Until we start the runoff.
- Oh hey, did you know that Georgia is in play? Vice President is visiting the state today, including a visit to Warm Springs and FDR’s Little White House.
- “We are going to get dragged through the dirt for something that we did not do.” The real story behind the state’s COVID dashboard, which has been the source of no end of frustration for people who try to make data-driven decisions, and no end of ridicule from those who are increasingly convinced that the Kemp administration is flubbing the state’s COVID-19 response.
- Lake Area reporter Rahul Bali interviewed Speaker David Ralston yesterday prior to a barnstormer visit to support incumbent House Republican Rep. Rick Williams. Which… if you’re the type who pays close attention to House races, you may find interesting.
- One in ten probate judges in Georgia has contracted COVID – and three have died of the virus.
- One judge who survived is Murray County Probate Judge John Waters, who was hospitalized in a coma for a month, and who has had to re-learn how to walk during his recovery. He recently commented, “I am as guilty as anybody. I thought COVID was all a hoax and would be gone after the election. Then it hit me … like a freight train.”
- Two electric busses are rolling in Macon-Bibb, the only transit system in Georgia to be awarded a federal grant to purchase the zero-emission busses.

- Here’s the story behind the creator of the incredibly useful GeorgiaVotes.com.
- Jared Kushner seems to think people should read The Secret and manifest themselves some success.

Looks like that Ossoff guy it’s trying the ‘ole ‘bait and switch’ https://www.projectveritasaction.com/news/senate-campaign-staffer-for-jon-ossoff-candidate-campaigns-as-low-key/ But I mean hey he’s taken the lead from the VP. He’s not for fracking then he’s for it jsut tell them what they want to hear.
Would you be able to get a better source for this?
Project Veritas has been proven to be fraudulent:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Veritas
I’ll bet they put words into the man’s mouth. They have been known to do this.
They are funded by the Koch brothers, and Trump’s campaign donated $10,000 to them.
“In a 2018 book on propaganda and disinformation in U.S. politics, three Harvard University scholars refer to Project Veritas as a “right-wing disinformation outfit”.[11]”
That is why it wasn’t posted yesterday. It seemed a little off.
According to Jared, yesterday black Americans were uppity but today they’re just lazy. Yeah, that’s a message that’ll resonate.
I wonder if he has ever heard of my all-time favorite huckster/evangelist Reverend Ike, aka ‘the divine sweetheart of the universe’.
Not many showed up to the Biden rally in Warm Springs today. https://twitter.com/bluestein/status/1321127832232333312?s=20
So they had social distancing? This is all you got? Pitiful. I’ve been to Warm Springs and FDR’s cabin. I’d hate to seee a bunch of Trump supporters throwing trash on the ground while they expose themselves to the Corona virus.
You have Marjorie Green as your congressperson, good luck on getting any breaks from the Feds! No one likes her.
