UFOs? Fights on the Field? China Cutting Cables? Bomb Threats at Thanksgiving?
If you know your commandments, this is not one of the words but it’s similar. Some good synonyms for this one even if Doug will not be with us this week.
What a variety of topics we have to cover this week. UFOs, including a little history that relates, fighting on the field in Ohio; did China cut cables in the ocean? Homelessness, immigration. Wow, lots to discuss.
We’ll also talk a little publishing. How are you, as an author, handling rising costs when publishing and marketing your books?

In the 1st hour, we’ll discuss government waste, first amendment issues facing our country and specifically our county in Nevada, Washoe County. Why does the government want to suppress speech?

It's Over...Or Is It?
Elections 2024
A report in the New York Times about the races in the House states: “Aside from a handful of very close races that have come down to the final ballots, most of the races are in Western states where counting is expected to continue for days.” For days you say? Why for days? Nevada and Arizona are still counting as I write this. Do you find that strange? Our show airs on Tuesday from 3-5 p.m. Pacific…will the counting be done by then? It just seems odd, don’t ya think?
We’ll talk about some of the celebrity and high profile folks that said they would leave if Donald Trump won. Where are they now?
