    Do Aliens Exist? Part 2
    Aug 13 2025
    A recently discovered interstellar object being likened to a comet by some scientists is on an “extremely unusual course” that will take it close to three different planets: Venus, Mars and Jupiter, says Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb. Loeb believes the unidentified object is an alien craft saying, “The chance of a natural space rock randomly flying along that path is less than 0.005%.” Do you believe in alien life form? Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence says she believes aliens could “possibly be real”.

  • Governor Healey Faces Difficult Local Issues

    Governor Healey Faces Difficult Local Issues
    Aug 13 2025
    Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey is currently facing two challenging local issues. The first being, in no particular order, the ongoing Republic Services trash collectors’ strike that is now heading towards its seventh week. Healey sent a letter to the leadership at Republic Services calling them out for not answering or returning her calls and went on to say, “Your company’s failure to resolve or even meaningfully address this prolonged strike is unacceptable”. The second pressing matter is the indictment of Suffolk County Sheriff Steven Tompkins. Some lawmakers are pushing Healey to remove him from his position but she has yet to make a move, saying these are “serious” allegations in which she wants to know more. We discuss these pressing local issues.

    Trump’s Capital Crime Crackdown - Part 2
    Aug 12 2025
    President Trump held a press conference announcing what he calls, “liberation day in DC” where he announced his plan to crackdown on violent crime in the nation’s capital. Despite preliminary year-to-date crime comparisons from Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department that show overall crime in D.C. has decreased by 7% since last year, with violent crime down 26% and property crime reduced by 5%, Trump placed DC Police under federal control and activated the National Guard to combat what he said was a wave of lawlessness. Do you think the federal government needs to get involved with local DC crime?
