As the primary election results in Georgia came in on May 20, Republicans in Washington, D.C., heaved a collective sigh of relief.
As they watched Georgia’s Republican primary election in progress, they were haunted by flashbacks of lost opportunities in the past when weaker challengers defeated stronger potential Republican nominees only to then lose to Democrats in the general election.
As the money continues to roll in for the 2014 Georgia senatorial and gubernatorial candidates, Georgia media outlets must be smiling big. At the end of the day, most contenders and independent expenditure committees will use that money to either promote or attack candidates in the 2014 elections.

I wonder how many Americans have ever heard of our “National Freedom Day?” National Freedom Day remembers the day Abraham Lincoln signed a resolution for the United States Constitution’s 13th amendment in order to abolish slavery, February 1, 1865. This amendment was quickly ratified on December … Read more...
Tribune columnist Roger Hines’ recent column regarding the teaching of evolution as fact, not theory piqued my interest. Why, I ask, do two highly professional groups, the scientific and the religious communities, continue at logger-heads over this issue. While the “law of evolution” is real, we all see it in operation daily, there is no connection between the ‘proven law of evolution’ and ‘the prominent theory’ … Read more...
Monday is a national holiday created to remember the life and death of Dr. Martin Luther King. King’s life changed America and his assassination in 1968 stirred America as America had not been stirred since the Civil War, a war that was suppose to remove the shackles of slavery in America.
