Lookout for a New Book: Communism for Kids

 The Washington Free Beacon reports that “Communism for Kids,” written by a German author who specializes in political theory and “queer politics,” was released last month. The thesis of the children’s book is that communism is “not that hard,” but has not been implemented in the right way.

The publication of Communism for Kids is an example of trouble on the horizon. It presents political theory in the simple terms of a children’s story, with illustrations of lovable little revolutionaries experiencing their political awakening. The press kit that comes with the book described the set-up with this: “Once upon a time, people yearned to be free of the misery of capitalism. How could their dreams come true?” Then, the author admits that the book is geared not only to kindergartners, but is perfect for all ages and all who desire a better world.

Lookout: Communism/Socialism Planned for U.S.A.

Communist Party USA has announced a “Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America.” Party members say they are planning for a “revolution” against capitalism, with violence if necessary, because they think the “present capitalist-imperialist system” should be replaced with a “radically new economic system.”

Thanks for Prohibiting Sanctuary Colleges in Georgia

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, May 5, 2017 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

What a relief it was when H.B. 37 passed this session. It’s a ray of hope for law-abiding citizens who believe that national boundaries should be respected and laws should be enforced against violators. Today, I applaud Representative Earl Ehrhart, who introduced H.B. 37, and Representatives England, Morris, Williams and Petrea who co-signed it. Also, I want to thank the 112 House members and 37 senators that voted for it. Thanks to them, the law against illegal entry into the United States has more teeth in it in Georgia.

While that doesn’t mean illegal aliens will be sent back home, Representative Ehrhart’s bill prohibits sanctuary policies in private colleges and universities and punishes them for adopting a regulation, rule, policy, or practice that gives safe space for students who are here illegally. Since crossing the border is illegal, individuals, agencies and organizations are encouraging illegal behavior if they protect illegals from federal and state immigration laws.

Because a Georgia county, reportedly, harbors illegal aliens, Georgia is listed among states that provide sanctuary, despite a 2016 state law that made it illegal for publicly-funded programs and local governments to provide sanctuary. The 2016 law applies to state colleges and universities because they are publicly funded by taxes, but it does not apply to private institutions. So, H.B. 37 corrected that by prohibiting sanctuary policies in private colleges and universities, as well. Continue reading

Fantasy Football, Basketball, Hockey,
Golf, Soccer, Auto Racing, etc.

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, April 28, 2017 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

On January 25th, Cedartown Representative Trey Kelley introduced H.B. 118 entitled, “Fantasy Contests Act,” so let me explain why I’m glad his bill did not pass.

DraftKings.com that was founded in Boston in 2012 quickly became a huge Daily Fantasy Sports site that paid $75 million in outside funding to gobble up two major competitors. DraftKings.com was so successful that the Wall Street Journal wrote about it, and so did theBoston GlobeBusiness WireForbesTech Crunch, the New York Times and several others. Also, you might’ve noticed DraftKings [sic] ads on TV and radio.

Fantasy sports gambling began with the NFL but expanded into baseball, basketball, hockey, golf, soccer and auto racing.  Players win REAL CASH PRIZES, and DraftKings proudly boasts of paying out $2 billion since it went into business.  If $2 billion went to winners, think how much more than that DraftKings pocketed in a business that’s illegal in Georgia!

The Georgia Attorney General’s office declared that “fantasy sports constitutes illegal gambling and are not allowed under Georgia law.”  Also, Congress voted overwhelmingly in 2006 to extend the federal interstate gambling ban to the internet.  However, fantasy sports gambling has been shoved through a tiny loophole in the federal law and has become so popular that, today, the 50 million fantasy sports gamblers outnumber gamblers in Las Vegas!

Big-Time Correction!

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, April 21, 2017 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

I need to correct an error I made last week in my report. When I re-read H.B. 510, I found that only the (d) Section of Georgia Code 3-3-21 is being repealed, and there’s no possibility that a casino or liquor store or beer garden will be built next to a school or church or public housing development in Georgia.

That means, H.B. 510 is a good bill that repeals Section (d) to equalize distance requirements on alcoholic businesses in all counties, regardless of population. Currently, counties with 175,000 to 195,000 residents are required to measure distances from the property-line of the business to the property-line of the school, church or housing development. H.B. 510, simply, makes the distance from building-to-building in highly populated counties, as it always has been in other counties.

When H.B. 510 becomes law July 1st, sales of distilled spirits will continue to be no less than 200 yards from a school or college or other educational building; the sale of wine or other malt beverages will continue to be at least 100 yards away, and restrictions on selling liquor-by-the-drink in hotels, private clubs and other businesses will not change.
