Don’t be Intimidated. Fight Back ~ Ep. 1284 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

Did the Obama administration get the idea to take down General Flynn from a television show? This may sound strange, but the evidence is powerful. I also address the stunning comments by the NY head of Black Lives Matter. Finally, I discuss Twitter’s war on conservatives and how we’re fighting back.

There was something that I did tonight before writing this post.  I went outside, since it is such a beautiful night.  Not for long.  Just long enough for me to pray to God, in Jesus' name.  I saw a reminder of what to pray while going through Twitter tonight.  Thank the Lord, and Trust the Lord.  And then asking for His guidance while writing tonight.  Hey, if it's okay for Hawk Newsome to bring up Jesus in his interview with Martha MacCallum, then I can do that, too.  Only, I'm not sure that Hawk and I would quite see eye-to-eye on our beliefs, and what Jesus means to us. 

One of the major differences between me and the protestors, turned rioters, turned social justice warriors and all that (like conquering a small territory inside of Seattle), is that I feel blessed to have been born in such a great country.  A free country, that God has given us.  With big-R rights, where we have the freedom to point out our mistakes, and make the necessary corrections.  Yes, some of those corrections can take even more than a century to take place.  God taught us to have Patience.  But, be grateful that we all have the opportunity to make a difference. 

And yet, as I wrote about yesterday, there is still that intimidation factor.   Whether it comes from where you work, your family and friends that advise you not to talk about politics, or social network platforms that threaten your existence if you say the wrong thing, there is plenty of intimidation to go around.

But what do we do when we feel like we're up against roadblocks?  We forge new paths.  And we do that in Faith, and Hope, and Trust in the Lord.  Violence is not the answer!  We're not going to burn it all down just to get the changes we desire.  We'll persist and persevere.  And when we need to explain our way of thinking, we'll listen, and be patient, and talk with a soft voice.  No need to talk over anybody, nor shout.  Kind of like what Dan mentioned, that he's trying to learn "kindness" (and I did my best to try to find that clip, but haven't yet).  Intimidation and knocking over statues is not the way to share ideas. 

Hey, I know, I'm kind of rambling tonight.  Part of that prayer I said before writing tonight was that I would touch one person.  I hope I have.  But, I can assure you, Dan's Episode 1284 probably will touch a lot more than one person!  Remember, don't be intimidated, fight back, with love in your heart and with all your God given freedom. 

Did I tell you yet?  You'll love this episode of The Dan Bongino Show!

Bonus video:

From the Martha MacCallum and Hawk Newsome segment

And here is another video that you must see. First, the video description from Sky News Australia:

Former FBI Counterterrorism Director Terry Turchie says the Black Lives Matter movement “is all too familiar” to the Weather Underground and the Black Panther Party groups of the 1960s and 1970s.

“No one has read what Black Lives Matter has written as far as their plan, but it bears a great similarity to what the Black Panther Party was saying back then,” Mr Turchie told Sky News.

“The Black Panther Party was a Marxist Maoist Leninist organisation and that came from Huey Newton, one of the co-founders, who said we’re standing for nothing more than the total transformation of the United States government.

“He went on to explain that they wanted to take the tension that already existed in black communities and exacerbate it where they can.

“To take those situations where there is a tinderbox and light the country on fire,” Mr Turchie said.

“Today we’re seeing the third revolution and they think they can make this happen.

“The only thing that is different are the names of the groups.”

This is Not About Statues! ~ Ep. 1283 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the real reasons the radical left is tearing down our culture and inanimate statues. I also discuss the bombshell news about General Flynn and the involvement of Barack Obama.

If you haven't yet seen or heard this episode yet, now is your chance.  And it's time.  Time to watch this?  Only if you want to know how YOU can make a difference.  Seriously, you probably want to skip Dan's opening monologue if you don't want to know how you can do something to help turn this country around.   And I do know how that can be a difficult decision to be involved with politics.  There's your job and your family that you are going to have to give consideration to, those things will have an influence on how much you can be involved.  Well, I have a story about that which I should share with you.

Back in 1984, I had gone to the Republican Caucus here in Iowa.  I met some awesome Conservative Republicans at my precinct Caucus.  Because I was outspoken at that Caucus, they elected me to represent the precinct at the County Republican Caucus.  That was an honor, but unfortunately, I was a little bit defunded at the time while between jobs, and I didn't even make it to that County Caucus.  But that wasn't the end of my opportunities to be involved.

At some point later in the 1980's, I met a guy that got me in touch with the County Chairman of the Republican Party.  I was asked to run for the State Representative ticket in the upcoming election.  No other Republican had put their name in the hat, and there was a reason for that.  The incumbent was a Demonicrat that had that seat for eons.  She was a local attorney.  A flaming liberal, but that was never mentioned in the social circles.  While I was deciding, I talked to family members that were attorneys, and was advised to stay far away from that campaign.  The Demonicrat lady who was the incumbent representative was known to be very viscous, and did I want to play that dirty politics game?  Well, that was very intimidating, and it is part of what Dan was talking about a lot in this episode.  Think about that, though, while I wasn't ready to do it, why weren't there really well known businessmen or other Republicans willing to take on that Demonicrat?  So, I can definitely understand why people don't try to get involved.  The intimidation factor can be very daunting.  As Dan mentions, even having a Trump2020 bumper sticker on the car you drive to work in can get you in trouble.

Now, thinking back, especially after hearing what Dan was talking about in that first segment, why I didn't step up to the plate is the explanation for why so many people with far more qualifications than I ever had, never did it either.  We probably wouldn't be so bad off now had any of us made an effort to change things by being involved.

So, now, you can watch this episode, and have those things to dwell on.  Oh, and in this episode, Dan will also tell you why the "MOB" is also tearing down statues of abolitionists, and our Founders such as Jefferson and Washington.  It's not about eliminating the mentions of slave owners in our history.  It is about something else that you need to be aware of!

But, wait!  If you stay tuned all the way through to the end of the episode, there is some news on the Gen. Mike Flynn case that will be discussed.  Really good news! 

And really, just do whatever you can.  Yesterday's blog discussed that. But I do understand it if you have limitations.  I did, and I still do, except that I am not longer worried about the intimidation.

Are We Looking at an Election 2020 Nightmare Scenario? ~ Ep. 1282 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the potential for a 2020 election nightmare which would tear the country apart. I also address the riots in front of the White House last night. I discuss the latest outrageous media attack on innocent civilians trying to defend themselves.

Dan gets on a roll in one of the segments in the middle of the episode, where he talks about the media attacks on the people that are trying to defend themselves, but are slurred by NPR who said they were the violent extremists, and the fact that the left-wing media doesn't even care that they are lying.  That's definitely a segment that I want you to pay attention to. 

And then, there of course is the 2020 election nightmare that Dan mentions.  Yes, election fraud is one of my highest concerns at this moment.  Especially because of who are opponents are, and they want to "transform" America.  Well?  What else can they say is their platform, besides Socialism is good and capitalism is bad, and that we should all be dependent on the State, and Government is the answer to all our problems, and going to church will get us all killed because of the Coronavirus, but it's okay to go to the weed shop so that you can forget all of your problems?  That it should be the government that is worshipped, and not God?   Yes, so us patriotic, God loving, peaceful and quiet Americans will just comply with the "rules," but it's okay for rioters, a.k.a. "protesters," according to Fake News Media, to go and destroy monuments to our history and heritage?  This whole thing is very troubling.

