In this episode I comment on President Joe Biden’s latest failed attempt to paint all Republicans as member of the Ku Klux Klan. Last week, the narrative was to try using the anniversary of the Capitol riot as a way to paint the whole GOP as violent, domestic terrorist insurrectionists. After a week, that attempt didn’t seem to catch fire with the American people. So, onto the State of Georgia to claim, once again, voter suppression.
The man who ran on being a uniter, managed to bring such a dismal attack attempt at Republicans, most of the Leftist groups in Georgia chose to boycot his appearance. President Biden declares he cannot get voter rights passed while the filibuster is in place. He wants it removed because the majority should have absolute authority to do whatever it wants. This is, of course, a huge turn for him. A champion of the tool of the filibuster for years, suddenly, it’s in his way and he wants to change the rules.
To illustrate the depth of this hypocrisy, we use Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer’s, own words. It’s so easy to point out the political games they play by simply using their speeches. Amazingly, a once stauch advocate for the filibuster, now Chucky Schumer wants to elminate it so Democrates can get their way.
Let’s be clear, they know they have until November to ram through as much as they can on their radical agenda. The filibuster is stopping them until the midterms arrive. They know, once the “red wave” hits, there will be no chance to advance their goals of fundamentally transforming our country. The filibuster is meant to slow down emotional decision-making and to prevent the majority from wielding power unchecked. It’s a tool that cuts both ways and is operating at the Founding Fathers intended.

Actor - Writer - Director - Radio - Veteran | I like ‘guy’ things: women, sports, video games, dogs, drinking, football, shooting guns, war movies, action movies, sci-fi movies and playing the hero. I am a red-blooded, American male through-and-through. But, I have another side as well, a deep and entrenched creative side, which started with writing and evolved to include acting and radio. As a result, I have appeared in nearly 100 stage shows and been involved in dozens of motion pictures, including two independent features available on Amazon Prime.
I have also been in broadcast radio for over 20 years. Thus far, I have been honored to receive five GAB Awards from the Georgia Association of Broadcasters: Two for Best On-Air Personality and three for Best Talk Show.
It was only natural with these pursuits, podcasting would eventually be added to my plate. In late 2017, I decided to start a show with my buddy and co-host, Walt Murray, called, The Wilder Ride. We examine the films of Gene Wilder in the movies by minutes format. This has opened the door to meeting so many new and amazing podcasters from around the world and led to some amazing friendships! As Shakespeare puts it, “I am amazed and know not what to say!” Afterwards, my wife and I started a show called, 'The Marriage Fit Podcast" where we talk about our lives as a blended family. Our tag line is it's a show about trying to make things fit, staying fit, and not throwing a fit.
Of all the roles I play, though, I want to point out that there are two I consider more important than any I have ever played (or will ever play) and that is being a DAD and HUSBAND. I have four girls, ages, 26, 24, 23, and 21 and there is nothing I won't do for them. And, none of life's ambitions would be possible without the strength and support of my best friend in the entire world, my wife, Susan. Regardless of anything else, nothing will ever outshine them.
