The 2022 election displayed a large sect in the Republican Party that was swayed easily to believe provably false information. Chuck Todd revealed a poll that provides more than a clue as to why. #ChuckTodd revealed a shocking poll that was a clue to the gullibility of many in the #RepublicanParty today. If the majority of your party is convinced that college and education do not help society, then misinformation, disinformation, and faith in bad sources result in subjects being unable to think critically. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/support

Reporters confronted both Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy, requesting a response to Trump blaming the Biden administration for the East Palestine train derailment life-endangering chemical pollution catastrophe.

How can Moderna be seen as anything but sickness profiteers? Their profits say it all. We must take some responsibility for the East Palestine catastrophe. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/support

Cathy Courtney fights for healthcare for all from sleep to wake with her personal and public experiences. Moderna's billions in profits is the instantiation of our fraudulent healthcare system. The healthcare industrial complex, specifically the health insurance industry, has been methodically undermining your healthcare cost and your health with smoke and mirrors. They are saving millions of American money in the short term as they drain the real Medicare Coffers by privatizing Medicare on the sly with their misleadingly named product, Medicare Advantage. It is not Medicare. It is private insurance that must make a profit for its shareholders and big bonuses for the executives who run it on the backs of taxpayers. Unfortunately, these health insurance companies do not only work on fooling Americans. They pay off many in our government to ensure it does not provide Americans with the necessary care. Why does Medicare Advantage provide eyes, dental, and hearing care while standard Medicare does not unless you

Senator Sherrod Brown unleashed on Norfolk Southern for the Palestine, OH derailment catastrophe. But we, the voter, must take some responsibility as well.  Senator Sherrod Brown did not hold back as he let #NorfolkSouthern have it. He pointed out that instead of investing in the safety of their operations, they used their profits for stock buybacks and dividends. But this is not new. We have a corporate-bought Republican & Neoliberal political sect that allows for unregulated, unfettered capitalism. Worse, these politicians and their corporate handlers convince enough Americans to vote for the politicians that ultimately result in catastrophes like have occurred with the train derailment in #Palestine, Ohio. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/support

William Anderson was initially concerned that the valid message he had but coming out of a white man could be problematic.

A brave President Biden visited Ukraine. CNN Host Pamela Brown showed Rep. Mike Turner, who is the boss of the interview. My conversation with a Conservative is something we must do. YEP!

Do his deeds match the ideology?: Anyone who follows my articles, blogs, newsletters, podcasts, & videos knows my Progressive credentials are unquestioned.

The toxic derailment in Palestine, Ohio, tells an important story about our economic system that we would do well to understand through clear glasses. Pres. Carter's goodness. Ukraine support. President #JimmyCarter is in hospice at his home. The man who seemed indestructible from illness may on his last leg. But at 98, a servant to society, all I can say is “Mision Cumplida” — Mission Accomplished. Senator #SherrodBrown did not hold back as he let #NorfolkSouthern have it.

CNN Host Pamela Brown did not allow Republican Congressman Mike Turner to use our airwaves to create a negative narrative on a retracted letter a group of Progressive Democrats sent to the president. It seems like the Republican Chairman of the Intelligence Committee, Congressman Mike Turner, was either not listening to the question from Pamela Brown, or he was looking for any moment to malign Democrats. It was as if he wanted to preempt a question that was unlikely to come, but that came because of his attempt at a Dem vs. GOP #Ukraine false equivalence. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/support
