February 20, 2022: George E. Perdue is Back in Town and Ready To Roll

February 26, 2022 by webmaster Leave a Comment

He’s b-a-a-c-k. I’m talking about George. George, as in former Gov. George E. Perdue. He is back from his stint in Washington as Secretary of Agriculture in the Trump Administration and it is a foregone conclusion that the Georgia Board of Regents will officially appoint him Chancellor of the University System of Georgia. The Regents voted unanimously last week to approve … [Read more...] about February 20, 2022: George E. Perdue is Back in Town and Ready To Roll

February 13, 2022: Marjorie Taylor Greene Exposes Chilling Tale Of The Gazpacho Police

February 24, 2022 by webmaster Leave a Comment

As if things couldn’t get worse in Washington, it turns out that U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is spying on members of Congress with police disguised as bowls of cold Spanish soup. That chilling news comes from none other than Georgia  Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. In an interview on One America News, Greene referred to the Capitol police as “Nancy Pelosi’s … [Read more...] about February 13, 2022: Marjorie Taylor Greene Exposes Chilling Tale Of The Gazpacho Police

February 6, 2022: Some Random Thoughts on Some Random Subjects

February 15, 2022 by webmaster Leave a Comment

February is Black History Month. I wonder if there will be any recognition of the accomplishments of Condoleezza Rice, the first Black female secretary of state and the first woman to serve as National Security Advisor, or U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, of Pin Point, Georgia, or renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Benjamin Carson, former secretary of housing and urban … [Read more...] about February 6, 2022: Some Random Thoughts on Some Random Subjects

January 30, 2022: On and Off The Field, The University Of Georgia Is A Winner

February 7, 2022 by webmaster Leave a Comment

As exciting and satisfying as it has been, there is more to the University of Georgia than a College Football National Championship. Way more. I was reminded of that fact when I read UGA president Jere Morehead’s annual State of the University address this week. Take nothing away from that extraordinary achievement on the gridiron but with or without having the best football … [Read more...] about January 30, 2022: On and Off The Field, The University Of Georgia Is A Winner

January 23, 2022: Former Congressman Says Trump Should Support Not Attack Other Republicans

February 2, 2022 by webmaster Leave a Comment

I can think of no stronger and more reputable conservative voice than that of former U.S. Cong. Bob Barr, who represented Georgia's 7th congressional district from 1995 to 2003.  Barr was one of the leaders of the impeachment of President Bill Clinton and authored the Defense of Marriage Act which defined marriage as the union of one man and one woman.  (The act was … [Read more...] about January 23, 2022: Former Congressman Says Trump Should Support Not Attack Other Republicans

Dicktations: Here’s What I’m Thinking

State Sen.Steve Gooch, R-Dahlonega, has announced he is running for lieutenant governor.  Gooch is the guy who said that approving permits to strip-mine the Okefenokee for titanium dioxide to manufacture, among other things, toothpaste whitener is not a legislative matter.  It is up to the bureaucrats to decide. This, despite overwhelming opposition from Georgians across the state.  File that away and remember it when it comes time to vote.  I know I will. … [Read More...] about A long memory

Reader Comments

Yarbrough received over 1,000 email responses last year – both positive and negative. Though most of the emails he receives support his viewpoints, one thing is for sure: Dick Yarbrough’s column speaks to people and they respond. Here is a sampling of email responses Yarbrough has received in the past:

  • Thanks for writing what we all are thinking.
  • I am annoyed by anybody who presumes to know what Georgians think.  And that, sir, includes you.
