We review primary voter data to see which of the two presidential candidates is most vulnerable for losing Georgia because of a disgruntled electorate within their party. Governor Brian Kemp - no fan of Donald Trump - who could be the flashlight guiding Republicans through the Trump darkness - instead confessed to voting and throwing his support behind the nominee. Trump. Sad. Atlanta's getting a "stitch," but will liberal NIMBY's derail light rail?

Thursday concluded 'crossover day' in the Georgia General Assembly, so I spent a little time reviewing what did and didn't float from one chamber to the other, & eavesdrop on some 'night of' interviews from GPB's "Lawmakers" for some insights from lawmakers beneath the gold dome.While listening in, it sounds like there's a realization from Georgia Senate Republicans that their new-fangled subpoena-powered committee will only be empowered to suggest new

Leading up to today's presidential primary in Georgia, I offer up Dr. Jill and President Joe Biden's visit to Pullman Yards last weekend (just wonderful for Atlanta United home match day traffic, I tell ya ...). Anyhow, for the most part, that's today's show. Also I've been super-swamped with work away from the show so forgive me the slack-off. :)

Sen. Raphael Warnock had time (before church, I suppose?) for the Sunday talk circuit and at one check-in - on Meet the Press - he was pressed by Kristen Welker about Georgia's support for incumbent President Joe Biden, former Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan's prospects as a potential third party candidate, plus Fani Willis' fate (he passed on commenting). Hear his optimistic spin on what appears to be an uphill slog (for now, anyway). Later in the show I'm revisiting his impassioned floor

Admit it; you watched the State of the Union address last night to see if President Joe Biden could still fog a mirror, and if so, for what percentage of the speech. Or maybe you tuned in just to see what Marjorie Taylor Greene would wear and do. Well, Biden was as sharp and energetic as we've been told he was behind closed doors, and Marge was ... Marge. Hear me go over the highs and lows of last night's State of the Union. Incidentally, early polling suggests Biden won over a lot of

Jay Jacobs, Chair of the New York State Democratic Committee & Chair of the Nassau County Democratic Party, joined Cat Oriel on "Forbes Newsroom" to discuss the special election to replace former Rep. George Santos, the election in November and his thoughts on President Biden.

Atlanta loses a council member, and with Keisha Sean Waites' departure, "Stop Cop City" loses an ally; but does a looming special election to replace her give them the ballot referendum they were looking for? We caught up with Mableton, Georgia's first-ever mayor, Michael Owens, to discuss the aftermath of last weekend's "near Six Flags" shooting, how the city aims to help address safety concerns, and foster development around the theme park and in creating it's

What could have been a multi-casualty situation near and inside Six Flags over Georgia was, luckily, "just" gunfire and a 15-year old perp in the hospital awaiting multiple charges. Still, how is it teens are so easily obtaining guns (like ghost guns) and why are so many so comfortable having them? I'll explore. I usually set the TV timer to send me to bed with "The Golden Girls" tucking me in, but Rachel Maddow caught my attention talking about the movie "Black

FEBRUARY 22, 2024 We are back with another episode of the AlphaVets Podcast and today we are joined by Cat The Great again and we hade a wonderful and fun conversation.  Today we discuss the cell phone outage today and what we believe it could mean moving forward.  Nothing was off limits in today's show.  God Bless You & Enjoy.

If you miss out on "The Georgia Gang" - airing Sunday mornings, locally on WAGA-TV (Fox 5/Atlanta) - you may have no concept how comedic this Sunday political talk program can be sometimes. No disrespect to its moderator, Lori Geary, or the staff who puts the show together. I'm not even going to blanket-scald all right wing pundits; I have immense respect, for example, for Martha Zoller, who appears frequently (but not often enough, in my opinion). I just can't, for the life of me,

Tuesday's Georgia Senate education & youth subcommittee meeting got slightly bonkers when a bill - almost verbatim lifted from Heritage Foundation "Project 2025" guidance - felt "off" for some on the panel. Sen. Clint Dixon - when challenged to explain just three lines in the bill - couldn't really define it's meaning. Perhaps it's because he didn't write it? Hear the subtleties & nuance in trying to define what "upright and desirable

Ted and the Rev discuss bad weeks, Palestine, the 1980's hit show "V," and Levert the Bassman's posts on Instagram.Monthly summary of some of the top new stories and the capitalist machinations behind the event. Also tips and tricks for living a better life through direct action.

I'm admittedly a dope when it comes to knowing all that in vitro fertilization (IVF) entails - and was almost as clueless about the ramifications after Alabama's Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are human beings (basically). That's I called on my reliable point-of-reference, Melita Easters, executive director at the Georgia WIN List to help me understand better how another "dog catches car" moment for conservatives has (unintended?) consequences for women in Alabama now,

Georgia Republican legislators are falling all over themselves racing to enact legislation that's likely illegal (but we won't call them "illegals") ... aiming to criminalize local law enforcement's handling of undocumented arrestees while providing no additional resources obviously needed. Also, the University of Georgia plans to spend $7.3 million for security upgrades that don't seem to address what happened to Laken Riley last week. A retired professor and outspoken

When tragedy occurs (allegedly) at the hands of an undocumented immigrant, the phrase "now's not the time" is non-existent to conservatives, unlike when a mass shooting occurs. Governor Brian Kemp and Georgia Republicans wasted little time politicizing the murder of a UGA college student over the weekend and into this week, ignoring their own party's role in how we're where we are on the subject of immigration. That's fine; I've gotten used to setting the record

The murder of a 22-year old UGA nursing student by an undocumented immigrant has political ideologues racing to their foxholes to turn this into a linchpin incident to discuss immigration policy and enforcement. The right wants to put blood on Pres. Biden's hands, but naturally leaves out key details - including Donald Trump's action the last full day he was in office, how Trump (like Biden now) sought Congressional action, or the many times the GOP has walked from reform legislation.Trump

Georgia Republicans continue flinging useless 'red meat" legislation on the grill, the latest being an empty proclamation condemning President Joe Biden's immigration policies, while of course leaving out the part where the former President coordinated with the current Speaker of the House to derail an historic bipartisan immigration bill Biden supported. Because of course. Hey, good news - a grayer Jon Stewart returns to 'The Daily Show' - once a week through the 2024 election

Still buzzing from the very "A-Town" Super Bowl halftime performance by Usher and cast, it was good to catch up with Donnell Suggs, editor in chief at the Atlanta Voice to about the big game, the halftime theatrics, and all things Atlanta/Fulton county politics & even a little football. :) The flexing between "Stop Cop City" activists and city hall (and Atlanta PD) seems to be ramping up - with police vehicles now showing up torched and arrests being made. Take a listen to

Nice outage this morning, eh? Seriously, just months after we loved or hated the Obamas-produced "Leave the World Behind," we got a hint of a taste of the premise. Had to be a nightmare for rideshare-reliant commuters or those arriving at airports needing an Uber or Lyft. Speaking of our reliance on cars, the Georgia Department of Transportation's social media is not only tone-deaf; it's roast-worthy. As they boast - literally boast - of the progress made on a $500 million