Sometimes, I actually feel the most free when I am writing these blogs.  Allow me to explain.
Last week, when I was writing my post for Ep. 1278, I had mentioned what I have been doing, and in order to show the courtesy to ask if it was okay, I emailed Dan Bongino, just to make sure I had his blessing. Here is a quote from that post:

This thing I've been doing, writing a blog following all his episodes, can be extremely time consuming for me, but I live for every moment in doing it. But, there is something that I know I need to do: I am going to have to contact him and get his permission to keep doing this, where I embed his videos into the blogs. I don't know if I will get any reply, and I'm not sure if he will grant me the permission to embed his youtube videos. But, I promise, I'll at least make the effort to request the permission.

I sent the email to Dan, hopefully to the right email address.  Well, as I figured, I didn't get a reply yet.  Or, maybe his attorneys are preparing a cease and desist order.  I don't really know.  But, until I hear a resounding "NO!" I will keep on keeping on.  And I at least attempted to make things right.

When I was feeling somewhat gloomy just last night, I found this fantastic "Daily Motivator" from Ralph Marston.  Here is a small portion of the post:

Your time, knowledge, skills and resources are limited. So by all means put them to good use, and do what you can.

Take every opportunity to move life a little bit in the direction you want it to go. Do what you can, again and again, and you’ll find yourself doing a lot more good than you ever could have imagined.

— Ralph Marston

Really think about this, there is a lot of meaning to it, especially right now.  I'm doing what I can to help President Trump get another four years (including a whole lot of prayers!).  I'm doing what I can to help Dan Bongino reach more people. Why?  To help him make more money?  Nope.  There is just ONE reason, and that is because he is fighting back.  I love a fighter.  We're all getting a bit fed up with the Liberal lies and insults from Demonicrat politicians and Leftist media, and the censorship by the Big Tech guys in Silicon Valley.  We all need to continue fighting!

So, yes, I really do love Ralph's words, which are worth repeating again: "Do what you can, again and again, and you’ll find yourself doing a lot more good than you ever could have imagined."  Exactly, and that is what I'm doing, and will continue to, until I'm no longer able, due to health, death, or being put in a gulag somewhere. 

PLEASE watch all of this episode if you can possibly fit it into your busy day.

Deeply Disturbing Video Emerges of this Leftist Activist ~ Ep. 1281 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the disturbing video of this radical activist and her ties to a destructive ideology. I address the Trump Tulsa rally, and what the media is misreporting about it. I also address the explosion in violence in NY City after this disgraceful policing decision.

We've been patiently waiting for this news, and I'm afraid that a lot of people were not aware of who is behind the Black Lives Matters group, or organization, or movement, or whatever they call themselves.  But, one of the co-founders of Black Lives Matters, Patrisse Cullors, admits that they are trained organizers and trained Marxists. Yes, that's right, and a lot of us knew that, but it truly is news to a few people, especially those that are only watching the Mainstream Fake News channels and websites, or maybe living in a cave or dumpster somewhere.  I had suspected that the Black Lives Matters movement was probably Left-wing, and my suspicions were confirmed.  But, darn, it seems like Dan was saying that Marxists aren't always really nice to minorities in race and religion.  If that's true, what makes people think that black lives matter to the Marxists, with their history?  I have included an incredible video at the end, following Dan's show.  Please be sure to see that and pay close attention.

If you have been paying attention to the show and my blogs, you probably remember vividly how Dan, and then here in the blog, explained how NYPD Police Commissioner Dermot Shea made the very bad decision to abolish the anti-crime units in New York City.  Well, Dan has some very drastic and dire statistics, already, that may be (actually is) proving how bad that idea was.  I'm just going to say it:  All of this is a very major part of the puzzle. 

Eliminating the local police by defunding and dismantling, and disbanding anti-crime units, it all has a purpose.  The excuse is, the police are just so systemically racist.  The solution is to rid our country of police, and when it all goes sideways, like it will, they set up a new national police force.  And that will be militarized like you've never seen.  For all practical purposes, it would be another branch of our armed forces, but they would never admit that.  Instead, it would be a domestic police force, right there with the FBI.  Who knows, it may replace the FBI and all of the other federalized law enforcement agencies. Believe me, I am not advocating for that, but I am warning you that it is part of the Leftist agenda.  Food for thought.

As always, there is a whole bunch more of goodies that you'll get out of this episode.  Believe me, there is so much more that you'll want to watch to stay informed! And guess what?  You will find even more reasons as we get closer to November 3, 2020, keep our great President in office, and get the House back in Republican hands.  There is a enormous need to get power out of the hands of Pelosi, Schiff, and Nadler.  So, stay tuned and keep watching.  Oh, and tell your friends about this blog, and Dan Bongino.  I'll see you tomorrow.

Race, Policing, and the 2020 Elections. An Interview with Kira Davis and Scott Turner ~ Ep. 1280 ~ Dan Bongino Show

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this show, I Interview Editor-at-Large from RedState Kira Davis, and Scott Turner from the Trump White House’s Office of Opportunity & Revitalization.

After watching this outstanding Episode 1280, I procrastinated for awhile before I could write this post. Seriously, Dan Bongino, the interview was amazing. (Sending psychic vibes to Dan so he'll read this post!) Both Kira Davis and Scott Turner are amazing. After seeing this episode, I felt like I knew them, from my heart to theirs.

So, when Dan was talking to Kira, the one major take away was, "How do I write this so it doesn't sound like I am a groveling, pandering, kiss-up because the guests are both black?"  Like when Kira's husband was in the store, the incident she was talking about, is exactly the way it is for a lot of folks of the Caucasian race... Some people that I know are that way.  They might as well wear a pin on their blouse or suit, or a bumper sticker on their car, that says, "I'm not a racist. Please believe me!"

So, as a reminder to myself when I wrote this, I've been able to see that President Trump has done far more to unite all citizens, regardless of race or creed, rather than finding ways to divide us like a former President had done.  And when I watched this episode, I was able to notice many of the things that Kira and Scott said that verified that belief.

This is important!

Over time, like about 67 years on this planet, I've learned that Love speaks louder with actions rather than words.  No, you don't have to run for office, but you can support those that do, that are for school choice and opportunity for all Americans to take advantage of our freedom.  Why can't that be done?  What is holding it back?  Those things should be a bipartisan decision.  There should be a lot of unity in accomplishing those goals.  Really, what would make a politician disagree with those goals?  Oh, dear, I could write a book on that question!  Could it be that keeping people in poverty may offer an opportunity for somebody to stay in power forever, as long as they provide enough handouts?  That seems pretty obvious to me, but what I do I know?   Just sayin'...

When you watch this episode, take notes if you have to, there is so much quality information that you can gain!  My deepest gratitude for Dan for having these awesome guests, Kira Davis and Scott Turner, and they were wonderful, and hopefully inspirational to all Americans.  I hope this is a spark that ignites a love for each other. Enough said? Okay, good, watch the whole episode if you haven't already!

The Real Reason Why The Media Wants to Stop the Trump Rally ~ Ep. 1279 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the real reason that the liberal media wants to stop the Trump rally. I also address the dreadful Supreme Court immigration ruling and why it could give the President an advantage when leaving office. Finally, I address the latest efforts by Twitter to sabotage the Trump campaign.

