GDP Script/ Top Stories for March 22nd Publish Date: March 22nd PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, March 22nd and Happy Birthday to William Shatner I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. 'Beyond heroic' — VALOR Awards Honor Gwinnett Public Safety Officials Tort reform bill squeaks through Georgia House Georgia Supreme Court takes up State Election Board rules changes All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: 'Beyond heroic' — VALOR Awards Honor Gwinnett Public Safety Officials The Gwinnett Chamber hosted its 20th Annual VALOR Public Safety Awards, honoring first responders for their dedication to keeping Gwinnett County safe. Held at the Gas South District, the event gathered over 360 attendees, including business leaders and community members. President Nick Masino highlighted the vital role of public safety in fostering a thriving community. Awards recognized exceptional service, including Major Michelle Anglin for Leadership, Corporal Sean Donahue as Public Safety Person of the Year, and the Behavioral Health Unit as Public Safety Unit of the Year. The ceremony celebrated the heroism and commitment of Gwinnett's first responders. STORY 2: Tort reform bill squeaks through Georgia House The Georgia House narrowly passed Senate Bill 68, a GOP-backed tort reform measure, with a 91-82 vote. The bill, a priority for Gov. Brian Kemp, aims to curb excessive jury awards and stabilize liability insurance costs by introducing premises liability guidelines, allowing seat belt evidence in auto cases, and limiting medical damage claims to actual costs. Supporters argue it will benefit businesses, while opponents, including many Democrats, claim it reduces access to justice and unfairly impacts crime victims. The bill includes a carveout for sex trafficking victims but faces criticism for excluding other crime victims. It now returns to the Senate for review. STORY 3: Georgia Supreme Court takes up State Election Board rules changes Civil rights and voting rights groups urged the Georgia Supreme Court to uphold a lower-court ruling invalidating seven election law changes made by the Republican-controlled State Election Board (SEB) last fall. The changes included hand-counting ballots, delaying result certification for fraud inquiries, stricter absentee ballot requirements, and expanded poll watcher areas. A Fulton County judge previously ruled the SEB overstepped its authority, violating the separation of powers. However, state and Republican lawyers argued the SEB acted within its rights and that the plaintiffs lacked legal standing to sue. The case centers on the balance of legislative and executive powers. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: STORY 4: Gwinnett Police Again Ask For Public's Help In Fatal Hit-and-Run Investigation The Gwinnett County Police Department is seeking new information about a hit-and-run that killed 24-year-old Mecha Woodard on September 27, 2024. Woodard was struck while walking on the eastbound shoulder of State Route 316 near Breckenridge Blvd. The suspect vehicle, a Lexus RX350 or RX450 (2019-2022), sustained damage to the front passenger-side bumper and headlight. Investigators urge anyone with information to contact Gwinnett Police Detectives at 678-442-5653 or submit anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477 or www.stopcrimeATL.com, with potential cash rewards for leads. STORY 5: Senate measure to trim state agency rules advances toward a vote by the House The Georgia House Budget and Fiscal Affairs Oversight Committee advanced Senate Bill 28, the "Red Tape Rollback Act," aimed at reducing outdated or burdensome state agency rules. Sponsored by Sen. Greg Dolezal, the bill requires agencies to review rules every four years and conduct impact analyses for proposed rules costing $3 million or more in compliance over five years. Republicans view it as a way to streamline bureaucracy, while Democrats argue it could burden agencies and taxpayers. Amendments raised the impact analysis threshold and required analyses to be posted online. The bill now heads to the House Rules Committee. Break 3: STORY 6: State Senate health committee approves IVF bill House Bill 428, which codifies the right to in vitro fertilization (IVF) in Georgia, unanimously passed a Senate committee. Prompted by an Alabama ruling treating frozen embryos as children, the bill ensures IVF remains accessible in Georgia without introducing new regulations. Sponsor Rep. Lehman Franklin, who has personal experience with IVF, emphasized the bill simply formalizes current practices. Parents shared emotional testimonies about their IVF journeys, while some called for ethical regulations on embryo handling. The bill now heads to the Senate Rules Committee for a full Senate vote. STORY 7: Teen fatally shot during 'Senior Skip Day' at Denny Dobbs Park An 18-year-old Salem High School student, Justin Etienne, was fatally shot Wednesday at Denny Dobbs Park during an informal "Senior Skip Day" event involving students from Newton and Rockdale counties. The Newton County Sheriff’s Office described the incident as isolated, with no gang involvement or additional injuries. Grief counselors were made available at schools, and law enforcement increased patrols as a precaution. Authorities are urging witnesses or anyone with information to come forward. Both Newton and Rockdale school systems expressed condolences and emphasized the event was not school-sanctioned. The investigation is ongoing.

Generations with Kevin Swanson

It's Thursday, February 27th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Ugandan Muslims stab Christian evangelist Morning Star News reports hardline Muslims stabbed a Christian evangelist in eastern Uganda earlier this month. The attackers stabbed 39-year-old Robert Kasozi in the stomach and beat three of his co-workers. This came after Robert engaged in open-air preaching and led a 75-year-old widow to Christ. Angered by this, the widow's relatives attacked the Christians and tore up their Bibles. Thankfully, the man is recovering from his wounds in the hospital, but has vowed to file a case with the police upon his return home. Authorities did not arrest any of the Muslim attackers at the time though some were known to area residents.  This was the latest of many instances of persecution against Christians in Uganda documented by Morning Star News.  Northern Ireland to threaten religious liberty Northern Ireland is considering legislation that could threaten religious liberty. Lawmakers for the region may consolidate existing so-called “equality” laws into one new law. The Christian Institute warns this could undermine religious liberty and “detrimentally affect the work of churches.” Officials previously used equality laws to target a Christian bakery for refusing to participate in celebrating sexually perverted lifestyles.  Sam Webster with The Christian Institute told lawmakers, “Laws can be passed very easily, but legislators don't necessarily always see the implications further down the track for other protected characteristics.”  Isaiah 10:1 says, “Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, who write misfortune, which they have prescribed.” Trump's budget passes the House In the United States, before the vote on President Donald Trump's budget on Tuesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson made these remarks. JOHNSON: “We promised to deliver President Trump's full agenda, not just a part of it. We're not just going to do a little bit now and return later for the rest. We have to do it now. And that ‘one big, beautiful bill' will include securing the border, restoring America's energy dominance, dismantling the deep state, growing our economy, ensuring we don't have the largest tax increase in US history, and a return to peace through strength. “We do not have time to waste. The American people are expecting us to deliver on this, and we will. House Republicans need to unite so we can keep this process moving forward. And I think they all understand that we're working right now to get everybody on board. I think everybody wants to be on this train and not in front of it.” The resolution passed 217-215 with no Democrat support and one Republican voting against it. The proposal lays a framework for enacting President Donald Trump's legislative agenda. It cuts $4.5 trillion in taxes and at least $1.5 trillion in spending and raises the debt ceiling by $4 trillion.  The resolution would allow for the defunding of Planned Parenthood which receives hundreds of millions of dollars from the government each year. The proposal heads to the Senate where it must get bipartisan support. Georgia Supreme Court upheld Heartbeat Law The Supreme Court of Georgia once again upheld the state's heartbeat law. The court ruled 6-1 to uphold the Living Infants Fairness and Equality Act last Thursday. The law bans the killing of unborn babies with detectable heartbeats with some exceptions.  The latest ruling overturns a lower court ruling in a case brought by abortion activists.  Heartbeat laws in other states have been upheld by their respective supreme courts, including Florida, Iowa, and South Carolina.  Amazon outpaced Walmart Amazon, the e-commerce giant, outpaced the retail giant Walmart  in quarterly revenue for the first time.  Amazon brought in $187.8 billion in revenue during the fourth quarter of last year while Walmart brought in $180.5 billion. Walmart has been the top revenue-generating company each quarter for over a decade after outpacing Exxon Mobil in 2012. Walmart is still projected to lead in annual sales, but Amazon is close behind.  Decline of Christian identification has slowed A new report from Pew Research found the decline of Christian identification in the U.S. has slowed. Sixty-two percent of U.S. adults identify as Christians currently, down from 78% in 2007. That percentage fell to 71% by 2014 and 63% by 2019. However, the share of self-identified Christian adults has hovered between 60% and 64% over the past five years.  Non-Christian religious identification stands at 7.1%, up from 4.7% in 2007. And identification as religiously unaffiliated stands at 29%, up from 16% in 2007 but appears to be plateauing.  New plant found in Big Bend National Park And finally, a new species of plant was discovered at a U.S. national park for the first time in 50 years. Park staff members first encountered the plant in Big Bend National Park in Texas last year. The National Park Service noted that the plant's “fuzzy foliage and interesting flower looked like nothing they had seen before.”  Researchers analyzed the plant, concluding it is unique enough to be classified as a new species. The plant is officially called Ovicula biradiata and belongs to the same family as daisies.  Researchers are also investigating potential medicinal applications of the plant, including anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties.  Psalm 104:24 says, “O LORD, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all. The Earth is full of Your possessions.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, February 27th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

