“I’m amazed that anyone would leave their purse laying around in any store long enough for money to be taken from it. That’s just asking for something to happen. Keep it with you at all times or don’t complain when you’re taken advantage of.”

“I’m so tired of hearing these snowflake whiners complain that America is not America anymore and that somebody kicked God out of the schools. Good news: America is still America; millions of people have immigrated since the early 1600s including your ancestors, and millions are still trying to get to the land of opportunity and there is still an abundance of opportunity. And by the way, nobody is powerful enough to kick God out of anywhere, except that you can choose to block God from your own heart. Apparently you have.”

“If a person lies to Judge Judy, she says ‘Now I don’t believe a word you say.’ She would have a field day with Donald Trump.”

“The motto of the Georgia GOP: ‘Not technically illegal.”

“Oh my goodness. I heard that China is going to raise the price of dishwashers. I never had a dishwasher until I got married and then I never used it because you have to wash the dishes off before you put them in the dishwasher anyway. My mom used to always say I have dishwashers — kids!”

“No one should be shocked that Lyle Grant got out of it.”

“I really, really, really, really want to hear the Whitfield County Sheriff’s Office’s side of this Lyle Grant situation. Like the old saying goes, there’s more to this story and I would imagine it is very interesting.”

“Next time Joe Citizen gets pulled over by the cops and they find a little weed in his car, I fully expect him not to be taken to jail or be cited. He will be released and the investigation will be turned over to an independent state agency to look into. The case will drag on for two months and be passed off to a grand jury. That’s the precedent that’s been set.”

“The Democrats must be running out of excuses. They’re going after the president’s golf game now.”

“A woman wants to have an abortion believes she has that right under the human reasoning of a woman has a right to her own body. Then under the exact same reasoning, she must be destroying what is part of her own body.”

“In one of the many areas in which I’m not a typical Dalton or Northwest Georgia resident, I will compliment a well-written letter to the editor or a well-written comment in the Forum even those that I strongly disagree with. The comment I have in mind is the person that commented on the Hollywood people pulling the movie production our of Georgia because of the new abortion law.”

“Is there some kind of new scam where people are calling you and saying that they have just received a call from your number? I’ve had that happen four times in the past two days and there was nobody here but me, and I definitely didn’t make any calls. If anybody else is having of this going on, would you please call into the Forum and let us know.”
