Erick - I listen to your podcast daily and you asked a question in the second hour: why does it seem the democrats have forgotten about how to play politics?
The answer is pretty simple, The people leading the Democrat Party have taken to worshipping the environment.
Without the fundamental foundation of scripture and the acknowledgment that the Earth was created by God Almighty, there is a vacuum of knowledge and understanding, and that vacuum has been filled with ideas like evolution and global warming.
Biden and the democrats keep digging a deeper and deeper hole for the US people to climb out of. Wait until we see what lunacy comes out of them after being spanked at midyear. I suspect they will be fully Stuck on Stupid to quote on of their favorite leftist general officers.
What remains to be seen is how stupid the republicans will be in return. Will it be deja vu all over again of the second half of the Trump administration only from a Republican perspective? Will we see Marjorie Taylor Greene running her own Schiff Show? Or hopefully something smarter I pray.
I am very glad that you talked about the oil problem. Europe is already have a shortage and we will also as the winter months require oil for heating. IF??? we started to activate all the oil drilling that we had two years ago, it would still take some time to get it to the homes. But if it is delayed another 4 or 6 months, we will have a lot of cold homes in this nation as well as other places.
I would like to take absolutely everything that is petroleum based away from the environmentalists which would include their phones. I wonder how long they would survive. Let them eat soy burgers and tofu. Oh wait soybeans are planted and harvested with tractors and they use fuel. Hypocrites.
Question - if we were to begin drilling again (not likely with this administration), could we fill up the SPR with the oil we produce vs having to buy it from another source?
I, too, voted for Walker for the same reasons you mentioned on the video.
My doing so does not mean my conscience is clean and that I will sleep well at night. (To wit, I do not mean to parse statements here. I think we are in agreement). While it does not keep me up at night, I do have deep concerns about our country and society. Walker’s redemption still does not qualify him for office.
The cult of celebrity on the Right and the cult of ideology on the Left are doing no favors to the Right or the Left. Or the Left or Right.
I don't live in Georgia, so I don't have to decide between Walker and Warnock or not voting; though I do live in Wisconsin and have to choose between Johnson and Barnes. (Not voting for either of them.) Having said that, I would also have voted for Walker for pretty much the reasons you and Mr. Erickson voted for him.
But I would like to generally comment on your contention that Walker's redemption still does not qualify them for public office.
We are all sinners. We are all imperfect. We all have need for redemption. If we say a person's past sins, for which s/he has repented and changed, disqualifies him/her from public office, then we are saying no one is qualified for public office.
Further, and I know I'm saying this clumsily, we want people who have turned away from their past sins. There is strength in that. They have learned lessons along the way that can be very valuable in many ways. Some of the Apostles had pretty checkered resumes.
I wonder if the problem is that you doubt (as I do) whether Walker has actually repented and whether he has actually, in substance, changed.
Goodness no! I applaud his story. While it is certainly a stumbling block, my gripe is more that he is attempting to enter public service by going straight for one of the most prestigious posts—ie, the Senate—without any credentials (despite a solid debate performance) that would make him a seemingly good candidate.
Of course he certainly is not alone in that. The list of “offenders” is long and distinguished. The return of the true statesman is a pipe dream of mine. Don’t ruin it for me! :D
The closest thing we have to a panacea for the current situation is to control our own energy. Is it possible that with control of both houses, congress can force this administration into allowing it?
"There are women," returned my uncle, "some of them of the most admired, who are slaves to a demoniacal love of power. The very pleasure of their consciousness consists in the knowledge that they have power--not power to do things, but the power to make other people do things."

That’s “President of United Earth.” Can’t forget the “United” part but it’s all about democracy as long as everyone votes for them.
