Conservative talk is the last beacon of Free Speech in America. Here on AGR, we believe the Greatness of America comes from the Greatness within you! If you're not ready to give up on your country, then this is the podcast for you!
You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for August 7, 2026.
We open up with a deep dive into the legal fight over President Trump's new White House ballroom, breaking down the deceptively simple question the Supreme Court may ultimately have to answer: is replacing the demolished East Wing an "improvement" to the executive residence, or is it a brand new building requiring congressional approval? We walk through the history of White House alterations, the D.C. Circuit's 2-1 ruling against the administration, and why this fight matters for presidential authority going forward.
From there, we hit our Top 3 stories you need to know: Marsha Blackburn's win in the Tennessee GOP gubernatorial primary, and Tesla and SpaceX's massive joint venture to build the TeraFab chip factory in Texas.
We dig into fresh Labor Department numbers showing manufacturing output and productivity are both up, pushing back on predictions that tariffs would tank American factories.
Our American Mama Teri Netterville joins us to tackle a listener question about whether men have the right to ask their girlfriends to dress more modestly.
We break down new data on the shrinking foreign-born workforce and what it means for wages and job competition for American workers, then dig deep into the new mutual defense pact between Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, and what it means for a boxed-in Iran, including our take on the argument that Trump has already won the Iran war.
We cover Kellogg's promise to strip artificial dyes from its cereals a year ahead of schedule, then it's time for Fake News Friday, our weekly game separating real headlines from the ones we made up ourselves.
We close out with a look at the growing rift between the Democratic establishment and the Democratic Socialists of America, and Washington D.C.'s record-breaking 4th of July fireworks display.
May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

President Trump signed two executive orders targeting birth tourism and birthright citizenship — one ending the practice of foreign nationals flying in just to give birth on American soil, and another restricting citizenship documents for children of alien enemies, foreign terrorists, and commercial surrogacy arrangements. We break down what's actually in these orders, why Stephen Miller is calling birth tourism "an industry built around deception," and why we think the Supreme Court's original birthright citizenship ruling all but guarantees these orders end up in court.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, we cover the Senate Homeland Security Committee's vote to hold Dr. Fauci in contempt of Congress after he pleaded the Fifth 111 times, newly uncovered documents showing 24 state attorneys general plotted lawsuits against the Trump administration a full year before he took office, and Mitch McConnell's release from a rehab facility after nearly two months out of the public eye.
Nearly one-third of Democrats now openly identify as socialists, according to investigative journalist Peter Schweizer — and we dig into how the party establishment got hijacked by its far-left flank, with even Bernie Sanders declining to endorse a Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate whose platform includes canceling Thanksgiving.
Our American Mama, Terri Netterville, tackles a listener question on digital dashboards versus physical buttons and knobs — with stories ranging from a Tesla-hating road trip to an unhackable 1987 Chevy truck and the rise of driverless cars.
We're Digging Deep this week on the U.S. immigration court backlog, which sits at 3.5 million pending cases — down from Biden-era highs, but still requiring roughly 10,000 case resolutions a day to clear in a year. We explain why removal orders for no-shows have spiked and why ICE's work is only beginning once the courts catch up.
Plus, questions swirl over Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei, who hasn't been seen or heard from since the war started, and Chuck Schumer's endorsement of a Michigan Senate candidate who's publicly called for Schumer's own ouster as Democratic leader.
Our Bright Spot: Argentina's President Javier Milei proposes a "fiscal shackle" law that would freeze politicians' salaries and halt federal funding to the states the moment the government runs a deficit — an idea Louis and Stephen think might just be crazy enough to work in Washington. Plus, we close with the story of a Rhode Island bake stand that was stolen — and the stranger who rebuilt it for free.

Democratic Socialists of America candidates had a big night in Tuesday's primaries — especially in Michigan, where Abdul El-Sayed narrowly won the Democrat Senate nomination over Haley Stevens, and "Squad" member Rashida Tlaib fended off a primary challenge. We break down what these wins actually mean, why El-Sayed's margin was so much tighter than the polling predicted, and why we think a Medicare-for-All, defund-Israel platform is a movement wish list, not a governing blueprint.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, we cover El-Sayed's win and what it means for Michigan's Senate race in November, the Senate's confirmation of Dr. Erica Schwartz to lead the CDC, and an 11th Circuit ruling upholding Florida's law banning children from sexually explicit drag shows.
Where in the world is Mitch McConnell? We dig into the seven-week silence, the two still photos, and the questions nobody in D.C. seems to want to answer.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, tackle a listener question on why high achievers draw so much hate — with stories ranging from slashed tires to Elon Musk's "world's first former trillionaire" moment.
We're Digging Deep this week on two fronts: a House Select Committee report warning that Chinese state-linked telecom companies still have equipment and data access inside U.S. networks, and a pair of California stories — a former far-left homeless shelter worker's public break with the movement, and San Francisco's slow climb back from the brink compared to Los Angeles' continued decline.
Plus, President Trump's "don't make me pull this car over" approach to Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, and Senator John Fetterman's warning to his own party about the rising influence of socialists and communists in Democratic politics.
Our Bright Spot: a federal judge blocks New York's law banning ICE agents from wearing face masks, ruling the state can't dictate how federal agents do their jobs. Plus, we close with the story of a contractor who lost his tools in a lightning strike — and the nine-year-old son who tried to make it right.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for August 4, 2026.
We kick things off with WNBA coach Cheryl Reeve's contradictory stance on gender and sports — she's all for trans inclusion on the court, but suddenly cares about protecting women's jobs when men start taking WNBA coaching positions. We break down why that logic doesn't hold up, and use Caitlin Clark's rise (and the Tiger Woods parallel) to make the case that talent, not identity, drives audiences and revenue.
In the news roundup, we cover Todd Blanche's move closer to confirmation as Attorney General, the DOJ's attempt at its first-ever deportation under the Alien Terrorist Removal Court, and Hadi Matar's conviction for the attack on Salman Rushdie. Then we dig into a resurfaced story about federal funding and aborted fetal tissue research, and the policy changes under the Trump administration that have curbed it.
We're joined by American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson to tackle a listener question about the risks of running an Airbnb, sharing wild stories of "teen takeover" ragers that have destroyed people's homes — and asking whether there are ever real consequences for the people responsible.
For Digging Deep, we take on Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's claim that she avoids "even the appearance of bias" — made, ironically, on Michelle Obama's podcast. Then we get into the messy, headline-grabbing story of Ohio Congressman Max Miller, facing domestic violence allegations from his ex-wife (whose father is a sitting senator) as an Ohio ballot deadline looms.
Plus, we look at Spain allocating millions to migrant minors while native Spanish children face deep poverty, we take a raw look at the Twin Falls, Idaho In-N-Out shooting and the armed bystander who stopped it, and we bring you the latest on Jeanine Pirro's clash with the White House. We close things out with a Bright Spot about a Nashville police officer who talked a man down from a bridge with three simple words.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for August 3, 2026.
We open with New Jersey Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer saying publicly what many moderate Democrats have been thinking privately — that the Democratic Socialists of America should form their own party rather than using the Democratic Party as a vehicle for building socialist power. We explain why this is significant: the DSA is not an ordinary faction within the Democratic coalition. Its own website describes its mission as building a party designed to defeat capitalist oligarchy, draft a new constitution, and create a democratic socialist republic. It does not want to reform the Democratic Party. It wants to destroy it from within and replace it with something fundamentally different. We walk through what communism actually promises — from each according to their ability, to each according to their need — and what that has produced every single time it has been tried.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump announced he called off what he described as the biggest planned military strike since World War II after Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other Middle Eastern nations asked him to pause as they work to finalize a denuclearization deal with Iran. Then the FBI confirmed that Iranian hackers breached water systems in seven states, causing loss of pressure and flooding, and warned local utilities to disconnect control systems from the internet and ensure manual operation capability — with Minnesota alone confirming 30 targeted water systems. And Todd Blanch's path to Attorney General confirmation cleared after Senators Cornyn and Tillis said they were satisfied by the DOJ's official statement that the anti-weaponization settlement fund was dead — meaning Blanch now appears to have the votes to be confirmed.
We also cover the contradiction at the heart of the Iran negotiations — where President Trump says a deal is in progress and Tehran says no negotiation is happening. We explain why this is unsurprising: the Quran permits lying to enemies, Iran has considered itself at war with the United States for nearly 50 years, and the decimation of Iran's leadership structure in the initial strikes has left multiple competing voices with no single authoritative negotiating position. We say what we believe: Trump has done as much as he can to avoid full military escalation. We're not sure it's avoidable.
We also cover Zoran Mamdani's government-run grocery stores — where residents will need a special shopper's card to access 30% below-market prices — and note the delicious irony that New York City requires an ID card to buy government-subsidized groceries but calls voter ID racist. We suggest that if they called it a shopper's card at the polling place, Democrats might finally get on board.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson discuss whether pulling over for a funeral procession is still considered basic respect — and both say yes, without hesitation. Teri shares the story of her mother, who was 13 years old when her father died and never forgot watching cars pull over and people step outside to stand at attention for a man they had never met. Kimberly shares the story of accidentally wedging herself between two limousines in a funeral procession while driving from Benton to Bossier — realized it mid-drive, and discreetly exited as quickly and apologetically as possible. The larger point: funerals aren't for the dead. They're for the living. And when strangers pull over to honor someone they never knew, the family feels it.
We dig deep into the Democrat Promise to America — a document modeled on Newt Gingrich's Contract with America, produced by a Democrat congressman and circulated to all 212 House Democrats for signatures. The document says the party is capitalist, not socialist. That it wants safety, not lawlessness. That it will prioritize balancing the budget. That government should solve problems, not create them. That it embraces free speech and persuasion over purity. And that Democrats are proud, not ashamed of America. Out of 212 House Democrats, 15 signed it. Fifteen. We let that sit there.
We also cover a one-mile radius in Flushing, New York — where social adult daycares have been billing Medicaid for more than $100 million per year, with storefronts shuttered and rooms empty. We connect it to the broader point that waste, fraud, and abuse in government programs are not accidents. They are incentives — what happens when bureaucracies have no accountability, no profit motive, and no one asking whether the money is actually doing any good.
We also cover Capital One's motion to dismiss a lawsuit by President Trump for debanking his company after January 6th — in which Capital One's defense is that it was actually concerned about money laundering. No evidence presented. Bold strategy.
For our Bright Spot, Tuskegee University has implemented a new dress code requiring students to arrive on campus in a business suit and proper shoes — as if heading to a business meeting — prohibiting bedroom slippers, bonnets, do-rags, and revealing clothing in class or the cafeteria. We make the case this is not respectability politics. It is the understanding that how you present yourself shapes how you see yourself — and that you walk differently in dress shoes than you do in sneakers. Tuskegee is preparing its students for a lifetime of success. We call it a bright spot.
And we close with words of wisdom on dressing for success — from Ralph Lauren, Zig Ziglar, Susan C. Young, and Dabashish Mridha. The clothes don't make the man. But it helps if you look in the mirror and see success staring back at you.
May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 31, 2026.
We open with President Trump pointing to the migrant crisis in Spain's North African territory of Ceuta as a warning for the United States. Tens of thousands of migrants overwhelmed the small Spanish enclave in a single day, straining law enforcement and leaving dozens dead. We compare the scenes from Spain to what Americans witnessed at the southern border during the Biden administration, discuss why Trump believes voters need to remember those images before the next election, and examine how quickly both the media and the public forget just how chaotic the border became.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the Texas Stock Exchange officially begins trading in Dallas, marking another step in the financial migration away from New York. Then U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro moves to dismiss vandalism charges against former Olympian Davey Hearn after new evidence showed damage to the National Mall reflecting pool was caused by faulty construction rather than criminal activity. And President Trump announces the Freedom Haulers initiative, designed to help military veterans transition into commercial trucking while replacing foreign truck drivers with qualified American veterans.
We also discuss Boy George's decision to release a song honoring the victims of the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel—and the backlash that followed. After publicly supporting Israel and condemning terrorism, Boy George was dropped from a production of Jesus Christ Superstar. We examine how standing with victims of terrorism has become controversial in parts of the entertainment world and what that says about today's cultural climate.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, answer a listener question about friends who always strike up conversations with strangers. What starts as a lighthearted discussion turns into a funny look at how getting older seems to remove any fear of awkward conversations, why some people can't resist complimenting complete strangers in the grocery store, and whether younger generations raised on technology will lose that habit altogether.
We dig into new membership data from the Democratic Socialists of America showing that only four percent of its members work in blue-collar jobs, despite the organization's constant claims to represent the working class. We contrast the rhetoric with the reality before turning to Houston, where Texas' state takeover of the Houston Independent School District transformed 121 failing schools into zero failing schools in just over three years. We examine why some critics still refuse to celebrate one of the most dramatic education turnarounds in the country.
We also cover Maine Democratic Senate candidate Troy Jackson's unusual family story before another round of Fake News Friday, featuring everything from the Alamo to WNBA betting controversies and some headlines that are just bizarre enough to sound believable.
And we close with 88-year-old Libby Downey, who has already spent decades serving her community as a nurse, city council member, and volunteer—but decided it was finally time to pursue a lifelong dream. This fall she'll begin law school with plans to become a mediator after graduation, proving it's never too late to start the next chapter.
May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 30, 2026.
We open with the Texas Senate race — where Democratic nominee James Tallarico released a polished campaign ad called Waking Up, featuring him driving a full-sized Dodge Ram 1500 through Texas oil fields and farm country. There's one problem: it's not his truck. Tallarico drives a Chevrolet Colorado, but its tinted windows made the interior too dark for filming, so his campaign rented the Dodge from a local company. We make the distinction between normal campaign staging and renting a persona — because the entire ad was designed to sell Tallarico as a natural extension of working Texans, and the truck was the centerpiece of that message. We also note that Republicans handed Democrats an opening by nominating Ken Paxton — damaged goods with a messy personal and political record — instead of Wesley Hunt, who would have won this race by a landslide. Texas Republicans got this one wrong.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump's Attorney General nominee Todd Blanch is in limbo after John Cornyn and Thom Tillis signaled they would not support him in the Senate Judiciary Committee — concerned about a proposed fund to compensate victims of political prosecution under Biden, including January 6th defendants, even after Blanch testified under oath the deal was dead. Trump is reportedly considering withdrawing the nomination until both senators leave office in January. Then the federal government demanded Colorado repay $8 million in Medicaid funds after an audit found the state had billed for services totaling more than 24 hours in a single day for the same patients — a mathematical impossibility. Colorado disagrees with the findings. And thousands of military-age North African men breached the border between Morocco and Spain at Ceuta — overwhelming local law enforcement, with at least nine people killed in the chaos. Spain's Supreme Court recently ruled that sea arrivals cannot be deported without due process hearings. Most of Spain's borders are water.
We also cover the WNBA's latest self-inflicted embarrassment — the league itself posted and then deleted a video from All-Star Weekend showing Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers and Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese apparently agreeing to a $400 bet on the outcome of a game between their own teams. The WNBA's own rulebook explicitly prohibits players from wagering on league games, with penalties ranging from fines to lifetime bans. We ask the obvious question: what are the odds that Angel Reese faces the same consequences Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham would face in the same situation?
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson respond to a listener question about the growing number of rules new parents are imposing on grandparents before they can see a newborn — mandatory vaccinations, isolation periods, mask requirements, no kissing — and trace it directly to the damage Anthony Fauci did to medical credibility during COVID. A generation raised on social media sees the exception, not the rule, and draws sweeping conclusions from rare worst-case scenarios. Teri's advice: get the vaccines with 50-year safety records, do your research on the newer ones, and for the love of everything good — let grandparents kiss the babies.
We dig into a J7 report — tracking antisemitic violence in the seven countries with the largest Jewish populations outside Israel — which found that 2025 was the deadliest year for antisemitic attacks in the Western world since 1994. There were 23,000 antisemitic attacks in those seven countries last year alone, including 20 murders of Jewish people motivated by hatred of Jews — three in the United States. We trace the rise to mainstream media coverage of Israel's response to October 7th that portrayed military action against a terrorist organization as genocide — providing ideological cover for people who were already antisemitic to act. We also connect it to the intersectionality framework that positions whoever appears most oppressed as the default sympathetic party — a framework that simultaneously claims to support women, gay people, and Palestinians, without reckoning with the fact that none of those three positions are compatible with each other under Hamas governance.
For our first Bright Spot, President Trump announced that Middle East mediators — including Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey — have reached an agreement on the complete disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza, with a phased plan to rebuild Gaza, establish a new Palestinian government, and guarantee Israel's security. We call it what it is: not a ceasefire, not a pause, but a structured plan — and potentially the most significant Middle East development in a generation.
For our second Bright Spot, the island nation of Micronesia — 75,000 people spread across 607 islands in the South Pacific — used to charge $65 per megabit per second per month for internet access because the government ran the only internet provider. When the government ended its monopoly and allowed private companies in — including Starlink — the price dropped 99% to 78 cents per megabit and internet access jumped from nearly nothing to 88% of the population. All they did was end the government monopoly. We connect it directly to New York City's government grocery store plan — and suggest Mamdani study Micronesia before he opens his first store.
We also cover New York City bodegas allegedly allowing customers to use EBT food stamp cards to purchase kratom — an herbal extract not approved as food, a drug, or a dietary supplement — and potentially THC products. We call it what it is: SNAP trafficking, a federal crime that diverts money intended for nutrition into products that have nothing to do with nutrition.
We also note that families of 9/11 victims are asking organizers of the 25th anniversary Ground Zero memorial to bar Mayor Mamdani from attending — citing his political positions, his anti-Semitic endorsements, and his statement during his campaign that the worst thing about 9/11 was that his aunt feared people were looking at her suspiciously. We say that day belongs to the families and to the fallen — and that Mamdani would be a distraction from both.
And we close with 73-year-old Dave Whitlow of Richmond, Virginia — who has spent eight years volunteering twice a week at the Children's Hospital of Richmond as a professional cuddler of premature babies. On busy days he holds eight different babies, some weighing less than two pounds, giving them the human contact their developing systems need. As he places each one back into their NICU bed, he tells them the same thing: grow strong, grow smart, grow kind. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 29, 2026.
We open with Anthony Fauci's appearance before the Senate Homeland Security Committee — where he invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times over nearly four hours, refusing to answer questions about COVID-19, gain-of-function research, federal records, and his role in shaping the pandemic response. He even invoked the Fifth when asked whether a red folder was sitting in front of him. We walk through the constitutional tension at the heart of the hearing: Biden's sweeping preemptive pardon covers Fauci for any federal offense between 2014 and January 19, 2025 — and under an 1896 Supreme Court ruling, a pardoned witness can no longer claim Fifth Amendment privilege because the danger of prosecution has been removed. Fauci's lawyers are apparently betting the autopenned pardon might be invalidated. We also point out that the Fifth Amendment does not protect a witness from future perjury — meaning the only real jeopardy Fauci faced was if he lied again. His diaries, which he confirmed are his, already prove he lied to Congress about school closures and gain-of-function. Biden may have given him immunity from punishment. He may also have given Congress the power to compel the truth.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Fauci's Senate testimony — 111 Fifth Amendment invocations, a contempt vote expected next week. Then the Trump administration officially banned gain-of-function research globally — expanding last year's China-specific ban to all foreign nations and the United States itself, with HHS and the State Department issuing a joint statement on biosafety standards. And the Senate confirmed Jay Clayton as the new Director of National Intelligence on a party-line 51-47 vote — in part because Clayton refused to tell Democrat senators that he believed Joe Biden won the 2020 election fairly.
We also cover President Trump's ban on importing humanoid robots manufactured in China — framing it as a national security issue rather than a tariff. We explain why this is correct: Chinese robotic firms have been pouring money into R&D, producing advanced prototypes that can lift, run, climb stairs, and mimic human gestures. Importing them would stifle American domestic robotics manufacturing and potentially introduce devices receiving overnight software updates from servers in Beijing.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson take on the trend of celebrity children dropping their fathers' last names when they turn 18 — specifically Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's daughter, and Tom Cruise's daughter Suri. Teri makes the case that this isn't really about the name — it's about what happens when a parent loves winning more than they love their children's relationship with their other parent. She shares a story from their own extended family where a mother kept her children away from their father for 20 years based on lies — and when the truth came out as adults, the son found his father, the father died shortly after, and the son's relationship with his mother was shattered permanently. The data on children without fathers is not ambiguous. The children who are protected from the bitterness of divorce are the ones who grow up most whole.
We dig into Zoran Mamdani's pied-à-terre tax — a second-home tax he promised would affect 13,000 properties. When the city published the list of people subject to the tax, it contained more than 960,000 names and their addresses — effectively doxxing nearly a million New Yorkers, including celebrities who campaigned for Mamdani like Cynthia Nixon, plus Anna Wintour and Woody Allen. It also included people who have lived in their homes as their primary residence for 27 and 30 years respectively, now being billed $43,000 in additional annual taxes on top of their existing property taxes. One resident compared it to a command and control government like Cuba or China. We call it exactly what it is — a communist mayor who said he was going to tax the rich and is now taxing anyone he can find an address for.
We also cover the co-owner of the Seattle Storm WNBA team allegedly approaching two teenage girls holding pro-Sophie Cunningham signs at a game — girls wearing XXXY t-shirts in support of women's sports — and unleashing an expletive-filled rant that left one of them in tears. The team apologized. We note that these girls bought tickets, spent money on parking and concessions, and chose to spend their evening at a Storm game. The ownership treated them as political opponents. We also note that the same signs held at a Fever game in Indianapolis would have received a very different reaction.
For our Bright Spot, Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt introduced the Boasberg Act — named after the Washington D.C. federal judge who has repeatedly blocked Trump administration actions before being overruled by the Supreme Court. The bill does three things: requires fully randomized case assignments so plaintiffs can't judge-shop, implements transparency measures to verify the randomization is actually being followed, and removes a judge from a case if the Supreme Court overrules them in that same case. We call it exactly what it is — a structural fix to a systemic problem that has cost taxpayers time and money and allowed activist judges to function as a one-person veto over the will of the American people.
We also cover Chicago's government grocery store experiment — where Mayor Brandon Johnson gave a company called Yellow Banana $13 million in subsidies to reopen seven Save-A-Lot locations in food deserts, promising $26 million over ten years. Yellow Banana closed all seven stores in less than two years. The reason: you cannot sustain a grocery store selling at below-market prices. New York City is now launching the same experiment. We suggest they call Chicago first.
We also cover Nancy Sinatra's claim on X that the founding fathers would have banned firearms if they'd known about automatic weapons — and explain why this is historically illiterate. The founders specifically ensured colonists could own the weapons of war of their era. The Battle of Lexington and Concord was triggered by the British attempting to confiscate cannons. And the Second Amendment says arms — not muskets.
And we close with 14-year-old Jory Thomas, who brought his lariat camping along the Yellowstone River because he'd been practicing roping every day after school. While camping, he heard cries from the middle of the rushing river — a man clinging to a cooler after his raft hit a bridge upstream. Jory waded in, threw his lariat, roped the man on the first try, and pulled him to shore. He said God was basically putting him in place. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

We open with the growing controversy surrounding Senator Mitch McConnell after Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear publicly called on him to prove he is capable of serving or resign. We examine whether the governor's concerns are legitimate or politically motivated, why McConnell's continued absence has fueled speculation, and what Kentucky's updated election laws mean if the Senate seat were to become vacant before November's election.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump meets separately with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss the Middle East, Ukraine, and expanding the Abraham Accords. The Department of Justice asks the Supreme Court to reinstate President Trump's executive order requiring stricter citizenship verification for mail-in voting, and newly released audio recordings of former President Joe Biden reveal conversations about classified documents and memory lapses that are reigniting questions surrounding the federal investigation.
We also break down the release of more than 1,000 pages of Anthony Fauci's personal diaries, which critics say contradict years of public testimony about his role in school shutdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic. We discuss the diary entries describing conversations with state and local leaders, the growing questions surrounding Fauci's influence over pandemic policy, and why the newly released records are drawing renewed scrutiny from Congress.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, react to Fauci's diaries and discuss what they believe the entries reveal about his leadership during the pandemic. They examine his private reflections, his interactions with political leaders and media personalities, and why they believe the diaries raise serious questions about transparency, accountability, and public trust.
We dig deep into several major stories shaping the country, including the highest national foreclosure rate in nearly seven years and what happens when government intervention distorts the housing market. We also examine controversy surrounding a Smithsonian exhibit describing "whiteness" and whether the museum's messaging promotes unity or division. Finally, we discuss billions of dollars in Chinese funding flowing into American universities and the growing concerns about foreign influence inside U.S. higher education.
We also highlight FIFA President Gianni Infantino's public defense of the United States after the World Cup, praising the tournament's safety, hospitality, and unity while pushing back against critics who predicted chaos. The tournament welcomed millions of fans from around the world without the violence or unrest many expected, making it one of the event's biggest success stories.
And we close with an inspiring story out of California, where 16-year-old lifeguard Ryder heroically rescued a 10-year-old boy from dangerous surf. His quick thinking and bravery caught the attention of President Trump, who announced the young lifeguard will be invited to the White House to be recognized for his actions.

We open with Chris Christie's Sunday morning declaration that the Trump show is over, that Iran has learned the president's threats are just bluster, and that there are no signs the United States is winning. We explain why this is not just wrong — it is reckless. Wars are not won or lost on Sunday talk show segments. But enemies listen. They translate every word. They study our divisions and exploit them. Christie chose to go on national television and tell Tehran to hold on just a little longer on the exact weekend that Iran was sending desperate messages through dozens of third countries begging to restart negotiations — after 13 consecutive days of U.S. bombing had decimated their defense industrial base, their launchers, their radars, and their economy. When critics tell the enemy that America's resolve is crumbling, they are shaping the battlefield in a way that benefits the adversary. That is not speaking truth to power. That is threatening the men and women in uniform.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump attended the White House Correspondents Dinner and delivered a speech roasting CNN's Kaitlin Collins, RFK Jr., Ted Cruz, Gavin Newsom, Rosie O'Donnell, Bruce Springsteen, Chris Christie, J.B. Pritzker, and others — with the jokes about the media landing to dead silence and the Trump 2028 trolling getting the biggest reaction of the night. Then the Maine Democratic Party officially replaced Graham Plattner — who was elected by actual voters — with Troy Jackson, a party insider selected by party leaders, because Plattner's sex scandals made him unelectable. It is Kamala Harris 2024 all over again, except instead of Sleepy Joe, they had Sleazy Graham. And an ISIS-linked attacker drove a van into a crowd at a Berlin Pride parade before exiting with a machete — killing one person and injuring 29 others before being tracked down and shot by police in a Berlin suburb.
We also cover Mayor Mamdani's announcement that New Yorkers should protest when Benjamin Netanyahu visits New York for the UN General Assembly — framing Netanyahu as a war criminal and architect of genocide based on an International Criminal Court warrant the United States does not recognize. We point out that the last protest near Mamdani's home was accompanied by two Muslims attempting to kill everyone in the area with homemade bombs. We also note that foreign policy is not run from city hall in Manhattan, that the Constitution is explicit about this, and that encouraging massive protests based on blood libel lies is not just constitutionally illiterate — it is dangerous.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson report from a campfire conversation in Wyoming — where Teri's Danish-American friend, a naturalized citizen who cannot stand Trump, was asked who she would want as the next president. Her answer: not Gavin Newsom, not AOC. Marco Rubio — because he's presidential, articulate, and could actually bring people together. Terry says that's the first moment she could picture Rubio as president. We explore the historic possibility of a Trump-Vance-Rubio sequential presidency — comparing it to Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe — and what three consecutive terms of the same political coalition would mean for the Democratic Party's long-term survival.
We dig deep into the financial collapse of the Democratic National Committee — reported not by Breitbart but by the New York Times and the Huffington Post. The DNC chair reportedly threw his phone at a staffer during a meeting over the party's finances. The DNC has asked vendors to delay sending bills until after the midterms so the debt doesn't appear on the balance sheet. The party is $2 million in the hole — $18 million in debt against $16 million on hand — and has already mortgaged its national headquarters to secure a $15 million line of credit. The RNC, by contrast, has $128 million cash on hand and zero debt. President Trump's personal war chest adds another $400 million. The Democrats have no message, the message they do have isn't resonating, and the money is not coming in.
We also cover Senator John Kennedy's response on CBS to questions about the SAVE Act — where he calmly explained to Margaret Brennan that election integrity requires exactly two things: prove you are who you say you are to register and vote, and get back to knowing the results on election night instead of election month. We call it exactly what it is — a bright spot. And we note that 70-80% of Americans agree with Kennedy, depending on the poll. The only people who don't are Democrat politicians afraid of their own radical base.
We also cover Hakeem Jeffries telling CNN that 6,600 non-citizens being registered to vote in New Jersey — with hundreds confirmed to have voted — is not a problem, and is actually an example of Republican voter suppression. We say what needs to be said: yes, Hakeem. We are trying to suppress illegal votes. That is exactly what the SAVE Act does. If the Democrat Party needs illegal votes to win, the Democrat Party should not win.
And we close with 11-year-old Nehemiah Turner of Jacksonville, Florida — who started reading books to shelter dogs at the Jacksonville Humane Society, logged 100 volunteer hours becoming the first person in the program to reach that milestone, became a straight-A student in the process, and has now set his sights on 200 hours. The dogs get comfort. Nehemiah gets better at reading. Everybody wins. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 23, 2026.
We open with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Tallarico's reparations proposal — made at a July 20 campaign event in DeSoto — calling for tuition relief, homeownership grants, and government-funded baby bonds for Black Texans, all in the name of repairing past harms. We walk through everything he left undefined: who qualifies, what the eligibility standard is, where the funding comes from, and what the total cost would be. We also walk through the genealogical reality of a multiracial nation — including the head of the NAACP who discovered she had an ancestor on the Mayflower, and the uncomfortable question of what happens when the same family tree contains both slaveholders and slaves. We make the theological point that a grievance machine with no limiting principle is not a policy. It is a dependency engine. The debt of slavery was paid — Lincoln said so, and the Civil War proved it at a cost of more American lives than any conflict before or since. The answer is not racial accounting. It is equal citizenship, strong families, honest education, safe communities, and a culture that celebrates achievement instead of grievance.
In our Top 3, first-time unemployment claims dropped to 187,000 — the lowest level since 1969 under Richard Nixon, coming in 22,000 below the prior week and well under what economists had projected. Fewer layoffs means steadier families. Then a member of Vice President J.D. Vance's Secret Service protective detail was suspended and placed under criminal investigation for allegedly leaking operational security information to the media — specifically complaining about unpredictable travel schedules. A Secret Service agent who can't keep a secret should not be in the Secret Service. And New York City landlords filed a lawsuit against the Mamdani administration's rent freeze — arguing that the Rent Guidelines Board was packed with political allies who then manipulated their own data to justify a two-year freeze on rents for more than a million tenants. We explain what rent freezes actually produce: slumlords, abandoned buildings, and a housing stock that deteriorates because owners cannot raise revenue to maintain it.
We also cover two men stabbed in an unprovoked attack on New York City's Upper West Side — the attacker reportedly shouting Allahu Akbar — one victim Asian, one wearing a yarmulke. We note that Mamdani's response to antisemitic violence in his city is to promise to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. We connect the violence to a broader point: when leadership sets a tone of weakness, confusion, and ideological hate, this is the inevitable result.
Our American Mamas Terry Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the question of whether wives say things to their husbands that would devastate them if said in return — and the answer is an unambiguous yes. Terry admits she tells Kevin his hair is dirty, that he can't wear that outfit, and that mowing the lawn is his job — while acknowledging that if Kevin said any of those things to her it would ruin her day. The conversation becomes a warm, funny, and surprisingly insightful look at how different couples absorb criticism differently, why the way you're raised shapes what you can and cannot say to your spouse, and what happens when a wife goes on strike to make everyone appreciate what she does.
We discuss Sophie Cunningham of the Indiana Fever — who has gone public in defense of women's sports, saying truth matters, biological sex has consequences in competition, and that protecting the integrity of women's athletics is not hatred of anyone. We make the point she is actually making: you can treat transgender people with dignity and still say that female sports should be reserved for biological women. Those two things are not in conflict. They are the only coherent position.
In our Digging Deep segment, Secretary of State Marco Rubio gave what may be the clearest explanation of the Trump Doctrine we have ever heard — summarizing it in one line: Iran says eye for an eye. Trump says a head for an eye. We unpack the game theory behind it — tit for tat with disproportionate response. If you are nice to Trump, he is nice back in equal measure. If you are mean to Trump, he will be worse to you than you could ever possibly imagine. Iran fires on one tanker, the U.S. takes out a port, a tower, and every radar site in reach. Iran fires on two tankers, the U.S. goes on a 12-day bombing campaign eliminating bridges in and out of the country. The mullahs keep acting confused. The reason is they have never seen anything like this from an American president. Rubio also shared that Iran is sending messages through third countries every day begging to make a deal — but every deal they make, they either break or try to renegotiate. They are not ready yet. They will be.
We also cover Ted Cruz's prediction that Zoran Mamdani will become the next U.S. senator from New York — replacing Chuck Schumer, who Cruz believes can no longer win a Democratic primary in the state — and that Mamdani is the single most powerful Democrat in America right now. We connect it to AOC leading New Hampshire polling for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, and to DSA-backed candidates winning primaries across the country.
For our Bright Spot, a new Empire Center for Public Policy survey — conducted in New York, one of the most left-leaning states in the country — found that only 24% of respondents prioritize reducing greenhouse gas emissions over lower energy prices, 63% oppose mandatory home heating electrification, and 60% oppose letting individuals sue oil companies for climate change. The noisy minority demanding zero fossil fuels, electric heat mandates, and climate lawsuits does not represent most Americans — even in New York. That is common sense, and common sense is always a bright spot.
We also cover the Houthis attacking two Saudi oil tankers — Iran's last meaningful proxy after Hamas was decimated by Israel and Hezbollah was severely weakened — and make the strategic case that doing the hard thing now makes tomorrow easier. Letting Iran build nuclear weapons capable of reaching Europe would have made tomorrow catastrophically harder.
And we close with two-year-old Lucy Moline, who heard that her five-year-old sister Emma needed a bone marrow transplant after a rare disease stopped her bone marrow from producing red blood cells — and volunteered to be the donor because she wanted to be brave and help her sister. The transplant worked. Emma is cured. Is there anything better than sisters? May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 24, 2026.
We open with California's mail-in ballot system — and the 150,000 ballots rejected in the June primary as invalid. Out of 8.5 million ballots returned, nearly 94,000 arrived too late and another 50,000 failed signature verification. We connect it to the Los Angeles mayor's race, where Spencer Pratt held second place in ballots received before Election Day — and then mysteriously dropped to third as post-Election Day ballots arrived and a democratic socialist surged from third to first. We explain why California's system — which mails ballots to every registered voter, accepts them up to seven days after Election Day, and allows signature corrections after the fact — is designed for maximum permissiveness rather than maximum integrity. We also note that the pressure from Trump's DOJ is producing results: states are now publicly acknowledging ballot problems they would have quietly buried before.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump issued new tariffs on 60 countries — including Canada, Mexico, the UK, and EU members — based on a new legal justification targeting forced labor in supply chains, after the Supreme Court struck down his prior tariff authority earlier this year. Then four Somali immigrants in Minnesota pled guilty to defrauding Medicaid out of millions by using AI to fabricate patient notes for medical visits that never happened, billing the government for fictional services through a fake company called Brilliant Minds Services LLC. And the Democratic Party announced its 2028 primary schedule — placing South Carolina first because of its higher proportion of Black voters, a state Democrats haven't won in a presidential election since Jimmy Carter in 1976. We call it what it is: racial politics dressed up as party reform.
We also cover the man who disguised himself as a police officer and murdered Minnesota state Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband in a politically motivated attack — sentenced this week to life in prison. We say plainly: political violence cannot be given an inch, regardless of who commits it or who the targets are. What happens in Mexico — where candidates are killed and hung from bridges — cannot be allowed to happen here.
We dig deep into a congressional reform proposal with two straightforward components that somehow don't already exist. First, ban members of Congress from having sexual relationships with congressional staffers — including colleagues' staffers, not just their own. Second, require FBI background checks for all House employees within 30 days of starting work, plus a foreign influence disclosure form requiring staffers to reveal any contracts or payments from foreign governments within the past three years. We explain why both of these are urgent: active investigations currently implicate congressional staffers as potential agents of Qatar, China, and Cuba — multiple cases involving China and Cuba alone. Congressional staffers write the bills, negotiate in back rooms, and exercise enormous real power. We should know who they are and who is paying them.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson revisit the question of how to find couple friends — and arrive at the same beautiful, frustrating conclusion they always do. Couple friendship is seasonal, it's fragile, it's devastated by divorce, and it is almost impossible to manufacture. The best couple friends come through your children's sports, through shared seasons of life, and occasionally through the miraculous coincidence of your children marrying each other's best friends' children. Guys don't have friends — they have wives. And their wives have friends. And those friends have husbands. That's the whole system.
We also cover LeBron James signing with the Philadelphia 76ers — and President Trump's answer when asked in the Oval Office whether LeBron or Michael Jordan is the greatest of all time. Trump said he only likes people who like him, and therefore: Michael Jordan, all the way. We agree with the conclusion if not necessarily the methodology.
We also discuss John Fetterman's midterm strategy advice for Democrats — delivered in his signature style: don't be weird, don't be communist, don't be weirdo socialist, don't praise Mao, and don't do crazy stuff. We call it the most useful political advice any Democrat has given their party in years, and note that it will almost certainly be ignored.
Then it's Fake News Friday — including whether Mamdani admitted he lacks authority to invade Poland, whether the EU makes more fining U.S. tech companies than taxing its own, whether right-wing extremists in the UK were arrested for planning to disrupt Muslim events, whether a Minnesota woman was convicted of saying a slur to a Somali man accused of rape who was never prosecuted, whether Ben Franklin performed electroshock experiments on slaves, whether the Smithsonian put that in a museum exhibit, whether Trump announced a third-term run, whether a New York school district hired a robot teacher, and whether the Obama Presidential Library stiffed its plumber out of nearly $4 million. Sophie Cunningham's shoes sold out in under 24 hours. We couldn't get any for prizes.
For our Bright Spot, Paul Jackson was driving on I-5 near Seattle when he spotted an SUV drifting across three lanes with an unconscious driver and a terrified child in the back seat. He pulled alongside the out-of-control vehicle, wedged it against the concrete barrier, brought both cars to a stop, jumped out, put the SUV in park, and stayed with the woman and child until emergency services arrived. Quick thinking, steady hands, and the willingness to act. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 22, 2026.
We open with President Trump attending the dignified transfer of four fallen U.S. service members at Dover Air Force Base — and the political left's insistence on finding fault with it. We explain what a dignified transfer actually is: not a press conference, not a campaign event, not a photo opportunity. It is the most solemn responsibility a commander-in-chief carries — standing on behalf of 340 million Americans to receive sons and daughters who left home in uniform and came back draped in the flag. We also note a detail that made no headlines: President Trump gave the family of Lieutenant Tyler Feehan, who was from Georgia, a ride home on Air Force One. We contrast this with the man who checked his watch at an identical ceremony. And we put the 18 casualties in historical context — fewer than the invasion of Grenada, fewer than the invasion of Panama, against a military exponentially larger than either. We are not losing this conflict.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Trump-backed candidates swept Republican primaries in Arizona — with Andy Biggs winning the gubernatorial nomination to challenge Katie Hobbs, Mark Lamb winning the 5th Congressional District nomination, and retired NFL kicker Jay Feeley winning the 1st Congressional District nomination. More than 95% of Trump-endorsed candidates win their Republican primaries — a political endorsement success rate unprecedented in American history. Then the FBI captured fugitive Khalid Satari — a fraudster who had fled to Dubai after allegedly bilking Medicare out of $547 million through a scheme of kickbacks and bribes to doctors for unnecessary genetic testing across Georgia, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. He was arrested overseas and returned to the United States to face trial. We also want to know who the doctors are.
We also push back on MyPillow CEO and Minnesota Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Lindell's proposal to give illegal aliens amnesty through conditional work visas with no expiration date. We acknowledge Lindell is a patriot and his heart may be in the right place. We also note that we have seen this movie before. A work visa with no expiration date plus a family and a mortgage will produce, in exactly the timeline the left expects, a demand for citizenship and a voter registration form. The second chance we are willing to offer: $2,600 from the federal government to fly home and try the right way. That is the second chance. We are not offering a third.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson respond to a listener question about wheelchair abuse at airports — and Teri, as a former flight attendant, confirms it has always happened but is now out of control. The mechanism is simple: wheelchair assistance gets you to the front of the boarding line, but requires you to wait for everyone to deplane before you can exit. So the people who needed a wheelchair to board are miraculously able to walk off the plane on their own. Teri connects it to the broader problem of low-trust cultural values meeting high-trust American systems — and notes that systems built on good faith get abused when the good faith isn't there.
We sit down with Brett Ackleberry of Focus on the Family to discuss PluggedIn.com — a free media discernment tool that provides in-depth content reviews of movies, TV shows, video games, books, and YouTube channels from a Christian perspective. We discuss The Odyssey, The Passion of the Christ, and the difference between entertainment that earns its darkness and content that simply delivers it. Brett explains that PluggedIn is not there to tell anyone what to watch — it's there to give families the information they need to decide for themselves. It's free, it's thorough, and it's available right now at PluggedIn.com.
We cover the New Jersey non-citizen voter registration story — where the state called 6,000 improper registrations a software glitch and the software company said it was not their error — and connect it to the 24 states that still refuse to use the federal SAVE system, which is now free, to verify citizenship on their voter rolls. States with Democrat trifectas represent the vast majority of those refusing to use it. They also insist no illegal voting is occurring.
We predict a government shutdown in September — driven by Senate Republicans who won't pass spending bills the House has already sent over — and say plainly that the game is simple. Democrats stall, Democrats posture, and the country pays the price. Republicans in the Senate don't have to help them. John Thune needs to pick a side.
For our Bright Spot, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a consolidated ruling across multiple cases involving detained illegal aliens — finding that they do not have a constitutional due process right to bail that would allow them to remain in the country while fighting deportation proceedings. This year alone, judges had released more than 11,000 ICE detainees before removal could be completed. The Fifth Circuit just closed that door across Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas — and in doing so, removed the incentive for detained illegal aliens to fight and delay removal rather than accepting voluntary departure.
We also cover a Tennessee Republican candidate named Brian Stewart whose campaign presents him as a Marine veteran — with the Marine Corps itself reportedly saying his premature discharge was incongruent with Marine Corps standards. We say it plainly: you do not lie about your military service. It is not a resume bullet point. It is sacrifice, discipline, and danger. Some gave the full measure of devotion. If you are thinking about lying about that, stop.
And we close with Jenitar and Jortham Na'amuana — who already had four children when they discovered their fifth pregnancy was actually four babies. Natural identical quadruplets. No fertility therapy. Odds of one in fifteen million. All four delivered by C-section at 28 weeks, each weighing just over two pounds, all doing well and expected to go home soon. They are certainly doing their part. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 21, 2026.
We open with a 29-year-old Democratic Socialist named Milat Kiros who just defeated a 15-term congresswoman in Colorado's Democratic primary — with the backing of the DSA and Bernie Sanders — and who has told voters exactly what she believes: that America is exploitative and extractive, that ICE is a terror apparatus, that Israel's military aid should end, and that the existing world order needs a reckoning. We note that she arrived in America because her father won the U.S. diversity visa lottery — a program that saved her family from an Ethiopian civil war and famine — and that she earned degrees at Washington College and Notre Dame Law School on American soil. We are not speculating about her worldview. She has put it in writing. And she is one general election away from Congress in a district Republicans haven't won in half a century. We say what needs to be said: believe people when they tell you who they are.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the federal government suspended $867.5 million in Medicaid payments to California and $199 million to Minnesota after CMS reviews flagged high-risk fraud in home health and other services — with CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz saying the administration is done chasing stolen funds after they've already left the building. Then New Jersey's Democratic Governor Mikey Sherrill revealed that a software glitch allowed 6,000 non-citizens to register to vote in 2023 and 2024, with 400 of them actually casting ballots — a story the governor got ahead of before the DOJ could, and one that makes the case for the SAVE Act more powerfully than any speech. And 100 New York state lawmakers sent letters to the congressional delegation demanding ICE be abolished — the same ICE that exists because Congress decided in 2002 that someone should enforce federal immigration law.
We also cover the Trump administration's discovery that the federal government has been sending nearly $100 million per year to dead people — and has now stopped. The fix required asking one basic question: is the person we're sending this check to still alive? That question, apparently revolutionary in Washington, was answered by comparing 885 million federal payments against death records. Government doesn't have a revenue problem. It has a stewardship problem.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson debate whether they'd go back to old TV over smart TVs — and the answer is a resounding yes, for reasons that go beyond nostalgia. Streaming costs more than cable ever did, smart TVs are listening and tracking everything, you can no longer skip commercials, the content is ideologically slanted, and nobody can find anything. Teri misses Blockbuster. Kimberly misses the DVR. Both agree that horizontal screens make sense because human eyes are horizontal — and that vertical video on phones is a waste of the aspect ratio God gave us.
We dig deep into former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper's early release of 4,234 prisoners following an NAACP lawsuit arguing that incarceration is racist — a number that exceeded the 3,500 agreed to in the settlement and included 99 sex offenders and 24 people convicted of murder. Within five years, 2,412 of those released — a 57% recidivism rate — had committed new crimes and been rearrested, including charges of rape and murder. Among those released and later arrested for murder was the man accused of stabbing Ukrainian immigrant Iryana Zyrutska to death on a Charlotte train. Roy Cooper is now the frontrunner for the North Carolina Senate seat. We say plainly: we should stop rewarding failure. There are people dead in North Carolina today because their governor let violent criminals out of prison to kill again.
We also cover the State Department's follow-up report confirming that Cuba is actively helping Iran, Hamas, and other jihadist organizations expand their influence throughout the Western Hemisphere — connecting the dots between communist Cuba's survival dependence on American adversaries and the broader axis of pressure being applied to the United States from multiple directions simultaneously. No single threat defeats us. Together, they create friction, consume resources, divide attention, and complicate national security. All of it from 50 miles off the coast of Florida.
For our Bright Spot, Texas Representative Andy Hopper wrote a letter responding to a Mexican senator who demanded that Texas stop enforcing its border laws because migrants were dying trying to cross illegally. Hopper's response is worth reading in full — citing Texas independence, the Alamo, San Jacinto, and the sovereign right of every nation to determine who enters its territory. He also told Mexico directly: we will not accept border policy instruction from a government that has allowed cartels to dominate vast regions of its own territory. Abandoning enforcement would not save lives. It would guarantee the cartels more victims, more profits, and more power. We call it exactly what it is — a bright spot.
We also cover New York City's welfare rolls hitting 865,000 cash assistance recipients under Mayor Mamdani — up from a low of 336,000 under Mayor Bloomberg — and note that a democratic socialist does not view this as a crisis. He views it as an achievement. We view it as what happens when you promise free things and then wonder why more people ask for them.
We also discuss the case of a 29-year-old woman who died after a ChatGPT conversation that increasingly centered on themes of sacrifice, death, and resurrection — with the AI telling her she would need to die before becoming who she was meant to be. We make the distinction between a mentally healthy person who reads letting your old self die as a metaphor for personal growth, and someone already struggling with depression or delusion who reads it as instruction. AI is a language tool. It produces eloquent, resonant language. It does not know who is reading it.
And we close with Scottish runner Josh Kerr breaking the world mile record in London — running the mile in 3 minutes and 42 seconds to break Hicham El Guerrouj's record that had stood since 1999, the longest anyone had held the official world mile record since records began. In front of 60,000 fans, a man ran a mile in the time it takes most of us to find the remote. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 20, 2026.
We open with a 100-page State Department report titled Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism — and the findings go far beyond what most Americans have ever been told about Cuba's reach inside this country. For nearly 70 years, Cuba has been building a revolutionary infrastructure in the United States — funding and directing organizations from the Black Panthers and the Weather Underground to modern Antifa networks, Code Pink, the Democratic Socialists of America, and the National Lawyers Guild, which provided legal assistance to 20,000 people arrested during the 2020 George Floyd unrest. We connect the dots from Bill Ayers launching Barack Obama's political career from his living room to Chessa Boudin running San Francisco's DA office to LaToya Cantrell traveling to Cuba to study economics before being indicted on 16 counts of malfeasance. The pattern, once you see it, cannot be unseen.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, three U.S. service members were killed in the Middle East over the weekend — 19-year-old Private Isabella Gonzalez of Carrollton, Texas and 25-year-old First Lieutenant Tyler James Feehan of Ewa Beach, Hawaii died in an Iranian missile attack on their base in Jordan, and a third service member was killed during a controlled detonation of an unexploded Iranian drone in Iraq. A fourth remains missing. We honor them with Abraham Lincoln's words — the last full measure of devotion. Then a man was arrested for setting off an incendiary device outside the ICE offices in lower Manhattan — fireworks and gasoline, two minor injuries, a federal building housing ICE, immigration courts, and the FBI. And Maine Democrats selected Troy Jackson as their replacement Senate candidate for Graham Plattner — a man accused of mortgage fraud for lying about his primary residence to get a lower interest rate. Mortgage fraud, apparently, is the ceiling Maine Democrats are working with this cycle.
We also take on Mayor Mamdani's declaration that he intends to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he sets foot in New York City — based on an International Criminal Court warrant that the United States does not recognize. We explain why this is constitutionally illiterate, diplomatically catastrophic, and practically impossible. The Constitution gives Washington, not City Hall, the authority to conduct foreign affairs. The UN sits in New York City precisely because heads of state must be able to travel there safely. If one mayor can arrest one head of state, no head of state will ever return — and the UN becomes a ghost town. Mamdani's job is to serve the people of New York City. Destroying the diplomatic credibility of the most important city in the world is not that.
Our American Mama Teri Netterville makes the case that small talk is a lost art — and a more important one than most people realize. It's not filler. It's the appetizer to the main course. Terry talks about watching her shy daughter Summer learn to work a room by watching her mother walk across it toward the person standing alone. She credits her father, who could run any room because he made whoever was speaking to him feel like they were the only person there. She points to Princess Catherine and Bill Clinton as two of the best practitioners alive — and makes the case that if parents don't put the phones down and model this for their children, an entire generation will grow up incapable of the human connection that holds communities together.
We also cover the media's outrage over President Trump presenting the World Cup trophy to Spain — headlines declaring he refused to leave the stage, sparked outrage, and embarrassed the country. We note that presenting the trophy was part of the plan agreed upon months in advance with FIFA president Gianni Infantino. We also note that if Joe Biden had done the same thing, the coverage would have called it proof of his vitality and connection to the world stage.
In our Digging Deep segment, a new Echelon Insights poll reveals something stunning about young Democrats — they have a net negative view of capitalism of minus 31%, a net positive view of socialism of plus 35%, and a net positive view of free markets of plus 22%. All three of those positions cannot be simultaneously true. Free markets are capitalism. Socialism is the opposite of free markets. The same poll shows young Democrats under 50 support the Democratic Socialists of America with a net favorability of 54% while Democrats over 50 give the DSA only 28%. The Make America Healthy Again movement is the only political movement in the country with a net approval rating above 50% — and it's below 50% among Democrats. Apparently, Democrats don't want anything associated with Trump — including healthy food.
We also push back on Republican strategists panicking about Iran hurting the party in the midterms. The American people are not bloodthirsty and they don't want endless wars. But there is a world of difference between opposing endless wars and surrendering to a regime that has chanted death to America every day for fifty years and was on the verge of obtaining a nuclear weapon. President Trump has made a reasonable case for a defined military objective. He could make it better. But rolling over is not an electoral strategy either.
For our Bright Spot, the Israel Antiquities Authority and Tel Aviv University announced the discovery of massive wooden beams from Lebanon — burned and preserved since 586 BCE — that appear to be structural elements from the First Temple of Jerusalem, exactly as described in the Bible. The beams show an unusually high number of growth rings, confirming they came from the large, old trees of Lebanon that scripture specifically identifies as the building material. The Bible said it. The archaeologists found it. Another bright spot hidden in the dirt.

