A former Doraville police officer who is accused of killing 16-year-old Norcross resident Susana Morales is now facing additional accusations that he allegedly broke into a Snellville family's home in 2019 and committed burglary. Snellville police filed a first degree burglary charge against Miles Bryant last week. Police initially had trouble in identifying a suspect in the case, but that changed around the same time that Bryant was arrested last month in connection with Morales' murder. The Snellville burglary is the latest crime that Bryant has been accused of committing. Gwinnett police charged him last month with false report of a crime and concealing the death of another person, and later added felony murder and kidnapping, in connection with the death of Morales, who disappeared and was killed last July. Gwinnett police also accused Bryant last month of attempting to break into a woman's home in 2018 by climbing in through her window, and of attempting to enter another woman's residence in December 2022. A Snellville police report shows the burglary at the center of the newest accusations happened at a home on Windsor Lane on May 26, 2019. Bryant was already in the Gwinnett County Jail on the charges related to Morales' death when he burglary charge was filed. Gwinnett police have not ruled out the possibility that Bryan could face additional charges related to the 2018 and December 2022 incidents that they are currently investigating.

In recent weeks, police have discovered the body of Morales, who disappeared while walking to her home near Norcross last summer. Former Doraville Police Officer Miles Bryant was arrested and charged with murder and kidnapping, as well as other crimes, in connection with Morales' death.  The same week that Morales' body was discovered in eastern Gwinnett, the body of another Norcross teen, Rodrigo Floriano Mayen, 17, was found by his family in a home, a few days after he was reported missing. Police have said he died from an overdose. Morales and Mayen were students at Meadowcreek High School. Police officials said they will not be able to discuss specific details about active cases, but they will be able to discuss department procedures for people who have concerns about what is happening in their community.

Students at Jordan Middle School in Lawrenceville put down their Chromebooks on March 2 when over 60 professionals from all walks of life took over classrooms to present, inspire and intrigue their young minds. Presenters included David Still, mayor of Lawrenceville; Jordan Middle School namesake's daughter, Judy Jordan Johnson, the former mayor of Lawrenceville, as well as a talk show host, lawyers, military personnel, authors, entertainers, and professionals from a host of other fields from medicine to professional athletes. Students were encouraged to “dress for success” and they did not disappoint. From suits to dresses, students looked the part as they engaged in conversations and activities surrounding possible career paths for their future. Organizers Felecia Sconiers and Kesha Brown have teamed up to put on more than 12 career day events over the years. However, this marked the first one of many to come at Jordan Middle School. Their passion for this event stems from the mindset that, exposing students to careers is important, but allowing them to hear about the path, with its successes and obstacles, is priceless. As an educational leader, Principal Melissa Miller, believes that career days at school are a vital component of a student's educational experience. School officials credited the volunteers as well as the Jordan Middle School community, parents and friends that showed up for making the event a success. Liberty University sophomore Jadin Skye Rafus, a Buford resident, has been honored by The National Society of Collegiate Scholars. The honor society honors high-achieving first- and second-year college students with a minimum of a 3.0 GPA. The society was founded in 1994 by veteran student affairs professional Stephen Loflin. Notable NSCS distinguished honorary members include former president Jimmy Carter, U.S. Ambassador Dr. Robin Renee Sanders, the late Senator John McCain and former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala. For the second time in a less than a week, the state Senate shot down legislation Monday aimed at legalizing sports betting in Georgia. While 30 of the 56 senators voted in favor of Senate Resolution 140, it fell short of the two-thirds majority needed to pass a constitutional amendment. Last week, the Senate defeated a second sports betting bill that did not require changing Georgia's Constitution to bring online sports betting to the Peach State. On Monday, Senator Bill Cowsert, an Athens Republican, the chief sponsor of Senate Resolution 140, argued the constitutional route was the best way to go because it would have let Georgia voters decide whether to legalize sports betting. But Senator Marty Harbin a Republican from Tyrone, said it would be irresponsible for senators to pass the issue to voters because they do not have access to the same information as the Senators. Harbin also opposed legalizing gambling because of its potential to lead to addictive gambling. The resolution's supporters pitched it as a way to create a needs-based scholarship program in Georgia to supplement the HOPE Scholarship program, which is based on merit. Under the legislation, half of the state's share of the proceeds from sports betting would have gone to needs-based scholarships. The loss of the underlying constitutional amendment as well as the defeat of last week's Senate bill left supporters of sports betting with just one remaining option. A House bill legalizing sports betting without a constitutional amendment was pending in the House Rules Committee on Monday and subject to a vote sending it to the House floor.

The Far Middle episode 91 is dedicated to a triumvirate of sports greats—Mario Lemieux, Michael Jordan, and Nolan Ryan—and their 1991 achievements. These three individuals represented greatness, which is a recurring theme in episode 91, starting with human ingenuity and innovation. Nick looks back to the start of the Industrial Revolution to present day, examining a range of metrics over that time period. These include life expectancy, infant mortality rates, income per capita, and global population. These indicators have all trended in a positive direction over the last ~200 years. While advancements in medicine and agriculture have contributed to society’s progress, the single biggest contributor is mankind’s harnessing the power of the carbon atom through energy, says Nick. He notes that nations such as the U.S. and those in western Europe that have embraced republican democracy, free markets and capitalism, individual rights, and fossil fuels have seen these metrics yield even greater gains. Given society’s track record of innovation over the past 200 years, buttressed by the carbon atom, Nick questions the motivation of global elites at the recent United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) who want to apply reparations theory based on fossil fuel consumption. Nick argues the whole idea of reparations tied to energy use or carbon utilization smacks of trying to pull down success and demoralizes innovators, instead we should be establishing pathways and policies to pull up the areas that might be lagging to improve their quality of life. Nick returns to domestic energy policy to examine the story behind a recent headline that read, “Georgia Gets Big Solar Investment.” Nick says a more fitting headline, albeit longer, would’ve been, “Over Half a Billion Dollars a Year Appropriated from the Middle Class to Offshore Conglomerate Corporation Under the Protected Graft of U.S. Climate Policy.” Nick moves from the Peach State to the Golden State to discuss California natural gas prices next, then returns to the global stage with commentary on the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland. “This past year has provided clear evidence that ‘Davos Man’ and ‘Davos Woman’ may represent the single biggest risk to humanity in the near term,” says Nick. “Sometimes I get the feeling that if we canceled the annual Davos escapade it would be an instant upgrade for the condition of humanity.” In closing, Nick returns to 1991 to highlight several of the great alternative rock albums that came out that year. Give a listen to hear Nick’s favorite.

