This is Janis Kristiansen, news junkie, and fan of politics, government, & American history. In this podcast I will be discussing the tangled angles of conservative American values given to us by the Constitution, while using facts and keeping it classy.*Why a podcast? My husband served in the WA State House of Representatives for 16 years, and during that time I had a front row seat to state government and American politics. So come listen in to my insider's view of what I saw and what I learned in government and politics, from a woman who is old enough to have something to say and young enough to still want to.

    Why does Bill Gates Want To Get Rid of Beef? Here's Why Beef is Good for America.

    Why does Bill Gates Want To Get Rid of Beef? Here's Why Beef is Good for America.

    The beef industry is good for America, both for the economy and our health. Why does Bill Gates and other billionaires who have always lived in the city in the heart of urban environments want to destroy the beef industry?
    They dine in find urban restaurants, order beef on the menu in expensive and exquisite restaurants, and sip wine in luxury, so why are they so bent on the rest of us not eating beef? 
    Who doesn't love a good hamburger once in a while or a really good steak on the grill? Why do they want to destroy the beef industry and try and get all of us to not eat beef? As the popular ad says: "Beef! It’s what’s for dinner” 

    Cattle have wandered on the North American continent since the 1400's. Here I trace their footsteps, and describe the foundational, sustainable, vital industry we have here in America because of cattle.

    Right vs. Left? Or, Sane vs. Crazy?

    Right vs. Left? Or, Sane vs. Crazy?

    What happened to the argument of Right vs. Left? Or Democrat vs. Republican? 
    We're now into sane vs. crazy. 

    Government is impersonal and does not have a brain nor a soul. In fact, it has no heart. 
    Government will not help without strings attached. Want that free money to show up in a bank account without working, and they call it unemployment help? Okay, they will give that  out, but in exchange  for that, the following year we will get inflation, food shortages, businesses reducing their hours or closing, lack of supply, lack of a work ethic amongst the young and able bodied, and millions of the younger generation with way too much free time. 
    Idle time, the result of paying people to stay home and not have a purpose for each day, and lacking the benefit from the respect and self worth that doing a good job brings,  results in mischief, mayhem, and troublemaking that the rest of us have to endure. 
    When people help one another, person to person, in the exchange there are all sorts benefits: empathy, compassion, assistance, aid. Sometimes there is also instruction, correction, idea sharing, and a job offered, or job help offered, or hearing the words "job well done". 
    When government tries to help people, the outcome is always worse than the problem; the solution is more painful than the problem. 
    The right, or those who are sane, or what the mainstream media likes to call the far right extremists, are simply people who want: 
    * the ability to own firearms to protect ourselves and our families, and should it come to it, to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government that wants to see us in indentured servitude to the few elites. 
    * to be able to present our grievances to the government, without fear of retribution or fear of punishment . Those to who present their grievances to government and are punished for it do not live in a democracy or in a constitutional republic. They live in a socialist Marxist state. 
    * the ability to practice our religion as we see fit
    * the freedom of the press
    *the freedom to peaceably assemble
    *the right not to be over-taxed
    These kinds of people are now called extremists. 
    The left can't tell us what a woman is, want to teach our kids CRT in school, which is just another name for socialist Marxism, teaching kids to judge each other on the basis of skin color, and teaches us teaches kids to hate one another instead of respecting each other.
    Our country, led by the mainstream media and big tech, has been hijacked by the radical left and they're doubling down on crazy. Violent criminals that burned our cities in the summer of 2020 are protected while victims are punished and incarcerated. They want the police defunded and the border wide open. It’s backwards... it's crazy.

    We no longer have a country of Right vs. Left. It's sane vs. crazy. 

    Here in this podcast I discuss what we can do to bring America back from the brink, and restore sanity to our beloved nation.

    The Freedom to Assemble: We Must Gather.

    The Freedom to Assemble: We Must Gather.

