The Danger in Aurora Matters: Illegal Immigration is Chaos

Over the last week to ten days there have been numerous videos, images and posts on X (formerly Twitter) that catalogue the absolute terror happening in Aurora, Colorado, where a violent Venezuelan street gang called Tren de Aragua, or TdA, is actively taking over apartment buildings and forcing residents to pay them instead of the landlords of the complexes. This isn’t all though, other videos are showing the chaos involved in having these gangs in Aurora, like this one showing three young men walking through a parking lot filled with trash as gunfire rings out around them.

Judicial Emergency Extended and More Alarming Stories about Cobb County Superior Court Clerk’s Office

It’s just another day at the Cobb County Superior Court. Files are opening, cases are being heard and Chief Judge A. Gregory Poole issued an extension of his August 7, Judicial Emergency because Connie Taylor’s Cobb County Superior Court Clerk’s office still hasn’t gotten its act together.

“While the situation in the Clerk’s Office regarding document availability has improved, a significant backlog remains,” the press release says. “Some documents dating as far back as November 2023 remain unindexed. The Superior Court Clerk’s Office also continues to experience many of the issues listed in the Initial Notice. Specifically, issues regarding noticing, scheduling, and calendaring remain.”

Something is Wrong With Governor Kemp

The news has broken that republican governor Brian Kemp has turned against his own party members on the Georgia Board of Elections because of their efforts to restore election integrity in the Peach state.

To simplify (i.e. leaving Trump out of the equation):  

A new election reform rule passed last Monday by these members in a 3-2 party line vote is designed to reduce cheating, a goal every honorable board member should support. It’s a legitimate improvement to the system that increases accountability at the most local level, a no brainer that should not even be controversial. The rule is based on America’s Constitutional ONE CITIZEN, ONE VOTE idea and mandates that each precinct in Georgia – precincts are the places you go to vote in your neighborhood — must meet specific requirements when it comes to matching up the number of ballots cast with the number of “unique voter id’s” registered in that precinct. Without this rule, what EVEN is the point of voter registration?

Book Battles Become Contentious at Cobb School Board

Superintendent Chris Ragsdale of the Cobb County School District remains resolute in his stance that schools must protect students from exposure to sexually explicit content. As a Cobb elementary parent recently put it, “Schools aren’t telling parents how to parent; however, schools have a responsibility to make sure materials available to children are age-appropriate.”
Ragsdale clarified that the district is not banning books but is ensuring that sexually explicit content is not available to students. At the August school board meeting, Ragsdale went on to say, “Today, I’m updating our ongoing book review process,” The Cobb Superintendent continued, “We began this review after discovering sexually explicit and graphic content in our media centers. Recognizing our legal and moral obligation to protect students, we removed access to inappropriate materials.”

Superior Court Clerk Employee Turnover Responsible for Unnecessary Warrants against Citizens

Something just doesn’t seem right at Cobb County Superior Court Clerk Connie Taylor’s office. After Chief Judge Poole issued the Notice of Judicial Emergency on August 7, the story was top of mind for about a minute and then the news cycle moved on to other things.

But as we mentioned in our last article, these issues at the clerk’s office have been long standing and brutal for the entire Cobb County judicial system. So brutal, in fact, that Judge Robert D. Leonard II, who currently presides over the Veterans Accountability and Treatment Court, has publicly denounced the chaos that has led to the crippling of the entire Cobb County court system.

Opinion: Most Radical Ticket in U.S. History

Socialism is an ideology in which select elites hold all the cards of society for the sake of what they deem “equality” and “human decency”. Socialism aims to control the means of production, distribution and exchange under the guise of making it fair for all – never allowing one person to do better than another…except, obviously, those who are in control of it.

Socialism wants you to own nothing and be happy.

That’s why it’s extremely concerning that the new Vice Presidential pick for the Democrat ticket, Tim Walz, said just a week or so ago that “…one man’s socialism is another man’s neighborliness.” No, no it isn’t Mr. Walz.

Keeping Score In Cobb Campaigns: State House District 42 (Smyrna, Marietta, Vinings)

Republican House District 42 candidate Diane Jackson has been seen at a few events lately extolling her campaign using the campaign message that she is not a socialist, unlike her self-proclaimed socialist opponent, Gabriel Sanchez.  The GOP candidate, Jackson, seems to clearly understand that this is a David and Goliath race that weighs heavily against her eventual electoral success. Still, she trudges on, pointing out that a Sanchez victory would be the first elected socialist in Cobb County’s history.
