  • A Changed View: Willis, A Judicial Einstein!

    Sometimes, with new knowledge, we change our view,

    Led to believe, Fani Willis, a crook, and dumb too!

    Watching her testify to the local Atlanta political crew!

    She’s so smart, opponents sometimes, without a clue!

    Fast responses, using Racism, at a momentary squeak,

    Tested Criminal insights, plus, being fast on her feet,

    Is this “Crook” aspect, skillfully hidden, to prevent leaks?

    An experienced lawyer, Willis, serious criminals should seek!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Colin Gray sentenced; GOP senate candidate faces questions; Women's pro baseball
Q: Ashton, welcome to the program. What does it mean for you to be a part of this new iteration of the game?
It means everything; I dreamed of playing baseball since four years old, faced barriers, and now this league provides a platform to compete at the highest level while staying true to the game I love.
Olympic bombing; Colt Gray hearing; Baseball Hall of Fame
Q: So you were among those who first reported on Richard Jewell, the man who found the backpack that detonated. How would you describe what went wrong with the FBI's initial investigation?
The investigation relied on a flawed playbook from past Olympic incidents, leading to misdirected focus and the wrongful framing of Richard Jewell before the case moved toward Eric Rudolph.
College accreditation; Hurricane Helene recovery funds; Artist Bobbi Johnson
Q: You've mentioned that faith is a part of your work. How would one see faith appearing in either pressure point or another piece of art in this exhibition?
The artist explains that faith is conveyed more as a feeling or presence rather than explicit imagery, aiming to let viewers sense spiritual resonance through abstract elements.
Georgia Today: Ocmulgee Mounds; July 4th travel rush; Heat wave precautions
Q: So we've had several days of this dangerous heat, and it looks like it's going to stick around for a little bit. How concerning is this stretch of weather from a medical perspective?
Heat injury is a serious concern; the discussion covered heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke, with emphasis on recognizing symptoms early and taking steps to move to a cooler environment, hydrate, and seek help for heat stroke.
Runoff election results; GA redistricting paused; Tropical Storm Arthur lands
Q: What can you tell us about turnout and how it affected the results in the runoff?
Turnout patterns were uneven: Democrats had high turnout in the primary but dropped off in the runoff, while Republican contests kept turnout relatively higher, suggesting that issue salience and candidate profiles shaped voter engagement.
