4-5-18 Nicole Sandler Show – On Sinclair and Teachers with Cliff Schecter and Jeff Bryant

It's a busy Thursday. Cliff Schecter wrote a NY Times op-ed about Sinclair Broadcasting and why they shouldn't be allowed to purchase the Tribune group of stations and joins us to discuss it. Jeff Bryant writes about education at ourfuture.org and is the director of the Education Opportunity Network and is our guest to talk about the current spate of teacher strikes and what's happening with our public schools.

2-7-17 Nicole Sandler Show – The End of Public Education

Betsy DeVos bought her way into the Secretary of Education Job. Today, Nicole is joined by GottaLaff and Boca Brit Somers. And American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten called in to talk about just how bad this is. After Randi's call, a listener called in to ask what the names are of Betsy DeVos' companies that profit off of our public education funds... so I did a quick search, and found this Truthout article that links to this public disclosure report. She's up to her eyeballs in conflicts of interest...

Same Problem Different Century, Women Still ‘Less-Than’ in the Patriarchal GOP

Just when we think Trump and his spinners couldn't do more to repel women voters of any party … or none … the Great Swamp GOP machine produces more Odious Donald Ick to wade through. . Wear your best Orvis waders for this one. In fact, get three pairs on eBay and simply go single-use on this level of poli-nuclear waste. The Grand Old Party of white men has gone full-on retrograde, and the stink and spillage are spectacularly smellier than Seinfeld's hyper-strong B.O. in his Saab. . . Like the Seinfeldian B.O., it ain't easy to dispel and [...]

GOP Alpha Dogs and Beta Cucks. So Seriously. #NotJoking.

Applause to the hard-working left leaners over at Salon. And their comrades at Alternet. Headlines alone get an h/t with a flourish: The Alpha Dog that Wouldn’t Hunt: How Trump’s Ludicrous 'Alpha Male' Act Is Destroying Him sub: • Trump's alt-right fanboys celebrate his so-called "alpha" masculinity -- but they're the real "cucks." Matthew Rozsa of Salon has wisely held his mirth and thoroughly covered the Belly Flop of a recent prat fall of The Dickish Donald ... in ways that should make you go Ick. Brendan Gauthier at Salon has also been feeling The antiTrump Vibe as volubly and magnificently. You see, [...]

8-22-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Back to School, Weather Permitting

I decided to cut the show back to one hour a day today and, of course, forgot to start the recorder going. On top of that, I forgot to start the YouTube stream! So today's show begins already in progress... It just shows how scattered I've been lately. The one thing I haven't been scattered about is the cancer. I keep all the doctors appointments straight and, for the most part, have stayed on top of the stupid, unnecessary, bullshit referrals. I did my research and met with three surgeons, and made a decision. And now my surgery is scheduled [...]
