Cynthia Sommer Part 1

This past week on This Is America, with Jon Elliott, Jon had a guest named Cynthia Sommer on his show. Cynthia had a remarkable story to tell. She had been previously incarcerated after being found guilty of murdering her husband, former marine, Sgt. Todd Sommer. She would serve 869 days in jail.

Upon hearing this story on television, attorney Allen Bloom sought to help Cynthia prove her innocence. He publicly stated that he felt the case was mishandled, even appearing on this show to do so. He fought the conviction and eventually won and thus, Cynthia Sommer, widow and mother of four, was sprung from jail.

Listen as this unbelievable story unfolds with this multi-part segment on This Is America, with Jon Elliott.

Our Ever Generous President

First there was the overly generous reaction of the bush white house where he offered Myanmar a lofty $250,000 for aid after that cyclone killed over 100,000 people….when the outrage rained down upon him he upped it to – a cool $3 million. Ooooohhhh. So, just to let you know that they are serial stooges in the Bush administration…after the 7.9 earthquake hit China and caused extraordinary damage, death and destruction…just in case you thought they learned their lesson on Myanmar. Well, they didn't. Guess how much they offered in aid to china to help the victims of the huge earthquake. $500,000. Whoa! Big time! A cool half a mil!! They spend $12 billion a month in their godforsaken disaster in the desert and they turn around and offer the Chinese 20 minutes of money. They're disgraceful, and in offering such an insulting and paltry amount, they insult all Americans.
