Documentary filmmaker and former congressional candidate Jon Ossoff announced his candidacy for Senate in 2020 to challenge incumbent Republican David Perdue.
Ossoff became a Democratic wonderboy in 2017 when he ran in the special election for Georgia’s 6th Congressional District. Republican Karen Handel defeated him, 51.8% to 48.2%.
We recently highlighted the story of a professor who got into hot water for using this word while discussing the work of James Baldwin.

Georgia Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson announced this morning he will step down at the end of 2019 due to his battle with Parkinson’s disease.
People on social media brought up Stacey Abrams, but she immediately shot down the idea.
It has been nine months almost to the day since Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams ended her run for governor. On the night she acknowledged to Brian Kemp “will be certified as the victor,” she is still refusing to concede that election.
On Sunday, I wrote about Democrat state Rep. Erica Thomas walking back her statement that Cuban anti-Trump Democrat Eric Sparkes told her to “go back where she came from.” Since then, she has walked back her walk back and is insisting that he did say that.
Georgia State Rep. Erica Thomas (D) claims to have been “verbally assaulted” by a white man at a Publix and told to “go back where you came from.” Apparently, Thomas was in the 10 Items or Less lane, and Eric Sparkes didn’t like that and commented to her about it.
Thomas went...

In the fevered mind of actress turned political activist Alyssa Milano it makes perfect sense to advocate a #SexStrike to protest Georgia’s new “heart beat” law. Without any hint of irony, she claims that women “cannot risk getting pregnant” and should withhold sex “until we get bodily autonomy back.”
I have no idea why people call this controversial because there is nothing controversial about life and science. Life begins at conception. It’s science and basic biology.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) tried so hard to get failed Georgia governor candidate Stacey Abrams to challenge Republican incumbent Sen. David Perdue in 2020.
It didn’t work as Abrams announced today she will not run for the senate in 2020.

Students at Emory University, including Jewish students, woke up this week to find eviction notices taped to their dorm room doors. The notices were posted by ‘Emory Students for Justice in Palestine’ as part of “Israeli Apartheid Week.”
This looks really bad. The school took millions in federal funds meant for students and allegedly used it to pay for other expenses.
