Important!
Emergency Preparedness.
Being prepared for an emergency is something that we don't often think about until we are in one. Then we wish we had taken steps earlier. Hopefully this podcast will prompt our listeners to take under advisement what Captain Willis says and implement what is applicable to their situation.

Past Due: $100 Trillion plus interest 10%.
Planning on spending that money? Do you think that it is justified to accept? There are many takes on this settlement for work and discrimination during the 400 years of black slavery and the Jim Crow era. This degradation continues up until today.
Initially my reaction to Reparations was “I don’t need any handouts”. But further evaluation led to this thought: My ancestors contributed a concrete value to this country and that was labor and blood. That has to be considered as unpaid salary. This salary should be passed down to their descendants. This is just logical. This is not like the Japanese or Jewish reparations and should not be compared. Black Slavery was continuous labor and discrimination. There is no comparison!

Is Critical Race Theory a clear and present danger to this country? Why are the southern states rushing to block the true history of our country?
Andino Ward joins us this week to discuss Critical Race Theory.
We did not realize that CRT would bring such strong disagreements within our team. It did. So we have to do Part II.
Definition
Critical race theory is an academic concept that is more than 40 years old. The core idea is that race is a social construct, and that racism is not merely the product of individual bias or prejudice, but also something embedded in legal systems and policies.
The basic tenets of critical race theory, or CRT, emerged out of a framework for legal analysis in the late 1970s and early 1980s created by legal scholars Derrick Bell, Kimberlé Crenshaw, and Richard Delgado, among others.
26 States are taking action to circumvent CRT and the Republicans are livid!

You probably heard the announcement: the Social Security cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, for 2026. Another small increase — a few percentage points if we’re lucky — supposedly designed to help seniors keep up with inflation. But when you compare that number to what’s happening with Medicare premiums and other insurance costs, it’s painfully clear: this isn’t a raise. It’s a pay cut.

In this episode we discuss FBI Director Kash Patel's spending our hard earned money on girlfriend protection using FBI SWAT. Trump did not fund dependents on social programs, such as SNAP during the Shutdown. They had no money to eat. But, they can pay for security for a girlfriend? Alexis Wilkins is not married to Patel, they do not live together, they live in different states. WTF? Check out our podcast “Show Me the Money” When his girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins, performed at an NRA convention, she had an FBI SWAT team as her bodyguards.
The agents were members of a special unit trained to rescue hostages and penetrate barricaded buildings, according to The New York Times. Once the team had secured the convention center, they departed. But Patel didn’t like that. He reportedly lambasted the team’s commander for leaving Wilkins without protection while she chatted with fans on the convention floor. How does this impact the Community? Our Taxpayer Dollars are being wasted unjustifiably.

Walter Latham, Ernest, and Briggette Stokes discuss socioeconomic and political topics impacting the United States. A central portion of the dialogue focuses on economic systems like capitalism, socialism, and communism, with Ernest arguing that the current political threat is the move toward fascism as evidenced by actions like militarizing police and suppressing opposition. The conversation also shifts to recent election results, particularly the success of a young mayor, Amal Dhani, and the challenges of low voter turnout, which is further exacerbated by political tactics like redistricting. Finally, the speakers address the impact of the government shutdown on federal workers and engage in a heated debate over the efficacy and terminology surrounding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and affirmative action.
