No Soundbites Allowed

There are a multitude of things that can be said about Kanye West, but racial slurs should not be among them - unless its said from the Far Left apparently. Going far beyond microaggressions, the Left abandons the pretense of open mindedness as a 1 man revolt from their views incites racism. This is of course not to be outdone by the furthest Left fringe, as Antifa breaks the law in an efforts to intimidate Republicans by vandalism and threats of greater violence to come. We need to share this and our comments.

This episode reviews the question of civility in politics. Not from the perspective from just this week, but going back in time to 2011 and tracking it to today. What has changed? What has devolved? Who has failed to be civil and who has called for it?

This is the 18th Saturday Facebook Live simulcast, where we speak directly to the public, and the topic is how the Brett Kavanaugh confimation vote - and the nomination circus - is affecting the 2018 mid-term election and setting the stage for 2020. Who will be the candidates, what platform will they run on? Why are Democrat leadership in a panic? How will the new precedents affect you? We attempt to address all this with our live audience in this simulcast.

We have a unique theory, that none have yet considered. While the Senate confirmation hearings for Judge Brett Kavanaugh to Supreme Court may not have started as a political circus, with the allegations from Dr. Christine Ford and others, it has become one. But this circus of partisan politics has revealed, in our opinion, not just the the platform and theme of the 2020 presidential race, but quite possibly who will be the top of the ticket for the Democrat nomination race. Gov. Andrew Cuomo is so far out of the realm we don't even mention him. But we do go through other likely front-runners; who will make the cut and who won't and why. Plus, the unstated potential impact on the 2018 mid-term elections. Comments are welcomed - what do you think of the theory?

In a direct conversation with the public, we delve into the Senate Judiciary Hearings on the accusations against Brett Kavanaugh by Christine Ford. What are the inconsistencies in testimony? Do they matter? How is this affecting America? Do you believe her, him, or both? Is your belief based on facts, gender, or political preference?

We start this simulcast podcast via Facebook Live a little later than normal due to coverage of Congresswoman Claudia Tenney at the Greater Binghamton Sports Center. But we get to a full run almost immediately, addressing the national issue of Professor Ford and her allegation of sexual assault by Judge Kavanaugh 35 years ago. An issue clouded by emotion, but at its core a political abuse that only serves to damage all Americans. Please share this, especially the call for all those who have suffered a sexual assault to come forward, so justice can stand by them. There is a lot in this episode, an you may be surprised.

We delve into the timeline of the Kavanaugh nomination, and the obstacles that have been attempted to derail it. More importantly we look at aspects of the consequences this political circus has created for the nation. From the attempts to vilify all men, to victimizing the victim, this has moved well beyond the Supreme Court and is credibly changing the nation forever.

We have another fan of the podcast, Dom Costantino, come in to speak with us directly about issues that matter. Topics include: Free Speech and Censorship, the Keapernick protest, the increase of socialism and the 2020 election, what causes mass shootings (the subset of school shootings) and heroin abuse and how to try to stop them. It's a lot of issues, with a real person, with real opinions. Do you agree more with Dom, Michael, or neither?

In our 15th weekly Saturday conversation directly with the public, we covered a bit of ground on all the different formats that our speech is being censored and compelled - just not in those words. From blocking commercials to hiding Republican and Conservative users, we discuss how this negatively impacts all voters, even Democrats and the Far Left. We also talk a bit about the Primaries, and the NY Air Show.

On September 13, 2018, Republican voters in the 122nd Assembly District will have an important opportunity to share their voice on the direction of the November ballot with the Primary vote. The Primary is between 23 year incumbent Cliff Crouch and first time candidate Nick Libous. We already interviewed Cliff Crouch on his record, his vote on pending Red Flag legislation, and this election challenge. Now we speak with the only other opponent in the race, Nick Libous, on the issues he stands for, the change he hopes to enact if elected, and who he is. This is an exclusive interview in a race largely overlooked by all other news media.

It's sexism in the office, and in your house. And in your car, now that I think of it. Did you know that? Cynthia Nixon and the NY Times said so. Nixon also had a lot to say about the 2018 Governor race in her debate with Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Well actually it's all racism, and hating the poor, and the solution is Socialism. A debate worth listening too just for the insults flying back and forth. But I won't leave out the raw numbers on the recent Siena poll of the NY-22 race between Anthony Brindisi and incumbent Congresswoman Claudia Tenney. A quick analysis of the numbers reveals a lot about this race, and potentially the outcome. But most of all, have a fun and safe Labor Day weekend.

We start with a recap of the week. The visit by Julie Killian, Lt. Gov. candidate. The press conference and town hall of Marc Molinaro. Plus the speech in Vestal on Red Flag legislation pending this fall. But er go beyond that to discuss how America is great, and how policies of Gov. Cuomo and others detract from that greatness. Your comments are welcome.

