It’s over. IT IS ALMOST OVER. (The Legislative Session, I mean).

“Springtime” by Ian Tyson. 

  1. John Lewis brags of his F rating from the NRA. 
  2. So does Stacey Abrams. 
  3. Sanford Bishop is apparently one of just four congressional Democrats who gets money from the NRA. 
  4. Atlanta was warned about the cyberattacks last year. 
  5. Our rental rates are increasing faster than just about anywhere else but at least plenty of markets remain more expensive. 
  6. How Sonny is remaking the USDA.

    Qualifying is over for Sanford Bishops race, isn’t it? If so, no one stepped up to challenge him for the primary.
    Maybe voters in that district can pressure him to renounce NRA money.

      Hey, the NRA has to have a couple or three token Democrats to claim that they are still bipartisan. [/sarc]
      In the 2016 Congressional election cycle 98.4% of their money went to Republican candidates. They have devolved to being just another Republican PAC funded in part by foreign owned gun manufacturers (they admitted to receiving foreign money yesterday but claim none was used for election spending, shuuurrre). Yet certain parties on the old site jumped on me when I upheld the view that the Douglas County poll manager was correct in having a NRA hat wearer remove his political advertisement at the polls.

    Thesis of article; If Trump wins the trade/manufacturing war, the USA would lose the tech/AI war and the future.

      I appreciate the one sentence summary even if this time I lacked the time to read in full.

    • Dave Bearse

      That second sentence pretty much precludes Trump from making any deals with any foreign heads of state.

    Good grief, what a sorry state of affairs! I don’t work for the City and don’t know anyone who does, but Atlanta’s IT department need to be fully staffed with employees who are on their toes, current in the latest technology, and paid the market rate. And risk management needs to become a top priority!
