    The Good Ol' Boys | Season 2 , Episode 37

    Send us Fan Mail  When people run out of facts, evidence, or persuasive arguments, the conversation often shifts from debating ideas to labeling people. Whether it's calling them a "Nazi," "racist," "misogynist," "fascist," or "member of the Good Ol' Boys Club," these accusations have become common shortcuts that often replace meaningful discussion.  Watch the full video here : https://youtu.be/nY7p_IWG_Es  In this episode of The JoCo Republican Podcast, we take a closer look at one of those labels: "The Good Ol' Boys Club." What does it actually mean? When is it a legitimate criticism, and when is it simply used to dismiss people without addressing the substance of what they're saying?   Joining me is Ronald Lee, Senior Investigative Editor for the U.S. Observer, who has spent more than 25 years investigating corruption, abuse of power, and injustice throughout America. Ron brings his experience and perspective to a discussion about labels, reputations, local politics, and the importance of sticking to facts rather than assumptions.   A special thank you to Ron Lee for taking the time to join the show and share his insights.   Please visit the U.S. Observer: https://usobserver.com/   Thank you for watching, and if you enjoy these conversations, please like, subscribe, and share.

    Remembering Jace | Season 2 Episode 36

    Send us Fan Mail  In today's episode of The JoCo Republican Podcast, we discuss the tragic death of "Jace Ricky Matthew Sinderson" on Fish Hatchery Road in Grants Pass in December of 2025 and the questions that continue to surround the case by his mother.  Watch the full video here :  https://youtu.be/OG39wq2cIiU Months later, there appears to be very little publicly available information regarding the incident. No widely reported news coverage, limited to no public records, and many unanswered questions have left friends, family, and community members searching for answers.  Why has so little information been released? Was the investigation completed? Were the findings ever made public? Is there more to the story that the community and his mother deserves to know?  This episode tells us what is publicly known, what remains unknown, and why transparency matters when a tragedy impacts a local family and community. If you have firsthand information, public records, or additional facts regarding this case, we encourage you to share them.  Visit the Instagram for this here : https://www.instagram.com/jaceforever24/ Her  Facebook Presence is located here : https://l.instagram.com/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2F1ASPejbZRS%2F%3Fmibextid%3DwwXIfr%26utm_source%3Dig%26utm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_content%3Dlink_in_bio&e=AUDnx_GHKfZDUQ0zJxgH-ENPFVktgOOY_EgREYqHq01cdSRaIziDakKM6oBKEaDHf4PcFCeOEumhmr0UZBscW6JVeJktab3b1pDYhnG-KWPzoLRmfkYI87V5agZa94jGMHBEydk

    Tabloid Rage! | Season 2 Episode 35

    Send us Fan Mail  The Grants Pass Tribune is at it again.  See the full video here : https://youtu.be/jyu27xdFjfU This week we're diving into the latest controversy surrounding candidate filings, the Tribune's demands for answers from John West and Chad Hansen, and the claim that refusing to engage with a known leftist newspaper somehow creates suspicion. Here's the problem: candidate filings are required to be truthful under Oregon law. Nobody disputes that.  But where exactly does the law say candidates must answer a newspaper's questions, provide documents on demand, or participate in a publication's investigation? We'll break down what a SEL 101 actually is, what Oregon law actually requires, and why "they didn't answer us" is not the same thing as evidence.  We'll also discuss the elephant in the room: the Tribune's history with local conservatives, the prior litigation involving John West, and why some people are questioning whether this is journalism or simply another attempt to stir up controversy. (It's the latter trust me) If there is proof of wrongdoing, let's see it. If not, maybe it's time to stop turning unanswered emails into front-page scandals. Join us for a fact-based discussion, a few laughs, and a look at the latest chapter in Josephine County politics.

    Unsolved Mystery | Season 2 Episode 34

    Send us Fan Mail SEE THE VIDEO HERE : https://youtu.be/gsUTSyG2gjc?si=Hry0oMDStG1d01Wk A local resident recently made a post on Facebook on every local Facebook group I am a member of accusing members of our party of possible ballot harvesting or other foul play simply because volunteers were helping members of the public by taking ballots, voter registration forms, and other paperwork across the street to the courthouse. The reality is this has been done for years by volunteers helping people in the community down at our office. What caught my attention was not just the accusation itself, but the photograph that was used. I went down and took my own picture from outside and, at nearly six feet tall, it became obvious the original image appeared to be taken from well above normal standing height. I also pointed out details like the windowsill and dust patterns on the glass that strongly suggest the photo may have actually been taken from inside the courthouse building looking outward. Without accusing anyone specifically, it raises a fair question: why would county employees or anyone inside a public building in a private office be photographing members of the public during normal business hours? I’ll let the community look at the evidence and decide for themselves.  We certainly aren't paying these public servants and employees over 50 million dollars a year to spy on members of the public..
