Emails from Hillary Clinton's private server were forwarded to a Gmail address linked to a Chinese company: Potential foreign access to Clinton's emails raises concerns, adding to earlier suspicions about server security
Senator Chuck Grassley's recent letter revealed that many of Hillary Clinton's emails from her private server were reportedly being forwarded to a Gmail address associated with a Chinese company, Carter Heavy Industries. This discovery raises concerns about potential foreign access to Clinton's emails, adding to earlier suspicions about the server's security. The purpose behind this forwarding remains unclear, but it has the potential to significantly impact the ongoing investigation into Clinton's email practices while she was Secretary of State.
Ongoing investigations and concerns over Supreme Court's swing vote: Senator Grassley's actions suggest significant findings in Clinton emails probe. Roberts's swing vote status and intimidation raise questions about originalist interpretations on the Supreme Court.
The investigations into Hillary Clinton's emails and potential wrongdoings are ongoing, with Senator Grassley's actions indicating significant findings. Meanwhile, concerns over Chief Justice John Roberts's swing vote status and susceptibility to liberal intimidation have led to a downward spiral of originalist constitutional interpretations on the Supreme Court. The liberal strategy of intimidating Roberts through op-eds and media pressure appears to be effective, as seen in the citizenship question case. These developments underscore the politicization of these institutions and the ongoing power struggles between political factions.
Senators Intimidating Supreme Court Justice Roberts: Politicians are threatening the independence of the Supreme Court by intimidating Justice Roberts to influence his rulings on gun control cases, which sets a dangerous precedent for future political interference.
Democratic senators, some of whom are running for president, have been intimidating Supreme Court Justice John Roberts in an effort to influence his rulings on gun control cases. This tactic, which was warned about earlier, has become more overt and threatening, with the senators implying that they could restructure the court if Roberts does not rule in their favor. This is a disturbing development, as it undermines the independence of the judiciary and sets a dangerous precedent for future political interference. The Supreme Court is a crucial institution in maintaining the rule of law and protecting individual rights, and it must be allowed to function free from political pressure.
Debunking liberal falsehoods and discussing Elizabeth Warren's controversial statements: Liberals often double down on lies and prioritize perception over facts, as seen in Elizabeth Warren's insistence on the 'murder' of Michael Brown despite evidence to the contrary.
During the show, we debunk liberal falsehoods and provide intellectual material for debates with leftist friends. However, debating with liberals can be challenging as they often double down on lies. Moving on, a product sponsor was introduced, Genucel, offering a summer sale with significant discounts and a free jawline treatment with purchase. Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign was discussed, with a focus on her alleged personal fraud and her recent tweet about the Michael Brown case in Ferguson, Missouri. Warren claimed that Brown was "murdered" by police officers, despite the incident being deemed a justified use of force. Instead of correcting her statement, Warren continued to insist that what matters is the perception of an unarmed man being shot and left to die. This behavior highlights the difficulty in debating with those who prioritize perception over facts.
Media double standard for politician misstatements: Republicans face intense scrutiny for misstatements, while Democrats often get a pass, damaging political discourse and truthfulness.
There is a significant double standard when it comes to how the media and public respond to misstatements made by politicians from different parties. While Republicans are held accountable for their words and face intense scrutiny and consequences, Democrats often get a pass and are able to change the subject or move on without facing the same level of consequences. This was highlighted in the discussion about a Democratic politician's claim that a police officer murdered Michael Brown, despite the evidence to the contrary. The politician was not held to account for her false statement, and the media moved on quickly, allowing her to avoid answering for her misinformation. This inconsistency in how politicians are treated based on their party affiliation undermines the integrity of political discourse and the importance of truth and accuracy in public statements.
Debating the Effectiveness of 'Good Guys with Guns',: The bravery of citizens with firearms has saved lives in numerous instances, acknowledging their heroism is crucial, and dismissing the concept as a myth based on isolated examples is not feasible.
