Admittedly, with little else on but football, I've been binging 'Suits,' and I'm through seven full seasons - just the sort of prep I apparently needed for covering local, state & American politics, because - wow - the courtroom drama! So we have a Fani Willis affair allegation - from a Trump ally attorney - tying the Fulton D.A. to a special prosecutor who's not (yet) divorced. Trump-fawning Republicans under the gold dome are pouncing. Then we have Trump's attorney

Fulton district attorney Fani Willis has twice tried to respond to allegations of impropriety levied against her and special prosecutor Nathan Wade ... except she's yet to respond to the most salacious part of the allegations ... that she and Wade are (allegedly) in a romantic relationship. Illegal? No. Improper? Debatable. A bad look? Indisputable. Also, how are two of the brightest legal minds in metro Atlanta not smart enough to buy separate flight and cruise tickets? Former Arkansas

So we've been waiting (and waiting) for Fani Willis to respond to those 'salacious' allegations a Trump co-defendant's attorney dropped last week, and whew, today we got a (filed) response. First, it turns out Nathan Wade's marriage is coming apart because his wife (not he, with Fani) had strayed from the marriage. Bomb. Shell. Okay, so that answers to Fani needing (she doesn't) to testify in their divorce, but it still leaves unanswered the question "was there a

I am not a religious person, but I grew up in a Southern Baptist Church, so it's not as if I don't have a decent grasp of the values of the white evangelical voting bloc. So how do we square Donald Trump taking 53% of Iowa's white evangelical voter support last night - and since that's actually being a dip from his 2020 and 2016 numbers, is that a harbinger for his prospects this November? That got me to wondering just how we are where we are - in an era where the white evangelical

I don't always know when I set up an interview if it's going to be an agreeable conversation, and when I set up today's talk with Alan Holmes, host of the podcast "Hidden Lynchings" and staunch reparations advocate, I wasn't actually sure we'd vibe like we did. See, Alan and I had gone back & forth a time or two on Twitter/X over reparations, the mechanics of it, the priority (or lack of) Democrats and President Joe Biden seem to give it and the political realities

Enjoyed catching up with political consultant Andrew Heaton from Sagamore Hill Consulting. We bantered on Georgia's redrawn maps, the upcoming legislative session and did some 2024 predicting. Good times. Second half of the show, I ceded some time to "Politics Girl" to review her mid-December "impeachment" retort, and then I somehow wound up railing on the GOP's preening about immigration at the southern border while doing absolutely nothing about it where they're

With the latest ("salacious") allegations levied at Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, Atlanta-Journal Constitution scribe Patricia Murphy makes a compelling case to wonder what the embattled DA is thinking. Buckle up if you've not already ready this. It's not an easy listen, either. Eavesdropping on Judge McAfee's hearing, in the aftermath, however, all we got was Trump's attorney Steve Shadow calling the allegations "salacious" and asking for time to

José Hidalgo, Economista por la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador con un máster en periodismo, director de Análisis Macroeconómico en Multienlace y periodista en la sección Economía & Negocios del diario La Nación, de Buenos Aires, así como director de CORDES (Corporación de Estudios para el Desarrollo). Conoceremos la visión del entrevistado de lo que sucede en el país, así

Governor Brian Kemp gave his annual "State of the State" address before a joint session of the general assembly today, and I chose to replay and annotate. HERE is the Georgia Democratic Party's response presser.

Man arrested for passing counterfeit bills at a Wawa in New Jersey… People were hospitalized in Taiwan when they ate a Tide-pod like object that people thought it was candy, in a presidential campaign parade... British woman reunited with missing cat after 7 years, who had only been living 300 yards away… & more.

Hour 2: Sue has your Sue's News on a new cat door that prevents them from bringing in pests, a busy mouse, and the Random Fact of the Day on Quaker Oats! Then, Brian Kilmeade, Fox & Friends Host, joins Mark Reardon for their weekly conversation on all things politics including Iowa Causus, Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin's hospitalization, and more. Then, Mark shares an old cut of Don Lemon as news breaks that he will have his own show on X, formerly known as Twitter.

If it isn't yet abundantly clear to you by now that Donald Trump fullly intends to stretch out his legal woes long enough to pardon himself, today's legal maneuvers in Fulton County pretty much leave no doubt as to how desperate his team is. I can disagree agreeably with the likes of Martha Zoller, but I can (and do) also point out doublespeak on districts belonging to voters when her preferred political party continues to embrace gerrymandering. Marjorie Taylor Greene had a January 6th

JenChan's, a Cabbagetown/Atlanta dining GEM, has been charging patrons a 4% healthcare line-item surcharge for more than a year. Recently, however, some grousers have groused on social media about it - despite it being easily removable if asked - and it brings healthcare again to discussion. I spoke with co-owner Emily. She and her wife and child have even been physically threatened over it on social media, but despite that nonsense, the duo and their staff soldier on - and with overwhelming

So over the holidays, judge Steve Jones took the just-as-partisan, even more racist (but not towards black people, at least as much as before) redrawn Georgia legislative maps and said "eh, this will do." Stunned a lot of folks who predicted at least two of three would need special master re-draws. Oh well; while there's still litigious pushes to alter that, most of the Georgia political community is rolling with it, which means some Democrats drawn together are bowing out. Gotta love

Oh; Atlanta Public Schools' doled out $1000 bonuses before Gov. Brian Kemp announced he was going to do so for teachers, and now APS says "yeah, we already gave y'all that, so we're keeping what he sends us to send y'all." Teachers feel let down. The state superintendent ain't happy, either. Yikes. Rudy Giuliani's filed for bankruptcy, so is there any juice in that berry for Ruby & Shaye? Polls show Americans approve of what a Colorado Supreme Court ruling says

When Erick Erickson and Governor Brian Kemp are on the right side of something, you know the nuts have made some noise. A viral Tweet started making the rounds Friday afternoon then through the weekend insisting the governor implored Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger fix a 2020 vote snafu that never was, prompting a Kemp spokesperson to repudiate the actual "fake news." The Atlanta Journal Constitution printed a damning summation of all that's gone off the rails with the Cobb

There's a Congressional seat in Georgia with no incumbent, y'all. Disgraced former prosecutor, New York City mayor & Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani sat quietly in a courtroom while closing arguments were made in the defamation trial where two Fulton election workers seek millions from him in damages. His own attorney is over it. So has Jay Bookman, who excoriates Rudy in his latest op/ed HERE. Meanwhile, Donald's selling pieces of his mugshot suit, we have apology letters from his

Some good news from the Biden administration in that they're planting seeds for connecting Atlanta with other major southern destinations by high-speed rail. A collab of newsrooms thinks the Stop Cop City petition numbers is going to fall short; or maybe not. Who knows. The Fed gives a thumbs up to "Bidenomics," it seems and Hunter Biden is calling Repubs' bluff.

Merry Christmas, Bullshitters!!! Welcome to the last episode of this year! We've got cars big as bars... whoops! Sorry. We've got Jake Paul Hate, Discussion on how root beer is the REAL beverage of the proletariat, the sustainable swap for the month, environmental racism (huge shout out to LevertTheBassman on IG,) some friendly advice, and of course, the Strike Corner! If you listen all the way through to the end you'll have a special song from Shane MacGowan and the Pogues. RIP
