Harris Excitement
Even though this podcast is a little obsolete, we're putting it out there.. We talk from the hip about our predictions and our reactions to President Biden's decision not to run. "I was sad for about three seconds, then -- Holy Cow this could be really cool." Walz makes our Democratic principles...

Podcast #5 - 34 Felonies and Counting
"We're the 99%. We should 'expletive' start acting like it." We think we could fix a lot of "stuff" in one election if given the chance. Which we're not sure people want to give us. Liz makes an outrageous bet and Judy takes her up on it! And the three of us wonder why people are still sticking…

30 Things Biden Has Done To Make Our Lives Better

Second 2024 Podcast

2024 Engagement Is Required

Thoughts on Abortion Today
Women's rights are being progressively hacked away from Republicans on the right. Doctors are moving away from states with abortion bans and restrictions, leaving women without medical care whether they are 19 or 90. Most Americans overwhelmingly are for legal reproductive freedoms like trust in...
-
Wish Mash With 2
Barb and Liz amuse each other while Judy's not really on vacation. Hee Hee. Just kidding. She's working hard and vacationing from us. We found the idea of the Republicans who want to prevent Trump from running because he tried to overturn the election vis a vis the 14th Amendment to the U.S....
-
Indictment #3
We agree that whether or not a judge “leans conservative” as Judge Canon in Florida for Indictment number 2 the “Documents” case or “lean liberal” as Judge Chutkan in D.C. for Indictment number 3 the “January 6th” case, doesn’t matter. The law is the law. Judy shares the “buzz” that Ivanka and...
-
Supreme Court Rulings
Once again our illustrious Supreme Court teases us with some voting rights decisions the American people agree with and then dumps three very contentious anti diversity, pro Christian, anti Constitutional (in the words of Justice Kagan) decisions on us. Where do we go from here? We, along with…

Special Edition: Indictment #2
Indicted by the U.S. Justice Department Former President Trump is determined to darken the already dark times in a Republican America where minority politics rules. For Republicans, loyalty to party rules over the established rule of law and the threat to our democracy is as real as ever.
-
All Our Woes
Judy, Liz and Barb talk about a range of issues, most of which make them crazy. The activist Republican (versus conservative) Supreme Court heads the list. Followed by the erasing of our history of enslavement, Jim Crow, the Holocaust, and more and how it's tied to new white supremecist laws in...
-
Special Edition: Lifetime Gag Order Would Be Nice
SPECIAL EDITION, The IndictmentWhen money and power are involved “they” get rid of their conscience and accuse 92 year old George Soros of pulling D.A. Bragg’s Black strings. Dog whistle time. Can we please leave a holocaust survivor alone so he can give money to any racial justice PAC he feels...

We All Deserve Healthy Food
"So we're about to go back to SNAP benefits that run out after 20 days and require unhealthy eating habits for seniors and single parents and other low income families to survive! Sad that we can't keep these benefits for our country's poorer citizens. And we are glad that our county jail is not...
-
2023 Take 1 or if you're in Congress Take 15
Congresswoman Brobert won by 546 votes in the Colorado 3rd. Is that a mandate? No. Congressman Santos lied about just about everything. "Who doesn't lie on their resume?" The three of us! Do we really need a congressional investigation at taxpayer expense on school boards that don't allow right...
-
Sometimes We Feel Like We're In The Twilight Zone
Democrats are not "devilcrats" who eat babies. We're just neighbors to everybody. We're just people who want the same things as everyone else. We feel we shouldn't hate each other. We should disagree, there's a difference. Why do Democrats in rural "red" areas feel that they have to hide their...
-
Post-election Rehash
We start off crowing and feeling, "Blessed to have a 'friggin' governor-elect, Josh Shapiro, who is respected and appeals (for now anyway) to a wide electorate. Not to mention, but we do, our new Senator from Pennsylvania, thanks to help from rural counties, John Fetterman. And, we float onto…

-
Goodby Roe, Primal Scream
As women podcasters we are teetering between hope and hopelessness as "our" Supreme Court runs amuck. We are grateful that we dodged the "administrative coup" bullet in 2020 but only if Democrats get out in droves and vote for Democrats this November. After all, the Republican candidate for the...
-
Saving Democracies One At A Time
Ukraine we're on your side. We think we Americans must show a united front against Putin no matter who we think is to blame. Let's try to undermine Putin's agenda by talking up the benefits of living in a liberal society like ours. (Though it's sagging a bit.)
-
Misc Thoughts on Gas Prices, Billionaires, Polarization & Ukraine
Judy, Barbara and Liz each take a topic: "Gas prices are not Biden's fault and he can't fix them; Polarization is not Biden's fault and although we don't discuss this, he can't fix this either, it's us versus them and they must win; and a pipe dream regarding "billionaires," let's reduce them to...

-
Pre-Holiday'21
Gun rights seem to outweigh abortion choice rights and Barb and Judy do not think that that is right! In fact they are so outraged that they frequently neglected to finish their sentences. Also, Blow's Op-Ed, Omar's death threat and more!
-
BIF Part 2
The Republicans are winning the media messaging. We want to send a winning message with the BIF (Infrastructure) Bill. CRT vs. BIF. BIF is For the People. CRT is a dog whistle. Road and bridge repair across the country, drinking water infrastructure, broadband for all including our rural county…

BBB & BIF Sort Of
Wouldn't it be nice if Democrats could actually pass some form of President Biden's Build Back Better and Infrastructure bills? We think so too. Democrats need to VOTE and they need to pass legislation for ALL AMERICANS once they are elected.
-
Bad Doctors are Spreading Misinformation
Trusted medical professionals in our Senate, in our country, are spreading misinformation throughout the internet and all over social media. A very small group of doctors, some in our own rural Pennsylvania community, are advocating anti-vaccine and anti-mask positions that go against what...
