Common Sense

Once again, the continuing Saga of as the stomach turns continues, up in Washington DC, as the Democrats attempt, and I say again attempt, to impeach the president of the United States, for really no good reason.

The only evidence in this case is a transcript of a telephone call.

That is the only truth.


Every witness they have has nothing to say, except for hearsay second or third-hand from somebody they heard something from.

Another words to paraphrase AOC somebody somewhere said something to somebody who said something to somebody else who said something to this person.

SB HEARD IT FROM A FRIEND

And to be quite honest, I am like a majority of American citizens, are totally over this garbage in Congress.

How about you guys do your jobs, and pass some sort of immigration legislation, or something?

But I find the latest little bit of kind of funny, Nancy Pelosi challenged, didn't ask she really challenged, the president of the United States to come before the council, or committee to testify and give statement. She even offered him to write his answers to them.

To briefly touch on this; that would be the most absolute worst thing in the world for the president United States to do, seeing how they are pretty good Spin Doctors and they will spin his answers into the narrative that they want.

I am sure that his attorneys are saying don't do this.

You see in the sixth Amendment to the Constitution you have the right to face your accuser, so I would dare say when their accuser decides to show his face, come on Erik do it, then the President should be there to face his Accuser.

That's called part of due process, and there is no such thing in this inquiry going on.

And that's the big important fact your folks is this is an inquiry, not a trial or a hearing.

They are trying to have an impeachment inquiry, looking for a crime.

I always thought you were innocent until proven guilty. I guess you are, unless Congress wants to nail you up to the wall for something.

But enough of the three ring circus in Washington DC, let's go to a three ring circus a little bit closer to home.

I recently received an email, saying that the government knows best! That sewer systems are the best thing that we need to have to dispose of waste.

Once again the three ring circus in Volusia County is in full swing folks.

SB CIRCUS

And before you jump on that little bandwagon, going on to the three rings with the clowns are running the big top, you need to sit back and think this through with a little Common Sense before you go forward.

Once again, our government officials are talking poop.

Private septic systems, are the best way to dispose of waste from your home.

we have scientific proof of this, Jeff Brower, who has a degree in agricultural Sciences, has proven this on a couple of occasions.

And there have been many many studies done by companies like Patel, Environmental Protection Agency, and other organizations within our government to show that septic systems dispose of human waste, grey water or affluent, more efficiently then a sewer system

SB FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE

See the grey water waste of the average family, is a couple of hundred gallons a day. Here in Volusia County you spend that out over 1,500 square miles.

Nature does its thing, biologically breaks down the waste, and a low and behold the nitrogen and impurities are removed from the gray water and Wallah the water is purified.

Now you go to a city sewer system, and they take thousands and thousands of gallons into their system per day, they treated chemically, settling it, this tank, that tank, chlorine, on infinitum, and the gray water affluent is in dumped into a settling Pond...

Welcome to another exciting episode, of the continuing Saga, of as the stomach turns.

SB NADIA

In today's episode Adam Shifty shift, the pathological liar that is the chairman of the intelligence committee, who is in charge of the impeachment inquiry, read his 15-minute dissertation about how this is the best thing that the united states congress can do for our nation.

And then Mr. Devin Nunes gets up and says, what the hell are you talkin about?

Mr Nunez carried on for a good 30 minutes plus with his opening statement to the inquiry.

Part of the things that he pointed out was, this was a phone call. That's all they're there to talk about is the phone call. I'm pretty much the only evidence that they have is the transcript from the phone call.

Another thing he had to say was that The chairman knows who the whistle blower is.

Shiff adamantly denies this fact, even though he has stated that he did know who it was a few weeks ago, and he let it slip in a propaganda release.

What a liar.

SB FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE

Then mr. Kent, and mr. Taylor, two individuals that had third or fourth hand knowledge of the phone call, were the first two witnesses called by the chairman Adam Shiff for the impeachment inquiry.

