North Korea launches another missile over Japan. Lands in Pacific ocean after traveling about 1,600 miles. Can go far enough to reach Guam. American weakness exhibited by past administrations has led to this situation. American weakness is (still) provocative. Interview with Ed Kominowski of the Community Foundation of Morgan County. We discuss conservative principles in philanthropy & charity. Government programs vs private donations. Ed is doing great things in this space. Conservatives help, but prefer to do so directly as individuals or through groups who provide direct charitable services. My thoughts on giving & the intrinsic value of every individual. Buffalo Wild Wings in Southern California silences Monday Night Football during national anthem. Detroit Lions season ticket holder expelled from games because of alleged racist comment on Snapchat. Third verse of national anthem cited as reason fans didn't stand. Sorry I ran out of time to talk about this today!

Today, I talk with Ed Kominowski of the Community Foundation of Morgan County. We talk about the advantages of private charity versus government entitlement programs. We also talk about the free market approach to charity and tackle the erroneous concept that conservatives don't give (or care) about other people. Great chat with Ed!

Trump makes a deal with Democrats on DACA? Not really clear. Border wall funding? Is tax reform Trump's long-term play? Will moderate Democrats have cover to deal with Trump on tax reform, especially if they are up for re-election and running in states Trump carried in 2016? Jemele Hill's tweets about Trump & white supremacy. This is getting predictable, and as a result, pretty boring. Tax reform. Framing the argument. Whose money is it any way? Trickle down economics and a growing economy. A caller. Parental rights questioned by law professor. Of course.

The Left can't help themselves: they make a Hand in Hand hurricane relief telethon political. Stevie Wonder. Beyonce. Flashback to Mr. Kardashian's infamous "George Bush hates black people" soundbite. Balancing the humanity of the crisis with the politics of the issue. Climate Change. Facial recognition software can predict a person's politics? Can only imagine what the plans are for this. Some tout the so-called 'gaydar' of the software, even though it's not as good as it first sounds like it is. A question from a listener who gets me. Sexy, Sexy, Sexy Martin O'Malley. Thanks for listening!

Hillary book tour explaining 'what happened.' Delusional, completely unnecessary & pointless - other than serving her pride. She's visiting states she didn't even bother to campaign in when running for president. Retailers list at 40% discount even before it's released. SCOTUS temporarily lifts Trump travel ban restriction rule by circuit court. Monkey selfie case reminds me of Seinfeld. PETA & photographer reach settlement. Whew! Politicization of Miss America - and everything. Average cost to attend NFL football game. NFL is a non-profit. What's it really mean to be non-profit?

Hurricane Irma. What the meteorologists got right. What they got wrong. Looters. Why doesn't everyone leave? Dire predictions & their effects. Cleveland Browns unity video & national anthem statement. Keep America Great or Make America Great Again? Or both? Remembering 9/11. Honoring Victims. Thanking those who serve & defend. America is good. Fighting radical Islamic terrorism. Remembering who the enemy is and why we must destroy their evil ideology.

Hurricane Irma bears down on South Florida. Destructive, dire predictions. Nuclear hurricane. Pray for safety and full, speedy recovery for all the areas impacted by this monster storm. Hillary out on a book tour blaming everyone but herself. Seattle Seahawks superstar Michael Bennett misrepresents what happened between him & police after Mayweather-McGregor fight. Clooney sends 'racy texts' to Obama? What the heck does that mean? Get ready for the Senate's 'bipartisan healthcare bill.' Not gonna be good. Have a great weekend. See you Monday!

I don't know why Trump "sided with Democrats" on a short-term Continuing Resolution & Hurricane Harvey relief funding. But there is more to the story. And I have some questions. Setting the stage. Budgets. Types of spending bills. Continuing Resolutions have allowed leadership by crisis management. What happened to Trump's budget in Congress? Fear of government shutdown terrifies GOP. No clean bills. Trump agrees with Pelosi & Schumer that a 90-day CR is preferred to an 18-month CR. McConnell & Ryan act like they lost, but they can pass whatever legislation they want. Would Trump veto it? Would Democrats filibuster it? Why did Trump side with Democrats. Some questions I have. Reframing this issue & debate. Planned Parenthood comments on DACA. Just slightly ironic - and completely sad.

Fallout from Trump's decision to end DACA. Trump statement (given by Jeff Sessions). Obama's statement about DACA. A brief history of DACA. How did we get here? What's next? And what can Congress do? Constitutional authority. Congressional leadership - or lack thereof. Hurricane Irma. Massive storm. Climate changers are blaming our activity for this storm. Shouldn't make political pawns of these victims. Most powerful storm ever recorded in the Atlantic. Devastating hit to Lesser Antilles. On path to hit Florida?

Reports are that Trump is terminate President Obama's DACA executive order. Giving Congress 6 months to implement their own immigration legislation. This is what should have been done originally. Compare & contrast DACA with President Trump's temporary travel ban from countries with a terrorism problem - or what the media has called "Muslim majority countries." Who's really in charge of immigration anyway? North Korea escalating. Nikki Haley tells UN "enough is enough," and "North Korea is begging for war." Twenty-plus years of playing games with North Korea. Debt ceiling. More than half in UK are 'non-religious.' This sentiment has come to America, too. For one missionary, the place most hostile to the Gospel is Boston.
