Erick, the emperor has no clothes. I am feeling very discouraged about the future of our country with him in charge. He lies so often you never know when he’s telling the truth. He treats us like we’re idiots. He runs on whims and ego. How in the world are we going to survive this?
Good Morning People I just hope that we can join together as a republicans and back the candidates that we have and Please stop nit picking arguing about the Past and acting like Children come together and vote to keep the dems out and turn our state back to Red State God Bless America
"We get the government we deserve." I did a little digging and learned that the state of Georgia has over 8 million registered voters. Last night, over a million voted in the statewide runoff. Seems like a lot, right? But you do the math. It's true, these sort of elections get historically low numbers, but we're gonna have to really bring it in the fall, if we want to keep KLB out of the governor's mansion.
The real winner last night are people who get a few months reprieve from attack ads. I thought Jackson would lose because his attack ads sort of made him look bad. Shows what I know. Either candidate looks like George Washington compared to Bottoms, the most aptly named former Mayor of Atlanta. The bottoms is exactly where GA would go if she were elected Gov.
Why id Keisha Lance Bottoms vowing to fund Pre-K in Georgia when that was done years ago under the bill by Zell Miller under the Lottery funding program. People can go now to https://georgia.gov/enroll-child-pre-k and sign up for this fall.
Interesting. Unless it gets strengthened a lot in the final negotiations, this deal will be worse than Obama's. And getting it will have cost us $34 billion in military expense and $300 billion in bribe money.
I have a problem committing another country to its contents when that country- Israel- didn't see the text in advance nor her country's representatives debate nor affix their signatures (I can say that latter part applies to us, as well).
Besides, Lebanon is not a colony of Iran's as Israel is not ours. Plus, fighting Hezbollah existed long before the actions in Iran who is protecting her strongest proxy from continuing to get its butt whupped.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States, TOGETHER WITH THEIR ALLIES IN THE CURRENT WAR declare upon the signing of this Memorandum of Understanding an immediate and permanent end to the war on all fronts, INCLUDING LEBANON, and undertake that from now on they will not launch any hostile action against each other, and will refrain from the threat or use of force against each other. "
I obviously have. I also know that the Israeli government has not been given a copy of the MOU, but you want everyone to believe a newspaper does. All you are doing is spreading gossip, feeding the anti-U.S. trolls that inhabit this website. You consider it a slight on your character if you wish, but instead of engaging in unsubstantiated gossip, why do you not wait until the official word is released?
ERick Can you address or ask your more moderate democrat friends why the dems have allowed the Democratic Socialist Party access to their party's state structures and funds? In my mind the only way for dems to move to the middle is to treat the Democratic Socialists as a third party and not as just another democrat. It is my understanding that if one is running under a DSA banner in any race, the candidate has to take a vow to represent the DSA values not the traditional dems. This is also very bad for the Blue no matter who crowd. The DSA should have to go through each states process to get a new party's candidates on the state and city ballots. This reminds me of the case of the Cuckoo bird that over runs the nest built by another bird lays its eggs and eventually pushes the progeny of the original nest builder out of the nest.

