Over the weekend, Devin Nunes appeared on Fox News and was asked to express his remarks in regards to President Biden’s recent performance on CNN’s town hall event. What should've been a well formulated and grounded interview quickly devolved into something entirely conspiratorial, so conspiratorial in fact that I quickly doubted Nune’s mental state and cognitive ability given his level of education. Let’s also note that it has become very commonplace for Fox News to host far right Republicans and correspondents, namely to disparage President Biden and Democrats almost on a daily basis. Most often this is based on contrived nonsense, and in this particular interview Nunes delivered more distorted views to add to the Fox machine of constant propaganda.

The Border Wall continues to be a political football both at the National & State level, intertwined into an all too familiar Republican strategy which is to: invent a crisis, foment fear instead of debate, and followed by blaming Democrats for the nonexistent problem.

If you remember, and many of you haven’t forgotten I’m sure, one of Trump's central political platforms during his campaign for office was the need to continue construction of the Border Wall. Laughingly, one of his reasons for stumping for the Border Wall was because, and I’m paraphrasing here “Mexico wasn’t sending us their best, they were sending us their criminals and rapists, and some he presumed were good people.” Rather than presenting any clearcut and researched reasons for building the wall, he relied or essentially, invented a strawman, drawing on purely anecdotal reasons, where he hoped it would clinch the Presidency.

Not a week goes by that Republican Representative from the state Colorado, Lauren Boebert, is quoted as saying something truly unfounded or just bordering on stupid. I, just like many of my listeners, are left completely speechless at anything that Borbert says or posts on Twitter week after week because of the pattern of weirdness associated with her.

This week, Boebert asked a question during a House Budget Committee hearing. I'll preface this by stating that in what alternate reality do her thoughts emanate from? Frankly, I’m puzzled.

The so-called election audit in Maricopa County, Arizona, which began on April 23, nearly six months after President Joe Biden won Arizona by nearly 10,500 votes and Maricopa County by over 45,100 votes, has been mired in controversy from the very beginning and has evolved into something more sinister.

One of the concerns raised from the onset is who is going to pay for this audit? Would the burden of the cost fall on the taxpayers once again?

This piece of legislation was derived as a response to two crises facing our country: the ongoing attack on democracy — reflected in the assault on the Capitol on January 6 and of course the subsequent flood of vote suppression bills enacted across the country — both affect racial justice in this country. The For the People Act is based on the notion that the best way to defend democracy is to strengthen democracy. If this piece of legislation is enacted, it would end up being the most significant voting rights and democracy reform in more than half a century.

The “For the People Act” was conceived to ensure that those voting rights are expanded and not diminished, and that accessibility to the ballot box for all eligible Americans remains intact. Here’s what we know of what this act will do for us all.

We have Mitch McConnell admonishing corporations that inserted themselves in the affairs of the state, but then he changes his course completely, where he reaffirms to corporations that their actions are fine, provided they read the bills before reacting. with Americans to not forego mitigation measures.

As we begin to make sense of this, a question we should ask ourselves again: Are corporations’ people? The U.S. Supreme Court says they are, at least for some purposes. It should be noted that in the past 21 years, the high court has dramatically expanded corporate rights in all manner of ways.

On Tuesday February the 18 thousands of fast-food workers will walk out of their jobs in hopes that their actions will help push thru a minimum wage raise of $15 dollars that essentially benefits millions of workers in general.

This will not be the first time that fast food workers have chosen to coalesce and strike for better wages, in fact fast food workers participated in a very effective similar effort about 9 years ago. That particular strike sparked other similar efforts all across America and in many countries, where workers sought similar wage raises.

Why is it at this time, necessary to increase the minimum wage again to $15.00 an hour?

Texas Greg Governor Abbott announced on Tuesday March the 2nd that he signed an executive order which effectively opens all businesses on March 10th, to operate at 100% capacity, and that masks will no longer be required to be worn in public places as well.

So, what this means is that all sporting events, concerts, restaurants, etc. can operate freely with no restrictions: gone will be social distancing requirements, no limits on capacity and also no masks are necessary.

Furthermore, Abbott says that no one will be jailed for not following mask orders and impose fines on people for failing to wear masks. Additionally, businesses would not be penalized for not mandating that customers or employees wear masks.

That being said, Spring Break is just around the corner, the pandemic is not over and we have multiple new strains that have appeared in the country that are far more contagious. It is time to brace yourselves folks!

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic scientists raced to produce a vaccine so that Americans would be protected from getting infected with the virus.

Initially, we did not have a clear understanding of the virus and the mechanisms as to how it spread. But throughout that whole process we soon found out that handwashing and the use of masks would be a critical component that helped contain the virus before a vaccine would be developed, and subsequently rushed to the masses. Within a short amount of time, the public made a mad rush to purchase whatever masks and hand sanitizers they could find, triggering so much demand that it even impacted availability of PPE for frontline health care professionals.

The topic of this episode is to shed light on the efforts it took to nearly eradicate polio and that eventually the nation pulled together to achieve herd immunity. There was a visible, concerted community and business driven effort then and even now there are a number of businesses that chose to continue to require social distancing and masks

Moreover, sometimes, it becomes necessary turn back the pages of history to remind us that pandemics, such the coronavirus, were not the first global infectious agents that have ravaged entire populations. People responded to each and every pandemic or epidemic, which became lessons learned, sadly we seemed to have forgotten just that.

The phrase, “Stop the Steal” first emanated back to the 2016 election and was attributed, and popularized, by none other than Trump confidant and convicted felon, Roger Stone.

We know that the Stop the Steal movement mobilized people to act and many did so by showing up to ballot counting sites brandishing protest signs and some interfered with the voting counting process, and many harass and threatened elected officials.

A question then arises, is there a connection between the Stop the Steal movement and the insurrectionist attack on the US Capitol on January 6th?
