Clarence, Herschel and their "sugar daddies"

The Ron Show ·

2023/05/04

It might be easier to tell you what Clarence Thomas' "sugar daddy" Harlan Crow ISN'T paying on behalf of the justice and Ginni, his wife. ⁠More revelations revealed⁠; and ⁠Herschel Walker either conned a guy into being HIS "sugar daddy" too ⁠or just committed wire fraud and broke campaign finance laws. Where IS he, by the way? There's a strain of smug dismissivism on the right when it comes to the struggles of the marginalized, and a social media post two days ago

Hear instant reactions and information from Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens & police chief Darin Schierbaum. We get a recap of the situation from ⁠Donnell Suggs⁠, editor-in-chief at the ⁠Atlanta Voice,⁠ and have Rev.

Whitewashing "diversity," and remembering "the...

The Ron Show ·

2023/05/02

"Southern. Gay. Teacher"⁠ author Randy Fair rejoins the show to discuss Georgia's efforts to whitewash terms like "diversity" and :inclusion" from state teacher prep jargon, plus the rise in anti-gay and anti-trans rhetoric orbiting public education. He recently wrote ⁠an eye-opening op/ed in Other Words⁠ that seems to indicate society is backsliding on treatment of LGBTQ+ teachers - and students, too. Why am I reminded of the movie "Remember the Titans?" Well

Another convo with King; a second ATL trans murder &...

The Ron Show ·

2023/04/28

Local documentarian and journalist King Williams and I caught up on a Zoom to talk Cop City, MARTA, why Atlanta wasn't "it" for the DNC convention and if it's possible to generate Gen-Z & millennial enthusiasm for "Biden/Harris 2024." We're also on the same page with what the Hawks might ought to do with Trae Young. A second black trans Atlanta woman has been killed - just in the month of April. This is why we have to not allow anti-trans publicly displayed

MARTA is "smarta," Swifts. Is Joe the "best case?"

The Ron Show ·

2023/04/27

Friday promises to be a traffic & parking nightmare in downtown Atlanta with Taylor Swift AND Janet Jackson performing at adjacent venues; so why, when the Georgia Department of Transportation is having a little fun with their song titles to warn motorists & concert-goers, did they NOT mention MARTA as an "alternative?" So now that we've had a couple days to let the "Joe's running again" news wash over us, where's the enthusiasm? Yeah, that's a problem -

Marianne Williamson Makes Her Case

The Ron Show ·

2023/04/26

Marianne Williamson was a viral presidential sensation in 2020 before she bowed out in mid-January of that year. She's back, and one of only two challengers aiming to wrest the Democrats Party nomination from a sitting President. She joined me today to make her case.

Joe's a go & I met a Mirracle Mom. Plus, why NOW, GBI?

Joe's running ... and so is Marianne Williamson. She's on the show, with me, in-person tomorrow, but let's hear Joe's pitch first. Then we'll hem and haw about the arduous task his campaign will have to win over American and Democratic voters who aren't warm to his re-election bid. Heidi Mirracle, Cherokee County parent, LGBTQ+ parent, and one of the brave folks who spoke out at last week's Cherokee County School Board meeting while the board sat stone-faced & silent

Tucker's gone; Don, too. So why is Rob Rechsteiner...

2023/04/24

Ding dong, Tucker Carlson's gone; Media Matters for America's senior fellow Matt Gertz speculates - with me - what's next for Tuckums and Fox News. Don Lemon got whacked, too, and the "thing" folks are pointing to as the reason why doesn't really add up. I'll explain. So it turns out there were MULTIPLE Cherokee County residents and parents of current and former school district kids who attended their school board meeting last Thursday to look feckless Rob Rechsteiner

