  • 55. The United States' Interest in Ending the War in Ukraine

    This episode focuses on the United States' interest in ending the war in Ukraine.  It highlights the danger of the war escalating due to a military action (intentional or not) against a NATO country, the invocation of Article 5 of the NATO treaty, and the resulting U.S. involvement in the war.  The episode discusses America's two points of leverage in forcing Ukraine to negotiate with Russia to end the war.

    My article from newsmax.com from March 29, 2022, is entitled Sanctions, Rhetoric, and Speeches Won't Bring Peach to Ukraine.

  • 50. A Critique of the House GOP's "Commitment to America"

    The "Commitment to America" is the plan by the Republican members of the House of Representatives for what they will do if they retake the majority in the upcoming midterm election.  I critique the plan, its rollout, and its use.  I also indicate what my Six Point Plan would have been:

    1. Decrease inflation.
    2. Lower gas prices.
    3. Reduce crime.
    4. Stop illegal immigration.
    5. Support parental involvement in education.
    6. Strengthen the military.
    7. REFERENCES

      The "Commitment to America" can be found here.

    8. 49. Education in America: An Interview with Angela Morabito

      This episode focuses on education in America.  First, it covers the governance of public schools, the functions of the Department of Education, and how the Department of Education reacted to Covid-19.  Second, it discusses the unspent funds that were appropriated to schools to fight Covid-19, the effect of schooling during Covid-19 on students' test scores, students' test scores in general (i.e., pre-Covid test scores compared to those in other nations), violence in America's schools, and school choice.

    9. 48. The Appointment of the Special Master

      This episode discusses the appointment of the Special Master to review the documents and materials seized during the execution of the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago.  It provides the background of the matter, the main points of the Judge's Order, and what I feel is the most important point of the Order.  It also contrasts the execution of the Search Warrant versus other actions which the Department of Justice and FBI could have taken.

      • 47. The Need for a Strong Republican Rebuttal to President Biden's Thursday Night Speech

        President Biden is set to deliver a primetime speech to the nation on Thursday, September 1, regarding "the continued battle for the soul of the nation."  It is imperative that the Republicans deliver a strong and specific rebuttal to this speech.  The broadcast networks should cover this rebuttal live but, if not, Republicans should stream it on the internet.

        In this episode, I predict what President Biden will say in his speech.  I also offer arguments which the Republican should use in their rebuttal.

        Lastly, I discuss the state of American politics and explain how the Democrats' rhetoric is causing division in the country.
