No Soundbites Allowed

With New York State as the example for the nation, a series of gifts from Government to the people will arrive in 2019. We have been promised to expect tax increases, fewer Rights, higher unemployment, worse healthcare, and as a bonus we are expected to pay the politicians making this happen up to 4x the national average. Republicans and Conservatives would call it worse than a lump of coal, and Progressives a rough diamond, but what do you think?

Voted Democrat? Or Libertarian? Didn't vote at all? Doesn't matter. Don't own a firearm, or even if you hate them, you still can be punished by the law. Just because of your social media.

The ramifications start with invading your privacy, then it's worse than you imagine. You, and your mom could be charged with child pornography. You could be charged with underage drinking. You could be labeled a Nazi. Just a few things that could happen that we discuss in the Facebook Live simulcast.

But the Government would never abuse its power like that, you say. Corruption like that could never happen, not in New York State, you say. No conspiracy, just facts and logical consequences major media and politicians don't want you to think about. Feel free to comment.

On the eve of Thanksgiving, we are grateful for our fans and the Freedoms found in our Constitution. Which makes us very wary of new legislation proposed to usurp the 4th Amendment as a means to deny the 2nd Amendment.

In reflecting on the results of the 2018 mid-term elections, Republicans in many ways were like the adventurers of Goblin Slayer. It's a connection Anime fans will likely understand, but in this episode we try to explain it as we get back into the groove of things.

By the way, if you have trouble searching for this, its due to the suppression of Youtube and Google because of the name in the title: Goblin Slayer. Censorship is alive and well in 2018.

This podcast was originally made as a video podcast posted on Nov. 10, 2018, on Youtube. It was delayed in the audio format due to work on the 2018 mid-term election.

Nov 10, 2018 - Binghamton - I have been asked many times in the past week 'what is an absentee ballot', 'what is an affidavit vote?' Here is a rundown of what they are, in the NY-22 race, and how they will determine the winner of the mid-term election.

This episode was published Nov. 5 2018, as a video podcast on Youtube. The audio only version has been delayed due to work on the 2018 mid-term elections. We apologize for getting behind.

11/5/18 - Binghamton NY - It's a very different point of view, a spontaneous realization. The way that Disney has presented Star Wars (especially Episode is exactly the way pundits have presented the mid-terms. But they have no idea what they are talking about. Or do they?

This episode was originally produced as a video podcast and published on Youtube (link below) on November 4, 2018. Due to delays from the 2018 mid-term elections, it is now being published in audio format.

In this Facebook Live simulcast we discuss 2 big issues, the lawsuit by migrants in the caravan headed to the US claiming Rights reserved for US citizens. Also we discuss an item where the Broome County Board of Elections appears to be disenfranchising voters. You won't see this in major news media, but you should. Please comment and share.

This was initially published in video format on Youtube (link below) on October 25, 2018. Due to a heavy work schedule at the end of the election cycle, it was not rendered for podcast format until now. We apologize for the delay. 

After attending the NY-22 debate held at Colgate University with Spectrum News, having heard Anthony Brindisi speak at 4 town halls including on 10/23 in Binghamton, several glaring conflicts need to be addressed. This video addresses some of them.

There is a ton of ground to cover in this episode. From the breaking news about Nancy Pelosi facing the kind of treatment Maxine Waters has promoted, to the question if Elizabeth Warren should make a reparation for the benefits she received for claiming to be a Native Indian. How about the revelation that a candidate for Sheriff supports the domestic terrorist group Antifa - and has been hiding this fact from voters. Or the fact that a former Congressman, widely seen as a problem is about as much of a benefit as touting an NRA rating that was stripped away. Oh yes, there is a lot to discuss and ask in this episode.

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?

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?

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 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.

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.
