Liberty-minded people called “Talkback” on WKBK last week to discuss Molly Kelly’s seemingly broken promise, the nature of the state, inflation, voting, KPD breaking and stealing Sam’s camera. Listen as Cynthia and Kendall Lane excuse the police acting like thugs. It’s sad.
Please join us for our weekly chat and calling sessions on Saturday mornings from 11a-12p in the Liberty Radio Network Chat room.

The Talkback discussion thread is here on the Free Keene Forum.
