Why is Kamala Harris visiting a Washington office rather than a flood site? Why should Jimmy Carter be celebrated for being 100 when his record as president was terrible and his behavior toward Israel appalling? Why isn't Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame? Give a listen.

Terrorism Fans on New York Streets Sep 27, 2024

Show notes

What does it mean that hundreds took over the streets around Grand Central Terminal celebrating Hamas and Hezbollah before others went up Park Avenue to the hotel where Benjamin Netanyahu is staying and started chanting, "We're going to get you"? What does it mean that Kamala Harris is going to the border? What does it mean that Eric Adams wanted airline upgrades so much he might have sold himself to the government of Turkey? Give a listen.

Kamalama Ding Dong Sep 26, 2024

Show notes

Today's podcast examines Kamala Harris's day talking about the economy, first in a speech and then in an MSNBC interview, and comes away...unimpressed. But it wasn't the greatest day for Donald Trump either. Give a listen.

Kamala Better Start Talking Sep 24, 2024

Show notes

There's something happening here; what it is ain't exactly clear. Six weeks until the election and Kamala Harris remains the least-known and least-substantive presidential candidate in American history. Can it remain that way? Can she glide to November? Give a listen.

Just and Unjust Blabbermouths Sep 23, 2024

Show notes

Today's podcast does not look favorably on chin-scratching arguments about how the beeper and walkie-talkie attacks against Hezbollah somehow violate the "laws of war." Also, what's with attacking pollsters for reporting poll results you don't like? Give a listen.

Oprah Gets Involved, Trump Gets Attacked Sep 20, 2024

Show notes

Aside from Oprah having a Kamala lovefest, the political story of the day involves attacks on Donald Trump's words about American Jews. These attacks seem peculiarly related to polling showing the Republican candidate making startling inroads into the Jewish vote, which could have a significant impact in the key state of Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, actual anti-Semitic garbage from the Republican gubernatorial candidate in North Carolina may imperil Trump's presidential bid even more. What's going on? Give a listen.
