Podcast 103



Nancy Pelosi called for an impeachment vote in the House of Representatives. This vote was to determine if an official impeachment inquiry would happen. The vote passed on partisan lines, and now we find ourselves diving into the investigation of President Donald J. Trump. Alexander Hamilton warned of partisanship over principle. Podcast 103 pontificates the House of Representatives’ impeachment vote, and why framers like Alexander Hamilton feared this partisan division.







The Impeachment Vote and the Founders



Welcome to Podcast 103 of Front Porch Politics. Let us begin by discussing the impeachment vote from Thursday. The House vote to establish procedures for possible impeachment of President Trump ended with two Democrats opposing and no Republicans favoring. This vote was exactly was Alexander Hamilton feared in discussing the impeachment provisions laid out in the Constitution.







Alexander Hamilton warned of what he called the “greatest danger” in a decision to move forward with impeachment. He stated the danger was to “be regulated more by the comparative strength of parties than the real demonstrations of innocence or guilt.” We have arrived at what our founders’ feared. Sharp division in our country.



Hamilton feared impeachment would be used by “most cunning or most numerous factions” in our government. This is where we find ourselves today with politicians in Washington. Two groups not unified but greatly divided. Politics is more important that “We the People.” Nothing is getting done in our nation’s capital while this takes place. Yet, we still have an impeachment vote in the house.



Hamilton’s Thoughts on Impeachment



Alexander Hamilton insisted that the process for impeachment and removal must remain neutral and nonpartisan among members of Congress. So where do we arrive at impeachable offensives? That is, in fact, a good question. This is a House of Representatives’ decision. Let me give you an example.







The House of Representatives, led by Democrats, could consider anything to fit this category. If they want to impeach Trump for eating a hamburger on Taco Tuesday, they can do it. Does this constitute impeachment and removal of office? By all means no it does not. Now we see what Hamilton feared. Not a crime, but a partisan political witch hunt.

Podcast 102



America is divided right now. There is no doubt about this. We have not seen this much divide in our country since the pre-Civil War. The difference in what is taking place now and what has taken place in the past is the ideology of the politics in Washington D.C. Republicans in Washington feel that they are fighting against a closed-door coup. While Democrats are showing signs of mental and moral breakdown with impeachment. Podcast 102 will look at why the Washington Democrats hate conservatives so much, and why they will stop at nothing to end conservatism in our country.







Who Democrats in Washington Hate



Let me begin by laying the groundwork. Imagine that you believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. You believe in low taxes. People should be self-sufficient and rely on themselves for support. You own guns, like gas-powered cars, and eating hamburgers. Standing for the national anthem is a sense of pride for you. July 4th is about independence, not oppression. This is what today the media, and Washington liberals consider a dangerous person.







Did I mention if you are a white man the danger gets even higher? The typical conservative wants everyone to enjoy freedom. Family, faith, and freedom are the cornerstone of what you live for each day. You believe that there was a manifest destiny for the creation of our country. And yes, no one is above the law. Hard work and not government handouts are how you get ahead in life. And if someone were to push you, you would fight back.



Democrats in Washington Hate Conservatives



If you found yourself in the category that I have just mentioned I want to let you in on a little secret. Democrats in Washington hate conservatives. You are the deplorables. The smelly Wal-Mart shoppers. And just to be clear, you are my kind of person. Although I believe in living life with class, there is also a side of me that will go Augustus McCrae on you. If you do not know who that is, educate yourself and watch Lonesome Dove. My front porch family members are who the Democrats despise the most.

Podcast 101



Last Saturday Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez came out to publically endorse Democrat Socialist Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. This comes as no surprise to anyone who may be up-to-date on current political trends. Ocasio-Cortez could simply be trying to be a promoter of another socialist. Podcast 101 is going to discuss why Socialist AOC supports Bernie Sanders for Democrat Nomination in 2020.







On stage at a rally in Queens on Saturday Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez expounded on her decision to endorse Sen. Bernie Sanders in the presidential primary. Perhaps as important as her endorsement was the motivation behind it. Both politicians are proud socialist. Ocasio-Cortez brings youth to the Bernie camp. If Sanders can somehow stay alive and win the nomination, Ocasio-Cortez stands to gain ground politically.