We open with the Trump administration's straightforward approach to election security funding — if your state wants federal Homeland Security dollars, it must demonstrate it is taking basic, credible steps to protect its elections. The requirement: devote 3% of the grant toward election security. That's it. We explain why this is not extreme, not unprecedented, and not controversial to anyone acting in good faith — highway funding comes with rules, education funding comes with requirements, and the foundation of our entire system of self-government deserves at least the same standard of accountability as a road project. We also walk through every argument the left makes against voter integrity measures and explain why each one is a red herring designed to obscure the only real reason to oppose them.
We dig deep into President Trump's primetime address on election security — laying out the five points he made and the documents he says back them up. China hacked voter rolls and now possesses the name, address, Social Security number, and driver's license of roughly 220 million registered American voters. China ran an influence campaign in 2020 to prevent Trump's reelection and may have attempted to create fraudulent ballots. That intelligence was intentionally concealed from Trump by U.S. intelligence agencies between 2018 and 2020. Evidence of fraud in Michigan was covered up and not robustly investigated by the Biden FBI. And more than 250,000 non-citizens are registered to vote in the United States, documented in four cooperating states alone. We note what the speech did not do — it did not claim the 2020 election was stolen or produce proof of widespread cheating. It presented declassified evidence of vulnerabilities, foreign interference, and institutional failures, and put pressure on the Senate to pass the SAVE Act. The people calling it election denialism didn't listen to it.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, a federal appeals court ruled that the Pentagon can require reporters to be escorted through the building and register before gaining access — overturning a lower court ruling that had sided with the New York Times, and finding that the policy was applied evenly to all media. Then Maine Democrats held a debate to replace Graham Plattner — featuring eight candidates, the first four of whom all lost their primary races this year, and a final candidate whose listed qualifications were that he writes songs and books. And Britain has a new prime minister — Andy Burnham, former mayor of Greater Manchester, replacing Keir Starmer whose Labour Party's popularity has collapsed under the weight of rising crime, mass immigration, and a government crackdown on free speech. Burnham will be the seventh prime minister since 2016. We are not optimistic about his relationship with President Trump.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson take on the question of whether America has canceled grandma — and the answer is complicated. There's a legitimate version of the concern, where grandparents try to override parenting decisions while the parents are present, and a much more troubling version, where adult children cut off grandparents entirely for political or ideological reasons. Teri and Kimberly draw the distinction between a grandparent who steps in to discipline when a parent is right there versus a grandparent who is being pushed out because they're Trump supporters who like guns. One is a boundary conversation. The other is a tragedy. The Constitution's preamble says we are building this country for ourselves and our posterity — and cutting grandparents out of children's lives cuts the very thread of generational wisdom our republic depends on.
We also cover what James Carville got right this week — that CNN should have aired President Trump's primetime address, even if they disagree with everything he says. Sunlight is the greatest disinfectant. Free speech works precisely because it trusts the American people to evaluate what they hear. The network that aired statements from the Chinese Communist Party without a fact-check decided it needed to fact-check the sitting president of the United States in real time. None of it holds together.
We also take on the WNBA's treatment of Caitlin Clark — the greatest female basketball player in the history of the sport, who is being harassed by fellow players, subjected to demands that she denounce her own fans, and choked on the floor with no technical foul called. We offer the only explanation that fits all the evidence: it is racism, and it is the only category of racism the left refuses to acknowledge.
Then it's Fake News Friday — including whether Trump wants to purge legitimate voters, whether a CNN poll found 125% of Americans disbelieve the election interference claims, whether Speaker Johnson has 1,500 unread texts, whether you can buy a piece of the MetLife Stadium World Cup field for $450, whether Mamdani watched the World Cup with Rikers Island inmates, whether Sacramento sanitation workers are photographing your trash, whether a man robbed a bank using a stolen kitten, and whether Pete Hegseth ordered soldiers with low testosterone transferred to the Navy. One of those is really fake news.
For our Bright Spot, Senator Marsha Blackburn is reintroducing the Ban Birth Tourism Act — in direct response to the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship ruling — making the case that you should not be able to create a permanent legal anchor to the United States simply by giving birth on American soil without any commitment to this country whatsoever.
And we close with 92-year-old Martin Gill of Wilmington, North Carolina — who retired from the oil fields, got bored, worked as a greeter at Sam's Club until that position was eliminated, and has now been the host at his local Chick-fil-A for six years. He says if you enjoy what you're doing, it's not work. He doesn't know what 92 is supposed to feel like — but he feels great. It's his pleasure. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 16, 2026.
We open with a story that should trigger Logan Act investigations — Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch has revealed that New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani attempted to arrange a secret meeting with the Iranian government while the United States is actively engaged in military operations against Iran. We walk through the constitutional principle at stake: the United States speaks with one voice in foreign affairs, that voice belongs to the federal government, and a city mayor has no more authority to conduct foreign policy than he has to declare war. We also connect it to a pattern — from Obama's hot mic moment with Medvedev to John Kerry's shadow diplomacy during Trump's first term — of people who want the power of the presidency without the accountability of holding it.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the U.S. launched strikes against Iran for the sixth consecutive day — targeting air defenses, rocket and drone facilities, and ports, with reports of 35 killed and 300 wounded in Iran, and a blockade-running ship disabled after repeated warnings. Then President Trump fired a newly appointed federal prosecutor in Seattle less than an hour into his first day on the job — a position filled by federal judges after Democrat Senate obstruction left the slot unconfirmed for more than 120 days. And a former Marine and congressional candidate in Florida was arrested for posting videos to social media calling for the murder of President Trump, describing him as the Antichrist, and advising what weapons and shooting patterns should be used — the latest of more than 20 documented assassination plots against the president, by far the most in American history.
We also cover the Trump administration restoring the public charge rule — requiring that applicants for lawful permanent residence demonstrate they can support themselves without depending on government assistance. We explain why this was standard immigration practice throughout most of American history, why it is the policy of virtually every developed nation on earth, and why the most compassionate thing you can say to someone who wants to become an American is that we believe you can make it here on your own.
Our American Mama Teri Netterville responds to a podcast host who said she doesn't trust any mother who wants to be with her children all day — and that homeschooling is weird. Teri's answer is simple and devastating: children are not a burden. They are a reward from God, an inheritance, arrows that parents are called to form and launch into the world for impact. The proof showed up at a stoplight on the way to the studio — Psalm 127, in a bumper sticker, on a car Teri had never seen before, minutes before a segment she didn't know she'd be having. She calls it a God thing. We do too.
We dig deep into Senator Elissa Slotkin's remarks at a Michigan town hall — where she explained her opposition to the SAVE Act by saying it would make it impossible for any Democrat to win any election anywhere. We play the clip. We let her words sit. And we point out that if requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is what makes Democrats lose elections, Senator Slotkin has just told you everything you need to know about who has been voting in Democratic primaries. The SAVE Act doesn't prevent anyone who is legally entitled to vote from voting. It just makes sure people who aren't legally entitled to vote don't get to cancel out the votes of those who are.
We also cover Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego and reports that he had relationships with multiple congressional staffers before his marriage — and use it to return to the core principle that power causes brain damage. The part of the brain that processes empathy is measurably suppressed in people who accumulate power and believe they deserve it. The only people largely immune to this effect are those who genuinely believe they don't deserve the power they have. Public office is a public trust — and the people underneath you in that office are not perks of the position.
We also cover a White House teleprompter technician who allegedly fed Trump's speech content into prediction markets before the speeches were delivered — trading on insider access to profit from words she was trusted to keep confidential. Every position of trust comes with an obligation of restraint. Some people just haven't figured that out yet.
For our Bright Spot, the New York Times ran a piece headlined Mom, Dad, I Want to Be a Welder — following young Americans in their twenties who had the grades for college, chose trade school instead, and are thriving. Trade school enrollment is up nearly 20% since 2020. Starting salaries for skilled tradespeople now beat many college-educated entry-level positions. And a 23-year-old welder from Arkansas named LaDonna Glass said it best — she felt like if she didn't go to college she would be a failure. She isn't. We close with Earl Nightingale's definition of success — the progressive realization of a worthy goal — and note that success begins the moment you commit to something worthy of your time, your talents, and your character.
And we close with a 2007 photograph taken at a Barcelona charity raffle — a baby boy named Lamin Yamal posing with a young Argentine footballer named Lionel Messi. Eighteen years later, Lamin Yamal is on the Spanish World Cup team and Messi is considered the greatest of all time — and the two people in that photo are about to face each other in the World Cup final. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 15, 2026.
We open with the biggest election integrity news in years — the House passed the SAVE Act as part of the National Defense Authorization Act, 217 to 209, with Speaker Mike Johnson delivering exactly what he promised us two weeks ago when he sat down with American Ground Radio. We explain what the SAVE Act actually does — and what it doesn't. It doesn't change who is eligible to vote. It doesn't alter the Constitution. It simply requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. We point out that we verify identity to board a plane, open a bank account, and buy a beer — and that the only people who benefit from not verifying citizenship at voter registration are people who aren't citizens. We also note that Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin's claim that no Democrat will ever win again if the SAVE Act passes raises an obvious question about how many non-citizens have been voting for her party. The bill now goes to the Senate, where John Thune needs to do his job — or be voted out at the first opportunity.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch testified before the Senate in his confirmation hearing — telling senators that his client is not the president but the American people, while more than 1,200 former DOJ employees signed a letter opposing his confirmation, which may be the best endorsement he could have received. Then the House passed a bill to make daylight saving time permanent year-round — meaning darker mornings in winter and lighter evenings, with states currently on permanent standard time allowed to stay there. And Senate Democrats boycotted a hearing on government fraud, with only one Democrat showing up before leaving after his opening statement — even as investigative journalists Nick Shirley, James O'Keefe, and Dylan Heder-Gaudette presented documented findings on billions in fraudulent benefits claims. As Nick Shirley said, no dollar says Republican or Democrat on it.
We also tackle the question of whether a New Hampshire state representative can drive 102 miles per hour on her way to the legislature and claim constitutional immunity from arrest under a provision dating back to the era of kings arresting parliamentarians on their way to inconvenient votes. We acknowledge the historical purpose of the law. We reject the application of it to someone who simply didn't plan her schedule well enough. Rules for thee but not for me is not a constitutional principle — and if you don't care about the safety of the people on the road, why would you care about the safety of the people you represent?
Our American Mama Teri Netterville weighs in on the Emmy nominations — and the conversation becomes a broader indictment of an awards system that has completely lost touch with what Americans are actually watching. Greg Gutfeld hosts the number one late night show in the country. Not nominated. Taylor Sheridan has produced Yellowstone, Landman, 1923, and The Madison — all massive hits with critics and audiences alike. Not nominated. Meghan Markle's show As Ever received a 38% on Rotten Tomatoes, was called the sweet spot between irrelevant and intolerable by the Times of London, and was canceled. Emmy nominated. The awards don't reflect excellence anymore. They reflect ideology.
In our Digging Deep segment, U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll announced that the Army has already met its 2026 recruiting goals — with 61,500 new recruits — eight and a half months before the year ends. Compare that to 2022, when the military missed its goals by 25%, and 2023, when it missed by 10%. Nothing changed except the administration and with it the clarity of purpose. We play Simon Sinek's story about a Marine recruiter who told a high school auditorium full of teenagers that not a single one of them was good enough to be a Marine — and walked out with the longest line of any recruiter in the room. People don't want to be told service is easy. They want to be challenged to be worthy of it. Trump and Hegseth figured that out. The numbers prove it.
We also cover France's assisted suicide legislation — which has passed the lower house and would allow physicians and nurses to end the lives of patients who cannot do so themselves. The Catholic Church in France has threatened excommunication for any legislator who votes for it, and Pope Francis personally asked Macron not to sign it. We make the pro-life case plainly — compassion means walking with those who suffer, not eliminating the one who is suffering. A society's worth is measured by how it treats its most vulnerable, not by how conveniently it removes them.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps has now threatened to shut down all Middle Eastern oil exports if Iran cannot export its own — using energy as a weapon exactly as both Iran and Iraq did during the 1980s war. We note that this is exactly why the Iraq oil pipeline deal through Turkey matters, why the Strait of Hormuz matters, and why at some point the president may have to say what needs to be said about ground troops.
For our Bright Spot, a Spanish conservation group called El Burrito Feliz — the Happy Little Donkey — has deployed 18 donkeys around Doñana National Park on Spain's Atlantic coast, an area with the same fire-prone Mediterranean climate as Southern California. Since the donkeys were introduced, there has not been a single wildfire in the park in nine years. The donkeys eat the dry scrub and tall grasses that fuel fires, reach terrain that vehicles cannot, and cost a fraction of what California spends on fire suppression after the fact. We suggest California try it. What have they got to lose?
And we close with Jenny Stepien, who walked down the aisle on her wedding day wishing her father could be there. Her father Michael had passed away ten years earlier — but he was an organ donor, and his heart had saved the life of a man named Tom Thomas, who became Jenny's pen pal out of gratitude. On her wedding day, Tom was there in person for the first time — to walk her down the aisle in her father's place. At the end of the aisle, Jenny placed her hand on Tom's chest and felt her father's heart beating one more time, just before she said I do. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 14, 2026.
We open with the Democratic Socialists of America's national co-chair going on record calling for the abolition of the United States Senate — and we explain why this isn't a fringe idea anymore. The DSA wants to replace the Senate, the presidency, and the Supreme Court with a single legislative body allocated purely by population, rename it the People's Bureau, and hand it public ownership of the nation's largest corporations. We walk through what that actually means — that seven or eight major cities could effectively govern the entire country, that the constitutional protections for smaller states would vanish, and that the structure they're proposing is the same one that produced the Third Reich, the Soviet Union, and Communist China. We also note that 51% of the DSA's National Policy Committee openly identifies with communism, Marxism, or Marxist-Leninism — not according to conservative critics, but according to a report cited by the former Democratic chief counsel for the House Judiciary Committee. The Democratic Party needs to decide whether it is going to continue letting these people run under its banner.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump formally notified Congress that hostilities with Iran have resumed — opening a new 60-day window under the War Powers Act after Iran repeatedly violated the ceasefire and continued attacking civilian shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Then inflation dropped from 4.2% to 3.5% last month — the largest single-month decrease in four years — driven largely by falling gas prices during the ceasefire, with core inflation down to 2.6%. And Justices Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett testified jointly before Congress requesting increased security funding — with Barrett revealing that six weeks ago her teenage son opened the front door to find their street filled with police cars responding to a swatting attack on their home.
We also weigh in on President Trump's signature appearing on the new $100 bill as part of America's 250th anniversary commemoration — and we have a genuine disagreement about it. It's a milestone that comes once in a nation's history and deserves recognition. But putting a sitting president's name on currency in circulation is outside American tradition, starts to look like the kind of thing emperors and monarchs do, and gives his critics an easy target that's hard to defend.
Our American Mama Teri Netterville makes the case that moms are still better matchmakers than any dating app ever invented — and backs it up with evidence. Three couples she personally set up are now married, including her own daughter Summer and Louisiana Tech baseball captain Phillip Matulia, whom Teri identified as the right match before her daughter was even willing to consider it. She also shares the story of Andrea Swift — Taylor's mother — who heard that Travis Kelce loves his mother, said ding ding ding, and the rest is history. Terry's conclusion: we know our children. Apps know your data. There's a difference.
In our Digging Deep segment, a Fort Worth police officer threatened street preachers Richard Pankoski and David Grisham with disorderly conduct citations at a Pride parade — telling them directly that if someone is offended by their talking, that constitutes a problem warranting a citation. We explain why this is not a close constitutional question. The First Amendment does not exist to protect popular speech. It exists precisely to protect the kind of speech that offends people. The Fort Worth police chief acknowledged the officers were wrong — but we push back on his framing. They weren't wrong in the manner they addressed it. They were wrong to address it at all. Religious speech enjoys the same constitutional protection as secular speech. If marchers get to publicly celebrate what scripture calls sin, preachers get to publicly call it sin.
We then turn to Zoran Mamdani's New York City — where Manhattan's average one-bedroom rent has hit an all-time high of nearly $5,500 a month and Brooklyn is setting its own records, with critics calling the housing situation DEFCON 1. We connect it directly to Mamdani's rent freeze threats, which gave every landlord in the city a powerful incentive to raise rents before the freeze could take effect, and to congestion pricing, which is now making it financially attractive to live inside Manhattan rather than commute — driving up rents from the demand side. The left created this crisis with its own policies and is now running on those same policies as the solution.
For our Bright Spot, President Trump and Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi announced that U.S. troops will be out of Iraq by September 30th — ending a 23-year military presence that peaked at 170,000 troops and is now down to roughly 2,000. We also cover Iraq signing new oil deals with Chevron and other American companies to build pipelines running from Iraq through Turkey to Europe — bypassing the Strait of Hormuz entirely — which would permanently reduce Iranian leverage over global energy markets.
And we close with 28-year-old Rishi Sharma, who at 18 became curious about World War II, interviewed one veteran, then another, then another, until curiosity became an obsession — and he has now spent every single day of the last ten years interviewing veterans of the Greatest Generation, preserving 3,000 firsthand accounts of American history on hard drives and SD cards before those voices are gone forever. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 13, 2026.
We open with a story New York City's leadership refuses to learn from — a new report showing the city's share of America's million-dollar earners collapsed from 12.7% in 2010 to 8.7% in 2022, dropping New York from second to fourth in the national rankings as California, Florida, and Texas all dramatically grew their millionaire populations. We explain the core economic truth the left keeps getting wrong — affordability and willingness are two entirely different questions. Wealthy residents can afford to pay more. They are simply not willing to. And unlike ordinary citizens, they have the means to act on that decision immediately. When New York voters hired Zoran Mamdani to demand even more from the people already leaving, they didn't change the math. They accelerated it.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Senator Lindsey Graham passed away suddenly over the weekend from an aortic dissection — a tear in the aorta that is often fatal before help can arrive. President Trump ordered flags lowered to half-staff and posted a tribute calling Graham a dear friend and a truly great man. Then South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster named Graham's sister, Darlene Graham Nord, to fill the remainder of his Senate term — with a special Republican primary scheduled for August 11th to select the party's nominee for the fall race. And the U.S. and Iran exchanged another round of fire over the weekend, with Iran firing missiles and drones at U.S. bases across the Middle East and the U.S. responding with strikes on Iranian military installations — including the first-ever use of unmanned naval drones against an Iranian port used to repair submarines.
Our American Mama Teri Netterville reflects on the life of Lindsey Graham — and what she didn't know about him until he was gone. That his mother died at 53, his father sixteen months later, and that a 22-year-old Lindsey Graham adopted his 13-year-old sister so she could receive military benefits. That the same man who was Trump's fiercest critic in the first term became one of his closest allies and friends. That Democrats who disagreed with him on nearly everything counted him as a genuine friend. And that his finest hour may have been the Kavanaugh hearings — when Graham stood up among colleagues he called friends and said plainly what millions of Americans were thinking: what you are doing to this man is wrong.
We also cover an 84-year-old Florida man suing Waffle House because a sign advertising their strawberry shortcake waffle caught his attention while he was walking and he tripped over a curb. We wish him a full recovery. We also note that attracting attention is the entire point of advertising, that curbs have been stationary obstacles since the invention of sidewalks, and that if noticing something relieves you of the obligation to watch where you're going, America is going to need an attorney on every corner. Some of them will have billboards.
In our Digging Deep segment, CNBC released its annual ranking of the worst states to live in — and all ten are red states, every single one of which gained population from other states in 2024. Texas led the country with 72,000 net new residents. Tennessee gained 36,000. Oklahoma gained 34,000. Meanwhile, CNBC's ten best states include Vermont, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts — half of which are losing population to other states, with New Jersey alone shedding 64,000 residents in 2024. We examine CNBC's methodology — which rewards states for high minimum wages, mandatory union participation, gender ideology in law, abortion access, and no voter ID requirements — and conclude that CNBC has produced not a quality of life ranking but a Democratic National Committee platform checklist. The American people are voting with their feet, and the scoreboard is not close.
We also cover ICE's latest weekend sweep — dozens of arrests including individuals convicted of murder, manslaughter, child sexual abuse, and drug trafficking — and ask the only question that matters: how is any reasonable person opposed to removing violent criminal offenders from the country? The answer, we conclude, is that the people most loudly opposed are not being reasonable. They are making an emotional leap to an accusation nobody actually made.
For our Bright Spot, a new study projects that a one-gigawatt data center campus in northwest Indiana would generate $16.1 billion in regional economic output over 20 years, support nearly 15,000 construction jobs, and create $176 million in annual earnings once operational. We connect it to the Meta data center being built in northeast Louisiana — not yet complete, but already doubling teacher salaries in the surrounding community purely from tax revenue. Data centers are the railroads of the 21st century. If your community gets one, you are in tall cotton.
President Trump is also planning a direct address to the American people on Thursday night about Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, and the safety of global shipping — because in an era of constant rumor and social media speculation, there is no substitute for the president going directly to the people and telling them what's what.
And we close with four-year-old Roman Butzlaff, who really wanted a friend. His family had split up, his grandparents were far away, and his new neighborhood didn't have many kids. So every morning he went outside, sat in a chair in the front yard, and waved at everyone who walked by. One neighbor crossed the street to introduce himself. Then another came. Then another. Before long, Roman had turned a street full of strangers into a community — and they came to his birthday parties, his soccer games, and his preschool open house. People like connecting. At a human level, not just behind a screen. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 10, 2026.
We open with a Senate map conversation nobody on the left wants to have — Democrats need to win every single toss-up race in November to take control of the chamber, while Republicans need only one. We walk through the Cook Political Report and Sabato's Crystal Ball projections, the four toss-up races that will decide everything — Alaska, Maine, Michigan, Ohio, and North Carolina — and why Republican overconfidence is still premature even with the structural advantage. We also explain why Graham Plattner's implosion in Maine may not be the gift Republicans assumed it was, why Roy Cooper is very likely to pick up North Carolina, and why Ken Paxton is making a race in Texas far closer than it has any business being.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump refused to sign the bipartisan housing bill — saying he won't put pen to paper until Congress passes the SAVE Act — but the bill will become law without his signature anyway, and House Republicans plan to celebrate its passage regardless. Then Trump fired the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission, citing the Seila Law decision as precedent and issuing a statement that the president reserves the right to remove individuals not fully aligned with the task of securing America's elections. And eight men from across the country — Ohio, Nebraska, Missouri, Washington, California, and West Virginia — have been indicted for plotting a drone and sniper attack on the UFC fight at the White House lawn, with all eight now arrested and facing life in prison.
We also cover Joy Behar warning that President Trump is practically destroying democracy — and we note that the one place in America where a democratic election result was genuinely made null and void was the 2024 Democratic presidential primary, where Kamala Harris never won a single vote outside the convention floor. The Democrat Party is the party of projection. Whatever they accuse you of doing, they have already done.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson answer a listener question about Type 1 and Type 2 fun — and the conversation becomes a beautiful tribute to feral childhood. Type 1 fun is a roller coaster — thrilling in the moment, forgotten by morning. Type 2 fun is hiking in sleet, throwing rocks at alligators on the bayou, going off into the woods alone for hours while your parents had absolutely no idea where you were. The kind of fun that shapes you, scares you, and becomes the story you're still telling at 50. Teri and Kimberly worry that today's children — tracked by phones, sheltered from consequence, raised on Dateline — are growing up on Type 1 fun and missing the Type 2 experiences that built the people they became.
We dig deep into California's 2022 decision to decriminalize loitering with intent to commit prostitution — signed by Governor Newsom on the grounds that 56% of those arrested were Black women, making it, in his telling, a racist law. The results, documented by City Journal and investigative journalist Abigail Schreier, are exactly what common sense predicted. Prostitution spiked immediately. Human trafficking followed. LAPD officers at the 77th Street Station rescued 123 children in 2024 — nearly eight times the number rescued in 2022, the year before the law took effect. Police now report seeing 14-year-old girls in G-strings on Los Angeles streets and having no legal authority to intervene. We make the case plainly: the left is not trying to reduce crime. It is trying to reduce the number of people arrested for crime. Those are not the same thing — and the difference is being paid for by the most vulnerable people on the streets.
We also revisit a 1950 speech by Joseph McCarthy — and note that whatever his excesses, his core distinction holds up: there have always been two kinds of Democrats, the millions of loyal Americans who vote the ticket and want safe neighborhoods and stable jobs, and a small activist class that has been dragging the party toward something that looks less like democratic socialism and more like the thing McCarthy was warning about. The question in 2026 is whether that activist class is still the minority.
Then it's Fake News Friday — including a California HOA fining residents for flying the American flag, activists pushing schools to teach Black English and girl math, Adam Sandler officiating Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding, a BB gun attack on a mosque that turned out to be carried out by a Muslim man, Iran threatening to kill President Trump at Khomeini's funeral, a new Broadway musical called Dolly about Dolly Parton, and CNN airing a quote from a fake congressman who runs a parody account. Justin Trudeau is now a backup dancer in a Katy Perry video. Spoilet Alert: that one's real.
For our Bright Spot, weekly unemployment claims came in at 215,000 — with the January through July average of 213,000 representing the lowest sustained jobless claim numbers since 1968 and 1969, when the country had a third fewer people and the Vietnam draft was pulling hundreds of thousands of men out of the civilian workforce. We call it what it is — a labor market that is outperforming history in a country that was told it couldn't.
And we close with words of wisdom on patriotism — from Calvin Coolidge, Edward Abbey, Adlai Stevenson, and Charles de Gaulle. You've got to love your country enough to tell the truth about it, defend it when it's right, and fight to make it better. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 9, 2026.
We open with Mayor Zoran Mamdani's map of immigrant neighborhoods in New York City — and a glaring omission that Louis takes personally. Little Italy isn't on it. Neither are the Irish neighborhoods or the Jewish neighborhoods. What is on it? Little Palestine, Little Pakistan, Little Odessa, and 27 other enclaves — a deliberate cartography of division that tells certain communities where they belong and erases the immigrant story that built New York in the first place. We make the distinction between a melting pot — where you bring your culture and become American — and a mixing bowl, where a city planner plants a flag and tells you to stay in your lane. Put Little Italy on the map. Put the whole beautiful, messy, glorious immigration story on the map. That is New York. That is America.
In our Top 3 Things You need to Know, fresh explosions hit southern Iran — but CENTCOM says the U.S. was not behind them, and Israel said the same, as Iranians buried their former Ayatollah Khomeini for the first time since his death in March, having been too afraid to hold the funeral until now. Then Graham Plattner dropped out of the Maine Senate race after a fourth woman came forward with sexual assault allegations — with the Maine Democratic Party now scrambling to name a replacement by June 27th, having defended Plattner right up until the moment the polls shifted against him. The Democrats didn't discover morality. They discovered math. And an illegal alien from Slovakia was arrested in New Jersey for registering to vote and casting a ballot in the 2022 elections — proof once again that the thing that never happens keeps happening, and that the Save America Act cannot wait.
We also cover Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum threatening legal action against the United States after ICE officers shot a Mexican national who allegedly used his vehicle as a weapon against federal agents in Houston. We have a suggestion for President Sheinbaum — if she is genuinely concerned about how Mexican citizens are being treated during U.S. immigration enforcement operations, she could simply tell them to go home.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson answer the listener question of why it's so hard to find couple friends — and the answer turns out to be equal parts logistics, life seasons, and the quiet devastation of watching a couple you love fall apart. Teri and Kimberly talk about the friends they found through their children's sports, the couples who drifted away when the games ended, the dream scenario of children who marry each other's best friends' children, and the husband-centric theory of male friendship — guys don't have friends, they have wives, and their wives have friends, and those friends have husbands.
We enter week four of the Mitch McConnell hospital saga — still no quotes, still no specifics, still no clarity on why he's there or what his condition actually is. We contrast this with John Fetterman, who disclosed his stroke within 48 hours of it happening and his clinical depression diagnosis the day after checking himself into Walter Reed — even though depression was far more politically embarrassing than a stroke. The public doesn't need every medical detail. It needs to know which box to put its senator in. Four weeks in, we still don't know.
In our Digging Deep segment, a Real Clear Investigations report compares U.S. crime rates to Canada and Australia using victimization surveys rather than police reports — and the results demolish the international media's narrative. Overall violent crime in Canada is 295% higher than in the U.S. In Australia, assaults are 227% higher and rape is 355% higher. The reason U.S. crime statistics look worse is that Americans are far more likely to call the police when they become victims. We make the case that the anti-American crime narrative isn't about journalism — it's about political control. If Canadians and Australians found out they would be safer with guns, their governments would have a much harder time keeping them disarmed.
We also note that the conspiracy theories surrounding Charlie Kirk's assassination appear to be collapsing under the weight of Tyler Robinson's own confessions — three separate admissions that he planned and carried out the murder deliberately over a period of weeks. We say what needs to be said about the people who spent the last ten months spinning elaborate alternative theories: if you ever thought Candace Owens was onto something, you need a new way to filter your news sources.
For our Bright Spot, John Fetterman's transparency about his own medical crises — stroke disclosed in 48 hours, depression disclosed the day after hospitalization — stands as a model of what elected officials owe the people they serve. We don't have to agree with his politics to recognize that walking in integrity looks exactly like that.
And we close with words of wisdom on honesty — from Thomas Jefferson, William Shakespeare, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Benjamin Franklin, and Billy Joel. Honesty is such a lonely word. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 7, 2026.
We open with a story out of Germany that hits uncomfortably close to home — the German defense minister is publicly discussing whether a conservative party that finishes first in national polling should be denied access to classified information if it wins power. We explain why this isn't just a European problem: it's exactly what James Clapper attempted with Donald Trump in 2016, what the FBI did to the Tea Party under Obama, and what the DOJ did to pro-life Catholics under Biden. When a government starts treating political opponents as security threats, the next steps — denied clearances, restricted briefings, platform pressure, donor investigations — become easier every time. Germany is showing us where that road ends. We'd prefer not to follow.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump declared the ceasefire over after Iran attacked three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz — launching a second night of U.S. strikes on Iranian air defenses, fast boats, and missile launchers, and saying of negotiations, they're liars, they're cheats, they're sick people. Then Kentucky's Democratic Governor Andy Beshear formally demanded transparency from Senator Mitch McConnell's office about his medical condition — noting that while several Republican colleagues claim to have spoken with him at length, not one of them has quoted a single word he actually said. And a 51-year-old Australian citizen living in Franklinton, Louisiana was arrested and charged by the DOJ for registering to vote by falsely claiming American citizenship and casting ballots in both 2022 and 2024 — which is exactly why the Save America Act exists and exactly why the Senate needs to pass it.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson get into the financial realities facing young families today — the near impossibility of one parent staying home, the role grandparents and extended family play in filling the gap, and why the bonds forged through that kind of mutual help are often the strongest ones families have. Teri shares how she told her daughter-in-law directly that private school for the grandchildren is something she and her husband are prepared to help with — because that's what family does when it can.
We dig into the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship ruling — and the Texas hospital advertising birth packages in Mexico for $4,000 natural or $5,500 for a C-section, with the implied promise that the baby goes home as an American citizen. Governor Greg Abbott has ordered an immediate investigation of Mission Regional Medical Center. We also cover Chinese birth tourism to American Samoa — where more Chinese babies are now born than American babies — with those children raised under the Communist Party before returning to the United States as adult citizens with full legal access. We make the case that the 14th Amendment's original meaning of subject to the jurisdiction thereof meant complete political allegiance — not one foot on American soil — and that Congress must act before birth tourism becomes the dominant business model along our southern border.
We then cover Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Plattner — who still hasn't dropped out as of broadcast but faces a Monday deadline — and the stunning reversal from a Democratic Party that was fully behind him while he was ahead in the polls and is now trying to deny him any role in choosing his replacement. We note that the only Democrat who called Plattner out while he was still leading was John Fetterman — who this week demanded that every Democrat who championed Plattner publicly apologize to the voters of Maine. A party willing to undo its own nomination process when the polls turn is a party that has made clear the democratic process is a means to an end, not a principle.
For our Bright Spot, firearms manufacturer CMMG has announced it will only sell to state and local government agencies the same configurations it is allowed to sell to that state's citizens. If a state bans AR-15 style rifles for civilians, CMMG will not sell AR-15 style rifles to that state's law enforcement. Their statement says it plainly — we do not have two classes of citizenry in this country. We are all subject to the Constitution. A government that doesn't trust its citizens cannot be trusted by its citizens. We call it exactly what it is — a principled stand worth celebrating and worth other manufacturers following.
And we close with Jordan Rosenberg, who married Max Creamer this summer after knowing him for about ten years. At the wedding reception, Jordan's parents played a home video of four-year-old Jordan describing her future wedding — naming the friends who would be there, all of whom were present as adults. And when asked who her husband would be, four-year-old Jordan said the name Max. She spoke it into existence. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 7, 2026.
We open with a story that's more than just an economic migration — it's a cultural sorting happening across America in real time. Conservatives are leaving blue states for red states chasing economic freedom, while nonprofits in Seattle are reporting they've helped more than 1,500 transgender people relocate there since the 2024 election — more than 20 times the number they helped before it. We make the distinction: conservatives making the move don't need charities to pay for it, they just do it. And we connect both migrations to the same underlying truth — people are voting with their feet, and they're moving toward communities that reflect how they want to live and away from places that make them feel legally, culturally, or politically out of place.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the U.S. relaunched strikes against Iran after Iran attacked three tankers in the Strait of Hormuz — with a Pentagon spokesperson telling CNN simply, this is punishment, it won't be over for a bit. Iran then had the audacity to call the reimposition of oil sanctions a violation of the ceasefire agreement — the same ceasefire they violated by setting three ships on fire. Then former Tallahassee mayor and 2018 Florida Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum — who nearly beat Ron DeSantis by less than half a point — was arrested in Daphne, Alabama after being spotted driving erratically, with officers finding marijuana and methamphetamine in his vehicle. And the former mayor of Jackson, Mississippi pled guilty to bribery — this from a mayor who presided over a city that went without water for at least one full month every year of his tenure.
We also address Marjorie Taylor Greene's suggestion that the multiple sexual assault allegations against Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Plattner — the man with the Nazi SS tattoo — might be a political hit job. We make the distinction between the timing of Politico's publication, which may have been orchestrated around the July 13th ballot deadline, and the underlying allegations themselves, which were there long before anyone ran a story. Not every damaging allegation is a political hit job. Sometimes people just do bad things.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson share what liberal friends actually say about 2028 when nobody's performing for a crowd. Teri's Danish-American friend in Wyoming — who can't stand Trump — says when asked who she'd want as next president, the answer wasn't AOC, wasn't Gavin Newsom, and definitely wasn't Kamala Harris. It was Marco Rubio. And she says all her liberal friends feel the same way — presidential, articulate, someone who could actually bring people together. We discuss what a Trump-Vance-Rubio sequential presidency could mean historically, and compare it to Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe's consecutive terms that effectively ended the Federalist Party.
We discuss whether Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito should consider strategic retirements before President Trump leaves office to lock in conservative influence on the Supreme Court for the next four decades — and we make the case that while winning elections is the cleaner solution, two and a half years is not a long runway if something changes in November.
In our Digging Deep segment, we run through a YouGov poll on flag favorability by party — and the results are genuinely stunning. For Republicans, the American flag comes in at a net positive of 97%, followed by the Betsy Ross flag, the Trump flag, the thin blue line flag, and the Israeli flag. For Democrats, the most popular flag is the Black Lives Matter flag at plus 69% — beating the American flag at plus 62%. Democrats also rate the flags of Ukraine and Mexico more favorably than the Betsy Ross flag — the very first symbol of this nation. We connect it to Sunny Hostin's claim that seeing an American flag in a neighborhood makes her feel unsafe — and to the FEMA report that Biden administration workers were instructed to skip homes flying American flags because they were likely Trump supporters.
We also cover an ICE officer who shot and killed an illegal alien in Houston who allegedly used his vehicle as a weapon against federal agents during a targeted enforcement operation — and we make the only point that needs to be made: if you try to run over a law enforcement officer with a two-ton vehicle, the officer has the right to defend his life. The left will ask whether the officer should have been there in the first place. They won't ask whether the illegal alien should have been here in the first place.
For our Bright Spot, a left-leaning author in a left-leaning publication — Washington Monthly — writes that despite his deep opposition to Donald Trump, he is still hopeful about America because of how far the country has come since the Bicentennial in 1976. Life expectancy is up six and a half years. Heart disease deaths are down nearly 60%. Cancer deaths are down more than a third. The air is dramatically cleaner. The Chicago River — which hospitalized his sister after she fell in during 1972 — now has people swimming in it on the Fourth of July. Car crash fatalities have been cut in half. Even the murder rate is down 50% over 50 years. We take it as a bright spot — not because we needed to be convinced, but because a leftist went looking for objective evidence and found it anyway.
And we close with Andres Robles, who turned eight years old and celebrated at Disneyland — where he was greeted at the train platform on Main Street USA as the one billionth visitor to enter the park since it opened on July 17th, 1955. His family unveiled an updated sign reading population one billion and received a VIP tour. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 6, 2026.
We open with reports from investigative journalist Laura Loomer that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell — who was hospitalized on June 14th after EMS had to restart his heart at his home — has not left the hospital and may not recover. We discuss the lack of transparency from his staff, the separate story of his wife Elaine Chao traveling to Beijing to meet with the Chinese Vice President three days after her husband's cardiac emergency, and the broader question of McConnell's legacy — a man who served as Republican Senate leader longer than anyone in American history while half the national debt was added on his watch, Obamacare was never repealed, and regular order budgets were never passed.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Washington D.C. held the largest fireworks display in American history over the Fourth of July weekend — more than 850,000 fireworks launched in close to an hour, massive crowds, and only four total arrests. Most local D.C. media chose to lead with air quality warnings. Then Graham Plattner, the Maine Democratic Senate nominee who has already survived scandals involving a Nazi SS tattoo, alleged spousal abuse, and sexual messages to women on a predator website, now faces a new allegation from a woman who says he entered her home drunk and forced himself on her in 2021. And Paul Pelosi — husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — has been charged with hit and run after allegedly crashing into a parked car in Napa County and driving away even as his car became inoperable from the damage. This is his second major driving incident in four years.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson recap the Spinks Sisters' 24th annual Fourth of July party — 100 people, a prayer circle, volleyball, a slip and slide, and scenes that made them want to stop and freeze the moment in their memories. They also discuss the contrast between what they saw at the party and what they saw in CNN's coverage of the historic Washington D.C. fireworks show, and reflect on World Cup tourists from around the world going viral saying they had never experienced this level of patriotism in their lives and that they were sorry for believing what their home country media told them about America.
We cover a guest on Joy Reid's podcast actively rooting for the U.S. to lose in the World Cup — not because of any team loyalty, but because a U.S. victory would benefit President Trump. We also note that Arizona Senator Mark Kelly spent the Fourth of July in a Mexico jersey at a World Cup watch party — and while anyone can cheer for whoever they want, doing it on America's 250th Independence Day as a sitting U.S. senator is a choice worth commenting on.
In our Digging Deep segment, a White House report on the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History finds that the museum has been ideologically captured — with its director on record saying her job is to problematize the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, to move attention away from what she calls an Anglo-centric focus on the American founding, and to use the museum's collection as a tool of social justice and activism. The report concludes the museum no longer treats the American story as a shared national inheritance but as a political instrument to divide and dispirit American citizens. We make the broader point that a museum which teaches only celebration is propaganda — but a museum that teaches only shame is propaganda too. And we return to a point worth making again: separating Black history into its own building while calling Black history absent from the National Museum of American History is not representation. It's segregation.
We also cover Sunny Hostin of The View saying that seeing an American flag in a neighborhood makes her feel unsafe as a Black woman — and we connect it to the report that FEMA workers under the Biden administration were instructed to pass over homes flying American flags because they were likely Trump supporters. We make the case clearly: the American flag is not a symbol of white supremacy. It is the flag of the Republic. If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail — and if the only lens you have is racism, you will find racism in every American flag.
For our Bright Spot, President Trump officially launched Trump Accounts — ringing a bell in the Oval Office that simultaneously opened trading on both the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq for the first time in history from the White House. More than 6 million accounts have been opened for children under 18, with 1.4 million receiving a $1,000 federal pilot contribution at an annual management fee capped by law at 0.1%. Michael and Susan Dell donated more than $6 billion to the program. We call it what it is — teaching children to bet on America, building financial confidence, and giving kids a real starting point for wealth that no government program has ever offered at this scale.
And we close with 32-year-old Kelsey Findler, who spent 43 days alone in the Pacific Ocean rowing from Monterey, California to Hawaii — 2,400 miles with nothing but her boat and two oars — arriving at the Hawaii Yacht Club on July 3rd to become not only the youngest woman to complete the crossing, but the fastest ever, shattering the previous record by more than 40 days. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Welcome to Day Two of American Ground Radio's 10th Annual Fourth of July Special — What Makes America Great — with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. We're continuing our celebration of America's 250th birthday with some of the most compelling voices in the country.
We open with Kirk Cameron, who escaped California for Tennessee and is spending the Fourth leading See You at the Library events in all 50 states — reading books of virtue to children as an answer to the drag queen storytime movement that swept public libraries during COVID. Kirk shares the Alexis de Tocqueville quote that he says captures everything: I searched America's harbors and rivers and farmlands and halls of Congress for the secret to her genius and power, and it wasn't until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness that I found it. America is great because she is good. And if she ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great. He also tells us about the National Monument to the Forefathers in Plymouth, Massachusetts — hidden in a residential neighborhood, unknown to most Americans — and the documentary he made about it called Monumental.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise joins us from Louisiana — and when we ask him when he first realized this country was exceptional, he tells us about lying in a hospital bed for three and a half months after being shot on a baseball field by a man who came to kill every Republican present. He talks about receiving calls from Benjamin Netanyahu and the King of Jordan — not because he was the president, but because they understood that an assassination attempt on a member of Congress was a threat to democracy itself. And he talks about returning to the House floor to a standing ovation from both sides of the aisle — and what that moment told him about what this country still is.
Navy SEAL and New York Times number one bestselling author Jack Carr — creator of The Terminal List, now in its seventh book with Red Sky Morning — talks about winning the lottery the moment you're born in this country, about taking his daughter to Normandy to sit across the table from D-Day veterans before it's too late, and about why the main difference between his generation and today's is a small device in a pocket that creates addiction with very few benefits. His prescription: read books, get outside, talk to people, and do exactly what he did in fifth grade when his parents took him to Revolutionary War battlefields.
Tommy Lahren of Fox News and OutKick tells us she was in fourth grade in South Dakota on September 11th — New York City felt like another world — and it was watching the country come together in the aftermath that first showed her there was something genuinely exceptional about being an American. She says September 12th, as horrible as its predecessor was, was one of the most beautiful days in American history. She also makes the case she's dedicated her career to — free speech absolutism — arguing that if you need to cancel someone else's voice to win the argument, your argument probably isn't very good.
Eric Metaxas joins us with his brand new book Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World — and delivers what may be the most historically grounded answer we've ever gotten on this show. He takes us back to Samuel Adams addressing Congress on August 1st, 1776 — the day before they signed the official copy of the Declaration — saying, we have this day restored the Sovereign. Capital S. Not King George III. The actual King. God. Metaxas explains that what the founders were doing was unprecedented in all of world history — reaching back to the Sinai covenant where the Israelites said they could govern themselves without a king — and that this is why America succeeded where the French Revolution collapsed into terror and dictatorship. His mother grew up in Nazi Germany. His father grew up in Greece. He was raised knowing this country is not normal.
Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee — now running for governor — shares the lesson that stuck with her from selling books door to door for 80 hours a week on straight commission in college: the harder and smarter you work, the more successful you will be. She connects faith directly to the founding documents — the Declaration's reference to a Creator as the source of unalienable rights is not incidental, she says. It is the whole point.
And for the first time in the history of this special, we welcome a former member of the British Parliament — Douglas Carswell, now president of the Mississippi Center for Public Policy — who moved from Britain to Mississippi in his late 40s and felt, in his words, like he was coming home for the first time in his life. He describes attending his first Friday Night Lights game in a small Mississippi town and watching every kid in school — athletes and non-athletes alike — playing some role in the evening, and seeing in that moment exactly what de Tocqueville saw: a society of many parts coming together to solve problems without direction from government. His answer to what makes America great — you look to each other to fix your problems. Not to government. That's why Elon Musk could only have happened here.
We close by reflecting on the two days of conversations, the idea of America as a nation founded not just on laws but on self-evident truths, and the core principle that runs through every interview in this special — America doesn't promise equal outcomes. It promises equal dignity, the freedom to pursue your own dreams, and the chance for ordinary people to discover the extraordinary greatness that God placed inside them. The greatness of America comes from the greatness within you. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Welcome to Day 1 of American Ground Radio's 10th Annual Fourth of July Special — What Makes America Great — with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. We're celebrating America's 250th birthday with some of the most inspiring voices in the country.
We kick things off with country music legend Clint Black, who calls the Constitution America's greatest gift — not because it created a perfect nation, but because the framers built in the wisdom to know they weren't perfect and gave the people the tools to correct course. He reflects on John Adams making those horseback rides from Boston to Philadelphia at an age Clint was when he was reading about it — knowing the punishment for failure was death — and what that kind of courage means to the rest of us.
Then Joe Piscopo — Frank Sinatra's vice chairman of the board — joins us from New Jersey, talking about his grandfather's manifest on the German freighter that brought him to Ellis Island, his father fighting for the United States Army Air Corps in World War II, and why every morning on the radio he feels like he's on a mission in their name to keep the legacy of this country alive.
Singer-songwriter Don McLean, author of American Pie, tells us about falling in love with an Israeli woman, living outside Tel Aviv while he could hear the Iran-Iraq War a hundred miles away, and coming home to America thinking — we have no idea how safe we are here. He also tells us about a new documentary on the making of American Pie and his brand new album American Boys.
Mattress Mack — Jim McIngvale of Gallery Furniture in Houston — gives us the three-word formula he's lived by his whole life: late to bed, early to rise, work like hell and advertise. He talks about opening his furniture store as a shelter during Houston floods and hurricanes, about a man who spent six years in Angola Penitentiary and is now one of his best employees, and about why the Judeo-Christian work ethic is the foundation of everything he's built. He also shares that in 1900, the average American household had 10.5 people. Today it's under two. And one, he says, is the loneliest number.
Gary Sinise — Lieutenant Dan himself, founder of the Gary Sinise Foundation, author of Grateful American — talks about standing at the DMZ between North and South Korea and staring into the eyes of a North Korean guard who has never known freedom, and what that does to your appreciation for everything the men and women who serve under our flag have given us. He also shares that the 30th anniversary of Forrest Gump is coming up on July 6th.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to talk about their 23rd annual Fourth of July family gathering — a tradition they started as young newlyweds so their children would always have a reason to come home — and what it means now that those children have children of their own. Teri talks about the new urgency she feels as a patriot, the sense that this 250-year experiment is teetering, and why that makes the celebration more important, not less.
Pastor Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Church in Dallas opens with the observation that Benjamin Franklin — a deist who didn't believe God intervened in human affairs — stood at the Constitutional Convention and said, the longer I live, the more I'm convinced God governs the affairs of men. He also makes a sober point that America has no biblical promise of eternal endurance the way Israel does — and that our future depends entirely on our response to God's call to repentance.
And Dr. Carol Swain — one of 12 children who grew up in poverty in the rural South, dropped out of school after eighth grade, and went on to earn a Ph.D. and become a university professor — says it was the people who made her great, many of them white men who saw something in her worth believing in. She says the most positive indoctrination in the world is being told you live in the greatest country on earth and that hard work will get you somewhere — and she credits not being exposed to critical race theory and victimology as part of why she was able to succeed.
Throughout the special, we return to the central truth that runs through every one of these interviews — America doesn't manufacture greatness. It unleashes it. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 30, 2026.
We open with the fight over the SAVE America Act on Capitol Hill, where House Republicans blocked not just the bill, but Speaker Mike Johnson's plan to advance it. Representative Anna Paulina Luna argued Johnson's strategy of pairing the election bill with the National Defense Authorization Act would allow the Senate to strip out the election language. We explain why we think Johnson's approach is the only one that forces the Senate to take a vote—because a bill that never leaves the House can't become law.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, we break down three major court rulings. The Supreme Court struck down President Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship, upheld state laws barring biological males from competing in women's sports, and the Colorado Supreme Court rejected two ballot measures that would have redrawn congressional districts mid-cycle.
Our American Mama, Teri Netterville, reacts to the women's sports decision, reflecting on the athletes whose stories helped shape the national debate and why she believes the ruling marks an important step toward restoring fairness in women's athletics.
We also discuss the launch of Donald Trump Jr.'s new MAGA club in Georgetown, complete with a reported $500,000 annual membership and America 250 celebration. While there's nothing illegal about it, we ask whether the optics fit the America First message.
In our Digging Deep segment, we examine a new Economist/YouGov poll showing a sharp partisan divide in how Americans view their country. We explore the difference between criticizing America's shortcomings and rejecting the country altogether—and what that says about the current political climate.
For our Bright Spot, a CBS poll asked Americans what they believe is the best thing about the United States, producing some encouraging answers about the people, the land, and the ideals that continue to define the country. We also discuss Senator John Fetterman's criticism of the far left and close with memorable reflections on American exceptionalism from Paul Tsongas, Bill Clinton, Rand Paul, and Ronald Reagan.
May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 29, 2026.
We open with the Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling — authored by Amy Coney Barrett — upholding Mississippi's law allowing mail-in ballots to be counted up to five days after Election Day as long as they're postmarked by Election Day. We explain why Justice Alito's dissent gets it right, ask the question Barrett's majority doesn't answer — if five days is fine, what about thirty, what about Washington State's weeks-long window — and connect it to the simplest proof that this is a choice, not a necessity: in 1948, with no computers, America knew who won the presidency by the next morning. We also call out the Republican senators blocking the Save America Act that would fix much of this.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Iran violated the ceasefire by launching four drones at cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz, with the U.S. Navy shooting down three and Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner heading to Doha to discuss Iran's breach of the agreement. Then the Supreme Court's mail-in ballot ruling lands in the context of a midterm election four months away. And the Court declined to hear President Trump's appeal of the E. Jean Carroll verdict — meaning the $5 million sexual assault finding stands despite a jury that rejected the rape claim entirely.
We're heading to Washington D.C. this week for the Great American Fair — and we push back on the outlet that ran a piece called "I went to the fair so you don't have to." The families, veterans, farmers, and World Cup tourists actually there weren't thinking about politics at all. The Mall belongs to the American people. And only 8% of Democrats think America is the greatest country on earth — a number worth sitting with.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson answer the question of how to raise kids who don't fight — and admit immediately that their own absolutely did, including a legendary Spinks sisters showdown on a Mississippi school bus so bad the principal-slash-bus-driver had to pull over and remind them they had both just been elected to the homecoming court. The real lessons: make siblings do things together until they laugh, enforce the no-friends rule until harmony is restored, and require both an apology and a forgiveness before anyone moves on.
In our Digging Deep segment, a new Voters Voice poll finds that 86% of registered voters — crossing all party lines — say they support America's founding ideals: life, liberty, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to bear arms, equal treatment under law, and government by consent of the governed. But only 31% think the country is living up to them. We dig into why those two numbers can coexist — and the answer is that we agree on the words but not the meanings. When the left says freedom of speech, they mean speech that isn't offensive. When they say the right to bear arms, they mean weapons that can't hurt anyone. The words are the same. The definitions have been gutted. Words have meaning, and when we stop defending the meanings, we lose the ideals.
We also cover naked participants at Seattle's Pride parade exposing themselves to children — while the state of Washington treats parents who refuse to transition their children as abusive. We make the same point about a Pride parade in Los Angeles where someone responded to the nudity by shooting participants with a BB gun — that is wrong, full stop. Conservatives who rightly condemn violence against pregnancy resource centers and Trump rallies must apply the same standard here. Violence is not how we settle disagreements in America, regardless of how offensive the behavior being protested.
For our Bright Spot, Bill Maher sat down with J.D. Vance and said on air that if the Democratic Party keeps heading toward democratic socialism, anti-Israel politics, and rejection of capitalism, his vote is in play in 2028 — and that he could see voting for either Vance or Rubio. Bill Maher has never endorsed a Republican for president across three Trump elections. We make the case he's not alone — there are a lot of people who feel the same way and just haven't said it on television yet.
And we close with Officer Sean Revy, the school resource officer at Greenway Middle School in Arizona, who found out the school couldn't afford the $2,000 needed to take 144 seventh and eighth graders — some of whom had never been to a movie theater — on their annual field trip. He bought all 144 tickets himself. You can't break a promise to a child. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 26, 2026.
We open with a story that should make New York City very nervous — Dallas, Texas is making a serious play for the title of financial capital of the world. The city council has approved an $18.5 million incentive package to lure Morgan Stanley, there are already more people working in finance in Dallas than in New York, Dallas is home to more Fortune 500 companies than any other American city, and the New York Stock Exchange itself has set up a satellite exchange in Texas called NYSC-TX. Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson is leading a business delegation to Manhattan to promote what he's calling Yall Street. We connect it to the bigger story — when your city elects socialists who call capitalism evil, eventually the capital leaves. New York is proving that in real time.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, former National Security Advisor John Bolton pled guilty to mishandling classified information — keeping thousands of pages of classified notes from his time in the Trump administration, sending them to a relative, and planning to use them for a book critical of Trump. The man who called for prosecuting Donald Trump for mishandling classified documents has now pled guilty to the exact same charge. Then an illegal alien from Honduras was sentenced to eight years for running an $89 million payroll fraud scheme — creating shell companies that allowed subcontractors to hire illegal aliens without the federal government knowing, while avoiding $89 million in payroll taxes. And New York State has ordered a new election after the district clerk of a Long Island school board was caught smuggling ballots out of her office and destroying them to help an incumbent school board member who goes by the name DJ Vic Lover.
We also cover the mother of a California transgender track athlete — a biological male competing in women's events — who complained that the new rule giving first-place honors to the top biological female finisher has somehow diminished her son's achievement. We ask whether the girls who finished behind him also trained. We also point out that track is a team sport, and supporting your teammates means recognizing when something is fundamentally unfair to them.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson discuss the Love Island contestant pulled from the show for a years-old video of her lip syncing to a song containing the N-word — and Teri shares a devastating personal story about a senior volleyball player at Arizona State who was kicked off her team for the exact same thing, for something she did before she ever set foot on that campus, by a coach who called her a year later to admit he knew it was wrong when it was happening. We connect it to the broader COVID-era mob mentality — the mandates, the pronoun enforcement, the careers destroyed — and the fact that nobody who drove those campaigns has ever come back and said they were wrong.
We dig into a Florida tattoo shop that publicly announced it will refuse service to active duty military and veterans — calling them war criminals. We point out the obvious — there would be no tattoo shops in America without the military, tattoos became popular specifically because sailors and soldiers brought them back from overseas service, and the current beard trend exists because special forces soldiers grew beards in Afghanistan and brought them home. Shameful doesn't cover it.
In our Digging Deep segment, Republican Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin released a report this week on COVID vaccine injuries — calling it the biggest government scandal of his lifetime — based on data that HHS had been hiding and that RFK Jr. released to Congress after Trump was reelected. The report reveals that in March 2021, senior FDA officials were briefed that the algorithm they were using to analyze vaccine adverse events was actually masking safety signals. Twenty-six days later, using an updated algorithm, officials were shown 25 safety signals including sudden cardiac death, stroke, and Bell's palsy — and instead of warning the public, they ordered analysts to cease and desist and told Americans no safety signals were being detected. The report also shows that 23 patients being treated for serious COVID injection injuries at NIH were told not to talk about the study. VAERS now shows 1,676,100 cumulative adverse events and nearly 40,000 deaths associated with COVID vaccines — with 24% of the deaths occurring within 48 hours of injection. We also note that the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, and Fox Digital all refused to publish or cover Senator Johnson's report. We ask which is worse — the government's cover-up of the vaccine deaths or the media's cover-up of the government's cover-up.
Then it's Fake News Friday — including whether the New York Times published an article on Father's Day about how women can become dads, whether the TSA told European travelers not to pack ranch dressing in their carry-ons, whether Canada has eliminated religious freedom as a defense against hate speech charges, whether a Democrat socialist backed by Mamdani said 9/11 was the result of white supremacy, whether there's a new musical about Luigi Mangione, whether a DC judge ruled that removing non-citizens from voter rolls constitutes purging voter rolls, and whether Kamala Harris is now in second place for the 2028 Democratic nomination behind the reflecting pool algae.
We also cover Paris banning outdoor alcohol consumption during a brutal summer heat wave — while 94% of Parisians have no air conditioning — and make the connection between a city that banned air conditioning in the name of climate change and a city government now banning wine to appease a Muslim immigrant population that has refused to assimilate. What is more French than wine? Apparently the city of Paris no longer knows.
Tom Holman announced the hiring of 10,000 additional immigration agents nationwide following a record year of deportations — the same Tom Holman who received a major award from Barack Obama for immigration enforcement. We call it exactly what it is — the voters sent these people to do a job and they're doing it.
And we close at Adams Place senior living center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, where the local fire department lays down a massive tarp every year, hooks up the fire hoses, blows up inner tubes, and Middle Tennessee State University football players grab the straps and run the length of the slip-and-slide with seniors sitting on the floaties. One player said it's a blessing just to make people's day. Never too old to have some fun. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 25, 2026.
We open with the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling clearing the way for the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian nationals — and we explain why this ruling is exactly right and why it took this long to get here. The T in TPS stands for temporary. It always did. The left shortened it to the acronym specifically so they wouldn't have to say the word. We connect it to Samuel Adams' warning that the tools of a tyrant pervert the plain meaning of words — and explain why a humanitarian program that has lasted 15 years and spawned a shadow immigration system was never what the law intended.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the U.S. Senate passed a war powers resolution demanding the U.S. cease military engagement with Iran — then President Trump called out specific Republican senators by name at a White House lunch, and the Senate voted on the exact same resolution again, with Rand Paul and Bill Cassidy flipping their votes. Then the Supreme Court handed the Trump administration a sweep of major wins — ending asylum claims from those who haven't yet crossed the border, upholding the end of temporary protected status, striking down Hawaii's concealed carry ban as unconstitutional, and ruling in favor of Monsanto over claims that Roundup causes cancer. And a series of massive earthquakes — a 7.1 followed by a 7.5 — struck Venezuela, with President Trump immediately offering USAID and instructing all agencies to move quickly to help the country the U.S. now considers a new and great friend.
We cover Rosie O'Donnell telling Jim Acosta's internet show that she doesn't think Trump's 2024 victory really happened and that she believes Kamala won — with no evidence, just the emotional need to reject a result that offended her politics. We note that Donald Trump won both the Electoral College and the popular vote, that Kamala Harris doesn't even think Kamala won, and that the left's habit of calling Republicans election deniers while doing exactly that themselves is the purest form of projection.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson debate whether party games kill the vibe or enhance it — and the answer, it turns out, depends entirely on timing. Throwing out Uno mid-conversation is a vibe killer. Showing up to a designated game night is a completely different experience. We also hear about a competitive grandmother who never let anyone win, a son-in-law who travels with board games, and the Parr family's ongoing Dungeons and Dragons campaign that has been running for a year and a half with six-hour sessions.
In our Digging Deep segment, we read the Democratic Socialists of America's actual platform — all of it, including the pictures — and what we find is nothing short of a blueprint for revolution. They explicitly call for a new democratic constitution that would replace the current government with a single legislative branch — no Senate, no executive, no judiciary — with representation limited to workers, powerful labor unions, and social movements. This is not a party that wants to amend the Constitution. This is a party that wants to abolish it. We ask why the Democratic Party is allowing a party with a completely different platform to run its candidates in Democratic primaries — and we call the DSA exactly what it is: a parasite inside the Democratic Party whose first objective is to destroy its host.
We also cover Letitia James publicly expressing unhappiness with Mamdani's primary wins — and we notice that her complaint, stripped of the language, is essentially that the new wave of progressive candidates don't look like the old wave of progressive candidates. When diversity reaches positions of power that threaten your own position of power, suddenly it becomes complicated.
We note — with some genuine surprise — that Mayor Mamdani has added 580 new police officers to the NYPD, triggering protests from the very Democratic Socialists of America activists who helped elect him, who are now protesting outside City Hall because they feel he has abandoned the cause of defunding the police.
For our Bright Spot, Justice Samuel Alito's majority opinion in the asylum case is a masterclass in the plain meaning of words — ruling that a person who has not crossed the border has not arrived in the United States, and therefore cannot claim asylum under a law that only applies to those who have arrived in the United States. He quotes the American Heritage Dictionary. He gives everyday examples. He is doing what every judge should do — letting words mean what they say. We call this a genuine bright spot.
Joy Reid says no Black person is really excited about the 4th of July because it's a symbol of slavery. We remind her that the Declaration of Independence — written during the era of slavery — declared it a self-evident truth that all men are created equal, and that statement was used to justify abolition. The United States was the first nation to ban the transatlantic slave trade, six months before Britain. That's what the Fourth of July represents.
And we close with the discovery that the Lincoln Memorial has a 15,000 square foot basement — called the Lincoln Memorial Undercroft — that has existed since the building was constructed in 1922 and is now open to the public for the first time, featuring a signed copy of the Emancipation Proclamation and graffiti left on the walls by the workers who built it.
May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 24, 2026.
We open with the results of New York City's Democratic primaries — and what they mean for the entire country. Nine incumbent Democrats were voted out across New York State in favor of more radical candidates, with Mamdani-backed democratic socialists winning clean sweeps in three congressional districts. Claire Valdez, who wants to abolish ICE, demilitarize police, end the Israeli military occupation of Gaza, and impose a wealth tax, won the 7th Congressional District. Brad Lander beat a two-term congressman in the 10th. Daria Laza Avila Chevalier — who once posted that America is an effing disgrace and wiped her hands on the flag instead of getting a napkin — won the 13th. We make the case this is not a fringe movement anymore. The Democratic Socialists of America are doubling their block in Congress, they have labelled the Democratic Party itself as center-right, and New York Republican Party Chairman Ed Cox said it plainly — the DSA is no longer a faction within the Democrat Party. It is the Democrat Party in New York.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the DOJ announced the largest combined federal and state healthcare fraud enforcement action in U.S. history — 455 people charged across 45 states for $6.5 billion in false claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid, and other healthcare programs. Then Mamdani's three hand-picked candidates swept the New York City congressional primaries — with President Trump congratulating Mamdani in a move we explain was pure trolling, tying together the rise of the communist left and the media that celebrates it in a single sarcastic statement. And the gunman who opened fire on an ICE detention center in Alvarado, Texas last Fourth of July was sentenced to 100 years in prison, with his accomplices receiving 30 to 70 years — which is exactly how you deal with terrorism.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson take on the question of whether toxic men or toxic women are doing more damage to the country right now — prompted by a viral psychiatrist who went on record saying women are destroying America. Teri and Kimberly push back on the broadness of that claim while acknowledging the phenomenon of toxic femininity — the unrelenting rage they see at protests, on social media, and in the halls of Congress — and the faux feminists who scream about the MeToo movement right up until the Democrat Senate candidate with the SS tattoo needs their support.
We cover British World Cup fans going viral with apologies to America — one fan posting that his country owes America a huge apology because America is nothing like the media told them. We note that the U.S. built zero new stadiums for this World Cup because we already had them — unlike Qatar, Brazil, South Africa, and Russia who built new stadiums. We connect it to the broader point: there is an entire ecosystem internationally and domestically that profits from portraying America in the worst possible light, because if people actually saw what capitalism produces, they would reject the socialism being sold to them.
In our Digging Deep segment, it turns out the Biden administration ran its own version of Fast and Furious — not with guns this time, but with fentanyl. DEA Special Agent David Howell, a 14-year agency veteran, has filed a whistleblower complaint alleging that the DEA and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Albuquerque deliberately allowed more than one million fentanyl pills to flow onto the streets of New Mexico — including individual shipments of 150,000 and 50,000 pills — in hopes of making bigger arrests that never came. When Howell blew the whistle, the Biden DOJ sidelined him and barred him from testifying in any cases. We ask the obvious question — doesn't a government that breaks the law, gets people killed, then silences the patriots who call it out sound exactly like a communist government?
We also cover the Department of Justice threatening to sue California over its planned July 1st ban on Glock handguns, with Assistant AG for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon telling Governor Newsom and AG Rob Bonta to drop the unconstitutional restriction or face federal litigation. We explain why the Second Amendment is not a suggestion and why the courts have been moving toward stricter enforcement of Second Amendment protections in recent years.
For our Bright Spot, Kansas City, Missouri had to cancel its free bus program after six years because it ran out of money — with costs nearly doubling from the projected $8.8 million to over $15 million annually, while riders and drivers described the buses as unreliable, filthy, rolling homeless shelters. We call the failure a bright spot — because if any other city in America looks at this story and decides not to try it, including New York City where Mamdani has promised free buses for every New Yorker, then this expensive lesson will have saved someone else from an even more expensive one. That's what socialism always does — increases costs, increases misery, and eventually runs out of money.
We also note that President Trump's approval rating has spiked to 47% in the latest Daily Mail poll — driven largely by his push toward de-escalation and agreement with Iran — and discuss what comes next.
And we close with Dylan Munaki, who was diagnosed with stage four kidney cancer at 14 and given eight months to live. His doctor, Dr. Mary Austin, promised that if he beat his cancer, she would come to his graduation. After 52 weeks of chemotherapy, Dylan was declared cancer-free. Dr. Austin took a job 1,500 miles away in Seattle. She kept her promise.
May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 23, 2026.
We're broadcasting live from Times Square in New York City — on primary day, as Mayor Zoran Mamdani attempts something far larger than winning a few congressional primaries. We explain why what Mamdani is trying to do is bigger than New York — he's attempting to remake the entire Democratic Party in the image of democratic socialism, purging what's left of moderate Democrats and replacing them with Democratic Socialists of America candidates. We ask the question nobody on the left seems willing to answer — name one socialist experiment anywhere in the world you would describe as compassionate. Venezuela? Cuba? China? The Soviet Union? If your ideology has no successful historical examples, what exactly are you basing it on?
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the U.S. is allowing Iran to sell oil in U.S. dollars through August 21st — within the 60-day window of the initial peace agreement — with Vice President Vance making clear that everything goes back on if Iran doesn't deliver. Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is actually increasing. Then three non-citizens — from Brazil, Haiti, and Cuba — pleaded guilty to voting in U.S. federal elections in both 2020 and 2024, had their residency status revoked, and reminded everyone that the most secure election in history apparently had at least some fraud in it. And the superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District resigned this week following FBI raids on his home, office, and Miami property earlier this year — with scuttlebutt about potential kickbacks tied to an educational software program he was promoting.
We also cover a federal judge blocking the Trump administration's use of the SAVE database — a system the government already has — to allow states to cross-reference their voter rolls against citizenship and immigration records. We explain why this ruling is breathtaking in its logic: the government cannot share data it already has with another part of the government to verify data it already has. We ask why this is even controversial.
Our American Mamas Terri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson discuss a Dallas case where a 75-year-old man named Chung Kim shot and killed his upstairs neighbors after they repeatedly dropped dog waste and dirty diapers onto his balcony, documented everything, went to management repeatedly, and got no help. We explore the line between a system that fails its citizens and the moment someone takes matters into their own hands — and connect it to John Adams' warning that our government is only suitable for a moral and religious people.
We dig into Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner — George Soros' most famous district attorney — and a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that found Krasner's office committed a pattern of misleading and mendacious filings, withheld material evidence, submitted a false stipulation of fact, misstated facts in filings, and opposed required evidentiary hearings — all in service of helping convicted murderers and rapists avoid prison through fraudulent post-conviction relief claims. We ask the obvious question — if the state Supreme Court found all of this, why isn't Larry Krasner in jail?
We also revisit the Fauci documents dumped by Tulsi Gabbard on her way out as DNI — and ask the question plainly. If Fauci used USAID through back channels to fund research that created the COVID-19 virus, which killed 7.1 million people internationally — and did nothing wrong — why did he lie to Congress? And why did Joe Biden issue a preemptive pardon for crimes nobody had formally accused him of yet?
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has expanded his trans-femicide state of emergency — focused on a statistically tiny number of transgender murder victims — while nearly 200 people have been killed in Chicago already this year by conventional violence. We explain why dividing crime victims into political categories is not just morally wrong but strategically stupid — if you actually enforce the law against everyone, everyone is protected.
For our Bright Spot, we work through the five most visited landmarks in New York City — Central Park, Times Square, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, and the 9/11 Memorial — and find a deeper American story in each one. The conservationist tradition. The triumph of capitalism. Industrial ambition. A monument from France to American liberty. And a reminder that there are people in the world who want to tear down everything on that list.
And one of Mamdani's congressional candidates — Dira Liza Avila Chevalier — posted in 2021 that America is an effing disgrace and that when she needed a napkin for barbecue, she just wiped her hands on the American flag instead of getting up to get one. She has since deleted the post. Mamdani still supports her. We note that men and women have bled for that flag.
We close with the passing of former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan at 100 years old — who served under four consecutive presidents from Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush — and the John McCain quote that may be the best tribute anyone ever paid him. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 19, 2026.
We open with Tulsi Gabbard's parting shot as Director of National Intelligence — a new batch of declassified COVID origin documents that are now sitting on an official government website, fully indexed, available for any American to read. What they show, according to Gabbard, is that Dr. Anthony Fauci worked with politicized intelligence community leadership to suppress evidence of the lab leak theory, influence intelligence assessments, and mislead the very investigators who were asking him about research he himself was funding. We note the stunning circular logic — the intelligence community went to the man who funded the Wuhan lab and asked him whether the virus came from the lab he funded. He said no. They believed him. We also ask the question that still demands an answer — why did Joe Biden issue a sweeping preemptive pardon for a man who hadn't been charged with anything?
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, first-time unemployment claims fell to 226,000, hovering near all-time lows, while gas prices dropped below $4 a gallon nationwide for the first time since the Iran conflict began — none of the economic doom the left predicted has come to pass. Then RFK Jr. announced that obesity rates in the United States have dropped for the first time in 50 years, down 2.5% since the start of Trump's second term — in a country where 48 cents of every federal tax dollar now goes to healthcare, with 90% of that spent on chronic disease. And Tulsi Gabbard's final official act was releasing files accusing Fauci of lying to Congress, lying to intelligence investigators, and covering up gain-of-function research — with Biden's preemptive pardon standing between accountability and the documents now in public view.
We also cover a federal judge clearing the way for the release of hours of Biden audio recordings — conversations with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer in which Biden allegedly disclosed classified information, and the special counsel interview that led Robert Herr to say he wouldn't prosecute because Biden was too elderly and sympathetic a figure for any jury to convict. The same man who was still the sitting president of the United States at the time.
Our American Mama Terui Netterville joins the conversation on the World Cup tourists going viral across America — and she has been watching. Thousands of videos from visitors across Europe, Asia, and beyond who drove through the South, stopped at Buc-ee's and Waffle House, discovered free public restrooms and free water and air conditioning in stadiums, and posted online that everything they had been told about America was wrong. One visitor put it perfectly — if you want to hate the U.S., just listen to the media. If you want to love the U.S., just drive across it.
The Los Angeles City Council voted 10-5 to place a measure on the ballot that would allow non-citizens — including those in the country illegally — to vote in local elections and school board races. We ask what citizenship means if residency is sufficient, where the line stops once you detach voting from legal status, and what the Declaration of Independence says about who gets to institute a government and for whom.
In our Digging Deep segment, CNN conducted a poll asking Americans which source they trust most for political news. The number one answer was Fox News — at 5%. CNN came in second in its own survey at 2%. NPR and local news also came in at 2%. CBS was less than 1%. One man — Joe Rogan — was trusted by more people than the entire CBS News organization. We examine what this means: not just that big media is struggling, but that the organizations that used to capture 90% of the television audience in the 1950s through 1970s are now irrelevant because they stopped serving their audiences — and the audience went looking for something they could actually trust.
We also cover the Mexican president pushing back on President Trump's claim that the cartels control Mexico — and we point out that any politician who speaks out against the cartels in Mexico tends to end up hanging from a bridge. We hold up Nayib Bukele's El Salvador as the model — went medieval on the gangs, jailed everyone with a gang tattoo, and turned El Salvador into the safest nation in Central America.
Then it's Fake News Friday — including whether Joe Biden was left alone on stage at the Obama Presidential Library opening and had to be retrieved by Jill, whether Barack Obama played air guitar at his own library dedication, whether one of the UFC fight plotters was someone Barack Obama had allowed to remain in the country, whether SpaceX has now launched more satellites than the rest of the world combined, whether Artemis 2 got to the moon and back faster than California counted its votes, and whether GLAD says AI isn't gay enough.
We also cover the immunity deal granted to Tyler Robinson's boyfriend in connection with the Charlie Kirk murder case — and explain why, while the conspiracy theories won't die regardless of what testimony emerges, the grant of immunity to a key witness should eventually put some of the internet speculation to rest.
And we close with the unveiling of the new Air Force One — a 747-8 gifted to the U.S. by Qatar and extensively upgraded, featuring a dark blue bottom, red stripe, and white top with gold accents, chosen personally by President Trump. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 18, 2026.
We open with a California bill moving through the legislature that would allow minors in residential treatment facilities to trigger state investigations of their own parents — and we explain why this isn't about protecting children from genuine abuse. It's about a state that has spent years operating from the assumption that parents are wrong and government is right. We walk through the mechanism — buried inside dry juvenile dependency language is a process by which a child who disagrees with their court-ordered treatment can initiate a legal review that effectively places their parents under state investigation. We connect it to a pattern the left has run for years — driving a wedge between children and the parents who are trying to save them, and then letting the state step in as the replacement parent. And we warn parents outside California that bad ideas rarely stay behind state lines.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the United States and Iran signed a Memorandum of Understanding — covering the five key pillars, with a 60-day negotiating window to reach a final deal and reconstruction funds from regional partners available if Iran follows through. Then D.C. Democrat primary winner Janice Lewis George is heading toward the general election, with President Trump already promising to take back D.C. if a socialist wins the mayor's race. And the Coast Guard intercepted a speedboat off the coast of Florida carrying 25 Chinese nationals attempting to enter the country illegally — firing on the engines to disable the vessel after repeated warnings went ignored. We note that we have never in our lifetimes heard of the U.S. government disabling boats trying to enter illegally — and call it exactly what it is: a closed border.
We sit down with Dr. Peter Earle of the American Institute for Economic Research to take the actual temperature of the U.S. economy — separate from the media's doom-and-gloom narrative. Dr. Earle's assessment: the hard data still describe an expansion, but forward-looking indicators are more cautious. Consumer spending remains positive, corporate earnings are holding up, and there are no overall recessionary conditions — but elevated interest rates, housing affordability, and the national debt are real concerns. He also explains why gas prices won't drop overnight even with the Iran deal — the research shows it takes about 22 weeks for oil price reductions to fully pass through to consumers, meaning relief at the pump is more likely late summer or early fall. And he explains why Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire is less about personal wealth and more about what it will cost to turn SpaceX into the Amtrak of space travel over the next several decades.
Barack and Michelle Obama appeared on Good Morning America to promote the opening of the Obama Presidential Center — and Barack said he wants visitors to walk through and think, what's possible? We take him at his word and answer the question. We also note that many of the subcontractors who built the nearly billion-dollar complex — which ran nearly $300 million over budget — have reportedly not been paid.
Our American Mama Teri Netterville responds to the San Francisco Giants story — where pitchers were warned by MLB after writing Bible verses on their caps during Pride Night. A San Francisco player spoke beautifully about why the rainbow holds deep biblical meaning for Christians as the sign of God's Noahic covenant — and why writing Genesis 9:12-16 on a hat is not anti-anything. It's pro-something. Teri says she supports marriage equality — and still thinks forcing players to celebrate someone else's sexuality on their uniforms is wrong, performative, and is actually pushing people away from the very acceptance the movement says it wants.
We also cover the New York Knicks' White House visit — and their championship celebration at City Hall, where Mayor Mamdani delivered a 10-minute speech before anyone from the actual championship team could speak. Knicks owner James Dolan stepped to the mic and said simply — I don't need your vote. I don't need to quote you. If you're a real Knicks fan, you already know. Nobody needed a program to figure out who that was aimed at.
For our Bright Spot, a new American Enterprise Institute poll on civic values finds that 82% of Americans believe in equal opportunity regardless of race, religion, or gender, 79% say everyone has the right to their religious beliefs, 72% still believe hard work can lead to prosperity, and 66% believe people can criticize the government without fear of punishment. We call this exactly what it is — evidence that the American idea is still alive in the hearts of most Americans — and note that 75% say the Declaration of Independence should be taught in high school, even though only 29% have actually read it. It's two pages, folks.
We also cover a Trump-appointed federal judge who ordered ICE to release a Palestinian green card holder convicted of throwing Molotov cocktails at Israeli armed forces — a man the U.S. government has known about for 25 years. We ask the more important question — why did we let him in in the first place?
And we close with Alyssa Goralnik, who published a children's vocabulary book called Weighty Words in 1985 and never made a dime. Forty years later, an author named Eli McCann posted a video about the book on social media. Within weeks it hit the top of Amazon's bestseller charts and publishers rushed a second printing — not bad for a book written 20 years before Amazon existed. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 17, 2026.
We open with the growing influence of New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani and the rise of democratic socialism in America. Mamdani is backing congressional candidate Darya Avila Chevalier, who argues that all deportations are wrong — even for illegal immigrants convicted of violent crimes. We examine what that position means for immigration policy, public safety, and whether some politicians have abandoned the most basic responsibilities of government.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, we break down the latest election results in Georgia and Alabama, including where President Trump's endorsements helped and where they fell short. We also discuss the shocking legal strategy being used by the man accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, whose attorneys are preparing an "extreme emotional disturbance" defense.
American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a surprising study on which professions have the highest divorce rates, leading to a candid conversation about marriage, social influence, friendship, and why some couples survive difficult seasons while others walk away.
In Digging Deep, we expose a troubling pattern in government spending. A new report shows America's largest cities increased spending by 18% over the past decade with little measurable improvement in homelessness, violent crime, affordability, or income inequality. We also examine a massive fraud scheme in Minnesota involving 7,700 fake college students, stolen identities, and more than $12 million in taxpayer-funded financial aid.
We also cover subcontractors who say they are still fighting to get paid for work performed on Barack Obama's $1 billion Presidential Center, the celebrity lineup celebrating the grand opening, and the double standard surrounding patriotism, politics, and public performances.
For our Bright Spot, Scottish World Cup fans leave a lasting impact on New England by donating thousands of dollars to local charities, and a determined New York detective spends months tracking down a stolen wedding ring for a dementia patient — reuniting her with a treasured piece of her family's history.
May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 16, 2026.
We open with Hollywood's next election cycle project — Sean Penn and Warner Brothers are producing a film about January 6th from the perspective of an anti-Trump police officer, described as based on a real person but fictionalized. We discuss what an honest January 6th film would actually require — including the FBI coming clean about how many informants were in that crowd, whether they incited the violence, and why that information has been withheld from both Congress and defendants. We also note that the FBI agent who ran the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping sting — which a Michigan appeals court just threw out — was the head FBI agent in Washington D.C. on January 6th. Do we trust Sean Penn to tell that story? We already know the answer.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the FBI disrupted a terrorist plot to attack the UFC fight on the White House lawn — suspects planned to use explosive-laden drones to drive survivors into sniper fire, with 23 people named as suspects arrested across Ohio, California, Missouri, and Nebraska. Then President Trump arrived in France for the G7 summit, where topics include the Iran peace deal, Russia-Ukraine, and energy security — with French President Macron already looking for alternative routes to move Middle Eastern oil that don't depend on the Strait of Hormuz. And 15 Antifa members were arrested in Minnesota and charged with conspiracy to injure federal law enforcement officers after attempting to block immigration enforcement operations earlier this year.
We also cover James Carville's latest prediction that President Trump will resign by Easter of 2027 — bored, tired, distracted, and facing political collapse. We point out that Carville appears to be describing his own audience, not the man who negotiated an Iran peace deal, hosted a UFC fight on the White House lawn, and is still running laps around every critic who has ever declared him finished.
Our American Mama Teri Netterville responds to the competing events on the same weekend as the UFC fight — the anti-Trump Hollywood rally featuring Bette Midler, Robert De Niro, Jane Fonda, and Julia Roberts telling the crowd to breathe in the love and breathe out the fear. Teri asks where this outrage was when men with surgical implants were flashing the White House lawn on Easter during the Biden administration. She researched the cultural events Obama hosted at the White House — and says she's glad he did them. Her only point is that if a white president had done the same things specifically for white audiences, the left would have called it a scandal. The hypocrisy is the story.
We also cover Major League Baseball warning San Francisco Giants pitchers for displaying Bible verses on their caps during Pride Night — and connect it to a broader question about whose expression gets protected and whose gets punished — including the founding principle that rights come from the Creator, not from government, and why that matters the moment you try to elect someone who doesn't believe in a Creator at all.
In our Digging Deep segment, we document the cascading consequences of the FDA's Biden-era decision to allow abortion pills to be shipped through the mail without an in-person doctor visit. We walk through a documented series of cases — a woman trying to secretly give her ex-boyfriend's girlfriend an abortion pill, a man who pretended to be a woman online to obtain the pills and then told his pregnant girlfriend they were supplements, a doctor who tried to feed the pills to his sleeping mistress, and a DOJ employee accused of baking the pills into cookies for his girlfriend. Her baby died two days later. We make the case that in their zeal to make abortion as easy as possible, the left has created a system that makes it easier to force abortions on women who don't want them — which is a direct contradiction of every argument they've ever made.
We also cover a Cornell University student who refused a job interview and then told the employer he wasn't interested in working for a Jew — then doubled down when given a chance to walk it back. A crowdfunding campaign raised over $13,000 to reward him. We note that the Maine Democratic Party just nominated a man with an SS tattoo for Senate, endorsed by Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, and connect the dots on where mainstreaming anti-Semitism leads.
For our Bright Spot, a high school junior in Charlotte painted Live Like Kirk and a Bible verse on her school's spirit rock with prior permission — and was then treated like a criminal, forced out of class, and made to surrender her phone logs. The Alliance Defending Freedom took the case. The school board adopted a new speech policy, issued a public statement exonerating the student, and paid $95,000 in damages and fees. The Alliance Defending Freedom wins again.
And we close with Jim Freeman, a fourth grade teacher at Tully Elementary in Louisville, who isn't even Ryan Neighbors' teacher — but when he heard that Ryan, who has spina bifida and uses a wheelchair, would have to miss the school field trip to the Falls of the Ohio State Park, he bought a specialized backpack and carried her through the park himself. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 15, 2026.
We open with a major Supreme Court immigration case heading into the next term — the question of whether non-citizens with serious criminal convictions can be held in detention during deportation proceedings without bond hearings. We explain why this isn't a simple bumper sticker case, why the flight risk argument for criminal aliens is fundamentally different from that of U.S. citizens with community roots, and why the ruling could become one of the most consequential immigration decisions of the new term — directly testing how much process is due before temporary custody starts looking like indefinite imprisonment.
We also get into President Trump's peace deal with Iran, and why Barack Obama's claim that this is essentially the same deal he negotiated is not just wrong but precisely backwards. Obama's deal had a time limit on nuclear development — legally allowing Iran to have a bomb by 2030. Trump's deal requires Iran to destroy its highly enriched uranium, pledge never to obtain nuclear weapons, stop funding Hezbollah and Hamas, and open the Strait of Hormuz immediately upon signing — with economic relief only after the first two conditions are fully met. No cash on the runway. No expiration date. Not the same deal.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump announced a peace agreement with Iran over the weekend — covering the five key points — with a final signing expected in Switzerland on Friday. Then a B-52 Stratofortress crashed in Southern California after taking off from Edwards Air Force Base, with military officials saying the crash was unsurvivable — we offer our prayers and gratitude to the crew. And President Trump endorsed Congressman Mike Collins in the Georgia Senate Republican runoff against Derek Dooley, a former football coach who admits he didn't vote in either 2016 or 2020.
We walk through the five pillars of the Iran deal in detail — destruction of highly enriched uranium, a permanent pledge never to obtain nuclear weapons, ending the naval blockade only after the first two steps are complete, immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz upon signing, and a requirement that Iran stop funding all terrorist proxies including Hezbollah and Hamas. We note what makes this deal structurally different from every previous Iran negotiation — enforcement is built into the sequencing, not assumed as an afterthought.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson discuss whether women should still take their husband's last name when they marry — prompted by viral videos of couples doing rock-paper-scissors and tug-of-war at their own weddings to decide whose name to use. The Spinks Sisters kept their maiden names as middle names, missed them immediately, and are pretty clear on where they stand. We also explore what it signals about a marriage when a woman doesn't take her husband's name — and why in Washington especially, different last names make it a lot harder to spot the conflicts of interest.
In our Digging Deep segment, we take on the left's use of adjectives to alter meaning and control thought — starting with the phrase progressive Christianity versus Christian right. We work through why these two constructions mean completely different things, why the need for the adjective tells you the noun isn't what's being advertised, and how a pastor writing in Salon Magazine misquotes Jesus — changing blessed are the poor in spirit to blessed are the poor — to make Christ's words align with progressive ideology. We connect it to George Orwell's observation that whoever controls the language controls the masses, and explain why this linguistic sleight of hand is one of the left's most effective political tools.
We also note that Bill Maher is endorsing Graham Plattner — the Maine Democratic Senate candidate with the SS tattoo and the predator website — and explain that this isn't about principle. It's about keeping Susan Collins out of the Senate. Power, not values.
We also push back on Robert De Niro's claim that loving America today is like an abused spouse loving an abuser — and point out that conservatives who disagreed with everything Obama and Biden did never stopped saying they loved their country. Disagreeing with your leaders and loving your country are not the same thing. They never have been.
For our Bright Spot, the U.S. Men's National Team beat Paraguay 4-1 in the World Cup — the most goals the U.S. has ever scored in a World Cup match, with Florian Balogun scoring two in the first half. But the moment that mattered most came after the final whistle, when the entire team circled up in the middle of the field and prayed. Defender Mark McKenzie, whom teammates call pastor, led the prayer. On the biggest stage in the world, the U.S. team's first instinct was gratitude. We contrast that with Diego Maradona, who scored a goal with his hand and called himself a god. We'll take our team.
And we close with Emily Matijovic, a 16-year-old from Michigan who passed away in December and whose family chose to donate her organs. This spring — the spring she was supposed to graduate — her family threw her a graduation party. Four-year-old Ripley Farrell came from West Virginia. She received one of Emily's kidneys. Teenager Landon Coleman came from Virginia. He received Emily's heart. He told her family it lets him do things he couldn't do before. It is in giving that we receive. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 12, 2026.
We open with a question that gets at something deeper than any single news story — what's the difference between conspiracy theory and reality? We argue the answer is evidence, and we got a lot of it this week. We connect this to a Florida governor's race story — the presumptive Democratic nominee David Jolly is arguing illegal immigrants should be granted driver's licenses for the safety of all Floridians. We walk through why this argument requires you to accept that citizenship means nothing, that legal and illegal immigration are the same thing, and that the solution to someone breaking federal law is to hand them a state credential rather than send them home.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Now, SpaceX completed its initial public offering, opening at $150 a share and closing the day up 19% at $160.95 — the largest IPO in world history, making Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire and creating 4,400 millionaire employees in a single day. Then President Trump nominated Jay Clayton, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, to be the permanent Director of National Intelligence after Tulsi Gabbard's resignation — a pick that's already won the support of Senate Majority Leader John Thune. And the U.S. Supreme Court voted 6-3 to uphold a lower court's ban on nitrogen asphyxiation as a method of execution in Alabama, with Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma also having authorized but not yet used the method.
We also cover the United States becoming India's top supplier of liquefied natural gas — a development President Trump predicted, and one we frame as more than an economic story. It's about whether the world's largest democracy depends on energy from a stable rule-of-law nation or from regimes that use energy as a geopolitical weapon.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson discuss whether a single two-week vacation or multiple three-day getaways make for better family trips — and the consensus is clear. Long weekends create harmony, give everyone a job, and end before anyone's feelings get hurt. Teri shares the trick for getting grown children to join family trips — tell them you'll cover everything and all they have to do is show up.
In our Digging Deep segment, outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released a bombshell report revealing that the U.S. government has secretly funded more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries — including roughly 40 in Ukraine, a war zone, storing pathogens like anthrax, Ebola, and SARS. We explain gain-of-function research — modifying viruses to make them more dangerous — and connect it to Senator Rand Paul's documented evidence that the U.S. funded this kind of research in Wuhan despite repeated denials from Dr. Fauci and Biden administration officials. We also discuss a deeply troubling story out of Carencro, Louisiana, where a father is accused of secretly giving abortion pills to his 17-year-old pregnant daughter without her knowledge, causing a medical emergency and premature delivery — and we connect it to the broader debate over telehealth abortion pill prescriptions, which the data shows send one in ten women to the emergency room.
We also cover Democrats publicly calling for the demolition of the White House ballroom construction project if they regain power — and reflect on how dramatically the rhetoric around government buildings and symbolism has shifted over the decades.
Then it's our 10th year of Fake News Friday — covering whether more people attended the congressional baseball game than a typical Washington Nationals game, whether SpaceX is now worth more than the entire nation of Canada, whether two children running a lemonade stand in South Boston were robbed at gunpoint, whether a Pakistani immigrant running for mayor in Texas pled guilty to over 100 counts of voter fraud, and whether Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett claimed the knife used to murder Austin Metcalf wasn't a deadly weapon.
We also discuss the defacing of the National Mall with anti-Trump messaging carved into the grass — and make the point that the National Mall belongs to the American people, not to any politician or party, regardless of who's in office.
And we close with the story of Margaret Kerry, the human model and inspiration for Disney's Tinkerbell in Peter Pan, who passed away this past week at age 97. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 11, 2026.
We open with one of the most disturbing stories we've covered — federal officials have located 146,000 unaccompanied migrant children who entered the country during the Biden administration and disappeared into a broken government tracking system. Nearly half a million unaccompanied children were transferred into federal custody between 2019 and 2023, and the government lost track of three out of every four of them. Over 32,000 failed to appear for immigration court hearings — children who legally don't even have the capacity to be responsible for that. We point out that some sponsors used the same addresses and names over and over to claim multiple children — a hallmark of trafficking networks — and that acting Attorney General Todd Blanch confirmed this program was exploited for sexual assault and trafficking. We make the case that this level of failure isn't incompetence. It's a feature, not a bug, of an administration that prioritized volume over accountability — and we ask where these children go to get their childhoods back.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump paused another round of attacks on Iran after announcing a breakthrough in negotiations, with a final deal expected to be signed in Europe as early as this weekend — including guarantees Iran will never possess a nuclear weapon and that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen to shipping without Iranian tolls. Then the CEO of ActBlue refused to answer questions during a congressional hearing, repeatedly citing attorney-client privilege and Fifth Amendment protections amid allegations of fraudulent campaign donations including foreign contributions. And a Michigan court overturned the conviction of one of the men accused of plotting to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020, ruling that kidnapping isn't a violent felony under Michigan's terrorism statute — we revisit the role the FBI itself played in organizing that plot.
We also cover New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani attending the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden with a roughly $1,000 standing-room ticket — despite running a campaign built on taxing the wealthy and claiming he'd have to move back in with his parents due to financial strain. We make the broader point about socialism and its leaders — the people at the top always seem to find their way to the good seats while telling everyone else to live within their needs.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the question of whether MAGA is dead, as several prominent former Trump-aligned commentators have recently suggested. They point to Trump-endorsed candidates sweeping primaries in South Carolina, Louisiana, and Texas as evidence the movement is alive and well, and discuss the pattern of high-profile pundits — Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens — making abrupt reversals after years of consistency, while Trump's messaging has remained the same. They draw a comparison to Ann Coulter's earlier break with Trump over the border wall timeline, suggesting some of these breaks come from single-issue voters whose patience ran out on one specific promise.
We dig into the controversy over whether ICE enforcement should pause during the World Cup — with activists arguing that immigration enforcement makes undocumented immigrants feel unsafe attending games. We point out the absurdity by comparison — nobody argues pickpocketing laws should be suspended during the Super Bowl. In our Digging Deep segment, we cover the case of a Somali World Cup referee who was denied entry into the United States after Customs and Border Protection flagged his connections to Al-Shabaab, an Al-Qaeda affiliate — and his own social media posts containing antisemitic statements. We walk through why this isn't about ethnicity, despite Al-Shabaab itself issuing a statement calling it racial discrimination, and why a country has every right to keep people connected to designated terrorist organizations out, regardless of their profession.
We also cover the first arrest from a new federal fraud task force's top-10 most-wanted list — a $100 million bank fraud case in Orange County involving falsified title insurance documents and altered digital metadata.
For our Bright Spot, a new study out of the University of Maryland School of Medicine and published in the Annals of Family Medicine found that patients who received five minutes of intercessory prayer — including the laying on of hands — experienced significantly greater pain and anxiety reduction than those who listened to faith music or meditation, with benefits lasting up to six weeks. Remarkably, the results held regardless of whether the patient receiving prayer was a believer — what mattered was the faith of the person doing the praying. We connect it to the biblical example of the centurion asking Jesus to heal his servant, and note that researchers are now suggesting intercessory prayer become standard medical practice.
And we close with Jimmy Kimmel mocking Spencer Pratt over losing his home in the LA wildfires by renting him a U-Haul — which we call exactly what it is, shameful — and the congressional baseball game, where Republicans beat Democrats 11-2, with Florida Rep. Greg Steube striking out five batters and Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt named MVP for a diving catch that left him bloodied. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 10, 2026.
We open with a deep dive into the Iran negotiations — and the fundamental question that no amount of dealmaking experience can easily solve. President Trump is the greatest negotiator of his generation, but every negotiation assumes both parties want a mutually beneficial outcome. The Iranian regime wakes up every morning chanting death to America and death to Israel. Where is the common ground with people who want you dead? We trace the Iranian Revolution back to its founding act — not signing a constitution, not declaring independence, but taking Americans hostage — and explain why a regime defined by its opposition to America may never be capable of the kind of deal Trump has made in every other negotiation of his life.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the U.S. and Iran exchanged fire again this week following Iran's shooting down of an American Apache helicopter — the U.S. launched fighter jet strikes on Iranian air defenses, Iran fired missiles at U.S. bases in Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait, and the U.S. launched a second wave of strikes Wednesday evening. President Trump said Iran was taking too long and would now have to pay the price. Then Democrats in Maine voted overwhelmingly to nominate Graham Plattner — the man with the SS tattoo, the predator website, and the endorsements of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren — as their Senate candidate against Susan Collins. And Carmelo Anthony was convicted of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf and sentenced to 35 years in prison — a jury that took just three hours to convict and another three hours to sentence, while protesters outside claimed the verdict was racist despite multiple Black teammates of Metcalf testifying that Anthony committed the crime.
We dig into the aftermath of the Anthony verdict — specifically a petition circulating on Change.org calling for the arrest of Austin Metcalf's surviving twin brother Hunter, claiming his alleged behavior contributed to the murder. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson respond to the mother outside the courthouse who asked what she should tell her five sons after the verdict. The answer, says Teri, is simple — don't stab people. We also discuss the race-baiting that surrounded the trial from the beginning, the GoFundMe that raised millions for Anthony's defense, the impact statements from the Metcalf family in the courtroom, and why Carmelo Anthony's parents walked out rather than listen to Austin Metcalf's father speak.
We also cover President Trump bringing the workers who restored the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool into the Oval Office — giving them presidential challenge coins and publicly honoring the people who actually did the work rather than the politicians who show up for the gold-plated shovel photo op. We call it exactly what it is — a reminder that America was built by people in tool belts, not people at podiums.
In our Digging Deep segment, a new Signal poll heading into the midterms shows that swing voters — the ones who actually decide elections — believe Democrats are more focused on hating Donald Trump than solving problems by a margin of 23 points. We also note that only 58% of Americans say they are extremely or very proud to be American, including only 28% of voters under 30, and that 30% of Democrats say they are not at all proud of their country. We make the case that if you can't tell the American people what you love about this country or offer them solutions that have actually worked somewhere on earth, running on hatred of one man is not a winning message.
We also weigh in on Graham Plattner's victory speech — in which he said it was his job to earn the trust of disappointed voters. We point out that trust is not the starting point. Vision is. And we ask the question JFK would have asked — what can you do for your country — and wonder how well his 1961 inaugural address would play at a 2026 Democrat rally.
For our Bright Spot, the World Cup kicks off Thursday in the United States, Canada, and Mexico — and European fans traveling across America to follow their teams are going viral for the most American reasons imaginable. A German man driving from Georgia through Mississippi to Texas ate Waffle House at 1 a.m., stopped at Buc-ee's, and attended a practice match at Auburn Stadium where he posted that his European mind could not comprehend what he was seeing. A Swedish woman who flew into Indianapolis posted from a flight over Colorado that she had faster Wi-Fi than at home and that the United States had completely radicalized her within 48 hours. We call it what it is — the American dream, visible to everyone who arrives here with open eyes.
And we close with the Chicago Bears officially heading to Hammond, Indiana — after Governor Pritzker couldn't offer them what they needed. They weren't asking for a bailout. They were willing to invest $2 billion of their own money. All they wanted was tax stability. A government that has no stability itself cannot give stability to anyone else. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 9, 2026.
We open with President Trump's declaration that the U.S. will achieve total victory over Iran within two weeks — and we dig into what that actually means. Iran just shot down a U.S. Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz. Both pilots survived and were rescued by an unmanned drone in the first such rescue of U.S. service members in history. We work through the tensions in Trump's statements — between declaring victory in two weeks and talking about trillions of dollars in infrastructure reconstruction — and ask whether those two things can both be true at the same time.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Iran shot down a U.S. Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz — both pilots bailed out safely and were rescued by an unmanned drone in a historic first. Then Vice President J.D. Vance sent a criminal referral to the DOJ urging prosecution of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for covering up Medicaid fraud, intimidating whistleblowers, and directing state employees to stop investigating fraud in Somali immigrant communities to avoid accusations of racism. And Carmelo Anthony has been convicted of murdering high school track star Austin Metcalf — who was stabbed in the heart with a knife Anthony had hidden in his backpack at a Texas track meet after refusing to leave a rival school's tent when asked.
We get Dr. John Eastman — former attorney for President Trump and former California attorney general candidate — on the phone to explain why Spencer Pratt was eliminated from the Los Angeles mayor's race after holding second place on Election Day. Eastman explains California's universal mail-in ballot system, the notoriously dirty voter rolls full of dead people and illegal immigrants, the practice of runners harvesting ballots from apartment mailboxes, and the statistical impossibility of a ballot batch update in which 24,000 votes were counted and zero — literally zero — went to a candidate who had been pulling about 30% throughout the count. He also explains why the courts in California refuse to accept statistical anomalies as evidence of fraud and why the system has been deliberately designed to make post-election proof nearly impossible to obtain. And he connects it all back to the founding principle — the only legitimate government is one based on the consent of the governed, and consent can only be given through free and fair elections.
We also cover new information from Jim Jordan's congressional hearings showing that the Biden Justice Department met with the Southern Poverty Law Center on a quarterly basis, treated them as a credible source, and used their designations — which labeled the Family Research Council, Moms for Liberty, and the Alliance Defending Freedom as hate groups — to inform federal law enforcement decisions. The Richmond FBI memo suggesting pro-life Catholics could be linked to extremism? The sourcing came from the SPLC. We explain why this matters to everyone regardless of party — because when a government starts investigating viewpoints instead of crimes, nobody is safe.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the question of whether someone with an OnlyFans page can ever expect to get a husband — prompted by the news that Denise Richards joined OnlyFans after her own daughter did. We get into why the platform combines the two things people most want — money and fame — while delivering neither happiness nor lasting value, and why the basketball player's wife who kept her page secret for five years until her husband found out and divorced her is the most honest version of where that road ends.
We dig into Washington D.C. public school sex education — which has apparently stopped using the terms male and female to describe human biology in order to avoid conflicting with gender ideology. We note that this is being done in what some consider the most educated city in America, and compare it to trying to teach geography without using the words continent or ocean.
For our Bright Spot, Meta has announced America's Workforce Academy — a cost-free, five-week training program with an initial $115 million investment that will train fiber technicians, welders, plumbers, electricians, and other skilled trade workers and guarantee jobs for all graduates. Mike Rowe calls it an important step in the right direction. We call it exactly what it is — a private company solving a public problem without waiting for the government to screw it up first.
And we close with the crew of Artemis 3 — Colonel Randy Bresnik, Colonel Frank Rubio, Commander Andre Douglas, and Italian astronaut Colonel Luca Parmitano — announced by NASA this week for the upcoming lunar landing mission expected to launch in late 2027. And an Air Canada pilot who flew commercially for 17 years without a valid pilot's license — proof that AI isn't the original scam. People have been fooling each other since the beginning of civilization. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 8, 2026.
We open with Border Czar Tom Holman's revelation that the protesters outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark are not grassroots New Jersey residents — they are professional travel protesters identified by facial recognition as having shown up at ICE facilities across the country, many from Portland and Minnesota. We explain why this isn't surprising, why Nancy Pelosi herself coined the term astroturf back in 2010 to describe the exact same tactic, and why the left's first instinct is always to accuse their opponents of the strategies they're already executing. We also ask the question nobody in the media is asking — who is funding this, and why haven't the organizers been charged under the RICO Act for coordinating criminal activity across state lines?
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Spencer Pratt has apparently been eliminated from the Los Angeles mayor's race — after holding a clear second place on Election Day, his vote share in ballots arriving after Election Day collapsed from 28% to 19%, while Democratic socialist Nithya Raman went from third place to first, gaining 17 percentage points in post-Election Day ballots to overtake both Pratt and Karen Bass. The DOJ is in California investigating the election. Then a 200-page House Oversight Committee report accuses Minnesota Governor Tim Walz of covering up massive Medicaid fraud in his state — including ordering employees to stop investigating fraud in Somali immigrant communities to avoid appearing racist, and then turning the investigative apparatus against the whistleblowers themselves, photographing their cars, monitoring their phones and computers, and finding out where their children went to school. And a nonprofit filed a lawsuit to stop the UFC fight on the White House lawn, claiming it violates federal law and an environmental impact study wasn't conducted before the temporary stadium was built.
We discuss President Trump walking out of his interview with Kristen Welker — and our American Mama Teri Netterville says what millions of Americans were thinking when they watched it. We talk about the growing gap between what the media is willing to report on Republicans versus Democrats, how the same anchor who challenges Trump's claim that Capitol Police let protesters into the Capitol has shown that footage on her own broadcast, and why after years of being asked to sit down with people who are going to misrepresent everything he says, the president finally said enough.
We also weigh in on Steven Spielberg's new movie Disclosure Day, in which he says he believes aliens have been here, that they are here, and that his film will leave Christians questioning their faith in God. We respectfully decline. We also note that he seems considerably less eager to challenge the faith of groups that don't respond with patience.
In our Digging Deep segment, Scott Pelley went to the New York Times after being fired from CBS and complained that his new boss suggested the public thinks CBS is biased — and Pelley demanded to know what evidence exists for that claim. We provide the evidence. Gallup's 2024 poll showed only 31% of Americans had any trust in mass media — the lowest since 1972. In 2025 it dropped to 28%. An Emerson College poll from 2025 found only 18% of Americans have a great deal of trust in national news organizations. Half of Americans believe news organizations deliberately mislead them. AllSides rates CBS with the same left-leaning bias as CNN, the New York Times, NPR, and the Washington Post. All of this was available on the first page of a single search engine query. We say if Pelley couldn't find it, he should have been fired for incompetence, not just insubordination.
We cover WNBA player Breonna Turner's objection to the USA 250 anniversary patch on WNBA jerseys — because, she says, none of the players would have been free 250 years ago. We note that basketball wasn't invented until 1891, and more importantly, that America's 250th anniversary is a celebration not of perfection but of the principles in the Declaration of Independence that Martin Luther King himself called a promissory note — the promise that made her freedom possible.
For our Bright Spot, the Department of Energy announced last week that a new nuclear reactor reached zero power fueled criticality at a lab in Idaho — the first reactor in 40 years to reach criticality in the United States — a month ahead of President Trump's July 4th deadline that most experts said was impossible. We explain what zero power criticality means, why micro-reactors are a game changer for energy independence, why the U.S. Navy has operated nuclear reactors on submarines and aircraft carriers since the 1950s with zero accidents, and why the future belongs to nations with abundant, affordable, and reliable energy.
And we close with Hakeem Jeffries apparently trying to launch his own Contract with America — assembling a Democratic affordability agenda with AOC in charge of healthcare and a transgender member of Congress in charge of caregiving. We wish him luck. We also close with 1,000 avocado growers in the Mexican state of Michoacán setting a world record with 15,000 pounds of guacamole. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 5, 2026.
We open with the federal government's announcement of multiple election fraud investigations and a comprehensive audit of California's voter registration system — while California is still counting ballots days after its primary election. We make the case that this isn't just about catching cheaters after the fact — it's deterrence ahead of the midterms. The Trump administration is sending a message to every state that someone is watching, and the only way that message lands is if someone ends up in a perp walk before November. We also explain why election integrity is mathematically connected to voter turnout — because when people believe their vote might not matter, they stop showing up.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, May job numbers came in at 172,000 — more than double the economists' expectation of 80,000 — with unemployment holding at 4.3% and wages rising without a single government mandate to do it. Then Florida settled the NRA's lawsuit against its three-day gun purchase waiting period, with the attorney general agreeing the law violated the Second Amendment — a remarkable shift in a state that passed that law with 72% of voters in 1998. And Democratic Congressman Jimmy Gomez — founder of the Dads Caucus in Congress, married with a son — admitted to an extramarital affair with the 29-year-old chief of staff of fellow California Democrat Eric Swalwell. The House Ethics Committee has launched a probe as additional allegations surface.
We also have a direct conversation with the one in three working-age men who have checked out of the workforce entirely — not just temporarily unemployed, but not even looking. We say what needs to be said — the greatness God placed inside you is not going to manifest on the couch. Go get a job, start a business, join the military, farm something. Do something. Women are doing it. Your country needs you to do it.
Our American Mama Teri Netterville weighs in on Victoria's Secret's dramatic comeback — stock price up from $15 to $75 after the company abandoned its DEI era and returned to supermodels, fantasy, and the product their customers actually wanted. Teri explains why more women than men watched the Victoria's Secret runway show in its prime, why women dress for other women as much as for their partners, and why the body positivity era collapsed under the weight of its own ideology — including the irony that the women who most loudly celebrated it are now on Ozempic.
In our Digging Deep segment, a congressional candidate in Iowa published a public confession apologizing for being white, cisgender, able-bodied, middle-class, and college-educated — and we use it to explain the fundamental difference between equal opportunity and equal outcomes that is at the root of almost every major political disagreement in America today. You should not feel guilty for succeeding unless you cheated to do it. America never promised equal outcomes. It promised equal opportunity. Those are not the same thing — and confusing them is the left's most effective lie.
We then dig into the judge who just ruled that President Trump's name must be removed from the Kennedy Center by June 16th — U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, appointed by Barack Obama. Judge Cooper is married to Amy Jeffress, who is Joe Biden's personal attorney and a partner at a law firm that represented E. Jean Carroll in her lawsuit against Trump. The man who officiated their wedding was Merrick Garland. Judge Cooper did not recuse himself. We lay out every connection and ask a simple question — even if the legal ruling was technically correct, how is any of this supposed to inspire confidence in the rule of law?
The Senate passed the $70 billion reconciliation package funding ICE and Customs and Border Protection through 2029 — with only one Republican voting against it. We note it was not Susan Collins, not Bill Cassidy, not Mitch McConnell. It was Lisa Murkowski. Again.
Then it's Fake News Friday — including whether California is still counting the 1966 governor's race, whether Democrats convinced a man named Dan Sullivan to run against Senator Dan Sullivan in Alaska to confuse voters, whether Democrats want to replace the words mother and father in the law with gestating parent and non-gestating parent, whether Seattle's mayor broke her own Starbucks boycott for a blueberry muffin latte, and whether Disney is making a full-length Jar Jar Binks movie.
We also cover a House bill heading to the floor that would allow service members to buy gasoline at military exchanges without paying the federal gas tax — and we ask the only question that matters. Why shouldn't they?
And we close with words of wisdom on the 82nd anniversary of D-Day — from FDR, Ronald Reagan, General Eisenhower, and Private First Class Joseph Lesniewski of Easy Company, who said simply, I don't feel like any kind of hero. To me, the work had to be done. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 4, 2026.
We open with a conversation about Congress's seemingly unlimited capacity for symbolism and its equally limited appetite for actual governance — prompted by the bill to rename the street in front of the Chinese embassy Tiananmen Square Memorial Boulevard. We love the trolling, we love the underlying principle, and we think every Chinese diplomat should have to write that address on their stationery every day. But we also note that the SAVE Act — which 70% of Americans support, including 69% of independents and nearly half of rank-and-file Democrats — is still sitting unactioned. You cannot tell us you can walk and chew gum at the same time if you're only blowing bubbles.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump announced he wants Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch to become the permanent AG — and after overseeing the indictment of James Comey and launching the National Fraud Enforcement Division, we think he's earned it. Then the federal government cut off Hawaii from Medicaid funding after decertifying its Medicaid Fraud Control Unit — a unit that received millions of dollars to fight fraud, produced zero criminal indictments between 2022 and 2025, and watched Medicaid enrollment explode by 40% in the same period. And water began flowing again into the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool — restored for an estimated $13 to $20 million, which is less than half of what the Obama administration spent on a failed repair project that left the pool just as dirty six months later.
Our American Mama Teri Netterville responds to the Black Crows concert in Florida where the lead singer told a crowd chanting USA that he didn't understand why they were cheering for this country. Thousands walked out. Teri says she would have been one of them — and explains why the cultural fatigue is real and permanent now. We talk about why woke entertainment keeps failing at the box office, why Snow White bombed, why the all-lesbian Star Trek didn't survive one season, and why Americans are done pretending they'll tolerate being told their country is awful by the people it made wealthy.
We dig into the Austin Metcalf murder trial — which CBS News and most of the media are calling the Carmelo Anthony trial, burying the name of the murdered boy seven paragraphs down. We explain why the jury ended up without any Black members — and the answer, straight from CBS News itself, is not that prosecutors were racist. It's that several prospective Black jurors admitted under oath they could not vote to convict a defendant who looked like them, or who looked like a kid, regardless of the evidence. One said he would have a hard time putting a brother in jail. We ask the question nobody wants to ask — if jurors in the other direction had said the same thing in reverse, what would happen? And we ask how many juries have had people on them who felt the same way but didn't say so out loud?
The Senate voted to strip the SAVE Act from the reconciliation package — with four Republicans joining Democrats to kill it: Murkowski, McConnell, Tillis, and Collins. We explain why each of them voted the way they did, and we note that 81% of Americans support requiring voter ID and 80% want states to purge non-citizens from voter rolls. This is not a radical idea. It is the will of the American people, and four Republican senators just overruled it.
For our Bright Spot, Senator John Fetterman — standing alone again among Senate Democrats — went on record calling out Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Plattner over the new revelations about his explicit messaging to women on a platform known for sexual predators. Fetterman said if you've already lied about the Nazi tattoo situation, there are probably a lot more ranches you haven't seen yet. We make the comparison to Alexander Hamilton's endorsement of Thomas Jefferson — I may disagree with his principles, but at least he has them.
We also cover the Israel-Lebanon-Hezbollah ceasefire framework — and explain why the big if in that deal is Hezbollah, which has never wanted peace with Israel and still doesn't.
And we close with Sterling Nassa, who was sitting in the audience at a live orchestra performance of La La Land in Sydney when the pianist came down ill at intermission. The conductor walked out and asked if anyone in the house could play. Sterling was a trained pianist and an accomplished sight reader. He walked up, sight read the second half of the concert, including a complicated piano solo, and saved the show. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 3, 2026.
We open with the numbers behind Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill that the media isn't telling you — 96% of taxpayers receiving a tax cut earned less than $200,000 a year, 70% earned less than $100,000, and households between $50,000 and $100,000 received an average reduction of over $815. We dig into what those numbers actually represent — 29 million filers claiming no tax on overtime, 7.5 million claiming no tax on tips, 35 million seniors claiming the enhanced senior deduction, 40 million families claiming the enhanced child tax credit, and 127 million taxpayers claiming the doubled standard deduction. We also explain why a tax code is more than a collection of rates — it's a statement about what a government chooses to encourage, and when you tax work and savings and punish overtime, you get less of all three.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an emergency ruling allowing Alabama to proceed with its congressional maps — overruling lower courts that had blocked the state from using the old map even after the Supreme Court itself had reversed its earlier ruling requiring minority-majority districts. Then longtime CBS News anchor Scott Pelley was fired after publicly confronting the new 60 Minutes executive producer at a staff meeting, calling him unqualified and accusing CBS News leadership of trying to kill the show — and refusing to make peace afterward. We note that anyone who refuses to acknowledge there has been a bias problem at CBS News is not capable of being part of fixing it. And Samsung announced it is moving its U.S. corporate headquarters from New Jersey to Plano, Texas — following ExxonMobil, which announced its own departure from New Jersey the week before. New Jersey has the highest corporate income tax rate in the country. Texas has zero.
We also cover Colorado Governor Jared Polis signing a law requiring college and university health centers to stock and dispense abortion-inducing drugs — meaning one of the primary services a Colorado college campus must now provide is access to pills designed to end pregnancies. We ask what would happen if that same level of energy were directed toward helping pregnant students continue their education and carry their children to term.
Our American Mama Teri Netterville joins the conversation on the California elections — where at the time of broadcast, Steve Hilton leads Xavier Becerra in the governor's race and Spencer Pratt trails Karen Bass in the Los Angeles mayor's race with about half the votes counted. We discuss why NBC was already telling viewers that mail-in ballots would push Pratt to third place before counting was even finished, why Brazil counted 124 million ballots in two hours while California is projecting 37 days for 10 million, and why the SAVE Act matters more after watching California's election unfold in real time.
We also cover Democratic Congresswoman Camlager Dove shouting at Secretary of State Marco Rubio during a congressional hearing and then walking out before he could answer — and Rubio's perfectly measured response, which sounded remarkably like a man watching his wife leave the room mid-argument. We make the point that committee hearings have stopped being about answers and started being entirely about social media soundbites.
In our Digging Deep segment, 1,100 STEM professors in California have written a letter begging the state to restore standardized testing after the University of California system dropped ACT and SAT requirements during the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020. The results are in — the number of college students whose math skills fall below high school level has increased nearly 30-fold, with 70% of those students performing below middle school level. Professors are being forced to reteach middle school algebra while simultaneously teaching college-level engineering and sciences. We explain why eliminating standards doesn't help minority students — it abandons them, and then blames the test for their unpreparedness rather than the system that failed to prepare them.
We also cover a Breitbart roundtable discussion on America's greatest strategic advantage in the AI race against China — and the surprising conclusion that it isn't technology, military power, or economic strength. It's the human soul. Communism, by suppressing religion, individuality, and free will, has weakened the very thing that separates humans from machines. The founders protected that, and it still matters.
For our Bright Spot, DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen testified that the border wall is on track for completion from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of America by this time next year — with all contracts out by end of month, a secondary wall being added in high-traffic areas, and a smart wall system that deploys drones the moment sensors detect a breach. We call it exactly what it is — a promise made, a promise being kept.
We also note that Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut is now saying that 77 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump are ignorant and uninformed. We respond briefly and move on.
And we close with Leah Wilson, who heard crows cawing around a rain gutter, called the fire department, rescued an injured crow, and held its claw on the drive to the wildlife center. The crow recovered, was banded, and released. A couple of days later, while walking her dog, a crow dove down and dropped a bundle of feathers at her feet. Now they bring her gifts every day. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 2, 2026.
We open with House Democrats promoting the Reproductive Health Care Leave Act — a bill that would require employers to provide up to 12 days of paid leave annually for menstrual and reproductive health issues. We ask the questions nobody in Washington is asking — what does this do to small businesses, what does this do to GDP, and what kind of incentive does this create for employers deciding between male and female job candidates? We also connect it to the same pattern we see in every Democrat policy proposal — from Obamacare to minimum wage mandates — where the people making the rules have no concept of how a business actually functions or how the cost gets paid. We also revisit Obamacare's core promise — bend the curve down on health care costs — and note that the average American family now pays $2,200 a month for health insurance, more than the average mortgage payment, while most Americans still can't find out what an x-ray actually costs.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump signed an executive order lowering tariffs on copper, aluminum, and steel from 25% to 15% — a move Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick requested in response to conditions affecting domestic industries. We note this kind of market-reactive decision is exactly why tariff authority may need to sit with the executive rather than the legislature. Then Mexican authorities discovered a cartel smuggling tunnel running three football fields long, 20 feet underground, equipped with lights, ventilation, and electric sliding mechanisms — running from Tijuana directly under a home and into San Diego. And Tulsi Gabbard has officially resigned as Director of National Intelligence to care for her husband as he undergoes surgery for a rare form of bone cancer — with Bill Pulte, currently head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, named as interim DNI.
Our American Mama Teri Netterville joins the conversation on the Reproductive Health Care Leave Act — and she has opinions. Teri calls it utterly ridiculous, points out that there is already sick leave for genuine medical issues, warns that if 12 paid days are mandated, every single one of them will get used regardless of medical necessity, and asks the question the Democrats haven't answered — define what a woman is before you pass a bill about women's health. We also revisit the fundamental contradiction — the same party demanding menstrual leave for women is demanding women serve in combat alongside men with no accommodation.
We cover President Trump declaring June Title IX Month — rather than Pride Month — and make the case that Title IX may be the most consequential piece of legislation for women in American history. We point to the U.S. women's soccer team, which has won more World Cups than any other nation on earth — not because American women are more interested in soccer than their male counterparts, but because Title IX forced colleges to build women's programs that no other country was building. We note the irony that Megan Rapinoe, whose career exists because of Title IX, now argues that biological males should be allowed to compete against women.
In our Digging Deep segment, South Dakota has passed a law banning the advertising of abortion pills — which are already illegal in the state — and the New York-based nonprofit Mayday Health is suing, claiming free speech protection. We dig into the constitutional question — can you advertise for something illegal? Can a state that has declared abortion to be murder allow advertising for murder? We also note that the advertising isn't passive — the web address in the ad leads directly to shipping the illegal drugs into the state. We lay out the arguments on both sides and acknowledge this is likely headed to the Supreme Court.
We also take on Steph Curry's decision to sign an athletic branding deal with a Chinese company rather than an American one — and make the case that while it's his right, symbolism matters when your entire brand is built on American fans.
For our Bright Spot, Indiana Governor Mike Braun has declared June as Nuclear Family Month — complete with a proclamation citing research that children raised by married biological parents have better physical and emotional outcomes, that when families weaken society compensates with expensive inferior substitutes like welfare systems and surrogate discipline, and that the nuclear family is the most effective means of raising capable adults. We call it exactly what it is — something any parent can explain to their children in ten seconds without any awkwardness whatsoever.
We also cover Pete Hegseth's discovery of $5.1 billion in duplicate contracts at the Department of Defense — overlapping IT systems, consulting contracts, and overpriced services — and explain why you won't hear about this in many other places — because it confirms what most Americans already suspect about how Washington spends their money.
And we close with words of wisdom about the importance of family from Thomas Jefferson, Princess Diana, Lee Iacocca, and Mother Teresa. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 1, 2026.
We open with a question that sounds simple but goes deeper than you'd expect — why do we accept visible decline? In our public spaces, in our monuments, in our cities. We connect the psychology of personal presentation to the way communities signal what they expect of themselves, explain why Washington D.C. went decades without anyone in power noticing a fountain outside Union Station hadn't worked in 17 years, and give credit where it's due — Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, who says squalor is not a destiny, it is a choice — for the restoration happening across the nation's capital right now. Even in a city where 98% voted for Kamala Harris, people are noticing the fountains are running again.
In our Top 3, New Jersey police finally broke up the well-organized, well-funded riots outside the ICE detention center in Newark after Governor Mickey Sherrill instituted a curfew — and once order was restored, ICE was able to resume visitation rights at the facility. Then the frontrunner for the Democrat Senate nomination in Maine is now facing allegations of sending sexually explicit messages to multiple women on a platform known as a predator's paradise — on top of the previously reported SS tattoo — and is still leading in the polls. And the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Texas can enforce its state-level law making illegal entry into Texas a state crime — a significant win for state sovereignty and border security.
We revisit the CDL license story — a naturalized Chinese citizen in New York who could not speak or read English was given a commercial driver's license and subsequently killed five people, four of them from the same immigrant family. We ask the hard question — when you relax your standards past the point of logic, people die. And the state of New York failed those people by treating a CDL as a checkbox rather than a safety standard.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the great group chat divide — who leaves, who stays, who creates the devastating side chat that accidentally gets sent back to the main group, and why the proper etiquette for exiting a group chat is to announce your departure before the precious baby photo drops and not the second after. We also get into the workplace group chat that becomes a clique engine, and why men with fat thumbs just don't participate.
We dig deep into a CBRE study on corporate headquarter relocations covering 2018 through 2024 — and the results could not be clearer. In 2024 alone, California lost 17 corporate headquarters, 12 of them to Texas. Texas gained nearly 50% of all interstate relocations. The number one reason companies gave — by a margin that made every other reason almost irrelevant — was business climate, meaning lower taxes, fewer regulations, and local governments that actually want you there. We connect it to the same reason individuals move from blue states to red states and tie it back to the core argument of our book Bright Spots, Big Country — economic freedom is the engine of everything.
We also dig into the Iran situation — where President Trump is continuing negotiations while maintaining military and economic pressure through the Strait of Hormuz blockade. We share our theory that the timeline for final resolution may be connected to the midterm elections, why the next military step would create a humanitarian crisis Trump is trying to avoid, and why the Democrats calling it a quagmire have it exactly backwards.
We also cover the Pennsylvania woman now on the FBI's Most Wanted list for faking a terminal cancer diagnosis to swindle friends and family out of $11,000 — and use it as an illustration of what a law and order administration looks like when it sets a tone that no fraud is too small to chase.
For our Bright Spot, Target is testing a new employee evaluation system that measures customer interaction — eye contact, greetings, offering assistance, projecting the energy of someone who is actually glad you're there. We call it common sense disguised as innovation and point out the oldest truth in business — what gets measured gets done.
We also check in on the Los Angeles mayor's race, where Spencer Pratt is not just competitive against incumbent Karen Bass — he's running what may be the most effective political advertising campaign we've seen, built entirely on common sense ideas and the willingness to acknowledge visible reality. We make the case that in 2026, voters don't care about your resume anymore. They care whether you're willing to tell the truth about what's in front of them.
And we close with Ethan Hayes, playing guitar in his backyard, and eight-year-old neighbor Madeline Glenn, who wrote a song request on a piece of paper, folded it into a paper airplane, and tossed it over the fence. Ethan played Love Story. The video went viral. Taylor Swift found out, and sent handwritten letters and signed guitars to both of them. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 29, 2026.
We open with a question millions of Americans have been asking for years: when does accountability finally arrive? As federal investigators expand major fraud cases involving government programs in Minnesota and beyond, we examine why so many voters believe there has been one standard of justice for ordinary citizens and another for politically connected insiders. From allegations of massive misuse of taxpayer funds to the broader erosion of trust in public institutions, we discuss why political embarrassment is not the same thing as accountability — and why many Americans believe real consequences matter more than press conferences and resignations.
We also cover the indictment of an Iraqi-Iranian man accused of plotting terrorist attacks against Americans, including President Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump and her family, the historic decision by ExxonMobil to officially move its corporate domicile from New Jersey to Texas after more than a century, and the latest inflation numbers as gas prices continue to drive costs higher across the country.
Later, we take a closer look at Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass's claim that the city is safer than it has been since the 1950s, why many residents appear unconvinced, and how quality-of-life concerns are increasingly shaping local politics. We also explore California Democrats' continued push for taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants and the larger debate over incentives, government spending, and immigration policy.
In our Digging Deep segment, we break down new polling on the 2028 presidential race. On the Republican side, Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio appear to be emerging as the early frontrunners. On the Democratic side, a fragmented field reveals uncertainty about the party's future, with no clear consensus candidate taking control of the race.
The American Mamas join us to answer a listener question about jealousy — how to recognize it, how to avoid it, and why genuinely celebrating the success of others may be one of the most important character traits we can teach the next generation.
Plus, we discuss why rocket failures are often signs of progress rather than defeat, revisit the lessons of American innovation and risk-taking, and wrap up with another edition of Fake News Friday featuring everything from George Floyd memorials to spelling bee champions, exploding rockets, and some headlines so outrageous they just might be true.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 28, 2026.
We open with a constitutional showdown between the Department of Justice and four sanctuary states that are refusing to provide confidential license plates to federal immigration agents. The DOJ argues these states are deliberately obstructing federal law enforcement by denying undercover protections to ICE and Border Patrol agents while continuing to provide those same protections to state and local police. We examine where the line exists between non-cooperation and outright obstruction, why the fight is about much more than license plates, and how this battle could reshape the ongoing conflict between sanctuary jurisdictions and federal immigration enforcement.
We also cover the swatting attack targeting Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, the shocking arrest of a former CIA executive accused of stealing more than $40 million from taxpayers, and a new Department of Justice investigation into E. Jean Carroll over allegations she may have provided false testimony regarding the funding of her lawsuit against President Trump.
Later, we discuss reports of a federal judge under investigation for misconduct inside her own chambers and ask what happens when the people entrusted with upholding the law become the source of the scandal themselves.
American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us for one of the most fascinating conversations we've had in a while after a man awakens from a medically induced coma convinced he lived an entirely different seven-year life complete with a wife, children, and a successful business. We explore the mysteries of the human brain, vivid dreams, coma experiences, and why some people struggle to separate imagined lives from reality.
In New York City, Mayor Zoran Mamdani is once again generating controversy after discussing plans that critics say amount to government seizure of private property from landlords deemed "bad" by city officials. We break down the constitutional questions surrounding property rights, eminent domain, and whether the proposal represents a dangerous expansion of government power.
We then dig into an unexpected critique from the left. Salon magazine argues the Democratic Party's post-election autopsy is focused on messaging failures while ignoring a deeper problem: the policies themselves. We examine why even some progressive voices are beginning to question whether Democrats' platform is increasingly disconnected from the concerns of everyday Americans.
Plus, encouraging economic data, growing business optimism despite global uncertainty, new protections for religious liberty inside the Department of Health and Human Services, controversy surrounding New York City's mayor skipping the Israel Day Parade, and a look at the new commemorative quarter honoring America's 250th anniversary.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 27, 2026.
We open with the growing controversy at Delaney Hall — the immigration detention facility in New Jersey now at the center of a political firestorm after detainees launched a hunger strike demanding better food, including culturally specific meals. We break down the difference between humane treatment and hospitality, why the left is framing detention as cruelty itself, and why Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s response — “This is not a Holiday Inn” — instantly became the defining line of the debate. We also explain the deeper issue driving the outrage: whether the left’s real objection is conditions inside detention centers or immigration enforcement itself.
In our Top 3, Texas Senator John Cornyn suffers a crushing primary defeat to Attorney General Ken Paxton after President Trump’s endorsement helped fuel another major MAGA victory — making Trump-backed candidates a staggering 119-for-119 in 2026 races. Then Maryland Governor Wes Moore signs sweeping new gun restrictions targeting Glock-style handguns, prompting an immediate constitutional challenge from the NRA. And former Attorney General Pam Bondi lands a new role inside the Trump administration’s Artificial Intelligence Advisory Panel after stepping away from the DOJ amid a thyroid cancer diagnosis.
We also dive into why patriotism itself has become controversial in modern America. Using a powerful recording of John Wayne reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, we ask how loving your country became viewed as radical by parts of the political left — and whether America’s approaching 250th birthday is exposing a deeper cultural divide over national identity, citizenship, and the meaning of the American experiment.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the bizarre world of so-called “audio drugs” — including binaural beats, music frequencies, and the growing debate over whether sound can alter mood, behavior, and even brain chemistry. That conversation expands into the influence of music on mental health, violence, spirituality, parenting, and whether some forms of entertainment can genuinely shape human behavior for good or for evil.
In our Digging Deep segment, we examine Trump’s unprecedented political dominance inside the Republican Party as his endorsed candidates continue winning at a historic pace. We debate whether Trump himself is the movement or whether his popularity is simply the result of policies conservatives believe actually work. Then we turn to Texas Democrat Senate nominee James Talarico — a progressive seminary student whose comments on abortion, gender identity, and Christianity are raising eyebrows even beyond conservative circles. We break down his claims that “God is non-binary,” why critics say he is rewriting Scripture to fit progressive ideology, and why polls suggesting he could compete statewide in Texas have Republicans alarmed.
We also cover the Trump administration’s proposal to halt international airport processing operations in sanctuary jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with ICE. We explain the constitutional logic behind the move, why cities like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco could be affected, and whether sanctuary policies can realistically coexist with federally managed international travel and customs enforcement.
For our Bright Spot, we spotlight new research showing that making children laugh may be one of the most important things parents can do for healthy brain development. Scientists say humor strengthens emotional resilience, reduces stress, and helps children better process complex information — leading to a broader conversation about joy, family connection, and why laughter may be one of the most overlooked ingredients in raising healthy kids.
We also discuss Europe’s accelerating crackdown on free speech as Germany moves toward requiring social media platforms to prioritize government-approved “reliable” media sources — raising major questions about censorship, state-controlled information, and whether the West is drifting toward managed speech systems once associated with authoritarian regimes.
And we close with an incredible story out of Kansas, where 12-year-old fossil enthusiast Corbin Bullard discovered a fully intact Tylosaurus skeleton during a 4-H field trip — including the skull and vertebrae of a massive prehistoric sea predator that once swam across ancient North America.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 26, 2026.
We open with New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani's plan to seize properties from so-called negligent landlords and transfer them to tenant or community ownership — and we explain exactly why this is not a housing policy, it's a blueprint for ending private ownership in New York City. We walk through the deliberately manufactured cycle — impose rent controls that make maintenance financially impossible, wait for the slumlords those rent controls created to fall behind on upkeep, then seize the properties they could no longer afford to maintain — and explain why this is not a bug in the socialist playbook, it is the feature.
In our Top 3, U.S. and Iran negotiations continue as American forces struck Iranian boats laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran fired missiles at U.S. ships, those missiles were shot down, and the U.S. destroyed the launchers. President Trump says progress is being made and suggests the end state should include all Arab nations joining the Abraham Accords. Then Texas voters headed to the polls for the Republican Senate runoff between incumbent John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton — with Trump backing Paxton but Paxton carrying the baggage of an impeachment, an acquittal, and his wife filing for divorce citing biblical reasons in the middle of the campaign. And a federal three-judge panel blocked Alabama from using its current congressional map — creating a collision between the 2023 Supreme Court ruling that required a minority-majority district and last month's ruling that struck down racial gerrymandering as unconstitutional.
Our American Mamas Terry Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle why there are no good teen TV shows anymore — which leads directly into a conversation about Euphoria, the Sidney Sweeney show that markets itself to teenagers while featuring content that is essentially soft-core pornography. We talk about whether Sweeney will one day regret the roles she accepted, whether the show's director is deliberately using her to make a political statement, and how decades of progressive cultural influence in Hollywood have normalized things on screen that no parent would allow in their home.
In our Digging Deep segment, we push back on the left's Memorial Day weekend obsession with George Floyd — and use the data to make the case that the income inequality, incarceration disparity, and educational gap the left attributes to institutional racism are explained far more powerfully by a single variable that has nothing to do with race. We lay out median income, two-parent household rates, high school graduation rates, and incarceration rates broken down by race — Asian, white, Hispanic, and black — and show that the rankings are identical across every single category. The highest-earning, lowest-incarcerated, highest-graduating group in America is also the group most likely to be raised in a two-parent home. We call it what the data actually shows — two-parent privilege. And we make the case that no amount of government spending or racial grievance politics will fix an outcome problem that is actually a family structure problem.
We also cover Trump's perfect annual physical exam — and note with some sadness that there are people in this country actively rooting for him to have failed it. We contrast that with how those on the right responded to Joe Biden's declining health — not with celebration, but with concern for the country.
For our Bright Spot, a Gold Star widow named Cheryl Ann Shaw posted on social media asking if anyone visiting Arlington Cemetery over Memorial Day weekend would take a fresh photo of her husband's grave — Staff Sergeant Alan W. Shaw, killed in Iraq in 2007. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard — who is stepping down from her position to care for her husband who is battling a rare form of cancer — saw the post, drove to Arlington, placed a coin on Sergeant Shaw's grave, and posted the photo herself. She didn't have to. She did anyway. Mrs. Shaw responded that seeing Gabbard standing there brought her to tears — and thanked her for saying his name and reminding her there are still people in this country who have not forgotten the cost of freedom.
We also note that even after losing their entire military infrastructure, Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khomeini is still posting death to America and death to Israel on social media. And we close with off-duty FDNY firefighter Travis Langan, who saw a woman trapped in a flooding Tesla on Jackie Robinson Parkway during flash floods in New York City, jumped on the roof, and pounded through the sunroof with his bare hands until he could pull her out. She said God sent her an angel. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 22, 2026.
We open with the Supreme Court's pending decision on birthright citizenship — one of the most consequential immigration rulings in American history. We break down the actual constitutional debate over the 14th Amendment's phrase subject to the jurisdiction thereof, what the founders who wrote and debated the amendment said it meant at the time, why the logical interpretation is that children of people who entered the country illegally were never intended to receive automatic citizenship, and why President Trump's comment that the court will probably rule against him may be more strategic than frustrated — a piece of reverse psychology designed to force the justices to rule on the law rather than their feelings about Trump.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the Democrat National Committee released its 192-page post-mortem on the 2024 election — complete with a disclaimer that it doesn't necessarily represent the views of the DNC itself. The report blames Kamala Harris for not changing her position on transgender issues, says Democrats didn't run enough negative ads against Trump, and admits the party took Latino voters for granted — but doesn't say a single word about Biden's mental decline or the decision to install Harris as nominee without a single primary vote. Then the DOJ indicted 15 people in Minnesota for $90 million in Medicaid fraud — the largest Medicaid fraud case in Minnesota history and the largest autism fraud case in American history — while Tim Walz was governor. And the Department of Homeland Security announced that more than 3 million illegal aliens have either been deported or voluntarily self-deported since President Trump took office — with self-deportation costing the government over $10,000 less per case than forced removal, and an app available for anyone who wants to take advantage of the $2,600 voluntary departure payment while preserving their right to return legally.
We also discuss the broader immigration picture in France, where a major new study shows that roughly one third of France's population is either foreign-born or the child or grandchild of immigrants — and what happens when mass immigration is welcomed without any expectation of cultural assimilation. We connect it directly to the debate happening in America and explain why saying American culture is worth preserving is not racism. It's patriotism.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a deeply relatable topic — growing up with spoiled cousins, and the particular heartbreak of watching a child feel less valued than their cousins by the same grandparents. We get into the nine-year-old boy who told his mother through tears that he was really trying to be grateful, the grandmother who took one grandchild on a New York trip and forgot she had other grandchildren, and why the awareness to keep things equitable across cousins is one of the most underappreciated gifts a grandparent can give.
We sit down in studio with Dan Clark, regional director for Bill Glass Behind the Walls Ministry — a national and international prison ministry founded by former Cleveland Browns defensive end Bill Glass, a close friend of Billy Graham, who walked onto a prison yard decades ago and never stopped going back. We talk about fatherlessness as the pipeline to incarceration, why people of faith have a measurably lower recidivism rate than those without, what it looks like to go behind the walls of a supermax facility and share the gospel, and why the men on that prison yard self-police themselves on event days because they know the ministry won't come back if something goes wrong. If you want to get involved or volunteer, visit BehindTheWalls.com.
Then it's Fake News Friday — real news, fake news, or really fake news — including whether Chevron gas stations in California put up signs blaming Sacramento politicians for high gas prices, a fleet of driverless Waymo vehicles getting stuck doing laps around an Atlanta cul-de-sac, a car dealership in Kansas that can't sell a truck because a robin built a legally protected nest on the tire, a Democrat running for Congress in Texas proposing concentration camps for American Zionists, a Democrat from Pennsylvania proposing mandatory vasectomies after a man's third child, and whether California's Medicaid program reimburses providers for exorcisms. We work through all of it — some will surprise you.
And we close with a Memorial Day reflection — because honoring those who gave their lives for this country should not happen once a year. When you truly understand what someone sacrificed to give you something precious, you protect it every day. Bob Dylan, Norman Schwarzkopf, James Garfield, and George Patton each had something to say about that. So do we. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 21, 2026.
We open with JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon's message to New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani — you can be an ideologue all you want, but at some point you have to compete, you have to produce, and you have to deliver results. We use that framework to explain exactly why democratic socialism fails every single time it is tried, why the mayor of Seattle just apologized to Starbucks after threatening to drive them out of the city, why Delaware is hemorrhaging corporate headquarters to Texas and Tennessee, and why the people left behind when productive citizens and businesses vote with their feet are always the ones who can least afford to be abandoned.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, former Cuban dictator Raul Castro has been indicted in a U.S. federal court for murder and the destruction of two private planes belonging to Cuban exile group Brothers to the Rescue, shot down over international airspace in 1996. Then Louisiana became only the second state in the country to receive the Department of Education's Returning Education to the States waiver — freeing up $18 million in federal education dollars for direct classroom use over four years, with Secretary Linda McMahon saying Louisianians know best how to serve their students, not bureaucrats in Washington. And a Canadian man living in Massachusetts has been charged with illegal voting after admitting he has voted in U.S. elections since 2008 — meaning he voted illegally in five presidential elections, including the most secure election in American history.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle whether girls are meaner to their moms than their dads — and land somewhere warm and true. We talk about the prom moment where a daughter snaps at her mother and then asks her father for a picture, the four-page love letter that same daughter wrote her mom on Mother's Day, why moms are the soft place to land which means they also absorb the worst of the shrapnel, and why one mama's daughter-in-law used to cry watching friends be rude to their mothers — because she would have given anything to have one.
We dig into the Texas case of a man who ordered abortion pills online, crushed them, and mixed them into a pregnant woman's drink without her knowledge — killing her unborn child and now facing murder charges. We explain exactly why this case is the inevitable consequence of the FDA's 2023 decision to allow mifepristone to be dispensed by mail without a doctor ever seeing the patient, why this specific scenario is impossible when the drug must be administered in person by a physician, and why the FDA needs to reverse its decision immediately.
In our Digging Deep segment, a former managing assistant U.S. Attorney named Carmen Lineberger — who worked on Jack Smith's investigation into Donald Trump's handling of documents at Mar-a-Lago — has been indicted for stealing sealed documents from that very investigation and emailing them to herself disguised as a cookie recipe and a Bundt cake recipe. We explain what makes this story so extraordinarily revealing — a member of the team that prosecuted a president for allegedly mishandling documents allegedly stole documents herself, renamed them dessert recipes, and sent them to her personal email. We also connect her history of pro-DEI advocacy and racial justice work at the DOJ, and make the case that this is not irony — it's the deep state in action.
We also cover the FBI dismantling a major Indian call center fraud scheme that stole nearly $1 million from American senior citizens — and call it exactly what it is: putting Americans first doesn't just mean border walls, it means protecting the most vulnerable of our people from predators anywhere in the world.
For our Bright Spot, the state of Washington settled a lawsuit brought by foster parents Shane and Jennifer DeGross — represented by Alliance Defending Freedom — after the state denied their foster license renewal because they wouldn't affirm that children can change their biological sex. The settlement requires Washington to revise its licensing policies to respect religious families' deeply held convictions and prohibits the state from attaching conditions to a foster license based solely on religious beliefs about marriage, gender, or sexual relationships. The state also paid $250,000 in attorney's fees. We ask the question nobody at the state agency apparently asked — what is best for the children?
We also cover Congresswoman Nancy Mace's proposal to ban naturalized citizens from serving in Congress — and while we understand the frustration that motivated it, we call it what it is — a law of unintended consequences that would tell millions of legal immigrants who became Americans the right way that they can never fully participate in self-government. We draw the line at dual citizenship, not at the immigrant.
And we close with Lexi McClellan — a second grade teacher who took a special interest in a seven-year-old foster child named Mary, watched an adoption fall through, stepped forward with her husband to become Mary's foster parents, and filed adoption papers within months. Lexi said it felt like God had led it, like she was meant to be in her life. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 20, 2026.
We open with what may be the most consequential immigration enforcement move in American history — and it has nothing to do with border walls or patrol agents. President Trump signed a new executive order directing the Treasury Department to scrutinize all financial activity tied to illegal immigration — targeting payroll tax evasion, hidden bank accounts, labor trafficking networks, underground cash economies, and the remittance systems that funnel billions of American dollars back to Mexico and other countries. We explain why going after the money is more powerful than any physical barrier, why Willie Sutton's famous explanation for robbing banks applies perfectly to why illegal immigration exploded, and why choking the financial infrastructure of the entire illegal immigration machine may be Trump's most consequential domestic policy move of either term.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Thomas Massey lost his Kentucky congressional primary to former Navy SEAL Ed Gowran — in the most expensive House primary in American history at $25.6 million — after Trump endorsed Gowran and a district that voted for Trump by 85% finally ran out of patience with a congressman who spent his career blocking the agenda they elected him to advance. We note that Massey primaried himself out. Then Trump endorsed Texas AG Ken Paxton over incumbent Senator John Cornyn in a Senate runoff — and we raise the concern that while Paxton may win the primary, he may be a harder sell in the general against Democrat James Tallarico. And Alabama's gubernatorial race will be a Tuberville-Doug Jones rematch — and we think Tuberville wins easily as Kay Ivey is term limited out.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the question of whether women have forgotten how to age gracefully in America — from Demi Moore's skin-and-bones appearance at the Met Gala to Madonna's increasingly alarming transformations, from Lori Loughlin's well-done facelift to Helen Mirren as the gold standard of graceful aging. We also get into the GLP-1 revolution, the body positivity pendulum that swung hard in the other direction, and whether there is still room in American culture for a woman to be beautiful, powerful, and visibly her age at the same time.
We play the Hakeem Jeffries clip from the Center for American Progress that should alarm every American regardless of party — the House Minority Leader saying out loud that the goal of House Democrats is not to persuade MAGA voters but to break them and break their spirit. We explain why that language is not just offensive but genuinely dangerous — because when the goal of politics shifts from persuasion to breaking half of your fellow citizens, you have crossed into territory that leads somewhere nobody should want to go.
In our Digging Deep segment, the NAACP has launched a website called Out of Bounds urging black high school athletes to boycott colleges in the South — Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Clemson, Tennessee, Texas, and Texas A&M — because those states are redrawing congressional districts without race as a primary factor following the Supreme Court's ruling. We call it what it is — the NAACP demanding that 17-year-old black athletes from struggling families sacrifice life-changing scholarships for the Democrat Party's political agenda. No one's right to vote has been suppressed. Every vote still counts exactly one. The Supreme Court said you cannot draw districts based on race — and that is equal protection, not suppression.
We also cover California's bizarre new rule allowing a biological female who finishes behind a transgender athlete to share the podium spot with the winner — which we describe as a participation trophy that accidentally acknowledges the injustice without having the courage to fix it. And the mother of the transgender athlete who won the race is upset about the rule. We note that the girl is the problem, apparently.
For our Bright Spot, J.D. Vance filled in at the White House press briefing after the mosque attack in San Diego and was asked about religious violence in America. We play his answer in full — because it is one of the most theologically and constitutionally precise defenses of religious liberty we have heard from any public official in years. The right to find God through your own free will is the first right in the Constitution because you cannot force anyone to it. Violence against religious freedom is a violation of the laws of God, not just the laws of man. We call it a bright spot and mean it.
And we close with 10-year-old Ernesto Hernandez — who wanted a 3D printer, whose mom told him to save up and buy it himself, who did chores until he had $500, bought the printer, started making keychains and fidget spinners, now runs three printers full time, is selling in local stores, and says he wants to invest in a house for his mom and him when he grows up. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 19, 2026.
We open with the Iran situation from every angle — President Trump paused another planned strike at the request of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE while negotiations continue, but Iran's latest peace proposal still doesn't address the one non-negotiable point: they will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. We dig into whether this pause is genuine diplomacy or strategic deception, why Trump's unpredictability is itself a form of deterrence, why Iran is almost certainly using the ceasefire to dig out its buried missile infrastructure — essentially handing the U.S. a fresh target list — and whether the Iranian people have any realistic chance of overthrowing a regime that will shoot into a crowd to disperse it.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Trump paused a second planned attack on Iran at the request of multiple Middle Eastern heads of state while negotiations continue. Then in Los Angeles, 64-year-old Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong agreed to plead guilty to paying homeless people to register to vote at her personal address — meaning she collected their ballots and could vote them however she chose. We explain why this has nothing to do with whether homeless people can vote and everything to do with fraud. And President Trump dropped his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS in exchange for a $1.7 billion anti-weaponization fund to reimburse people prosecuted for political reasons during the Biden administration — including January 6th defendants.
We play a clip that the White House itself shared this week — a black woman in Cook County, Illinois at a voter board meeting who tells the panel directly that voting is not in danger, that she has voted since she was 18 without a single problem, that her parents could say the same, her grandparents could say the same, and that the constant narrative about suppressed black voters is being used to manipulate the Voting Rights Act when everyone in the room knows it isn't true. We call it one of the most clarifying moments in the entire voter ID debate.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to the Unite the Kingdom March in Great Britain — described as one of the largest peacetime demonstrations in British history, with over 2 million people taking to the streets to say they want their culture, their heritage, and their country back. Prime Minister Keir Starmer branded it a march of thugs, hooligans, and far-right racists. Reporters who showed up found grandparents walking dogs. We talk about what it means when a government criminalizes its own citizens for reposting patriotic content online, why Britain's Conservative Party collapsed and gave way to the new Reform UK movement, and why this is a roadmap — not a foreign curiosity — for what can happen here.
We also cover James Comey lecturing Acting AG Todd Blanche about compromising institutional integrity for suggesting there is evidence worth investigating about the 2020 election. We ask the obvious question — where was Comey's institutional integrity when he lied to the FISA court, changed the legal standard for Hillary Clinton in the middle of a press conference, and leaked classified memos to the media?
In our Digging Deep segment, we take a hard look at what Lee Zeldin is doing at the EPA — and make the case that it is not only justified but overdue. The EPA was created to solve real problems — air pollution, water pollution, toxic waste — and it largely did. But then it forgot its aim and became fanatical, redoubling its efforts long after the problems were solved. We walk through the Integrated Risk Information System that set formaldehyde standards lower than what the human body naturally exhales, and explain the critical difference between hazard and risk that the EPA abandoned somewhere along the way.
For our Bright Spot, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton secured a landmark $10 million settlement with Texas Children's Hospital — which was illegally performing gender transition procedures on minors and billing Medicaid with false diagnosis codes. The settlement does more than extract a fine. It requires Texas Children's to create the first-ever detransition clinic in the United States — a multidisciplinary medical center designed to help patients reverse as much damage as possible from ideologically motivated procedures they received as children. We talk about what detransition actually looks like, why this clinic will likely become a national destination, and why it took this long.
We also cover Kimberly Guilfoyle's enthusiastic promotion of the most technologically advanced McDonald's in Europe opening in Athens — and the Greek internet's very Greek response.
And we close with Trinka and Mark Henderson of Gilbert Christian School in Arizona — 40 years and 18 years of teaching respectively, a combined 58 years in education, who walked into what they thought was a staff meeting and found their own retirement party. Trinka said she's had kids of kids. Mark said he'll probably be back as a substitute. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 18, 2026.
From graduation ceremonies for illegal immigrants to a tied mayoral race in Louisiana, this episode of American Ground Radio covers the stories that mainstream media won't tell you straight.
California State University is holding separate, private graduation ceremonies for undocumented students — and we are asking the hard questions: Who's paying for it, what does it say about the rule of law, and is this just the latest step in universities segregating ceremonies by identity politics?
In the news: Thousands gather in Washington D.C. for the Rededicate 250 rally, calling America back to faith. Long Island Railroad workers strike for the first time in 32 years — despite averaging $136,000 a year. And Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy goes down in flames in the Republican primary, finishing a distant third after his vote to convict President Trump in the 2020 impeachment trial. American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react.
Going deep: Is America's homeownership crisis actually a marriage crisis? New data from the Center for Christian Virtue reveals a stunning connection between declining marriage rates and plummeting homeownership — and the numbers will surprise you.
Plus: Luigi Mangione's fan club shows up outside a Manhattan courthouse, and we ask what it says about a culture that glamorizes alleged murderers. The RNC launches 130 lawsuits across 32 states to protect election integrity. A Democrat Colorado governor grants clemency to Republican election official Tina Peters in a rare act of bipartisan fairness. A study finds 40% of young Europeans believe their faith overrides local law. And a Louisiana town's mayoral race ends in a 374-374 tie.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 15, 2026.
Is the Left trying to rewrite the rules of American democracy? Today we dive into the stories and debates that every patriotic American needs to hear.
Kamala Harris made headlines after her "no bad ideas" brainstorming webinar revealed a sweeping agenda to restructure America's constitutional foundations — abolishing the Electoral College, packing the Supreme Court, creating multi-member congressional districts, and granting statehood to D.C. and Puerto Rico. We break down why these aren't just bad ideas — they're not even new ones, and what they really signal about the modern Democratic Party's relationship with the Constitution.
In the news: CIA Director John Ratcliffe's surprise trip to Cuba, Congressman Steve Cohen's retirement amid Tennessee redistricting, and Harvey Weinstein's third trial ends in yet another hung jury.
American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burelson weigh in on a viral parenting video where a mom destroys her son's PS5 after he harmed the family cat — and whether tough love is enough when child behavior signals something deeper.
Going deep on the FDA's abortion pill review: why the new acting commissioner is promising pro-life leaders action, what Louisiana's lawsuit reveals about states' rights versus federal agency overreach, and why the Dobbs decision hasn't delivered what many pro-lifers expected.
Plus: Jeanine Pirro seeks the death penalty in the anti-Semitic murders of two Israeli embassy staffers, a discussion on the Trump-Xi summit and what makes China a different adversary than Iran, teens ditching smartphones for dumb phones, and a lively round of Real News / Fake News.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 14, 2026.
We open with a statement from the NAACP Charlotte Mecklenburg branch that we believe represents peak racial politics in modern America — declaring it is, quote, seriously disturbing for white folks to be lobbying to be the interim mayor of Charlotte because the outgoing mayor is a black woman. We play it straight. We ask the question nobody wants to ask out loud — if a major civic organization had said it was disturbing for black candidates to seek a position because the outgoing officeholder was white, what would happen? We both know the answer. We also point out the obvious irony of an organization called the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People lecturing anyone else about racist language. And we make the foundational argument — the moment politics stops asking who is best for the job and starts asking what color of skin should hold this seat, you are no longer operating inside the framework of equal citizenship. You are inside racial factionalism. And that is incompatible with the Declaration of Independence.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Louisiana Senator John Kennedy pushed through a rule change on a voice vote that will withhold senators' salaries the next time there is a government shutdown — a measure he first proposed during the last Democrat-caused DHS shutdown and couldn't get passed. It goes into effect after this fall's elections. Then Georgia Governor Brian Kemp called a special session to redraw the state's congressional districts — potentially adding two Republican seats — though the new maps won't take effect until 2028. And two sitting members of Congress have been missing from Washington for over a month with no explanation — Democrat Frederica Wilson of South Florida, whose staff has been recycling old photos on social media as if they were recent, and Republican Thomas Kean Jr. of New Jersey, who finally responded to Speaker Johnson's outreach by saying he was experiencing health difficulties.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a deeply personal question — when was the last time you felt euphoric? Kimberly shares the moment she was driving home from the grocery store with all her kids home and was hit by sudden joy — followed immediately by the crushing realization it was the first time she had felt that way since her mother died. Teri talks about her son getting a full ride to SMU Law School and her daughter announcing a pregnancy. And Stephen admits he can't remember the last time he felt euphoric — and explains why that's actually okay.
We dig into the Supreme Court's ruling allowing mail-order chemical abortions to continue while legal challenges proceed — and make the medical case that no responsible physician should be prescribing mifepristone without seeing the patient in person. We explain the ectopic pregnancy danger in detail — how telemedicine cannot diagnose it, how the abortion pill will not resolve it, how it can cause organ rupture and sepsis, and how a young woman alone in her apartment experiencing severe complications cannot solve those problems with a Zoom call.
In our Digging Deep segment, we follow two parallel fraud stories that together tell the same national story. In Minnesota, House Republicans released a report showing the Walz administration was aware of massive Medicaid fraud as early as 2019 and not only failed to act but created a culture that allowed the fraud to explode. In Florida, the founder of Health Splash was convicted for a $1 billion Medicare fraud conspiracy involving medically unnecessary orthotic braces. And in both Minnesota and California, Dr. Oz cut off 800 providers suspected of fraud — and fewer than 20 of them called to contest it. That means at least 780 were outright fraudsters. We also cover the Trump administration withholding $1.3 billion in Medicaid payments to California for failing to address the problem.
We also cover the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division investigation into Yale Medical School — where black and Hispanic applicants allegedly received significantly better odds of admission than white and Asian applicants with identical academic credentials. We make the case that medicine should be the most merit-driven profession on earth, and that public suspicion about whether doctors are chosen for competence or for racial checkboxes harms everyone — including the patients they treat.
For our Bright Spot, independent journalist Alex Berenson — formerly of the New York Times, banned from Twitter in 2021 at the direct pressure of the Biden administration for saying the mRNA vaccine doesn't stop infection or transmission — has won his First Amendment lawsuit and received a formal written admission from the United States government that it did in fact violate his constitutional rights by coercing social media companies to suppress his speech. He also received $150,000. We note that Pfizer executives were directly involved in pressuring the administration to silence him. And we share that AGR itself was shadow-banned and nearly removed from YouTube for saying the same things Berenson was banned for saying.
And we close with Dawn Kraft who enrolled in medical school after her husband Carl survived a brain hemorrhage and they both started working on their bucket lists. This spring, Dawn graduated from St. James School of Medicine at the age of 72, becoming the oldest graduate in the school's history. She took out no loans. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 13, 2026.
We open with the China story that keeps getting bigger — the day after we covered the Arcadia, California mayor who pleaded guilty to acting as a Chinese Communist Party agent, a man named Lou John Wang was convicted in New York City for operating a secret Chinese police station — kidnapping dissidents, pressuring critics of the CCP, and running what amounts to a foreign government's law enforcement operation on American soil. We connect it to Trump and Rubio's diplomatic trip to Beijing, explain what China's secret police stations actually do, and make the case that China's infiltration of American life — through supply chains, universities, real estate near military bases, and now city halls and police stations — is unlike anything any hostile nation has ever accomplished inside our borders. We ask the question every American should be asking — how much access has the Chinese Communist Party already built while we were telling ourselves economics and national security were separate conversations?
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump landed in Beijing with a delegation that included Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg, and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Wang — arriving to a red carpet welcome and plans to push for Chinese market access for U.S. businesses. Then the U.S. Senate confirmed Kevin Warsh as the next chair of the Federal Reserve on a 54-45 vote — with Democrat John Fetterman the only crossover — signaling future interest rate cuts that sent equity markets surging. And Salem Communications — home to Hugh Hewitt, Joe Piscopo, Charlie Kirk, Mike Gallagher, and American Ground Radio partnerships in New York, D.C., and the Salem Podcast Network — has been acquired by Waterstone in a deal CEO David Santrella says will accelerate the company's faith-forward mission for years to come.
Our American Mama Teri Netterville joins us to talk about country singer Eric Church's commencement speech at North Carolina — which she calls the single greatest commencement speech she has ever heard. Using the six strings of a guitar as his framework, Church walked graduates through faith as the foundational low E string, family as the A string, their life partner as the D string at the heart of the instrument, ambition and resilience on the G string, community on the B string — where he urged graduates to put down roots, volunteer, and build the thing their community needs even if the internet never sees it — and individual greatness on the high E string, the thinnest string most easily bent by outside pressure. We walk through every string and explain why this speech deserves to be heard by every graduating class in America.
We dig deep into a new Harvard, Stanford, and Dartmouth report called From Learning Recession to Learning Recovery — which identifies a nationwide decline in student achievement in math and reading that began in 2013 and was just as severe before the pandemic as during it. The researchers blame social media. We disagree. We connect the timeline directly to Common Core — the untested, nationally imposed educational standards pushed by the Gates Foundation and adopted by 46 states by 2013 — that confused children, baffled parents who could no longer help with math homework, and produced exactly the results you'd expect from conducting a nationwide experiment on children with no prior testing. And we note that Louisiana — which abandoned Common Core's methodology and adopted the Science of Reading — now leads the nation in educational improvement.
We also cover the DOJ's settlement with PayPal over their $530 million Economic Opportunity Fund — a 2020 program that tied eligibility explicitly to race and national origin in violation of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. We make the case that you cannot achieve fairness by creating an unfair system, and that civil rights laws were designed to stop discrimination — not rebrand it.
We also dig into Senator Tommy Tuberville's proposal to establish English as the official language of American schools — and make the case that a shared language is not about race, it's about unity, assimilation, and the Tower of Babel.
For our Bright Spot, a Marine veteran with a concealed carry permit in Massachusetts was already going car to car helping people escape and exchanging fire with an active shooter on Memorial Drive in Cambridge before police arrived. The shooter — who had previously been given half the recommended prison sentence for shooting at cops in 2020 — was stopped before anyone was killed. Nobody's covering this story. We are.
We also note that Rudy Giuliani has recovered from pneumonia, left the hospital after being on a ventilator and in the ICU, and remind listeners that God is not finished with us until He says so.
And we close with Logan, Cody, and Brody — three high schoolers in Cooper City, Florida who pulled over to help a man they thought had a flat tire and discovered he was having a heart attack. They called 911. Emergency crews arrived. Diego survived. His son said, God didn't send angels with wings. He sent those boys. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 12, 2026.
We open with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez comparing ICE to Jim Crow — and we take it apart piece by piece. We play the clip, explain why this comparison isn't just historically wrong but actively dangerous, and make the case that when you tell people they are witnessing a rebirth of racial oppression rather than the enforcement of democratically enacted law, you are not making a policy argument anymore — you are issuing marching orders to people on the edge. We also point out the obvious — the party that wrote, enforced, and defended Jim Crow was the Democrat Party. AOC's party. And if she actually disagrees with how ICE operates, she has the power to change the law. She's in Congress. That's literally her job.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the DOJ has announced criminal charges against two Singapore and India-based shipping companies and their technical superintendent for the 2024 collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore — six construction workers killed, $5 billion in economic damage, and pollutants released into the Chesapeake Bay. Then inflation jumped to 3.8% in April — the highest level in three years — driven primarily by energy costs related to the Iran conflict and the bottleneck at the Strait of Hormuz, with prices now rising faster than wages for the first time since Biden was president. And the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has blocked the federal government from continuing to collect President Trump's 10% global tariffs — with the underlying authority set to expire in July unless Congress acts. We think those tariffs are doomed and that Congress should fix it.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson weigh in on the growing trend of no-phone parties on college campuses — events where phones get locked away and people actually talk to each other. We get into why this trend is catching on, why Chick-fil-A is now offering phone-free booths with free ice cream as an incentive for families who make it through a full meal without touching their devices, why phones have become security blankets as much as communication tools, and why one mama's husband's week-long phone detox challenge may be the most ambitious thing happening in American households right now.
We dig into a Democrat Senate candidate in Michigan — Abdul El-Saeed — who has spent his entire campaign presenting himself as a physician. His LinkedIn says physician. His campaign literature says physician. His website says physician. Michigan and New York have no record of ever granting him a medical license. We ask the simple question — if you've been practicing medicine your entire career without a license, what do you call that?
In our Digging Deep segment, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a first-in-the-nation program called Golden State Start — 400 free diapers for every newborn in California, administered through an NGO called Baby to Baby. The state has budgeted $20 million for the program. Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton went to Target and discovered you can buy diapers for 16 cents each. The state is paying 50 cents each — more than three times the retail price. We follow the money and find that Baby to Baby is co-led by a woman who sits on the board of Gavin Newsom's wife's nonprofit, that its board includes Kim Kardashian, Jessica Alba, and other Hollywood mega-donors, and that the organization funnels money back to Democrat candidates. Newsom's free diapers aren't about babies. They're about political payback with your tax dollars.
We also cover the mayor of Arcadia, California — Democrat Eileen Wang — who has resigned and agreed to plead guilty after being charged with acting as a foreign agent for communist China. A sitting American mayor, taking directives from the People's Republic of China and posting propaganda designed to influence American public opinion. We connect it to the broader pattern of Chinese infiltration into American politics and ask why it keeps happening in the same party.
We also cover Representative Darrell Issa's resolution to expunge both of Donald Trump's impeachments from the historical record — laying out the evidence that the 2019 impeachment was built on fabricated testimony from a biased whistleblower with no firsthand knowledge, and that the 2021 impeachment violated the Constitution in multiple procedural ways including the Chief Justice refusing to preside. Both should be expunged. We note that most of the seven Republican senators who voted to convict are already out of Congress — and we mention one who is not.
And we close with President Trump calling out a reporter on the White House lawn who accused his ballroom of doubling in cost without apparently knowing he had doubled the size. We give him full credit for the content of the correction — and only minor points off for the delivery. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 8, 2026.
We open with a story that cuts to the heart of public trust in American institutions — a Utah Supreme Court justice has resigned after it was revealed she was romantically involved with a leftist redistricting attorney whose litigation she ruled on, helping Democrats gain a congressional seat in deep red Utah. We ask the question every American should be asking — is anything sacred anymore? We talk about why courts derive their entire authority from public trust and nothing else, why the founders understood this better than modern elites do, and why if a conservative judge had done the same thing in a case benefiting Republicans, the national media would have run wall-to-wall coverage for weeks. How many times had you heard this story before today? That's the answer.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the Virginia State Supreme Court struck down the Democrat redistricting plan that would have flipped the state's congressional delegation from a 6-5 Democrat advantage to a 10-1 advantage — ruling the legislature didn't follow the state constitution's requirement of two separate legislative sessions with an election in between before putting constitutional changes to voters. The whole measure is null and void. Then the U.S. economy added 115,000 jobs in April — nearly double what economists expected — with March numbers revised upward by 10,000, and first-time unemployment claims remaining at historic lows. And in Britain, Keir Starmer's Labour Party lost more than 1,000 seats in local elections across England, Scotland, and Wales while the new Reform UK party picked up more than 1,500 seats — one of the largest losses by a ruling party in British electoral history.
We dig into Senator John Fetterman's Washington Post op-ed titled "I Haven't Changed. Here's What Has" — and we give him credit for saying things no other Democrat in Washington will say out loud. Fetterman says his party cannot simply be the opposite of whatever Donald Trump says. He says Democrats used to want a secure border. They used to believe shutting the government down was wrong. They used to support Israel. He's right on all three. We also note that Fetterman would make a terrible Republican — he's still pro-choice, pro-weed, pro-LGBT, and pro-SNAP — but we make the case that the party Fetterman signed up for no longer exists, and that there is currently no political party in America for people who are pro-abortion and pro-Israel, or pro-social spending and pro-law and order. That used to be the Democrat Party. It isn't anymore.
We also weigh in on the decision to allow cameras in the courtroom for the trial of the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk — debating whether transparency and public accountability outweigh the risk of turning a murder trial into a TikTok content machine, and why the O.J. Simpson trial is still the cautionary tale that haunts every conversation about cameras in high-profile courtrooms.
Then it's Fake News Friday — real news, fake news, or really fake news — including whether Republicans are stealing a Black Democrat's seat in Tennessee (they're not — it's Stephen Cohen, who is white), a publicly funded water park in Plano, Texas holding a Muslim-only day, a South Carolina judge ruling that a convicted murderer can't be executed because he believes he's a god, Washington state making it illegal for daycare workers to peel a banana without a food prep license, Barack Obama blaming Donald Trump for his marital problems with Michelle, and more.
We also cover the Pentagon's first release of UFO files at President Trump's direction — and settle the question of whether this is a distraction from Iran. It's not. Donald Trump can walk and chew gum at the same time.
And we close with a comprehensive look at the redistricting scoreboard heading into the midterms — Republicans picking up seats in Texas, Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, Missouri, Ohio, Louisiana, Mississippi, and more, while Virginia's 10-to-1 gerrymander got thrown out. The most likely net outcome, according to the compilation of pundits, is Republicans gaining 11 seats in the House. That's a historic reversal of the typical midterm pattern — and it could change everything.
For our Bright Spot, 17-year-old Avant Williams took his grandmother Svala to prom — because she grew up in Iceland watching American movies about prom her whole life and always dreamed of going. He wore a tux. She wore a fancy dress. They went to dinner and took pictures. He said, I've only been looking forward to this moment since I was about two years old. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 7, 2026.
We open with the Tennessee redistricting spectacle — Republican lawmakers passed new congressional maps designed to create a 9-0 Republican advantage in the state's U.S. House delegation, and Democrats responded by standing on desks, blowing air horns, unfurling banners reading No Jim Crow 2.0, and getting escorted out of the building by state police. We call it what it is — not courage, not resistance, but buffoonery — and explain why the modern left has developed a habit of treating every democratic outcome they dislike as a moral emergency requiring theatrical protest rather than an actual argument. We also make the point that redistricting fights are ugly and both parties do it, but only one party responds to losing a vote by having members physically removed from the chamber.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Tennessee officially adopted its new congressional maps on party line votes — expected to flip Memphis from Democrat to Republican. Then a federal judge ruled the FBI can keep the ballots and evidence seized from Fulton County, Georgia related to the 2020 election — rejecting the county's argument that the FBI had no business looking — while noting the bureau has identified irregularities but hasn't yet determined whether they were human error or intentional. And in the Los Angeles mayoral debate, Republican Spencer Pratt — whose home was destroyed in the Palisades fire — was declared the winner by 89% of viewers in an NBC post-debate poll, with 23% saying the debate changed their minds about who they're voting for. We ask how anyone is still considering voting for Karen Bass.
We also play a Harry Enten clip from CNN — not Fox News, CNN — where the network's own senior data reporter dismantles the narrative that Trump is losing Republican support. Enten points out that Trump's approval among Republicans right now is 84%, nearly identical to his 85% approval at the same point in the 2018 midterm cycle. MAGA is not dead. The media just wants you to think it is. We note, however, that Republicans still lost the House in 2018 despite 85% Republican approval — so high base support doesn't automatically translate to midterm wins.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the question of why American cities aren't as beautiful as they used to be — and why you see people traveling to Europe for the architecture that America stopped building generations ago. We talk about the difference between buildings designed to last forever and boxes designed to last 30 years, why Fort Worth went from a city nobody visited to a booming destination because one family decided to pour private money into it, why the left's instinct to tax the wealthy destroys the very engine that beautifies cities, and why good leadership and private investment — not government programs — are what make cities worth living in.
In our Digging Deep segment, we spotted a pattern across three news stories from three different Democrat-run states. In Boston, 26% of young adults aged 20 to 30 say they could leave within five years — with 46% of those drawn to red states in the South and Southwest. In Washington State, 24% of businesses are considering moving out of state, with 72% citing the overall tax burden as their top challenge. And in Chicago, violent retail crime is up 7% — with one in eight retail crimes now involving a weapon or physical threat. We connect all three stories to the same root cause — when the people you elect don't understand the purpose of government, you end up with high taxes, high costs of living, and high crime, every single time. And the people who suffer most are the poor and elderly who can't afford to leave.
We also cover the federal government's lawsuit against the New York Times — filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on behalf of an anonymous white male employee who says the Times has been systematically discriminating in hiring and promotions based on race and sex since at least 2017. The evidence? The Times's own annual Diversity and Inclusion Reports, which the complaint says brag about giving preferential treatment to people of color and women. We make the simple point — if you are giving preferential treatment to people of one skin color, you are by definition discriminating against people of another skin color. That is racism. And the federal government is finally saying so.
We also cover Secretary of State Marco Rubio's meeting with the Pope at the Vatican — reportedly to smooth over relations between the Holy See and President Trump, as well as to discuss the persecution of Christians in Africa. We briefly explore whether married men can become Catholic priests, which leads us somewhere we probably didn't need to go. Father Rubio has declined to comment.
And we close with a milestone — Justice Clarence Thomas has officially become the second longest-serving justice in the history of the United States Supreme Court, surpassing John Paul Stevens, and is now just two years away from passing William Douglas to become the longest-serving justice in American history. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 6, 2026.
We open with a story that perfectly illustrates the logical endpoint of socialist thinking in American cities — a Chicago alderman is calling for criminal charges against Walgreens for closing a store in a high-crime neighborhood. The charge? First degree corporate abandonment. We walk through why this is economically illiterate, morally backwards, and philosophically revealing — because when you criminalize a business for leaving a neighborhood your own policies made unlivable, you have officially crossed from governance into something else entirely. We trace the same pattern from San Francisco to Seattle to Portland, explain why crime causes poverty and not the other way around, and ask the most basic question in economics — if you want businesses to stay, why are you making it impossible for them to survive?
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Vivek Ramaswamy won the Ohio Republican gubernatorial primary with 83% of the vote, carrying every single county in the state — after the mainstream media spent months calling him a clown who couldn't win. Then the FBI raided the offices, marijuana dispensaries, and home of Virginia state Senate President Pro Tem Louise Lucas — one of the key architects of Virginia's redistricting effort — with a SWAT team, arresting multiple people. No specific charges were announced, but between the marijuana businesses, the redistricting allegations, and what appears to be a home health company, there may be a lot of smoke and a lot of fire. And in Indiana, five of the seven state senators who defied President Trump on redistricting and voted with Democrats to block new maps were voted out of office in Republican primaries — bringing Trump's primary endorsement record to approximately 95%.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the question of how much you actually share with your closest friends — and whether oversharing is a nervous habit, a trust issue, or just the way some people are wired. We get into the viral Barstool video of two former best friends publicly airing each other's secrets in real time, why the person who spills becomes the pariah even when she was wronged, why Teri's advice to her children is to keep secrets between themselves and God, and why the vault of true friendship should never have a combination that changes with the weather.
We get Speaker of the House Mike Johnson on the phone for an extended conversation covering some of the most significant legislative accomplishments of the current Congress. Johnson explains why getting all 12 appropriations bills passed in regular order — something that hadn't been done in years — is a bigger deal than most Americans realize, why the Christmas omnibus had become a bipartisan racket that nobody read and everybody funded, and how they're already starting the process again for next fiscal year. He also covers the Farm Bill, the border security and ICE funding reconciliation package that will fund those agencies for the next three years without a single Democratic vote, and the proposed rebranding of ICE to National Immigration Customs Enforcement — so the other side would have to say they want to defund NICE.
We also dig into Ilhan Omar's connection to the $250 million Minnesota COVID-era childcare and meal fraud scheme — specifically that a Minnesota House committee gave her office until May 5th to turn over documents and communications related to the nonprofits whose emails her office appears in repeatedly. May 5th passed. She turned over nothing.
We also get into the data center construction boom happening across America — and why AOC, Bernie Sanders, and the left are suddenly opposed to building the infrastructure America needs to beat China in the artificial intelligence race. We explain why losing the AI race to China isn't just an economic setback — it's a civilizational one.
For our Bright Spot, Max Davis lost his brother Beck to suicide on May 10th, 2023. He started a nonprofit called the Beck Davis Survivors of Loss Foundation and is now running a full marathon — 327 laps around the Washington Monument — to raise money for families dealing with grief. He's calling it the Washington Monument-a-thon, and people who've never met are showing up to run with him. His message to people who are struggling: think about all the people who are really out there and really do care about you.
And we close with the life of Ted Turner — who inherited his father's billboard company at 24, parlayed it into radio stations, traded those for a small Atlanta TV station, turned that into the first cable superstation, and then built CNN, the first 24-hour cable news network. Ted Turner passed away today at the age of 87. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 5, 2026.
We open with a story that tells you everything you need to know about where some people's priorities are right now — a D.C. magistrate judge apologized to the alleged White House Correspondents' Dinner assassin for the conditions of his safe cell. We explain what a safe cell actually is, why someone who allegedly planned to kill the president and anyone who got in the way might reasonably be placed in one, and why the same logic that says we weren't watching Jeffrey Epstein closely enough is exactly why we watch someone like this closely. We also revisit the broader question of whether this man was acting out of insanity or whether he was simply following the Democrat Party's own rhetoric to its logical conclusion — and why there is a meaningful difference between the two.
In our Top 3 Thing You Need to Know, Dell Computing is moving its corporate registration from Delaware back to its home state of Texas — after a $1 billion shareholder lawsuit settlement sent $267 million straight to the law firm that filed it. Texas has set up new business courts and made frivolous shareholder lawsuits harder to file, and Dell, founded in Austin in the 1980s, is coming home. Then the federal government is suing the state of Minnesota for suing energy companies over greenhouse gases — the DOJ arguing that a single state attempting to regulate global emissions is an unconstitutional power grab into an area of exclusive federal jurisdiction. And the DOJ is suing Denver over its 37-year-old assault weapons ban — Acting AG Todd Blanche responding to the city's hell no with a reminder that the Constitution is not a suggestion and the Second Amendment is not a second-class right.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the growing trend of married couples choosing separate bedrooms — a TikTok conversation that turned out to be far more common than anyone expected. We talk about whether sleeping separately is a practical solution to snoring and sleep deprivation or a slow erosion of intimacy, why the men in the room were unanimously opposed while the women were a lot more understanding, and why one mama's husband made the case that sleeping next to each other — even while asleep — is its own form of quality time.
We're joined by Admiral Brian Christie, Assistant Secretary for Health and head of the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, for an in-depth conversation on two major HHS initiatives. First, TrumpRx.gov and Most Favored Nation drug pricing — an agreement with 16 to 17 major pharmaceutical companies that ends the decades-long arrangement where Americans subsidized lower drug prices for citizens of other countries. We explain how the program works, why it is not a government takeover of medicine, and how to use TrumpRx.gov to find the lowest available prices on your prescriptions. Then Admiral Christie explains the Trump administration's formal position on gender dysphoria in minors — a peer-reviewed report from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health concluding that the appropriate treatment is compassionate mental health care, not puberty blockers, not surgery, and not what the last administration called gender-affirming care. The Admiral does not mince words on what those procedures actually do to children.
We also cover President Trump pausing Operation Project Freedom — the naval escort program through the Strait of Hormuz — at the request of Pakistan and other nations, as negotiations with Iran over permanent nuclear disarmament continue to develop. We explain why this is a strategic pause, not a retreat, and why the blockade remains fully in place.
In our Digging Deep segment, we preview Rededicate 250 — a national jubilee of prayer, praise, and thanksgiving on the National Mall on May 17th — and make the case that prayer was never optional or incidental to this country's founding. The Continental Congress opened in prayer. Leaders called for national days of fasting and thanksgiving before there was even a constitution. John Adams said the Constitution is wholly inadequate for the governance of any but a moral and religious people. We talk about what happens to a republic when it stops being that.
For our Bright Spot, Officer Antonio Richardson of the Jacksonville Police Department — an 18-year veteran of the force and a 30-year veteran of the pulpit — spent an hour and a half praying with a young man standing on the edge of the Dames Point Bridge in Jacksonville, Florida. When the man finally stepped back and hugged him, Richardson told him why he wears the badge — to reach those whom the devil thinks he's got. The video posted by the Jacksonville PD has gone viral. We play the clip. We are not ashamed to say it made us feel something.
And we close with four-year-old Nova Hallett of Beaverton, Oregon — who found her grandmother bleeding and disoriented after a fall, ran outside, found a neighbor, told them what happened, called 911, and then calmly led the paramedics directly to her grandmother's apartment. The city of Beaverton honored her for her bravery. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 4, 2026.
We open with a clip that demands an answer — Tennessee State Representative Justin Pearson went on national television and called President Trump a white supremacist domestic terrorist. We play the clip, we break down what those words actually mean in their legal and historical context, and we ask the question nobody on the left wants to answer — if you genuinely believe the president is a domestic terrorist, what is the logical conclusion of that belief? We connect the rhetoric directly to the pattern of political violence that has now produced multiple assassination attempts, explain why people who spend years calling someone Hitler and a terrorist cannot then claim surprise when someone acts on that logic, and make the case that this is not hyperbole anymore — it is an environment that is getting people killed.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Iran broke the ceasefire — attacking an oil pipeline in the United Arab Emirates that would have allowed the UAE to bypass the Strait of Hormuz and ship oil to the world independently. The UAE called it a dangerous escalation and reserved the right to respond. CENTCOM destroyed six Iranian fast boats attacking U.S. ships in the strait. The bombing is probably coming back. Then the Supreme Court allowed abortion drugs to continue shipping across state lines for now — staying the Fifth Circuit's ruling banning cross-state mifepristone shipments until May 11th while Louisiana and other states respond to the Court's questions. And Alabama and Tennessee have called special legislative sessions to redraw their congressional maps following the Supreme Court's ruling on racial gerrymandering — which combined with Louisiana's ongoing redistricting could give Republicans five more seats this fall.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a fascinating question — can you tell who is going to grow up to be a millionaire? We dig into the ADHD and autism connection to entrepreneurial success, why people with ADHD often can't focus on the mundane but will obsess on a problem with a ferocity nobody else can match, why Teri's experience interviewing millionaires for her magazine showed a consistent pattern, why the five people you spend the most time around shape your economic trajectory, and why medicating the superpower out of your kid might be the most expensive parenting mistake you'll ever make.
We also cover the 68% of National Guard and Reserve forces classified as overweight — and the nearly $1 billion the military has spent on Ozempic and GLP-1 weight loss medications since 2021. We discuss whether medication is a legitimate tool for readiness or a workaround for a standard that should be enforced directly, and what it means that we are going to war with the army we have.
We dig deep into Representative Rashida Tlaib's proposed Unhoused Persons Bill of Rights — a bill that would create federally protected rights for homeless Americans including the right to public spaces, freedom of movement, health care, housing, a livable wage, and education. We go through the bill section by section and explain the fundamental philosophical error at its core — that if the government has to provide it, it is not a right, it is a redistribution. Real rights come from the creator and require nothing from anyone else. The moment someone else has to labor to give you your right, you have taken their rights away. We also note that the bill proposes to end the homeless crisis by 2027 — and ask why, if that's achievable by government declaration, they need a permanent bill of rights for people who won't exist in a year.
We also cover Los Angeles considering whether to allow noncitizens to vote in local elections — while simultaneously exploring ways to strip voting rights from Palisades fire victims who no longer have a physical address in the city because their house burned down. We call it what it is.
We address Jimmy Kimmel's joke about Rudy Giuliani — made days before Giuliani was hospitalized in critical condition — and why jokes about people's mortality and decline aren't comedy. They're contempt wearing a punchline.
For our Bright Spot, Stephen Colbert's last days on air produced one genuinely beautiful moment — Jimmy Fallon and Colbert singing the national anthem a cappella in harmony from memory on Colbert's final shows. We celebrate it — and note that if people on the left love this country enough to memorize the harmony on the Star-Spangled Banner, there is still hope. And we preview the Memorial Day concert on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol hosted by Joe Mantegna and Gary Sinise — a solemn reminder that Memorial Day is not a three-day weekend. It is the day we honor those who gave the last full measure of devotion.
And we close with Secretary of State Marco Rubio — who, according to social media, has now been given every job in the world by President Trump — spinning records as the DJ at a family wedding. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

