It's all going to work out and very

The start of the work week began with the release of the remaining (living) Israeli hostages by Hamas. It's a moment in human history we should all be able to find common joy. The question is this: how did Trump secure a deal that eluded Joe Biden? I believe (rightly so, reporting would reveal) Benjamin Netenyahu had a rooting interest in the 2024 Presidential election here. ------Before anyone begins thinking I'm softening on the Trump administration over one good news cycle, however, it

Admittedly, I've been a little distracted the last couple weeks, caring for an ailing cat and being a part of a caretaking team for a dear friend. Both passed away over the weekend so I'm just diving back into some things I've missed of late, one of them being the Tom Homan sit down on "Real Time With Bill Maher."On the one hand, I'm a little baffled by Maher's recent display of anti-wokeness, and on the other, he's an aging white cynical comedian who's no

The framework of the '20-point plan' is very shaky, and - it turns out - recycled from past plans offered a year ago, but rebuffed by Netenyahu and because

Noel Heatherland with Georgia Equality was kind enough to join me Thursday morning ahead of Atlanta Pride to provide a bit of a "temp check" on all things Georgia LGBTQIA+ rights. ------Shame on Marci Collier-Overstreet, one of two Democrats vying to be Atlanta City Council President, for using the groan-worthy "defund the police" quip at a recent Atlanta Press Club debate, in an attempt to take a swipe at her opponent, Rohit Malhotra. Overstreet, it should be noted, voted in
