Bishop Mariann Budde is being attacked mercilessly for calling for mercy. We start this episode with something her detractors in the Trump Administration and the media won’t give you: her own words. You can judge for yourself if anything she gave in her appeal to President Trump for mercy was remotely “nasty” or even vaguely wrong. Next, We look at how SCOTUS has rejected Montana’s attempt to use the Independent State Legislature (ISL) theory to circumvent their courts’ rulings on their measures to suppress voting – SCOTUS got this one right!

Then, we give a special look at misterG’s report on his friend Ahmed, a wonderful musician and teacher living in Gaza who has been steadfast in spreading music despite the genocidal warfare there.

Finally, we look at how Alabama’s “work release” program makes the state so much money that they don’t like granting parole – it reduces the number of prisoners they can profit from. All this and more on TMI for Friday, January 24, 2025 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

Atlas Shrugged Ayn Rand Congress Conservative Politics Episode Montana Nancy Mace Sarah McBride The Secret Toxic Masculinity Transgender Transphobia WSUM Zooey Zephyr

TMI 11/22/2024 – The Inisidious Effect of Atlas’ Secret, How Sarah McBride Has Become Far More Consequential Than Any Other Freshman Congressional Representative, more

On this week’s episode of TMI with Aldous Tyler, we look at how two books, taken together, help explain much of the ethos behind modern American conservatism. Not only do we speak to how Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” had been an obvious cornerstone of the “I’ve got mine, screw you” crowd, but how insidiously “The Secret” managed to creep in and influence our current state of politics.

Next, we look at how tensions flared in Congress as incoming Representative Sarah McBride (D-DE), poised to become the first openly transgender member of Congress, found herself personally targeted by Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC). Mace, in a highly controversial move, criticized McBride’s right to use women’s restrooms, arguing that McBride should be forbidden from accessing them due to her transgender identity, going so far as to introduce legislation to keep all transgender people from being able to use the restrooms that correspond to their presentation. We go over how McBride’s response differs from that of Montana State Representative Zooey Zephyr when she was faced with targeted discrimination in the Montana Legislature, and what the implications are for all transgender people who visit Federally-owned facilities.

Bidenomics Billionaires Climate Climate Lawsuits Climate Reparations Democratic Party Electoral Politics Episode Eruption Health Insurance Medical Marijuana Montana Tonga WSUM

TMI 08/18/2023 – How Betting the Campaign on “Bidenomics” is a Mistake, Montana Agrees It Owes Its Youth for Their Climate Future, Medical Marijuana Lowers Premiums and more

The re-election campaign of President Joe Biden is all in on “Bidenomics” as the core acheivement of the President’s first four years, and that’s backed up by macro-economic indicators. However, that’s only true because the AVERAGE economic outlook has been imporvaed only by how much STAGGERINGLY better the billionaires are doing – most of the rest of us aren’t feeling it.

Then, we look at how last year’s eruption in Tonga is adding to the human-made climate crisis and how Montana’s courts are agreeing with young climate activists: the state OWES them a better climate future.

Finally, we look at how studies are showing the opposite of the doomsayers’ predictions about medical marijuana – it is LOWERING health insurance premiums in those states that have it! All this and more on TMI for Friday, August 18, 2023 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!
