Been following her since her DJ days at WIOD in Miami. Then she had a great show on In West Palm for a couple years until Rush Limballs destroyed WJNO.

I need to find out how to get her show wherever it is.

I see she had breast reduction surgery, she used to always joke about Boobies. On fridays she played this "bounce your Boobies" song where the woman, whoever she was, would go interact with the audience in hilarious ways while doing her skit.

Bright, bright, funny, funny woman is Randi.

I don't know how she defines "occupation" but you can go back to Japan to find occupation. Or even Germany with the allied occupation. In more modern times--which she didn't mention you have Iraq and Afghanistan.

I can't stand Trump and he's wrong on nearly everything. But I do think the left gets into trouble when it tries to re-write history. Let the right do that garbage. When you go in and knock out a government you will either occupy or let anarchy reign until someone takes control. This is why going to war in the first place has to be considered very carefully and not recklessly. Even if you win--there are consequences afterward.

Let's not do what the Republicans do and pretend that American never screws up. As a human, if I never admit to mistakes how can I avoid them the next time? The country is no different. As I said, these are not always easy choices. Sometimes occupation may even be the best choice--if only for a time. But once you're in.....

Best bet: avoid unnecessary wars: Iraq. The horrible stuff arising from that awful decision will be here for a long long time.

They got that idea from FOX "News" which showed Daesh in the desert in little pickup trucks and then jump cut to little pickup trucks crossing the Mexican border as the phase "Obama's open border policy" droned through the excessively thick bone of their cranial vacuum.
