Marc Thiessen, a self-described, “rock-ribbed conservative” in a column that appeared in yesterday’s Colorado Springs Gazette, wrote a piece entitled, “Our fellow Americans who disagree with us are not our enemies.” He starts by citing certain insults hurled at liberals by Rick Saccone when running in Pennsylvania's recent special election. Mr. Saccone claimed that liberals hate America and hate God. Mr. Thiessen then describes his mother (you will see how extraordinary she is as a person and a patriot when you read the article) as a liberal Democrat who voted for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. He goes on to say, “We disagree about politics, but we both love America and want to make this country great. We just have different idea about the best ways to do it.” Bingo. My recent podcast, “Choosing Up Sides” could have been the setup piece for Mr. Thiessen’s article. My favorite people are the ones who are good at what they do, but do not take themselves seriously. People who argue by insult and cliche are the opposite. Lincoln, FDR and Churchill each had the confidence and wisdom to have a “team of rivals” as their cabinets and advisors. They and their countries benefited. For some, jumping to conclusions is an Olympic sport. Once, we were able to engage in passionate but reasoned debate. Loud and argumentative, but not ad hominem. Where once we had duels “Pistols at 20 paces”, it is now “Insults and curses at 20 paces.” Will Luden, writing from my home office at 7,200’ in Colorado Springs.

You know those news stories where they gather a group of "regular Americans" around a kitchen table to ask them what issues are most important to them? What if we broke down one of those stories from NPR (https://one.npr.org/?sharedMediaId=590670040:590670101) and told you there's actually a lot more going on in their discussions than their supposed focus on the issues? How would you like to be able to read between the lines of their language patterns to uncover the connections their minds are actually making on a deeper level? That is, on a subconscious level. And why is it we can start talking to those around us about policies and issues but wind up instead talking past each other, making no progress?

The whole Pod is back together, but so many things happened this week that the episode went far deeper than basketball. It started completely off the rails with reactions on Connor Lamb "trumping" Rick Saccone in PA-18's special election, along with some other notable stories in the political stratosphere. We got slightly back on track with this week's best (college) basketball story: #16 UMBC defeating #1 UVA. Kyle Wood (#CousinKyle #ProudRetriever) joined the program to provide insight on what it was like to watch his relatively unknown alma mater become Cinderella. When The Pod finally got around to NBA basketball, it discussed DeMar Derozan's, Kevin Love's, and Kelly Oubre, Jr.'s recent admissions to dealing with anxiety and depression as professional athletes, and reacted to Kobe Bryant's Oscar in the context of the #MeToo/#TimesUp Movement. The show wrapped up with the best of basketball internet, covered some high quality data, dove deep into the mailbag, and returned to the Trust Index.    ***This episode was sponsored by Tommy Turnover #MendingFences #WhatDoesntKillUsMakesUsStronger #NeverForget #VinoPod*** OFFICIAL SHOTTAKES SPONSORSHIP: The William & Mary Public Service Fund is hosting its annual Student-Faculty Basketball Game on Friday, March 24 at 4:30pm at the Walshingham Academy.

On this episode of Fault Lines, hosts Garland Nixon and Lee Stranahan will analyze the firing of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, and the promotion of Mike Pompeo to take Tillerson's place, and Gina Haspel to replace Pompeo as CIA Director. What will this change mean regarding U.S. policies toward North Korea, Syria, Israel, Europe, Iran, Russia, and China—will the chances for war increase? Considering the unprecedented and unpresidential turnover, is this a sign the Trump Administration is in turmoil?Fault Lines hosts and guests will discuss the narrow lead the Democrat Conor Lamb holds over his Republican challenger Rick Saccone in the Pennsylvania special congressional election. FOX news reports, “the close margin was another setback for the president following Democratic Sen. Doug Jones' victory in Alabama's special election in December.” Considering that Trump won this district by 20% in 2016, is this a bellwether for the November midterms? Are Democrats poised for a historic “Blue Wave” election?Hosts and guests will also evaluate a possible meeting between North Korean Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump; guilty verdicts in the Percoco corruption trial; defamation accusations against Lee and guest Jim Hoft; the “Gig” Economy; and presumptive CIA Director Gina Haspel's record regarding torture and destruction of evidence—as well as other important news and issues in the “Divided States of America.”Scheduled Guests–subject to change: Matt Stiles, LA Times Correspondent | Topic: Possible Trump/Kim Summit Meeting Dominic Carter, Veteran Legal Reporter | Topic: Guilty Verdicts in the Percoco Corruption TrialJim Hoft | Topic: The Defamation Allegations Against Lee and Jim HoftMark Frost, Economist | Topic: The “Gig” EconomyJohn Kiriakou, CIA Whistleblower, Cohost of “Loud And Clear” Radio Show | Topic: Gina Haspel, Trump's announced nominee for CIA Director

