YouTube video by Bingham Boys Podcast Episode 1: Legerdemain 4.30.25

Myself and Ron Yengich started a podcast.
We talk about our immigrant family's blue collar Democrat roots, Trump, more Trump, unions, the Pope, Trump again, and the Moonlight Gardens.

A bit long we are told, but it beats death scrolling ...

Bill Maher is the Kid Rock of Comedy and it isn't funny. Bad things happen when proximity and journalists..and comedians...meet.

Television's Eyewitness News format and its negative impact on American journalism and democracy.
YouTube video by Lynn Kenneth Packer Television's Eyewitness News format and its negative impact on American journalism and democracy.

Lynn Packer does more research than any reporter I've ever known. He's won all the awards.

Give a listen and you may agree that the state of affairs in America was along time coming.

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

Hmmm. How about the opposite?

Are you among the 19 people who have visited both Rich and Daggett counties?

They have near equal pull to Salt Lake County but with a million less people.

Can we combine Sanpete, Sevier and Paiute?

Hell, the entire Western half of Utah could be a single county.

Re: Hegseth Testimony today.

We will soon know if Utah Senator John Curtis is of sober mind and judgement, or if he drinks from the same power drunk bottle as Mike Lee and Spencer Cox.

Bundle up Bluetah, it's going to be a long, cold four years. Private Eye

If red counties want to leave blue states, the opposite is also true.

I wouldn't mind leaving red Utah.
