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.

    Illegals, Moslems & Other Problems

    Michael and I return to a discussion of current events, of what is going on that affects our Country. We discuss the hatred for the USA that Invading Illegals and Leftist citizens have for our country, and contrast that with the newfound love for the United States that Europeans have been expressing lately during the World Cup. We cover how California Democrats hide the homeless when the Chinese Dictator and World Cup tourists visit, but let the streets and parks return to their actual disgusting state when those visitors leave... We tell a few jokes and then get back to the shitshow that the Leftists and RINOs on the Supreme Court have unleashed on us, with their wrong-headed decision on Birthright Citizenship, and what Congress (if it has the guts) can do to counter it. Mike and I also come up with our own solutions to that problem. We talk about the Loony Left's attacks on the Reflecting Pool, Iran, Trans "women" and how they fake Menstruation, the harvesting of human organs, not only in China, but in Canada as well (where the government is all to ready to both help Canadians [with health problems, both physical and mental] commit suicide). We go onto the dangers European women face every day thanks their muslim-friendly governments and to Moslem migrants who think rape is acceptable; whereas Brazil has the most in total, the per capita "winner" is Sweden, with 117 rapes per 100,000 people. The "knockout game" being perpetrated against women and the elderly in blue cities in America; comparisons of how Americans live as compared to other nations. Mike runs down the list of countries in which rape has skyrocketed, first by total rapes, then per capita - and why. I then bring up the popularity of the new film, CITIZEN VIGILANTE. I bring up the reasons for gun control being necessary for a TYRANNICAL STATE, like the UK, Australia, Canada - just to mention the Anglosphere. The "Vampire Law" in Hawaii (and other Democrat States) has been struck down by SCOTUS thank God. I bring up how Obama gave Iran drone technology...and a little about Obama's dystopian building known as the Obama Library...and how Obama is stiffing the black contractors who built that horror... We bring up the nation's 250th Birthday, Barbie dolls and their unrealistic proportions, and Steve Reeves, then end up arguing about grammar.

    Humberto & David Cancio: Cuban Hearts, American Spirits

    Authors Umberto and David Cancio discuss their Gabriel Locke series, exploring themes of law, culture, and the socio-political landscape of Miami and Cuba. They delve into the representation of Hispanic culture in their work, the current economic situation in Cuba, and the implications of socialism and communism on society. Humberto was born in Cuba, but his family escaped the Castro Regime early on; he recounts the harrowing experience that led to their having to flee their home country; it sounds like the plot of a suspense/adventure movie.The conversation covers the challenges facing the American dream and the generational shifts in values and beliefs. Roy, Mike, and the Cancios discuss the unique experience of motherhood, the impact of education on society, and the illusion of freedom leading to societal destruction. They explore the modern subversive culture, the dangers of DEI initiatives, and the consequences of a lack of competition in the economy. The discussion also touches on corporate morality, the role of AI in society, and personal stories of escape from Cuba, highlighting the resilience and patriotism of Cuban Americans.

    Let's see what's going on

    ### Understanding Grooming Gangs in England The conversation opens with a shocking statistic about the estimated 250,000 English girls who have reportedly been victims of grooming gangs, predominantly composed of Pakistani men. Roy emphasizes the government's reluctance to address this issue, citing political motivations that prioritize protecting certain groups over the victims. This highlights a broader concern regarding accountability and the responsibility of authorities to act in the public interest. ### The Challenge of Racial Dialogue Roy and Michael’s dialogue also touches on the current climate of racial tension, particularly concerning the backlash against white individuals following incidents involving black figures. Roy expresses concern over calls for violence against white people, suggesting that such rhetoric only perpetuates division rather than fostering understanding. ### Riots as "celebrations" Roy critiques the actions of certain fans following sports victories that lead to destructive behavior, questioning the mentality behind such actions.

    Scott Janney - Breaking the Incumbent Stranglehold on Pennsylvania

    From Scott Janney: Ever felt like your vote doesn't matter? You're not alone. Here's what I witnessed during my campaign... As I campaigned, I saw folks from outside Pennsylvania bused in, claiming to support candidates but they didn’t even live here. It raises questions about who really influences our elections. When I worked the polls, I noticed the lack of local representation. Most poll workers weren’t from our community, and many dedicated locals were left out. This isn’t just about voting; it’s about who’s involved in our democracy. We need to ensure that our elections reflect the voices of those who actually live here. If you don’t vote, you hand over power to those who don’t have your best interests at heart. Let’s change the narrative and ensure our elections are truly for the people, by the people. *** Mike and I spoke with Scott about this and other matters that should concern voters everywhere. Scott is running for State Senate in Pennsylvania, against a trio of incumbents who have collectively held office for an entire CENTURY! Are they serving their constituents - or themselves? Scott represents fresh blood, fresh ideas, a fresh start for Pennsylvanians. Check out his platform and see for yourself that he is worth voting for: scottjanney.com *_*_*_* 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.

    Memorial Day Weekend Chat

    Summary In this conversation, hosts Roy and Michael discuss various topics ranging from Hollywood's evolving landscape, cultural appropriation, and the political climate surrounding Trump, to the implications of universal basic income and the limitations of AI. They delve into the impact of welfare systems on communities, the complexities of homelessness, and the role of comedy in social commentary, all while maintaining a humorous and critical tone throughout. In this conversation, Roy and Michael delve into the complexities of AI, the biases in information sources, and the implications of electric vehicles and autonomous technology on society and the environment. They discuss the challenges of understanding AI's rationale, the skewed nature of news sources, and the energy demands of AI and electric vehicles. The conversation also touches on the societal impacts of AI, including the potential for government control and the environmental concerns surrounding technology. Takeaways Stephen Colbert's cancellation reflects changing tastes in Hollywood. Cultural appropriation debates often ignore the essence of acting. Democrats lack a coherent platform beyond anti-Trump sentiment. Comedy can be a double-edged sword in discussions of race. Universal Basic Income may lead to societal stagnation. Welfare systems can have detrimental effects on communities. Homelessness requires practical solutions, not just sympathy. AI's limitations highlight the complexity of human experience. The future of work may be challenged by automation and AI. Political discourse is often driven by emotional responses rather than logic. AI's rationale may become too complex for humans to understand. Information sources are inherently biased, regardless of their political stance. It's crucial to eliminate known biased sources when seeking information. The energy demands of AI could lead to shortages for households and electric vehicles. Autonomous vehicles may improve safety but raise concerns about control and data privacy. The integration of AI into daily life increases its reach and potential for misuse. Governments could potentially control or disable electric vehicles remotely. Electric vehicles' environmental benefits are questionable due to fossil fuel dependency. The disposal of lithium batteries poses significant environmental challenges. The societal impact of AI and automation could lead to a loss of purpose for individuals. *_*_*_* 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.