Max hits his stride for his Wednesday evening show when he encourages Donald Trump to create the Space Force, an idea that seemed to please the Trumpster no end.  Then Max goes back to the well once more that is known as Stormy Daniels, because as we know this supposedly has nothing to do with Trump or the Trump organization, then come to find out that the latest injunction against Stormy Daniels was signed by a top lawyer from the Trump Organization, who claimed to be acting in a personal capacity. Wow. How is it that Donald Trump seems to get lawyers to do things for him out the goodness of their hearts?  Then Max digs into the recent election in Pennsylvania with Coner Lamb where it turns out that the so-called middle class tax cuts, were surprise, surprise, not resonating with the voters.  Apparently the reason the GOP lost, according to the GOP themselves, was that Lamb ran as a Republican. Whatever makes you feel better guys. Finally Max is surprised to find out that Trump's new economic czar does not in fact have an economics background. Who'd thunk it. 

Conor Lamb spoke to his supporters just before 12:45 a.m. as absentee votes were still being counted.“It took longer than we thought, but we did it,” he said, even though results had not yet been released.kDKA TV The unofficial total for absentee ballots in Washington County, shows Democrat Conor Lamb with 609 votes and Republican Rick Saccone, 547. Democrats, meanwhile, may say that Mr. Lamb has shown that candidates can be competitive in districts won by Mr. Trump. Terry Madonna, a veteran pollster at Franklin & Marshall College, said, “Moving forward, that tells Democrats that in districts Trump won by 8, 10, 12 even 20 points not to nationalize the race.” Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald praised the candidate. "Conor is a great candidate and he ran a great campaign. ... I've never seen a campaign with so much grassroots enthusiasm."Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Dr. Wilmer Leon, a political scientist and author, and he’s the host of a nationally broadcast talk radio show on Sirius/XM channel 126; by Daniel Lazare, a journalist and author of The Frozen Republic, The Velvet Coup, and America's Undeclared War; and by Dave Lindorff, an investigative reporter, a columnist for CounterPunch, and a contributor to Businessweek, The Nation, Extra! and Salon.com.Democrat Conor Lamb came out of yesterday’s special election in Pennsylvania with a razor thin lead over Republican Rick Saccone, 49.8 percent to 49.6 percent, a difference of only 641 votes. Election officials are now counting absentee and provisional ballots, but most news networks already have called the race for Lamb. We’ll look at what this means for both parties as we approach the midterm elections. Brian and John continue our regular segment where we look at nuclear issues, including weapons, energy, waste, and the future of nuclear technology in the United States. Greg Mello, the executive director of the Los Alamos Study Group, and Kevin Kamps, the Radioactive Waste Watchdog at the organization Beyond Nuclear, join the show. British Prime Minister Theresa May announced this morning that she will expel 23 Russian diplomats in response to the poisoning of a Russian double agent in the UK. May declined to offer any evidence of Russian involvement in the poisoning during question time in parliament, and Scotland Yard has said only that a nerve agent was used. Brian and John speak with legendary anti-war activist and former British parliamentarian George Galloway. President Donald Trump was in California yesterday to personally inspect prototype sections of what would be a new border wall. He also took the opportunity to insult Governor Jerry Brown and the people of California for not supporting him in his immigration crackdown. Carolyn Gomez, an organizer with the National Union of Healthcare Workers, joins the show. Defense Secretary James Mattis arrived in Afghanistan yesterday to meet with senior US and Afghan officials and to discuss the possibility of peace talks with elements of the Taliban. Mattis told the press that the Taliban leadership has developed cracks in its unity in recent years and that now is the time to begin talking about the terms of peace. Brian Terrell, a long time peace activist and a co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence, joins Brian and John. Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said today that his country will immediately withdraw its ratification of the International Criminal Court’s establishing treaty. This move comes amid a wave of repressive violence targeting journalists, activists and the poor. Adrian Bonifacio, National Chairperson of Anakbayan-USA, joins the show.Congressional legislation was considered this week based on so-called “right to try” laws in several states. These laws allow terminally ill patients to immediately access any experimental treatments that aren’t already approved by the FDA. However, over 99% of applications to the FDA are approved, usually within days of applications, and this dangerous idea will lead to human experimentation in addition to other harmful ills. Brian and John speak with Mark Harrington, the Executive Director of the Treatment Action Group.

