Sunday Morning Coffee with Mamaw and Miss Carmel
Well, hey y'all.
Pull up a coffee and set a spell, because Miss Carmel and I are plum wore out.
Lord have mercy, what a week.
Between Washington, Moscow, billionaires trying to run the country, politicians who apparently misplaced their backbones, and the never-ending parade of hypocrisy, I'm beginning to think Miss Carmel and I need a ch...
Mamaw is checking in with Brian Bengs...on year later after he announced he was running for US Senate as an Independent in South Dakota.

Hey y’all! Pull up a chair, pour yourself a coffee, and let’s talk. Because I was more tickled than a pup with his first bone to welcome Brian Bengs back to my porch.
We first met nearly a year ago, when Brian was in a camper during a terrible snowstorm. That’s the beauty of this porch: no fancy studio required. Just real people having conversations about things that matter. When I reminded Brian how long it had b...
Pull up a chair, grab your coffee, and let's talk about something that ought to concern every single one of us: accountability.
There are people who would dearly love to see the International Criminal Court weakened or eliminated. And wouldn't that be convenient?
The International Criminal Court exists to prosecute some of humanity's most serious crimes, including genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. It isn't perfect....
We spoke 1 year ago this month...what has changed? What has stayed the same? Enlightening and fun. How to deal with the MAGA highjacking of our faith. Watch, like, subscribe and SHARE! @revdrcalebjlines @LiberalDemocrary777 #progressivechristianity #mamawsporch #righteousanger @RebelHQ
You could not possibly have more fun than to listen to Christopher Macken and Mamaw kick back for a fun hour on a Sunday Morning. He is in Greece, Mamaw back on her porch in Ohio. Have a laugh and thought provoking conversation....just like you are sittin' on a porch.

Have no idea where the conversation will go, but join me with the one and only @ChristorpherMacken! We had a ball. Please watch, share and subscribe! Only on Mamaw's Porch. #replay #humor #findyourpeace #mamawsporchnpolitics @thepoliticschicks @MansionsAndMascara
Enjoy the conversation with two women who were there when the Army transitioned from the WOMEN's Army Corps to simply "THE ARMY". Their frank recollections and experiences. One's career short circuited by injury, one who retired and got called back into service, and given the task of calling her best friend when her son was injured in IRAQ.
Mamaw’s Porch n Politics:
Well, y’all, Taco Tuesday covered enough territory this week to make Mamaw wonder whether somebody had accidentally stuffed six months of news into 48 hours.
We had Mitch McConnell returning to the Senate after months away.
We had Donald Trump Jr. explaining why a Russian oligarch reportedly spent hundreds of thousands of dollars helping host his wedding celebrations.
We had scientists and AI r...
Well, y’all, apparently we have reached the point in American politics where a midterm convention can include a president leading thousands of people in a pledge that begins not with allegiance to the United States, not with the Constitution, and not even with the Republican Party — but with praise for Donald Trump.
At the Republican midter...
Pull up a chair, pour yourself something strong enough to get through another day in American politics, and welcome back to Mamaw’s Porch n Politics.
Today was Conniption Thursday, and apparently we have reached the portion of the Ame...
Today on Wednesday Random Thoughts, I bounced around a little.
Meat inspection.
Tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
Gas and diesel prices.
Trump's ballroom.
Trump's great big I Love Me midterm convention.
And finally, Arlington National Cemetery and an arch nobody asked for.
At first glance, these things don't seem connected.
They are.
The connecting thread is a presidency increasingly built around one man's impulses, one man's image ...
Well, pull up a chair and refill that coffee, because Mamaw covered enough territory today to require snacks and possibly a map.
We started somewhere very different from Washington politics—with a story I wrote and wanted to share.
And then we wandered into Washington.
Lord help us.
First Up: Hormones — File This Under &l...They were 18, serving in Vietnam, and falling in love when war suddenly tore them apart. Farmer was injured and sent home without a goodbye, leaving Sniper searching for the young soldier she loved.
Nearly 60 years, two separate lives, marriages, families, careers and grandchildren later, Farmer went looking for Sniper again.
And he found her.
Some love stories end. Some simply refuse to.

Well, grab your coffee, because apparently America has decided that normal is no longer on the menu.
We have 163 missing children recovered, millions of Epstein-related files reportedly still withheld, questionable Argentine beef making the social-media rounds, and a $400 million White House ballroom moving forward while Congress apparently searches the Capitol couch cushions for its constitutional authority.
So, you know—jus...
Counting down to the midterms and lots of events coming up! Stay tuned and participate!
If you watched my “Random Thoughts” drop yesterday, you already know where my head is.
There is so much happening at once that it is almost impossible to keep up. And maybe that is part of the problem.
A new outrage arrives before we have finished processing the last one. A lawsuit is filed. A judge issues an order. Another investigation begins. Another billion-dollar project appears. Another public institution becomes ...
What is the “big deal” about Hakeem Jeffries privately meeting with Jared Kushner?
I’ll tell you what I think the big deal is: follow the money—and pay attention to who may soon hold the gavel.
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries recently met privately in New York with Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law and influential outside adviser. According to reporting about the meeting, Kushner request...
The Universe….Our beloved humanitarian Dolly and hero John McCain died on the same date, 8 years apart. Both showed us the best of us and who we SHOULD be, and Taco’s fragile, petty ego lives on to show us the worst of ourselves.
This episode we talk about the Supreme Court ruling on ballots and the mail; this ridiculous tariff war with CANADA, Jeffries “secret” meeting with Kushner; reporters winning for t...
Mamaw starts by talking about food safety, or the lack thereof, with this administration and ties it in with the selling of Mustangs to Mexico for slaughter in the meat industry….and what the hell are we doing propping up Argentina’s beef industry while destroying our own? Yes, Cattlemen, I am talking to you and your support of Associations who support this Administration.
Then the attempt of Donald Trump and his sycop...
