Arlington

I had my kids this weekend. So Sunday after lunch with their aunt, I decided to take the kids on the Metro and head to Arlington Cemetery. For those who live in DC, Arlington is the small, upper class, tony suburban area next to DC. For the rest of America Arlington is the cemetery of heroes.

We went in the screening entrance area. the first stop was the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. We were fortunate to watch the changing of the guard. I explained to my kids that the tomb is guarded 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and those soldiers go through a selection process like no other.

The next stop was the grave of Major Audie Murphy. Murphy is the most decorated solider in US history. Murphy attempted to enlist in the Marines and was denied because of his height. The Army took him instead. And he kicked ass!

As you can see, some people still leave coins for Murphy as a sign of respect. I told my kids about the history of Murphy. Education and media are too busy praising people like George Floyd, Kim Kardashian and Bruce Jenner. I worked with one former soldier who was younger than myself had no idea who Murphy or Alvin York was!

Our final stop on our short visit was to the grave of President Kennedy.

I wanted to visit the Kennedy grave as I have a lot of respect for Kennedy. If Kennedy was alive today he would be to the right of Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan.

Our visit was way too short and I will bring my kids back once again to visit the final resting place of American heroes. Kudos to all the tourists who showed dignity and respect for the fallen.

A “75 Radio” Wedding!?

scoopstanton

Who had THIS on their 2025 Bingo Card!?

The talent, staff and listeners from “75 Radio” as well as personalities from other shows on Liberty News Radio call ourselves “family” for the love we have for one another and the tight bonds we formed over the years. Now we are pleased (and shocked) to announce that “75 Radio” will actually become a family!

Scoop Stanton asked “75 Radio” Spokesmodel Danila Rodrigues for her hand in marriage! And she said yes (poor woman)! The happy event will take place exactly one year from today: April 1, 2026 at the Yhanundasis Town Hall in Yhanundasis, NY. The reception will be at the Roadkill Grill on Route 10 in Downtown Yhanundasis which boasts the best Puerto Rican and Greek food in Wanker County, NY. The happy couple will spend their honeymoon at the ¼ acre Stanton Compound with Scoop’s parents, bothers, sisters, nieces, nephews and 6 dogs! Mr. and Mrs. Stanton will enjoy the start of “Mud Season” where the snow melts and everything turns to mud.

“I am literally marrying the woman of my dreams! I am the happiest man in the world!” Said an excited Scoop. The future Mrs. Stanton was equally excited! “I’m going to be Mrs. Scoop Stanton!? Lucky me. Well that tax credit is really going to help me out . And he never wears his seatbelt and his family has a history of poor health, and he has a big life insurance policy.  It won’t be THAT bad.”

The lovely bride is a graduate of the University of Michigan and has completed a course in anatomy at Harvard Medical School. Besides being the World’s First Radio Spokesmodel, Danila is a nurse by trade, owns DR Wellness and Aesthetics and is also a successful model who appeared in New York’s Fashion Week numerous times.

The groom is a graduate with honors from a General Equivalency Diploma (GED) program and has attended Kee Business College. Scoop is a salesman for the Yellow Pages, a Collections Agent for D&G Collections LLC, and is a part time clerk at Fred’s Adult Emporium.

The couple has registered at Sak’s Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus as well as the Dollar Tree.

Anthony Cumia back on radio!

scoopstanton

Radio legend Antony Cumia is preparing to make his return to terrestrial radio Sunday, March 9 on the biggest AM talk station, 77 WABC. Cumia has made a name for himself as a “shock jock” since the 1990’s with Gregg “Opie” Hughes and Jim Norton, broadcasting on WAAF in Boston and the legendary 102.7 WNEW in New York. Cumia and company had low brow humour and bits, many of which were sexual in nature. As years went on, Cumia was more vocal on his views on politics and race. In 2014, he was fired for tweeting his anger among a certain group of people and their behavior after he was attacked in the middle of the night in Times Square.

Since that incident in Times Square, Cumia has been even more open, honest and vocal on racial issues. In 2024 he appeared at the American Renaissance convention which has been (falsely) accused of being a white supremacist, white nationalist gathering. He laid out what is wrong with the radio industry.

Radio is going through some tough times. Podcasting is absolutely destroying the industry. Then; the corporations who own the stations will only syndicate their talent under contract. And the days of the “shock jock” has gone the way of the teletype from WINS. Add to the fact competition from everywhere and car companies are not installing radios with the AM dial!