Lies that Ocasio-Cortez Spreads about Bernie



Many know that AOC has bee adamant about her costly and destructive plan the Green New Deal. This has been a topic of discussion on the podcast before. This $92 trillion plan to overhaul America would be a disaster. One theory I would like to present is why AOC would jump on the Bernie bandwagon.



Ocasio-Cortez portrayed Sanders as the only trustworthy candidate in a field of sellouts and shills. This is all about trying to find uniting the party. So let us first let you in on the true beliefs of Bernie Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez. Let’s begin by looking at their stand on her “religion” the Green New Deal.



The Green New Deal and Bernie Sanders



Bernie Sanders has come out in full support of the Green New Deal. Here is where you can quickly find hypocrisy in the Democrat candidate. In this podcast, you will quickly see how common sense will tell you that Sanders is not trustworthy. Socialist AOC supports Bernie because they are similar. Here is the best example I can give you.







The Green New Deal demands air travel all but made extinct. To “save the earth” fossil fuel travel has to be eradicated. The demands for no air travel may seem very unpractical. Because it is impractical. Our economic system would come to a grinding halt if air travel were banned.



All while they would love to shut down fossil fuels, Sanders has driven up large private jet travel costs. Bernie Sanders spent over $400,000 on private air travel just last month. This is according to campaign finance reporting. To give you a little science. A private jet traveling from New York to London will produce as much carbon in one flight as your car for the whole year. Can you say hypocrisy?



Socialist AOC supports Bernie Sanders to Grow Socialism



Ocasio-Cortez is not concerned with Bernie’s hypocrisy. The truth is she is not concerned with the climate. It is all a scam to do one thing. Drive America towards a Socialist state.

Podcast 100



The Democrat Party held their first debate for the month of October. This debate shared the ideas of the top tier candidates for the new Democrat Socialist Party. Socialism has taken root in the Democrat party and has now begun its power grab. Ideas like “Medicare for All” and tax the rich are battle cries and will tax the middle class. Podcast 100 is going to discuss why Socialism has invaded the Democrat party and how this will destroy America.







Key Points From the October Debate



For the first time this year, Elizabeth Warren was frequently called out and criticized by her rivals. Warren has taken the first place spot from former front runner Joe Biden. Biden called out Warren for her health care plan. He stated, that her plans were “vague.” For the most part, he is right



Warren refused to discuss her plan to raise taxes. Constantly we were told that people’s costs would go down. First, we all know this is not true. While you may not pay for health insurance, you will pay in taxes. Tax rates would have to drastically increase on the working people of this country.



Common Sense Approach to Medicare for All



Let us just take a common-sense approach to this problem. The 400 richest Americans’ net worth was $2.7 trillion in 2018. Just so you know there are 585 billionaires in America. If our government were to take every cent that the billionaires have it would be no more than $3 trillion. Now let’s apply the math we discussed in podcast 100.







The Urban Institute, a center-left think tank highly respected among Democrats, is projecting that a plan similar to what Warren and Senator Bernie Sanders are pushing would require $34 trillion in additional federal spending over its first decade in operation.



Keep in mind that billionaires are already paying taxes. So we can remove what they pay into the system out because the government is taking it all in our equation. That being said our one time wealth grab will not cover the first year of cost. Is this not the idea we heard from Warren and Sanders in the October Democrat debate? So then who does the burden of the cost fall to?



Medicare for All: Tax Millionaires



The next step to achieve the $3.4 trillion dollars a year cost will go to millionaires. America has roughly 14 million millionaires. This includes those in congress. The average net worth of a congress member is $1.4 million. All combined totals would be roughly $20 trillion. So by adding all millionaires and billionaires net wealth together, we have roughly gathered no more than $25 trillion.







The taxes collected from these two groups are depleted.

Podcast 99



There is a great deal of political chatter in America right now. We have heard impeachment constantly. We all know about Hunter Biden. CNN hates Trump. ABC uses video footage from Kentucky and said that it was Syria. Many news items are thrown at us daily. That is why I wanted to present a different podcast to you. Podcast 99 will cover something personal. Let’s take some time to talk about you and your money. Join the Front Porch to discuss how you can grow your wealth in the Trump economy of today.







