The attack on the Capitol building in Washington, DC was wrong and anyone involved with it should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
Vast majorities of both Democrats and Republicans agree with that statement. But if we distill it down to it’s base argument — mob violence is always wrong — the opinions diverge.
In this episode, I talk about why that is, and suggest who might be to blame for normalizing mob violence.
While the presidential race is still in litigation, things look quite good for Republicans down-ballot. At the very least (assuming good turnout in Georgia for the 2 Senate seat runoffs), Democrats’ more radical agenda items may be stopped.
How do you choose your news channel? Is it that it shows you the slant you want? If so, maybe “news” isn’t what you’re looking for.
At the time I took notes for this episode, there was no definitive answer to the question, “Who will be our next President?” But there’s still plenty of election news to give my thoughts on.
I have 3 topics this time, all suggested by listeners.
First, a description of how the pandemic has affected one listener.
Second, an email wonders what “defunding the police” will do to taxes; will they go down or will the government find somewhere else to spend the money?
And third, another email alerted me to a group on the Left that is planning to react to any election shenanigans of violence from the Right over the election. At least, that’s what they claim.
For episode 300, I asked for questions about the podcast and me. I got a response with many good questions, and I’ll be answering them in this episode.
Then I go on to answer questions about me that I didn’t get asked but that I thought might be interesting to you.
The largest study of transgender people, and how gender surgery affects their mental health, has reversed it’s results. The original study said that such surgery was helpful to their mental health. That was covered by the news media. But 10 months later, it turns out that the results were not as they were sold. Has that been covered?
Dan was the last of his kind, but now he’s been cast aside. What was it that caused his demise?
Many of my friends on Facebook have been conflating absentee ballots with all-mail (or universal mail-in) ballots. They are not the same, and yes they do have serious fraud risks. That’s not just me saying it.
“Just because same-sex marriage is legal doesn’t mean that other changes will be made, like polygamy!” That’s what they told us. And yet we keep slipping down that slope.
Democrats say the dardest things! Sometimes they’re funny and sometimes, well, let’s just say they’d never let a Republican get away with saying that.
We might still not have 100% of the votes counted in the Iowa Caucus, and the chairman of the DNC is calling for a re-canvassing of the results. What a nightmare that has application in other areas of government.
With the impeachment of Donald Trump behind us, I finally have some thoughts about it.
And Hillary Clinton is getting sued…by another Democrat. Get out the popcorn!