Changes are afoot for our dearest Anthony. He has a new girlfriend named Lita. He's also now a licensed contractor with his first gig, but his clients are being a little unreasonable if you ask us. We'll talk about it. We'll also “Salina's Sidebar” about some legendary Atlanta and Peach State references (who still has their Rich's teddy bear?!). Don't forget to come back on Thursday for an Anthony-inspired  “Extra Sugar” where Nikki breaks down some crazy marketing gimmicks.

More Talk On Biased News  Kemp called for up to 1,000 members of the Georgia National Guard and made “all resources” available to respond to the protests in which six people were arrested on Saturday. The identities of several perpetrators in connection with Saturday's anti-police riots in Atlanta have been revealed, and many are reportedly wealthy activists who came to Atlanta from other states. Suspects Francis Carroll, 22 and Emily Murphy, 37, of Maine, Ivan Ferguson, 23, of Nevada, Nadja Geier, 24, of Tennessee, and Madeleine Feola of Washington State made up a list of rioters from outside The Peach State. Former Democratic Congressional candidate Phil Arballo is rearing his head yet again in another Central Valley Congressional race. This time, however, he is not entering the race as a candidate, instead opting to work as a consultant in a virtually un-winnable race. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To say Braselton teen Austin Moore was raised to love no other college football team but the Georgia Bulldogs would be an understatement. As the high school senior and his mother, Cathy, waited outside the Academy Sports+Outdoors in Buford after the Bulldogs defeated TCU to win its second consecutive national championship late Monday night, Moore was dressed head to toe in red and black. He wore a Georgia beanie, Georgia sweatshirt and jacket as he waived a giant Georgia flag while waiting in the line to get in the store. He even wore red contact lenses for the occasion. Academy stores across the state of Georgia reopened late Monday night to sell UGA fans the first pieces of national championship gear as soon as the title game ended just before 11 p.m. Louis Bonora, the store director for Academy's Buford store estimated about 300 to 400 people showed up at that location alone between the time its doors reopened at 10:55 p.m. and the time the last customers filed out just after midnight. Fans who showed up late Monday night after the game were the first to snap up national championship shirts, sweatshirts, hats, beanies, drink cozies, pennants, car window stickers and lanyards. Moore and his mother were already on their way to the store before the game even ended. It wasn't their first time showing up at an Academy store immediately after a local team won a league title, however. It's something of a tradition for the family. They did it when UGA won this year's SEC title, last year's national championship, and when the Atlanta Braves won last year's World Series. Many other fans were similarly eager to wait in line late Monday night to get their championship gear. They were even more excited, however, by UGA's dominating 65-7 victory over TCU in the national title game and the fact that the Bulldogs are back-to-back national champions. In honor of the University of Georgia's historic feat, Times-Journal, Inc. is publishing a commemorative championship edition with a special poster page, stories, highlights and photos from the national title game defeat of TCU. The edition will be available for purchase for $3 beginning on Wednesday at the Daily Post offices. Copies can also be ordered online Gwinnett County police announced on Monday that they have identified and arrested a suspect in the death of a woman who was killed last month at a south Gwinnett used car dealership where she worked. Master Police Officer Hideshi Valle said Lilburn resident Wesley Vickers  has been charged with felony murder, malice murder and aggravated assault in the death of Snellville resident Courtney Owens. Police arrested Vickers with help from the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office Fugitive Unit on Friday. Police have not yet released information on a possible motive for why Vickers allegedly killed Owens. Owens was shot and killed inside the used car dealership on Centerville Highway on December 9. At the time, police said they thought Owens or someone else at the business may have known the shooter, although they had not identified a suspect at that time. Vickers is being held in the Gwinnett County jail. A homeless person was taken to the hospital on Sunday after suffering from smoke inhalation outside a vacant home that was on fire. Gwinnett County Fire Capt. Ryan McGiboney said crews were called to the home near the intersection of Sterling Hill Drive and Towler Road at 2:59 a.m. One person who reported the fire to 9-1-1 told dispatchers that fire had begun spreading to the nearby woods. Firefighters arrived five minutes later and found the crawlspace of the home, which had been a single-family dwelling that had at some point been converted to a business, was on fire. They then found the homeless person near the building. Firefighters removed the plywood from the home's windows, which had been boarded up, to battle the flames before deploying several fire hoses. Crews got the fire under control at about 4:09 a.m. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined, but the search crews that went into the building after the fire determined it was vacant. Chloe Brothers broke the Gwinnett County six-dive record Saturday, highlighting Brookwood's sweep of rival Parkview in swimming and diving. The Broncos completed an unbeaten regular season under new head coach Willie Hildebrand, and retained the Battle of Five Forks Trophy with victories in the overall points competition, as well as wins in both the boys and girls divisions. The boys won 264-194, while the girls posted a dominant 311-142 victory. Brothers' girls county record was 314.90 points to break the old mark of 305.55, set in 2011 by Duluth's Sarah Haliburton. Brothers also broke the county 11-dive record earlier this season. In addition to Brothers' victory, Hailey Dopson won two events for the Brookwood girls — the 200-yard freestyle and the 100 backstroke. The other Bronco girls who won individual events were Addison Curtis, Sophie Hamilton, Mary Kate Weitzel and Cameron Pritchett . Both Kyler Heffner and Nolan Patterson were double-winners for the Brookwood boys. Heffner was first in the 200 free and 100 fly ,and Patterson won the 50 and 100 free. Teammate Baylor Stanton took first in the 100 breaststroke in 58.82, and Ethan Walker gave the Broncos a win in boys diving. Parkview was led by a pair of double-winners, Landon Plumlee on the boys side and Hannah-Claire Jowers on the girls side. Plumlee was first in the 200 IM and 500 free, and Jowers won the 100 free) and the 100 breast. The Panthers' Jack Dunbar was first in the 100 back at 52.07.  