Growing your wealth in the Trump Economy



Like him or not Donald Trump has been good for your wallet. Jobs are at historic rates. Unemployment is also at 3.5%. If you want to work in America today it is pretty easy. Finding a job is not a problem. I also want to take a moment to present some facts to you. The current inflation rate (2018 to 2019) is now 1.71%. The reason this is important is that the income growth rates from the same period is 3.2%. In other words, incomes are rising faster than inflation. 







You would not get those type numbers in a socialist economy. This economy is primed for you to gain wealth. Since President Trump’s inauguration, the Dow Jones has increased by 35%. The economy is strong despite what the media is telling you. Media pundits may say recession. True it could happen. Anything can happen for that matter.  



Given the facts I have presented in Podcast 99, let us now look at you. Are you in better financial shape than in 2016? If not, why? Was it because of our economy or you? If you find that you are still struggling to gain wealth you found the right podcast. Let us get started at the basics.



Growing your wealth: Your expenses



First, if you are spending more than you make, stop. Any financial planner worth their salt will tell you that you cannot spend your way out of debt. My recommendations are to join the Front Porch Finances class by using the code 88n3vj. You can also find a link here. This interactive class will give you access to the resources you will need.







Secondly, start the first assignment. Budgeting is one of our biggest problems as Americans. Our government can not do this. You can take the budget in our class and get back on track. Let me give you this disclaimer first. If you lie to yourself about your expenses it does you no good. Be honest with yourself.  



Growing Your Wealth: Front Porch Finances Budget



Now that you have secured your seat by joining the Front Porch class you are ready to rock and roll. Not literally. You are hopefully listening to the podcast, so music can wait. Let us begin by developing your budget. You will want to put in your salary, and Wham-O it calculates your taxes for you. Parents, make your high school students do this also.  







Each household expenditure is broken down by category. Enter your yearly expense.

Podcast 98



The American culture is changing with newer generations. Research conducted by Gallup has discovered that 51% of millennials prefer socialism. With an older generation getting ready to pass the torch why are millennials in love with Socialism? Front Porch Politics will discuss the history of Socialism. Podcast 98 will discuss the Millenial love for Socialism, and why the history of Socialism may save our country from Socialist Democrats.







America’s Millennial Love of Socialism



Americans today are more closely divided than they were earlier in the last century. Current American citizens were asked whether some form of socialism would be a good or bad thing for the country. While 51% of U.S. adults say socialism would be a bad thing for the country, 43% believe it would be a good thing. Those results contrast with a 1942 Roper/Fortune survey that found 40% describing socialism as a bad thing, 25% a good thing and 34% not having an opinion.



The History of Socialism



The history of socialism has its origins in the 1789 French Revolution. Socialism came from the changes which it brought, although it has precedents in earlier movements and ideas. The Communist Manifesto was written by Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels in 1848. This was written just before the Revolutions of 1848 swept Europe. In the last third of the 19th century, social democratic parties arose in Europe, drawing mainly from Marxism. The Australian Labor Party was the world’s first elected socialist party when it formed government in 1899.







The Soviet Union and the communist parties around the world mainly came to represent socialism in terms of the Soviet model of economic development and the creation of centrally planned economies. Socialism was a state that owns all the means of production. People argued that capitalism had been abolished. Socialist governments established a mixed economy with partial nationalizations and social welfare.



History of Socialism in America



In the Presidential election of 1912, Eugene V. Debs received 5.99% of the popular vote . while his total of 913,693 votes in the 1920 campaign, although smaller percentage-wise, remains the all-time high for a Socialist Party candidate in the United States. The election of 2020 stands to prove if this number will be broken. Millennials’ love of Socialism has rebirthed itself.







In the United States, the Communist Party USA was formed in 1919 from former members of the Socialist Party of America. One of the founders, James Cannon, later became the leader of Trotskyist forces outside the Soviet Union. During the Great Depression America saw a rise in socialism on a national scale. The socialism that was birthed in American did not resemble the socialism of today’s millennials.

Podcast 97



Impeachment has been thrown around in America for the last three years. Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives have demanded the impeachment of President Trump virtually since he was inaugurated into office. The results of the 2016 election have bugged them since the American people passed the torch from a more socialist worldview president. The thoughts of losing power have eclipsed their common sense. Podcast 97 discusses impeachment and how this has caused a bigger divide into our country which is leading to a Cold Civil War in America.