The star witnesses for the Democrats.

And what did they have to say about the president, and his attempted coercion, quid pro quo, whatever you want to call it today.

Well they rambled on.

Mr. Kent, the senior State Department official in charge of Ukraine, spoke for about 10 minutes.

Then the former Ambassador mr. Taylor however spoke for quite a long time, boring the audience on television to Absolute death, to the point where I said I think I have to go polish my boots.

And I'm glad I did polish my boots, and put a high gloss shine on them reminiscent of my military days, because the BS was getting awfully thick coming out of the speakers on my surround sound system in the old iron bunker here.

The one thing that you could take away from this whole episode today, was they have no idea about what's going on, nor any new bombshell information about the now infamous phone call from the President of the United States to the President of the Ukraine. And these two star witnesses had nothing but third hand knowledge.


The Democratic legislators spoke on several occasions, about Hunter Biden, and Joe Biden, during mr. Biden vice presidency. And whether or not there was a conflict of interest in relationship to Hunter Biden sitting on Burismo’s board.

And of course all the Democrats agreed no there was no conflict of interest, no there was no quid pro quo Joe statements, even though they stated that he was on video camera about holding 1.6 billion dollars away from the Ukraine unless they got rid of a certain prosecutor.

Now I may not be an attorney, but in my experience as an adult I find that when people brag like mr. Biden did, there's only two reasons for him to do

And I hope you are listening to me on this statement, because the only reason why you would brag would because you're very proud of what you did, or you're lying about it.

So if mr. Biden is bragging because he did this he's in violation of several International laws and United States statutes, felony bribery, coercion etc etc.

If he did not do it then he's just bragging about it, then he is a liar. Which brings to the question what else has he lied about.

Is that what the Democratic party really wants on their ticket, a liar?

I'm sure we will have many more months to talk about mr. Biden, and the perception of wrongdoing ai the Ukraine.

For you see, in politics perception is reality!

So on and on the testimony goes today, he said this and I heard this from...

A very personal podcast for me.
Not the usual sound bites in this one, it is a very somber podcast
I welcome home all of my Brothers and Sisters from their combat tours, and I thank you for your service to us, the United States citizens.
I relate my experience a little but tell the story of a Veteran that was not thanked for 50 years.

Greetings, today's date is November 4th 2019.

And this past weekend has been quite the world wind, with all the Talking Heads speaking of impeach, impeach, impeach.

The Congress leadership, Democrats, are releasing the transcripts of the 12 or 13 people they've interviewed, but we do not know when that will happen, and they are constantly leaking information about these interviews down in the cellar of the Congress, behind closed doors, under sworn secrecy.

According to the new rules that were enacted on Halloween, the House of Representatives will now allow the Republican side of the house to call witnesses and ask question. But only if the chairman of the Intel committee agrees with those Witnesses, and the line of questioning being asked.

That's making this a formal inquiry into the president of the United States, but still stacking the deck against him.

You know one of the things that's kind of interesting about doing a podcast?

I listen to some of the newscasters as they do their reports, and lo and behold they use a lot of the same terminology that I use.

For example, the House of Representatives is like a circus, and the clowns are running the Big Top.

Or these Democrats in Republican strong districts are committing political kamikaze.

I use some of these unique phrases just to see who's actually listening to podcasts, and I appreciate them listening. Or maybe their staff is listening and just relaying the information to them.

So now comes the issues that we started this podcast about, impeachment of the president of the United States.

After looking over article 1 section 2 of the United States Constitution, something that a lot of people should actually do is read that ticular document to know what's really going on, the House of Representatives shall choose their speaker and other officers, and shall have the sole power of impeachment.

At this time, I now need to interject a little bit of information.

Nowhere in the constitution does it say a simple majority is needed to pass articles of impeachment.

One would think, that would such a situation have a great momentous proportions, the House of Representatives would State they needed a two-thirds vote to pass articles of impeachment.

