Senator Raphael Warnock of Georgia, a Democrat, recently spoke to members of a synagogue in Los Angeles and claimed that transphobia is violence against humanity and divinity and an offense to the glory of God.
First, transphobia is a stupid word. People who object to the trans agenda do not fear trans people. They just don’t want it pushed on their kids in schools. They don’t want their wives and daughters to have to share intimate spaces with biological men.
A free open-source website called DeFlock now lets drivers route around automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras as a surveillance company prepares to add Bluetooth device-tracking to the same roadside hardware.
DeFlock, built by developer Will Freeman and backed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), crowdsources ALPR camera locations nationwide and maps roughly half of Flock Safety’s roughly 100,000-camera network.
Users enter a start and destination, select an avoidance buffer between 50 and 500 feet, and receive a privacy-optimized route.
A companion tool called “Have I Been Flocked,” available through StopFlock, lets users check whether their plate has appeared in Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)-obtained Flock query logs.
Flock Safety sent DeFlock a cease-and-desist order over alleged trademark dilution. Freeman declined to comply, with the EFF providing legal backing.
DeFlock’s growth coincides with plans by ELSAG, a subsidiary of Italian defense company Leonardo, to add device-tracking sensors to existing ALPR hardware.
The system, called SignalTrace, scans passing vehicles for Bluetooth and wireless signals from phones, smartwatches, earbuds, and fitness trackers, then correlates devices that travel together to a specific plate and timestamp. ELSAG describes the method as “non-intrusive intelligence gathering.” 404 Media reported the SignalTrace system on June 8, 2026.
An EFF analysis published in May 2026 found agencies had used Flock data for school residency checks, background searches, and noise complaints. More than 50 agencies ran hundreds of protest-related Flock searches over a 10-month period.
Washington State’s Driver Privacy Act, signed by Gov. Bob Ferguson on March 30, 2026, bans ALPR collection near health-care facilities, schools, and places of worship, and sets a 21-day default data retention limit. NPR reported in February 2026 that several cities terminated Flock contracts over concerns about federal immigration agencies accessing locally collected plate data.
Georgia is reportedly struggling to meet the growing water demands of AI data centers, as Atlanta planners urge operators to prioritize community needs and reduce consumption — even as water usage varies widely across facilities.
“There’s no easy answer for how much water data centers are requesting,” Celine Benoit, principal planner for the Atlanta Regional Commission and Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District, said, according to a report by Bloomberg.
Benoit, who was speaking at a conference hosted by the American Water Works Association on Monday, added that Georgia residents are unfamiliar with AI data centers and oppose them based on the facilities’ water and energy demands.
Georgia, which is prone to droughts, is one of the areas of the U.S. where data centers are being quickly developed, with the Atlanta area being the second largest data center market in the Unites States as measured by megawatts of power usage.
Proposed AI data centers need water ranging anywhere from 5,000 gallons to 9 million gallons per day, depending on the cooling system, as well as other factors, Benoit noted.
As drought continues to lay waste to the state, local Georgia utilities have pushed back against data center developers’ requests for massive water usage, saying they simply don’t have enough supply to provide millions of gallons per day, she added.
Georgia Congressman, working alongside Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, moves to remove unfit judge who carried on an affair with high-ranking Atlanta PD official during business hours while actively presiding over criminal cases.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that a special committee for the Eleventh Circuit discovered that Eleanor Ross of the Northern District of Georgia carried out a two-year sexual affair in her “chambers and during business hours” with a police commander.
According to Bloomberg Law, the incidents all occurred within “earshot” of law clerks. The entire affair created a major conflict of interest and made the judge vulnerable to extortion.
Ross, who is married to a DeKalb County judge and former prosecutor, was also found by the committee to have attended a partisan political event hosted by a district attorney’s campaign and to have lied to judges investigating her conduct.
Despite these damning findings, Ross has refused to resign.
Freshman Rep. Clay Fuller (R-GA) announced Friday that he is dropping articles of impeachment against U.S. District Judge Eleanor L. Ross of the Northern District of Georgia on Monday.
Rep. Fuller wrote on X:
I am dropping an article of impeachment against Eleanor L. Ross, a Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. I have been working on this alongside [Jim Jordan] since the news broke and will be introducing this on Monday.
Judge Ross is alleged to have engaged in an extramarital affair with a high-ranking official of the Atlanta Police Department inside her federal courthouse chambers during office hours, within earshot of her judicial staff, while actively presiding over criminal cases.
This radical judge has no place in power and is unfit to sit on the federal bench.
A series of shocking violent criminal acts in Savannah, GA over the last week have left residents fearing for their lives, and worried about the safety of their city under Mayor Van Johnson. They feel the gang warfare and wanton disregard for human life is threatening Savannah’s way of life.