With Crossover Day just around the corner, Georgia lawmakers are entering a pivotal phase of the legislative session. On today's episode of Politically Georgia, hosts Patricia Murphy and Greg Bluestein sit down with Lt. Gov. Burt Jones to discuss key bills moving through the state Senate—including Gov. Brian Kemp's legal overhaul and Georgia's own version of a DOGE bill. Plus, we'll ask Jones about his political future and whether he's eyeing a 2026 run for governor.   Then, Chief Justice Michael Boggs' unexpected decision to step down from the Georgia Supreme Court has reignited debate over the long-standing trend of justices resigning mid-term rather than allowing voters to choose their replacements.   And in Washington, the Trump administration has issued a sweeping new directive that could lead to mass layoffs across federal agencies. We'll break down the potential impact on Georgia's workforce.   Have a question or comment for the show? Call the 24-hour Politically Georgia Podcast Hotline at 770-810-5297.

In *Dias v. Boone*, the court reversed a lower court's decision granting Abby Boone equitable caregiver status over Michelle Dias’s child, ruling the law didn’t apply as Boone’s relationship with the child predated the law. While the justices questioned the law’s constitutionality regarding parental rights, they did not strike it down, instead issuing a narrow ruling specific to this case. STORY 2: Man Charged With Murder After Shooting at Cherokee County Home A man, David Daniel, 44, has been arrested and charged with murder after Michael Kyle Reid, 42, was found dead from a gunshot wound in a carport on North Lake Drive near Canton on Monday night.

The USPS Board of Governors will begin searching for his successor.

Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Gwinnett government opts out of statewide homestead exemption Gwinnett County commissioners unanimously opted out of a new statewide floating homestead exemption tied to inflation, arguing their existing Value Offset Exemption (VOE) offers better savings. The VOE freezes taxable property values at the level when a homeowner first claimed the exemption, unlike the statewide version, which adjusts annually for inflation. County officials highlighted that the VOE has kept county taxes stable despite rising property values. The school system, which accounts for two-thirds of property tax bills, will hold hearings Thursday to decide whether to opt out as well. Residents can attend at 11 a.m. or 6 p.m. in Suwanee. STORY 2: Investigators seize 23 kilograms of meth during raids in Gwinnett Six people, including a mother and daughter, were arrested during raids on two methamphetamine operations in Gwinnett County on Feb. 12. The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office, working with the Gwinnett Metro Task Force and FBI Atlanta, seized 23 kilograms of methamphetamine and over $6,000 in cash from locations in Lilburn and Norcross. Charges ranged from trafficking methamphetamine to possession and obstruction of law enforcement. The Sheriff’s Office praised the collaborative efforts to enhance community safety. STORY 3: Jackson EMC Foundation awards $80K to agencies serving Gwinnett County residents The Jackson EMC Foundation awarded $99,890 in grants, with $80,000 benefiting Gwinnett County organizations. Recipients include Hebron Community Health Center and Hope Clinic for medical and mental health services, The Salvation Army for housing assistance, and Home Repairs Ministries for critical home repairs. Other grants supported virtual healthcare access, therapy for abuse survivors, and literacy promotion. Funded by the Operation Round Up program, which rounds members' electric bills to the nearest dollar, the initiative has provided over $21.5 million in community grants since 2005.

In the case of *Dias v. Boone*, the court reversed a lower court's decision granting Abby Boone caregiver status over Michelle Dias’s child, ruling the law didn’t apply since Boone’s relationship with the child predated the law. While the justices questioned the law’s impact on parental rights, they did not strike it down, instead issuing a narrow ruling specific to this case. STORY 5: Gwinnett Technical College Names New Vice President of Economic Development Gwinnett Technical College has named Lauren Dodson as its new Vice President of Economic Development. With over 15 years of experience in sciences and education, Dodson will oversee economic development, customized training, Quick Start, and continuing education services to address workforce needs. Her background includes roles at Partnership Gwinnett, Georgia EMC, and the Technology Association of Georgia, as well as teaching science in Gwinnett County Public Schools.

It's Monday, December 23rd, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes written by yours truly and heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  Filling in for Adam McMannus I'm Ean Leppin. Attack on a Christmas market in Germany Fox News reported on Friday that a festive Christmas market in Eastern Germany erupted into chaos when a car was driven into a group of people in the city of Magdeburg.  Between 60 and 80 people have been injured and at the time of this report 2 had been killed including a child.  The Associated Press reports that the suspect is a 50 year old Saudi doctor who came to Germany back in 2006.  German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said, ‘My thoughts are with the victims and their families.  We stand by their side and by the side of the people of Magdeburg.' Pray for all of the people involved that God will bring comfort and peace in this tragic time. Psalm 34:18 - The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed spirit. Pray for Believers in Nigeria as Christmas Day Approaches  As reported by Mission Network News Christians in Nigeria are facing an increased level of persecution for the upcoming Christmas holiday.  The terrorist group Boko Haram has historically attacked during past Christmas celebrations.  Darrel Templeton with Megavoice comments on the threat. TEMPLETON: "They're trying to scare and terrorize the Christians, to keep them from being bold in their faith, in gathering and in exercising their religious freedoms." Templeton goes on to report that the military and police force in Nigeria sometimes act more as accomplices than as watchguards.  Nigeria is currently number 6 on the list of countries where it is most dangerous to be a Christian according to Open Doors. Boko Haram isn't the only group that persecutes believers.  The climate in Nigeria is currently an open season on believers.  It has been reported that homes are looted and buildings have been burned. Word from missionaries on the ground in Nigeria report that believers there recognize the blessing of suffering in relation to their faith.  Templeton with Megavoice tells us how we can pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ. TEMPLETON: "They're not praying, or asking us to pray, that they be taken away from this, but they ask for protection and they ask for boldness." 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 But He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.  Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.  For the sake of Christ, then I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities.  For when I am weak, then I am strong. Georgia Supreme Court to consider an abortion ban As documented by the Center for Reproductive Rights. In July 2022 a court case in Georgia, SisterSong v the State of Georgia sought to block HB 481, which bans abortions after approximately 6 weeks.  On November 15th 2022 Judge Robert McBurney of the Superior Court of Fulton County struck down the ban as void.  He further found that a subsequent change in Federal constitutional law, the overturning of Roe v Wade, does not revive the ban.  Instead, if the legislature wishes to ban abortion, it must pass a new law.  Just a week later on Nov 23rd the Georgia Supreme Court granted an emergency stay of the injunction, allowing the ban to take effect once again while the state's appeal continued.  As of October 7th of this year The Supreme Court of Georgia issued a ruling staying the trial court decision striking down HB 481.  This reinstated the abortion ban while the appeal proceeds at the Georgia Supreme Court. In response The Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Erik Baptist who is also director of the ADF Center for Life has filed a brief on behalf of the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine asking the court to reverse the lower court ruling that permanently blocks Georgia's pro-life Living Infants Fairness and Equality Act or LIFE Act.  The LIFE Act protects the life of an unborn child when a fetal heartbeat is detected. Erik Baptist is quoted as saying, ‘The Georgia Superior Court made a critical error when it pitted the interests of a mother against those of her child as a reason for ruling the LIFE Act unconstitutional. The Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine has a vested interest in holistic care for both mother and child, and we are urging the court to reverse the lower court's decision and follow U.S. Supreme Court precedent that allows states to enact and enforce pro-life laws.' Hope Being Delivered Through Chainsaws for Christ in North Carolina Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina earlier this year.  CBN News reports that some 120,000 homes were damaged or destroyed.  As temperatures have dropped and winter is settling in, displaced families are facing desperate situations and continuing to rely on the churches and faithbased community for help.  Reverend Scott Rogers with the Asheville Buncombe Community Christian Ministry says The churches are the heartbeat of this effort… ROGERS: "The churches are the heartbeat, and, if you will, the nervous system, the spinal cord, that gets the message of the needs to the churches, back to our central support systems, and that's what God's people do.  That's what the Bible Belt is all about." This Christian Ministry unites 300 churches and 5000 volunteers to provide temporary shelter, food, clothing and long term recovery assistance.   Another ministry that has been helping out in North Carolina is Chainsaws for Christ. (Facebook link here) It's founder Brent Allmon talks about what motivates him to serve. ALLMON: "And I just want to help them.  People help me, and God loves me.  He loves you.  He loves everyone that's listening to this.  I just want them to know that there is peace and hope in the name of Jesus Christ." Literally everything that Brent and Chainsaws for Christ brings has been provided by the Lord through donations.  The chainsaws, tools, food, volunteers, RV that he sleeps in to the Christmas toys they are providing to the community.   So what does Brent charge to those receiving services from Chainsaws for Christ? ALLMON: "For us, zero.  The Lord paid it over 2000 years ago, and we get the opportunity to give back just a little bit."

