Few comments of your run down.
I watched the news media degrading for a long time. Rush wasn't the king pin but the media companies that floated him and put him on across the country at least with 2 reruns a day and on multiple stations in one area with NO competition. If there was competition, it was removed from the airwaves.
Striking the fairness act and allowing NRWS to be treated as entertainment instead of educating the people so they may have knowledge to vote disappeared as the FOX moved in.
The rest of medias kid gloves and promoting of the FOX legitimized it. handing impressionable minds to be propagandized. How do you counter established brain washing in so many now?
Now lets look at some of the DOGE.
Notice not one Elmo contract was cut as waste like his rocket company but Elmo finds cutting NASA imperative to save unlike his exploding rockets. very wasteful and DEI contracts. for the impaired billionaire.

Saving money by not vaccinating for measles and having contract the measles parties . So why not cancel cancer research and have get cancer parties for immunity for cancer?

Why is the White house staff not cut by DOGE? How many people does Trump need when he has shown he can mumbles and lie proficiently himself.? Does Trump need two Steven Millers? We can lay of the VO because Trump has those superior race genes and will not need a stand in. All those speech writers and Teleprompters can go.

Do not overlook Congress. How many staffers for each congress person do we pay for? Why can't the congress person read their legislation and write it. We don't need the excess baggage of staffers to do what the congress member are supposed to do.
Why do they need so many people on the payroll.

Why do we have to waste money on a congressional Chaplain?
Why do we waste money on a congressional doctor in the building?
For that matter congress does not require any security. We know this from the pardons of J6 that it is a legal right now.
About the SCOTUS, why do we have to pay for their intern clerks and security.
Didn't they rule that we all can by guns to defend ourselves. So why can;t they buy a gun on their salary and protect themselves.
I mean my wife has to grocery shop not knowing which person with a gun is going kill all and let God sort them out.
I end here but that isn't the end of this list?
But who do we contract with to be responsible for our Nukes? Putin? Blackwater? Donny Jr?

I would of preferred our senate Dems to NOT vote for the appeasement of the dirty CR.
But then I supported Dems with Biden to stuff the SCOTUS to bring some iota of judicial balance.
But that made me a radical something, something. Knowing how the GOP held a SCOTUUS seat replacement to stuff it with Federalist lab grown hyenas.

I have taken my share of shit for referring to my governor as "Gavin Reptile" for these many years, but the thing about being right is that sometimes you actually are...
And for something completely different, here is the Dropkick Murphys managing to get through to a MAGA audience member without making him look like the moron he no doubt is... Well, he was in the front row at a Dropkick Murphys show, so he must be in the possession of some nonzero amount of human decency, but hey, ya gotta start somewhere:

Thank you again for the podcast. Yesterday it snowed about two feet worth, and Briana dug the car out of the snowbank left by the plow as it went past and we made it to town for groceries. When you're disabled and can't dig the car out yourself, these things are a BFD.