The three incidents below happened over the last few days:
The Savannah Police Department (SPD) is investigating after a shooting took place on the 10000 block of Abercorn Street Sunday afternoon.
Officers responded to the shooting at approximately 2 p.m., where they found an adult man with a gunshot wound, reported WSAV.
The man was transported to Memorial Health for further treatment, but he ultimately died due to his injuries.
“I never set out to battle county government. I simply wanted to sell the food I grow—healthy, local produce and value-added goods—to my neighbors,” Georgia farmer Stephanie Jones shared with The Gateway Pundit.
Recently, The Gateway Pundit spoke with Stephanie Jones, owner of Jones Creek Farm, a small family farm in Liberty County, Georgia.
In an era when Americans are increasingly demanding transparency and control over what ends up on their plates, the farm-to-table movement has emerged as a powerful counter to our industrialized food system.
By supporting small farmers and cottage food businesses, communities gain access to fresher, more nutritious food while strengthening local economies and preserving agricultural traditions.
These direct connections between growers and consumers are vital—not only for economic resilience, but for restoring personal agency over the food we eat.
This push for greater food sovereignty sits at the heart of the growing MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement, which seeks to reduce chronic disease by reforming agricultural policy, empowering small producers, and challenging the dominance of ultra-processed foods.
In this interview, this dedicated Georgia farmer shares her firsthand battle with local bureaucracy and her vision for a more resilient, community-centered food system.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger failed Tuesday night to clinch enough votes for one of the two spots in the runoff for the Republican primary for Georgia governor, losing to Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and health care executive Rick Jackson.
Raffensperger secured just 14% of the vote, according to the Associated Press, compared to Jones’ 37% and Jackson’s 34%. Jones is considered the favorite to win the nomination after President Donald Trump endorsed his campaign.
Another closely watched race in Georgia is its Senate race, where Republicans are hoping to defeat Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in November. The race has not yet been called, but GOP Rep. Mike Collins is in the lead for the GOP nomination.
The results come on one of the busiest primary nights of the 2026 season, with six states holding their respective primaries. The other states are Alabama, Idaho, Kentucky, Oregon and Pennsylvania.
Polls have already closed in Kentucky, where GOP Rep. Andy Barr won the Republican nomination for governor and GOP Rep. Thomas Massie lost his reelection bid for the House to Trump-backed Ed Gallrein.
Below is a statement from an attorney representing the petitioner’s in the case demanding observers in the Secretary of State’s ‘bunker’ used for election results.
STATEMENT FROM ONE OF THE PETITIONER’S ATTORNEYS
…regarding the Court’s decision to rescind it’s earlier ruling: “When Judge Glanville called me earlier today he stated that he agrees with our interpretation of the law – that the Secretary’s compilation of results should be open to public observation.
While the State secured an additional 5 days, the court has set a short notice hearing for May 28th at which time we expect to be successful in our efforts to compel the Secretary to admit observers and State Election Board members at his secret meetings where winners and losers are decided.”
Georgia’s 2026 election results will be aggregated on Election Night by Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger from a “secret bunker” which is off limits to candidates, the public and even to State Election Board (SEB) members who have requested access.
The secret aggregation of election results is a clear violation of state election transparency law which requires all election officials to conduct all election activities in public. The law specifically states:
“Superintendents, poll officers, and other officials engaged in the conducting of primaries and elections held under this chapter shall perform their duties in public.” O.C.G.A. § 21-2-406
The bunker is operated by the Georgia Emergency Management Agency to mitigate emergency conditions and threats. It is believed to be below an Emergency Operations Center building at an undisclosed location in the metro Atlanta area.
Why Secretary Raffensperger would want to secretly aggregate results in an emergency bunker continues to be inexplicable. All 159 Georgia counties aggregate results from their precincts on Election Night but none do it in secret since such secrecy is prohibited by law.
Federal law also requires that all Congressional candidates be able to observe such election activities. Several federal and state candidates have already expressed concerns, Some are expected to seek an emergency temporary restraining order and writ of mandamus today in an attempt to force Raffensperger to comply with the law. 52 USC § 21083a.
The SEB discussed the secret emergency bunker at their May 1, 2026 remote meeting and requested that, at a minimum, a member of each of the two major political parties be present for the aggregation but Raffensperger’s office has so far denied repeated requests.
Last December, a Georgia woman sustained severe burns to her face, neck, and scalp after a stranger emerged from the bushes at a Forsyth park and doused her in acid.
According to law enforcement, a black male approached the victim, Ashley Wasielewski, while she was walking around Forsyth Park and hurled acid at her.
The suspect, who is still at large, approached the victim from behind and poured the liquid chemical on her.
Wasielewski suffered third-degree burns and received treatment at Memorial Hospital in Augusta.
According to police, the attacker was not known to the victim.
“I walk around this park a lot, even at night,” Wasielewski told WJCL. “You just don’t expect something like this to happen here.”
