Frangela: The Final Word

This week on The Final Word, the clown car of chaos is back on the road. A watchdog report says Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth risked endangering troops by sharing sensitive war plans on Signal—because apparently WhatsApp wasn’t insecure enough. Then he defended a deadly strike on a drug boat by calling it “the fog of war” while simultaneously tossing Admiral Frank Bradley under the bus. Meanwhile, Trump pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was serving 45 years for moving 400 tons of cocaine—because nothing says “law and order” like freeing your favorite drug lord. Trump also called Somali im...

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela is bringing the heat and asking the questions nobody else will. Like—what happens when college students can’t do math anymore? Spoiler: it ain’t cute. And whatever happened to neighborly neighbors? Because one hulking home addition has folks feuding like it’s Hatfields vs. McCoys, and the city officials are just as stumped. Meanwhile, the EPA decided to approve new “forever chemical” pesticides for food—because apparently poisoning us forever is now policy. And if that wasn’t enough, a new study shows 86% of toys sold online by non‑European retailers ar...

Happy Thanksgiving!

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 ge...

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...

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

This 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:

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 inflatio...

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.

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 fingerprin...

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...

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 “...

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, t...

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 c...

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 Col...

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 scissor...

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 decide...

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 af...

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...

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...

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...

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 criticall...

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’...

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...

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 tantru...

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 m...

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 w...

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...

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.

Meanwhil...

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 stal...

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...

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, clinic...

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...

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...

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 lik...

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 he...

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 calli...

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 safet...

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 ultimat...

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 st...

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...
