If Fani Willis is indeed guilty of the charges against her, she has proved her lack of character and should be held accountable under our laws. But what she did does nothing to alter what Donald Trump did. He still tried to steal the election, asking Georgia officials to find votes for him. Nothing Willis did changes that.

Not only did Ronda Stryker just give Spellman College a $100 million gift, she had already given the college $70 million over many years to help keep the college open. Let it be known that this is a white woman supporting an HBCU.

What’s wrong with people doing a little work to get some of the government freebies? If we expand Medicaid, the freeloaders are going to start crawling out of the woodwork like they do every time there’s a food giveaway here.

Unfortunately, there are no lifeguards in the gene pool.

Ronda Stryker: It’s refreshing to see a person give hundreds if not thousands of young women a chance at an education. I don’t know or care what her political affiliation is, I’m happy to see her make her second huge donation to Spelman College. It’s amazing what one can accomplish when they have love in their heart.

The “Black National Anthem?” Really? There is only one National Anthem. Stop all this. Be Americans — not black, white, Hispanic, Asian, etc. Doesn’t mean you deny your ethnicity.

Amen, Fletcher, as long as Kemp has delusions of grandeur dancing in his head, he’s never going to admit his Medicaid plan was a huge flop. Just like Deal and Perdue before him, Kemp wants to keep poor people down by using those tired, old racist tropes about “porch-sitters.” It’s a shame.

Squawker, I’d believe Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow long before I’d ever believed Sean Hannity and Glen Beck.

I am starting to get a little worried. The neighbor just pounded a snow gauge out in his front yard.

Fani Willis, of course, you are innocent until proven guilty. But don’t hire your lover to be lead prosecutor in a high-level, high-visibility case you are running. Pick another apple further from your tree next time.

Highly despicable dishonesty on display to the world. Atlanta DA Fani Willis’ campaign quotes that “sleeping with office subordinates/employees” is something she would never do are back to haunt her. Georgia again embarrassed before the nation.

I heard someone complain the other day about the singing of the “Black National Anthem.” What’s the big deal? We have a “White National Anthem.” It’s called “Freebird” … Skynyrd!

Fletcher, your hatred of our True President blinds you to the greatness of this man. That’s sad. He is going to bring this nation back to prosperity and make our nation great again. People like you should be taken out and horsewhipped for your blasphemy against this great man.

Character and integrity are shown when you’re alone and no one is watching. Unfortunately for Fani, someone was watching.