Now then, it goes to the Senate. The Senate could have a vote as to whether they even accept the articles of impeachment.

Then the trial would begin for the president, vice president excetera, excetera, excetera.

That would be done on a simple majority vote also.

Senator McCallum said that the articles of impeachment that would be passed to the Senate from the house at this point, is Dead on Arrival.

It is stated in the Constitution that the Senate needs to have a 2/3, or supermajority vote, to convict.

the Democrats do not have the votes to convict a sitting president.

Such a process. What really needs to happen at this time in the history of this great nation, is clarification on high crimes and misdemeanors.

What is considered a high crime, or a misdemeanor, when it comes to the impeachment of a sitting president?

Granted treason, and bribery are high crimes.

Wrongful appropriation of government funds would also be a high crime.

Using their office to further their career is a high crime.

But talking with a fellow president from a foreign nation, and asking them to look into corruption from a previous election that was interfered with, well that is the job of the president.

Barack Obama should have done this. He did not, so that would be dereliction of Duty which could be considered a misdemeanor.

I have been asked by a couple of people, why is the Constitution so vague on this process?

Well if you look back on the...

Well over the past several months, mr. Barr attorney general, has been investigating the collusion, and Russian interference into our 2016 election.

Today's date is oct 25 2019

Another exciting episode of as the stomach turns

And as of last night just shortly before 9 p.m., the Department of Justice has declared that this investigation has turned into a criminal investigation.

Quite the bombshell, breaking news for all of the talking heads on TV last night, and well the big question is what does this mean.

Well having been in law enforcement for six years or so, military police, I know how this transpires and I know the process.

Whenever there is a crime, there must be an investigation. That is the starting point for all criminal actions.

During this investigation, you interview Witnesses, you revisit crime scenes, you collect data from outside sources that may be involved, in other words you do your due diligence to collect evidence and you follow where the evidence leads you.

This is truly the only way you will get to the truth of what happened.

Sb truth

I'm sure most of you have watched some sort of police drama in the evening, and you watch them as they collect evidence from this person and that person, they go back to crime scenes and re-evaluate evidence, they go to the coroner's office and look at the results of all the testing, they do their due diligence.

This is the investigative process.

And if you do not do a thorough investigation into any matter whatsoever, the wrong person can be accused.

In the investigations that I was involved to in the military, a lot of times the first person accused was not the perpetrator.

The evidence may have pointed to Joe about an assault issue, but when we looked into the crime itself it was Bill that did the assault. Joe may just have been at a wrong place at the wrong time and he ends up generally being the witness to the crime.

Sd rumble

So that is what mr. Bar in mr. Durham have been doing for the past several months. They've been investigating the crime of collusion, an interference into the 2016

They've gone to Italy they've gone to the Ukraine they've gone to Russia they've gone to England, as well as investigated here in the United States.

Now part of the process is once you've collected this data, you sit down and evaluate what you have. You follow where the evidence leads you, and it will generally point to the individual, or individuals, that have broken the law.

It is only after you've done your investigation, and re-evaluation of evidence obtained, that then the attorney general, or in a local instance, the state attorney, can then begin to file charges.

And lower-level crimes, such as assault and battery, fraud, or other such felonies, the state attorney can just file charges and have that individual arrested, and held for a hearing for a judge to say whether or not you get a bond, released on your own recognizance, or if you are held without bond.

When it comes to the issue of high crimes, such as treason, murder things of that nature, then the state attorney, or in this case the Attorney General, will have to convene what is called a grand jury.

A grand jury is a group of citizens who are called in by the attorney general, or state attorney, and they sit and they only listen to the evidence presented.

In this particular instance with the attorney general, it would be documentation, data from a hard drive server, telephone calls, text messages, letters back and forth between individuals, and witnesses can be called.

It is the job at this point of the Attorney General to have an indictment approved for the arrest and prosecution of the individual or individuals involved in this situation.

