Courage to speak

Not the happiest of episodes, but if happiness does show up, give it a comfortable chair. Short and sour this week. Yeah.

A good book:

Some thoughts on what happened in DC/what's happened the last two months. We're running on a shortage of testosterone in this country. John Wayne is dead, but you've got me. Big Trouble in Little China is the theme. Those words seem to have new meaning all the sudden. Cowboy up, everybody.

 A small anecdote from my past comes up this week in the form of a humorist's false narrative: Dylan Brody's "Slow flow of Glass" might not have been as great a story as I thought. Not as true as I thought anyway.

Happy 2021 to all the loyal listeners. I look forward to more conversations in 2021. -BC

I've started to view the current toxic soup of politics in a little different light. China is just another fat corporation looking to make an acquisition, and while America still has a pretty good Board of Directors (that's us), we've let too many shares get gobbled up by a bunch of untrustworthy fat cats in a hurry to sell us out. All that, plus a little talk about how clear-cut our choices are becoming, keeping your optimism in times of uncertainty, and celebrating Christmas in spite of it all. Merry Christmas!

Or, just watch Pretty Woman... you'll get the gist. 

Nothing has changed. The election will only be saved with a buzzer  beater. The bureaucrats want to make us all criminals. And I'm dreaming  of a white Christmas where I'm able to enjoy the little things. Join me  for this week's Courage to Speak podcast. Video available on Rumble and Youtube. 

Here's the article mentioned: https://accordingtohoyt.com/2020/12/14/keeping-your-feet-in-an-avalanche/

That can't happen here. This is the United States. We can handle anything. Not so fast there, Scooter. We are not immune to political problems that are as old as the hills. Just a slight political discussion about picking your battles, why it's important to fight, and what could happen. All that, plus some comparisons with 1989 Romania, and just how fast things can spin out of control. See the referenced ABC news report here:

It's the voice of ghosts from 1990. Note at the end of the report he says "symbolic acts can be interpreted in different ways." 

Leaders come and go. Removing the oppressive machinery they use is more complicated.

Why is everyone expecting everything RIGHT NOW? Cause that's what we do in America. We want it all. We want it all. We want it all. And we want it NOW! Well, you better remember the ketchup, because good things come to those who wait. And, you can wait a wile longer if we lost. IF there's a 1% chance to SAVE THE COUNTRY, I can wait a few more weeks for that outcome. 

Patton said, "You're never beaten until you admit it." SOOOO... we're not beaten yet. Not today. Give them a few more days. Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, Donald Trump... these are not wusses. They're winners. So I'm not going to sit around and arm-chair quarterback this thing. None of us normal folks are in command of all the facts. So sit back, grab the popcorn, and watch the show. Worst case scenario is that we lose later instead of today. You should be okay with that. 

Here's how (one of) the vote stealing software cheats does its thing:

Good news, we got it: Strength in numbers, overwhelming evidence, some good guys left, and most importantly the truth is on our side vis-à-vis the stolen election of 2020. If Lin Wood is confident, why shouldn't we be? Here's a link to the interview I referenced: https://youtu.be/6a3KD6OLdvs

Bad news: we don't hold all the keys to all the doors. We're fighting a war that the other side has been prepping for over the course of fifty plus years. 

Sometimes you can learn a lot from a dumb TV show, which is actually a really smart TV show. Burn Notice is available on Amazon prime and is worth the watch (for the first several seasons, anyway):

Are you going to be first in line for your vaccine? Are you planning on going to concerts next year? Did you get your uniform yet? It's not the end of the world. I don't think. Pretty sketchy though. If you're looking for something upbeat, you might've come to the wrong place, but we are keeping it real. 

This week we'll cover common sense on vaccines, governing dynamics with Dr. John Nash, and a little (very little) talk about the rapture (bad theology). "Your love is like bad theology..." doesn't quite have the same ring to it. It's also city mouse vs country mouse with the cats making all the rules in the new civil war. Join me, won't you?
