Friday, December 22, 2023 - 'The reason for the season' vs. the modern GOP & Netenyahu, too
from The Ron Show · host Ron Roberts
Alright; who's up for some uncomfortable political conversations with loved ones at Christmastime? Anyone? Anyone? Fine; I'll do it. The story of Jesus' birth - his parents refugees fleeing hostility - doesn't quite "hit" with the "reason for the season" crowd, but let's spell it out for ourselves if for no one else. Or, let me introduce you to Rev. Mitri Raheb, who'll put the current Palestinian crisis in perspective. Kudos to Atlanta Public Schools for making an "about face" and stating those state bonuses will be going to their educators, after all. Kudos, as well, to Dr. Michelle Au for framing a statement not dissimilar to the one that tripped up Stacey Abrams in 2022, on a video press conference earlier this week. She and three other panelists were bemoaning Georgia dropping nearly 150,000 kids off state Medicaid roles, many of them by mistake. We're STILL learning how Donald Trump tried to pressure people in positions to alter the outcome of the 2020 elections, with new audio of him trying to change the result now in Michigan. Sounds like more indictments in his stocking. Lastly, Joe Rogan got fact-checked on his own show/podcast and it's both hilarious and infuriating to hear how he goes from bashing Joe Biden for being old and feeble to shrugging it off when he realizes the gaffe wasn't a Biden gaffe but a Donald Trump flub.
