Less than a 5 minute walk from @sodowntownatl to the State Capitol! Three blocks is the only thing between legislators and El Tesoro tacos!

Great job by @ajc on the autopsy of an effectively moribund ATL OIG. Seems pretty clear AD doesn’t want to an active, aggressive IG. That $500k to a non-profit and $2m to a woodworkers’ group both have a bad odor.

Early Voting starts today in my race for Lawrenceville City Council. Good time to remind voters that, after spending 4 years watching the lack of original ideas from my opponent, the city’s mayor took rare step of endorsing me over a sitting councilman. youtu.be/CtxdQALCpOQ?si=onOZ…

This is a sad day- and a heavy one. WAGA’s investigative unit didn’t just report stories; it set the standard for Atlanta journalism. It held the powerful accountable and gave a voice to the voiceless. It will be greatly missed. Below is a promo from 1984.

30 years ago I had to meet a source. He told me to meet him at @MagicCity. I sat alone at the bar with a Coke for two hours waiting for him. I haven’t recovered yet. The things I heard and saw. The @jermainedupri documentary will be epic. But truth is stranger than any fiction!

I know Brant. He’s been an elected official, muckraker, and rabble rouser for years. I’ve talked to him about his plans for exposing government waste, which I did for nearly 40 years. I didn’t see this coming. But with the dilution of MSM everywhere, this could be a game changer
A Letter from Brant Meadows: Unleashing the Truth About DogeGeorgia
Hey there, fellow efficiency hounds! I’m writing today to clear the air and let the tail wag freely about who’s behind DogeGeorgia on the X platform. I’m Brant Meadows—a father, Christian, and farmer from Georgia. I’m no fame-chasing alpha; I’d rather stay a quiet pup in the pack. But recent events have turned me into a bit of a bogeyman, so it’s time to step out of the kennel and bark the truth.
I’m the one who kicked off this citizen-led pack, asking Grok AI how we could sniff out government efficiency. I’m not paid or backed by any political candidate, PAC, or campaign—no leash here! We don’t accept donations either; this is a pure grassroots howl. DogeGeorgia isn’t some fancy government kennel—it’s just a pack of Georgians (and now folks nationwide) barking for a state-level Department of Government Efficiency, inspired by Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s federal DOGE vision. We’re the *Dogs of Government Efficiency* (DOGE), and we’re digging up change one county at a time.
I didn’t build this alone—there’s a whole pack of brilliant folks who’ve helped shape this concept, and I’m wagging my tail in thanks to every one of them. In just over a week, we’ve unleashed over 70 @Doge X accounts across Georgia’s counties and cities, launched DogeGeorgia.org, and even snagged some notable followers. Want to join the pack and bark out your concerns? Hit us up at @DogeGeorgia on X or check out DogeGeorgia.org—we’re always looking for more dogs to dig in!
Folks have asked, “Brant, why are you doing this?” Simple: Georgia deserves better. I’m not getting a dime for this—no treats in my bowl—but I’d sure love my $4,122 back for my family. That’s the chunk of cash every Georgian household could see if we get a state DOGE rolling, returning efficiency to our tax dollars. I’ve seen the growls and grumbles online about who’s in or out of the pack. Listen up: we’re beyond petty snarls, personalities, or preferences. We’re a big-tent kennel—Republicans, Democrats, independents, anyone who wants government to stop chasing its tail and start running lean.
DogeGeorgia works from the bottom up, like a good farm dog digging for roots. I’ve heard whispers like, “I’m not joining ‘cause so-and-so’s in the pack.” Here’s the bone I’ll throw you: I can’t control who grabs an @Doge handle and starts barking. That’s the wild beauty of this movement—any mutt can join! So let’s not yap about who’s got the loudest howl; let’s focus on sniffing out waste and making Georgia’s government a lean, mean efficiency machine.

