My thoughts on the No Kings Day protests and the use of executive power are a little layered. Biden and leftist officials thought nothing of limiting the presence and movement of American citizens during COVID or of thumbing his nose at the Supreme Court when it came to student loan forgiveness. They also didn’t like the Dobbs decision that sent the issue of abortion back to the states. Similarly, Trump thinks nothing of deploying federal troops into the streets of American cities he doesn’t like or of raising taxes (tariffs) when and where he pleases. I would summarize by saying I think most Americans are either for or against the use of executive power depending on if they are for or against the executive IN power. There is no moral consistency. What do you make of the No Kings Day protests?
John, there are so many challenges politically for the US, it’s just difficult to imagine who or what can get us back to “old school” common sense politics. Quess what … I do have THE answer … TERM LIMITS!
Everyone gets six years - Reps, Senators, and the President. Then, they will VOTE THEIR CONSCIENCE - not worrying about running for reelection. After six, then out, with a nice little pension.
No longer will the Representatives in the House spend all their waking hours groveling for money - running for office every TWO years? Really? That system is broken.
So, going forward, whenever someone speaks about one of our elected officials not standing up for what most thinking people consider “American Values” - do what your elected officials won’t do, yell “WE NEED TERM LIMITS”! Bingo!
John, I haven’t heard a peep from either side (of course), so let’s fill in the blanks, shall we? … Aloha, Mike
John, what is the real deal on Stephen Miller? Or is it just a personality glitch that has gone wild. He says some provocative piercing comments and someof his family members are disowning him; heartbroken over his behavior.
Matt Walsh was mentioned this week, and it brought to my mind a question for John and Bernie about the entire genre of self-published opinion-news(?) sites without oversight editors ensuring a minimal level of legitimate sourcing and fact checking. How do folks like yourselves, trying to not be red meat mongers, stay true to your responsibilities and original intentions? Ever think about throwing in the towel? I would love to hear you two discuss this in your podcast!

Good question for sure, Scott. I'll run it by Bernie.
