Minyard & Minyard Do a Podcast - A View From the Left.

President Biden is so far ignoring the borderline panic and political crisis that is building among Democrats and freedom-loving people across the globe. He stubbornly resists the calls for him to step down from the campaign and pass the baton to a younger generation. He says that he'll only step aside if the "good Lord Himself" tells him to. Our question is: "How do we know that this isn't the good Lord do...

Three things happened at the disaster of what was called a "debate" last Thursday. 

1. Biden was terrible.  
2. Trump unleashed an avalanche of bullshit "the likes of which we've never seen".
3. CNN crashed and burned while Jake Tapper and Dana Bash ended their careers for all intents and purposes.
What now?  We discuss.

No way around it.  Last night was a fiasco. A disgusting and incompetent and lie-filled performance by Trump should have been destroyed by his debate opponent and the moderators.  Instead, we are now faced with the fact that Biden is not up to the task and must be replaced immediately.  CNN has also failed again in not addressing the avalanche of bullshit that Trump unleashed.  Strap in. It's gonna be a wild ride.

Gotta love Louisiana. Thanks to their Governor signing into law there a mandate for all schools, public and private, to post the Ten Commandments in classrooms, Trump has had to deal with the issue.  And Trump being Trump, went all in on the idea in front of the Faith and Freedom Conference.  Now, let's take a look at those Ten Commandments and just how Trump measures up.  Meanwhile, it's Debate Week! What could possibly ...

The past week featured a convicted felon with dozens of still pending charges sweep into town, where they threw a mob-style welcome home party for him. This leads to lots of questions. Associating with known criminals is disqualifying for just about any job in the country, so why do we accept that these weak examples of leaders are worthy of our most precious tool...our vote?  We discuss.

Between now and July 11th, Judge Juan Merchan will be deciding what to do with convicted felon Donald Trump. We will hear daily predictions of "no incarceration", "home confinement", "probation", "community service" and "prison time".  One thing is certain, Merchan's decision will cause half of our political populace to lose their shit. MAGA is already floating around in the da...

Ken and Rick have decidedly differing views on how AG Merrick Garland has handled the Trump investigation.  We debate.  We also explore how Evangelical Christians have destroyed their credibility with their slavish devotion to Trump. Lawrence O'Donnell had a monologue for the ages this past week in anticipation of the trial starting in Manhattan, while Trump's attorneys show just how competent they are.  All this and more...

Last week, we explored the great American Tradition of Pitch Men, and made the argument that Trump is the greatest of all time.  His grift has gotten him to the highest office in the land and convinced 70 million of our fellow voters to be convinced that he's the one to save us.  Well, in this episode, we feature one more that certainly should have been included last week.  Alex Jones.

Dating back 200 years or more, with the 'Snake Oil Salesmen', and others hawking their wares door-to-door or at County Fairs or boardwalks, America enjoys a long tradition of pitch men.  We explore some of the best in the past 40 years or so, and ask where the line is between pitch men and grifter.  There is no doubt that there is one who stands out as the best in history.

In a wild several days including Trump obtaining both another delay in one case, and a three week warning before a Jury is set to be seated in another...we share some of the Elon Musk interview with Don Lemon that ultimately got Lemon fired on his first day on the job at the app formerly known as Twitter.  Was it the questions about Musk's tolerance of Nazi's and white nationalists?  Or perhaps it was the challenges to Mu...

There is no disputing that America is at a place that we've not been since the 1860's.  We really are two separate nations.  Our differences appear to be irreconcilable. Therefore, instead of taking up arms and killing our fellow citizens over politics and whether we should convert from a Democratic Republic to an Authoritarian form of government, why not negotiate a civil separation and create the Red States of America a...

Big week.  MAGA finally ran out the clock on Nikki Haley with the Super Tuesday results. President Biden blew away the low expectations set by both left and right by delivering a forceful State of the Union address, Eric Swalwell schools MAGA members of congress on the border bill, and Marjorie Taylor Greene told a foreign journalist to fuck off when asked about Jewish space lasers.  Just another week.
