those supportive of his positions. This is not an accurate picture of his support and no way to test the sentiment of your people.
Andrew Clyde, unfortunately, is misleading his voters. The following are his positions:
- Andrew Clyde has secured American elections. However, the reality is Trump has done nothing but deny election results and to restrict ballot access.
- Andrew Clyde has codified President Trump’s border security actions. The reality is Trump unfortunately has imposed draconian, gestapo tactics to enforce immigration problems.
- Andrew Clyde has stopped waste, fraud, and abuse of tax payers dollars. Really, the reality is the Trump Administration unleashed a wave of poorly planned firings and cancellations of necessary government services that ultimately cost the American government over a billion dollars.
- Andrew Clyde has guaranteed health care freedom. WHAT? The reality is THAT Trump’s financial policies will increase the cost of medical insurance and make it harder to access medical services. He has canceled a number of important medical research programs. He has made vaccines harder to get.
- Andrew Clyde has protected Americans’ second amendment rights. However, gun deaths increase each year with no restrictions of warlike weaponry. It is noted that Andrew Clyde is a gun dealer who profits from his second amendment position.
- Andrew Clyde has held activist judges accountable. In fact, the reality is that activists judge’s decisions include; Brown vs Board of Education (desegregation), Roe vs Wade (abortion), Obergefell vs Hodges (same sex marriage), and Citizens United vs FEC (campaign finance).
All in all, Andrew Clyde violates every good thing our government stands for. He does NOT deserve to be my Congressman.

Gwinnett candidate for governor has bill on data centers
Gwinnett State Representative and Democratic Candidate for governor, Ruwa Romman, has introduced House Bill 1012 that would place a moratorium on new data center projects until 2027. This would provide time for Georgians to vote on the majority of the Public Service Commission seats who make final decisions on energy related projects and enable municipal, county, and state level officials to update their policies before we permanently alter the landscape of our state.
She says: “This is a common sense measure that allows us to take a breather before permanently altering the landscape of our state. It gives us time to assess the impact of these projects and look at updated figures for the actual revenue these data centers provide. It also lets us look into the actual impact on our water supply and work to prevent another Tri-State Water War. This is particularly important because, for the first time in 35 years, we are not in significant litigation over our shared river systems with Alabama and Florida.”
Here are key facts about the bill:
- Only applies to data centers;
- First legislation of its kind in a state legislature;
- Moratorium only applies to new data center projects;
- Will begin once the bill is signed and end March 2027; and
- Is simply a breather to provide adequate time to assess the impact of these data centers
Rep. Romman serves on the Energy, Utility, and Telecommunications committee. This bill is part of the Representative’s efforts to bring down utility rates for Georgians. Last year, she introduced House Bill 617 that would reestablish the Consumer Utility Council, an office dedicated to protecting Georgia consumers.
New GGC baseball coach is Goodale
Tommy Goodale has been named the third head baseball coach at Georgia Gwinnett College. Goodale most recently was an assistant coach at perennial junior college powerhouse LSU Eunice. He returns to Lawrenceville after being an assistant coach during the Grizzlies’ successful 2022 and 2023 seasons.
Goodale replaces Jeremy Sheetinger, who departed after six seasons for a leadership position within Major League Baseball’s Washington Nationals minor league complex in West Palm Beach, Fla.
Between positions at GGC and LSU-Eunice, Goodale was the first base coach and outfield instructor at Division I Murray State University for the 2024 season. The Racers set team records with 464 runs scored, 591 hits, 102 home runs, and 437 runs batted in while compiling a 37-20 record.
Goodale’s coaching career started at St. Ambrose University (Iowa). Goodale earned a bachelor’s degree in business management, with an emphasis in leadership, from St. Ambrose in 2018 and a master’s degree in sports management from Southern Mississippi in 2020.
GGC is scheduled to begin the 2026 season on January 30 with games against Rust College (Mississippi) and Midway University (Kentucky) at the Grizzly Baseball Complex.
Strangers in Time, by David Baldacci
From Elizabeth T. Neace, Dacula: This is the story of two teenagers, Charlie Matters, from a poor section of London, and Mary Wakefield, from a very affluent section, during the bombing of London in World War II. Charlie and Mary are in dire circumstances, having lost their parents and their homes, and facing the possibility of being sent to an orphanage. They become acquainted with a gentleman who saves them from that horrible existence. The book is an eye-opening glimpse into the devastation of London and the lives of the citizens as they frantically seek shelter from the bombs and experience dwindling supplies of already-rationed food and coal.

