Georgia counties brace for paper ballots as QR code deadline looms Election officials are advising counties to prepare for a move to hand-marked paper ballots for the November election as a July deadline approaches with no other solution in place. After July 1, QR codes can no longer be used to count ballots due to a Georgia law that was passed in 2024. The 2026 legislative session ended in Georgia […]
Trump taps Dr. Erica Schwartz to lead CDC amid agency concerns President Donald Trump has nominated Dr. Erica Schwartz to serve as the next director of the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. Schwartz served as the deputy surgeon general during Trump’s first administration and retired as a Rear Admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.

Plus: Clay Fuller tries out 'satire' for a side hustle and fails. We haven't even crossed the 2026 finish line yet, and already the Democratic party's 2028 field is starting to not only reveal itself but flex its rhetorical might. First up, though, concerns about election integrity have Democrats in Congress wondering (aloud) if the National Guard is going to adhere to Trump or the US Constitution. We (sort of) […]
Calls grow for Kemp to veto bill making some metro elections nonpartisan Republicans and Democrats are calling for Gov. Brian Kemp to veto House Bill 369, a bill that would make some elections nonpartisan in some metro Atlanta counties. If made law, Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb and Clayton counties would see a shift to nonpartisan races for district attorneys, county commissioners, tax commissioners and other local offices. The changes would […]
Kemp weighs bill to bring more international doctors to rural Georgia A bill is now on Gov. Brian Kemp’s desk that could increase the number of medical professionals in Georgia, specifically in rural counties. Senate Bill 427 passed with bipartisan support and would help bring doctors from outside the country to work in rural counties, hospitals and medical schools. Natalie Crawford is the executive director of Georgia First, a nonprofit […]
The more I let it marinate in my mind, the less sense it made - and the more irresponsible it was, in my opinion - that WXIA-TV (11 Alive) and its NexStar TV partners throughout the state hosted a televised / live-streamed Democratic gubernatorial debate with only half the field in the race. Their flimsy / flawed criteria is so thanks in large part to flawed and sporadic (at best) […]
Author and UNG professor Matthew Boedy attended the Tuesday TPUSA rally in downtown Athens and joined me to chew on the woeful turnout and vibe (what there was of one) in the building as JD Vance drifted onto the stage without TPUSA CEO Erika Kirk. --- The one thing you can say about conservative radio pundit Eric Erickson is that he doesn't sugarcoat things for his audience when their preferred […]
PLUS: Scott Soracco is a "fighting fifty" Democrat filling an empty ballot slot - but he's aiming to win, JD Vance's poll numbers are on (not in) the couch and GA gubernatorial talk. I've said for years now, the spike in oil and gas prices, and subsequently everything we bought & paid for while Joe Biden wa sin office, was due in large part to one key decision then-President Donald […]
PLUS: CBS News White correspondent Olivia Rinaldi on Trump's 'Strait talk' & Tucker says the obvious (for once) Wednesday night, WXIA-TV (11 Alive) will livestream online a Democratic gubernatorial debate (live on WATL-TV as well) with just three of the six candidates running, culling the field to three based on a six-week-old poll while ignoring a two-week old poll that shows it's at minimum a four-person race. I'm curious how […]
