We look into the murky waters of political dishonesty prevalent during the current election cycle, particularly focusing on the blatant lies propagated in political advertisements. With election day swiftly approaching, it's easy to lose sight of the facts amidst the barrage of misleading ads from large PACs like the Congressional Leadership Fund and American Prosperity Fund. Unlike other forms of advertising that are subject to regulatory scrutiny, political ads enjoy the protections of the First Amendment, allowing candidates to misrepresent facts without penalty.Then we look at the recent vice presidential debate, which we approach with skepticism, arguing that these events are mere vehicles for candidates to produce soundbites for future commercials rather than genuine discussions of policy. C.F. Vance's performance is scrutinized, particularly his fabrications regarding Trump's stance on Obamacare. The focus shifts to Trump's ongoing legal battles, highlighting the critical distinction made by prosecutor Jack Smith about what constitutes official actions versus private actions in the context of election interference. It's crucial for voters to grasp that the president's attempts to influence the election were not part of his official duties—a point we argue could play a significant role in the upcoming election.Next we grapple with the aftermath of a devastating hurricane that recently struck Florida and made its way through the southeast. The political ramifications of disaster recovery aid, particularly the outrage from conservatives about federal assistance, are examined. We  clarify the purpose of the $750 immediate assistance offered by FEMA, juxtaposing it against the broader and more complex recovery efforts needing more time to be processed. This sense of urgency is contrasted with the indifference displayed by congressional leaders who postpone aid packages for political gain.Lastly, we celebrate a recent victory for school districts standing up against LifeWise Academy — an evangelical initiative that seeks to impose religious instruction during the school day, rather than as an extracurricular activity. We break down the controversy surrounding a school board in Westerville, Ohio, which voted to rescind its policy that allowed LifeWise to operate during school hours. This decision was driven not only by concerns over curriculum disruption and liability but also by broader implications about maintaining the secular integrity of public education. LifeWise's attempts to portray itself as a victim of circumstance and its extensive funding sources underscore the lengths to which such organizations will go to infiltrate public schools.Full Show Notes plus LinksSend us a textSupport the showSubscribe to our free newsletterCheck out our MerchFind us on Twitter(for now) Find us on InstagramFind us on Counter SocialFind us on Mastadon

Westerville is a northeastern suburb of Columbus, capital of the state of Ohio, and home to nearly 40,000 people. In 2007, the city began planning expansion of an existing government fiber network to support smart-grid applications. (Like many smaller US cities, it owns its own electric utility.) The planning process revealed a lack of affordable choices for broadband and data center services. That ultimately led City Council to found WeConnect: an underground fiber network connected to a community-owned data center and delivering 100 Gbps connectivity to municipal service providers, businesses, schools, the local university and research institutes.

John T. “Ted” Mosure of Westerville is a 69-year-old Vietnam War veteran who was part of the U.S. Navy SEAL Team 1 at Naval Amphibious Base Coronado in Coronado, California. An Ohio State University student at the time, he enlisted in February 1968, shortly after the Tet Offensive – a North Vietnamese campaign of roughly 85,000 troops whose mission was to destroy larger South Vietnamese cities and annihilate U.S. troops. In 1969, Mosure joined SEAL Team 1’s Kilo platoon, which comprised two officers and 12 enlisted men, split into two squads, he said. During pre-deployment training, the platoon practiced patrol tactics, using live-fire maneuvering and practicing hand signals and radio communication with support elements. The platoon also learned to detect and disable explosive devices. Upon arrival in Vietnam in July 1969, Mosure was stationed primarily in the Mekong Delta region and worked with the LDNN (Lien Doi Nguoi Nhai), which Mosure described as the Vietnamese equivalent of SEALs. The Kilo platoon, which Mosure described as a direct-action platoon, performed raids and ambushes. His primary mission, he said, involved finding and engaging Vietcong leaders. Mosure was aboard the Seafloat, a large Mobile Advanced Tactical Support Base stationed on the Song Cau Lon River in Ca Maul Province, on the southern tip of Vietnam. The area was remote and secluded but was within a stronghold of North Vietnamese and Vietcong fighters. “We would typically go out at night after dark and arrive on our location,” he said. “We’d get inserted by boat and arrive on location after patrolling 1,000 to 1,500 meters. ... Then we would set up for an ambush or to snatch the target.” In addition to facing an enemy, Mosure’s unit had to contend with Vietnam’s wildlife. Mosure recalled lungfish, which he described as 8 to 15 inches long with a head like a grasshopper that would skitter across mudflats, sometimes over SEALs’ legs. He also endured more than 50 leeches while on an ambush mission one night, and on another occasion, he bumped into a water buffalo. He and others in his unit would patrol closely together so they could reach out to each other every few steps. “All of a sudden, I bumped into just a huge mass of muscle with a big low grunt, and that wasn’t in my awareness,” he said. He said he remained quiet and walked around the buffalo, which didn’t move but grunted and continued “eating whatever it’s eating.” Mosure returned to California in February 1971 and left active duty as a signalman 3rd class that November. Mosure’s decorations include the Navy Combat Action Ribbon, the National Defense Service Medal, the Presidential Unit Citation, the Vietnam Service Medal, the Vietnam Campaign Medal, the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross, the Navy and Marine Corps Parachutist Insignia and marksmanship medals for rifle and pistol expertise. Mosure was born and raised primarily in Columbus and attended DeSales High School before graduating from Brookhaven High School. He and Linda, his wife of 47 years, have a son and daughter and six grandchildren. Mosure’s post-military career includes jobs in the grocery industry while attending Franklin University and later a position at a food-brokerage firm. He is a co-founder and board member of the Ohio Military Hall of Fame, which honors veterans and active-duty military personnel for specific acts of bravery in combat and on the battlefield.
