Peak Reality Check

https://www.change.org/EvacuationModelingSavesLives https://www.westsidewatch.org/evacuation-modeling-request WARNING! This podcast is a prime example of elected officials and a city administration NOT listening to the people in order to protect the incompetent and special interests at the expense of citizens, their lives, and property. Developers spent upwards of $2 million buying our City Council, and they are delivering as programmed - not only that, Councilmember Risley and Councilmember Leinweber are boldly saying we need to approve these developments faster as their citizens stand before them in tears.  So, we must have a fund ready to file lawsuits on the most egregious developments that risk human and animal life.  It's our only hope, and if everyone gives just a little, it can grow to be a significant fund to help stop these continual risks to our public safety until we get better leadership.     Isn't it worth it to skip a latte or burger for a day and donate that to save lives?   Legal Defense Fund (we are tax deductible):  http://spot.fund/rnqn7sc  

Happy Veterans Day. The discussion is about the results of the election, Wokeness, and will Trump leave or stay? WARNING! : At one point this podcast goes off the rails. 

What is the best poll? Should election strategy be driven by polling? Keystone. Rank Choice Voting. Inflation. Has the Federal Reserve made some mis-steps? Is there room for political violence in our system? Will Twitter survive? 

David Torres message: I'm better than Congressman Doug Lamborn. This Young Turk speaks from the heart. He's very passionate about being a congressman and serving ALL his constituents. Hear what David's vision is for Colorado's Congressional 5th District.  Which brings us to the question: What has Congressman Doug Lamborn really done for the 5th Congressional District in Colorado? 

You'd be surprised how many of our countrymen & women are on Social Security, Medicare, & Medicaid and the dollars attached to those programs. We circle around to what conservatism is and isn't. Is there battle lines being drawn in school regarding Inclusion? What's a good definition of Wokness? It might not be what you think. Is the Republican candidate for governor in Colorado really qualified for the job? Are there really serious issues at the southern border? Are Republicans anti-family? Against people fleeing Marxist governments? Wet foot. Dry foot. What is it? 

Young people cannot afford to stay in Colorado Springs? Is a space age economy the way to go? Wokeness at the United States Air Force Academy? Really? Congressman Doug Lamborn pretends to support our military. But in reality, does he? Is Congressman Lamborn undermining our National Defense? What do female soldiers, sailor, Marines, and airmen bring to the table?  Russia is going to the antique store for its military equipment as they're giving the Ukrainians their latest equipment----FREE!

Hyper nationalism? Republican leaning law enforcement. Image between police and firemen. Profiling by law enforcement is a real thing. What is "Stacking charges?" What's with this "Warrior Cop" image? Should it be toned down? Why is it necessary? Are Republican influenced law enforcement trying to restart the "War on Drugs?" Radical Republicans. How do we speak about policies without stepping into the political realm? Do we break our troops? What is the long term effect of two years of Covid-19 on the educational system? 

Is there a language barrier? Is there a cultural barrier? Are the ballots in the correct language? Is this a multi-generational problem? Are Hispanics being left out? How about the Hispanic community taking the initiative? Messaging. Terminology.  Who is the "Commitment to America" really for? Hint! It ain't you.

Our panel drills Regina English through the topics of education, activism, Critical Race Theory, removing barriers, affordable housing, economic development, and Voting.

Should students take a "gap year" between high school graduation and the first semester of college? Are the "Ivy League" schools really out of reach for our active duty, veterans, and their families? 

You get Rob Rogers' views on Education, Fire Mitigation, Kitchen Table Issues plus many more topics. Unvarnished and unedited. A must listen to podcast.

Democrats paying for radical Republican candidates? Good idea? Radical Libertarians. Neo-Confederate. Freedom from consequences. The local GOP. Are they eating their young? Groups against the FBI. China. 

Active military as un-credentialed teachers? Do you know what the FASTER program is? Eleven senators prove they don't support the troops. A discussion of TRICARE. Four day weekends? Another acronym for you: DONSA. Lamborn AGAIN?

Why should Veterans sign up for the Burn Pit Registry at the VA? Forty-one Senators voted against the PACT Act. Is Republican supporting of the Troops a Fraud? Why are the military and law enforcement placed in untenable positions? What is 6Triple8?  Who are the first kids to enter the juvenile justice system? Is there an over-criminalization of young people? Does it affect recruiting efforts of our military? 

The recent spat of legislation in Congress pertaining to Women's rights and Roe vs. Wade, Congressman Lamborn has voted against. Congressman Lamborn is pro-life for himself but not you. According to Lamborn, Veteran's medical is too expensive and votes against helping our Veterans. There's a discussion on Separation of Church & State. What is the PACT Act? Do you know what's in the Tea Party/Republican platform?

A candid Q& A w/ John Foley. John Foley discusses his position on the oath of office for the El Paso County Sheriff and the Red Flag law. Mental health for deputies and prisoners alike. Suicide. Drug and Alcohol abuse. Domestic abuse.

A candid Q&A with candidate David Torres. The panel grills Mr. Torres on healthcare, what the Colorado Congressional 5th needs, reaching out to ALL constituents, anti-trust, and other topics. The panel is not lobbing softballs. This is an honest and candid discussion.

Mt. Carmel, Care & Share, and Feed America are taking care of our troops and their food insecurities. Where is Congressman Lamborn? Better yet, Where is YOUR congressman? Nowhere to be found. Is cheap money exacerbating the housing  problem for our Junior Enlisted and their families? What politicians are looking for solutions and delivering on them?  Could a pay raise for Veterans and Retirees spawn investments in other areas and industries? 

Is refusing a direct order affect the readiness of a military unit? Does military readiness take precedence? Medical readiness? Could those objectors fall under a certain political philosophy that is NOT compatible with a military organization? Are local churches connected to Militia groups? Armchair constitutionalists. Are these people who cannot see the future and want to live some fantasy thinking that things will be ok with a oligarch/theological leadership? Can you name a country that has survived under an oligarch/theological leadership that benefited its people?

With the passage of the PACT legislation, VA benefits are expanded to include Viet Nam Veterans. No waiting another 50 years. Are policies preventing studies that will improve healthcare for Veterans and retirees? Is the VA healthcare system an early warning system for society at large? AKA "The Canary in the Coalmine." The Space force is discussed looking at the financial impact to Colorado Springs. Will the impact be monetary or psychological if it stays or goes? We couldn't help ourselves. We put Congressman Lamborn in our sites and it wasn't pretty. He continues voting against the troops and, would you believe it, children. 

Is Putin now a political liability? Why did he invade Ukraine? Has his "Friendship Policy" with China worked out? The Russian military appears to be outmoded and obsolete. With China's economic ties to Taiwan, will they proceed cautiously? Is it necessary to win the political objective or only the war? Does the U.S. and the rest of the world need to re-think a different way of dealing with Russia? 

We've lost the veterans from the "Greatest Generation" in Congress who have served as guides into the late 20th century. Isn't it time we replaced them with veterans from the current generation. Should veterans run for political office at the local, county, state, and federal levels? Will they bring what is really needed to our political establishments: Leadership? Do the current crop of politicians really represent their constituents or are they worried about their next election and their moneyed donors with their siloed mentality? Do political strategists really bring anything to the table for the candidates they support?  What is the most trusted government organization? What does the military teach us?
