The View From Here - behind Enemy lines

Roy Pitta’s The View From Here
  • 5.0 (1)
  • POLITICS

Mainly political, but not always; I hope you’ll find whatever I talk about both entertaining and educational. The name is from a weekly column I wrote in the early 90s, and is a subtle reference to my being “behind enemy lines” - a (then) Republican surrounded by Democrats; that situation has worsened, as I now watch both Democrats & RINOs they slowly turn The Garden State into a S******e...I believe in true Republican Principles, not in the Establishment GOP these days. So I describe myself as a Constitutional Conservative Libertarian. And thankfully, I’m not as alone as I once thought.

    White Privilege R Us Skit (Corrected Video)

    This episode marks the start of a new series within our series; it is my co-host Mike's brainchild, and which, being Conservatives, we did not abort: a tongue-in-cheek learning experience combining Prager U short video presentations with the satirical absurdity of The Babylon Bee. The name of this series is The League of Lofty Lessons. Though I prefer and will probably in the future rename it to League of Lofty Learning Lessons... To help us in this new satirical take on the world, Mike was able to recruit Wendy Fazio, a rarity: a Librarian who is also a MAGA Conservative - which places her in the category of Conservative Actors who have to navigate the Den of Leftist Vipers better known as Hollywood. Our first episode in this satirical series is the title of this episode, and deals with (oddly enough) White Privilege (which, although not really a "thing", is constantly dredged up by the Loony Left, and thus the first Leftist Banner we want to tear down. We hope you enjoy this little goofball episode, and that it encourages you to join us for future episodes in which we will attack, one by one over time, all the shaky pillars of Leftist "Thought". *_*_*_* LEGAL STUFF: All opinions expressed in this show are the personal opinions of the people expressing them, based on facts as they are known to or interpreted by the speaker, and are not necessarily the opinion of, or endorsed by, either the Platform(s) on which this show is streaming, or the Hosts or Guests - BUT are Protected Speech under the First Amendment to our Constitution.

    Conversation on a Snowy Day

    We haven't done a podcast this week, so I am offering you a podcast we recorded on January 25th, after we had that big snow storm. It's short, and I should have posted it online Wednesday, but this week has been a very busy week that has taken up a lot of my attention and time... Anyway, we never got to use this one because we recorded TWO Interviews in the following days, with Ken Abramowitz and Julian Hagman, which were published online, leaving this as one of our "reserve" shows that I hold onto for occasions when we don't record - like this week. Some of the topics we mention/discuss here: Somalia, Minneapolis, Fraud, Democrats, Welfare Cheats, Dan Bongino, FBI, Hannity, Whistleblowers, Gavin Newsome, Railroad to nowhere, DeBlasio, Infrastructure, George Floyd Riots, Derek Chauvin, Civil Rights, Election Integrity, Frey, Walz, Anti-Gunners, Opposition to Self-Defense, Don Lemon, Self-Defense for Seniors, *_*_*_* LEGAL STUFF: All opinions expressed in this show are the personal opinions of the people expressing them, based on facts as they are known to or interpreted by the speaker, and are not necessarily the opinion of, or endorsed by, either the Platform(s) on which this show is streaming, or the Hosts or Guests - BUT are Protected Speech under the First Amendment to our Constitution.

    Jared Knott on Tiny Blunders & Big Disasters

    Jared Knott is an international bestselling author, speaker, frequent podcast guest, and history aficionado. He has had numerous articles published in the Mensa Bulletin and in graduate school textbooks on subjects ranging from Supreme Court Reform to Arctic Exploration. He was a decorated combat infantry officer in Vietnam in the First Air Cavalry Division. In his civilian career, he has served as a vice president of sales & marketing and marketing director in the home improvement industry. His first book, Tiny Blunders/Big Disasters: Thirty-Nine Mistakes That Changed the World Forever is an international bestseller. A father of five, he lives in the Atlanta area with his wife, Kathryn. We start the podcast speaking with Jared about the current Iranian conflict, and the recent State of the Union address. We then move on to Jared's books: The Impact of Tiny Mistakes on Major Events: Lessons from History Small blunders have led to monumental outcomes in history. In history, it's often the grand decisions and actions that capture our attention. However, what about the seemingly insignificant mistakes that have changed the course of events? In his books, Jared Knott delves into the fascinating world of tiny blunders that led to significant disasters and breakthroughs. Understanding these can provide valuable insights into decision-making today. Some of the Blunders in his books (which he addresses in this podcast) include the stupid mistakes that led to the Fall of Constantinople, and the sinking of The Bismarck. He then touches upon: The Power of Small Mistakes Small mistakes can have disproportionately large consequences, a phenomenon evident in many historical events, where a minor error precipitated significant changes. A prime example is the case of Alexander Fleming, whose untidy laboratory practices led to the discovery of penicillin. The Butterfly Effect in Politics Mistakes aren't just limited to science; they also play a crucial role in politics. The 2000 U.S. presidential election is an example of how a small design error on a ballot changed the course of history. This example underscores how a single, seemingly minor design choice can have catastrophic consequences, highlighting the importance of clarity and precision in decision-making. Tiny Oversights Small mistakes can lead to disastrous consequences, as seen in how an exposed piece of tape led to the Watergate scandal and its impact on the Presidency of Richard Nixon. Jared also talks about how understanding the impact of tiny mistakes in history can inform our decision-making processes today. - Embrace Flexibility - Prioritize Clarity - Learn from History Tiny mistakes can lead to monumental changes, as illustrated by historical events in science, politics, and warfare. Recognizing the power of these mistakes can help us navigate our own decision-making processes more effectively. Right now we have to consider how the blunder of how Democrats acted during the SOTU may affect the midterm elections...

    AJ Rice, Publicist extraordinaire, was slated to be our gust for this one, but something came up and he was on a plane when we recorded this episode. So we did another impromptu episode on a random topic, by tripping through the alphabet - for the fun of it.
