WARNING! This podcast is a prime example of elected officials and a city administration NOT listening to the people in order to protect the incompetent and special interests at the expense of citizens, their lives, and property.

Developers spent upwards of $2 million buying our City Council, and they are delivering as programmed - not only that, Councilmember Risley and Councilmember Leinweber are boldly saying we need to approve these developments faster as their citizens stand before them in tears. So, we must have a fund ready to file lawsuits on the most egregious developments that risk human and animal life. It's our only hope, and if everyone gives just a little, it can grow to be a significant fund to help stop these continual risks to our public safety until we get better leadership. Isn't it worth it to skip a latte or burger for a day and donate that to save lives? Legal Defense Fund (we are tax deductible): http://spot.fund/rnqn7sc

This is our first foray into Zoom if things sound a little different.

The 1/6 Commission was killed in the Senate by Mitch, "Do me a favor", McConnell. (He forget the word "though). When he swore an oath to defend the Constitution, who's Constitution is it? It definitely wasn't the good ol' U.S. of A.

What are the main tenants of Qanon? Care to take a guess? What are the four camps that the Republicans fall into? What's this "Save the Country" stuff that's going on? Save the country from whom? Should we try the insurrectionists? Lindsay Graham gives a "Head Snapping" interview.

Bad news: The U.S. is slowing down.

Our very own Congressional Insurrectionist (Doug Lamborn) got caught up in a lawsuit against him for "endangering" his staff.

Does California gets its special emissions exemption back? The states that followed it can breathe a sigh of relief. We touch briefly on the "Welfare States", you know the ones that take and take and take and still complain about "Big Government."

Corporation might be changing their position on the Republican Party and its candidates. It's about time. They've been leaving dollars on the table for decades. Marjorie Taylor Green wants to debate AOC on the subject of the Green New Deal. Now that would be worth the price of admission to see MTG get ripped a "new one." Republicans are still trying to "spin" 01/02/2021. When do you think they'll give it up? Senator Hawley is still making an A$$ of himself. He can't help it.

Get the facts on the Executive Orders on Gun Control. Definitely not what the media is putting out. Is Bidenomics good or bad for the economy and the country. Joe's putting a different spin on his economic plan and you might like it. We have the facts. The Pentagon Budget is out there. What will the final budget look like. Does the Department of Defense need to open up? Is there enough transparency? Are "We" the Government? Will there be more reconciliation on legislation in the future? Looks like a corporate tax increase is in the offing. What will the revenue increase be used for?

Does the U.S. have the capability to fend off the Covid variants? What will stop us? Three states are stocking up on "Execution Drugs." Why? The money spent on "Executions Drugs" can be better spent elsewhere. Colorado's voting system is discussed.

Rank Choice Voting is moving in the Colorado State House. It's through 2 committees already. Tax filing date has been moved to 5/17. Homeless people get a windfall. The Foreign Influence Act is progressing in the Colorado State House. Spain is going for a 4 day work week. Should we try it here? What's Mom worth? Are we heading for universal pre-K? The FBI is going to be looking into a sham investigation.

Boebert speaks. What did she say? Tours? Investigations? State Senator Paul Lundeen is trying his hand at Voter Suppression. Did the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) give him this piece of legislation? With the best voting system in the country, Lundeen wants to try this? People of Colorado Senate District #9, vote this guy out! The Weapon of Mass Obstruction is trying to burn the U.S. Senate down. Senator Lindsay Graham says he'll Filibuster. I'd like to see the old windbag do it. Get the popcorn.

The B.1.1.7 Covid-19 variant is not too kind to kids. Parents watch out! Something else might be coming home besides homework. The Mississippi governor is turning down Covid-19 relief money. Says it's "Socialistic." One hundred seventy-two Republicans voted against the Violence Against Women's Act. What are they thinking? Time for their wives and significant others to send them packing. Asian hate crimes? Bad news for the country.