Finally, time to see this episode, and get started on my blog post for today. Today was the first time we've been allowed to visit my dad at his nursing home, who are doing their best to keep everyone safe.  We haven't been able to see him in person for over three months.  We could have done some video thing they have set up, which none of us (me and my siblings) were probably able to do.  Well, I could, but couldn't get a time of the day for an appointment that fits my night owl schedule.  Well, of course, I got started watching the Trump Rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but then realized I could write now and watch the Trump rally later with my DVR.

One of the biggest takeaways from Episode 1279 was about why the Trump Rally (RALLIES!) frighten the heck out of the Demonicrats.  This first segment came just after the Legacy Box spot at the beginning of the show.  Yes, when Dan was talking about the liberals and "their liberal media arsenal," he was talking about how the Demonicrats work hand-in-hand with their allies in the lying fake news media.   Along the way, he shows a montage of the media talking about the dreaded Coronavirus being spread around like the black plague, and everybody will die, but noting that there is not much discussion about the Pandemic when it comes to the George Floyd demonstrations.  Yes, political campaigning: Bad; and protesting, with a little looting and arson going on: No problem!

Well, I noticed that very distinctly over the last 3 weeks or so, whereas somebody that I talked to today, that only watches just a half hour of news per day on ABC at dinner time, ummm.... not so much.  For the low info voter, I guess you can put it like this:  There is misinformation, disinformation, and actually NO information.

Misinformation is when headlines guide the person to a conclusion that really wouldn't be what the person would get if they read the entire article.  Disinformation is when the news story is totally fabricated, and has untruthful sources.  That's Fake News at it's worst, or should I say, at it's normal?  And if there is a correction or retraction, it is buried somewhere around page 52. And then, you have the worst kind of news reporting (I refuse to call it journalism at all), and that is the NO information kind of news.  That's where you bury the viewers with a bunch of anti-Trump stories, for example, and a whole bunch of fluff stories, but totally ignore stories that aren't supportive of their agenda and narrative.  Like, the liberal news media surely wouldn't want Americans to know that there is a group called Antifa, who is a designated domestic terrorist group now.  The low info person I talked to today, that watches ABC News almost every night, never heard of Antifa.  Imagine that.  But no, can't watch Fox News, because it is just one sided?  I'm trying, folks, really want to get people away from the MSM networks and newspapers.

Okay, I got to hammer this blog home today.  Dominos will be arriving soon, and there's a story that needs to be discussed. The headline: "Mayan calendar predicts end of the world today, claim conspiracy theorists." If that's not scary enough for you today, then go ahead and make sure you see Dan's last segment in this episode.  Oh, and be sure to read the related story I added, which was in Dan's Show Notes.  When you put the two pieces of the puzzle together, it might give you a picture you weren't hoping to see.  So, make sure that if he is still with us, that you wish your father a happy Father's Day today.  Yes, I made sure to do that.  And if we are still around, I'll be getting the interview on Episode 1280 blog up here tomorrow.

And if you would like to, and if you have followed the very good advice of my friend Dan Bongino, please be sure to share this post on PARLER.COM!   That would make me very happy if you do!

This is a Disgrace! ~ Ep. 1278 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the outrageous decision to charge the Atlanta police officer, involved in the Rayshard Brooks use of force incident, with murder. I also address the John Bolton book controversy and the Supreme Court’s broken immigration ruling.

We can all be pretty sure that anyone that sees this episode would pretty much be eliminated from the jury pool, to sit on a jury in this case against Garrett Rolfe, the Atlanta Police Department (former) police officer now charged with murder in the death of Rayshard Brooks. In fact, if you are selected for jury duty, be sure to inform them that you watch the Dan Bongino Show on a regular basis, and he is a former NYPD officer and Secret Service agent, and you are quite informed about these allegations against the officers, by a District Attorney that may have brought the cases against the officers for political gain.

No jury duty for you, I am sure.  In fact, if they desire a change of venue because of information on the case is so wide spread, where would you possibly have the trial? Is there a Timbuktu, Georgia, by any chance? Seriously, just in this episode, Dan dispels anything in the DA's case that would lead to a conviction.  I think that if this case ever makes it to trial, the defense attorneys for both of the officers would do well in their case to hire Dan as an expert witness or at least as a consultant.

Another great takeaway that you will get from this episode is the Bongino expose on FORMER Donald Trump advisor, John Bolton. There is a confession that I need to make: I was once a supporter of John Bolton. In fact, I was greatly thrilled with his work while Ambassador to the U.N. (even though I can't stand the U.N.) under President George W. Bush.  But as all this time has passed, and the way he reacted when he left the Donald Trump administration... now? Not so much a fan. Long before I even heard about his book, I began the path of decreasing respect for the man. Ten or fifteen years ago, I probably would have been a little upset that Dan so thoroughly trashed Bolton as he did in this episode. Now, I would say I applaud Dan's honesty for telling us what kind of lying rat that Bolton (another "Johnny B" like he calls John Brennan) really is.

Dan Bongino puts on a great show, every day of the week, plus his great appearances on Fox News and giving Geraldo Rivera constant heartburn, and along with his great interviews he gives us as a bonus.  I'm really looking forward to the one that he is doing this week, which is apparently regarding school choice.  This thing I've been doing, writing a blog following all his episodes, can be extremely time consuming for me, but I live for every moment in doing it.  But, there is something that I know I need to do:  I am going to have to contact him and get his permission to keep doing this, where I embed his videos into the blogs.  I don't know if I will get any reply, and I'm not sure if he will grant me the permission to embed his youtube videos.  But, I promise, I'll at least make the effort to request the permission.

As always, I leave you with his Episode 1278, a day behind as usual, and maybe the 100th I've shared with you here.  Somewhere around there, I would guess.  It's a jam-packed episode that you don't want to miss!

SHOW NOTES for Episode 1278

The Hard Truth About Use of Force in Policing ~ Ep. 1277 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the latest outrageous attack by the tech tyrants on conservative websites and content. I also address the Trump Executive Order on police reform and what it really means for our police departments. I also explain the difference between chokeholds and neck restraints.

Do you wonder what the conversations are like among law enforcement officers, sipping on a few adult beverages after their shifts?  Sitting around a table, amongst themselves, would they be wondering if the other guys would have their backs, or would they be a witness against you, to save their own caboose?

That's always been an issue, but most officers will back each other up.  However, these are strange times.  There is now political pressure to take criminal action against any white officer that is caught up in a life and death situation with a black subject, where the officer uses deadly force, and takes a life.  As Dan will explain in this episode, better training of the officers could prevent many deadly force situations.  Why is that is important?  Well, like Dan says, like in athletics, "train the way you play, and then play the way you train." If an officer is trained in the correct way, when they get in a bad situation like the two officers in Atlanta with Rashard Brooks, they are less likely to panic, and will do the right thing(s) when in those situations, and be able to end the situation without the loss of a life. 

Though Dan's segment on the training aspects of the use of nondeadly force was lengthy, there was a lot information embedded in that segment, that hopefully those officers having an off duty conversation over a brew or two would want to consider, and get their various police unions to help put into affect.

The rest of this episode is definitely going to fill you in on the ongoing topics of the tech tyrants, and General Mike Flynn possibly being the target of wiretapping, and it's going to bake your bagels. 

