Two Georgia women — including an assistant manager — are blasting Lululemon for sacking them from their jobs after they called the police while three masked men pillaged the store. Shocking video shows the brazen thieves burst into the Peachtree Corners store in metro Atlanta earlier this month to grab as many fistfuls of athletic clothing as possible. The women follow the group outside and watch as they pile into their getaway car, but notably do not try to physically stop the thieves — which has caused workers to lose their jobs or face charges in the past. Instead, they...

Who is going to trust the Department of Justice now? In the wake of Special Counsel John Durham’s long-awaited report, Americans now know there was widespread political collusion and deliberate deception from the very top of the Obama administration, the Clinton campaign, the corporate media and the Department of Justice (DOJ), all in favor of the Democrats. Not only did they abuse their power and lie to the public, they seem to be proud of it. With these facts now added to the long list of formerly crazy conspiracy theories come true, former president Donald Trump is essentially inoculated from...

The Atlanta prosecutor leading the probe into former President Donald Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results is expected to announce in August whether criminal charges will be brought.

Chick-fil-A's oldest restaurant, which opened in an Atlanta mall 56 years ago, is closing. The restaurant, located in the food court of Greenbriar Mall to the southwest of the city, is set to shut for good at 4 p.m. on Saturday, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

The Georgia Court of Appeals has revived a lawsuit from a group seeking to conduct an external review of Fulton County's absentee ballots from the 2020 election.

However, Scupin, Draime, Doran, Taylor, and Sotir are not Fulton County residents and...

he U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) took more than a year to open an investigation into allegedly intentional racial segregation in Atlanta Public Schools and purported retaliation against parents who complained.

The nonprofit Committee for APS Progress asked district officials why majority-black Hope-Hill Elementary School in Atlanta would not be housed on the same site as "the rest of the cluster schools" in Midtown — majority-white Mary...