The American Recovery Act passes. Merrick Garland is now head of DOJ. The Troops are out there administering vaccine shots. The President gives a good speech. Two high ranking personnel are elevated to the rank of 4 star. Biden shows empathy and compassion. Your local police have been cut off from acquiring military hardware. It's about time. Katie Porter and Congressman Tim Ryan shine. The CDC says we can begin to get together. It'll be Touchy Feely Time in the near future. Yea!

The not so Good News begins with Congressman Lamborn sending out his propaganda. Whine Whine Whine. Florida's Rick Scott is advise cities and state to do what? Is Day Light Saving Time still relevant? Women vs. Men?

Will China take over Taiwan in the near future? Where does Guam fit into this picture? Marjory Taylor-Green wants to cut off all foreign aid to Guam. Do you think that's a good idea? What are the origins of the Space Force and when did they begin? An old recycled idea? Planned Parenthood cut off in Texas. What's the penalty for running into a crowd with your car in Oklahoma?

Congressman Doug Lamborn has a conniption fit over H.R.1 For The People Act. We take his words and discuss why he's wrong. Do you have a problem with giving people the right to vote unimpeded? Stopping Voter Suppression? A move toward true Democracy?

Good News: T**** wasn't inaugurated on March 4 as some of his followers anticipated. In fact, it was one of his smallest crowd sizes. That must really hurt his ego. There's going to be plenty of Covid-19 vaccines in the near future. Universal Basic Income was a good success. Will it work nationwide? Is it needed? A new Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF) is coming. That's really Good News.

Will Texas become a Super Spreader state along with a few others? Write a big enough campaign check and you too can have a Pop-Up vaccine station in your community. There's another view of the employment situation. Are the jobs that have been lost to Covid-19 really coming back? It's 251 years since what event took place?

Good News: El Paso county may become its own congressional district. How will that bode for the demographic make up of Congressional District 5? Will it start to lean a little more (?) with the influx of new residents?

Looks like Louis DeJoy may be heading for the unemployment line in the very near future. Will the DOJ be waiting to have some discussions with him about tampering with an election and tampering with the U.S. Postal Service? The CPAC people are back in the Idol Worshipping Business again. Won't they ever learn? The lightning will strike in 5,4,3,2,.......

Lindsay Graham shows us his ignorance when it comes to business. That's right! He's never held a "real" job. The $15/hr. minimum wage will have to find another vehicle for passage. There's a discussion on the Filibuster. Lamborn is spamming us again.

Merrick Garland has made a personal sacrifice. Too bad some our members of Congress won't do the same. i.e. Cruz to resign. Hawley to go back the Stanford and open a book.

Those that are looking for new zoning laws regarding infill and environmental issues, look at who your main opposition is. Surprise!

Real News is picking up at an accelerated rate. Makes "Warp Speed" seem like a cat slow walking in front of you. Hurry up.! Get out of the way.

Faith based organizations are stepping up. Not for what you think. Evangelical organizations are not participating. Why not? Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has really stepped in it and on it. See what Pride and Greed can get you? New realms of physical and financial pain. They proved they are not Reliable. Find out who's really helping the citizens of the Great State of Texas. There's a surprise or two here. Could there be some "Profiteering" going on here? Understand there's some "kicking people" while they're down. Ever hear of a Dan Crenshaw (TX 2nd congressional district)? You will.

Is the Pentagon beginning to weed out extremists from its ranks? Who's advice will they be following? You'll hear about Capital Police issues. What's this about a 911 style commission investigating the 01/06/2021 "impromptu party" at the Nation's capital? Immigration changes are in the pipeline.

Where does oil come from? Colorado Springs a top tourist destination? Really?

We open a Hot Mic session with (Unintentional) sounds of the past. The Citizens Conservation Corp is coming back with the help of President Biden. It's one way to put people back to work and give them the dignity of a job. This isn't welfare, folks.

The state of Georgia is ramping up a grand jury for indictments doing with the tampering of an election and threating public officials. Tennessee has gone off the rails. Don't those legislators have anything better to do?

Good News: FCC looks to making internet more affordable. Are higher speeds in our future at a lower cost? The Postal Board gets a new chair (look for BIG changes there). The National Labor Relations Board is rescinding anti-union rules that were passed in the prior administration.