Along with this episode, I've included some bonus videos for you to see about the police shooting incident at the Wendy's in Atlanta.  You need to be informed about the incident to the best of your abilities, in a fair and balanced way, and not just see edited clips on the Fake News networks.  There is probably more to it than most people are aware of.  I just wanted to make absolutely sure that you are fully informed.

A Big Announcement About The Fight Ahead ~ Ep. 1276 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the media’s disgusting misinformation campaign regarding the Atlanta police incident. I also address the tech tyrant's latest efforts to crush the Trump campaign and what I plan to do about it. Finally, I discuss the latest disastrous decision by NYPD management, which will cost lives.

So, let me tell you a little about what plainclothes anti-crime units, like what Police Commissioner Dermot Shea is disbanding in New York City, can do, from a personal perspective, as the intended target and victim of a crime. This goes right along with what Dan is talking about in his second segment, right after the Omaha Steaks spot that made my mouth water.  I can testify as to what the plainclothes officers did to prevent a crime against me and my newlywed bride on our honeymoon, in New Orleans.

On February 3, 1997, we were on our 2nd day of our honeymoon.  It was a gorgeous 85 degrees, sunny, and after driving down from Iowa, that sure felt good.  Here we were, enjoying our time and bar hopping, and getting to hear outrageously good jazz bands.  As we're walking down the street, a kid in his late teens comes up to us and says to me, "I bet you five dollars I can tell you where and when you got your shoes."  Obviously, I was the easy mark.  It didn't take long for me to take the bet, being there was no way he could tell me that.  But he says, "Look, here's my five, and I'm honest, if you promise to be honest if I'm right."  Did I or my bride have a clue what he was up to?  Umm, not so much.  I wasn't too street wise, if you know what I mean.  So, the kid tells me, "You got your shoes right here, right now."  Technically, he was correct.

So, being honest, as I promised, I was reaching in my pocket to retrieve my wallet.  As I was pulling it out, here comes this unmarked Crown Vic, with two guys in plainclothes, but with badges, and seconds later three squad cars show up.  They made an arrest on the perp.  As Dan tells you in this segment, it was a "Self-observed criminal arrest."  Because of them, the police, I still had my wallet, the honeymoon could go on as planned, and I didn't even have to show up in a court in order to testify.  As it turned out, it was a really lucky day for Connie and I.  The police were doing a sweep to rid the streets of the criminals prior to Mardi Gras that was beginning that weekend!  Yes, they had the perfect stakeout, and were ready when that kid made the mark go to hand over the five.  But, there is the fact that one of the officers, who easily guessed we were from out of town, told us that once I pulled out the wallet, the kid would grab it and run.  That was the M.O. for that type of scam.  Before I had a chance to thank the officers, they had the kid locked up in the back of the squad car, on his way to jail.

That story above is true.  It is exactly why I know that every word that Dan says in that segment, and through every segment of this episode and all others, is accurate information.  The politicization by the Commissioner of the NYPD, by eliminating the anti-crime units, is so absurd.  It is beyond absurd, in my humble opinion.  And it's dangerous to the public safety of not just the citizens of New York City, but also visitors to the city (from Iowa?).  Only, not just from thieves that want to take your wallet the easy way, but that probably wouldn't hesitate to rob and kill you.

Hey, I know, I didn't go into a lot of details about this episode, like about his move to have a stake in Parler.com.  But, this is what I do.  I give you his episodes, because the information that Dan Bongino provides us with is valuable, and then try to write about the information that verifies the way I think.  It is very troubling when people like Geraldo Rivera try to tell you things that are just not true.  This episode provides the evidence that there are people like Geraldo everywhere... It's sad to see!

I hope that you are watching every one of Dan's episodes, like I do!

SHOW NOTES for Episode 1276

We’re Reaching the Point Of No Return ~ Ep. 1275 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode I address the controversy surrounding the police use of force incident in Atlanta, and the subsequent unrest. I clear up the misinformation coming from the media about the incident.

Yes, about that use of force incident in Atlanta, I was so glad when I watched this episode, yesterday and again today, that Dan covered it as well as he did. The good news is that when I saw the coverage on Saturday, I could tell right away that it was definitely a proper use of deadly force. And, I was never a law enforcement officer, and I could still tell.  I was watching coverage on Fox News, and they were being mostly fair, until I heard the Fox News host that was doing the coverage say that an unarmed (wrong!) black man was shot and killed by the police. It wasn't one of the regulars, but probably some weekend host working extra on a late Saturday night. I wish I remembered who it was. Maybe the Fox News guy didn't realize that a taser could be used as a weapon.  So can a steak knife.  However, that doesn't excuse him, and I believe it was purposeful, and meant to gaslight us a little more, and accept the anger of the protestors that just torched the Wendy's where it happened.

Though I understood the situation, it was really good to see Dan defending the officer - who was immediately fired - and the police chief in Atlanta resigned, you have to wonder how many people only saw the events through the eyes of the left-wing lying fake news media, where many of the pertinent details were left out, and were inspired to go out and riot some more? Wouldn't you think that the MSM people would having feelings of deep guilt and regret for encouraging people to go do damage that only hurts other Americans? Did the left-wing gaslighting media folks think about the black kid that's trying to pay for his or her first car and take college courses by working at that Wendy's? Of course not.  Let's just create more chaos, and gain fuel to dismantle police departments and/or defund them... That IS their purpose, and I'll tell you why.

A day or two ago, I saw tweet that asked why the Left is trying to eliminate local police departments. That IS a great question. Who would ever think that not having police coming to the rescue in an emergency is a good idea? Just because there are a handful of bad cops out there? We're not talking about departments being saturated with bad law enforcement officers.   I mentioned that I had a theory, and somebody asked for the link to my theory, which I didn't find. I probably had told somebody about it verbally, so, now I will be able to point to this post. My theory is that the Demonicrats want absolute chaos, and without police to contain it. And then, should the Demonicrats win back the White House and the U. S. Senate, and keep the House of Representatives, they would call it a major crisis (which it would be), and institute a national police force. I really believe that is a very plausible theory, being that the national police force would eventually be managed by the global government that the Left is striving for.  One of my clues was when I learned about the drones made in China.  Go ahead, just google "DJI".  It's just the beginning.

Please forgive me for straying off the subject there.  Oh, wait, no, I'm right on subject.  When Dan talks about the problem "coming to your front door," that may have been an even more dire warning than he had considered. Our problems are going to become real for many of us, on a personal level. No, we won't become violent and destroy our economy like the Left likes to do, and wants people to do, but as Dan is telling us, we are going to have to fight back. We can no longer remain silent.

So watch this episode, and please pay close attention. And beware.  Don't answer the front door if you see that drone hovering there.  Just sayin'...

Tucker: The new nation of CHAZ is a lesson for us all ~ Fox News Videos

I know that many of you out there are scratching your heads, wondering how such a thing could have been ALLOWED to happen. As am I.  While we see the humor in it all, as Tucker does in the two videos, we should also understand the threat, and like a virus from Wuhan, we must contain it. Obviously, the State of Washington and the City of Seattle have no plans to bring the new country of CHAZ to an end.

There's a problem here.  A big problem:  Are the politicians just spineless, or is this part of their plan?  How much should the President do to resolve this situation?  If no action is taken, as you will learn in the third video here, there is the likelihood of it metastasizing.  And actually, there are already signs of that happening.

Yes, the Nation of CHAZ experiment should be something to watch.  It may actually help the Conservative cause, as it will show the failure of communal systems, along with anarchy, and sure, why don't we defund the police?   It's a good teaching moment.

