    EPISODE 44: President Joseph Biden - Inauguration Day

    EPISODE 44: President Joseph Biden - Inauguration Day

    In EPISODE 44 I finally get around to my thoughts on President Joe Biden's Inauguration Day . . . and the events that quickly followed.
    From 17 Executive Orders to the updated Oval Office right down to the new Press Secretary and the first few days of briefings she provided - I talk about it all including the Main Stream Media's love affair with the Biden's and their last shots of distain towards the outgoing President Trump and his administration.
    BUCKLE UP!
    This is a quick but bumpy one!

    EPISODE 43: The Making of a Martyr - Trump Impeachment 2.0

    EPISODE 43: The Making of a Martyr - Trump Impeachment 2.0

    In this episode I discuss how Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic lead House essentially made a martyr out of President Trump with their political stunt of impeaching him for a second time last week.  They have now turned impeachment into a political weapon that can be wielded at anyone the Speaker dares to swing her gavel (nicknamed Mjolnir I'm sure) at.
    As we look forward to Joe Biden's inauguration on the 20th it will definitely bring with it fireworks of some sort - the question is, who will they be aimed at?  The remaining supporters of President Trump in Congress or the rest of us with the likes of Forbes targeting our livelihoods?
    Only time will tell . . .

    EPISODE 41: WINTER IS COMING - Media Blackout Of Biden Administration? Will It Be The Same As It Was For Obama Administration?

    EPISODE 41: WINTER IS COMING - Media Blackout Of Biden Administration? Will It Be The Same As It Was For Obama Administration?

    The Obama Administration was notorious for their interaction with the Main Stream Media, but not how you might think.  Despite the constant love affair with the Administration on the side of the Main Stream Mafia, the Obama Administration treated them like the clingy girlfriend who would take any abuse they decided to dish out. 
    That was until their second term in 2013 when they went too far spying on the Associated Press's staff's work and personal cells and emails.
    In this episode I discuss what happened in 2013 and ponder if this is what we can expect from an incoming Biden Administration.  If so, how will the Main Stream Media handle things this go round?  Will they stand up for themselves or keep lobbing softball's at Biden like what flavor ice cream he got at the local ice cream shop? 
    At this point given their excitement since November 3rd I can only imagine the love affair we will all be baring witness too for the next four years.
    God help us . . .

    EPISODE 40: SSDD - Change The Rules To Win The Day

    EPISODE 40: SSDD - Change The Rules To Win The Day

    In this episode I discuss the Democrats innate ability to constantly change the rules when they are at a disadvantage in order to regain an advantage to win - no matter what the cost.  
    I'll discuss how they have done this in the past with eliminating the filibuster for SCOTUS nominations, their desire to stack the SCOTUS should Biden win the White House in January and how just last week we saw an example of young democrats at Cornell University kicking out two Conservative members of their School Government in order to get passed legislation to disarm their police on campus.
    We'll dive into how they play the game and turn the table on Conservatives painting them out to be horrible human beings should you oppose their oppressive views and how finally we are starting to see some Republicans in Congress speak out with the same contempt for the Democrats as they have for us . . . I'm looking at you Sen. Johnson! 
    Well done on your speech last week in the "2020 Voting Irregularities" hearing - it earned you this weeks spotlight!

    EPISODE 39: Political Roundtable Session I -- "The 2020 Election"

    EPISODE 39: Political Roundtable Session I -- "The 2020 Election"

    In this inaugural #StatecraftPRS (yeah, lets make this hashtag a thing - okay?) I discuss the multitude of stories swirling around the 2020 Election even now weeks beyond Election day.  There is just so much going on in the world of politics recently that I struggled to pick one single topic to discuss - so I decided to pick many of them and blend them together over the general subject of "The Election".  So lets "talk" about Biden, Trump, Hunter, Pence and all sorts of stuff that invariably follows those individuals wherever they go.
    Even though this isn't a "roundtable" in the true meaning of the word I wanted to get the seed of the idea planted in your head, see what kind of response I get to the idea and then schedule one for a few weeks from now.  You see, roundtable discussions NEED PEOPLE . . . otherwise its no different than what I'm doing today. 
    SO - I hope this gets you considering joining the conversation and excited to participate in an upcoming LIVE session.
    Sound good?  Fantastic!
    Let's Do This!