Georgia officials expect the state will receive more than $181 million after joining national settlements with four companies over allegations they contributed to the opioid crisis. The Peach State will use the money from Allergan, CVS, Teva and Walgreens to help fund treatment, prevention, reduction and recovery initiatives. CVS and Walgreens were not defendants in Georgia's ongoing litigation against opioid distributors, though Teva and Allergan were named in the state's action targeting opioid manufacturers. According to Georgia officials, CVS and Walgreens proactively approached the state with settlement offers. Walgreens will make a $58.7 million base payment to the state, CVS will pay $50.1 million, Teva will hand over $44.9 million, and Allergan will pay $27.4 million. CVS will pay $5 billion nationally, while Walgreens will hand over $5.7 billion. Teva will pay more than $4.25 billion nationally, while Allergan will distribute more than $2.3 billion. Georgia joined the settlements with Teva and Allergan on December 19 and the settlements with CVS and Walgreens on December 21. Local governments have 90 days from when the state joined the settlements to join. Three Gwinnett County players and two local coaches participated in the prestigious All-American Bowl over the weekend. Those five helped the East to a 55-17 victory in the annual high school football showcase televised by NBC. Mill Creek grad Caleb Downs, Buford grad Justice Haynes and Grayson grad Michael Daugherty played for the East, while the coaching staff included Buford head coach Bryant Appling and Meadowcreek head coach Todd Wofford. Haynes rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown, and Downs had an interception. Caleb Downs is a 5 star safety signed to play for the University of Alabama. Justice Haynes is a 5 star running back, also signed to go to Alabama. And Michael Daugherty is a 4 star safety, who is signed to go play for LSU.     For advertising inquiries, please email j.southerland@bgadgroup.com For more information be sure to visit www.bgpodcastnetwork.com   https://www.lawrencevillega.org/  https://www.foxtheatre.org/  https://guideinc.org/  https://www.psponline.com/  https://www.kiamallofga.com/  https://www.milb.com/gwinnett  https://www.fernbankmuseum.org/        .                  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gwinnett County police are looking for a woman accused of robbing one bank and trying to rob another one in mid-December. Arrest warrants have been taken out against Janae Samantha Fareaux according to Corporal Ryan Winderweedle. Fareaux is accused of going to a Wells Fago off of Killian Hill Road in unincorporated Lilburn on December 14 and demanding that she be taken into the vault. Winderweedle said she left the bank without getting any money, however. A day later, Fareaux allegedly went to a Truist bank located off of Pleasant Hill Road in unincorporated Duluth and passed a note to a teller. She allegedly left Truist with more than $2,000. Winderweedle said Fareaux was wearing a long black wig, gray T-shirt over a long sleeve black shirt, black pants, black shoes and green socks the last tie she was seen. She may be driving a red or maroon 2019-2020 Hyundai Elantra. Anyone who has information about Fareaux's whereabouts is asked to call detectives or crime stoppers. Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward for tips that lead to arrest and indictment. North Gwinnett senior Marek Briley committed Sunday to the Georgia Bulldogs football program, accepting a preferred walk-on offer from the defending national champion. Briley, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound wide receiver, had 37 catches for 795 yards and eight touchdowns this season for North's state playoff team. Briley had division one offers from programs such as Stetson and Navy. He received his offer to be  a preferred walk-on for the Dawgs during his mid-December visit to Athens. As U.S. Representative Carolyn Bourdeaux's final days in Congress ticked away during the holidays, she highlighted one last batch of funding she was able to secure for the 7th Congressional District before leaving office. Bourdeaux, who leaves office this weekend, said the federal Fiscal Appropriations Bill that was passed by the House and sent to President Joe Biden in December included nearly $13 million for projects in her district. In all, 14 7th Congressional District projects were included in the appropriations bill. Some of those projects include money to expand transit in Gwinnett County, support work to convert the Hooper-Renwick School building in Lawrenceville into the Hooper-Renwick library branch and support efforts to help victims of sexual and domestic violence. This will be the last time that north Gwinnett and Forsyth County get funding allocations as part of the 7th Congressional District. Starting in 2023, Forsyth and parts of the Buford area will move to the 6th Congressional District while most of the northern half of Gwinnett will move to the 9th Congressional District. Meanwhile, part of north Fulton County and the part of Gwinnett County that is south of U.S. 78 will be added to the 7th Congressional district. A major chunk of the 7th Congressional District money included in the appropriations bill will support transit expansion in Gwinnett County. That funding includes $2 million for Gwinnett County Transit to establish microtransit service in the Buford and Suwanee area. Another $2 million was allocated to the county's transit system for bus shelters for a new Route 25 local bus service. Data shows Georgia is among the worst states for grade crossing crashes. According to Operation Lifesaver, citing preliminary 2021 Federal Railroad Administration statistics, Georgia had 132 grade crossing collisions with eight deaths and 37 injuries. The Peach State ranked behind Texas and California for the number of collisions. According to the Georgia Department of Transportation, in 2018-20, there were 283 crashes with 22 fatalities and 63 injuries at grade crossings in the state. Between 2018-20, 12.4% of all injuries and 5.3% of all fatalities occurred at grade crossings with gates. Jennie Glasgow, Operation Lifesaver's state coordinator for Georgia, told The Center Square it's not necessarily surprising the state nears the top of the list, considering it is one of the more populous states and is an important railroad state. The number of crashes in Georgia increased from an average of 81 in 2010-12 to 99 per year in 2017-19, even as the annual number of crashes during 2009-19 nationally stayed constant. Across Georgia, there are more than 5,000 railroad crossings. However, less than half — roughly 45.2% — have gates, while about 2.9% have flashing lights but no gates. The majority — roughly 51.9% — are so-called "passive" crossings, meaning they do not have flashing lights or gates. Lanier had good reason to throw in the towel. The Longhorns boys basketball team saw its seven-point lead over Scottsboro dwindle to two before halftime of the 31st Annual Deep South Classic Championship on Friday. They then surrendered back-to-back 3-pointers to open the third quarter, resulting in a four-point deficit. Some teams would panic. Others might fold entirely. Instead, the Longhorns dug in their heels. Lanier used a dominant third-quarter run to pull out a 61-56 win and secure the DSC title on Eddie Martin Court. Trailing 30-26 with 6:30 to go in the third quarter, Lanier turned up the dial defensively. The Longhorns made a concerted effort to apply pressure, close out on shooters and force up shots. On the other end of the court, the proverbial lid on the rim dissolved, allowing their own shots to float through the net at last. The result? A flurry of 14 unanswered points en route to a 20-2 run that flipped the game on its head. By the time the third-quarter game clock dipped inside the minute, the Longhorns had built up a 46-32 advantage. The run lasted five minutes of game time, but it was perfectly encapsulated by a sequence that took just 38 seconds to unfold. When Lanier junior Cameron Thornton's 3-pointer slipped through the net to retake the lead for his team, 5:10 remained on the clock. Just 20 seconds later, senior Landon Suarez stopped at the same spot on the court and knocked for a 3-point jumper of his own. The Wildcats marched down the court looking to answer, but junior Jayce Nathaniel elevated to block the shot at the 4:42 mark. The Longhorns wasted no time running the other in transition, putting the ball in the hands of Suarez, who once against connected from downtown to make it 37-30 with 4:32 to go. The 38-second sequence injected a jolt of energy into the Longhorns that ultimately carried them to victory.