Hopefully, somebody will have a spine, and pull the plug on this vastly unsuccessful experiment.  Maybe the answer is to just cut off all of their utilities, as in electricity, water, internet, and cell phone service... The goofy world of CHAZ needs to return to reality before anyone is hurt.

Enjoy the videos!

We can all learn a lot by watching this documentary report on Antifa. I think we can all see the danger that faces us. This group wants to be known as "activists." That is such a joke. Why, yes, I can easily think of them as domestic terrorists. But don't forget, groups like this operate on a global scale. Who is funding them? Is the mainstream fake news media covering for them?

This Fight is Coming to Your Front Door ~ Ep. 1273 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the growing pressure for Americans to subjugate themselves to destructive liberal narratives. Please, this is the time for strength.

There was a need for me to take a night off yesterday. Not sure exactly what it was that made me want to take take the night off. Perhaps it was the fact that my Coronavirus test came back negative, which I found out Saturday morning in an email. I just got the testing done with the deep, uncomfortable, nasal swab on Friday afternoon, and was told it would take 3 business days to get the results.  So, it was a rather happy moment when I got that email the next day! So, there was some celebration to be done Saturday night. Turned out to be a perfect night for doing a campfire in the good old firepit I built last Summer. No bugs, and a cool front that moved through, so it wasn't hot or muggy. Perfect, except for that brief rain shower that ended the campfire.  But, that may not have been the only reason that I wasn't writing this blog post yesterday.

Though it was Friday night when I saw this episode for the first time, the first segment was emotional for Dan to do, and it was emotional for me to see and hear.  I could tell that he was rather torn up inside with the events that took place, on a personal level, for Dan, his wife Paula, and his children.  He didn't say a lot about whatever it was, other than being pressured to give his allegiance to Black Lives Matter.  You and I know that will never, ever happen.    But that is where the title to this episode came from.  The fight came to Dan's front door.  You will have to watch the segment for yourself, and come to your own thoughts about it.  When I saw the episode, I decided not to come to any conclusions, but just to pray for Dan and the Bongino family.

What really stuck out to me was Dan's monologue in that first segment regarding police officers that lose their lives in the line of duty.  The Black Lives Matter protest chants about "frying them like bacon," and I can't even quote the rest of it, definitely does not sit well with Dan Bongino, or me, or any of us that believe that Blue Lives Matter.  It bothers me very much that when an officer is killed in the line of duty, and there aren't protests, and they barely, if not rarely, even get reported by the legacy mainstream media. Yet, the death of a law enforcement officer also affects many people.  Their children, spouses, family, work associates, and friends, also feel terrible amounts of sorrow. All lives matter.  That is the bottom line that I come to.

There is a lot more to this episode than just that monologue, and I pray that you will watch it all. 

SHOW NOTES for Episode 1273

The Democrats Want You Silenced ~ Ep. 1272 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the fireworks up on Capitol Hill yesterday over defunding the police. I also address the radical leftist’s takeover of a part of Seattle. Finally, I address the continued meltdown of liberal cancel culture.

One of the problems we have with having a rough day is that we don't always realize it is just training so that you can have a better day sometime in the future.  For me, that happened yesterday.  It turned out to be training day yesterday, like a dry run, so that when I went in to be tested for Coronavirus today, it was a piece of cake.  Although, getting the deep nasal swab sounds pretty easy, it was a little uncomfortable.  In my left nostril, especially, there was a spot where they were swabbing that made my whole nose tingle like with an electric shock.  Tears were running out of my eyes.  (I have no doubt that was where the aliens implanted the RFID chip...)  The important thing is, I got the test taken, and it will be interesting to find out the results sometime next week.  It is important for my state, and the CDC, to get the data it needs to make good decisions, if that's the true purpose.

There is a lot to this episode as you will see when you watch it.  For one, Dan's testimony at the Congressional Judicial Committee hearing is something that we can all be proud of him for.  And especially for what he told them.  Dan makes the point, very well, that the hypocrisy of the Left is obvious.  While they are stereotyping all of the police as being bad, they criticize the police for stereotyping (profiling).  Only the Left says that when the police are stereotyping suspects, it's racial profiling.  Yes, they always need to play the race card, don't they.  It's very sad, because a few bad apples can spoil the whole bunch.  Cops are people, too, and a few of the bad ones slip through the system for too long.  There are all kinds of reasons why that happens; our goal is to fix those problems.  Not by defunding the police, or making their jobs so unbearable, that we lose them to attrition at a rate too high to have affective police forces.  I covered this a few days ago; feel free to go here to see that post.  We need to Defend the Police, not Defund the Police.

Obviously, that Antifa take-over of part of Seattle, in an area called Capital Hill, now known as the Capital Hill Autonomous Zone (Chaz), makes the present chaos in America appear to be all the more dangerous to this country and our freedom.  I think that Dan would agree, we really need to do something about that, stat, and it will probably take the Federal Government, probably FBI, and some of us would throw in Special Operators, as in SEALS or Delta Force.  Those guys that took over the area are armed, and out-of-their-minds looney tunes.  But, we know, it's an election year, and you'd hear the Leftist media say it was like Waco all over again, but way worse, because it was President Trump that took action.  I get that.  Sadly, that is kind of how politics go now a days.  My advice would be to do it very stealthily, without casualties.  But, I can still see it now, where the SEALS or FBI SWAT teams are blamed for using some kind of sleeper (choke) hold on heavily armed guards.

Yes, things are getting kind of kinky out there, as Dan explains.  The Left wants you to believe that 2+2=5.  You must comply.  Resistance is futile.  It's okay to protest and riot regarding George Floyd's death, but church gatherings of over 10 people will cause a new wave of the pandemic.  They can't keep their story straight, to be honest.  But, don't disagree with them.  Not even if you are on their side, because they will eat their own.  That's what they do on the Left.  That's a little taste of what you'll be hearing Dan discuss in this great episode you can watch this weekend.

SHOW NOTES for Episode 1272

A Special Announcement ~ Ep. 1271 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the continued media misinformation campaign about the protests and the Wuhan virus. I also address the hiding of this key Spygate player, and the potential reasons why. I also discuss this enormous threat to policing in America.

Thank you, Dan Bongino, you keep me pumped!  Except for today, and not because of this episode.

As much as I like watching Dan's shows and then writing about them, my ability to discuss things is almost totally gone tonight.  Today, I was supposed to go get tested for the Coronavirus.  In Iowa, now, they are testing everyone that wants to be tested. That is something that probably should have been done a month or two ago.  It might have helped to gather actual data so that they could make informed decisions.  And after that block about the asymptomatic people, I really wish they'd get their story right.

Well, I had a slight brain fart today, and forgot to take along a printed copy of the email with a bar code they included.  There would be no test without it.  And I still had about 50 minutes to drive home and get that email printed out, and get back to the testing site.  That didn't go well.  The drive home took about 45 minutes because of detours from road construction.  I pretty much had a meltdown, to be honest.

Yes, it was that kind of day.  After several calls, I was finally able to get my test rescheduled for tomorrow.   I have printed out that bar code and have it in my car, now.  Trust me, this time I didn't schedule the test at a time when I'd be dealing with rush hour traffic like I did today.  That was just a bit nerve-wracking.  Several weeks ago, I wouldn't have had problems with traffic, the roads were pretty much clear all day.  But not now.  The economy will be coming back soon, from what I see!  That's the good news that I can take away from my crazy day.

