Georgia Recorder columnist Jay Bookman digs into troubling signals from Trump (now and 2021) with a dystopian nightmare: the President sending the "National Guard or ICE agents to Fulton County, DeKalb County and other blue-trending areas, claiming massive fraud, seizing voting machines and voiding the election."I mean he's only openly ask/telling reporters that "we shouldn't even have an election." Meanwhile, with Brad Raffensperger (and Gabriel Sterling) aiming for higher office, the Secretary of State's office will have no bosses, and Fulton County Commissioner Dana Barrett aims to be in charge. Dana joined the show to explain why she's running for that role and shares plans to protect election security, voter access, and provide transparency.Plus, Democratic congressional candidate Chris Harden (Georgia 11th) talks about his bid for a GOP-heavy lean district and why his poverty-to-law school-to-courtroom story makes him an ideal Democratic candidate for such a district.Ron also unpacks Governor Brian Kemp's State of the State address and the Democratic response, from tax cuts to education and infrastructure.Tune in to catch the Ron Show weekdays from 4-6pm Eastern time on Georgia NOW!

Podcast 302 – What the Student Assignment Project Could Mean for Redistricting in Dunwoody – Andrew Ziffer – DCSD Board   Two developments are shaping the conversation around Dunwoody schools this Fall. Friday night football is finally coming to DHS. After decades of playing at North DeKalb Stadium, Dunwoody High School will soon have bathrooms, a press box, and the 3,000 seats required to host true varsity home games. Community fundraising, a green light from the DeKalb County School Board, and support from major donors have set the project in motion.   But while high school families are celebrating, parents with younger kids are watching the Student Assignment Project unfold. DeKalb County is reviewing enrollment, capacity, and long-term plans, and redistricting is very much on the table. I ask DCSD District 1 Board Representative Andrew Ziffer about the rumors that Chesnut and Vanderlyn Elementary could be merged or closed, and he explains how those concerns fit into the bigger picture of balancing resources across the county. Change is coming to DeKalb schools, but how much of it will affect Dunwoody?   Website: https://whatsupdunwoody.com/podcast-302-what-the-student-assignment-project-could-mean-for-redistricting-in-dunwoody-andrew-ziffer-dcsd-board/     What's Up Dunwoody Links:

✦ English actor and producer Jon Boyega gained international recognition for his role as Finn in the Star Wars sequel trilogy; however, that was not Boyega's first dip into science fiction. His debut feature-length film, 2011's "Attack the Block," and his most recently released film, "They Cloned Tyrone," both use the science fiction comedy genre to explore deeper social issues.

This powerful and historic tradition dates back to the early 1800s and continues to thrive today, bringing together communities in spirited, four-part harmony. The 120th convention of the United Sacred Harp Musical Association comes to the Foundry at Puritan Mill on September 13 and 14, 2025. It is expected to be the largest gathering in a generation, drawing hundreds of singers from across the US and beyond.