Over the years, radio stations have been bought ought by conglomerates: CBS, Clearchannel (I heart radio) Cumulus, and a handful of others. The Station Managers, and Program Directors cant do what they want anymore. Andy Travis today would have to listen to the people who own WKRP to the letter. The talent could only stay between the lines of what they can talk about. One talent in DC I spoke to said he was never told what he could or could not say. It may be true, but he stays within his lane. Nothing about race issues, nothing sexual, nothing that will get someone fired. Years ago when a personality got fired, their colleagues would rally around them. Today; dead silence. This is for two reasons: first; the other personalities are too afraid to stick their necks out so they won’t get canned. The second reason is because they are trying to get that gig!

As for us, we have talked about g-strings, men using tampons, picking up women in nursing homes and accusing a politician of sexually abusing horses! And this was only in August!

Is Anthony Cumia the answer to saving talk radio? Probably not. But he is the shot in the arm that us in the industry desperately needs!

Message to NYS Correction Officers!

scoopstanton

By Scoop Stanton

I used to work for the New York State Department of Correctional Services as a Correction Officer. I worked at the infamous Sing Sing prison as well as Bedford Hills.  A maximum-security prison for women. To be honest, it was easier to deal with the most savage men that New York State locked up. It was a dangerous, disgusting, thankless job. I’ve seen more anal cavities than a proctologist. I’ve had to watch grown men go to the bathroom. I was also involved in a riot in B Block in Sing Sing one Sunday afternoon in April, 1996. The front gate had to call the off going shift to get back in and help us! Months later a brand new captain arrived at Sing Sing. He was in a passageway when inmates from A Block was returning from the yard to the housing unit. He was slashed. I know what you brave men and women go through. That’s why at the end of the show James Edwards says: “For those who work the streets and the jails, thanks for keeping us safe.” That’s my tribute to you. I’ve been there.

Fights, stabbings, getting “shit down,” contraband flowing faster than Amazon, the grievances against the CO’s and constant threats and insults against CO’s. Add to the fact that these people work nights, weekends, and holidays, missing their kids growing up and most end up divorced, its amazing that these people return to work. But they do.

Well they did. Members of the New York State Correction Officer Benevolent Association have went on strike. The CO’s went on strike because of  unsafe working conditions and staff shortages. Nobody wants to take the job thanks to the war on cops, and those who do take the job, leave. You now have CO’s working literally 24 hours sometime because there’s no relief. Add to the fact the jails are much more dangerous because District Attorneys won’t convict inmates who assault officers. You can also thank Governor Kathy Hochul for running the jails into the ground. When I was a “turnkey” fortunately the Governor was George Pataki. The jails are currently secured by the New York National Guard.

Here’s my message to my former brothers and sisters on the thin gray line: get back to work! This is not “Robocop.” You swore an oath as Peace Officers to ensure the care, custody and control of these inmates. In those jails, not only are those crooks but the civilians that work in the jails. And yes, I know those civilians are the same ones that will drop dimes on you for anything and always take the side of the crook and hate you, but they are also under your protection. Forget the counselors, teachers, kitchen staff, medical people that make your jobs even harder. Think about the members of the New York State National Guard. They have been called up to walk the blocks! They are untrained and uninformed. Send these people home. Get back to work.

Army Veteran killes 15!

scoopstanton

We heard about “Homegrown Terrorists” like Timothy McVeigh, the Michigan Militia whose ranks included FBI informants and the Infamous Capitol Hill visitors on January 6th. But here we have Shamsud-Din Jabbar. This PoS was born in the US and like McVeigh he too was a soldier in the US Army.

This PoS also swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies both foreign and domestic. This is a similar oath that Mike Rakebrandt and I swore when we enlisted in the US Navy. WE still live by this oath. Oaths never have expiration dates!

According to media reports this PoS was a real loser. Marriage trouble, money troubles, legal troubles. These issues are requirements to be a co-host on “75 Radio.” So this piece of shit takes his frustration on innocent people! Normal people fix themselves!

And the media is calling this enemy of America an Army veteran. Whenever bad news happens concerning someone part of a noble profession, that entire profession is dragged through the mud! GI’s, cops, firefighters, doctors all front page news. Collection agents, telemarketers and lawyers are left alone. They never call this man a radical Muslim. The Army had nothing to do with this!

But; as usual, the feds dropped the ball on this one. They were too busy going after the visitors at the Capitol Building on January 6th, Catholics who want to hear the mass in Latin, concerned parents at school board meetings and people who post on social media! I guess DoJ forgot about September 11, Lower Manhattan, Waukesha, Wisconsin, Fort Hood, and other mass casualty locations! Do better DoJ!

Meanwhile Conservative Inc is commenting on FBI Special Agent Alethea Duncan’s nose ring! The FBI had another massive failure and these so-called “colleagues” have to fill space talking about nose rings and DEI. We lost 15 innocent people because of the failure of the FBI! I don’t care if she looks like Pinhead from the Hellbound movies. Let’s get back to the job of protecting the American people!
