For the last few Wednesdays, I've done a late-night radio show on WRTC at Trinity College in Hartford, CT. I call it "Old School Dance Jams." The show features danceable music of the 1970s and '80s: disco, funk, soul, rap, dance-rock, house, new wave, and more. If you'd like to get your groove on, click the link below!

ZIONISTS: Do you support Israel's right to exist?
MY RESPONSE: People have a right to exist; countries don't.
May you live your life in such a way that you need not fake assassination attempts for pity.
It speaks volumes about this president's credibility (or lack of it) that if an attempt is made on his life, millions of people instinctively call bullshit and assume it was faked.
RFK Jr's new podcast is best heard on "mute."

First he fired Kristi Noem and now Pam Bondi. Rumor has it that Tulsi Gabbard could be next. While I certainly don't feel sorry for them, I find it interesting that so far, Fanta Face has only fired women.
