The first Germans Hitler sent to the Dachau concentration camp near Munich were labor organizers and social activists. If you think you are immune from a similar fate at a concentration camp established by Donald Trump, you are deluding yourself. 

Dachau’s ovens mass-burned the corpses of countless political prisoners. Many were Jews, but many were not… including gays, non-Christians, cultural “sub-humans,” feminists, gypsies, Jehovah Witnesses, Social Democrats, Communists, democracy activists and “others” very possibly similar in some ways to you yourself. Likewise, Bergen-Belsen, where over 35,000+ dissident bodies lay lifeless (including that of Anne Frank).

In case you were wondering these are the camps where Hitler exterminated people:

Major Extermination Camps (Primarily for Systematic Killing)

1. Auschwitz-Birkenau (Poland)

He’s a wealthy scam artist snake oil salesman who’s cheated and stolen his whole life and conned his way into being president just a few years ago, and while president did pretty much whatever the establishment told him to do, even while giving speeches like an angry narcissist with a third-grade vocabulary. Then he tried to stay president, but his brownshirts turned out to be mostly brownnosers. Now you think he should get your “anti-establishment” vote?

He’s a serial rapist, abuser, and convicted felon who promises to use courts, police, and military to target his enemies, and you think he should get your “law and order” vote?

Many people are not aware that Columbus is home to several community owned radio stations that offer programming you will not find on mainstream stations.

Everyone is aware of our excellent public radio stations WOSU.org and WCBE.org. WOSU is well known for NPR news and the locally focused All Sides with Anna Staver (formerly Ann Fisher). WCBE’s focus on music and the arts includes Studio 35 and generous offerings from local bands.

They should be on your car radio presets but I hope this article will convince you to add 91.9, 92.7, 98.3, 98.5, and 102.1 – all “low power” non-profit radio stations available over the air in most of Franklin County and streaming online from anywhere! Note: newer cars often cannot pick up low power stations using the scan function. Try disabling the auto scan and go directly to the call number.

Tuesday, October 29, 2024, 6:00 – 7:30 PM
Location: Whetstone Library, 3909 N. High St. Columbus 43214.

If I’ve ever existed in a singer’s demographic, I’m in Clairo’s. I’ve played Clairo’s songs from the Atlanta singer’s newest album CHARMED from ANONROCKNROLL.

I’m Charmed by Clairo. I took the 2 from Campus and jumped off near the North Market.

Clairo walked out into the sold-out Kemba Pavilion in almost a prom dress. The original of Wu’s, “Tears” boomed into the evening. I stood around as high school, middle school, and college kids were enamored at a brunette from Atlanta, Georgia’s entrance. Clairo sat on the stage and drank booze with Clairo’s band while the Wu-Tang original seemed like pure essence.

Election day is approaching fast, and by now much of the public has heard the arguments for and against Issue 1, the constitutional amendment on the ballot that would make citizens, not politicians, responsible for redistricting. 

People from a broad spectrum of groups that support workers and a fair political system have worked tirelessly, canvassing door to door to combat the steady flow of misinformation from the opposition.

A lot of money has gone into the campaign against Issue 1, but who is behind these donations? Just a little bit of digging turns up the usual suspects, and they are all tied to finance capital and the fascist candidate for president, Donald Trump.  

Citizens not Politicians – the grassroots, non-partisan coalition that has worked for the passage of the amendment – clearly (and proudly) displays the organizations and businesses that support Issue 1 on their website. Prominent among these are unions like the AFL-CIO and the IAFF, and endorsements come from groups on the left, right, and center, from businesses and faith organizations.

Boeing workers in the Pacific Northwest are staying on strike, having voted to reject an offer from management. They are holding out for a real pension plan and better pay and benefits. In so doing, they are supporting themselves, but also helping other workers and the economy, which can only benefit when a major corporation improves its standards. Click here to tell them you support them!

The striking workers at Boeing know that the company’s top executives and wealthy shareholders have received billions in stock buybacks and dividends, while executives keep lining their own pockets (with the CEO expected to receive $20 million in compensation next year).

President Trump will go down in history as the US President who told the most lies. He spews lies like a slot machine spits out nickels. Trump should be the last person to complain about fake news and quit calling the US media the enemy of the American people.

Politico reported that Trump lied on average every five minutes over the course of 4.6 hours of speeches and press conferences. 

The Huffington Post recorded that he told 71 lies over the course of just one town hall event. However, 

The Washington Post reported in July 2020 that President Trump made over 20,000 "false or misleading claims." This amounts to an average of 23 false claims a day. (A polite way to describe lies.)

Here is my favorite 7 lies of Trump with my response:

1- President Donald Trump has lied for several years that he was honored as "Man of the Year." The truth is, he received only a plaque as a thank gesture for speaking at a Michigan Republican dinner in 2013.

Sunday, October 27, 12noon, Studio 35 Cinema & Draft House, 3055 Indianola Ave.

This Sunday [10-27-2024], the Simply Living Film Series returns with the first Columbus screening of the sequel to “Kiss the Ground,” “Common Ground.”

“Common Ground” is the highly anticipated sequel to the juggernaut success documentary, “Kiss the Ground,” which touched over 1 billion people globally and inspired the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to put $20 billion toward soil health. By fusing journalistic exposé with deeply personal stories from those on the front lines of the food movement, “Common Ground” unveils a dark web of money, power, and politics behind our broken food system.