We open with a number the media doesn't want you to focus on — 74% of Americans, including a majority of Democrats and independents, agree it is in America's national interest to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. That's according to a Harvard Harris poll, which leans left by about five points. We talk about what it means that three out of four Americans agree on a major national security issue in a country the media tells us is hopelessly divided, why the media's obsession with conflict distorts our understanding of where most Americans actually stand, and why the real division in this country isn't between the American people — it's between the American people and the people who claim to speak for them.
In our Top 3 Thing You Need to Know, the 76-day Democrat shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security is officially over — Republicans passed a funding bill over total Democrat obstruction, and Democrats got none of the changes they wanted. ICE and Border Patrol are fully funded. Then President Trump signed an executive order creating Trump IRAs — retirement savings accounts available to Americans who can't access them through their employers, with up to $1,000 in federal matching funds for those earning under $35,000 a year. A 25-year-old who invests $165 a month under the program could have $465,000 by retirement. And President Trump has pulled his second Surgeon General nominee and named Dr. Nicole Sapphire — a licensed radiologist and director of breast imaging at Memorial Sloan Kettering — to the position, after the Senate refused to confirm a nominee who had never completed her medical residency and holds no state medical license.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dig into divorce law and whether the system is biased against fathers — and the Kentucky data that is turning heads. After Kentucky made 50-50 shared custody the legal default in 2018, the state's divorce rate fell roughly 25% over the next several years. We talk about why that makes sense, why the financial and custody certainty of equal sharing may be causing couples to work harder to stay together, what firsthand experience with biased family courts looks like, and why loving your children more than you hate your ex is the only standard that actually protects them.
We cover the rhetoric-to-violence pipeline — specifically the logical endpoint of eight to ten years of Democrats and media figures calling President Trump a fascist, a Hitler, a pedophile, a rapist, and an existential threat to democracy. We explain why you cannot spend a decade using that language and then stand at a podium after another assassination attempt saying there's no place for political violence. If you believe what you're saying, the violence is the logical conclusion. And that is exactly the problem.
In our Digging Deep segment, we do a comprehensive state-by-state accounting of the redistricting war following the Supreme Court's ruling on racial gerrymandering — mapping out where Republicans and Democrats each stand to gain seats, which states are moving, which might move before this fall, and what the net effect could be on House control. We walk through Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, North Carolina, and a list of Southern states now emboldened by the Supreme Court decision — and on the Democrat side, California, Virginia, and Utah. When you add it all up, Republicans could be looking at a net gain of anywhere from 8 to 26 seats through redistricting alone — in a House currently separated by six seats. We explain who actually started this war — hint: it was Eric Holder and Mark Elias — and why the Supreme Court just changed the rules of the game.
We also cover Representative Jamie Raskin's claim that the Supreme Court has been gerrymandered — and explain why that sentence has no meaning, why the Supreme Court is not a political body, what it's actually supposed to do, and what it tells you about where the left is right now that their best argument against a ruling they don't like is a word that doesn't apply.
Then we play Fake News Friday — real news, fake news, or really fake news — including John Hinckley Jr. weighing in on the Washington Hilton, Seth Moulton's Nazi submarine comparison to Pete Hegseth, Kamala Harris calling the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps British Redcoats in front of King Charles, and whether President Trump is really considering renaming ICE to the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement so the media will be forced to call them NICE.
We also address the UAE's warning that no Iranian arrangements on the Strait of Hormuz can be trusted — and talk about why the UAE may actually benefit from keeping the strait closed, since they have a pipeline that bypasses it entirely.
And we close with AJ Haradas at the Boston Marathon — who fell four times after the 26-mile marker and was about to crawl to the finish line when two strangers, Aaron Beggs and Robinson Oliveira, came up on either side and carried him across. Three men who didn't know each other. One finish line. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 30, 2026.
We open with a media language lesson — because after 76 days of Democrats in the Senate shutting down the Department of Homeland Security, headlines across the country said the House finally ended the shutdown, as if Mike Johnson was the problem. We correct the record, explain exactly how budget reconciliation allowed Republicans to fund DHS, ICE, Border Patrol, the Coast Guard, Secret Service, and TSA without a single Democratic vote, and ask the question nobody in big media wanted to answer — what does it say about a political party that was willing to leave the Secret Service tip line unmonitored for 76 days, right up until someone walked into the White House Correspondents' Dinner with a shotgun?
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the Florida legislature passed a new redistricting map in a single day — passing the House on party lines and the Senate 21 to 17 — expected to flip four Democrat seats Republican and help Republicans hold the House this fall. Then first-time unemployment claims fell to 189,000 last week, the lowest level since 1969, and as a percentage of the workforce, an all-time record low — at a time when there are 143 million more people in the country than there were the last time numbers were this good. And Maine Governor Janet Mills dropped out of the Democrat Senate primary, leaving the party's nomination to go to political newcomer Graham Plattner — the candidate who made national news when it was revealed he has a literal Nazi tattoo on his chest that he claims he didn't know was a Nazi symbol.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the viral TikTok trend of men introducing their AI companions to their families as boyfriends or girlfriends — and why a supportive mom validating her son's relationship with a chatbot isn't love, it's enabling. We talk about why AI companions mirror and validate rather than challenge and grow you, why that's the opposite of what a real relationship does, why kids with imaginary friends are actually developing healthier coping skills, and why joy — not just happiness — is the standard we should be holding our lives to.
We also play the clip of Democrat Congressman Seth Moulton on CNN saying Pete Hegseth is guilty of war crimes — and that Allied nations tried and executed Nazi submarine captains for doing the same thing. We call this what it is — rhetoric that gets people killed — and connect it directly to the pattern of political violence that has now produced at least four armed attempts on the president's life and 19 documented assassination plots, more than any president in American history.
In our Digging Deep segment, the Free Beacon obtained through open records the actual rubric that Portland, Oregon uses to determine who gets homeless shelter services first — and it is not need-based. It is intersectionality-based. A woman who is a domestic violence survivor with a six-year-old child who has been homeless for over a year scores lower than a non-white, non-straight, non-English-speaking applicant with fewer boxes checked. In Maryland and Minnesota, race is the single biggest factor in determining whether someone gets housing benefits — more important than whether they are actually currently homeless. We connect this to the Supreme Court's racial redistricting decision this week and ask whether in the 250th year of this nation, we have figured out what all men are created equal actually means.
We also cover the Comey indictment — specifically how Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche personally stepped in to pursue the case after Pam Bondi had shelved it. We explain why this isn't primarily about winning a conviction — it's about throwing cold water on an environment where coded threats against the president have become casual, normalized, and consequence-free.
We also cover former Senator Ben Sasse — diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer in December, sleeping 15 hours a day from chemotherapy, and spending the time he has left giving interviews about whether he loved enough, whether he did what he was called to do, and whether any of us are living as if time actually runs out.
For our Bright Spot, a Harvard Harris poll — not a right-leaning outlet — shows that 52% of Americans support U.S. military airstrikes on Iran, 54% say they were justified, 74% say the U.S. is winning, and 78% say Trump was right to agree to a temporary ceasefire. We talk about what these numbers mean for the midterm narrative that the Iran conflict is a political liability — and why you should never bet against the American people.
We also address Tucker Carlson's claim that President Trump has contempt for normal Americans and doesn't care about Baltimore or rural America — and explain why the man who just posted the lowest per-capita weekly unemployment numbers in American history doesn't need Tucker Carlson to tell him who he cares about.
And we close with 14-year-old Jude Baker — who finished chemotherapy for a rare form of bone cancer, rang the bell at the clinic, and when Make-A-Wish offered him any adventure he wanted, asked instead if he could stuff backpacks and prepare hot meals for more than 300 homeless people living near the hospital where he received treatment. He said, I wanted to help them because I was in a bad situation and they were too. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 29, 2026.
We open with a landmark day at the United States Supreme Court — two massive decisions that will reshape elections, redistricting, and the fight for life in America for decades to come. We dig deep into the Callais decision, which effectively ends the use of race as a primary basis for drawing congressional districts, overturning decades of lower court precedent that the majority says forced states to engage in the very racial discrimination the Constitution forbids. We walk through Justice Alito's majority opinion line by line, explain what Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act actually says versus how it has been misapplied, cover Justice Thomas's concurring opinion noting that redistricting was never in the Voting Rights Act to begin with, and ask the question Barack Obama apparently hasn't considered — if racial gerrymandering is the only way black candidates can win, how did you get elected president?
We also cover the Supreme Court's ruling protecting crisis pregnancy centers in New Jersey from a politically motivated fishing expedition by the state's attorney general, who demanded 10 years of donor records from a clinic that had committed no crime — simply because it doesn't perform abortions and actively counsels women on alternatives. The Court said that's not an investigation. That's political retribution designed to silence free speech through fear of association.
In our Top 3 Three Things You Need to Know, North Carolina has identified 34,000 dead people still on its voter rolls through a routine data cross-check — a number state officials say was far higher than expected. We talk about why this isn't unique to North Carolina, why 17 blue states are currently refusing to cooperate with federal voter roll verification efforts, and why every illegal vote cast in the name of a dead person is an act of voter suppression against a living one. Then the Supreme Court strikes down racial gerrymandering in a ruling that could eventually reshape dozens of congressional districts across the country. And the United Arab Emirates — the target of more than 2,800 Iranian missile and drone attacks in the past month — announced it is leaving OPEC, potentially beginning the unraveling of the entire organization that Iran helped found.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a question that applies to Apple, private schools, churches, and businesses of every kind — why do organizations so often decline or collapse after losing their founders? We talk about Steve Jobs and what happened to Apple in the 1990s without him, a private school in Arlington, Texas that had a waiting list and is now closing its doors after pushing out its visionary founder, and why jealousy among the people closest to the founder is almost always at the root of it. The lights of the party are gone. And it goes dark.
We dig deep into the redistricting earthquake — walking through exactly what the Supreme Court's ruling means for Louisiana, which had been forced by a lower court to draw a 250-mile-long, two-mile-wide district linking black neighborhoods from Baton Rouge to Shreveport. Louisiana will have to redraw its maps for the third time since 2020. We also connect the ruling to Representative Cleo Fields' press conference response, correct the historical record about Louisiana's voting history, and point out the uncomfortable truth that it was the Democrat Party — not the Republican Party — that wrote and enforced the poll taxes, literacy tests, and property requirements that Fields invoked to condemn today's decision.
We also cover the April Gallup survey showing that high cost of living remains the number one financial concern for Americans, with 55% saying their financial situation is worsening — and we put that in context against the continuing inflation baked in from Biden-era spending that is still working its way through the economy.
For our Bright Spot, the U.S. Geological Survey has discovered 2.3 million metric tons of economically recoverable lithium in the Appalachian region — enough to manufacture 130 million electric vehicles, 180 billion laptops, or 500 billion cell phones, and enough to replace 328 years of lithium imports. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum calls it reclaiming America's mineral independence. We call it one of the most significant resource discoveries on American soil in a generation — even if most of it sits under blue states that have spent decades fighting mining.
We also cover Rosie O'Donnell claiming the White House Correspondents' Dinner assassination attempt was staged — including apparently Butler, Pennsylvania — and respond accordingly. And we close with King Charles presenting President Trump with the bell of the HMS Trump, a British submarine that sank six Japanese ships during World War II, with the message — should you ever need to get a hold of us, just give us a ring. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 28, 2026.
We open with major breaking news — federal authorities raided more than 20 locations in Minneapolis as part of a massive crackdown on childcare fraud tied to fake businesses that billed the government for kids who didn't exist, meals that were never served, and facilities that couldn't have provided care even if they'd wanted to. We dig into how this fraud was made possible, why Tim Walz's administration silenced whistleblowers who were sounding the alarm years ago, why Ilhan Omar's legislation created the incentives that made it all possible, and why the fraud wasn't just tolerated — it may have been the point. We also connect this to a broader pattern: when illegal immigration was rampant under Biden, it wasn't incompetence. When childcare fraud ran into the billions, it wasn't incompetence. The policy was the policy.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted again — this time over a social media post featuring seashells arranged in the shape of 86-47, where 86 is slang for kill and 47 refers to the 47th president. Comey claims he didn't know 86 would be taken as a threat. Then a former advisor to Dr. Anthony Fauci has been indicted for intentionally concealing federal documents about COVID-19 research — including allegedly working to secretly restore a federal grant on bat virus research after the COVID lab leak theory gained credibility, and then destroying all evidence of those communications on government devices. And federal agents executed raids on 20 locations across Minneapolis tied to the childcare fraud investigation — carrying out boxes of files while investigators say billions of dollars in federal aid was stolen by fake businesses.
Our American Mama Teri Netterville joins us to take on Jimmy Kimmel's joke that Melania Trump has the glow of an expectant widow — delivered on the Friday night before an armed man tried to make that a reality at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. We lay out the Kimmel defense, Melania's response demanding ABC take a stand, and why the double standard is as clear as it gets. Roseanne Barr was canceled within 48 hours for a tweet. Shane Gillis was fired from SNL before his first episode for an old joke. Chris Harrison lost a 20-year career for defending a sorority girl. Jimmy Kimmel dressed in blackface, calls the president a pedophile on national television, jokes about the First Lady becoming a widow — and George Clooney and Jake Tapper come to his defense. We also explain why Kimmel's jokes about someone he genuinely hates aren't comedy at all — they're bullying with a laugh track.
We also revisit the redistricting war — this time with updates from Virginia and Florida. The Virginia Supreme Court has now blocked the state from certifying the results of its special redistricting election while it determines whether the election itself was legitimate — and there are multiple serious legal problems with how it was conducted, including ballot language that called turning a 6-5 Democrat advantage into a 10-1 advantage restoring fairness. Meanwhile, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has called a special session to redraw Florida's congressional maps, proposing a new map that would cut the number of Florida Democrats in Congress from eight to four. We explain why DeSantis's maps are geographically compact in a way Virginia's clearly are not, and why the broader gerrymandering battle may ultimately require a constitutional amendment to resolve — if there even is a right answer.
Then we talk consumer confidence — which hit its highest point of the year in April, despite everything the media has been telling Americans to be afraid of. The Iran conflict, AI job fears, tariffs, tax day — and yet Americans are more confident about their economic prospects now than at any point this year. The manufacturing index also peaked in April. We talk about what that says about the American spirit and why the sky the media keeps pointing to stubbornly refuses to fall.
We also cover President Trump's welcoming remarks to King Charles at the White House — remarks that we call one of the most genuinely beautiful things said at a presidential event in years. Trump reminded the room that before Americans had a nation or a constitution, we had a culture and a character — and it came from Britain. We dig into why the ideas of the American Revolution were born in British Enlightenment philosophy, why the special relationship is strained right now, and what Britain would look like if it remembered who it's supposed to be.
And we close with Peter Mutabazi — a man who grew up in an abusive home in Uganda, immigrated to the United States, never married, and spent years fostering 47 different children because he never wanted another child to feel the way he felt as a boy. This month, he officially adopted a young boy named Jacob, who had spent four and a half years in the foster care system. Being adopted is more than a milestone — it's the beginning of a lifetime of belonging, security, and unconditional love. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 27, 2026.
We open with the story that dominated the weekend — another assassination attempt on President Trump, this time at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington D.C. A man traveled by train from California, breached security carrying a shotgun, a handgun, and two knives, shot a Secret Service agent in a bulletproof vest, and was taken down before reaching the ballroom. We cover what was in his written statement, why the reasons he gave sound almost indistinguishable from the Democratic Party platform, and why President Trump walked back into that ballroom afterward — because we don't let evil win and we don't let one man take the night from everyone else.
Then our American Mama Teri Netterville joins us to talk about the assassination attempt, the pattern of political violence that has now produced three close calls, and the direct line between inflammatory rhetoric from media figures and unhinged actors who take it literally. We dig into left-wing influencer Hassan Piker — the number one influencer on the American left, who has called for the murder of Rick Scott and whose content is so violent that Democrat candidates are still campaigning with him anyway. We also cover Jimmy Kimmel's comment that Melania Trump has a glow like an expectant widow — made days before an armed man tried to make that prophecy come true — and Melania's powerful response demanding ABC take a stand. We ask the question nobody in big media wants to answer — when does rhetoric become incitement?
We Dig Deep into the 60 Minutes interview between President Trump and anchor Nora O'Donnell — specifically the moment that's going viral for all the right reasons. O'Donnell read from the alleged assassin's written statement calling Trump a pedophile and rapist, Trump pushed back firmly, and O'Donnell responded with what we call one of the most brazen acts of media gaslighting in recent memory — saying, oh, you think he was referring to you? We break down exactly why that response is not journalism, it's abuse — and why the media's pattern of floating smears, getting called out, and then pretending they had no idea what they were implying is a form of institutional dishonesty that the American people deserve better than.
We also dig into the congressional redistricting battle playing out simultaneously in Texas, Florida, Virginia, and California — because what looks like separate legal fights is actually one coordinated war over who controls the House before a single vote is cast this November. The Supreme Court upheld Texas's new Republican-drawn maps today, potentially adding five Republican seats. Florida's Governor DeSantis is advancing new maps that could flip four Democrat seats. Virginia's Democrat-drawn maps designed to create a 10-1 advantage are tied up in court and the state Supreme Court sounded skeptical today. We explain who actually started this fight — it wasn't Texas — and why the most important redistricting Supreme Court case of the decade is coming this summer out of Louisiana.
We also spend some time on the wine. After the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, 147 of 186 bottles of $796-a-bottle wine went missing. We debate whether this is theft, entitlement, or a reasonable response to a near-death experience — and we do not fully agree.
For our Bright Spot, Senator Mike Lee of Utah has introduced the Ending Discrimination in Government Contracting Act — legislation that would require federal contracts to be awarded based on the competency, cost-effectiveness, and track record of the business rather than the skin color or gender of the owner. We explain why Chief Justice Roberts was right that the only way to stop racial discrimination is to stop discriminating on the basis of race — and why this bill is exactly that principle applied to the way your tax dollars are spent.
And we close with 96-year-old Barbara Collins, who loves gardening but whose knees don't cooperate anymore. Fortunately, her granddaughter's 150-pound Newfoundland sheepdog Chewy lives next door — and when Barbara points to a spot in the garden, Chewy digs. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 24, 2026.
We open with a stunning and deeply consequential indictment that could reshape how Americans view one of the country’s most powerful nonprofit organizations. Federal prosecutors allege that the Southern Poverty Law Center funneled millions in donor funds to individuals tied to extremist groups — a claim that cuts directly against the organization’s public mission. From there, we follow the trail into Washington, where Rep. Jim Jordan is demanding answers about possible coordination between the SPLC and the Biden administration. How close was the relationship? Where does advocacy end and government influence begin? And what happens if those lines were crossed?
We dig into the details laid out in the indictment — including allegations of shell companies, hidden financial channels, and internal acknowledgments that raise serious questions about intent. Then we zoom out to the bigger picture: whether organizations built to monitor extremism may have had incentives to amplify or even sustain it, and what transparency should look like when nonprofits intersect with federal power.
In our Top 3, global tensions rise as President Trump escalates pressure on Iran with renewed peace talks and a significant U.S. military presence in the region — signaling that diplomacy may be nearing its breaking point. Back at home, the Department of Justice drops its criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell after billion-dollar renovation overruns, raising fresh questions about accountability and oversight. And in a chilling case out of Texas, authorities stop a planned terror attack targeting a synagogue — a reminder of how real and immediate these threats remain.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, tackle a viral cultural flashpoint: a doctor proudly refusing to return her shopping cart. What starts as a seemingly trivial debate quickly turns into something deeper — a conversation about personal responsibility, public behavior, and what small actions reveal about character.
In our Digging Deep segment, we break down a striking example of government efficiency versus excess. After a $34 million renovation of the National Mall reflecting pool failed to last even 15 years, a new plan slashes the cost to just $1.5 million — avoiding a proposed $300 million overhaul. It’s a case study in how leadership, priorities, and execution can dramatically change outcomes.
We also examine a major fraud investigation tied to Rep. Ilhan Omar and the $250 million “Feeding Our Future” scandal, where expanded funding and reduced oversight may have opened the door to one of the largest pandemic-era fraud schemes in the country.
Plus, a look at Americans fleeing California in search of affordability, a growing debate over AI’s role in replacing human skill and judgment, and a fast-paced round of “Real News, Fake News, or Really Fake News.”