Of course, we had to discuss the Impeachment Trial. As you can see, we've put it on the bottom of our list. Time to move on.

FORMER Vice-President Pence gets a job? The X-President's new temporary home is in Florida? Will the FORMER President be the FIRST Witness at his impeachment trial? Are there some EGO problems here? A unionized Amazon? SecDef is cleaning house. Isn't it about time?

Liz Cheney is sticking around, yet 61 of her fellow Republicans want her gone. Too bad we can't say the same for Greene. Boebert is caught in some campaign finance issues. Will this be her undoing? Is Lamborn officially an Insurrectionist? Are voter suppression laws in our future? Nationwide? HR-1? What is going on in Arizona? Weld County wants to secede from Colorado. See what legalizing Marijuana has done? Too much Wacky Tobbacky?

More immigrants coming our way? Will immigrant children finally be reunited with their parents? Good News: Puerto Rico is finally getting funding to rebuild. Thank you Mr. President. Have you checked out Mitt Romney's proposal? We discuss your body. What? How dare you?

Science is back. Is diplomacy back? Will the Obama Presidential Library finally get under way?

The Biden administration is moving ahead with repairing the damage of the prior administration. The changes course through this episode are clearly explained. There are more briefings keeping us all informed. As Dee says, "No more news via Twitter." The federal government is going "Green" with changing the fleet of vehicles it owns procuring electric vehicles that will put hundreds of people to work. Its' about time, don't you think? Buy American! The President has a chance to eliminate subsidies for oil, gas, and coal. The subsidies are pocket change, right? No They're NOT! DOJ is getting out of the private prison business and none to soon.

Now with the good news: The Trump brand is stained and tarnished beyond all recognition. Reasons are given. T* appointees to the Defense Department have been denied. The New York State Bar has kicked Rudy Giuliani to the curb. The White House 'spin' doctor has been fired. Is T dead politically? Can QAnon financially support T***'s fantasies?

How has the BLM move from Washington D.C. worked out? Everybody was thrilled with the idea, right? Sure! Give us your thoughts on "Recurring Checks." Good idea or Bad? Amazon is getting into Machine Learning with a leading university (USC). Covid-19 and its variants are still causing problems.

A new president and the changes are happening at Warp Speed (not to be confused with the last administration). Things are really changing for the good. Dee lists them as they are too numerous to list here.

Dr. Fauci has been set free. Science, Data, and Facts. We can't hold him back now. Which state is doing the best regarding Covid-19 distribution? You might be surprised.

Senators Cruz and Howely are catching the heat. Are they smart enough to feel it? Congresswoman Boebert and Congressman Lamborn, of the Colorado 3rd and 5th respectively, received a letter from retired judges, lawyers, and former military personnel, and it wasn't to praise them for their taking a stand to not certify the 2020 presidential election. State House District 60 member Ron Hanks was one of locally elected officials that attended the January 6th Insurrection Party. He apparently was a counterintelligence agent but by his web page, you'd never know it.

People who feel their working conditions are unsafe, can collect unemployment insurance. No kidding! The Keystone XL pipeline? Well it's been stopped. Life is being breathed back into OSHA. About time.

Twenty-eight members of T**** entourage have been sanctioned by China. This includes former Secretary of State Pompeo and former head of HHS Alex Azar. They were so looking forward to their trip to Macao and Hong Kong with their wives for a shopping and gambling spree.

QAnon is losing its Humph! Apparently some of its members are disillusioned. I wonder why? Care to take a guess?

Are the Capitol Police responsible for the protection of Congress? What does the chain of command look like. Who's in that chain? Is Congressman Doug Lamborn really doing his job? What does he support? The Rule of Law? The Insurrectionists? Is it in character for Lamborn to go groveling to a Democratic President for a favor? Is Lamborn a hinderance?

The Space Force: What's the intended mission? What is the reality? Are we wasting money on this project? Will it get us the right technology for the future or will the U.S. play catchup with the rest of the world?

