The Politics Bar After Hours - Women Are Smarter Than Men
PLUS: Thurmond's endorsement gets: plums or prunes? Also, Keisha's list was ... something to see & Esteves' list is long. - -- Coming off a third - and impressive - 'No Kings Day' weekend, it was in listening to (marveling at) Rev. Senator Raphael Warnock deliver a "no notes" speech in Atlanta Saturday that somehow aligned well against the faux religiosity on display at CPAC on the same weekend. The […]
Millions of Americans will take part in the third 'No Kings Day' multi-pronged protest today, and yet there are those who question the efficacy. "The needle isn't moving" said one Substack scribe, and she's not wrong, but she isn't just talking about the last year. 'Occupy Wall Street' was fifteen years ago. FIFTEEN YEARS! On this week's "Politics Girl" podcast, host Leigh McGowan and guest Ezra Levin opine that it’s […]
Marilyn Marks is no stranger to The Ron Show. Today, the executive director of the Coalition for Good Governance joined to raise the alarm volume on a bill that state Senator Greg Dolezal "zombified" from a Democratic House member's attempt to secure another judicial appointment for her home county. In HB960, Dolezal essentially stripped its intent and instead pumped a bunch of what the organization calls "numerous unworkable provisions," not […]
Likened to useless "Ken and Barbie dolls" by TSA union representation, TSA agents in Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport aren't able to do much to lessen the long, winding lines of passengers trying to clear security to make their flights on-time. CBS News Congressional correspondent Taurean Small tells me if there's any chance a deal to fund DHS gets done before the 'No Kings' weekend. Local Atlanta TV station WANF provided […]
PLUS: How did Trump find another district attorney who's a poor debater? A southeast Georgia woman charged with murder for using an abortion pill (with oxycodone) was granted a symbolically low bond by a judge who expressed doubt the charge will even stick. Also, will the woman - Alexia Moore - have a valid case to sue the hospital upon learning one of its security guards violated her HIPPA rights […]
PLUS: Clay Fuller's "word salad" exchange, SCOTUS may spark a Trumper-tantrum & Sarah Huckabee Sanders plays 'victim' again Melita Easters, executive director at the Georgia WIN List, joined me Monday morning to discuss the most recent tragic story from Georgia in the aftermath of that state's passage of a six-week abortion ban: a southeast Georgia woman was arrested after using an abortion pill with oxycodone while pregnant, resulting in the […]
Friday's Ron Show features a weekly comedic therapy session; therapeutic for me if for no one else, that is. My good friend Sterling Thrill - stand up & virtual comedian & political satirist - gives me my weekly 'break' from the headlines ... to laugh at those headlines, to start the show off on this edition. Then, the nasty race for the GOP nomination for Georgia's governor's race is the […]
PLUS: why 'electability' is the determining factor for my decision to vote for Jason Esteves & what happened to "Tulsi: 2020?" Atlanta Journal Constitution columnist Bill Torpy wrote of a recent anti-Muslim AI-generated video state Senator Greg Dolezal shared on social media - not just to pile on with the immense disgust for it (which came not just from Democrats), but also to pinpoint this being the moment former state […]
PLUS: Why is Donald Trump averse to listening to his experts when it comes to Iran? Social Circle city officials closed off and locked the newly-purchased DHS warehouse utility box - meaning "no water for ICE," and no access to sewer services, either. [RELATED: Quinnipiac poll: 64% want path to legal status for most undocumented immigrants] Georgia seems to be primed to move back to using hand-marked paper ballots ... […]
