It’s Pi Day! Tomorrow is the Ides of March and also primary day in Florida, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri and North Carolina. Get out and VOTE!
This morning, we turned our attention to Ohio to speak with Portia Boulger. Portia is a founding member and social media director of Women 4 Bernie, a former union carpenter by trade, and a teacher by profession. She’s been an outspoken activist who, for many years supported Hillary Clinton before she realized that Bernie Sanders had our best interests in mind.
For some reason, following the insanity in Chicago Friday night at the cancelled-Trump rally, some idiot misidentified the Nazi saluting woman as Portia Boulger. See the photos below. That was not Portia!
The REAL Portia Boulger with Senator Bernie Sanders
Birgitt Peterson (pictured), 69, of Yorkville, Illinois, made a Nazi salute after Donald Trump’s cancelled rally in Chicago on Friday.
This is NOT Portia Boulger
Portia joined me on the show this morning to discuss her decades of activism, what made her change from a Hillary Clinton supporter to go all in for Bernie, and all about her surreal weekend after being misidentified as the Nazi-saluting woman from Chicago.
Then this happened… Perhaps you saw this on Friday afternoon:
Hillary Clinton: The Reagans, particularly Nancy, helped start “a national conversation” about HIV and AIDS. https://t.co/7sZp8X53fb

Yep. Hillary Clinton acting like a Republican, attempting to rewrite history. Sorry Hill. We remember the Reagan’s silence on HIV and AIDS. Media trainer and strategist Joel Silberman, who regularly joins us on Monday mornings anyway was with us in the second hour this morning. He told us about living in NY during the Reagan years and how their policy of silence was deadly. And he had a few choice words for Mr. Drumpf too.
Tomorrow is primary day in Ohio, Illinois, North Carolina, Missouri and here in Florida. I already voted. Did you??
Tomorrow, the woman behind the new documentary, The Brainwashing of my Dad, and GottaLaff too… radio or not!
Here’s today’s preshow music… the theme was Pi Day, with a bit of a nod to the late, great Keith Emerson too.
