What does the MAGA DOJ need with your personal info?

Also, why are Georgians pessimistic about the future? Could it be that the GOP's created a miserable 'current' for the middle class? Thank goodness there's still remnants of sanity in our legal system despite the flood of Trump-appointed ne'er do-wells. The latest Trump administration judicial loss being⁠ the rebuff of the Trump Department of Justice having access to sensitive voter data⁠ like your social security number, date of birth, drivers […]

Missouri’s Schmitt-head & his media ‘safe space’ epitomize “MAGA”

PLUS: Where's Geoff, Mike and ... Stacey? Former Biden DOJ special prosecutor Jack Smith was made to testify under oath before a Senate Judiciary committee hearing, and Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt (R) "outed" Smith ... as a Caitlin Clark fan ... while trying to "gotcha" Jack into confessing he'd been to Atlanta - because he was at a Hawks/Warriors game on February 3, 2024, which surely meant he met with […]

Rick Jackson isn’t as ‘self-made’ a man as his TV ads want you to believe

Georgia Humanities' President Mary McCartin Wearn wrote⁠ a salient op-ed for the Atlanta Journal Constitution⁠ that fills in a lot of gaps in Rick Jackson's made-for-TV (ads) autobiography. From Team Jackson, you'd believe, he singularly overcame his broken family, alcoholic mother, being a foster child and living in Techwood Homes, without much mention of (as the AJC detailed in a⁠ 2015 biography of Jackson⁠) the disabled uncle (on public assistance) […]

We bought a TV ad? Plus, where’s DOGE with all this ‘non-citizen voter’ & ICE waste?

Between his appearing at half the Texas-Tennessee college game Saturday (wreaking havoc on the coaches' communication equipment) to the Air Force One flyover at halftime (seriously?) to - get this - taxpayer funded TV commercials […]

Will the ‘glass ceiling’ be shattered by black women in Georgia this cycle?

Upon review of my upbringing - between my Mom's almost all-black female staff of co-workers (who'd often babysit my sister and I) and some of my earliest educators in elementary school, to my college (and still) bestie Sonya - I've been influenced by African-American in ways that I have to conclude shaped my civil rights, political and sociological views over time. I'm not saying that makes me better than the […]