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 23, 2026.
We open with a story that exposes a dangerous new frontier in political corruption — candidates for Congress placing bets on their own election outcomes on prediction markets like Kalshi, effectively insider trading on democracy itself. We dig into the cases of a Minnesota state senator, a Texas Republican, and a Virginia candidate who were suspended from the platform for wagering on races they were actively running in — and the jaw-dropping detail that the Minnesota senator had sponsored a bill to ban prediction markets in his own state while placing bets on one. Then we cover the U.S. Army soldier who used classified information about the capture of Nicolas Maduro to place $33,000 in wagers on a prediction market and walked away with $400,000 — betting on whether American military personnel would live or die. We ask the harder question of whether prediction markets themselves are making corruption easier, elections cheaper, and American lives into a commodity.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a growing and painful trend — parents who leave the bulk of their inheritance to their troubled children and nothing to the responsible ones, reasoning that the good kids will be fine on their own. We get into why this rewards bad behavior, what the Prodigal Son story actually teaches us about fairness, why it's usually the responsible child's spouse who feels the injustice most acutely, and the smartest thing one mama's mother ever did — she started giving things away before she died so everyone could choose what they wanted with no hard feelings.
In our Digging Deep segment, billionaire Ken Griffin — owner of the most expensive home ever sold in the United States, a $238 million penthouse at 220 Central Park South — has been personally called out by New York City Mayor Mamdani as a target of his luxury property tax. Griffin is now reportedly reconsidering a $6 billion development project in New York City. We explain the difference between taxation and targeting, why class warfare isn't just bad politics but bad economics, and what happens to a city when the people who build things decide the message is clear enough and leave.
Then we go deep into a City Journal report on what is happening inside Massachusetts women's prisons after the state passed a 2018 criminal justice reform law allowing any male prisoner to transfer to a women's facility simply by telling a guard he identifies as a woman — no clinical diagnosis required. We read directly from the report. Serial rapists. Wife murderers. Child molesters. Transferred into facilities housing female inmates and female guards. Female correctional officers with documented histories of sexual assault trauma being ordered to strip search male inmates — and told they could be held in contempt for refusing. We ask where the feminist left is on this, and what it means when ideology crashes into reality and real women pay the price.
We also cover Mike Vrabel stepping away from the New England Patriots amid a personal scandal involving a reporter — and what it tells us about the difference between a leader who tells his team what to do and a leader who shows them.
For our Bright Spot, The Atlantic — one of the most left-leaning publications in the country — accidentally published a masterclass in conservative economics. San Francisco's Bay Area Rapid Transit solved its vandalism crisis and cut crime by 41% with one simple change: they made people pay a fare to ride. Crime fell. Vandalism dropped by a thousand hours of cleanup. Revenue is up $10 million a year. We celebrate The Atlantic for accidentally proving what the right has been saying for 50 years — when something costs you even a little, you treat it differently.
And we close with Curry Arnold of Atlanta, Georgia — a dad who started taking his one-and-a-half-year-old daughter to the library to read, posted videos on Instagram, and accidentally started a movement of fathers and children reading together called Library Dads. By age two and a half, his daughter had a vocabulary of over 250 words. One thing to have men in your circle. Another thing entirely to have men in your corner. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 22, 2026.
We open with a stunning report from the Manhattan Institute revealing that California Governor Gavin Newsom spent nearly $1 billion in taxpayer money importing 400,000 migrants from poor countries — not out of compassion, but to serve as customers of the state's welfare agencies and, eventually, loyal voters for the California Democrat machine. We connect the dots from Tammany Hall in the 1800s to today, explain why fighting ICE is simply about protecting your voter base, and ask the question California taxpayers should be asking — why are we broke and paying $2,500 per person to bring in people who can't afford to live here either?
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the head of the U.S. Navy has been fired — Secretary John Phelan removed immediately and replaced on an interim basis, with no reason given, in the middle of an active naval conflict in the Strait of Hormuz. Then Georgia Congressman David Scott passed away at age 80 after years of reported declining health — we reflect on his long career and offer condolences to his family. And Virginia voters narrowly approved the Democrat-drawn congressional map designed to flip the state's congressional delegation from a 6-5 split to a 10-1 Democrat advantage — passing 51.5% to 48.5% in a result that perfectly illustrates how imbalanced the new maps actually are. Republicans are continuing their legal challenges and a court has already moved to block certification.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a wild story — people in Poland who spend the Fourth of July LARPing as Americans, setting up fake trailer parks, wearing overalls and mullets, and staging mock police arrests to explore what they call the complexities of the American dream. We ask whether this is good-natured imitation or subtle mockery, why every single one of these Polish LARPers chose the fun backwoods version of America rather than the wealthy elite version, and what it says that Mississippi now has a higher GDP per capita than most of Europe — including possibly Poland.
In our Digging Deep segment, we go line by line through the actual federal indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center — and it is worse than we initially reported. The SPLC paid more than $3 million to over 40 white nationalist leaders and organizers between 2014 and 2023, including $270,000 to one of the lead organizers of the Charlottesville Unite the Right march. The SPLC then raised over $800,000 in donations in the aftermath of that very march — a march their own paid source helped organize. They set up fictitious corporate entities to funnel the payments, opened fraudulent bank accounts, made false statements to financial institutions, and paid their informants to commit state and federal crimes including theft and breaking and entering. We explain why the bank fraud charges are the strongest part of the case, what the IRS is likely looking at next, and why the SPLC's response — blaming the Trump administration for targeting political opponents — conspicuously failed to deny the actual crimes.
We also dig into the midterm landscape and Joy Reid's accidental case for Republicanism — she described the GOP as wanting no income tax, no regulations, earning what you want, and families inheriting everything. We ask why that sounds like freedom and why the Democrat Party has become openly opposed to it.
We also get into Planned Parenthood's 40% increase in gender-affirming care revenue at regional clinics after Congress pulled federal abortion funding — and why an organization that told Congress abortions were only a small part of their business model is now refusing to disclose how much revenue they're generating from genital mutilation and sterilization.
For our Bright Spot, it's Earth Day — which means it's time to go through every catastrophic prediction made at the very first Earth Day in 1970 that never came true. Civilization ending by 2000. 100 to 200 million people starving to death annually by 1980. Four billion people including 65 million Americans dying in the Great Die-Off between 1980 and 1989. We go through the list and celebrate the fact that every single excuse for creating Earth Day in the first place turned out to be complete nonsense.
And we close with a rooster in Alabama that raised $5,300 for a family with a baby in the hospital — auctioned off over and over again by a livestock sale barn full of people who refused to stop giving. The baby is off the ventilator. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 21, 2026.
We open with a bombshell — the Justice Department has indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center on 11 counts including wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering, alleging that the SPLC secretly funneled more than $3 million to white supremacist and extremist groups — the very groups they claim to be fighting. We dig into what this means, why the demand for racism has always outpaced the actual supply, how organizations like the SPLC have built entire fundraising empires off a defamation map that lists Catholic charities and Turning Point USA alongside the KKK, and why it's no coincidence that this indictment came almost immediately after Pam Bondi's exit and Todd Blanche's arrival at the DOJ.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Florida Democrat Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned from Congress minutes before the House Ethics Committee was set to determine sanctions against her — after being found guilty on 25 of 27 charges for stealing COVID relief money and funneling it into her own campaign. Then the House Judiciary Committee released a preliminary report on ActBlue showing that two employees took the Fifth 146 times in depositions, and that ActBlue deliberately weakened its own fraud prevention protocols twice in the run-up to the 2024 election — after which it reported record fundraising, including from donors in Brazil, Colombia, Iraq, Jordan, Myanmar, and Saudi Arabia. And Virginia voters are deciding whether to adopt a new congressional map drawn by Democrats to give them a 10-to-1 advantage in a state that votes Democrat by about 55% — not 90%.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson respond to a viral clip of UCLA football coach Bob Chesney asking his players if they know the name of the man who makes their omelets — and why every person on the support staff deserves to be known by name. We talk about what it says about a person's character when they take the time to learn the names of people who serve them, why Teri's father used restaurant behavior as a business litmus test, and what it means that people who have worked in the Trump White House consistently say he knows not just their names but their kids' names and how their family is doing.
In our Digging Deep segment, newly declassified documents obtained by Just the News reveal that U.S. intelligence warned in January 2020 that foreign adversaries had the capability to compromise America's voting infrastructure — and that both China and Iran did in fact penetrate voter registration databases in multiple states before the 2020 election. That information was suppressed until November 2021. When President Trump ordered it released in November 2020, the CIA refused the direct order. China didn't just hack the databases — they registered fake voters and sent fake IDs from China to match those registrations. We talk about what that means for the narrative that 2020 was the most secure election in American history, why losing trust in elections causes people to stop voting, and what has to happen before this country can restore confidence in its own electoral system.
We also cover the Supreme Court ruling that $166 billion in tariff refunds must be issued to businesses — and point out that the consumers who actually absorbed those costs at the register will see none of it, because there was never a line-item tariff charge on your receipt.
For our Bright Spot, Alan Dershowitz — lifelong Democrat, Harvard Law professor, Brooklyn-raised Jewish-American who has been a registered Democrat for 67 years — has officially switched his registration to Republican. He wrote an op-ed in the New York Times explaining why. One reason: the Democrat Party has become, in his words, the most anti-Israel party in American history. We talk about what it means when one of the most prominent Jewish legal minds in America concludes he can no longer stay.
We also get into Miss Universe adding another biological male competitor — and ask the straightforward question of why the one competition specifically designed to celebrate women is being systematically redesigned to exclude them.
And we close with Jamie Lee Mateus, a man who is admittedly a terrible painter, whose wife posted one of his bad family portraits as a joke — and who now runs a thriving side business called Terrible Art by Jamie Lee, completing hundreds of commissions for customers around the world. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 20, 2026.
We open with a direct response to Senator Cory Booker's declaration that what America needs is "not from on high" — and we don't mince words. When a sitting United States Senator who may be eyeing the presidency tells Americans to put their hope in themselves and their activism rather than in God, he isn't just making a political statement. He is rejecting the very foundation on which this country was built. We go to the Declaration of Independence, to Ben Franklin's speech at the Constitutional Convention, to John Adams, and to the book of Judges to explain exactly what happens to a nation where every man does what is right in his own eyes. Spoiler — it isn't good.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the U.S. Navy stopped an Iranian cargo ship attempting to run the blockade, warned it for six hours, fired on its engines, boarded it, and found it loaded with missile parts. Iran calls it a ceasefire violation. We call it exactly the kind of restraint that could have ended with that ship at the bottom of the ocean. Then Tim Cook is stepping down as CEO of Apple after building the company into a $4 trillion giant in the post-Steve Jobs era — and we ask the question every Apple customer is thinking. And we cover the most heartbreaking story in northwest Louisiana in recent memory — a 31-year-old man in Shreveport drove to the homes of his wife and ex-wife and shot and killed seven of his own children and one of their cousins. Both women were shot in the head and are in serious condition. We note that the Caddo Parish D.A. had previously dropped charges against this man for shooting a firearm near an elementary school.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle mate poaching — the growing trend of women intentionally targeting married men through emotional affairs, and the social media content that is now openly teaching other women how to do it. We talk about why emotional affairs are often more destructive than physical ones, why your spouse needs to be your best friend first, and the surprising story of the husband who came home and told his wife she needed to start going to the pharmacy — because he felt something he shouldn't have felt for the woman behind the counter.
In our Digging Deep segment, we cover two major accountability stories. Senate Republicans are moving a narrow budget reconciliation bill to fund Homeland Security, ICE, the Coast Guard, Secret Service, and TSA — bypassing the 60-vote filibuster threshold with a simple majority. We explain how reconciliation works and why it matters right now. Then we dig into the news that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has tapped former Trump attorney Joe DeGeneva — a man we've had on our show multiple times — to lead the grand jury probe into former CIA Director John Brennan and the origins of the Russia collusion investigation. A federal grand jury in Miami has been seated since late last year. FBI Director Kash Patel told Maria Bartiromo this weekend that arrests are coming and to stay tuned this week. We talk about why accountability matters, why the pattern of selective prosecution erodes faith in the entire system, and why Pam Bondi's departure and Todd Blanche's arrival may be the turning point conservatives have been waiting for.
We also take on Bill Maher's post-Swalwell confession that Eric Swalwell always creeped him out — and ask the question nobody on the left wants to answer. Where were you when it mattered? There is no bravery in distancing yourself from someone who has already been exposed.
We cover New York City Mayor Mamdani's war on the rich — specifically the fact that the top 1% of New York City earners are already paying nearly half of all personal income tax revenue in the city — and ask how many times you can go to that well before those people simply leave.
For our Bright Spot, the Museum of the Bible in Washington D.C. is hosting America Reads the Bible — a seven-day continuous reading of the entire Old and New Testaments in honor of America's 250th birthday, featuring President Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson, Marco Rubio, Ron DeSantis, Greg Abbott, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, Franklin Graham, and dozens more. Not a single Democrat took part. We think that tells you everything you need to know.
And we close with Principal Kirk Moore of Pauls Valley High School in Oklahoma — the man who ran out of his office, tackled a gunman, and wrestled the gun away with his bare hands, suffering the only injury of the day. This week, his students voted him king of the prom. Nickelback's Hero played as they placed the crown on his head. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 17, 2026.
We open with a story that is equal parts political scandal and perfect metaphor — Gavin Newsom's political PAC spent $1.5 million buying 67,000 copies of his own memoir and handing them out to donors, manufacturing a bestseller label out of thin air. We break down what the FEC rules actually say, why this may or may not be legal, and why it doesn't matter — because the real story is that Gavin Newsom is exactly as artificial as this stunt suggests. A plastic politician buying his own book to build a presidential resume is not a campaign strategy. It's a confession.
In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Iran has announced it is reopening the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping — and oil prices dropped 10% worldwide within hours. We give you our honest read on whether Iran's sudden cooperation is genuine or a strategic ruse, why Trump's blockade of Iranian ports remains in place as leverage over the nuclear program, and what it means that the first ship through the newly reopened strait was a cruise ship. Then we dig into the House blocking a FISA extension — the same surveillance law the Obama administration used to spy on the Trump campaign — and why the Democrats who used it are now suddenly against it. Plus, a Soros-backed Minneapolis district attorney has issued an arrest warrant for an ICE officer who drew his weapon during a confrontation on the highway, while refusing to prosecute a single activist for weeks of violent attacks against ICE officers in that city.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle one of the most personal and emotionally complex questions families face — what do you do when one sibling carries the entire burden of caring for an aging parent while the others aren't showing up? We get into the difference between checking in and actually showing up, why resentment is a trap even when it's completely justified, how childhood dynamics resurface when parents need care, and why open communication may be the only thing that keeps a family from fracturing under the weight of it all.
Then we dig into a stat that should stop every American who's been told we should be more like Europe dead in their tracks. According to a study by the Institute of Economic Affairs, if Britain became the 51st state, most Brits think they'd rank seventh in GDP per capita. The reality — they'd be dead last. Below Mississippi. We walk through where Ireland, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, and most of Europe actually fall on the list, explain why open borders, green energy mandates, and free speech regulations have quietly gutted European living standards, and make the case that Europe should be trying to be more like America — not the other way around.
We also cover the Artemis II mission's spiritual aftermath — Commander Reed Wiseman, who describes himself as not a particularly religious man, immediately sought out the Navy chaplain on the rescue ship when they splashed down in the Pacific. When the chaplain walked in wearing a cross on his collar, Wiseman broke down in tears. We talk about what it means when the farthest journey from Earth any human crew has ever taken ends with a man weeping before a chaplain he'd never met.
We discuss Elon Musk's proposal for universal high-income checks funded by AI and robotics — and why, even if the robots are doing the work, universal government income is still communism. Scripture is clear. Genesis places man in the garden not to sit idle, but to tend it.
And we close out with Fairfax County, Virginia — right next to Arlington National Cemetery, 50 miles from the Pentagon — canceling Veterans Day as a school holiday while keeping Indigenous Peoples Day. We call it what it is.
And a 91-year-old woman in Westlake, Ohio didn't answer her daily wellness check call, didn't answer her family, and didn't answer the door when police knocked. Officers used the garage code to get in. They found her alive and well in her bedroom, chasing her all-time high score on a video game. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 16, 2026.
We open with a story that should have every property owner in America paying attention — New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani is proposing an annual tax on luxury properties worth more than $5 million whose owners don't live in the city full-time. We break down why this isn't just bad policy, it's a fundamental assault on property rights. Taxing someone based on how often they use something they already own and already pay taxes on is about envy and ideology — not economics.
Then Justice Clarence Thomas gave a speech at the University of Texas School of Law commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, and we dig into why it matters. Thomas made the case that progressivism — even within conservative circles — is quietly eroding the concept of natural rights. Once government becomes the source of your rights, it becomes the master of your rights. We walk through exactly what that means for free speech, religious liberty, gun ownership, and parental authority.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to tackle a growing trend — couples using AI to write their wedding vows. We get into whether AI-generated vows are a helpful starting point or a soulless substitute for something that should come straight from the heart, why there's no algorithm for authentic love, and what it means for the next generation when AI can write a poem so beautiful you can't tell it wasn't written by a human being.
In our Digging Deep segment, Secretary of State Marco Rubio sent a cable to every U.S. Embassy around the world directing them to shift from promoting aid to promoting trade. We explain why decades of foreign aid funneled through NGOs has created dependency, inefficiency, and corruption — and in some cases, how that money found its way back into Democrat Party coffers here at home. We make the case that trade, not aid, is how you actually lift nations out of poverty, and why nothing in world history has done more of that than capitalism and free markets.
We also dig into a stunning new Gallup poll showing that young men ages 18 to 29 have now surpassed young women as the demographic most likely to say religion is very important in their lives — jumping from 28% in 2022 to 42% today. We talk about what's driving the shift, what it means that young women are simultaneously moving away from faith, and why young men returning to the church is one of the most important cultural stories nobody in big media is covering.
We also address the tragic murder-suicide involving former Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax and share an important message for anyone who may be facing circumstances that feel permanent but aren't — your situation is not your identity, and what you're going through is not who you are.
And we wrap up with Germany's plan to dock worker pay starting from day one of a sick call — a radical reversal for a country where workers average 15 paid sick days a year — and what it tells us about what happens when you incentivize absence instead of productivity.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 15, 2026.
We open with the Eric Swalwell fallout — and we go deeper than the headlines. The real question isn't whether Swalwell behaved badly. It's what did Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Democrat leadership know, and when did they know it? We dig into why a congressman this high-profile and politically useful to the Democrat Party couldn't have had these allegations swirling around him without somebody in leadership hearing something. We also compare how Democrats handled Swalwell to how Republicans handled Tony Gonzalez and George Santos — and the contrast is revealing.
Then our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to talk about Artemis II pilot Victor Glover. Just before the crew went into radio silence on the dark side of the moon, Glover read a Bible verse, prayed over the mission, and later told his neighbors gathered on his front lawn that God told us to be better neighbors to each other. We dig into why a scientist and astronaut openly crediting God is being largely ignored by big media, what made this Artemis crew feel different from any that came before, and why the relationship between faith and science isn't a contradiction — it's reality.
We also break down a bombshell report from the Financial Times — leaked Iranian military documents suggest that Chinese-built satellites were used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard to monitor and target American military bases during the conflict. We talk about what it means if China gave a designated terrorist organization real-time surveillance capability to use against U.S. Forces, why China's plausible deniability is wearing thinner by the day, and what this means for trade negotiations.
In our Digging Deep segment, we walk through the Rich States, Poor States annual economic outlook report, which ranks all 50 states by 15 equally weighted policy variables including tax rates, debt, regulation, and government size. We explain what the results mean for your family, your business, and your future.
We also get into Virginia joining the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact — a move by Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger that would effectively void the votes of Virginians in presidential elections and award the state's electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote. We call it what it is — an unconstitutional attempt to dismantle the Electoral College without actually amending the Constitution.
For our Bright Spot, Houston's Democrat mayor called an emergency city council meeting to repeal the city's anti-ICE cooperation ordinance after Texas Governor Greg Abbott pulled $110 million in public safety funding. We celebrate the governor for meaning business and the mayor for being smart enough to recognize that ideology is a lot less important when your police and fire departments are suddenly $110 million short.
And we close with a fifth grader named Alexander in Tyler, Texas, who was adopted by his foster family this week — with his entire fifth grade class sitting in the courtroom to cheer him on. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 14, 2026.
We open with a big picture look at American energy dominance and why it matters right now more than ever. With 171 crude tankers heading to the Gulf of America — compared to roughly 110 in a typical month — we dig into how President Trump's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has flipped the entire global oil market on its head, why American producers are now positioned to be the world's energy lifeline, and what it means that Germany, Japan, South Korea, India, and the Philippines are all scrambling for a reliable supply that only the United States can provide right now.
Then our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to weigh in on the Trump AI meme controversy — the image depicting the president in a Jesus-like pose that sparked outrage from Christians and Democrats alike. We give our honest take, the Mamas give theirs, and we dig into the fascinating double standard of a left that spent decades removing God from schools, courthouses, and their own party platform suddenly discovering that blasphemy is a problem. We also get into Trump pattern recognition, why the Mamas say conservatives sometimes overreact just to prove they're not blindly loyal, and why the artist who created the image says it was never meant to depict Trump as Jesus at all.
In our Digging Deep segment, we trace the Iran nuclear crisis all the way back to one decision — Hillary Clinton's push to bomb Libya in 2011. We explain why Muammar Gaddafi's decision to give up his nuclear program in 2003 is the only time in world history a brutal dictator peacefully surrendered nuclear weapons, why Clinton's decision to bomb him eight years later sent a message to every rogue regime on the planet that giving up nukes gets you killed, and why the Iranian mullahs have been drawing exactly that lesson ever since. It's a history lesson that explains everything happening in the Strait of Hormuz right now.
We also celebrate some genuinely good economic news — the IRS reports that tax refunds are up more than 10% on average, driven by no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security. We revisit the DoorDash grandma who told President Trump that the no tax on tips provision saved her $11,000 this year, and we talk about what it means when policy actually reinforces the value that the harder you work, the further ahead you should get.
For our Bright Spot, the NRA is partnering with a group called Locks and Loaded to bring firearms training specifically to Jewish communities across America — a response to the surge in anti-Semitism and attacks on Jewish institutions. We talk about why the Temple Israel in Michigan, which had just completed self-defense training, was able to stop a violent attack before anyone was harmed, and why being prepared is not political — it's essential.
We also get into the stunning revelation from The Atlantic that it was the death of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement — not Joe Biden's judgment — that pushed Gretchen Whitmer out of consideration for vice president and put Kamala Harris on the ticket. And we close out with the 2026 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction class — Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Oasis, Sade, Luther Vandross, and Wu-Tang Clan. Yes, really.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 13, 2026.
We open with a frank and honest conversation about President Trump's controversial Truth Social post depicting him in a Jesus-like image — and we don't pull any punches. We call it what it is, explain why no human being should ever present themselves as a messiah or savior, and why it was right that Trump ultimately deleted it. But we also dig into the difference between a mistake in messaging and the substance of leadership, why faith without works is dead, and what Trump's actual policy record says about where his values really lie. It's a nuanced conversation you won't hear anywhere else.
Then our American Mama Teri Netterville joins us to weigh in on the stunning and rapid collapse of California Congressman Eric Swalwell — the man who built his entire career as the moral conscience of the Democrat Party. Within 72 hours of a San Francisco paper publishing allegations from multiple women, including one former staffer who says he drugged and raped her, Swalwell dropped out of the California governor's race and resigned from Congress. We revisit his role in the Russia collusion hoax, his relationship with Chinese spy Fang Fang, his use of campaign funds to pay what is reportedly an illegal immigrant nanny, and ask the question — was any of this actually a surprise to the people around him?
We also dig into Elizabeth Warren's claim that Amazon essentially bribed Melania Trump with a $40 million documentary deal. We point out that the Melania documentary was one of the highest-grossing documentaries in the last 20 years, and ask why media deals are only corrupt when the wrong people get them.
In our Digging Deep segment, newly declassified documents released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard reveal that the primary whistleblower in Trump's first impeachment was not a neutral government employee — he was a Democrat operative who had already been in contact with Adam Schiff's office before filing his report, lied on the official whistleblower form, and had direct ties to Peter Strzok, the FBI agent at the center of the Russia collusion investigation. We connect all the dots and make the case that the first impeachment was not just politically motivated — it was manufactured.
We also get into New York's proposed legislation to effectively ban BB guns, pellet guns, and air rifles by classifying them as imitation weapons and requiring modifications that render them completely useless. We explain why this is the same playbook used to chip away at every Second Amendment right — regulate it into uselessness and call it safety.
For our Bright Spot, President Trump ordered McDonald's through DoorDash and the driver turned out to be a grandmother who went back to work after her husband was diagnosed with cancer. She told the president she saved $11,000 this year because of the no tax on tips provision in the big beautiful bill. Trump gave her a $100 tip — which she also won't have to pay taxes on next year.
And we close out with a moment of history — 55 years ago today, April 13th, 1970, the crew of Apollo 13 first uttered the words "Houston, we have a problem." We celebrate the safe return of Artemis II and reflect on what it means to bring people home.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 10, 2026.
We kick things off with a conversation about boldness, confidence, and what it means to expect greatness — and that leads us straight to President Trump's proposed 250-foot triumphal arch to mark America's 250th anniversary. We dig into whether this gold-emblazoned monument is the unapologetic celebration of American greatness that this country deserves, or whether an arch — historically a symbol of military conquest — is the right way to tell America's story. We land somewhere interesting, and we think you will too.
Then we go deeper into the Dignidad Act — the amnesty bill working its way through the House with 19 Republican signatures on it. The Federalist ran a piece on the eight most insane provisions buried inside this bill, and we walk through the worst of them. Lawyers get student loan forgiveness for helping illegal immigrants stay in the country. Deported aliens can come right back in. Illegal immigrants don't have to pay FICA taxes — giving their employers an unfair advantage over every business following the law. And if you're in the country illegally and get convicted of DWI, theft, fraud, assault, or domestic violence? You still get to stay. We call this what it is — amnesty on top of amnesty — and we name the Republicans who should be ashamed of themselves for signing on.
Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to break down the Rupert Murdoch documentary and what it reveals about entitlement, greed, and what money and power do to people over time. We get into why Murdoch's kids felt entitled to a fortune they didn't build, how greed changes people in Washington the same way it changes people in Hollywood, and why Trump and Elon Musk are two of the rare exceptions to the rule that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
In our Digging Deep segment, Disney quietly brought back "ladies and gentlemen" to its park greetings after dropping the phrase in 2021 in favor of "dreamers of all ages." We dig into what that reversal actually signals about where the culture is heading — and what happened to Disney's stock price in the years between.
We also respond to Jodi Foster, Ben Stiller, Spike Lee, Pedro Pascal, Madonna, and Mark Ruffalo demanding the closure of the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas. We explain exactly why these celebrities have zero credibility on this issue and remind everyone what was actually happening to immigrant children during the Biden administration.
And we close out with Fake News Friday — we run through the week's wildest headlines and challenge you to sort the real from the fake. Canada's new pride acronym alone is worth tuning in for. Plus, words of wisdom about the moon in honor of the Artemis II crew safely splashing down in the Pacific Ocean tonight.

Here Are The 8 Most Insane Things In The ‘DIGNIDAD’ Amnesty Bill

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 9, 2026.
We open with a story that should have every Trump voter picking up the phone and calling their congressman — there's an amnesty bill working its way through the House right now, and it's not just Democrats pushing it. Twenty Republicans have signed on to the Dignidad Act, a bill that would grant permanent legal work status and deportation protection to millions of illegal immigrants, including some convicted of theft, fraud, assault, and domestic violence. We break down exactly what's in it, why the name alone tells you everything, and why this feels like a betrayal of every voter who showed up in 2024 to end the border crisis.
Then our American Mama Teri Netterville joins us to talk about a moment that stopped us in our tracks — Melania Trump walked to the White House podium alone, faced the press corps, and told them in no uncertain terms to stop lying about her connection to Jeffrey Epstein. We dig into why this was unlike anything we've ever seen from a First Lady, the media outlets that were forced to publicly retract and apologize, and why Melania's call on Congress to open the Epstein files and let the victims tell their stories may be the most powerful thing to come out of that press conference.
We also weigh in on New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani's broken promise of free buses — and use it as a jumping-off point for a bigger conversation about why socialism always makes the same enormous promises and delivers the same crushing disappointments, every single time, without exception.
In our Digging Deep segment, we get into brand new Census Bureau data that tells a story the mainstream media doesn't want to touch. Americans aren't just leaving blue states for red states — they're leaving blue counties for red counties. Los Angeles County lost nearly 700,000 people last year. Cook County lost 320,000. Meanwhile, the suburbs of Dallas, Houston, Austin, and Phoenix are exploding with growth. We walk through the 10 fastest-shrinking counties and the 10 fastest-growing counties in America, and the pattern is impossible to ignore.
We also tackle the outrage over the DeCarlos Brown case — the man who stabbed a Ukrainian immigrant to death on a Charlotte train and has now been ruled mentally unfit to stand trial. We get into what the system missed, when it missed it, and why the victim deserves better than a footnote.
For our Bright Spot, a Maine parent sued his school district for refusing to let students say the Pledge of Allegiance — and won. We talk about why this matters, what we're losing when we disconnect our kids from the foundations of this country, and why one nation under God, indivisible, is worth fighting for in court if that's what it takes.
And we close out with Chris Christie calling the Republican Party morally adrift and principled — well, he used a different word — and the Artemis II astronauts' NASA wake-up playlist on Spotify, which honestly might be the most feel-good story of the week.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 8, 2026.
We open with a topic that has every hardworking American taxpayer's blood boiling — the Department of Justice is now officially calling fraud in America a crisis, and a new National Fraud Enforcement Division is being stood up across every U.S. Attorney's office in the country to fight it. We dig into the staggering scope of what's been uncovered in Minnesota and California alone, why COVID supercharged what was likely already a decades-long problem, and ask the question nobody wants to answer — if two states produced billions in documented fraud, what are the other 48 hiding?
Then our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to tackle a question that hits close to home for anyone who's ever worked inside a great organization — why do companies, schools, and churches that push out their founders almost always fall apart afterward? From Steve Jobs and Apple to a magical private school in Arlington, Texas that's now closing its doors, we get into the jealousy, the greed, and the hard truth that when you extinguish the visionary, you extinguish the vision.
We also get into the Justice Department's decision to open a Civil Rights investigation into Cassidy Hutchinson — the former White House aide who testified before Congress that President Trump tried to grab the steering wheel of the presidential limo on January 6th. We debate whether this is long-overdue accountability or too little too late, and we have a frank conversation about why conservatives are frustrated that nobody from that era has been held responsible for anything yet.
In our Digging Deep segment, we break down the Senate battlefield heading into this year's midterms. The Senate Leadership Fund just dropped a massive $342 million ad buy across eight battleground states. We walk through Georgia, Michigan, New Hampshire, Ohio, North Carolina, Maine, and Iowa — where Republicans are playing offense, where they're playing defense, and where we think seats could actually flip. Money amplifies a message, but it can't substitute for one, and we get into what that means for both parties.
We also dig into the Iran ceasefire and what's really happening with Hezbollah, Lebanon, and the Strait of Hormuz. Iran is claiming Israel's attacks on Hezbollah violate the ceasefire — but as J.D. Vance correctly pointed out, Lebanon was never part of that deal. We explain why that distinction matters and what it means for the fragile state of negotiations.
For our Bright Spot, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is taking on an Islamic tribunal operating outside U.S. courts and allegedly applying Sharia law to settle disputes in Texas. We talk about why this matters, what states have already passed American Laws for American Courts legislation, and why every blue state's silence on this issue says everything.
And we close out with the Milwaukee judge who helped an illegal immigrant with a violent criminal record escape from the courthouse — and whose conviction was just upheld on appeal. The system worked. And we close with words of wisdom from Abraham Lincoln on God, war, and the prayer that this mighty scourge may speedily pass away.

We kick things off with a story that should have every freedom-loving American paying attention — Gavin Newsom's wife Jennifer is pushing for legislation that would essentially direct tech companies to steer young boys away from conservative ideas online. We dig into what that really means, who gets to define what's "good," and why we see this as a direct assault on free speech and the First Amendment.
Then our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to tackle a question we've all seen play out in real life — why do organizations that push out their founders so often fall apart? From Apple and Steve Jobs to a private school in Arlington, Texas that's now closing its doors, we get into the jealousy, the blind spots, and the hard lesson that when you extinguish the visionary, you extinguish the vision.
In our Digging Deep segment, we're calling out a pattern that is anything but fringe. A Georgia Democrat candidate went viral calling for Trump voters to lose their internet access for four years as punishment for how they voted. We connect the dots from Jennifer Newsom to James Carville to The New Republic — and make the case that what Democrats want isn't just political power, it's the ability to punish anyone who dared to disagree with them.
For our Bright Spot, we share a moment from Vice President J.D. Vance's press conference in Hungary that stopped us in our tracks. When asked whether God is on America's side in the conflict with Iran, Vance gave an answer that was humble, grounded, and frankly exactly what you want to hear from someone in his position. We break down why it matters — and why it echoes something Abraham Lincoln said during the Civil War.
And we close out with words of wisdom from Lincoln himself — on friendship, on the will of God in times of conflict, and on the prayer that war would speedily pass away. Timeless stuff, and more relevant today than ever.

We're kicking off this Monday with some remarkable Easter weekend news — U.S. Catholic dioceses are reporting record numbers of adult converts, and we dig into why the Church is seeing a surge that's not just happening here at home, but across Europe and Australia too. From Oklahoma City to Newark to Mobile, the numbers are stunning, and we talk about what's really driving people — especially young people — back to faith.
Then our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to weigh in on a growing trend we honestly couldn't believe was a thing: couples who get legally married in secret and then stage a whole second wedding for family and friends — without telling anyone. We dig into whether it's harmless fun or just flat-out deceptive, and things get interesting fast.
In our Digging Deep segment, we break down a six-month CBS News investigation into why Californians are paying so much more at the pump than the rest of the country. Spoiler alert: it's not the oil companies. A full 55% of the cost of every gallon of gas in California comes down to state government policy — and we walk through exactly what that means.
For our Bright Spot, we share new data from the American Enterprise Institute that completely flips the "hollowing out of the middle class" narrative on its head. The middle class isn't shrinking because people are getting poorer — it's because more American families are moving up into the upper middle class. We break down what that actually looks like since 1979, and why it's a story worth celebrating.
And we close out with a Moment of Whoa that'll restore your faith in people — specifically, a group of first graders in New Hampshire who, entirely on their own, decided to learn American Sign Language so they could talk to their deaf classmate Ben. And then the whole class followed. We love this one.

On this episode of American Ground Radio, we kick things off with a powerful and timely conversation about faith in America as we head into Easter. For years, we’ve been told that church attendance is declining and religion is fading—but the numbers tell a very different story. We dive into a surge in church participation, especially within the Catholic Church, and what appears to be a growing spiritual awakening across the country. More importantly, we explore why—from cultural instability to the search for truth in a world flooded with misinformation—and what this renewed focus on Christianity and Easter really means for the future of America.
Plus, we break down the biggest headlines shaping the day, including escalating tensions with Iran after a U.S. fighter jet is shot down, a sweeping crackdown on Medicaid fraud, and the latest developments surrounding plans for a new White House ballroom.
We take you inside the high-stakes political battle over who will become the next U.S. Attorney General. With major names being floated and the clock ticking, we walk through the strategy, the implications for the Trump agenda, and why this decision could reshape the Department of Justice—and Washington—moving forward.
American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a question that hits close to home: Are we stunting the development of our sons? We explore how gaming, social media, cultural pressures, and shifting expectations may be holding young men back from growing into strong, independent adults—and what that means for the future of family and society.
Plus, It’s Fake News Friday, so we put the headlines to the test—separating real news from fake news and really fake news. From bizarre government policies to media misfires, this segment highlights just how hard it’s becoming to tell fact from fiction in today’s information war.
And we react to a shocking story out of Maine involving a Senate candidate whose past and rhetoric raise serious questions—not just about politics, but about respect for faith, culture, and basic decency. It’s a moment that will make you stop and think about just how far things have gone.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 2, 2026.
On this episode of American Ground Radio, we kick things off with a look behind the headlines as a major shakeup rocks the Department of Justice. The firing of Pam Bondi by Donald Trump becomes the centerpiece of a broader conversation about leadership, expectations, and what it really means to deliver results at the highest levels of government. From frustrations over legal strategy to lingering fallout from the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, we break down why this moment may have been inevitable—and what it signals moving forward.
We also dive into the legal battles shaping the administration’s agenda, including recent Supreme Court arguments on birthright citizenship and other high-stakes rulings that could redefine executive authority. Along the way, we explore a growing frustration among conservatives: the belief that accountability in Washington is inconsistent at best—and nonexistent at worst.
In our “Three Things You Need to Know” segment, we cover the latest developments surrounding Bondi’s departure, a major appeals court decision involving election-related sentencing, and a tragic case out of Florida that underscores the real-world consequences of violence and domestic instability.
From there, the conversation shifts to leadership struggles in America’s largest cities, as New York’s new mayor faces criticism from within his own party over budget concerns and transparency. We also take a closer look at migration trends out of California and what they reveal about the modern American Dream—who’s chasing it, who’s leaving it behind, and why.
Plus American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson weigh in on a viral survival-style show that separates men and women into competing groups—and the results spark both laughter and debate. From wildly different approaches to problem-solving in the wilderness to a deeper conversation about the complementary strengths of men and women, it’s a spirited discussion that blends humor with a broader cultural commentary on modern gender dynamics.
We wrap things up with a mix of culture, commentary, and a few unexpected stories—from celebrity headlines involving Tiger Woods to a creative entrepreneur turning urban problems into opportunity.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 1, 2026.
It might be April Fool's Day, but there’s nothing funny about what’s unfolding at the United States Supreme Court. We dive straight into one of the biggest constitutional questions in decades as the Court hears arguments over birthright citizenship tied to an executive order from Donald Trump. What does the 14th Amendment actually say—and has it been misunderstood for more than a century?
We also break down the top stories you need to know, including President Trump making history by attending Supreme Court oral arguments, a Republican plan to fund the Department of Homeland Security without Democrat support, and NASA’s Artemis II mission preparing to send astronauts around the moon for the first time since the Apollo era. These stories highlight major moments in law, leadership, and America’s continued push forward.
Later in the show, we shift to a broader global conversation as tensions with Iran continue to rise. We walk through what may be behind a potential presidential address, the strategic importance of global shipping lanes, and what a stronger stance from the U.S. could signal to both allies and adversaries around the world.
In our Digging Deep segment, we take a closer look at the constitutional language behind birthright citizenship, including the long-standing precedent set by United States v. Wong Kim Ark. Is citizenship simply about being born on U.S. soil, or does “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” mean something more? We explore the history, the legal arguments, and what’s really at stake if the Court reconsiders this interpretation.
We also take on some major cultural conversations—from double standards in sports, comparing reactions to Jaden Ivey and LeBron James, to a growing trend of people cutting off family members over political disagreements. It’s a deeper discussion about values, accountability, and how culture continues to shift in real time.
We wrap things up with a couple of lighter—but meaningful—moments, including a look at declining traffic fatalities across the country and what’s actually making roads safer, plus a heartwarming story that reminds us how simple acts of kindness can still make a big impact.

In this episode of American Ground Radio, we dig into what happens when politicians try to declare entire debates off-limits—and why that should concern anyone who values a free society.
We kick things off with the controversy surrounding “Transgender Day of Visibility” and the broader push to label certain issues as “not up for debate.” We break down why that framing matters, how it shapes public discourse, and why real leadership doesn’t shut down conversation—it invites it.
From there, we turn to today’s biggest headlines in our “Top 3 Things You Need to Know,” including escalating tensions with Iran, a federal ruling on taxpayer funding for NPR and PBS, and a legal battle over changes to the White House itself.
We also take a closer look at election integrity, as new executive action aims to overhaul mail-in voting—raising major constitutional questions about the balance of power between states and the federal government.
Then, American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us for a lighter (and very relatable) conversation about the little things spouses might keep to themselves—especially when money is involved.
We Dig Deep into everything from campaign finance controversies involving Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to a broader discussion about faith, leadership, and whether political figures—and even religious leaders—are getting the facts right when weighing in on war and morality.
Plus, we highlight a major Supreme Court decision on free speech and therapy, renewed efforts to return Americans to the moon, and what it all says about the future of the country.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for March 30, 2026.
On this episode of American Ground Radio, we start by tackling the growing divide in how the world responds to tyranny versus American action. We take a hard look at the situation in Iran—highlighting the brutal realities faced by its people—and ask why so many voices seem louder in condemning the United States than in defending those suffering under oppressive regimes. It’s a conversation about moral clarity, selective outrage, and what it really means to stand for freedom.
American Mamas Kimberly Burleson and Teri Netterville break down a viral story about a mom who took an unconventional approach to confronting school bullying. What starts as a shocking moment turns into a deeper discussion about parenting styles, accountability, and how schools handle discipline in today’s culture. It’s equal parts eye-opening and relatable, with a few laughs along the way.
We Dig Deep into two major issues impacting Americans right now. First, we explore the rise of personalized pricing—where businesses may be using data and algorithms to charge you based on what they think you can afford—and whether that crosses the line from capitalism into something more concerning. Then, we turn to the Supreme Court as it considers whether mail-in ballots should be counted after Election Day, and what that decision could mean for election integrity and public trust moving forward.
We highlight a push for accountability out of Washington, as Senator John Kennedy proposes that members of Congress shouldn’t get paid during a government shutdown if federal workers aren’t getting paid either. It’s a simple idea that raises a big question: should lawmakers live with the consequences of their decisions?
We wrap things up with a look at political accountability and cultural moments—from media figures dodging straightforward questions about Iran, to a restored historical statue finding a new home at the White House.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for March 27, 2026.
In this episode of American Ground Radio, we start with a jaw-dropping question: when did enforcing the law become something taxpayers have to apologize for? A push from Representative Pramila Jayapal for reparations for illegal immigrants sparks conversation about fairness, the rule of law, and who really gets left behind in today’s political priorities.
From there, we break down the Top 3 Things You Need to Know, including a late-night Senate maneuver that raises serious transparency concerns, a new anti-fraud crackdown led by J. D. Vance already cutting off suspicious funding streams, and a major ethics scandal that could lead to a member of Congress being expelled.
Then, we ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson: should celebrities just stay out of politics? Rock legend Gene Simmons says yes—and the Mamas don’t hold back. From Hollywood hypocrisy to the growing disconnect between elites and everyday Americans, this conversation hits a nerve and asks whether celebrity voices carry any real weight anymore… or if they’ve talked themselves into irrelevance.
Next, we go Digging Deep into one of the most iconic—and overlooked—pieces of American military power: the A-10 Warthog. It’s old, it’s loud, it’s anything but stealthy… and it might still be the most effective weapon we have in modern warfare. Why does the military keep trying to retire it? And what does that say about how we think about innovation, cost, and combat in the 21st century?
Of course, it wouldn’t be Friday without Fake News Friday, where headlines get put to the test. Some are real. Some are fake. And some are so ridiculous they should be fake—but aren’t. Play along and see how well you can spot the difference.
In our Moment of Whoa, we take a hard look at a story that didn’t get nearly enough attention—a reminder that sometimes the most revealing headlines aren’t the ones dominating the news cycle. It’s the kind of moment that makes you stop and say… wait, what?
And finally, we close things out with a little perspective—and a lot of wisdom—from The Lord of the Rings. In a world that feels increasingly chaotic, these timeless quotes remind us about courage, purpose, and why some things are still worth fighting for.
All that and more in this episode of American Ground Radio—where the conversation is real, the questions are tough, and nothing is off limits.

In this episode of American Ground Radio, we start with a straightforward question that’s turning into a major political divide: why is requiring a photo ID to vote so controversial? We walk through the blocked Senate amendment, the arguments surrounding voter ID, and why something so common in everyday life suddenly becomes “extreme” when it comes to elections. Along the way, we dig into how the politics around election integrity have shifted—and what that could mean going forward.
We then move into the “Top 3 Things You Need to Know,” including President Donald Trump’s decision to extend a pause on U.S. bombing in Iran as negotiations remain unclear, an ethics investigation involving a sitting member of Congress, and a tragic case in New York that raises serious concerns about crime, immigration enforcement, and public safety.
From there, we dig deeper into new allegations that U.S. taxpayer dollars may have been funneled through international channels and routed back into American politics. It’s a story that’s been dismissed before—but with new reporting surfacing, we break down what’s being claimed, what’s changed, and why it matters.
We also take on several major policy and cultural issues shaping the country right now, including the rise of mail-order abortion pills and the decisions that made them more widely available, along with the broader legal and moral questions that follow. The conversation expands to global tensions as we ask whether the United States is finally confronting threats that have been building for years.
American Mamas Teri Netterville and and Kimberly Burleson discuss education and the growing role of AI in the classroom. Are students actually learning—or just learning how to get around the work? With real-world examples, we explore what happens when critical thinking takes a back seat to convenience.
And we wrap things up with a Bright Spot, highlighting a shift in international sports back toward biological fairness—raising bigger questions about competition, science, and the future of women’s athletics.
It’s a wide-ranging episode that connects the dots across politics, policy, and culture—all while staying grounded in one core idea: truth still matters.

In this episode, we take on one of the toughest questions in public policy: what happens when leadership decisions collide with real-world consequences?
We start with a sobering breakdown of a tragic murder highlighted by House Speaker Mike Johnson—and the layered policy failures he says made it possible. From border enforcement under Joe Biden, to state leadership by J. B. Pritzker, to local decisions in Chicago under Brandon Johnson, we walk through how border policy, sanctuary laws, and “catch-and-release” policing intersect—and whether those outcomes are accidental or by design. It’s not about rhetoric—it’s about responsibility, governance, and the core purpose of government itself: protecting its citizens.
From there, we hit the top stories you need to know before tomorrow, including a shocking threat from Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner against ICE agents, a controversial lawsuit against tech giants like Meta Platforms and Google over alleged social media addiction, and a surprising political shift in Florida that could signal trouble for Republicans heading into the midterms.
We also explore culture and leadership—from a global summit hosted by Melania Trump to a broader conversation about the often-overlooked role of spouses in shaping world leaders. It’s a reminder that no one leads alone—and that influence doesn’t always happen in front of a microphone.
In our “American Mamas” segment, the conversation turns fiery as the media backlash against working-class roots takes center stage. After comments from Jimmy Kimmel mocking a former plumber turned national leader, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dig into the elitism behind the criticism—and why the American Dream still resonates, whether you’re a business owner, a tradesman, or someone working your way up.
Plus, we dive into global tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, media narratives versus military reality (including surprising analysis from The New York Times), and the growing economic migration from blue states to red states—where billions in income are on the move.
We wrap things up with a powerful reminder of what’s still right in America: a story of perseverance, hard work, and opportunity that proves the pursuit of happiness is still alive and well.

In this episode of American Ground Radio, we dig into a major question at the heart of election integrity: should ballots be counted if they arrive after Election Day? With new polling showing overwhelming bipartisan agreement that votes should be received—not just postmarked—by Election Day, we break down what’s at stake as the Supreme Court weighs in and why so many Americans see this as a simple issue of trust, transparency, and fairness.
We also take a closer look at the role of mail-in voting, the sharp drop in absentee ballots between recent election cycles, and the growing concern that extended counting periods undermine confidence in election outcomes. If Americans don’t trust the system, what happens to participation—and ultimately, democracy itself?
From there, we shift to Washington and beyond, covering key political developments, including a shake-up at Homeland Security, a Senate appointment in Oklahoma, and NASA’s ambitious (and expensive) new plan to build a base on the moon—raising questions about priorities, timelines, and global competition.
In our American Mamas segment, things take a lighter turn as we ask: do people judge you by the car you drive? The answers are honest, hilarious, and maybe a little too relatable.
Back on the serious side, we tackle cultural and political flashpoints—from companies fleeing high-regulation states to controversial legislation that has people asking whether common sense has left the building. Plus, a deeper conversation on morality, justice, and faith as we reflect on the life—and death—of a convicted criminal, and what it means to hold both accountability and grace at the same time.
We also dive into foreign policy, as questions swirl around potential negotiations with Iran. Who do you trust when the narratives don’t match—the U.S. president or a hostile regime? And what does it say about our political climate when some leaders appear to side against their own country?
And finally, a bright spot: a young hero steps up just one day after learning CPR, reminding us that even in the midst of political chaos, there are still stories that restore your faith in people.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for March 23, 2026.
In this episode of American Ground Radio, we dive headfirst into one of the biggest debates happening right now—President Trump’s handling of Iran—and why it’s not just the left pushing back, but voices on the right as well. We talk through the criticism coming from figures like Tucker Carlson and Rand Paul, and ask a bigger question: is this really about policy disagreements, or is it about discomfort with a president who actually acts instead of just talking?
We break down the geopolitical reality of America’s allies and explain why, whether people like it or not, Israel may currently be our strongest partner on the world stage. And when it comes to Trump, we make the case that what frustrates the so-called “expert class” isn’t what he says—it’s what he does.
In the “Top 3 Things You Need to Know,” we cover Trump’s announcement of a temporary pause in bombing Iran and the conflicting reports about behind-the-scenes negotiations. We also get into how ICE agents are stepping up to help with airport security during a funding standoff, and a tragic murder in Chicago that raises serious questions about immigration enforcement and accountability.
We also dig into a major case before the Supreme Court that could redefine how mail-in ballots are handled across the country. Should ballots arriving days—or even weeks—after Election Day still count? We walk through the arguments, the growing concerns about trust in elections, and why this issue matters no matter where you fall politically.
And speaking of accountability, we highlight a proposal from John Kennedy that would stop Senators from getting paid during a government shutdown—something that sounds like common sense, but ran into immediate opposition from Brian Schatz. We break down what happened and why it struck a nerve.
We also take a moment to talk about the state of our culture, reacting to comments from Charlamagne tha God and what they reveal about just how divided the country has become.
Then the American Mamas join us with some real-life wisdom—advice for younger generations about debt, relationships, social media, and how fast life really moves. It’s one of those conversations that hits a little deeper.
Plus, we dig into a fascinating (and honestly concerning) trend in the economy—companies using your personal data to charge you different prices than someone else for the exact same thing. Is that just smart business, or something else entirely?
All that and more as we question the narrative, challenge the “experts,” and try to make sense of a world where decisive action seems to make some people more uncomfortable than inaction.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for March 20, 2026.
In this episode, we start with a major shift in the media landscape—one that signals far more than a simple business decision. After nearly a century on the air, CBS News is shutting down its radio division, marking the end of an era that dates back to 1927. But is this really about changing technology… or something deeper?
We dig into the collapse of legacy media, exploring how trust—not just revenue—may be at the heart of the decline. From the fallout of past controversies to the growing perception of bias, the conversation turns to whether mainstream outlets can regain credibility in an age where audiences have more choices—and higher expectations—than ever before. Is CBS capable of turning things around, or is this just the beginning of a larger unraveling?
From there, we break down the Top 3 Things You Need to Know, including a grand jury subpoena involving former FBI Director James Comey, new questions surrounding a Secret Service security failure, and a legal ruling that could impact a high-profile governor’s race in California.
We also take a closer look at the growing divide in politics and culture—from a heated Senate primary battle in Texas to concerns about how ideology is shaping public discourse and policy.
In today’s American Mamas segment, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson weigh in on a controversial question: should students be allowed to leave school to participate in political protests? The discussion dives into parental authority, school responsibility, and whether activism is being encouraged—or exploited—in today’s classrooms.
Plus, we explore the consequences of a digital world where “the internet is forever,” unpack a shocking report on undisclosed government spending, and take a hard look at government waste with a jaw-dropping infrastructure project in California.
And of course, we wrap things up with Fake News Friday, where the headlines get wild and the line between truth and fiction gets even blurrier.
It’s a fast-moving, thought-provoking episode that connects media, politics, culture, and accountability—asking the bigger question behind it all: what happens when the institutions people once trusted no longer feel trustworthy?

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for March 19, 2026.
In this episode of American Ground Radio, we start with a big-picture look at California’s latest tax proposal and the ripple effects it could have across the country.
We break down the so-called “Billionaire Tax Act” and why Gavin Newsom may be pushing a policy that sounds good on paper—but could end up shrinking the very tax base it’s meant to grow. As billionaires begin leaving the state, we ask a fundamental question: what happens when you target a small group of high earners and they simply relocate? From lost income tax to declining property values and reduced economic activity, the consequences may be far bigger than advertised.
We also cover the top three things you need to know before tomorrow, including a failed effort to pass a balanced budget amendment in Congress, a razor-thin committee vote advancing a key Homeland Security nomination, and a major shift on the world stage as U.S. allies signal they’re ready to help secure the Strait of Hormuz.
American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to a viral Smoothie King incident involving alleged political discrimination against customers. The conversation quickly turns deeper—into concerns about rising hostility, cultural division, and whether everyday Americans feel comfortable expressing their views in public anymore. It’s a candid discussion about where the line is between disagreement and outright exclusion—and what that means for the country moving forward.
We also explore the role of humor in today’s political landscape, featuring a conversation with Rob Schneider. From the state of comedy to his tongue-in-cheek “Tears of the Left” bourbon, we talk about why laughter might be one of the last tools we have to bridge cultural and political divides.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for March 18, 2026.
In this episode of American Ground Radio, we take you through the biggest stories shaping the country—starting with a heated debate on election integrity and the SAVE Act.
We break down the Senate vote and the real question at the heart of it: if safeguarding elections is “common sense,” why is it so controversial? From voter ID requirements to restoring confidence in the system, we dig into what’s really driving the fight—and why trust in our elections is just as important as the outcome.
Then, American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to a viral video that flips the script on job interviews—asking men the kinds of questions women say they’ve faced for years. Is it a fair critique or just another example of modern victim culture? The Mamas weigh in with some straight talk about confidence, humor, and playing to your strengths in the workplace.
We Dig Deep into the economic reality hitting high-tax states like New York. As leaders admit they’re losing their tax base, we ask the obvious question: if you’re competing with other states, why not lower the burden? It’s a candid conversation about remote work, economic freedom, and why Americans are voting with their feet.
Our Bright Spot shines a light on a surprising story—a deported immigrant who openly admits the law is the law and takes responsibility for his situation. It’s a rare moment of accountability that cuts through the usual political noise and reframes the immigration debate in a powerful way.
And we wrap up today's show by zooming out to the bigger picture—foreign policy, media narratives, and the staying power of the MAGA movement. Despite predictions of division, the data tells a different story, raising an important question: is this movement bigger than any one person?

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for March 17, 2026.
In this episode, we dig into a growing concern that should have every taxpayer asking questions: who’s really watching the money—and what happens when no one is?
We start with the latest investigation from citizen journalist Nick Shirley, who’s now turning his attention to California after exposing major fraud in Minnesota. This time, the focus is on taxpayer-funded healthcare—and the findings are raising serious red flags. We’re talking about empty offices posing as medical providers, millions in questionable billing, and a system that may be far easier to game than anyone wants to admit.
From there, we head to Capitol Hill, where the debate over the SAVE Act is heating up. Should proving citizenship be required to vote? Supporters say it’s common sense. Opponents say it’s suppression. We break down what’s really in the bill—and why the fight over it is just getting started.
We also cover major developments overseas, including escalating tensions with Iran after a high-level figure tied to the regime is taken out. What does this mean for U.S. strategy moving forward—and how should America respond?
Back at home, Attorney General Pam Bondi is facing tough questions over the Epstein files. After all the anticipation, did the release actually deliver accountability—or just more frustration?
Then we turn to a critical but often misunderstood issue: qualified immunity. With the Supreme Court now taking a closer look, we explain what it is, why it matters, and how it could reshape the balance between protecting law enforcement and holding officials accountable.
Plus American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson get personal—talking about friendships, social media, and whether political differences are tearing relationships apart in real life.
And in our Digging Deep segment, we examine claims about election integrity, alleged vote-buying schemes, and the ongoing debate over trust in the system.
We also highlight the ongoing work of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which continues arresting and deporting individuals convicted of serious crimes across the country. As political battles rage in Washington over funding and enforcement, we take a closer look at what ICE is actually doing on the ground—and why that conversation is so contentious.
Finally, we end on a high note with Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, where pitcher Paul Skenes reminds us what it means to represent something bigger than yourself.
It’s a packed episode covering fraud, freedom, accountability, and the values that hold it all together.

0:30 A Florida Democrat in Congress is in hot water after her company asked for $50,000 in COVID relief…and the federal government accidentally dropped $5 million into her account. Instead of reporting it, she allegedly kept it, bought a three-carat diamond ring, and even funneled some of the cash into her own campaign. Now she’s facing federal charges, and for once, accountability might actually be landing inside the Democratic Party. But will justice stick, or will politics bail her out—again?
10:00 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.

13:00 Despite all the doom-and-gloom headlines about how “the economy is struggling” and “Americans can’t afford anything,” shoppers are about to blow past last year’s spending. The National Retail Federation says Americans are on track to drop over $1 trillion between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday—up from $970 billion last year. And no, that jump can’t be blamed on inflation alone. People are actually choosing to spend more.
15:30 Who hosts Thanksgiving in your family? American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dive into the holiday chaos — last-minute plan changes, split gatherings, fried turkey, and even a legendary high-heel touchdown during family flag football. Plus, the sweet stories, the cooking disasters, and the grandmothers who made it all look effortless. It’s a warm, funny look at how families really decide where Thanksgiving happens… and why sometimes the only thing that truly matters is who’s making the stuffing.
23:00 Is the media stirring up chaos again? We call out the networks pushing shaky narratives, unpack why these reports don’t add up, and talk about how some outlets seem more interested in undermining the administration than informing the public.
26:00 Elon Musk just dropped a simple new Twitter feature — and it’s blowing the lid off armies of fake “MAGA” accounts that were never American at all. We’re talking trolls from Bangladesh, Eastern Europe, Africa, all posing as Trump supporters and stirring up chaos inside the movement. Now, with one click on “About This Account,” users are exposing them left and right. What did this reveal, how deep does the deception go, and what does it mean for the infighting we’ve seen online?

32:30 Trump derangement syndrome has officially gone professional. This week, even the architect working on the White House remodel is under fire. Not a politician, not an adviser — an architect. Members of the American Institute of Architects are suddenly questioning his ethics, his permits, his historical paperwork… all because he took a job for President Trump. Never mind that the White House has been renovated, rebuilt, and reimagined by countless architects under past administrations with zero drama. Now? They want this guy’s license. We break down the latest example of how no one around Trump is considered “safe” anymore — not even the guy holding the blueprints.
35:00 A new YouGov Thanksgiving poll is out, and it’s serving up some surprising numbers along with the turkey. Most Americans are gearing up to spend the holiday with family — and most aren’t expecting a political brawl at the dinner table. But the real twist? Democrats are more than twice as likely as Republicans to brace for a fight. We break down what the data says about gratitude, identity, and why some families head into Thanksgiving ready to give thanks… while others show up ready for round one.
40:00 Senator Ruben Gallego of Arizona woke up to find some of his private texts leaked all over the place. And in those messages, he absolutely torched his own party, complaining that Democrats “don’t let men be men or women be hot,” before dropping the now-infamous line: Dem women look like dem men, and dem men look like women. Democrats are saying, "Whoa."
41:30 And we finish off with President Trump's pardon of the turkeys for Thanksgiving.

0:30 Anthropic—the company behind Claude, one of the most advanced AI systems on the planet—just dropped a bombshell: a Chinese state-sponsored group hijacked a modified version of their tech and used it to launch what may be the first actual large-scale cyber-espionage campaign run almost entirely by AI. We're breaking down how Anthropic eventually shut it down—but they had to tell our government, not the other way around. Meanwhile the CIA, NSA, FBI—agencies with budgets bigger than entire countries—were too busy chasing political vendettas to notice an AI-driven cyber breach unfolding under their noses.