Will the Congress lose a freshman member from Colorado before the spring thaw? Will there be more violence against moderate members of the Republican Party? Is the Republican Party sticking with QAnon? Is this the suicide of the Republican Party?

Not much happening this past week. In fact it was a real snooze. We had a little Good News and a little Not So Good News. There was something about a riot. But thought it was one of T****'s rallies. Understand that Senator Cruz (TX) and Senator Hawley (MO) maybe will take a hike? What's this about congress critters trying to change the vote?

We officially have a new President and Vice-President. Just need to get them inaugurated. Will there finally be help for small businesses? The people? Is there another impeachment trial coming? Article One? What is James Madison saying? What can you take with you when leaving government service? Has the Presidential Metal of Freedom been degraded to the point where it's no longer valued? Will the Voting Rights Act go nationwide? Will Republican Senators break and join the Democrats?

It's our 45th podcast of the year and this episode is crammed with happenings of the day. From A to Z. Allergies. China. Christmas. Compromised. Covid-19. Der Spiegel. Distribution. Doctor. First. Foreign. Georgia. Hack. Happy. Ho. Immune. Know. Loser. Merry. Moderna. Music. People. Pfizer. Prisons. Russia. System. Tax. Transplant. Trickle. Uninformed. Union. Voter. Warp.

Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. Happy Holidays. Kwanzaa.

Steven Mnuchin was having a battle of wits with Congresswoman Katie Porter. Unfortunately for him, he was shooting blanks. Poor Betsy DeVos struggling to keep up with the Jones's. Congressman Doug Lamborn dishes out some of his low grade BS. We've been waiting for him to improve the quality so as it may a little more palatable. Can you believe Lamborn signed on to the TX attorney generals lawsuit in invalidate the voters of Georgia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan? Why do the electors of Colorado CD-5 keep electing this guy? He's stained for life.

It's party time. Get ready to count the increase in Covid-19 cases. Some Covid-19 deniers get "Good Vibrations" and we're not talking about the Beach Boys here. McConnell is doing his darnedest to put the U.S. economy in the toilet. A huge mess.

Foreign Affairs magazine says we're not prepared for a future confrontation with China (Don't worry. This won't happen in the immediate future). What's keeping Russia in the game? It sure isn't its economy.

Good scoop on Covid-19 vaccine and the information you need. But how did we get to Costa Rica? Well, we did and did a lot of fill in starting with: Pence speaks; El Paso county is a Red Zone; What's this hugging the flag? Are we turning into a vengeful country? What's this threatening poll workers? Good news: Mary Jane is a medicine; Want to hear a Wacky Story? What is rich peoples yacht money? Rural counties aren't all T**** counties.

Should we end military support to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates? Apparently they haven't been playing fair. ANWAR is back in the news. Put your name in for a pardon. Apparently it's a fad that is taking hold. Should "Blabber Mouth" be allowed into secret briefings after 1/20/2021? Is the FBI happy about it?

Our guest, John Foley, takes us to the Dark Side--the really Dark Side. Shadow Wars. Things you didn't know about Ballistic Missile Defense. Weapons deals. Militia groups. Scorched earth. The Space Force?

On the lighter side we talk about Dis-information, Social Media, the SPLC & ADL and Libertarians.

Note: The quality of the sound may be a little wonky, but one of us was on a cell phone during this podcast.

Will the Lincoln Project fold up its tent never to be heard from again? Isn't there more work to be done regarding the intransient Republican Senators? Has the train to Fascism been derailed? What are the odds of Trump running in 2024? Won't his attention be drawn to other arenas? NY. Manhattan.

A $284 Billion deficit. Covid-19 fees. El Paso County is increasingly turning Blue. Vaccine. Suffering. Lockdown. Will there be a Covid-19 relief package?

So much is crammed into the episode. Tallying the voters. What has happened in the House and Senate? Oregon takes a big step forward. We bid a fond farewell to Cory Gardner. Ballot issue results are discussed. Rank Choice Voting has some good news. Is there a difference between a toll road's management and that of a Bingo game?

