Kinsley White, Kaylin Gillis, Payton Washington, Heather Roth and Ralph Yarl. These five names should never be forgotten. All five were innocent young people shot simply because they were at the wrong place, somewhere a human being was willing to shoot to kill another human being. Something is desperately wrong here......we discuss and comment on these and also another mass shooting, this time in Alabama.......

With the brief exception of a discussion on the leaked materials, today's podcast focuses on environmental disasters. Some through greed, some because of our unwillingness to make hard choices. Florida floods, California fear of a too fast snow melt, explosion and fire in Indiana and more. We considered what we have wrought upon our home planet.........

In this episode, we discuss the charges that the former president faced. We also looked at issues facing SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas. Commentary on the events in the Tennessee legislature where two young Black members were expelled for not following the chamber's decorum rules and the pushback against the GOP that did not remove a white woman who also was facing the same fate.

In this episode, Karen and I discuss the bombshell division to begin to hold the former president legally accountable for his actions. This is likely the first of several indictments and perhaps may be the most minor of them all. Georgia issues and Federal issues including the fomenting of the January 6 Insurrection may cause legal difficulties for the former president and candidate. We also commented on the ways the GOP is trying to protect him including leading officials of the House majority (remember only 5 votes)...thanks for listening

We look at two upcoming GOP "stars" in this video podcast: Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis.  With Governor DeSantis, we take a closer look at his actions in Florida regarding education, race and women's rights.  We also discuss the GOP plan to hold the Debt Ceiling hostage for budget cuts and what effects that would have on all of America.

Is this podcast, we look at the MLK message in front of the Lincoln Memorial.  This is the famous "I have a Dream" speech.  From excerpts of this speech, we look at where the nation was then, also in the past time since the Emancipation and forward to where we are today.  We are nowhere near achieving his dream, though most of us aspire to that dream (at least we hope so).  This was a frank and open discussion about the inequalities we still see including, housing and especially economic and education as well as the criminal justice system.  We also brought up how some states are limiting the teaching of true racial history so as not to make white people "feel bad".  If history does not makes us uncomfortable at times, we are not learning the real history.  Thanks for watching/listening.

We began this podcast with a quick review of the end of the World Cup Final game.  Congratulations to Argentina and a close and very entertaining end to the premier world "football" championship.  We then discussed the final report of the House Select Committee on January 6th.  The most important point made is that no one is nor should be above the law.  The Committee made referrals in four areas to the DOJ for criminal charges to the former president.  The final charge is the most consequential and hardest to convict - engage in insurrection or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof - at the time of the podcast, the Ways and Means Committee had not yet voted on the former president's tax data being made public.  As we now know, he was not under audit until the Committee requested copies.  Not a good 48 hours........

Discussion of the results of this Tuesday's run off election here in Georgia and what it means for Democrats, GOP, Georgia and Trump.  Herschel Walker was a flawed candidate and would have lost by more if Governor Kemp had not came to his aid during the run-off.  Additional topics discussed were the newly passed Marriage Act and Britney Griner's release.

In the opening segment, we discuss the Georgia Run-Off prior to knowing the successful results.  Much of our podcast is dedicated to the former president's post that the US Constitution should be put aside and. he be made president.  A definite threat to Democracy.  Brief discussion of the success of the UGA SEC championship and future Peach Bowl appearance.....

The first part of our podcast is a discussion about the history and meaning of Veteran's Day (originally Armistice Day).  The second part is commentary on the midterms - no "Red Wave" and still ongoing vote counting in several areas including the Georgia Run Off between incumbent Reverend Raphael Warnock and Trump backed Herschel Walker.  High stakes are still out there.
