  • FiredUp - Ep 89 Choice, Consequences and the Greater Good

    This week we will be discussing  Choice, Consequences and the Greater Good regarding how the current covid surge is locking up ICU beds all over the country and preventing patients with other illnesses from accessing life saving treatments. We will get into how the choices made by the anti-vax and anti-mask population is we believe selfish and some potential options to address it.

    We will be following up on the Sturgis Bike Rally and the 600% increase in Covid cases resulting in South Dakota alone.

    We will look at the latest reports coming from the 2020 Census and some impact changes to redistricting that may be coming.

    And we will re-visit the 3rd Political Party option and outlook based on voter turnout numbers from the 2020 election.

  • FiredUp Ep 88 - Pandemic Comparisons, The Silent Majority, the 1776 Unites and more!

    This week, we will be discussing the latest Covid news asa always, but we will also be placing our progress through the pandemic against other pandemics over the past 100 years (Smallpox, Polio, Measles, etc) looking at how vaccines and medical treatment eliminated these.

    - We will have a discussion about an old term that is making a comeback. Specifically, "The Silent Majority". Created 1,000 yrs ago, made famous/infamous by Richard Nixon in 1969 now a reference to those who don't register or vote.
    - Now that the Arizona "audit" is nearly done and the results will not overturn the election, GOP members are starting to criticize the process publicly.
    - Fox news went after US Reps Talib and Pressley of the Squad for receiving rental income from properties during the CDC eviction moratorium. They failed to mention however that that isn't an illegal or proscribed process. 
    - A new educational curriculum called the 1776 Unites initiative is out to compete against Critical Race Theory. We will look at this new offering and one of its backers.

    We review the latest efforts by Republicans to push forward with redistricting efforts in Red states along with the on-gping voter disenfranchisement efforts still moving forward. How can those most affected fight back?
     
    New intraparty fractures in the Democratic party sets the stage for a return to DC gridlock and endangers Bidens agenda.
     
    And we re-visit the freeze on the repeal of the CDC eviction moratorium and a call to action on getting state legislatures to start distributing more than $46B set aside back in March to aid tenants and landlords.

    - In other Covid related stories, news about the increasing numbers of former anti-vaxxer/anti-mask advocates that continue to "get religion" about getting the vaccine once they have been infected and hospitalized with the Delta variant.

    - There was a story that a conservative spokesperson called the requirement for Covid vaccination before students can attend school this fall a civil rights violation, ignoring the fact that pre start-of-school vaccinations have been a requirement for more that 50 years and are perfectly legal under local and state laws.
    - In political news, the Biden administration is drawing heat from their dropping the ball and letting the CDC Eviction Moratorium end. Now they are scrambling to get it reinstated.