In each episode of this podcast, our guests will share their personal stories, passions, and challenges, past and present, all with a goal of bringing people together and learning more about others. You might be surprised by what we all have in common, inclusivity included.  Kendra: Hello, I am Kendra Perkins Norwood, a government contracts partner at Reed Smith LLP based in Washington, D.C., and I am elated to welcome you to this very special episode of the Inclusivity Included podcast. So this is a special series of Inclusivity Included, and it's dedicated to an organization that is very near and dear to my heart called the Leadership Institute for Women of Color Attorneys, otherwise known as LIWOCA. So Reed Smith was very gracious in agreeing to host and sponsor this LIWOCA series of Inclusivity Included. And as a Reed Smith partner and a member of the LIWOCA Board of Trustees, I could not be more proud to be a part of bringing this podcast to life. So thank you very much to Reed Smith for their generous support. Now, many of you may be wondering exactly what is LIWOCA. So it is an organization whose mission is to help women of color attorneys in law firms and corporate legal departments, develop skills to become leaders in the legal profession. LIWOCA is also dedicated to assisting law firms and corporations with retaining and promoting women of color attorneys. And last but not least, the organization is dedicated to fueling the pipeline of women of color attorneys through law school scholarships. Today, for our inaugural episode, we are so fortunate to have as our guests LIWOCA's founder, Marian Cover Dockery, as well as a longtime LIWOCA member, Philippa Ellis. So I would like to welcome you both to the podcast. We're so excited to have you here, and I will just turn the mic over to you for you two to get started.  Philippa: Thank you, Kendra. It is quite an honor to have this time with you, Marian, as CEO of Leadership Institute for Women of Color Attorneys. And I am excited to talk to you about your role with starting Leadership Institute for Women of Color Attorneys. I'll call it LIWOCA. You know, LIWOCA has awarded over $300,000 in scholarships to deserving law students, hosted 20 national networking conferences for women of color attorneys from across the nation. And the organization has provided a platform for not only professional networking, but also professional development and mentorship connections. So as we're approaching a big number, 20th anniversary, coming up on the April 23rd through 24th conference in 2025, Marian, take us back to the moment in time when you initially had the idea to launch LIWOCA.  Marian: Thank you. And I just want to say before I launch into that, I want to thank Reed Smith on behalf of LIWOCA for underwriting this and Kendra Norwood, partner at Reed Smith, and Rachel Patterson of ORC who facilitated this podcast. Let me go back to the American Bar Association conference in Chicago, which was 20 years ago, the Commission on Women in the Profession were holding a session, and the session focused on a report, a riveting report called Visible Invisibility. That report chronicled the and detailed the sexual harassment, sexual discrimination, racial discrimination, and disrespect that women of color all across the nation were experiencing in law firms. So after that report was read, a colleague of mine, Julia Doolin, and I went back to Atlanta and decided that we could do something about this. So my idea was to have an annual conference, bringing all of these talented women into one space and giving them support through sessions, panel discussions, also just keynote speakers who could impart their knowledge and advice regarding becoming successful in law firms. We had to figure out, first of all, how we were going to put this on because we had to have money. So luckily, I had two contacts who were CEOs. One who I'd worked with on the Pace Academy board, the CEO of Rooms to Go, and another who was the CEO of Darden Restaurants, who I'd met through one of my good friends. He was her brother-in-law. And I just sent both of them emails and told them what trying to do. And both sent big checks. And after that, we were on our way because posting those two companies as sponsors. All the Atlanta firms and other firms and companies followed. To put the program together, I just called friends and associates and really calls her friends and associates to work or serve on panels and to serve as keynote speakers. We had two keynote speakers that year. Chief Justice Leah Sears, who was the first African American to serve on the Georgia Supreme Court, and the youngest woman ever to serve on a state Supreme Court, and Judge Glenda Hatchett, the TV personality who was the former juvenile court judge. And we had a Fulton County. And we just had two great speakers. Glenda auctioned off one of her shoes, which launched an auction that we have an auction even today. But it's not her shoe. It's a quilt. We auction off quilts every year that O.V. Brantley, the former Fulton County attorney and DeKalb County attorney, donates to us every year. And that's how we got started. And we did that for two years, we were the Leadership Academy, and then we reincorporated as the Leadership Institute with a planning committee because it was too much work for a couple of people. And so here we are today.  Philippa: And 20 years later, Marian, you know, thinking about what you mentioned about Justice Sears being a first, you yourself have, you know, a checklist of firsts. You were the first woman and first diverse attorney in the legal department at FedEx. You were also the first African-American woman to serve in an executive management position at BP Oil. And those are just a couple of roles you held during your journey to serving as CEO of LIWOCA and at the same time you have an active labor and employment discrimination and wage and hour claims practice. You've practiced for 40 years and just looking at your trajectory and your journey in the legal profession, have you been able or do you feel you've been able to impart that type of support and meet your goals for the organization, as you mentioned, with a goal of supporting diverse women lawyers?  Marian: Absolutely. One of my goals for the annual conference was to bring experienced senior attorneys into a room with attorneys starting out who could impart their knowledge, their expertise, how to navigate racism and sexual harassment in the workplace without derailing your career. I've wanted more experienced attorneys to interface with the younger attorneys to give them informal mentoring. And we've done that. We've done that through just informally, but also we had some what we call speed mentoring sessions throughout the years. But more importantly, I don't think of it as a conference. I thought of it as an experience. It was so uplifting having all these wonderful, accomplished women in one room who were excited to see each other because so many of these women, as I was, are the only ones in their firm, maybe in their law firm, but maybe not in their section if they were in big law. Many women were unhappy with big law, and the study showed, Invisible Invisibility, showed that women of color were leaving the legal profession because they were so disillusioned and so disappointed and unhappy. But one of the goals was to present to them alternatives to working in big law. You could go to a smaller or mid-sized firm and be happier. You could go perhaps in-house or work in the government or work in nonprofits, but don't give up the practice of law because the social implications for that were just huge. And we put so many resources, money and time into going through law school and passing the bar and our hopes and dreams to give up the practice of law just because of bad experience at one firm was just something we didn't want people to consider.  Philippa: You know, Marian, you also, and just kind of thinking about all of the mentorship relationships that have been sparked from the LIWOCA conferences and all of the connections, you know, the legacy of LIWOCA is one of support. Sisterhood, professional sisterhood, and, you know, also the scholarships that have been provided to law students. Can you talk a little bit about how you decided to provide that support for law students, aspiring lawyers?  Marian: We decided to provide scholarships for lawless students, but that was only after we knew financially we could do so. We were a startup organization, and it was important for us to conserve our funds. So the idea for scholarships actually was Julia, who left the organization. And when we got to that point, I think it was maybe our third conference or maybe it was our second conference, we were able to offer some money. But running a business, you know, you want to have money in reserve. We were able to do that, but also what you were saying about the mentoring and support, the environment for leadership is one of support. It is one where people feel comfortable enough to walk up to you and say, at least many have just come up to me and ask a question, and they may have a problem. And I don't think all conferences create that atmosphere. I don't think all conferences create that environment where you feel that comfort level. So for me, I just felt so blessed to be able to meet women from all over the United States, women of color from all of the United States, who were successful, who were committed to their careers, and committed to reaching back and providing advice to younger attorneys who were starting their careers. Throughout sessions, I think we have been able to give support as well. It's important for our attorneys to take care of their physical health, their emotional health. I believe at that first conference, we had one young lady who was obviously suffering from depression. We need to learn how to manage our finances because many start with law firms making lots of money and they don't know how to manage it. And then if they get cut and they have to go to a job paying them less, they are faced with financial challenges. So that first conference, we had someone from one of the big financial firms give a presentation on that. And we have done that almost every year thereafter, how to invest in your retirement, how to have a rainy day fund, you know, live a little below your means. And once you get to the point where you have your savings and you can pay all your bills, we want you to start investing your money in addition to retirement for a rainy day.  