Bibb County school board members kept the millage rate the same, but that doesn’t mean your property tax bill stays the same.

It amounts to a 9.33% tax increase, while Bibb Schools are also dealing with added financial oversight and $35 million in short-term loan.

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

Brighton High School made the pathetic decision to ban Memphis Central's award-winning marching band from its football games.

Memphis Central showed up anyway and played all four quarters on extremely obnoxious kazoos.

A Memphis high school marching band (Memphis Central) was banned by the opposing school’s principal (Brighton, TN) for playing “too loud.” Memphis Central brought out kazoos instead to play:

@geoff_calkins the best thing you will see today. After being banned from Brighton High, the Central High band all buy a ticket, come as the greatest student section of all time, and, when the Warriors run back an early kickoff, pull pocket kazoos & play the school fight song!

Over the last few weeks, I have had many conversations with friends, supporters, and leaders across the country who encouraged me to run for the US Senate in 2026. I greatly appreciate their support and prayers for our family.

After those discussions, I have decided that being on the ballot next year is not the right decision for me and my family.

I spoke with President Trump and Senate leadership earlier today and expressed my commitment to work alongside them to ensure we have a strong Republican nominee who can win next November, and ultimately be a conservative voice in the US Senate who will put hardworking Georgians first.

I am confident we will be united in that important effort, and I look forward to electing the next generation of leaders up and down the ballot here in the Peach State who will keep our state and nation headed in the right direction in 2026 and beyond.

If Glover moves forward with a campaign (assuming he runs as a Democrat) and Congressman Sanford Bishop seeks re-election, it would set up a Democratic primary race for Georgia's 2nd District next year. 👀 #gapol #GA02

Growing up on Macon’s Southside, I learned early that resilience isn’t just a word—it’s a way of life. My grandmother, Mattie Sue, always said, “Charity begins at home and spreads abroad.” I saw those words come to life during the floods of ‘94. 🧵

MLK Jr.'s family is making a rare visit to Memphis — where he was assassinated — to mark the 56th anniversary of his murder.

They plan to highlight what they see as a rising threat of political violence today.

One of the greatest runs in college football history is over. Nick Saban informed his team today that he's retiring, sources tell ESPN. He won six national championships at Alabama and one at LSU.