People who live in northwest Gwinnett County will have a chance to get a year's worth of free pizza next week. A new Pizza Hut location, which is run by Flynn Restaurant Group, opened at 1550 Buford Highway in Buford on Dec. 23, but it's what the new store has planned for its grand opening festivities next week that will have tongues salivating. The first 25 customers who are in line at the store on Jan. 6 will get free pizza for a year. There are some limits on what pizzas qualify for the free pizza for a year, and what locations the pizzas can be picked up at. The deal is only valid at locations owned by Flynn Restaurant Group — which happens to be Pizza Hut's largest franchisee and which owns 10 other Pizza locations in Gwinnett County. In addition to the Buford location, Flynn Restaurant Group also owns locations in Sugar Hill, Suwanee, Auburn, Dacula, Duluth, Lawrenceville, Lilburn, Loganville, Norcross and Snellville. It also owns 15 other locations in metro Atlanta, including stores nearby cities such as Cumming, Flowery Branch, Hoschton and Alpharetta. Other limitations on the free pizza for a year offer customers only being able to use it to get two complimentary specialty pizzas or up to three topping large pizzas per month for a year, a limit of one pizza per party, it only being valid on carryout orders, and it only being valid on Thin N' Crispy, original pan and hand tossed crusts. The new store is expected to add 15 new jobs to the Buford and Sugar Hill area. Now in its seventh decade of delivering compelling performances all over the world, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre — recognized by Congress as a vital American “Cultural Ambassador to the World” — will make its return to Atlanta's Fabulous Fox Theatre for a series of shows in mid-February. Led by artistic director Robert Battle, the Ailey troupe will showcase premiers, new productions and repertory favorites for five performances February 16-19 as part of a 22-city North American tour. While each performance will feature different choreographed works — including pieces by Kyle Abraham, Jamar Roberts and Twyla Tharp — each presentation will conclude with the stirring Ailey-choregraphed “Revelations,” which made its debut in 1960 and has been seen by more people than any other modern dance work. Ailey's Fox Theatre residency begins at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 16 with Tharp's 1997 piece “Roy's Joys,” a new production of the 1986 production of “Survivors,” Ailey's tribute to Nelson and Winnie Mandela, and “Revelations.  Tickets, starting at $29, are available at the Fox Theatre box office at 660 Peachtree St., or by calling 855-285-8499 or visiting www.alvinailey.org or www.foxatltix.com. The arts in Gwinnett made great strides in 2022 to return to the pre-COVID world, where more than one nonprofit was overjoyed to find their doors still open. As a result, the vitality and pure joy of being back on stage or opening gallery doors was evident in the work art lovers could again absorb. Below are just a few of the highlights that made this writer smile in 2022. There were so many great performances, great exhibitions, great moments that it is hard to choose. Spring was an exciting time for Gwinnett performing arts groups and audiences. ♦ Live Arts Theatre has been nurturing and growing talent for many years. In March, their efforts were enhanced when LAT Actor Rodney Johnson won Best Performer for his work in the play “Sea Wall” at both the Southeastern Theatre Conference and the Georgia Theatre Conference. ♦ The Aurora Theatre was the venue April 2-3 when Atlanta's amazing “Dance Canvas” highlighted the work of seven emerging choreographers. Dance Canvas' Founder and Director, Angela Harris, has a special relationship with the Aurora, having danced in a number of their productions over the years. ♦ Spring was also celebrated by the joining of two of the Southeast's premiere Barber Shop Choruses. Gwinnett's lauded Stone Mountain Chorus and Atlanta Harmony Celebration joined their voices together in a concert at Mountain Park's United Methodist Church on May 21. ♦ Also in May, Duluth photographer Mary Buck traveled to Spain and returned with another treasure trove of images. Buck is known for her extraordinary photos of birds, whether taken in her own backyard or on the other side of the world. Art Beat columns of summer and early fall seemed to be full of young, talented Gwinnett dancers finding success. ♦ Rachael Graham was once a featured performer at Gwinnett Ballet Theatre. Since this summer, she has sported a number of tiaras, dancing and singing as Disney Princesses on their Cruise Line in the Caribbean. ♦ Dreams came true for another ex-Gwinnett Ballet dancer. Runako Campbell is living the dream in New York City where she has performed in a variety of shows, commercials, and with the Metropolitan Opera Ballet. ♦ The Hudgens Center is one of Gwinnett's treasured arts entities, and The Hudgens Prize is a great example of how philanthropy can lift emerging artists into the spotlight. This year's winner is sculptor Olu Amoda who received the Prize with its $50,000 cash gift in October. ♦ “The Lion in Winter” was presented in early December by Lionheart Theatre, directed by Brandi Kilgore. Taking on such a renowned and powerful work is a true artistic test and certainly a highlight of Lionheart's season. As 2022 comes to a close, one more young artist is spreading wings and flying into her future. ♦ By the new year, 10-year-old Lillian Sears, who has trained at Duluth's Atlanta Professional Dance Academy, will begin studying at the Paris Opera Ballet. She is the first North American to be accepted into the POB's six-month audition program. Dreams do come true. Here's to 2023! Grayson's girls basketball team defeated Archbishop Chapelle (La.) 58-22 Thursday in the championship game of the St. Pius Christmas Classic. The Rams went 3-0 in the tournament, improving to 10-4 on the season. Tatum Brown was named tournament MVP, and Samara Saunders earned a spot on the all-tournament team. The Rams are back at home Friday where they'll open the New Year with a game against Brookwood. Georgia saw its population increase by 1.7% between 2020 and 2022, new numbers from the Census Bureau show. As of July 1, Georgia's population stood at more than 10.9 million, up from about 10.7 million at the same time in 2020. The Peach State's neighbor to the south, Florida, saw its population increase at a higher rate of 3% during the same timeframe, Census numbers show. South Carolina (2.9%), North Carolina (2.4%) and Tennessee (1.8%) also grew more than the Peach State, though Georgia has a higher population than the three states. However, Georgia's growth outpaced that of Alabama, which saw its population increase by 0.9%.

