Rush Hour of Ridiculousness

This week on Something Ain’t Right, the stupid is coming at us faster than Chris Tucker in a buddy cop movie. Trump’s Department of Education decided nursing is no longer a “professional degree”—because apparently saving lives isn’t professional enough. Meanwhile, Trump is pressuring Oracle’s Larry Ellison to crank out a new Rush Hour film, because when democracy is crumbling, what we really need is Jackie Chan. Experts are warning the Internet might go down in a big way, so start practicing your carrier pigeon skills. And to top it all off, science says we are officially getting dumber—IQs are dropping across the board, ushering in what we can only call the Stupid Times. Frangela is here to laugh, cry, and side‑eye our way through it all, because truly… something ain’t right.

Maximum Incompetence & Minimum Transparency

This week on The Final Word, we are serving you a buffet of incompetence with a side of foolishness. The Justice Department forgot to show the grand jury the Comey indictment—because apparently, reading is hard. Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan is out here proving that “trustworthiness” is just a word you put on a vision board. Meanwhile, Pam Bondi promises “maximum transparency” on Epstein records, which is like us promising “maximum salad” at a barbecue—girl, please. Trump is threatening to fire his Treasury Secretary if interest rates don’t drop, and defending Khashoggi’s murder with a shrug and a “things happen.” Add in Texas’s racist maps getting blocked, voters leaning blue, and Trump calling for ABC’s license to be revoked, and you’ve got Frangela breaking it all down with laughs, outrage, and the kind of side‑eye that could power the grid.

Things Are Pretty Crappy: Legal Homicides, Shady Contracts, and MAGA Whiplash

Things Are Pretty Crappy: Legal Homicides, Shady Contracts, and MAGA WhiplashThis week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela-style truth-telling is in full effect as we break down the mess that is America right now:One in four households are living paycheck to paycheck—because apparently, trickle-down economics means trickling into your overdraft fees.A firm tied to Kristi Noem quietly scooped up cash from a $220 million DHS ad contract. That’s right—while you were budgeting for groceries, they were budgeting for yachts.Jacksonville leads the nation in “legal homicides” thanks to self-defense laws that seem to have a very specific definition of “threat.”And some Indian-American MAGAts are shocked—SHOCKED!—to discover that racism doesn’t hand out honorary passes. Welcome to the party, y’all.It’s messy, it’s maddening, and it’s exactly why Something Ain’t Right exists.

Epstein Emails, Maxwell Mayhem & Mortgage Madness

This week on The Final Word, the receipts are dropping like confetti at a scandal parade. The Epstein files reveal emails where Jeffrey Epstein himself wrote that “of course Trump knew about the girls.” The House Oversight Committee released three emails that suggest Trump was well aware of Epstein’s crimes involving young women—and yet, whispers swirl about whether he’s considering a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s convicted co-conspirator.Meanwhile, the White House was caught flat-footed when Trump floated a 50-year mortgage idea like it was a new TikTok trend. And the October jobs and inflation reports? Apparently “likely never being released.” Translation: if the numbers are bad, just hide them under the rug and hope nobody notices.And let’s talk approval ratings: only 33% of Americans now approve of Trump’s management of the government, down from 43% in March. That’s not a dip—that’s a cliff dive.Tune in for the laughs, the outrage, and the truth bombs—because this week’s final word is: “The cover-up is worse than the crime… and the crime was already horrific.”Frangela swag available at https://www.zazzle.com/store/frangela!

SNAP Judgments

Racists are feeding AI slop to social media to exacerbate racial animus and continue to pit poor people against other poor people.Trump is two-faced and The US Treasury has shared a draft of a coin to commemorate that.Kristi Noem bought many concepts of a plane from Spirit Airlines.Norman Rockwell's estate is fed up with Trump's people co-opting his paintings to push, you guessed it, racism.

Ballots, Bailouts & Billionaire Blame Games

This week on The Final Word, the voters said “Not today, Satan—and not in 2028 either.” Democrats swept elections across multiple states, flipping governorships, legislative chambers, and ballot measures like it was a clearance sale on common sense.California passed Proposition 50 with a strong 64%—giving Democrats the power to redraw five congressional districts in response to Republican gerrymandering. Because if you’re gonna play dirty, don’t be mad when the other side brings a mop.Meanwhile, Trump blamed the losses on the government shutdown—and reminded us, he wasn’t even on the ballot. Sir, your fingerprints are all over this mess like a toddler in a pudding cup.The shutdown just broke records:SNAP benefits delayedInsurance costs spikingAnd the FAA cutting air traffic by 10% in 40 major markets just to keep planes from playing bumper cars.And finally, we drag the corporate-owned legacy media for failing to cover any of this with the urgency it deserves. Because when billionaires own the headlines, the truth gets buried under stock tickers and celebrity gossip.Tune in for the receipts, the rage, and the righteous read—because this week’s final word is: “If democracy’s a fight, we came swinging.” Our Sponsors: * Check out Bioma Health and use my code FRANGELA for a great deal: https://gobioma.com/FRANGELA * Check out CBDfx and use my code FRANGELA for a great deal: https://cbdfx.com * Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.com * Check out PharmaNutra and use my code FRANGELA for a great deal: https://pharmanutra-us.com * Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.rosettastone.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE COUNTRY | Something Ain't Right

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we’re asking the question that should’ve been screamed from the rooftops: Why are top Trump officials moving onto military bases like it’s Camp MAGA? Is this a relocation or a rehearsal for something we should be worried about?Then we dive into the Great Gatsby-themed party Trump threw on the eve of SNAP benefit cuts. Because nothing says “Let them eat cake” like flappers, foie gras, and 42 million Americans wondering how they’ll eat next week.Next up: That Hug. Did Eria Kirk just soft-launch JD Vance like he’s a new skincare line? We break down the body language, the optics, and the “I’m not saying it, but I’m saying it” energy.And finally, the Heritage Foundation—yes, that think tank—just defended an open Nazi. We’re not talking dog whistles anymore, we’re talking full-on bullhorns and tiki torches.Tune in, grab your pearls and your protest signs, because this week’s episode is giving: “The call is coming from inside the country.”This week on Something Ain’t Right, we’re asking the question that should’ve been screamed from the rooftops: Why are top Trump officials moving onto military bases like it’s Camp MAGA? Is this a relocation or a rehearsal for something we should be worried about?Then we dive into the Great Gatsby-themed party Trump threw on the eve of SNAP benefit cuts.

