POPULARITY
Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: A group of so-called moderate Republicans has filed a pitiful appeal for a measly compromise bill in place of the sweeping aid package Democrats have planned. Will Joe Biden listen to them? We’ll see. Meanwhile, just before his second impeachment trial, former President Donald Trump’s legal team is crumbling, as five attorneys abruptly quit this weekend, saying the President’s focus on unproven conspiracies made their jobs impossible. And lastly, John Weaver, a former Republican strategist and co-founder of centrist spin-shop the Lincoln Project, is accused by 21 different men of sexual impropriety and harassment in an extensive New York Times article. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: Here’s the deal. The Democrats control the House, the Senate and the Presidency. But what one group of Republicans wonder is... what if they could have a little power too? A group of moderate Republicans including Lisa Murkowski and Mitt Romney sent a letter to President Joe Biden on Sunday pleading him for a compromise stimulus bill that would pass the Senate without any procedural maneuvers, fearing that Democrats would, you know, competently use their power and bypass the filibuster to pass a sweeping stimulus bill and actually help people. To be clear here: the Democrats are in control. They do not have to listen to the groveling moderate Republicans, who are asking Biden to simply slash unemployment aid and further tweak direct stimulus payments to serve even fewer people. They don’t have to do that! And yet, here we are. Biden has previously indicated that he was open to further means-testing on the direct payments, and we’ve already seen how fast the Democrats moved the goalposts on $1400 payments instead of $2000 ones. So what the question now becomes is: is an actually somewhat-helpful stimulus bill more important to the Biden administration, or do they think that curing the elusive moderate Republican consensus is a better strategy going forward. I certainly know what sounds to me like a better strategy, but then again, I’m not Joe Biden. Impeachment Lawyers Ditch Trump Were you enjoying the AM Quickie relatively free of Trump Administration depravity and shenanigans? We were too, but we’re going to hit you with one little blast from the past today. That’s because Trump’s legal team is absolutely imploding in advance of his second impeachment trial. The Washington Post reports that five, count em, five lawyers quit Trump’s defense team over the weekend. According to the post, the lawyers quit because Trump was insistent that they structure his case around the argument that he actually won the election. In other words, the big man himself wanted to lean hard into the baseless, pathetic conspiracies, while his legal team wanted him to instead argue that impeaching a President who has left office is unconstitutional. The second argument is probably a lock to make sure Trump gets off the hook. The first one, who knows? Trump replaced the departing lawyers with two more chumps assumedly willing to play out his intensely dumb strategy in front of the Seante. The devastating thing about all this is it’ll probably still work. The Democrats probably aren’t going to get the 17 Republican votes they’d need to actually convict Trump no matter how bad his legal case is, because the Republican party does not care in any way about things like “crimes” or “laws.” But still, it’s nice to know that Trump hasn’t gotten any smarter once he left the Oval Office. Lincoln Project Cofounder Accused A new report by the New York Times alleges that John Weaver, a longtime Republican strategist and co-founder of the centrist-conservative PR shop the Lincoln Project acted inappropriately sexually harassed 21 young men throughout his career in politics. The article contends that Weaver, “exploited his power,” in the words of one victim to groom men as young as 14, often pursuing them aggressively through text and DM conversations, asking about intimate physical details and hinting at sexual acts. The harassment and grooming did not lead to actual physical encounters, fortunately, except for one case that the Times reported was consensual. None of the men involved allege that Weaver did anything criminal, fortunately, but the sheer number of accusers does suggest his behavior was part of a dangerous, predatory pattern. Remember, this is a guy who was at the time a big name in Republican politics: a top advisor to McCain in 2000 and 2008 and to John Kasich in 2016. Weaver issued a statement on the allegations in Mid-January acknowledging inappropriate messages and apologizing if he had made anyone uncomfortable -- the standard response, in other words. The rest of the Lincoln Project’s leadership for their part, is throwing their co-founder under the biggest bus possible, releasing a statement claiming that they were not aware of Weaver’s behavior until just a few months ago, and calling him “a predator, a liar and an abuser.” That all may be true, but it’s highly unlikely that any of Weaver’s cronies at the organization were blissfully unaware of his predatory double life. AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: What will it take to get Marjorie Taylor Greene out of Congress? Repesentative. Cori Bush, a new progressive legislator, has moved her office location with Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s permission and support after a disturbing altercation with the conspiracy-obsessed congresswoman. In Russia, government police forces cracked down on protests in support of opposition leader Alexi Navalny, who was jailed by Vladimir Putin’s regime after surviving an assassination attempt. Thousands of protesters were arrested after facing brutal assaults on the streets -- something many Americans are pretty familiar with at this point. Don’t lose sight of the GameStop stock story this week, as we could see with markets opening on Monday how likely the day-trading Reddit army is to successfully put a squeeze on hedge-fund short-sellers. Democratizing the stock market isn’t going to really change the status quo in America, but it sure is nice to see the suits get a bit sweaty every once in a while. And finally, after the start of the pandemic recession last year, the heads of Exxon and Chevron discussed a merger, which would bring the two biggest descendent companies of John D. Rockefeller’s famous Standard Oil monopoly back together into... well, not a monopoly this time, we swear. Federal regulators broke up Standard Oil the first time, so we can only hope that they won’t be excited to let it reform.

