Commentary: Protect Georgians’ Prescription Drug Access

Greg Tapley

As the vice president and Chief Financial Officer of a Middle Georgia ambulance service, I’ve seen firsthand how the exorbitant cost of healthcare is a heavy burden on Georgians from all walks of life. This isn’t just a problem for the sick or the elderly, it’s a shared struggle we must all confront together. 

A recent study ranked Georgia as the worst state in the nation for healthcare, a stark reminder of the urgent need for change. The study cited high costs, the lack of doctors (particularly specialists), and unaffordable insurance as the prime reasons for this designation. Nearly fifteen percent of Georgians deferred seeing a doctor within the last twelve months due to concerns about costs, and almost one in seven residents lacked health insurance.

Illegal Immigrants

Over 40 sheriffs condemned the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the border crisis in a letter sent Tuesday, and further warned that more migrants would devastate small-town America.

The letter, signed by sheriffs in Pennsylvania, Washington and Illinois among other states, accuses the Biden-Harris administration of letting in 10 to 15 million illegal immigrants over the last four years, saying that the U.S. deserves a president that “prioritizes the safety and security of the American people” by securing the border from illegals and drugs. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has encountered over 7 million migrants at the southern border since president Joe Biden took office in January 2021, according to CBP statistics.

But now the federal government is on board: In 2023, the Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a $1 million grant to integrate gender ideology into juvenile justice and child welfare systems nationwide.

Campaign to Discredit Opposition to Wind, Solar has Financial Connections to Renewable Advocates

by Kevin Killough   Local opposition has become a formidable force in resisting the growth of wind and solar power. Opponents have concerns including the impact on whales by offshore wind development, the gobbling up of limited agricultural land by solar companies, the degradation of grid reliability and the high costs of renewable energy. As the projects spread across rural America and along the nation’s coasts, residents of communities are forming grassroots opposition to the projects. In response to the growing opposition, some researchers and media outlets are engaged in a campaign to portray these grassroots efforts as being funded by oil companies who are trying to stop competition from other energy sources. Opponents of wind and solar projects say the effort is a smear campaign that is itself connected to the renewable energy industries. “What they do is they take the information we’re getting to people, and they spin it. And then they give their own little explanation, which is verbatim what the wind companies say,” Mandy Davis, president of the National Offshore-wind Opposition Alliance (NOOA), told Just the News. Hit pieces A study by Columbia University’s Sabin Center for Climate Change Law published in June concluded that local opposition is becoming the primary impediment to the…
