In my book, Pritical Thinking, I wrote that Social Security was doomed from the start.

It is nothing more than a government-sanctioned, intergenerational Ponzi Scheme!

It is unconstitutional and should be abolished. 

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was not truthful with the American people when he was pushing the legislation that eventually passed.

Social Security will be insolvent by 2034.

There are other alternatives currently implemented by dozens of countries around the world. Why doesn't the United States adopt one of them?

This episode will tackle the issue of climate change or global cooling or global warming (depending on what decade in which the issue is being pushed). Specifically we are going to review this topic from the perspective of the propaganda, lies, and deception that surround the topic.

The list is long but I tackle five instances:

1. The Hockey Stick Temperature Chart.

The bottom line is, with such a prolific history of data manipulation, lies, and propaganda, why is there a lack of healthy skeptism around the claims made by climate change alarmist?

Show Notes:

• Canadian statisticians, Steven McIntyre and Ross McKitrick (hockey stick)

Today we are going to talk about former San Francisco 49ers’ quarterback, Colin Kaepernick’s 2017 national anthem protest.

I was prompted to record this episode after reading an article in my local sports section by Associated Press writer Paul Newberry as he used the opportunity of the opening of NFL training camps to complain about the fact that Colin Kaepernick is still unemployed. I love one-sided articles like this because it offers a great opportunity to point out both bias and common ground and, of course, providing ample opportunity to offer up counter-arguments.

Today I am going to lay out facts about this historical event – the resurrection of a man known as Jesus of Nazareth. For those of you who are Christians, I believe this conversation will bolster your faith. After all, without the resurrection, Christianity is nothing; our faith is futile. 1 Corinthians 15:17

For those of you who are atheists, agnostics, undecided and anywhere in between, just consider this an ancient history lesson and simply ingest what I share. Perhaps it will change or tilt your heart in His direction.

We are going to tackle the minimum wage issue with facts, figures, economic laws, and logic rather than, what we usually get - emotional calls for the wage rate increase using illogical arguments that are in direct opposition to economic law.

I want to start with a quote by Thomas Sowell from his epic book, Basic Economics that really lays the foundation for this discussion. On page 237 he said:

“By the simplest and most basic economics, a price artificially raised tends to cause more to be supplied and less to be demanded than when prices are left to be determined by supply and demand in a free market. The result is a surplus, whether the price that is set artificially high is that of farm produce or labor.”
