Send us a text If the title of this episode sounds like a word salad, then it's a perfect headline describing the past week in MAGA. It is useless to try to describe here. Listen and see for yourself. [email protected] Music by David Horton

Send us a text In this episode, we focus on the first hundred days of the second Trump administration.  What do we learn? We learn that Trump, in that time, has saved the lives of 75% of the American population. We learn that every single pollster and news organization is engaged in a massive conspiracy to have us believe that he and his policies are not popular. We learn that Harlem had massive protests against Harvard University that apparently nobody even knew about. We learned that Trump "did very well with black voters", which means that 16% is now defined as "very well".  And we now have a new word in our vocabulary that, thanks to Trump, we now know what it means: "Grocery". What a hundred days it has been. [email protected] Music by David Horton

Send us a text Quite a week for Trump. He finally left the country to attend the funeral for the Pope and his mere presence and lack of decorum was the talk of the event. So far, even Fox News, who you'll recall damn near declared the end of our Republic when Obama wore a tan suit, and blasted the leader of the free world Volodymyr Zelensky for not wearing a jacket and tie in the Oval Office, said nothing about the blue suit and tie. Speaking of the media...in what should have been the top story of the month, if not week, was a one news cycle thing. The 60 Minutes Executive Producer Bill Owens has resigned under corporate pressure. The reasons should make our blood boil. But will anything beyond the price of groceries make our blood boil these days? [email protected] Music by David Horton

Send us a text Once again, another week in the books and more evidence that we are dealing with something in this country that we've never faced before. Legal residents are being snatched off of our streets and 'disappeared'. And if that alone isn't enough to cause extreme outrage, Federal Courts and even a unanimous Supreme Court rulings that the Trump administration must get them back are ignored. This is the point that we've never crossed in our history. People are outraged. Hundreds of thousands are demonstrating in cities and towns in every state and in countries across the globe. That is the good news. But it's also the bad news, as no doubt that these demonstrations will be the impetus for Trump to declare a national emergency and suspend elections. Lest you think that this is hyperbole, did you ever imagine that we'd be where we already are? How long until the inevitable violence occurs? Who could have seen all of this coming? Well, it turns out that Bernie Sanders was among those who saw it coming. We share. [email protected] Music by David Horton

Send us a text Just when you think it can't get more embarrassing or dangerous, Trump and MAGA say, "hold my beer". War planning in a group text chat, military threats to Greenland and Denmark, the Commander in Chief having no idea that 4 of our service members are missing in Lithuania. We are facing incompetence at Monty Python levels in this country. [email protected] Music by David Horton

Send us a text Not so long ago, the attitude was that "it can't happen here". This is the United States of America! The beacon for Democracies world wide! The greatest nation ever conceived! American exceptionalism! Well, in two short months, we now know that indeed it CAN happen here...it HAS happened here. Now, there are signs that perhaps a sleeping giant of sorts has been awakened due to the assault on our institutions and people are waking up. It would be wise for those who consider themselves our "Rulers" to take note that the historical reaction to despotic authoritarian rule and the often violent end that many of those historical "Rulers" met can also "happen here". Across the nation and world, reactions are growing louder and more pointed. We share some of the sounds of this reaction on this edition of Minyard & Minyard do the resistance. It's time that we all DO SOMETHING! [email protected] Music by David Horton

Send us a text Have you noticed that each week seems like months? Hard to imagine that it's not yet been even two months that our government was handed over to a wannabe (stupid) dictator who has nothing but retribution on his agenda, and his happy band of oligarchs who are playing him like the idiot that he is. We share some of the week's highlights in this edition of Minyard & Minyard do the Resistance. [email protected] Music by David Horton.

Send us a text Hard to believe that we're only something like six weeks into our new reality. The whole world is coming to the accurate realization that they cannon, and should not, depend on America. We are not a trustworthy people or nation. The whole concept of "American Exceptionalism" -- if it ever actually was a thing -- is now a punchline.  We discuss.  And Robert De Niro has some thoughts to close us out.