Concerns over Covid-19. The states of Nevada, Louisiana, Ohio, Hawaii, Rhode Island, Mississippi and Oklahoma have some surprises.

How do you feel about a General Strike? Looks like Labor is planning on one. We discovered our "Do Nothing" Congressman, Doug Lamborn, is maintaining his status of "Doing Nothing." Why do the voters keep him around? What a waste. How bad is the hollowing out of our institutions?

On a positive note: We discuss the makeup of the new cabinet of the President. If we're wrong, we'll issue a retraction. Sure! Right! Huh Huh! Have you heard of the Covid-19 Tracker? It's real and it's Good News. Funny how Trump isn't knocking the government run healthcare that he's receiving. Isn't he praising it? Wouldn't you like to have it during the Pandemic?

For a comedy bit, Lyn brings up Larry Kudlow. How about no political appointments to Ambassadorships? Let's dispense with the "Amateur Hour." Trump rallies are deadly.

How do you debate a Liar in Chief? Will there be a hue change in Texas? Idaho has a peck of troubles. Guess who brought them on? State Supreme Courts: Are they going against the voting public? Democratic cities are pulling their weight. Red State Socialism: How's that working out for the Takers? Military families: Guess who they're supporting this election cycle? The Commander in Chief?

QAnon, Gelinas, Watkins, Borbert. What do they have in common? Congressman Doug Lamborn is trying to pull the wool over our eyes. But, we caught him cold trying to fool us. Will there be life for the Space Force after the election? Does anybody know whether it will be a defensive or exploratory organization?

Remdesivir: The domestic health people say one thing and the World Health Organization says another. Confused? You should be.

Kent Jarnig of the El Paso County Colorado Progressive Veterans (EPCCPV.org) association takes us through some of the policies of the Veterans Administration and how his organization helps Active Duty, Veterans and their dependents wade through the VA system. One of the requirements is Patience. Lots of Patience. You'll learn that one of your assets to accomplish your goal is your U.S. Senator. In our case here in Colorado Springs, we learn that our congressman doesn't really give two hoots about vets and their families.

We finish up with Sports Rifles, the demographic changes in Colorado Springs, the election, zoning, affordable housing, Americans For Prosperity (Who's), and TABOR.

You'll have to excuse the quality of the recording as the Technical Boogie Man raised his ugly head.

NHS Wales. Ever hear of it? It's the National Health Service of Wales that is fully funded by taxes from the general fund. How dare they lecture our "Dear Leader" on how to treat the Coronavirus. His new healthcare program will be Greater and Better that Wales. Look for your $200 discount card for prescription in the mail. Coming soon. Yeah, right! Sure! Believe it when you see it!

Universal Basic Income (UBI) is gaining momentum as it should. Was fetal tissue used in one of the Covid-19 drugs given to Trump? Will the Evangelical community clutch their pearls at this news? Will that mean, that along with the anti-vaxers, the Evangelicals will not get vaccinated? Watch the spread. Lamborn holds a fund raising event when he flew back to Colorado Springs. Two of his staffers in DC have tested positive.

Cory Gardner is a climate change denier? And he's from Colorado. The candidate for the Supreme Court is a Rhoades scholar. Not that Rhoades scholar. Should oil and electricity be nationalized? The Lincoln Project gives insight into Florida voting.

Jillian Freeland gets a free boost from the gang. Learn about VIP medicine. Colorado Springs Utilities, is it a forward looking organization?

Word of the day: Schadenfreude

Ballot Issues: We'll start with the easy stuff. The Gallagher Amendment, State Income Tax Reduction, Family Paid Leave, Abortion, Citizenship Qualification (what's this doing on the ballot?), Taxes on Nicotine products, National Popular Vote, Grey Wolves. We discussed, hashed over, and on some issues, came to no conclusion. You'll just have to figure it out for yourselves.

Now the WTF categories: White Supremacy, Trump in the hospital, unhealthy, playing the martyr, stiff upper lip, the Proud Boys, Cory Gardner, Secret Service running out of agents, lies, 25th amendment. You call that a debate?

