November 21, 2021 19:59 - 1 hour - 104 MBIt may seem like apples and oranges, but it’s always surprising to see a party that claims to be anti-abortion rallying so much support behind a miscarriage of justice like we saw in Kenosha this week.

THE FLIES IN THE OINTMENT, THE TURKEYS IN THE WRENCH
November 14, 2021 22:03 - 1 hour - 103 MBWith the indictment of traitorous coward Steve Bannon and an infrastructure bill about to be signed, “Democratic Accomplishments” just might be the sleeper hit of the season!

October 19, 2021 15:20 - 1 hour - 93.9 MBWith income inequality being what it is and the GOP being what *it* is, it’s becoming less surprising that billionaires are going to space than it is that they’re choosing to come back.

August 29, 2021 12:52 - 1 hour - 98.1 MBIt’s nice to know that, no matter how bad things may seem, you can always count on the “good, upstanding, red-blooded Americans” who supported the War on Drugs to take medication that’s intended for animals.

IF YOU CAN’T SPARE A FULL TRANSFORMATION, MAYBE JUST A LITTLE CHANGE?
June 27, 2021 07:17 - 1 hour - 109 MBThey say that negotiating with Congressional Republicans is like going down on a water buffalo.

THE GOP AND THE HIGH (HOLLOW) COST OF LIVING
May 30, 2021 02:29 - 1 hour - 84.3 MBThe calendar tells us that this is the weekend Americans honor those who have given their lives in service to our country but, considering GOP reluctance to investigate the 1/6 insurrection that killed multiple police officers, maybe we should call it “Short-Term Memorial Day.” Cognitive Dissidents Jim Coughlin, “The Black Voice of Reason” Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson share their thoughts on the holiday and a number of other topics while delivering your weekly dose of newsy infotainme...

April 25, 2021 08:53 - 1 hour - 92.8 MBWhile a number of Americans saw the Chauvin verdict as a sign that we’re going to start holding police accountable for their misdeeds, it seems that a number of cops saw it as a sign that they need to get all the murdering out of their systems before he gets sentenced.

VAXXED TO THE FUTURE
April 18, 2021 03:36 - 1 hour - 113 MBThey say that if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. Now, I'm not saying that police in Minnesota *love* to kill unarmed Black men, but it's looking more likely that neither Derek Chauvin nor Kim Potter will ever work another day in their lives. Fortunately, Cognitive Dissidents Katie Massa Kennedy, Liz Stewart, "The Black Voice of Reason" Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson love what we do, and we have yet to kill anyone. It's your weekly dose of newsy infotainment.....

HOW IS JOE BIDEN LIKE DEUTSCHE BANK?
March 21, 2021 09:36 - 1 hour - 106 MBUnderstandably, neither will give Donald Trump the credit he seems to think he deserves.

March 07, 2021 04:16 - 1 hour - 89.4 MBThe Biden Administration must be doing something right because, instead of complaining about their policies, the GOP is whining about “cancel culture,” Dr. Seuss, and potato based toys.

February 07, 2021 05:31 - 1 hour - 96.5 MBWhether it’s their counter-proposal to Biden’s COVID relief plan or their support of Marjorie Taylor Greene, it’s clear that the GOP isn’t interested in actual bipartisanship as much as they’re interested in being part of the problem. Here to be part of the solution, on the other hand, are Cognitive Dissidents Ed Greer, Klee Wiggins, “The Black Voice of Reason” Tymon Shipp, and Dr. David Robinson with their thoughts on the impeachment trial, the “big game,” and more in your weekly dose of ne...