Send us a text After witnessing the obscene way in which the Trump team treated the President of our ally Ukraine on Friday, it is clear that Trump and his cronies are working for someone other than the American people and the principles of democracy. Not only has the world reacted in outrage and horror, it is the American people, our economy and standing in the world that will ultimately suffer. As his support erodes - not only around the world - but here at home, look for a repeat of history -- our Reichstag fire event that will be meant to rally the people to the authoritarian's cause and result in a premise to declare Martial Law and who knows...suspend elections? It may come in the form of a well timed explosion that can be blamed on "our enemies". It may be an assassination of some un-needed red state elected officials who would be seen as "dying for the cause". And look for the 2026 elections to be under stress like we have never seen. We are at a tipping point in this country, make no mistake. It is up to us to do something about this. [email protected] Music by David Horton

Send us a text Fun and games are over. Because the Westport development residents in Oxnard California have had enough and are not going to take it any longer! The birth of Resistance Westport has taken flight and is welcoming all like-minded members of the resistance to MAGA to join them in fighting back against the gangster government that is trying to take control of the nation. We discuss.  Check them out at Resistance Westport on Facebook and GET INVOLVED! Also, the real reason that not a single Republican is willing to stand up to the Gangster and his henchman Elon Musk: they're afraid of being murdered. [email protected] Music by David Horton

Send us a text We can stop pretending now. A fascist oligarchy is running the country. If events in recent days haven't convinced you that Trump isn't simply a figurehead, and that Musk isn't his Rasputin, then Michael Steele would like to have a word with you. This, therefore is the Elon Musk edition of the podcast. [email protected] Music by David Horton

Send us a text In recognition of Ken's Birthday today, we've prepared a BLOCKBUSTER of an edition! Well, we think so anyway. As our government careens further into idiocy, and we further become a world-wide laughingstock, we provide proof as to why this is an accurate assessment of The United States in 2025. Perhaps the best example of this is illustrated in their own words by "Youknowwho", Tommy Tubberville and Patrick Mahomes this week. And we'll let you decide if the fictional President of the fictional nation of San Marcos in the 1971 Woody Allen film, "Bananas" was channeling a certain future real-life leader.

Send us a text If it's not plainly clear by now, we have handed the country over to a homicidal maniac hell-bent on taking out anyone and everyone he perceives as having slighted him. And that list is long and very distinguished. He has been mocked and laughed at his entire life, and always gotten by thanks to his daddy's money and influence. He is living his fantasy of being a mob boss who issues life and death orders that he expects to be followed without question. Hyperbole? Explain the removal of the Secret Service protection from people who he perceives have betrayed him...Pompeo, Bolton, Fauci...all of whom are facing death threats from domestic and foreign sources. Further, explain why...upon removing the protection...he felt the need to publicize it so openly and proudly. He is actually saying that he wants these people dead. Like a mob boss would. Never saying the exact words, but making it clear nonetheless. So what now? Unless the opposition finds their spine and begins to fight with tougher tactics, we may be well on our way to a dystopian nightmare. And it's only been two weeks... (Thank you Merrick Garland.~ Rick)

Send us a text It's only been 6 days, but already it's clear that we are headed for some very tough times in this country. In that short amount of time, we've seen deportation raids on workplaces, homes, schools, churches. Congress is confirming some of the most inexperienced and dangerous people to head our Defense and Intelligence agencies. All out attack on transgendered citizens. The release of violent terrorists back into our communities. The co-President delivering Nazi salutes to followers, then trying to gaslight us by suggesting that it was "a Roman salute". Next up: inflation inducing tariffs. So we all have to choose. Are we simply going to allow ourselves to be victimized? Are we going to become an organized resistance movement? Or will we be conspirators? Really funny how history repeats itself, which is why it's so baffling as to why most people in this country are so uninterested, and thus ignorant, of history and it's implications.

Send us a text OK, so we have to find new ways of resisting what is about to happen to us as a nation. Overall, non-compliance whenever and wherever possible is how we're proceeding. But we have another way to proceed also. Simply don't use his name. We are from this day forward simply calling him "YouNoHoo". Everything this guy does is self-promoting, as putting his name on everything shows, so simply refuse to use his name. Easy enough. We discuss this, and lots more on the latest episode.
