So, what do you know? I always remembered debating JD Vance on NPR back in 2016, a few months before the election. But as far as I know it's never been played outside of the show I was on where JD Vance and I "NPR debated." So, no, it wasn't heated.

Don Junior was holding a Q&A on FEMA's hurricane relief on his podcast Triggered (which is funny in of itself), but he then turned it into a MAGA liefest. Can you imagine getting hurricane relief information from this jackass? TRUMP JR.: You know, make sure you know what's going on. Don't just sort of sign off on it because you could sign off on something you think is totally fine only to find out in a month or a year that your house was effectively totaled, you just didn't know it. So think about that, pass along that information. You know, so we'll get to the news of the day. I'll take you through, you know, some of this stuff and then we will get to your questions. It's so easy to take that sort of, hey, a couple bucks, right? You know, here's 750 bucks from FEMA. Yeah, you know, your house was totaled, but you didn't know it. Think about that very carefully before you do anything. Make sure your neighbors, your friends, anyone you know in the area that could have been affected. He heard this, not because he knew, because you know, honestly, tornadoes happen here a little bit. We're used to the hurricane stuff, but we don't necessarily think of it the way they do in, you know, in Oklahoma or Nebraska or places where it's more common. So he was talking to some of his friends over there and they're like, hey, just make sure your people know that. So just trying to spread that message.read more

Sheldon Whitehouse recently released his damning report into what was supposed to have been a thorough investigation into those allegations.

During a speech to the Economic Club in Detroit, Trump dissembled into talking about India, cylinders, tariffs, Elon Musk, circles, rockets, 2020 election, and President Biden all in less than two minutes. What the heck is he talking about? TRUMP: And then all of a sudden you hear that they're leaving Milwaukee or they're leaving wherever they may be located. It's very sad to see it.

Why is it that leftists consistently take control of government and institutions in a free society, even when the majority of the people in that free society could be considered center-right?
