Thought to Action

Washington politicians have historically tried to gain power by finding ways to override or outright ignore the U.S. Constitution, which is why the nation's founders installed a Supreme Court. Former United States Attorney General Ed Meese joins our panel to discuss the prevailing debate over the past century-plus as to whether the Constitution must remain followed to the text and intent of its creators versus the assertion it is a "living, breathing document" which needs to change with the times: the fight between Constitutional Originalists vs. Judicial Activists. The current chaos over the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision (a clear violation of the 10th Amendment) is only one example of quite a few Supreme Court decisions pitting emotional and Constitutional arguments outside and within the SCOTUS chambers.
The question is: should judicial activists have a place in the Supreme Court considering the duty of its justices is to protect, not conveniently interpret the US Constitution? For decades, legislators have tried to gain power by weakening the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 10th amendments on a regular basis; their bidding done eagerly by activists instilled in the Judicial body.
On this edition of Thought to Action, our panel discusses the need for Constitutional originalists in the Supreme Court and how to instill such values in the next generation of judges and legislators. We explore cases, the need to continue nominating Constitutional Originalists and to promote the understanding to all in the U.S. that the right decision as per the law of the land will not always go someone's way, but protection of its foundation is paramount. We also discuss why it is important to keep politicians from attempting to pack the Supreme Court with extra ideological sycophants in the future via a Keep Nine Amendment.

Our panelists:
London Center for Policy Research President LTC Tony Shaffer
London Center for Policy Research Distinguished Fellow Navy Capt. Pete O'Brien
Former United States Attorney General Ed Meese
Former Tennessee Attorney General and Keep Nine Coalition Chairman Paul Summers
Keep Nine Coalition Director Roman Buhler

A leaked draft of a possible majority opinion presented the possibility of a ruling in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case negating – effectively overturning – the oft-debated Roe v. Wade decisions due to Constitutional Considerations has caused quite the political row. Despite the knee-jerk emotional reactions from the Far Left and early claims of victory from those who are anti-abortion, the true argument against the 1973 landmark SCOUTS decision is Constitutional: a violation of the 10th Amendment of the US Bill of Rights. Our panel from the Herb London Center for Policy Research delves into the true contestable issues surrounding the Roe v. Wade outcome.
The seven Supreme Court Justices who voted in favor of the "Jane Roe" legal team justified their decision citing the 14th Amendment's "Due Process" statute while adding not allowing a women to have an abortion would violate that same amendment's declaration the government can not infringe on people's "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness." Of the two dissenting Justices, William Rehnquist argued the 14th amendment does not protect abortion (citing legal issues) while Justice Byron White says the decision violated the rights of states to set such laws (A10). Our panel takes a deeper dive:

LCPR Senior Fellow Jay Homnick

Elon Musk did what he said he would do: after an unjust suspension of the Babylon Bee account over a parody story, the Tesla founder bought Twitter and will take the company private after a transition period. The reaction all around has been predictable: those on the right consider this a victory for free speech while pundits and Blue Checkmarks on the Left are lamenting the end of free speech. While it's fun to watch, the London Center for Policy Research looks into what happens next and what can we realistically expect?

On this special edition of Thought to Action, We look into:
Project Veritas' posting of audio from the Twitter "All Hands On Deck" meeting led by CEO Parag Agarwal.
The sudden change in Twitter followers for both Conservative and Liberal influencers virtually overnight leading to suspicions of engineered biased algorithms the company does not to be revealed to the public
Will there be a "mass exodus" or "insurgency of saboteurs" from some current Twitter employees?
Will Musk clean house when he takes over?
Why are left-leaning pundits going hysterical over this purchase?
The irony of Adam Schiff saying Twitter will become a haven of "disinformation" when Musk takes control.
Will Twitter allow people unjustly suspended over wrongthink be welcomed back on the Social Media platform?
Also - what will Elon Musk do with the company on the business end?

Our panel:
LCPR President LTC Tony Shaffer
LCPR Distinguished Fellow Navy Capt. Pete O'Brien
LCPR Senior Fellow Marine Capt. Bill Heinzelmann
LCPR Media Director Chris Cordani

Like many activists on the Left, when bereft of intellectual arguments, those from the Gun Control agenda employ the use of triggering buzzwords to manipulate the emotions of voters who they are trying to influence. They are meant to invoke Pavlovian responses and perhaps mislead people about the debate over the Constitutional right to own firearms and defend oneself and one's property with them when necessary.
On this edition of Thought to Action, London Center for Policy Research Senior Fellow and head of the Center's 2nd Amendment Project LTC (British Army, Ret.) Tim Wilson and LCPR Distinguished Fellow Navy Capt. (Ret) Pete O'Brien break down some of these terms and the truth behind the Gun Control Agenda's condemnations of 2nd Amendment rights in the US including: "Ghost Guns," "Deadly Weapon," "Assault Rifle" and "High Capacity Magazines."

