My goal is to explore subjects that interest me – and might interest you – with some occasional humor and less partisan spin.   I call myself a conservative at about the 40‑yard line for Republicans but even that gets confusing given how far crazies and the media have moved the goalposts.   My aim is simple: call out the crazy on all sides and pull the conversation back toward a sane middle.  AND encourage people to read the actual source material instead of just repeating headlines or relying on the media to tell us what we need to know.  Full disclosure, I probably miss some of the crazy on...

August 23, 2022, Edition of Views on the News from the Couch 23.08.2022

Send us Fan Mail In today’s podcase I wonder if it is a coincident that the Census department undercounted Republican states and overcounted Democratic states.  I question why the hell the DOJ is leaking information on the Trump raid.  Suggest it is time that someone deals with Putin on Ukraine.  And finally, I discuss what an extremist is in terms of education.  I think that word is bandied about...

Send us Fan Mail After the Quickhitters this podcast delves into a NBC News poll that said many students would not room with someone who voted for a different presidential candidate, the current economic situation, and Liz Cheney.  I go to town on Liz Cheney.  A person I like and respect who I think mistakenly presents a false choice to explain her defeat in Wyoming.    https://www.msn.com/en-us/m...

August 15, 2022, Edition of Views on the News from the Couch 15.08.2022

Send us Fan Mail This episode has a collection of views on the News and focuses on improvements in nuclear fusion and on the Trump raid at Mar-A-Lago.  On the Trump raid I review many headlines which shows how our bifurcated news and give folks on either side of the issue a one-sided view of what is going on.  My take is that we do not have enough information to make conclusions about the raid. ht...

July 28, 2022, Edition of Views on the News from the Couch 28.07.2022

Send us Fan Mail In today’s podcast I went off the deep end.  While I don’t agree that we have a deep state if you use the Wikipedia definition of a deep state, I do make the case that we have a biased state that is rotten.  I go off on a rant on this.  I also talk about Build Back Better lite that was recently agreed to by Democratic Senators.  And the new Third party that Centrists are forming....

July 22, 2022, Edition of Views on the News from the Couch 22.07.2022

Send us Fan Mail Tough to describe today’s podcast.  Best I can do is say I took a journey to suggest folks do their own research and own thinking to better judge what they hear.  Give it a listen.  I think it is worth it.   https://nypost.com/2021/03/29/hunter-biden-should-be-charged-for-lying-on-gun-application/   https://www.sciencealert.com/here-s-why-incompetent-people-often-seem-so-confident...
