New data obtained by ⁠The Current⁠ and Georgia Recorder (thanks to a FOIA request) shows ⁠Affordable Care Act enrollment in Georgia slumped by more than one-third ⁠at the start of 2026, on the heels of pandemic-era enhanced subsidies going away (remember the government shutdown last fall?). With outgoing Governor Brian Kemp thinking 2028 might be fertile territory for him to tout his era of governance, this won't age well; but […]

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) […]

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 […]

USA Today ⁠conservative political columnist Ingrid Jacques pounced on Rahm Emanuel's words⁠ last week, along with American mobility trends that shows that liberals & progressives (get this) move around the country. That people are fleeing "progressive states" in droves for red states (it's ⁠actually happening to some notable red states⁠, too) and somehow concludes - with all that's going on in the world under the regime of MAGA mayhem - […]

PLUS: Sterling Thrill returns for some 'Friday Funnies' & hell no, I won't feel bad for Kristi Noem The Georgia general assembly session for 2026 came to a close Thursday night, leaving a lot of ugly bills unaddressed (mostly in the House) and ⁠work "yet to be done" that legally has to be addressed⁠ by this summer with regards to election. That said, the fine folks at the⁠ Georgie Recorder […]

Oh, and about the Noems ... With Republicans passing ⁠legislation targeting the five largest metro Atlanta counties⁠ (that their party can't win in) to turn many elections into non-partisan affairs, it often falls on the state's attorney general to defend those bills - if signed into law by the governor - when challenged in court. A former Democratic lawmaker and House minority leader - ⁠Bob Trammell⁠ - seeks to re-enter […]
