Started in 2019 with the only opportunity to cover college football being on the UGA beat.
By 2023, I felt we were ready to do both the UGA content AND attempt a national growth plan.
Had 14k subs in August of 2023.
We will cross 138k by end of week.

A Free Press reporter asks New Yorkers if socialism is good for America.
They all say yes.
Then she brings out Daniel Di Martino, who fled Venezuela, and they get a firsthand horror story they weren’t ready for.
NEW YORKER: “I think socialism is actually really good for society.”
DI MARTINO: “Are you familiar with how socialism worked out in other countries historically?”
NEW YORKER: “Just because it didn’t work out so well in other parts of the world doesn’t mean it won’t work out well for New York.”
Di Martino’s family lived through the promises these voters are buying.
DI MARTINO: “My family went from making $2,000 a month 20 years ago to $100 a month in 2016. That was because the government gave everything you can imagine for free.”
“We went from being a normal middle-class family with a car and then no electricity, no water.”
Asked if they support “government grocery stores,” the answer is just as confident.
NEW YORKER: “Of course I do.”
So Di Martino explains what grocery shopping looked like under socialism.
DI MARTINO: “There was very little supply of chicken, toilet paper. It was a line for blocks and blocks for a grocery store.”
NEW YORKER: “What happened in Venezuela isn’t going to happen here. The policy is more focused on helping people out.”
A man describes lines stretching for blocks just to buy chicken and toilet paper, and a Mamdani voter waves it away. Because THIS time, they’re sure it will work.
REPORTER: “You know, they have tried that in the Soviet Union from where my parents and my grandparents are from. All they remember of grocery stores is empty shelves.”
DI MARTINO: “The DSA went to Venezuela just last year to support the dictator and say that he won the election that he didn’t.”
NEW YORKER: “I had no idea. I did not know.”
DI MARTINO: “Government rent control. It’s going to stop people from renting apartments because they’re not going to be able to profit. There are going to be fewer apartments for rent.”
NEW YORKER: “That’s a good point. I agree with that. Okay. I understand more about socialism now for sure.”
Socialism always sounds good to people who’ve never had to live under it.
Those who have never want to live under it again.

It’s a hell of a thing being Gen X and learning everything on the news was a lie.

Everything is more expensive because we are decades into building and funding the biggest welfare state in the history of mankind.
That’s it.
Solved it for you.

Friendly reminder that 15.2 million hunters walked into the woods this weekend. Not a single one was shot on purpose. Not a single mass shooting. It’s not the gun. It’s the people.

Dear Muslims,
As Lent is just 94 days away,
Please join Christians who will be fasting.
Please join in repenting and turning to Christ in faith.
Do not neglect the salvation God offers all people through faith in Jesus Christ.
The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus.
Dear non-Muslims,
As Ramadan is just 92 days away,
Please avoid eating in front of Muslims who are fasting.
Please avoid drinking in their presence.
Do not deliberately tempt those observing the fast.
Muslims will be fasting from dawn until sunset.
A little consideration and respect go a long way. ❤️🌙
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Non-Muslims are not required to avoid eating or drinking near those who are fasting. Guides and many Muslims say the fast is a personal obligation; normal eating by non-Muslims is fine; not eating in front of others is an optional courtesy, but is not obligatory.

This post on Monday caused quite a stir, especially with Ole Miss fans who were understandably taking up for their team.
We said all week on the radio:
1) The day after the sugar bowl all UGA fans believed not having Gabe Harris on Jan 1 was an issue. He was back last night. You could tell.
2) Also, Jordan Hall was not in that game in January. He was outstanding last night.
3) Plus, Cole, Robinson, Bolden and others on D are just so much better now than the last game with Ole Miss.
Our UGA analysts were in step with me all week, and I hope you’ll listen to us for the best UGA coverage on the radio each afternoon at 3:00.
UGA fans worried about Trinidad Chambliss... please remember this.
In the 1st game on Oct. 18, Chambliss ran for 42 yards on 9 carries and 2 TD. UGA outrushed OM 221-88.
In the 2nd game on Jan. 1, Chambliss ran for 14 yards on 4 carries. UGA outrushed OM 124-111.
They simply could not catch Chambliss when he scrambled. He avoided the sack and then would complete the pass. Look at the play-by-play of the first drive of the 4th quarter. They could not stop him from avoiding the sack. He got away and then made big passes, including a 44-yarder that drove them down the field to take the 27-24 lead.
Don't take this in any way as disrespect of Chambliss. He was great, especially in the Sugar Bowl. But it's not like he had designed runs and had success in that way.
UGA must GET TO HIM when they get free of the OM OL. Then they must wrap him up.

Why do you think this officer decided to just barge into these people’s backyard? Was it the pork barbecue or was it that the women weren’t covered head to toe in black burlap?
6 th precinct area of NY a man was having a Memorial Day barbecue when an Islamic cop entered his backyard demanding to see his ID .
The homeowner asked him to leave his property. The cop refused several times before he finally left.. what you see in the video was a little bit of that altercation and then a follow up to the homeowner going to the precinct and talking to another cop about the incident and showing body cam footage.
