I was a day late with this episode, but it's only temporary.  I get into the latest Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but more importantly, why the ceasefire really means almost nothing. I also talk about the disappointment police reformists have in body-worn cameras, Trump's database claim, Biden's vaccine "warning", the PA governor getting his emergency powers watered down, and the continued implosion of the GOP, this time over the J...

The GOP had a big decision to make this week.  One that will define what the party is about. So I break down what that means for the future of the GOP. I also talk about MTG's run ins with AOC, a truly disgusting Bay Area teacher, the new mask guidance and liberal reaction to it, and how the state and local American Rescue Plan dollars can be used.

This week, I get into the fact that no one really knows how statistics work (so maybe a college education is actually worth something after all!).  This includes COVID mask mandates and police shootings.  I also discuss the IG report about Mike Pompeo, Biden's alleged plan for red meat, a data "leak" regarding Kyle Rittenhouse's legal defense fund, clarifying my statement about police shootings from last week, and the reactions to ...

After President Biden put together a Commission on the Supreme Court, four Congressmen put forth a proposal to expand the Supreme Court to thirteen. I review the history of the Supreme Court (and the federal judiciary) to put context on both the Commission and proposal.

I also talk about the anti-vaxxer "gotcha" moment, more whining from Donald Trump, racism in our highways, and the shooting death of Duante Wright.

This week, I dive into the issue of illegal immigration and the current "crisis" along the border. Also, I discuss the latest in my new home woes, the Tiger Woods crash, a graphic posted by a relative that has me simply shaking my head in shame, and some revealing (but not very earth shattering) text exchanges between Bay Area county health officers.
