The grifters have achieved a new low. Our transactional ex-president is, unsurprisingly, selling tennis shoes and a couple of bobbleheads. One is his head on the Terminator’s body: the Trumpinator, and the other is a bobblehead based on the Trump mugshot in Fulton County, Georgia. The whole thing redefines unseemly. Today I offer a short commentary on this mess. I hope you’ll listen.

Everyday Is 9/11 in Gaza; Hunter's Folly; Help W/Strings Karel Cast 24-66

I watched 9/11 One Day in America on Hulu and it suddenly made me see and realize the real horror going on in Gaza and how every day is 9/11 for them. And that makes us duplicitous with terrorists, since Netanyahu is behaving like a terrorist. 

Hunter's trial is a folly. Legal drugs versus illegal drugs. Really? We need to do better when it comes to selling guns, but are checkboxes the answer? And what would you want them to say, checkboxes?

Help…many people need it and there are many agencies set up to dish it out…but, with so many strings. Why is that? Why can't we just help people?

My comment today is delivered with a heavy heart. Like so many Jews around the world, I am distraught and distressed at the Netanyahu government and its now-clear goal of running the Palestinians out of Gaza and the West Bank. Controlled by a self-centered Prime Minister and an uncompromising religious minority, Israel finds itself at odds with the wider world. Here’s a short commentary that sheds a little light. I hope you’ll listen.

This time on Code WACK!

How do Managed Care health insurance plans hurt patients? Why is it legal for commercial health insurers to use Denial-of-Care as a business model? And what is one organization doing to call attention to such issues? 

To find out, we spoke to Kimberly J. Soenen, founder of “SOME PEOPLE,” a Chicago-based not-for-profit organization and multiverse channel dedicated to removing barriers to healthcare access.  Soenen is also the COO of AMPERS Radio Association in Minnesota, but the views she expressed in this podcast are solely her own. This is the second episode in a two-part series with Kimberly Soenen.

YOU ARE KILLING ARTS; Hunter Biden's Useless Trial; AMERICANs are dying Karel Cast 24-65

Spotify is increasing their fee by $3 a month. The owner, Ek, is worth $3.5 billion dollars, more than any artist on his platform including Paul McCartney or Taylor Swift. They pay crap to the artists. Streaming platforms are killing the theaters…or…are they? I know the real reason all this is happening and it's not them, it's YOU.

Hunter Biden's trial has begun. Even Lindsay Graham knows it's a sham. Only two percent of these offenses go to trial. Two percent. So why Hunter? He's not getting the same treatment under the law as others. It's revenge. And it sucks.

61% of Americans over the next 26 years will develop cardiovascular disease, Ozempic be damned. But why? And can it be stopped?

Cyndi Lauper announced her farewell tour and it has me in the dumps. I'll tell you why.