What are the Latinos doing during this election cycle. The Lincoln Project brings us up to date. Is there a chance to flip the Texas legislature? What's with the Texas drop boxes? The Florida Sec of State is trying to be cute and create law on the fly? The country is in flux. How large is the undecided voter pool? Biden gets a 9% swing in Georgia to the positive. That's good news.

Doug Lamborn is upset with San Francisco State University. What business is it of his? He claims federal dollars are being spent. How would he know? Cory Gardner is quiet about his receiving $24,000 from the JBS brothers. Will Cory be known by the company he keeps? At least, Michael Bennett had the common sense to return the money to JBS' PAC, whereas Cory is hiding somewhere. California is banning the internal combustion engine. Texas & Arizona are going for renewable energy?

What is the Expresso Supreme Court? RBG has a lot of accomplishments under her belt. Let's not forget them. Should she have retired 7 years ago? Hard to tell. None of us have a crystal ball. The Trump campaign is using Russian military aircraft in their ads. Shows you where his loyalty is. Bernie Sanders comes out with a strong message. We will ALL hear it?

Rural hospitals have hit another financial roadblock thanks to a poorly written law. Will Medicare withhold payments? Will more close putting a strain and an already overtaxed healthcare system? The South Dakota attorney general hits a deer. Or was it? Our WTF moment: The Pentagon taking money for masks and swabs and purchasing aircraft engine parts and body armor. Their excuses are inexcusable.

Lyn went out on a limb unknowingly when we were discussing the 20 Supreme Court nominees that Trump is suggesting with the help of the Federalist Society. (Self-dealing Jerks). Four GOP senators are lying in their re-election ad about pre-existing conditions. Who's going to step up and bankroll Trumps financially distress campaign? Can we believe the rules coming out of the CDC? Getting real on the Covid-19 vaccine. Do you know what "Shedding" is? UN investigations. Doug Lamborn. What are we wasting out time? Jillian Freeland.

A side benefit from Covid-19. An increase in High School drop-outs. Did we say it was good? Did you know that the USPS was going to deliver free masks to the hardest hit areas of the country? Guess who squashed it. Election illegitimate? Small detail: The elections are run by the states. Disappointing isn't it for Trump & Co. Should we be concerned over the Hickenlooper campaign?

Is the son of Dr. Mengele working with a privately run ICE detention center? How can we, as a country, allow this to happen? Speak up, people!

You thought last week couldn't get any worst? Well it did. "We're 28th!" Yeah! Three of the four Republican candidates running for president in 2024 are No-Loads from the last campaign. Give it up, Fellas. The head of Medicare/Medicaid got caught with her hand in the cookie jar. The Feds have picked up Fraudsters trying to get PPP monies. Trump's running out of money for his campaign. The labor market is struggling and there are no new job creations. One of the local colleges is a Covid-19 hot spot.

Trump had a GO-Around with Murdoch of Faux News (?). Did it go well? Talk about Pissing the Pope Off? Trump called our soldiers who lost their lives in battle, Losers and Suckers. There's a couple of million votes Trump cannot count on. They vote absentee don't they? Postmaster General DeJoy is funneling taxpayer money into his pocket.

Should the U.S. have a Grand Strategy of Resilience? Dee has some Good News and some Bad News (Isn't the above enough for her?). There's more. The Woodward tapes?

Sen. Rand Paul graces us with his Pearls of Wisdom. Excuse me. We'll pass. Is another government shutdown in our future? October 1st is coming. Airlines are contemplating lay-offs October 1st.. Why? How many? Will the unemployment rate tick up right before the election. We're not going to call it a coronation. Does the stock market reflect YOUR economic circumstances? The Post Office again.

Focus on the Family is a Covid-19 hot spot. Will reserve our comments. Covid-19 deaths aren't as high as reported. Is there data manipulation going on here? Is the CDC downplaying the statistics? Cory Gardner & Ken Buck seen at a gun rally sans masks and social distancing. Check out Buck's "T" shirt. Trump really stepped on his "Crank" this time insulting our troops. Might be a non-recoverable situation for him. Will the election be contested and what about exit polls?

