The reality of good and evil as a part of human existence has been evident for along as there have been people, but the question is: Are we really good people that do evil or are we evil people that do good?” Is there Justice anywhere? The guys in the neighborhood try to navigate these questions and elevate the topic. And finally, we talk about society’s rules and how they are enforced and the effect of regulation on our lives.
Our destinies as Americans are intertwined. When Black America sneezes, White America gets a cold. In this episode, we discuss the formation of the Congressional Black Caucus and the NACCP and their connection to the hopelessness and misery found in many black communities. My guest, Burgess Owens, a former NFL player for the Jets and Oakland Raiders explains “It’s Not White Supremacists, It’s Black Elitist”. In fact, one could argue that black political power, as exercised by current Democratic Party leaders, has had a negative impact on the flourishing of black communities while the leaders have enriched themselves by benefiting from private and public largesse.

“I was going to redefine what was possible, I was no longer going to be defined as the burn kid,” Shay Eskew explained. The story begins on October 4, 1982 when Shay was just eight years old, and his friend Jeff, was 7. Shay’s mom had asked him to go across the street to warn their neighbor that they had an aggressive yellow jackets nest in the yard. The previous day, it had swarmed his entire bicycle. He walked across the street and knocked on the door. Their dad wasn’t home, but the fifteen-year-old daughter was. Shay proceeded to tell her about the aggressive yellow jackets nest. As they walked down the driveway to look at the hole in the ground, you could see the yellow jackets flying in and out of the nest. The young lady then asked if Shay and his friend could help get rid of them? To which Shay responded yes. As they were watching the yellow jackets 10 to 15 feet away, she grabbed a match and threw it down in the hole and nothing happened. She then instantaneously grabbed a cup of gasoline, and threw it at the hole. It splashed on the right […]
Our Constitutional Republic has served us well for over 240 years since the American Revolution, through a Civil War, Two World Wars, countless other conflicts, and yet today people are talking about moving to a Democratic Socialist form of government, and abandoning the architecture of our Constitution and the many freedoms we enjoy. What is the responsibility of government for Americans, and what about as a global force? Globalism vs Nationalism, open borders vs isolation, confrontation between parties and ideology to the point that dialogue has been replaced by resistance and confrontation; how do we get by this? Do any of our politicians have a clue as to the role of the United States going forward and are they willing to entertain questions and dialogue and new solutions? MORE VIEWPOINT THE NEWS MAGAZINE It was said by former President Ronald Reagan “If we lose freedom here, there’s no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth”. Are we close to that happening here? If not now, in the near future? Have we reached a tipping point for our nation where we need to make a choice? Changing our course or do we continue to move along a path blocked with […]

We often read food labels before purchasing food products. We do this because we care about the health and safety of our families. What about the drugs in our medicine cabinets? Millions of Americans are taking drugs made in China that lack the Food and Drug Administration safety inspections we take for granted in America. Joining me today to discuss this critical issue is Rosemary Gibson, a senior advisor with the Hastings Center, a bio-ethics research institute. Gibson and Janardan P. Singh are co-authors of China RX: Exposing the Risks of America’s Dependence on China for Medicine.

How do you unsee what you’ve seen? Impossible really. The lasting impact of war on our veterans has a traumatic affect on every aspect of their lives; for the duration of their lives. Consider that our veterans are waiting months and even years for basic health care. The VA Appeals process takes minimum 2-5 years; in the mean time many of these veterans die while waiting. Veterans are living paycheck to paycheck. Many are disabled, have PTSD, and suicidal tendencies. The suicide rate among our veterans is an absolute crisis! Homelessness amongst veterans is at a record pace. “They have slipped through the cracks. Our government has done a very poor job of taking care of them,” explains Gretchen Smith, Founder of the Code of Vets. That would explain why PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, is destroying lives at record numbers. When Danny E. Smiley, US Army Airborne Infantry Sgt., returned home from war, he revealed something profound when he said, “Part of my humanity stayed in the jungle”. Sgt. Smiley’s story is one for the ages. It is a story of sacrifice, courage, grace and humility. Growing up, Gretchen Smith and her two brothers were able to see firsthand the destruction that war had on their […]
This is not the first time we’ve been at a stalemate in America. We have been down this road before. It seems we always bounce back though – what about this time? Are the details any different this time around, or is this ‘swamp business’ as usual? Where is the tipping point? When do we go so far away from our fundamental constitutional principles that the establishment of our Republic is in jeopardy? Are we already there? Is it a few years away? Is the enticement of free stuff from a benevolent government the catnip of society? Why can’t our politicians sit down in a grown-up meeting and work out the problems as we once did for over 200 years? How did we go from communicating in adversarial dialogue to resist and blockade? MORE VIEWPOINT THE NEWS MAGAZINE Are the divisions within government and our country the result of our founders design; after all the Constitution was the result of trying to satisfy the desires and needs of many different factions; small states, large states, different religious groups, northern and southern colonies? Have we deviated so far from this original design? I’ve been thinking and talking about this divided government business […]