Honestly, if you haven't yet seen this episode yet, you must, and here it is:  There is some information about Spygate you can't miss.  Dan has some info about FBI Agent Stephen Somma, Case Agent 1, and why he is needed to testify.  Definitely a thriller you can not miss!

Okay, I am off here for today.  I've been itching to start watching Ep. 1272.  You'll know why sometime tomorrow when I can fill you in on it.  Thank you for bearing with me today.  My brain is pretty much mush after the things I went through this afternoon.  My reset button had to be pushed.  I'm just sayin'...

SHOW NOTES for Episode 1271

Stand up for the Truth ~ Ep. 1270 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the Democrats‘ latest outrageous attack on the police and I debunk the myths they’re promoting to advance their cause. I also address the protests, the riots, and the debate over the Second Amendment. Finally, I address the latest efforts by the government to hide this key Spygate witness.

It looks like a really good night for me to take a slight breather from all my writing in the past week.  Not that I mind it at all, it's actually just what I need to help get through the "shelter-in-place" thing.  It puts my mind to work. 

It seems that Dan is still very focused on the calls by Liberal politicians to "Defund the police," and we can understand that, being what he did in the past as an officer with the NYPD and then as an agent for the Secret Service.  But, it should be a very important issue for all of us, assuming that none of us want to be living in a extremely unsafe world, where rule of law no longer exists!

When you are voting for people this election in November, a few short months from now, please pay very close attention to what the candidates running for office are saying.  First of all, you need to watch this episode, it will help you determine if that politician is anti-law enforcement.  Sometimes, it isn't easy to tell when they have these nice "word salad" talking points and say things that may sound really imaginative, but really offer absolutely a big goose egg in actual solutions.  And, oh boy, the gigantic myths about the police "problems" that Dan easily debunks - with actual facts - are the other things to be aware of and considered before you vote.  If the candidate is for banning "assault rifles" and for "defunding the police," you will know for sure not to vote for that candidate.  Be careful, though, they can be really good at hiding their true beliefs, too.  Politicians can be tricky.  That's why you need to be sure you know about four of the top myths about police, which Dan gets to in his last segment.

Yes, I know, in the show description above, it mentions a Spygate story and the debate over the Second Amendment.  I'm very sorry that I have to disappoint you, but Dan doesn't ever get to either of those topics in this episode.  But that is perfectly fine, as the show content today is meant to counter the call for defunding the police and all of the other BS that Liberals are talking about.  I call it, Defending the Police, which is something that we need people like Dan to do, especially with his experience and perspectives.  And, it is all worth it, when he shows the President of the Minneapolis City Council, Lisa Bender, totally making a fool of herself by doubling down on her proposal to dismantle the Minneapolis police force.  It seems absolutely absurd to even suggest getting rid of law enforcement, and one of these days, I'll tell you my theory about why Liberals are suggesting this.

That's all I've got today, folks, but if you haven't seen today's show yet, this Episode 1270 is great, and you need to see it.

SHOW NOTES for Episode 1270

The Battle Lines Have Been Drawn ~ Ep. 1269 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode I address the insane “defund the police movement” and I debunk liberal myths about policing which are being used to fuel rage. I also address the inside story of the NYPD chaos and the Secret Service’s political fights.

So, there is this little piece of advice that Dan Bongino has for those out there that want to defund the police.  This is being discussed in liberal cities, like in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.  And it isn't just stopping at defunding the police. In Minneapolis, they actually voted to dismantle the police force.  I really think that they should reconsider that proposal.  Doing away with the police force is not going to lead to any great civilization with no crime.  Actually, it would have the exact opposite affect.  Yep, just my personal opinion, based on what I know is true.  There are still unbelievably evil sociopathic people out there, and without any type of law enforcement, it would be total chaos and anarchy. 

There are three big reasons for having plenty of very well trained law enforcement officers:  The police are there to possibly prevent crimes when possible, stop crimes while they are occurring, and investigating crimes that have already occurred.   In this post, I want to focus on explaining and exploring each of those elements, which should help people understand why defunding the police is a really horrible idea. 

In the case of crime prevention, there's a thing called deterrence.  I'm sorry, but anybody that thinks that the criminal thinks about what happens if they get caught, prosecuted and found guilty, and incarcerated, is a deterrent, I would have to say they are wrong.  I know that seems hard to believe.  I couldn't even fathom the thought of being locked up in a cell, for any amount of time.  Of course, now, people are being let OUT of jail because of the Wuhan Coronavirus, so even the thought of incarceration isn't going to deter many of the hardened criminals.  The REAL deterrent to keep a crime from occurring is a police presence.   Police patrols in the squad cars, plainly marked and obvious to the criminals, and even the walking beat patrols, DO deter crime.  Defunding the police would greatly reduce the manpower needed for this element of fighting crime:  Prevention by deterrence.

The next element is very critical to your safety in this world.  Being able to call 911 when a crime is being committed, and having officers arrive soon enough to possibly save your life, would be very beneficial for your health and safety.  Of course, they can't always get to you in time, but they will try their hardest:  Lights, sirens and the whole nine yards.  But throw in a huge manpower shortage, and large gaps in coverage, and you're going to have a very serious problem.  Sadly, there are areas that would see much less coverage than is needed, and that would be in the rougher neighborhoods.  They would suffer the most.   Like Dan talks about in this episode, the police come to emergencies sometimes just to protect the fire fighters and/or the EMTs.  And who is going to direct traffic in the case of accidents on the freeway, to keep everybody safe, including you?

Finally, there is the third element for the need for plenty of funding for the police.  It always seems to be a problem when a crime has been committed, and that hopefully somebody will investigate it.  That could be you, someday:  Wanting justice for a crime that hurts you or a loved one.  Now think about it, if police departments are defunded, and they don't have the personnel to investigate, you'll be left in the dark, with no recourse (except for being a real life Charles Bronson "Death Wish" vigilantes, which you DON'T want!).   Of course, with a lack of funding, and many officers leaving the police departments, you then lose the experienced officers you would want as investigators.  There is only so much they can do.  And yet, you will still want the crime solved, and not become a cold crime.  But no, your police department was defunded, and all the good investigators went elsewhere. 

Now, when I was watching this episode, I heard Dan say that when a crime is being committed, "Who are you going to call, Ghost Busters?"  That hit me on two different levels.  First of all, that is the perfect description of the ignorance of the Liberals, and tells you how little they have thought through their suggestion that the police can be defunded or eliminated.  But the second level, one that I care about, and might mean nothing to you, is my question in the back of my mind:  Is Dan Bongino reading my blogs or tweets?  Just wondering.  I'd be honored if he was.

Please watch this episode if you haven't already.  Let me know if you think I am right, which you can do by sharing the link and tweet(s) I do to promote this wonderful episode.  Thank you, Dan Bongino, for all that you do, and have done in law enforcement.

From the youtube.com video description:

Democrat and Former CIA Officer Bryan Dean Wright says if Secretary of Defense Mark Esper doesn't see what's going on he should leave.

Tucker starts off the segment with  a lot of passion, and teaches a bit of Civics 101, about our elected officials, like the President, who is the Commander in Chief, and who controls the military; thus, that is the way we keep Democracy in tact.  Believe me, that is a very simplified version of Tucker's intro to this segment.