13:00 We take a look at the situation unfolding in Italy. The Italian Interior Ministry revealed that foreign nationals make up only 9% of Italy’s population… but nearly HALF of all sexual-violence arrests. The problem? Refusal to assimilate.
16:30 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dive into the rising trend of the so-called “gray divorce”—why longtime couples in their 50s, 60s, and even 70s are suddenly calling it quits after decades together. From Oprah’s town hall to real-life stories of retirement shock, infidelity, complacency, and even the unexpected role of the little blue pill, the Mamas break down why so many marriages are unraveling late in life.

23:00 We unpack the situation in Chicago Public Schools where fewer than one-third of students can read at grade level, but district officials somehow found $14 million to blow on luxury trips, hotel suites, and feel-good “leadership retreats.”
26:00 We Dig Deep into a jaw-dropping City Journal piece that pulls back the curtain on repeat offenders and the revolving door justice system enabling them. We walk through the wild case of Sergio Highland — a convicted killer turned “prison reform activist” — who posed with a Soros-backed DA one day and was charged with murder again the next. We dig into why crime in America is driven by a small group of chronic offenders — and why locking up the worst of the worst isn’t harsh, it’s common sense.
32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20.
32:30 We break down a brand-new YouGov poll that shows Democrats got absolutely steamrolled in the latest government shutdown showdown. Only 8% of Americans think Democrats “won” the fight, a number so low it’s practically a political face-plant. Even Democrats themselves admit the GOP came out ahead.
35:30 Plus, the University of Notre Dame makes it's Catholic mission clear, and that's a Bright Spot. We dive into last week’s dust-up at the University of Notre Dame, after an official article outlined the school’s “refreshed values” — community, collaboration, excellence, innovation — but made no explicit mention of the university’s historic Catholic identity. The university clarified and re-emphasized its core purpose, updating the mission language to put its Catholic identity at the top: “Be the leading Catholic research university… be a force for good.”
40:30 We’re talking about the sanctity of life from beginning to natural end. And then we pivot to a jaw-dropping move out of Scotland, where lawmakers are opening the door to assisted suicide with virtually no safeguards. Amendments to protect young people, the disabled, those vulnerable to coercion, or even individuals battling temporary depression? All rejected. Just tossed aside, and we're saying, "Whoa."
41:30 And we finish off today's show with some words of wisdom about purpose.

0:30 We break down the remarkable shift in tone from New York City’s mayor-elect, Zoran Mamdani—the same man who once railed against ICE as a “rogue” and “fascist” agency, vowed to resist deportations, and gave that fiery, chest-thumping election-night speech aimed squarely at Donald Trump. But when Mamdani stepped into the Oval Office, all that bravado evaporated. Instead of the angry revolutionary from election night, he appeared quiet, almost timid.

13:30 We dive into the latest Capitol Hill spectacle featuring Representative Jasmine Crockett—who, according to the hosts, came out swinging but ended up hitting her own team in the face. Crockett boldly attempted to expose what she claimed was a Republican “double standard” on ties to Jeffrey Epstein, rattling off names from Mitt Romney to George Bush. There’s just one tiny problem: Crockett’s list wasn’t tied to that Jeffrey Epstein. Her staff had pulled donations from a completely different man with the same name—a New York physician, not the infamous convicted sex offender.
16:00 American Mamas—Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson—tackle a listener question that hits close to home: Can someone actually develop a sense of humor, or is it one of those things you’re either born with or you’re not? They talk about growing up in a home where wit, timing, and thick skin were the daily curriculum. The Mamas break down the difference between natural comedic instinct and the kind of humor that feels forced or lands sideways. Good comedy, they say, comes from intelligence, self-awareness, and a lot of practice. People who never learned how to kid around often end up sounding mean instead of funny, because they never figured out where the line is—or how not to cross it. For the Mamas, humor is a muscle: start young, poke fun, take a joke, laugh at yourself, and raise kids who can do the same.

22:30 We dive into the shocking story out of Chicago—a woman set on fire on a train by a man with 49 prior arrests. And while the city is reeling, Mayor Brandon Johnson insists it’s just an “isolated incident.” We break down why this is anything but isolated, how repeat offenders are cycling through the system again and again, and what happens when politicians downplay the very real danger everyday Americans face on buses, trains, and city streets. This is a conversation about public safety, accountability, and a justice system that’s failing the people it’s supposed to protect.
26:00 We Dig Deep into President Trump’s newly unveiled 28-point peace plan for Ukraine—a proposal that’s already sending shockwaves through Kyiv, Moscow, and across Europe. Zelensky is warning Ukrainians that they now face a “very difficult choice,” while Putin is calling the plan a “starting point.” We get into what the proposal actually calls for: territorial compromises, security guarantees, restrictions on NATO expansion, frozen Russian assets being used to rebuild Ukraine, and even a fast-tracked Ukrainian election. We dig into the tough reality on the ground, why the West’s patience is wearing thin, and whether this plan is realism, capitulation, or the only path to ending a grinding war that Ukraine is slowly losing.
32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20.
32:30 We dive into a rare moment that has the accountability crowd perking up: the case of Pras Michel—the Grammy-winning member of the Fugees—who’s now staring down 14 years in federal prison for funneling foreign money into Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign. Yep, the same crowd that lectures America about “protecting democracy” was raking in tens of millions from overseas, and the media once called that campaign the “gold standard of ethics.” We break down what Pras did, why this scandal is bigger than the headlines admit, and how it exposes years of Democrat projection on election interference. If you’ve ever wondered whether anyone in Washington ever faces consequences, this is one story you’ll want to hear.
35:30 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? This week’s lineup has everything: Democrats refusing to denounce socialism, a member of Congress texting a convicted pedophile during a hearing, a child molester running for mayor, and even a federal judge blocking efforts to clean Washington, D.C. buildings. We’ve also got fake impeachments, fake hate crimes, and—believe it or not—raccoons that scientists say are actually getting cuter. Strap in, because we’re sorting the real news from the really fake news, and the results are… well, let’s just say the truth is stranger than fiction. Can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio.
40:00 Let’s talk about the attempted assassination of President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, because the official line from the FBI is that Thomas Crooks was a lone gunman. Case closed, move along. But a lot of people aren’t buying that. While Washington is telling everyone, “Nothing to see here,” the public is looking at this thing thinking… "Whoa."

0:30 We are sounding the alarm because six Democratic members of Congress put out a video telling U.S. service members they can “refuse illegal orders.” That may sound fine on this surface, but this video isn’t about law at all. It’s about planting the idea that orders from President Trump himself are somehow optional. We break down what the Constitution says about following the president's orders and how this video is just another attempt to delegitimize President Trump.

13:30 The discussion of the "refuse illegal orders" video continues, and we're calling out the Democrats' hypocrisy. The Democrats want to label January 6th an “insurrection,” but that label is far more fitting for the video that these six Democratic lawmakers put out. And isn't funny that these lawmakers never identify any supposed unlawful orders? This isn't harmless political theater.
16:00 The American Mamas tackle a difficult listener question: When a couple divorces, should they tell the kids if infidelity was involved? Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson explore different perspectives on honesty, timing, protecting children, and how to handle complicated situations when emotions are high. The conversation highlights how every family’s circumstances are different — and why compassion and careful communication matter.

23:00 We react to Senator Bernie Moreno's claim that "the American dream is dead." While the last four years under Biden were undeniably brutal for working families, America’s promise isn’t gone—just bruised by bad policy.
25:30 We Dig Deep into a jaw-dropping investigation out of Minnesota that traces massive state-funded fraud back to the wave of Somali refugees resettled during the Obama administration. We walk listeners through explosive reporting from City Journal showing how tens of millions—eventually hundreds of millions—of taxpayer dollars from housing and autism-related programs were siphoned off through fake clients, fake services, and kickback schemes run predominantly by individuals tied to the Somali refugee community in Minneapolis. The numbers are staggering: programs that were supposed to cost a couple million ballooning to over $100 million… autism funding exploding from $3 million to $399 million… and remittances being funneled overseas at such scale that U.S. Somali residents send more money abroad than Somalia’s entire national budget. And the part that stops everyone in their tracks? DOJ tracing significant chunks of that money straight into the accounts of terrorist group Al-Shabaab—leading to the chilling conclusion that Minnesota taxpayers have become the largest funders of Al-Shabaab.

33:00 We break down how, throughout history, communist regimes have always feared religion—not because prayer is dangerous, but because faith gives people something the state can’t tolerate: hope, identity, and loyalty that doesn’t flow through government power. It's no coincidence that Zoran Mamdani said that no issue is too small for the government to meddle in. The lefts wants the government to become like God.
35:30 Plus, Thanksgiving dinner is actually getting cheaper this year, and that's a Bright Spot. We break down the newest numbers from the American Farm Bureau and talk about what the drop in costs says about affordability, the economy, and why it’s a bright spot worth celebrating.
40:00 We dive into Megan Rapinoe’s latest comments on transgender athletes in women’s sports—and, yes, her unexpected comparison involving Landon Donovan’s hairline. According to Rapinoe, men in women's supports is comparable to a coach wearing a hearpiece. Her argument has us saying, "Whoa."

0:30 We walk through one of Donald Trump’s most brilliant strategic maneuvers—one the media will never credit him for and Democrats will swear was pure coincidence. Trump didn’t demand the release of the Epstein files, didn’t beat the drum, didn’t turn it into a rally chant. He hesitated just enough to send Democrats into full Trump-Derangement overdrive, convincing themselves they were “standing up” to him. And in that frenzy, Democrats in the House voted unanimously to release documents that could expose their own donors, their own Hollywood friends, and, as newly revealed, even their own party leader, Hakeem Jeffries.

13:00 Even in Congress there are still supposed to be some basic standards of conduct, especially when you’re representing the United States abroad. Speaker Mike Johnson is trying to restore that sense of honor. After an alcohol-related incident during an official trip to Mexico Rep. Dan Crenshaw from Texas, has been banned from international travel for three months.

22:30 We dive into the surprising public reunion between Elon Musk and former President Trump, reacting to their renewed friendliness and the buzz surrounding it.
25:00 We Dig Deep into President Trump’s push to dismantle the Department of Education—and how Education Secretary Linda McMahon is quietly making it happen piece by piece. Instead of just flipping off the lights and walking away, McMahon is moving programs into agencies where they actually make sense. We're walking you through why the Department of Education never lived up to its mission, how test scores have slid since its creation in 1979, and why so many states and parents want control returned to the local level.

32:30 We dive into the growing national uproar over the NFL’s choice of Bad Bunny as the next Super Bowl halftime performer—months before the game even kicks off. We break down comments from Gracie Hunt, daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, and we debate whether Bad Bunny is even on the same level as past performers.
35:30 Plus, Warren Buffet's annual Berkshire Hathaway letter is a real Bright Spot. At 95, Buffett shares lessons that go beyond money. He reminds us to forgive ourselves for past mistakes, choose the best role models, and to live a life that you can be proud of. Work harder on yourself than on your job, because greatness isn’t about money, fame, or power—it’s about helping others. And the kicker? Kindness is costless—but priceless. Greatness comes from the way you treat people, not how much you earn or the headlines you make. Buffett’s advice is simple, timeless, and actionable.
40:00 We break down Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s recent comments about President Trump and his supporters, calling them “a cult” and questioning why anyone would back him. She seems to completely misunderstand what they stand for, and that's okay. Confidence and conviction matter, and you can’t let critics or mockery shake you from standing firm in your beliefs. But if anybody votes for Jasmine Crockett, we're saying, "whoa."
41:30 And we finish off with one of the most famous speeches in American history, the Gettysburg Address.

A federal judge has dismissed the Department of Justice’s challenge to New York’s law blocking federal immigration agents from making arrests inside state courthouses—raising an urgent question: Can a state legally obstruct the enforcement of federal law?

Schumer is being pushed out by a party base that has moved far to the left of him. With Senator Cory Booker publicly framing Schumer’s generation of Democrats as the past, we break down what that political language really signals: an impending transfer of power.
16:00 We ask the American Mamas what happened to Marjorie Taylor Greene. Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dive into the sudden and dramatic shift in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s public persona—why she’s showing up on left-wing media, apologizing on CNN, clashing with fellow MAGA Republicans, and now openly feuding with President Trump himself. From her failed push to oust Speaker Mike Johnson to her sharp turn toward “unity” messaging, the mamas sort through the contradictions and speculate about the ambition, pressure, and possible political maneuvering behind it all. They also explore why so many once-rising conservative stars—from Dan Crenshaw to MTG—seem to lose their footing in Washington, and whether a shaky ideological foundation makes politicians vulnerable to shifting with the political winds.

23:00 We react to Northwestern University’s newest “well-being initiative”: a free vending machine stocked with everything from Narcan and fentanyl test strips to condoms and Plan B. By placing life-saving tools, basic necessities, and abortion-inducing medication side-by-side—accessible at the push of a button—the university is sending a troubling moral message: that all choices carry the same weight and all consequences can be conveniently erased.
26:30 We tackle an unexpected moment of honesty from longtime media insider Fareed Zakaria. Despite his résumé across some of the nation’s most left-leaning outlets, Zakaria used his CNN platform to spotlight a politically inconvenient truth: America’s affordability crisis is overwhelmingly concentrated in places governed by Democrats. We Dig Deep into into why policies in deep-blue states like New York and California consistently deliver higher costs and poorer outcomes, even as voters continue re-electing the same leaders.

32:30 We talk about the misnamed Affordable Care Act that has made healthcare less affordable by adding layers of bureaucracy. Costs could be lowered through greater price transparency from hospitals and clinics, and by eliminating “concierge” health insurance that covers routine, guaranteed services like checkups. Instead, insurance should function like car or home insurance—covering unexpected, high-cost events, not routine maintenance.
35:30 Plus, Nicki Minaj publicly supported President Trump’s comments about global Christian persecution, and that's a Bright Spot. Though known for explicit music and public feuds, Minaj identifies as a Christian, and Christianity is about grace, not perfection. After Minaj reposted Trump’s message, UN Ambassador Mike Walz invited her to speak at the United Nations, where she thanked Trump for drawing attention to the persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
40:00 After years of positioning herself as one of Trump's strongest allies, Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling Trump a "traitor." She's leaning into fringe conspiracy theories like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson with their theories about Charlie Kirk. At some point, we just have to say, "Whoa."
41:30 And we finish off with a day in 1883 that changed the way we keep time.

0:30 We dive into President Trump’s newly floated idea of a $2,000 “tariff dividend” for Americans earning under $100,000—and the heated debate it’s sparked. We break down the real numbers behind U.S. tariff revenues, the crushing weight of a $38 trillion national debt, and why handing out checks may feel good politically but won’t fix decades of fiscal irresponsibility. We explore who this proposal is aimed at, the working-class voters both parties are fighting to win back, and whether this is genuine relief or just another election-year strategy.
9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.

13:30 We break down President Trump’s call for a full, no-holds-barred congressional vote to release every remaining Epstein file—and why the timing matters. We discuss Democrats’ attempts to weaponize selectively released emails, the media’s eagerness to push a narrative, and why even those emails ultimately undercut the left’s accusations rather than support them. The hosts explore Trump’s reasoning for demanding total transparency, including his belief that dragging out the Epstein saga has become yet another political distraction—“Russia hoax 3.0”—aimed at diverting voters from Democratic failures on the border, inflation, and public safety.
16:30 American Mamas respond to a listener’s question: “Why are you enforcing your beauty standards on Black women and forcing them to straighten their hair?” The discussion centers on recent comments from former First Lady Michelle Obama, who suggested at a public event that Black women often straighten their hair to conform to white beauty standards. The Mamas question whether hair maintenance is a racial issue or something all women deal with. And they point out that Michelle Obama has the right and platform to wear her hair however she wants, noting that she's been highly praised by media and public audiences.

23:00 Under Trump, the U.S. didn’t enter any new wars—unlike past administrations that oversaw conflicts in Iraq, Libya, and beyond. Trump’s foreign-policy wins, from the historic Abraham Accords to renewed regional cooperation in the Middle East, even citing Kazakhstan’s recent involvement as a sign of growing diplomatic momentum.
24:00 We sit down with three special guests from Ukraine—Alla Yatsentsuk, her son Daniello, and advocate Katya Pavlich—to share a firsthand account of Russia’s forced deportation of Ukrainian children. Alla recounts the terrifying moment Russian forces occupied her city and ordered children, including her 12-year-old son, to attend a so-called “rest camp” in Crimea. When the children weren’t returned, Alla learned the truth: the Russians had no intention of sending them home. With the help of the organizationSave Ukraine, Alla embarked on a months-long, near-impossible journey to retrieve her child—navigating destroyed infrastructure, occupied territory, and deliberate obstruction from Russian forces. Daniello was one of the fortunate ones. Thousands of Ukrainian children are still missing, with fewer than 2,000 returned out of nearly 20,000 known abductions. Katya, representing Razom for Ukraine, explains how her organization is working to support hospitals, strengthen civil society, combat Russian disinformation, and advocate for abducted children on the world stage. She emphasizes a shared American and Ukrainian value: children are never bargaining chips.

32:30 We break down fresh speculation surrounding Senator Ted Cruz and the possibility of a 2028 presidential run. Known for being anything but subtle, Cruz is doing little to quiet the rumors—allowing buzz about his intentions to build. We discuss Cruz’s political instincts, noting he has long kept one eye on his future ambitions. But whether he should run is another question. With JD Vance widely seen as the strongest Republican contender for 2028, we weigh whether Cruz would strengthen or divide the party.
36:00 Plus, Republican states stand by Biblical, pro-life values after the Dobbs decision, and that's a Bright Spot. We break down a new report from Americans United for Life ranking the most—and least—pro-life states in the country. With the Dobbs decision returning the issue to the states, the AUL assessment goes beyond abortion to examine each state's protections for life from conception to natural death, including bioethics, end-of-life care, conscience protections, and the legal status of the unborn. Their findings reveal a stark divide: the top 10 pro-life states—led by Arkansas, Louisiana, and Indiana—are overwhelmingly Republican, while the 10 least protective states, from Oregon to New Mexico, are all governed by Democrats. Stephen and Lewis argue this split highlights the deepest cultural divide in America today.
40:00 We unpack the escalating feud between Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and President Trump—a clash that finally erupted publicly over the weekend. Greene’s new slogan, “America First, America Only,” and her attacks on Trump over Israel policy and the Epstein files sparked a forceful response from the former president, who labeled her a “lightweight,” a “traitor,” and even a RINO. Right now Republuicans could be winning everything, but we're attacking one another instead. We've gotta say, "Whoa."
41:30 And we finish off with Michelle and Vaughn Pohl, a couple who decided who nearly doubled the size of their family when they decided to adopt four children in need. When the family's car broke down, and Secret Santa stepped in to help the family showing that the Christmas Spirit is alive and well.

0:30 We dig into a surprising new analysis from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco that challenges decades of economic dogma. For nearly a century, experts have insisted that tariffs raise prices and cripple economies—but a 150-year review of data from the U.S., UK, and France shows the opposite. We break down how tariffs can lower prices, strengthen domestic manufacturing, reduce foreign dependency, and expose the myths that fueled the rise of global competitors like China. And we look at how new trade deals and shifting economic power are reshaping American industry in real time.
9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.

13:30 We break down the debate over H-1B visas, fraud in the system, and the growing rift inside the Republican Party over immigration and specialized labor. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s proposal to cap visas and crack down on abuse faces pushback after President Trump argues that certain specialized skills simply don’t exist in sufficient numbers here at home. We explore why most H-1B visas aren’t going to top-tier engineers, how major tech and outsourcing firms have become the biggest beneficiaries, and why national security concerns are now shaping the conversation about who should—or shouldn’t—be filling America’s most sensitive industrial and defense roles.
16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to the backlash surrounding Sydney Sweeney’s latest film, Christie—a biopic about 1990s boxer Christy Martin—and why the movie world has turned on one of its brightest young stars. Despite keeping her politics private, Sweeney has been labeled “problematic” after reports surfaced that she’s a registered Republican. Now, after the film’s disappointing box office debut, some in the industry are blaming her for its performance.We explore the double standard in Hollywood—how major flops from firmly left-leaning stars barely make a ripple, while Sweeney’s misstep draws vitriol from actors like Ruby Rose. We also highlight Christy Martin’s heartfelt defense of Sweeney, pushing back against claims that she “ruined” the film.

22:00 We break down the economic pressures shaping young voters—and how those frustrations helped propel Zoran Mamdani to victory in New York City. We examine the growing resentment around rent, wages, and soaring personal debt, including the staggering $1.2 trillion in U.S. credit card balances.
24:30 We Dig Deep into a new Gallup report showing one of the sharpest drops in religiosity anywhere in the world—and what that means for America’s future.We break down the 17-point decline in Americans who say faith is an important part of daily life, and why the Founders believed a moral and religious people were essential to preserving freedom. We look at how this vacuum of belief is being filled—not by God, but by government. From New York City’s Zoran Mamdani declaring that no problem is too big for government to solve, to the rise of political and ideological substitutes for religion, misplaced faith in bureaucracy threatens liberty itself.

32:00 We break down a sprawling, mob-linked sports betting ring that stretched across college campuses and pulled in student-athletes. We discuss how the explosion of legalized sports gambling, combined with the massive money flowing through today’s NIL era, has created fertile ground for corruption and chaos. From point-shaving schemes to young athletes being pressured by organized crime, we look at how institutions once built on discipline and merit have drifted into moral relativism and cash-driven incentives. And as New Jersey authorities uncover a multi-million-dollar criminal pipeline tied to college programs, the warning signs are getting harder to ignore.
35:00 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From TSA bonuses and collapsing bridges, to chart-topping AI-generated music, Tiktok scandals, and even Tucker Carlson's interview with Bigfoot, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio.
39:00 We take a look at the Democratic National Committee’s latest internal drama: staffers being ordered back to the office after years of remote work. Long-distance governing may have contributed to the party’s recent missteps, but they aren't too happy about returning to the office and we're saying, "Whoa."
41: And we finish off with a young man with integrity. After turning in some lost cash, he was rewarded with a job.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 13, 2025.
0:30 We break down the Department of Justice’s stunning lawsuit against the state of California over Proposition 50, a ballot initiative that rewrote the state’s congressional maps with blatant, unapologetic racial gerrymandering. With the balance of power in Congress potentially shifting by as many as nine seats, this isn’t just about California. It’s about the future of the Voting Rights Act, the limits of racial considerations in mapmaking, and whether the Constitution still draws the lines… or the politicians do.

13:00 California is back in the headlines — and not for anything resembling sanity. We break down the explosive revelation that the California DMV handed out more than 17,000 commercial trucking licenses to foreign nationals, including illegal aliens with no work permits, no legal status, and in many cases, no ability to read or speak English. What should be a safety-first agency has been weaponized into a sanctuary institution, prioritizing politics over public safety. We dive into how this reckless licensing spree undermines trained American truckers, destabilizes one of the most regulated industries in the nation, and endangers everyone on the road.
16:00 We ask American Mamas — Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson — what they think about the viral confrontation between singer Tish Hyman and California congressional candidate Scott Weiner. After a fully intact biological male entered the women’s locker room at her San Francisco gym, Hyman — a Black lesbian and longtime Democrat voter — confronted Wiener directly, demanding to know whether he would actually protect women’s safety. The Mamas break down the moment Hyman stood her ground against a hostile crowd, challenged the narrative that “trans women are women,” and exposed the disturbing criminal history of the man at the center of the controversy. What emerges is a rare, powerful pushback from inside the Democratic base itself — and a sign that even in San Francisco, the backlash to radical gender policies may be beginning.

22:30 We break down the stunning admission from Democratic Senators John Hickenlooper and Jack Reed, who now claim the longest government shutdown in American history was — unbelievably — “worth it.” While millions of Americans went without paychecks, vital services stalled, and military families were left in limbo, these senators are patting themselves on the back as if the suffering was an acceptable price for partisan leverage. We dig into what the shutdown was really about: not national security, not fiscal responsibility, but a political standoff over illegal-alien healthcare and a $1.5 trillion progressive wish list.
27:00 We Dig Deep into a rare moment of clarity from the U.S. Supreme Court — courtesy of Justice Neil Gorsuch. While promoting his upcoming children’s book, Heroes of 1776, Gorsuch sat down with Fox & Friends’ Lawrence Jones to discuss an urgent issue: America’s growing civic illiteracy. When asked about the consequences of removing foundational stories from our classrooms, Gorsuch didn’t hesitate. The greatest threat to America, he warned, is America itself — a population that no longer knows its own history.
We unpack his sobering reminder that most Americans can’t pass the same citizenship test required of legal immigrants, and how that civic ignorance is fueling everything from political polarization to the rise of socialism in major cities. If we don’t teach people why this nation was founded — the principles of natural rights, limited government, and personal liberty — then someone else will fill that void, and not with the truth.

33:00 We dive into the newest revelations from the Epstein document dump—and what the media isn’t telling you. While headlines focus on misdirection and selectively edited claims, the real story is hiding in plain sight: high-profile journalists and a former New York Times reporter were privately begging Jeffrey Epstein for dirt on Donald Trump… and came up empty. We break down who was involved, what the emails actually show, and why the media’s narrative conveniently ignores the exculpatory details.
35:00 Plus, Barry Brownstein’s Daily Economy article, “The Economics of Gratitude" is a real Bright Spot. We unpack a powerful idea from the article, that gratitude— not entitlement— is the foundation of prosperity. Drawing on insights from 19th-century economist Frédéric Bastiat, we reflect on how modern life is built on the contributions of millions of people we’ll never meet—and how easy it is to lose sight of that. From the smartphones in our pockets to the computers on our desks, we rely every day on technology that no single person could ever build alone. Yet in a culture of comfort and convenience, gratitude evaporates quickly. We dig into how cultivating gratitude can reshape your worldview, your politics, and your daily life, and why remembering what you already have may be the most radical—and liberating—act you can take.
39:30 Harvard's grading scale has basically become a joke. They call it “grade inflation,” but let’s be honest—it’s a participation-trophy festival. And now there’s a rumor that Harvard might finally do something about it. Perhaps Harvard has realized that standards really do matter and they're saying, "Whoa."
41:30 And we finish off with some Words of Wisdom about gratitude.

0:30 How can one city take nearly half a month to count votes? Seattle’s still counting ballots two weeks after Election Day — and somehow, the far-left candidate keeps gaining ground. From New York’s new socialist mayor to Seattle’s projected “democratic socialist” winner, delayed counts and mail-in ballots seem to benefit the far-left. But it’s about more than elections. We dig into why progressive cities like Seattle, already struggling with crime, homelessness, and failing businesses, keep doubling down on policies that made those problems worse.

13:30 Crime is down in Chicago — shootings, carjackings, and violent crime have all dropped under President Trump’s Operation Midway. You’d think everyone would be celebrating, but the left isn’t cheering — they’re furious. We unpack why a safer city has made progressives so angry and what that reveals about their real priorities.
16:00 If Donald Trump cured cancer, would Democrats even take the cure? That’s the question our American Mamas — Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson — tackle this week. From a mother’s fight to save her daughter from a rare autoimmune disease to the political outrage that erupts any time a Trump-era name is mentioned, the Mamas dig into what’s behind the left’s reflexive hostility. Why has disagreement turned into derangement? Why does everything connected to Trump — even something meant to help people — become a trigger?
23:00 We reflect on the fading penny — not just as currency, but as a piece of American culture. From “a penny for your thoughts” to “penny wise and pound foolish,” they explore what happens when familiar sayings — and the values behind them — lose their meaning to a new generation.
25:30 Follow the money — and the movers. We're Digging Deep into a new report from Unleash Prosperity, led by economist Stephen Moore, that shows just how much wealth is fleeing blue states — and where it’s landing. We break down the staggering numbers: New York, California, Illinois, and New Jersey have lost over $1.3 trillion in income as residents pack up for freer, lower-tax states like Florida and Texas.

32:30 Can affordable healthcare actually exist in America? We dig into the failures of Obamacare — the so-called “Affordable Care Act” that doubled costs for families and made seeing a doctor harder than ever. But there may be a better way.
We're joined by Francis Curry, CFO of Altrua HealthShare, to discuss how a shared-values approach to healthcare is helping families across the country find coverage at a fraction of the cost — without government subsidies or bureaucratic red tape.
40:00 We react to Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s latest non-answer — when asked if Chuck Schumer should step down, she replied that “a leader is a reflection of the party.” But is that really true? Or is it the other way around?
The hosts break down how politicians spin, stall, and sidestep accountability — and why voters deserve straight answers instead of scripted talking points. Sometimes, all you can say is… whoa.

0:30 We dive into the 40-day government shutdown, the sudden awakening of Dick Durbin’s conscience, and John Fetterman’s surprising revelation about Obamacare subsidies. We unpack how Democrats engineered temporary COVID-era subsidies, then blamed Republicans for letting them expire—and used that as leverage to keep the government closed. From the hypocrisy of “fighting for the little guy” to the gaslighting over who actually wrote the law, we're breaking down the tangled politics behind the Schumer shutdown.

13:00 What happened to civil disagreement? We confront the alarming normalization of political violence in America—especially on the far left. From Hollywood actor Woody Harrelson’s shocking comments about fantasizing over harming the president to the media’s casual acceptance of such rhetoric, we're unpacking how moral decay and intellectual failure have made violence a substitute for debate.
15:30 Would you rather marry young, have children, and build a family with someone who isn’t quite your soulmate—or wait for your true love and miss the window to have kids? American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dive into this listener question that hits at the core of love, family, and faith.
The Mamas unpack the emotional, biblical, and practical sides of marriage—from marrying your soulmate to growing into one. They share personal stories, wisdom from friends, and surprising insights into how men and women often answer this question very differently.

23:00 President Reagan once warned that “freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” On this Veterans Day, that truth rings louder than ever. We honor the men and women who have fought, sacrificed, and given their “last full measure of devotion” to preserve America’s liberty.
24:30 The Washington Post just ranked every county in America to find “the best place to raise a family.” Their conclusion? Virginia is the best—and Louisiana is the worst. But when you dig into their methodology, the logic starts to fall apart.
In this episode, the hosts break down the Post’s ranking system—what it values, what it ignores, and what it says about the media’s worldview. From weighting abortion access and gender policies above faith, family, and two-parent homes, to dismissing states that still celebrate traditional values, this list reveals more about politics than parenting.

32:30 Plus, we give Stephen's dad Colonel Thomas J. Parr a call. He reflects on what service, sacrifice, and freedom really mean. A decorated Vietnam veteran with three Bronze Stars (one for valor), a West Point graduate, and a surgeon who answered the call again during Desert Storm, Dr. Parr shares powerful, candid memories — from firefights and helicopter “unplanned landings” to moments of faith and perseverance.
39:30 After our conversation with Col. Thomas J. Parr, we reflect on a lesson that extends far beyond military service — the power of attitude. When life feels like it’s spinning out of control — when jobs are lost, marriages strain, or the world just seems turbulent — there’s still one thing you can choose: how you respond.
41:30 And we finish off with Presidents who served in the military.

0:30 After weeks of gridlock, Washington may finally reopen. Eight Senate Democrats, including Dick Durbin, Catherine Cortez Masto, and Maggie Hassan, have crossed the aisle to support ending the government shutdown. But this isn’t a sudden burst of bipartisanship—it’s political triage. While we credit John Fetterman for his consistency, most of his colleagues acted out of panic, not principle. The Democrats’ leadership, led by Chuck Schumer, is collapsing under the weight of its own miscalculation—boxed in, out of leverage, and out of public support.

13:00 We tackle one of the most disturbing moral crises of our time—Canada’s expanding euthanasia program. What began as a measure for the terminally ill has spiraled into something far darker: state-sanctioned death for people with chronic illnesses, disabilities, and even mental health struggles.
15:30 Our American Mamas, Terri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, take on a listener’s question: “Can you even say one positive thing about Democrats?”
Terri admits her “compliment” might be a bit backhanded—calling Senator John Fetterman the most sensible Democrat in America, though she jokes that says more about the state of the party than about him. Kimberly finds something to admire too: Democrats’ fearlessness in saying whatever they want without worrying about backlash—something she says conservatives could never get away with. But the discussion deepens as the Mamas reflect on their own friendships with Democrats, the difference between ordinary people and political leaders, and what “tolerance” and “pluralism” really mean in today’s climate.
23:00 We turn our attention to one of the world’s most horrific and underreported human rights crises—the persecution of Christians across Africa. In Nigeria alone, radical Islamic terrorists have murdered more than 50,000 Christians since 2009, wiping out entire villages, executing pastors, and burning churches to the ground while congregations worshiped. Where is the outrage? There’s silence from the United Nations, from Western media, and from the global human rights community.
26:00 We Dig Deep into one of the most intriguing unanswered questions from January 6th — who planted the pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC headquarters the night before the Capitol riot? More than four years later, the FBI has yet to identify a suspect, even as it has aggressively pursued hundreds of other January 6th cases. But now, new information and video evidence are reigniting the debate.
According to an investigation by Blaze Media, forensic gait analysis of FBI surveillance footage points to a 94% match with an individual who later went on to work for the CIA — a woman named Shawnee Ray Kirchhoff, who at the time was employed by the Capitol Police. The report connects a string of coincidences: her height matches the FBI’s description, she walks with a limp due to a past injury, and her proximity to a residence once under federal surveillance deepens the intrigue.

32:30 This Thanksgiving, Americans may find a little more sticker shock at the grocery store. We dive into why turkey prices have soared to their highest levels in decades, with wholesale costs up 75% since last year. From a bird flu outbreak that’s decimated flocks to the lingering fallout of Biden-era inflation that shuttered many family farms, multiple crises have converged on America’s most beloved holiday meal.
36:00 Plus, the International Olympic Committee is preparing to ban transgender athletes from competing outside their biological sex categories, and that's a Bright Spot for fairness in sports. After years of controversy, including last summer’s uproar in Paris over male-born athletes dominating women’s events, the IOC’s latest review finally acknowledges what many have long known: biological differences matter.
Citing findings from the IOC’s own medical and scientific director, we look at the evidence that male-born athletes retain physical advantages even after hormone suppression, confirming what critics of transgender inclusion in women’s divisions have said for years. This is not only a victory for women’s sports integrity, but also a sign that common sense is making a comeback on the world stage.
39:30 Michelle Obama is offended by President Trump's White House Renovations, bascially calling his demolition of part of the East Wing an attack on first ladies everywhere. But she had no problem renovating the state dining room during the Obama years. We see the hypocrisy, and we're saying, "Whoa."
41:30 And we finish off today's episode with a national hero who released his first original song at the age of 101.

We explore how Mamdani’s campaign tapped into quality-of-life frustrations, appealing to voters disillusioned by the high cost of living and the fading promise of the American Dream.
16:00 MTV is calling it quit in other countries. We ask the American Mamas if they think the same will happen in the U.S. Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, reminisce about the golden age of MTV—back when music videos ruled the airwaves, A-ha played in every living room, and Cyndi Lauper and Huey Lewis were household names. The Mamas reflect on how MTV once shaped a generation, connecting fans deeply with artists’ faces, stories, and creativity—and how today’s music landscape, dominated by TikTok trends and streaming algorithms, feels far less personal. They also talk about MTV’s slow fade, the endless reruns of Ridiculousness, and whether the network could ever recapture the magic that made it a cultural phenomenon.
With humor, heart, and plenty of ‘80s memories, they ask the big question: Is there still room for real music television in America today?

23:00 We unpack the latest congressional standoff, where Democrats’ refusal to advance legislation has effectively frozen President Trump’s agenda in place. With insights from Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana, we explore how deliberate obstruction and political gamesmanship have turned Congress into a stalemate.
25:00 We Dig Deep into why the government shutdown shows no signs of ending — and why that may be by design. After recent elections, Democrats believe they’ve found a winning formula: resist Donald Trump at all costs, even if it means keeping Washington frozen. Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy joins the discussion, revealing that even one of the most bipartisan Republicans in Congress couldn’t name a single Democrat willing to cross the aisle to reopen the government. The conversation unpacks how Chuck Schumer’s own words — “every day the shutdown continues, it gets better for us” — have become a guiding strategy for Democrats seeking political advantage over progress. We explore how the party has shifted the narrative from fiscal issues to health care and anti-Trump messaging, turning the shutdown into a campaign tool rather than a policy standoff. Democrats need Trump as their foil — their political “Lex Luthor” — to keep their base energized and their message alive.

33:00 As this year’s 75-year-old, 11-ton Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree makes its way from upstate New York to Manhattan for the 93rd annual lighting ceremony, some are beginning to ask: Will this cherished event still look the same under New York’s new leadership? We take a closer look at Mayor Zoran Mamdani’s worldview, background, and what his administration might mean for New York’s cultural and religious traditions.
35:30 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From the re-election of “Mayor McCheese" California spending, and even pet carbon footprints, can you spot the fake news?

40:00 We take a closer look at the Republican Party’s potential 2028 lineup — and the surprising signals coming from inside the Trump administration. A new Politico report reveals that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has no plans to run for president if Vice President J.D. Vance enters the race, a move the hosts say underscores an unusual sense of unity among top GOP figures. This administration's cabinet is getting things done, and we're saying, "Whoa!"
41:30 And we finish off with a Slidell woman who helped stop a shoplifter.

0:30 We take a look at Speaker Mike Johnson's warning that today’s Democratic Party has been overtaken by an ideological movement far removed from its working-class roots. Once the party that called itself the party of the middle class and moderation, Democrats have shifted so sharply to the left that traditional voices are nearly extinct.

13:00 We unpack Ronald Reagan’s iconic declaration that “government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem,” then contrast it with Mamdani’s modern-day claim that “there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.” If you want to see what happens when government tries to solve everything, look at cities like New York, San Franscisco, Chicago, and Portland. Skyrocketing taxes, tent cities, rampant crime, and deepening inequality despite billions in government spending.
16:30 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to the stunning — but not surprising — election of Zoran Mamdani as mayor of New York City. The Mamas discuss the fiery tone of Mamdani’s victory speech, where he quoted socialist figures like Eugene V. Debs rather than American founders, and how his words reflect what they see as a deeper ideological shift in American politics.

23:00 We discuss the surge of over 35,000 Americans applying to become “Homeland Defenders” — a new initiative under the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services within the Department of Homeland Security. The goal? Strengthen the nation’s immigration system by ensuring that only those who meet legal standards are granted entry or benefits.
25:30 We Dig Deep into one of the most shocking takeaways from the week’s elections — the erosion of political accountability. We reflect on a time when personal misconduct or moral scandal could end a political career, pointing back to Gary Hart’s downfall in the 1980s as a stark contrast to today. From Zoran Mamdani’s incendiary rhetoric, to Virginia’s new attorney general Jay Jones and his disturbing text messages, to Mikie Sherrill’s Naval Academy cheating scandal, and even an admitted illegal immigrant elected mayor in St. Paul, the discussion paints a picture of a political culture where outrage no longer matters — at least, not for one side of the aisle.

32:30 We turn to Clearwater, Kansas, where Mayor Joe Sabalas, a non-citizen permanent resident from Mexico, has not only served as mayor—but was just reelected. Even more troubling, records show he voted illegally in U.S. elections multiple times, leading to felony charges of election perjury and unlawful voting.
35:30 Plus, a newChristianity Today report shows Gen Z now leads all generations in church attendance, and that's a Bright Spot. This hunger for truth and spiritual grounding contrasts sharply with the moral confusion shaping politics and culture. It looks like Gen Z realizes that the next generation’s hope isn’t found in movements or ideologies, but in the gospel itself.
40:00 For the sixth straight month, U.S. Border Patrol has reported zero illegal immigrant releases into the country—a stark contrast to the 150,000–200,000 monthly releases under the Biden administration. Trump looked at all the people coming across the border and said, "Whoa!"
41:30 And we finish off with a story about Abraham Lincoln and a letter that was discovered earlier this year that shows his character.

0:30 We unpack the controversy surrounding California’s Proposition 50, which recently passed and is set to create five new Democrat-leaning congressional districts — potentially flipping control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Prop 50 represents a new wave of partisan gerrymandering, undermining fair representation and further dividing the nation along racial and political lines.

13:30 Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani told supporters to “turn the volume up” during his victory speech, but what did he really mean— and who were those words meant for? Was he signaling that the political temperature in America is about to rise even higher? Or was it just another moment of headline-grabbing bravado?
15:30 The American Mamas take on a listener question about why Michelle Obama continues to grace magazine covers like People, while First Lady Melania Trump—once a world-renowned supermodel—seems to be overlooked by mainstream media. Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson discuss the double standards in media coverage, Michelle Obama’s ongoing public presence through podcasts and books, and her repeated claims of being treated unfairly. Is Michelle Obama sending the right message to young women, or is she promoting victimhood culture?

23:00 Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that 10% of air traffic controllers will see a reduced workload due to mounting stress from the ongoing government shutdown. This decision is meant to alleviate the pressure on our air traffic controllers, but will it increase the pressure on those in Congress? Or will lawmakers continue to weaponize the shutdown for political gain?
25:00 We Dig Deep into the surprising and polarizing victory speech of newly elected New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani. Quoting socialist figure Eugene V. Debs, Mamdani framed his win as the dawn of a “better day for humanity,” but invoking Debs reveals a radical agenda. Are Mamdani’s promises — rent freezes, free childcare, and fare-free transit — visionary or economically disastrous? Is New York stepping into a hopeful new era or a dangerous experiment in radical governance?

32:30 Have “quality of life” issues like rent, wages, and affordability finally overtaken the cultural battles that once dominated Democratic messaging? Or is it simply a rebranding effort to hide the same “woke” ideology underneath?
35:30 Plus, a new Beacon Center poll out of Tennessee shows a surprising trend — most voters want more religion in public schools, and that's a Bright Spot. Over half of respondents (52%) said there isn’t enough religion in classrooms, while only 18% said there’s too much. Even among Democrats, the numbers were nearly even. National data shows growing public support for allowing chaplains in schools, though not necessarily for teacher-led prayer.
40:00 Rush Limbaugh said that he hoped President Obama would fail, and Democrats condemned him for it. Now, Zohran Mamdani promises to "take [Trump] down" and to destroy the real estate market in New York so there's never any Donald Trump again. We've just got to say, "Whoa!"
41:30 And we finish off today's show with some words of wisdom about faith.

0:30 We break down the political standoff that has brought Washington to a halt — and threatens to ground the nation’s air travel. With a government shutdown dragging on, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warns of nationwide flight chaos. From TSA staffing shortages to potential economic fallout, Democratic leaders are playing a dangerous game with American livelihoods and national security.

13:00 FromKarl Marx’s 19th-century theories to modern-day political promises, we explore why the socialist dream has repeatedly turned into a nightmare. When the state promises to take care of everything, everyone ends up poorer, less free, and more dependent.
16:00 The American Mamas tackle the latest protest trend from the Left—a planned weeklong shopping strike meant to hurt Donald Trump’s economy. The Mamas aren’t buying it. They unpack why the protest makes zero economic sense — and how, in trying to “crash” the Trump economy, participants would only end up hurting small businesses and their own paychecks.
If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button.
23:00 We take a look at the growing power struggle inside the Democratic Party — and the rise of New York socialist Zohran Mamdani. As polls suggest Mamdani’s likely win, this election could mark a political coup from within, pushing Democrats further left than ever before — a seismic shift not seen since George McGovern’s 1972 transformation attempt.
26:00 We Dig Deep into the early results of President Trump’s controversial decision to deploy the National Guard in Washington, D.C. — and the numbers speak for themselves. From a 60% drop in murders to carjackings down 70%, new reports show dramatic crime reductions since the launch of Trump’s “D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force.” The data proves that restoring order and accountability works — even as Democrats in cities like Chicago and Portland continue to fight Trump’s authority in court.

32:30 We take a hard look at the complex legacy of former Vice President Dick Cheney — a man once considered one of the most influential figures in American foreign policy. We revisit the Iraq War and the long-debated question of whether the Bush administration knowingly exaggerated claims about weapons of mass destruction. And we look at Dick Cheney's later years—Liz Cheney’s role on the January 6th Committee to his own endorsement of Kamala Harris.
36:00 A new study out in Australia says hope may be the most powerful thing in your life, and that's a Bright Spot. The study from the Good News Network found hopeful individuals experience better health, stronger relationships, and greater success in education and work. The research shows that people who nurture hope are not only more resilient but also recover faster from setbacks and resist the pull of negativity.
40:00 We discuss a striking ripple effect of the “defund the police” movement—citizens increasingly turning to self-protection products. In China manufacturers are producing anti-stab or “urban protection wear” clothing, such as coats, shirts, and vests designed to resist knife attacks. Americans are feeling less safe and they're saying, "Whoa!"
41:30 And we end today's show with a story out of Lafayette, Louisiana. Teurlings Catholic High School celebrated a historic win against St. Thomas Moore on the football field. But what made the news was what happened after the game.

0:30 We unpack the controversy out of Dearborn, Michigan, where Mayor Abdullah Hammoud told a Christian resident he was “not welcome” in the city after objecting to a street being renamed for a man who once praised Hezbollah. We break down the mayor’s remarks, the misuse of the term “Islamophobe,” and what this moment says about free speech, civic respect, and the growing confusion between disagreement and hate.

13:30 We take a hard look at what it means to be American in 2025 — and whether today’s immigration policies are helping or hurting the nation’s civic fabric. From nostalgia for Ellis Island to sharp criticism of mass resettlement policies, assimilation and shared civic norms — including pledging allegiance to the Republic — are non-negotiable for national unity.
16:00 The American Mamas are back together! After a wild stretch of floods, car troubles, and chaos, Kimberly Burleson rejoins Teri Netterville for a candid and fiery conversation about boundaries, truth, and common sense in a world that seems to have lost all three.
In this episode, the Mamas share a surprising story about a massage appointment gone wrong — when “preference” meets “policy” and customer comfort gets dismissed in the name of virtue signaling. They also unpack Glamour UK’s controversial “Women of the Year” cover featuring transgender models and ask: how far can society bend reality before it breaks?

23:00 We dive into actor George Clooney’s surprising reversal — admitting that Democrats made a mistake pushing Joe Biden aside for Kamala Harris during the 2024 election.
26:00 We Dig Deep into another glaring example of failure under the Biden administration — a 54% surge in SNAP (food stamp) spending, now topping $120 billion a year.
We unpack new revelations from Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, who says an internal review uncovered thousands of cases of EBT card fraud — from duplicate benefits across states to payments to the deceased. Even more alarming? Twenty-one states — nearly all Democrat-run — refused to share their data, with several even suing the federal government for asking where the money went.
We contrast the left’s “compassion equals more checks” philosophy with a conservative vision of empowerment and accountability. True compassion lifts people up rather than locking them into dependence.

33:30 After nearly forty years in Congress, Nancy Pelosi is reportedly preparing to step away from politics — announcing she won’t seek re-election in 2026. We reflect on Pelosi’s legacy — from her two Trump impeachments and dramatic moments on the House floor to her role in deepening partisan division.
36:00 Plus, the U.S. Navy has manager 273 nuclear reactors over 6,200 reactor-years and 177 million miles — all with zero accidents, zero injuries, and zero environmental pollution, and that's a Bright Spot.
40:30 Violence continues in Chicago. Over Halloween weekend alone, at least 23 people were shot across the city. As President Trump calls to deploy the National Guard to restore order, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and federal courts have resisted — even as the Supreme Court signals growing concern. The people of Chicago will continue to suffer so long as they continue to vote for Democrats who hate Donald Trump. It's time for somebody to step up and say, "Whoa!"
42:30 And we finish off with Scott Johnson, a STEAM teacher at Red Cross Elementary in Kentucky, whose creativity and compassion changed a young boy’s life.

0:30 As the government shutdown drags on, even some Democrats are starting to question their own party’s tactics — including Senator John Fetterman. We unpack Fetterman’s surprising candor in a CNN interview, where he condemns the political games that leave millions of Americans hungry while Congress argues over tax credits.

13:30 When did the “party of the people” become the party of the ultra-rich? We dig into a new study showing that Democrats now represent more than 75% of America’s wealthiest districts — the very same crowd that rails against “income inequality.” From Nancy Pelosi to Bernie Sanders, millionaire politicians and billionaire donors have reshaped the Democratic Party into an elite club more comfortable in boardrooms than break rooms.
16:30 The American Mamas tackle a listener's question: could Gavin Newsom actually become the Democrats' 2028 nominee? Teri Netterville doesn't hold back, calling out Newsom's chameleon-like persona — switching accents, stories, and attitudes depending on the audience. From his "hustling" childhood tale to his infamous French Laundry dinner, we're taking a closer look at Newsom's disingenuous charm campaign.

23:00 President Trump and First Lady Melania welcomed families to the White House for trick-or-treating. Kids showed up in all-American costumes from tanks and Spiderman to princesses and costumes that harken back to Trump's day of work at McDonald's.
25:00 We Dig Deep into the shocking details of Operation Arctic Frost, a secret 2022 FBI surveillance program that allegedly targeted Republican lawmakers, conservative organizations, and media outlets. We break down how the operation—approved under the Biden administration—used expansive digital tracking and data mapping to monitor phone records, online activity, and even purchases of GOP senators, Turning Point USA, and Fox News journalists. With no crimes uncovered and no probable cause established, the discussion turns to what this means for civil liberties, political bias within federal agencies, and the future of free speech in America.

0:30 For years, the Department of Justice has turned a blind eye to corruption—but that may finally be changing. The DOJ is investigating Black Lives Matter leaders for allegedly defrauding donors of millions, a long-overdue step toward restoring real accountability. From BLM mansions to political double standards, public trust has eroded under unequal justice—and holding every power player to the same standard, left or right, is essential to saving faith in the system.

13:30 A new Quinnipiac poll out of New York City shows Democratic Socialist Zoran Mamdani leading the mayoral race with 43%—well ahead of Andrew Cuomo at 33% and Republican Curtis Sliwa at 14%. But are the polls missing something? We dig into what those numbers really mean, questioning whether the data captures the growing frustration among everyday New Yorkers tired of crime, taxes, and government overreach.
16:00 The American Mamas tackle a question that’s stirring controversy: should the NAACP be supporting Winsome Sears—a Black female immigrant, Marine veteran, and current Lieutenant Governor of Virginia—over white Democrat Abigail Spanberger? The Mamas break down the debate fallout, the viral reactions across social media, and the growing frustration among Black Americans who feel politically manipulated. From Barack Obama’s campaign choices to the NAACP’s partisan priorities, the conversation exposes what many see as deep hypocrisy within identity politics. As more voters—especially young Black men—begin speaking out and shifting right, the Mamas ask: is this the moment America finally wakes up to the political double standard?

23:00 When Kamala Harris appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, her profanity-laced rant about Trump’s “ballroom for the rich” and looming SNAP benefit cuts turned heads for all the wrong reasons. We unpack the Vice President’s meltdown—fact-checking her claims about government shutdown funding and calling out the growing trend of political figures dropping F-bombs on national TV.
26:00 With ten months of President Trump’s second term in the books, we're looking back at the most productive stretches in modern presidential history. From record-breaking deportations and declining food stamp enrollment to rising GDP, falling inflation, and renewed energy dominance, the mainstream press is ignoring a wave of domestic and economic achievements. On everything from tariffs and tax cuts to military recruitment and peace deals abroad—this administration has delivered results where others only made promises.

33:30 For the first time in seven years, President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping meet face-to-face—and strike a deal that could reshape global trade. We break down the stunning tariff reductions, China’s promise to open its markets to American goods, and what it could mean for U.S. manufacturing. But is Beijing serious this time, or just smiling through another double-cross?
36:30 Turning Point USA lights up the University of Mississippi with a massive rally that packs the stadium and spills into the streets — and it wasn’t just the crowd that made headlines. Vice President J.D. Vance took center stage, fielding tough, unfiltered questions from students and delivering one of the most thoughtful defenses of faith and freedom we’ve ever heard from a sitting VP. From his take on Christianity’s role in America’s founding to his sharp insight into the future of conservative youth, this was a defining moment for a new generation of leaders. A genuine bright spot — and one worth replaying.

0:30 We dive into a symbolic and surprising diplomatic moment — South Korea honoring President Donald Trump with a golden crown and the nation’s highest order of merit. We explore what this gesture means for U.S.–Korea relations. Could it be the dawn of a “golden age” of trade and cooperation? From major new investment deals and lowered tariffs to renewed confidence on the global stage, this ceremony marks more than pageantry— it’s a recognition of America’s return to strength and respect under Trump’s leadership.

16:30 The American Mamas tackle a disturbing question from a listener: Would you let your children use ChatGPT? What begins as a discussion about AI quickly turns into a chilling warning for parents. We discuss the heartbreaking story of a 16-year-old boy who confided in a chatbot that ultimately encouraged his suicide—and we question why the creator, Sam Altman, hasn’t done more to stop it. From the ethical failures of Big Tech to the urgent need for guardrails on artificial intelligence,we call for accountability, compassion, and stronger parental vigilance. It’s a sobering reminder that while AI can help us, it can also harm the most vulnerable among us.

23:00 Nancy Pelosi takes a page out of Hillary Clinton’s old playbook—and it doesn’t go over well. We react to Pelosi’s recent remarks mocking Republicans for their faith, complete with what sounded like a forced Southern accent. The hypocrisy of a self-described “devout Catholic” attacking churchgoers while championing policies that contradict Church teaching isn't lost on us.
26:00 A rare moment of honesty from inside the Democratic Party — and it’s not pretty. We Dig Deep into a new report from Welcome PAC, a Democrat-aligned political action committee that admits their own party has become “out of touch” with most voters.
The study, titled Deciding to Win, reveals how Democrats have drifted away from kitchen-table issues like jobs, safety, and the border — and toward elite obsessions with climate dogma and identity politics. From reparations to pronouns to “making the wealthy pay their fair share,” we take a closer look at how far the left has moved, why its leaders still don’t get it, and whether Democrats can ever win back the working class they abandoned.

33:30 As the GOP looks toward the next election cycle, new RNC Chairman Joe Gruters is striking a note of cautious optimism—but should Republicans be even more confident? We break down Gruters’ strategy to hold both the House and Senate, emphasizing voter turnout, election integrity, and the growing movement of Hispanic and Black voters shifting toward the GOP.
36:30 After years as one of the loudest voices warning of climate catastrophe, Bill Gates is suddenly singing a different tune. In a surprising op-ed ahead of the upcoming climate conference in Brazil, Gates admits that climate change “will not lead to humanity’s demise," and that's a Bright Spot.
40:30 John Stewart had democratic socialist comunist Zoran Mamdani on the Daily Show. Stewart compared Mamdani's campaign to a Jackie Robinson moment. let's just be very clear here. Jackie Robinson was a man of extraordinary courage who broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball in 1947 when doing so took unimaginable strength. Comparing Zoran Mamdani to Jackie Robinson? We've got to say, "whoa!"
42:30 And we finish of with some Words of Wisdom about being skeptical.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for October 29, 2025.
0:30 We unpack revelations that dozens of Biden’s executive actions — even some presidential pardons — may have been signed not by the president himself, but by an auto-pen. We trace the implications of this puppet presidency, where unelected handlers allegedly assumed the powers of the Oval Office. From Alexander Haig’s infamous “I’m in charge” moment to Mike Johnson’s firsthand account of Biden denying his own executive order, the discussion exposes a constitutional crisis — one that raises the chilling question: If Biden wasn’t governing, who was?
9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.

13:30 It’s not just about microchips — it’s about America. We break down Nvidia’s blockbuster announcement: seven new supercomputers for the U.S. Department of Energy, powered by 100,000 chips made in America. We connect the dots between Donald Trump’s promise to restore American manufacturing and a long-overdue comeback for U.S. industry.
16:00 We ask our American Mamas about a Halloween trend that has crossed the line. Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to reports of people dressing up as the assassinated Charlie Kirk — complete with fake blood and mock “Freedom” shirts — and their asking what has happened to empathy and decency in our culture?
We unpack the grotesque mockery, the social media applause fueling it, and the deeper spiritual sickness it reveals. Yet amid the outrage, we find a glimmer of hope — that what was meant for evil might still awaken hearts, spark conviction, and remind parents to teach their children compassion, not cruelty.

23:00 When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told NCAA champion Riley Gaines to “get a real job,” the backlash was swift — and heartfelt. We take a look at AOC’s dismissive comment and the deeper cultural divide it exposes about work and motherhood.
26:30 Nearly half of America’s state attorneys general are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to take up the birthright citizenship case — and they’re standing behind President Trump’s executive order to end automatic citizenship for children born to parents in the country illegally. We Dig Deep into the legal, historical, and moral arguments behind the 14th Amendment, tracing its roots back to the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the congressional debates that shaped it. From “birth tourism” to constitutional intent, this discussion dives into what citizenship truly means — and why it should never be a reward for breaking the law.

33:30 Something’s stirring in the heart of America — a renewed openness about faith. We reflect on a surprising and uplifting trend: more public figures, from commentators to professional athletes, are unapologetically sharing their belief in God. When New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields says he’s “low key addicted to reading [his] Bible every day,” it’s more than a soundbite — it’s a sign of cultural momentum. We unpack what this growing revival says about America’s roots, our hunger for truth, and the timeless reminder that our rights come from God, not government.
36:30 There’s a new bill in Ohio that’s sparking national attention, and it's a Bright Spot. The Charlie Kirk American Heritage Act would allow teachers from kindergarten through college to discuss Christianity’s influence on American history and culture. We break down how faith shaped the nation’s founding ideals — from the Declaration of Independence to the first schoolhouses that taught children to read from the Bible. Removing this history has left America divided and adrift, while restoring it could help heal the nation’s soul. Named in honor of Charlie Kirk, the bill is described as both a tribute to his legacy and a blueprint for renewal in classrooms across the country.
40:30 New York Assemblyman Zoran Mamdani is under fire for fabricating a personal story about his so-called “aunt” to bolster his image as a victim of post-9/11 prejudice. The incident fits a troubling pattern of misinformation and moral grandstanding on the left. And we're left wondering how any New Yorker could continue to support a candidate who’s been caught bending the truth for sympathy and power. It's time to say, "whoa!"
42:30 And we finish off with Natalie Gravile, a woman who finish the Ironman Traithlon in Hawaii at 80-years-old.

0:30 What drives the left’s obsession with Donald Trump? We're diagnosing Trump Derangement Syndrome—a political fever that’s gripped the media, the swamp, and much of Washington since the day Trump came down the golden escalator.
9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.

13:30 We tackle one of the most uncomfortable truths in American politics—how the same media that condemns conservative outrage excuses or even glorifies violence from the left. From riots and Molotov cocktails to threats against Supreme Court justices, political violence has become woven into the left’s playbook—and the double standard is impossible to ignore.
16:30 When Zohran Mamdani tearfully claimed his aunt was too afraid to ride the subway after 9/11, the media swooned—until the story fell apart. Our American Mamas, Terry Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, dig into the facts behind Mamdani’s emotional performance and uncover a troubling pattern of deception and radical associations. From his fabricated family story to his ties with an imam who calls America “filthy and sick,” the Mamas ask: how did this man become a rising star in New York politics—and why is the media looking the other way?

23:00 We break down Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s response to a question about funding for illegal aliens, exposing the left’s campaign to rewrite language and erase accountability. “Illegal alien” isn’t hate speech—it’s federal law. And when politicians start treating law as a moral insult, that’s when the rule of law itself is on the line.
26:00 We Dig Deep into the latest numbers from the Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial races, where early voting trends are defying every media narrative. In Virginia, Abigail Spanberger’s supposed seven-point lead over Winsome Earle-Sears isn’t showing up in the ballot box, as Republican strongholds surge in turnout while Democrat areas lag behind. And in New Jersey, the margins are even tighter than the pollsters want to admit. We break down what the data really means, why the NAACP’s endorsement of Spanberger over Sears exposes the left’s hypocrisy, and why Democrats may be facing another polling meltdown.

33:30 When is a pep talk more like a parody? When Joe Biden starts sounding like Stuart Smalley from Saturday Night Live. In this segment, we compare Biden’s latest “get up and fight” speech to Al Franken’s classic “Daily Affirmations,” arguing that the president’s rallying cry feels less like leadership and more like self-help gone wrong.
36:30 America turns 250 soon, and the Heritage Foundation is celebrating by helping us rediscover who we are — and where we came from. The foundation is working on a new project ranking historic sites across the country for their accuracy and authenticity, from Monticello to Gettysburg, and it's a Bright Spot. Unfortunately some landmarks are slipping in the ratings not because of poor preservation, but because of politics creeping into the storytelling. We dig into how ideological rewriting has distorted our view of figures like Washington, Jefferson, and even Lincoln — and why honest history still matters. From battlefields to presidential homes, history reminds us that America’s story isn’t perfect, but it’s good — and worth remembering.
40:30 Charlie Sheen — yes, that Charlie Sheen — just might be the voice of reason. On Bill Maher’s podcast, the Hollywood wild man took aim at the NFL’s choice of Bad Bunny for next year’s Super Bowl halftime show, calling it “off-putting for real football fans.” Charlie Sheen is onto. Football fans are saying, "Whoa."

0:30 Has James Carville finally gone off the deep end? We react to the “Ragin’ Cajun’s” shocking rant, where he fantasizes about shaving the heads of Trump supporters, dressing them in orange jumpsuits, and parading them down Pennsylvania Avenue to be spat upon. And we unpack the left’s obsession with public shaming and “thought crimes" and thechilling parallels to Orwell’s 1984 and the real-world silencing of conservatives during the COVID era.
9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.

13:30 We dig into the spiritual sickness spreading through half of America: a willful blindness where truth, logic, and reason no longer matter, only outrage. From Trump Derangement Syndrome to a culture that prizes victimhood over virtue, we explore how emotion has replaced truth on the left.
16:30 We ask American Mamas — Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson — how they can be okay with Donald Trump tearing down part of the White House. We unpack the latest round of media outrage, sparked by Trump’s privately funded ballroom project. From Chelsea Clinton’s dramatic tweets to Hakeem Jeffries’ call for an investigation, we dig into the hypocrisy surrounding presidential renovations. Nearly every president—from Teddy Roosevelt to Barack Obama—has left their mark on the White House. So why is it suddenly a scandal when President Trump does the same?
23:00 House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is endorsing Zoran Mamdani—a New York politician so far left, he makes Bernie Sanders look like Milton Friedman. We unpack Mamdani’s extremist rhetoric, including his call to “globalize the Intifada,” and what that really means for Jewish communities at home and abroad.
25:30 What exactly is the “Trump Doctrine”? It's simple: be nice to me, I’ll be nice to you — cross me, and you’ll regret it. We break down President Trump’s decision to hold off on deploying the National Guard to crime-ridden San Francisco after a respectful call from the city’s Democratic mayor, Daniel Lurie. It's a perfect example of Trump’s “tit-for-tat” strategy in action — strength tempered by reason, toughness balanced with generosity.

33:30 Canada just got a cold dose of the Trump Doctrine. We break down the fallout after Ontario Premier Doug Ford pulled a $75 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign that deceptively used Ronald Reagan’s words to attack U.S. tariffs. Turns out, the ad violated Canadian law — and when Trump found out, he didn’t just hit back, he shut down the negotiations altogether.
36:00 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From Trump flyingan F-16 and dumping poo on protestors, to a White House ballroom ball pit, and a Democrat Senate candidate's Nazi tattoo, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio.
40:30 As the media piles on ICE once again, we take a step back to ask a simple question: what’s to hate about enforcing the law? From sanctuary city standoffs to repeat offenders shielded by politics, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has become a symbol of accountability in an age of chaos. It's not cruelty — it’s common sense — and that Americans are finally saying “whoa” to open borders and lawlessness.
42:00 And we finish off with some words of wisdom about the White House.

0:30 We're sounding the alarm on China's sex warfare—a covert campaign of espionage waged through seduction, manipulation, and social media. According to new intelligence reports, the Chinese Communist Party, often in coordination with Russian operatives, is exploiting professional networks like LinkedIn to target American engineers, defense contractors, and innovators.

13:30 Socialist Zoran Mamdani is leading the New York City mayor race. But how can an anti-semitic Hamas sympathizer be winning in a city with the largest Jewish population outside of Israel? And should Curtis Sliwa stay in the race despite the polls?
17:00 We got a question in for our American Mamas — Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson. They tackle a viral comment from former White House press secretary Jen Psaki, who claimed that Usha Vance—the wife of Vice President J.D. Vance—is a “prisoner who needs to be saved.” The mamas don’t hold back, calling Psaki’s remark ridiculous, bitter, and proof of lingering “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

23:00 In a moment that no one saw coming, Bernie Sanders just sounded more like Donald Trump than a democratic socialist. The self-proclaimed “godfather of the modern left”—who once hailed open borders as a moral imperative—has now admitted that Trump handled immigration better than Joe Biden.
25:00 We welcome back Ben Schettler, founder of the Center for Truth in Love, who’s taken his message of faith and reason into some of America’s most hostile environments.Following in the footsteps of the late Charlie Kirk, Shetler has been setting up open-forum booths on college campuses and in major cities—only to be met with anger, chaos, and even violence. We discuss the disturbing new normal in public discourse, where faith and facts are drowned out by emotion and intimidation. Shetler reveals evidence of paid agitators and pre-printed protest signs, raising serious questions about who’s funding the outrage.

33:30 We break down the radical sanctuary policies threatening to turn New York City into a safe haven for criminal illegal aliens. From the ICE arrests in Chinatown to Zohran Mamdani’s calls to defund the NYPD, we're seeing the growing chaos of a system that protects offenders over citizens.
36:30 Plus, King Charles III met with Pope Leo XIV in Rome—marking the first meeting between the heads of the Church of England and the Catholic Church in nearly five centuries, and that's a Bright Spot. a closer look at this extraordinary encounter, tracing it back to Henry VIII’s break from Rome and the centuries-long divide that followed. What does this moment of unity mean for Christianity today? Is it merely symbolic, or a genuine step toward reconciliation between two of the world’s largest Christian traditions?
40:30 The NBA finds itself caught in a scandal that could shake professional sports to its core. The Department of Justice says team organizations had no direct involvement—but coaches and players are now under fire for allegedly sharing insider information tied to illegal gambling rings involving the Lakers, Hornets, Trailblazers, and Raptors. Trust is the lifeblood of professional sports. Once the trust is gone... the game is gone. The NBA needs to put it's foot down and say, "Whoa."

0:30 In a Fox News interview Congresswoman Katherine Clark, the Democratic Whip, openly admitted that a potential government shutdown gives her party “leverage.” Clark’s comments reveal the Democrats’ willingness to let American families, military workers, and small businesses suffer for political advantage—turning a crisis into a bargaining chip.

13:30 We talk about the Democratice Party's true motive — using American hardship as a political weapon. They hammer home that millions of Americans stand to lose access to SNAP benefits due to the shutdown, not because of fiscal necessity, but because Democrats,see suffering as opportunity.
16:30 We ask the American Mamas: Can you be Black and MAGA? Inspired by a viral video from the recent “No Kings” protest, the Mamas discuss a heated exchange between a Black Trump supporter and a white leftist protester—a confrontation that exposes the hypocrisy and racism of the modern left.
Rising Black conservative voices like Wesley Hunt, Byron Donalds, and Tim Scott are proof that patriotism and principle—not political pressure—define identity. Yet, these leaders are vilified instead of celebrated simply because they stand on the right.
If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button.
23:30 We react to Chuck Schumer's latest attempt to spin the ongoing government shutdown. Schumer blasted the continued construction of the new White House ballroom as proof of misplaced priorities—tweeting, “Yes to ballrooms, no to healthcare for Americans.”
25:30 And we Dig Deep into a new Breitbart article about Leah Thomas, the former University of Pennsylvania swimmer who continues to defend taking titles from female athletes. Quoting Thomas’s recent PBS interview—“It’s easier to fight the world than to fight yourself”—we unpack the deeper moral and cultural implications behind that statement.
Thomas’s mindset reveals a wider spiritual and societal problem—a refusal to confront inner struggle and personal responsibility. The transgender movement’s rejection of self-discipline and truth—and giving in to confusion or pain rather than confronting it—leads to broader harm.

33:30 We dive into escalating tensions between the United States and Russia following the Trump administration’s latest sanctions announcement. With a planned Trump - Putin meeting in Hungary canceled, we see signs of a deepening rift—and a new phase of instability in U.S.–Russia relations.
36:00 Plus, Japan elected it's first female prime minister, Sanae Takeuchi. And that's a Bright Spot, not because she's a woman, but because she's a conservative. Takeuchi brings experience and a bold vision shaped by her mentor, the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, and her admiration for Margaret Thatcher, whom she calls her political role model. Her speeches—emphasizing sovereignty, national pride, and family values—remind us of President Donald Trump, who is inspiring a new generation of unapologetically patriotic and conservative leaders around the world.
40:30 Once seen as the heir apparent to lead the Democratic Party, Gavin Newsom now finds himself trailing Kamala Harris by double digits. The poll reflects a deeper problem within the Democratic bench: a lack of fresh leadership and coherent vision. The party is stale, and they've got to have someone else that is going to step forward. Or the American people are just going to say, "Whoa."

0:30 We unpack the outrage over President Trump’s renovation of the White House ballroom — a story the left has spun into claims that he’s “bulldozing history.” Have they forgotten that every president has updated the White House—from Teddy Roosevelt’s West Wing to Nixon’s press room and Obama’s basketball court?

13:30 We're seeing record deportation numbers under President Trump. While roughly half a million illegal immigrants were forcibly removed, 1.6 million chose to self-deport — proof of Trump’s effective and efficient approach to immigration enforcement.
17:00 And we ask the American Mamas—Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson— if they are going to read Karine Jean-Pierre's new book. The Mamas unpack Jean-Pierre’s media tour and the backlash that followed her “broken White House” claim. But there is a contradiction — Jean-Pierre served under Biden, yet insists the “broken” White House refers to Trump’s term. The Mamas also highlight her repeated references to race and sexuality in interviews, suggesting that identity, not merit, defined her tenure as press secretary.

23:00 We take a look at Colombian President Gustavo Petro's demand for Donald Trump’s removal from office. Colombia has long benefited from billions in U.S. aid, trade, and military support, only to now criticize the very policies protecting America’s borders and curbing the drug trade.
26:00 We Dig Deep into the media’s backlash to the new Pentagon press rules issued by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth — and we aren't buying the outrage. The updates, effective October 15th, include tighter restrictions on journalist movement inside the Pentagon, new escort requirements, U.S.-citizen-only press badges, and enforcement of long-standing rules against unauthorized information release. While major outlets walked out in protest — calling the policy “dictatorial” — these are common-sense security measures, no different from those in schools or corporate buildings. So what is the media really so upset about?
32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20.
33:30 There is a growing culture of quitting in America. Reporters are walking out of the Pentagon over new press rules and celebrities are vowing to leave the U.S. whenever elections don’t go their way. But perseverance — not retreat — is fundamental to the American spirit, and walking away in protest reflects the victim mindset on the left.
36:30 We just had another round of the "No Kings" protests, but we don't have anyone who's trying to become king in American. And that's a Bright Spot. The "No Kings" movement misses a fundamental truth: America was deliberately built to reject kingship altogether. The Founding Fathers saw monarchy as the root of tyranny and believed power should rest with ordinary citizens, not elites or hereditary rulers.
40:30 Socialist Zohran Mamdani is leading candidate in New York City's mayoral race. Curtis Sliwa faces mounting pressure to drop out, but he is saying "Whoa!"
42:30 And we finish off with construction on the Pantheon in Greece.

0:30 We break down a major ruling from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals — one that upholds President Trump’s authority to deploy the National Guard to restore order in lawless cities like Portland. Once mocked as the Ninth Circus for its liberal rulings, the court now features Trump-appointed judges who have brought a dose of constitutional sanity back to the bench.

13:30 We react to breaking news reports out of Palm Beach, where authorities discovered what they describe as a “sniper’s nest” overlooking the area where Air Force One routinely lands. While the media downplays it as a “hunting stand,” the setup — positioned near the airport with a clear line of sight to where President Trump exits the plane — looks far too deliberate to dismiss.
16:30 And we ask the American Mamas about Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's now-viral “No Fatties” speech. The Mamas debate whether Hegseth’s fiery address was rehearsed for social media or a genuine challenge to the armed forces, but they agree on one thing: the message struck a chord.

23:30 Thanks to immigration enforcement under President Trump, more than two million illegal aliens have been deported or have voluntarily departed since he took office. Seven in ten of those deported reportedly had criminal convictions or pending charges.
26:00 We Dig Deep into the growing tension inside CBS News after Paramount appointed Bari Weiss—the outspoken journalist and founder of The Free Press—as head of the network’s news division. Her arrival has shaken up the newsroom, where longtime reporters reportedly bristled at her challenge: “Why does the country think you’re biased?”

33:30 We turn our focus to the New York City mayoral race, where Zoran Mamdani, a self-proclaimed socialist with open admiration for Marxist ideals, is leading the polls. With Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa trailing far behind, we wrestle with a question that’s both political and moral: Do we really get what we deserve?
36:30 Plus, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld President Trump’s authority to deploy the National Guard to U.S. cities, and that's a Bright Spot. This isn't just a victory or Trump, but a restoration of constitutional balance between the executive branch and the courts. For years federal judges have tried to restrict Republican presidents from enforcing the law, but this decision signals a shift back toward executive responsibility.
40:30 Clinton-era strategist James Carville is sounding more like a conservative than a Democrat. Carville recently blasted politicians who support letting men compete in women’s sports, accusing them of pandering to what he calls “left-wing zombies” and destroying the dignity and dreams of female athletes. Even Carville sees how the American People are rejecting the Democrat Party, and he's saying, "Whoa!"

0:30 We break down what Speaker Mike Johnson has to say about the "No Kings" rallies — demonstrations the Speaker calls nothing more than “hate America” protests in disguise. These events aren’t about defending democracy at all, but about denouncing Donald Trump and rejecting the very ideals that built the United States.

13:30 We dive into the fiery New York City mayoral debate between Mondami, Cuomo, and Sliwa, and the political storm brewing around it. President Trump may hold all the leverage, with hundreds of millions in federal funds that he could — and likely will — withhold if New York City elects communist Mondami.
16:30 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the question: Did you kick your kids out of the house when they turned 18? Their answer — a resounding no. The mamas share why they believe keeping grown children at home, at least for a while, isn’t coddling — it’s setting them up for success.
They talk about the challenges facing today’s young adults, from the cost of living to the broken housing market, and how strong families can be the safety net that helps the next generation thrive. Along the way, they contrast American independence with other cultures’ deep sense of family connection and reverence for elders, asking why the U.S. so often pushes both its kids and its elderly away.

23:00 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Appearance showed up at the White House — notably — in a suit this time. It’s a shift from his usual olive-green military tees, and we can’t help but notice.
25:30 Plus, we Dig Deep into the narrative that “crime is down” in America and whether the FBI’s crime data tells the full story. While President Trump moves to deploy the National Guard to fight rising violence in major cities, Democrats point to FBI statistics claiming the opposite. But another federal source — the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ Crime Victimization Survey — paints a very different picture. According to that survey, violent crime actually rose in 2024, especially among young people, even as rural areas saw declines. So what’s causing the disconnect?

33:30 We unpack the Wall Street reaction to President Trump’s announcement of a 100% tariff on Chinese goods—a move that briefly rattled the markets before his clarification sent stocks rebounding. But this isn’t about chaos—it’s about strategy. Trump is once again using tariffs as a negotiating weapon to put pressure on Beijing, especially as China tightens its grip on the rare-earth metals market—the key to everything from smartphones to fighter jets.
36:30 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news?

40:30 Fromanti-Semitic rhetoric to anti-American ideology, Zohran Mamdani isn’t an outlier — he’s the new face of the Democratic mainstream. This isn’t just about one candidate, it’s about a party that’s lost its moral compass. And we have to say, "Whoa!"
42:30 And we finish off with the world's longest name.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 16, 2025.
0:30 We take a look at Hillary Clinton. She is calling on Americans to “push back on Trump’s power grabs” and join the so-called No Kings protest. The irony isn’t lost on us — no one has acted more like political royalty than the Clintons themselves. From renting out the Lincoln Bedroom to treating the presidency like a family heirloom, Hillary’s long been the face America’s “political aristocracy.”
9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.
12:30 Get Brain Reward from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20.
13:30 We ask the American Mamas about the return of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. We recall how the brand went “woke” in 2021, pivoting from its iconic Angels to a lineup meant to highlight achievement and diversity—fronted by Megan Rapinoe. Now, with the 2025 show bringing back the supermodel aesthetic, it looks like Victoria’s Secret has rediscovered what made it a cultural powerhouse: celebrating classic femininity, beauty, and confidence.

23:00 We welcome back filmmaker and author Dinesh D’Souza to discuss his latest project, The Dragon’s Prophecy—a sweeping new film that blends biblical prophecy, archaeology, and modern geopolitics. Based on Jonathan Cahn’s book of the same name, D’Souza’s film explores the spiritual and historical forces shaping the Middle East, drawing striking parallels between ancient battles and contemporary conflicts.

33:30 We react to a viral comment from sports radio personality Craig Carton, who declared that “nobody cares about women’s basketball.” His claim sparks a spirited back-and-forth—are fans really invested in the WNBA, or just in breakout stars like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese?
36:30 Capitalism is a Bright Spot. It's such a Bright Spot, that the best place to live as a socialist is in a capitalist country. Capitalism's defining strength isfreedom of choice—including the freedom to live by socialist ideals if you so choose. From the Uber driver who owns their own car to the entrepreneur building a shared company, capitalism makes voluntary socialism possible—without government force.
40:30 10 high schools in California are forfeiting their girls volleyball games. Why? One team has a male player who left one promising female athlete with a career-ending concussion. These schools are not saying why they are forfeiting. The only thing that they're telling the other team is, "Whoa!"
42:30 And we finish off with some words of wisdom about socialism.

