The John T. DeLaMater Podcast

This is a simple greeting mainly for family and friends with uplifting thoughts despite some challenges, including the Canadian wildfires that have affected those here in the Adirondack Mountains as well as other parts of the United States. All is well despite some recent challenges met and overcome, as this recording takes place on a beautiful Sunday morning in a little cottage tucked somewhere u...

If you watch national news at all you likely are aware of the young former marine who was charged with homicide for his action on a New York City subway. Daniel Penny, a distinguished veteran of the United States Marine Corps, was a passenger on the subway this one fateful day. The subway had a good number of passengers of various races and backgrounds, one or more who would later refer to Penny a...

I want to extend my sincere appreciation to all military members and families, past and present, for their contribution to our country, the United States of America. In this segment I list the numerous family members of my own family who have served from the Civil War to the present in five branches of the US military. I offer this list primarily as a record for present family and family yet to be...

I am so saddened every time I hear of an innocent young woman being savaged by an evil predator as in the case I speak of in the audible of this segment. With a full life ahead, one with so much promise . . . a beautiful life comes to a sad ending. Though I have spoken on the subject of violence in great depth in this format and in my book, I understand human nature. Realistically, women do their...

One cannot live a "lie" forever for the truth will, as they say, "rear its ugly head." Herein, Democrat leaders such as Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Eric Adams, mayor of New York City, are in a panic over the influx of illegal immigrants into their cities. Both see their cities to be in a state of emergency. Both want federal government help. Yet both in the past, proudly s...

So many good, honest Americans in the know, citizens who view or study what is going on all about us, are very alarmed, and for good reason. Our wonderful country, as founded on Godly principles, is little by little, being torn apart from within. The lies and deceit we see in our federal government regarding true and impartial justice are blatant. The lies, deceit, and coverups we see within our m...

In this segment I talk mainly on the Daniel Perry murder case where Perry was convicted of murder in Austin, Texas. Important, is to understand some basics to this case and how situations like this could affect you, me--anyone, in the future. Imagine yourself, perhaps a family member, having to defend himself or herself one day from an attack or perceived attack! Such attacks on people are on the...

The left continues down its soft on crime policy direction. If this direction is not reversed serious consequences are just around the corner whereas everyone will feel the pain, even those presently sensing some semblance of safety and security. Additionally, the left has successfully polluted the minds of all too many of our young. Little-by-little, this is resulting in our society moving closer...

Former President Donald Trump was just indicted by liberal Democrat District Attorney Alvin Bragg in Manhattan. DA Bragg reportedly is another George Soros funded district attorney. His soft on crime approach has resulted in hardened criminals being freed to attack innocent people in the streets of New York. Convicted felons with long rap sheets have committed horrific crimes since Bragg took offi...

This audio topic is one about DEI, a fraud being put upon American culture. I speak of this topic as it has garnered much news of recent and because it is such a destructive force, much like a slow growing cancer. The esteemed Laura Ingraham had a recent show on this subject. I recommend you bring up the show on the internet and listen to her presentation. It is well worth listening to and is well...

There is the old saying "history is our best teacher," or "greatest teacher." We can apply this to any number of past events with a great deal of conviction. When it comes to people, the history of each can be quite telling. Now, on the topic of climate change, we would do well considering factual statements made by a good number of those claiming knowledge, experience, or expe...

My friends, we continue to weaken ourselves as a country despite what you might think or believe.  Economically our future is looking dim with trillions of dollars being spent, much of it a total waste.  I shudder when I think of the world my family may come to know in just a few short years.  I shudder when I think of the military threats ahead of us because of weak leadership and...

For each and every one of us the past two years have been like none we have ever seen.  We were affected by mandatory mask wearing, closures of businesses, schools, colleges, restaurants, stores, and beyond.  We were limited in ways we never thought possible.  We were lied to over and over again.  In many cases we were forced to get vaccinations by companies and government agen...

This segment is significant, perhaps one of the most important I have put out to date.  Why?  Because if you listen to and view a program I speak of, you will likely learn much about strength, leadership, direction, and the America we should strive for.  To the opposite you will see folly, lies, and misdirection that have already affected each and every one of us with more to come....

The topic of self-defense is about as important as any I could possibly talk to you about.  Regardless of who you are--male, female, young, middle aged, or older you will think about this subject one time or another throughout life.  Some will address the subject in thought when they have a fear of a person or persons.  Others may live or work in an area where they feel unsafe or ha...

The Chinese spy balloon that floated across the United States from Alaska to South Carolina just days ago, before being shot down over the Atlantic Ocean by the US military, is one of the greatest leadership blunders of all time.  The lack of leadership from President Biden stares us in the face as the Chinese Communist Party gave our president the middle finger.  The balloon, the size o...

In this segment I think much about a number of topics, far too many to discuss in any detail.  As for a big tragedy this week, the police killing in Memphis ranks at the top.  Five rogue police officers were charged with murder and the public is outraged after seeing camera footage of the continual beating and mistreatment of a black man in his late 20's, who later died of his injuries....

With crime creeping upward and no end in sight it is crucial that American men and women alike take time to better learn and understand what is happening and why.  The root causes of this surge and what can be done to better protect our loved ones and ourselves should be on the minds of every single American adult.  It gives me no pleasure reporting to you my concerns, but I feel compell...

In my nice suburban neighborhood, one where my wife and I decided to move for various reasons--safety and security among them--we still have the occasional crime occur, most often related to property.  The very best of areas throughout our nation surely have similar property crimes from time to time--just a fact.  I know this from my many years of being a police officer in two states and...

As we watch hundreds of private jets, 500 to over 1000, according to various accounts, flying into Swiss airports for the climate change summit, we see hypocrisy, big time, staring us in the face.  These millionaires and billionaires fly around the world emitting a far greater carbon footprint than the average human being will do in a lifetime.  Many of these phonies found a religion, a...

The Biden top secret documents scandal continues and is the lead topic in the eyes of many.  This will be in the news for some time as investigations are underway.  The attorney general was forced to hire an independent council to look into why classified documents were in Joe Biden's garage sitting next to his Corvette and others found in a room within the house.  These documents w...

Do not be one who is uninformed as to what is occurring all about us.  There are numerous challenges ahead and each of us needs to see for ourselves what these challenges are.  This is very important, I assure you.  Listed in this segment are my suggestions as to how you can better your understanding of very important topics.  Please, trust me on this.  Your life and the l...

Much is trending this new year; the problems we face are many.  The one big thing that needs to be done by each and every adult is to better inform ourselves of what is happening all about us.  I want to talk more about this in the next segment.  

With Christmas Eve tomorrow preceding Christmas day on Sunday, I have the good fortune of being with those I care most about, family.  For this I am grateful.  I would add that each of us need always to remember the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ.  We must not allow this truth to be watered down by those wanting to change the historical foundation of our great...

This episode is from the heart to family.  At the same time, it should be noted, the content herein can be of benefit to any listener as thoughts put forth are solid and fully understandable.  The true meaning of Christmas prompts this message to loved ones of present and those not yet born who might one day listen to this very episode!  It brings a message of hope that each and eve...
