Episode 879: Real and political hurricanes
It seems like every time a hurricane comes along, everyone goes crazy, it’s almost like this is the first one ever. Real hurricanes have been happening since the begging of recorded history. Yet folks who live in the hurricane prone areas of the country are never prepared for them. We some times get powerful remnants of hurricanes in the Central Susquehanna Valley here in PA. And even here folks freak out and make a run on the stores for all sorts of supplies they should already have.
Political hurricanes are no different. Folks go crazy over their favorite pet peeve or governmnet program when they are threatened with change or abolishment. If Americans just studied their Constitutions a little harder, they would know that most of what government today does is unconstitutional. However because of the willful ignorance of the American people all sorts of nonsense gets voted in as law that violates folks freedoms and liberties, that when right thinking folks speak out about the constitutionality of a law or policy, people go crazy for no good reason.
Nature does a good enough job of creating hurricanes without us adding to them. If we would just follow the Constitution and contain the federal government, the only hurricanes we would have to deal with are natural ones!!!

Episode 878 Indivisible Guide groups uses class warfare to lie to America!!!
Indivisible Guide groups are supposedly grass roots organizations that came into existence because Donald Trump became president, and they wanted to resist his agenda. Most of what they want to resist is based on lies and false narratives they make up.
One of the tactics they use is class warfare. They want to pit the rich against the poor with error filled narratives. They use cherry picked facts to educate (more like indoctrinate) their followers, who don’t take the time to fact check them, how sad.
One thing for sure, Americans need to wake up to the threat of these groups who say they have America’s best interest at heart, but are just motivated by covetousness and envy. What a shallow life they live, hiding from facts and truth that could set them free!!!

Episode 877 Robert B. Riech gets all of his points wrong on Trumps tax plan
It is hard in my opinion when you are trying to give a rebuttal to any issue, to get all your points wrong. The only way you can get all of your points wrong, is because you are engaging in propaganda. The anti-freedom crowd in America has this tactic down to a science. The problem with propaganda is, it takes longer to refute it, than is does to put it out in the marketplace of ideas!!!
Robert B. Riech and Indivisible Guide have been doing just that. Ever since the 2016 presidential elections and Donald Trump’s win, the anti-freedom groups in America have been waging a full blown propaganda campaign. Mr Riech by most reputable economist standards would get an ‘F’ in most Econ 101 classes. So for him to comment on president Trump’s tax plan can only be one thing, propaganda!
It doesn’t take much research and reading to counter all of Mr Riech’s point against president Trump’s tax plan. I used fee.orgfor my research and about 5-6 hours of reading to find the truth about cutting taxes and economic growth. I used the Bible and a life time of reading and study to know that what Robert B. Riech is pushing, is covetousness and envy which leads to class warfare!!!

Episode 876 Coveting and envy leads to socialism!!!
When you take a deep look at socialism/communism, the root of these two systems are coveting and envy. People are told by politicians that folks have more then they do and that’s not fair, let me help you fix it. That’s when the downward spiral of a nation begins!
Most of what is wrong in the world is a heart problem, a spiritual heart problem. Instead of looking to their own life and how to live it, to many people try to live others lives. In trying to live someone else’s life, you not only destroy their freedom and liberty, you also destroy your own and most of the time you don’t even know it!
In America we all have equality in opportunity, but not a guaranteed outcome. It’s this unequal outcomes that some people rail against and try to fix. The problem in fixing the outcomes of some folks, is you have to destroy the outcomes of others folks. Making sure everyone is equal under the law is the only way we can guard the outcomes of everyone in America!!!

Episode 875 Putting Americans in harms way
Do average American citizens have the right to put other American citizens in harms way? Time and time again we see natural disasters hit the United States, and time and time again folks stay in harms way when they could’ve easily gotten out of the way!!!
I love the heart of the American people, because deep down for the most part they want to help others in need. And that sometimes puts them in harms way. I glad I live in a country where we are free to help others, and we do. These folks sometimes risk life and limb to help folks in natural disasters, and they deserve our praise!!! And after the disaster is over those same American want to help those folks affected to rebuild, awesome!!!
My question is to those in these natural disasters like hurricanes, and flooding events, is it right for you to put others in harms way to rescue you? There are a few rare cases where someone just can’t leave an area and I understand that. But if you have the ability to leave and don’t, do you ever think about those who would risk their lives to rescue you? And maybe just maybe if you did leave, those rescuers might have more time for those who really needs their help. Just questioning!!!