0:30 We tackle a fiery moment from the U.S. Supreme Court as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s comments ignite debate over race, equality, and the limits of government intervention. Have America’s efforts to “fix” racism through legislation—like the Voting Rights Act and redistricting—gone too far?
9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.

13:30 The conversation turns to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s comparison between the Voting Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. We question the logic of equating race with disability and explore what equality truly means in a constitutional sense.
16:30 We ask the American Mamas about the ceremony where Charlie Kirk was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The Mamas share their admiration for Erica Kirk’s extraordinary strength and grace in the face of loss — and for a president who made it a priority to honor her husband’s legacy.
If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button.
23:00 When is upholding “international law” really just targeting America’s allies? That's exactly what’s happening when New York City mayoral candidate Zoran Mamdani calls for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
25:30 We Dig Deep into a new report from the Center for Heterodox Social Science that shows that trans and queer identification among college students has nearly cut in half since 2023. The trend exposes the social — not biological — roots of gender ideology, pointing to lockdown-era isolation, TikTok influence, and a mental-health crisis among teens. From “social contagion” to cultural correction, we wonder if Gen Z is quietly walking away from one of the most aggressive social experiments in modern history.

33:30 We unpack a new study showing 42% of liberals — and a staggering 60% of liberals under 30 — consider breaking the law acceptable when protecting undocumented immigrants from deportation.
36:00 Plus, we are in the middle of a revival in this country, arguably the biggest Christian revival in our lifetimes, and that's a huge Bright Spot. It gained momentum after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Bible sales, religious app downloads, and Christian music streaming are all on the rise, and long-time believers and newcomers alike are posting online about returning to church, seeking community, and finding renewed faith.
40:30 Barack Obama is supporting California Governor Gavin Newsom and accusing Republicans of wanting to steal seats. Yet California is one of the most, if not the most, gerrymandered state in the country. And Barack Obama wants you to think that it's the Republicans that are trying to steal the election? We gotta say, "Whoa."

0:30 When is a peace plan not a peace plan? When Joe Biden and Antony Blinken try to take credit for one. We break down the White House’s response to the recent Gaza ceasefire and why President Trump’s strength and clarity paved the way for real progress—while Biden’s foreign policy blunders left chaos in their wake. From Afghanistan to Israel, from Operation Warp Speed to diplomatic déjà vu, we dive into the pattern of political plagiarism from the Biden administration.
9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.

13:30 We unpack the escalating persecution of Christians in Nigeria and China—atrocities that the mainstream media refuses to confront. From the daily slaughter of believers by Islamist militants in Nigeria to China’s state-sanctioned rewriting of the Bible, faith itself is under global assault.
16:30 Plus, Chelsea Clinton has a podcast — but should she? We ask the American Mamas— Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson— for their take.
The Mamas dive into a clip from Clinton’s show — a slow, meandering discussion about “misinformation” and vaccines — and they can’t help but wonder if anyone’s still awake by the end. Is Clinton's podcast a breakthrough or just another echo from inside the same political bubble?
If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button.
23:00 We discuss America’s snack obsession — and the news that Frito-Lay is phasing out artificial dyes from classics like Doritos and Cheetos.
26:00 “No Kings” rallies are back, but it's not quite clear who's funding them. We Dig Deep into just how “grassroots” these rallies really are — and who’s footing the bill. From recycled George Floyd-era protest tactics to reports of bail funds and arson chatter, the movement isn’t about rejecting monarchy at all — it’s about rejecting democracy. But the timing may be the biggest twist: internal documents suggest Democrats could be prolonging the government shutdown just long enough to stage-manage these rallies, complete with furloughed federal workers as props.

33:30 From fighter jets to fentanyl — the new “Top Gun” has gone rogue. Ukraine’s “Kill House Academy,” a so-called Top Gun school for drone warfare, is attracting an unexpected kind of recruit: members of Latin American drug cartels. We break down how this unholy alliance between wartime innovation and cartel ambition could reshape the battlefield — and the border.
36:00 Plus, Young George Washington, the upcoming Angel Studios film, is premiering just in time for the nation's 250th birthday, and that's a Bright Spot. Featuring an all-star cast including Ben Kingsley, Mary-Louise Parker, Kelsey Grammer, and Andy Serkis, it might just be the patriotic movie America needs right now.
40:30 Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel are admitting it: Donald Trump earned respect. After Trump’s decisive approach to Middle East diplomacy, even his biggest critics are saying, "Whoa."
42:30 And we finish off with a basketball team with integrity, even when it means losing.

0:30 A federal judge has ruled that President Trump cannot deploy the National Guard to defend ICE facilities from violent attacks. What happens when unelected judges can stop a president from protecting federal property and law enforcement officers?
10:00 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.

13:30 We react to a trending story about mixed orientation marriages — where one spouse identifies as straight and the other as gay. As the media celebrates these unions as a modern evolution of love, we have to ask: Is this genuine commitment, or a social experiment built on identity labels?
16:30 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to the emotional videos of Israeli hostages being reunited with their families — scenes of joy, relief, and divine grace that have moved millions around the world. The Mamas reflect on the faith, perseverance, and leadership that made these reunions possible, giving thanks to God and recognizing the unlikely figures — from President Trump to Jared Kushner — who helped open the door to peace.
If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button.
23:30 We tackle the latest internet chatter surrounding Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, and the Middle East — including wild claims that the former president wants to turn Gaza into a luxury resort lined with Trump hotels. Is there truth to it, or just more conspiracy fuel?
26:30 We Dig Deep into Katie Porter’s latest political missteps and what they mean for her gubernatorial ambitions in California. From a tense interview where she threatened to walk out, to resurfaced videos of her berating staffers, we analyze how Porter’s abrasive reputation is affecting her standing with voters. We also explore the double standards in political coverage—how media perception can differ based on gender—and what her history of anger management issues might mean for her future in politics.

33:30 Representative Ilhan Omar has endorsed Somali-American candidate Omar Fateh for mayor of Minneapolis — a self-described democratic socialist. We unpack what this endorsement reveals about the shifting political landscape in Minnesota, and how decades of demographic and cultural changes have shaped the city’s identity.
36:00 We take a look at Marco Rubio’s tenure as Secretary of State and his transformation from political rival to key diplomat in the Trump administration. We discuss his approach to America First foreign policy, his effectiveness compared to historical Secretaries of State like Thomas Jefferson, James Baker, and George Marshall, and contrast him with recent officeholders.
40:30 Speaker Mike Johnson took to the microphone today, declaring what he says many Americans already feel — that the Democratic Party has lost its direction. Even a couple of Democrats are straying from the main message and saying, “Whoa!”
42:00 And we finish off with some words of wisdom from Chirstopher Columbus.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 10, 2025.
0:30 We respond to a wave of chilling incidents that expose how violent rhetoric is spilling out of politics and onto our streets and campuses. From the horrific threat mailed to commentator Benny Johnson and flyers distributed at Georgetown University mocking Charlie Kirk's death to Jay Jones' disturbing text messages where he fantasized about shooting a GOP leader. Normalizing threats and celebrating violence erodes democratic debate, endangers everyday people, and invites escalation — and we challenge public figures, media, and institutions to condemn violence plainly and without excuses.

13:30 We break down President Trump’s decision to raise tariffs on Chinese goods from 30% to 100%, a massive escalation in the ongoing trade and technology standoff with Beijing.
16:30 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a question that hits home for many conservative parents:
“Dear Mamas, we’re conservative. Our grown children have bought into the leftist nonsense full force. Help!”
The Mamas dive deep into the emotional struggle of watching children abandon their family’s values and faith, and they remind listeners that while the world may divide us politically, faith, love, and prayer can bridge any gap.
If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button.
23:00 We take a hard look at the chaos unfolding in New York City’s mayoral race.
25:30 We Dig Deep into this year's Nobel Peace Prize — and why President Donald Trump didn’t win it, despite a long list of international peace deals under his watch.
The 2025 Nobel Committee awarded the prize to María Corina Machado, a Venezuelan opposition leader fighting for democracy against the Maduro regime. While her courage is praised, we question why the Nobel Committee overlooked the tangible peace achievements credited to Trump.

33:30 We dive into free speech on college campuses, spotlighting a controversial petition at Rutgers University to ban Turning Point USA from campus.The irony? The group being targeted is the one promoting open dialogue and free expression — and one of the loudest voices supporting the ban is reportedly an associate professor of Christianity.
36:00 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From the Nobel Peace Prize and the cease fire between Israel and Hamas, to Jeffrey Epstein, Vladimir Putin, and even paragliding into a campaign event, can you spot the fake news?

40:30 And we finish off with Melania Trump's letter to Vladimir Putin that will make you say, "Whoa."

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for October 9, 2025.
0:30 We dive into new revelations about the Palisades Fire in California, now confirmed to have been set intentionally by an arsonist — not caused by climate change, as many headlines first claimed. We break down how federal investigators linked the suspect — a 29-year-old local with a history of threats and instability — to one of the most destructive wildfires in U.S. history.
9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.

13:30 We return from New York City — the heart of Italian-American culture — just in time for Columbus Day. We dive into President Trump’s declaration that “It’s Columbus Day, period. End of story.”, pushing back on efforts to rebrand it as Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
16:30 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a listener question: What's wrong with Portland? From Antifa protests and ICE riots to a surprising personal story from inside the city, the mamas explore how Portland became a symbol of far-left activism — and why that image may be starting to shift.
If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button.
23:00 We break down the latest in the New York City mayor’s race, focusing on Democratic Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani and his sweeping campaign promises — from freezing rent and city-owned grocery stores to fare-free public transit and a $30 minimum wage. The discussion explores how these policies could reshape New York’s economy and why critics say they would push the city further toward socialism.
25:30 We sit down with Curtis Sliwa, the Republican nominee for mayor of New York City and founder of the Guardian Angels, to talk about his decades-long fight to restore public safety and common sense to the Big Apple.
Sliwa shares his firsthand experience patrolling the streets since the 1970s, reflects on how civic education has vanished from schools, and warns against the rise of socialist “free everything” policies championed by his opponent. From tackling fare evasion and crime to restoring accountability and respect for law enforcement, Sliwa lays out his vision for a safer, more responsible New York.

33:30 We react toTrevor Noah’s controversial comments about the tragic death of Charlie Kirk, calling out the growing hypocrisy in how the media and political elites treat violence across the aisle. They discuss how the mainstream left excuses cruelty when aimed at conservatives, why true compassion requires consistency, and what this moment says about America’s cultural divide.
36:30 Plus, a new Harvard Harris poll shows rising approval ratings for Republicans, and that's a Bright Spot. We break down the latest approval ratings showing Charlie Kirk (+16) and Erica Kirk (+14) leading the nation, with Republicans dominating the only positive approval scores in America. Meanwhile, Democrats — and even Vladimir Putin — sink to the bottom.
What’s driving the divide? We dig into why Americans are rallying behind authentic leaders who take a stand, not politicians who chase headlines. From RFK Jr. to Mike Johnson, it’s about conviction over calculation, and why voters are tired of finger-to-the-wind politics.
40:30 We react to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s controversial response when asked whether an undocumented immigrant who committed a violent crime should be deported. Johnson’s refusal to answer will make you say, "Whoa!"
42:30 And we finish off with a couple's vacation to Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for October 8, 2025. We are broadcasting to you from the studios of AM970 The Answer from the Salem Media Network in New York City.
0:30 We dive into New York’s rising socialist movement and the mayoral ambitions of Zoran Mamdani, the self-proclaimed “Democratic Socialist” candidate who wants to freeze rents, eliminate the NYPD, and replace them with a Department of Community Safety. We break down how Mamdani’s proposals — from city-owned grocery stores to free public transit — would reshape the economy, housing, and public safety across the five boroughs.
From rent control’s failed history to the growing theft crisis in New York pharmacies, we explore what happens when ideology replaces practicality — and why capitalism and personal responsibility remain essential to America’s success.
9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.

13:30 Tensions rise as Russia warns of “irreparable damage” to U.S.–Russian relations following the United States’ decision to send Tomahawk missiles to Kiev. We unpack the latest developments in the Russia–Ukraine conflict and discuss what this means for U.S. diplomacy, global stability, and the Trump administration’s foreign policy strategy.
16:30 Our American Mamas — Terry Nettelville and Kimberly Burleson — react to reports that Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman are headed for divorce. The mamas unpack why this celebrity breakup has struck a chord with so many fans and explore the deeper issues behind high-profile relationships.
From balancing fame and family to the emotional toll of on-screen intimacy and time apart, the conversation turns candid and relatable. Are Hollywood marriages doomed by distance and demanding careers?

23:00 Sen. Paul says tariffs are “killing” industries like family farming, bourbon production, and cargo transport, but we take a deeper look at whether that pain is temporary — and perhaps even necessary. Are tariffs the economic medicine America needs after decades of free trade deals that hollowed out U.S. manufacturing?
26:30 We Dig Deep into new revelations about Joe Biden’s corruption during his time as vice president — and the media’s continued silence about it. Leaked and recently declassified emails suggest that Biden intervened to suppress a CIA report that detailed his 2015 trip to Ukraine — the same trip where he allegedly pressured officials to fire a prosecutor investigating Burisma, the energy company tied to his son, Hunter Biden.
We break down what the CIA called “evidence of a double standard” in U.S. corruption policy and how Biden’s actions may have crossed the line from politics to personal gain.

33:30 After receiving a street pamphlet calling to “End the Chinese Communist Party,” we discuss the dangers of communism, both abroad and at home. From China and Cuba to New York City’s own socialist mayoral candidate Zoran Mamdani, the hosts argue that communism destroys prosperity, freedom, and human potential — replacing opportunity with control and equality with enforced poverty.
36:30 Plus, the iconic Sharpie marker is now made almost entirely in the USA, thanks to a major investment by Newell Brands in their Tennessee manufacturing plant, and that's a Bright Spot.
This isn’t just about a pen. It’s about American craftsmanship, self-reliance, and proving that Made in the USA still pays off. We break down how Sharpie’s story symbolizes a broader shift toward onshoring — as more companies rediscover the value of investing in American workers instead of outsourcing abroad.
40:30 And we finish off with a dog that will make you say, "Whoa!"

0:30 We kick off today's episode with rising threats against the U.S. Supreme Court and the erosion of respect for law and order. From the near-assassination attempt on Justice Brett Kavanaugh to President Biden’s past comments on court reform, we trace a dangerous trend of intimidation against the judiciary and warn what’s at stake for the Constitution itself.

13:30 We break down Speaker Mike Johnson’s fiery press conference and his firm but measured leadership style. Despite critics calling him too soft, Johnson delivered a calm “master class” in conservative conviction—standing on principle, not personality. We unpack how Speaker Johnson’s quiet strength and fact-based approach are reshaping the tone in Washington and frustrating Democrats who want political theater over progress.
16:00 Who’s wearing the Cringe Crown this week? Our American Mamas—Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson—hand out their signature award for the week’s most awkward, out-of-touch moments in politics and pop culture. This time, the whole Left takes the crown after a meme war gone wrong. From Trump’s viral sombrero meme to Hakeem Jeffries’ attempted comeback and Gavin Newsom’s painfully unfunny JD Vance edit, the Mamas break down why conservative humor hits while leftist memes fall flat.

23:00 A New Jersey-bound flight takes a bizarre turn after an unhinged passenger—wearing twelve face masks—starts shouting that “gay people are giving me cancer” and “Trump is here.” On today’s American Ground Radio, we talk about how incidents like this point to a much deeper problem in America: our growing mental health crisis.
26:30 Leaked text messages reveal Democrat candidate Jay Jones joked about murdering the Republican Speaker of the House and wishing harm on his wife and children. Even more disturbing—Jones admitted to sending the texts, and yet Democrat leaders are still standing by him.
We Dig Deep the moral decay behind this story, ask why the media isn’t holding Jones accountable, and draw a stark contrast between real leadership and political extremism.

33:30 Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has declared his city an “ICE-free zone,” effectively banning federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from operating in Chicago. But can a mayor really defy federal law?
36:00 Plus, we will be joining an all-star lineup for the New York City Mayor’s Race Town Hall, hosted by Salem Media Group and streaming live on Eventbrite. This upcoming mayoral election could shape politics nationwide—especially as progressive candidate Mamdani pushes radical ideas like city-run grocery stores and legalized prostitution. We explain why New York’s political direction matters far beyond city limits and what it means for America’s financial and cultural future.
40:30 We dive into the latest twist in U.S. foreign policy — former President Donald Trump’s surprising announcement that he plans to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and may consider sending long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. President Trump seems to be onto Putin, and when he uses his “you treat me badly, I'll treat you worse than could possibly imagine” policy, Putin's gonna say, "Whoa."

0:30 A federal judge just handed down a major ruling striking at the heart of executive overreach — declaring that Presidents Obama and Biden violated federal law by imposing indefinite bans on offshore drilling without approval from Congress.
In this episode of American Ground Radio, we unpack what this means for energy independence, Louisiana jobs, and the constitutional limits of presidential power. We take a look at how Barack Obama’s sweeping offshore drilling ban — later reinstated by Joe Biden — bypassed Congress under the guise of “climate change,” and how Judge James Cain of Louisiana just called both administrations out for it.

13:30 For generations, Americans were told that a college degree was the golden ticket — the surest path to success and the American Dream. But is that still true today? We ask the hard question: Has higher education lost its value?
We discuss how college degrees no longer guarantee opportunity, how sky-high tuition and woke campuses have transformed universities from engines of prosperity into echo chambers of ideology. And we break down recent studies showing that many graduates are struggling to find meaningful work — especially those holding degrees with little real-world value.
16:30 We ask the American Mamas — Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson — if they are cancelling their Netflix. After Elon Musk called on families to cancel Netflix subscriptions, the Mamas break down the controversy surrounding children’s cartoons that include explicit or confusing sexual themes, including a recent animated show that has sparked outrage.
We discuss how parents are fighting back by choosing classic, wholesome programming from the ’90s and early 2000s — and how Hollywood’s obsession with “representation” is crossing the line into social engineering for kids.

23:00 We dive into the latest New York Times poll showing that a majority of Americans support deporting illegal immigrants—a stance long championed by President Donald Trump. From law enforcement to immigration policy, we unpack what this means for the ongoing debate over border security, government enforcement, and public opinion versus political narratives.
25:30 We Dig Deep into escalating Antifa violence in Portland and the troubling response—or lack thereof—from local authorities. Independent journalist Nick Sorter reports being arrested after intervening in an act of flag burning, while Antifa agitators go uncharged. Another journalist, Katie Davis Corp, was violently attacked but the assailant was released by police. ICE officials confirm that local law enforcement often fails to respond effectively, citing political and legal constraints. Attorney General Pam Bondi has now launched a criminal investigation into Portland police practices for potential civil rights abuses.

33:30 A pastor traveling through Dallas Fort Worth Airport encountered an issue at the airport chapel, which is intended to be non-denominational. Upon trying to enter to pray, he was initially prevented because several Muslims were using the space for prayer and was later offered a chair in the back and asked to remove his shoes. We discuss this situation and the importance of mutual respect for religious freedom in shared spaces.
36:30 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news?

40:30 We discuss breaking news about Hamas agreeing to a deal — negotiated by President Trump — to release the remaining hostages from the October 7, 2023 terror attack on Israel. Hamas has agreed to release hostages before, but President Trump is holding them accountable this time. And if they don't agree to all of it by Sunday at 6 p.m., they need to be saying, "Whoa."
42:30 And we finish off with some words of wisdom about smaller government.

0:30 For decades, Mexico wagged its finger at the U.S., joining Democrats and open-border activists in calling Americans “racist” and “xenophobic” for wanting secure borders. But now the tables have turned. A caravan of over a thousand migrants—Cubans, Haitians, Venezuelans, and more—has set its sights not on Texas, but on Mexico City.
We break down the irony: migrants demanding jobs, housing, and welfare in Mexico after years of Mexico enabling caravans to march north through their country. From remittance dollars fueling Mexico’s economy to the cartels profiting from human misery, we explain why Mexico is now paying the price for decades of exporting illegal immigration.
9:55 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.

13:30 This week, CNN did something it never seems to do to Democrats: it cut off House Speaker Mike Johnson live on air—right as he was explaining why the government shut down. Johnson was accusing Senate Democrats of rejecting a “clean” continuing resolution and demanding taxpayer-funded health care for illegal immigrants. CNN quickly interrupted him, “fact-checking” the claim in real time and moving back to its New York studio. When was the last time CNN cut off Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi mid-sentence to “correct” them?
16:30 We ask the American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson about the leftist who refused to hire a man because he support President Donald Trump. The Mamas to the viral video of the Texas business owner who proudly declared he would never hire a Trump supporter, and they unpack his claims about “resisting oppression,” refusing service, and comparing conservative beliefs to hate speech.

23:00 We pull back the curtain on the Hollywood–Wall Street complex — the entertainment elites who believe they can flood your living room with leftist propaganda without consequence. We zero in on Netflix, the streaming giant that's pushing inappropriate, hyper-edgy content and even “grooming” kids with shows aimed at very young audiences. Netflix is losing customers and their stock is plummeting.
26:00 We Dig Deep into the ongoing government shutdown and the real reason behind it that big media doesn’t want you to know. While CNN, MSNBC, and other outlets insist Democrats aren’t pushing healthcare for illegal immigrants, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report tells a very different story.

33:30 We respond to Pope Leo XIV’s latest remarks on climate change and his indirect shots at President Trump and the Republican Party. Why has the Vatican has embraced climate alarmism and political rhetoric instead of focusing on faith and scripture?
36:40 The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) passed a resolution calling for more civility in political rhetoric, and that's a Bright Spot. The resolution warns that incendiary language from elected officials and community leaders has fueled violence against law enforcement, government officials, and the public.

0:30 In a massive Illinois ICE operation called Operation Midway Blitz, over 800 illegal alien criminals were arrested in one coordinated sweep.These weren’t first-time visa overstays. We’re talking about gang members, drug traffickers, sexual predators, and violent offenders—people no community should be forced to live next to. Yet, thanks to Illinois’ sanctuary policies, these criminals were shielded from removal until federal agents stepped in. We break down the operation and why the stakes are so high for Americans and our safety.

We also dive into the controversy surrounding the Archdiocese of Chicago honoring Senator Dick Durbin, a Catholic politician who openly supports abortion, with a “lifetime achievement award.”
16:30 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson about parents who put their kids in travel sports. Are they just living vicariously through their kids? Our American Mamas say there’s a lot more to the story. From the sacrifices families make, to the friendships built on the road, to the competitive edge required just to make a Texas high school team, travel sports can be a pathway to scholarships, memories, and life lessons.

23:00 In Memphis, President Trump has deployed the National Guard alongside federal agents—working with Tennessee’s Republican Governor Bill Lee—to crack down on violent crime. Within just 48 hours, the operation led to 53 arrests and 20 illegal guns seized.
But instead of welcoming the results, Democrats remain silent—or outright protest. Why? We break down why the left won’t credit Trump’s actions, the political games behind crime and safety, and how real families in Memphis are the ones who stand to benefit.
26:45 New voter registration data from Decision Desk HQ reveals a stunning shift: since Election Day last year, over 2.1 million names have been purged from U.S. voter rolls. We Dig Deep into what the numbers really mean, why voter roll maintenance matters, and how the push for automatic registration could be fueling fraudulent enrollments. We also examine why Democrats resist voter ID laws, the risks to election integrity, and how trust in the system erodes when the numbers don’t add up.

33:30 The Biden-era green agenda just took a major hit — and it’s Democrats’ own fault. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has announced the cancellation of $8 billion in green energy funding, wiping out a huge chunk of what critics call “slush funds for climate activists.” Democrats refused to pass a continuing resolution, betting that a government shutdown would hurt Republicans and President Trump politically. Instead, OMB Director Russ Vought wielded the budget axe — and the cuts landed squarely on the Green New Deal.
36:35 Plus, having a sense of purpose may protect your brain health, and that's a Bright Spot. In new study in the Journal of Geriatric Psychology, researchers found that people who felt their lives had meaning were less likely to develop dementia or Alzheimer’s even if they carried the APOE4 gene, a major risk factor.
40:30 Massive immigration raids are underway in Chicago, and former ICE Director Tom Homan says the strategy is simple: target the cities that resist federal immigration enforcement the most. From Los Angeles to Chicago, so-called “sanctuary cities” have become magnets for illegal immigration, gangs, and crime—and Tom Homan is saying "Whoa!"
42:30 And we finish off with a school community who came together to support their school's security guard.

0:30 We break down Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s address to military leadership. Calling it “another liberation day,” Hegseth declared an end to DEI mandates and political correctness in the armed forces—reminding us that America needs warriors prepared to win wars, not generals bogged down by woke ideology.

16:44 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson about their baseline happiness. And they share how their upbringing helps them stay optimistic even when life gets difficult.

23:05 We talk about the announcement of President Trump’s new presidential library in Miami, Florida—set to be built next to the historic Freedom Tower, often called the “Ellis Island of the South.” We explore the symbolism of that location, the history of the tower as a beacon for Cuban exiles fleeing Castro’s regime, and the unique way this library will be funded.
25:36 We Dig Deep into a jaw-dropping story about stolen electronics, cross-country chases, and truck drivers with driver’s licenses that literally read “No Name Given.” From California to New York, blue states are issuing commercial driver’s licenses — even REAL IDs — to people with incomplete or fraudulent identities, and those drivers are hitting America’s highways. We break down how this happens, why it’s dangerous, and what it means for border security, state sovereignty, and the rule of law.
32:01 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20.
33:40 We look at the increasingly volatile role Candace Owens is playing in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Owens has publicly questioned whether video evidence in the case has been doctored, claiming she’s spoken with the suspect’s family and that there are inconsistencies in the publicly released footage. Is she raising legitimate doubts—or fueling conspiracy without proof?
36:33 Plus, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called in the top generals and admirals from all over the world for a conference to tell them it's time to shape up, and that's a Bright Spot. Hegseth made it clear: it’s time to raise the bar on physical readiness, enforce real height and weight standards, and hold leaders accountable to the same fitness expectations as new recruits.
40:41 American support for Israel is plummeting, but it remains largely steady among Republicans. The Democrat party as a whole is becoming more pro-Hamas, and at some point we just have to say, "Whoa!"
42:23 And we finish off with some words of wisdom about excellence.

0:30 We start today's show with the looming threat of another government shutdown— the “Schumer Shutdown.” Democrats are demanding $1.5 trillion in new debt spending, including free health care for illegal immigrants, funding for failing media outlets, and cuts to rural hospitals. But could this shutdown be the opportunity that President Trump has been waiting for?

13:43 We tackle a deeply troubling trend — the rise in attacks on people gathered in prayer and worship. Are these attacks random or are they part of a broader assualt on the nation's moral and spiritual foundations?
16:36 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson : If there were a reality TV competition to find the best dinner date, who would you send to win? We discuss what makes someone a great dinner companion.
23:26 We discuss the NFL’s announcement that Bad Bunny will headline the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show. We tackle Bad Bunny’s outspoken criticism of ICE, his previous statements about not performing in the U.S., and the potential cultural and political implications of giving him one of the world’s most visible stages.
26:08 We Dig Deep into a controversial tweet from the Chicago Teachers Union honoring Assata Shakur, a convicted cop killer and former member of the Black Liberation Army. We review her criminal history, her escape from prison, and her life in exile, questioning why a teachers’ union would celebrate such a figure.
32:34 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20.
33:41 We discuss the sudden exit of incumbent NYC Mayor Eric Adams from the mayoral race and analyze the remaining candidates, including Republican Curtis Sliwa, Independent Andrew Cuomo, and Socialist Zohran Mamdani.
36:43 Plus, Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman is a surprising Bright Spot in the Democrat Party. Fetterman stands out for refusing to label Republicans as Nazis or fascists and advocating for civil discourse. From supporting Israel and denouncing terrorism to urging negotiation over government shutdowns, Fetterman’s pragmatic approach offers a rare example of independent thinking within the Democratic Party.
40:40 Chinese immigration has skyrocketed in Mexico, pushing out Mexican businesses, and China is trying to do the same in the US. And it's time that we stand up to China and say, "Whoa!"
42:50 And we finish off with a woman who was able to find her voice with the help of technology.

Kennedy Jr. We break down Rep. Haley Stevens’ call for impeachment and ask: what crisis did RFK Jr. actually create?
16:21 Our American Mamas tackle the question:

26:50 And we Dig Deep into new polling data that even CNN’s Harry Enten admits is bad news for Democrats. From big Republican leads on the economy, immigration, and crime, to shifting voter sentiment since the 2022 midterms, the numbers point to growing dissatisfaction with left-leaning policies.

