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

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. I also wanted to share a

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

Between former state senator Jason Carter (his "Paw Paw," former President Jimmy Carter waiting to vote for Kamala Harris), former First Lady Michelle Obama and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, oh and that raucous "roll call" vote featuring Lil Jon for Georgia, day three of the Democratic National Convention was a show unlike any before it. Let's review the highlights together.

Janelle King, one of the maligned and newly-seated "MAGA 3" Georgia Elections Board members, panned the idea of insisting Georgia revert to using hand-marked paper ballots, saying "we are altering how the election is being conducted" - as if it say ditching Dominion machines is an unnecessary last-minute alterationWho says irony isn't dead? Despite concerns from the left and right about the potential for hacks, notably after the Coffee County breach perpetrated by MAGA

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

As we look at the ideas coming from today’s American right, the same analysis keeps surfacing “The GOP dudes are just plain weird.” We examine some of the weirdness and how far it strays from what American working families want with today’s guests: Devon Ombres of The Center for American Progress and Scott Paul of The Alliance for American Manufacturing.Don’t miss our daily TV show on Free Speech

Trump talks race with black journalists. Holy crap! It went exactly as expected! wow! So ya, the weirdos got weird and the cat ladies fought back.

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

The Wall Street Journal screams that Kamala Harris has narrowed the lead Donald Trump had over Joe Biden.  So what?  That's to be expected.  It's a dead cat bounce and is too soon to panic.Kamala Harris as San Francisco's District Attorney has some explaining to do.  Here are some example of why.

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

The Childless Cat Lady Empire Strikes Back

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?) Even Georgia Insurance Commissioner John King felt the need to chime in at Erick Erickson's "The Gathering" last weekend.So

On this week's TWS, Guy Denton and Matt Lewis discuss...-- Why the Democrats' "weird" attack on Republicans seems to be resonating. -- Did Donald Trump attack Black journalists to change the subject from JD Vance's childless 'cat ladies' comments? -- Whether 'code-switching' is natural, or proof you're a 'phony'... -- Josh Shapiro vs. JD Vance? -- Why Kamala's new immigration TV ad is good.

'Atlanta Voice' editor-in-chief Donnell Suggs joined me Friday to give us a sense where black voters' minds seem to be from his vantage point after a break-neck month of change. In particular, we discuss Donald Trump's disastrous sit-down at the National Association of Black Journalists' (NABJ) conference in Chicago. We share our thoughts on Donald's just-as-breathtaking press conference, and Donnell also let us behind the scenes, of sorts, with some insights into his

The Georgia Election Board - now with election denialists - wants to (again) look into Fulton County's 2020 "curiosities." Ya know what? I say go for it. As my (returning) guest today - Marilyn Marks (VP and executive director of the Coalition for Good Governance) believes, I don't think there'll be a change in Georgia's outcome (and we know it wouldn't alter the Presidential outcome either), but the margin may change (obviously). Hell, it could pad Biden's

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz indeed was the choice VP Kamala Harris made (as I asserted should be the case back on July 29th) to be her running mate, and his first test - accepting and giving his first stump speech - didn't disappoint. [Transcript here] Well, the New York Times editorial board mostly approved, anyway, but a raucous crowd of 12,000-plus in Philadelphia sopped it up. Near-immediate right wing attacks on his Congressional record, his time as governor, and even his 24-year National
