MICKnuggets

Each day Bill records a MICKnugget, a one-minute take on some issue that got his attention that morning. Below are the scripts for last week’s NUGGETS.

05.22.23- The Opposition Media (Gannett)

The opposition media is after Ron DeSantis ahead of the announcement of his presidential run.

The USA TODAY NETWORK-FLORIDA, read that as Gannett, is the propaganda arm of the political left. It’s just that simple.

The tale is told in the first few paragraphs of the nearly 15-page article published in Gannett’s Florida papers this weekend.

It begins by saying DeSantis has pushed Florida legislation “far” to the right. Just using the term “far” tells you Gannett’s bent on politics.

It then calls DeSantis aggressive and accuses him of “targeting” marginalized groups by pursuing age-appropriate content requirements for sex and gender issues in our schools.

Apparently gender activism and indoctrination is what Gannett prefers for our kids.

And that’s only page one.

It’s told me all I need to know about Gannett’s coverage and how it needs to be ignored.

05.23.23- The Inmates & the Asylum

Usually, the inmates running the asylum is a bad thing. And maybe it always is.

Two examples from today’s show give us more perspective.

Number 1- a Missouri high school yearbook had a section on kids “hooking up” and using drugs and alcohol illegally. The behavior was glorified.

The school administration backed away from responsibility and said it was a student project that was unsupervised. It was the kids’ publication. That’s bad.

Number 2- Oregon high school boys have been ripping tampon dispensers from the walls of their restrooms and tossing them in the toilets. That’s also bad, but it makes a point.

The kids’ were more plugged into reality than the administration or the legislature that required the stupidity.

Yes, the inmates running the asylum is bad, but…

The inmates in the asylum aren’t always wrong!

05.24.23- The DeSantis Frenzy

WIDE OPEN WEDNESDAY’s second hour turned into a frenzy over Ron DeSantis announcing his run for the Republican presidential nomination.

Weighing our callers’ perspectives, Donald Trump is the clear frontrunner at the moment.

The primary season is young. It’s just getting started. Nikki Haley and Tim Scott are also in; there are certain to be others.

Each of the candidates has a track record and they are worthy of examination. None of them, none of them, live at the foot of the conservative cross.

Each has strengths. Each has flaws.

Do any of them have a plan?

That’s what a primary season is all about. It gives us as voters the opportunity to weigh each on skills and deficiencies.

As voters, we should be embracing the opportunity to have a debate that lines out each candidate’s positions and electability.

It’s about making the best choice and that, my friends, is yet to be determined.

05.25.23- A Glitchy Start

It was a bold move, making his presidential announcement on Twitter Spaces, but Ron DeSantis officially is in the running.

It was a glitchy start. The platform experienced technical problems that caused much of the online audience to give up before the substance of the night was presented.

Even so, DeSantis laid out several platform positions that will resound with much of the Republican electorate.

It’s early, the glitches can be overcome, but the question is, who rises to the top.

Donald Trump is there now, and it’s huge lead. But where was Donald Trump when he first announced? He’s proof of just how much things can change.

It won’t be an easy path and it’s likely to be an ugly campaign.

Ultimately, we will decide, but my concern is based upon what?

My hope it’s on issues and righting the country.

It’s a long way to the nomination.