:19 - Tuesday kicks off day one of the Senate impeachment trial, a month or so after the House impeached the president. So what does all this mean, and what should folks expect. Dean Carro from the Akron Bar Association shares his thoughts. 7:40 - A video surfaced of former Cavs guard Delonte West on the street, presumably homeless, after getting beat up. Should the NBA step in and do something, or is there anything they can do? 11:49 - Monday’s gun rally in Richmond, Virginia was met with scrutiny even before it started, with folks in the media immediately naming it a white supremacist gathering not unlike Charlottesville. SACS Consulting president and CEO Tim Dimoff touched on the gun laws and the second amendment. 18:50 - Mid-January, with the chilly weather and cabin fever, is unfortunately time for Seasonal Affective Disorder and depression. That topic was discussed with the panel this morning. Be sure to follow us on our various social media platforms.

Hey everyone! I am super excited to bring you this edition of Through Conversations Podcast, featuring the impressive Professor Katharine Gelber. Professor Gelber is Head of the School of Political Science and International Studies, and Professor of Politics and Public Policy at the University of Queensland, Australia. Her expertise is in freedom of speech and speech regulation. Her most recent book is called Free Speech in the Digital Age where she analyzes from a range of disciplinary perspectives, how the new technologies and global reach of the Internet are changing the theory and practice of free speech. This conversation was much needed as we talked about an issue that has been increasingly influential in our society: Hate Speech.We talked about how difficult it is to define hate speech and how can we identify if something really is hate speech, what have we interpreted as freedom of speech, hate speech and its repercussions on civil discourse, what is the chilling effect, social media and its effect on civil discourse and much more.Regarding the chilling effect, I have to point out something that I have been thinking about a lot. Professor Gelber has found evidence that this does not happen--I decided not to define what’s the chilling effect right now because I want you to listen to the conversation and get the idea by yourself.However, how can we quantify the true preferences of people if they hide it from the public? In other words, if the chilling effect is truly happening, I still don’t see how can we find evidence that supports it.In this conversation I tried to understand in a deep manner what professor Gelber has found regarding hate speech and speech regulation and I find it truly amazing and important for us to understand what hate speech really is so we can have tools to identify it but also acknowledge what is not hate speech. One thing for sure is that something that offends one but does not restrain any of one's rights, subordinates one and ranks one as inferior is not hate speech.This conversation will really help you to see clearly that there has been a disconnect in the way we communicate with ourselves, specially regarding difficult topics. When someone hurts one's feelings it does not mean one is being a victim of hate speech, and it has become increasingly evident that we have associated hate speech with feeling offended.After this episode, we will take a break for the holidays and we’ll return on Mid-January with more. I want to thank everyone who has supported this Podcast by reviewing it, subscribing to it or sharing it with a friend. It means a lot.I hope this conversation gives you as much as it gave me to reflect on.With you, Katharine Gelber.---Read More about Professor Gelber's work hereBooks:Free Speech in the Digital Age.Free Speech After 9/11Speech Matters: Getting Free Speech Right.Journal ArticleThe Effects of Civil Hate Speech Laws: Lessons from Australia---HIGHLIGHTS(3:40) How did Professor Gelber become interested in freedom of speech?(4:42 ) Has censorship migrated towards hate speech?(5:09) Why is hate speech an elastic term?

