Gary, Lyn and Dee discuss topics of the day and current events.
We open today with a Hot Mic segment and The Lincoln Project. You know, the outfit that does those burner political ads? Steve Schmidt. Rick Wilson. George T. Conway. Jennifer Horn. John Weaver. If you would like to see some of their work, here is their youtube channel.

The US Supreme Court was in the news several times this week and the citizens may have picked up a couple of wins. Dee gives us the details. The Lie meter hasn’t pegged yet, but it’s getting close. Ever hear of Air Bridge? Well, get the latest on Jared Kushner’s monumental screw up. He couldn’t organize a one person birthday party without failing.
Pssst! We can get you a good deal on a slightly used Cruise Ship. No questions asked. You just need a place to dock it. Is the economy beginning to tank again? International students? What is their status? Voice of America is going through some changes and it appears not for the good. It is really bad for the foreign journalists who work for VoA here in the US.
We’re getting a new class of Welfare Queens. They’re churches and non-profits. Tenet Health, a for profit healthcare provider, is really raking in the bucks from the taxpayers. Along with the Catholic Church. We have two right here in Colorado Springs that are on the dole.

The Pikes Peak Library District is being a good community supporter. Dee has the details. Let’s hear it for the PPLD! Thank you for taking care of our citizens. The East Library, 5550 North Union Boulevard, is providing Grab N Go lunches, Monday through Friday 11 AM to 12 PM, for children 1 – 18. Other items are also available in limited quantities. Sand Creek Library, 1821 S. Academy Blvd. is collecting household supplies for people in need.
As always, if you need help during the pandemic, or can offer help, we urge you to go to Mutual Aid of Colorado Springs.