Dung Lamborn is remaining silent. Where does he stand on the Post Office, insulting our troops, the coming possible government shut down, payroll tax and the other myriad issues of the day? We don't know. If you see him, ask and let us know.

Sex scandals on the religious right. Militia telling the police what to do. Police departments infiltrated by white supremacists & racists. Lots of lies at the Republican National Convention. Conspiracy theorists. Eating children. QAnon. Covid-19 is over. Bogus Covid-19 data. Independents think Biden isn't progressive enough. Kanya West? Is Covid-19 finally finishing off the marginal shopping malls? You know, the ones that are half empty now. Companies are on a Silencing Spree. Do you work for one?

Now on the good side. The Cyber Command is doing a good job. What are the postal workers doing? Giving DeJoy the middle finger? Cincinnati's Choice Legislation is a good thing and right for the times. What is the Dunning-Kruger Effect? This you might like.

Big News from one of Colorado Spring's school districts. Did say it was Good News?

From Foreign Affairs: Weak labor protections harm workers in a Covid-19 environment. With the loss of jobs will the consuming economy come back? Are there more lay-offs coming in October in time for the election? With Trumps ignoring Covid-19 is he fostering Ethnic Cleansing? The Susan B. Anthony museum tells Trump to "Take A Hike!" Has the myth of the U.S. having the best medical care in the world been laid to rest with Covid-19?

The Senate Intelligence committee recommends charges to be levied against...................(you'll just have to listen). No surprises here. Steve Bannon has been arrested by a postal inspector for.................(you'll just have to listen). Trump will not help California with its numerous fires because...................They didn't sweep the forest floors. WTF! Some Fox infotainment folks gave Joe Biden's speech a "Thumbs UP!" Trump says he'll decide the election. Sure! Right! Huh Huh! Can't get him out of his fantasy worlds.

Lyn just lead us into the Explicit Zone with his comments on a Faux Not-So News host. Yes! WE have crossed the line. Dee follows up with siding with Congressman Louie Gomert and a suggestion. Scary! The Tennessee legislature is trying to take away First Amendment rights of its citizens. Dolly Parton has a comment on that, Who is Nathan Bedford Forest? Boo Hoo to the Tennessee legislators.

How can a drive-thru Covid-19 test go from $175 to $2479? If you're going to Texas, stay out their free standing Emergency Rooms that act like Covid-19 testing sights. You'll really get your wallet lightened there and no dieting necessary. Will QAnon candidates live to be elected to Congress? Only time will tell. Supreme Court comes through for the little guy. Lots of "tell all" books coming out.

Schools are opening and closing faster than a moving June Bug. I thought children couldn't get the Coronavirus? Opps! Psst! What's that? They can? The Lie Count is heading to the stratosphere. Are there any regrets? Hmm!

Trump has declared Joe Biden Omnipotent. Yeah, that's right Omnipotent. How who have thought? A born and bred boy of a working class family of Scranton, PA Omnipotent. Maybe Trump can pick the 15th Dalai Lama?

A(nother) Covid-19 update for Colorado. Congressman Louie Gomert gets Covid-19 and begins paddling up that River Denial as fast as he can. What's getting lost in this cycle is the Census. Trump's Lie count continues into the stratosphere.

Are the latest employment numbers telling the real story or is this a scenario of "Smoke & Mirrors?" Is Mitch McConnell single-handedly pushing the country off a cliff? Social Security and Medicare are being attacked. Michelle O is concerned about depression. Are you even slightly depressed?

Dee, Lyn & Gary mull over VP picks. And that sound you hear could be the "Last Gasps" of the NRA.

