Trump pledges to restore 'American dream' at Cobb rally

At a Cobb County campaign rally, former President Donald Trump vowed to tackle inflation, cut taxes, and deport illegal immigrants. He criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, asserting she would raise taxes by letting his earlier tax cuts expire. Trump emphasized ending taxes on tips and overtime and accused Harris of being lenient on crime during her previous roles in California. Highlighting illegal immigration as a top election issue, he promised the largest deportation initiative. Trump pledged to revive U.S. manufacturing with tariffs and achieve energy independence with increased drilling. He acknowledged Gov. Brian Kemp’s hurricane response, despite past tensions, noting Kemp's current endorsement. Trump did not address abortion, an issue Democrats aim to leverage, as Harris campaigns for restoring Roe v. Wade. Trump portrayed the election as critical, declaring a mission to restore American confidence and revive the American dream.

STORY 1:'Solar Opposites' Star Mary Mack Performs at Strand Friday

Stand-up comedian and voice actress Mary Mack is set to debut at The Strand Theatre in Marietta as part of the “Comedy at The Strand” series. Known for her clean, relatable humor, Mack has released six comedy albums and appeared on shows like “The Tonight Show” and “Last Comic Standing.” She voices Jesse on Hulu's “Solar Opposites” and hosts the “North Star Comedy Hour” podcast. Mack enjoys connecting with audiences and will continue touring into 2025, with two new comedy albums releasing in December. Her show at The Strand starts at 8 p.m. Friday, with tickets available online.

STORY 2:Second Day of Early Voting Continues in Cobb

Cobb County, Georgia, saw record-breaking early voter turnout for the upcoming general election, with over 37,930 residents voting by Wednesday afternoon. This surge more than doubled previous first-day turnouts in 2020 and 2022. Despite some initial technical issues with ballot encoders, voting has proceeded smoothly across 12 stations, with generally short wait times. Many voters chose to vote early for convenience and to ensure their votes are counted, citing concerns about the economy, taxes, and political leadership. Early voting continues through November 1, ahead of Election Day on November 5.

STORY 3:Gwen Walz Campaigns in Cobb

Minnesota First Lady Gwen Walz visited Cobb County, Georgia, to rally Democratic voters and support down-ballot candidates, including the Cobb County Board of Education. Speaking alongside local leaders, Walz emphasized the importance of voting in every race to address key issues like education and reproductive rights. Her visit followed a rally by former President Donald Trump in the area. Walz criticized Trump's stance on reproductive rights and encouraged attendees to mobilize voters. Her visit coincided with record-breaking early voter turnout in Georgia, highlighting the urgency of the upcoming election.

STORY 4: Cobb, Marietta See Improvement in ACT Scores

Cobb and Marietta school districts saw an increase in average ACT scores, outperforming state and national averages. Cobb's average rose to 22.8, while Marietta's increased to 22.7. Both districts ranked in the top 10 statewide, with Cobb seventh and Marietta ninth. Marietta showed significant growth, especially among Hispanic students, and excelled in English and reading. Cobb's top schools, Walton and Wheeler, scored 26. Despite recent gains, both districts have seen a decline since 2021. Georgia's average ACT score slightly decreased, but the state still surpassed national averages in all subjects.

STORY 5:New Video Released in Unsolved Cherokee House Party Shooting Case

The Cherokee Sheriff’s Office released new video footage to help solve the unsolved case of 14-year-old Landon Andrews, who was killed at a house party in 2021. The video shows over 100 kids fleeing the scene, and authorities are seeking those with firsthand knowledge of the incident. Despite processing extensive evidence and witness statements, the shooter remains unidentified. A related fight earlier that night in Kennesaw may be connected. The sheriff’s office urges the public to help bring closure to Andrews' family, who established the LB22 Foundation in his memory. A hotline is available for anonymous tips.

Popular items include strawberry croissants, chocolate éclairs, and specialty cakes. The bakery also offers sandwiches like the "Frenchie" and croque monsieur. The Bonnins, originally from France, moved to the metro area to pursue their dream, supported by family and friends. Seasonal items like pumpkin pies and buche de noel will be available.

The Marietta Board of Education is reviewing calendar options for the 2026-2029 school years. Two options are presented for each year: Option A, a balanced calendar with breaks in September and February, and Option B, which eliminates the February break but ends the school year earlier. Families and staff will receive a survey to choose their preferred calendar, and each school's governance team will vote based on feedback. The school board will make the final decision in December. These options apply to the 2027-2028 and 2028-2029 school years as well.
