The Politics Bar After Hours - Karmic Healing
PLUS: How'd an innocuous Social Circle warehouse somehow improve in value by $100 million in just two years for DHS to have paid that much more for it? Prior to his visit to Rome, GA, today, Donald Trump thought it fitting to take swipes at Atlanta over his perception of the city's crime woes (his Mar A Lago hometown with a higher crime rate per capita, mind you ...) but […]
Caroline and Debra welcome Liuba Grechen Shirley, the Founder and CEO of Vote Mama Foundation and Vote Mama PAC, organizations dedicated to electing mothers to office and breaking down the barriers that keep them out of politics. In 2018, she made history as the first candidate ever to receive FEC approval to use campaign funds for childcare—a victory that opened doors for thousands of candidates nationwide. Liuba has been recognized […]
PLUS: more on the deadly ICE chase in Chatham & how one conspiracy theorist & his debunked claims seem central to the Fulton / FBI raid Ron caught up with Wendy Davis, former Rome city commissioner, Congressional candidate and co-host of Kudzu Vine, for a straightforward look at polling throughout the country in red districts, why Democrats feel more confident about Sen. Jon Ossoff’s 2026 race, and how affordability and […]
Lo and behold, bipartisan voices are urging Trump-led conspiracy theorists to "move on." Both former Governor Roy Barnes (D) and former Senator Saxby Chambliss (R) took to the AJC's Politically Georgia podcast to rail against relitigating the 2020 election, especially after the FBI’s seizure of Fulton County ballots. Ron followed that up, conversing with election data consultant Michael Handelman of Civic Forge Solutions , whose AJC op/ed touched on conspiracy […]
Hey it's Ron; earlier in the week I'd highlighted some sound legislative offerings from Republican women in the Georgia general assembly that I hoped Democrats would join in on and push across the finish line. There's another, giving pharmacists the ability to prescribe HIV prevention medication, again, penned by a Republican. This is encouraging to see. What's discouraging, of course, is that the same Georgia GOP saw fit earlier in […]
PLUS: a SE Georgia community wants nowhere near a nickel refinery, McBath brilliantly plays Pam Bondi & GA Repub infighting ratchets up In Northwest Georgia, Republican Rep. Kasey Carpenter is reviving legislation that would shield carpet manufacturers from PFAS “forever chemical” lawsuits, even though investigations have found contamination in local water and communities. Democratic Congressional candidate Shawn Harris has the preferable messaging, but he's not running against Carpenter; so where […]
PLUS: GA GOP can't handle 'affordability,' so it resorts back to 'anti-trans' measures & the fuss over PFAS in NW Georgia The unsealing of an affidavit that was the basis for the FBI raid of Fulton County's 2020 ballots is raising fresh questions, along with derision from legal experts.. Ron spoke with State Rep. Saira Draper (HD 90) to allow for a Democratic party response, Draper calling the move politically […]
Comedian - "liberal redneck" - Trae Crowder is coming to Atlanta later this month for four nights of side-splitting laughs, so he spent some time jawing with Ron about the current state of politics, of course, but also provide a little background on his rise to fame, how he and his wife have managed to raise their sons to be less "redneck," and most importantly, the proper pronunciation of Trae's […]
Our scheduled conversation with former Dekalb CEO Mike Thurmond got postponed at the last minute, so it was a mad scramble for show fodder today, but ... not too shabby: Ron caught up with with his "amigo," radio consultant Jose Flores to discuss the Bad Bunny-centered Super Bowl halftime show to hear why the performance resonated with Latin Americans near and far. Not enough "culture war?" Now US Olympic athletes […]
