Arthur Smith is the Right Man for Falcons’ Rebuilding Job
NNPA NEWSWIRE — Arthur Smith has taken an offense that didn’t have its best receiver (Calvin Ridley), doesn’t have a consistent offensive line, shaped it around a gadget player (Cordarrelle Patterson) player that has broken Jeremy Shockey’s record for most receiving yards by a rookie tight end in the modern era (Kyle Pitts) and turned it into a respectable unit.

Analysis: The Best Thing Donald Trump Has Done in Years
NNPA NEWSWIRE — It’s not clear whether Trump defending vaccines is even enough to change the minds of some of his most ardent supporters. The former President was booed earlier this week when he acknowledged he had received a booster and the issue has, for many of the unvaccinated, been turned in a political matter rather than a public health one.

OPINION: The ‘woke mob’ didn’t come for Aaron Rodgers
ATLANTA VOICE — “At the time, my plan was to say I’d been immunized; it wasn’t some sort of ruse,” Rodgers said.”I believe strongly in bodily autonomy and the ability to make choices for your body, not to have to acquiesce to some woke-culture-crazed group of individuals who say you have to do something,” although he did note that he has followed the protocols for unvaccinated players to a T. Rodgers’ reaction to the fallout has been more akin to the Trumpian tactic of refusing to take responsibility for past wrongs and instead attacking one’s critics. Rodgers should — and must — be better than that, both for his teammates and for his legion of fans who admire him and even see him as a role model.

COMMENTARY: Choose Celebrity Over Humility if You Dare
NNPA NEWSWIRE — In order to honestly accept the reality of faith, I believe we must become naked in those things that God expects and adores submission, selflessness, humility, reverence, charity, love and more. We all know the world to be a cruel place for people who demonstrate these qualities. The world can be lethal for those it views as submissive and passive and humble.

After two months in office, Kamala Harris is still living out of suitcases — and she’s getting frustrated with it
THE ATLANTA VOICE — Although Blair House provides comfortable, even luxurious, accommodations, Harris and Emhoff’s current surroundings lack the creature comforts of a home. Antiques and museum-quality pieces of American history deck each of the 100-plus rooms, which include a gym and a private hair salon. And although the professional, full-time staff of more than a dozen provide amenities as accommodating as a luxury hotel, Blair House does not offer the laid-back vibe Harris and Emhoff are said to prefer when they are home. The couple enjoy a more casual, West Coast informality, with frequent visits from family and large Sunday suppers, the former California senator has said.
