SCAM LIKELY
Colokum Craft Coffee USE THE PROMO CODE "WSMG15" FOR 15% OFF YOUR COFFEE PURCHASE Boomer Bunker Dischord Become a Bunker Dweller 24 SCAM LIKELY NATIONAL DAY: National Just Because Day — A day to do something kind or fun for no particular reason. BIRTHDAY: Aaron Paul (born 1979) — Actor best known for Breaking Bad. THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 2003 — Mars made its closest approach to Earth in nearly 60,000 years. ----- SCAM LIKELY (FTC / Consumer Protection) Your phone used to ring because somebody had your number. Now a scammer can arrive with your number, your relatives, your habits — and maybe a cloned voice that sounds like somebody you love. • AI voice cloning can turn short public audio clips into convincing impersonations. • Caller-ID spoofing and cheap internet calling make mass scam attempts easy to launch and hard to trace. • FTC: consumers reported $3.5 billion lost to imposter scams in 2025. ------ THE NEW PHONE BOOK’S HERE! (FTC / Data Brokers) The old phone book gave strangers a name, address and number. The modern version can assemble far more — public records, online activity, relatives, location information and commercially collected data. • People-search sites are data brokers: they compile information from public records, public profiles and other brokers, then sell or share reports. • The FTC has pursued cases involving sensitive location data and has warned brokers about restrictions on transferring sensitive American data to foreign adversaries. • The punchline: an industry profits from collecting the data, while another industry sells us blocking, monitoring, removal and identity-protection services. ----- THE CLOUD HAS A POWER BILL (U.S. Department of Energy) The scammer is not sitting inside a data center — but the digital economy that makes massive-scale data collection, AI, automation and cloud computing possible lives on physical infrastructure. • AI growth is one driver of rapidly rising data-center electricity demand. • DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory scenarios estimate data centers could account for roughly 9.5%–15.3% of U.S. electricity use by 2030. • The Road Rage question: we eliminated the phone book, automated the middleman, monetized the information — and now we need enormous buildings and enormous amounts of electricity to keep the digital machine running. ----- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@wsmgmedia.com

The NFL said it is reviewing the matter under its personal conduct policy. ----- SECOND STORY — 911 ON TRIAL (Fox News) Fox News reports that the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn, a Smithsonian affiliate, uses its 9/11 exhibit and anniversary programming to emphasize discrimination and government actions affecting Arab and Muslim communities after the attacks. The museum has received federal grant funding. The report contrasts that emphasis with the 2,977 people killed on September 11, 2001 and notes continuing political scrutiny over how federally connected museums present American history. ----- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@wsmgmedia.com

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 1835 — The “Great Moon Hoax” began when The New York Sun published fabricated stories of life on the Moon. ----- JURY DOOBIE (Not the Bee) A Pennsylvania murder trial went up in smoke after a court officer smelled marijuana in the jury room. Each juror was questioned privately, but all denied smoking or ingesting anything that could affect judgment. The defense requested a mistrial, the judge granted it, and the case will have to be tried again. ROAD RAGE angle: twelve people, one unmistakable smell, and apparently nobody knows how it got there. ----- I TOLD YOU; YOU’LL GO BLIND… (Fox News) New research is raising concern about long-term tadalafil use and glaucoma risk. Tadalafil, best known as Cialis, is a PDE5 inhibitor used for erectile dysfunction and also for urinary symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate. A large observational study found an association with increased glaucoma and ocular-hypertension risk; researchers stress that the findings do not prove the drug causes glaucoma and do not recommend patients simply stop taking it. ROAD RAGE angle: the old warning about going blind finally gets a pharmaceutical plot twist. ----- LANDFILL LANDSLIDE (Fox News) At least 30 people were reported killed after a massive open-air landfill collapsed onto nearby homes in Conakry, Guinea. Heavy rain contributed to dangerous conditions as rescuers searched through debris for survivors. ROAD RAGE angle: keep the treatment respectful—the headline lends itself to wordplay, but the underlying event is a genuine mass-casualty tragedy. ----- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@wsmgmedia.com

Treasury data put total public debt outstanding at roughly $40.047 trillion, including about $32.266 trillion held by the public and $7.782 trillion in intragovernmental holdings. The milestone arrived amid renewed concern over deficits, interest costs and Washington’s bipartisan appetite for borrowing. ----- FONDUE WHO? (Fox News) A trip back to the American dinner table of the 1960s, when convenience food collided with a growing appetite for international cuisine. Fondue became a party centerpiece, casseroles thrived on canned ingredients, Julia Child helped make foreign dishes less intimidating, and French onion dip became a household standby. ----- TAX ME HARDER! (Fox News) Parents at Middle Creek Elementary in Wake County, North Carolina, are asking for an alternative to a music class taught by a transgender teacher. Father Aaron Driver argued families should not have to pay into the public-school system and then pay again for private school or homeschooling when requesting an opt-out. The school-board fight also featured a commenter suggesting homeschooling, relocation or even expulsion of children whose parents she called “bigots.” ----- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@wsmgmedia.com

They bought the roughly 7.4-acre property for $14.65 million in 2020. The mansion is about 18,000 square feet with nine bedrooms and 17 bathrooms, and experts cited by the Post suggest a possible listing near $75 million, with a potential sale in the $55-$65 million range. ----- ONE STEP BEYOND (FOX NEWS) Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed says he would go beyond Bernie Sanders' proposal for public ownership of major AI companies, arguing for greater "public control" of the industry. He floated ideas including public representatives on corporate boards or a public oversight body, saying AI's risks justify stronger democratic control. The debate: regulation, public ownership, or government control? ----- WE HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT? (NOT THE BEE) The UK's Home Office has produced guidance for asylum seekers explaining British laws and expectations involving rape, sexual consent and child sexual abuse. The materials explain that sexual activity without consent is illegal and that sexual activity involving children remains illegal regardless of perceived age or practices elsewhere. The obvious Road Rage question: why does a government believe these rules need to be spelled out? ----- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@weatherdsoul.com

For Only a Penny

BIRTHDAY: Robert Plant (born 1948) — Lead singer of Led Zeppelin. THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 1920 — The American Professional Football Association (later the NFL) was formed. ----- FOR ONLY A PENNY (ABC10) Columbia House, the mail-order music and movie club that became a pop-culture fixture with penny-priced introductory deals, is finally shutting down after 71 years. Founded in 1955, the club rode vinyl, 8-tracks, cassettes, CDs and later DVDs, reaching about 16 million members at its mid-1990s peak. New media orders end September 15, 2026, closing a nostalgic chapter for generations who remember those tiny album stickers and too-good-to-be-true offers. ----- I'M TIRED (New York Post) California regulators unanimously approved new replacement-tire efficiency rules aimed at reducing rolling resistance and fuel or electricity use. Phase 1 begins in 2029 with a 9.1 N/kN maximum rolling-resistance standard; Phase 2 tightens it to 7.2 N/kN in 2033. The rules could eliminate a significant share of tires now sold in California, fueling concerns about price, choice, traction and cross-border tire shopping. ----- YOU'RE FLOCKING WRONG! (Reason) Flock Safety says more than 120,000 automated license-plate cameras operate across 49 states and process more than 20 billion vehicle reads each month. Reason highlights wrongful stops, bad matches, data sharing and officers abusing searches to track former partners. The controversy raises the central question: can a nationwide vehicle-tracking network be trusted with police access, or are stronger warrants, audits and limits—or fewer cameras—the answer? ----- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@weatherdsoul.com