Milledgeville college was once the state penitentiary
Georgia was one of the first southern states to build a penitentiary to confine criminals. In 1803, when the city of Milledgeville was chosen to replace Louisville as the capital of Georgia, a square of 16 acres was set aside for a penitentiary.
A legislative committee was set up in 1810 to revise Georgia’s penal code and to set up a penitentiary. Construction on the facility began in 1812 and was completed in December 1816. The edifice included a wing for male prisoners, prison workshops, and the principal keeper or warden’s house. The penitentiary occupied only a small portion of the square because two academies and the county courthouse shared the site as well.
During the early 19th century, Georgians came to believe that criminals could be reformed if they were confined in a penitentiary. It was believed that criminals should be removed from all association with society so that they would be able to contemplate their actions and repent.
People believed that while a troublemaker might have scoffed at the traditional idea of branding or whipping as punishment, “the prospect of confinement in the penitentiary . . . would put fear in his heart.” Georgia followed the examples of early penal reform in Pennsylvania as a model.
The penitentiary was governed by a board of inspectors. The board, composed of nine men who were appointed each year by the General Assembly, was responsible for appointing a principal keeper, a turnkey, and one deputy for every ten convicts. Two members of the board were required to visit the penitentiary twice a week. Food for the inmates consisted of bread, Indian meal, and a daily ration of meat such as pork.
Throughout the history of the institution there were relatively few female prisoners. Original legislation for the penitentiary called for a separate wing for women. Although many of the principal keepers urged legislators to appropriate funds for this purpose, the state never made provisions for females. The few women incarcerated there were housed in one room on the second floor near the kitchen. They typically did sewing and similar work.
During the Civil War (1861-1865) the penitentiary was used as an armory. Prisoners began manufacturing rifles, bayonets, and other armaments to supply the Confederate armies. With General William T. Sherman approaching Milledgeville in 1864 on the infamous March to the Sea, Governor Joseph E. Brown pardoned almost all of the prisoners with the stipulation that they help defend the city of Milledgeville from invading Union troops.
After the Civil War the state attempted to rebuild the damaged penitentiary, and prisoners were once again held there. By this time a large majority of the prison population was Black. Provisional Governor Thomas Ruger initiated the convict lease system in May 1868, leasing 100 prisoners to work on the Georgia and Alabama Railroad. By 1869 almost the entire population of the penitentiary had been transferred to Grant, Alexander, and Company to work on the Macon and Brunswick Railroad. The railroad company rather than the state was then responsible for feeding and clothing the convicts. A major reason that Georgia began using the convict lease system was that it was becoming too costly to maintain a penitentiary.
The original penitentiary buildings began to decay from disuse in the 1870s and fell into such disrepair that the acre was cleared for the potential development of commercial enterprises. The square is now home to Georgia College and State University.

A tall building for you to ponder

Today’s mystery photo is a tall, tall building among other high skyscrapers. See if you can place where this edifice is located. Send your answers to ebrack2@gmail.com.
Stewart Ogilvie, Rehobeth, Ala., told us: “This is Mt. Baker and the New Dungeness Lighthouse, which are iconic landmarks on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. They are often seen together in photographs from the Dungeness Spit, especially during clear winter days when the distant, snow-capped volcano provides a stunning backdrop to the historic lighthouse at the end of the long, sandy spit near Sequim, requiring a challenging five-mile hike for access.” The photograph came from former Georgia Gwinnett College professor Dr. Michael Gagnon, now retired in Washington state.
Also recognizing it were Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; George Graf, Palmyra, Va. and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, who wrote:
“Today’s mystery photo contains yet another lighthouse! It is the New Dungeness Lighthouse, located in the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge in Sequim, Wash., with Mount Baker in the background.
“Situated at the tip of Dungeness Spit, New Dungeness Lighthouse was the first U.S. lighthouse built in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, a body of water that serves as the principal outlet from the Salish Sea to the Pacific Ocean and part of the international boundary between the U.S. and Canada. The lighthouse’s first lighting occurred on December 14, 1857, and has been operating since that time. It was originally 91 feet tall, but deteriorated over time and was reduced to its current height of 63 feet in 1927.
‘But no doubt the real star of today’s mystery photo is the large, snow-capped mountain peak dominating the background of the photo, Mount Baker, an active stratovolcano located in the North Cascades of Washington. Mount Baker stands 10,781 feet high, making it the third-highest mountain in Washington State, following Mount Rainier and Mount Adams. The last confirmed eruption occurred in 1880, and as of today, the volcano is at a “Normal” alert level. There are no signs that Mount Baker is likely to have a major eruption in the near future.”