Farmers FA & FO

This week on The Final Word, we’re asking the real question: How do you “find” $5.3 billion for troops but let 42 million Americans go hungry?  It’s giving “We support the troops, but not the people who feed them.”The Congressional Budget Office says the shutdown could cost us $14 billion in permanent economic damage if it drags through November. Meanwhile, SNAP benefits are set to lapse for the first time ever, and ACA premiums are jumping 26% next year. Translation: the government’s broke, but somehow still shopping at Gucci.Then Trump demands that Jack Smith and others be “investigated and put in prison.”  Sir, you’re not a judge—you’re just mad your mugshot didn’t get a People’s Choice Award.A Democratic congressional candidate in Illinois got indicted for allegedly impeding an ICE agent during a protest. We’re watching both the charges and the spin.And finally, farmers and lawmakers are holding their breath for the Trump-Xi meeting, hoping for a bailout. Because nothing says “America First” like begging China for a check.Tune in, grab your receipts, and clutch your constitution—because this week, the final word is: You can’t spell “shutdown” without “shady.” Become a Frangela patron at Patreon.com and get three exclusive Micro Idiot podcasts each week as our thank you for your support.

East Wing Down, Troops on Layaway, and HBCU Side-Eyes

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we’re serving up a hot plate of “What in the actual hell?” with a side of “You can’t make this up.”First up: billionaire Timothy Mellon gave the Pentagon $130 million to pay troops during the shutdown. Sir, are we crowdfunding the military now? Is this GoFundMe for guns?Then, a group declaring themselves to be “Black people for White supremacism” decided to roll up to an HBCU during homecoming. Spoiler: It’s giving “We brought the wrong energy to the cookout” and the cookout said “Try Jesus, not us.”Meanwhile, the White House East Wing is gone—demolished like common sense in a Trump press conference. What did we lose? Offices? History? Dignity? We investigate what’s missing and what’s being built in its place (hint: it rhymes with “bribe shack”).And finally, the Trump administration says it plans to “monitor” key elections in Democrat-led states. We call that “Big Brother but make it petty.” Because nothing says “free and fair” like a man who tried to overturn the last one showing up with binoculars and bad intentions.Tune in, grab your flannel, and clutch your Constitution—because this week, Something Ain’t Right, and we’re naming names with receipts.Become a Frangela patron at Patreon.com and get three exclusive Micro Idiot podcasts each week as our thank you for your support.

No Kings, Just Beef, Bribes & Ballrooms

This week on The Final Word, the streets are speaking and the message is loud: No Kings. From Paris to Pittsburgh, citizens are mobilizing like it’s a global Beyoncé tour—but instead of glitter, it’s righteous rage and cardboard signs that slap.Then we get into the man Trump pardoned for his January 6th role—who allegedly turned around and threatened to kill House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries. So much for rehabilitation. It’s giving “I learned nothing” energy.Meanwhile, Trump wants the Justice Department to pay him $230 million for investigating him. Sir, you are not a contestant on Shark Tank. You don’t get reimbursed for being shady.In North Carolina, Republican lawmakers drew a new congressional map so crooked it needs a chiropractor. And in farm country, GOP senators are calling Trump’s plan to import Argentine beef a betrayal of “America First.” Spoiler: the cows are confused, and so are we.Also, the White House says there are “no plans” for Trump to meet Putin “in the immediate future.” Translation: they’re waiting for the right lighting and a fresh can of hairspray.And finally, the Treasury Department told staff not to share pics of the East Wing demolition or Trump’s new privately funded bribe shack/ballroom. Because nothing says transparency like “don’t post the evidence.”Tune in, flannel up, and get your side-eye ready—because this week, the final word is: We see you.

No Kings, Just Chaos: From Kash to the Louvre

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we ask the question nobody else will: What’s wrong with “No Kings”? Nothing—except it needs a movement, a soundtrack, and maybe a few indictments. We dive into David Brooks’ piece, America Needs a Mass Movement, and honey, we agree—but not the kind that comes with merch and a memo.Then we get into Kash Patel: Did he ruin the FBI, or just pull back the curtain on a mess that was already giving “deep state but make it petty”?Meanwhile, the U.S. is out here attacking Colombian rebel boats like it’s a Bond movie—right as Trump cuts aid. Coincidence? Or just another episode of Dictator Cosplay: Global Edition?And finally, we bring our investigative masterpiece The Mindful Thief to the Louvre heist. What went wrong? Who got played? And why does it feel like Ocean’s Eleven meets Oops, All Diamonds?Grab your crown, throw it in the trash, and tune in—because Something Ain’t Right, and we’re naming names.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Memos, Meltdowns & Magazine Covers: Democracy on the Ropes

This week on The Final Word, Frangela is fired up and breaking down the latest episode of “What Fresh Hell Is This?”First, Trump signed a memo—yes, a memo—giving his administration expanded powers to repurpose unspent federal funds. We must’ve missed the part of the Constitution where laws get rewritten via sticky note.Then, as the government shutdown drags into its third week, Trump’s threatening to permanently cut more “Democrat programs.” Translation: if you need help, he’s not here for it.Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is out here sharpening its scissors to snip the last threads of the Voting Rights Act. Because apparently voting is just too democratic.Over at the Pentagon, they tried to roll out a fascistic press policy, and nearly every major news outlet said “nah.” When Fox News is giving side-eye, you know it’s bad.And in the “Sir, this is a Wendy’s” category, Trump is whining about his Time magazine cover photo. Because nothing says presidential like pouting over lighting and angles.Oh—and just to round out the horror show, the administration is floating changes to immigration policy that would favor white people. Yep. That’s not a dog whistle—it’s a foghorn.Frances and Angela are here to drag the madness, uplift the truth, and give you The Final Word on a week that proves democracy is hanging on by a thread—and that thread is rolling its eyes.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Nobel Delusions, MTG’s Reality Tour, and the Experimenting with The End of the World | Something Ain't Right

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela is coming in HOT because the chaos is nonstop and the nonsense is next-level.First up—have y’all seen Trump lately? He’s mad about not getting the Nobel Peace Prize, posting after-midnight ramblings that look like a cry for help wrapped in a typo, and making mysterious trips to Walter Reed that got us side-eyeing harder than ever. The vibes? Off. The spelling? Worse. The concern? HIGH.Then, in a plot twist no one saw coming, Marjorie Taylor Greene just broke ranks with Trump’s GOP and decided she’s living on Earth One now. Yes, that MTG. We don’t know what timeline we’re in, but it’s giving glitch in the simulation.Meanwhile, a Rutgers professor targeted by MAGA says “someone” canceled his flight. We’re not saying it’s a conspiracy, but we’re also not not saying it’s a conspiracy.And just when you thought it couldn’t get wilder—scientists are out here proposing an experiment that could end all life. Or maybe it won’t. But they wanna try it anyway. Because apparently curiosity now comes with a side of existential dread.We are breaking it all down with the energy, the receipts, and the righteous rage you need to survive another week on this spinning ball of foolishness. Because when the Nobel’s missing, MTG’s lucid, and science is flirting with extinction... Something Ain’t Right.

Insurrection, Shutdowns, and Birthday Brawls—Is This Real Life?

