LAWRENCEVILLE, GA — A Gwinnett County magistrate judge and longtime local politician has resigned from his court position after being suspended over controversial posts he made on Facebook.
Jim Hinkle, a part-time judge who has served on the court for 14 years, resigned Wednesday, Chief Magistrate Judge Kristina Hammer Blum said in a written statement. Blum had suspended Hinkle indefinitely after his Facebook posts came to light on Saturday.
“For 14 years, Judge Hinkle has dutifully served this court,” Blum said in her statement. “He is a lifelong public servant and former Marine. However, he has acknowledged that his statements on social media have disrupted the mission of this Court, which is to provide justice for all."
In other posts, Hinkle has condemned Islam as a violent religion.
By Wednesday morning, Hinkle appeared to have either deleted his Facebook account or set it to a private setting. But the Atlanta Journal Constitution captured images of his posts before he did so.
Later, he wrote “The nut cases tearing down monuments are equivalent to ISIS destroying history.”
In her statement, Blum made clear the suspension came because the posts jeopardized Hinkle’s position as an unbiased arbiter of the law….

They’ve been goodified so to speak.
The flaw is that other countries were not to the place they could make all the changes desired.
The thought is going to be realized by President Trump. It has been 20 years since Pat made those pronouncements. They were pie in the sky at the time, 1930’s thinking. Pat was and I think still is , a 1930’s Republican. Since then there has been tremendous change and advancement in the world. The magnitude and effect of that change is either unknown or ignored by many. That’s why I recommended the Korean Netflix TV series “Incomplete Life”.
President Trump is not like Pat Buchanan, unrealistically naive, he knows the score. He knows the change will permit some of the gross protectionism to be relaxed and eliminated. His task is to carefully select and then make deals that are realistically possible.
So we should allow an unfair competition with our own people because the other people can't meet the standards we set for our own? What is the point of having a nation with borders again?
That’s why I recommended the Korean Netflix TV series “Incomplete Life”.
I would be interested in watching it, but I don't have a Netflix account, and my internet service doesn't have the necessary bandwidth to provide a decent play stream anyway.

I am not a big supporter of protectionism, but the book "The Rhinemann exchange" had a big impact on the way I view deals with nations that do not necessarily have our best interests at heart.
It may be fiction, but it builds a good case for the moral dilemma of trading with people who have a very different idea bout "rights" and "morality" than do you. Not everything devolves down to economics or immediate benefit.
I think the only official vacations I suffered through were the ones in summer while I was in school. They were all spent playing school catchup as the new school in our new location my military moving family was headed to was sure to be way ahead of the previous school. Amazingly enough, my father was the sole breadwinner back in the forties, fifties and sixties.
I am in hopes our future trade policy should at a minimum benefit “the people” and the country, before anything else.

Seems unbelievable, doesn’t it, that one salary supported the breadwinner and his wife and children.
What this should reveal to us is just how much the privately-owned Federal Reserve, along with politicians, overspent, plunged the country into debt, and inflated prices.
The resulting inflated prices in turn squeezed families to the point that the spouse had to seek work outside the home. The marriage and children suffered accordingly.
When I was young, I recall feeling so sorry for those poor mothers in Soviet Russia, who were forced to leave their children in day care for others to raise, while they worked in the factories.
And look at us now. No wonder my mother used to say “Better dead than red”.
Let’s call it Confedernacht
