I can’t tell you what a joy it was to hear NPR when I was in rural areas of West Virginia, Maryland,
Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, or Pennsylvania. Solid News and often good music
too. Classical, blue grass, jazz, and R and B.

Trump is a cancer on America that I don’t know if we will survive and his burning America to the
ground by getting rid of Education, the Arts, Sciences, and human decency all helps Vlad Putin and
the 35% of mouth breathing dumb asses Americans who are racist, sexist, anti intellectual, Christo
Fascist, and generationally and culturally ignorant.

How I feel.