Then comes Bryan Dean Wright, the former CIA Officer that has some major problems with the Secretary of Defense, Mark Esper, because of what had been stated by the Secretary this last week.  While watching his portion of this segment, I was wondering how this guy could be a Democrat!  Unless I missed something here, and please let me know if I did, Bryan sounds like he has a firm grasp of what the Founders intended with our Constitution, and was firmly in favor of defending and protecting our Constitution, in order to keep this country together.  That just doesn't sound like many Democrats that I've heard talking lately.  Well, maybe we can get this Democrat to come over to our side, and walk away from the Democrats. I'm just sayin'...

Why Socialism Sucks. An Interview with Dinesh D’Souza ~ Ep. 1268 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this show, I interview author Dinesh D’Souza about the growing threat of socialism in the United States. We discuss his new book “The United States of Socialism” available here.

When you stop and listen to what Dan and Dinesh are saying, you will realize that this truly is a battle of ideas between Freedom loving Americans, and those that are trying to turn this country toward Socialism.  As you will learn from this interview, the type of battle that the Socialists have turned to in the 21st Century has been to engage in Cultural Warfare.  During the days when Marx wrote his Communist Manifesto, the strategy was division by pitting the workers against the entrepreneurs.  The poor against the rich.  In this century, it is about dividing on race, gender, religion and any other type of division that they can find.

In one of the great segments in this interview, they discuss Antifa.  Dinesh really nails it, and if you look very carefully, there is a lot of correlation between the riots and Antifa, who appears to have had major involvement in the coordination of the riots in many cities across the United States.

There is no doubt that you will find this interview to be very informative.  And if you are paying very close attention, you should also learn the reason for not ever voting for Demonicrats.  Don't be surprised by what else you may learn from this great interview.

SHOW NOTES for Episode 1268

Liberals Are All In On Chaos ~ Ep. 1267 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode I address the Democrats pushing to “defund the police,” and the chaos that would result from this nonsense. I also address the epic failure of Rod Rosenstein to account for the Spygate scandal. Finally, I discuss the incredibly economic numbers which may indicate we’re moving back to prosperity.

Don't worry about a thing, folks, the Liberals in the major urban areas and Blue states, have it all under control. No, Dan didn't say that, and I'm being so sarcastic. It must be Sarcastic Saturday, right? Well, while some of those states and cities were still in lock downs, or maybe allowed to open their small businesses, while being forced to work with half, or less, of their normal pre-Wuhan revenues, so they could institute "social distancing" practices.

Meanwhile, the people in those areas were allowed to go out and protest the murder of George Floyd, and while they were at it, bad elements of society came along and caused massive amounts of property damage, looting and pillaging, and destroying the very businesses that would be hiring many people after the lockdowns were over. Geniuses. Really, I don't think those people thought it out very well. I'm speaking of the politicians. With all the people out peacefully marching, and some without wearing protective masks, will we be seeing a massive spike of new Coronavirus cases? Will we see the number of hospitalizations become overwhelming, and Coronavirus deaths spiraling out of control? Those are the questions that I've been asking since the protests became real following the public execution by the police of a Minnesota man.  But, can I ask, what happens if there isn't some kind of spike from the lack of social distancing?  Were we duped and had our livelihoods taken away for no reason?

Despite this episode being loaded for bear, and there is a lot that Dan will get to, probably the biggest attention grabber for me was when he discussed the Brian Fallon tweet that says, "Defund the police."   In case you didn't see it, I did a retweet with comment on my timeline, where I say, "What a total moron for tweeting this. Has anyone actually thought this through? When somebody invades their homes, who are they going to call, Ghost Busters? Is Superman going to come save them? Brian Fallon's tweet is 10 times more absurd than anything I can say about it." 

So, is it just me that thinks that those calling for defunding their police, or even dismantling the police force, have not thought it through very carefully?  Yes, Mr. Floyd's death was terribly tragic, horrifying for everyone (except cave dwellers) that saw it in the videos and/or news channels.  While the thing that happened should be treated as an anomaly, by several rogue cops, the Liberal left is telling everybody that it is systemic racism.  I do not agree with that assessment.

In yesterday's post, I had written something that I want to correct. I was speaking of Demonicrat politicians, and I wrote: "Yes, there are still some very bad people out there, and SOME of them will eventually face another election." I should have added the following: "And some day they will be face to face with their Maker."  Maybe too blunt, but there is a point to this.  Racism really isn't wide spread, or systemic, in America. 

Since my days of childhood in the 50's and 60's, vast improvements have been made.  I don't see racism like I saw it 50 years ago.  Not even close.  I won't deny that there are still improvements to be made!  Yes, that is something we can all unite on, and we can do it despite the influence of the dark forces of evil that need economically challenged people that will depend on the government, from cradle to grave.   We can, and we will make those changes, and a lot of that needs to be done at the ballot box in all national, state, and local elections. Just sayin'...

Okay, as usual, I've had my rant for the day.  Please keep in mind that I do hope you watch the Dan Bongino Show episodes that I have been placing in many of my posts.  For me, watching them has been a very important part of my days and nights.  I get to see Dan qualify my values and beliefs, and knowing that I'm not alone out here, in flyover country, "just a nobody" that believes that America is still a great country, and a miracle that really shouldn't have happened.  (Yes, in this episode, Dan will explain that, too!)

No, I know I'm NOT alone, and definitely NOT a nobody!  And there is this:  For those of us that love America, many of us believe that President Donald Trump is making America great again, and that he will continue to do so if elected this November for another four years.  Now, we do have some new challenges that need to be worked out, but with 2.5 million Americans going back to work in the latest numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)... And that leftist "economist" Paul Krugman denied could be true, with a tweet that apparently said that the BLS fudged the numbers, but had to walk back.  Enough said about that hack.

Get the popcorn ready, and have at it!  It is seriously one of Dan's best since I've been watching him.  Ding, ding, ding!   (You will only get that if you are watching The Dan Bongino Show.)  Roll the tape!

I also address the disastrous Rod Rosenstein hearing on Capitol Hill and the total collapse of the collusion hoax. Finally, I address the new movement to kneel before others to virtue signal.

Dan begins this episode by talking about the people that were kneeling, to atone for their long history of racism, owning slaves, making people who were Black Americans sit in special sections of restaurants, or at the back of a bus.  Huh?  In one of the videos I saw, not one of those people could have been around before President Lincoln freed the slaves, and then fought a long, bloody civil war for, in the hopes of uniting this country once again, and making all people FREE.  No, and I didn't see too many of those folks that were kneeling that were even old enough to see the days of segregation, or heard their grandparents calling Americans of African heritage "colored people."  Yes, I do remember those days, and I am ashamed that those things did happen, when I was growing up.

But, like Dan says, unless you are a racist, their is no reason for personal guilt.  We should not kneel before any man.  Like Dan, I only kneel before the Lord, and I have plenty to be repentant for, in God's eyes. Racism isn't one of my faults, though, thank you Lord.  Racism and anti-Semitism disgust me to no end.  There is a little back story to that.  When I was in Junior Highschool (now called Middle School), I was tormented by a bunch of bullies for being of a particular ethnic descent. 

