Front Porch Political Talk Episode 86: Pain, Rage and Trump

This was definitely an interesting examination of the articles, from reinterpreting things presented as negative to explaining the failures identified in concepts. Some good thoughts shared by all!

Two additional links were presented during the course of the show tonight. The first was a reference to the Adams vs Jefferson race of 1800 where some truly hideous character references were thrown out. The second is an interesting video about addiction shared in the chat. Both are worth reading or watching.

Most people, especially those in a positions of authority, rarely do anything without either approval or review.

Front Porch Political Talk Episode 49: Knowing What to Say

This was an interesting show for interesting times. We hit a lot of the articles and I think much of the conversation was a bit different than where some of our previous calls have gone. In short, I think we realized what to say and when.

Articles for Front Porch Political Talk #49: Knowing What to Say

Different times call for different approaches for issues that arise. As we head into another election year I felt it would be a good idea to look at some different situations and evaluate the things that were said about them. Were they the right words or do they only serve to intensify the strain in the nation and around the world?

Front Porch Political Talk Episode 44: Difficult Conversation

Having had this conversation, or at least parts of it, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the outcome. We talked about the pseudo-caliphate to a large degree but even after all of that I don't know that we came to any level of agreement on how it should be viewed.

As I said in the intro, there are some trigger warnings here. Maybe I should have heeded to them.

Articles for Front Porch Political Talk #44: Difficult Conversation

There has been some time to let the dust settle from the attacks last week and after watching the lunacy from several places I felt it was time to have a difficult conversation. These are things that need to be said, whether about the terrorist group itself or the responses that have been made to their actions.

This is not going to be an especially "kid friendly" episode, regardless of the rules on language that govern our show. The topics are hard to discuss but I feel this is the time to talk about them. I'll issue this warning again at the beginning of the recording.

Articles for this episode:

• Where marijuana is legal, complaints aired about the smell
• 7 Things I Learned Reading Every Issue Of ISIS's Magazine
• Mass graves of women 'too old to be Isil sex slaves' - this is what we're up against
• Brussels remains under highest terror alert amid warning of 'imminent threat'

Articles for Front Porch Political Talk #41: Offense Taken
