Jimmy Carter's family farm outside Plains, Georgia to be opened to the public after $8.5 million sale

The family farm where President Jimmy Carter tended peanuts, corn and sugarcane as a boy and later returned throughout his life will be preserved and opened to the public. Preservation group The Conservation Fund said Monday that it has acquired the farm as part of a 2,458-acre purchase. The farm is just outside Plains, Georgia, the 39th president's hometown. Carter spent his youth exploring the woods around the farm and returned many times as an adult to walk with his wife Rosalynn and hunt, the fund said.

Braves manager Walt Weiss finishes runner-up in NL Manager of the Year voting

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss took over a mediocre 76-86 team from the retiring Brian Snitker after it missed the postseason for the first time in seven seasons. And in his first year at the helm, Weiss brought home a National League East title. He also earned a nomination for NL Manager of the Year, but he finished second to Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy, who led the Brewers to their first World Series title and won the award for the third straight year.

Recounting fraudulent ballots is going to yield exactly zero point shit squared to the nth power. Exactly the value of the PCAPS and the wireshark knock off device.

Moderna's wicked new flu product (mFLUSIVA) just came out two months ago. Already there are 48 reports of injury in VAERS, representing a small fraction of the whole. They read very much like the early reports of the Covid poisons. Same signs. V-Safe entries clock the decline from fatigue to injection-site pain to headaches to rashes to GI issues to limb dysfunction and on and on, like a poisoning, ending in disability and sometimes death. You can see all the signs that this is happening right now with this new injection.

Will no one at the FDA stop the madness before it is too late?

For the record, correct the tile assigned in the article- it’s the Past Immediate President of the Georgia NAACP.

Further, this is not the first time I have made this statement. It has been my position for years.

Who Has the Power to Change Stone Mountain?

There is an important distinction between the authority of the Governor of Georgia and the authority of the Georgia General Assembly when it comes to the Confederate carving on Stone Mountain.

Let's start with the law.
Under O.C.G.A. § 50-3-1(c), the carving honoring Confederate leaders on Stone Mountain is specifically protected from alteration, removal, concealment, or obscuring.

Additionally, O.C.G.A. § 12-3-192.1 establishes the statutory purpose of maintaining an appropriate and suitable Confederate memorial.

However, these laws were enacted by the Georgia General Assembly. They are not constitutional mandates that can never be changed.

The Governor's Role:

The Governor has significant executive authority, including the power to appoint members of the Stone Mountain Memorial Association's Board of Directors and designate its chairperson. The Governor can use that authority to influence the Association's leadership, priorities, historical interpretation, and management within the boundaries of existing law.

The Governor cannot simply issue an executive order directing the removal of the carving in direct violation of state law.

The Legislature's Role:

The Georgia General Assembly possesses the legislative authority to amend or repeal the statutes that protect the carving and establish the Confederate memorial's purpose.

If Georgia wants to remove the carving, the Legislature must take responsibility for changing the laws that currently prohibit it.

That is where the political and legislative responsibility lies.

My Position:

I believe it is time for Georgia to have an honest conversation about what we choose to honor on public property.

Stone Mountain belongs to the people of Georgia. Its history should be told honestly and completely, including the Confederacy, slavery, the Lost Cause movement, the revival of the Ku Klux Klan, and the mountain's connection to the struggle for civil rights.

I do not believe taxpayer-supported public property should continue to serve as a monument to the Confederacy.

I want to see the Confederate carving removed, and I believe the Governor and the General Assembly have a responsibility to lead that conversation and pursue a lawful path toward accomplishing it.

The question is no longer simply whether we have the authority to make a change.

The question is whether Georgia's elected leadership has the political courage to do it.

Let's stop debating whether change is possible and start discussing who is willing to make it happen.