US President Joe Biden recently tried to get tough with Vladimir Putin as the Russians continue their assault on Ukraine. While sanctions have not worked, Biden has few cards to play in what could be considered a proxy US-Russia War on Ukraine grounds as he threatened to use strategic nuclear attacks on Russia until its nation's president pulls out. If this reminds many of the old US-USSR Cold War, the threats of mutually assured destruction, the idea that both superpowers never directly faced off, the old "arms race" and fighting through propaganda, you would be correct.
On this edition of Thought to Action, our panel from the London Center for Policy Research looks at the recent posturing from the Biden Administration and the current state of nuclear strength levels of each nation:

When politicians and gun control activists prepare to take aim at the U.S. Constitution's 2nd Amendment and citizens' right to defend themselves, they often perpetuate falsehoods and set up straw men to push their collective agenda.

The 2nd Amendment is under fire from politicians who look lovingly at the gradual disarming of the public by the United Kingdom (which took nearly a century to accomplish) in hopes US citizens can be manipulated enough to allow the circumvention of the 2nd Amendment to the Bill of Rights.

In this edition of Thought to Action, the London Center for Policy Research breaks down and debunks such mythology from the political establishment Left:

American history consistently proves there are factions withing federal government which will do and say anything to remain in power while accomplishing as little as possible and real accountability as well as action comes from grass roots ideas and support. President Donald Trump's victory has inspired people who were not normally interested in politics to become more concerned with national, state, local and world issues or perhaps run for office from regional school boards to the U.S. Senate -- an example of the latter is our guest, North Carolina candidate Kenneth Harper.

Harper talks with London Center for Policy Research President Tony Shaffer about his political journey and calling to run for office, his grass roots support among people in North Carolina, obstacles thrown at him by the state's political establishment and why the candidate says the upcoming elections are extremely important as the American Left, currently in power, has been punishing political opponents, stifling free speech and using their media allies to proverbially gag any dissenting views. Harper and LTC Shaffer discuss how the American people need to hold our government and its elected officials accountable for its actions to weaken America and circumvent the Constitution.

While Russia continues its assault against Ukraine and the defending country keeps up its resistance, the Chinese Communist Party is watching the US and Western nations' arguably ineffective responses. President Xi has been looking to carry out his threat to annex Taiwan and perhaps sees the Biden Administration as a true, but short, window of opportunity to take the island nation under Chinese control. Still, is he going to pounce soon while nobody's looking or continue a "wait and see" approach as Putin's maneuvers and the consequences unfold?

Our panel delves into the possible scenarios:

London Center for Policy Research Distinguished Fellow Navy Capt. Pete O'Brien
London Center for Policy Research Senior Fellow Jay Homnick
Independent Women's Forum Foreign Policy Fellow Claudia Rosett

While he thought invading Ukraine would have been a bit easier, Vladimir Putin likely did not expect the resolve of the nation's people and President Zelenskyy's masterful skills to sway world public opinion.
In this edition of Thought to Action, the London Center for Policy Research delves into the invasion from a strategic point of view:
What did Putin really expect?
Where did he miscalculate?
Are the Russians ready for a long period of insurgency should Putin take control of Ukraine?
Is Putin's game plan akin to a Cold War strategy and obsolete?
Did Putin not learn the lessons of Afghanistan from when both the US and USSR occupied the nation?

Over the past two weeks, the Biden Administration has been quick to blame high gas prices and skyrocketing inflation on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. While they are relying on Americans having very short memories, it was the President and Democrats' agenda and their policies which fueled major price and cost-of-living hikes over the past year; economic numbers prove it. Still, the administration and mainstream media continue to push falsehoods about the creation of this high inflationary environment. In this edition of Thought to Action, London Center for Policy President Tony Shaffer and Economist'Host of "We the People" Geeta Chopra debunk the propaganda and reveal the true causes of record inflation in the U.S.

Shaffer and Chopra delve into the numbers and what's behind them - from unemployment to CPI and the spin coming out of Washington. They also discuss ways to improve our situation.

In addition, Chopra explains how some immigrant communities in the US are manipulated into voting against their own economic interests, citing financial stats as well as people's experiences after coming to America. Chopra is also the author of the new book, My Personal Letter to Trump: Freedom. Available on Amazon.
