Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff has been to both conventions for the last twenty years. And for a political nerd and activist like him, they're always fascinating, sometimes fun, occasionally frightening, frequently historic, and often frustrating. Especially since they're dominated by the rich, the powerful, and the connected. And especially now—as 51% of the country is not a Democrat or Republican. So this week, he's got a low bar. He just wants to see something positive and honest that he can actually watch with his kids. Something that tries to unite and speak to all Americans. Something that shows a better face of America to the world. And something that moves people who need to be moved. It can't be a victory lap. It's gotta be the best sales pitch/infomercial ever. Because after this week ends, it's gonna be back to nasty, divisive, infinitely precarious, and full of potentially bad surprises. There's an immeasurable amount of work ahead. To beat Donald Trump. But also to move, heal and grow America afterward. And to face all the challenges—foreign and domestic that loom. For these guys. And for all our children. And that's gonna take all of us. Democrats, Republicans and Independents. Every episode of Independent Americans is independent light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It's content for the 51% of Americans that now call themselves independent. Always with a unique focus on national security, foreign affairs and military and vets issues. This is another pod to help you stay vigilant. Because vigilance is the price of democracy. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics and inspiration. -Get extra content, connect with guests, events, merch discounts and support this show that speaks truth to power by joining us on Patreon. -Read about the CMOH, and teach yourself and the children around you: https://www.cmohs.org/ This is our history and it must be understood, respected and built on. -Check #LookForTheHelpers on Twitter.

Alberta is seeing seismic changes to it's healthcare system and the implications can be a bit overwhelming. To try and make sense of the changes that Danielle Smith and the UCP are implementing and threatening to implement, we sat down with an expert in the field of health law, Dr. Lorian Hardcastle! Lorian Hardcastle is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Calgary, with a joint appointment to the Department of Community Health Sciences in the Cumming School of Medicine. Lorian obtained her JD with Health Law and Policy Specialization Certificate from Dalhousie University, and her LLM and SJD from the University of Toronto, and in this episode she helps us navigate what the changes to the role of CMOH, forced treatment and the implosion of AHS and the profitization of healthcare delivery mean for Albertans. Plus we now have merch that's available at www.abpoli.ca, including a fall lineup!

Chris Scott & Rebecca Ingram (from the Ingram Case that Justice Romaine's ruling that the CMOH orders were ultra vires) have launched a Class Action Law Suit against the Alberta Government for any business owners that have suffered financial hardship during the COVID lockdowns.Jeffrey Rath from Rath & Company delivers a press conference in Calgary.Chris & Kerry are also on the Lavigne Show discussing the case and how their friendship started and their plan to save Alberta.Sept 19, 2023
Chris says todays acquittal was great. I no longer have THIS portion of grey cloud over my head, in which I was under the threat of huge fines and prosecution. The real battle lies ahead in the near distance. We've been alerted to the potential storm, the potential impacts to our rights, freedoms and privileges. Now it's time to act. Do you all realize that we live constantly under threat of having our rights stripped from us, by bureaucrats , with little to no accountability for them? I have a problem with that and so should you.Chris & Kerry are joined by constitutional lawyer, Jeffrey Rath, who was monumental in Justice B.E. Romaine's decision that the CMOH orders were ultra vires and therefore illegal, which had profound implications in Chris's case and others across Alberta.

There's a pediatric health crisis in Alberta and with it a major shortage of children's tylenol (acetaminophen) and childrens ibuprofen. On Monday Danielle Smith announced that she had arranged for the purchase of 5 Million bottle of children's acetaminophen and ibuprofen. Only problem is, the company that she bought it from doesn't make it yet, they aren't legally allowed to seek drugs Canada yet, and many estimates put the drugs arriving in the spring of 2023. Plus the press conference was a disaster. So with the help of Sarah Biggs, we break down all of that, the recent resignation of two deputy CMOH's and we have a special visit from our newest pawlitical analyst!

If the current government isn't at least a little upset at the AG report the AG is probably not doing their job AND: Masks will once again be required in Hamilton public schoolsWhat is happening here?! If it's not a mandate then you're just rehashing a uSELESS press conference from the CMOH of Ontario from weeks ago where he gave advice even HE didn't follow
Look, it didn't happen. Okay - it probably didn't happen. But if it did happen, there would be some big-time strategic decisions to make. Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter talk about the decisions the Alberta UCP government would have to make if they had accidentally appointed the wrong Dr. Joffe as Chief Medical Officer of Health. Would they reverse course? Would they find a way to lean into it? What would the risks be of either decision and how would the government try to mitigate against them? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line. Get Thursday episodes and bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A force of over 200 had launched an assault using grenades, machine guns, and small arms fire, engulfing the Observation Post and inflicting heavy casualties. Although seriously wounded, Sergeant Pitts took control of the post and returned fire on the enemy. Unable to stand on his own and near death, he continued to lay suppressive fire until a reinforcement team arrived. Sergeant Pitts assisted the team by giving up his main weapon and gathering ammunition while continually lobbing fragmentary grenades.