    The Freedom to Assemble: We Must Gather. Yes, Meet With Others, Plan, Party, and Pray. Go To The Sporting Event. Go To Church. Get Out of Your “Safe Space”, and Meet With Others. 
    We must gather together to protect and uphold our very civilization, and all that it means to be human. These last almost 3 years since our horrible governments reaction to covid, since March of 2020 when the governor of WA state forced the closure of the bars and restaurants, but left pot shops, liquor stores, and strip clubs open, we have lost the simple yet profound practice of getting together, at sporting events, restaurants, homes, churches and working with our colleagues in person. There is something lost when we are not together, and something profound happens when we are. 
    We must overcome the fear, habit, or maybe it’s just laziness of not getting together. 
    We need to gather together because this is one of the hallmarks of freedom.
    This year is the first year in 3 years that the WA state legislature is meeting in person. They shut down in 2020, closed the doors of the capital building, and took the lockdown experiment to extreme levels, even going so far as to building a fence around the capital. I know they did this at the federal level also, building a fence around the peoples house. 
    And what was lost at the state level for doing this? Personal contact, private conversations, who knows what “zoom” knows when we have these on line meetings? Our privacy was robbed from us, as we were "required" to lockdown and hibernate from one another. 
    On line interaction takes away empathy, feeling, the ability to communicate more effectively with the non-verbal cues, and reduces the humanity from the interaction. It gives those in authority who do not want to listen to an opinion the ability to drop the line, cut off the connection, or make the Internet reception run a foul.
    Talking in person with someone is so much more that the verbal words that are spoken, it’s the facial expressions, tone of voice, and just observing the essence and the humanity of the person that we are interacting with. 
    Electronic communication, social media, and on line communication take away our humanity and reduce us to robotic machines, and it’s much harder to insult someone face to face than to post a mean or rude comment on a social media platform. 
    Meeting in person soothes the interactions, and removes some of the potential for misunderstandings and the temptation to be rude, mean, or hateful. 
    Gathering to gather is a sign of freedom, liberty, free thinking, and mental health. Isolated people get weird and odd ideas that are not based in reality.
    Gathering to gather gives life meaning clarity, and joy. 
    Community and living life with others in person are what holds us together, keeps us sane, and helps us to lighten up and find some joy and laughter in the midst of life. 
    Joy, embracing, holding each other up, laughing together, eating together, praying together, fellowshipping with those who have common interests with us are what makes us so free in our Western culture. 
    These things on the surface seem so simple and so basic, but that is exactly why they are so powerful. 
    This is where the power of people comes from, the ability to gather, to peaceably assemble. 
    We must not forsake the gathering together, as some have made a habit of doing. 
    The freedom of assembly is literally what holds us together.

    SHORT: Biden Student Loan "Forgiveness" Part II

    SHORT: Biden Student Loan "Forgiveness" Part II

    Biden's student debt "forgiveness" plan is still tied up in court. The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case on Feb. 28, 2023. 
    Those who owe this debt are still waiting for the government to decide if a portion of their debt can be erased from their responsibility, and put on the backs of the US taxpayers. 
    Last year, on November 10th, 2022, 2 days after our national election day, and just past the time to let those gullible and vulnerable voters know that student debt forgiveness was ruled unlawful, a US District Judge ruled that Biden’s debt forgiveness plan flopped, and has been overruled by a US District court. 
    And Friday Nov. 11th, 2022 the Biden admin ceased to accept applications for federal student loan forgiveness so those who were holdouts and were hoping that their student debt, or a portion of their student debt, was going to be forgiven should not even bother to apply anymore. 
    Some who think they may have gotten past the preliminary round of the application process are still holding out.. 
    So the College loan debt of $1.75 TRILLION dollars for a college education where only 46% of those who graduate work in their field of study is still owed by those who borrowed it, for now. 
    So all this to say is that 40 million borrowers, who may have paused paying their student loans back, are waiting until Feb 28th, well, into March 2023 to see what the Supreme Court says. 
    This is snagged up I court for now, but going beyond the legal question of this debt “forgiveness”, it’s also important that we address the ethical and moral aspect of this horrible idea. 
    If a student borrowed money to go to college and thought it was a good idea to borrow it, or were under pressure from their parents to borrow it, if have any ethical responsibility, any sense of moral duty, they should pay it back. 
    To ask the American taxpayer, many who did not attend college but yet are paying taxes, to pay their debt is unethical, and putting their debt burden upon someone who did not go to college, or someone who did go to college and paid for it…. Is stealing. It’s taking what is not rightfully theirs, and asking someone else, the American taxpayer, to take on this debt and pay it back for them. 
    And many of those who want to defend this debt that was perceived to be put upon them unfairly say these young adults borrowed the money when they were young and they didn't really know what they were doing, maybe their parents helped them go into debt by taking out these large loans, etc., and they just didn't understand what they were doing. 
    We understand that. The federal college loan program is absolutely corrupt and predatory on younger people who don't understand what debt will do to their lives.
    The real answer is to stop the federal student loan program altogether. That’s the real answer. It was never the intent of the founders of our nation, nor is it in the US Constitution or the Rill of rights, that the government should pay for an individual's college education.

