SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWIs the future of American democracy truly hanging by a thread? With the presidential race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump shockingly neck-and-neck, I can't help but question how this could be happening in 2024? Let's confront the unsettling reality of what keeps Trump's base so fervently loyal despite his history of misinformation and lack of clear policy. The stakes have never been higher, and voter apathy among young, Latino, and older demographics only intensifies the urgency of this election. Join me as I express my frustration and disbelief, urging the Wolfpack to step up and make a difference as we edge closer to election day.As Trump's newest string of falsehoods takes aim at the federal response to Hurricane Helene, I dissect these claims and highlight the importance of cutting through the noise of political deception. From misleading accusations against Biden's communication with Georgia's Governor Kemp to unfounded allegations of bias in North Carolina, this episode challenges you to discern truth from fiction. I extend a heartfelt call to action to vote blue and stand firm against chaos, reminding us all to hold onto hope and keep pushing for change. Let's preserve democracy and remain steadfast in our collective fight for a better future.AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

We'll be right back Break 2: TOM WAGES STORY 4: Georgia Gwinnett College's FAFSA center now open through Aug. 1 Georgia Gwinnett College's Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) Completion Center will extend its operations until August 1 due to high demand. Since its launch in late April, the center, located conveniently on campus, has assisted over 400 students with their FAFSA applications. The FAFSA is crucial for determining federal aid eligibility, though the streamlined form introduced by the U.S. Department of Education in late 2023 has posed challenges. Kimberly Jordan, GGC's Executive Director of Financial Aid Services, highlighted the center's role not only in aiding applications but also in providing personalized support to students. The center remains committed to helping students start or continue their academic journey smoothly. STORY 5: One Man's Efforts to Stop Mulberry Cityhood Continues. What We Know. Stephen Hughes, an eastern Gwinnett resident, has filed a lawsuit against the state of Georgia in Fulton County Superior Court, challenging the constitutionality of legislation that established the city of Mulberry and scheduled its city council elections. This marks Hughes' third active lawsuit related to Mulberry's cityhood. His attorney, Allen Lightcap, argues that Senate Bill 333, which crafted Mulberry's charter and set the cityhood referendum, violates the Georgia Constitution. Hughes seeks declaratory and injunctive relief to halt the city council elections and prevent Governor Kemp from participating in any city transition. The core of Hughes' legal challenge focuses on provisions preventing Mulberry from levying property taxes and mandating specific municipal services, which he contends should be addressed through general legislation, not local mandates. Supporters of Mulberry cityhood assert these lawsuits are backed by developers opposing urban growth initiatives, following voter approval of the city in response to local development proposals. STORY 6: Community Fundraisers for New O'Kelly Memorial Library in Loganville The Friends of the O'Kelly Memorial Library group is actively fundraising to support the construction of a new library facility in Loganville, planned by the Azalea Regional Library System. With contributions from the state, Walton County, and Loganville totaling $5.7 million, the Friends group aims to raise an additional $2 million. This ambitious goal is crucial as the current library, recognized as Georgia's Library of the Year in 2021, has outgrown its 6,700-square-foot space. Challenges include insufficient room for programs and events, underscoring the need for the planned 12,000-square-foot facility which promises expanded services and community engagement opportunities. The Friends group recently received a $10,000 donation from Peach State Federal Credit Union, boosting their efforts towards this transformative project for Loganville. STORY 7: Supreme Court grants Trump partial immunity in Jan. 6 case The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, granted former President Trump significant immunity from criminal charges related to his actions during his presidency, effectively derailing a trial linked to the January 6 attack. While rejecting absolute immunity, the Court ruled that presidents cannot be prosecuted for official acts performed while in office. This decision sends the case back to lower courts and likely postpones any trial until after the November election, where Trump hopes to regain the presidency. Critics argue this delay hampers accountability, while Trump continues to face legal battles in multiple jurisdictions, including delays in Georgia and a pending sentencing in a separate case related to hush money payments. We'll have final thoughts after this. Break 4: INGLES 10 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

This Week in Pharmacy -- we have a special news correspondence from RxMile CEO Kunal Vyas with the dire importance of eliminating wasteful actions and carelessness of MailOrder Pharmacies and the safety concerns of medications being stolen or sitting in 150' degree heat. Special Interview with Joe Ed Holt --on all podcast directories! On May 8, Ed posted a sharp criticism of Governor Kemp's veto of SB 198, a bill with broad bipartisan support that would help Georgia's independent pharmacies. As then-President of the Georgia Pharmacy Association, Ed heard from many independents that if this bill didn't pass it could mean the death of their stores. As the representative of GPHA, Ed felt it was his duty to make a statement. Later that evening, Ed's employer, PruittHealth, contacted him and asked me to take it down. He complied immediately. On May 9, PruittHealth told Ed the post jeopardized their relationship with the Governor, and then they fired him. After 17 years of loyal service with not a single negative evaluation, Ed was terminated with no notice and with no severance. Ed has spent the last 7 weeks trying to get some sort of compensation for his time at the company. But PruittHealth has flatly refused stating that they violated their social media policy. This short-term decision is not good for the Pharmacy owners in Georgia nor the citizens of the state who need their Independent Pharmacies to pick up where retail chain giants are closing stores. Next part on TWIRx, the NCPA Foundation's new Executive Director --Sonja Pagniano, CFRE share their mission is to improve community-based healthcare access by supporting efforts that promote the sustainability and growth of independent community pharmacists, the most accessible healthcare provider, through scholarships, grants, and ownership development. The vision of the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) Foundation is to elevate the practice of independent community pharmacy. These programs include those that help develop the future leaders and entrepreneurs of the community pharmacy profession. While the foundation supports several programs and events that the National Community Pharmacists Association provides to the independent pharmacy community, our organization is completely autonomous and relies on external support from individuals, foundations, and corporations to maintain our far-reaching programs. Each of Waypoint's solutions are designed to increase and protect the wealth of privately held pharmacy business owners with a laser focus on empowering a wealth and health care revolution in small town America. Thank you to Matthew Coakley & Ben Coakley for your unwavering support of community pharmacy and standing shoulder to shoulder with owners across this nation.

