Trump, Terrorism, and Tossing Bags

June 6, 2025

Maggie dives into the puzzling state of U.S. foreign policy, asking if Trump got played—again—as Israel cozies up to Russia. Then, eyebrows (literally) are raised as the Department of Homeland Security appoints 22-year-old Thomas Fugate—former grocery store clerk—to lead terrorism prevention. What qualifications does he bring beyond an ominous official photo? Plus, Gray Gunderson and Joel Karnick from WCQM drop in for “What’s Good, Local, and Overlooked.” Today’s topic? Cornhole (or bags, depending on your region). Joel gives the inside scoop on his semi-professional cornhole career, proving once again that Wisconsin fun is best served with friendly competition and a cold adult beverage.
