 The President is Crazy. We Get that. But WTF Can be done about it? | File Type: audio/mpeg3 | Duration: 00:05:16

The world is under the thumb of a madman and so far, no one has any idea what to do about it.

 Issues Under Fire: Donald Trump Compromised! | File Type: audio/mpeg3 | Duration: 00:17:56

If allowed to continue at his current pace of destroying U.S. foreign relations and international partnerships, while fueling the flames of America's racial and ethnic differences, Donald Trump could go down in history as the tool Vladimir Putin used to make Russia great again. Podcast below

 Trump Building Internment Camps for Asylum Seekers on Military Bases | File Type: audio/mpeg3 | Duration: 00:17:52

Everyday this story rages on without a humanitarian solution, is another day of repeated history. And, its because this story is repeated history, is all the more reason why it must be observed carefully and documented accurately. After all, this is the summer the United States withdrew from the U.N. Human Rights Council. So, I want to be able to tell people this is the summer I saw the internment camps being built to house migrants by the tens of thousands with my own eyes. I want to be able to say this was the summer I saw what a prison for young children looked like. But mostly, I want to be able to say this is the summer the President of the United States said judges, courts and due process was just making a mockery of good immigration policy

 Donald Trump: I Don't Need No Stinkin' Judges | File Type: audio/mpeg3 | Duration: 00:12:54

One can only hope Europe and rest of the free world is no longer taking its cues from the United States because the message being sent from this administration would be devastating to the 68.5 million refugees forced to flee their homes due to war, violence, and persecution worldwide in 2017. This summer, the United States is pitching building walls, closing doors and throwing the welcome mat away. Migrants are no longer wanted. So, don't call us, we'll call you. And it's all being done under the guise of making America Great Again.

  What's Happening Behind Closed Doors of U.S. Detention Centers | File Type: audio/mpeg3 | Duration: 00:16:28

Whenever elected officials, reporters, and human rights organizations are barred from unfettered access to U.S. government-run facilities and are forced to smuggle photos out of them, it should raise red flags, eyebrows and lots of questions. It should raise concerns that something is going on that the average citizen would not approve of. And the abuse of children would certainly qualify. So, the longer the Trump administration keeps operating these facilities in secret, the more people will raise their voices in protest. Something is not right and we the people must keep raising this issue until we find out what's really going on behind the government's closed doors.

 Donald Trump Against the World and the World is Winning | File Type: audio/mpeg3 | Duration: 00:12:02
 Issues Under Fire: Moscow's Marionette | File Type: audio/mpeg3 | Duration: 00:16:42

Without having any idea what really transpires during Donald Trump's calls to and from other world leaders, its impossible to know what's really being said, really been understood or really agreed upon. And since Trump is not only unfamiliar with the truth, but lacks enough common sense to recognize it when it's being presented to him, one can only speculate why the snickers he once received behind his back have now turned to sneers. Could it be Putin the Puppetmaster pulling the strings?

 Donald Trump: The Shakedown Artist | File Type: audio/mpeg3 | Duration: 00:17:31

While the United States has enjoyed being king of the mountain for the last 60 years, the world is changing and changing rapidly. The days of America telling the international community when to jump and how high are coming to an end as national pride and demands for mutual respect begins to blossom in every corner of the globe. Sure, the U.S. can still shakedown the weaklings on the playground, but the other big boys are banning together to punch back.

 Donald Trump & His Shyster's Defense | File Type: audio/mpeg3 | Duration: 00:16:16

Donald Trump is clearly acting like someone who has something to hide and it's Robert Mueller's job to find out what. With the cast of characters Trump cavorts with, Mueller could easily uncover crimes of tax evasion, money laundering, fraud, and bribery. Let's face it, Donald Trump is a New York businessman. That's how business is conducted in this city until you do something stupid like run for public office. Smart crooks like to stay in the shadows. And with a high profile shark and self-described "fixer" like Michael Cohen kept on retainer, we may be astounded by the amount of dirt this Special Counsel could be in the process of unearthing about America's dirt-bag-in-Chief.

 N. Korea, S. Korea, China & Russia Are Managing Trump Brilliantly | File Type: audio/mpeg3 | Duration: 00:14:57

North Korea, South Korea, China, and Russia have correctly calculated Donald Trump will not be reelected. Therefore, their strategy is to placate until Trump vacates. In little more than two years, the world will happily welcome a new and hopefully more reasonable and rational U.S. leader to engage with. The restoration of sanity in the Oval Office will restore much-needed confidence and certainty that's been sorely lacking during these dark times the Trump administration brought upon the international community. Keep your finger crossed, it won't be much longer.

 Roseanne Barr May Fight Her Firing & She's Got Support | File Type: audio/mpeg3 | Duration: 00:13:05

Bottom line: America elected a morally corrupt, Philander and pathological liar. America knowingly chose an ignorant, narcissistic, egomaniac to be its leader. And America accepted a man with all these faults and more for one simple reason. Donald Trump spoke the same language to his supporters that Roseanne Barr speaks to hers. Like it or not, these two racist shares the same fan base and both are loved and admired for being just who they are.

  #WhereAreTheChildren, Humanity Demand An Answer | File Type: audio/mpeg3 | Duration: 00:19:44

Any parent worth a damn would want assurances their child is being treated properly. They'd want to know if their children are getting enough food. They'd want to know if their children are in good health. They'd want to know if their children are going to school and getting good grades. They'd want to know if their children are in a loving, caring environment. And most importantly, they want to know if their children are happy. But how can these detained parents know any of these things, when the authorities don't even know where the Hell these children are? How can these detained parents know anything for certain when their jailers clearly don't give a sh*t. As far as those charged with securing the border are concerned, these parents broke the law and this is the price they'll pay. And the price from this observer's perspective is cruel and inhumane punishment.

 The NFL & White America Have Got A Lot of Nerve | File Type: audio/mpeg3 | Duration: 00:18:30

When I look back on what happened in Charlottesville North Carolina, I can vividly recall the torch lit marches with chants and rants of "We Will Not Be Replaced." In retrospect, I understand, these were the actions of angry White males telling America they were afraid of losing their White privilege. They were afraid of having to compete with Black and Brown people who are just as smart, if not smarter than they are. They were telling America, they were afraid of a future where all Americans are considered as equals. There, I said it. And now, oddly enough, I don't feel so angry anymore.

 Vladimir Putin: Sowing the Seeds of Chaos | File Type: audio/mpeg3 | Duration: 00:15:41

If former President Barack Obama, the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee, and all U.S. Intelligence agencies believe Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential elections to help get Donald Trump elected, who am I to disagree? Besides, Russia's efforts have been paying some obvious dividends. In an effort to save his own ass from special counsel Robert Mueller's, Donald Trump is undermining the FBI, the DOJ, and the U.S. Free Press. Only a crazy person or a guilty person would resort to such behavior. Either way, Vladimir Putin got his way. And thus, he's successfully sown the seed of chaos in America.

 The President is Paranoid | File Type: audio/mpeg3 | Duration: 00:17:28

After another weekend of irate Tweets, exposing his paranoia-driven rage, the world has been given a window into Donald Trump's mind. He's scared, he's sweating, he's shitting bricks and he's incapable of hiding any of it. And while it's never a good thing to take pleasure in the pain of another, in Trump's case many are willing to make the exception. Besides, this is some funny shit. So, at this point the only thing I'd tell "The Donald" is, "They're Coming to Get You, Barbara."