"That is the dumbest thing you can say as a politician. That’s like closing your speech with, ‘Apple pie sucks, I’m lukewarm on the troops and those stripes make the American flag look fat! Thank you, I hate my mother.’” — STEPHEN COLBERT

 

In our unofficial 100th episode (we are actually over that number of podcasts) we take questions from the public directly on the latest of the week. We discuss the first-hand experience of greeting President Trump in Utica and the feeling of the anti-Trump pro-Brindisi protest. From there we talk about Progressive Leaders of Tomorrow (PLOT) and thier far left actions plus how this ties into the explicit call for support of violence against beliefs that CNN's Chris Cuomo does not like. Of course this brings us to Gov. Andrew Cuomo (the brother of Chris) and his very public revelation that he thinks America, and all it's freedoms that have elevated his family, has never been great. It's a pretty intense podcast, perfect for the unofficial 100th episode. Listen in, share and comment please.

We had the opportunity to speak with single mother, student, business owner, and President of the Greater Binghamton chapter of New York State Women Inc - Heather L. Micha. She is also a Board member of the Broome County Republican Women's Club. We learned a bit about this highly successful and driven woman, and how she is working to help the community, and women throughout the State. Please Like and Share.

We discuss the honor of being selected for the White House Press Pool, and the experience of covering the President's arrival at Griffiss International Airport. We follow that up with the significantly different experience of covering the far left anti-Trump pro-Brindisi protest in Utica. Not to be left out we discuss the aftermath in Binghamton NY. Then we switch gears to look at the Omarosa accusation of the N-word being used, and how it is actually being used every day. But we finish with no other than the Cuomo's. CNN's Chris Cuomo justifying violence for ideas he likes, and Gov. Andrew Cuomo justifying his regime of punishing Conservatives and those he does not like by blaming America for not being in his image.

In our latest simulcast via Facebook Live, we delve into a bit about what is socialism, and how it affects us. How schools don't teach critical thinking and how that effects our politics in the future. And of course we cover the impact of Pres. Trump going to a fundraiser in Utica NY. Plus a lot more, directly from the public. Feel free to comment and share.

This past week was sadly an excellent example of the loss of freedom of speech in several fronts. The impact of all of this, from the local to national level, is subtle but powerful. It's a progression that needs to be stopped in its track, before the losses compound.

The theme of this episode circulates around the anxiety some have currently in the political environment encompassing the nation. From Parties making choices for voters they didn't ask for, to candidates smoke and mirrors, to the disociative news media vs reality, and ultimately the incongruity of the beliefs some hold as a result. We take the long way around, because the soundbite path is a disservice to us all. Let us know your comments, and share if you like the episode.

Our weekly conversation directly with the public via Facebook Live (when Facebook censors don't interupt) on the issues and topics affecting us all. This week it included the responses from all 3 Assemblymembers we spoke to about the Red Flag legislation they voted for - and how it can affect you and your family. We reviewed the recent poll on Gov. Cuomo - even though he is surrounded by corruption. Wed touched on politicians need to "do something" versus having a plan and doing the right thing - and how this applies to Pres. Trump. Plus a lot of other topics and issues. Feel free to add your comments.

In this podcast we cover the Far Left protest of the Fundraiser for Rep. Claudia Tenney and House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes. A 4+ hour event, that other media covered in 2 minutes or less, depriving the public of real details and facts. We present some of the interviews, attempts to silence the media, and attempts to intimidate police from the Far Left. In addition we provide an excerpt of some of what was in the Q & A by Rep. Nunes as well as subjects covered by Rep. Tenney. Because a sounndbite does a disservice to protestor and the supporters alike.

A robust discussion with the public on several issues local and national. We start with a surprising and generally rejected potential candidate for the Broome County Sheriff race. After covering what the potential impact a social justice warrior could have on the local community, we move on to a unique event. House Intelligence Chairman Rep. Nunes will be joining NY-22 Rep. Claudia Tenney in Binghamton on July 15th - but sources have indicated that the Far Left plans to import protestors to oppose the event. One part of the protestors rumored to appear is Antifa - and the consequence of this hate group is considered. We also cover the amazing flipflop and potential admission of manipulation in how HR 6361 has been offered to be voted on, but the Democrats that made the Bill to abolish ICE have now said they will reject their own Bill. You can't make this up. Plus a few more tidbits along the way on Anthony Brindisi and Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Listen and share.

With the breaking news of former Binghamton mayor Matt Ryan seeking a run for the Broome County Sheriff seat, there are serious questions that need to be asked. Does the Social Justice advocate seek to serve some of the people some of the time - if they have the right color/creed/sex/sexual preference - or is he just grandstanding for attention? Is this yet another example of the future of the Democrat Party that Tom Perez promised, or the end of the Party? Let us know your comments.
