Mark Belling Podcast #104: An astonishing video exposes the depth of the Minnesota Somali scandal, two really dumb ideas gain traction in Wisconsin and the astonishing bull market in precious metals
The Somali scandal explains everything: crooked Democrats, insane immigration policy, an inept media, a welfare state easy to defraud and the nincompoopery of Tim Walz. Also, the price explosion in gold and silver, a proposal to remove huge chunks of Brewers parking and are smartphones making children myopic (literally, myopic)?

Mark Belling Podcast #103: It's the weekend Big One. A conservative star says all of the Hollywood movie studios will end production in five years. But, Mark points out Song Sung Blue (the Lightning & Thunder movie) succeeds because it avoids Hollywood's biases and condescension. And, our weekly football preview.
Mark discusses the critical acclaim for Song Sung Blue, the movie about a Milwaukee musical couple and how the film avoids the normal Hollywood condescension toward middle America. A new theory on why President Trump is targeting Venezuela, and Milwaukee's corporate welfare recipient Kanan Haywood Sr. offers yet ANOTHER plan for his 27th and North project. (He's years overdue in paying back his massive taxpayer-funded loan.) And, our weekly football preview including a discussion of whether the Packers will be motivated now that they have clinched a playoff spot.