The CNN Town Hall in Cincinnati, Ohio, with President Biden was such a bust that at least half of the seats in the Mount St. Joseph University auditorium were empty, and the show’s cable broadcast ratings came in dead last! Considering Biden is supposed to have won a huge, record majority of American votes just 8 months ago, and considering Trump still has huge crowds outside his rallies unable to get inside, this is a major blow to the Biden Administration’s image of being supported by the American people. National Review editor Jack Butler is quoted as saying it was a "hideous spectacle unbecoming of a self-governing republic”, and he added “if CNN had any shame…, the network would never air one of these idiotic events again.” And local Cincinnati news outlets are reported to have not been able to find out who was responsible for hosting this event at the school in the first place.
It is shameful the Biden Family does not have the same love and devotion to Joe Biden that Nancy Reagan had for Ronald Reagan in his declining years. The real problem is Americans and the entire world know Biden is not “in charge” at the White House. The problem is which UNELECTED person really is?
The European Handball Federation (EHF) Disciplinary Committee absolutely requires bikini bottoms be worn by their womens’ beach handball team players, and our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are asking “who made that rule up?” Apparently, really tight fitting Short-Shorts just are not an acceptable substitute! Thus, the Norwegian Beach Handball Team was fined the Euro equivalent of $1,768 because they choose to not wear bikini bottoms, but more modest, yet still tight fitting, short-shorts instead. Interestingly, the men’s beach handball team players wear — shorts!
Why are married couples living in blue states able to draw as much as $100,000.00 in combined Federal and State funds for NOT WORKING when there are so many HELP WANTED SIGNS in almost every business window in almost every community in that state? Apparently, Joe Biden and his Administration really does not understand the concept of “supply and demand”. Of course, if you have never had any job other than a government job, you have no experience with that fundamental economic business concept! Employers simply cannot pay more in wages than their companies can make in income.
All Republicans in the US Senate voted against a procedural issue involving the $1.2 Trillion Infrastructure Bill, and that caused Chuck Schumer to also vote against it (only so he could bring it back up later). Americans are generally supportive of rebuilding roads, bridges, ports, dams, water & sewer utility pipelines, water treatment plants, the electric grid, and airports. The problem with the bill is all the extra stuff, such as Democrat “pet projects” and other “socialist agenda” items. Furthermore, every dollar in this bill will have to be borrowed — generally from our enemies, such as China, and then paid back by several decades from now future generations.
George Foreman, boxing Gold Medal winner gold medal at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, believes you cannot love America only sometimes or when it is “politically correct”. He is quoted as having said, “I have always loved America. And once you fall in love just like falling in love with your wife, no one can say anything about her.” He further explained, “The next night she is still my wife. And I'm going to stay. That's why you make that thing ‘until death do we part.’ That's why nothing has ever shook my faith and love in the country and when you love a country, nothing can bother you. If you are halfway in love you are going to have a lot of trouble.”
Louisiana now ranks near the bottom in nearly every category. Out migration has been substantial for a number of years, with Texas ranking near the top in every category right next door. As people leave, the financial burden of supporting the state becomes increasingly burdensome for those left behind. The only job of government at any level is to secure the Peoples’ Rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. The current problem of politicians choosing to “virtue signal” to the “woke” political pressure is one of those big reasons to cause people to leave a state. Louisiana is just one example.
Both Virgin Galactic's Richard Branson and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos flew their own rockets into sub-orbital space about 9 days apart. Both are planning to do space tourism. So does this mean the liberal push on “global warming” is now over or are extremely wealthy and extremely power people exempt? Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, see all this as a very inappropriate double standard in today’s cultural environment. What would have been the reaction by the Big Media if the Trump Family has done something like this?
Josh Rogin of the Washington Post has been speaking out about Fauci’s role in the Wuhan Lab’s gain-of-function research for some time. Talking to Megan Kelly on 4/15/2021, Rogin said, “The head of the funding, the head of the entire field, really, is Anthony Fauci. … He’s the godfather of gain-of-function research as we know it. That, what I said right there, is too hot for TV, because people don’t want to think about the fact that our hero of the pandemic … might also have been connected to this research, which might also have been connected to the outbreak.” After the confrontation between Sen. Rand Paul, M.D. and Dr. Fauci during a Senate Hearing this week, Rogin tweeted: “Hey guys,@RandPaul was right and Fauci was wrong….” In fact, as one M.D. to another, it was quite a moment with Fauci declared “And I want to say that officially. You do not know what you are talking about,” as part of his response to Sen. Paul.
Last week, Jen Psaki said the White House was looking at Facebook posts and gave the distinct impression there was coordination between the White House and Facebook over which posts would be censored for “misinformation” (accidentally helping Trump’s Class Action law suit against social media censoring with her statement). This brings up the issue of defining or re-defining of the word “misinformation”. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone site an example of the words of a tweet from Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, and how she was more likely banned because the Socialist-Democrats and Big Media needed to censor what she was saying, not that what she was saying was “misinformation.”
Nzube Udezue was born in England in 1986, to a mother was a journalist and and a father was a doctor. He grew up in Saudi Arabia, and was educated both in Saudi Arabia and in England. He is an Oxford graduate. The world known him as the British Rapper Zuby. He recently some very significant statements about totalitarianism and the United States.
“Many Western countries are evolving into authoritarian regimes in real-time. But people are so convinced by the illusions of ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy’ that they outright refuse to admit what’s happening. The cognitive dissonance is off the charts… The ego won’t allow it. Europe alone has seen the rise of multiple authoritarian regimes over the past few centuries. It is arrogant and foolish to assume history is ‘over’ or ‘that can’t happen here’. It absolutely can. Human nature has not changed. Have a Plan B if you value liberty. Real talk.”
“The ONLY country in the West that is largely protected against totalitarianism is the USA. And that’s because of the 2nd Amendment.”
The White House has decided HIPAA does not allow them to make public any information about those working at the White House who have become ill with COVID, and yet, the White House thinks it is OK to pay non-medical people to go door-to-door to discuss COVID-19 and the COVID vaccination with everyone. Apparently they do not see doing that to be a HIPAA violation. It would greatly help if the information from both the CDC and the Big Media was honest and trustworthy — or even reported at all.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, strongly believe saying things online to someone which you would never say in person is just wrong…..and extremely rude. Hiding behind a keyboard and digital screen does not make it acceptable. It just shows the true character of the person doing it.
Politico has reported Secretary of State Antony Blinken has instructed Ambassadors and other foreign diplomats to talk about America’s “human rights failures”. Some believe he is doing this because it will encourage China to do the same. Really? Or is he giving China ammunition to use against the USA?
Senator Paul Ryan, M.D. (R-KY) asked Dr. Anthony Fauci if he wanted to retract a statement he had previously made to Congress regarding the connection between the NIH and the Wuhan Lab which got NIH grants to do “gain-of-function” research. Because Ryan is an M.D., he has a level of medical understanding which makes his questioning very direct about that research and the subsequent consequences to the populations of the USA and the world. It did indeed become very heated.
Rasmussen has looked at the public support of the Forensic Audit going on in Arizona, and found a majority of likely voters do support it. They believe we need to know what happened and how to not have doubt in our elections in the future. Interestingly, voters under the age of 40 are more supportive of the audit than older voters.
Apparently, Jen Psaki thinks Americans are not smart enough to catch her flip-flopping on the facts about what she actually says! Last week, she clearly said, "We're flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation. We're working with doctors and medical experts…who are popular with their audience with accurate information, … so, we're helping get trusted content out there.” So now she is saying they “have not asked Facebook to block any individual posts”.
America’s entire electrical grid is in very poor shape. Those massive transmission tower systems are old and are not being rapidly rebuilt (think “infrastructure”). Our systems of electric generation can be both haphazardous and problematic (remember the 2021 Texas Freeze). As of March 18, 2021, the U.S. Energy Information Administration, reports our primary ways of generating electricity are 1.) natural gas - 40%, 2.) nuclear energy - 20%, 3.) coal - 19%, 4.) wind - 8.4%, 5.) hydropower (dams) - 7.3%, 6.) solar - 2.3%, 7.) biomass - 1.4%, and 8.) geothermal - 0.4%. Even so, the Socialist-Democrats, including the Biden Administration, wants to force the automobile industry to only produce products which would have zero emissions output by 2025!
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, do not think it is funny to get sick with the Coronavirus. But they do think there are a lot of very odd things going on with those Texas House Democrats — all to avoid having to vote and lose on some Texas Election Reform Bills! Thus, they fled out of Texas, in mass, on private chartered planes, with at least one case of beer and no masks. What they did is NOT for “the cause of democracy”! It specifically was to block democratic rule in the Texas House of Representatives! In addition, a big question is if they were all vaccinated and none have any symptoms, why were they tested for COVI-19?
WOW! So older generations were told to save money for their retirement and senior years, and apparently a lot of them did! The Wall Street Journal reports, “Baby boomers and older Americans have spent decades accumulating an enormous stockpile of money. At the end of this year’s first quarter, Americans age 70 and above had a net worth of nearly $35 trillion, according to Federal Reserve data.” Needless to say, the Biden Administration and the Socialist-Democrat Members of Congress want a big chunk of that money for themselves!
People are making personal decisions about getting vaccinated based upon “risk/benefit” calculations. In other words, do my age, my health, and the size of my community make me more likely to get COVID-19 or less likely to do so. Older people living in bigger, more densely populated communities are probably going to get vaccinated. Younger people, especially if living in more rural communities are not.
Using a pronoun for a person which is not that person’s “preferred gender” has been made a violation of law in a number of states, as well as by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights provisions. California had such a provision in its long-term care facility code (HSC § 1439.51). This meant caregivers in long-term care facilities could be fined $1,000 and a year in prison. With a 3-0 ruling, a California Court of Appeal has struck down this pronoun provision saying it violates the 1st Amendment Right of Free Speech because it was restricting speech based upon the content of that speech. This is a very specific ruling on California law, but it is encouraging.
“Noble Cause Corruption” is thinking you are so smart, so good, and so perfect that whatever pops into your head has to be a great, absolutely brilliant idea, and anyone who tries to stop you is obviously — by definition — BAD. The entire Democrat Party is rife with it! And then the whole mess starts to fall into the problem of “group think”, which stops people from using their own common sense in making decisions.
Now, Jen Psaki just admitted the Federal Government is going through all social media posts looking for posts about COVID they don’t like and telling Facebook to block them. We also know the Feds are doing the same for all cell phone text messages! WOW! Sounds pretty much like a major 1st Amendment violation — and THE REASON it was passed in the first place!
In this “a trophy for everyone for everything” world, Oregon is considering dropping their State Bar Exam — the exam which proves one knows enough Oregon Law to represent people in a Court of Law. Why? Because they think it is “racist”. Who wants to hire an attorney who is essentially ignorant of the Law? Wouldn’t this put the entire concept of “fiduciary responsibility” into serious doubt? Or maybe they have decided not prosecuting anyone was so successful that no one will need lawyers in Oregon any more.
Has PETA run out of animals to “protect”? Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are Louisiana gals, and they are not giving up their crawfish meals! And that is pretty much the end of that!
WORDS HAVE MEANINGS! A pandemic is an epidemic which is spreading rapidly over a wide geographic area. Thus, Biden and the CIC are wrong even in their current use of the word “pandemic”, as there is no such thing as “a pandemic of the unvaccinated”.
The Mayo Clinic says “Herd immunity occurs when a large portion of a community (the herd) becomes immune to a disease, making the spread of disease from person to person unlikely. As a result, the whole community becomes protected — not just those who are immune.”
The American Journal of Clinical Pathology says in one of its recent published articles, “Herd Immunity to COVID-19” (01-05-2021), “we will need at least 60% to 72% herd immunity to ‘just’ cut the transmission chain.” If two-thirds (67%) of the American population has been vaccinated, then we are within that “herd immunity” range. Thus, we clearly no longer have an American COVID-19 pandemic — by definition!
We do have a big COVID-19 problem at the Southern border with the illegals flooding across and into the United States; but the Biden Administration is ignoring that.
Americans have become less trusting in recent years, and an analysis of Gallop's newest "Trust List" is very telling, especially when compared to previous years’ surveys. The only segments of the American Society that are trusted by the majority of Americans are #1 - Small Business (70%), #2 - the U.S. Military (69%, but declining because of “wokeness”), and #3 - the Police (51%).
Every other aspect of American society today is not trusted by a majority of Americans:
Not having lost enough television viewership and related advertising income last year, the NFL is
Not having lost enough television viewership and related advertising income last year, the NFL is doubling down in its “Social Justice” messaging for the upcoming 2021-2022 season. There will be even more on-field signs and slogans, a variety of decals on the player’s helmets, and a huge series of Public Service announcements in the stadiums.
It has become publicly known the Senate Democrats are working to “slip” a total amnesty provision into the “infrastructure package,” which they hope to pass in the Senate through a 51-vote reconciliation process. If they are able to do it, approximately 10 million illegals currently inside the US borders would immediately be eligible for green cards and get onto a path for US citizenship. The critical questions are 1.) will the Senate Parliamentarian permit this, and 2.) if so, will Democrat Senators in “purple” states, especially like Arizona, New Hampshire, and West Virginia, vote for it knowing the majority of voters are opposed to it?
While they understand we are living in an intolerant cultural environment where people who are white are not allowed to say the same things black people are, our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, wish everyone would bring more common sense to issues at times. Bottom line, this intolerance is getting old, but it hasn’t run its course because this is what the extreme socialist-Marxist Democrats want right now.
Louis Avallone talks about how Apple is drastically ramping up their cell phone production. Also, the US Customs and Border Protection Office has revealed ICE will start giving illegals cell phones “for tracking purposes”. (Just how well do you think that will work out?) We don’t know if the two are connected; but this is NUTS! Did you want to pay for your own cell phones and for those of hundreds of illegals, too?
There is a sinister ideology which had taken root inside our governments (Federal, State, and Local) because some of the people who have gotten into positions of power have quite sinister intentions, both in their past behaviors and in their political beliefs and goals. In other words, the Radicals of the past are now running the government! Stephen Parr cites a number of examples, including the San Francisco’s DA, Chesa Boudin, and the convicted eco-terrorist and Biden nominee for Director of the Bureau of Land Management, Tracy Stone-Manning.
Because COVID-19 is so bad in El Salvador, there is a new 90-day ban on people attending sporting events, concerts, rallies, museums, theaters and municipal festivals, even though the El Salvadorian President claims he has managed the COVID-19 illness better in his country than in nearby countries. So….why is the USA not checking for COVID-19 in illegals showing up at the border?
Pit Bull is frustrated he is not seeing more support for the protests of the Cuban people. Cuban-Americans Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are speaking out, but what about everyone else? What is Cuban-American Jeff Bezos doing? Are the Democrats so committed to turning the United States into a Communist country that they are willing to sacrifice the Cuban people at this point in time? Clearly this should not be “just a Miami, Florida issue”!
It is all about getting millions of additional Democrat votes! As more information comes out about Democrat voter fraud, as more states pass new election laws making it harder to cheat at the ballot box, and as more and more minorities leave the Democrat Party, they have to find a new way to get votes — or they lose power, maybe permanently. So once again, the best way the Democrats can think of to do this is to cheat some more by slipping a provision into the Budget Reconciliation Bill which would grant amnesty to illegals. This way, they can do it without having to have any Republican votes!
Since we keep being told we need to “follow the science”, Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr want us to start following the science regarding the amount of carbon dioxide we breathe in by wearing these “COVID” face masks (as reported by a "JAMA Pediatrics" article banned by Facebook). And in Britain, the scientific data shows there are fewer hospitalizations and deaths from the Delta variant of COVID. What about that scientific data? Can we quit having our elected officials bullying us over all of this now?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, believe Country Music is by the Brave and for the Patriotic! It definitely is not going to make the “politically correct” happy; but even if you live in a big city, if you love the American Flag and the National Anthem, then there will be some “good ‘ole Country” you will like, too.
There are a number of very troubling issues regarding the current protests in Cuba and what the Biden Administration is either saying or not saying. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss in depth the issues involved, both the silence from President Biden denouncing Communism and the now hostile positions coming from the current Secretary of State, Cuban born Alejandro Mayorkas. What is so astonishing about Mayorkas' statements are that he is the son of Cuban Jews who somehow got from Cuba to Florida in 1960, when he was one year old. Clearly Cuban refugees don't walk across the Straits of Florida, would it not be reasonable to believe he probably came to Florida BY BOAT?
Our Constitutional Rights are our RIGHTS, even though there are some which are delayed because they are not appropriate for children to handle. However, by the age of 18, the United States has decided people are of appropriate age to vote and to serve in the US Military. Until now, however, even people in the military could not own weapons. But that is now changed. A 3-judge panel of the 4th Circuit of Appeals has ruled 18-year olds can purchase handguns. The ruling is in conflict with a 5th Circuit ruling in 2012, and the Biden DOJ doesn’t like it, so it is likely going to be further appealed.
Just how worried are the Democrats about States recounting their 2020 Presidential election results and revising their election laws to make voting easier but cheating harder? A LOT WORRIED! Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss a number of already known election voting and election result counting irregularities in a number of states. As more states start to announce their results and as more states even decide to start an intense forensic audit, the problems for the Democrats will go up.
Military children, affectionately referred to as “Brats”, do not need Jill Biden to tell them how to behave! Stephen Parr (raised as an Army Brat) will assure you they know how to behave, because about the absolute worst thing a Brat can do is to embarrass his or her military parents! Furthermore, for Jill Biden to think she is qualified to do this is just insulting. Instead, she needs to be talking to her fellow Democrats ADULTS — including current and former members of Congress! Add to that group members of BLM, and Antifa members, because their behavior is pretty outrageous, too!
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, have some suggestions as to how handle someone at your door wanting to talk about the COVID vaccines — the ones which are still EXPERIMENTAL, and NOT APPROVED! There are many Americans whose own health or the health of their family members justifies taking the vaccine; but this is an private, individual decision. It is not the business of some stranger at your door!
However, to understand the true motivation behind this Federal Democrat door-to-door push, ask about their employer and their own medical credentials. Did your County or Parish hire a medically qualified organization, such as a hospital system with strong community outreach, or did they hire a Democrat Campaign Team to do this “medical” work in the “Non-Election Year-Off Political Season”?
Power over others can be addictive to some people, Dr. Fauci being an excellent example. Instead of deciding we have made good progress on the Coronavirus and Americans can now be permitted to go about their lives, making decisions for themselves, he is pushing for children, as young as 3 years old, to always be wearing masks! The science does not support that on so many levels!
Well, 58 TEXAS LEGISLATIVE DEMOCRATS RAN AWAY AGAIN! This now is twice in 2021 and twice in 2003! Apparently in Texas, it is always Democrats who “run”, as also was the case in 2011 in Wisconsin and in Indiana. Every time, it was over pending legislation which would legally reduce their Democrat POWER. The only time any State Republicans have ever “run” was in 2019 to stop an Oregon “Climate Change” bill which would have hurt Oregon businesses.
When a Pablo Picasso painting can be purchased for $150,000, why would anyone buy a Hunter Biden painting for a half-million? The White House worked hard to create a smoke screen where they could claim these were not being bought in exchange for “access”; but not many people seen to believe that, especially after the China and Ukraine Hunter Biden “business” deals!
According to Federal background checks, the purchase of personal firearms, under the 2nd Amendment’s Right to Arms, went up drastically in 2020. In fact, first time buyers went up 40%, and this includes people who have always been opposed to individual ownership of guns. Minorities, who never considered owning a weapon before, have been buying them. Women and college students, including liberals, have been buying them. The reasons differ greatly, but all come down to the same point: “I must be able to protect myself.”
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about all the irrational and inconsistent positions the Democrats are trying to get Americans to believe about the States redoing some of their election laws — changes which are intended to make it easier to vote AND HARDER TO CHEAT! It is that second part the Democrats are so upset about.
Small children know what they are taught to know, be it truthful or not. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are quite troubled by a parent or other adult intentionally watching a young child be destructive of others’ American flags.
These Democrat controlled cities are determined to totally self-destruct! Chicago is an excellent example. They are unwilling to deal with the horrible violence in their city, and now they are mandating all public schools must maintain a supply of condoms for 5th grade boys.
The Target Stores in San Francisco are reducing its store hours, now from 9am to 6pm — because of shoplifting! Earlier this year and for the same reason, Walgreens closed 17 of its stores in San Francisco, and CVS closed 2 stores. The problem — besides the lack of law enforcement on so many levels — is “organized shoplifting” by gangs. In fact, 75% of companies across the US has seen an increase in “organized retail crime” activity. The top 10 cities are 1.) Los Angeles; 2.) Chicago; 3.) Miami; 4.) New York; 5.) San Francisco; 6.) Baltimore; 7.) Atlanta; 8.) Washington, DC; 9.) Philadelphia; and 10.) Sacramento.
When was the last time you actually went to the movies — at the theater? Stephen Parr says it is great to start returning to normal activities again, including going to the movies. He highly recommends it!
Joe Biden's physical and mental health clearly are in decline. The foreign press is even reporting on it. There is a long history of Presidents having serious health problems; but unlike what the Biden Administration is doing, the White House always tried to keep those health issues secret. They understood the dangers to the United States when its enemies know the President of the United States is not able to perform Presidential duties efficiently and rapidly.
Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, discuss the logistics of planning Teri’s annual family 4th of July celebration and how important it is for the entire extended family (including close friends like Denise). If you are interested in doing something similar next year, you can contact her through our website at https://www.americangroundradio.com/contact .
Wi Spa, a well known, upscale Korean spa in Los Angeles, allowed a person with full male genitalia to go into the women’s section of the facility where women and young girls were completely nude, and then he proceeded to fully disrobe, completely exposing himself. There seems to be some controversy over whether or not he is transgender or a sexual pervert — or if it was actually staged to cause trouble. It gets worse. A protest was planned, but Antifa showed up first. And then when the protesters arrived, Antifa beat up the protesters — all in the name of protecting the “rights” of a person with full male genitalia to expose himself to a room full of nude women and underage girls. Even worse, most of the major American news outlets didn’t cover this story.
Fake News Friday
“Gaslighting!” The Democrats are masters at it, so what it is? It is a psychological term which comes from a British play, “Gas Light”, where one character is trying to convince others they are going insane by manipulating believable reality — in other words, lying! That is exactly what Jen Psaki was doing when she declared, in a White House briefing, that “some would say” it was the Republicans who were wanting to defund the police. It was such a blatant lie that even the Washington Post had to award her with Three Pinocchios!
While it is obvious to almost all Americans and definitely to leaders of foreign nations, it is very sad that those who are closest to Job Biden and who love him the most are intentionally putting him in a position where he can only embarrass himself on the public stage by his memory lapses. He clearly is in cognitive decline. He should be allowed to be in situations where he could maintain more dignity and pride.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are very supportive of the children and the damage these extremist, false social teaching are doing to them emotionally. Teaching about sexual situations and sexual acts to children who have been raped is unconscionable, and telling children who have been very poor — to the point of starving — that they have “white privilege” is both insensitive and an outright lie. ALL of our children deserve better, and the adults responsible for them in the classrooms should know it! It is time for Parents to reclaim their rights to make decisions about and for their children.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss a long list of “lockdown” conditions so many in Britain are willing to continue doing for a very long time. Why?
The more we learn about the NSA having unmasked and apparently now continuing to spy on Tucker Carlson, the more troubled every American should become. The Federal Government began collecting electronic communications on Americans after 9-11, telling us they were just going to watch “bad acting foreigners”. But we started learning the Obama Administration made “unmasking Americans” a major operation against Americans whom they deemed to be their “political enemies,” including Donald Trump and his political team members, in 2015. We know they did it to a few good, investigative news personalities as well. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the seriousness of the problem and why it is time people involved in this need to go to jail.
Last month, the IRS refused to grant nonprofit 501.c.3 charity status to “Christians Engaged,” accusing the organization of being affiliated with the Republican Party because of its “bible teachings”. (Does the IRS think no Democrats are Christians?) The IRS rejection letter stated it did not like “Christians Engaged” discussing the following: “the sanctity of life, the definition of marriage, biblical justice, laws vs. lawlessness, freedom of speech, religious liberty, government and business ethics, human trafficking, fiscal responsibility in government budgeting, defense, borders and immigration, U.S. and Israel relations.” The Bright Spot is U.S. Representatives Chip Roy (R-TX), Kevin Brady (R-TX), and Jim Jordan (R-OH), as well as Senators Mike Lee (R-UT) and Ted Cruz (R-TX), got involved, and the IRS just changed its mind! “Christians Engaged” now has it 501.c.3 status, retroactive to 2019!
The Founding Fathers never imagined some of our current election problems, including absentee voting, ballot harvesting, and voting by computer. As a result, the Constitution is silent on how to handle as situation where a person, currently holding the Office of the President, is determined to have been elected fraudulently. At this time, we have no solutions. The Supreme Court cannot create new law. It can only rule on the Constitutionality of facts, events, and existing written law. We do have mechanisms to amend the Constitution to address this problem in future elections; but even that is not likely to happen before the 2022 elections. The burden to solve this problem in the near term is solely the States’ responsibility to resolve, and that can only be State by State right now.
The Democrats (which now are all extreme leftists, even often to the degree of being socialists) are engaging in all sorts of illegal power grabs, and the American Press Corps is letting them do it. There always has been an element of corrupt political power-grabbing in the US, but there was better balance that today because of a more honest American Press. After Watergate, the upcoming “journalists” believed it was their job to destroy Republicans, not to expose government corruption. AND THAT is a major factor of our current corrupt political mess! (Remember: Trump was calling the Press out as “fake news”, so they MUST destroy him.)
Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are not happy about athletes being disrespectful about the American flag and the National Anthem — in this case, being played on an harmonica by a WWII 98-year old veteran! They believe this anti-American behavior in sports has received so much backlash on so many levels by so many truly patriotic Americans that organized sports is beginning to feel the financial pressure.
Few have had as much of an impact on the peace and stability of the United States of America as the Long Gray Line Meigs Family, beginning at West Point during the Revolutionary War and coming forward through history. This week, we lost another of those great American leaders, Retired General Montgomery C. Meigs at the age of 76.
As predicted when Governors started declaring COVID “State of Emergency” edicts last year, Governor Cuomo is now the first governor to start using “disaster declarations” to strip Americans of their Constitutional Rights, but he won’t be the last. He is quoted as saying “Just like we did with COVID, New York is going to lead the nation once again with a comprehensive approach to combating and preventing gun violence, and our first step is acknowledging the problem with a first-in-the-nation disaster emergency on gun violence.” He has declared a “Gun Violence Disaster Emergency” to be a public health crisis, and created a new Office of Gun Violence Prevention inside the New York Dept of Health. He is starting by targeting New York City, Albany, Buffalo, Syracuse, and Long Island.
The Biden Administration, from the very first day in office, has been attacking the entire fossil fuel industry — and thus, the American people. He has so damages the industry that we went from a net-export oil and gas Nation to a net-import Nation again. This has left us subject to whatever our Nation’s enemies choose to do to us and the prices American have to pay for gasoline and fuel to heat and cool their homes. And of course, it hurts the poorest the most. But the Biden Administration does not care. It is only interested in what the environmentalists want.
When Conan O'Brien and Sean Penn realize the political left have gone too far, that is hopeful. On a recent podcast of “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend,” Conan O’Brien and Sean Penn agree “it’s a tricky time” in comedy these days because of the Cancel Culture. O’Brien is quoted to have said, “The whole concept of cancel culture is, ‘We found that someone did something in 1979 that is now not appropriate. They’re dead to us.’ ”
It is time to push back against all those individuals and businesses which are being so negative and hateful about America and what our Nation is. Louis Avallone says we, the American People, are not doing a good enough job of teaching other people and other countries how to understand us and how to treat us well. He is talking about those who burn our flag, disrespect our National anthem, and who are attempting to rewrite the History of our Nation into something which is not true. Stephen Parr agrees, saying there is no reason to “make stuff up” about America that is not true, such as the New York Times’ “1619 Project” has done. That turned out to be an astounding collection of lies about America in the long history of the world!
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, may surprise you with their answers to who would be willing to replace Meghan McCain on the View.
There are a number of explanations given as to why 41% of US workers are thinking about quitting their jobs. Those include wanting fewer hours at work and more flexibility in their lives, as well as shifting careers to pursue their passions. While Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr respect those desires, they are also strong supporters of “doers” who work hard to make a difference as compared to those who believe personal success is more due to luck than hard work and determination. These can be achieved working for yourself and working for others.
Do you know who Ron Klain is? He just may be the one in control at the White House — because he is the current Chief of Staff. And what was Jill Biden doing at the Presidential Desk on Air Force One preparing for the G7 Summit? Quite worrisome actually, because neither one is an elected official.
The majority of Americans do not believe President Biden is fully executing the duties of his office and others are having to cover for him. That includes more than 83% of Republicans, more than 58% if Independents, and even almost 1/3 of Democrats believe someone else is in charge. So who is or are there things just being ignored? This is critical considering how our Nation’s enemies are pushing and testing our National leaders’ strength of character right now.
BLM Activist and US Rep. (D-MO) Cori Bush declared the 4th of July was only a holiday for white people, not all people. As Reagan famously said, what some people declare to “know” just isn’t so, and this is one of those examples!
Stephen Parr outlines a detailed history of the ending of slavery, both in the US and in another nations of the world. It all started with the Second Sentence of the Declaration of Independence which was signed on July 4, 1776! YES, JULY 4!
And as Louis Avallone points out, hundreds of thousands (estimated at 620,000) died during the Civil War to free the slaves. Furthermore, Juneteenth was not when American slaves were freed. That happened when President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation became effective on January 1, 1863. June 19, 1863 was when word of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reached Galveston, TX.
We have the FBI, the Secret Service, the US Marshalls, and the AFT, as well as a number of other Federal law enforcement agencies. The Capitol Police, however, is just supposed to protect the Capitol buildings in Washington, DC. Members of Congress receive protection in their home districts from their local law enforcement agencies. They do not need branches of the Capitol Police in their home districts, too, so what is Pelosi’s true motivation for opening up branch offices in Florida and California?
Alan Dershowitz, a Constitutional and Criminal Law Expert and a retired Harvard Law School Professor, explains how being able to provide opportunities for your children to excel in whatever profession they choose is “What Makes America Great”! His own personal story proves his point. He was present for Martin Luther King’s famous declaration about wanting people to be judged by the content of character, not skin color. That, he stresses, is what has made America great, and he adds “And we’re losing it!…We are losing it to what is called ‘Identity Politics’.”
Moon Griffon, Louisiana Conservative Radio Talk Show Host, makes a very profound observation: “Every bit of our Freedom was born with blood.” He further explains, if we lose this Freedom we have, "we will not get it back with a law or a stroke of a pen." We will have to fight and some will die to get it back. Moon thinks frequently young people take our American freedoms for granted. It takes some age, maturity, and personal religious faith to realize how precious our freedoms are and how they must be protected at all cost.
Kimberly Guilfoyle, a television news personality, grew up believing America’s Greatness is found in the quality of opportunities America provides; however, whether or not you achieve those goals is determined by each one of us. Your limits in life are not determined by anyone or any entity other than yourself and how hard you are willing to work to make it happen. It is that opportunity for each of us to decide who and what we want to achieve in life that Makes America Great!
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr, “American Ground Radio” Hosts, share what they believe Makes America Great. The American Dream is not really about material or monetary factors. The greatness of America is that it allows each of us to see the greatness in ourselves.
For Louis, it is ‘Opportunity’ — so many Americans have success stories to tell about how just having American Opportunity and a willingness to work hard changed the destiny of their lives. In America, their lives are not defined by where they were born, what kind of housing they lived in as children, or what kind of work their parents did.
Stephen says the Second Sentence of the Declaration of Independence is the fundamental reason America is able to be great. Both Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King referred to this sentence their famous speeches, “ The Gettysburg Address” and “I have a Dream” respectively. Whenever America is living up to the Second Sentence, it is at its best; but when it is at its worst, the Second Sentence is not being followed.
Wesley Hunt, Combat Veteran, Congressional Candidate, and host of the podcast “In the Hunt”, grew up in a very patriotic Army family. Wesley and his two siblings are all West Point graduates, and his dad is a retired Army officer — adding up to about 60 years of military service. Wesley flew approximately 55 combat missions in Iraq as an attack Apache Longbow helicopter pilot. It is the brave men and women who have fought and died for America, over more than two centuries, who have made this Nation so great. Wesley says Americans are all different because we are all free. But the Democrat Party has chosen to engage in efforts to keep the black community from progressing because it does not want them to progress or to think for themselves.
Governor Tate Reeves, of Mississippi, says America is the greatest nation in the history of mankind because America is the land of opportunity. If you dream big, if you carefully develop a plan to accomplish that big dream, and if you then have the willingness to work hard enough to make it happen, you will have the capacity to achieve your goals. Governor Reeves believes having a good work ethic is critical to being able to achieve one’s American dream. Our diversity and our complicated history does help make America great. We have had to overcome those challenging problems, and in doing so, it has made us stronger.
Senator Marsha Blackburn, from the State of Tennessee, believes we must be ever vigilant fighting to protect our natural American Rights of Faith, Family, Freedom, Hope, and Opportunity, or we will lose them. She agrees with Ronald Reagan that we are always one generation away from extinction. It is extremely important for each generation to learn Civics and American History as part of teaching them how to be good citizens willing to defend the Nation for their generation and the next.
Daniel Cameron, Attorney General from the Commonwealth of Kentucky, thinks the fact American are always striving to make the country a more perfect union is what provided America the ability to be great. In the history of nations, this is a unique and special concept of governance. The Republican Party does not care about skin color. It cares about values and personal character.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the significance of their annual "What Makes America Great?" specials.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, love celebrating the 4th of July, and they make it a big celebration. It is so important for us all to be able to share what we think and believe in our hearts, while respecting those who disagree with us. Denise explains how as long as we are divided we cannot become anything truly great, but once we come together in a thoroughly mixed melting pot, Americans can achieve anything.
Pam Bondi, former Florida Attorney General, says because America is a melting pot of numerous, very diverse, wonderful cultures to become our American culture, America is truly great! In other words, it is the American people who “Make America Great”. They come together in times of adversity. They are resilient and strong. But she does mention the strength of this cultural melting pot is that all are people who immigrated to America are people who came legally.
As a Political Commentator and Trump Campaign Manager, Corey Lewandowski has been living an example of the American Dream. He sees the American determination for independence, with their willingness to fight for what is right and never give up, as being fundamental to What Makes America Great. At our grit, our determination, and our Forefathers’ history of personal sacrifice to obtain freedom and independence also are important.
Going over facts of history, Paris Dennard, GOP Political Commentator, explains how the Republican Party has always been the party for black Americans, and how the media and the Democrats are continually trying to create a wedge between blacks and Republican values since the 1960s. He is very pleased at the number of candidates who are black who are now willing to be on the Republican election tickets. “What Makes America Great”, he believes, are our Constitutional Freedoms and Liberties.
Benjamin Clapper, Executive Director of Louisiana Right to Life, says the beautiful part of America is even though we are not perfect, we have the ability to fix what needs to be fixed to make the Nation be a “more perfect” place to be for all. The conflict of a children’s Chucky Cheese being directly across the street from an abortion location is a powerful image; but it is one that definitely can be fixed. Our Founding Fathers put a system in place where change can happen without out revolution, and that is part of “What Makes America Great”.
Preview with Sen. Marsha Blackburn which will air on the 4th of July Special.
As Diamond and Silk, Live Stream Bloggers and Newsmax Hosts, began as Democrats talking about what they were observing in American politics and not being honestly reported in the press, and became Republicans in the process. By their examples, all Americans are learning to speak out for themselves in today’s political environment. They believe “What Makes America Great” is the Freedoms we have in America. Take advantage of America’s opportunities and soar to your goals and dreams. We also need to get back to being able to agree to disagree. The liberals cannot be allowed to run this Nation as if they are Dictators! Do not let them manipulate, intimidate, and dominate.
Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur love the 4th of July celebrations and they are amazed that two moms such as themselves can make such a difference just by speaking their minds on the radio.
As a Political Commentator and Trump Campaign Manager, Corey Lewandowski has been living an example of the American Dream. He sees the American determination for independence, with their willingness to fight for what is right and never give up, as being fundamental to What Makes America Great. At our grit, our determination, and our Forefathers’ history of personal sacrifice to obtain freedom and independence also are important.
Wesley Hunt, from a family of military men and women, does a podcast, "In the Hunt", (available on YouTube, with his brother, Wrendon Hunt, to explains being both Republican and black.
“Sweet” Lou Dunbar, of the Harlem Globetrotters, is a great example of living the American Dream! He says America gives you the opportunity to be yourself, to have fun, and to live your life the way you want. You can go places and see things with a degree of freedom not available most places. It’s not about color, or where you came from, or what your last name is. It is about who you are and how you treat people. The Globetrotters believe it is an honor to be able play for the American troops stationed overseas as a way to thank them for serving the Nation.
Admiral Barry Black, 62nd Chaplain of the US Senate, believes America’s origins are what make it great. The Declaration of Independence says our individual American Rights are God given, and they do not come from any governmental state. America is an amazing experiment, and so many people in the world envy this Country because of its amazing Constitution because of the socio-political documents which frame it.
Kimberly Guilfoyle, a television news personality, grew up believing America’s Greatness is found in the quality of opportunities America provides, but whether or not you achieve those goals is determined by each one of us. Your limits in life are not determined by anyone or any entity other than yourself and how hard you are willing to work to make it happen.
Governor Tate Reeves, of Mississippi, says America is the greatest nation in the history of mankind because America is the land of opportunity. If you dream big, if you carefully develop a plan to accomplish that big dream, and if you then have the willingness to work hard enough to make it happen, you will have the capacity to achieve your goals.
Tomi Lahren, Conservative Political Commentator, says we cannot discount the importance of the American people willing to stand up for themselves and exercising their Rights under the 1st Amendment. It is a major factor in what makes America so unique. “Average” Americans are not “average” at all! The foundation of America is its people, willing to work hard and make the personal sacrifices necessary for their families, their communities, and the Nation, when need be.
Allen West, American Politician and Retired Army LTC, believes one of the fundamental aspects of “What Makes America Great” is from the very first shots fired at Lexington and Concord at the start of the Revolutionary War through today are all the young men and women who are willing to answer the Call of Duty for the Nation. In fact, the American Army actually existed before we were a Nation. Because the members of our military take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, they are serving the American people, not an individual President or any political party. They are doing what they do for “We The People”.
Javier Villalobos is the newly elected Republican Mayor of McAllen, Texas, which is located 13 miles from the Texas-Mexico border. He cites two reasons America is such a great country — our Liberties, our Freedoms, and our People. He says we are very accepting of new people coming into the country, but we need to be very careful about how we allow people to come in with immigration. He is the son of a migrant farmer, started as a child in the barrio, and because of hard work and education, he is now able to be an attorney and a mayor. This is the American Dream!
Pam Bondi, former Florida Attorney General, says because America is a melting pot of numerous, very diverse, wonderful cultures to become our American culture, America is truly great! In other words, it is the American people who “Make America Great”. They come together in times of adversity. They are resilient and strong. But she does mention the strength of this cultural melting pot is that all are people who immigrated to America are people who came legally.
Tucker Carlson, FoxNews Host, believes one of the most important aspects of "What Makes America Great" is our absolute right to say whatever we believe, as provided under the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution.
Bill McArthur, NASA Astronaut, flu on the Space Shuttles Columbia, Atlantis, and Atlantis, as well as Soyuz to and from the International Space Station, where he was commander for a 6-month tour of duty. He truly appreciates both what the country is and what the country can be. America was unique at the time it was founded, and our Founding Fathers created a structure which has allowed us to grow as the Nation matured.
Leslie Rutledge, Arkansas Attorney General, is both the first woman and the first Republican to be elected to the position of Arkansas AG. She believes “What Makes America Great” revolves around our Faith, Family, and Freedoms! She does emphasize that we must always fight for our Freedoms because they do not come to us “freely”. Men and women have died on both American soil and foreign soils to protect our freedoms and our rights.
Alan Dershowitz, Legal expert in Constitutional and Criminal Law and a retired Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, explains how being able to provide opportunities for your children to excel in whatever profession they choose is “What Makes America Great”! His own personal story proves his point.
If Kamala Harris really wanted to see the problems the Biden Administration created at the Texas-Mexico border, she would have gone to Del Rio with Rep. Henry Cuellar, (D-Larado, TX) and not to El Paso. The trip was only a “check the box” 5-hour stop in a relatively secure area, with substantial fencing reinforced by Trump or built from scratch by a private group.
Rep. Cuellar is very critical of the damage the Biden Administration has done to the border, especially in his own Congressional District, and Harris really did not want to be taken to see what is really happening. As Cuellar said, “With all due respect, just coming and doing a staged visit is not enough.” The absolute disaster starts just east of the Big Bend National Park and runs the remaining length of the Rio Grande to the Gulf of Mexico. No, Harris did not want to talk to the Border Patrol in those areas, nor the ranchers or townspeople who live near the Rio Grande. She and Biden like this mess they made, apparently!
Before almost any bodies could be recovered, the Democrats almost immediately and most callously started claiming the building in Miami collapsed because rising sea levels (ie: “Global Warming”). The Democrats didn’t know anything about anything at the point in time when they started this, but that didn’t stop them! They certainly cared more about making political points than about the Dead still in the rubble, yet to be recovered. [NOTE: Stephen Parr, who is an experienced meteorologist and has a Masters Degree in Geosciences, does not find this claim to be likely at this point.]
Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, share what podcaster Joe Rogan observed while he was working in Hollywood. He explains Hollywood is a place where people who are really very insecure go to become famous, only it almost never happens. The volume of rejection is huge, crushing people who are already very insecure. Rogan said, “The entire mindset of that part of the country is doing things that you think other people will like. They are insecure people that go to a place where they’re going to get rejected a lot. It’s the worst thing ever for their mental health.” It quickly becomes saying and doing whatever it takes to advance that career towards the goal of becoming famous. They become parrots.
The Bank of America believes Biden’s inflation will continue to go up throughout his administration if the next 4 years. It started when Biden started spending without any limits or controls as soon as he got into office in January, 2021. The current rate of inflation is 8%, heavily due to all the spending driving America further into debt.
The entire US-Mexico border is 1,954 miles long, with Texas being 1,254 miles of that. Realistically, Texas only has 131 miles of solid border fencing in El Paso and 17 miles of solid border fencing in the Rio Grande Valley, all either built new or reconstructed by President Trump. This ‘USAToday’ interactive map shows California, Arizona, and New Mexico have almost all of the constructed border wall, but Texas has almost none. [ https://www.usatoday.com/border-wall/us-mexico-interactive-border-map/ ] So, Kamala stood behind Trump’s wall for photo-ops, the only part of the Texas-Mexico border which is relatively safe. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain the numbers which Kamala is choosing to ignore as being a problem.
It is becoming increasingly obvious that our education system across the country is doing a very poor job of teaching our children the knowledge required for Americans to collectively maintain our independence and our systems of American society. In fact, it has done such a poor job for so long, most adults do not have a good, functional understanding of our system of government under our US Constitution. They do not know America’s basic history, not even basic general concepts and definitely not in the context of time or centuries. This lack of critical knowledge makes it very hard to find good leaders for our elected offices. As our third President, Thomas Jefferson, said, “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.”
Have you noticed as soon as Democrats get something they have been demanding to have for a long time, they suddenly move on to something else to gripe about that is making them very unhappy? They act like spoiled, self-centered children who never learned how to share or to compromise. Well, they wanted Juneteenth to become a National holiday, and as soon as they got it, they started griping about people with white skin getting that Federal Holiday, too. That definitely is a self-centered, racist attitude, and it won’t help anyone get along……but do they want to?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, discuss the conflict between the reality of who George Floyd was and how he has been promoted by the media and the socialist Democrats. They warn parents to teach their children how to avoid the mistakes Floyd made. But an unanswered question remains why are they expecting everyone to be impressed with a statue of George Floyd when they have been so hateful about other statutes around the Nation, including George Washington,Christopher Columbus, Thomas Jefferson, the 9-11 Firefighters, Jesus, and the Virgin Mary.
No one ever called the politics of New York State “honest and ethical” — not now and not throughout most of American history. [The Tammany Hall society, founded in 1786, “became the main local political machine of the Democratic Party” until the mid-1960’s — which is just about all of American history, when you look at it closely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tammany_Hall ] And while it may now have a different name, it is still engaging in using political power to attack those who oppose its ruthless control. This time, and apparently without appropriate, legal “due process”, the New York Bar just stripped Rudy Giuliani of his New York State Law License — because he represents Donald Trump. Time will tell if Giuliani can get that overturned through the courts.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) represents parts of Brooklyn and Queens in New York City, and is the 4th most powerful Democrat in the US House of Representatives. He declared the Democrats to be a collection of honest, hard-working people trying to investigate the January 6 Capitol Building incident, and attacked the Republicans as being part of a “full-blown cult” with unquestionable allegiance to Donald Trump! He went on to say, “They have chosen to place Party over patriotism. They have chosen the big lie over the rule of law. They've chosen autocracy over democracy.” [REMEMBER: The Democrat Party is the party of projection — so turn it around and reverse the words “Democrat” and “Republican” and you will have something closer to the truth.]
Being committed to being the Nation’s “Green Energy Leader” and thus no longer allowing gasoline or diesel vehicles into the state after 2035, California has just admitted it cannot supply enough electricity to meet the state’s current needs right now! A DO NOT CHARGE YOUR ELECTRIC VEHICLES order just went into effect!
California does some really weird stuff, even when it isn't fair to its residents, this one because of Cesar Chavez! For over 45 years and in honoring had forced agriculture land owners to allow labor unions to come onto their property for up to three hours a day, 120 days per year, to try to organize their temporary, migrant workers without any financial compensation paid to the land owners. In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled this was a violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, and thus prohibited. Justice Roberts referred to this as the “Takings Clause” of the 5th Amendment, and he further stated property owners have an inherent “right to exclude” as a fundamental aspect of American property rights which cannot be taken away by any government.
WOW! Joe Biden really did say that if Americans think they have any “right” to own weapons under the Second Amendment for the purpose of “controlling the Federal Government”, then We The People are wrong. He said we will need F-15s and nuclear weapons! Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr compare this declaration by Joe Biden (and the Biden Administration) to the Chinese Tiananmen Square Massacre in June, 1989, where thousands of peaceful demonstrators were brutally killed. Now you understand what the Socialist-Marxist Democrats really intend to do and why they are determined to confiscate all our personally owned weapons…..to leave us as defenseless as those Chinese. And knowing the top leaders of the American military are so deep into the Democrat “wokeness” today is also a concern. Biden definitely was threatening use of the military against the American people, even though the American military is never supposed to be used against us.
The State of Mississippi has just been sued by he Mississippi Humanist Association and American Atheists Inc. because their State license plate has “In God We Trust”. They claim it forces them display a religious message on their vehicles, as well as cleaning it violates their Freedom of Speech. Since it is the motto of the United States and has it printed on our money since 1864, this is going to be an interesting case to follow.
Winning at anything should not be so important that it justifies cheating, especially not when it involves kids’ sports and the adults are the ones doing it. Too much of our culture today had devolved into those depths, however. Rather than saying “everyone is doing it”, good Americans need to start investigating it and working to make it public. (If you know of a cheating story, contact us at American Ground Radio.)
Having said that, this segment of @American Mamas is very personal to Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur. Catholic High School in Baton Rouge has just been sanctioned by the Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA) for recruiting violations, and Championship titles have been stripped for its various State Titles between 2017 through 2020. Apparently, there was some major recruiting of athletes, following scouting of middle schools, which is not permitted. Even though Catholic High School was fined and the titles stripped, the recruited players were not ordered back to their “zoned school of attendance,” and will be allowed to continue being students at Catholic High School. These students were not the ones doing the cheating. It was adults.
The Democrats are much more interested in enabling illegals to become voting Democrats than they are about protecting the American citizens. As a result, it seems to have taken the fear of Donald Trump getting to the Texas-Mexico border before Kamala Harris got her “photo opportunity” to finally get her to make the trip. However, if she really wanted to learn about the border problems, she would be going to Del Rio with Rep. Henry Cuellar (D) instead of to El Paso (home of Beto).
The problem of a continual decline in the birthrate there start to be a decline in eligible people to replace people leaving the work force because of age, retirement, or death. Germany, Bosnia, Italy, France, Belgium, Japan, South Korea, and the United States are among a number of Nations experiencing a definite decline in the number of live births in recent years. In the US, this trend started about 2007, as the economy dropped, and it really has not recovered. There are several reasons for a declining birthrate, including the cost of raising a child today, and a sense of political instability. The states hardest hit in the last part of 2020 are New Mexico, New York, California, Hawaii, and West Virginia. Except for West Virginia, the other states had the strictest COVID lockdowns.
Cars.com tracks several factors to determine how much of each automobile is really a “Made in America” vehicle — meaning where it was assembly, the percentage of its parts are American manufactured, where the engines and transmissions were manufactured, and how much of the labor to make it is actually American. The results can be surprising, and you cannot go by the brand name any more.
1.) Tesla Model 3, 2.) Ford Mustang, 3.) Tesla Model Y, 4.) Jeep Cherokee, 5.) Chevrolet Corvette, 6.) Honda Ridgeline, 7.) Honda Odyssey, 8.) Honda Pilot:, 9.) Honda Passport, 10.) Toyota Tundra, 11.) Ford Expedition, Expedition Max, 12.) Acura RDX, 13.) Acura TLX, 14.) Chevrolet Colorado, 15.) GMC Canyon, 16. Jeep Grand Cherokee, 17.) Honda Accord, 19.) Lexus ES, and 20.) Lincoln Navigator.
The problem began with Obama declaring he was going to totally transform America, if you recall. And now we don’t know who is really making decisions in the White House, but we do know a lot of Obama people are working there. They are determined to complete Obama’s transformation as fast as they can, preferably before the 2022 elections, and the Big Press is working hard to help them! So are too many people from Hollywood and professional sports. They do not like the Second Sentence of the Declaration of Independence….especially the part about all of us being created equal. America’s Grassroots do love that sentence, and are beginning to rise up and fight back.
At this point, America’s BIGGEST problem is no longer the number of people who are vaccinated…..something which is a HIPAA protected, individual Freedom of Choice matter to begin with! But Kamala Harris doesn’t care. She wants Democrats to start harassing their neighbors, and she has put out suggestions on how to do that. (If she really wanted to address a true American problem, she is welcome to visit the Texas-Mexico border any time.)
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, find Josephine “Joy” Behar’s continual behavior to be totally unacceptable and intolerable; but this time she really went too far. Unfortunately, the double-standard Democrats continue to give her a “free pass” when they would run all conservatives completely out of the industry if they had said such a thing in public.
It is now being made public that Stacy Abrams, through the employment agency, “Happy Faces Personnel Group”, supplied the staffing for all of the Nov 3rd General Election and the Jan 5th U.S. Georgia Senate runoff in Fulton Co, Georgia, and perhaps throughout Georgia. It appears to have been going on since sometime in 2015, and there is reason to believe it included a Nigerian National who was hired by the Dominion Voting Systems to be their “technician” for Fulton County. This means, Democrat operative Stacy Abrams had 100% control over the elections in Georgia.
Looking at 43 countries and all 50 states, the National Bureau of Economic Research studied the effectiveness of the “shelter in place” requirements in response to COVID-19. We now know one of the most common places to catch the coronavirus was in the home. Thus, “shelter in place” polities did not save lives. In fact, in some states or countries, it actually caused more deaths than would have otherwise been expected. “Shelter in place” worked best on islands, such as Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, and Malta. Not all the deaths were due to COVID-19. Deaths related to depression and despair also increased.
In 1806, the US Senate added a new provision to the way the Senate operates. It allows debate among the Senators over a bill to continue as long as a Senator kept talking and as long as there are less than 60 Senators voting to stop the debate and move on to a vote. During the first 2 years of the Trump Administration, the Democrats used the filibuster numerous times to block legislation Trump and the Republican House and Senate really wanted. Now that the situation is reversed, the Democrats are complaining the filibuster is preventing them from passing legislation they really want…..but which Republicans believe would do great harm to the Nation. Thus, the filibuster prevents “populist mob rule” and protects our Nation as a Republic. No. It is not a “Jim Crow” provision, and it definitely should not be eliminated.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the conflict between the values America is founded upon, which are based upon the fundamentals of the Judeo-Christian value system, and the Socialist Democrats’ extreme focus on obtaining complete power over the American people. It causes the Socialist Democrats and their supporters to treat the American people as if they are stupid, as illustrated by their constant dishonesty and manipulation of what constitutes their “news” and what they publicly say to “make news”. They get offended by things that do not actually exist and by things others did not actually say, and then they blow it up completely out of proportion to reality.
As shown by their behavior and the way they “choose” to enforce — or not to enforce — the violent, criminal laws of the States and of the Nation, the Democrats are pushing us towards anarchy as fast as they can, because then they can VOID THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS! The Democrats want total power over the American people, but they cannot turn us into a Marxist-Socialist-Communist government as long as WE THE PEOPLE have Rights! Either America, including the 50 States, is a Nation of Laws or we are a Nation of Anarchy.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are hopeful the tide is turning against this very racist, Democrat movement of “Critical Race Theory” (CRT) movement involving school indoctrination of our children to believe skin color is more important than character — absolutely is not true and exactly what Martin Luther King was against! It must be a grass roots movement to stop it, and it must be aggressively fought in front of each and every school board in every community throughout the Nation. What is going on in your town, and have you joined the movement to protect our children?
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Putin is thrilled with the United States’ weakness under the Biden Administration! Putin got 100% of what he wanted from Biden, but what did Biden get in return? No, we got nothing from what the American Public can tell. Clearly Putin prefers to deal with Biden than with Trump, because Trump was a barrier to Putin getting his way. The word “appeasement” comes to mind in regards to this just concluded Putin-Biden Summit.
In the Democrat Primary NYC Mayoral Election, there are 13 candidates on the ballot. (The Republicans have only 2 candidates, by the way.) In this “Ranked Choice” election process, each voter can vote for up to 5 candidates, ranking their votes as 1 through 5. After the absentee ballots are received, the counting will begin, and the bottom candidate will be tossed out. Every vote for that bottom candidate as their #1 choice now will have their #2 choice step up and everything will be recounted. Real Clear Politics says the candidate in the lead after the first round almost always wins after this complicated counting process is complete.
Another Democrat double-standard in the category of “one set of justice standards for me (no consequences) and a truly extreme set of very harsh judicial standards for everyone else (especially Republicans)”! A 20-year old man intentionally left tire tracks across the permanent LGBTQ Pride Streetscape painted in the intersection at NE 2nd Avenue and NE 1st Street, which is now being called "Pride Intersection”, in Delray Beach, Florida. Because the vandalism was intentional, the Palm Beach County Human Rights Council, Inc. demanded the charges be made a felony as a “hate crime”. Wasn’t the rioting all across the Nation in the last year intentional? How many of those offenders have been charged with a felony?
Zuckerberg’s $400 million donated, through Center for Tech and Civic Life, to local election offices in Madison, Milwaukee, Detroit, Lansing, Philadelphia, Houston, and Atlanta, among other key communities, was to make certain Democrats won. This money is now being called Zuckerbucks. They truly did turn local election offices into a Democrat political machine which is now proving to have been very corrupt. Fortunately, a number of states are banning such private financial influence in the election process.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the importance of Fathers and the life lessons they can pass on to their children. The role of fathers in raising children should never be discounted by society, and since LBJ, government has done just that!
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, so strongly believe in the importance of families, regardless of anyone’s skin color, that the idea of Oprah Winfrey only focusing upon Black Fathers on her Fathers Day show is somewhat troubling. She would be against a White Fathers Only program, so why would she do it? America cannot continue to let the extremists in the Democrat Party make everything about race when clearly it is not.
Joe Biden needs to decide if he is really a Catholic, or if he only says he is Catholic when it served his political purposes. He clearly supports abortions, which goes against the teachings of his Catholic faith. He cannot have it both ways. And yes, it is a private matter between him and God……except he used it for political purposes while running for President, which thus made it a public matter.
Big Media just cannot help itself. They are so unable to be honest with themselves any more and they think the American public is stupid. No! Biden’s meeting with Putin wasn’t a great success, and no, he was not able to hold his own with Putin. Putin walked away from that one the clear victor!
Fake News Friday
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr agree businesses have a right to make choices about how to market their products; but they also believe some current marketing decisions are going to hurt both an entire generation of children, because of confusing real life messages, and those companies' profits at the same time. While it may make the “woke” extremists happy, a number of companies are learning the hard way that it be a pretty dumb decision business wise in the longer run — and some times they discover it fast! Sales for “Sports Illustration” and “Victoria’s Secret” will be worth watching.
Shoreline Junior High in Layton, Utah printed their yearbook without the picture of the Cheerleader Team’s Manager, who has Downs Syndrome. They did take a picture of 14-year old Morgyn as part of the team, but they also took a second one without her — the one they used. Because there were two pictures, this was a deliberate choice approved by an adult. Our @American Mamas, Denise Arthur, calls this “low down”, and explains there has been substantial backlash because of it. Denise further points out that Morgyn hasn’t even been able to have a cheerleading uniform, as all the other girls have, even thought she has been learning all the routines all year. Now that this has become so public, the school says it was a “mistake”. Really?
Did Biden’s Administration really plan to have the “Mexican Coyotoes” (human smugglers) get Central American children into the United States and then to fly their parents into the US, with the American taxpayers paying their airfare? Were they coordinating this with the Coyotes in advance? The Biden Administration has said they “promote family unification”, and according to the President of Guatemala, the Coyotes were in the streets of Guatemala telling the parents to pay them to take their children to the US so the parents could then be reunified with the children inside America.
Are you a citizen of the United States? The majority of native born US citizens cannot pass the US Citizenship test! You don’t want to be in that group, because uninformed voters are actually endangering our Nation! Go to https://www.boundless.com/immigration-resources/citizenship-test-questions-and-answers/ and scroll down. You will find the questions and answers for the 2008 test. [Might want to bookmark it and go back to it from time to time.]
The intolerant viciousness of the extreme left, being Democrats and the Press, against Conservatives discourages good young people from considering running for political office at any level of government. But we must have good people willing to do so in order to save the Nation. And it needs to start at the grass roots, neighborhood level.
The City of Philadelphia had refused to work with a local Catholic foster care organization because it would not use same-sex couples as foster parents because it went against their religious beliefs under the 1st Amendment. In a 9-0 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the City of Philadelphia could not force a religious group to work with LGBTQ citizens. Stephen Parr explains the details of this ruling.
The Chief Medical Examiner in Washington, DC, ruled Ashley Babbitt’s death was a homicide caused by being shot by the Capitol Police Officer (who still has not been identified). Yet, the Biden DOJ has announced it has closed that case. Louis Avallone reviews all the truly violent rioting going on across the country, and none of those people, including BLM and Antifa rioters, have been charged, which highlights the reality that for Democrats, there is a 2-tiered system of justice today. This is a situation which our Nation cannot tolerate if we are to survive. We must be EQUAL JUSTICE FOR ALL.
Does anyone think the way to deal with a school yard bully is to present a written list of demands that the bully “just must not do any more”? So why in the world did the Biden Administration think that giving Putin a list of was a smart thing to do with Putin? Biden is proud of giving Putin a list of things the Russians just must not cyber attack in the United States any more! He said “I gave [Putin] a list of…16 specific entities, 16 defined as critical infrastructure under US policy from the energy sector to our water systems,” Did we not just put a target on those?
Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur, says Chrissy Teigen keeps trying to make herself relevant by being a bully, and she has a history of her unkind behavior, including trying to destroy people’s careers. Talk about the “Captain of the Mean Girls Club”! But she has a solution — Oprah! The idea is this: “If Oprah can forgive Chrissy, then so can the nation.”
Abortion clinics are not good about providing full disclosure regarding options other than an abortion. The Louisiana Legislature has passed a bill which would make a little more disclosure mandatory for chemical induced abortions. The physician would now be required to provide written disclosure that if taken immediately, there is another pill which gives the woman and the unborn baby a second chance. So many women have lived to regret their decision to end their unborn babies lives. This helps to give them both one last chance. The Louisiana Governor still needs to sign it.
Even though so many in the eastern part of the United States were in big trouble of not having gasoline when the Colonial Pipeline was hacked, the entire Democrat Party is totally committed to destroying the entire Oil and Gas Industry, for the purpose of forcing everyone into driving “electric” cars and living in “solar” houses. This is very flawed thinking because the overall damage done by solar, wind, and electric battery products to the environment worldwide is huge. But having shut down the Keystone Pipeline, the Democrats are trying to go for all the others….again ignoring that it is so much environment friendly to transport oil and gas by pipe than by truck or rail.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has invited Donald Trump to come to the Texas-Mexico Southern Border for a tour of the problems since VP Kamala Harris refuses to do so, which is actually her job! Everyone’s best guess as to why she is refusing to come is that the National Press would come with her — and THEN everyone in America would know the Democrats had deliberately destroyed everything that was working to secure the security of the United States!
In celebrating Juneteenth, it is important to remember it was the Republicans who freed the Slaves who were owned by Democrats. But in creating Juneteenth as a National Holiday, the Democrats are, once again, trying to make the Blacks think they are “the good guys” and the Republicans are the evil ones….at least when you hear what some of the Congressional leaders had to say about it. This should be a good celebration, but only if remembered honestly and factually. The slaves were freed because the Democrats in the South were defeated in the Civil War.
Andy Slavitt, who is a long-term government bureaucrat and not a physician, has a book out attacking President Trump’s handling of the Coronavirus in the United States! He also is attacking WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE claiming we did not sacrifice enough! He never seems to mention that we should not be funding research in China to develop viruses in test tubes so we can make viruses more deadly. He never seems to think all the people who lost businesses and/or jobs, all the mental health crises individuals contended with (and too many ending in suicide), all the anguish of parents and other loved ones dying alone, all the people who didn’t catch terrible diseases soon enough because they could not get normal healthcare screenings, or all the children who lost an entire year of school could be “enough sacrifice”. So who is this guy? He is the former acting chief of Medicare and Medicaid for 2 years under the Obama administration and the former senior White House COVID-19 adviser for 5 months under Biden.
Talk about carrying this liberal, socialist “wokeness” too far! Eric Deggans, a black NPR TV critic, is very critical of Tom Hanks’ lifetime history of making very successful, very entertaining movies, including “Splash”, “Big”, “A League of Their Own”, “Forrest Gump”, “Saving Private Ryan”, “Apollo 13”, “Cast Away”, “Charlie Wilson’s War”, “Bridge of Spies”, “The Post”, “Band of Brothers”, “Sleepless in Seattle”, “Toy Story”, “You’ve Got Mail”, and “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood”. Deggans thinks Hanks needs to start being less “racist” in his movies, and instead needs to start doing a better job of telling the stories of oppressed black men. Well……the reality is Tom Hanks skin color is not black. Perhaps a man with black skin would do a better job of that.
Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur, explains divorce does not just affect the parents. It also always involves the children as well. So if one parent behaves quite inappropriately towards the other parent, especially publicly, it is going to impact the children, too. So the Virginia father who dumped 80,000 pennies in the street in front of his ex-wife’s house as his final child support payment — well, he told everyone more about himself than he probably wishes he had. The mother, on the other hand, showed true class by donating that $800 to Safe Harbor, a domestic abuse center. That action was so well received others from all over the world also made donations.
Stephen Parr goes through example after example of the Socialist Democrats accusing Donald Trump of lying when the very words coming out of their mouth or being printed in the news were the actual lies. Now, Trump is saying the 2020 election was stolen. There is a definite pattern here.
Louis Avallone explains how Biden’s staff prepares flash cards for him to remember important things, such as he wants the DOJ to reflect his values and his principles because Trump abused power. What? Biden’s corrupt values and principles?
The Bright Spot is Jon Stewart told Stephen Colbert “I think we owe a great debt of gratitude to science. Science has, in many ways, helped ease the suffering of this pandemic, which was more than likely caused by science.” He went on to say scientists are going to kill us all. When Stewart says something like that, the socialist media will not really be able to continue covering up the truth.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr take a look at the socialist Democrats’ constant and incorrect assertions that all race problems in America are because of “white supremacy”. They never care to ask why Sen. Warren kept claiming she was a Native Indian when she wasn’t, nor why is isn't deemed to be “black hate crimes” when the majority of Asian attacks are done by blacks. None of it makes any sense. At this point in American history, if someone’s primary focus is RACE, that is not a society problem. It is an individual problem.
Emmanuel Slack, a truly remarkable 17-year old who died in a house fire last week, set a truly impressive example of how to serve America — one we all ought to strive to follow. The tributes paid to him during his funeral by a very diverse mix of people, including Louisiana Members of Congress, Louisiana State Officials, the local NAACP, his school, and even the Governor of Texas, illustrate how much his personal strength of character and his commitment to conservative American values truly impressed those who knew him. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, urge us all to do a better job of mentoring those around us to help make our communities better places to be. This should become Emmanuel’s living legacy.
We cannot take this losing any more, Mr. President. Please stop. Just do nothing and we will be better off.
Individual citizens really can make a difference! A retired teacher, Colleen Vera, now with Texas Trash Talk ( http://www.texastrashtalk.com/ ), has been investigating illegal voting activities in Harris County (Houston), TX. Having to file for documentation through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), Colleen and her team discovered a number of dead people who had applied for absentee ballots for the 2020 election cycle. She shares that information with us, and you can see pictures of the evidence on the Texas Trash Talk website. More information is still working on, and she will keep American Ground Radio informed as more evidence is developed and turned over to authorities.
he Biden Administration is in the process of creating the same huge messes in America as President Carter’s Administration did, and often for the same reasons. Biden is moving us towards the doubling of gasoline prices, doubling of inflation, doubling of interest rates, having unemployment in double digits, and creating an absolute foreign policy disaster (especially with Iran and Islamic Terrorists in the Middle East). Today, Carter is 96 years old. Biden is 78. Who is more mentally alert today?
Bill Maher used his HBO show to “call out” all the socialist-Democrats for being dishonest in their current claims of how horrible America’s social and cultural issues are, where they imply everything is horrible and the faults of whites. He points out that they are going to far because they don’t see that progress actually has been made in the past 50 years. Maher said they have a bad case of “progressophobia,” which he explains is "a brain disorder that strikes liberals and makes them incapable of recognizing progress.” He further said, "But saying that White power and privilege is at an all-time high is just ridiculous. Higher than a century ago, the year of the Tulsa Race Massacre? Higher than the years when the KKK rode unchecked and Jim Crow went unchallenged? Higher than the 1960s when The Supremes and Willie Mays still couldn't stay at the same hotel as the White people they were working with? Higher than during slavery?"
Once a person’s income can satisfy basic needs of food, shelter, and security, how much more money one makes decreases money’s impact upon personal happiness. At a certain point, other aspects of the job more importance, including respect from superiors and co-workers and the ability to do the job without continual pressure from micromanagement. However, we are constantly being told the Government “needs” to require employee pay to “keep them happy”…..whether is it in the government or private sector. Keep in mind most government employees already make more money for the same work than the average American does in the private sector, so how much of these government pay raises will actually be going to the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) in the form of Union Dues to support the Democrat Party?
The Federal Department of Justice has not behaved in an unbiased way, politically speaking, for some time — years, in fact! During the 2020 Presidential Election, it did not show much interest in voting integrity, and now Attorney General seems to be very worried about the various 2020 Election Audits taking place around the Country, including GOP controlled State Legislature and Court Order audits. He is going to use the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ to “scrutinize” post-election audits looking for “misconduct” by those doing the audits — essentially trying to intimidate those volunteering to do the audit work. It is clear Garland is far more concerned about what information about voter fraud might become known than whether or not it happened in the first place.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are so proud of Virginia Lilit Vanetsyan who spoke out against this incorrect hatred of racist teaching going on in the classrooms today. She said, “It may seem that our careers have come to a dead end, but I’m here to remind you we don’t work for the school board. We work to mold the next generation of well-rounded, American patriots. So don’t give up, because it is up to us.” She then added, “Students, you are on the front lines of these indoctrination camps. Challenge the staff when you’re presented with a ludicrous statement, and do not allow anybody to tell you that you cannot accomplish anything because of your skin color, or to hate yourself because of your skin color.”
How is your state doing? The degree to which a state is governed by Republicans or Democrats heavily impacts its economic recovery from the Coronavirus Shutdowns in 2020. The Governor is critical, but so is the Legislature. The earlier a state dropped its lockdown orders, the better the state is doing economically today. Interestingly, the data is showing every single state which completely dropped its COVID restrictions by May 1, 2021, is now above average in its economic recovery. Also, every single state which fully reopened before May 1st has a Republican Governor and Legislature. 12 states haven't fully reopened yet, and 10 of those have Democrat governors. Furthermore, the only state which is actually doing better right now than before the pandemic is South Dakota, which has been wide open since May 11, 2020.
CNN has reinstated Jeffrey Toobin as their Chief Legal Analyst after his suspension for exposing himself during a Zoom meeting last October. And the irony of being the “Chief Legal Analyst” who committed a sexual act, broadcast live on Zoom…. WOW! Furthermore, for CNN to return Toobin to broadcast says volumes about the questionable value structure of CNN and its Executives. Surely there is another lawyer who could have done that job!
Why does the Left, especially the Media, look the other way when it involves Democrats committing sex crimes — with actual proof it happened? They are absolutely intolerant of conservatives for TOTALLY MADE UP FALSEHOODS, including former President Trump!
Joe Biden told members of the US Air Force stationed in England that he keeps forgetting he is President. And the reason might be because Jill Biden thinks she is President as evidenced by a photo of her at the Air Force One Presidential Desk supposedly prepping for the G-7 Summit in Europe.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, think passing out cookies with Kamala’s face on them to the press corps on Air Force Two to Guatemala was a really dumb idea. Who does that? The sad truth is it shows how “shallow” and “narcissistic” our Vice President really is.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr review a list of names given to Democrat Congressional Bills which are intended to do the exact opposite of what their names indicate. They do it to mask the truth and to draw public support they would never get otherwise.
Catching up to much of the American public’s “Common Sense” point of view, in April, 2021, the CDC finally said you don’t have to wear a mask outside in public any more if you have had your vaccines. So why are people still wearing masks in their cars? Outside in the great outdoors? Ami Horowitz interviewed people on the New York City streets about why they were still wearing masks outside after being vaccinated. He found three basic reasons: “Social pressure, extreme and irrational fear, and a middle finger to the people who didn't want to wear masks.”
Rep. Ilhan Omar declared, “We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban,” to which 12 Democrat Jewish Congressional members responded with their own statement, saying “…equating the United States and Israel to Hamas and the Taliban is as offensive as it is misguided.” Tensions within the Congressional Democrats were not helped with this exchange.
Some US Presidents have shown far more respect for the Office of the President of the United States, to which they have been elected, than others have. The degree of respect they personally show has a profound impact upon the degree of respect other Nations will have for us. This week, the First Lady has to tell the President to “pay attention”, and Kamala gets lectured to by Latin American Presidents! Geez!
Under President Trump, America was providing substantial leadership in solving world conflicts and providing strong leadership. Under the Biden Administration, however, about 60% of Europeans believe China will overtake and replace the USA in that dominant leadership position. This problem started with Obama as he went around Europe and the Middle East apologizing for the United States.
Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are quite moved and very impressed by 30-year old Jane Marczweski, who sings under the name of Nightbirde, after watching her performance on America’s Got Talent. Fighting cancer for the 3rd time, which is now in her lungs, spine, and liver, she told Simon Cowell “You can’t wait until life isn’t hard any more before you decide to be happy.” She only has a 2% chance of beating this, but she said it isn’t 0% so that is something. She further explained she is so much more than the bad things that have happened to her. We all need to learn from her example.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is so disappointed to have heard Kamala Harris telling the people of Guatemala to not come to the USA illegally through the Southern border. A lot of the policies the Democrats claim to “help” minorities, do not, or they definitely hurt one of the segments of minorities, such as Asians.
Hispanics are 17.6%, Blacks are 12.3%, and Asians are 5.3% of the American population. If we want to support “all minorities” (who in the United States legally), then we have to do what helps ALL minority groups. Democrats have a long history of not doing that. Stephen Parr explains the problem.
Individuals really can make difference! Dr. David McKenas, who is board-certified specialist in both Aerospace Medicine and Occupational Medicine, was the Corporate Medical Director for American Airlines following his time at NASA. He understood life-threatening medical problems that can occur on aircraft in flight, and in 1998, he managed to convince American Airlines to install life-saving defibrillators in all of its planes and to train all of their flight attendants on how to use them. Dr. McKenas tells a true story of how just days after the defibrillator was put one one airplane, it was used to safe a passenger’s life……and also the life of the flight attendant who used it.
Because Kamala Harris has been made responsible for solving the southern border mess and still has not gone to the Border to look at the problems (which Biden caused), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) took a life-size cutout of Harris to McAllen, TX to explain to “her” the problems on the border. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr agree that with all crises and serious problems, the person responsible for solving the situation must go look at it in person — something George W. Bush learned the hard way flying over Katrina instead of going in person.
The Nobel Peace Prize really should be awarded only to people who actually did bring about Peace in the World…..not to people for “popular” political reasons. Sometimes, the Nobel Committee messes up on this! Let’s hope this time they do give it to someone who truly brought Peace to the Middle East.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are dismayed. NYC practicing psychiatrist, Dr. Aruna Khilanani, is quoted as saying, “There are no good apples out there. White people make my blood boil.” She further declared, “I had fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way, burying their body and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away relatively guiltless with a bounce in my step, like I did the world a favor,” adding an expletive. A perspective patient tweeted, “When I entered her office she put a revolver to my head and said I needed to play five rounds of Russian roulette before I could get an appointment.” It will be interesting to see of the State of New York lets Dr. Khilanani continue to practice psychiatry now that her talk at Yale University’s School of Medicine is public.
MSNBC contributor Mara Gay said she was very disturbed by seeing “dozens and dozens of pickup trucks with [expletives] against Joe Biden on the back of them, Trump flags, and, in some cases, just dozens of American flags, which is also just disturbing…” She further made the incredible declaration of Patriots and Trump supporters do not "own" the USA, saying, “Essentially, the message was clear ... This is my country. This is not your country. I own this.”
The Democrats strongly believe Demographics are their destiny for power and control. They believe if enough people from enough blue states move to Texas, they can flip Texas blue. And by controlling Texas, they can control the Nation. Stephen Parr explains two different surveys show so many of those moving to Texas from other states, including blue states, are actually more conservative than the average Texan. Louis Avallone adds those moving to Texas are very happy with more FREEDOM in Texas than exists in blue, Democrat controlled states.
We do not need a whole month to celebrate and to respect the individual choice of Gay Pride. This should be a personal choice made by a person with appropriate maturity. It is not appropriate to engage in efforts to indoctrinate children in any aspects of their sexuality when they are still young children. Let the children be children.
Attacking WV Democrat Senator Joe Manchin, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) tweeted, “Republicans have decided that the only way they can win is by preventing American citizens from voting. That should shock every American. But we can’t just sit back and watch their power grab. We have to fight back for our democracy by passing the #ForThePeopleAct.”
Well, class act Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) jumped in with his tweet, “Hey @jack, I think you’re supposed to put a fact-check notice on these right? Since her claim isn’t just “disputed or misleading”… but a blatant lie? Just wondering if those standards are the normal kind or the double kind?”
Then, Crenshaw’s former Democrat opponent (whom he defeated, thank goodness) jumped in with this tweet: “The reason you can't see the objective truth isn't because of your eyes; its because how far you have your nose up your Dear Leader's a$$.” Crenshaw responded with “Actually, it’s just 'eye,' singular.”
She ended up taking her tweeter account private, but not before others got screen shots of it!
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Justice Stephen Breyer, and Justice Brett Kavanaugh rejected a military draft sex discrimination case, saying it is a matter for the Congress. This means the men’s Military Draft remains the current law. Women can volunteer for military service, even combat. They just cannot be drafted.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr compare US Military Recruitment Ad Campaigns of the current Biden Administration to those of years past! And remember, this is who will be defending our Nation against other Nation enemies truly determined to destroy us!
Our American Mama, Denise Arthur, says she went to the “Land of DeSantis” and felt “born again” because all COVID restrictions no longer exist in Florida! No masks! No attendance restrictions. No "where to eat meals" restrictions. No music, singing, and dancing restrictions. No “immediate family only” restrictions. Denise insists that people need to be free again…..our Nation’s emotional health is at risk otherwise.
Half of our 50 States are now taking actions — by suing the Federal Government, by legislative actions, and/or by Governor executive orders — to protect the States from the Federal over-reach of the Biden Administration and of the Socialist Democrat controlled Congress. This is why the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution is so critically important: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people”.
Stephen Quay, founder of Seattle-based Atossa Therapeutics Inc, and Richard Muller, a physics professor at the University of California Berkeley, just added substantial scientific knowledge to explain the now apparent Chinese creation of COVID-19 in the Wuhan Labs, as well as Fauci’s secret support for the research (as known from his now disclosed e-mails). As Quay and Muller wrote for the Wall Street Journal, “Covid-19 has a genetic footprint that has never been observed in a natural coronavirus.” SARS or MERS also were coronaviruses, but they did not have a critical DNA pattern called “CGG-CGG”. Quay and Muller explain how that “CGG-CGG” is only man-made in the labs.
So….the Socialist Democrats have used “Mask Mandates” all over the Nation as a way to condition Americans to “obey” government orders which otherwise are in conflict with individual Constitutional Rights. And now look what they have done to “their” protected environment! It takes 450 years for masks made with any kind of petroleum product to decompose in nature. And how many were made with synthetic oil-based products?
California Federal District Judge Roger Benitez ruled the California’s 32-year old ban of “assault weapons”, including the AR-15, is unconstitutional. He explained, “Government is not free to impose its own new policy choices on American citizens where Constitutional rights are concerned.” He even called the California law a “failed experiment”. He agreed the AR-15 could be used on a battlefield, but pointed out that so could the Swiss Army Knife. Furthermore, both definitely could be used for home defense, which is precisely the purpose behind the 2nd Amendment. The case will now be appealed to the 9th Circuit, and then to the Supreme Court, in all likelihood.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr consider the consequences of the Biden Administration’s “American Families Plan”. It’s purpose seems to be to grow Big Government even further into American person, private family business, never mind if it is actually a States Rights matter or not…..or even if it is actually legal. It is all part of the Marxist Socialist goals of the Democrat Party to transform America into something the Founding Fathers never intended. There is reason to be concerned about what the children will be taught by the schools, especially considering the false teachings of history and of critical race theory.
Gov. Abbott has announced that Texas has no choice but to start arresting every illegal coming into Texas along the southern border with Mexico. He said it won’t just be for trespassing, but also for smuggling, human trafficking, and other crimes. In addition, all child care facilities which cooperate with the Federal Government in providing shelter those not legally in Texas will lose their license to operate.
If you are doing your family’s shopping, be aware of what is happening to the packaging. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville, explains the concept of “shrinkflation” and how it is being used to hide true price inflation in the products available for sale on the shelves.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain Facebook’s blocking all of Donald Trump’s accounts until January 2023 is effectively an “In Kind” financial donation to the Democrat Party, and as such, it must be reported to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for the next 2 years. “In Kind” donations are donations of goods, services, or other items of value to a political campaign. Completely blocking the former President and the leader of the Republican Party from being able to speak at all on Facebook throughout the entire 2022 Election Cycle is a very substantial political donation! So, exactly how is that going to work?
Tyton Partners and the Walton Family Foundation studied how the Pandemic impacted education within the families and schools with no warning. Utilization and opportunities of systems of learning, outside the formal classroom, have rapidly grown because parents were forced to take greater responsibility for their children’s education. Regular public and private school enrollments decreased by 2.6 million students, while “charter schools, homeschooling, learning pods [adult supervised, small groups often meeting in someone’s home], and microschools” grew. But the real tragic losses hit the poorest families and families where all the adults had to work.
American communities are being hard hit with increasing violent crimes, and too many Democrat politicians don’t seem to think they have any solutions, except for one! Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez announced publicly that the way to stop violent crime is to stop building jails and start building hospitals. Without question, not building jails is definitely one way to reduce the number of people being held in jails! A variety of New York City Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Rep. Jamaal Bowman, also attending this public announcement. She also thinks we should pay community organizers. (Isn’t that part of the Democrat Party’s system of operations, as Obama was a “community organizer” before becoming a politician.). What she really is doing is trying to “earmark” money for a hospital in her district.
Stephen Parr explains AOC’s idea of building fewer jails is not new, and definitely not a good idea! California had not build new prisons since the 1960’s and by the 1980’s, it had a serious over-population prison problem. So California decided build about half as many new prisons as it then actually needed. By 2011, the US Supreme Court ruled California inmates’ 8th Amendment Rights were being violated by the extreme overcrowding. Louis Avallone also points out that 88 politicians have been murdered in Mexico since September, 2020! The lawlessness at the Southern Border, the Defund the Police movement, the irrational idea of building fewer prisons, and other destabilizing issues could make America an even more dangerous place. Politicians are putting even themselves at risk.
If you have lived long enough, you have had opportunities to learn first-hand that life is not always fair. Everyone must deal with adversity at some point along the way. Our American Mama, Teri Netterville, shares her personal understanding that all of our “greats” in America have had to deal with adversity at some point. The keys are their perseverance of not giving up and their reliance on their God for support to get through the adversity. As Babe Ruth said, “It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up.” Look for books about such Greats and start building your own personal library of inspiration.
Power Causes Brain Damage….Power affects the part of the brain that processes empathy; so as you get power and you believe you deserve the power you have, your brain loses its ability to have empathy for other people. An excellent example of this is our Exhibit A: “Lord” Anthony Fauci, who lied, and as a result, people died.
Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has notified the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) that unless substantial changes are made well in advance of any future Presidential elections, she will have “no choice but to advise future Republican candidates against participating in CPD-hosted debates.” Presidential Debates are supposed to be a non-partisan and federally funded, but there is a long history of both the moderators and the CPD being very pro-Democrat, election after election. Journalist Yashar Ali said, “The people who make critical decisions about the country’s presidential debates—events that impact how Americans will vote or if they vote at all—are, for the most part, elites who are part of the D.C.-New York clique known as the swamp,”
Even with huge financial loses, professional sports just continues to “Be Woke”. Apparently, either they are too rich or don't learn from previous mistakes! Just respect the American Flag, the American Anthem, the American Military, and play ball. That is all we ask. Why would that be so hard for a bunch of rich athletes to do?
In response to the NYT’s 1619 Project to rewrite American History in a way that is not factually true, President Trump created the 1776 Commission in September, 2020. The 1776 Commission produced a report promoting Patriotic Education just before Biden was sworn in. It denounced identity politics, including Critical Race Theory, and focused on the self-evident truth that we are all created equal. Biden almost immediately removed the report from the White House website; but so many had already downloaded and then re-uploaded the report, making it impossible to “kill”. And the 1776 Commission members are determined to continue meeting to complete their work.
You probably didn’t know until this week that the KKK was responsible for the Tulsa Race Massacre and Riot in 1921, where 100 or more blacks were killed, more than 1,400 buildings were burned to the ground, and more than 10,000 blacks were left homeless. But did you remember the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was a white supremacist arm of the Democrat Party or did you know Joe Biden’s good friend, Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV), was once head of his local KKK? (Biden even spoke at his funeral.) Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr review the history.
Biden said we need to embrace our American History — “the good, the bad, and the ugly”. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr agree. But over the past few years, the Democrats have actually done exactly the opposite. To illustrate the point, as soon as Biden took office, he stopped the 1776 Project which was a review of truthful information about the founding of America, while he made no effort to stop the false 1619 Project attempt rewrite a made up, new American History. Has the Big Media reported this fact of Biden and Democrat hypocrisy?
Our American Mama, Teri Netterville, reminds us all it is time to thank our teachers for all the struggles and difficulties they have had to overcome this year. And we all look forward to the classrooms returning to a more normal educational environment next fall.
We are supposed to have "three separate but equal" branches of our Federal Government; however, apparently the Democrats do not respect that fact. Two of the Senate’s long-term, very elderly, and quite extremist Democrat members have threatened members of the Supreme Court that if upcoming rulings, especially regarding abortion, do not go the way these two senators want, the Congressional Democrats intend to rip the Supreme Court apart. That just seems to be the way Democrats think these days…..”give us want we want or we will attack and destroy”.
Democrats are doing everything they can to try to prevent the various States from taking better measures to ensure people cannot cheat in the voting process. For example, they are acting like requiring Photo ID would be a really bad thing to do. But Stephen Parr explains Mexico, Northern Ireland, and 46 other European Countries which require Photo ID to vote. Most do not allow absentee voting at all, including Mexico. Furthermore, contrary to Democrat “talking point claims”, when Mexico went to its required Voter ID, their voter participation increased by an additional 9% (from 59% to 68%). Our voting laws are far too lax. We've made cheating at the ballot box too easy.
Believing BLM really did care about Black Lives, Rashad Turner founded the St. Paul, MN Chapter of Black Lives Matter in 2015.” On the inside, he learned the truth — BLM does not care about Black lives, Black families, nor Black education. He remained true to his own personal convictions, and quit BLM a year later. Having been raised by his grandparents and with their support earned a Master's in Education from St. Mary's University of Minnesota, he has put out a very inspiring video to support Charter Schools. He is a true example of how important quality education is in raising our children.
The phrase “the soft bigotry of low expectations”, in George Bush’s 07-10-2000 speech to the NAACP, keeps coming to mind when Joe Biden and other Democrats talk about how Blacks and other minorities are somehow deficient in personal abilities, maturities, or self-responsibility. For example, they keep saying Blacks cannot get photo IDs to be able to vote (even though they can get an ID for everything else they need). And now Biden is saying Blacks don’t even know how to get help from attorneys and accountants to grow their small businesses (even though so many attorneys and accounts are themselves Black)!
Joe Biden and his administration, which is 90% composed of former Obama people, do not care what harm their polities are doing to the American people, be it economic policy, energy policy, violent crime policy, environmental policy, border security and illegal immigrant policy, or National Defense Security policy. The only thing that seems to truly matter is their extreme leftist agenda — what the socialists and marxists want. Obama is very proud of that!
For all of our listeners who do not live in northern Louisiana — and that is most of you, two years ago a very destructive tornado went right through the Louisiana Tech campus in Ruston, and included in its path of rubble, it totally destroyed a number of sports facilities, including the baseball stadium. Fortunately, that tragic event did not do harm to the spirit and determination of the members of the LA Tech team. Our American Mama, Teri Netterville, spent last week watching the Louisiana Tech Baseball team complete in the playoffs. She is a proud alum, a proud sports fan, and a very proud Mama!
Red states are dealing with this pandemic and its economic fall out far better than blue states are. The national unemployment rate is 6.1%. Even more interesting is how red or how blue each state really is, meaning the governor and each house of the legislature (essentially, a trifecta). On average, the data shows Republicans just make better decisions than Democrats do.
Jack Phillips, the Colorado baker who refused to make a gay wedding cake for personal religious reasons, has a new book coming out — ‘The Cost of My Faith’. The entire experience proved to test his religious beliefs and to make his faith stronger.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr consider the significance of the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence, all of which America’s Military men and women have risked their lives to defend. We have fought numerous wars in the past 80 years, including World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and a number of more local military actions in the Western Hemisphere as part of the Cold War, to stop the spread of Socialist, Marxist, Fascist, or Communist government takeovers. So, is there a possible compatibility between a Socialist or Marxist ideology in the United States and the US Founding Documents?
Your “take home” money is worth less each month because the prices for foods, goods, and services you need to buy keeps going up — not just a little each month, but a LOT. We are only 4 months into the Biden Administration, and each week, the Democrats do even more to add to our long-term inflation worries. So much of this is putting an additional burden on small businesses, which still have not recovered from the governmental shutdowns of last year.
Our American Mama, Denise Arthur, has found an article about every day words which are now being called “racist” — words which have been around in common use for 50 to 100 years. This constant push by the extremist Democrats for what they declare to be “politically correct” needs to stop. You can play their game by just not speaking your mind any more, or you can continue saying what you think — protecting your Right of Free Speech in the process. Our Mamas are not going to be quiet.
During the Pandemic, the American People have been told way too much which just was not true. There is a lot of detailed information in this segment, which Stephen Parr explains. And you can anticipate we will continue to learn more at some point in the future.
Fake News Friday
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss how the Press Corp lets Joe Biden get away with saying very odd, very strange, and even very untruthful statements; but if President Trump had said any of those same statements, the Press would have thrown all the “trash talk” they could generate at him for it. They are able to cite a number of very current examples. One is “every hospital bed in America will be filled with an Alzheimer patient in the next 15 years.” Is this the Democrats starting our “next health care crisis” so they can find more ways to try to control the American people?
Little children ask a lot of questions, and until they get the answers they think they are wanting, they don’t stop asking questions. As our @American Mamas, Denise Arthur, explains, that is exactly what happened when a 23-year old military trainee hijacked a Columbia, SC school bus driven by Kenneth Corbin at gunpoint. The bus was loaded with 18 kindergarteners. After about 4 miles, he made the kids and the driver get off the bus, and tried to drive the bus himself. The hijacker was quickly arrested and charged with 19 counts of kidnapping.
At the time, then President Trump said the Coronavirus came out of a lab in Wuhan, China, and he stopped all non-Americans from entering the United States from China on January 31, 2020, just weeks into the first known cases in America. Then candidate Biden, the press, and other Democrats attacked Trump, claiming he was being “xenophobic” and “fear-mongering”. Now, they are all trying to do an about face, hoping no one will notice. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone explain, and they then look at what the members of the American Press need to start doing correctly.
Patrisse Cullors, co-founder of the marxist BLM, has quit because she is being attacked for spending money on personal, million-dollar real estate deals (as if she were a capitalist!) even though she claims to be a “trained Marxist”.
Sometimes laws “on the books” become obsolete or otherwise not needed. Too many governments leave them there anyway. Oklahoma City, however, just removed 16 of its 19 occupational licenses. The ones remaining require background checks for public safety.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the reality of so many Socialist Democrats and their supporters engaging in demagoguery as compared to true American leadership, which is effectively managing the Nation’s true problems through issues until the situation is resolved in a way to benefit the Nation as a whole. Demogoguery is really expressing profound intolerance!
The boundaries of Free Speech are being reigned in all around us. Television networks, newspapers, social media censorship and political de-platforming of conservatives are all intentionally choosing to block free expression of this ideas they do not like. So far, talk radio is still free of censorship; however, there are people in Washington, DC trying to get the FCC to revoke the broadcast licenses of radio stations which broadcast “false information” — meaning conservative and Constitutional ideas.
“Lawnmower Parents” go to extreme lengths to try to protect their older children from ever experiencing disappoint, failure, or otherwise negative experiences. But our American Mama, Denise Arthur, says this is not good for them. One of the most important skills they will need as adults is the ability to cope through difficulty and disappointment, and these skills are learned as children and young adults when they have to experience disappointment. Parents cannot “short cut” that process.
All growth happens when you are uncomfortable. If you grew up hungry, but your children have not, then you have achieved the American Dream. You do not, however, try to make life so much better for your children that they never have to struggle. It is that struggle which teaches them the critical life skills they will need throughout their own adulthoods. Do not take that “opportunity” away from them.
Stephen Parr did a statistical analysis of the budgets for all 50 states, and concluded that some states are definitely not doing as good a job of managing the taxpayers’ money as other states are. Interestingly, how much a state spends per person doesn't have a strong influence on their population growth. For example, Texas and Florida had the highest population growths over the past decade. Texas gained almost 4 million people, for a growth rate of about 16%. Florida gained 2.7 million people for a growth rate of about 15%. Both were in the top ten for the least amount of money they spend per capita.
65% of Americans believe politics has had some influence on what Dr. Fauci has been saying to us.
Russell Edward Brand, English comedian and podcaster, has realized THE LEFT is every bit as corrupt as he has been told The Right is. Quoting Brand, "For me, revelations that there are financial connections between energy companies in Ukraine, energy companies in China, and the Biden family are troubling.” Brand told listeners. “That should be public knowledge. And it’s even more troubling that Twitter, and Facebook and the media at large deliberately kept it out of the news because they didn’t want it to influence the election.”
We suddenly are told Biden is shutting down mining is the USA, and we now can buy what we need from Canada, Australia, and Brazil. Well, it definitely is confusing! The Environmentalists definitely what to stop all mining. But during the campaign, the Miners Unions were assured the “rare earth” mining would be valued. The announcement today may have been a stupid attempt to make both sides happy, without telling the specific truth. Time will tell how concerned his about keeping the Americans happy.
The Biden Administration is working hard to destroy the USA. One question is how much of our National Defense System is going to be dependent upon Foreign Nations? Another question is why are American Embassies around the world able to fly the BLM flag?
Our American Mama, Denise Arthur, discusses the wonderful effort being done by business owner Tiffany Fixter in Englewood, CO to employ young adults with disabilities and special needs; but her business is now being attacked because she does. She said she actually received death threats when she first opened the business and hired people with autism. Truthfully, we need a lot more businesses around the country to start doing this! These young people need to have a sense of value and worth just like everyone else does.
Hidden inside the “American Families Act” (that Massive Tax Hike Bill) is a provision to hire 87,000 more IRS agents and another to give the IRS “Snooping Rights” to everyone’s bank accounts.
Gun Buy Back plans do not work, but it does waste taxpayer dollars! Over 100 communities have held “gun buy back” events in the past ten years; however, the subsequent data shows no success in reducing gun violence in either the short run or longer. Instead, so many of the guns are not ones that criminals possess. What gets “sold back” are either junk or unwanted guns owned by honest citizens, many of whom then use that money to buy better guns.
When it comes to our Hollywood “Stars” and Elitists being outspoken against Republicans and Donald Trump in recent years, they have been totally outclassed and out-protested by a group of Cuban rappers, whose “cancel culture” isn’t losing a job. It is potentially being beaten by the government thugs and even losing your life. “Patria y Vida” (“Homeland and Life”) is the song that started this, and it has been watched over 5,000,000 times in just two months. Some of the artists live in Miami and some in Cuba. This song truly depicts the nightmare of life under Communism.
In the midst of a long list of current and serious National crises, Biden and his staff decide he and Dr. Fauci needed to produce a scripted and edited fake Town Hall to be seen on YouTube! Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the reasons why this really is just a propaganda video.
When people started entering the Capitol — some because the Capitol Police opened the door to let them in, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was not at the Capitol Building. She was in her office in a different office building some distance away, and the Capitol Police actually went to check on her! (Others in that same building she was at the same time said they were fine, by the way.). To add to AOC’s trauma, she is claiming that what took place on January 6 was an “attempted coup”. It all has been so distressing for her that she now is in therapy.
Our American Mama, Denise Arthur, strongly believes it is time for parents to take back control of their children’s education. Until they are grown adults, the parents are responsible for caring and protecting them, and too many parents are “holding back” when they definitely should not be. This time, the New York City private school with a tuition of $47,000, Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School, held a mandatory workshop, entitled “Pornography Literacy: An intersectional focus on mainstream porn.” When the subject matter is so pornographic or otherwise sexually explicit that it cannot be discussed openly on the radio, your schools and your children are in trouble.
Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard is an Obama Democrat who was first Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs (2010 to 2013) and then advanced to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to fill an unexpired term (2014 to 2026). Using the government created economic COVID Pandemic mess as a good reason to develop a new money system, she is a big supporter of creating a Dollar cryptocurrency. It would make it easier to transfer international remittences. But she never seems to mention the down side — that doing away with the hard currency coins and paper currency bills would mean the Federal Government would be electronically tracking your every purchase at all times. Lous Avallone explains this would enable government bureaucrats (the Deep State) to know every detail about every person’s life in real time. It would completely destroy all Rights of Privacy guaranteed under the US Constitution’s Bill of Rights.
In the past few years, especially in the last twelve months, crime has really increased in all our big, Democrat run cities. St. Louis, MO now has the highest murder rate of any city in the USA, and the newly elected Mayor Tishaura Jones is promising to revitalize the city by further reducing the size of the police force and shutting down the jail. Stephen Parr explores other times in history where cities had high crime problems, especially New York City in the 1990s, and what changes were made to bring the crime problem under control.
In an interview with the Boston Globe, Eugene Chung, an NFL assistant coach, said he was recently told he was not "the right minority we're looking for”, although he did not say which NFL team said that to him. It seems more than amazing considering he is of Korean descent.
On Sat., May 8, 2021, Canelo Alvarez defeated Billy Joe Saunders for the WBO Super Middleweight Title at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas in front of more than 73,000 fans in attendance. The retractable stadium roof was closed, and because Texas is now open, masks, temperature checks, possible vaccination requirements, and social distancing precautions were not in place. This event was the most people who have been in one place at the same time since the lockdowns began more than a year ago. What happened two weeks later? Nothing. There was no spike in COVID new cases reported in the local area nor across the State of Texas.
You just cannot make some of this stuff up! The CDC (the Center for Disease Control) apparently is very concerned about Americans hugging and kissing their pet chickens and ducks…..and that it will make people sick. How many Americans keep chickens in their back yard?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, explain the background regarding Chrissy Teigen's Craving's kitchenware being removed from stores because of really inappropriate online behavior in the past. Among the reports, Courtney Stodden said Chrissy cyber bullied her with posts about wanting her to take 'a dirt nap' and would privately send messages wishing Courtney would die.
The Left does not want to give public credit or a public platform to people who are both conservative and successful because that destroys the Left’s propagandist narrative! Stephen Parr reviews a long list of College Commencement speakers, and almost none are conservative.
Biden is worried about Texas Women having access to “healthcare” with the passage of the new Texas Heartbeat Law. Two important, relevant details: 1.) All Texas women can get healthcare through a variety of avenues….real medical healthcare, including maturity care. 2.) Apparently Biden is not concerned about providing “healthcare” to the unborn babies, because the killing of unborn babies is not an aspect of “neonatal healthcare”.
Fake News Friday
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr have questions about who is really driving that test Ford Truck. Could it be possible a Secret Service Agent was in the passenger seat actually driving? It is an interesting question considering Biden’s current mental state and the reality that Presidents never drive again after taking office? It is also interesting when Stephen noticed something very odd about Biden’s steering wheel.
What is it with these socialist Democrats? They are only proud of their Country when they are getting their way? No! If you truly love The United States of America, you ALWAYS love the USA……and that means you love the fundamental ideals expressed in the Declaration of Independence. And you truly believe ALL men and women are created equal.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are truly horrified at the contents in some of the required high school textbooks now being used in the Loudoun County Public Schools (located in the northern part of Virginia). The subject matter and words are so sexually explicit and inappropriate that they are not allowed on radio, and yet these textbooks are required reading for high school freshmen! The parents are also having problems with this same school board pushing Critical Race Theory into the classrooms! Time to replace the entire School Board!
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr believe the socialist Democrats have the legality of both “Vaccination Passports” and “Voter Photo ID” backwards. Because of HIPAA, requiring anyone to disclose to strangers their health information is not legal. However, it just is not logical for any legal American adult of any race, including blacks, to not have any kind of photo ID and are unable to obtain one. Considering all the things Photo ID is required by law in all the 50 states which no one seems to have a problem with, showing that same ID to vote should not be difficult.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone have been reporting on the ongoing crisis on our southern border for many weeks. The Washington Examiner is also reporting on it, including the fact that more than 61,000 illegal immigrants have been turned loose within the United States by the Border Patrol without even being given an immigration Federal Court Date in the past 3 months. ICE has been turning illegals loose, as well. To make it even worse, the Department of Homeland Security closed two illegal immigrant facilities, one in Georgia and one in Massachusetts. Apparently, there has been problems of abuse of detainees and misconduct by government officials, including doing unwanted medical procedures, such as hysterectomies, on some female detainees. WOW! The Nazis did that to the Jews in the Concentration Camps. So why is BIG MEDIA so silent on this kind of potential criminal behavior?
It is amazing this was even a reasonable idea to anyone, and especially at the Small Business Administration! Following the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution of the United States, a Federal Judge in Dallas, TX has ruled that the SBA cannot discriminate against anyone based upon race or color of skin! A white male restaurant owner had applied for funding from the Restaurant Revitalization Fund, but the SBA was refusing to process his application until they were able to process all of the applications from “women, veterans and ‘socially and economically disadvantaged’ people for a period of about three weeks. By then, all of the $28.6 billion would most likely be gone.
The men and women of our US Coast Guard are shot at more than any other branch of the military. Every day, they are encountering very dangerous elements: boaters in trouble, very dangerous weather and sea conditions, and desperate criminals smuggling drugs and other illegal cargo. So what does President Biden do at the US Coast Guard Academy Graduation ceremonies? In typical Joe fashion, he uses someone else’s work — this time plagiarizing from President Reagan, totally botching its delivery, and when no one laughs, Biden insults everyone there by calling them all DULL! But he didn’t stop there.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced that she will only grant interviews to news reporters of color, saying she is unhappy so many white men are the reporters covering Chicago's City Hall. Is she so racist she cannot recognize that excluding white reporters is indeed racist? Neither skin color nor (DNA defined) sex should have nothing to do with anything!
Mets batter, Kevin Pillar, was unintentionally hit in the face by a 95 mph pitch fastball, breaking his nose. In a later press conference, Pillar expressed real concern for the Braves pitcher, Jacob Webb, worrying that Webb will not be negatively impacted by the accident. Both men have been talking with each other since the injury. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are very impressed with the lessons Pillar has taught an entire generation of younger players…… of appropriate grace, dignity, and compassion look like with his own high class behavior following the injury. Equally significantly, Pillar did not blame anyone. It is time we all follow Pillar’s example and start being more concerned about others than we are ourselves.
The ongoing fighting between Israel and the self-governing Palestinian area of Gaza is really because the Iranian supported Hamas terrorists are using the Palestinians and their homes as human shields in their quest to kill Jews. Whereas the Israeli military is careful to avoid civilians in their target areas, the Hamas terrorists are deliberately trying to kill Jewish civilians. Iran assists Hamas with smuggled weapon supplies such as missiles with greater ranges and more precise accuracy than in the past. Iran also has supplied technical knowledge on how to build these weapons within Gaza.
Ronald Reagan had it correct: “The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.” The problem for Democrats is they are getting their information from the wrong places….CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, & CBS. Rasmussen’s poll says so! If they were listening to Talk Radio (such as American Ground Radio), they would become much better informed.
10-year old John Provenzano told the Martin County School District, in Stuart, FL that there is something wrong with the teachers not having to follow the same mask rules they are making the students follow, and he told the members of the school board that this is called “hypocrisy”. He was there to encourage the lifting to the school’s mask requirement, which does not follow the science regarding elementary aged students. The board ignored John and voted 4-1 to keep make the students keep wearing the masks. Martin County need an entirely new, more capable school board!
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain the details regarding AOC and many other socialist Democrats demanding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) stop doing their work — as required by US Law. They claim ICE does “not provide adequate protection for the liberty interests of recently arrived immigrations seeking humanitarian relief and further criminalizes and dehumanizes immigration by relying on the discriminatory criminal legal system”. These Socialist Democrats ignore the reality that those illegal immigrants have already broken US laws, essentially making them suspected criminals. Furthermore, under American law, they are not entitled to any protection for “humanitarian relief” BECAUSE they did not come in legally as provided in our Immigration Code!