We're about a month into the season in Georgia; in this episode I'll be going over some observations & developments from the action I've watched so far. There are numerous teams having success early on and a multitude of players performing at a high level in the Peach State. This episode starts with a brief rundown of team performance across classifications before moving onto player notes. After Christmas events the next few weeks, I'll be back to discuss those tournaments, and our player rankings will be updated following the New Year.

This week, we are excited to re-release an episode from the archives of Linch with a Leader to honor a legend in the State of Georgia and in the college football world. In his second episode ever published in Season 1 of the podcast, Mike Linch interviewed the late former University of Georgia Head Football Coach and Athletic Director Vince Dooley, who recently passed at the age of 90 at his home in Athens.Coach Dooley established his coaching legacy with the Georgia Bulldogs, compiling a record of 201-77-10, and winning a national title in the 1980 football season. During his 25 seasons as the head coach in Athens, he led the Bulldogs to 20 bowl games, coached 12 consensus All-Americans, and was named SEC Coach of the Year four times. In 1979, he was appointed as the Athletic Director, and saw the Bulldogs win 18 national championships and 75 SEC championships during that period.Coach Dooley was also instrumental in bringing collegiate football to Kennesaw State University, where he served as Chair of the Exploratory Committee which researched the feasibility of bringing the sport to the school. Additionally, he also partnered with Mascot Books to publish two children's books about the UGA mascot, How 'Bout Them Dawgs! and Hairy Dawg's Journey Through the Peach State. Dooley was also the chairman of the board of curators for the Georgia Historical Society from 2016 to 2018.In this episode, Mike Linch talks with Coach Dooley about, not only his coaching journey, but also some of the leadership lessons he learned on the football field. Coach Dooley also talks about the things he learned in his 50+ years of marriage to his wife, Barbara, and the role his faith has played in his journey through life.

Live from the no panic zone—I'm Steve Gruber—I am America's Voice— I am a man on a mission to make this nation better—and yes I am proud to say I believe in America First—   Here are three big things you need to know right now—   ONE— There will soon be far less big cats in the world—specifically Tigers and Lions—and you can thank Joe Biden and the Humane Society among others—I'll explain—   TWO— The Federal Reserve and its policies have put a big pinch on the availability of cash—especially to smaller banks and credit unions—what does it mean for us all—we will dig into that—   THREE— The loss by Herschel Walker in Georgia—really came as no surprise—in fact I predicted it—I told you if Donald Trump jumped in the race for the 2024 GOP nomination for President before the run-off there was almost no chance Herschel Walker could win—   I am not happy about it—BUT I was right—and honestly there was no reason for Trump to jump in back in November—he could have waited until now—and maybe he could have done it with Senator Elect Herschel Walker on the side with him—   But when Trump announced his intentions just over 3 weeks ago—it sucked the oxygen out of the room—and whether you like it or not—it energized the people that truly don't like the former President in Georgia—   Trump has never done as well in the Peach State with popularity as he has in pretty much every other state around and it showed again on Tuesday—   And here is the thing—Walker lost to Raphael Warnock by less than one point—so its pretty easy to conceive if Trump had called for party unity—and asked big name GOP Governors like Brian Kemp of Georgia, Ron DeSantis of Florida and Glenn Youngkin of Virginia to join him to rally for Walker—I believe that race could have turned out differently—its not a guarantee but it might have helped—   And lets be clear—Walker was not a great candidate—that brought plenty of baggage to the race—that also dragged him down with suburban women—the same ones that really do not like and will never like or vote for Trump—out to vote no on his hand picked candidate—   And look you can light up the message board—you can trash me and call me a RINO or a Never Trumper or say I'm not MAGA enough—go ahead—knock yourselves out—attack the messenger—try to rip me because I have the guts to tell you the truth—   And the truth right now—is that unless President Trump gets his act together—the chance of him winning the primary is getting smaller—muck less the chance of returning to the White House in 2 years—   And I am someone that has supported President Trumps policies every step of the way—I was worn out on occasion by some of his silly comments—BUT his policies for the most part were the best and most conservative of my lifetime—   He did more for America—and repelling the socialists and the bureaucrats and the enemies of The United States that live here more than anyone in my lifetime—   But right now—he is not on the right track and his support is waning in many places that he won by huge margins—AGAIN—you can lash out at me—BUT I am not here to be a fanboy or a cheerleader— I am here to tell you the truth about what is happening—and give a clear eyed assessment of what comes next—   I am actually surprised the Democrats are continuing to go after Trump at this point—I would think they'd drop all investigations and do everything they could to help him win the GOP nomination in 2024—I mean they all think they can beat him, no matter who runs—   Now, let me be clear, Donald Trump is not doing himself any favors right now in politics—and I am not sure he can right the ship after the inexcusable dinner guests he had recently—that was clearly a set-up—but he should never have been in that position—BUT again—let me be clear—NEVER bet against Donald Trump—and if he is the nominee in 2024—I will vote for him—I mean I will never vote for a socialist and I will support the guy who always fights for America—BUT unless things get on track and soon—I am not sure that is something I will need to worry about—   And you don't have to take it from me—how about hearing it from his biggest long-term supporters—  

All eyes on the Peach State as Herschel Walker and Raphael Warnock are neck and neck in their Senate runoff election. There are calls for investigations into the Arizona Governor's race as republicans claim there was voter suppression and collusion. These stories and more on this edition of the PAC-Man Podcast with Ted Flint.