Philippa: And those goals you've talked about have, you know, just as a conference attendee at that first conference, I remember learning so much that, you know, so many tools to place in my toolkit. And I know that others that I've heard over the years, how many other attendees say pretty much their cup is full when they attend a conference and they leave ready to tackle the profession, ready to tackle, you know, everything that all of the challenges that are placed before them, you know, in their in this legal profession. And just want to say to you, Marian, I agree with you that your goals have been met and just as someone who has attended every conference. And I'd like to hear from you on what you've had such wonderful conferences and I agree that they are truly an experience. So looking back, can you share some of the most memorable moments for you as the founder and CEO of LIWOCA, just reflecting over the past 20 years?  Marian: Oh, there's so many. One was the networking reception that LexisNexis sponsored. We had several of those receptions where we sat down at tables with our hors d'oeuvres and drinks and wrapped. Each person was asked to bring a book, age appropriate for a young woman, 10 to 14, 10 to 13 years old, and write a little note in the cover of the book. LexisNexis provided the gift wrap and the tape and the scissors. But while we were wrapping, and people wrapped more than one or two books, because LexisNexis also provided some extra books for people who may have forgotten to bring some. And while we were sitting there wrapping all those books, and we wrapped over 300 books that were donated to the Coretta Scott King Academy, and to Girls, Inc. But while we were wrapping those books, we also had conversations with attendees. We met attendees, we networked, and it was a true networking event. And it was fun. And we were at the same time doing something, you know, for charity. And then also, I remember some of our great speakers, the Honorable Vanessa Gilmore, who was the federal district judge at that time for the Southern District of Texas. She was so engaging and so funny, we couldn't get people out of the lunchroom. They continued asking questions. We were ringing the bell. I was trying to usher people out. And we were 30 minutes behind our next session. She was just that fantastic. Michele Coleman Mayes. She was the general counsel of Allstate. And she brought her mentee on the stage. And they engaged in a conversation. And she was really her sponsor. But that conversation was in a format that she created. It wasn't our idea, but it was a big hit because the attendees listening to that conversation were able to walk away with some ideas from that conversation. Also, Sandra Leung, who was the executive vice president and general counsel for Bristol Myers Squibb, she was just fantastic. I think everyone enjoyed her speech. She just gave so much good advice and talked about her career trajectory. And, of course, our first conference was actually my favorite conference because it was probably because it was the first and was like, oh, my God, it's a success, able to do this. It happened. Starting anything from scratch is hard work. And when you say, don't say you Marianne, but it was after, you know, that second year, it was a planning committee. And a lot of people, including you, contributed to making those conferences a success. There's no way year after year I could have done that by myself. Although I was conference president and conference chair for 10 years. And, you know, that is a heavy, that's a heavy burden to carry, but it was a labor of love. So those are some of the highlights of the conference and just mingling with people and meeting new people. I feel so fortunate to have met women of color attorneys from all over the country who I never would have met. And also a lot in Georgia. I never would have met you. Because we work in our silos unless we go to your reception or national conference and that's usually going to you're usually going to gravitate to those sessions in your specialty it's hard to meet new people so those are some of the the highlight for me.  Philippa: You know, LIWOCA has been so successful over these past 20 years. There's a steady flow of lawyers wanting to get involved with planning and those who attend. What else is there for Marian Cover Dockery to do? What do you envision as next steps for LIWOCA? What's on the horizon?  Marian: Well, one of the initiatives we've already started, and that's to have regional events. We had our first in Santa Monica this summer. Teresa Becerra, who's a partner at Spencer Fane, connected with me through one of our attendees, Rachel Patterson, who I guess she said, how can we do this? And I said, you tell me what you want me when you want to do it and I'll be there. And another attorney in Philadelphia, likewise, wants to have a networking reception or a reception actually to introduce LIWOCA to attorneys and partners who are unaware of the organization to help our organization grow. So in Santa Monica, there were eight to 10 attorneys, women of color. None of them had heard of LIWOCA. All of them were excited about it. All of them wanted to come next year and hopefully, you know, bring an associate from their firm. So I would like to see us grow, but I don't, you know, it's really not my decision. We have a board now. We have a planning committee. We were an executive committee. Personally, I don't want us to grow where we've got thousands of people if that were ever possible. I like the idea of having a manageable group of people because I think that the level of comfort for many of the attorneys who aren't real gregarious and outgoing to just approach someone and ask them for advice, I think it increases with a smaller, more comfortable number of attendees. I also would like to see us create a job board so that people know of job opportunities in the legal profession. I would also like a newsletter that would give the attendees an opportunity to submit articles that perhaps they have written or already published to help, you know, get the word out that, and also that's helpful for them if they are trying to develop business. So among our group of attendees, we have so many who are representing corporations like you, law firm, and someone may see an article and be impressed with it, and that might be an opportunity for the person who wrote the article for a future job opportunity. So those are some of the things I would like to see. This podcast is great. More marketing opportunities to get the word out about our organization. There's so much room for, you know, several of these types of organizations You cannot have too many And even though there are not a lot of women of color attorneys We are scattered all over the United States. And there is a critical mass that needs to be served. And just let me just say this, that you were talking about my past. My first job, legal job, was in a law firm where it was as a law clerk. And I was so disillusioned working in that job because one of the partners came on to me and I quit. And it was a small firm. It wasn't like it was a big firm and I could avoid this guy. And so when I heard that report, I understood how many of those women felt who left their law practice. Of course, I was just clerking in a law firm a second year, so that's not the same as having a permanent job where you're depending on that salary. But just think about, I mean, you know, I thought about that. I said, how horrible, all your hopes and dreams and your excitement and enthusiasm, you're going to practice law, you pass the bar, you're entering this firm, and you're faced with all these obstacles. So I think back 40-plus years when that happened, when I was in law school, and to think that it's still going on now is very disconcerting. But I believe that women are smarter now. They can be given tools and advice as to how to circumvent that. And, of course, we have sexual harassment laws. And, you know, most lawyers aren't going to sue a firm, but they have options. They have options to work in other places that are more friendly for women and that are really focused on promoting and elevating women.  Philippa: Definitely, the LIWOCA does serve as a place where women of lawyers can convene and share their journey, you know, obstacles, share their successes, you know, meet, find mentors and become mentors. I mean, you have just really filled an unmet need and so glad you attended that American Bar Association meeting where you learned of the Visible Invisibility Study. And, you know, as we close, you know, what would be your message to any woman of color or any supporter or ally who is contemplating getting involved with LIWOCA or attending a conference? What would be your message to them or what guidance would you provide?  Marian: Well, I would tell them to go to our website, leadingwomanofcolor.org, and register for our next conference and tell their friends about it. I would also say if you've already attended a conference and you'd like to get involved, email our administrator at info@leadingwomanofcolor.org. Sue Ann Daniel will put you in touch with whoever is the president at that time. This year, our president is Gillian Crowl. So, you know, there's always room for help. And if you don't have time to work on a planning committee as a member, because it is a lot of work, we don't want to sugarcoat it. It's a lot of work. You can't practice law and then be involved in 10 other things and then this. Be smart about how you want to contribute. You can contribute to LIWOCA, as I said, by donating, sending an article to us, and, you know, we'll put it in a newsletter or sending your job openings, and we'll put it on a job board. That is the advice I would give to anyone who's interested. And then when they come to the conference, I would seek out a planning committee member and ask them what was involved. But don't get involved just to put it on your resume. You have to be committed because it is a time commitment. It's work. It's work. And let me just add this. It's a lot less work now that we have an administrator because we didn't always have an administrator. And our administrator is fantastic because she's also technologically adapted to doing everything. She has skills that we appreciate. And she is organized and she's worked on these conferences enough to know what has to be done.  Philippa: Well, Marian, as we close, I would like to repeat that email is info@leadingwomenofcolor.org. Marian Cover Dockery, founder and CEO of LIWOCA, thank you so much for your commitment to improving the profession, for helping others, for providing encouragement, support, financial support even for the law school scholars. Thank you for your legacy of excellence. Just thank you.  Marian: Well, thank you, Philippa, and thank you for all that you have done over the years to help make the organization a success as our vice chair.  Kendra: Wow, what a fantastic first episode of our podcast, and how amazing has it been to hear from both of you about all these wonderful memories of such a tremendous organization and one that I'm very, very proud to be affiliated with. So thank you both for your time, for all your efforts over the years, and we look forward to seeing another set of special guests on the very next episode of Inclusivity Included, the LIWOCA edition.

