  • 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.

Early in-person voting; Governor race; Autism service cuts
Q: How did this nonstop trauma, grief, outrage and personal danger affect you mentally and physically?
Glow said he developed trauma-induced anxiety after a few years of reporting from violent events and used heavy drinking to self-medicate.
Early in-person voting; Governor race; Autism service cuts
Q: Where, when and how did you first decide to become a reporter?
Glow said he discovered he was good at writing during a failed attempt at college, then joined his hometown newspaper in Peoria, Illinois, and stayed in newsrooms.
Preservation laws rollback; Roller coaster operators face scrutiny; Winter forecast
Q: So what can people who are concerned about this do to help?
Meyers recommends contacting senators immediately and, once the proposed revisions appear in the Federal Register, publicly voicing opposition.
Preservation laws rollback; Roller coaster operators face scrutiny; Winter forecast
Q: So you've said these proposed changes will destroy sites, battlefields, cemeteries and historic buildings. Georgia has plenty of each. How would these changes do that?
Meyers explains that Section 106 currently requires federal projects to consider impacts on archaeological and historic resources and includes public and tribal input. The proposed revisions would limit that participation and reduce or eliminate surveys before construction.
Trump rally in Dalton; ICE Facility hunger strike; Atlanta Dream going to WNBA finals
Q: You talk about Angel Reese coming in from the Chicago sky. Would the team be in the final without their star forward?
Turner says the Dream would not have reached the Finals without Reese, whose energy and ability to keep up with the team's pace filled a need at center.
