Plausibly Live - The Dave Bowman Show

"Best of" from 2018 The SHOW NOTES

It didn’t take long did it? Even the President got in on the talking  point. Expect to hear even more of it over the weekend. Homeless Vets  are often used as a reason to oppose illegal immigration. But should  they be? The solution to political violence is to make the other side  just shut up. Right? The Time change is upon us. Commence the typical  whining of people who...

I  feel like Halloween was dying, but now it’s not. The arguments over the  14th Amendment continue, but as usual, most people are ignoring the  real issue. And fear is silencing people. It must not. Because the  lesson is that silence will not save you.

October  31 is many things to people. Yes, it’s Halloween and my kids and grand kids are excited. Yes, it has religious significance. Yes, it means  the calendar is about to turn to bleak November. But it is my favorite  day of the year. Just breath in and you’ll understand why…

There  was a time in this country with the legal concept of jus soli. Then the  Supreme Court decided that was not acceptable. Because it would mean  that people born here would become automatically become citizens.

There  is much on my mind today. More than words will adequately express. But, I will try. We will look at hatred. History. And we will continue to  hope.

Vacation 2018 has ended. It was marvelous and it has led me to a personal decision about my own future. John McCain passes away, I say what I have always said about him: He was a politician. Anti-Vaxxers are the latest manifestation of the Great Patriotic Internet War’s fallout, and Duncan Hunter should resign from Congress. Even if he’s not guilty of a crime, he should still resign because he is...

I’m not as ready for this as I sound. Experts around the country are  complaining that we aren’t listening to them when they tell us what is  going to happen. Can anybody come up with a reason why that might be so?  I love baseball, but the steroids argument is getting weird. It has  skewed what we think we saw. And the #warwithoutend or declaration that we were told is over, i...

Sometimes I miss California. No, really, sometimes I do. And then…  California calls me and I remember why I not only don’t really miss it, I  yearn for the day when our divorce is 100% complete. Peter Strzok has  been fired by the FBI. Standby for Talking heads telling you why this is  both good and bad and bi-partisan and political. But there is really  bad news today. W...

Once upon a time, the Supreme  Court was asked to stop something that had already happened from happening.  Yesterday, the Attorney Virtue Signaling General of Washington State   asked the Federal courts to stop something from happening that already  happened. It won't work. It cannot work. But it's something, so like a straw  ban, we're gonna do it, because it's "somethin...

Dave often says that liberty and freedom are NOT the same thing. Here’s why he says that...

Led by the State Legislature of Georgia, the calls for an Article V Convention are becoming more and more common, but is such a State called Constitutional Convention even possible today? And even if it happened, would it accomplish anything? And if the problems are obvious, why did the Framers even put the clause allowing the States to call a convention in the Constitution in the first place?

In February of 1810, the British cargo brig, Aurora, found herself impounded and her cargo seized in New Orleans as a consequence of a Congressional action that made sense, but like so much of what Congress did (and does) contained more than it seemed at face value. In short, the Congress passed a law in 1809 that said that Britain and France were violating US neutrality on the open ocean by seizi...

The IXth Amendment and the impeachment of Andrew Johnson
