The changes would […]

A new report from American Rivers ranks the Suwannee River as the 10th most endangered river in the country, citing nitrate pollution and heavy groundwater withdrawals. The Suwannee remains one of the Southeast’s few largely undammed rivers, beginning in the Okefenokee Swamp and flowing south into Florida. Peter Raabe, the Southeast regional director for American Rivers, said problems originating upstream are affecting the entire watershed. "It is not being able […]

The un-snubbing: Jason Esteves, Derrick Jackson & Olu Brown get my air time

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) […]

Athens poo-poos TP(USA) & Eric Erickson writes the obvious: GOP in for a drubbing

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 […]

The ‘gas’-lighting has to end: Biden inherited oil woes | What if I were on ‘NewsNight’ Monday night?

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 […]

Debating a debate, 2028 messaging and the perplexing Panitch

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 […]

Amanda Litman: The mantra still, is “Run For Something!”

Hosts Caroline and Debra are no strangers to "getting off the sidelines" and choosing to dive into politics. For Caroline it was swiping right on a dating app just to get an "in" with a presidential campaign she wound up interning and working for. For Debra, it was the 'Dobbs' decision from the US Supreme Court that spurred her into action, inevitably running for office. Their guest this week founded […]