    Citizenship, Open Borders, & The Middle Class

    Citizenship, Open Borders, & The Middle Class

    Citizenship, Open Borders, and the Middle Class 
    Only just over 1/2 of the people on the planet today enjoy citizenship status in their own countries. Others are subjects, or serfs, or otherwise live at the whim and desires of a ruling class, dictatorship, or other overlords who grant them little to no freedoms. 
    WHAT IS a citizen? 
    Citizens vote, make their own laws, choose our own punishment, determine tax rates, travel about freely from city to city and state to state, work where we want, eat what we want and as much or as little as we want, live how we want, own property, are protected by a citizen-friendly military, and enjoy endless hours of entertainment & free time. 
    Citizens in a free country have little concept of lack, starvation, shortages, and rationed electricity and power.
    No one man or woman serves another man or woman without pay or compensation, and citizens are free to earn as little or as much money as they want to. Citizens can choose their economic class and status in life. 
    The USA is the longest running nation under the same Constitution in the history of the world. No other nation like this has ever existed. Our innovation, inventions, prosperity, health, wealth, and success is unmatched in the history of the world. 
    The erosion of the middle class is key to destroying a republic and the Constitution. The middle class is key to a thriving, growing Constitutional republic like we used to have here in the USA, and we need to learn, understand, and then take action to uphold this important people of a nation, the middle class. 
    Citizens don’t need to get a shot and a booster shot to have a job. Citizens don’t need a shot to enter a restaurantCitizens are not told to stop exercising and taking care of themselves during a time of sickness, and gyms are left open for the muscle, health and strength of our nation to remain strong. Citizens are not told that borders and gender are fluid, but getting a shot is a mandate that has no room for fluidity or choice. Citizens don’t need permission to plant crops, & build houses, yes, it’s good citizenship to do unto others as you would have them do unto you, but citizens don’t need permission to grow food and live free of harassment. Citizens don’t need permission to bake a cake, or not to bake a cake. Citizens don’t need permission to provide flower arrangements, or not provide flower arrangements for events and occasions. Citizens want the freedom to choose which car to drive, without an environmental message being shoved down our throats. Citizens want flowing drinking water, electricity, natural gas, and other fuels from the earth to affordably power the heat in our homes, and energize our light bulbs. Citizens want to be free of taxation, regulation, and harassment from a government that wants to limit or restrict these freedoms.

    Stop Hating on Politicians & Police For the Good of Our Nation

    Stop Hating on Politicians & Police For the Good of Our Nation

    Hating on Politicians and The Police is Ruining our Country
    Hating on any profession that our country needs for its survival is a bad idea, because it denigrates and demoralizes the very people that we need to hold the fabric of our nation together. 
    When politicians, the police, doctors, lawyers, business owners, CEOs, and everyone else who participates in society including all the people that work in the trades, manufacturing, agriculture, and everything else that is absolutely vital for the health and well-being of a group of people, get bashed, demonized, demoralized and ridiculed, this destroys a nation. 
    During the summer of 2020 when our rotten governor of Washington state declared who was essential and who was nonessential in our economy, and when he dictated who could work and who couldn't work, this was devastating to the health and well-being of so many people, and has wrecked the economy. Every legal job and profession in any state or nation is vital to the future and well-being of the people who live there. 
    We must honor and uphold the offices of those who are elected, the law enforcement that is vital to our society, and every other profession that contributes to the health and prosperity of our nation, otherwise we are tearing down our own nation with our own hands.