We open today's episode with a first person account who currently has Covid-19. You hear the frustration in their words and the difficulty coping. They're your typical family with a working husband, housewife, and 3 kids. The members of the Klamath Indian tribe plus 3 other tribes are treated shabbily by David Burnhardt, the Interior Secretary. Did we mention that he's a darling of the oil & gas industry taking care of our public lands? Yeah. Right! Lamborn graces us with his usual El Toro Doo Doo. You won't believe what he's espousing. We knows he doesn't write this stuff.

Lyn goes on a rant about "Ethnic Cleansing." People will be losing their Covid-19 protections. What will they do? What will the government do? More newly homeless on our streets? Will there be a second relief package on it's way or is Moscow Mitch going to be the one to steal Christmas in August?

Former Ohio governor John Kasich and columnist George Will (prominent Republicans and conservatives), will be voting for Joe Biden. Will there be a Supreme Court vacancy? Who will it be?

Another busy week with the Supreme Court getting ridiculous. Three churches are suing because they can't sing or chant. Guess they don't care about the flock. Is Colorado getting all the medical supplies to fight Covid-19? What will be the economic impact with the supplement $600/week going away? A lackey is now running the United States Postal Service. How much damage can he do before Jan 2021? Same for the Voice of America.

Ivanka Trump with her words of wisdom for the unemployed. What a Twit! What is going on in Portland, OR? Is Trump's tax audit finally over? A good authority says it is. The Trump Oklahoma rally has produced a sick politician. Only one? Local businesses that took Covid-19 monies. Should they have?

Word Du Jour: Fiduciary

Quote of the Day: You will just have to listen.

We open today with a Hot Mic segment and The Lincoln Project. You know. The outfit that does those burner political ads? Steve Schmidt. Rick Wilson. George T. Conway. Jennifer Horn. John Weaver.

SCOTUS was in the news several times this week and the citizens may have picked up a couple of wins. Dee gives us the details. The Lie meter hasn't pegged yet, but it's getting close. Ever hear of Air Bridge? Well, get the latest on Jarad Kushner's monumental screw up. He couldn't organize a one person birthday party without failing.

Pssst! We can get you a good deal on a slightly used Cruise Ship. No questions asked. You just need a place to dock it. Is the economy beginning to tank again? International students? What is their status? Voice of America is going through some changes and it appears not for the good.

We're getting a new class of Welfare Queens. They're churches and non-profits. Tenet Health, a for profit healthcare provider, is really raking in the bucks from the taxpayers. Along with the Catholic Church. We have two right here in Colorado Springs that are on the dole.

The Pikes Peak Library District is being a good citizen organization. Dee has the details. Let's hear for the PPLD! Thank you for taking care of our citizens.

Word Du Jour: Distraction

Another fun filled week of news about FEMA, CBO projections, Florida's Coronavirus spiking higher that all the EU countries combined. "Nothing like leading the world here, Heh, Florida?" What happened to the world's largest pension fund? Better call your broker after listening to this podcast. Don't waste any time.

AT&T, Wal-mart, and United Healthcare on the dole? Yep, they are! Gilead is bringing their Covid-19 drug to market for a very reasonable price. Yeah, right! Tic Tok is at it again and ;you'll be surprised who started this one. A regular "Chip off the Old Block."

The Lincoln Project, Bush Republicans, and Republican Voters Against Trump are circling the wagons. For what purpose? Doug Lamborn is voting against HR-2, an infrastructure package. His reasoning doesn't match the good that it can do for the country. Wouldn't you like better public transportation?

Word of the day: Bohemian.

Impeachment of AG Barr. Is his Unitary Executive just another word for Dictator? Trumps' bill$ are coming due. Will he take another run at taxpayer monies before the election? Eighteen myths about Covid-19. The FDA has sanitizer information for you. The Fed is propping up healthy businesses and Zombie businesses. What will happen to these businesses when the Fed stops purchasing their corporate bonds and assuming their debt (Junk Bonds)? Market crash or Market adjustment? What do Tulsa, OK, K-Pop, and a disclaimer all have in common? Did Trump want conflict in Tulsa? Trump is defunding Covid-19 testing. Why? Who will get hurt the most? Texas? Florida? Doug Lamborn issues his usual pap. Arrgh!