What Exactly is Impeachment?



If you were to ask the average America citizen most could not tell you what impeachment is. Most of those in the Gen Z crowd think that it will automatically remove President Trump from office. Some would even think it may put Hillary Clinton in the White House. As students of history, my front porch family knows this is not true. Front Porch Politics always wants to pontificate. I do my best to show off my pedagogical skills. So what is impeachment?



Impeachment is the process by which a legislative body levels charges against a government official. Contrary to many beliefs, impeachment does not remove the official from office. Impeachment is the equivalent to an indictment in criminal law. It is only the statement of charges against the official. The glorious revolution Socialist Democrats in our country envision will not be solved simply by impeachment.



After Impeachment has Taken Place



Democrats have struggled to find a reason to actually impeach the president. For example, Al Green of Texas has asked for impeachment several times on the House floor. All which have failed. Today we find ourselves again hearing the battle cry of impeachment as Democrats cry foul over a phone call to Ukraine. What if this impeachment demand is successful? Will Hillary placed in the White House? Not quite.







Once an individual is impeached, they must then face the possibility of conviction on the charges by a legislative vote. A vote which has yet to be taken on the House floor. The Speaker of the House can call for an official vote. Nancy Pelosi is yet to do so. Instead, she has told the American people how she constantly regrets having to do this.



Front Porch family you can see this is all bull. If she was so heartbroken why allow such questionable acts. Adam Schiff is now mired in controversy. This impeachment is about one thing. Doing away with what you think. Pelosi has made it clear. If you oppose her party, you will suffer.



Impeachment is Leading to a Cold Civil War



While Pelosi can lie about her intentions one thing is clear. If you want to seek office as an outsider you are wrong. This is a clear shot at anyone who opposes her agenda. If you commit to draining the swamp you will be reprimanded. Maxine Watters has even carried it a step further. She accused President Trump of trying to start a Civil War.

Podcast 96



Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has published her new plan for America. “A Just Society” is the plan’s name. This plan includes giving illegals who may come into our country’s government benefits and social and cultural rights.  Benefits like retirement, welfare, health insurance, post-secondary education, and public housing. This “A Just Society” is a larger push for Socialism in America.  Podcast 96 will discuss AOC’s plans to make our country the United Socialist States of America.







AOC’s Plans to Make America a Socialist Country



There is no doubt that Alexandria Ocasio Cortez wants America to be a Socialist country.  She is the media darling of Socialism herself. She came into office under the disguise of a person who wanted to save the Earth.  Save the Earth from Climate Change that is.  



We all remember the debacle with the Green New Deal.  A plan to spend over $90 trillion in ten years. It was later revealed that this plan was only developed to push America towards one thing.  The push to Socialism was the ultimate goal. Not saving the planet. Not making your life better.  







Let us not forget also this is the representative who daily calls President Trump corrupt.  All while her PAC sponsor and campaign advisor had to resign over campaign corruption accusations.  Saikat Chakrabarti has gone into hiding after being accused of misusing almost $1 million in campaign funds.  Chakrabarti is an extreme Socialist. 



Alexandria Ocasio Cortez Plan for America



You have now been given a quick rundown of what AOC’s corrupt past has been in two short years in congress.  To further the unjust acts of this freshman congresswoman, now she has introduced a new plan for America. A plan she titles “A Just Society.”  I am sure that justice warriors are foaming at the mouth for this.  



Listen to Why I love America!



A Just Society makes you think that America is not just.  That is the viewpoint of AOC and her squad. They will tell you that America has never been a just country.  The Judeo-Christian values that our country was founded on is cruel. Nevermind the prosperity that America has brought to the world.  Forget that she has been given the ability to achieve dreams she may have had. Oh no, America is bad, and AOC is going to make it good.



Let us as a Front Porch Family now take time to dissect Ocasio-Cortez’s new plan.  A plan to tax you at a much higher rate. And give privilege to those who break our countries laws.



A Just Society: The Mercy In Re-entry Act



The first part of AOC’s Just America includes a

Podcast 95



September 2019 has been an eventful month in the world of politics. We have had a George Soros backed little girl telling us the world is ending. That is not the biggest story. Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats have now called for the impeachment of President Trump. Adam Schiff even completely made up his own story. Podcast 95 will discuss the plans to impeach President Trump over Ukraine and how this is a failing battle cry of the Democrats.







