Trump Indicted AGAIN; Doom Spirals and O’Shea Sibley Murdered Karel Cast #235 Indicted #3 just came out and this time four felony counts against the people of the United States. The problem? The GOP and the 1/5th of the people of the United States don’t care. Donald Trump is a criminal, a criminal that thinks he is going to win the Whitehouse. Our only hope is that he is in jail prior to the election. But will he be? And O’Shea Sibley was killed for dancing in public, and being gay. The blood is clearly on the hands of the GOP…is America redeemable at this point? Is it even worth saving? Or have we entered a doom spiral.And then, Mark Zuckerberg has gotten me, how and why?

If Trump Wins, We Deserve It; When to Let Go; Notes from Antartica Karel Cast #234 All it takes for evil to win is for good people to sit back and do nothing. If Trump wins, after all the indictments and such, it will mean that not enough good people stepped un to stop it. So will, we then, deserve it? On the flip side, do you care too much about too much and is it effecting your health and life? If so, can you learn to let go of some of it, to lighten your load? If so, how? And a friend of mine is in Antartica, the photos he sent made me very, very sad. Watch on YouTube and listen wherever you get your podcast.

I speak with ERWIN CHEMERINSKY, Dean of Berkeley Law School, about the Supreme Court’s recent term. I see ethical challenges and radical rulings - the law of the land interpreted through their religious and moral lenses, overturning legislation and precedent - hardly conservative behavior, stretching and distorting the law in their decision defending arguments, imposing their agenda on the nation with little regard for real world consequences, the common good, or the future. We’ll also talk about his latest book, WORSE THAN NOTHING: The Dangerous Fallacy of Original

Another day in the United States of Serfs and Lords. But his server! Trump is a traitor and threat to national security but Republicons don't care Here's where we are: Anti-feminist influencer releases Nick Fuentes-inspired antisemitic song Candace Owens: “I think that virtually every societal ill that we are facing today is because of women” Being self-loathing is what Republicons expect from anyone other than straight (acting) white males. Everyone else better know their "place." We discuss the madness.

Indictment Watch; Am I A Body Shamer? NYT Proves Me Right Karel Cast #233 We are on indictment watch, again, and I wonder if people really grasp just how historic and devastating this is for the nation? And the sad part is, his party still supports him. Also, Lindsey Graham checks out…and then back in. Is it time for him to retire? Then the Club Chub people came for me hard when I posted a post to defend a friend…was I wrong to tell them that morbid obesity is not a lifestyle to be celebrated but one to be treated medically? Am I a body shamed? And the NYT says put down the burger to save the planet, the same thing I've been saying for seven years. NOW will more of you stop vilifying plant based eaters? And Aliens? No. But what are they? I think I know. Watch on YouTube and listen wherever you get your podcast.

Why Is Energy So Costly Plus Florida Water Boils and We Fiddle Karel Cast #232 Nevada Energy sent a notice that prices are going up yet again..but why? Energy is actually free, so why do we pay for it? And why doesn't government? Plus Florida is literally boiling off shore, reefs are dying, fish, manatees and we do what? What do the politicians talk about? Trans people, or impeaching Biden. Do you no longer care because you figure, what's it matter anyway? And should we hold boys back in school if there's proof it actually helps? Watch on YouTube and listen wherever you get your podcast.