My father was of Czech heritage, a full blooded Czech!  My mother wasn't, however, which made me only half-Czech, but I still had a Czech surname, of course.  That name alone made me a target.  Oh, it wasn't just classmates that tormented me.  There was at least one teacher that called me "Little Bohemie," in front of the other students in that Industrial Arts class.  I could walk down one of the hallways of that school, and dreaded every step, figuring some kid would either spit on me or slug me.  Yep.  It really was that bad.  Just because of my heritage, and being a little size-challenged.

So, there you go, it is amazing that I had to go through that anxiety, but I did get through it.  Things changed by the time I got to high school.  It helped that I had grown six inches, too.  (Long story that I'll tell you some other day.)  By that time, America was changing for the better, too.  Civil Rights, school desegregation, and all of that, were starting to happen.  No, we didn't see drastic changes in America over night, either.  There were still many people, on the wrong side, that fought against it as it progressed.  And then, as Dan will tell you about in the first block of this episode, Liberal Demonicrats came in control of all of the biggest cities.  There are a lot of people to blame for the plight of large minority populations in urban areas.  And it is not for the values that Dan, or I, or President Trump hold.  It was the people that developed a large amount of dependency on government, and the Demonicrats that held that carrot out in front of them, just to get votes.  Believe me, Dan crushes it in that segment.

Well, my personal experiences and thoughts about what Dan talked about were needed here.  But in regard to the rest of this episode, let me say it would be best for me to just let you go see it for yourself.  I had to hesitate before I wrote about this episode, not sure about what I wanted to say.  Obviously, it all came out in the way I wanted to tell you about my personal experience with bigotry and mistreatment, just because of my ethnic heritage!  Otherwise, I would have deleted this, and started over.  I can't even fathom, completely, what people of African ancestry have had to deal with.  Yes, there are still some very bad people out there, and SOME of them will eventually face another election.  We still have challenges facing us, obviously, but together, we can overcome them.  What would really be deeply troubling, is if we didn't try.  But kneeling down is not what is required.  Believe me.

My Apologies ~ Ep. 1265 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the exploding controversy over this action by President Trump. I discuss the new revelations in the Mike Flynn case which will rock your core. I also address my appearance on Hannity last night and I explain what happened.

On a very sincere note to begin the show, Dan gives a very heart felt mea culpa for using the Lord's name in vain when he was on the Sean Hannity Show on Tuesday (June 2, 2020).  He was in total repentance, fully acknowledging his guilt, and apologizing for what he did.  Umm, do you remember when former President Obama's pastor, "Reverend" Jeremiah Wright gave his mea culpa for using the Lord's name in vain?  Well, I don't either!  I don't think he did, unless the press never reported that.

It was great to see Dan getting back to the Gen. Mike Flynn saga in the show.  I thought it was a highlight moment of the ages when Dan briefed us on the Noel Francisco Brief in regard to Michael Flynn's Petition for Writ of Mandamus to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.  So, the Solicitor General of the United States would just make it all up?  Just alluding to what Liberals will probably tell you.  You better try real hard, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff or CNN and PMSNBC dimwits, because it's going to be pretty difficult to discredit the people that signed that little note to an Appeals Court.  Good luck with that.  They'd have to be morons to attempt that sabotage.  Oh, wait...

Okay, I'm on a roll here, but there is SO much to this show for you to see and hear for yourself.  Only if you are trying to write a blog about it do you have to keep going back to his Show for information, because otherwise, this one will tell you right up front that this is about a true battle between good and evil.  And you know?  I think the police are the good guys!  And they will try to keep protestors and the public safe to the best of their abilities, and sometimes at a very high cost. I hope and pray that the protestors get very smart, which they truly are, and start turning in the REAL bad guys that have been hijacking a legitimate cause, for very evil purposes.  I'll let Dan explain.

Trump Takes Back the Street ~ Ep. 1264 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the organized ANTIFA insurrection against the United States. I also address the latest attempt by the tech tyrants to destroy conservatives and the President.

I am really happy to report that Dan was totally on his A-Game in this episode.  What a great hour or two I spent watching this episode.  If you haven't seen it yet, you really should!

Dan's normal exuberance was back, I tell ya!   I could really see his excitement level lifting off the charts when he started talking about what President Trump did on Monday, when he got done with the press statement, and then headed over to St. John's.  Yes, Dan was a Secret Service agent, assigned to the Presidential detail, and knew exactly what the thoughts were of the agents when President Trump headed over to the church.  That was kind of cool to see how Dan explained it, and tore the media up for their trash-talking about the incident.  You can see that in Dan's first block of this episode.

There happened to be a very interesting tweet that I saw today, before writing this.  The first part of the tweet asks, "If VERITAS can infiltrate Antifa, what do you think the DOJ has been doing?"  Well, if you haven't heard about Antifa being designated as a terrorist organization, then you've probably been watching too much mainstream news.  In fact, the MSM totally ignores the fact that Antifa is responsible for a lot of the rioting in the big cities.  They actually had all the supplies needed, staged around the cities, such as gasoline, bricks, and various objects that could do a lot of harm to people and property.  I guess if the liberal media doesn't pick up on this story, they're going to look awfully stupid.  When the DOJ/FBI starts rounding up those critters, what is the MSM going to say then?  And, by the way, Dan has a few things to say about members of Antifa that will delight you.  Those Antifa members?  Total wimps... chumps... and he had other things that he couldn't say because of keeping the show family friendly, but he really wanted to.

So, nuke your popcorn, and enjoy the show!

This Isn’t a Protest Anymore, This is an Insurrection ~ Ep. 1263 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the protests which have been hijacked and have now evolved into an insurrection.

I'm pretty sure that I must be on the same wavelength that Dan Bongino is on.   I was definitely not surprised about how he put the show together on Monday.  After this last weekend?  I was glued to the TV and other venues to see what was going on.  I was very disturbed.  And obviously, Dan was just as torn up inside, and probably much more, being where he has worked in his past.

About everything that I had been thinking, Dan verified in this episode.  Starting with him identifying the three groups, Dan had me right there.  The actual protestors, taking advantage of their Constitutional Rights to address the government with their grievances.  If I was a lot healthier, I'd be joining with them!  Then, there was the criminal element, that looted and destroyed property.  They were the perfect patsies for the 3rd group, the radical left instigators of the violence.

Because of the enormous amount of violence in the form of rioting, looting, and property damage, they 3rd group, the radicals, of hijacked the message of the protestors. They even hijacked the Rights of the protesters in the First Amendment in the Constitution.  And now, the rioters are the news, rather than those that want to peacefully express their belief - whether you agree with them or not - that there is excessive use of force by the police against the minorities in America.

So, here is Dan in yesterday's episode.  I think you can understand his very somber attitude, and will be aware of that from the very beginning of the show.

SHOW NOTES for Episode 1263

MLK Jr.'s niece quotes her uncle following nights of violent protests ~ Fox & Friends Video

Dr. Alveda King joins Jedediah Bila on 'Fox & Friends.'

Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, a Democrat, says it like it is. She says, "We are better than this as a country." Right on, Sister!

And then, bring on Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Listen to what she says. Violence isn't the way to be heard. It doesn't bring us together. Come together, in faith, unity and love. And then communicate. And there is no need to scream at each other. That solves nothing.

I am hoping that this post gets around. It might, but it will depend on you. I'm not looking for any glory, other than from the Lord. Rather than destroying and stealing property, let's just calmly discuss what can be done to solve the problems of social injustice. I'm with you on that, but would much rather solve those problems peacefully. You are being heard. Now, stop the violence.
