GOP Threats to Election Officials Imperil Future of American Democracy: ‘BradCast’ 3/15/2022
As difficult as it has historically been to recruit competent, non-partisan election officials and pollworkers, a new survey suggests its about to become much worse.

‘Forget the Cheese. Let’s Get Out of the Trap’: Still Seeking Peace for Ukraine: ‘BradCast’ 3/7/2022
The war porn continues on too much of the corporate media. Too many pundits. Too many self-declared experts without actual expertise or who have ideological axes to grind.

Trump Dumps Landmark Anti-Nuclear Pact with Russia, Media Move On: ‘BradCast’ 2/5/2019
So, a 30-year old, landmark nuclear arms agreement between the U.S. and Russia is now history. Just like that. And, beyond a few short hours of media coverage, it now seems all but forgotten.

‘On Notice’: Public Pressure Working; Trump Flailing; CDC Self-Sabotaging: ‘BradCast’ 2/2/2017

Decision Suspending MI ‘Recount’ Threatens What’s Left of American Democracy
If allowed to stand, the reasoning behind U.S. District Court Judge Mark A. Goldsmith’s December 7, 2016 decision [PDF] in Stein v. Thomas to halt the Michigan presidential “recount” is flawed, at best. Issued, ironically enough, on the day we commemorate what President Franklin D. Roosevelt described as “a date which will live in infamy”, […]
Clueless GOPers; Hillary Poll Plummet; Court-Ordered Presidential Election Do-Over: ‘BradCast’ 7/13/2016
Today on The BradCast, the Republican Party remains a mess, some Democrats remain in denial, Cleveland remains a tinder box in advance of next week’s RNC convention, and if only the concerns about electoral fraud and the need for citizen oversight were taken as seriously in this country as they are in other nations. While […]