There...

A few days ago I received a phone call from a concerned citizen, and he wanted me to explain to him how would be the best way for him and his group to proceed was trying to get something before a city and or County Council.

I don't think he was very happy with my answer.

I was always told my mama never tell a lie. Because then you have to tell a lie to cover up the first lie, then another lie to cover up a second line excetera excetera excetera, and then before you know it you don't remember what the truth was.

Now this fine young lad called me and asked me this because, I was a Volusia County chair, and I was privy to all of the situations that were happening in our County, and I knew how to get things in front of the council.

Now when I sat on the County Council, I sat with what is considered very weird to have. An opened mind.

I would review all the facts of these cases shall we say, do the boots on the ground investigation, shake hands with people talk to both sides of the issue, and I would start to formulate my opinions

Of course this is what you would think any good County councilmember would do, you're right, a good one would do this. But alas, not a lot of them did this.

I suppose that is one reason why I put over 40,000 miles on my car every year for the four years I was in office.

At any rate, when the issue came before the County Council I would sit there on the diets, I would listen to both sides of the issue, again, and I would then call for a vote.

When I went into the council meeting that morning, I had a idea as to how I was going to vote on a particular issue.

For you see I've done the research, talk to people, I've looked at the situation physically oh, I did my job as you elected me to do.

Sometimes while I was sitting on the diocese listening to these issues, one of the speakers would bring up a point, or a fact, that I didn't know because it wasn't brought to my attention when I was boots on the ground walking around whatever piece of property, or looking at a building, or observing what was going on in that issue, during my initial investigations.

And it generally was not anything like a statement made like it's for the children, or it's for the manatees are turtles or anything like that.

In other words, to change my mind on the byas oh, you had to be a lot more than just arbitrary.
I think I'm getting a little ahead of myself here, so let me digress and explain to you the process once again of how government addresses your issues

What does pick an issue if we can, and let's make it a big one, water clarity.

That was you may have known, and have heard from my previous podcast, I've done extensive research and investigation into the clarity of the water over intercoastal waterways.

I know for fact, that septic tanks are the best sewage treatment system available to us. Just sheer volume of affluent, City and County Wastewater treatment plants are bad.

And as you may have heard, read, listen to commentary about it, everybody in government, or who support government, want everybody on a huge water treatment plant of some sort.

So there is a group of citizens, taxpaying citizens no less, that want to retain their personal septic systems.

Now then these folks have done research, had speakers, had scientific data presented to them in a meeting and it came out with the known results. Personally owned septic systems do not, and I say again do not, add to the influx of nitrogen and solids into our waterways.

This fact has been backed up by scientific data. Unbiased scientific data.

Also these individuals have had independent studies done on their septic systems, to check for nitrogen infiltration into the ground, and groundwater systems, and found that they are Solo that you...

Well welcome to another exciting episode of the continuing Saga of as the stomach turns

In today's episode well there's not really, anything new.

Just like a soap opera, daytime drama, the story moves ever so slowly. You can miss a week of shows, and the characters are right where they were when you stopped watch, a week ago.

So here is the Washington DC soap opera.

The Democrats are still pursuing the impeachment of Donald J Trump president of the United States, no matter how misguided their efforts are.

SB THERE YOU GO AGAIN

The GOP is demanding, shall we say, that the Democratic Party make these depositions open to the public, let's put a little sunshine law on it if we may!

The president and the GOP are demanding that the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi in name only, hold a vote to authorize the investigation into an impeachment of the president.

This would allow actual rules to be followed to be set. All political parties will be present at interviews, and opposing council will be able to call in witnesses.

Sounds a lot like the rules of jurist prudence, don’t you think?

Maybe like innocent till proven guilty?

Can you say a real travesty of justice.


SB TRUTH

In my personal opinion, she will not do this due to the fact that number one, she does not have the 218 votes necessary to go forward with the investigation.

