What the US Government Truly Values – Shocking Insights! | Breaking News 2025 | Really Karel Karel Cast 25-37 Trump cuts 1300 jobs at the Department of Education...EDUCATION. Do we not value education? Should we not be expanding education, schools, facilities, staff? Obviously not. So let’s face it, we don’t value education. In fact, Social Security about to be staff reduced, so we don’t value taking care of our aging, our sick. So in all honesty, what DOES the Trump Administration and AMERICANS...

Broken Hearts Can Kill Karel Cast 25-35 Gene Hackman literally died of a broken heart in one of the strangest celebrity stories of the year. It's everyone's worst nightmare, demented, alone, lost. How did someone so famous, and rich, end up this way? From the "you learn something knew every day" file: Did our founders speak English, with no accent, or did they have British accents? Who, exactly, were these men, and where did their parents come from? And from the music and entertainment file, Lad...

Karel Cast 25-34 I got a letter to day from Live Out Loud, a LGBTQ youth support organization. It’s bad. And HRC, and others, post every day about new horrors against the community. THIS is why my perspective on the USA right now is different. Because no one is coming to help the LGBTQ community of America. No one came before. No one is coming now. And today’s youth have been protected, coddled, shielded from the homophobia of the 50s, 60, 70, 80s, 90s…they’ve lived in a world of Chappel Rhône a...

Lies, Bombast and Fascism: The State of the Union Karel Cast 25-33 100 minutes of lies, bombast and fascism...that was what delivered as the State of the Union Address in the United States. But in recent polls only 34% of Americans think we are heading in the right direction. So what is their plan? Do they really believe there won’t be another election so the electorate doesn’t matter? And the lies? Why didn’t more Democrats walk out, or not attend all together? Canada, Mexico, now hate us. Are ...

It’s much worse than we thought. Orangina is becoming very hated, quickly, and so are Americans. And what are THEY concerned with? Ukraine. Gaza. Tariffs.

What Truly Terrifies You? Karel Cast 25-24 Fear is used in so many parts of our lives. Politicians use it to get us to vote for them; religion uses it to get you to convert; media uses it daily to shape their coverage. People are dying from floods and weather in Kentucky and Tennessee. There's a death cult whose members just got caught. Guns are everywhere. I've been thinking a lot about fear and how it just doesn't serve us, or America.

Rents are out of control; mortgage rates and interests; groceries; fuel; utilities; internet; autos and so much more. No place exemplifies this more than California.