For anyone who doesn't live in Tampa, Gasparilla can be a real head scratcher - what is it? Mid-January, us Tampa Bay residents are getting our beads ready. So what is Gasparilla? Gasparilla Pirate Festival was inspired by the legend of Jose Gaspar, who supposedly was a Spanish Naval officer-turned-pirate back in the late 18th century and early 19th century who plundered the waters of the West Coast of Florida. Now, there is no actual evidence that this really happened, but nobody cares about that little detail. Back in 1904, the story of Jose Gaspar was unearthed and Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla adopted him as a patron rogue of their city-wide celebration. That celebration has been evolving ever since, and now the Gasparilla invasion and pirate parade is the third largest parade in the United States, attracting around 300,000 people to the city of Tampa. Even though the pirate invasion is the main draw, there are lots of other Gasparilla-themed events that take place over several weeks: Children's Gasparilla Parade - family-friendly, bead-throwing good time for all ages. Parade route runs along Bayshore Boulevard, and this usually takes place the week before the main pirate invasion. Alcohol-free event. http://gasparillapiratefest.com/childrens-fest/ Gasparilla Parade of Pirates presented by Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla - held on the last Saturday in January, Ye Mystic Krewe fearlessly pilots their ship up Tampa Bay, firing off cannons until it reaches the city shore. Once there, they demand the key to the city from the mayor. When the mayor gives up the key, they have a victory parade up Bayshore Boulevard, and the pirates take over for one not-so-fearful afternoon. http://gasparillapiratefest.com/ http://ymkg.com/ Even if you're not a 'parade person,' you should still make your day downtown and enjoy the festivities throughout the day at the local bars and restaurants.

Hello Everyone!We open this week's show with a reflection of our year. We talk about the show, areas we want to improve in the year to come, and the important highlights in our lives. We find it's important to look at the good moments and find ways to cultivate more of them moving forward, especially in a year that was difficult for many of our listeners.Our main topic is a continuation on our yearly retrospective: journaling and self reflection. We talk about how and why we journal, and detail two different styles that are commonly used: Bullet Journaling and Emotional Intelligence Journaling. We go through the strengths of both styles and how these can be used to focus your life, focus your strengths, and aid you in living an intentional, uninhibited life.As this is the final show of the year we at Feral Attraction wish you and those in your life a 2018 that is fulfilled with love and laughter. We will be back in Mid-January with our first episode of Season 3.For more information, including a list of topics, see our Show Notes for this episode.Thanks and, as always, be well!
Amanda and Jenn discuss bread-making, nonfiction for teens, survival stories and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by A Selfie As Big as The Ritz by Lara Williams and The Bride Who Got Lucky by Janna MacGregor. Questions 1. Hi! I recently got into baking and was wondering if you have any great bread making cook books. Just bread, not baking in general. If it’s from a famous bakery, that would be nice! Thanks a ton! P.S. an email reply will suffice :) --Elena 2. TIME SENSITIVE: I am a recent convert to the world of Romance, but I am feeling overwhelmed. I had tried different things over the years but just never found something that felt like MY romance. And then I discovered Penny Reid. I read Truth or Beard and then promptly flew through the rest of the existing Winston Brothers series, and now I am flying just as quickly through the Knitting In The City Books. But...I'm almost out, and it will be months before her next book is out. I love how smart, sweet, and nerdy her books are, while still being plenty hot and having a great plot in addition to the romance. Definitely looking for a contemporary setting, and love the feel of the interconnected friend/family saga with each book focusing on one member of the group. This request is time sensitive as I'm getting ready to travel on business for two months (mid-November through Mid-January,) so I need to fill up my Kindle as I won't be able to carry physical books. Help! --Emiily 3. Hello! My daughter and her friend are in grade 7 and need to be reading more science non-fiction (according to their teacher). She feels that the girls will be more comfortable participating in class discussions. Any recommendations (specifically global warming & organic food if possible). They read National Geographic but otherwise I'm at a loss. Thank you!!! --Sandra 4. Hi Jenn and Amanda, I am looking for books with an Asian man love interest. The sexuality of the protagonists doesn't matter to me (not trying to say that they don't matter, but want to clarify that the relationship can be M/M, M/F, M/gender fluid, etc), but I am having trouble finding a book that doesn't portray Asian men and boys stereotypically as "nerdy" and not romantically desirable (those two things should never be linked!). I tried WARCROSS by Marie Lu but didn't enjoy it and I'm not sure where to go next. I prefer adult novels to YA and I enjoy pretty much every genre. Thank you! --Joce (pronounced Joss! :D) 5. My reading interests are all over the place, which is easy in some ways because there are always lots of books I want to read, but hard to find ones that I really love. Some all-time favorites include: Random Family by Adrian Nicole LeBlanc, In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, Birds of America by Lorrie Moore, and The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. guess I'm looking for well-written books with captivating/give me the feels characters. If you notice another common thread in those favorites, please enlighten me! --Karoline 6. I've recently discovered HBO's Girls and am obsessed - I would love some really modern femininisty books that have that same feel. I've read Lena Dunham and Maggie Nelson this week (loved it) as well as Fun Home and Bitch Planet - where do I go from here for smart, funny feminist lit that also entertains? 7. Hey Amanda and Jen! I have always loved what I guess I'll call "survival" novels. Growing up I loved Hatchet and My Side of the Mountain and Julie and the Wolves. As an adult, I've enjoyed Wild, Tracks, and The Martian. Basically, I love stories of someone learning to survive on their own whether by choice (Wild) or because of a bad situation (The Martian). I'm looking for more titles to fill this particular place in my heart. Thanks for your help! --Jackie Books Discussed Flour Water Salt Yeast by Ken Forkish Beard on Bread by James Beard Hate To Want You by Alisha Rai Radio Silence by Alyssa Cole (Off the Grid series) We Are the Weather Makers by Tim Flannery World Without Fish by Mark Kurlansky, illustrated by Frank Stockton Hold Me by Courtney Milan Wrong to Need You by Alisha Rai (out Nov 28) Kevin Kwan’s Crazy Rich Asians series Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese The Fortunes by Peter Ho Davies Losing It by Emma Rathbone All Grown Up by Jami Attenberg Adrift by Steven Callahan Once Upon a River by Bonnie Jo Campbell (tw: rape) Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing

