Politics Done Right

Norman Solomon discusses Americas misguided Russia/Ukraine policy: He wrote about it in a recent article that we examine. Hospitals ask Biden administration to help lower the soaring cost of travel nurses: The American Hospital Association says health care staffing agencies are exploiting the pandemic, forcing them to pay astronomical wages for temporary nurses and other staff. Nurses who sign on with the agencies and who are willing to travel can more than double their salaries. That’s because of the large sums of federal COVID relief money given to states. Shalina Chatlani, with the Gulf States Newsroom, reports hospitals are asking the White House to do something. Chris Hayes takes a closer look at Biden’s economy that should please everyone. And it turns out the economy, in the aggregate is good. Chuck Todd got VP Pence’s Chief of Staff, Marc Short, to fess up on air that Biden won the election.

Norman Solomon started his article with an admonishment of the media. Hidden in plain sight, the extreme hypocrisy of the U.S. position on NATO and Ukraine cries out for journalistic coverage and open debate in major American media outlets. But those outlets, with rare exceptions, have gone into virtually Orwellian mode, only allowing elaboration on the theme of America good, Russia bad. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/support

Rachel Maddow did a piece in which 4 white Republicans who actually were convicted of voter fraud got mostly probation. One got three days in jail. A black woman with a record trying to register to vote got 6 years in prison. Fareed Zakaria puts inflation in perspective from the capitalist point of view. While I think he erred in some of his conclusions, I get his method. Tom C, a PDR Posse member brought us a story that brought tears to our eyes.

The Nation’s Editorial Director & Publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel discusses issues about the U.S. and NATO’s Ukraine stance & much more. Recently I contacted Norman Solomon to discuss his recent article on the Ukraine crisis. He said he would and did give me an interview on his piece. But he told me that I also needed to talk to Katrina vanden Heuvel, who could provide some in-depth perspectives complementary to his. I contacted her and set up this one. Katrina did not disappoint. Katrina pointed out several issues that the mainstream media seldom covers. One need not wonder why. How does the Bush/Baker broken promise on NATO expansion play into the current debacle? How does the need of the defense industrial complex play into the mobilization of troops and ammunition given America’s less than surreptitious exit from Afghanistan? That was likely a hell of a blow to the defense industrial complex. What parallels can one draw if we had similar geopolitical influences on our borders. A di

How to flip the ‘Nancy Pelosi San Francisco trope’ on Right-Wingers against progressive policies: A conservative user attempted to float the standard Nancy Pelosi ‘San Francisco in decline’ trip. We had an honest answer. Why aren’t Democrats fighting like hell for the good they do instead of quitting: Democrats should not be quitting a Congress they expect to lose. They should lean into policies that ensure that they will win.

He is now dead from COVID. Fox News is silent. Why Biden’s popularity is a direct result of bad journalism: Zakaria asked the right question: CNN’s Fareed Zakaria pointed out that many of Joe Biden’s successes should have elicited good poll numbers. Journalist Amy Walter’s response was lacking in that it failed to point out the media’s dereliction of duty. Arturo Dominguez discussing John Leguizamo, colorization, and Cuban misinformation.

I must be frank. Mr. Arturo Dominguez is one of my favorite writers. He has insight into racial issues, politics, and economics in general. Dominguez is at the intersection of where politics meet the masses. Precisely, he can discern the pain too often relegated to people of color (POC). In this segment, Arturo Dominguez discusses several issues. He tackles John Leguizamo‘s comment that he felt was racially insensitive, especially coming from a Latino part of the racial justice movement. “He should have known better,” Arturo told me before we went on air. “I know what it meant, but he used the wrong words at the wrong time.” Arturo also discussed the Cuban issue. He points out the inconvenient truth those of use from the region know. Rank and file Cubans do not hate their government. Moreover, many people, specifically POC, did not hold dignified employment (doctors, lawyers, engineers) until Castro kicked out the U. S. puppet Batista. After all, the same racist degeneracy from the U. S. existed in Cuba. Chec

L. A. Justice, writer & activist, tells us why she has now decided to become a dedicated voter: L. A. Justice bought into the myth that our vote does not count. She came around on her terms that it does. And she is doing something about it. Here is her inspiring story. Critics Say Trump Threat to Unleash Supporters on US Cities ‘Should Ring Alarm Bells’: “We can act forcefully to stop his new insurrection and punish his past crimes—or we can sit back and let the comet of autocracy strike,” said one critic. During Saturday night’s rally to promote the Big Lie, former President Donald Trump promised to pardon January 6 rioters if he wins in 2024 and warned that the United States would see “the biggest protest we have ever had” if prosecutors investigating his effort to overturn the last election or his tax-evading real estate empire “do anything wrong.” “If these radical, vicious, racist prosecutors do anything wrong or illegal, I hope we are going to have in this country the biggest protest we have ever

L. A. Justice bought into the myth that our vote does not count. She came around on her terms that it does. And she is doing something about it. Here is her inspiring story. (Video goes public after it airs for nonmembers.) While attending the #1619Project Book Club on Twitter Space, I heard something that raised my eyebrows with excitement. The leader of the book club project, L. A. Justice, got a bit personal about her voting. L. A. said that she has started voting and encouraging others to vote in the last few years. She did not vote for President Obama or anyone else for that matter. Her prose got to me because millions hold her reasoning for not voting. I encounter it often in my activism. I wanted to have her on Politics Done Right because her story will make others pause and reevaluate their decision not to vote. L. A. Justice is brilliant. Moreover, she is both a scientist, theologian, and historian. Convincing herself for decades that her vote did not matter may seem counterintuitive. But this is mor

Jen Psaki appeared on the 11th hour and touted the robust Biden economy. More importantly, she exposed the corporate saboteurs. Inflation is not real for most products. Corporate greed and abuse artificially inflated prices on products unrelated to the supply chain problem created by the shortsightedness of the corporate sector. While COVID19 is partially to blame, corporate greed and ineptitude is the largest reason. Fox News ad on YouTube TV on MSNBC Channel illustrates why America is misinformed and why GOP hacks win. Disregard all the talk about civil war. It is just another opportunity for Right-Wing grifters to stiff those they claim to support. These guys better hope that their sycophants remain asleep because when they realize they have been had by those they gullibly believed in, their reaction will not be kind. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/support
