A recent spate of criminal activity in one of Atlanta's wealthiest enclaves has rattled residents, fueled frustration over police protection, and given oxygen to a nearly shuttered campaign seeking secession from Georgia's largest city. In the past two weeks, there have been multiple shootings and other crimes committed in the tony area of Buckhead. On Friday, a man accused of trespassing at a luxury apartment building was taken to the hospital after being shot by a maintenance worker following an argument, Atlanta police spokesman Officer Steve Avery said. The man was allegedly loitering in the building's parking deck when he

I'm not surprised. Have a sister in law that lived in Buckhead at one time. She still believes CNN is accurate news. Voted hard core turbo-liberal. No wonder these folks are stunned and surprised. Many have voted for generations for fascist goobernment.

Transplanted liberals in Butthead moved there because crime was low and quality of life was high owing to the high cost of housing, but their tax dollars fund a failed bLACK-run city (yes, an oxymoron) and in exchange, there's no money for adequate policing when the Diversity travels to their neighborhood to do their thang. The obvious move would be to secede and form their own city, with their own city services and schools, but then the transplanted liberals would wonder if they'd be called racists. Quite the bind, and a real drag for the old-time residents stuck in the middle.

Better to have a gun in the hand than a dispatcher on the phone. Especially when the police are understaffed....intentionally. I'm training a small class of women to shoot. They have figured it out. One is unmarried, another a recent widow, others married. More people need to realize that the police often cannot be there when you need them, even in a town with good policing. In Dem crime-holes...way worse.

Social media users have criticized former President Barack Obama for not passing legislation to codify abortion rights into federal following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn two landmark abortion rulings. Obama, a Democrat who served as president from 2009 to 2017, took to Twitter on Friday in response to the Court's decision to overturn 1973's Roe v. Wade and 1992's Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which had found a woman's right to abortion was constitutionally protected. (Snip) "The Dems refused to Codify Roe even when they had the power to," wrote screenwriter Thomas Cunningham.

Schoolteachers at an Oregon elementary school claim that eye-rolling directed at the principal is a form of aggression 'rooted in white supremacy.' BIPOC teachers at Errol Hassell Elementary school sent an email to school administrators on May 27 after hearing that their principal, Cynthia Lam Moffett, may be removed from her position, Fox News reports. BIPOC stands for black, indigenous, and people of color. "We believe that much of the resistance to Principal Moffett’s work… is a result of bias and targeted aggression. As BIPOC educators we have observed, experienced, and witnessed similar micro and macro aggressions,' the teachers said

A new front in tensions between Russia and NATO has opened up after one of the Western military alliance’s members, Lithuania, banned the transit of some goods coming from Russia to its exclave Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea.

The downtown Minneapolis Target store is making changes to the building to address safety concerns and encourage more shoppers to come inside.

ATLANTA, Ga. - Democratic candidates endorsed by gubernatorial hopeful Stacey Abrams won their runoffs on Tuesday, while two of former President Donald Trump’s preferred contenders lost their congressional GOP bids. Abrams now has a unified ticket of down-ballot candidates to support her bid to unseat incumbent GOP Gov. Brian Kemp on Nov. 8. Here are the results of the Democratic statewide runoffs: Lieutenant governor’s runoff Attorney Charlie Bailey defeated former congressman and Atlanta city councilor Kwanza Hall, setting up a race against GOP nominee Burt Jones this fall. Jones, who has Trump’s endorsement, won a crowded GOP primary last month.

More than 21 million paper tax returns are still waiting for processing by the Internal Revenue Service, as the tax agency struggles to swiftly disburse refunds to American households, according to a watchdog report released on Wednesday. Most taxpayers file their returns electronically, but millions of others — disproportionately the elderly — still fill out their returns manually. National Taxpayer Advocate Erin Collins said in her report that the IRS backlog this year is 21.3 million paper returns, 7 percent more than the 20 million that were awaiting processing at the same time last year.

The Supreme Court of the United States voted to overturn Roe v. Wade Friday. Celebrities reacted to the decision via social media with Alyssa Milano saying it will have "deadly consequences" and Elizabeth Banks calling it "devastating news." "Today’s Supreme Court ruling overturning #RoeVsWade will have deadly consequences, with the harm falling hardest on people of color who already face disproportionate discrimination in our country and grapple with a severe maternal mortality crisis," Milano wrote. "Banning abortion will disproportionately impact people of color, LGBTQ+ communities, people struggling to make ends meet, young people, and those living in rural areas."

Democrats for years have been promoting the notion that Republicans are congenitally racist, regulur Bull Connors. It's the old Norman Rockwell painting of a little black girl clad in a white dress, being escorted by lawmen into a desegregating school in Mississippi, with foul racist graffiti and tomato stains on the wall behind her, that serves as their template for Republicans -- despite the fact that the people who opposed desegregation in the Deep South were Democrats. The stereotype they pin on Republicans does not stop. It's that of the jewel-bedecked rich lady sniffing up her nose, looking down at, and brushing aside the dreaded hoi polloi
