In The Streets with Beverley Smith: Wiretaps, Russians,&Lies, Oh No! (Ep 89) - a podcast by the LMC Radio Network

Wiretaps, Russians, and Lies. Oh no!

The Washington Post reported that the United Arab Emirates arranged a secret meeting last January between the Trump team and a Russian authority. This secret meeting took place 9 days before Inauguration Day.

The Justice Department has announced that it will be reviewing all police reform agreements. There will be no further investigations of police brutality, signaling to cops everywhere that they may behave as curbside "Judge, Jury, and Executioners" whenever they please.

An Iowa state representative, Republican Shannon Lundgren, proposed a bill that would compel women who miscarry after the 20th week of pregnancy to carry their dead fetuses to term.

On Wednesday, the White House issued an executive order to establish a commision to combat drug addiction. The upshot: Whites will get rehab. Non-whites will go to prison.

The Tulsa cop who killed unarmed Terence Crutcher blames him for his own death.

On Monday, the Democracts claimed the votes necessary to block Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch. But this opens the door for the Republicans to go "nuclear."

Last week, the Iowa legislature approved a bill that reverses local minimum wage increses that had already been approved. This is the first time a state has nullified local minimum wage ordinances.Are you surprised that the Republicans voted UNANIMOUSLY for the reversal.

A black police officer who killed a 6 yr old white child during the pursuit of a criminal has been sentenced to 40 years. Why is it that officers can be held accountable when the officer is black and the victim is white, but not vice versa? Where is the justice for 7 yr old Aiyana Stanley-Jones, for example?

In Mississippi, a cruel new bill has a lovely name (HOPE) but it is designed to bring more austerity and suffering to those who are already poor.