First up, Trump “floated” invoking the Insurrection Act—because apparently court orders are just suggestions now. He wants to deploy the National Guard to Democratic cities like it’s a game of Risk, and Oregon Republicans are out here posting fake images to hype it up. Photoshop and foolishness, y’all.Then we check in with Attorney General Pam Bondi, who showed up to a Senate hearing and gave nothing but insults and sneers. No answers, no accountability—just full-on Real Housewives energy.Meanwhile, the Trump administration is planning to withhold back pay from furloughed federal workers after the shutdown ends. Because nothing says “thank you for working without pay” like... not paying them.And speaking of the shutdown, flight delays are stacking up nationwide. Air traffic controllers are short-staffed, unpaid, and still keeping planes in the sky while the government plays chicken with basic services.And just when you thought it couldn’t get more absurd—The White House is hosting a UFC fight for Trump’s 80th birthday. That’s right. A cage match. At the people’s house. We. Can’t. Even.Frances and Angela are here to laugh through the madness, drag the nonsense, and give you The Final Word on a week that proves once again: reality is broken, and we’re just living in it.

ICE in Chicago, AI in Hollywood, and Soybeans in Shade | Something Ain't Right

Frangela is on FIRE this week, and Something Ain’t Right is bringing the heat because the chaos is coast-to-coast and coded in all kinds of wrong.First up, we dive into the mess in Chicago, where ICE and federal agents are out here harassing, intimidating, and allegedly assaulting law-abiding citizens—especially people of color. It’s not enforcement, it’s terror tactics. And we’re not staying silent.Then we ask: what’s really up with that $20 billion financial package for Argentina? Turns out Argentina took the check and ran—straight to China. They cut the U.S. out of the soybean deal, and American farmers are left holding the empty bag. That’s what happens when diplomacy turns into dysfunction.Next, we’re apparently competing with AI actors now. Meet Tilly Norwood, a fully artificial “performer” seeking Hollywood representation. So not only are jobs disappearing, but now we’re auditioning against code? Somebody unplug this nonsense.And finally, Trump’s speech in front of military leaders was a masterclass in fear-mongering and confusion. It didn’t inspire—it alarmed. The room was tense, the message was murky, and the concern was real.Frances and Angela are here to drag the madness, uplift the truth, and remind you that when the world’s upside down, Something Ain’t Right is the place to flip it back.

Shutdowns, Shake-Ups, and the Comedy Sellout

This week on The Final Word, Frangela is here to break down the madness with the clarity, sass, and side-eye you need to survive this hostile government takeover.First off—yes, the U.S. government is closed. Trump and the GOP refused to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies, and Democrats finally said “enough.” We unpack what a shutdown really means, what it could mean, and what Trump wants it to mean (spoiler: it’s not good).Then, in a move that’s as petty as it is unethical, the Trump administration directed federal employees to blame Democrats for the shutdown—using taxpayer-funded websites. That’s your money being used to gaslight you. Cute.Meanwhile, the job market took a nosedive: 32,000 jobs cut in September, and August’s “gain” of 54,000 was revised to a loss of 3,000. We’re calling it what it is—economic whiplash with a side of spin.Next, Trump signed an executive order pledging a U.S. security guarantee to Qatar after Israel’s strike in Doha targeting Hamas leaders. International diplomacy or is this the price of that plane? We’ve got thoughts.And then there’s Secretary of Crazy/Defense/War Pete Hegseth, who gathered hundreds of top military leaders just to body shame, threaten, and bore them into oblivion. It’s giving insecure middle school bully with a budget.Finally, we take on the soulless participation of U.S. comedians in the inaugural Riyadh Comedy Festival—funded by the Saudi government. We love comedy, but not when it’s bought and sanitized by authoritarian regimes.Frances and Angela are bringing the truth, the fire, and the final word—because when the government’s closed and the circus is in town, somebody’s gotta keep the lights on.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Fair Housing Rollbacks, Fake Babies, and Ryder Cup Rage—We’re Tired | Something Ain't Right

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela is over it. Like, deep sigh, long stare, “is this real life?” levels of over it.First up, the Trump administration is working overtime to roll back enforcement of fair housing laws. Because apparently, making it harder for people to live with dignity is the new national pastime. We break down the policy, the impact, and the audacity.Then, in a twist of global generosity that smells like selective compassion, the U.S. is ready to extend a financial lifeline to Argentina. Meanwhile, folks here are rationing insulin and dodging eviction notices. Make it make sense.Next, we ask the question no one wants to answer: why are people spending $8,000 on lifelike baby dolls called “reborns”? Is it therapy? Is it delusion? Is it just rich people being weird again? We investigate.And finally, the Ryder Cup turned into a showcase of fan ugliness that felt like a direct reflection of Trump’s all-caps America. Booing, brawling, and belligerence—because even golf isn’t safe from the nonsense.Tune in, because Something Ain’t Right—and we’re not pretending it is.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Deranged Diplomacy, Measles Madness, and the Tylenol Theory of Everything | The Final World

Welcome back to The Final Word, where Frances and Angela are holding it down on Earth One—because somebody has to make sense of this mess.We kick off with Donald Trump’s “deranged” performance at the United Nations General Assembly. It was less diplomacy, more open mic night at a conspiracy convention. From Ukraine maybe taking extra territory to science being whatever he feels—we’re unpacking the chaos, the cringe, and the consequences.Then we turn to the tragic shooting at a Dallas ICE field office, where one detainee was killed and two others critically wounded. It’s a horrifying reminder of the violence baked into our immigration system—and the silence around it is deafening.Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel is back on ABC after public pressure made Disney rethink his indefinite suspension. We all did that people! Take your bow!And in a blast from the viral past, measles cases in the U.S. just hit their highest levels since 1992. That’s right—anti-vax nonsense has officially brought us back to the nineties, and we are not amused.Also: Trump now claims Tylenol causes autism. Yes, you read that right. Apparently science is now based on vibes, and we’re all just living in his fever dream.Plus, your emails—smart, funny, and full of righteous rage. We read them, we love them, and we shout you out.Frangela’s got the truth, the tea, and the side-eye you need to survive another week on this spinning ball of foolishness. Buckle up, because The Final Word is here to drag the madness into the light.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Frangela Give The Global Side-Eye | Something Ain't Right

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela is taking you on a world tour of wrongness—and asking why the biggest stories on the planet are getting buried like your cousin’s mixtape.First up, Gen Z in Nepal said “not today, patriarchy” and overthrew their government, installing the country’s first female Prime Minister. That’s historic, revolutionary, and somehow... barely a blip in the headlines. We see you, young people. And we salute you.Meanwhile, the civil war in Sudan has displaced 14 million people. Fourteen. Million. But where’s the coverage? Where’s the outrage? Where’s the humanity? Something ain’t right.Then we look at the U.K., Canada, and Australia—three major players who just recognized Palestine. That’s a seismic shift in global politics, and yet the U.S. media is acting like it’s just another Tuesday.And speaking of Tuesdays, President Trump just vowed to defend Poland and the Baltic states if Russia keeps escalating tensions. This, despite not being able to increase sanctions against Russia. So... we’re talking tough but walking soft? Don’t hold your breath, y’all.Frances and Angela are here to shine a light on the stories that matter, call out the silence, and drag the nonsense with love, laughter, and a whole lot of truth. Because when the world’s on fire and the news won’t tell you, Something Ain’t Right will.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Mushroom Hikes, Barbie Rides, and the Twerk Heard ’Round Staffordshire