This Day in Legal History: Saddam Hussein Sentenced to DeathOn November 5, 2006, Saddam Hussein, former President of Iraq, was sentenced to death by hanging by the Iraqi High Tribunal. This judgment followed a lengthy trial process in which Hussein was found guilty of crimes against humanity, including the 1982 mass killing of 148 Shiite Muslims in the town of Dujail. The Dujail massacre was carried out in response to a failed assassination attempt on Hussein, leading to mass arrests, torture, and the destruction of local farmland. Hussein's trial, held in Baghdad, was one of the most closely watched and controversial trials of its time, bringing international focus on Iraq's fledgling judicial system and the challenges it faced in balancing fairness with the demand for justice.The trial faced various disruptions, including assassinations of defense lawyers, allegations of bias, and criticisms regarding procedural flaws. Hussein himself was often defiant in court, questioning the legitimacy of the tribunal and claiming that his actions as president were lawful under Iraqi sovereignty. Despite these defenses, the court concluded that the atrocities committed in Dujail warranted the ultimate penalty. Hussein's sentence and subsequent execution on December 30, 2006, marked a historic moment, as it was one of the few instances in modern history where a former head of state was tried, sentenced, and executed by his own country's judiciary. While some viewed the trial and execution as a symbol of justice for Iraq, others criticized it as a rushed process influenced by U.S. political interests in the region. The execution, carried out on a holy day for Muslims, further polarized public opinion and left a complex legacy, both within Iraq and internationally.As the 2024 U.S. presidential election nears, the Supreme Court is preparing for a potential influx of election-related litigation, echoing the post-2020 legal battles when Donald Trump and his allies challenged his loss to Joe Biden. Although the Supreme Court largely dismissed Trump's 2020 appeals, legal experts anticipate another wave of lawsuits if the upcoming race, currently tight according to polls, results in a Trump loss. Already, some cases have reached the Supreme Court, including one involving Pennsylvania mail-in ballots—an issue also contested in 2020.The court's conservative majority, which includes three Trump appointees, may face pressure to rule on election-related disputes. Although the Supreme Court recently provided Trump some legal wins, including reversing a Colorado ruling disqualifying him from the ballot, experts doubt it will intervene to decide the election outcome unless it is extremely close. Nonetheless, lawsuits have proliferated, with the Republican National Committee leading numerous pre-election suits, ostensibly for election integrity, though many have not succeeded in court.The 2022 Electoral Count Reform Act also limits post-election legal disruptions by refining the process for certifying election results in Congress. Experts suggest that, despite the possible involvement of the court in narrow-margin scenarios, the current legal activity may be more focused on influencing public perception, potentially to undermine acceptance of the election's legitimacy.US Supreme Court girds for rush of election-related litigation | ReutersOn November 4, 2024, a Pennsylvania judge ruled that Elon Musk's $1 million-a-day voter giveaway could continue despite allegations that it might constitute an illegal lottery. Musk's pro-Trump America PAC launched the giveaway to voters in key swing states, offering daily payouts to those who sign a petition supporting free speech and gun rights. However, during court proceedings, America PAC's director admitted that winners were selected based on their suitability as spokespeople, rather than by random drawing as initially claimed by Musk.Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner argued that the selective nature of the giveaway constitutes fraud and sought to block it, citing vague rules and potential violations of federal law prohibiting payments for voter registration. Although the judge denied Krasner's request to halt the contest, he did not immediately provide a detailed explanation.Legal experts are divided on whether this promotion violates election laws, particularly given the Department of Justice's prior warnings to America PAC. Critics argue that the payouts could distort the election process, as Pennsylvania's electoral votes are pivotal in this closely contested race.Pennsylvania judge allows Elon Musk's $1 million voter giveaway | ReutersOn November 4, 2024, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled that Cobb County cannot extend its deadline for counting approximately 3,000 absentee ballots sent out shortly before Election Day, a decision that aligns with the Republican National Committee's (RNC) stance and benefits Donald Trump's campaign. This ruling overturns a lower court's extension that would have allowed ballots to be counted through Friday, limiting the count only to ballots arriving by 7 p.m. on Election Day. Civil rights groups had sought an extension, arguing the county delayed ballot mailings due to high demand, potentially disenfranchising affected voters. However, the RNC argued that extending the deadline would violate Georgia law. Cobb County, a racially diverse area in Atlanta's suburbs, is seen as a crucial battleground, having leaned Democratic in recent elections. The court also ordered that ballots arriving after the deadline be set aside, though affected voters can still vote in person on Election Day. Georgia's decision may significantly impact the presidential race, as the state is critical in the close contest between Trump and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.Georgia top court won't extend ballot deadline in win for Trump | ReutersElection Op-EdAs you head to the polls today, I'm not here to tell you who to vote for. You have to decide that for yourself. Instead, I'd like to offer a few brief anecdotes from the past to think about. This election cycle, debates over sporting events and who gets to participate in them have taken center stage in a way that feels unprecedented. Yet, the arguments for exclusion are far from new—they have a long and disturbing history. Time and again, appeals to "fairness," "tradition," and "protecting the game" have been used to justify keeping certain groups out of sports. In the full light of history, it is clear: among right minded individuals, these arguments have consistently aged poorly, serving only to reveal the bias and fear underlying them, and the misguided thoughts of the time, rather than any genuine concern for the sport itself.In short, concerns about "outsiders" or "unqualified" individuals entering sports aren't new. Over the years, similar arguments have been used repeatedly to exclude certain groups from competing, often with claims about preserving the integrity or "purity" of the game–usually by folks that care little about sport and are more interested in using it as a cudgel against the vulnerable. I wonder if these arguments sound familiar: * Some argued that a new group would "ruin the quality" of the game;* Others that their participation would be "unfair" to other players; * Still others insisted that they would "lack the skills" needed to succeed at the highest level;* Some insisted their presence would "change the culture" of the sport;* Or their presence would be a “distraction” to fans and players alike. Those were all arguments made before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball. I wonder if they sound similar to arguments made today. When a politician runs on a platform that they will keep a given sport “pure” — ask yourself, what is more likely: are they great patrons of women's sports or are they using them as a weapon to attack the vulnerable and achieve their own ends?I don't know about you, but when I heard Jackie Robinson's story as a kid I always envisioned myself, in my most ambitious moments, as one of the players that would have embraced him. When I was a bit more introspective regarding my own talents and abilities, I envisioned myself as a fan that would cheer when he took the field – not a heckler. And I can honestly say I never pictured myself as a baseball executive that would have actively worked to exclude him, and players like him. If history doesn't repeat itself but rhymes, it may be worth considering what from history rhymes with the political positions of your chosen candidate when you go to vote today.  This is a public episode.

