9-10-20 Nicole Sandler Show – Thursdays with Howie Klein

Download here or click below to play Howie Klein of Down with Tyranny and the Blue America PAC is our regular Thursday guest. The topics we discuss are often at the mercy of the news cycle, as is the case today. We're all talking about the revelations from Bob Woodward's forthcoming book, Fear and Donald Trump's admission that he knew the dangers of the coronavirus pandemic but chose to downplay the severity to the American people. What other shoes could possibly drop? Of course, he tried to deflect. First he needed to move the attention away from Michael Cohen's [...]

Conservative website: “Rubio’s run is just about done.”

The headline quote comes from this conservative site. I hope it's accurate. Back in 2010, I wrote two posts: “Just what is going on here between” Marco Rubio & healthcare lobbyist Amber Stoner? and The mystery of Marco Rubio & healthcare lobbyist Amber Stoner, Part 2. Link over for the back story and screen grabs from a very public, accessible database of Rubio’s credit card records. Maybe we'll finally get some answers to that lingering question during this election cycle.Via The Political Insider:But now, a new investigation by a South Carolina insider lets us know that a “mistress bombshell” is about to explode! Multiple [...]

We’re Going to Disneyland!

That's what you do after a big victory, right? I still remember one year when I took my daughter to Disney World here in Florida. She couldn't have been older than six. On our way to park, we learned that day was "Gay Day" - an annual event. My first thought was "cool, this could be a learning experience". Except that my daughter was not at all fazed by the site of two men or two women holding hands. She had never been taught that there was anything wrong with that! This weekend, we're headed back to Disney World. [...]

Scandalous!

The GOP is at it again. That bastion of social welfare, the Heritage Foundation (they must be an organization devoted to doing work in the realms of Religious, Educational, Charitable, Scientific, Literary, Testing for Public Safety, to Foster National or International Amateur Sports Competition, or Prevention of Cruelty to Children or Animals as they enjoy tax-exempt status under their 501(c)3 designation, right?) wrote a letter to Speaker of the House John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor urging them to stop doing the work they were sent to Washington to do in favor of ratcheting up "scandals" in the Obama administration. [...]

The Real Scandal

Last night at my daughter's softball game, I was chatting with one of the other moms about our daughters entering high school in the fall. The other mom told me that her daughter was joining ROTC because she's always wanted to go into the military. I smiled gently and just said "I hope that we're not fighting any wars by the time she graduates." But hidden behind my tentative smile was the sadness in knowing that if this young woman does join the military, she has a greater than 1 in 4 chance of being raped while serving her country. [...]

Scandal-Gate Spate

The Republican party has been fishing for a scandal, and now they've got one... or two, but not three, and one of them is not the scandal they've been pushing! The scandal is not in Benghazi, and it has nothing to do with Benghazi. Sadly, four Americans lost their lives there. But if rewriting talking points a dozen times before they're released by a governmental agency then we're in really big trouble. Benghazi was a tragedy exploited by Fox and its minions to thrust a scandal upon the Obama administration, with the added value of discrediting the potential 2016 Democratic [...]

They Got a Thing Going On

That infographic should explain the whole sordid affair, or not. Seriously, I haven't delved into it until this point because, as salacious and intriguing as it is, it's really none of our business. Of course, hate wing talk radio would have you believe that the whole thing is tied into Benghazi because, well, you know, Obama. In the meantime, I'm waiting for the Lifetime movie to come out... The funny thing is that truth is, indeed, stranger than fiction because if anyone had floated a screenplay as implausible as this, they'd be laughed out of the industry! Meanwhile, this morning Luke [...]