This week on Idiot of the Week, the foolishness is so potent, we’re convinced these folks woke up and chose chaos. Frangela is here to crown the dumbest of the dumb, and trust us—this week’s contenders did not come to play.First up, four hikers in the Catskills decided to trip while tripping—on magic mushrooms. Spoiler alert: nature didn’t vibe with their vibe, and they had to be rescued. That’s not a spiritual journey, that’s a taxpayer-funded babysitting session.Then we head to British Columbia, where a man was ticketed for driving a pink Barbie Jeep while impaired. Sir, if you’re gonna break the law, at least do it in a vehicle that can hit 10 mph.Next, we meet a woman in Staffordshire who misunderstood “family fun day” and stripped down to her bra to twerk—for an hour. Ma’am, this was not Fun Day After Dark. There were toddlers. There were juice boxes. There were regrets.And finally, a scuba-suited man pulled off a robbery at a Disney Springs restaurant. That’s right—he came for the cash dressed like he was auditioning for Finding Nemo: The Heist. So, who will take home the crown of Idiot of the Week? Tune in as Frances and Angela break it all down. Because stupidity is forever, and Frangela is here to document it. Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Lies, Violence, and Censorship: Our New Reali

This week on The Final Word, Frangela is cutting through the noise with razor-sharp truth and zero tolerance for the madness. Because when the headlines read like dystopian fiction, somebody’s gotta say it out loud.We begin with the deeply disturbing story out of Mississippi, where two men—one a Black student at Delta State University, the other a white unhoused man—were found hanged on the same day. The silence around these deaths is deafening, and we’re asking the questions the media won’t.Then we turn to the FCC’s very public tantrum, where Chair Brendan Carr threatened Disney over Jimmy Kimmel’s content—on a podcast. And just like that, Kimmel’s off the air. So now we’re canceling comedians through government intimidation? That’s not regulation, that’s retaliation.Not to be outdone, Secretary Ice Barbie—aka Kristi Noem—joined “Operation Midway Blitz” and proudly posted video of what turned out to be a wrongful arrest of a U.S. citizen. Because nothing says leadership like violating civil rights for clout.Meanwhile, former CDC Director Susan Monarez told senators she was fired by Secretary Brain Worm—yes, RFK Jr.—for refusing to rubber-stamp recommendations from his handpicked panel. Science? Facts? Apparently those are optional now.And finally, Kash Patel showed up to Congress and kept it unclassy, delivering testimony that was less “official” and more “unhinged group chat energy.” We’ve got the receipts and the side-eye.Frangela’s here to break it all down with brilliance, boldness, and the kind of clarity that cuts through the chaos. Because when the system keeps showing us it’s broken, The Final Word is where truth gets the mic.

Murder, Mistrust, and the Mess at Publisher’s Clearing House | Somethin' Ain't Right

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela is here to break down the madness with truth, wit, and a whole lot of side-eye—because the world is showing out and we are not letting it slide.First, we talk about the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk. Let’s be clear: how he died was abominable and wrong. But the right’s response? Vicious, performative, and dripping with irony. Suddenly, the folks who cheer on political violence are clutching pearls—and we’re here to unpack every hypocritical syllable.Then, after years of swirling scandal, the Epstein mess finally takes down a politician... just not an American one. We’re looking at the global fallout and asking why U.S. leaders keep dodging accountability like it’s a sport.Next, the Supreme Court drops a ruling that basically says: if you’re brown, you’re suspicious. That’s not justice—that’s profiling dressed up in a robe. We’re calling it what it is: dangerous, racist, and deeply wrong.And finally, in a move so petty it deserves its own soap opera, the company that bought Publisher’s Clearing House has decided not to pay some past winners. You thought you won a million dollars? Turns out you won a lesson in corporate cruelty.Frangela’s got the receipts, the rage, and the realness. Because when the system keeps showing us it’s broken, Something Ain’t Right is here to say it loud.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Political Violence, Vanishing Jobs, and the Ghosts of Democracy

This week on The Final Word, Frangela is bringing the heat, the receipts, and the clarity you need to cut through the chaos. We’re not here to play—we’re here to break it all down with intelligence, insight, and a whole lot of truth.We begin with the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. The media calls him a “conservative activist,” but we’re digging deeper into the rise of political violence and the dangerous role far-right extremism and white nationalism continue to play in American discourse. This isn’t just a moment—it’s a warning.Next, we unpack the staggering revision in job numbers: 911,000 fewer jobs than originally reported. That’s not a rounding error—that’s a reality check. What does it mean for working people, and why aren’t we talking about it more?Then we turn to Michigan, where a judge dismissed charges against 15 Republicans who signed false certificates claiming to be Trump electors in 2020. The implications for accountability and election integrity are chilling.Meanwhile, the Missouri House approved a new congressional map that conveniently erases one Democratic seat. Gerrymandering isn’t new, but this level of shamelessness deserves its own spotlight.And in a move that has civil rights advocates sounding alarms, the Justice Department is pushing to build a national voter roll database and share it with Homeland Security. We’re asking: who benefits, and who gets left out?Finally, Trump brushed off the release of his 2003 birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein as a “dead issue.” But when it comes to proximity to power and predators, we believe the public deserves more than dismissal.It’s been a craptastic week, but Frangela’s got the final word—smart, sharp, and unapologetically real. Tune in, because understanding the mess is the first step to cleaning it up.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Hitler Rehab, War on Chicago, and the Rise of the Lafufus | Something Ain't Right

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela is serving up a full plate of “what in the actual hell” with a side of righteous rage and a sprinkle of petty.First up, we cast the longest, deepest, most ancestral side-eye at the MAGA influencers who are out here trying to rehabilitate Hitler’s image. Yes, you heard that right. They’ve gone from rewriting history to straight-up auditioning for villain origin stories. We are not here for it, and we will not let it slide.Then we talk about Trump threatening the city of Chicago with the newly rebranded “Department of War.” That’s not a movie plot—that’s a sitting U.S. President threatening an American city. If your jaw’s on the floor, welcome to the club.Meanwhile, broadcasters at this year’s U.S. Open were allegedly told not to show negative reactions to Trump. And guess what? They complied. So now we’re censoring facial expressions? Blink twice if you’re being held hostage by bad optics.And finally, we tip our wigs to South Park for introducing us to the viral Labubu dolls—and their chaotic, bootleg cousins, the Lafufus. It’s giving haunted toy energy, and we’re obsessed.Frangela’s got the truth, the tea, and the side-eye you need to survive the madness.

