Chinese Communist Party leaders seem to be looking forward to a Biden Presidency for many reasons. Still, is America really prepared for what's to come? Between the mounds of financial interests the CCP has in US treasuries, Wall Street's deals with the nation and its propaganda machine, do American military and political leaders really know how much of a threat China is to the rest of the world?

This week on Though to Action, London Center President Lt. Col. (Ret.) Tony Shaffer talks with LCPR Senior Fellow Gordon Chang, author of THE COMING COLLAPSE OF CHINA, discuss the ambitions of the Chinese government, decades of American US-China policy mistakes and achievements as well as what a Biden presidency may mean for the CCP.

With the myriad of improprieties and statistical anomalies regarding the 2020 elections, will the new federal government address them? Will America be true or false?


This week on Though to Action, London Center President Lt. Col. (Ret.) Tony Shaffer talks with LCPR Board of Directors member Bennett McPhatter, whose extensive research revealed the truth and more questions behind the improprieties and mathematical improbabilities of the 2020 election results.



Shaffer and McPhatter discuss the data, research and numbers involved with investigations into the 2020 election results and mid-game rule changes instilled by members of the federal government. This all begs the question as to whether the US will bother to address and fix the issues involving the Dominion voting systems, count irregularities and the new voting rules.

After the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, major media outlets swarmed to the the Florida town to cover the murders and promote a very political anti-gun agenda. Some classmates of the shooter were heralded on news channels and magazines across the nation as a means to push their views over this. Lost, however, through the constant coverage were ideas to find solutions to the wave of mass shootings at the time.

Andrew Pollack, whose daughter Meadow was among the Parkland shooting victims, talks with London Center Senior Fellow Lt. Col. Tim Wilson to discuss what really went wrong and how to find ways to prevent such things from happening on school grounds in the future.


Tim and Andrew discuss:
What did school officials miss before the shooting and why?
Why "No Gun Zones" are extremely dangerous
Why many school districts refuse to have armed officers or security guards protect their students
Why and how teachers should be trained to use firearms in case of an emergency
How Meadow's and the other Parkland students' deaths could have been prevented

Andrew Pollack leads the Crime Prevention Research Center: https://crimeresearch.org/
Pollack spent his career as a small businessman in scrap metal and real estate, but after his daughter Meadow was murdered in the Parkland school shooting he dedicated his life to finding answers and preventing future tragedies. Contrary to the national media narrative, Pollack learned that gun control laws had nothing to do with why that mass shooting happened. It was, rather, systemic failures in public institutions caused by misguided liberal policies. “The people who blame the gun before they learn the facts,” Pollack says, “are a big part of what people call the ‘root cause’ of mass shootings and violent crime. At the Crime Prevention Research Center, I will focus on finding and disseminating the facts. On saving lives, not on partisan talking points.”

Have today's major news media outlets destroyed the public trust? Who removed the real journalists from top newspapers and cable news channels and replaced them with activists? What happened to journalistic standards and confirming sources? How do we hold these information gatekeepers accountable?


London Center for Policy Research Sr. Fellow Lt. Col. British Army (Ret.) Tim Wilson and Blanquita Cullum, host of The Hard Question (WCGO, Chicago and The Smart Radio Network), as they dissect these questions from their unique perspectives and Ms, Cullum's acclaimed media leadership career.


Wilson and Cullum also look at the continued fight for an accurate count in the 2020 elections, the recycled career politicians on the Biden transition team and how power-hungry authoritarians are using the pandemic to commit government overreach.

This week on Though to Action, Lt. Col. (Ret.) Tony Shaffer talks with Stephen Halbrook, Senior Fellow at Independent Institute well known for his litigation on behalf of the National Rifle Association (#NRA)

1. The guaranteed right to self-defense with the establishment of a minimal response requirement.
2. Accepting "use of force" without discharge as a viable de-escalation technique
3. How to establish universal suffrage for gun ownership rights in the U.S.
