The Bi-Partisan Infrastructure Bill and the Build Back Better reconciliation they say are stalled in Congress. Now Joe Manchin tells us what he wants and no one is surprised. A U.S. Capital police officer is arrested for Obstruction of Justice with regards to January 6th. Donald Trump embarrasses himself again. Let's get into it.

Former FBI Director Andrew McCabe was fired by Donald Trump for doing his job. But it wasn't enough to fire him but he took away his pension and destroyed his reputation. This was pure vindictiveness on the part of Trump. Well, McCabe sued and today he got vindication. Steve Bannon refused to testify in front of the House Select Committee and now we will see if Congress and the Department of Justi...

It's not enough that anti vaxxers refused to be vaccinated. When they start threatening school board members, doctors, nurses and others that is a bridge too far. This is the week that the subpoenas the House Select Committee issued come due. It will be interesting to see how that shakes out. Trump illustrates his stupidity perfectly in his latest quote. Let's get into it.

Well the Debt Ceiling has been raised and we've averted certain an economic catastrophe. Unfortunately it's only a temporary fix. Come December third, like Maxine Nightingale once said we will be "Right Back Where We Started From". The anti abortion games continue in Texas and I have an idea to offer a response that Trumplicans might not like. Still waiting on the bipartisan Infrastructure Bill an...

We have many problems in our politics. But the biggest problem to me is political cowardice. Our politicians have little integrity these days. They govern by fear. We found out the Las Vegas Raiders coach John Gruden is a POS and it turns out the Federal Unemployment payments weren't the reason people weren't going back to work. Let's get into it.

Be careful of who you put on a pedestal. Why is it called entitlements when the government serves the people? Especially when that's what they were elected to do. We all agree that term limits would benefit this country. So why don't we have term limits? Let's get into it.

Texas passed a ridiculous law banning abortion in the state. Then a Federal Judge blocked the ban. Two days later an Appeals Court reinstated the ban. I don't think Republicans understand the trouble they are asking for from the women of this country. The House Oversight Committee is looking into some of Donald Trump's hotel business. Wait until you hear why and what they found. And you thought th...

I'm a bit annoyed by some shenanigans on Tik Tok. We know that Donald Trump worked very hard to overturn the 2020 election by suggesting there was election fraud. The Judiciary Committee released a 400 page report after a lengthy investigation. It turns out what Donald Trump did was far worse that we imagined. Let's get into it.

Mitch McConnell has refused to allow the Democrats to raise the Debt Ceiling. He not only refused to help he intentionally attempted to block. Well Mr. Tough Guy Mitch McConnell changed his tune and he caved, flinched, blinked. A federal judge in Austin Texas issued orders to block the six week abortion ban. Former Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino under Mark Meadows during the Trump era was suppo...

The economic future of this country is hanging in the balance as we wait for or representatives to raise the Debt Ceiling. Now the Debit Ceiling will be raised because it has to be. If not it will be economically catastrophic for each and everyone of us. The question is how is it going to get done? The House Select Committee to investigate the Insurrection issued subpoenas and promised things will...

From the Debt Ceiling to the reconciliation Infrastructure Bill, Mitch McConnell and the Republican Party have been nothing but obstructionists. They've proven that they clearly don't care about the people of this country. They are more concerned with "owning" the Democrats then doing the job they were elected to. Let's get into it.

We have a lot of things to cover in this episode. An update of my road trip debacle. Another huge oil spill off the coast of California. Trump is suing Twitter. Facebook getting heat over their part in the January 6th Insurrection and the antiquated rules that do nothing but hurt we the people. Let's get into it.

We start things off with questions and comments from listeners. Then we segue right into the two Infrastructure Bills that we've been going back and forth on. The Bipartisan Bill was supposed to clear the House on Thursday but it didn't happen. Don't worry about it though because they are back on it Friday morning. People are worried about the $3.5 trillion dollar Reconciliation Bill price tag. Bu...

Our government was intended to work together, negotiate in good faith and compromise for the betterment of this country and it's people. Unfortunately that's not how it is work. Democrats and Republicans are nothing more than adversarial. There's no negotiation and certainly no compromise. It is the polar opposite of how this country was created as a Republic and a Democracy. When this happens not...

General Mark Milley gets grilled by the Senate. Democratic Senators Manchin and Sinema are the only stumbling blocks to getting the $3.5 Trillion dollar Infrastructure Bill passed. Which is ironic because this is a Democratic bill. Oh and Trump gets a Colonoscopy. Let's get into it.

There's a lot of things happening in Congress this week. And of course there's zero agreement between the two parties. Contradictory to what Congress is supposed to be. They have seemed to forgotten what their job is. They are in office to serve us and this country. Instead what we have is a game of chicken. Let's get into it.

I answer a question from a listener regarding Mitch McConnell. Then we have a Facebook thread from a dumb Trumplican that took a year to get an answer. There's lots of stuff getting ready to pop that you need to know about and we breakdown the $3.5 trillion dollar Reconciliation Bill. Let's get into it.

We've waited months to hear the findings in the Cyber Ninjas Arizona Fraudit and sadly Trumplicans are going to be woefully disappointed. The House Select Committee is finally putting their foot on the gas pedal and issued four subpoenas to some of Trump's closest advisors. Don't forget about the Debt Ceiling. We either raise it or we suffer catastrophic economic consequences. Seems like a no brai...

We now know Donald Trump, his administration and the Republican Party made a concerted and deliberate effort to overturn the 2020 Presidential Election. Which can be considered nothing less than attempted coup. There's documentation and a paper trail proving. So the question is, what are we going to do about it? During the Trump term Mitch McConnell and the Republicans raised the Debt Ceiling mult...

As President of the United States Donald Trump did many things that damage this country immensely. I answer as question from a listener regarding Donald Trump destabilizing the oil industry. Not mention attempting to overthrow our system and bringing us to the brink of nuclear war. As bad as things appear it seems in the end leading up to January 2021 this country was sitting precariously on the p...

Well the Justice for J6 Rally happened and nothing happened. The self destruction of the Republican party and why I believe Universal Health Care is absolutely needed in this country. We can afford it and it's what we need to do. Let's get into it.

The U.S. Drone strike in Kabul was an epic failure. Diaper Donny is going to need to provide some DNA in the E. Jean Carroll lawsuit because she saved the dress. How are we to take the Republican Party as a whole seriously if the vast majority still believe the "Big Lie". Let's get into it.

In the next couple of weeks our government needs to look at raising the Debt Ceiling. The Republicans are against it in spite of the fact that under the Trump term they added 7 trillion to the debt and suspended the Debt Ceiling. General Milley made and executive decision in an emergency situation and now the Republican are butt hurt about it. Our women's Team USA Gymnastic team is sexually abused...

The Recall in California is in the books and it went better than could be expected. Bob Woodward and Robert Costa are releasing a new book about the last days of the Trump and it was worse than we thought. Let's get into it.

With all the tragedy, natural disasters, corruption and violence these days there are a lot people wondering "if we will be alright". A big Trump Fest ended up not being that big. New revelations on the 9/11 attack and the Supreme Court is having credibility problems.