Survivors Speak, RFK Jr. Gets Roasted, and Trump Tries to Play Mayor Maker

We begin with the powerful press conference held by survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at the Capitol. These courageous women stood tall, reclaimed their voices, and demanded real accountability from lawmakers. It was raw, it was righteous, and it was long overdue.Then we turn our gaze to Health Secretary RFK Jr.—aka Brain Worms—who got absolutely grilled by the Senate. More than 1,000 current and former HHS employees have called for his resignation, and after watching that hearing, we’re wondering how he’s still holding onto his badge and parking space.Meanwhile, Trump’s out here trying to play political puppet master, allegedly offering Mayor Eric Adams a federal job to quietly nudge him out of the New York mayoral race. Because nothing says “democracy” like backroom deals and hush-hush handshakes.Down in Florida, the state is gearing up to become the first to eliminate all childhood vaccine mandates—including for public school kids. We’re not saying it’s reckless, but if you hear coughing in the background, don’t say we didn’t warn you.And in a rare moment of judicial clarity, a Federal Appeals Court blocked Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members. Turns out, even the Constitution has limits—who knew?Plus, we read a bunch of your emails, and y’all did not hold back. From outrage to insight to pure comedy, we love hearing from you.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Astrology, Arson, and Attacks on Black Women—The Stars Are Not Aligned

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela is side-eyeing so hard we might sprain something. The foolishness is flying fast, and we’re here to catch every last bit of it.First up, Trump’s federal workforce cuts are looking real targeted—and not in a subtle way. Black women are being pushed out like it’s a clearance sale on competence, and we’re not about to let that slide. When your “restructuring” looks like a purge, something ain’t right.Then we take a detour into the bizarre: Trump’s Pentagon pick claims he’s being stalked by an astrology influencer. Yes, you heard that correctly. Not a foreign agent. Not a lobbyist. An astrology influencer. We don’t know what Mercury’s doing in retrograde, but apparently it’s got folks filing restraining orders.Next, in a move so wrong it defies logic, two firefighters were arrested and detained at an ICE facility while actively responding to the Bear Gulch fire. They were literally trying to save lives, and ICE said, “Not on our watch.” If that doesn’t make your blood boil, check your pulse.And finally, we dive into the Netflix documentary The Truth About Jussie Smollett??—yes, we’re adding our own question mark because the whole thing is still a mess wrapped in confusion, sprinkled with drama. Is it truth, is it spin, or is it just another chapter in the saga of “What Even Is This?”When the world keeps showing out, Something Ain’t Right is here to call it out loud.

Gassed Schools, Gunfire in Churches, and the Gospel of ‘Thoughts and Prayers’

This week on The Final Word, Frangela is grieving, raging, and refusing to let the madness slide under the radar. We begin with the horrific shooting at Annunciation Catholic School, where 23-year-old Robin Westman fired through church windows, killing two children and injuring seventeen others. And right on cue, the “thoughts and prayers” brigade dusts off their empty platitudes while doing absolutely nothing to stop the violence. We’re not here for it.Meanwhile in Portland, ICE—Trump’s personal army—gassed a public school into submission. Because apparently, protecting children now means traumatizing them with chemical weapons. The cruelty isn’t just the point—it’s the policy.The FDA quietly revoked emergency use authorizations for COVID-19 vaccines and restricted access to new shots. And RFK Jr., aka Brain-Worm, fired the newly confirmed CDC director for the crime of not supporting Trump’s agenda. Science? Facts? Public health? Not in this administration.Over at FEMA, at least 30 employees were placed on administrative leave after signing a letter warning that Trump’s leadership has left the agency unable to respond to major disasters. When the people tasked with saving lives are sidelined for telling the truth, something ain’t right.And in Trump’s latest fantasy firing spree, he claims to have dismissed Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook over unproven mortgage fraud allegations. No evidence, no process, just vibes and vengeance.But we end on a high note: Democrats flipped a Republican-held Iowa Senate seat, breaking the GOP’s supermajority. It’s a glimmer of hope in a week full of heartbreak.Frangela’s got the fire, the fury, and the final word on a week that proves once again—if you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.

Evil Lawn Signs, Re-Hooterization, and the Sex Positivity Panic

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela is serving up the truth with a side of side-eye so strong it might cause whiplash.First, we roll up to Douglas Dietrich’s front yard, where he’s decided to go full xenophobic with a sign asking Trump to deport his neighbors. Yes, you read that right—he skipped the dog whistle and went straight to the bullhorn. We’ve got questions, but mostly we’ve got judgment.Then we head to California, where families thought they’d found a safe haven for their transgender kids. But now, clinics are halting care, leaving vulnerable youth in limbo. In a state that’s supposed to be progressive, this is not just heartbreaking—it’s infuriating.And just when you thought the early 2000s were safely behind us, Hooters is staging a comeback. Neil Kiefer wants to “re-Hooterize” the original "breastaurant," because apparently what the world needs now is more wings and objectification. We’re not sure who asked for this, but it wasn’t us.Finally, we tackle the loaded question: is sex positivity a “lax attitude” when raising a teenage girl? Or is the real problem the way people react to the idea of girls having agency, knowledge, and boundaries? Spoiler alert: the pearl-clutching is loud, but the hypocrisy is louder.Frangela’s got the receipts, the real talk, and the righteous fury to help you make sense of it all. Because when the world starts acting up, Something Ain’t Right is here to call it out.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

IT'S TIME TO STRIKE-STRIKE | The Final Word

This week on The Final Word, Frangela is breaking down the latest chapter in the Trumpian fever dream, and honey, it’s giving full dystopia with a side of delusion.First up, the Texas House passed a redistricting bill so gerrymandered it might as well come with a MAGA loyalty oath. And just to make sure democracy stays gagged and bound, the House Speaker ordered 24-hour surveillance on Democrats courtesy of the Department of Public Safety. Because nothing says “freedom” like armed government babysitters.Meanwhile, Trump has apparently decided he’s a war hero now—claiming he stopped six or seven wars, depending on which personality is talking that day. And if that wasn’t enough, he’s also floating the idea that he’s heaven-bound. We’re not theologians, but we’re pretty sure lying, cheating, and inciting insurrections don’t earn you a cloud and a harp.Then there’s Trump’s latest attack on Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, a highly respected Black woman economist, demanding her resignation after his housing henchman Bill Pulte accused her of mortgage fraud. No evidence, just vibes and racism.Let’s not forget that $355 million penalty Trump was ordered to pay for inflating property values like a busted balloon. But surprise—an Appeals Court voided it, because apparently penalties are for peasants, not self-declared kings.And just when you thought the circus couldn’t get any wilder, National Guard troops from Republican-led states are rolling into D.C. to enforce Trump’s fantasy takeover. Democracy is looking real shaky, y’all.Finally, Target’s CEO is stepping down, and we’ve got questions. Is it the backlash? The boycotts? Or just the realization that running a retail empire in racist clown world is exhausting?Frangela’s got the information and laughs you need to survive this week’s chaos. Buckle up—it’s The Final Word, and we’re not holding back.

