Karel Cast 25-010 There’s a lot of talk about making America great again. But what about Americans? What about the people? Do you remember your passions? Your drive? Your goals. It seems today it’s all about survival and keeping pace with the world as we know it. But what do you LOVE in your life, or did you, that you would like back? Are you doing it now, or …. There has to be more to life than worry, stress, nonstop barrage of bad news and struggle. Remember when there was? How do we get back ...

Karel Cast 25-009 Joe Biden had one job: to keep Donald Trump from winning the Presidency ever, and he failed. Today, he stands side by side with the man he called oligarch to transfer power of the first world superpower over to a despot. It is the beginning of the end of Trump’s reign; four years that the USA will either survive, its institutions hold, or will crumble and become something new, something barely recognizable. Why? Because of 77 million of its people, or about 24%. Ignorant, fed u...

What's Holding Democrats Back from Winning in 2025? | Really Karel 🔥 Karel Cast 25-008 Trump and MAGA have, well, balls. They are offensive, abrasive, dismissive, they are exclusionary and ill-tempered. And they win. Consistently. Biden gave his farewell speech and used words like Oligarch and all kinds of dire predictions. But then, they turn around and shake Trump’s hand. And why do they never talk this way BEFORE elections? Why do they wait until they lose to make such statement. Do they wan...

Now, they have decided to not offer it in Nevada and CA, and other states, and are cancelling 300k policies. Not for nonpayment or too many claims, but just because they can. It’s almost impossible to insure a senior pet, and they know it. So why not leave people with the policies grandfathered in and just not offer them going forward? Greed. Pure and sim...

Will You Regret Not Fixing Your Anger Issues in 30 Days? | Really Karel Karel Cast 24-180 Last night I had a chance to go over writings of mine from my 30s and 40s. They were angry…and many verged on homophobia. Why was I so mad? And why did so many places want my show and column when I was? Anger today is what wins elections, but anger is ugly, and harmful. And fills me with regret. Nickel Boys, a new film, shows yet again the horrors of being Black in America in our recent past. Why aren’t all...
