Hi Dean, long time listener, lifetime half Sicilian; our family history includes baseball bats! My great uncle, Claude Davidson played for Washington Senators 1918-1919 then injured. He was president of the New England League from 1926-1949. www.facebook.com/watch/?v=270...

That's the hallmark of a solid marriage, having a great sense of humor! I make my husband laugh even when he tries hard not to. 😆

Dean, a CNN clip is the perfect segue. I thought you of all people would appreciate all of the minutiae in this video. Trust me, I'm 1/4 Calabrian, 1/4 Sicilian; my grandfather came over from Castiglione on the Guiseppe Verdi in 1919! x.com/charise_lee/...

You should probably have us sign up and live stream it and raise money for a worthy charity like teachers needing supplies at the beginning of the school year!

He is still as arrogant as ever and has learned nothing; he was already arranging a speaking engagement in Miami next week.

Take a look at this photo, it is Robert J. O'Neill.

You're correct, I checked it out. What I also found out unfortunately, is that anyone receiving a pardon for federal crimes can still invoke his or her 5th Amendment rights in a subsequent state case. ☹️

My Friday night AMA question would be this: Were you ever in a room or at a function with Casanova and you knew who he was but he didn't know who you were? Also, I'm originally from CT and though we moved to FL in 1972, I'm a diehard Yankees fan. My younger brothers root for Bucs and Rays, ugh! 😄⚾

All you need to know is that their relationship, as we are all witness to, are akin to two legendary cartoon characters, Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote! 😉

I'm always at work for the AMAs, so I have to check in post chat. It's nice to see you; your back and forth with Angry is a staple on Friday nights and much anticipated! 😄

Wow, I had seen this clip recently and was not aware it was from 2019!

Do you follow Angry Staffer? If not, here is his link. He will talk you off whatever ledge you may be on. As far as mid-term elections, he said they are run by the states and so we will have them. bsky.app/profile/angr...

I read today that they already have enough confirmed Republican votes in the Senate to kill it. Have you seen Rand Paul on Fox "News" just apoplectic about how horrible and irresponsible passage of it would be? Now we wait...

Mrs. Frazzled does a great job breaking down the rhetorical power of satire, here. 🙌🏻

Liz, no doubt you are aware of Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma and its ultimate destruction in 1921. For those who are not, here is a very disturbing video documenting the horror that occurred just over 100 years ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kmR...

Before Central Park, there was Seneca Village, a predominantly Black community in Manhattan.

They were forcibly removed in the 1850s to make way for Central Park.

This displacement is recognized as a dark chapter in New York's history, involving the erasure of a thriving community.

I miss the fearless women who have gone before like Barbara Walters and, who could forget another take-no-prisoners journalist, the late great Helen Thomas!

Marcel Dirsus was interviewed by Dean Obeidallah last week and he is the German author of How Tyrants Fall and a book I'm now planning to read. In a nutshell, he said that what is saving us right now is the sheer incompetence of the entire administration on which he expounded.

I fantasized about being on the suing-Fox-News end of the equation. I would never settle, force them to fully comply with the discovery process gleefully enjoying how much they'd wiggle and squirm, and if tempted to cave, I'd set up a GoFundMe for my "settlement money."

Dean Obeidallah, putting on his lawyer hat once again, said that if Mr. Garcia decides to sue anyone, he should do so for being labeled a terrorist. He feels that would be much more of a winning strategy.

They stayed silent because it wasn’t their problem. That’s how injustice wins, not by force, but by the quiet approval of those who look away.

The system doesn’t need to break you. It just needs you to do nothing while it breaks others. And when it’s your turn, no one will be left to fight for you.

Agreed, and have you heard DeSantis talk about ending property taxes? Investors can then buy up all real estate in a depressed market after the coming recession, not pay tax on it, then sell or rent it out in a better market. They'll soon own enough to rig rental markets even more than they do now!

Florida voters should conduct a signature drive for a ballot initiative that permanently bars crypto and any other Ponzi scheme from being foisted upon taxpayers.

Another tell was how Hulk Hogan was an every day presence and then just disappeared from the face of the earth. That must have been after the WWE training was complete.
