Welcome to the Political Free Agents with John C Bland II. We're here to expose the hypocrisy, corruption, and sameness of both parties while spreading the ideas of liberty with the single goal of changing our world. No one has all of the answers, but we have a specific viewpoint from being former…
Georgia decided the best way to keep Georgia red is to change the rules to benefit their base.
Two mass shootings this month means they are definitely going to fire up gun regulation. Watch out for the manipulation in how these shootings are being covered, though. It is important to recognize game when it is in your face otherwise you'll get manipulated into these narratives.The border isn't being talked about in the same way either. Watch the narratives they push there. We break all of these narratives down to the break pads!
The reparations debate continues to happen yet it shouldn't even be a debate. Here is why.

Amidst the freeze happening in Texas, Republicans scrambled for talking points to deflect their failures in managing our electric grid. They've bashed Dems, rightfully so in some cases, for their mismanagement in other states then tried to deflect to green energy being the failure in a red state. This was fully expected yet we breakdown their many lies to just the facts.References:https://coinmarketcap.comhttps://www.axios.com/gamestop-short-bets-decline-102dbb9e-5700-4a43-b221-0a13d8f2cee2.htmlhttps://www.axios.com/global-debt-gdp-898959ed-f96a-4c4d-85a3-5d3cc419631f.htmlhttps://www.axios.com/merrick-garland-attorney-general-hearing-statement-ba6d4d1b-b393-45ce-af7a-588687834d51.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Hamptonhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Coalition_(Fred_Hampton)https://www.hbomax.com/judas-and-the-black-messiahhttps://www.texastribune.org/2021/02/16/natural-gas-power-storm/amp/https://www.axios.com/texas-winter-storm-energy-bills-spike-inquiry-f341acbc-076b-4e80-8748-8740d71b3f6a.htmlhttps://www.axios.com/biden-disaster-declaration-texas-winter-storms-f6e57a23-1f59-4d3f-a251-d0e6361316cf.htmlhttps://www.axios.com/texas-power-electricity-natural-gas-4b28071a-30b7-4e57-9639-a91aebbacc8f.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/02/19/climate/texas-storm-power-generation-charts.htmlhttps://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/investigates/30-years-of-warnings-to-winterize-texas-power-plants-yet-they-still-froze-will-austin-finally-require-it/287-20540908-dbce-4e17-90a3-19aa4f4f4690https://twitter.com/GregAbbott_TX/status/1361398774216744967https://www.axios.com/ted-cruz-cancun-texas-power-outage-4db50ae3-5f40-408b-9ee1-efe1478928ad.htmlhttps://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1334261492833771520https://twitter.com/johncblandii/status/1361845933089128452https://twitter.com/johncblandii/status/1361845483778547721https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1363260562822471681
Partisanship wins in these cases. It was inevitable as we've stated time and time again here.Bitcoin is seeing an explosion and there is potential we will see more cases where it is used for more than a HODL like in Miami. Jack and Jay-Z are also funding a trust to help spur the development of Bitcoin as well; which is critical to it growing beyond a HODL.Puerto Rico statehood is a shot across the Republican bow or at least that's their core concern. This party system has become so corrupt it is mostly concerned about losing votes than it is what is best for the country.
Hannah Cox joins us to talk about policies affecting America and how we move forward outside of the partisan divide.This is the Ron Paul interview we referenced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyV9Owe3ojA
Friday, February 5th, 2021 we lost one of the realest I've met to COVID. Ryan Jones was raw and uncut in his convictions so when he was on your side you felt the love. If you crossed him, you didn't have to guess because he'd tell you.As a father, I watched him raise two boys alone until he met his now wife Alisa. It had a tremendous impact on my life seeing a man cut for his kids before himself. This would come in handy years later when I found myself in the same situation.He's going to be greatly missed. It is going to forever hurt knowing all of the conversations we'll miss out on. His family gained one of the best guardian angels you could ever ask for.This is the meal train to help the family. No obligation here. If you can, we would greatly appreciate it: https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/0o4zo3

It never ceases to amaze me how far politicians will go to meet their own desire for power. Georgia is also having their vote tonight so we'll know the structure of Congress at some point tonight.
These parties support their agendas tough until it boils down to it and they'll flake on anything just like they're doing now with this "socialist" agenda for COVID relief.
COVID vaccines are rolling, but the relief...not so much. The government will meet tomorrow and hopefully come to a deal suitable for all Americans.Nashville suffered a bombing this week that looks to be domestic terrorism.Trump is passing out pardons and one in particular cracked us up.
A stimulus deal was reached and we walk through what it means for the people. Trump also pardoned some folks and wait for it as more are coming.
Certain Americans tend to think personal responsibility is ever-so-important when it comes to receiving help yet ignore how people got into a particular situation and how the government complete obliterates personal responsibility for themselves and big business.
