Just a little bio on JM: Joe Mazzulla, the coach of the world champion Boston Celtics, grew up in Johnston, RI and went to Bishop Hendricken HS (where he won three consecutive state championships), and then to WV for his college career. Like the recent response to the Royal family question, he has responded to several post game interview questions with his very casual and witty, and what the press/media calls "faith based" responses. All of that and he has now lead the Boston Celtics to the NBA Championship. He would probably make a great public servant, and, who knows, maybe he will run for public office some time in the future.

Regarding your conversation today with Jimmy about the "1 Hour" news cycle. I think you hit the nail on the head... again! I talk about this with friends here in RI all the time. Everything is sensationalized, even the most common and mundane events like the weather, local stories about the police or traffic, stuff like politics and even the culture wars... almost everything is sensationalized way beyond its actual importance to the average citizen, and then condensed into a thirty or even fifteen second sound bite followed by two minutes of commercials.

I know deep dives on important topics are available if you look for them, but some people I talk to just believe what they hear on the local news, and that's it. They don't try to understand what's going on around them by doing the research, reading about current events or taking a FREE online course from Hillsdale College or some other sane, more conservative source.

Keep up the good work. Please don't stop telling it like it is.

Lastly... I kept looking at the bottom left side of the screen hoping to see a rabbit hop by outside your window. Not today! LOL

There's a whole bunch of things that you've figured out Steve because you're a very bright guy with good common sense.....I've always told my kids that common sense isn't as common as it used to be. That too, could be a victim of the internet, hahaha.

But you're on point with the college professor who should be teaching calculus online but there's no other professor out there willing to give up their current position at a college and allow that to happen that way.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on the school voucher programs around the country. Naturally, the public schools don't like anything that could pull resources from their systems but they either want children to get an education or not. If they weren't doing such a terrible job there would not be this perceived threat. And if they think that they ARE doing as good or better than Christian based private schools that parents can send their precious children to be educated vs indoctrinated into the whole Left's way of living and men wearing red dresses and guys competing against females in sports and all the backward agenda coming from the Left, then compare the standardized test scores from private school students vs public school students' test scores.

There's no good way to say it but when you look around Biden and who's in his orbit, many folks, myself included just see Obama fingerprints everywhere, not just at fundraisers, assisting Biden getting offstage.
