Timestamps:
Timestamp: (5:51). I haven’t gone on a good rant in a while, but it’s time I go on a good rant about President Trump and the weak leaders around him that enable him.
Timestamp: (35:22). Let’s talk about the prospect for peace in Ukraine, as well as some big weapons news for them.
Timestamp: (41:27). This hasn’t made the news much, but have you seen about the oil situation happening in much of Russia?
Timestamp: (44:10). I meant to squeeze this in earlier, but have you seen what the National Guard is currently doing in Washington, D.C.?
Timestamp: (46:39). Let’s end with some Biblical wisdom and spiritual encouragement.
If you’re new to the show, here’s what I’m doing.
Each week in my podcast, I cover politics, national security, and obscure military matters outside the news. I also do my best to lower your blood pressure, as I avoid clickbait.
Finally, I end each show by sharing some Biblical wisdom.
My hope is that you end each show better informed, less worried, and more optimistic (about both our country and your life).
Also, huge shout out to those of you whose paid subscriptions make it possible for me to devote time and resources to researching and compiling the news each week. Yes, I work a full-time job and squeeze these podcasts out on my free-time. And yes, I’d like to do this full-time! 🤣

A big preference is shown toward voice memos that are sent in. Keep them short and pithy, and I might just play them!

Let’s end with some notes on faith
As you know, if you want true peace, I believe you should look to God and the Bible for that — not a country, not a party, and certainly not an earthly leader, such as our President or the leader of whatever political party you prefer.
I believe that not only can God give you ever-lasting life, but that He can also give you peace in this life. God is like a good shepherd. He leads you by the still waters. He restores your soul. He guides you out of the death and destruction of sin. If you know nothing about the Bible, but want to test the waters and maybe try it out, check out my resource page here.
By the way, if you’re dealing with depression, PTSD, or thoughts of suicide, I have a link I’d like you to check out. It’s an encouraging pep talk that I believe will help. It also has the hotline that you can call, whether you’re a service member or just a civilian. Here’s the link for that page: PTSD.
Reminder: If you know nothing about the Bible, but want to read some of it for the first time in a while (or maybe ever), check out my resource page here. I know it’s a big book that can seem overwhelming, but that link can help you. And yes, you can read it from a phone, computer, laptop, etc. (See my link above.)
I also have a podcast that focuses solely on faith called The Search for God. You can find it below.
Love my moderate, optimistic view of politics and want to know more about how I see things?
Go here:
I always like to end with an important reminder, whether you’re a Christian or not.

P.S. Don’t forget that I've also written twelve fast, exciting books. Buying books (or recommending them to a friend) is a great way to support the show.
