This NW Georgia cattle farmer - and Congressional candidate - has beef with Trump's tariff policies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Shawn Harris , vying to unseat Republican Clay Fuller in Georgia's 14th Congressional district, is also a cattle farmer, and like many in the trade, is suffering mightily under Trump's looming beef import plan. Hear how it's literally impacting his and other farmers' wallets, and how Harris' dogged pursuit to represent the rural northwest Georgia district once held by Marjorie Taylor Green actually gets boosts from her social media tirades even if that's not her intent. The former brigadier gene
Ragsdale's rally rant & the aftermath: intimidating Cobb's teachers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At Cobb County's 'Back to School' faculty rally, superintendent (and Trump fan-boy) went off on a 12-plus minutes long political bender that sent dozens of Cobb educators heading for the aisles and exits, prompting scrutiny from the school system. On with me to discuss the event, the tone, the aftermath and the intimidatory effect of the grilling teachers are taking (will there be disciplinary action?) and how one school board race in that county could change everything (eventually) is freelance

Read excerpt
Marilyn Marks, executive director at the Coalition for Good Governance , has long warned that Georgia's physical set-up for voting at precincts - using illuminated touch screens - violates Georgia Constitutional law by denying one's right to privacy when voting. It turns out, that's not the only way "ne'er do wells" can find out how you voted: she tipped off a Princeton University researcher that she could use Chat GPT to find out how a handful of Heard County voters voted, and he experimented w
Dickens is correct but also wrong in his DNC snub letter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
PLUS: Alpharetta's aversion to icky renters & why would a Billy Linville crossover endorsement matter when Rick cant' get Burt on board? Earlier this week, the Democratic Party announced its finalists for the 2028 DNC convention and Atlanta didn't make the shortlist (Denver, Philadelphia and Boston all did); a decision that - on its face - is sort of inexplicable given Georgia's teetering on the brink of flipping blue with a good solid nudge or two and that the aforementioned finalists have all