Bathroom Bigotry, Bribes to Relocate, and the Rise of ‘F—Around and Find Out’ Parenting

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela is back with the receipts, the rage, and the righteous laughter—because the nonsense is coming in hot.First up: a Minnesota teen says a restaurant server demanded she prove her gender in the bathroom. We don’t know what kind of twisted gender TSA this fool thought they were running, but we do know this—something ain’t right when your waffle comes with a side of discrimination.Then we unpack the cities offering thousands of dollars to lure remote workers to relocate. Is it a sweet deal or just a desperate attempt to turn your Zoom calls into local tax revenue? Either way, we’re watching folks try to gentrify with coupons.Next, we say goodbye to “gentle parenting” and hello to the new wave of “F—Around and Find Out” child-rearing. Because sometimes, the only thing between your toddler and a full-blown meltdown is a well-timed look that says, “Try me.”And finally, an economist crunched the numbers, stopped dating men, and found herself living her best life. The math is mathing, and apparently, it’s saying “men are a bad investment.”So grab your emotional support beverage and buckle up—Frangela’s breaking it all down so we can all survive this week’s parade of absurdity. Because when the world goes off the rails, Something Ain’t Right is here to call it out.

Blame Canada, Burn the Constitution, and Brain Worms at the Wheel

This week on The Final Word, Frangela is serving up a piping hot plate of truth with a side of “what fresh hell is this?” as the Trumpocalypse rolls on. First up: those “Liberation Day” tariffs are hitting harder than a bad perm—Yale Budget Lab says we’re all about to cough up an extra $2,400 this year. Thanks, economic freedom!Meanwhile, Ambassador Pete Hoekstra dusts off his VHS of South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut and goes full “Blame Canada,” because apparently reality is just too spicy for the Trump administration. Over in census land, Trump wants to count people like he counts facts—selectively and incorrectly.Texas Democrats are on the run (literally), trying to stop a redistricting plan so racist it makes Jim Crow blush. The FBI’s now playing hide-and-seek with democracy. And in international “what now?” news, Netanyahu says Israel’s just gonna go ahead and occupy all of Gaza. Cool cool cool.Back home, Health Secretary RFK Jr. (aka Brain Worms) axes $500 million in mRNA vaccine funding, because science is scary and facts are rude. Oh, and the Library of Congress just casually deleted parts of the Constitution. No biggie—just the unlawful detention clause. Who needs rights anyway?But don’t worry, Gavin Newsom is here with the shade and the sass, dragging Trump like a pro. And finally, Laura Loomer and Marjorie Taylor Greene remind us why we can’t have nice things—by turning their MAGA meltdown into a street brawl.Grab your emotional support snacks, because Frangela’s got The Final Word on this week’s chaos carnival.ClipsU.S. ambassador says Canada is ‘pulling rug out’ from free trade agreement | Watch News Videos Online Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Guard Up, Eggs Down & Tarantula's on the Loose | Something Ain't Right

First up, we’re dialing into Trump’s latest obsession: the National Guard hotline. Why is the ex-president suddenly in love with camo-clad muscle, and what does it mean for D.C.? Spoiler: it’s more than just a flex.Next, we unpack his escalation of attacks on prominent Black Americans and the magical disappearing act of his free IVF promise—because ghosting a constitutional right is so 2025.Then, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth goes full backward-cam era by reposting a pastor’s “women shouldn’t vote” manifesto. We’ll have receipts, reactions, and the best takedown you’ll hear all week.Finally, in the daily war against the spider cabal, scientists have discovered tarantulas packing such extravagant genitalia that they’ve earned themselves a whole new genus.

Dog-Whistles, Dumb-Tariffs & Democracy Dumpster Fires

This week on The Final Word, we ask the question no one dared to utter aloud: Whatever happened to the charming racism? You know, the kind that wore a monocle and said “those people” with a genteel sneer instead of a bullhorn and a MAGA hat. Trump’s latest “naturally” racist musings have us wondering if subtlety is dead—or just deported.Meanwhile, the Epstein saga continues to unravel like a badly written soap opera, and the Trump administration is treating us like we all failed civics and common sense. VP Vance calls it “the Epstein situation,” which is like calling Chernobyl “a bit of a hiccup.”We also dive into the dumbest tariffs this side of a Monopoly board, Trump’s extortion cosplay, RFK Jr.’s apparent attempt to turn your immune system into a piñata, and the GOP’s plan to blow up satellites, solar programs, and—why not—democracy itself.It’s sassy, it’s savage, it’s smarter than it has any right to be. Buckle up, buttercup. The Final Word is bringing receipts, rage, and ridiculousness.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

A.I. Tickets, Tea Takedowns, and Loomer Looming | Something Ain't Right

Hold on tight, y’all—because this week on Something Ain’t Right, we’re flying straight into the storm of nonsense. First up: Is Delta letting A.I. set their airfares now? So basically, the robots are up-charging us for legroom and trauma. Fantastic. Then it’s a peek behind the political curtain, where Laura Loomer—yes, her again—is out here getting folks bounced from the Trump orbit. Didn’t we have the receipts that her fifteen minutes were up?Next, we sip the piping hot chaos over the Tea dating app. It’s for women’s safety, but somehow folks are more outraged by the app itself than the actual number of reported assaults it’s trying to address? That’s not just wrong—it’s aggressively backwards.And finally, we ask the eternal question: who is Sydney Sweeney—and is she trending for her jeans... or her genes? Either way, something ain’t right, and we’re digging deep—denim and DNA included. Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Assaults, Secrets, and Congressional Shenanigans

Buckle up folks—this episode of The Final Word is giving "plot twist" energy. We dive into the disturbing assault of Virginia City Councilman Lee Vogler (spoiler: not political, just plain awful), then take a stroll down Conspiracy Lane as Senate Democrats dust off an ancient lawbook trying to pry open Epstein’s mystery vault. Ghislaine Maxwell wants to testify before Congress... with a list of demands. Girl, you are not Beyoncé on tour. Meanwhile, the U.K. says it’ll officially recognize a Palestinian state unless Israel locks in a ceasefire and a peace plan. Shoutout to diplomatic ultimatums! And back in Texas—where maps apparently come with built-in bias—Republicans are pitching a new congressional layout that would hand them five extra seats. We also shine a harsh spotlight on ICE's treatment of detained women, with disturbing allegations of abuse and neglect that demand accountability. If you thought things couldn’t get more outrageous, think again.Plus, we’ve got your emails, your rants, and all the dizzying drama we can cram into one mic.