**Join the Pack: DOGE – Dogs of Government Efficiency**
– We’re a citizen-led crew chasing transparency and efficiency.
– We use Grok AI and X to dig into local government messes—think wasteful spending or hidden bones.
– Over 70 counties and cities have joined in just over a week, and we’re expanding from Georgia to a nationwide pack!
– Our big dream? A state Department of Government Efficiency, modeled after Trump and Musk’s DOGE.
**How to Join the Fun**
– Snag an X account like @DOGE[YourCityOrCounty] (e.g., @DOGECobbCounty).
– Ask Grok stuff like, “Where’s my town wasting cash?” and watch it fetch the facts.
– Post your findings on X, tag @DogeGeorgia, and nudge your local officials to listen up.
– Like, repost, and yap with the pack to keep the momentum growling.
Don’t have time to dig in? Take 10 secs and grab a free Doge Dog avatar for your X account and let your dog do the barking.
DM @DogeGeorgia for the scoop on getting started. We’re not lone wolves—we’re a pack, and the more paws on the ground, the louder our bark for change. Georgia’s growing fast, with over 70 accounts joining in just over a week, and now we’re howling nationwide. So grab your leash (or ditch it!) and let’s make government efficiency the top dog.
Yours in the chase,
Brant Meadows
Founder, DogeGeorgia

I am too. But don’t expect anything to challenge the verdict. Perhaps DNA may shed light on one of the girl’s murders.

Americans need to be heard. We want our children protected. Hold your elected officials accountable. What are they doing to protect school children? Post the results. Hold them accountable. Ask continuously what are you doing to keep our kids safe? If no answer, let voters know.

Guess who? Son of a Hamas leader leaving in luxury in Qatar with his dad and other Hamas leaders. Top three leaders reported wealth: 11 BILLION. They dine in luxury while their own people needlessly die and they do nothing to stop what THEY started.

WATCH
PIERS MORGAN vs. DOUGLAS MURRAY:
PIERS MORGAN: Do you not feel that something has to give here, that this has to get resolved somehow, and that the only way to do that is, as with all these situations, you have to eventually compromise in some way? The problem for Netanyahu is that people think he is completely incapable of offering Hxmas any compromise. Therefore, there is no deal. So the families of the hostages are still there, and hundreds of thousands of protesters in Israel are on the streets of Tel Aviv right now. They are of the firm belief that it's his own intractable position on this, which is not going to allow any kind of ceasefire to be achievable.
DOUGLAS MURRAY: But there it is again, if I can say so, Piers—it's the same thing. There’s this presumption that it’s Netanyahu who is uncompromising. We end up with this notion because Netanyahu is a democratically elected leader, so it’s assumed that some pressure can be brought to bear on him. In my view, it’s not Netanyahu who’s uncompromising—it’s Hxmas. They could have handed back the hostages last October. They could have chosen not to do any of this.
I mean, they could have tried to build a state since 2005 when Israel withdrew from Gaza and handed the place over to them. Hxmas could have used the billions of dollars in aid that British, European, and American taxpayers gave them since 2006. They could have used that money to build up Gaza, to create a thriving, prosperous society. They could have made it a booming Mediterranean paradise. They could have created wealth for their people, but instead, what did they do?
They built downwards instead of upwards. They constructed a tunnel network bigger than the London Underground, and they siphoned off the money, just like Yasser Arafat did before them, making themselves rich. Why is Ismail Haniyeh worth billions of dollars? Why is Khaled Meshaal worth billions? Why do their children live like princes in luxury apartments in Doha?
Because they took the money from Americans, Brits, and Europeans and kept it for themselves, while leaving the people of Gaza in misery and poverty. Since 2005, there has been a complete counterfactual of what could have happened, but the Hxmas leadership didn’t want that. They’ve openly said they’re willing to use Palestinian children as human shields to manipulate world opinion. These are fanatics. They’re willing to sacrifice their own citizens to turn the world against Israel.
Again, how do you negotiate with that? The assumption in the West today is that because we’re so comfortable, we believe peace is the norm and historically expected. But that’s not true. We always think wars end with compromise and coming to the table, to use the cliché. But historically, most wars end because one side wins, and one side loses.
And one of the reasons, in my view, why there are endless rounds of conflict in this region is because Israel is never allowed to win, and Hxmas is always allowed to come out even. I think that simply sets up the next round of conflict. If Hxmas comes out of this with any fighting capability, then we will see another round of this war in a few years. So when David Lammy and others say we need a peace deal, I’d ask, on what terms? Everyone wants peace—except for Hxmas and the fanatics.
Everyone else wants peace. All those people in the south, the kibbutzniks, the partygoers, and others who were murdered on October 7—they all dreamed of peace with their Palestinian neighbors, their brothers and sisters. Who made that peace impossible? Hxmas, from 2005 to today.

Watched the sentencing of 4 time Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine in federal court. Despite passionate arguments by his lawyers @DrewFindling and Marissa Goldberg, Judge Steve Jones gave him 3 years 6 months for his role in a health care fraud case. Plus huge restitution
