With word that Kamala Harris wouldn't be seeking the California governor's office in 2026 came immediate speculation (and derision) she's eyeing a second go at the White House in 2028. Incidentally, 'Meet The Press' anchor Kirsten Welker (again) brought up this alleged, yet-to-be-proven cover-up inside the Biden White House to shield Americans from knowing the former President was .... old?Why am I the only one troubled by mainstream media types insisting there's a "there" there? It smacks of ageism and the same kind of "took the bait" group-think the right lambasts Beltway media over when it's "RussiaGate" or "the dossier." Meanwhile, someone I'm still going to insist should be considered for a Presidential movement (til he says he absolutely won't do it) is 'The Daily Show' Monday host Jon Stewart. He and author ("Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza" ) Peter Beinart - two Jewish American men - had such a profound conversation last Monday - about Netenyahu's bloodlust and the long-range ramifications on Israeli safety and security - I felt it worthy of revisiting. Just more reason I see Stewart as a "Trump elixir" for most of non-MAGA America. C"mon, Jon.------Stacey Abrams also isn't running for governor - here in Georgia - at least not yet. A recent interview with NPR's Tanya Mosley about her latest novel, "Coded Justice" naturally led Mosley to ask while she had Abrams on. The TL:DR is she's "not ruling it out." Meanwhile, an Abrams-led organization - Fair Fight Action - is working to counter-act state government-led voter purges by providing an online search tool to help Georgia registered voters check their standing. ------Georgia Recorder op/ed columnist Jay Bookman penned a response piece denouncing Lieutenant Governor (and 2026 gubernatorial candidate) Burt Jones' pitch to have Georgia ditch the state income tax. Bookman used liberal tools - facts, math and data - to make a cogent argument against Jones' scheme to put a greater burden on the poor and working class to fund the state's budget.------There's movement in the tussle to succeed U.S. Rep. Mike Collins. Thirty-year old state representative Houston Gaines has tossed his hat in the ring. On the left is Lexy Doherty, but there are rumors a conservative Democrat from Hall County is set to announce his run, too, but until verified, there's little to do but speculate. ------Georgia's two Democratic Senators joined a Bernie Sanders-led push to limit military aid to Israel. Good!