No Rights, No Visa, No Chill: The Wrongness Rundown

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we’re serving a full-course meal of messed-up madness—with a heavy pour of side-eye.First up, immigration agents tell a U.S. citizen teenager that he’s got “no rights.” Um, what year is it again?! Then we shift to the climate emergency you probably missed: the world’s first planned national migration is underway as Tuvalu inches toward being swallowed by the sea.Next, the Trump administration’s latest move? Making it easier to involuntarily commit people under the guise of mental health “care.” We read that twice and it still sounds terrifying. And just when you thought the week couldn’t get more petty, the Venezuelan Little League team gets their dreams crushed after the U.S. refuses their visas. Who denies kids baseball? Monsters, that’s who.'You’ve got no rights’: teenage US citizen records violent arrest by immigration officersDo you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Hunger, Power, and Political Theater

This week as famine deepens in Gaza, we trace the humanitarian catastrophe to its roots: decades of failed diplomacy, strategic blockades, and the silent complicity of global powers. We also look at Jacksonville, Florida, as outrage mounts over a viral video showing a Black man assaulted during a traffic stop.We also examine why sealed documents in the Kohberger case remain out of public reach, raising questions about transparency in high-profile trials. Meanwhile, the name “Epstein” re-emerges, and reportedly Attorney General Pam Bondi delivered the news to Donald Trump about his ties to those files back in May.Then, in a twist that defies political precedent, Trump and DNI Director Tulsi Gabbard accuse former President Obama of treason—sparking what they claim is an official investigation. And on Capitol Hill, the Kennedy Center finds itself at the center of a culture war, with House Republicans tying federal funding to a rebranding of its opera house in honor of Melania Trump.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Fees, Felons, and Shady Medicine | Something Ain't Right

Fees, Felons, and Shady MedicineThis week on Something Ain’t Right, we hand a big ol’ thank-you to listener Gordon A. for spotting the latest legislative sneak attack: a shiny new travel fee to enter the U.S., buried deep in the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” like it’s a footnote in fine print nobody reads. (Except Gordon. Gordon reads.)Next up, we give some serious stank-eye to the Los Angeles Innocence Project, who apparently thinks Scott Peterson deserves a do-over. Girl, what?And hold onto your medical history, because the New York Times is raising alarms about the organ transplant hustle putting donors in danger. We’re talking real lives, real risk, and a whole lotta "wait, what?"If it's sketchy, shady, or just plain wrong—we're dragging it into the spotlight.

Trump Said What Now? A Masterclass in Trump-Speak

First, Trump calls his own Epstein-file-demanding supporters “stupid,” which is a bit rich coming from the man who once claimed windmills cause cancer. Then, the former president teases firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell like he's choosing toppings at a froyo bar—“Maybe I will, maybe I won’t... extra sprinkles?”Meanwhile, is the Justice Department playing election "games," asking nine states for their voter rolls?Meanwhile Trump plays cartographer-in-chief, nudging Texas to redraw its congressional map like it's a sketchpad at Mar-a-Lago. And in a financial finale, Wall Street semi-quivers as Trump enters the chat with all the subtlety of a bull in a China shop—except this bull occasionally insists he’s also a genius.It’s unhinged, it's exhausting, it's America.

Superman, Stonewall, and Shooting the Messenger—Oh, We’re Definitely Not Alright

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we’re serving the side-eye with a splash of righteous rage—and the nonsense is boiling over.First, we tackle the lingering mystery around the Trump shooting. Was it political? Personal? Just plain bizarre? You tell us if we’ve lost our minds or if reality has taken a long walk off a short pier.Then—drumroll, please—this band just admitted they’re AI. Yep, your favorite synth-pop group might literally be synth. So if you’ve ever wondered whether your playlists are gaslighting you, now’s your answer.Meanwhile in California, a federal judge ruled the LAPD cannot shoot journalists with “less-lethal” weapons during protests. Because nothing says “freedom of the press” like getting bean bagged for reporting the news.And if you thought Superman just stood for truth, justice, and great cheekbones, guess again—the new movie’s inspiration has the bigots in full meltdown mode. We say let them cry faster than a speeding bullet.Finally, the National Park Service quietly erased “transgendered” and “bisexual” from the Stonewall Monument website. Oh, we noticed—and yes, we’re loudly calling B.S.Tune in for all that and more as we cut through the chaos, drag the dumb, and remind you: when it feels wrong, it probably is.

Floods, Files, and Foolishness: Trump’s Greatest Hits (This Week)

We start with the heartbreak and devastation of the Texas floods—because when climate meets crisis and leadership fails to show up, you get communities underwater while officials are stuck on hold. And speaking of delays, we’ve got a closer look at FEMA’s molasses-in-January response, reportedly gummed up by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, whose qualifications seem limited to photo ops and bad decisions.Then it’s time to play another round of “What Did Trump Say Now?” First, he’s threatening 50% tariffs on Brazil over what he calls the Bolsonaro ‘witch hunt’ trial—because nothing screams diplomacy like defending authoritarian bros. Next, we get copper tariffs (because sure, why not), and he manages to publicly praise the Liberian president’s “good English.” We would explain why that’s offensive, but y’all already know.And in the Department of Deep State Drama, the FBI is now investigating former CIA Director John Brennan and FBI Director James Comey—because apparently, if you ever made Trump feel small in a press conference, you’re on the hit list.He also threatened to take control of New York City and Washington, D.C., like he’s auditioning to be Gotham’s worst villain. And finally, Attorney General Pam Bondi has done a full magic trick: she now claims the Epstein files she promised to release... never existed. Girl, where’d they go? We break it all down with fire, fury, and the kind of laughs you need to stay sane in this mess.

Liberty for Whom? Side-Eyeing I.C.E. and America's Selective Freedom | Something Ain’t Right

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we are handing out the longest, hardest, most furious side-eye to I.C.E., because what they're doing is not liberty, it's lunacy.Did you know that eight of the so-called “Founding Fathers” were immigrants? And the rest were just a generation or two removed from the boat? So how is it, on a day that’s supposed to celebrate freedom from repression, I.C.E. is out here conducting nationwide raids like it's some kind of dystopian scavenger hunt?We take a closer look at the inhumane treatment exposed by one woman’s account of being handcuffed for 16 hours on a bus without food or water. That’s not enforcement—that's torture with paperwork.We unpack how I.C.E. has been granted powers that feel unconstitutional on a good day, and terrifying on every other. But we’re not stopping at outrage—we’re talking about friction. How to slow it down, jam it up, and make sure we’re showing up for our neighbors.So if you think freedom should be for everyone, not just the people certain politicians approve of—this episode is for you. Tune in. Get fired up. Let’s make some noise.Go to https://www.stopice.net/ to help alert people to ICE actions or text "JOIN" to (877)322-2299 & then text "REPORT" to warn people.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

