You think?

Platner’s tattoos can be written off as a youthful poor choice. 

However , no Democrats are covering up for the current allegations of sexual assault. Mtierney - you are confused because you have been covering for a rapist for some time now and think that is normal.

Caught the last 15 mins. Well, done.

Got some echo on your voice... intentional? Not a lot. I could still make out the words, so I'm thinking just an effect. 

Thanks, Dave.  Song selection is part of the fun. I spent weeks selecting and arranging those songs. Tune in next week. It will be a very diff show.

The WSJ asks why? Why, indeed? My guess is that Democrats fear an attack from the NSDNC and the DNC,  which hasn’t a clue who they are — or even what a winnable direction might be.

Why Did They Cover for Graham Platner?

The man with the Nazi tattoo was pushed by the leading Democrats.

I assume, by this point, you've broken every single wall in your glass house.

Another one related to handicapped spaces. They are not cart corrals. That extra space is to let people with mobility restrictions maneuver better.

Just in case you wondered what happened to the nutty Empire State Building couple…..Personally I think they should face stiff fines or jail time considering the disruption their climb caused.

Dear Friends,

Tomorrow, Monday, at 3pm I will be initiating my long-awaited free-form radio program, called ON THE AUX with The Soulful Mr T.

It will be broadcast on Internet radio at HOME GROWN RADIO NJ which you can find at homegrownradionj.com. I will be broadcasting every Monday from 3-6pm, with two weeks away for vacation in mid-August.

If you know me at all, you know of my love affair with a wide variety of musical genres. You'll hear all of them on ON THE AUX over the next few months. The first show will be a potpourri of stuff I dig, and that I think you will love, too. Worry not. It's all very accessible.

Over the next few weeks, I'll feature a show of Latin and Latin-adjacent music, a Psychedelic Cowboy show and a show dedicated to music of political and other hypocrisies. Be sure to tune in to these shows.

To listen to On the AUX on the Interwebs, go to homegrownradionj.com.com at 3pm Mondays and click the LISTEN LIVE link on the upper left corner of the page.

Please put it on your calendar: every Monday from 3-6pm. At homegrownradionj.com.

And let me know what you think.

The Soulful Mr T is on the air!

I'd click on the like button but it doesn't begin to express my excitement! I had no internet access since the storm but count me in for next Monday!

So, a happy Independence Day to you all!  May it be harmonious, joyful and may you find somewhere cool to celebrate 🍾🍾🍾🍺🍺🍧🍧

I found Pope Leo’s  congratulatory letter (and address) quite inspiring.

Mtierney, I wonder if you’ve read it yet, or heard reports of His Holiness’ visit to Lampedusa?

When you use the term “Russian allies” you are trying to smear the victims. You don’t seem to think they are worthwhile people or even Ukrainians. You just want them associated with Russia so you can make their deaths seem understandable and take the Ukraine Nazi side like tjohn who thought they should settle down and behave and follow their new master’s orders. 

Russia did not start this attack on the Ukrainian people of the Donbass. You need to acknowledge that. You need to acknowledge that sending Ukraine troops to fire on Ukrainians and to reject diplomacy was wrong. 

You really have a hard time understanding what you read, don't you? "Russian allies" isn't smearing anyone, it's a factual description. A group of armed men in eastern Ukraine seized territory and declared themselves independent from Ukraine. When an armed group announces that they are now separate from their government, they are described as "separatists." Russia supported these men with weapon, money, and even fought alongside them. That makes Russia an ally of the group.

In the fighting between the Ukrainian government and these separatists, many people were killed -- the most reliable estimate is 14,200 - 14,400. The majority of those killed were combatants -- either Ukrainian military personnel, separatists, or Russians fighting alongside the separatists. A much smaller portion of that 14,000 was civilians, killed by both sides. When you and your sources use "14,000" as a figure referring to civilians killed, and then further claim or imply that they were all killed by the Ukrainian government, it's a lie, as you are knowingly making a specific claim you know to be untrue.

Looks like it was a busy weekend. I would ask for the tl;dr version of the weekend's list of reasons why Putin is always right and all Ukrainians are Nazis, but I have a suspicion that it's basically the same as in the other 200+ previous weekends.