Micah's on the Cop City saga

The Ron Show ·

2023/04/21

Micah Herskind is a writer & activist, and his Twitter account is one of the most thorough when it comes to the "Cop City" saga, so I had him on today to review everything we know (and what we've been lied to about) in that regard. Governor Brian Kemp's ⁠choosing to whine about what Senators Ossoff and Warnock aren't able (yet) to do⁠ - and don't need to until 2025 at the earliest - while overlooking the real danger to his EV push in Georgia: Kevin McCarthy's debt

2023/04/20

The Dekalb County autopsy on Manuel Paez "Tortuguita" Teran found no gunpowder residue on his hands or body; kinda weird given that he's the one police and police investigators say fired from inside his tent shortly before being deluged with more than 50 bullet wounds from head to torso, arms, hands and legs. Just another chapter in the inability for pro-APD training facility folks to win folks' trust. With tonight's Cherokee County School Board meeting - and hopefully some

The Ron Show ·

2023/04/20

Will Atlanta local media EVER recall a Cherokee County School Board member was booted from a convention for using an anti-gay slur (f*ggot) and shouted anti-trans venom to a trans person? Well, the board meets tomorrow night, so I did a little refresh of the story, and started "at" tweeting media personalities who covered it when it was breaking news in early April but who've not covered it since. Then, it's important to note WHY I think the Supreme Court delaying the Mifepristone

Innocent Entities Don't Settle

The Ron Show ·

2023/04/18

As I went to tape today's show, I already had Andrew Lawrence on the line from Media Matters for America to discuss the Dominion v Fox News case - JUST as word got out a settlement had. been reached. So half the show is our reacting to it, and covering a host of other hot topics, including why the Clarence Thomas story isn't a bigger saga in media of any kind, and the lack of traction on the surprising lack of forthrightness from the Texas just at the center of the Mifepristone case.

The Ron Show ·

2023/04/17

Thank goodness for the Braves & Dawgs, because Georgians have to be flat-out embarrassed, otherwise, with public figures from Georgia like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Clarence Thomas. Clarence - a Supreme Court Justice - can't seem to follow ethical guidelines, but gets to be one of the nine "end all be all" voices on legal matters? His latest? Not reporting income he and his wife got from a company that hasn't existed for more than fifteen years. Uhm, that seems ...

New polling for Georgia's GOP presidential hopefuls and Trump's STILL in control, so far. Y'all know I love diving into polling, so I jumped right in. Blis Savidge from Georgia Innocence Project joins me to tell us what GIP does and how wrongfully convicted Georgians are still being screwed over by the state - with a familiar GOP name the giant clog in the pipe. Then, the latest Clarence Thomas / Harlan Crow "bromance novel" chapter is flat-out stunning, and I'll explain

Recycling Day - Rivian & Wrongful Convictions

The Ron Show ·

2023/04/13

Today's a bit of a recycling effort; we've had some glitches getting the show to AmericaOne Radio this week but with insightful conversations with Reason Magazine's Joe Lancaster (covering Georgia's heavy backing of a Rivian that's hemorrhaging cash) and Georgia WIN List's Melita Easters, on to discuss Mifepristone, Cop City & more, I felt compelled to make sure they were heard, so I recycled a good bit of both chats here. Also worth mentioning: why are wrongfully

He's against "weaponizing" race, so allow me to "weaponize" RACISM and let ya eavesdrop on a former Georgia high school football coach - who has trained several NFL players - as he videos himself spewing jawdroppingly racist crap while visit Atlanta recently. He sent these videos to a friend or friends thinking it was funny. Not kidding. Georgia's put more than a BILLION dollars behind a new Rivian EV truck facility in Social Circle and

My Monday with Amir

The Ron Show ·

2023/04/11

No lie; I had to book time with Amir Farokhi weeks in advance, and I'll give him his due - he doesn't cheat you. Atlanta's district 2 city councilman (my councilman) gave me a good chunk of show time to talk about everything on my list - "cop city," MARTA audit, gentrification & housing, infrastructure & more. He's a "one to watch" kind of politician so remember I told ya so.