The Final Word | THEY DO NOT CARE: THE GOP = TRUMP'S MONARCHY

This week on The Final Word, Frances and Angela—aka Frangela—First up, Trump’s so-called "Big, Beautiful Bill"—a budget plan so lopsided it should come with a warning label: May cause nausea, especially for the poor and working class. Hate? Funded. Housing, healthcare, and hope? Not so much. But don’t worry, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is out here doing overtime trying to delay the mess long enough for someone to read it… maybe.Meanwhile, justice showed up with receipts: a federal judge blocked Trump's move to shut down asylum claims at the southern border. Take that, cruelty-as-policy. And in Wisconsin, the state Supreme Court finally did what 175 years of bad law couldn’t—strike down that archaic abortion ban. Somebody get the champagne and the petitions.Then we break down the strange bedfellows drama that is Trump vs. Elon, which feels less like politics and more like a sleepover fight about who gets the top bunk. Threats of primaries, deportation, and bad vibes are flying—and it’s extremely unserious.Oh, and Paramount just dropped $16 million to settle Trump’s lawsuit, proving that even Hollywood knows it’s cheaper to pay up than to hang out with MAGA.And finally, while floods, fires, and disasters rage, folks across the country are asking, “Where is FEMA?” But apparently, FEMA ghosted—and the Trump administration’s not returning calls either.All that, plus your emails, on The Final Word. It’s hot, it’s hilarious, and it’s exactly what you need to make sense of the mess.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Threats, Executions, and a Supreme Mess—Y’all, Something Really Ain’t Right

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we’re not just raising eyebrows—we’re raising hell.First up, “King” Trump, in his latest episode of Presidential Pouting, says New York City will “not get any money” if Zohran Mamdani wins the Democratic primary for mayor. Oh, we’re doing hostage negotiations over election results now? Sir, this is a democracy, not The Real Housewives of MAGA-Lago.Then, down in Texas, where logic goes to sweat and die, the Attorney General is pushing to execute Robert Roberson before his appeal can be heard. That’s right—Texas is basically saying, “Due process is cute and all, but let’s just get this over with.”Meanwhile, the Supreme Court’s conservative/monarchist majority (because robes apparently come with crowns now) decided to weaken the ability of federal courts to block harmful executive policies. So basically, they just threw a wrench into the last emergency brake we had left.And finally, we talk about the grim assault on Trans healthcare, as the Trump administration continues its crusade to strip Trans Americans of access, dignity, and basic civil rights. Because apparently cruelty is not just the point—it’s the policy.It’s ugly out there, y’all. But if you’re looking for righteous rage, sharp laughs, and a whole lot of truth-telling, Something Ain’t Right is here to break it down and hold the line.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Murderland, Conservative DEI, and the Sin of Empathy—Uncomfortable Truths Edition | Something Ain't Right

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we dive headfirst into the deeply uncomfortable—because sometimes, feeling uneasy is just part of knowing something is seriously wrong.First up, Pulitzer Prize winner Caroline Fraser’s new book, Murderland takes us on a chilling journey through the serial killer hotspot that is the Pacific Northwest—specifically Tacoma, Washington. Why do so many infamous murderers seem to have operated there? And more importantly, why are we just now asking this question?Then, we explore the newest form of DEI thriving on college campuses—apparently, conservative professors are now a minority group. That’s right, the same folks who spent years railing against diversity initiatives are now demanding their own. Irony is alive and well.Meanwhile, in the latest theological twist, empathy is now a sin. The idea that compassion is a tool of Satan has moved from the far-right fringes into mainstream conservative media, thanks to its most enthusiastic believers: Elon Musk and J.D. Vance. Because apparently, caring about people is now a gateway to moral corruption.And finally, we tackle the awkward but necessary conversation: how to talk to someone dealing with depression. Saying the right thing can feel impossible, but avoiding the wrong thing? That’s a skill worth learning. We break down real strategies for showing up and supporting—because sometimes, discomfort is just part of being human.Life is full of uneasy moments, but knowing the difference between what feels bad and what is actually wrong? That’s what we’re here for. Tune in to Something Ain’t Right—we’ll help you sort it out.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Uno Madness, The War on Porn, and Trump’s ‘Remigration’—Chaos Is in Session

Uno Madness, The War on Porn, and Trump’s ‘Remigration’—Chaos Is in SessionThis week on Something Ain’t Right, we dive into the absurdity gripping the nation, starting with the unexpected controversy of the moment: Uno. Yes, the classic card game, beloved for generations, is apparently tearing adults apart over unclear rules, rogue house variations, and the devastating social implications of the Reverse card. This is why we can’t have nice things.Then, we tackle the War on Porn, where the Supreme Court and multiple states are flirting with bans on anything deemed “inappropriate or harmful to children.” What does that mean for First Amendment rights? Nobody really knows, but something definitely ain’t right.Speaking of hypocrisy, Trump’s administration has been handing out drug kingpin pardons like Oprah giving away cars—even as they ramp up anti-drug rhetoric. Turns out, justice is just another transactional policy in Trump’s America.And finally, we break down the latest far-right craze: "remigration"—a euphemism for mass immigrant removal, conveniently excluding one particular immigrant: Trump’s wife. Because consistency is overrated.If it sounds wrong, feels wrong, or makes you question reality, it belongs on Something Ain’t Right. Tune in—we’ll unpack the nonsense so you don’t have to. "Wild card – When you play this card, you get to choose the color that continues play (any color including the color in play before the Wild card was laid down). You may play a Wild card on your turn even if you have another playable card in your hand. If a Wild card is turned up at the beginning of play, the person to the left of the dealer chooses the color that continues play" ––https://service.mattel.com/instruction_sheets/GDJ85-Eng.pdf Cameo.com/frangeladuo. https://sexyliberal.com/ Looking for Idiot of the Week ?https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/frangela-idiot-of-the-week/id1742512316 Our Sponsors: * Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code FRANGELA for a great deal: https://happymammoth.com * Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.rosettastone.com/today Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

A Buffet of Bad Decisions

Alright y’all, let’s set the record straight—because this week, the nonsense levels are off the charts.First up, the deployment of 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles isn’t about law and order—it’s theater. That’s right, we’re talking big-budget political cosplay, complete with dramatic speeches, unnecessary uniforms, and absolutely zero solutions.Then, we dive into our toxic relationship with Governor Gavin Newsom. How can one man be so wrong and so right at the same time?!? Meanwhile, more than 340 National Institutes of Health employees and former staffers are accusing the Trump administration of dismantling the agency’s core research work—because apparently, science is just another thing they don’t believe in.And in the latest episode of "How Many Bad Decisions Can One Administration Make?", Health Secretary RFK Jr. has fired all 17 members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel. Because when faced with expertise, this administration’s first instinct is to get rid of it.Finally, how wrong does someone have to be when even the White House won’t let Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth hire them? That’s right—when this administration thinks you’re too reckless, you might need to re-evaluate your life choices.Tune in for all the facts, frustration, and well-earned side-eye—because this mess isn’t going to unpack itself.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??