The debate surrounding the effectiveness of "good guys with guns" in stopping mass shootings continues to be a contentious issue. A tweet from an individual named Dylan, who questioned the validity of this concept after witnessing a shootout in Philadelphia, was criticized for suggesting unrealistic alternatives. The speaker argued that Dylan's suggestions, such as using water bottles or foul language, were not feasible solutions and that the brave actions of citizens with firearms have saved lives in numerous instances. The speaker emphasized the importance of acknowledging the heroism of these individuals and the real-world impact of their actions, rather than dismissing the concept as a myth based on isolated examples. The speaker also encouraged listeners to consider the potential consequences of disarming law-abiding citizens in the face of dangerous situations.
Left's unpopular policies advanced through courts: The left employs pressure campaigns, identity politics, and legal tactics to push unpopular policies, focusing on making opponents seem unfavorable, and implementing policies through the courts when democratic means fail.
The left often relies on pressure campaigns, identity politics, and legal tactics to advance their unpopular policies when they cannot win through democratic means. While discussing sponsor WaxRx, the host also touched upon the left's strategy of making their opponents seem less favorable to voters, rather than focusing on their own agenda. The left, recognizing their policies lack widespread support, seeks to implement them through the courts by securing favorable judgments from individual judges. This approach is not moral or ethical but a smart political move, allowing them to bypass the need to convince a majority of the population.
Liberals using cultural and corporate pressure campaigns: Liberals are using cultural and corporate pressure campaigns to influence public opinion and policy as legal avenues are closing off. This includes attempts to pressure companies to withhold contracts from certain organizations or individuals.
As the legal avenues for pushing their agenda are being closed off, liberals are turning to cultural and corporate pressure campaigns to influence public opinion and policy. This was highlighted by the Google employees who signed a letter trying to pressure the company to withhold contracts from Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This tactic has a long history, as seen when liberals attempted to boycott the advertisers of conservative talk radio shows in the past. However, this strategy backfired and resulted in a decrease in advertising on political and news shows altogether. As the political landscape continues to shift, it's important to be aware of these tactics and the potential impact they can have.
Liberal boycotts of conservative media backfire: Liberal attempts to boycott conservative media and their sponsors have led to financial ruin for some liberal shows, while conservative shows with larger audiences continue to attract sponsors.
Liberal attempts to boycott conservative media and their sponsors by attacking their political views has backfired, leading companies to withdraw their advertising from liberal programming as well. Conservative shows, with larger audiences, continue to attract sponsors due to their listener base, while liberal shows with smaller audiences face financial ruin when they lose a sponsor. The increased sensitivity to political advertising in the polarized political environment has led marketers to be more cautious, and the unintended consequence has been the blacklisting of major media outlets like the Washington Post and CNN. Conservative talk radio, which champions liberty and freedom, will continue to face corporate pressure but will always find companies willing to speak to their large audience.
Obamacare enrollment decline among non-subsidized individuals: The trend of declining enrollment among non-subsidized individuals in Obamacare could strain the public fisc if the government takes over the entire healthcare system, as some propose, due to higher premiums caused by community rating and guaranteed issue principles.
The data shows that Obamacare, a key component of the current government healthcare interventions, is experiencing a significant decline in enrollment among those not receiving subsidies. This trend indicates that if the government were to take over the entire healthcare system, as some candidates propose, programs like Obamacare, which are already struggling, could put an even greater strain on the public fisc. The community rating and guaranteed issue principles built into Obamacare result in higher premiums for those not receiving subsidies, causing them to leave the program. This trend, if extrapolated to a larger healthcare system, could lead to a significant number of people being unable to afford healthcare, making the system unsustainable.
Obamacare's death spiral: rising costs and decreasing enrollment: The combination of community rating and mandatory enrollment in Obamacare is leading to a cycle of increasing premiums and decreasing enrollment, leaving behind an older and sicker risk pool and unsustainable costs.
The combination of community rating and the requirement to issue plans regardless of premium payments in Obamacare is leading to a death spiral of increasing premiums. Middle-class individuals who don't receive taxpayer subsidies are leaving the program, leaving behind an older and sicker risk pool. The costs for this pool continue to rise, driving premiums even higher, making it less attractive for healthy individuals to remain enrolled. This cycle of increasing costs and decreasing enrollment is unsustainable and a clear indication of the challenges with Obamacare. The real reason for the expansion of government healthcare coverage to the entire country, despite many preferring their current insurance, is disregard for the financial consequences of the policy.