I've strayed from routinely watching "Real Time with Bill Maher," for a couple reasons: one, I just can't keep paying for all these streaming services (the show now re-airs on CNN, though) and he's too tone-deaf on trans issues for my taste. That said, on the economy, he was spitting facts on his last "new rule" prior to Election Day. The gist? The economy doesn't need saving; it's been saved. MAGA's have an alternate reality fog they won't see through and (I agree here) Democrats have been timid to tout this. Closer to home, more than 3000 Cobb County absentee voters' ballots are imperiled by the Georgia Supreme Court's latest ruling. Will their votes count? Depends on when they're handed to Cobb Elections officials - who admit the mistake is on them & not the voters. C'mon, already . On to discuss that and her organization's more than 75 endorsed candidates up and down the ballot is Georgia WIN List executive director Melita Easters. Also on to respond to the litany of anti-trans messaging from the Trump campaign and to tout his organization's efforts to support pro-LGBTQIA+ candidates is Georgia Equality executive director Jeff Graham.

The line between zealous representation and being an obstinate ass is often said to be a fine-line to walk as attorneys. After all, if the OTHER side is playing hardball, the temptation to fight fire with MORE fire can almost seem like a responsibility. But as my guest today so eloquently puts it, “lawyers that fight over every issue do it because they don't know the issues that actually matter.”This week I was lucky to be joined by veteran trial attorney and founding partner of The Champion Firm, Darl Champion.Consistently recognized in the National Trial Lawyers ‘Top 100' in the State of Georgia, he has represented clients in every federal district court in Georgia, the Georgia Court of Appeals, Georgia Supreme Court, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, and numerous state and superior courts throughout Georgia.In our conversation we discuss the slow erosion of civility on both sides of the docket, how lawyers of impact, be they defense or plaintiff, have more in common than not, and why more of us need to approach our cases with the mindset of problem solving, not winning.As always, enjoy the show. _________________SHOWNOTES:Mindset - Carol DweckThe Slight Edge - Jeff Olson

EDITOR'S NOTE — This story includes discussion of suicide. If you or someone you know needs help, the national suicide and crisis lifeline in the U.S. is available by calling or texting 988.In this episode of Litigation Nation, co-hosts Danessa Watkins and Jack Sanker dive into two significant legal stories that highlight the intersection of technology, ethics, and the law.We begin with a high-profile criminal case in Georgia involving rapper Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffrey Williams. The case has garnered attention not only for its lengthy duration—now the longest criminal trial in Georgia's history—but also for the controversial use of rap lyrics as evidence in court. Danessa provides an update on a recent ruling from the Georgia Supreme Court that overturned a contempt conviction against Young Thug's attorney, Brian Steele. The ruling stemmed from an improper ex parte communication between the judge and a key witness, which raised serious concerns about due process and the integrity of the trial. The hosts analyze the implications of this ruling and the broader issues surrounding the criminal justice system's treatment of artists and their work.In the second segment, we shift gears to discuss a tragic case involving the death of a 14-year-old boy from Orlando, Florida, who developed an emotional attachment to an AI chatbot on the platform Character.ai. His mother has since filed a lawsuit against the company, alleging that it misrepresented the chatbot as a real person and a licensed psychotherapist, ultimately leading to her son's tragic decision to take his own life after he spent months interacting with a chatbot designed to mimic Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones. The episode explores the implications of AI companionship, particularly for vulnerable youth, and raises questions about the responsibilities of tech companies in safeguarding their users.Join us as we unpack these complex issues and their far-reaching consequences in today's society.

In this insightful episode of See You in Court, hosts Robin Frazer Clark and Lester Tate sit down with renowned Georgia divorce attorney Bill Gentry to discuss his new book, "I Want Out: A Woman's Guide to Finding Peace Through Divorce." Bill shares his decades of experience in family law, providing valuable advice for women navigating the challenges of high-asset divorces, child custody, and dealing with controlling or narcissistic spouses.

The Georgia Supreme Court has blocked the state's Republican-led election board from enforcing new election rules introduced just weeks before Election Day. We speak to Republican Janelle King, a board member who pushed for the rule changes.

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! There are only 10 days left until the election. Have you voted yet?! Georgia is experiencing record turnout. Through Wednesday, over 2 million people had already cast their ballots early across the state. It's going to be a close one, folks! The AJC released their final poll before election day showing Donald Trump with a 47% to 43% lead over Kamala Harris, with 8% of likely voters still undecided. Also this week, the Georgia Supreme Court unanimously rejected the Republican Party's effort to reinstate State Election Board rules regarding election night ballot counting and a requirement for a "reasonable inquiry" before certifying results. The one-page order upholds a Fulton County judge's ruling from last week, which declared seven new election rules to be "illegal, unconstitutional, and void." In non-Presidential-election-news, Governor Brian Kemp and Republican legislative leaders revealed a plan to tap into the state's growing surplus to provide over $1 billion in tax refunds to Georgians when they file their taxes next year. Under the proposal, Georgians could receive an income tax refund of up to $250 for single filers, $375 for heads of households, and $500 for married couples filing jointly, based on their 2023 earnings.

I'm spending a few days in coastal South Carolina where my friend Mal Hyman is working overtime on the "retail political trail" - having to get out to shake hands and meet people on-one-on as opposed to taking PAC money to flood TV and radio airwaves. It's a noble endeavor, but because of the size of his district, a gargantuan task that could be better alleviated by eliminating gerrymandering and uncapping The House, which he and I discuss a bit. Today, though, we mostly just get a sense of his "ground game," and part of that was his longtime friend, Randy Cahall, guitar in-hand, coming in for a couple weeks to help his buddy Mal out. Randy shares his talents (and a couple of really good protest movement-era songs. A nice change-of-pace from hearing me drone on and on, right? Oh, also the GOP-heavy Georgia Supreme Court smacked down state GOP efforts to save those 11th-hour MAGA-packed elections board rules. Sort of delicious to hear it from Marc Elias via Democracy Docket.

