It Sheduer Sounds Like Collusion

Tuesday Apr 29, 2025
In this week's episode the Powell men engage in an intense discussion on the #NFLDraft and the fall of #SheduerSanders to the fifth round. Sanders was predicted to go no later than the second round while #America witnessed lesser quarterbacks including #TylerShough and #DillonGabriel of #Louisville and #Oregon respectively. What the duck (see what I did) ? the #ClevelandBrowns ended #Sanders after having drafted the aforemention Gabriel. The conversation turns to #ShannonSharpe and the lawsuit filed against him by 19 year old #GabrielZuniga. Zuniga please. RIP #Knicks legend #DickBarnett . All this and more. #MikeTomlin #PittsburgSteelers #NewOrleansSaints #NFLCollusion #DeionSanders #OchoCinco #ClubShayShay #Monique #KattWilliams

In this week's episode the powell en discuss the passing of #popeFrancis. It's clear to the guys that #JDVance mere presence was enough for God to call the #Pontiff home.

The guys discuss #KarmeloAnthony and the #firstdegreemuder charges for the death of #AustinMetcalf in #KuykendallStadium . In other news #HomelandSecurityChief #KristiNoem had her purse stolen.

In this week's episode the Powell men discuss the blatent criminality of the #TrumpAdministration. It appears that the so called #tariffwar was nothing more than an #insidertrading #stockmanipulation in order to enrich #Trump #oligarch buddies and it seems #congressional supporters like #MTG #MarjorieTaylorGreene who made a hefty 22 million with insider knowledge. This was straight outta the 80's movie #TradingPlaces where #EddieMurphy and #DanAykroyd bankrupted the Dukes. Meanwhile U.S. citizens are being disappeared to jails in #NayibBukele #ElSalvador . #Kilmar Ábrego García is unlawfully in #CECOT . The #SCOTUS ruling that he should be returned has been ignored. Can you say #ConstitutionalCrisis ? #PennsylvaniaGovernor #JoshShapiro was the victim or #Arson and #attemptedmurder. Not a peep from #MangoMussolini . #AOC #AlexandraOcasioCortez and #SenatorBernieSanders are still barnstorming the nation. People are pissed in #SaltLakeCity #Utah . The #NCAAMensFinal and #NCAAWomensFinal saw the #HoustonCougers blow a lead in a loss to the #FloridaGators and the #UConnHuskies beat the dog snot out of the #SouthCarolinaGamecocks. #GenoAuriemma is the goat.

In this week's episode the Powell men are MIA. In their place is a female Powell. Linda joins us this week to share here take on the world. As an ESL teacher she has a unique take on the draconian immigration policies of #Trump #Immigration policy. Topics discussed are the bought and paid for #Democrats . #HakeemJeffries, #ChuckSchumer are all owned by #Israel . #Palestinian deaths have crossed the 50K. That's 8K fewr than all of the U.S. deaths in #VietNam , more than the total losses from both #GulfWars . To me this qualifies as a #genocide .

When AIPAC Attacks

Tuesday Mar 18, 2025
In this week's episode the Powell men discuss the weakness of the Democrats and the capitulation of #ChuckSchumer. #AIPAC and the #Israelilobby has their hooks in a lot of U.S. politicians. The aforementioned #SenateMinorityLeader , The #HouseMinorityLeader #HakeemJeffries is also in their pocket. From this lens, the #Democrats voting for the #GOPSpendingbill makes sense. What's good for #Trump by extension is good for #Israel . #America needs a reboot. The guys also share their thoughts on #MarchMadness and the success of #RickPitino at #StJohns . The city is electric. #NIL money has changed the college basketball landscape. 3JamaicaQueens is back on the map. The #WNBA is going through some things. The ladies want mo money mo money mo money. #CaitlinClark has boosted TV ratings along with #AngelReese. The question is have they boosted it enough. With #JuJuWatkins on the horizon perhaps they should wait. Your thoughts?