Conor Lamb holds a small advantage over Rick Saccone in PA-18 as absentee votes are being counted. Lamb likely the winner, but still not a lock as the winner will prevail by only a few hundred votes. CNN: "The race is a toss-up. But the narrative is a lock." Absolutely right. The narrative is that Republicans should be terrified in the 2018 midterms. And that voters are casting a referendum on Trump. And his ideas. And his Party. Oh - and the news is not good. Republicans should pay attention and learn from this, but this is not time to panic. Democrat agenda wasn't on the ballot in PA-18 as Lamb ran as a Moderate - or even as a Republican. Pro 2nd Amendment. Against Nancy Pelosi leadership. But let's watch what he does in DC. Odds are that he falls in line and supports the radical Leftist agenda. Why support a candidate with next to no chance of winning - clearing way for Leftists to gain more control. Watching last night's results reminded me of what it was like to wait for returns when I won school board election in 2000. Student and teachers to protest today.

The Let's Hash It Out crew calls the Pennsylvania District 18 special election for Conor Lamb who appears to have eked out a victory over Republican Rick Saccone by 579 votes. There are some absentee ballots to count and a potential recount and lawsuit or two, but we're willing to do what the mainstream media won't. Also, Con Man Donald Trump continues his chaos presidency by firing Secretary of State Rex Tillerson via Twitter.

Rick Saccone sensed a closer than expected 18th Congressional District race in Pennsylvania's Special Election. “They hate America. They hate God.”  Reactionary. Rather than touting his vision, goals and plans the moment he realized he might lose where President Trump won by more than 20 percentage points, Rick Saccone … Continue reading The post Micheal Gerson on Evangelicals Provokes David French: A Conversation with Greg Horton appeared first on patheological: The Podcast for the Pastor-Theologian.

Tuesday night was a big one for Democrats. In a southwestern Pennsylvania district that Trump won by 20 points in 2016, voters appear to have elected Democrat Conor Lamb to fill a vacant House seat — a huge upset for President Trump and the Republican party. The race has still not been officially called, but barring a recount, Lamb has a small but insurmountable lead over Republican Rick Saccone.

The special election in Pennsylvania’s 18th district remains somewhat unsettled. The New York Times officially called the election for Democratic candidate Conor Lamb, who leads Republican candidate Rick Saccone by mere hundreds of votes. Many in the GOP, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, said Lamb won because he ran more like a Republican than a Democrat and that Dems won't be able to replicate Lamb’s strategy nationally in November. Ed Henry, chief national correspondent for Fox News, discusses why Conor Lamb's expected win in PA-18 represents a challenging rift for House Democrats and the party at large. Career counterintelligence officer Malcolm Nance explains the severity of the Russian-orchestrated nerve agent attack in the United Kingdom and his frustration with President Trump continuing to downplay such aggressive and egregious Russian behavior.

A special election in Pennsylvania on Tuesday is garnering an unusual amount of national attention. It's for a House seat in PA-18, a deeply Republican district that Trump won by 20 points in 2016.

Millions of dollars in outside spending have engulfed Tuesday’s heated special election to fill Pennsylvania’s 18th congressional district, and 86 percent has benefited the Republican candidate, state Rep. Rick Saccone. Providing a sizeable chunk of the money behind this election’s spending is a very familiar conservative donor family that would like to keep a small-government conservative in the district: the billionaire Koch family. Hour 2:  Cenk & Ana. In a rare interview on Sunday night, DeVos revealed that she still has a poor grasp on these subjects. There were plenty of cringe-inducing moments during the 13-minute 60 Minutes segment, from DeVos opting not to say whether she thinks the number of false accusations of sexual assault is as high as the number of actual assaults, to her declaration that the federal government has “invested billions and billions and billions of dollars from the federal level, and we have seen zero results.” Learn more about your ad choices.

On our show today we talk about our National Motto, In God We Trust. It’s funny how some people freak out when they hear any trace of God. Our guest said he went into a public school near Halloween, he said he saw witches on brooms, Dracula with blood dripping from his teeth, zombies ghouls and goblins. He saw every ghost, but the Holy Ghost because He’s not allowed in. And you tell me none of that traumatized our children, but you think the National Motto will traumatize our children? It’s time for us to stop being ignorant. The National Motto was designed to unify our Country. On our show today, you’ll hear why. Today, we interview Rick Saccone. Rick currently serves in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. Rick was born in 1958, served in the Air Force and was elected to the Pennsylvania House in 2010, where he is currently serving. If you want to learn more, you can go to www.inGodweTrustpa.org or www.inGodweTrust-America.org. The post Our National Motto appeared first on Home Front with Cynthia Davis.