Attorney General Chris Carr's office is appealing Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney's ruling on Sept. 30, which found Georgia's six-week ban on abortions unconstitutional. The Georgia Supreme Court recently reinstated Georgia's abortion ban while it considers the state's appeal. A.C. Coquillas, the communications manager at Feminist Women's Health Center, responds to the appeal and the court's decision. Plus, from the start of his culinary career, award-winning Chef Sean Sherman discovered the lack of access to traditional Native American food and the health problems it caused for Indigenous people. As founder and executive director of The North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems (NĀTIFS), Sherman and his team are working to expand access and educate on the nationwide benefits of Native American foods. Sherman talks about his efforts to address the economic and health crises affecting Native communities and reflects on Indigenous Peoples' Day. Lastly, voters in Cobb and Gwinnett County will decide on the future of public transit where they live. Specifically, in Cobb County voters will have the opportunity to vote for or against the Mobility Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax, also known as MSPLOST. The goal of the 1% sales tax is to expand and fund Cobb County's transit services over the next 30 years. However, not everyone supports the transit proposal. We hear from Lisa Cupid, the chairwoman of the Cobb County Board of Commissioners, and Cobb County District 1 Commissioner Keli Gambrill.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's Wednesday, October 9th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark 18 Christians arrested in India for evangelism Police in India arrested 18 Christians recently on false charges of trying to forcefully convert school children.  The men and women were sharing the Gospel in the villages of India's eastern state of Bihar. A school even game them permission to enter, where they shared New Testaments with the children.  Police found nothing wrong with the Christians' actions. However, local Hindu leaders threatened massive protests if the Christians were released.  A local pastor told International Christian Concern, “The police also impounded our vehicles without any reason and have booked the case purely due to coercion by the Hindu fanatics.” Evangelical Alliance UK is on the rise As we reported yesterday, atheism is on the rise in the U.K., so much so that researchers are calling it the country's “first atheist age.” However, another group is also growing there—Evangelicals. The Evangelical Alliance UK increased by 5,000 members in the past year, bringing total membership to 23,000. That's the largest growth the alliance has seen in 30 years. Gavin Calver is the CEO of the Evangelical Alliance. He said, “We must hold our nerve theologically. Do not compromise on the things that matter in the Word of God, no matter what the price tag within your culture, and then go for it wholeheartedly in sharing the Gospel.” In 1 Corinthians 15:58, the Apostle Paul wrote, “My beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” Supreme Court: Biden cannot force ER doctors to murder babies On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Biden administration cannot force emergency room doctors in Texas to murder unborn babies. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wrote, “This is a major victory at the Supreme Court that will protect Texas medical providers from being forced to violate State law. No Texas doctor should be forced to violate his or her conscience or the law just to do their job. We successfully sued and stopped the Biden-Harris Administration's backdoor attempt to overrule State abortion laws.”  Proverbs 1:16 says, “For their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.” Georgia Supreme Court affirmed Heartbeat Law In another abortion case, the Georgia  Supreme Court reinstated the state's LIFE Act on Monday. The measure bans most abortions once a baby's heartbeat is detectable.  A lower court had struck down the law, saying it violated privacy rights. Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr appealed the ruling, writing in a court filing, “There is nothing legally private about ending the life of an unborn child.”  Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania Former President Donald Trump held a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday. It's the first time he's returned to the location after surviving an assassination attempt during a rally there in July. Tech billionaire Elon Musk joined Trump at the latest rally of 60,000 people. Musk called the upcoming presidential election a must-win situation for freedom of speech. MUSK: “This election is the most important election of our lifetime. This is no ordinary election. The other side wants to take away your freedom of speech. They want to take away your right to bear arms. Free speech is the bedrock of democracy. “If people don't know what's going on, if they don't know the truth, how can you make an informed vote? You must have free speech in order to have democracy. That's why it's the First Amendment.” Parents fear public school kids might be shot in school shooting CNN reports that parents are nervous about sending their children back into public schools after school shootings.  Following the mass attack at Winder's Apalachee High School in early September, Georgia police departments arrested at least 24 youths for registering more threats of violent attacks on schools.  And Florida's Volusia county sheriff counts 282 bogus written threats to kill or shoot up a school during the first three weeks of school this fall.  Study: Skyrocketing increase in violent threats in public schools A recent study on school threats issued last year by the American Psychological Association records an increase in School Shooting threats after the pandemic. The report documented “a 985% increase in 2021/2022 from 2020/2021, and a 244% increase in 2021/2022 compared to pre-pandemic rates.”  6% of U.S. students are homeschooled now And finally, in the fall of 2023, 6% of school aged children are homeschooled now in America. Homeschooling rates are highest in Montana, South Dakota, Alaska, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, and New Hampshire. Kansas has the lowest rate of homeschoolers, reports Teacher certification.com.

It's Wednesday, October 2nd, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark The more gov't corruption, the more persecution of Christians International Christian Concern released a report on the connection between government corruption and persecution. The report notes that countries with significant abuse of public power for private gain are also countries with high levels of persecution for Christians. Countries like Afghanistan, China, India, Iran, Nigeria, and North Korea. The report referenced multiple studies that “highlight how corruption within governmental, legal, and societal institutions can exacerbate religious persecution, leading to discrimination, violence, and marginalization of religious minorities.” Iran launched missiles against Israel Speaking of Iran, the country launched dozens of missiles into Israel on Tuesday. There were no immediate reports on any casualties or damage caused by the strike. The attack comes less than a week after Israeli airstrikes killed the leader of Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist group in Lebanon. Israel has also started ground operations against Hezbollah this week. The U.S. stood by Israel, promising severe consequences for Iranian missile attacks on Israel.  J.D. Vance beat Tim Walz in Vice Presidential debate Referring to last night's CBS Vice Presidential debate in New York City between the Republican VP nominee J.D. Vance, an Ohio Senator, and the Democratic VP nominee, Tim Walz, the Minnesota Governor, radio talk show host Erick Erickson sent an email with the subject line: “Even the Democrats Know Vance Won.” He wrote, “JD Vance just turned in the very best performance of a national candidate in decades on a debate stage. He handled himself extremely well.” Vance: Kamala ensured border crisis by dismantling Trump policy When asked about immigration, this was Vance's answer. VANCE: “We have a historic immigration crisis because Kamala Harris started and said that she wanted to undo all of Donald Trump's border policies, 94 executive orders, suspending deportations, decriminalizing illegal aliens, massively increasing the asylum fraud that exists in our system. That has opened the floodgates, and what it's meant is that a lot of fentanyl is coming into our country. “I had a mother who struggled with opioid addiction and has gotten clean. I don't want people who are struggling with addiction to be deprived of their second chance because Kamala Harris let in fentanyl into our communities at record levels. So, you've got to stop the bleeding. You've got to reimplement Donald Trump's border policies, build the wall, reimplement deportations.” Walz lied about being in Hong Kong during Tiananmen Square massacre Talk show host Erick Erickson said Governor Walz did not hold up and opened himself up to more attacks for lying about being in Hong Kong during the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. Indeed, listen to his inability to answer a straight question from CBS News moderator Margaret Brennan, reports the National Review. BRENNAN: “Governor Walz, you said you were in Hong Kong during the deadly Tiananmen Square protests in the spring of 1989, but Minnesota Public Radio and other media outlets are reporting that you actually didn't travel to Asia until August of that year. Can you explain that discrepancy?” WALZ: “To the folks out there who didn't get at the top of this: Look, I grew up in small, rural Nebraska, town of 400, town that you rode your bike with your buddies till the street lights come on. And I'm proud of that service. I joined the National Guard at 17, worked on family farms, and then I used the GI Bill to become a teacher, passionate about it, a young teacher. My first year out, I got the opportunity in the summer of ‘89 to travel to China, 35 years ago be able to do that. “I came back home and then started a program to take young people there. We would take basketball teams. We would take baseball teams. We would take dancers, and we would go back and forth to China. The issue for that was, was to try and learn. Now, look, my community knows who I am. They saw where I was at. Look, I will be the first to tell you, I have poured my heart into my community. “I've tried to do the best I can, but I've not been perfect, and I'm a knucklehead at times, but it's always been about that. Those same people elected me to Congress for 12 years, and in Congress, I was one of the most bipartisan people. Many times, I will talk a lot. I will get caught up in the rhetoric, but being there, the impact. It made the difference. It made my life. I learned a lot about China. I hear the critiques of this.” BRENNAN: “Governor, just to follow up on that: The question was, ‘can you explain the discrepancy?'” WALZ: “All I said on this was as I got there that summer and misspoke on this. So, I will just, that's what I've said. So, I was in Hong Kong and China during the democracy protests went in, and from that, I learned a lot of what needed to be in governance.” All that to say, Walz was in the United States, not Hong Kong, during the Tiananmen Square massacre, reports Reuters. Hurricane Helene claims 140 lives; Nearly 2 million without power Rainstorms followed by Hurricane Helene dumped over 40 trillion gallons of water across the Southeast U.S. over the last week. The storm has caused at least 140 deaths across six states. Hundreds of people are still missing, and over 1.7 million homes and businesses are without power. North Carolina faced some of the worst flooding. Among the damage there was Ridgecrest Conference Center in Black Mountain, the host of many Christian retreats over the years. Christian groups like Samaritan's Purse have been providing supplies and aid in the region. On Monday, Former President Donald Trump visited hurricane-ravaged Georgia alongside Franklin Graham, the founder of Samaritan's Purse. Listen to Graham's comments. GRAHAM: “This building behind us represents hundreds of thousands of people that have lost homes, businesses, friends, loved ones. And it's going to take an army of volunteers and people to respond. And, of course, at Samaritan's Purse, we want to respond, always in Jesus' name.” In Mark 9:41, Jesus said, “For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.” Georgia's Heartbeat law declared unconstitutional In other Georgia news, a state judge ruled on Monday that Georgia's heartbeat law is unconstitutional. The ruling came despite the Georgia Supreme Court upholding the law last year. Georgia's 2019 Living Infants Fairness and Equality Act effectively banned abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. The latest ruling would allow abortions up to 20 weeks. Chris Carr, the state's Republican Attorney General, announced he will appeal the ruling. He said, “We believe Georgia's life act is fully constitutional.”  Kris Kristofferson died Kris Kristofferson died Saturday at 88 years of age.  Haunted through his lifetime by the Christian faith, the singer songwriter of "Why Me Lord?" and "Sunday Morning Coming Down" was known for his contemplative lyrics.  KRISTOFFERSON: “Lord, help me, Jesus, I've wasted it. So, help me, Jesus. I know what I am. Now that I know that I needed You so, help me, Jesus. My soul's in Your hand.” Alex Kendrick chats with Adam McManus And finally, today, as I guest host for Kevin Swanson on Generations Radio, I chat with Alex Kendrick who co-wrote and directed the Christian film called The Forge. It highlights the power of Christian discipleship. KENDRICK: “We wrote this script about a young 19-year-old who has graduated high school, trying to figure out what direction he goes in life. His father's abandoned him, but he does have a praying mother, and she's asking God to send someone into his life that can call him to faith in You and help mentor him as he steps into manhood. “We watch the path of young Isaiah, the 19-year-old, go on the ups and downs of stepping into manhood, embracing responsibility, and growing in his faith. By the end of the film, we hope that people say, ‘I want that to happen to me' or perhaps one of your children.” Take a listen to my conversation with Christian filmmaker Alex Kendrick at Generations.org/radio. That's Generations.org/radio. The Forge is still in 700 theaters. So, make plans to see it this week if you haven't already done so. To find a theater near you, go to TheForgeMovie.com.  My family laughed and cried. And we were inspired to be better disciples of Christ and to help fulfill the Great Commission by making disciples.

