Trump’s policy change on Turkey and Syria has people on both sides of the aisle up in arms. Is he doing the right thing? Two of my favorite go-to experts weigh in: Robert Spencer from JihandWatch.org and Lt. Col Ralph Peters, a career Army Intel veteran.
A recent column from Dem Strategist Stanley Greenberg in the NYT claimed that the GOP is dying. What he was really hoping for is the chance to have government solve all our nation’s problems. Here’s my analysis…
Your marriage is more important than your social media profile. That should be obvious, but I just saw a YouTube designer who revealed that her husband fell in love with someone else after nearly forty years. She mentioned this as an aside, after she talked about how many subscribers she has, and ran a video retrospective of her designs over the years. I know nothing about her, but she certainly seemed to care a great deal about complete strangers, maybe while her husband was left to rot? Just something for ALL of us to consider as we are pulled in many different directions.
I have to admit I find it hilarious that the Democrat candidates are whining about the coverage they’re getting from the press. Welcome to Donald Trump’s world. They have honestly come to expect such fawning from the MSM that they are legitimately shocked when they don’t get it. Don’t they under stand that it’s all about clicks, and not NEWS? I for one, am throughly enjoying it.
Why are so many adult children today acting so entitled? The more parents give them, the worse they are often treated by their ungrateful offspring. After witnessing the manipulation and guilt adult children lay on their parents, Linda Herman, a retired psychotherapist, has written a great book on the subject, entitled “Parents to the End”. She even includes a “Parents’ Bill of Rights” in the book. My chat with her was fascinating.
Teddy Roosevelt was quoted as saying, “Do what you can with what you have, where you are”. Great advice, and something I continue to tell myself when I don’t have the all tools I think I need to succeed. Like most people, there are aspects of my job that are out of my control.
Whether you’re a politician, a general, a musician, or a talk show host, you will at times be hindered by disinterested staff, small budgets, or poor leadership. And if you’re a person like me, who wants to make everything better, that can be a tough pill to swallow. If your name is on the show or the building, it’s worse.
Learn to do what you can with what you have, and smile when you’re asked about things you have no ability to correct. And a glass of wine might help.
These days we are allowing others to define who the enemy should be and spend so much of our time fighting over social media posts, politics, race, etc., that we’ve lost sight of who the enemy really is. My guest, Pastor Darrell Porter, joined me to discuss the realities of a world in which we’ve lost focus on the real issues, and what that will mean for us.
Dr. Michael Brown is a favorite guest of mine. He’s Jewish by heritage, but a Believer in Christ. He’s columnist, radio host and speaker. His latest book, “Jezebel’s War With America” has a lot of great information on how the attitudes and evil attitudes that were at work with the Biblical Jezebel and alive and well today. We discussed the evangelicals who still can’t accept Trump as President, and how we can combat the “Jezebel spirit” in America!
Red Flag laws are being discussed as the “solution” to prevent more mass shootings, and they already exist in various jurisdictions. But a recent case in New Jersey was a perfect example of why those laws won’t ever replace moral courage. A nanny and her employer were murdered by her ex-boyfriend, and neighbors saw him hanging around the house, stalking her, for weeks, yet never called anyone. And many of the mass shooters we hear about had enablers providing them weapons. Common sense is not replaced by LAWS.
How are radio hosts across the country responding to the censorship and “shadow banning” of conservative hosts on social media? I have certainly experienced it firsthand, and it’s annoying to say the least. Should we let these triggered lefty brats in Silicon Valley shut us down? How can today’s radio and podcast hosts navigate the waters?
For insight on how it’s affecting the industry as a whole, and what other radio hosts are saying, I turned to Michael Harrison, Publisher of Talkers’ Magazine, the #1 trade publication for talk radio. He’s always a fascinating guest.