Episode 874 Government regulations make natural disasters worse!!!
Ever wonder why when a natural disaster hit America, the outcome is so much worse than folks expect? From hurricanes, to floods, to tornadoes, to wild fires, these natural disasters usually cause more destruction than they should. There are two words that explain it all “government regulations”.
With hurricanes and tornadoes most government regulations are feel good do nothing regulations, that don’t save lives or property. Building codes are usually way behind the times and bureaucracies can’t keep up with new innovations. Why because bureaucracies don’t have any incentive to do so. Insurance companies on the other hand who pay out massive claims have an incentive to keep up with cutting edge tech. Nothing is 100% guaranteed to stop the damage, but new tech can defiantly minimize the amount!!!
Damage from flooding is an altogether avoidable thing. Again government regulations the subsidize flood insurance and allow folks to make bad choices is a bad thing. How fool hardy is it to keep rebuilding homes and businesses in the same place they were when a flood destroyed them? Or even better, towns or cities flood control causes harm up or down stream to towns and cities who don’t have flood control, and wouldn’t need it in the first place if not for flood control up or down stream!!!

Episode 873 Anti-Freedom not Anti-Fascist!!!
The American anti-fascist movement in America is not what it seems. First thing you need to have in order to be anti-fascist are fascist to be anti against. Some estimates of the white, Neo-Nazi, KKK movement in America are around 10,000 or less (mostly less). So if that the case who and what are Antifa fighting?
Some folks who support big government are still made that the Democrats didn’t take the White house in the 2016 presidential elections. So they have thrown every accusation they could lay their hands to at president Trump. Nothing has caught any traction with reasonable thinking Americans, and the Antifa attacks are just the latest. Most of the arguments the anti-freedom folks level at freedom loving Americans have a so called moral component to them. But the morality of the anti-freedom crowd is a fake and phony morality that is geared towards winning hearts and minds. It’d not working!!!
Antifa is for big collectivist government, which suppress freedom and liberty of those it opposes!!! To call their movement noble because they are fighting a non-existent enemy, with force mind you, flies in the face of those who fought for freedom throughout America’s history!!!

Episode 872:
I’m a Christian, and anyone who knows me knows this. There are certain ideas as a Christian that I hold as truths in my life, and one of them is, Jesus Christ died on the cross for all of humanity!!! Jesus loved us that much, that he gave his life for us, no matter how we classify ourselves.
Your skin color doesn’t matter to Jesus, nor any other factor we many come up with to describe ourselves. That fact that some folks think otherwise, is a heart issue, not a skin issue!!! To divide folks up because they have a different skin color than other folks is sinful and has no place in civilized society!!!
God created all of mankind equal, and if you don’t believe this you are calling God a liar!!! God sees our hearts, souls and minds, and not what we look like on the outside!!! We as Americans need to teach each other these basic truths, if we don’t then we don’t deserve to survive as a nation!!! If we don’t condemn hatred everywhere we will never be whole as a nation, and we will not survive!!!

Episode 870
On of the most fundamental freedoms we have in America, is free speech!!! Our great republic was founded on the idea that men and women have the freedom to speak their minds!!! All of our other God given rights hing on our ability to engage in civil public discourse!!!
There is a movement today that started back in the early 1900’s to use the law to quell political speech. And in using the laws to limit free speech , those folks created the idea that if you allow someone to speak their mind, then you must also agree with that person. If that were the case, no one would know what they stood for in the first place!!! I support everyone’s freedom of speech, even when I would spend the rest of my life opposing what was said!!!
The anti-freedom groups are using labels to try to silence those they don’t agree with. Hate speech is so subjective that you can’t even qualify it. Calling folks Nazis, KKK, or any other label who are not part of those ideologies does nothing but foster true hate for those who are the labelers!!!
Freedom must be defended at all costs, but violence must never be used to promote freedom. Preaching the ideas of freedom and liberty are the best and brightest way to defend our freedoms and liberties!!!
