Why "now's not the time" with NRA-backed politicians

The Ron Show ·

2024/09/09

Georgia House Democrats Friday urged a special session from Governor Brian Kemp (R - NRA) to address what they believe are needed legislative reforms in the aftermath of the Apalachee High School mass shooting. They won't get one, because problem-solving isn't big on Kemp's "to do" list, but proposed legislation like Dr. Michelle Au's "Pediatric Health Safe Storage Act" deserve more than a "committee hearing" after a lack of "safe storage" by

As families make burial and/or memorial plans in Winder, Georgia, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) pinned the father of the 14-year old shooting suspect with an array of charges, including second degree murder. We've learned more about the 2023 incident where a Jackson County (GA) sheriff's investigator visited father Collin and son Colt in 2023 - yet another "warning sign" that went largely untouched. Hear those conversations. Oh, and mother Marcee, has a long criminal

You can tell we're desensitized by mass shootings when it doesn't take over your social media feeds. Such was the case yesterday when the U.S. largely went about its business as four were killed in a north Georgia high school at the hands of a 14-year old boy with access to an "AR style" weapon. You can hear the late-night GBI update, with Governor Brian Kemp (for whatever reason) droning on with his thanks (the least he can do, being the signer of gun nut-friendly laws), local TV

Fox News is always gonna "Fox News" with antics from the likes of Jesse Watters (even 'judge Jeanine' gets turned off by him now and then), but they can't un-data their own data. Their latest polling shows Kamala Harris has caught (and likely surpassed) Donald Trump in key swing states and nationally.Ya know what? Those polls may actually under-sell her position, what with the surge in voter registration since she ascended to the top of the ticket.An intriguing piece from

Governor Tim Walz stumped in Wisconsin at "Laborfest" while a rejuvenated President Joe Biden joined VP Kamala Harris in Pittsburgh on Labor Day rallying organized labor. Meanwhile, Donald Trump stewed on social media from Mar A Lago (with nothing on his calendar this week) and his VP pick, Senator JD Vance did as most Americans did and just enjoyed an "off-day."The contrasts couldn't be more glaring, but you'll hear both stump stops and get some noteworthy reminders who

Reviewing "game film" - the CNN "first interview"

2024/08/30

The Harris/Walz bus tour is now in Florida, after putzing around southeast Georgia a couple days, but before they took off, they got to hang in a Savannah cafe for a bit to go two-on-one with CNN'S Dana Bash for the VP and her running mate's first interview atop the Democratic ticket. I likened it to a (painful, for this Falcons' fan) football game - it's "must win" and you have the lead and the ball and instead of keeping your foot on the gas and going for more scores, I

Atlanta Voice editor-in-chief Donnell Suggs spent a few minutes today giving me some sense what it's like to be working media on a Presidential campaign bus caravan. Plus, we get to go inside that packed, festive band room at Liberty High School to hear VP Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz addressing current and future voters (and leaders). The fallout from the Arlington National Cemetery campaign photo-op gets worse. First, the Trump campaign had been briefed days prior that they were not to

It takes a big person to stop, collaborate and listen (sorry; had to) and thanks to frequent show guest Marilyn Marks, executive director at the Coalition for Good Governance, that's not all I've done when it comes to the Georgia Elections Board's antics of late; it's made me come to realize the "MAGA 3" are actually trying enact some policies and procedures to make election tabulating/canvassing more transparent and accurate.

Got to check in with my buddy Keith McCants, Bryan County Democratic Party chair, to see how excited folks in South Georgia are that VP Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz will be doing a two-day barnstorming bus tour. We discussed Walz' appeal to rural voters and what "black jobs" appear to be to Donald Trump and more.Speaking of Cadet Bone Spurs, reaction was salty, swift and angry from many, upon seeing him commemorate the three-year mark of the Abbey Gate suicide bombing ... at

The Harris/Walz South Georgia bus tour is on (where yet, is unknown) is on ... and the back & forth bickering between their camp and the Trump team about muted mics (it's wild who's for and against 'em) in the upcoming ABC-hosted debate is, too. Former Trump national security advisor General H.R. McMaster is out with a scathing new book, incidentally, which seems to couple nicely with Donald using the 3-year mark of the deadly suicide bombing in Afghanistan as political fodder and a

Officially accepting the Democratic Party's nomination for the U.S. Presidency, Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a near-40 minute speech, weaving in autobiographical anecdotes and details and laying out a policy vision in a rather neatly-stitched speech.I watched, along with Georgia WIN List members and guests and Manuel's Tavern and got feedback from several women - some of them candidates as well - worthy of sharing while reviewing Harris' remarks.

2024/08/23

If I'm being honest, Governor Tim Walz' speech was just "alright" ... in that I'd heard much of it before in prior stump speeches. Forgive me for being unimpressed; but his high school football teams' championship players and his wife and kids, Hope and Gus, made for spectacular accessories. In any event, I spent a good bit of time revisiting his and Oprah Winfrey's (eight years too late, in my opinion) speeches. Threw in a little of Republicans' Olivia Troye and

Personal anecdote last night I was involved in a scuffle where a guest in our condo building got belligerent and unruly. He'd had a long day of drinking and was wandering the building and making some residents anxious and nervous. Some neighbors and I tried corralling him to guide him back to whatever unit he was staying in, and the guy got physical. My 8:45pm call to 911 likely caught it all on audio recording before Atlanta PD end the call. No one from the department arrived until 12:15am

Harris-Walz strategy: let Donald be Donald

2024/08/17

It seems America's fixation with Donald Trump has worn thin; his shtick is no longer attracting record crowds or ratings, and in the month since Kamala Harris became his general election opponent, his approval numbers have plummeted. While the "Harris honeymoon" has shown few sings of abating, one thing seems apparent: the Harris-Walz campaign is content to "let Donald be Donald." Oh sure; they're grousing about Harris not doing interviews or press conferences, but

Bankrate crowned Georgia the state with the highest "hidden" costs of car ownership, recently. Here in Atlanta, you have to add "time spent in the car" as one of those hidden costs, given the gridlock we deal with getting to and from work or running our personal errands. Then you have Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens ... who has a pivotal role in whether the city (and region) take a forward-facing approach to transit - giving us "yeah, but ..." answers when asked if he

There have been any number of "(demographic subset) for Harris" Zoom rallies in recent weeks, but last night's "Republicans for Harris" Zoom gathering - which included former Georgia Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan - rallied more than 60,000 viewers. It was less about fundraising and more about preserving democracy and tabling policy divisions for future days to come. Okay, so there's a growing number of Republicans warming to Harris/Walz, and new polling shows that Democrats

I've tried not to spend too much time (personally or otherwise) on the audacious claims of "stolen valor" aimed at Governor Tim Walz by the (get this) Donald Trump presidential campaign. The "Cadet Bone Spurs" camp has something to say about military service, and - well - it's the one thing giving JD Vance relevance (or is it?)

This week - and for the foreseeable future anyway - residential real estate agents & REALTORS will be altering the way they do business. CNBC's Diana Click explained why earlier this year, and a Chicago TV sit-down with a closing attorney and broker/agent sort of gives you a proper sense where (and why) the industry's changing. Did I mention I'm a residential REALTOR? Well I am, and I'm only too eager to share my audible eye-rolling over all of this. Then, the opinions abound in
