News to ME with Ken & Mike ReduxChapter 11 of News to ME: Ken & Mike ReduxAfter an extremely long and inexcusable delay, the latest segment of the Ken & Mike Redux podcast has dropped. Of course, we began discussing the BIG debate tonight between two very old angry white men, and whether or not Angus King should have to debate anyone. We also chatted about the latest Supreme Court decision on social media platforms (Murthy v. Missouri) and the Karen Read trial in MA (alleged death of a boyfriend by Ms. Read hitting him with her car). And where else would you hear a discussion about Judge Judy and the Celtics in the same podcast...

News to ME with Ken & Mike ReduxChapter 10 of News to ME: Ken & Mike ReduxWell we talked a lot about Donald Trump. His trial, Robert DeNiro being a surrogate for Joe Biden, Dennis Quaid saying he supports Donald Trump. Ken still thinks Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in the history of the United States. Mike thinks Ken is as crazy as Robert DeNiro. You be the judge. We also talked about the two challengers to Chellie Pingree (insert yawn here), and if the “Appeal to Heaven” flag, very similar to the 1901 Maine flag, would derail efforts to replace the Dirigo flag. Finally, a tribute to Bill Walton and a remembrance of Gray...

I do NOT support Hamas, or ISIS, or the Taliban, but we need to understand how others view us as the terrorists. The atrocities we inflicted on Native Americans in the US are IDENTICAL to what we describe as the barbaric practices of Hamas. From massacring women and children to Andrew Jackson taking a Native American child home to his wife to raise, let's be careful to not suggest we are more moral or ethical than those people we call terrorists.

News to ME with Ken & Mike ReduxThe One Man More Responsible for Donald Trump than Donald TrumpTo be fair, Donald Trump is just being Donald Trump. But this one man could have changed the course of history and ended all chances of Donald Trump being elected for a second term. Oh, yeah, there was also a republican debate.
2023-08-2813 min
News to ME with Ken & Mike ReduxThe republicans debate. Sort of.Donald will not show up. Probably. But that won't stop the republican debaters (except for maybe Chris Christie if he signs the pledge to support the republican nominee) from carefully avoiding any criticism of the already crowned party nominee. Is it worth watching? And five historic lines from past presidential (and vice presidential) debates.

Think about where we will be in 2024 on the international front if Donald Trump is elected president. What do you do with a base that Donald Trump has convinced to view Putin as a "good guy?" Goodbye NATO. Goodbye international collaboration. Goodbye world economy. Can we convince the public to vote with their heads instead of their fear?

News to ME with Ken & Mike ReduxThe State of Joe Biden is GoodThank you Cruella Deville (that would be Majorie Taylor "the Liar" Greene) for heckling Joe Biden because his ability to fend off your attacks and turn around the Medicare and Social Security funding issue on your fellow republicans made him look cognizant, alert, informative, and presidential. I also touch on the balloons (also known as the aliens). And five memorable State of the Union Speeches in US History.
2023-02-1317 min
News to ME with Ken & Mike ReduxIt's just a balloon!Okay, so maybe it is a spy balloon. But another opportunity for republicans to attack Biden? Did we do this when republicans were president? Maybe. Can we ever reach a point at which not everything becomes fodder for propaganda?

I predicted the House to be a tad more red than it wil end up being, but no red wave as a predicted. And, also as I predicted, it will come down to Georgia as to which party controls the senate.

News to ME with Ken & Mike ReduxAnyone remember that Dobbs case?It seems like it was just yesterday when the voices of women were raised in angry unison decrying the elimination of one of their fundamental rights to decide what happens to their bodies. Is the price of gas really that much more important than the right for you to choose? For you to not have an angry old while man dictate what you can and can't do with your body? White suburban women gave us Donald Trump. Are they about to give us a republican Congress?

News to ME with Ken & Mike ReduxThe Herschel Walker LessonThere is absolutely no justification for anyone to vote for someone like Herschel Walker: Incompetent, narcissistic, and a pathological liar. Yet there he is, on the precipice of being elected to the US Senate. It is your moral obligation to not vote for him.

News to ME with Ken & Mike ReduxWhy do we care about the monarchy?The monarchy is worth 88 billion dollars. Why does Great Britain revere them? And why do we care about the monarchy from which we declared independence? Also, the prognosis remains good for democrats come November. Not good that they will stave off a loss of the House, but not as bad as it could have and should have been. Also, the 11th Circuit gives Trump lawyers until Tuesday to rebut the DOJ's request to reverse the stay on their investigation. Good for them. Let's see if there are some judges with IQs above 100.

News to ME with Ken & Mike ReduxAlito and Roe v. Wade. Need i say more?Why this draft opinion is stunning, illogical, devastating, but with one silver lining all rolled into one. Why presidential elections are all about the Supreme Court, where are you now Susan Collins?, goodbye rights to privacy (and NOT just with abortion), and why we need to stop viewing the Constitution as the gospel (yes, my reference to the Bible is not a coincident) and see it as a breathing, evolving document.

News to ME with Ken & Mike ReduxWhy the negative reaction to Biden's handling of the Ukrainian War?Blame him (incorrectly, but if you want) for high gas prices or high inflation), but what has he done wrong in this handling of the Ukrainian war, and what exactly do you want him to do that he hasn't done?

News to ME with Ken & Mike ReduxOne day in the history of the week of March 6, 2022.I was struck by what a unique day March 7, 2022 was. COVID, Ukraine, Iowa school shooting, violent weather, and the state of Florida not only deciding that parents should be told NOT to vaccinate their children, but let's also make sure they "don't say gay." Are we back in the 1950's? This is not backlash; this is insanity. Also, as a protest, I detail the most significant moments in the ADVANCEMENT of LGTBQ legal rights.