Erick please explain. After the primary Jones was ahead. Then Jackson won yesterday. It was gloomy and rainy and very few voters at my polling place in East Cobb vs the primary when it was slammed. My politically involved Republican friend thinks Jackson is old, weak - after meeting him - and a secret Democrat. Seriously. He’s probably better for beating Bottoms (!) but I don’t like him. Georgia is not going to be as it was under Brian Kemp. I caught Neal Boortz saying: when you have all the money in the world what do you want- Power. That’s Jackson.
Barely any turnout in Cobb Tues I walked into empty bldg at 10 am, for primary day were a couple people but no wait at all then either. Jackson won because those that wanted something different showed up. No mystery there. Many bitch but few show up.
I hung up phone call, walked into the library, and was back in my truck less than 5 minutes after my phone said the call ended. Jones folks stayed home and now want to holler “stolen!”
Do you think Burt Jones is anything but rich? He was ahead after the primary because there were several other candidates to vote for. When they all fell off the ballot, their voters had only two to pick from, and enough of those voters knew about the spoon-fed nepo baby to vote for Jackson instead. Self made vs. Daddy’s Money. Not a hard choice.
My thing was I’ve lived here all my life I didn’t even know who Burt Jones was and he’s been in OFFICE eight years. Then the trump endorsement, I am not perpetuating the Trump syndrome in any OFFICE
6.6% of registered voters actually voted. We need to do better at getting out the vote. There are lots of reasons why, but Republicans have a difficult time voting for some reason.
I voted against generational wealth and the entitlement that came with it. I also voted against Trump's endorsements. Collins will lose to Osoff, who has developed a reputation as leaning moderate (or at least, not as far left as other Democrats).
If Jackson wants to win, he needs to acknowledge Trump without kowtowing. He needs to stay Georgia-centric at all times. He does NOT want Trump's endorsement. He needs to stick to his story, because that is the thing that sets him apart from the political class.
Additionally, Jones needs to be a cheerleader for Jackson. He may have lost, but not overwhelmingly. The Democrats will be united and loud for Bottoms. Jones can mitigate that by putting his time and effort into promoting Jackson.
That’s kinda sad that you chose to vote against something as opposed to for something. That’s what the progressives do. I agree that now the GOP should rally around the candidates that won the primaries and I agree that the MAGA thing will fade out when Trump is gone, but at the same time it has served the country well. And, I agree with Erick, Trumps picks at the State level have not been very effective. We should fight for something, not against something or we’ll wind up just like the Progressives and forget the people! And, without generational wealth, where does your money come from? How many poor people gave you jobs?
The Union County GA Dem Party has a billboard on this town's main drag saying, "Thank you Jon Ossoff" and showing a photo of a MRI scanner now at the county hospital, purportedly funded by government monies allocated by Ossoff. That kind of advertising is hard to overcome.
Burt Jones volunteered to be a fake elector in Trump criminal attempt to overthrow our government - Bye Felicia
Of course I wish the moron-mind behind that illegal conspiracy had ended up in prison vs. the Whitehouse again, but I'll take the small wins when I can get them.
Without knowing virtually anything about Jackson, I can now vote Jackson for Gov, and Osoff for senate and feel OK about my ballot.

Sadly, the only people we can count on to stand up against Trump's criminal nature are the Democrats.
Can’t really argue DJT definitely has a lot of people humping his leg
Your people.
The only time I have ever voted Democrat in my life was when the Republican was a convicted felon and insurrectionist.
You are a Democrat. A Leftist Democrat. You can claim anything you want, anonymous coward, but your posts give you away.
You just cannot stop lying, can you, Glen? I guess the MAGA apple does not fall far from the tree.
You are the liar. You lie about everything, while cowardly hiding behind anonymity.
Ideas have always mattered more than a Trump endorsement, but a great number of GOP voters failed to recognize that truth.
Truth seems really hard to come bye especially in politics

On yesterday's topic, here's the text of the MoA between us and Iran 😒:

Correct.

"
Hmmm. And yet, the MOU has not been released yet. Making up quotes, are we?
I don't make up anything... ever. I consider that suggestion as a slight on my character.
If I'm mistaken, that's one thing, but I'm VERY careful before I post stuff.
You obviously haven't clicked the link. When/If you do, there's a note at the top concerning its veracity.
Yes. The note says that the U.S. denies the claimed substance. Why are you bashing your own government with unsubstantiated gossip?
I obviously have. I also know that the Israeli government has not been given a copy of the MOU, but you want everyone to believe a newspaper does.

See the link above. Maybe real, maybe not, but I am betting real. We shall soon see.

That's a good idea. The Republicans should do the same with the MAGAs.

Mr. Erick: Do you subscribe to The Heidelblog? Here's a sample article from today's post, that speaks to an issue you've discussed before:
https://heidelblog.net/2026/06/these-are-not-illinois-nazis/
At this point, moving on from Trump can’t come soon enough.
I voted against generational wealth and the entitlement that came with it. I also voted against Trump's endorsements. Collins will lose to Osoff, who has developed a reputation as leaning moderate (or at least, not as far left as other Democrats).
If Jackson wants to win, he needs to acknowledge Trump without kowtowing. He needs to stay Georgia-centric at all times. He does NOT want Trump's endorsement. He needs to stick to his story, because that is the thing that sets him apart from the political class.

Ossoff is a tremendous retail politician.

You’ll have company. Josh McLaurin will likely get my vote for Lt. Gov, too.
Jackson donated to Liz Cheney's campaign after she voted to impeach Trump. That's all I needed to know. Glad he won.
I was not aware of that, but it makes me feel even better about voting for him.
I know that you are very opinionated. You’re smart. I get that.
Think big picture (you usually do).
But we have to go all in on Collins vs. Ossoff and Jackson vs Bottoms. Otherwise, we hit Bottom. 😔
Set the stage for post Trump. He’s killing us.