And number two, because it will bring sunshine on the investigation and everybody will find out that there is nothing there!

Leaky Adam Schiff, has been leaking little tidbits of this information obtained in these closed-door depositions, but only the items he wishes to let loose to push forward his agenda.

Let me just say this, Mr. Schiff leaks more than a coffee filter, when it comes to agenda fulfilling information to the media.

And due to the rules of Congress, if you leaked items off of a deposition in a closed-door meeting or interview, that's a felony, and you can go to jail. For a substantial amount of time, and pay a very healthy fine

SB MAKE MY DAY

And then there's the issue of The Whistleblower, who we still do not know who that is, who is now afraid of death threats being made against him?

A question I have, and many have on the internet social media, how can he be getting death threats if nobody knows who this guy is?

Once again another leaked untruth from Leeky Shiff the coffee filter we will call him.

In Congress, there are so many questions, and so little common sense being utilized in this ridiculous, mundane, excessive search for a crime to impeach the president of the United States.

In a court of law, like this is supposed to be, this is called a fishing expedition, and is inadmissible in court.

I guess they haven't learned the first three or four times, there is nothing they can find because there is nothing there.

Believe me, if there was really a crime committed, the Democrats in Congress would be all over it like Homer Simpson on a ham sandwich, and we would have had a vote on articles of impeachment already.

This is nothing more than just a way to keep your face in the camera, and your name in the news. These are narcissistic individuals who still cannot accept the fact that an outsider, a non-politician, an actual American citizen, won the election of 2016.

How sad.

Life goes on in DC though, and they will continue their attack on a duly elected president, just because they cannot control him like they've been controlling presidents for the past hundred plus years.

SB BABY CRYING

It is kind of funny that the past presidents have all said we need to reign in the illegal alien problems on our southern border, and so have all of the Democrats in...

With the National Politics on the scene, all the time, it's getting a little crazy to talk about local politics.
But I'm looking at it now and saying it's time once again, to focus on Volusia County Florida.
So let us start with the subject everybody really talks about when they talk politics, lowering taxes.

SB TRUTH

Now when I was running for office, and in office, my premise was to lower taxes every chance I got. But I haven't seen that much of the latest rounds of attempted taxation here on the citizens of Volusia County.

If at anytime anybody ever brought up a request for a half cent sales tax issue, I immediately said I'm not interested in that issue.
I can just see the sales of pitchforks and torches going up as some anyone even thought about bringing up the subject of the half-cent sales-tax.

Yet, At the beginning of this year we went through a round of a, special vote to raise our sales tax a half penny, where in the words of the county chair Mister Ed Kelly, the information is right here as he waved his piece of paper around.

But to be honest, I do not think there was any information on that piece of paper that would have swayed the vote one way or the other.

The citizens do not want it, they don't trust the government with spending the money appropriately, and it would be a failing issue.

Once again I was right.

The vote failed, and we did not raise the sales tax.

SB FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE

While I was in office, I was absolutely against a property tax increase

The real facts of the matter are this, we pay the second highest millage rate in taxes in the state. Fact.
And by the way the county officials, bureaucrats, will argue that point to the ends of time. But they are wrong.

SB SURELY YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS

After a year-and-a-half of constant fighting and fighting and fighting, I was finally able to reduce the millage rate on Volusia County Properties.

I even was able to speak with some of the other taxing authorities in Volusia County, like the three Hospital authorities, and was able to get one of them to reduce some of their millage rate, although I really think they were going to do it anyways. I'll take the win.

To be quite honest, and this is coming from a past politician, the best person to spend your money is you.

A prime example is our school board in Volusia County, 995 million dollars in the budget.
That equates to roughly, $15,500 annually spent per child in Volusia County for their education.

That means they're 63000 students in Volusia County just a foot note.

If we're spending $15,500 per student per school year, we should be cranking out some Geniuses would you not think?

