Honey, I Met Our New Neighbors Today. They Work in the Chemistry Field!

We were driving through a little west Cobb neighborhood recently, destination Walmart, when a scarred, lumbering old box truck turned in front of us down the narrow residential street. Eventually it stopped at a decrepit home that’s been empty since at least last Spring. But this night the lawn was covered in vehicles. We waited, curious, a few yards behind the stopped truck, hoping the back would roll up so we could see what it was delivering. Yes, you can call me Karen.

1A: It Exists to Protect Jerks Too

Once upon a time, Cobb County was still red, taxes were much lower and county employees were happier in their work. Controversies happened, but for the most part elected and appointed officials were competent and accountable.

I was thinking about an arrest, however, that happened just before I “retired” from my job as a columnist with the local newspaper. It had to do with free speech and it’s worth mentioning in the wake of the “Heil Hitler” incident percolating in the county today.

Outrage In the Chaos: Nothing Gets Accomplished

Anyone remember 2016 when we first heard students at Emory were “in pain, concerned… and frightened”… because they saw some chalk graffiti on the sidewalks of their campus? It said TRUMP and they simply couldn’t handle it. Mortified, they claimed they were “in fear of our lives…” which, inexplicably, made national headlines.

Another debate, another hangover

Last night was the second presidential debate for Donald Trump but the first for Kamala Harris in this election cycle. However, the real stars of the show were ABC’s moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis for their outstandingly horrendous handling of a presidential debate.

Conservatives were fully aware that Donald Trump walking onto an ABC debate stage was like walking behind enemy lines, however I think after the CNN debate with Biden, where the moderators did a relatively good job at being neutral, Trump voters were hopeful that the trend of a fair debate would continue – it did not.

Editorial: Making Landslides Fun Again

I just found out Dennis Quaid made a movie about my favorite president and I can’t wait to see it. 

When I viewed the trailer online the other day, it made me cry, and I’ll wager I’m not the only boomer whose emotions welled up as the memories took me back. 

Forty-four years ago this November, I walked into Myers Hall at UGA after a late dinner at the dining hall, surprised to see dozens of fellow Bulldogs gathered around 36-inch televisions in both corners of the large room. 

“REAGAN in a LANDSLIDE!!!” they were all yelling as the polls had barely closed. The whoops and hollers and clapping are fresh in my mind almost a half century later.

The Danger in Aurora Matters: Illegal Immigration is Chaos

Over the last week to ten days there have been numerous videos, images and posts on X (formerly Twitter) that catalogue the absolute terror happening in Aurora, Colorado, where a violent Venezuelan street gang called Tren de Aragua, or TdA, is actively taking over apartment buildings and forcing residents to pay them instead of the landlords of the complexes. This isn’t all though, other videos are showing the chaos involved in having these gangs in Aurora, like this one showing three young men walking through a parking lot filled with trash as gunfire rings out around them.

Judicial Emergency Extended and More Alarming Stories about Cobb County Superior Court Clerk’s Office

It’s just another day at the Cobb County Superior Court. Files are opening, cases are being heard and Chief Judge A. Gregory Poole issued an extension of his August 7, Judicial Emergency because Connie Taylor’s Cobb County Superior Court Clerk’s office still hasn’t gotten its act together.

“While the situation in the Clerk’s Office regarding document availability has improved, a significant backlog remains,” the press release says. “Some documents dating as far back as November 2023 remain unindexed. The Superior Court Clerk’s Office also continues to experience many of the issues listed in the Initial Notice. Specifically, issues regarding noticing, scheduling, and calendaring remain.”
