Boebert has also endured a public rupture with President Donald Trump after campaigning for Rep. Thomas Massie against Trump’s preferred candidate.” Boebert gained fame before entering politics as the owner of a gun-themed Colorado restaurant where the waitstaff carried firearms...Podcaster-in-Chief: Next month, Barack Obama will release a six-part podcast series via Audible called “A Great Book with Barack Obama” in which the former president discusses six books that have inspired him.  Titles include “The Fire Next Time,” by James Baldwin; “Song of Solomon,” by Toni Morrison; and – a personal favorite of mine – “All the King’s Men,” by Robert Penn Warren. (Variety). I'd be willing to bet that Donald Trump would never release a competing great books podcast series based on his favorites...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