But some of our schools are failing, they're getting F's, and D's, on their annual report cards from the state. It's a very sad situation indeed.

Of course that $15,500 per student goes to pay for the schools, school buses, teachers, principals, Vice principals, school nurse, excetera, excetera, excetera, excetera on infinitum ad nausea.

But that does not negate the fact, that the school board of Volusia County has almost 1 billion dollars to spend for the education of our children. Apparently they're not spending the money wisely!

SB BE AFRAID

So this is part of the taxation thing that's going on all around this County.

Pay taxes on the properties, pay taxes on our tags for cars, the sales taxes when we buy something, they tax your water, they tax everything except for the air you breathe, and if they could find a way to do that we would be paying a tax for that.

Plus in the very near future, our County taxes are going to go pay for the homeless shelter debacle. This Grand Hotel they're building out there across the street from the...

So here we go again with another episode of truthification.
{SB HERE YOU GO AGAIN}
So now we got this crazy stuff going on that President Trump is now asking China to dig up dirt on his opponent.
I have only one question to ask, what opponent are you talking about?
Nobody has one through the primary on the Democratic side, so therefore Mr. Trump has no opponent in the presidential election, as of yet.
And now for the truthification, and you do recall what that was right?
Truthification is the issuing of a false statement or lie, marketing it to Media outlets, and doing so much so often that in fact you are trying to make it a truth.
So in other words, President Trump was on the south lawn getting ready to go into Marine one, and he made comment that he thinks that China should do an investigation into Hunter Biden, and his dirty Financial dealings in China, It was some sort of investment company, again he is involved with a company, doing business in a field that he had no expertise on.
That seems like a logical statement to me.
{SB FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE}
Let's just look at the facts here if we May.
Hunter Biden flies over to China with his father on Air Force two.
Hunter Biden negotiates a contract with a Chinese Financial organization. Whatever he does for them is kind of Grey nobody really has the answer, but I have heard that it's about Investments and contracts in the United States.
Hunter Biden meets back up with his father the vice president of the United States, to get back on Air Force 2 and comes to America with a 1.6 billion dollar contract.
I ask you one question, what company would offer 1.6 billion dollars, to some guy that has no idea what he's talking about or have any actual experience in making great financial deals? Or did this company and their Executives make this deal with Hunter Biden just because his father was the vice president?
Two, very good questions.
And that's on the China issue, on the Ukraine issue, Vice President Joe Biden withheld 1.6 billion dollars from the Ukraine government for Aid if they didn't fire a prosecutor.
That's a fact.
He bragged about it, It is not the job of the vice president of the United States to get rid of prosecutors.
If you were to withhold money or sevices promised to someone, until the did something you demanded, well SON OF A _________, you would be charged with extortion.
A felony.
{SB STUPID}
The part that really doesn't look good is this prosecutor was investigating corrupt businesses and corporations in the Ukraine, to whitch Hunter Biden sat on the board of one making 50 or $60,000 a month.
In government perception is reality.
The perception of this to me, and many other Americans, is that billions of dollars was given to Hunter Biden, by companies in the Ukraine, and in China.
Billions given to a man, whose only real skill set, and experience is going in and out of rehab centers.
The reality of it is that they gave it to him, for Hunter to influence his father in international matters.
This is basically buying the vice president of the United States, Joe Biden.
That is the perception, and so it must be the reality.
Here's another reality.
That Joe Biden could not win an election against Donald Trump.
{SB TRUTH}
This corruption issue will come up, on every stump speech, in every debate, on the news at six pm, in everyone’s daily conversations.
That, and his past actions of hair sniffing and inappropriate touching.
Also the fact that he has been in congress, and the senate for what forty years, and has really accomplished nothing.
The DNC, and Democrats at large, know all of this as a fact.
The DNC also knows that the American citizens, yes the legal VOTERS, are tired of the constant rhetoric of impeachment.
We are tired of a do nothing party, a party of failures,...