The state's Republican Party begins its two-day annual convention in Columbus on Friday. With Donald Trump's allies now in control of the state Republican party, Governor Kemp and other mainstream leaders will once again steer clear of the gathering. On today's episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Patricia Murphy, Greg Bluestein and Bill Nigut welcome Columbus's WRBL-TV reporter Chuck Williams to the podcast to help set the stage for what could be yet another contentious GOP convention. Then, Georgia State Rep. Houston Gaines describes how the legislation he passed to trigger new investigations of cold homicide cases led GBI to make an arrest last week in the murder of UGA law school student Tara Baker in 2001. You'll also hear how the surprising agreement between Donald Trump and President Biden, who will debate in Atlanta on June 27, could reshape the contours of the race, and look at why each candidate was so quick to say yes to debating.

Welcome to today's show! I'm excited for you to meet my guest today! Steve Broadbent has led an interesting life! With a degree in Nuclear Engineering, you would have expected a career in that direction. But Steve found a different path, that included 22 years in the US Navy, in both active and reserve, retiring as a Commander! By chance, and some good luck, Steve found himself working in President George H.W. Bush's campaign and was ultimately appointed by the President as Deputy Assistant Secretary at the Department of the Treasury. After, and during, a long and successful corporate career, Steve served on the Johns Creek City Counsel and served on Fulton County Development Authority for several years. He was also appointed by Governor Kemp to the Board for the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, where he continues to serve today. We will talk about these accomplishments in more detail, and of course, what lured he and his wife Mary to the lake. And continuing a life of service to his country and community, we will talk about what lured him to run for local public office in Greene County, as a Republican candidate for County Commissioner in District 4.

Georgia first lady Marty Kemp recently said she would not vote for Donald Trump in November - and she'd "write Brian Kemp's name in. He'd make a darn good president." Trump has targeted Governor Kemp for declining to help interfere with Georgia's 2020 election result. But despite that animosity, Kemp hasn't lashed-out - and pledged to support the GOP's ultimate nominee. The Atlanta Civic Circle's Saba Long and Republican strategist Brian Robinson discuss with host Lisa Rayam. Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson is out this week.

Former Georgia Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan joins the podcast after the No Labels organization announced it won't field an independent candidate for president. Duncan speaks from the perspective of one of the possible candidates interviewed for the position. Then, a powerful gas lobbying group is running ads in Georgia and a handful of other states attacking the Biden administration's new rule which will likely force automakers to build more electric vehicles. The ad campaign flies in the face of Governor Kemp's major push to make Georgia the country's center of electric vehicle production. Plus, the hosts and Editor-in-Chief Leroy Chapman answer questions from the listener mailbag and give their choices for who's up and who's down this week.

The First Lady of Georgia, Marty Kemp, says she hasn't decided whether to vote for Donald Trump despite her husband's statement that the former president would be “better than Joe Biden.” But first, Melita Easters, founder and executive director of the Georgia WIN List, joins the podcast to discuss how her organization goes about identifying and supporting pro-choice Democratic women for seats in the legislature. And she offers her thoughts on the role she believes the restrictions being placed on abortion in Georgia and elsewhere will have on races this year. Then, Deputy Secretary of State Jordan Fuchs tells the podcast that voters should see little difference in voting procedures when they cast ballots in the upcoming election. She also comments on the humorous letter Brad Raffensperger wrote to Larry David in response to the comedian's spoof on a Georgia election law on his show “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Plus, GOP state chairman Josh McKoon is leading an effort to remove first vice-chair of the party Brian Pritchard, who a judge ruled has voted illegally numerous times.

Even as Governor Kemp has invested heavily in making Georgia a center for electric vehicle production, a powerful gas lobbying group is running ads here and in other states criticizing new Biden administration regulations that will push automakers to ramp up building electric vehicles. But first, Columbus Mayor Skip Henderson and Sandy Springs Mayor Rusty Paul join the podcast to discuss the state of their Georgia cities today. What are the biggest concerns of their constituents? How do their problems reflect similar issues facing cities across the state?

On today's episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast, Senate Majority Leader Steve Gooch joins the podcast to describe the measures still on the table on the final day of the session. He indicated the state Senate would likely not take up a measure the House passed overwhelmingly to protect the Okefenokee Swamp. He also said he prefers Governor Kemp's limited expansion of Medicaid to a measure Democrats tried to pass that would allow a full expansion of the government program. On the other side of the aisle, Senate minority leader Gloria Butler responds to Gooch's comments and adds that she thinks rejection of a measure to pass a full expansion of Medicaid is one of the biggest failures of the session.