A Georgia state court judge presiding over the Trump special purpose grand jury in his criminal case just struck down Georgia's 6-week abortion ban as violative of a woman's fundamental liberty right enshrined in the Georgia constitution. Michael Popok explains on what grounds the Judge, against the wishes of his own Georgia Supreme Court, reinstated Georgia's original 22-week ban. Sundays: Get 40% off your first order of Sundays.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for October 1st Publish Date:  October 1st    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.  Today is Tuesday, October 1st and Happy 100th Birthday to President Jimmy Carter ***10.01.24 – BIRTHDAY – JIMMY CARTER*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia.  1.       Judge tosses Georgia abortion ban 2.       Smyrna Police Officers Shot, Suspect Killed in Burglary at Adventure Outdoors 3.       Cobb, Marietta Schools See Improved Results in Math All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!    BREAK: CU of GA (06.26.24 CU OF GA FREE CHECKING_REV_FINAL) STORY 1:  Judge tosses Georgia abortion ban A Fulton County judge has overturned Georgia's "heartbeat" law, which banned abortions after six weeks, citing it as unconstitutional. Judge Robert McBurney emphasized women's rights to control their bodies without government interference. The law, passed in 2019, was blocked until 2022 after Roe v. Wade was overturned. The case, challenged by SisterSong, saw McBurney's initial ruling in 2022 overturned by the Georgia Supreme Court, but he reaffirmed his decision Monday. The ruling reverts abortion rights to pre-2019 standards, allowing abortions up to 23-24 weeks. The issue remains contentious in the presidential election, with differing views from candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. STORY 2:     Smyrna Police Officers Shot, Suspect Killed in Burglary at Adventure Outdoors Two Smyrna Police officers were injured, and a suspect was killed during a burglary at Adventure Outdoors. The incident occurred late Friday night when officers attempted to arrest 21-year-old Emilio Aguilar, who fired a rifle, injuring two officers in the leg. Both officers are in stable condition, with one still hospitalized. Three Cobb Police officers, arriving just before the shooting, returned fire, killing Aguilar. No Cobb officers were injured. The GBI is investigating, and the case will be reviewed by the Cobb County District Attorney. Adventure Outdoors expressed support for the officers and their families. STORY 3:  Cobb, Marietta Schools See Improved Results in Math The 2023-2024 Georgia Math Milestones scores reveal significant improvements in math for Marietta and Cobb County schools. Cobb saw score increases across all levels, while Marietta improved or maintained scores except in third grade. Cobb students outperformed state averages, with Marietta excelling in certain grades. Marietta's Algebra scores showed notable growth, doubling Cobb's and tripling state growth. Both districts surpassed state proficiency levels, with Cobb leading in Algebra. Marietta's diverse student groups, including students with disabilities, also showed strong performance. The new math standards, implemented last year, contributed to these gains, reflecting successful educational strategies. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

The Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency declared a local emergency within a 50-mile radius of the plant. The fire at the Conyers facility, which produces pool chemicals, led to evacuations. The EPA is monitoring air quality for chlorine, but Cobb County reports no detected chlorine or hydrogen chloride. With winds blowing northeast, away from Cobb, no precautionary measures are currently needed, though monitoring continues. STORY 5:  Mableton Cityhood Headed to Georgia Supreme Court A group of Mableton residents is challenging the constitutionality of the city's establishment in the Georgia Supreme Court. The lawsuit, initially dismissed in Cobb County Superior Court, argues that House Bill 839, which created Mableton and community improvement districts (CIDs), violates the state's single subject rule. The plaintiffs claim the bill improperly combines two distinct government entities. Despite the dismissal, the residents have appealed, with oral arguments set for November 6. Mableton Mayor Michael Owens expressed confidence in the city's legal standing, emphasizing the focus on progressing despite the legal challenge.

Two specially-built C-130Js will join NOAA's fleet by 2030, aiding in hurricane forecasting, tornado research, atmospheric studies, and more. These aircraft improve hurricane track accuracy by over 15% and intensity forecasts by at least 10%. Funded partly by the 2023 Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, the C-130Js will be based in Lakeland, Florida, enhancing NOAA's data-gathering capabilities for extreme weather and climate research. STORY 7:    The Battery Atlanta's 2024 Holiday Festivities The Battery Atlanta's holiday celebrations begin with a Tree Lighting ceremony on November 30, featuring entertainment and a visit from Santa. Santa will be available for visits at his Post Office from November 22 to December 24, where families can take photos and drop off letters. The Holiday Market will showcase diverse local businesses.

STORY 2:  Gwinnett schools officials defend putting weapons detection systems in stadiums instead of schools Hurricane Helene delayed the debut of Gwinnett County Public Schools' new weapons detection devices at Lanier High School's football stadium, as all games were canceled. The devices, part of a $3 million purchase, aim to enhance safety at athletic events. District officials demonstrated the devices to the media, addressing concerns about prioritizing stadiums over schools. The Evolv system can detect concealed weapons and will be implemented gradually at football games. While some parents questioned the decision, officials emphasized the importance of a multi-layered security approach, including cameras and school resource officers, to ensure safety.

Residents are advised to avoid roads due to strong winds and potential flooding. Closures include all Gwinnett County Public Library branches, Georgia Gwinnett College classes, and the GGC Preview Day. Gwinnett County Courts have canceled hearings and trials, except for first appearances at the Detention Center. The Animal Welfare's Return to Community Cat Program and all Health and Human Services senior centers will also be closed. The Tax Commissioner offices closed early on Thursday and will remain closed today. STORY 7:  Georgia Supreme Court disqualifies West, De la Cruz from presidential ballot Presidential candidates Cornel West and Claudia De la Cruz will appear on Georgia's Nov. 5 ballot, but their votes won't count due to a Georgia Supreme Court ruling. The court upheld lower court decisions that their electors filed improper nominating petitions. Consequently, only four candidates—Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, Libertarian Chase Oliver, and Green Party's Jill Stein—are qualified. Although it's too late to remove West and De la Cruz from the ballot, polling places will post notices that votes for them won't count. This decision reversed an earlier order by Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: Gwinnett County Fair (07.29.24 GWINNETT FAIRGROUNDS_FINAL) Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Late on a Sunday night in September of 2016, Atlanta power couple, Tex and Diane McIver, were driving back into the city and got caught in Atlanta's notorious traffic. Diane's best friend was driving as Diane rode in the passenger seat and her husband, Tex, sat directly behind her. When they were stopped in what they considered a dangerous part of town, Tex asked for his gun, and then fell asleep. What happened next would cause one of the most hotly debated criminal cases in recent Atlanta history.I covered this case in August 2019. But In June 2022, the Georgia Supreme Court unanimously reversed Tex's convictions. This episode is a refresher on the original episode and an analysis on the new developments in the case.