Herschel Walker lost in the runoff for US Senate in Georgia. Peach State talk show host Erick Erickson breaks down the race: The Democrats now have majority control of the Senate, including its committees. I want to be very clear here — Herschel Walker did not need Donald Trump to win the GOP primary. He is, after all, Herschel Walker. Herschel Walker did not lose because of Trump, per se. But Herschel Walker would never have entered the race but for Donald Trump convincing him to run. No RNC Chair in the history of the whole party, beginning in 1856, has lasted as long as Ronna McDaniel without seeing at least one winning election season. The GOP has lost every election cycle since she took the job in 2017. ... At the national level, we have the 2018 loss, the 2020 loss, the 2021 runoff loss, the 2022 loss, and the 2022 runoff loss. So you're going to keep the losingest RNC Chair in the party's history? Ronna McDaniel has literally never had a winning election season as chair of the RNC. To put this in perspective, Ronna McDaniel, who has served since 2017, is the longest serving RNC Chair to never have seen a winning season. Her immediate predecessor, Reince Priebus, served longer than her and saw 2014 and 2016's winning seasons. No RNC Chair in the history of the whole party, beginning in 1856, has lasted as long as Ronna McDaniel without seeing at least one winning election season. The GOP has lost every election cycle since she took the job in 2017. Every Trump candidate except one lost in Georgia, and the one who won underperformed all the others who won. Also, the two journalists who are publicly releasing the Twitter Files were stunned to learn that the social media company's Deputy General Counsel who was "vetting" the documents was the same man at the heart of the FBI's Russia collusion hoax. IJR's Randy DeSoto explains: Journalist Bari Weiss — who along with Matt Taibbi, has been tapped by Twitter CEO Elon Musk to publicly release the “Twitter Files” — was shocked to learn the person in charge of the process within the company: Deputy General Counsel Jim Baker. He's not to be confused with the televangelist of the 1980s, but does have his own claim to fame as the former top lawyer at the FBI. The Washington Times reported that he served in that post for four years leaving in June 2020 to join Twitter. His time at the FBI was eventful, including very much being involved with the Russia hoax, which was the bureau's investigation into whether then-Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's campaign was colluding with the Kremlin to win the 2016 race. Special counsel Robert Mueller's team later concluded the Trump campaign did not collude with Russia. Baker came over to Twitter in time to get wrapped up in helping suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story just prior to the 2020 presidential election.          Get exclusive content here!: https://thepetekalinershow.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The MHP Broker's Tips and Tricks podcast, Maxwell Baker, president of The Mobile Home Park Broker, interviewed Lance Latham, president of the Alabama chapter of the Manufactured Housing Association. This is part of Max's informative series of podcast discussions with MHA leaders across the country.  This and every Tips and Tricks podcast episode are brought to you by The MHP Broker's'  proprietary Community Price Maximizer. Use this four-step system to get the highest price possible for your mobile home park or RV community when you sell it through The MHP Broker. Guaranteed. Ask Max for details.   Here Are the Show Highlights: Lance Latham has a political background as chief of staff for the Alabama legislature. He's been with the Alabama chapter of the Manufactured Homes Association (MHA) for the last six years, working his way up from deputy director to executive director. (Lance, 1:11) Alabama has 17 manufactured home plants. (Lance, 2:31) Alabama sells its manufactured homes throughout the southeast, in parts of the Midwest, and even near the Washington D.C. area. The market is now slowing slightly, but that's a good thing because it was so overheated for so long. (Lance, 2:34) An interesting phenomenon Max has noticed, through his sister company wholesaling used homes to mobile home communities, is that new homes are now priced even slightly lower than homes that are a year or two old, just on the basis of supply and demand. (Max, 3:15) Supply and labor shortages had driven pricing up for new homes during COVID, but these challenges are working themselves out and that's reducing costs. (Lance, 3:58) Today, used homes represent about one-third of manufactured home installations in Alabama. This includes both homeowners selling their own, and rent-to-own (RTO) options by community owners. (Lance, 4:28) The top major challenge being addressed by the Alabama MHA is the scarcity of younger home movers/installers. Most are in their sixties, and few are in their thirties. This raises the price of manufactured housing to make it beyond the budgets of many potential buyers. The Alabama MHA is tackling the problem by partnering with community colleges in the state. (Lance, 5:23 and 5:44) The MHA is developing a training and certification program－or “boot camp”－to graduate a core of knowledgeable and more affordable installers. (Lance, 6:25) That's a program that would also be a valuable add to the Georgia market, in that the absence of qualified movers/installers slows down the installation process and raises costs in the Peach State too. (Max, 6:55) It's costing manufacturers tens of millions of dollars (or more) to correct installation problems due to incompetence. This is a major complaint of homeowners, and one that can be solved with qualified, educated installers. (Lance, 8:01) The state started the program at Bevill State Community College in Sumiton, and has introduced it in additional community colleges throughout the state. (Lance, 9:11) With the price of site-built housing continuously rising, it's a great time to introduce new market audiences to the concept of manufactured housing, including demographics that might not have considered such housing before, and have no idea about the high-quality construction standards of today's manufactured homes. (Lance, 10:32 and 11:06) As a way of promoting that quality distinction, the Alabama MHA is conducting Promotions with the University of Alabama and Auburn University to pick contestants who can win a $75,000 down payment on a manufactured home. (Lance, 11:35) The Alabama chapter is also making a point to educate local zoning board members and city counselors on the quality of the homes as a way to address their concerns for new communities without establishing adversarial relationships. (Lance, 12:08) Alabama park owners can join the state's chapter of the Manufactured Housing Association by checking out the website at alamha.org. Contact Linda Drumheller, the chapter's director of member services. Membership costs $75 per location per year. Benefits include guidance on and samples of lease agreements and pet policy language, marketing guidance to help park owners get residents, statistical information regarding installations, sales and other valuable data, and other benefits. (Lance, 20:40 and 21:30) Reach out to Max to learn more about the accomplishments of MHA chapters and trends in the mobile home park industry. You'll also find out how to sell your property for the best possible price. Just drop Max a line at info@themhpbroker.com or give him a call at 678-932-0200. Power Quotes on This Episode: (On Alabama's leadership in building manufactured homes.) “Only Texas builds more homes than we do.” (Lance, 2:20) “We have a sister company called Mobile Home Wholesalers. We wholesale used  homes to park owner and we're noticing that the new home pricing is actually cheaper than the one- or two-year-old homes, as the pricing for used home is just, for some reason, still elevated. But, from what I've been seeing and hearing from some of the park owners, the new home pricing is finally starting to come down as the cost of  goods is starting to level out a little bit.” (Max, 3:15) “Used homes are about a third of the installations we see in the state.” (Lance, 4;28) (On problems with manufactured home installers.) “…it is both a quantity issue and a quality issue.” (Lance, 8:01) “...(installers) who are willing to go out and work and hustle for the business can pretty much write their own paychecks right now…there's a lot of money to be made if you're willing to do the work…” (Lance, 10:10) “I think there's a lot of first-time homeowners, a lot of young couples, for example, a lot of retiring couples who want to downsize, who might not have ever thought about a manufactured home, but with the market being the way it is right now, I think they might start looking at us. I think that we need to be ready to kind of meet that need.” (Lance,11:06) “Our biggest political issue tends to be zoning problems.” (Lance, 11:38) “...the greatest compliment I've ever received in this job was when somebody on Facebook accused us of false advertising because they didn't believe the picture, (that) the home was an actual manufactured home.” (Lance, 13:35)

States are still counting votes. The balance of power in the Senate is still up for grabs, but that doesn't mean we can talk about the day that was: Election Day 2022. The Virginia races are settled. The VA GOP grabbed one congressional pick-up in the 2nd District, but Dems held onto a highly contested seat in the 7th and a challenge in the 10th. The predicted red wave was more like a drip. President Biden is celebrating not getting punched in the face by the American people, Former-President Trump seems to be punching everyone, and Herchel Walker's political career is (somehow) still alive in the Peach State. Cheats discusses this all with Jewel Jordan, Taikien Cooper, and Allan-Charles Chipman, on the live-stream edition of the Cheats Movement Podcast on the Family Podcast Network.

