Trump and his people want to deregulate everything, except for women's lives. Bump stocks, yes. Choice no. Religion in public schools, yes. School books about race or climate change, no. It makes sense that mob bosses and white collar criminals want to eliminate the FBI and the IRS. Why does the average American fall for the Trump, Project 2025 age…

You can't call it trolling when you come as big as Robert DeNiro did in front of the New York courthouse where a jury deliberates Donald Trump's fate. He came so big, the Yank is calling it "Going Godzilla." On the theme of naming things, you call it "The Hush Money, Porn Star Case," but the case properly known as "The People of the State of New Yo…

Can the film Civil War by Alex Garland, starring Kirsten Dunst, tell us anything new about the United States, or is it just a zombie movie without the zombies?

Everything might be different. When we recorded this morning, we were waiting to see if Israel would respond to Iran's missile and drone attack. Well, Israel seems to have launched an attack on a radar installation near--wait for it-- Iran's nuclear development site. Is this a kinetic message or the first step in a multi-stage mission? By the time …

Con-man Moses Pray sold Bibles. Now Former President Trump sells Bibles. NBC boots Ronna McDaniel. Will she reclaim her Romney name? A bridge in Baltimore is destroyed by a container ship, and Republicans don't want to replace it. But Lara Trump will sing us a country lullaby and make it all okay. This week, the Yank and Kraut recommend two movies …

German Soccer drops Adidas and adopts Nike. (Something for the Kraut.) Then the Yank reminds us that Former President Trump has never apologized for calling for the lynching of the five teens accused of the Central Park Jogger Attack. Whiny, white wonderpuffs can't stand the heat when the law is after them, but they talk so tough when it isn't. The…

The Yank would rather talk about the Oscars than politics. The Kraut is still trying to make sense of United States politics. Derangement Syndrome sets in, but for a pleasant and sometimes meaningful distraction from the craziness of American politics, there are must see films, some even recognized, or nominated and snubbed, by the Oscars. Hear Aus…

In the State of the Union Address, President Biden reminds us that we are on a national quest to create a perfect union (e pluribus unum) as envisioned in our earliest documents--but not quite achieved--to ensure the inalienable rights of all, making each of us an equal among citizens. This leads Marcus and Austin, the Kraut and Yank, to discuss th…

Geriatric Gunslingers President Biden and Candidate Trump both claim a little part of the Texas-Mexico border this week for photo-ops to highlight their immigration policies.

As the presidential election draws closer, the competition for the White House grows more intense. Oddly enough, the topic of discussion is not one of the most pressing domestic topics, such as the continuous influx of refugees on the southern border of the USA, but the age of both candidates. Recently, there was a report by the Special Counsel on …
