No Soundbites Allowed

February 9, 2019 - There is perhaps nothing more frustrating that actually reading a proposed legislation and realizing no one involved asked a simple question. IF you can't use fossil fuels to run a cargo ship, and solar/wind/geothermal won't work, how do you trade with the world? How is climate change responsible for women being paid less than men? How can joining a Union reduce greenhouse gas? Why won't the Government track the number of kids removed from families as a result of Red Flag laws? Just a lot of questions, no other media will ask and no politician will volunteer - thus our rant shared with the public via Facebook Live.

Our Saturday Facebook Live Simulcast kicks off with serious questions. Is New York a viable State to live in? Can non-Progressives enjoy being here? Have any of the laws passed in January 2019 been a boon to the residents and citizens? We speak directly with the public to find out. Plus we put out a poll asking women in NY, do you feel safer now than before 2019.

Binghamton NY, Jan. 12, 2019 - An exciting and emotional simulcast via Facebook Live. We address the active lies of Sen. Dianne Feinstein as she seeks to prevent the public from exercising the 2nd Amendment. Then there is the lie of Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, barely 60 days after her promise to serve a full term. Add in the actions of NY State, and the rush to enter the 2020 election, and it was quite the program with the public.

In the 3rd week of a Government shutdown over 0.01% of Federal spending, which has cost as much as the disputed amount, we look at the battle of principles that will cost more no matter who wins. Ffrom there we investigate the priorities of Congress and New York State - and if they will help or hurt constituents. Finally we delve into prediction mode to understand the seeds of an election campaign. All of it live to a Facebook audience.

In a Live conversation with the public via Facebook, we touch on a few of the issues that have molded 2018 - and potentially the politics of 2019. But the lumps of one opinion my be diamonds to another. But what do you think.

Via a Facebook Live simulcast, we start by saying goodbye to our 41st President George Bush. We then address the attempt to protect the public and how that is done politically. We question the compulsion of thought in denying free speech and artistic expression. We consider the value of endangering the lives of women, just to promote a political agenda. All with the public live.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

For this Facebook Live simulcast we addressed the consequences of a second civil war in America. Going beyond no only what has led to this potential action. Delving into the ramifications of what may happen if such a civil war occured, the international impact. Its a serious conversation on a somber subject.

In another simulcast via Facebook Live, we again seemed to have help keep Facebook censors employed. With Felicia Mitchell in our studio, we spoke to the public on Facebook about the Supreme Court, the Red Hen restaurant, illegal alien child separation at the border, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Affirmative Action, the potential of a civil war in the future and poll on millenials preferring Socialism and Communism. We covered a lot of ground.

We spoke live with public on Facebook and discussed the Red Flag Bills being proposed in New York State by Governor Cuomo. What are they? What is the promise from politicians? What is the reality in law? How badly will Rights and freedoms be curtailed for the illusion of safety? What can the public do about it? We address all of it in this episode. Please share this - and most of all contact your State Senator and ask them to vote NO.

In this episode we do our 4th FacebookLive simulcast Q & A. We got questions on North Korea and the return of prisoners. We were asked about the NY-22 race and the candidates - the impact of President Trump and what the candidates are saying or not. We discussed censorship and the NY-122 Assembly race. Your questions answered, live and direct.

On May 19, 2018 we went on Facebook Live to speak with our audience and the public, addressing your questions on the issues that matter to you. Talking about the Santa Fe school shooting and how to fix school shootings. We talked about the changes to the character of Lando Calrissian by Disney. Plus a bit of a recap of the SUNY Broome Homeless Awareness Sleepout that I was the featured speaker. A lot of real world real people interaction on issues that can't be resolved in a meme or 30 second soundbites. It was a great discussion.

We cover a ton of issues in this simulcast via Facebook Live. As the title notes, your questions are answered and we discuss the topics of the day in more detail than just 30 second soundbites. Like how effective is Peace through Strength? What is the Logan Act and does it apply to John Kerry? Why are people still using heroin? What can we learn from the school shooting in Palmdale CA? Plus the 9th Annual SUNY Broome Homeless Awareness Sleepout on May 18th. And so much more. Listen and share. End song - On the Radio - by Adam Ate the Apple, Album - No Flying Cars, track 4.

Addressing questions on Kanye West, President Trump, North Korea, Unemployment, Legalizing marijuana, and other issues from real people in real time. We will do it again next week so get your questions ready.