We definitely have Georgia on our minds here at Playbook. The Senate race in the Peach State — pitting Sen. Raphael Warnock against football legend Herschel Walker — is likely the most consequential Senate race on the map this year. Early voting begins today. There's nothing better as a reporter than getting out of the swamp to see what voters are thinking and saying for yourself — so Playbook's Eugene Daniels headed to Atlanta for a check-in. In a special episode of Playbook Daily Briefing, Eugene chats with Playbook Deputy Editor Zack Stanton about what he found. There's a sense that the scandal-ridden Walker is sucking up all the political oxygen in the state. Even Warnock campaign aides admit surprise when reporters call to talk about the sitting senator and not about Walker's travails. In a story out this morning, Eugene explores how Warnock is a man in two worlds. At Ebenezer, no one calls him “senator.” It's “reverend,” and members of his flock will correct you immediately. But while he enjoys a deep connection with his congregation, some Black political strategists worry that Warnock has not yet secured the broad support he'll need from Black voters to earn a full term.

On today's Breitbart News Daily podcast, Grammy-winning fashion billionaire Kanye West broke the internet telling Tucker Carlson he's pro-life and the fact that more black babies are being aborted than born alive is massive scandal in America, the media has a godless agenda, and Donald Trump was a great president. Elsewhere, fentanyl could be classified as a weapon of mass destruction, Hunter Biden could see significant jail time, more unbelievable signs of a potential Red Wave, and record voting in Georgia has Stacey Abrams looking more desperate than ever in her second race for Governor in the Peach State. Our guest is Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood Clinic Director and Pro-Life Activist and CEO of “And Then There Were None Ministry.” Abby says Planned Parenthood mobile abortion clinics and the DOJ kicking in doors, drawing guns on children, and charging pro-life activists for sit-in at a Tennessee abortion clinic are the latest signs of Pres. Joe Biden weaponizing the DOJ/FBI against pro-life Americans.

Professor of Business and Economics at The King's College in New York City Brian Brenberg joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to talk about how the Biden administration's disastrous economic policies are forcing some people to look for extra work just to make ends meet. Jimmy shares his thoughts on President Biden once again shamelessly deflecting blame on gas prices in order to protect himself politically. PLUS, Republican candidate for Senate in Georgia Herschel Walker discusses what inspired him to run for office, and why the people of the Peach State are fed up with Raphael Warnock's radical policies.   [00:00:00] Biden continues to lie about gas prices [00:38:19] Americans are struggling to combat inflation [00:56:43] Brian Brenberg [01:15:06] Update on the Georgia Senate race [01:33:34] Herschel Walker   Learn more about your ad choices.

On this podcast, Dave DiSalvo, executive director of the Valdosta-Lowndes County Tourism Authority, shares why Valdosta is more than a convenient I-75 stop for gas, food, and an overnight stay. A native of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, DiSalvo arrived in Valdosta in 2021 and was pleased to find a community that shares his passion for tourism.With Georgia on their minds, last year, more than 159 million domestic and international people visited and spent $34.4 billion in the Peach State. In addition, Georgia's tourism and travel industry generated a total economic impact of $64.5 billion and supported more than 422,600 jobs. Located on the Georgia-Florida border, Lowndes County received an economic boost from the state's tourism boom with a $389.4 million economic impact, up from $350.3 million in 2019. Where did visitors spend their money in Lowndes County? Food Beverage: $122.5 million Lodging: $77.9 millionRetail: $66 millionRecreation: $63.4 millionTransportation: $59.6 millionLooking at South Georgia's bigger tourism picture, DiSalvo shared economic data from the 2021 Georgia Day Travel USA Visitor Profile produced by Longwoods International. The in-depth report examines state and regional numbers for domestic visitors and profile data that includes expenditures, trip purpose, seasonality, origins, activities, and demographics.While the visitor profile numbers represent the entire South Georgia region, DiSalvo said part of Visit Valdosta's marketing strategy will include a deeper dive into specific Lowndes County numbers."We talk about tourism in Lowndes County and Valdosta and are very fortunate. Not only do we have downtown [Valdosta], but we have Hahira downtown, and quite frankly, we need to look at the regional opportunities," he said. "If someone goes shopping and spends the dayin Thomasville, as long as they come back and have dinner and spend the night in Valdosta, that's a win for all of us. It creates that regional reach we would love to have as part of tourism."  Focused on the thousands of visitors that come annually to Wild Adventures Theme Park, DiSalvo said the goal is to get people to spend a second night in Valdosta.Along with the hub activity in Downtown Valdosta, including the new Unity Park Amphitheater, DeSalvo said Valdosta has a lot of “tourism drivers” like family fun at Recoil Trampoline Park, historical sites, arts and entertainment, golfing, tennis, and wakeboarding.   The Valdosta Tourism Authority recently announced the launch of its "Valdosta ahhh" campaign, which DiSalvo said is about "the experience, excitement, relaxation, anything you want it to be that 'ahhh' moment."A city with plenty of hidden treasures, Valdosta has lots of 'ahhh' experiences, from roller coasters to dining and shopping, historical sites, outdoor recreational activities, and more. The campaign launched in August and will feature people sharing their "Valdosta ahhh" moments on social media. "What better way to help sell it than to have someone who has already experienced it," he said. "We have great opportunities to create those moments and unique experiences." Find out more at Visit Valdosta.

