Political Sanity: Recent Episodes
Mitch
I’m at a crossroads, again. Do I become a wellness coach or a movie actor? What about you?
Our politics are so volatile. I’m fed up with the GOP and much of the madness. Yet, how do we stop being so angry? How to grow and thrive. That’s where this podcast is going.
Ron DeSantis didn’t quite dress the part for his campaign, hurricane photo op while Hershel Walker’s son tanked his dad’s Senate campaign. Also, let’s talk energy, the woke kind.

I’m participating in a 15 day hypnosis class to achieve more confidence. My experience on day 2 was very weird and pretty good.

In this episode I discuss my experiences with Self Help programs, get interrupted by my son and do a fake commercial.

In this first episode I tell you what this new podcast format is about, how Bill Burr inspired it and the colonoscopy.
The president, thus far, hasn't embarrassed us at DAVOS. He's babbled on a bit about expected nonsense but, the bar is so low that we might get though this event without looking like the imbeciles that we usually appear to be. Hillary, for no rational political reason, is complaining about Bernie. The Senate Impeachment pseudo-version of a trial starts in just a few hours.
Yesterday Congressman Devin Nunes, the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, while being interviewed on Fox News, said that he remembered speaking on the phone with Lev Parnas.
My wife and I have been on a plant based, whole food diet for three days. It's a lot easier than then I thought and, honestly, results happen pretty damn quickly. I know this is crazy but I think its going to help me do a better job writing and talking about politics.
This is pretty crazy stuff and is indicative of a deregulation culture that has lost its collective mind. There are sound reasons for some deregulation in certain industries but, as you'll learn from NPR's reporting, air travel isn't one of them. Check out the podcast and then go to NPR and read the article. Thanks for stopping by.

Did the Trump Administration engage in retribution against the nation of Quatar because Kushner couldn’t make a business deal?
The President made an uninformed announcement today and the White House is reportedly scrambling. Again.

Some analysts think Amazon is going to have a kick ass holiday season. Based on my buying habits this past week, I agree.
Senator Al Franken was accused of sexual assault today. He needs to go....and I'm a progressive.
The tax bill morphing into Obamacare repeal at this moment & Jeff Sessions can only recall things when.......

After Donald's uninformed comment today about extreme vetting for gun purchases, do we need to still take him seriously?
Donald's bumbling today was embarrassing, even when you read the full transcript. But, in the grand scheme of things, no biggie.

The Graham Cassidy bill failed. Is it over? No. The emotional forces behind driving the Repeal and Pretend to Replace movement are too strong.

Today's Presidential Presser was one for the books, the unfunny, distorted comic books.
A Jewish Guy's response to Charlottesville....a few days late....for reasons better then Trump's.