Chapter 83: "Sky Beats Gold" ...as read by Marty Lunn of Zao and Young Fox Marty Lunn has been heavily involved in the greater Pittsburgh scene for his entire life. He goes into a lot of detail back in March on the Urban Achiever podcast, but I wanted to hit on a few different things than what he rolled out with Bill. I became friends with Marty because of my relationship with Scott and Zao and we got to spend some quality time in the van between Canada and NY. Marty and I try to cover some of the in-between stuff that he hasn't discussed before...including a lil' hockey. I'm happy to help his band Young Fox with their full length coming "Sky Beats Gold" on Spartan Records in Mid-January!

Looking to buy a Greensboro home? Search all homes for sale Selling your Greensboro home? Get a FREE home value reportToday we will be discussing how to time the spring market in the Triad if you're trying to sell your home. Should you put your home on the market now, or wait until there is more activity? We're going to explain what you should do right now.I always get asked about when the best time of year to sell a home is, and the truth is that it depends on a few factors. If you're trying to capitalize on the increased activity in the Greensboro area, you need to list soon. If you look at the 2015 numbers, you'll see in last March we had a 30% increase in sold units from the previous month. The thing you might not realize is that those homes that sold in March were on the market by Mid-January.Right now, we are seeing the same number of showings as we did at this point last year. The only thing that could possibly put a damper on this is bad weather. Freezing rain and snow will put a slowdown on any activity in our area.However, right now the weather's not too bad. If you're trying to sell for top dollar when that spring market hits, you want to consider putting your home on the market sooner rather than later. There are massive amounts of buyers out there looking and if you don't act soon, you could miss them.If you have any questions for us, or if you're thinking of buying or selling in Greensboro, give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you!

We will be discussing The 'Siege' at Honobia! Bigfoots had been harassing a family who lived deep in the sticks in Honobia, Oklahoma for some time. The family had planted a lot of Austrian snow peas, a crop that deer loved to eat, so deer congregated on their property. The family then hunted the deer for food, mostly by spotlighting at night. They stored deer meet in a freezer in a shed outdoors. The Bigfoots were coming around the house mostly at night, attacking the house with rocks, banging on windows and doors, screaming and yelling, stealing deer meat from the freezer, damaging property, and just in general raising Hell. These incidents took place at a rural homestead outside the town of Honobia, Oklahoma in January of 2000. Some BFRO contacts went to visit the family. They stayed overnight and were impressed.