Director – Research & Communications Katie Fidler with St. Bourke joins the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to talk about land development post-COVID, popular community amenities and build-to-rent. Fidler joins host Carol Morgan on the All About Real Estate segment. A native Atlantan, Fidler has lived in the Peach State her entire life and has been actively participating in the Atlanta real estate market for over 10 years. She graduated from the University of Georgia in 2011 and has held various positions throughout her career, from commercial and office leasing to investment and development. An asset management and development company, St. Bourke is headquartered in Atlanta and serves as a one-stop shop for all asset management and development needs. The company's services cover the full gamut, starting with the project's funding, due diligence and acquisition to planning and development to the very end with ongoing place management. Fidler said, “We really complete that full cycle. We are experts in value engineering, unlocking hidden value, problem-solving, troublesome sites [and much more!] We like to come in and reinvigorate them and breathe new life into them.” Founded in 2005, St. Bourke is associated with an international investment firm that entered the United States market shortly after the Great Recession. The firm acquired a considerable property portfolio and ran across issues coordinating multiple teams in various markets to manage those assets. Those teams were brought in-house to form what would eventually become St. Bourke. Click here to learn more about the founding of St. Bourke! The company has unique origins and views each project through an investment lens, forging a niche for St. Bourke in a market undergoing incredible change. How the company approaches development paired with it suite of services sets it apart from the competition in the eyes of its clients. Fidler said, “We do have a lot of investor clients, homebuilders, banks, private property owners – we serve many different segments of the market but certainly investment firms and homebuilders are our top two.” Following the slowdown of the pandemic, costs and the importance of keeping costs down is more prevalent than ever before. St. Bourke has always set about planning and value engineering every site. With increasing land prices and tighter builder margins, the company is searching for ways to thoughtfully and creatively bring prices down to deliver affordable homes. Another change Fidler noted is the noticeable ramp-up of construction and residential development further from the urban core.

Liz Cheney's congressional career is likely over, after Wyoming voters sent her to defeat in last night's Republican primary. The ardent conservative was among the most aggressive members of Congress attempting to hold former President Trump to account for his actions ... and it likely cost her a job. We'll go to Wyoming for the latest. But while she'll be leaving the House, could Cheney still have a career in politics? Specifically, could she be a future presidential candidate in 2024? We'll go In Depth. And Rudy Giuliani, who finds himself the target of a criminal probe in Georgia, was in the Peach State this morning to testify in front of a grand jury ... investigating attempts to overturn that state's 2020 election results. After two tumultuous and sloppy years responding to the coronavirus pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control is headed for a makeover. We'll take a closer look at plans announced today for a revamping and reorganization of the CDC. Speaking of COVID, new research out of Cedars Sinai today shows that most people who were infected by the omicron variant probably never even knew they had it. And at the end of today's show: if someone were to ask you, "what's the healthier snack .... ice cream or a granola bar," you'd probably guess granola bar, right? Well you'd be wrong--it's ice cream.   A new tool from Tufts University ... called the Food Compass ... is revealing a lot of inconvenient truths about the nutritional value of what you're putting in your body.

For our last show before getting into football season, we take a quick trip around the state for a review of the past week in Georgia sports.

Welcome to the Peach State Press, talking sports from the Golden Isles beaches to the Appalachian Mountains and all the cities in between. Here we are, Georgia, from being a state who can't get it done to being on a little bit of a roll.

After finding himself inside the crosshairs of an investigation into attempts to overturn the 2020 election, Georgia state Sen. Burt Jones (R) successfully disqualified the prosecutor who announced that he was a "target." Jones may not have wide name recognition outside of Georgia, but he's currently running for lieutenant governor, the state's second highest executive branch post. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D), in what a Georgia judge described as a "What were you thinking" moment, attended the fundraiser of his rival. "This is not an invisible prosecution," Georgia appellate attorney Brandon Bullard — who is intimately familiar with the Peach State's laws and politics — noted . "Every step is going to be scrutinized and to think that this wasn't going to matter: It's a lapse — at least a lapse in awareness — if not a lapse of judgment." In the latest episode, Bullard helps unpack what's next for the Fulton County DA's investigation. He also explains that while this is a loss for the prosecutor, it may also be a blessing in disguise for the integrity of the case that she is building.SUBSCRIBE TO OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Court JunkieObjectionsThey Walk Among AmericaCoptales and CocktailsSpeaking FreelyLAW&CRIME NETWORK SOCIAL MEDIA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lawandcrime/Twitter: https://twitter.com/LawCrimeNetworkFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawandcrimeTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/lawandcrimenetworkTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lawandcrimeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, Alan, Quinta, and Scott got together for another early morning session to hash through the week's big national security news, including: “Stuck in the Middle (East) with You.” As President Biden ends his trip to the Middle East having re-engaged the Gulf countries and recommitted to preventing Iran from securing a nuclear weapon—including by force, if necessary—Russian President Vladimir Putin is kicking off his own visit to deepen ties with Tehran and negotiate with Turkey. What does this mean for regional security, the lagging Iran nuclear talks, and the U.S. pivot to Asia?“Qualified Incredulity.” The Justice Department has finally weighed in on former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows's arguments that executive privilege prevents the Jan. 6 committee from compelling his testimony. And while it didn't back his position, it was more friendly to his general position than one might expect. What should we make of its approach?“Georgia on My ASS.” Prosecutors from the Peach State are proving a lot less cautious about investigating misconduct following the 2020 elections than the Justice Department, to the point that they may soon begin indicting associates of President Trump. What explains this different approach and where might it lead? As for object lessons, Alan recommended a New Yorker article on "The Haves and the Have Yachts." Quinta endorsed a recent episode of Radiolab on the fascinating human story behind the famous Daubert legal standard. And Scott encouraged independent film fans to check out the work of his friends at The Sac Chich Project, an independent film collective, and consider lending them some support.

Charlie breaks down new internal polling from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) that reveals Congressional Democrats are trailing Republicans on the generic ballot in battleground districts by 8 points. What are the details and what does this mean for once solidly blue districts and for the congressional races coming in November? Also, who is more hurtful and more helpful to Democrat prospects in the midterms? Kamala or Biden? Next, Charlie has a good laugh at a former president's expense who either said something he didn't mean or something he didn't mean to say. Finally, Charlie interviews for Georgia Senator David Purdue who is the midst of a tough primary election against incumbent Governor Brian Kemp for control of the Peach State. Sen. Purdue lays out his case for why he should never have been running in this race to begin with, and why he is the candidate to take on Stacy Abrams in the coming general election. Visit https://voteperdue.com to get behind his important campaign to unseat the weak Brian Kemp.  Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/support See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
