The Boomer Effect

“The Boomer Effect” takes a look at generations that came before and after us in an effort to understand our differences and establish common ground. All durable and long-lasting civilizations have one thing in common; they respect the wisdom of their elders and do not mock it. Yes Boomers made mistakes- but we got a lot right as well. Part of getting it right is extending what we've learned to Generation Z, and Millennials. The great depression gave us a post World War II generation of adults determined to give their children everything that they didn't have. Maybe that was a mistake...

    Tiny Mistakes that Created Big Disasters

    How is history really made? It’s not always the major events but rather a mosaic of many small events that often form critical turning points in history. Some of these small events were seemingly tiny mistakes that led to great disasters. Such as: The End of The Roman Empire. The Fall of Constantinople in 1453 came about because someone forgot to close and lock a major gate. The Sinking of The Bismarck. The captain of Germany’s largest battleship decides to break radio silence after being warned not to do so, contributing to the sinking of the Great Ship and an enormous Allied victory. Laboratory Mistakes. Two of the biggest developments in medical history took place because of mistakes in the laboratory. One saved many millions of lives; the other cost the lives of over ten million people worldwide. Learn the intriguing story of what they were. Jared takes Jerry and Rose into the deep shadows, the black holes, and the Nooks and Crannies to give you the facts behind the big events. Hear about mysteries and resolutions that you never knew existed. These puzzling situations and their outcomes for better or worse have determined the course of human history. These are bizarre, hypnotic stories your history teacher never taught you.

Brian shares the stories of working-class story of heart and hardship. Forgotten eras of American history are discussed with his own family’s four-generation fight for survival in Midwestern farm country.

Along the way, they’ll see what it truly takes to feed our country: accidents that can kill or maim; weather that blesses or threatens; resilience in the face of crushing economic crises, from depressions and recessions to COVID-19; and the tradition that presses down on each generation when you're not just fighting for your job, you're fighting for your heritage.

    Is Our Country in a Rapid and Self-inflicted Decline?

    Matt Purple discusses his book; Decline from the Top: Snapshots from America's Crisis and Glimmers of Hope Matt take Jerry and Rose on a thoughtful and humorous romp through the ruins … with a surprising glimpse of hope. It’s not your imagination. America is in decline. But as depressing as the facts might be, there’s a lot to laugh at. And there might even be hope. This country is in rapid and self-inflicted decline. He demonstrates that the 1990s really were better than today and vividly documents our economic, political, and cultural signs of decay. Thirty years ago, the United States seemed invincible. We had won the Cold War, the economy was galloping, crime had plunged. Life was good, and the country was confident. But since then, a series of crises have drained Americans of their optimism. Our government is dysfunctional, our president thinks he’s an emperor, our kids are uneducated, our streets are filled with crime, Christianity is in decline, wokeness reigns, and addiction has hollowed out our communities. Even late-night comedy has gone down the tubes. Yes, the barbarians are at the gate. In fact, they’re in the living room. But while mockery and satire seem to be the only alternatives to despair, no one wants to believe that his country is beyond redemption. Matt in his book; Decline From The Top offers reasons to hope that what goes down might go back up. https://www.amazon.com/There-Decline-Political-Weirdness-Narcissism_and/dp/1684514622 www.patriotmobile.com Promo Code: ROSE www.americansforprosperity.org

    October 7th: Through Eyes of Capt. Cohon

    Capt. Elkana (Kuno) Cohen, author of OCT 7: The War Against Hamas Through the Eyes of an Israeli Commando Officer. Carnage, not seen since the Second World War. Elkana Cohen, Captain of an Elite Commando Unit was called, along with thousands of other reservists, to prepare for war. One that will have to ensure nothing less than Israel’s survival. In notebooks he found on the ground in the streets of Gaza, Cohen began writing a diary. Every day, he candidly documented the sights of the war. From an honest, precise and fluid first-person perspective, Cohen presents the feeling and story of the war from the eyes of the heroes who were there: the dust, the sweat, the brotherhood, the longing, and the awful smell of death and destruction. Cohen’s writing poignantly describes his relationships with his fellow comrades, the mass arrests of terrorists, the homes of Hamas members, the story of the fallen soldiers, and the desperate hope to bring the hundreds of Israeli hostages home.

    Term Limits For Leaders Of Democracies?

    Lord Conrad Black is of the opinion that there should not be term limits for US Presidents - that if you have a good leader who enjoys the confidence of most citizens, you should celebrate that fact and hang on to that leader. There is an almost constant debate in many Western countries about term limits for elected politicians. In general, these discussions are more frequent in non-parliamentary countries, where the executive does not sit in the legislature and many legislative districts tend to retain the same representative, or at least the same party, for many elections. The United States is so attached to undivided presidencies that it officially considers Cleveland to be both the 22nd and the 24th president, and if Trump returns to the White House he will be regarded as the 45th and the 47th president. The United States initially had no restriction on the number of terms to which a president could be elected, but after Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected four consecutive times and died in office, and despite his great prestige and popularity, the Constitution was amended to limit presidents to two elections to that office.
