The Village Oak Tree Sunday Edition July 28th, 2024

This Sunday, my friend Mitch and I are back to talk about the things in the news that affect all of us one way or another right now. Everything from politics to the environment and everything in between. Our first subject is Mitch's revelation about how banks are issuing old money as if it were new bills. Is there something going on with the banks and the Federal Reserve we don't know about? The biggest topic of the week is of course the passing of the baton to Kamala Harris a week ago and what has been going on since. We also delve into the war in Gaza and Ukraine, what we think V.P. Harris's stand on that might be, given her past and latest speech after meeting the Israeli P.M. Truthfully, we are unsure and want to see more. I brought up an article I found about recycling plastic, and we talk about how recycling or not, is being handled in our communities. How the world can't live without plastic, but we can't live with it either, as far as waste is concerned. We talk a little bit about the pro-Palestine protests and how they are planning to return in full form come September after the summer break. We discuss the pullout of U.S. troops from Iraq this fall and how that may affect foreign policy. Trump's latest speech to a Christian Nationalist convention telling them that if he is elected, they don't have to worry about voting again in four years. We talk about how ominous that sounds. Come join us again to find out if any of these news stories have an effect on your thinking. At the end of the program, I read you another chapter from Michael Campi's serialized story, The Priest (formerly known as Bob) to continue to highlight what the U.S may look alike after the crash.
