This is another nearly tragic story out of Charm City that thankfully didn't end as horribly as it might have, and could (possibly) even carry some positive portents for the future.

But rather than sitting down and heading to school, 16-year-old Kaeden Holland, who went by the handle of "Baby K," approached a 14-year-old boy on the bus with two of his...

January 16, 2024 Republican Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) appeared at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday, while ignoring calls to criminally prosecute Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

Because I believe they can certainly learn a thing or two from us.” It is not clear what global elites...
