Hogan Flunks Education, Trump’s Absurd Attack, Politico’s Nauseating Tips for Journos

by

Listen to “Hogan Flunks Education, Trump’s Absurd Attack, Politico’s Nauseating Tips for Journos” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three lousy martinis for the Presidents Day edition. First, they groan as former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan makes it clear education is not at the top of his priority list as a possible presidential candidate, and he accepts and agrees NBC’s false explanation of the approach Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is taking on education policy. They also sigh as President Trump unleashes a social media rant against reporter Salena Zito for doing a favorable profile on DeSantis – noting that Zito’s reporting in 2016 explained better than anyone why Trump and his message were resonating so strongly in places Republicans hadn’t won in decades. Finally, they roll their eyes at Politico’s tips for faking your way through conversations with journalists and others in Washington to advance your reporting career.

Why Lake’s Lead Is Growing, Air Force Admits Political Leak, Desperate Dem Tactics

by

Listen to “Why Lake’s Lead Is Growing, Air Force Admits Political Leak, Desperate Dem Tactics” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they process polling numbers in the Arizona governor’s race and wonder whether Democrats made bad decisions about debating in two key states. They’re also horrified as the Air Force admits its personnel records about a Republican congressional candidate and her sexual assault in Iraq were leaked to a Democratic opposition research firm and got published in Politico. And Jim has zero confidence that anyone will face consequences for such a heinous act. Finally, after years of insisting President Trump and Republicans are an existential threat to democracy, a Dem-connect PAC is spending tons of money on ads saying the GOP candidates are not loyal enough to Trump and that his voters should support Libertarian candidates.

Grilling the Governor, Inflation Worse Than Expected, Politico’s Putin Stunt

by

Listen to “Grilling the Governor, Inflation Worse Than Expected, Politico’s Putin Stunt” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud the direct and devastating attack from GOP New Mexico gubernatorial candidate Mark Ronchetti, as he blasted Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham for grabbing the crotch of a male staffer, claiming she did nothing wrong, but also paying the staffer $150,000 to settle the complaint while forbidding the staffer from discussing the matter publicly. Ronchetti was also very effective at calling out the governor for imposing lockdowns she violated on numerous occasions. They also cringe over the latest consumer inflation numbers that come in worse than expected and prove higher prices aren’t going anywhere for awhile. Finally, they slam Politico Europe for naming Vladimir Putin as their top “green” figure because ending dependence upon Russian energy will force a revolution in renewables – ignoring the reality of people freezing to death and facing astronomical energy costs.

Senate Filibuster Safe, Fracturing of the Right, Politico’s Ongoing Revolt

by

Listen to “Senate Filibuster Safe, Fracturing of the Right, Politico’s Ongoing Revolt” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema cementing the end of any serious effort to kill the legislative filibuster. They also discuss the talk of a Patriot Party and why fighting out serious differences within one party is far preferable to a major split. And they marvel at Politico staffers continuing their hissy fit over their editors asking Ben Shapiro to write one thing two weeks ago.

Politico Resists the Mob, Biden’s Minimum Wage Mistake, Lockdowns Failed

by

Listen to “Politico Resists the Mob, Biden’s Minimum Wage Mistake, Lockdowns Failed” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud Politico editors for defending their decision to have Ben Shapiro as a guest author and not caving to the liberal outrage in the newsroom. They also tell Joe Biden that this is the worst possible time to pursue a $15 per hour minimum wage, since it would kill even more jobs and probably more businesses. And they fume as a major study concludes lockdown policies did not help to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

Abbott’s Re-Open Plan , Politico’s Shame, Bernie Team Still Bitter

by

Listen to “Abbott’s Re-Open Plan , Politico’s Shame, Bernie Team Still Bitter” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they walk through the Texas plan to re-open the economy that’s drawing rave reviews, but they also discuss whether re-opening should be statewide policy or based on local conditions and why Democratic governors are getting far less grief for re-opening than Republicans. They also walk through Politico’s cringe-inducing apology on how badly it mangled its story on debts President Trump allegedly owed to China. And they react to the fury of the Bernie Sanders campaign over New York’s decision to cancel its presidential primary.  Is this a case of Sanders focusing on politics over the health crisis in New York or is it imperative for states to find ways to hold elections regardless of the conditions?

Dems Coming Clean on Single Payer, Sarsour’s Sick Con Job, Cruel Texas Cartoon

by


Alexandra DeSanctis of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are actually glad to see Sen. Kamala Harris and other national Democrats admitting they want single payer, government-run health care for everyone and they hope America is still ready to reject it.  They also hammer radical activist Linda Sarsour for acting as if she’s raising money for hurricane victims when her real goal to build up the bank of her organization to foster division along ethnic, racial, and gender lines.  They also pound Politico for a horrible political cartoon characterizing Texans as confederate, Christian rubes who should realize they are being rescued by government rather than God.  And they close by shaking their heads at the cases of Americans who injured themselves by applying sunscreen directly to their eyeballs to look at the recent solar eclipse.