Put Yourself In Donald Trump’s Shoes



Imagine for a moment you are working in a company. You have been accused of offering a bribe to a boss to advance in the company. You did not do this. All the while, another employee actually did this. Not only did they do it, but they also confessed to doing so.



Co-workers then use secondhand knowledge of providing “proof” you did this. They give it to the supervisor who had received bribes already. You may be possibly be fired for the accusations against you. You are dedicated to the company and want it to be the best. This is the current state of politics in our country for Donald Trump.



Democrats call for President Trump’s Impeachment



Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced on Tuesday that the House would initiate a formal impeachment inquiry against President Trump. Charging him with betraying his oath of office and the nation’s security. Pelosi accused the president of seeking to enlist a foreign power to tarnish a rival. Ukraine is the county being spoken of. This is all in connection to a whistleblowers report.



What Pelosi did not tell you is that the evidence already exists. She also declared the inquiry before she even read any information. First, let us look at the facts. Since President Trump’s victory, the Dems have sought to take him out. They cannot stand that Hillary Clinton lost. They also hate you. That’s right, you. This socialist-leaning party is completing leaving the American people.



Pelosi’s calls to Impeach Trump



Negative Nancy held a presser to describe into detail about why she wants Trump impeached. I could have more respect for these folks if they would just call it like it was. They hate Trump. They hate he has an American first point-of-view. And they hate you for supporting him. I would rather Democrats be honest than to lie every day about their motive.







Pelosi took the microphone to state: “The actions taken to date by the president have seriously violated the Constitution.” President Trump, she added, “must be held accountable. No one is above the law.” I’m glad the Dems keep saying this. Obviously, they do not believe it. If they did, Ilhan Omar would be out of congress. She stands accused of tax evasion and immigration fraud. Not one Democrat has called her out on this. Impeachment of Trump is on their brain, including Adam Schiff.



Adam Schiff Shifts into Liar Mode



Adam Schiff is not a man of integrity.

Podcast 94



Monday we were lectured by 16-year-old Greta Thunberg. Boosting her to near David Hogg status on the Fake News media channels. Just do a Google search for Climate Change or global warming, and you will see story after story of Thunberg. The Climate Change discussion will be part of our 2020 election no doubt. Podcast 94 will discuss Climate Change, Greta Thunberg, and the End of the World.







Climate Change and the End of the World



There is a new narrative that has been pushed in our media. Socialist politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has constantly told us that we only have 12 years left. The narrative is that we must completely remove cars, jets, and farting cows. Not doing so will cause catastrophic extension on Earth of life as we know it. This narrative is being pushed on children such as Greta Thunberg.



Before we begin this podcast I would like to remind you of something. I believe the climate changes. It is my believe that mankind can affect his environment. I love nature, and I love God’s creation. It is because I believe it is God’s creation. I believe it is arrogant of us to think we are in control. God owns this planet. He is in control. While he did give us free will, he expected us to treat it with respect.



Climate Change is a Push to Socialism



The whole basis for the climate change battle cry is not for our environment. It is more of a push towards making America a socialist country. Remember what Hilter would say. Tell a lie long enough and people would start to believe it. This lie all starts at a target audience of course. The target audience is children. Schools were rushed a copy of Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” where he told of the destruction of our planet.



So who can save us from destroying ourselves? According to modern thinking, big government. Advocates for big government take over of industries want a very communistic style government. These advocates are AOC and any 2020 Democrat candidate. Most conservatives seem terrified to take on this discussion. They are afraid they will be labeled as uncaring. I believe in truth so let us first discuss the Green New Deal.



The Green New Deal and Climate Change



Many 2020 presidential candidates have started pushing for initiatives like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Green New Deal. A 92 trillion dollar program that would cripple the American economy. To refresh your memory let me remind you of some key points of this plan.







In ten year the United States is supposed to upgrading all existing buildings” in the country for energy efficiency. Eliminate pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. All while supporting family farms and promoting universal access to healthy food. Overhaul the transportation systems to reduce emissions. Including expanding electric car manufacturing, building “charging stations everywhere,” and expanding high-speed rail to “a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary.”



This, in short,