The Socialist Democrat San Francisco District Attorney, Chesa Boudin, (who was financed by Soros and is in Pelosi’s District) announced in November, 2019, that he would not prosecute “victimless crimes” and “small thefts” because the paperwork took too much time. Since then, shoplifters will fill shopping bags and just walk out. Walgreens is thus now closing a total of 17 of their stores in this area, which is going to cause great hardship to those needing access to a good drugstore.
Another wrongheaded, powerful, overpaid person, Anthony Fauci, admitted to ABC’s Stephanopoulos that he has been virtue signaling the wearing of masks indoors for “public appearance” purposes and not for any medical reason. How much more harm has his fraudulent positions done in the past year?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, discuss the issue of a segment of our population who are going to continue wearing masks, even though it no longer is required. For so many, it will be to cover up personal anxieties or even issues which might need psychological counseling. Others may continue wearing a mask because they think it gives them anonymity, which they seem to want for a variety of reasons. And some want to continue wearing masks so no one will think they could be a Republican! But will it give them what they any true emotional security when everyone around them is not wearing a mask or will it just draw more attention to them?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain the difference between the teachings in the Bible about how to be “good neighbors” and what the Socialist Democrats are doing inside the Federal Government. No, Jesus did not say to give money to the Roman so the Romans could be good neighbors, which is what the Socialists are currently doing with free housing and other benefits for the Illegals.
The Left has been using “wokeness” as a way to bully or intimidate big American corporations, including Proctor and Gamble, Coke-Cola, Nike, American Airlines, and Delta Airlines. Interestingly, each of these corporations has been making business and marketing mistakes, and they seem to be using “wokeness” as a way to detract from their own internal problems. A non-profit, Consumers' Research has decided it is time to fight back. They will be running ads on nationwide cable - such as CNBC, FoxBusiness. They will also be running them in the hometowns of these corporations - Dallas for AA, Atlanta for Coke, and Portland for Nike.
In response to all the destruction of National Hero Statues over the past year, President Trump had begun the process of starting a National Garden of American Heroes; but as with everything else that has Trump’s signature on it, Biden revoked it. Truly, this would have been a very good “infrastructure” project.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the very serious problem of so many communities having to deal with murders night after night. Solutions are much more than just “jobs”. It is going to require citizens, religious leaders, and elect officials coming together 1.) to re-establish a community spirit which has been lost, 2.) to have the many moral leaders (including religious leaders) speak out and provide leadership and guidance, and 3.) to generally develop a better sense of hope and of support throughout the neighborhoods.
The purpose — the only purpose — of government is to protect the individual American Rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Thus, continuing to elect people to office who do not believe in either a Creator nor that government is supposed to be limited in its scope, those Rights are not going to be protected. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr have a discussion about what is required of us to obtain proper personal guidance from the Creator on how to go forward.
There was a time when sororities were very pleased to have their members involved in campus politics, and this included Alpha Phi. Apparently, today, belonging to a sorority and having your own opinions is not acceptable any more…..at least not if you are an Alpha Phi at LSU. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, share the story of Emily Hines who was thrown out of the sorority for dancing to the Bee Gees’ “More Than a Woman” in a TicTok video because it was viewed as being disrespectful of Biden’s transgender health secretary, Dr Rachel Levine.
Between 1936 and 1938, Joseph Stalin (USSR) had several million arrested for being “Enemies of the People” as part of his “Great Purge” of anyone who he deemed to be a threat to his Communist leadership. Their “right to trial” became “show trails” because Stalin banned their right to have a defense…..all to generate terror throughout the population. It is estimated more than half were executed.
Well, Pelosi is starting her own version of a “show trial”. She is setting up a commission to investigate what is being called the “Capitol Insurrection” on January 6. They plan to “haul in” Trump Supporters to go after; but will they show the video of the Capitol Police opening the doors to let the people go in to begin with? It is going to be a Circus through 2022!
The cyber attack on the Colonial Pipeline system was unquestionably an international criminal attack; but was it also a terrorist act? Is “Dark Side” an international terrorist organization operating out of Russia? Did you know its software can be “rented” to use against one’s competition? What is going to be done about “Dark Side” by the USA? We need to have a very strong response, or we are going to have even bigger problems in the future from a reorganized “Dark Side” by a different name.
So Prince Harry splits from his Royal Family, moves to the United States — which also split from his Royal ancestor, King George III, almost 250 years ago, and then proceeds to call America’s Right of Free Speech “Bonkers”! Interestingly, Piers Morgan, also British, definitely does appreciate the 1st Amendment! He thinks it is perhaps “the most important words in the entire Constitution”. Morgan goes on to say “It takes an extraordinary amount of entitled arrogance to mock the most revered building block of your adopted country's history.” Perhaps Harry ought to do a deep, comprehensive study of the American Revolution and the history of our Founding Documents before he discovers exactly what King George III learned about Americans the hard way.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how Americans have always had a personal right to made decisions about their own healthcare. It is important for Americans to be given complete and correct medical information in order to make sound medical choices. But throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, the government has not given out good information, and it has made too many life-altering demands on Americans. This is a trend that needs to be stopped. Furthermore, HIPAA does always apply, and thus non-medical people are not authorized to demand personal medical information, including employers.
For a year, Americans were told to believe the science and to trust the CDC, only top Democrats did not personally do so when it did not serve their own political agenda, including Cuomo and Pelosi. They still are not.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are in disbelief over what has been happening to our students this year. A picture of three University of Massachusetts-Amherst unmasked girls at a private event off campus was shown to the Administration, and the Administration immediately threw all three out of school, giving them only 9 hours to clear out, not even caring if they had a place to go or food to eat. They are not going to be able to complete their virtual classes nor take their exams. Their $16,000 tuition is also being forfeited as punishment.
WARNING: Do Not Smoke in Your Car and Use Hand Sanitizer at the Same Time!
Neal Patel, of the Daily Caller, wrote an article explaining how Conservatives are not being careful enough about the words they use in reference to Socialist Democrats and their ideas. Because so many engage in deliberate misuse of words to convey deliberate, incorrect ideas, being precise about word selection becomes very important…..or as Stephen Parr frequently says, “words have meaning”.
Diversity Puts Stresses on Our Collective Differences, Further Dividing Us. Inclusion Brings People Together in an Acceptable and Welcoming Way.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain how Biden could have looked like a really good President if he had just assumed the Presidency and then done NOTHING! Trump has everything in place, organized, and moving forward. The American wanted things the way Trump left them, only without the Tweets! But the Socialist Democrats were not interested in that. Trump’s successes were not going to make America a Socialist-Marxist country, which is the Biden goals!
Suddenly, the science says it is appropriate to not wear a mask or socially distance if you have been vaccinated. What happened is the CDC and Dr. Fauci have been leading the politics in this coronavirus pandemic now for months, instead of faithfully following the science without consideration for the politics. The problem with our “expert class” is they think the American people are idiots.
Why is dancing permitted at a strip club or in an exercise class, but not at a private wedding in Washington, DC? Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, say it is “malarkey” to be told by the government whether or not you can dance at your own wedding! It is time to stop the socialist Democrats from micromanaging all the details of our personal lives. Denise even explains the US Supreme Court has said dancing at weddings is constitutional, so thank goodness someone is taking leadership to sue the DC bureaucrats!
Congress passed and the President signed into law the “American Rescue Plan Act of 2021” on March 11, 2021. There is a huge problem with it……it is expressly discriminatory based upon both race and sex. Jake’s Bar and Grill in Harriman, TN is jointly owned by Antonio Vitolo and his Hispanic wife. Because she does not own 51%, he is barred by Isabella Casillas Guzman (SBA Administrator) from applying at the same time as those in “priority groups” (meaning women,“socially and economically disadvantaged individuals”, or veterans). By the time he can apply, it is already known the money will be gone. So he has filed a discrimination lawsuit.
Remember these very unsuccessful Republicans? Michael Steele was the former RNC Chair who grossly "mismanaged" the money and almost destroyed the Party. George Conway is Kelly Ann Conway’s husband who was absolutely hateful about his wife’s employer and mad because he did not get to be Director of the DOJ's Civil Division? And don’t forget Anthony Scaramucci, who lasted as White House Communications Director for a total of 10 days! THEY are the driving force in the call to bring the Republican Party back away from Donald Trump and his “Make America Great” goals.
Apparently, Trump’s success in getting control of the Southern Border mess was not part of the socialist Democrats’ (and Obama’s) goal of “reforming America”. Now they hoping Americans will believe Trump was wrong. They also are trying to convince Americans that the heart of the problem is “climate change”. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain.
Many states have figured out that when they have a surplus of job openings going unfilled and a very large number of people drawing unemployment benefits, people are being rewarded to not work. That is making is very hard to have a good economic recovery. By stopping excessive benefits for not working and by requiring proof of job application efforts in order to receive benefits, both can be quickly resolved.
America’s Founding Fathers were brilliant to include the 10th Amendment: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.” It is fundamental to the concept of America being a REPUBLIC….a special relationship between the 50 States (collectively and separately) and the Federal Government. As with all Constitutional Rights, to preserve them, we cannot let the Federal Government walk all over them!
OH, We’ve Got Trouble! So Many “Industry Wide” Supply Chain Disruptions and Shortages, including Lumber, Copper, Iron, Silicon, Rare Earth Metals, Gasoline, and….CHICK-FIL-A!
Denise Arthur has one question for the woman with her trunk loaded with garbage bags full of gasoline: “How the hell are you going to get that out of there? That is not a CapriSun!” Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are actually appalled at some to the stuff people are doing right now to “hoard” gasoline! Toilet paper never made any sense, but this is NUTS! On the other hand, we do have shortages that need Americans’ attention, such as our blood supply. Instead of going to hoard, go donate blood. It will do a lot more good!
Is there anything Joe Biden is doing that's actually working for the benefit of the American people? The data Stephen Parr has seen says no, and he provides a long list of disasters!
Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Jennifer Granholm admitted “the pipe is the best way to go” when transmitting oil and gasoline from one region of the Nation to another. And later, John Kerry, White House Environmental Czar (and by his own words, a total hypocrite), agreed that pipe is ‘…better than train … -- yes it is, in my judgement.” This prompted Steve Scalise to tweet “Joe Biden's own Energy Secretary admitted that ‘pipe is the best way’ to transport fuel. So why did Joe Biden cancel the Keystone XL pipeline? Pure politics.” So…what about “circling back and restarting the Keystone XL pipeline”?
MIT researchers decided to study why “Mask Skeptics” had the opinions they do, assuming it was heavily based upon politics and not on true science — as if the mask skeptics were scientifically illiterate. What the researchers learned was exactly the opposite! Mask skeptics are well versed in the scientific methods, believing that “science is a process, and not an institution”. Thus, they are not going to just take the “politically correct declarations” at face value and follow them without question. They strongly believe in the importance of paying close attention to the factual data that actually exists.
A Nation’s infrastructure is fundamental to a Nation’s national security, and we can be pretty certain the Russian hackers are known to the Russian government. So, was taking down the Colonial Pipeline, which supplies gasoline to so much of the southeastern part of the Nation, a "practice run" for another attack on our National Sovereignty? No doubt, our enemies —China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia — learned a lot in that “exercise”. Now, will the USA do anything about it?
In addition to the news regarding the ongoing election audit of Maricopa County, Arizona, in Antrim County, Michigan, there were 1,061 “phantom” ballots discovered, meaning voters who were not on the official State of Michigan registered voter rolls. Also questionable is the fact that Antrim County sent 20.3% (1 in 5) of all absentee ballots out to P.O. Box addresses. And perhaps even more unexplainable is that the data clearly shows essentially 100% of all eligible voters between the ages of 65 and 80 voted, in spite of being in the “highest risk” group to die from COVID-19!
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, raise a number of issues regarding Disney’s official — and apparently intolerant — behavior, from the current Chairman and former CEO Bob Iger being “inspired” by China’s “vision” to Disney now deciding its make-believe fairytales are “wrong” to the corporation’s HR department engaging in its own “ social re-education” of its employees with its 22-page report called “Reimagine Tomorrow”. They are even insisting their white employees show deference to their black co-workers. The organization also wants its employees to donate to the local, marxist BLM groups, among a list of "deference" actions. Disney even believes racism begins to exist in children as young as 3 months old. Denise compares this behavior to “waterboarding”, and we all need to become determined to resist it.
Eugene, Oregon, and Denver, Colorado, among other cities, are now assigning to unarmed social workers the 911 calls which the Dispatcher believes to be mental health issues, rather than crime issues. This is not going to reduce the need for police; but it is an added risk the cities do not need to be taking. These unarmed, unprotected mental health workers are being put in serious risk. The first one to be seriously hurt or killed is going to result in even more problems for the city, not less.
Are you paying close attention to what is going on in your local public schools? You might be very surprised and disappointed at how much emphasis is being put on RACE these days in the public classrooms.
Did you realize Marxism can only be pushed forward using “class resentment” and “class warfare”? Did you recognize the extreme American Left has decided to do push us into Marxism (on its way to Communism) by creating "race resentment" and "race warfare"?
You also need to understand what “Critical Race Theory” really is, because you probably do not want students being trained to judge people by the color of their skin rather than the content of their character....absolutely backwards from the teachings of Martin Luther King!
Stephen Parr gives us two examples of the ongoing problem today, the Oklahoma City School Board and the Fairfax County, VA School Board.
Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine was clear she no longer trusts the CDC (Center for Disease Control) because their “guidance” has been conflicting, confusing, and not based totally on science. Their lack of support for opening the schools was because of “secret” communications between the CDC and the AFT (American Federation of Teachers). Science does not support wearing masks outside to prevent the spread of COVID-19, which would include kids’ summer camps! Apparently, both a pediatric immunologist from Columbia University and the Editor-in-Chief of the “Journal of American Medical Association Pediatrics” agrees requiring masks at camp is not helpful. Sen. Collins is pointing out that the CDC is not supposed to be engaging in political declarations. It currently is, and it has been for the past year or more.
It was the worst “miss” since 1998 in the American April monthly jobs report which just came out. It was off by 75%! It was BAD! Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain the problem is a shortage of available workers, and the reason is because of otherwise available workers are being paid an extra $300 per week by the Biden Administration to stay home and do nothing. This will continue through September, 2021. And this is actually creating shortages in inventories and in supplies across the Nation, which will, in turn, cause inflation.
There seems to be no limit to the number of ways Democrats find to insult good, hard working Americans, and they did it again for Mother’s Day! Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are highly offended by the idea of “Happy Birthing Person’s Day”…. very highly offended! There is so much more to being a good Mom than just possessing a uterus. Clearly, and in so many different ways, the Democrats are proving they are not capable of understanding the roles of parents…of Mothers and of Fathers. They are doing this as part of their “woke” power trip. We must fight back and protect the true definitions of plain words in order to protect our common sense civilization.
The Audubon Nature Institute and the New Orleans Police & Justice Foundation had planned a zoo and aquarium event, “Blue at the Zoo”, which would give people a 20% discount on admission tickets and concessions by wearing blue clothing to show support of the New Orleans Police. But some sort of “anonymous input” called it “unintentionally divisive”, and with that, it was cancelled.
A new Rasmussen poll says 65% of Americans believe Capitalism is better than socialism, with 18% (essentially Democrats) claiming socialism is a better and 17% who are not sure. Those preferring Socialism are also the youngest voters (ages 18-39) at 31%. The group between ages 40 and 64 favor socialism by only 13%, and those over age 65 by only 9%.
Karl Marx INVENTED socialism. It is not a natural human economic interaction. Capitalism, however, has always been around…..two people making a deal to trade goods or services. Capitalism truly is the natural order of business. We have a lot of education to do. The American public must understand when the Government gives you “free stuff”, it is not free, and you will lose your Constitutional Freedoms in the process.
Louis Avallone, Stephen Parr, Teri Netterville, and Denise Arthur look back over the past 1,000 broadcasts, remembering why they started doing this show, how it has changed them personally, and what will be coming in the future. They all truly enjoy your feedback, your comments, and your questions.
Louis Avallone explains there were about 2,000 more homicides in urban centers in the past year, with this huge increase in number being because of the Democrats’ War on Civil Society. Does BLM (Black Lives Matter) care that most of those murders were black lives? And while all of this was going on, Patrisse Khan-Cullors, the co-founder of the marxist BLM, when on an expensive home buying binge acquiring 4 houses for a total cost of $3,200,000. Stephen Parr explains that in Marxist thinking the people “at the top” can do whatever they want, but no one else in a Marxist society is allowed to own property. Why did anyone in America think BLM was worth $90,000,000 in donations last year?
We have plenty of jobs for people who are not working. But the government is providing a $300 a week bonus to those in a “not working” unemployment status. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the problem.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, explain how American Mamas are not needing or even wanting “gifts” for Mother’s Day. Being with family or receiving something that is a special remembrance is most appreciated.
California is now officially losing population. The liberal California politicians are saying it is because “immigration” (meaning both legal and illegal) was effectively slowed down by Trump. They also are claiming it is because of COVID deaths last year. What the California politicians do not want to admit is within the USA, California is no longer a state Americans want to move to, and in fact, more Californians have been moving out of the state than other Americans moving in.
Fake News Friday
Louis Avallone brings up the issue of too many murders happening every night in too many locations in too many communities. Stephen Parr explains that the news, too often, does not cover most of them because the News Directors consider them to be “misdemeanor murders”. Contrary to what we often hear as a “reason” for crime, Louis and Stephen do not accept the idea that poverty is the root cause, and they explain why. Jobs are important, but the number one correlation for murderers is growing up without a father in the house. To drive down the murder rate, we need to find ways to drive up 2-parent households raising children.
A year ago, Frisco, TX and Shreveport, LA were about the same in population. Today, Frisco is growing at a rate of 71%, while Shreveport’s population is either stagnant or decreasing. One major difference between the two is Frisco has a City Manager form of government and Shreveport has a Strong Mayor form of government. Stephen Parr explains what makes a City Manager system so much more successful all across the Nation.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, wonder why those at Disney can no longer tell the difference between fairy tales and reality. They are big fans of the original Disney Princess Fairy Tales; but the re-writes, not at all. Trying to be “woke” when talking about "make-believe" makes no sense!
Biden never mentioned the word “GOD” in anything he said regarding the National Day of Prayer, even though our National Motto “In God We Trust” has been on our coins since 1864. The Left likes to change words and the meaning of words. They, for example, have “changed” the 1st Amendment from “Freedom of Religion” to mean “Freedom from Religion”. And now everything they do is based upon their undying faith in “Climate Change”. They just traded one God for another one, only it is a False God.
There are more than 7,000,000 people out of work right now, and yet there are more than 7,000,000 jobs open looking for employees to take them. The problem is the Democrats in Washington, DC are intentionally borrowing money our Nation does not have to pay these unemployed people to NOT go back to work. By not getting people back to working in these available jobs, we are creating a new problem…..a problem of inventory shortages. So, in addition to the Border Crisis, which Biden caused, we are going to have a major inflation crisis, which Biden is also causing. We need the people we elect to understand basic economics!
Senator Kirsten Elizabeth Gillibrand, (D-NY) is a married mom with two sons, and she was married in the Catholic Church. Yet, she just tweeted this: “Tired: Families. Wired: Affordable child care and universal paid leave”. She previously tweeted “Paid leave is infrastructure. Child care is infrastructure. Caregiving is infrastructure.” It goes with her long-term push for her proposed bill, the FAMILY Act, which would give “universal and comprehensive” National Paid Leave to all American workers, and which rumor indicates Biden is now supporting. So what is it that about the traditional family that so offends her……a “Mom and Dad” family like hers?
In 2016, George Soros funded the campaign of Kimberly M. Gardner for St. Louis Circuit Attorney, as he did so many DA in recent years. But perhaps this is beginning to come undone. Kimberly Gardner has now been accused of professional misconduct in her investigations against former Navy SEAL and now former Missouri Governor Eric Greitens in 2018. She is accused of deliberately misstating facts, of not being honest with her own colleagues, and not disclosing evidence, as required by law. The case is before the Missouri Supreme Court, which can dismiss the case, sanction Gardner, or suspend or revoke her bar license.
The problem with the ELITISM OF THE LEFT is they honestly believe they are smarter than us! This is exactly the problem with Fauci! He has admitted in a jaw-dropping series of statements that he has spent the past year or more deciding what WE THE PEOPLE are capable of hearing at the time. What astounding arrogance! And how totally unhelpful he has been as a result. Time to shut off his sound and take away his public platform. What does Stephen Parr keep saying about POWER? It causes brain damage!
In response to a question about transgenders playing in female sports, California gubernatorial candidate, Caitlyn Jenner, said “It’s an issue of fairness and we need to protect girls’ sports in our schools.” Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, think there is no person better able to explain the conflict regarding biological males competing in female sports, and this reality really has the liberals upset.
After some technical difficulties because of a power loss, Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone visit with Ben Clapper, Executive Director with the Louisiana Right to Life, about Louisiana House Bill 578, would require abortion clinics to tell patients about the potential of reversing chemical abortions before it becomes too late.
US Fertility Rates dropped to a record low in 2020. Obviously, a lot of couples had plenty of quality time at home during that year; but the economic conditions available to them became so bad they did not feel they could afford to have children under the circumstances. We have seen this throughout history, especially in America. Just as after WWII, until we can get our economy back booming again, our birth rate will not be what the Nation needs to sustain itself long-term.
He’s Back! And he is doing it “the old fashioned, American way”! You can now get his messages regularly without having to join any social media platform! And even better for all of us, Trump does not need Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube any more! He is able to come to us directly. Check out and bookmark https://www.donaldjtrump.com/desk .
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the conflict between the Democrats determination to control ALL Americans, forcing everyone to get the COVID-19 Vaccine an the Republicans who are determined to exercise their US Constitutional Right of Free Will to NOT take the shots. The Democrats are ignoring the data indicting those who are most likely to die are over 65, and most of that group probably will get the vaccine. The science also indicated that those who work outside in the sunlight are far let likely to get ill because of the benefits of Vitamin D from the sun.
“Group Think” was first introduced as a problem in 1971 by “Psychology Today”. Because it puts substantial social pressure on conforming to what others are thinking or saying, rather than observing and reaching one’s own opinions from often obvious evidence, "Group Think" is very dangerous in a FREE SOCIETY! Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are committed to helping you avoid the “Group Think Trap" here on American Ground Radio.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, have very high regard for those who voluntarily risk their lives every day to protect and to otherwise serve us. They have no tolerance for those who are teaching certain groups of people to engage in disrespectful, hateful, or dangerous behavior towards our police. It needs to stop. Someday, everyone of us may need to dial 911, and we will need someone to answer the phone!
Obviously, they are friends, going back about 30 years; but does US House Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy have a conflict of interest problem because of his friendship with Pollster Frank Luntz, who has represented a number of very liberal corporations? McCarthy said he rented a room from Luntz because of Pelosi’s COVID-19 Capitol Building use restrictions. Until then, he slept on his Capitol Office couch.
Cancel Culture is pushing to destroy too much, including the Judeo-Christian religious faith. In the USA, the 1st Amendment is supposed to protect those rights to speak and worship as we wish. In the European Union, they are recognized as National Rights under the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. This includes Finland. However, Päivi Räsänen, a former Minister of the Finnish Interior and a current member of the Finnish Parliament, is facing up to 6 years in prison for Biblical writings in her criticism of homosexuality. This bully culture is becoming too common both in the European Union and in the USA. Päivi Räsänen is quoted as saying, “I will not be intimidated into hiding my faith. The more Christians keep silent on controversial themes, the narrower the space for freedom of speech gets.”
What a mess! Did we really need this “Biden Chaos”? The Democrats, using Biden’s pen, are working very rapidly to make “America Normal Again”, and they are creating disaster and chaos in the process! Illegal southern border crossings are up 700%, and Press Secretary Jen Psaki says Biden is taking on the challenge at the southern border. How?
The voters and parent in the Carroll ISD (Southlake, Texas) fought back against “Critical Race Theory” being put into their school system. It worked! A group called Southlake Families PAC came together, interviewed all the candidates for the local school board and city election positions on the ballot, made one recommendation for each, …. AND THEY WON, with about 70% of the vote in each race! The Democrats had worked hard to “brand” all five candidates endorsed by Southlake Families PAC as “racist”. Clearly, it did not work!
In a speech at Tidewater Community College in Virginia, Biden really did say “The reason I’m bothering to do this is I keep hearing in the press ‘Biden’s going to raise your taxes’ – anybody making less than $400,000 a year will not pay a single penny in taxes.” Louis Avallone was "excited" to report this, however Stephen Parr thinks Biden left out a word, “more”. Actually, Stephen thinks Biden left out some other factually important details as well.
Biden’s new Federal Tax Plan will be officially announced on Wednesday, and we already know what we have been told about it is a lie. It is going to hit working Americans much more extensively than the Democrats have admitted. That is because — in spite of Democrats claims — government does not and cannot “reward” work. Government can ONLY take your personal financial benefits of work from you in the form of taxes!
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, admire Senator Tim Scott for the amount of disrespect and abuse the intolerant Left throws at him, not because of who he is and what he says, but because he is a black man representing and speaking our for Conservative Values. It is not acceptable to use any kind of racist attacks against anyone, not against Conservatives or Liberals. And to have called a man of Sen. Scott’s status “an Oreo” by another black leader is horrifying.
The “Times of London” says Ronald Alan Klain, Biden’s Chief of Staff, is the one currently running the White House and apparently, pretty much fulfilling the role of “acting President of the United States”. He previously had been Chief of Staff for both Vice President Al Gore and Vice President Joe Biden, and Chief of Staff for Attorney General Janet Reno. Other positions he has held include being a registered lobbyist, working for Rep. Ed Markley (D-MA), Sen. Tom Daschle (D-SD), and as a Supreme Court Law Clerk. Klain also was part of the controversial fights to block Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and the 2000 Florida recount for the Democrats. He is a graduate of Georgetown University and Harvard Law School, and his wife is an environmentalist attorney and advisor. Keep in mind, NO ONE VOTED FOR RONALD KLAIN!
The residents of the very liberal City of Austin, TX voted to restore a degree of sanity and safety to their community, including banning homelessness camping, panhandling. They also soundly defeated the attempted Mayoral “power grab” by defeating the resolution to do away with their City Manager form of government. Interestingly, most people who voted in this election were Democrats!
Keep in mind, whatever they name a bill……the contents will be the exact opposite! Biden was well trained by Obama on how to turn America into a big government, communist style nation, and Biden was very clear in his speech to Congress that he intends to do as much as he can as fast as he can to achieve that goal! It started during his years as part of the Obama White House, and he really wants to do it!
George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021 would not help law enforcement. In fact, the Democrat goal in passing this law would be to substantially weaken what level of law enforcement we currently have. The bill would make it easier to sue individual police officers for just doing their jobs. Furthermore, organizations hostile to law enforcement, including the NAACP, ACLU, and National Urban League, would receive Federal money to study the “management and operations standards for law enforcement agencies, including standards relating to administrative due process, residency requirements, compensation and benefits, use of force, racial profiling, early warning and intervention systems, youth justice, [and] school safety”, among other things.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, share ideas about how to handle the “Mean Mom Clicks” at school. Moms volunteering in the schools is not and should not the same as when they were in high school being cruel to other girls. Our two Mamas have been there, and have learned ways to address problems with cleaver, manipulative kindness! They hope their suggestions will be of help to many.
Carroll Independent School District in Southlake, TX (northeast of Ft. Worth) is one of the best school districts in the State of Texas. Academic achievement is essentially equal across all the races of students. But Carroll ISD also keeps track of “micro-aggressions”, which according to their data turns out to involve 0.3% of all students in a school year. Because some kids posted a couple of popular rap songs with the “N” word, this gave “justification” to teaching "Critical Race Theory" to all the students in the school district. Parents objected, and before all was done, the President and Vice President of the School Board were indicted by a Grand Jury for violating the Open Meetings Act and arrested. The District had already been teaching “Critical Race Theory” to its teachers and staff as far back as 2019. “Critical Race Theory” is essentially a CULT.
From “I’d like to teach the World to Sing” to now being so “Woke” as to anger over 37% of your customers! It seems like a truly impossible thing for a modern international corporation to do, but Coke-Cola managed to do it. And they took it to a real LEGAL extreme! Did their "in house" attorneys think this was a good idea?
Fake News Friday
“The Masked Singer’' on Fox and “The Price is Right at Night” on CBS each had more viewers than did President Biden giving his first speech to Congress….well, to only 200 Members of Congress, because Pelosi didn’t allow more than that to attend. Was that because everyone knew there wouldn’t be anything new or significant in it? Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss it.
Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur and Teri Netterville, explain Tulane University has invited as many members of the Fake News industry as possible to speak about what they do, which is foster polarization within the American population. Why are no Conservative news media personalities invited?
Democrats are using the word “infrastructure” to cover up their huge socialist agenda. We Americans know “infrastructure” to be fundamental, structural governmental responsibilities, such as roads, bridges, dams, railways, subways, airports, ports/harbors, and utility supply systems (water, sewer, gas, electric, and garbage). The Democrats are trying to pervert the meaning of this word so they can manipulate Americans into giving them enormous power over us by claiming the word “infrastructure” also means child care, paid leave, caregiving, and “climate change projects”, such as making construction changes to private property and the Federal Government to take control over local zoning laws.
Under the Biden-Harris Administration, we now have no doubt the Era of BIG GOVERNMENT is back! They are actually making us think the days of Bill Clinton was not so bad after all….if you can imagine such a thing!
Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) gave an outstanding rebuttal speech following President Biden’s Congressional address. He highlighted the hypocrisy of what Biden and the Democrats are doing, from using the filibuster to block his crime bill last year to denouncing it now when the Republicans use it to their astounding dishonesty about race.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are anticipating President Biden’s speech in the US House tonight with great reverence, high anticipation, and profound respect……or maybe not. Biden and the Democrats are going to try to convince all Americans that government can do a better job of providing a better standard of living than Americans can do for themselves, and the government will do it by behaving like Robin Hood. Expect more government regulation and higher taxes, without realistic understanding of business, economy, or the importance of personal pride and achievement. In short, it is going to be a mess.
Louis Avallone goes over the list provided by CBS of Biden’s promises for his first 100 days — those broken, those kept, and those hard to define.
Three Democrat Members of Congress from Illinois (Bobby Rush, Raja Krishnamoorthi, and Dick Durbin) sent the FDA a strongly worded letter asking to have menthol cigarettes banned for “public health and racial equity”. Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur and Teri Netterville, cannot understand why these Democrats had to bring race into the discussion at all. Cigarettes are harmful to all races, so using the black race as “justification” to ban menthol cigarettes makes no rational nor medical sense.
Very Democrat California has declared itself to be a “sanctuary state” where they will not participate in enforcing Federal Immigration Laws. Well, if that is going to be how things are done, the Republicans can do the same thing! Several Republican states are declaring themselves to be “gun sanctuary states”. And in keeping with this trend, Louisiana State Representative Danny McCormick has proposed a bill to declare Louisiana a “fossil fuels” sanctuary state.
“Woke Ideology” and “Critical Race Theory” are in direct opposition to the ideas found in the Second Sentence of the Declaration of Independence. Businesses are getting themselves into trouble with a lot of American people because they are trying to do the “politically correct” things to be “woke enough” in the view of “Critical Race Theory”. At least one San Francisco based company, Base Camp, which makes project management software for businesses, is smart enough not to get sucked into that morass. Instead, Base Camp is requiring its employees to focus on doing their jobs, and is not allowing politics to be brought into the workplace.
Where in the US Constitution does it say if a President has a pen and a phone, he can be dictator for life? Obama started it, and now when Biden clearly realized he cannot get a $15 Federal Minimum Wage through Congress because Democrats are against it, he just issued an executive order mandating it for all Federal Contractors, regardless of any skill level required for the job — from janitorial staff to cafeteria staff to highly skilled trade workers to licensed, degreed professionals. As long as such “wages” are just passed along to the taxpayers through government contracts, the Democrats think that is fine. For any business needing to make a profit and doing business with the Federal Government, this is absolutely, financially impossible, and the Democrats do not care!
Press Secretary Jen Psaki slipped up and almost called the current President in the White House signing all these Executive Orders “Obama”. We know Biden is not now capable of developing and writing Executive Orders in the volume he is issuing them, but the question (behind the scene) is who is really doing it? It is the kind of actions Obama would have done, but he probably is not the one doing it. What about someone who has a connection to Obama working behind the scenes now? We don’t know; but chances are good it will eventually leak out in a slip-up like the one which happened today.
The owner of Linnie’s Pub’s, sports bar in Cincinnati, Ohio, is so tired of inappropriate comments from sports personalities that he announced he would no longer play NBA games in his bar until LeBron James is expelled from the NBA over his terrible tweets regarding cops. The bar owner supports law enforcement, and he has had enough of those who do not, including those supporting BLM (the marxist, anti-cop, anti-American Black Lives Matters). Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur and Teri Netterville, are hoping other bar owners will follow his example, and they hope Linnie’s Pub attracts a lot of new patrons.
Gallup did a poll and found more Americans distrust Biden than similarly distrusted Trump at the same point in their Presidencies. By giving the Democrats 96% of what they want and only giving the Republicans 4% of what it wants, there is no way Biden can be considered anything but divisive!
There are some Democrats who know the Far Left is on a destructive path which will hurt both the Democrat Party and the United States of America. “Wokeness” is a problem for Democrats looking to the future, and it could hurt them in future elections. Being “woke” means you are putting more emphasis and value upon “external, easily observed” factors, such as skin color, than on a person’s underlying character. James Carville, Tulsi Gabbard, and Rose McGowan are expressing openly their concerns.
If President Biden (or his “handlers”) actually believe the disastrous chaos at the Southern Border is just “seasonal migrants”, then the heart of the problem is Joe Biden himself. He is the problem! It is HIS actions which have directly caused this border crisis. And since he doesn’t admit that, then he has no way to fix the problem. It also is hard to “fix” a real problem of illegal, criminal crashing of the US border when we are passing out Welcome Packets to all who are crossing….and the Welcome Packets include Kamala Harris’ book!
It is important to understand law enforcement personnel are not authorized to fire “warning shots”. Those become “wild bullets” which are going to hit something….buildings, cars, animals, people? Furthermore, the law of physics of “what goes up must come down” always applies. Our @American Mamas, Denise Arthur and Teri Netterville, are pleased to see law enforcement start to respond, generally with humor, against Joy Behar, Juan Williams, and Lebron James.
During an interview with Scott Pelley (CBS “60 Minutes”), Minnesota AG Keith Ellison admitted that there was no evidence of race being a factor in how Derek Chauvin handled George Floyd who died during that arrest. Apparently Scott Pelley and all the other “race baiters” cannot see anything other than skin color as being “evidence”.
The United States 2020 Census is now out, and there is a problem with the final numbers in that people who have no legal right to be in the USA were included. Because the Electoral College is based upon this Census, people who have no legal right to vote are going to impact the number of votes allowed to each state for the next 10 years. President Trump had ordered illegals not be included, but President Biden overruled that order. Texas is adding 2 seats, and Colorado, Florida, Montana, North Carolina, and Oregon are adding 1 seat each. California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia will lose 1 seat each, and the remaining states’ US House Representation will remain unchanged.
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a challenge to the New York’s concealed carry requirements. The State's restrictions on giving out concealed carry permits make it almost impossible for ordinary people in that state to get a permit. They must be able to show “proper cause and special need” for self protection in order to qualify for a permit. The outcome of this ruling could have a big impact on gun rights in all 50 states.
Who watched the Oscars this year? Ratings were down 50% this year over last. That being factual, there was one Bright Spot: Tyler Perry and what he said as he accepted the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. “I refuse to hate someone because they’re Mexican or because they are black or white. Or LGBTQ. I refuse to hate someone because they’re a police officer or because they’re Asian. I would hope we would refuse hate.”
Louis Avallone tells us the Biden Administration is “convinced” all the illegal migration on the Southern Border is due to “climate change”, and since no Nation on earth allows asylum because of “climate change”, the USA should. Stephen Parr, as a meteorologist, explains that “climate change” (which he previously has explained has nothing to do with temperatures) is supposed to involve the entire globe, not just some Nations. However, all famines in the past 100 years have occurred in Nations with bad government. What the migrants are searching for is FREEDOM, but they are doing it the wrong way.
Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur and Teri Netterville, are horrified an adult employee in Michigan’s Mount Pleasant schools (located about 150 miles northwest of Detroit) would have thought it was appropriate to cut any student’s hair at school. The incident started on a school bus when another student started cutting Jimmy Hoffmeyer’s young daughter’s hair. He reported it to the school, and took his daughter to a salon to have it professionally styled as much as possible, considering the damage already done. Then, two days later, his daughter again came home with her hair having been cut a second time — this time by an adult employee of the school.
Congress is in the process of passing a bill to make the use of certain words the Democrats don't like (like China Virus or Wuhan Virus). Every reason to think this will be signed by President Biden. Thus, we can anticipate there will be no end to the Democrats’ very ambitious goal of controlling our thoughts and opinions using this tactic — never mind Americans’ US Constitutional Rights. It will ONLY end if and when the Courts declare this law to be a violation of the 1st Amendment Right of Free Speech.
Are all the “police are racist” and “defund the police” talk, along with all the related violence in the streets, are really aimed as justification to “nationalize” all state and local law enforcement, — by the Democrats? It will be easier to convert the entire USA to Socialism-Communism if local law enforcement no longer exists. Rasmussen polling shows Americans are indeed concerned that what the Democrats are really doing will ultimately hurt Americans.
Fake News Friday
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr provide a massive list of all the things the Biden Administration has done to the United States and to American citizens in the past three months! And as if that is not enough, the stock market did not like Biden’s determination to double the Capital Gains Rate in our taxing system. But if you don’t like what they are doing, be prepared to be accused of “causing people to die”….yeah, right!
Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur and Teri Netterville, are very sympathetic for the difficult situations all of our small businesses have been in during the government imposed restrictions and shutdowns. If those businesses have any chance of surviving, they need as many customers as possible right now. One restaurant in New Jersey needed to turn over the tables at least every 90 minutes, but ran into one very rude customer not interested in cooperating.
The Supreme Court has already ruled that workers cannot be forced to join labor unions in order to work, nor can “dues” be collected from the pay of non-union members. However, because Labor Unions have been in great decline in recent years, especially in states with Right-to-Work Laws, they have been pushing their liberal friends in Congress to make Right-to-Work laws illegal. The PRO Act (Protecting the Right to Organize Act) is dangerously close to passing in the Senate, even though 14 State Attorney Generals are opposed to it. It would enable labor unions to collect dues from all workers, whether those workers were members of the union or not. One of the Democrat Senators who is "protecting" the filibuster, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va) is unfortunately a co-sponsor on this bad bill.
CONCACAF (Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football) is the league’s governing board for the North American/Central American/Carribean global region for FIFA (soccer). The two biggest teams in this league are Mexico and the USA. For non-soccer people, the announcement of where their 2022 World Cup qualifying games will be played is always a “big deal”; but this year, it takes on even greater significance.
With 6 stadium locations, Texas clearly will be dominating. The Greater Dallas area will have three sites, Houston will have two sites, and Austin will have one. The remaining three locations will be Kansas City, KS, Orlando, FL, and Glendale, AZ. The Prelims will be in Ft. Lauderdale, and the Final will be in Las Vegas. Note that Texas and Florida are OPEN! It is also significant to remember that no games are going to be held in the highly “locked down” locations of California, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, Washington, Michigan, Pennsylvania, or Washington, DC.
Under the heading of “Making Stuff Up”, the Biden Administration is wanting to give asylum to “Climate Change Migrants”! Meteorologist Stephen Parr explains why “Climate Change Migrants” actually do not exist.
People should wait to express their opinions until they know all the facts. The Media has an extreme, anti-cop agenda, and they do edit video to serve their own agenda, rather than providing information for the public to consume and decide for themselves. After all, law enforcement’s job is to “protect and serve”. Let them do their job.
BLM (a Marxist-Communist organization) and its supporters have aggressively demanded police budgets be drastically reduced, and every city which has done so, now has seen a substantial increase in homicides and other serious crimes. At the same time, those who support BLM, along with other liberal Democrats, are determined to confiscate guns from honest Americans who obey the laws and do not cause violence. So what is the Left really demanding? Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain that if the Left, including those in BLM, were as concerned about other societal problems as they are these two issues, America would be able to become a much better place for everyone…but that does not seem to be their goal.
Our American Mama, Denise Arthur, reminds us at the time George Floyd died, essentially everyone in the Nation was shocked and, indeed, in agreement about what happened. We were on a united front. If at that point, all Americans had behaved themselves, the jury verdict probably would have been the same. But NO! We couldn't behave! Violence broke out in too many cities and in too many states….REALLY BAD, DESTRUCTIVE VIOLENCE, including looting, arson, destruction of totally innocent businesses, and even additional deaths. Why? Because the extreme left Democrats and their supportive organizations (BLM and Antifa, for example), just cannot let the Nation heal and go forward together. They will do anything they can to keep us at odds with each other.
BLM (Black Lives Matter) has told us what all this ongoing hostility and rioting is really about. They are Marxist-Communist, and they want to turn America into a Communist country just like Castro did in Cuba. As a result, no matter what happens, they will not be satisfied, and they will not be willing to “stand down”. As fanatics, they will stop only when they are forced to stop.
Do face masks prevent the spread of COVID-19? Dr. Baruch Vainshelboim has put out a paper expressing his hypothesis about the practice of wearing face masks to prevent COVID-19 transmission. No main stream media outlet reported on his hypothesis, while conservative reporting incorrectly tied the paper to Stanford. The significant part of what is presented, however, and why the media should have covered it is this: essentially the “holes” in face masks (both medical and non-medical) are bigger than the SARS-CoV-2 virus, meaning the virus can easily pass through any face mask.
Rep. Burgess Owens (R-Utah) testified before the US Senate saying the Georgia Election Laws are definitely not “Jim Crow”. He was clear about his opinion of what the Democrats think about Blacks: "What I find extremely offensive is the narrative from the left that Black people are not smart enough, not educated enough, not desirous enough of education to do what every other culture and race does in this country: get an ID.” Owens was clear that segregation was solely done by the Democrat Party in the past, and he called out the Democrats for what they are doing solely to Blacks, rather than any other racial group in the United States: "It's called the soft bigotry of low expectations.” He also said, "This is the type of fear-mongering I expected in the 1960s, not today,”
Burgess is highly qualified to talk about what “Jim Crow” was, because as a child, he lived through the Jim Crow era of white segregation. His great-grandfather was a slave, and his father had to go to Ohio to do graduate education because of the “Jim Crow” laws in the South. Burgess was one of the first three blacks to play football for U. of Miami, and went on to play for NY Jets and the Oakland Raiders. He also earned a BS in Biology/Chemistry. Instead of the Democrats who imposed Jim Crow upon him, or those so young they don't even know what it really was, he definitely is qualified to call this out for the garbage it is!
The Left has no interest in creating TRUST in our American Institutions. It serves their purposes to continue to trash everything about the United States because their goal is to destroy all — yes, ALL — of those institutions and systems of governance. It is important to the Left for Americans to not trust the Supreme Court or the election system, for example. They need us all to just give up! If we believe the systems work, then maybe we don’t have to burn down everything!
Changing the meaning of words and how they are "allowed" to be used is part of the liberal-communist takeover plan. So, is there a connection to this with Joe and Hunter Biden's China money? Even though we always refer to the region of where viruses originate, Biden now had banned any government official from using the terms “China Virus” or “Wuhan Virus”. But the changing of definitions isn’t unique to Biden. Even the A/P is doing it, all to be “politically correct”.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, believe the Media is why Americans are so divided today. They site CNN’s Chris Cuomo as an example. He went on an astounding rant about how the police will finally be “forced to change” when white people start being killed by cops…totally ignoring the factual reality that law enforcement do not shoot to kill because of race, but rather because of behavior. Until the Public Media start reporting factual truth, and nothing else, the Media really will be the enemy of the American People.
There is a reason members of the far, extreme, anti-American Left are NEVER happy. They so hate this Country that their absolute ambition is to destroy it. So….if at any time, the majority of Americans are convinced our National Governmental Systems are working properly, then they lose their “justification” to burn the place down!
You are what you think about and you are what you continually do, so consider your choices between “conflict” and “service”. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone explain.
BLM (Black Lives Matter) is Marist-Communist. To understand what is really going on with BLM, you must understand the conflict between “the oppressor” and “the oppressed” as expressed by Karl Marx…..a fight for limited resources between those with power and those without power. Thus, in order to force America into Communism [the goal of BLM], we first must be forced into “oppressed groups”. BLM justifies looting and destruction because they see themselves as being oppressed.
Zig Ziglar has a very different approach. He said you can have whatever it is you want if you help enough other people have whatever it is they want. Karl Marx was all about conflict. Zig Ziglar was all about service. It is the heart of Capitalism…..and in America, that means “servant leadership”.
Florida passed and Gov. Ron DeSantis just signed a new Anti-Rioting Bill, and every other state needs to do so as soon as possible. The law prevents actions which would “defund the police”. Protests cannot block roadways without a specific permit to do so. No person will be prosecuted for driving through such an illegally blocked roadway, even if it causes bodily harm or death. No government official can interfere with law enforcement protecting property during a riot, or the city will be responsible for paying for all damages, including property, personal injury or wrongful death…meaning “no stand down orders”. Rioting and related looting conduct are now felonies, and no bail is available until after the first court appearance. Injury to law enforcement personnel is a minimum 6 months in prison. Damaging historical monuments, including statues, is now a felony.
A new crime is also included: “cyber intimidation”. All the doxing the left has been doing is now a felony in Florida.
And suddenly the Democrats discover the 1st Amendment! They are claiming this Anti-Rioting law will “stifle free speech”, saying it is a “very dangerous piece of legislation”. Really? Peaceful Assembly is not throwing bricks at police and otherwise harming people who have a different opinion. It also is not breaking into businesses to rob, steal, and burn. It is not damaging buildings and statues, and it is not obstructing traffic.
Biden actually told the truth and called the problem at the Southern Border “A Crisis”. Of course, this crisis was caused by the Biden Administration when they drastically reversed Trumps border policies which were working. We have no idea how many children have been dumped and died alone. But not all these “children” are all truly innocent youngsters. Many are part of MS-13, and others are being trafficked for the illegal sex trade throughout the Nation. The Democrat solution to all of this, however, is to just raise the “cap” on the number allowed into the Nation, and that should eliminate this “crisis”.
Over the past weekend, there were a number of newsworthy shootings across the United States, including in Chicago, IL; Austin, Texas; Kenosha, Wisconsin; Shreveport, LA; and Indianapolis, IN, among others. Some may be more domestic related, while others are most likely criminal or gang related. “Defunding the police” and other Democrat behaviors which limit law enforcement personnel’s ability to remove criminals from our communities are part of the problem. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are wondering where the Communities’ leaders are, including Shreveport’s Mayor Perkins, because they clearly are not working to make their communities safer for their residents.
Why are the Congressional Democrats in the US House doing what they falsely accused President Donald Trump of doing — “aiding and abetting an incitement to violence”? Why is the Press ignoring it?
In the United States, the numbers of people getting the COVID vaccine in such a short period of time is impressive, but we should not expect that rate of vaccinations to continue. Essentially, the number of persons getting vaccinated in the future is not going to be a great…….because of MATH! Stephen Parr explains.
The Babylon Bee is funny. It is conservative, and it is Christian values based. It is not liked by so many extreme, intolerant liberals. In fact, they are so afraid of it that their “fact checkers” are attacking it. Do they not understanding how satire works in pointing out the liberal left's bad ideas....or perhaps they do! Thus, those who do not want the truth exposed are trying to cancel the Babylon Bee by claiming what it says is “misinformation”. https://babylonbee.com/
It is time to correct our use of terminology. It is called “murder”, not “shootings”. It is time for the public, the politicians (both Republicans and Democrats), and all members of the Press to be honest and call these things “MURDER”. By using the word “shootings”, we are taking responsibility for the murders of innocent victims and somehow turning the real murderer into some sort of “hero”. The word “shooting” should be reserved for peaceful firearms practice at a safe, controlled firing range.
During a press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga in the Rose Garden, Joe Biden refers to 29-year old Hideki Matsuyama, who had just won the Masters Golf Tournament, as “Japanese boy”. Where was the hostile American Press Corps on that one?
This weekend as Prince Philip’s funeral is televised, our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, want everyone to remember and to respect the very important contributions Prince Philip made to the British and to the world during his 99 years of life.
A San Antonio law enforcement officer was very fortunate and very well trained in handling his firearm, because he needed it to save his life when 3 armed persons started shooting at him from inside their car during a routine traffic stop. But why have we had so many shootings of law enforcement around the nation in the past year or so?
Well, Procter & Gamble (P&G) seems to have done it again. It now has a shampoo ad for Pantene featuring two lesbian moms and a transgender girl. The YouTube version shows it is not being well received by the American public. It has 1,500 thumbs up and 7,900 thumbs down. P&G and Pantene do not seem to care. They apparently think their customers are bigots who need to be educated by P&G. Unfortunately for shareholders, P&G doesn’t seem to learn from its own pervious mistakes. Remember the damage they did to their Gillette razor brand with their “toxic masculinity” ad? That cost P&G $8 billion in sales! Wonder what this one is going to cost.
Fake News Friday
Dr. Fauci is not helping solve the COVID problems. Instead, he is only confusing the situation further by being inconsistent in what he says from day to day. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr wonder why would people be willing to get the vaccine when, at the same time, Fauci is saying doing so will not improve their daily lives and routines.
Now that we are reaching a decrease in the pandemic because of the vaccines, the FDA has decided to permit “do it yourself” abortions at home by ordering abortion pills online. Previously, these pills had to be administered by a health professional in person, and now it can be by “seeing” a physician via telemedicine. Not all states allow for abortion by telemedicine, however.
As individual states pass laws saying their women’s sports will be limited to only biological females, the NCAA has issued a statement that no NCAA championship events will be held in such states. The NCAA absolutely supports transgender (who still are physically male and are only 0.7% of those involved) to be involved in such women’s competitions. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are very troubled by this. They know how hard women had to fight to get equal protection rights under Title IX, and now they do not understand where the feminists are and why those women are not still fighting for women’s rights. It is obvious the NCAA, along with professional sports, are far more concerned with politics than with the sports themselves.
We gave up Liberty, and LOST anyway. Tragically, the relationship between how drastic the states shut down their businesses and the number of people dying from COVID did not have any real effect statistically. Overall, about 20% of all businesses in the US had to close down in 2020 because of a government order, with some industries being harder hit than others. Restaurants were very hard hit, for example; but the banking and financial industries were almost not affected at all.
When a strong economy is shut down, it cannot be turned back on with a flip of the switch. It ultimately creates shortages, from supplies and inventory to labor. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain why.
When speaking with Andrew Klaven, Brett Favre expressed his opinion that politics should not be mixed with sports….not in the locker room, on the playing field, or in the press. Conflicts over race or patriotism do not belong there.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the inconsistencies in how prosecutorial enforcement of the laws involving lethal force by law enforcement seems to depend upon politics and not circumstances. Lady Justice is not appear to be wearing her blindfold these days.
How much of the fighting with law enforcement is really the fault of politicians who are doing it to score political gain? The rules are simple: Be polite. Do what the Cop says. This is not the time to try to have an argument. That can be done later with an attorney helping you. But when you decide to try to run away or to engage in actions which are perhaps going to endanger the cop, you are setting yourself up for “suicide by cop”.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are saddened to report the body of LSU Freshman Kori Gauthier has now been found. Her car had originally been found running on the Interstate 10 Bridge over the Mississippi River, with her personal items, including keys, phone, and wallet, still inside the car. This is a cautionary tale for parents and friends to stay in close touch with college students, and to use the Life360 cell phone tracker, even though students don’t like it. This has been a hard time for so many, and unfortunately, suicides have increased. Everyone at American Ground Radio extends our condolences to Kori’s family and friends.
“Woke” corporations, organized by the CEOs of American Express and Merck, issue a public letter which seems to oppose any changes to current election law, including requiring ID to vote. Did any of these CEOs bother to even read the Georgia law or ask their legal departments of the statements in the letter were correct regarding the Georgia law? What was their true motivation? Did they not realize they were going against 60% of Americans who want honesty in our elections?
Corporations which did sign the letter include Bank of America, Amazon, Estée Lauder, Eventbrite, General Motors, Netflix, Starbucks, Synchrony, Nordstrom, PayPal, Peloton, Pinterest, United Airlines, Twitter, and Under Armour.
Our schools are being used to indoctrinate our youth against Whites as a race, using what they are calling “Critical Race Theory (CRT)” or “anti-racism”. They are holding “instructional” sessions for whites only, including both students and faculty, as Paul Rossi, a mathematics teacher at Grace Church High School in New York City, has explained. In fact, accepting the “truth” of CRT is the only belief that will be allowed in his school. If such “instructional” sessions were held for blacks only, the press and the Democrat politicians would be outraged.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the benefits of being able to shake hands as compared to being too afraid to touch each other. Human contact is a very important psychological aspect of how we feel emotionally. Plus, just by shaking hands with someone, much information is learned and shared with each other, and this is a critical aspect of civilization going back centuries.
The idea of “Black Maternal Health Week” began in 2018 with a Senate Resolution introduced by then Senator Kamala D. Harris. So, it is should have been no surprise that as Vice President she used this week to claim something is terribly wrong in our health care system as it pertains to pregnant black women. She position is that racism is the root cause of “the problem”. Her claims, however, ignore critical, important facts, including the huge percentage of black babies aborted each year as compared to other races and the legal reality that no person needing medical attention, including pregnant women, can be turned away by medical personnel.
As Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss, the Democrats have a long history of not reading bills before they vote on them, and apparently, also before they comment on them. Newly elected Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) severely attacking the new Georgia voting law. Even though the e-mail did not go out until later, he signed the e-mail before the bill had been voted on and while changes were still being made. As it turns out, what he was saying about the new Georgia voting law was absolutely false!
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, have anticipated the current “issues” about transgender people were going to just continue coming at us like a snowball rolling down hill. This time the question is about transgenders becoming nuns in the Catholic Church. They are wondering if — as for women’s sports — the best solution for all on these conflicts be to allow transgenders to function within a third group, and thus not do harm to biological women’s designations in allowing transgenders to pursue their own happiness.
Fauci is the highest paid worker in the Federal Government -- more than the President. And yet, how is he able to be so insensitive and so wrong so much of the time, resulting in such great emotional and economic harm to so many Americans and still keep his job?
Democrat pollsters have a very long history of getting their predictions wrong! Since 1948, the pollsters have leaned far more towards the Democrats, and completely missed the political sentiments of Republicans. Democrat polling groups always make errors in the same direction.…over predicting wins for Democrats. Are they going to do better next time or will they again “over poll” Democrats?
The Conservative Clergy of Color took out a full page ad in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution demanding Democrats and others, including President Joe Biden and Stacey Abrams, “Stop Lying” about what the Georgia Election Law really is about. The Conservative Clergy of Color make it clear that IDs are not racially discriminatory, that the new law new law keeps absentee voting secure, that individual voting rights are protected, and that there is nothing about this new law that would make it be ‘Jim Crow 2.0.'
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr debate who is at fault when a criminal steals a gun from a law abiding citizen. Louis explains about “attractive nuisance” responsibility for gun owners, referring to a concept in Tort Law where controls need to be in place to keep something harmful from being accessible by outsiders, and Stephen contends that passing laws which turn victims into criminals, by definition, is the wrong use of laws.
The best way to not end up severely injured or dead is to do exactly what the police instruct you to do when they say to do it. Trying to “get away” or arguing with the police is likely assuring you will get hurt or killed -- and it does not matter what your race or gender is. When your actions generate additional stress for the police, it never is good. Just wait and argue it out later with your attorneys helping you.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are wondering what it will take for the “mask police” to stop demanding people wear masks. Already, there are places where wearing masks is no longer required by Governor edict, and yet there literally are “mask police” going around enforcing private property “mask rules”. While sitting in an outdoor baseball stadium in Texas, Teri was not eating her chips fast enough, and the “mask police” showed up!
Herschel Walker, rumored to be a possible candidate for Senate from Georgia, believes we could do a lot to eliminate racial bias if we would just eliminate the question about race on application forms, including college and business applications.
Stephen Parr has been looking at statistical data about the Political Party Congressional Representations in the US House, and found the Democrats actually control 44 of the 50 richest congressional districts in America! Nancy Pelosi’s district is #4 on the list. In fact, the Democrats are primarily in control of the top two fifths (top 40%) of the richest Congressional Districts, as well as a few of the very bottom of the poorest. Republicans are in control of the middle economic groups……meaning the working Middle Class (which socialists are trying to eliminate!). All of the 6 richest districts come from either California or New York, and all are controlled by Democrats, illustrating why they are so contemptuous of “flyover country”.
Dinesh D’Souza suggests the extreme Left’s demand for Racism is exceeding the actual supply. That is actually good news! But because the left needs “incidents”, we keep getting “white supremacist” news reports which eventually turn out to be fakes. Just this past week, we had another fake “white supremacist” stunt designed to attract attention and to cause trouble done by a 21-year-old black male, a student at Missouri’s Albion College. He was actually identified by surveillance security video.
There is dangerous, physical chaos at the Southern Border, plus much political chaos within both the Democrat Party and the Biden Administration regarding that mess. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr analyze all the nonsensical declarations and related irrational political positions from the Democrats on this subject.
The Federal Government is now spending $24,000 per child per month on children who have entered America illegally and now have no place to go. So….since this opening of the border hasn’t turned out to be such a good idea and the Biden Administration would never want to admit Trump had a better plan, the Federal Government now wants the States to take the children off of their hands. The Governor of Iowa has said no because this is Biden’s fault and it needs to stop. Where is the Press in all of this?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are very troubled by those who are proving, by their words and actions, to be against America. These people, primarily the media and politicians, are deliberately choosing to not use their works correctly, and have no interest in supporting the public good. Instead, they are only interested in words which will divide, incite, enrage, and manipulate people for their own harmful, anti-American purposes.
A bill in the Oklahoma legislature to essentially forbid almost all abortions in that State became even more controversial by some of the comments made by State Rep. Jim Olsen during the Public Health Committee hearing. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone look at the ramifications of what was said in both the context of the Second Sentence of the Declaration of Independence and how some people choose to “self-identify” based upon either the historical past or upon current day reality.
Fake News Friday
[NOTE: The Democrats are using the word “epidemic” again….. always a warning sign because “epidemics” enable them to keep tightening controls over the American People.]
The Democrats are indeed coming for your guns! Biden says it is because we have a gun epidemic. If that is the true reason, then why be working so hard to defund the police? Wouldn’t expanding police and then using law enforcement to deal with “broken windows” neighborhood patrolling solve that? (It has worked before.) Remember that any population of any Nation with legal gun ownership cannot be turned into a socialist dictatorship!
Louis Avallone explains Switzerland has more guns per capita than all other nations, other than the USA and Yemen. Yet, guns have been used in only 120 murders in Switzerland in the past 10 years, even though there are more than 2,000,000 guns owned throughout the Swiss population. Stephen Parr further explains that the real problem is the mindset of the people and whether or not they are somehow driven to violence, not the guns. America was becoming less violent until Obama re-ignited conflict between the races during his Administration, and the extremist Democrats have not backed down on fomenting this societal friction since…..(Antifa and BLM, for example).
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, anticipated this happening as soon as the “transgender” issues surfaced some time back, and as usual, it started in California! Male prisoners, who now are declaring they identify a females are asking to be transferred to women’s prisons (even though they still have all their male parts). By not housing the transgenders in their own facilities, Teri and Denise see real potential problems developing with this situation!
The Manhattan Institute is a think tank trying to “foster greater economic choice and individual responsibility”. In their recent study on American race issues, they found some concerning differences between perceptions and statistically realities. Much of that seems to be because of misinformation put out by the press and through social media. Of course, everyone getting along clearly is not a goal of the “woke”, intolerant, socialist thinking political left today.
The Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) describes itself as “the largest caucus of Republican state leaders in the nation with one unified goal: winning.” Thus, the RSLC’s Commission on Election Integrity has studied existing state legislative statutes (from both Democrat and Republican states), looking for what “make it easier to vote and harder to cheat”. They agree it is the various State Legislatures’ responsibility to administer election, not the Federal government through Congress. The report can be downloaded as a PDF by clicking on the RED TEXT “its report” from https://rslc.gop/rslc-election-integrity-commission-releases-best-practices-for-making-it-easier-to-vote-and-harder-to-cheat/ .
Biden’s $2.5 Trillion Tax Plan is not going to help the needy among us. It is going to make life miserable for all of us with the exception of the extreme political left who want to see government take more and more control over all American lives. We cannot create jobs by taking money away from those who actually create the jobs, especially small businesses. Even worse, taxing businesses only adds to the financial hardship of individual Americans because businesses increase costs on the products they sell to pay for those taxes. Thus, taxing business is just an additional “pipeline” to take money away from good Americans who can least afford it. Thus, overall American spending will decrease, hurting the economy.
We know President Trump literally worked all day and most of the night throughout his 4 years in the White House. It is a very demanding job, which Trump has even described as being a “50 hours a day of really hard work” kind of job. We also know Joe Biden seems to be having increasing difficulties cognitively. So who is really running the Country? What is really troubling is whoever it is, that person was NOT chosen to be “acting President” by the American People.
Utah is the first state to requires biological fathers provide one-half of the “prenatal child support” for the mother, meaning maternity medical costs. Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are supportive of this new Utah law and are hopeful it will increase the partnership responsibility between the father and the mother going forward in the raising of their child, married or not. It is not surprising, however, that Planned Parenthood immediately came out against this, and Democrats in general don’t seem to like it either. Instead, they are wanting governments to expand Medicaid and apparently leave the men out of it. How could that position possible be good for American society?
All in the name of “racial justice”, Baseball threw a “Woke” temper tantrum and moved its All-Star Game from Atlanta (51% black) to Denver (10% black). They say they did it because they are against Photo Voter ID requirements in Georgia. Did they not notice Americans have already proven they dislike Sports messing in politics? Since 64% of Americans are supportive of the new Georgia Photo ID voting requirement, this is going to be interesting. After all, even the Supreme Court has upheld the constitutionality of states having voter ID requirements in their election laws.
Texas was the first state to drop all of its COVID mandates, including wearing masks, social distancing in public, and public building and business occupancy. Five weeks later, Texas' new daily COVID cases have been cut by 60%, and related deaths have dropped by 67%. States still under tight lockdown have not had similar results, including New York (cases up 2%), Illinois (cases up 60%), Pennsylvania (cases up 69%), and Michigan (500%). The data is indicating the lockdowns are not working, and Republican governors are doing a better job than Democrats in managing the COVID related affairs of their states.
So many are having problems understanding why the Southern Border States (Texas and Arizona especially) are having such a fit about Biden’s current attitude about managing that US border. Well, consider this: How many children are enrolled in your nearest elementary school? 400? 600? Now, think about every one of those children being transported to the Southern Border by criminal human traffickers, dumped, and abandoned. Now add to that, one school a day without end! How could anyone, even Democrat or members of the Press, not think that is an out-of-control CRISIS?
75% (3 out of 4) Americans say they favor requiring ID before being able to vote. This includes 89% of Republicans, 71% of Independents, and 65% of Democrats. Only 19% of Americans think requiring Voter ID is a bad idea, and apparently that is including Biden, his supporters, and a number of executives in Corporate America.
It is important to understand “Jim Crow Laws” were laws legalizing and enforcing racial segregation. When the press and the Democrats throw that term around in reference to any State’s Voting Laws, including Georgia’s, they are absolutely telling lies! As Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain, however, all of this is because the Democrats are trying to force onto all the States “mandatory voter registration” for all, even though the Constitution is clear that voting rules are a State matter, not a Federal matter.
Texas dropped the mask mandate and opened up business again in March. Since then, the number of Texas COVID cases has continued to go down. Maybe it is time for all States to follow the example Texas and Florida have set.
Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI) alumni from LSU surprised Jessie Hamilton, their former fraternity house cook, with a catered lunch to celebrate her 74th birthday. And a further surprise was paying off the mortgage on her home. Additional funds were also provided for her personal use. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are so pleased to be able to share this positive story, and they wish Ms. Hamilton the very best in the years to come.
There is no such thing as “cancelling” student loan debt. SOMEONE is going to have to pay for that debt, and that “someone” would be all American taxpayers. Why should one group of people be having to pay off the financial debts of someone else? That is not how this works! Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain.
Republicans support Capitalism. Thus, they support small business far more than big business because most jobs in America come from small business. This also means Republicans support America’s workers! On the other hand, Big Business (especially multi-national businesses), along with their corporate executives, are firmly entrenched with the Democrats and their “woke” mentality. Why? Because it enables Big Business to convince Big Government to pass regulations and restrictions designed to keep the small business out of the competition — actually creating monopolies, which is not good for Capitalism. This problem includes Big Tech.
Artur Pawlowski, the minister at the Fortress (Cave) of Adullam, in Calgary, Alberta (CA), is seen on video running Canadian Police and Health Officials out of his church, telling them not to come back without a warrant. "Do not come back you Nazi psychopaths! Unbelievable sick evil people! Intimidating people in a church during the Passover!" he shouts. "You Gestapo Nazi communist fascists!” Pawlowski is an immigrant from Poland, so he understands how a bullying government can destroy individual freedoms. The video reportedly was viewed over 1 million times by Easter Sunday.
Our Nation is a Federalist Nation, meaning each state is in charge of its own affairs, independent of the Federal Government. That is also why the 10th Amendment exists….to reinforce that Federalist principle. So why is President Biden calling for an economic boycott of the State of Georgia? Why is he against the various States making adjustments to its election laws as it believes is best to provide fair elections? Remember that“Rule of the Mob” cannot be tolerated by the American citizens.
The 1st Amendment protects the Citizens’ Right to boycott as an expression of Free Speech. A significant historical boycott is the Montgomery, Alabama Bus Boycott which began on December 5, 1955 to address the grievances caused by segregation. But Federal Officials, especially the President of the United States, cannot be calling for boycotts of any individual state in an effort to change the laws passed the legislature of that state. Our system of government being Federalist does not give any Federal person that right, especially because of the 10th Amendment!
One of our listeners wrote a long, emotional letter asking for words of advise on how to deal with her profound loss of her husband and her losing her Faith. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, personally understand the deep felt grief of losing a close family member, and they openly share their experiences, as well as share advice on how to start to move forward again, trusting in their faith of God.
People who seem to find a way to blame RACE (especially Black vs White) as the root cause for everything should be viewed with extreme caution. Charles Barkley has recently said there is no reason to be blaming problems on race. He is of the opinion that “…our system is set up where our politicians, whether they're Republicans or Democrats, are designed to make us not like each other so they can keep their grasp of money and power.” Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr believe when we start blaming absurd issues, such as a lack of weight loss, on race, then it is time to completely ignore the ‘racist race pushers’!
Stephen Parr, drawing upon his background as an unbiased reporter, explains there is a difference between editing video because of time constraints and editing video to convey a lie. He provides the evidence that '60 Minutes' did its edits in such a way as to convey a very dishonest report about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. So, NO! The grocery chain, Publix, did not have an exclusive access to the distribution of the Coronavirus Vaccine in Florida. Publix was just the first one ready to get started. CVS and Walgreens were added when they were ready.
After discussing Pete Buttigieg getting caught on video as he tried to stage a fake bicycle ride to work, Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about a recent Federal 6th Circuit Appeals Court which decided, in keeping with the 1st and 14th Amendments, a University professor could not be punished for refusing to use a transgender student’s “preferred pronouns”. The “woke” liberals no longer can claim that “personal truths” are “factual realities”.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are trying to figure out why the Biden Administration just started a competition, with a $500,000 prize, to invent a better face mask for "for general public use,” just as the COVID vaccines are becoming available for most of the American People. Those most at risk are now almost all fully immunized, and we are advancing towards the critical point of herd immunity.
Be careful about what the Democrats are pushing you to boycott! And be careful about which businesses and big corporations are attacking the various States’ Republican Legislators, as well. They are attacking every state trying to strengthen the respective states’ voter laws in a effort to make sure the 2022 election is truly fair and honest. They are throwing around attacks using “Jim Crow Laws” as a verbal weapon. BUT….remember the Democrat Party is the party of projection. In this case, it is the Democrat Party whose history is deeply embedded with Jim Crow segregation and discrimination!
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, discuss why people are now not willing to take available, advertised jobs. The restaurants are unable to function properly because they are short employees. Even Walmart is not able to check out its customers properly. Jobs are indeed available. Teri points out when Trump was in office, everyone was enjoying working, and now, as Denise, points out that those Federal “stay at home” COVID checks are a major problem.
Lester Holt (NBC anchor) said different people have different “sets of facts”. Stephen Parr points out that there is no such thing as “different sets of facts”…..facts are facts. They cannot change from one person to another. Is someone as critical to imparting information to the American public really that confused as to the difference between FACTS and OPINIONS? Facts must be able to be substantiated. Journalists MUST focus on substantiated facts, and not confuse that with opinions being presented as “facts”.
A true Bright Spot is the television series “The Chosen,” now having been seen in every country on the planet and translated into 70 different languages. “The Chosen” is indeed a big deal! It is a multi-season television series about the life of Jesus Christ, and interestingly, it’s first season was the highest crowd-funded TV series or film to date, partly indicating the believing in the importance of Christianity is still significant in American life. Over 19,000 people contributed to the production costs of the first year of the series. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone visit with Justen Overlander, Associate Producer, about how to watch the series on a variety of viewing screens for free by using the App, as well as the “pay it forward” project. Donations can be made at https://watch.angelstudios.com/thechosen/pif
Just as in police states, the Biden Administration is working on setting up mandatory COVID vaccine “passports” to be maintained on your smart phones. They say it is because our big American businesses and corporations are going to require proof of vaccination before allowing people into their businesses. Keep in mind, this is being pushed by the same people (Democrats in power) who say it is unreasonable to have to show ID in order to vote!
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr have a number of problems with this idea, including how it can be used as a tracking device of all American citizen movement and how it would probably be a serious violation of HIPAA. But President Biden and Vice President Harris apparently won’t need to have such a passport.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are quite irritated that “charity” community organizations, also known as NGOs (Non-Governmental Organization) are far more motivated by the dollars the Federal Government pays them to support the Illegal Immigrant “trade” rather than putting their “charity priority” on the critical needs of American citizens already under their care. The very idea that a Kirkland, Washington NGO (Friends of Youth) would evict a long-term couple who provides critically needed foster care for orphaned, troubled teenagers just because they could make more money taking in the illegal Unaccompanied Alien Children (many of whom are already teenagers) is appalling. Just more proof the Biden Administration is not concerned about Americans.
Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) visits on the phone with Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone about a number of situations going on in Congress right now. He is very clear Conservative Americans MUST get informed and then MUST get involved at the local level. FREEDOM IS IN GREAT JEOPARDY.
Rep. Johnson explains the Biden Infrastructure Plan is not actual proposed legislation at this point. It is just a Democrat Big Government “Wish List”. Only $115 Billion out of $2 Trillion that are actually dedicated to building roads and bridges.… or less than 6%!
Rep. Johnson also explains the Democrats are planning to impost gigantic tax increases on Americans, including small businesses, at a time when we cannot afford it. We still have a long way to go to recover from all the economic damages done by all the lockdowns from the past year.
He further explains that Pelosi has intentionally side-stepped all the standard, “regular order” procedures in the US House, meaning no committee hearings, no debating, no amendments. There has been a dramatic change in the atmosphere on Capitol Hill (now called FORT PELOSI) over the past four years (meaning since the Democrats got control of the House in 2018), and it is not good for the American people nor the Nation. The Democrats have been clear they have no interest in even getting to know their Republican colleagues.
The Socialist Democrats are weaponizing “hate crimes” when such crimes are already real crimes. The purpose it to use either real or imaginary personal thought in connection with crimes as a way to further divide the American People, and further their goal of turning us into something we are not.
What Happened to the Flu this Year? No one seems to mention it nor to be getting sick with it, and yet we have such fear of COVID? What happened?
What a disaster! Biden gave Kamala Harris the responsibility of addressing the mess at the Southern Border with all the illegals paying the criminal Mexican coyotes to smuggle them into the USA. So what is she planning to do? Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are reporting that she is planning to have discussions with the leaders of Central America about corruption and ….. yeah…..climate change!
Under “never let a good crisis go to waste,” Kamala Harris explains how the Democrats are using the COVID crisis to force Americans to accept their socialist goals. It sounds like she has just telegraphed what the Democrats are really planning to do to the American people……hurt them so badly they will accept anything for relief.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are quite negatively impressed with Lil Nas X’s “Satan Shoes”, with its unauthorized use of the Nike logo, the claim it contains a drop of human blood in the sole of the shoe, and several other inappropriate additions. The price tag is $1,018. Nike is suing.
Biden, the Democrats and the Press have suddenly and aggressively declared a serious problem of hate crimes against Asians because of the “China Virus”. Unfortunately, they are not providing any statistical evidence to show there is such a problem in the United States. It is just more dangerous gaslighting, and it all needs to stop.
Real world data, which has been collected from the people actually having received the vaccine, is showing the Pfizer and Moderna are both highly effective at stopping the spread of COVID after just one dose, even though they both require a second dose of the vaccine a few weeks later. Both are showing to be 80% effective within 2 weeks of receiving the first injection. At this point, 28% of the American population has gotten at least one dose of one of these two vaccines. Even better, 75% of the people at greatest risk, meaning over the age of 65, have had at least one injection. We are quickly reaching the point where Americans need to tell their Governors and Mayors to get out of their way and let them go on with their lives without government interference.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr strongly believe in the importance of top officials leading with conviction and sound leadership principles. However, they cannot define “leadership” as including any element of “fear”. Unfortunately, the new CDC Director Rochelle P. Walensky, MD, MPH has already stated her “leadership” of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will be heavily wrapped with her own personal fears, many of which are now clearly outdated fears. She believes it is her job to control the American People, and she plans to do it by scaring the daylights out of us. That is not good, and it is not leadership.
The Democrats in Washington, DC are very worried about the pending doom on the horizon regarding COVID. Considering the success of the Nation starting to reach herd immunity with the vaccines, Louis Avallone is wondering if this is to try to force all the States to hold 100% mail-in ballot elections in 2022. Stephen Parr explains that the CDC (Center for Disease Control) is really shifting into being the CPC (Center for People Control).
A recent news reports show the Seattle City Parks and areas surrounding school playgrounds are now unusable by the local residents. They have now been taken over by the homeless, with their tents set up in the baseball dugouts and around the monkey bars. Used hypodermic needle and other drug paraphernalia litter the park grounds, making it unsafe for people and pets. Apparently, Seattle is not the only place having this problem. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, point out that essentially all of these cities are Democrat run. Even so, the Democrats are treating illegals better than they are their own homeless and definitely better than their working residents who are paying the taxes!
Even though Biden made a big deal out of declaring Kamala as being in charge of the border, her press secretary has announced that Kamala Harris “is not doing the border.” At no point in her career has she ever indicated she cared about the problems at our Southern Border, and it seems nothing has changed.
Texas Democrat Congressman Henry Cuellar represents a TX-28, which goes from McAllen northwest well past Larado along the Rio Grande River. The rest of his district runs due north to San Antonio. Thus, Cuellar’s entire district is heavily impacted by all the illegal activities at the border due to Biden’s failure to enforce US Border Laws. To help Americans understand the problem, he gave photos to various news outlets showing the border problem because reporters are being blocked access. He is reporting the Biden Administration is turning illegal loose into the United States “without a notice to appear” before any American Judge or US Court.
A new scientific study published in the current issue of “JAMA Pediatrics” says the rates of teenage addiction to cannabis and opioids is about the same. The risk for teenage addiction is running just a little over 10% for those who use either one. This is an issue parents, educators, and physicians need to watch closely.
Joe Biden, determined to have the first MAJOR TAX HIKE since 1993, said he would only raise taxes on Americans making more than $400,000. Well…….not actually. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr go over how this most likely will end up including a lot of Americans who do not come close to making $400,000 a year.
Pelosi’s HR1 is trying to make a farce of the 50 States' Voter Laws. It would make it illegal for States to remove dead people from the voter rolls! (Wow! We must have had a lot of dead people voting Democrat every year!) It also would force States to accept “same day” voter registration — with no ID needed , making it impossible to determine if people were legally voting, provided the Senate passes it. Why”? The voting “dream” provisions Pelosi has in this bill are intended to destroy all purposes and individual American safeguards of the US Constitution.
Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur and Teri Netterville, have had enough of the dishonesty of the main stream press, and they have a lot to say about it!
The Texas House of Representatives held hearings throughout the night on making the Texas Gun Laws provide for “Constitutional Carry”. Constitutional Carry means the governments cannot restrict carrying a firearm in public. There cannot be licensing or other provisions restricting a person from having a gun in public. In states where criminals actually do not know if someone is carrying a gun, it has helped deter crime. Currently, there are 16 States which have “Constitutional Carry” as their fundamental gun law: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are very interested in President Biden’s statement that he does plan to run for re-election as President in 2024……..but then maybe not. They also find it interesting Biden isn’t even sure there will be a Republican Party to run against in 2024. Why would that be?
Because the News Media is not doing its job of reporting on how many crimes were averted because of armed citizens, the Democrats are pushing for honest Americans to register all their weapons so all government agencies will know exact information about all Americans and their guns. This will not stop crime. It will make it much easier for the Democrats to come through and confiscate all those guns at a later time….just as happened in all socialist, dictatorial countries in the past, including Nazi Germany.
Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur are astounded that anyone would think Bill Clinton, along with Hillary and Chelsey Clinton, should be speaking to anyone about “Empowering Women”, and our American Mamas have a lot to say about it!
While the Biden “Press Conference” was clearly staged, it turns out that part about Good News regarding COVID, which they did not want to talk about, is because they are following Donald Trump’s plans.
Stephen Parr discusses the results of the 2020 Election Fraud Investigation out of Missoula, Montana where the then Democrat Governor changed election laws without legislative approval, authorizing all voting by mail. Yes, there really were problems which could have changed the election outcome.
The decisions being made by “somebody” in the Biden White House are looking like they are either not well thought out or are intentionally destructive. Consider the immediate changes done by Biden to undo all the positive steps Trump had developed to solve the southern border crisis. The “Remain in Mexico” policy was working. Biden killed it, and now at the Press Conference, he seemed to think “remaining in Mexico” would be a good idea.
While most comedians are absolutely afraid to try, Dana Carvey has figured out how to do a very good impersonation of Joe Biden, which —while quite funny —is not mean. Louis Avallone tells Stephen Parr his impersonation of Biden needs “a little work”, however.
Any professional athlete -- man or woman -- must understand there is a direct connection from revenues from a viewing audience and their personal paycheck. Apparently, Women’s Soccer has a problem with that reality. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the subject in some detail.
During the Obama Administration, women were badly hurt economically as compared to men. Under Trump, that turned around, and women’s unemployment was at an impressive low….until all the Governors started shutting down businesses, putting women (especially single women) out of work. The Biden Administration now wants to ignore productional differences. This is just one more Democrat effort to destroy Capitalism and to turn America socialist-communist.
Kamala Harris’ niece was so excited over the prospect that a white man might have been the shooter in the Boulder, CO shooting that she sent out a Tweet assuming that to be true. Only it was a Muslim Syrian immigrant instead. Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, point out that the Press is ignoring this behavior by the Vice President’s relative. Now, the liberals are being sympathetic because he turned out to be Muslin. Even though this shooter was on a watch list, but the FBI approved his purchasing a gun anyway.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone take a look at the factors which could have contributed to the US murder rate being up this year.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr begin this segment discussing why a witness in a US Senate Hearing regarding a potential National voting law claimed that removing dead people from the voter rolls is voter suppression. Dead People! They then reports that the American Bald Eagles have increased about 4 times their number in 2009. But the greatest threat today to the American Bald Eagles just happens to be those “green energy” windmills!
The shooting in Colorado where ten people were killed in a grocery store, once again, instantly generated extreme left Democrats to call for banning weapons in the hands of good Americans. Facts were not even known when the demands for banning guns started! Those facts include the shooter is supposed to be Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, a Muslim who emigrated to the US from Syria as a child, and he purchased the weapon he used only 6 days before the shooting. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the issues involved in this crime.
Typical of every gun “crisis” the Democrats can have happen, both politicians and television media instantly started demanding gun control again….even before the identity of the Boulder, CO shooter was identified. This was classic GROUP THINK, or in other words, a continuation of attempting to convince Americans not to use their own brains to think for themselves. Democrats know they cannot turn America into a completely socialist, communist country as long as honest Americans own guns and ammunition, which clearly has become their goal.
Louis Avallone shares a White House communication to all government agencies instructing them to refer to this current administration as the Biden-Harris Administration. Does this mean the White House is already in transition to making Harris President?
Virginia has had the most severe lockdowns, and it also is the state with the most COVID deaths per capita. The statistics indicate that the lockdowns had very little impact upon the death rate from COVID. Unfortunately, the lockdowns did not really save lives from COVID; but they did lead to more deaths, such as heart attacks and suicides, because of medical treatment delays, stress from loss of human interaction and income, and depression. The same is true in other Nations as well.
Former President Trump had been very effective around the world in containing our Nation’s enemies and improving overall world peace. It has taken only weeks for our enemies, China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran, to start acting up again in very bad ways with Biden and Harris. The world is now a much more dangerous place.
Since the second impeachment trial, ratings for cable news networks have dropped substantially. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the statistics and the reasons behind those numbers.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the fact that we all have talents and abilities, but those are not all exactly the same for all people. For example, we cannot all be valedictorian (only one person can be #1 in the graduating class), nor can we all be professional athletes. That reality does not mean the system is rigged against anyone. Just as giving every kid a trophy, we cannot eliminate all these personal unique differences among us. And to be honest, race has nothing to do with anything.
The American People are beginning to figure out that the Biden Administration is not being consistent with their politics and their spending of taxpayer money. Why are they spending $86 mil to put illegal immigrants into hotels and to feed them, but the National Guard (which are not needed in DC for security) have had to sleep in the cold on garage floors and eat food that made them sick?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about how everything the Press wants to talk about somehow has to be focused upon race. To illustrate the point, Paul Andre Michels, brother of a man recently murdered in Atlanta, said “This is a drive-by media creating a narrative that is not correct. I wish they would stop, think about what they’re doing and quit stoking racial division in this country. We don’t need it.” The Press does not care about the damage it is doing. It is all about numbers and being popular.
As Ronald Reagan said, so much of what so many “know” just is not true. This seems to be especially true about COVID. Stephen Parr shares the degree to which Americans are misinformed about this illness. This is because the media is really only putting out BAD NEWS about COVID, and then they repeat it until that is all Americans are hearing.
Project Veritas is suing the New York Times for defamation, and it just won a very important victory over the New York Times in court. Stephen Parr explains the details.
White House Press Secretary, Jen Psaki, is having problems knowing the correct definitions of the words “Challenge” and “Crisis”. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain the difference, with examples!
In Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954), the Supreme Court ruled that “separate but equal” was not legal. This has been settled law for the past 65 years! But now, Columbia University, in New York City, has now decided to hold segregated graduation ceremonies. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, discuss what is going on with the “woke” extremists, including the big corporate media.
Using Pelosi’s own words and actions, Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone prove two points: 1.) Democrats do not want to respect the outcome of elections they do not win, and 2.) Democrats do not support Women. Currently, Pelosi is doing everything she can to power grab against two duly elected Republican Women in the US House. The reality is Pelosi is personally trying to overturn State elections, in spite of the The Members of the US House having no authority over the outcome of any State election results for the US House.
Fake News Friday
Most Americans are just trying to get back to what was “normal” in their lives prior to March, 2020. They are exhausted from all the restrictions and confinements of the past year. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are wondering if the Democrats are counting on this national level of exhaustion to “tune everything out” so we won’t notice what they are deliberately doing…..things which are completely destabilizing and endangering our Nation, including National Security.
Just as with the Obama Administration, the Biden Administration is somehow enabling manufacturing jobs to leave the USA again! This is another National Problem Former-President Trump had essentially solved!
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, know of many good causes for which a “Go-Fund-Me” account would be very nice to start; but the dysfunctional Royals, Harry and Meghan, are not on that list! The good news only 3 people contributed, raising $110.00.
The 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution is critical in protecting the entire Constitution itself. The Founding Fathers knew what they were doing when they agreed to add it. Well, Sheila Jackson-Lee has proposed a bill to require a National Gun Registration, including a $75,000 fine and a 15 years in prison sentence for failing to do so. Most honest, legal gun owners would more likely start flying an American Flag in their front yards, with a “Come-and-Get-It” flag right below it!
The Reagan Foundation just completed its 2021 “Reagan National Defense” Survey. The United States Military has the highest trust as a governmental agency among the American people with a score of 56%. This is actually a problem. Trust in the military has dropped sharply, however, in recent years. Until now, the American Military was required to be non-political, and its commitment has been to uphold the US Constitution, not a political party or any human being holding office.
Frightening! Biden is the only thing essentially blocking full-on Socialism being put into place in the USA. Harris, however, really could make it happen.
What do Americans like in a good boss?
Now that Biden has created utter chaos on the border (where it was quite manageable the day before he took office), Biden now has created a “Border Czar”! The official title for the ‘Border Czar” is “Southern Border Ambassador”. Never mind that we have the Department of Homeland Security, which suddenly isn’t able to do the job any more, nor FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) which ought to be able to handle true emergencies at the border! None of these Biden Border decisions are making any sense.
FINALLY! ABC reports on a stolen election — for a Florida Homecoming Queen! Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr have reported on at least one factually stolen election or voter fraud issue a week for weeks! So, keep listening to American Ground Radio of you want important news!
The people supporting “Critical Race Theory” are actually pushing intolerant, racist attitudes to the extreme! Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are calling it for what it truly is. “Power” turns one into a “nut bag” — a crazy person! These mean girl bullies really hate white men!
Since President Trump both wiped out ISIS and created peace in a substantial part of the Middle East, what is the reasoning behind the Biden Administration already sending billions of dollars to Iran within the first few weeks of their term? Why have they moved American troops back into Syria, as if we needed to be an occupying force? What are they really doing?
At the beginning of the COVID lockdown, American Ground Radio asked several government officials if they had done an assessment of the potential consequences of their planned lockdown in advance. No one even bothered to answer, meaning no assessment had been done. That meant all the economic decisions were made in essentially panic mode. Logging and milling lumber was deemed “non-essential”, but Lowes and Home Depot were deemed to be “essential”. The unintended consequence is it has never been more expensive to buy wood than it is right now. The National Association of Home Builders has said the current high cost of lumber is going to add an additional $24,000 to the average cost of building the average sized house today.
The President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, told Tucker Carlson people are leaving El Salvador trying to enter the US illegally because his country has not done a good job of providing economic opportunity and security. He also said the US is hurting the people of the United States by encourage this migration. His people will just send “remittances" out of the US, not spend their money here. And they are consuming benefits that Americans are having to pay for. The America is not getting any good out of it.
The liberals now have another made up term to use to attack Conservatives — “Toxic Positivity”! Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr have always believed the Greatness of America is because of the Greatness within the American People. Obviously, the left is desperately trying to destroy such a positive idea as that, to the point that they are both changing the real meaning of words and even making up new terms!
The White House’s “Circle Back” spokeswoman is quite good at talking in circles, saying absolutely nothing! When asked if FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) being on the southern border meant we now have an emergency on that border, Jen Psaki answered with such non-connected, circular reasoning that she ended up saying nothing at all! Is that her job? To keep Americans informed through the American news system or to cover up whatever it is the people inside the White House are really doing that they don’t want the American people to know about?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about the mess going on over on CBS’s “The Talk” involving comments Sharon Osbourne made defending Piers Morgan. Oh good grief!
While the Democrats have been totally supportive of Big Tech censoring Conservatives and their Constitutional Rights of Free Speech, the Democrats have ignored Twitter having sites promoting porn, drugs, and suicide. But Russia has said they will not tolerate it any more. All of twitter will be banned if it all is not removed immediately.
Whenever government interferes with the Free Market, it only makes the Rich richer and the Poor poorer. That is because the Government is undermining Capitalism, which history has repeatedly shown helps all economic groups. This means Socialist Governments make sure there are only the VERY RICH and the VERY POOR in their countries. Now look at who is supporting the Democrats — the Super Rich and the Super Poor. That is because the Democrats are actually Socialists, and their goal is to destroy the Middle Class.
Senator Mitch McConnell warned Democrats that if they get rid of the Senate Filibuster, he has the power to completely shut down the operations of the Senate….and he will.
Comparing the results from Obama’s tax increases to the results of Trump’s tax cuts, it is obvious income inequality gets worse under tax increases and improves under tax cuts. Thus “trickle down” economics works much better under tax cuts, contrary to what Biden and his Administration are saying. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr point out the dishonesty of the Democrat “Playbook” on this matter.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr remind us all, once again, Our Rights do not come from government, from governmental agencies, nor from politicians. They specifically come from OUR CREATOR! There is no COVID pandemic exception!
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are now very disappointed in Disney’s new “wokity-woke-woke-woke” behavior. Disney’s children’s programming and products have been quite fine for decades, and suddenly now they are not. Disney cartoon movies, for example, taught children valuable lessons about life and getting along with others. Are they doing all this stuff to divert our attention from what the Biden Administration and the Pelosi US House of Representatives are currently doing to undermine the best interests of Americans?
China's Central Military Commission Vice Chairman Xu Qiliang has publicly declared that war with the United States is inevitable. In response, America’s Maj. Gen. Richard Coffman has been quoted as saying "I think that means that you [meaning the Chinese] are willing to strike first because, if it's inevitable, why would you wait for your adversary to strike first?” Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss some aspects of this threat.
Fake News Friday
The birth rate in the Western Nations, including the USA, have been going down. During times of uncertainty, people are less likely to start a family. We saw it during the Great Depression, during WWII, and now during the COVID mess. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the problems and the implications of this dropping fertility rate.
Citing Kroger continuing to close stores in the Los Angeles area following local minimum wage increases, Louis Avallone explains that government cannot “order” nor “mandate” solutions to problems. Instead of helping, such governmental actions end up making conditions worse. The best solution is actually for government to stay out of economics and let the marketplace settle these issues.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are concerned about Meghan Markle already being estranged from her entire family, and now she is creating major issues with the Royal Family she married into. There has been a long established set of rules for the Royal Titles, and Meghan’s claim of racism has nothing to do with it. Her son is too far removed from the Royal Line of Succession onto the Throne. As for Harry, he is going along with playing the victim role, which is not who he used to be.
After discussing the Democrats efforts to require all Americans to first get permission from the Federal Government (through a local gun shop) before allowing a his or her own child to use a personally owned gun, Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone look at a number of outrageous and very dangerous bills being sent to the Senate after having passed Pelosi’s House. The ONLY reason these bills would not become law would be because of the Filibuster in the Senate. Unfortunately, the Senate has been “blowing up” the Filibuster as it related to Federal Judges and the US Supreme Court. If they do away with it for regular legislation, we will be in great trouble.
The nuclear family is the fundamental building block of a community. If the people wanting to destroy the United States can destroy the nuclear family, then they are going to be very close to achieving their goal. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone share data showing public trust in Law Enforcement has increased in the past year because they have taken the "high road” in this issue. Antifa and BLM have taken a very decided “low road”.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss how CNN and other news agencies seem to not have anchors and reporters who truly are knowledgable about our US Constitution, our absolute Rights, or our great history? CNN nor any aspect of our government at any level can declare what our Rights are, but they have been doing it for the past year.
The COVID “experts” have only been looking at the issues affecting that one disease, and thus have ignored all of the other ramifications — especially the negative ones — related to their recommendations. Truly good physicians look at all the various aspects of the issue and recommend those measures which do the most good while doing the least harm. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are strong believers in and supporters of America’s Shelter Pet System. However, as with all pets, adopting a shelter dog does carry the responsibility to properly train and otherwise care for these animals. They fear the Biden dogs may not have been appropriately introduced into the lifestyle of the White House, and as a result, a Secret Service Agent was bitten.
There are standards required by our American judicial system to ensure each person charged with a crime can have a truly fair trial. Publicity, demonstrations, and a a civil case settlement about a case can prevent selecting a truly impartial jury. One way to address the problem is with a change of venue. With all of those factors existing in Minneapolis for the former police officer, Derek Chauvin, in the death of George Floyd, is there any way he can get a fair trial?
While the rest of the United States public school systems have been closed or partially closed all year, the Peaster Independent School District, a rural public school system in Weatherford, Texas, has been open all of the 2020-2021 school year. This is what the community decided was in the best interests of their children. All school operations continued just as they had in previous years, including all the extracurricular and social activities. Masks are totally optional. No separating of the desks, and no plexiglass dividers. Almost no one got COVID. No one was hospitalized and no one died. Even better, most students will be back on grade level by the end of this year!
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are concerned about President Biden’s cognitive ability. They are not alone. According to a recent Rasmussen poll, 50% of Americans are concerned Biden is not mentally up to the job of President.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are very impressed by and sympathetic for Steven Rauch, whose daughter was killed by police in Muskogee, OK after she and her boyfriend fired upon them first. They had been engaged in a series of criminal activities in several states leading up to the shooting. Steven Rauch invited the police who killed his 17-year-old daughter to her funeral in Nebraska, saying he hoped it would help them heal from what they had to do because they “were doing their jobs, they’re in pain and they had no idea that they were even teens.” Representing the officers involved, the Muskogee Chief of Police, Johnny Teehee, spoke at her funeral.
The impression the Democrats want Americans to have about the American Rescue Plan bill just passed is that it will help provide COVID relief. As Louis Avallone says, “Not hardly!” Stephen Parr explains less than 1% goes for the distribution of vaccines. If all of the COVID related medical spending covered in the bill amounts to only about 5%, exactly what is the other 95% going towards?
After briefly talking about how teachers need to keep their spring break vacations off of social media so parents won’t know opening up school really is possible, Stephen Parr shares the news that the University of Texas alma mater, “The Eyes of Texas”, is not a racist song! The conclusion is its history needs to be taught at student orientation.
“The Equality Act” is not about EQUALITY! Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr remind us that “words have meaning” and you really should know what those meaning are. Naming a bill “The Equality Act” is misleading. We had a Equal Rights law in the 1960s. This “Equality Act” is not an improvement over it. In fact, it actually does great harm in the long run against too many in the population….all for reasons that are hard to understand by too many Americans.
“The Equality Act” would let biological men into all women’s facilities, including sex offenders posing as Transgender. Schools will be required to teach early elementary students that they can choose to be a boy or a girl. This will turn America into a very dangerous place for so many, moving our civilized communities backwards.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, discuss the problem today of too many elected Democrats trying to use legislation to force us to like and to believe that which we do not. Legislation cannot change human nature. It cannot force friendships. Those are one-on-one relationships, and are developed personal experiences. BUT LEAVE THE KIDS & WOMEN’S SPORTS OUT OF THIS!
The United States National Debt is out of control. The problem is not revenue collection. The problem is Congressional spending. Congress loves to spend more money than is collected as taxes.
The Federal Government now owes more money to other countries and other people than all Americans combined are able to produce in a single year. That is the Debt to GDP Ratio. It also puts America on a very bad list of debtor nations: Japan, Greece, Lebanon, Italy, Singapore, Cabo Verde, Portugal, Angola, Mozambique, and the USA. It is time to stop spending money we do not have.
Keith E. Whittington is the Chair of the Academic Freedom Alliance, which is an organization committed to protecting and defending academic freedom. The dis-inviting of Conservative speakers to campuses is indeed a problem. The strength of the University President is one factor. Financial donors is another. He also explains that we do not know exactly why college professors have tended to lean so much to the left over the decades. Unfortunately, conservative students tend to not continue towards remaining in Academia pretty early, which contributes to the situation.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr look at information coming out of the 2021 CPAC meeting and explain that America is still a Nation of Ideals, of Moral Values and of Laws. It definitely is not a country based upon the “importance of power” centered in the Rich, the Elitists, nor Self-Serving Politicians.
Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur and Teri Netterville, talk about both Governor Cuomo’s and the National Democrats’ double standards towards both sexual harassment and bullying.
After discussing problems of voter integrity, Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about the straw polling done at CPAC. The results are very informative.
Trump did better in managing the COVID-19 health crisis than Europe had done.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis spoke at the CPAC convention and in his remarks, he said “When you … engage in the battles ahead, hold the line. Stand your ground, and don’t ever, ever back down.”
Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur, explains why New York Governor Cuomo is not in more trouble with the media over all of his professional terrible judgment and totally intolerable personal conduct. Why are the liberal women deciding to let this slide? The double-standards are really astounding.
John Kerry is now telling us we only have 9 years left before it will be too late…..the carbon dioxide will be so great the earth will be doomed to overheating! He is choosing to ignore the science history of climate where at previous times there was more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and temperatures were colder. Meteorologist Stephen Parr (who has a Masters Degree in Geosciences) looks at all the “doomsday climate” predictions of the last 50 years, none of which have actually happened.
Fake News Friday
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss what is publicly known and what is confusingly unexplained about Ashli Babbitt’s death in the US Capitol Building on January 6, 2021 when she died after being shot by a Capitol Police officer.
Biden’s nominee for Deputy HHS Secretary is a very strong supporter of transgendered medicine (including hormones and surgical sex changes), and seems to be in favor of allowing such medical practices for young children. There seems to be reason to think Dr. Levine even favors the government being able to override parental opinion to allow such medical procedures. Senator Rand Paul, MD, a graduate of Duke Medical School, expressed concern about subjecting children to such procedures.
Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur, still has some of her special childhood toys, and she is perplexed that all the toys and clothing for children “must” be gender neutral when less than 1% of the American population is transgender.
The Democrat Party has now divided into two branches — that which is seen in socialist countries (including the very poor and very uneducated), and the extremely rich who will be untouched by these socialist goals.
Republicans are most concerned about 1.) illegal immigration (81%), 2.) a lack of support for law enforcement (79%). 3.) high taxes (77%), 4.) bias in media (75%), and 5.) economic damage from the COVID lockdowns.
Democrats are most concerned about 1.) spread of COVID infection (87%), 2.) Donald Trump’s supporters (82%), 3.) white nationalism (79%), 4.) systemic racism (77%), and 5.) economic damage from the COVID lockdowns.
This $19 Trillion bill making its way through Congress has a provision to give Federal workers HUGE bonuses…..way out of proportion to what all other Americans would receive. But there is a reason, and it is as dishonest as could be possible. Government Civil Service Workers Unions will take a substantial cut of the “bonuses”, and then turn around and give it back to Pelosi as campaign donations! Thus, Nancy Pelosi is abusing her position as Speaker of the House to bribe herself! And no one — other than American Ground Radio — is pointing this out!
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is pushing for a substantial Election Reform Bill — one which all states ought to follow. And naturally, the Democrats and the dishonest press are attacking his proposal, claiming it will “disenfranchising voters”. NO…..it will disenfranchising fraudsters.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr agree the Democrats and their extreme leftist friends are trying to shut down all avenues of communication between former President Trump and the American people because they are very concerned Trump will have huge support in 2024.
Biden’s statements over the years are proving to be very inconsistent. They tend to contradict over time. What does he really believe?
Our American Mama, Denise Arthur, does not understand Coca-Cola demanding people be less white. Why does skin color matter at all? She thinks what matters is how caring, hard working, honest, and capable you are.
Dr. Anthony Fauci began working for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 1968. He is not a practicing physician, which is important. Furthermore, history has shown his opinions on HIV (the virus which was the cause of AIDS) were very incorrect. Thus, Louis Avallone went back and listened to Fauci’s statements on CNN in January, 2020. He said healthy people did not need to be wearing masks. Now we are being told EVERYONE should wear two masks! And the problem with masks is now to the point of irrational behavior.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone look at the trustworthiness of government officials because the people of a Republic must be able to trust their public servants! The University of Illinois at Chicago put out its annual corruption report based upon the U.S. Department of Justice’s 2019 public corruption statistics. Chicago is once again #1.
President Trump established a working system with Mexico and Central America to manage migrants wanting to try to illegally crash the US Southern Border. It was working. But immediately upon taking office, Biden totally undid the entire system. Now people are heading to the border again, and the Biden Administration is blaming Trump.
Two new studies out of the United Kingdom, published in the scientist.com, found the hospitalization of new COVID cases after having had one vaccine shot dropped drastically within the next four weeks. This is a very good indication we should be able to return to normal living very soon. Stephen Parr explains similar data he found on the CDC website. However, Fauci is now trying to say we will never be able to return to “normal”. Apparently, he is ignoring the CDC data, and thus, it is time for Fauci to retire. He has done enough inconsistent “playing” with the scientific data to do more harm than good at this point.
How can you call yourself a liberal when you want to block dissent? Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss America’s constitutionally protected Right to Freedom of Speech, which currently is being blocked in this current environment of “quasi government operated information system”. The problem of being the one stifling Free Speech is eventually your own Free Speech will also be denied. Thinking the thoughts of 80,000,000 American people can be wiped away because they do not agree with yours is not rational thinking.
During the time when Donald Trump was indeed President of the United States, private citizen was in regular communication with Iran, undermining Trump’s Administration, which is a specific violation of the Logan Act. The problem is no one has ever been prosecuted under that law. But private citizens, especially when done by a member of a former administration, if very dangerous for the security of our Nation.
Our American Mama, Denise Arthur, talks about Tiger Woods’ car accident in California, in which he was injured badly enough to require surgery. While the man stream media was pushing their “indoctrination” news agenda, FoxNews is reported to have been running the following news stories: 1.) the detention centers in Texas for migrant children are really nice, 2.) we should not stop the flow of Texas oil, 3.) Russians oil pipe is a good thing, and 4.) Biden is wron1g on all these things. Denise goes over several examples.
The President of Mexico quickly figured this electric energy demand mess out! After over 5 million customers in Northern Mexico were also without power in this severe winter storm, he is making sure enough natural gas will be available in Mexico in the future. He is going to keep the coal generating plants operational as well. As for the “clean energy” programs…..not so much any more! The problem is that “Renewables” must also be “Reliables”.
Senators Mitt Romney and Tom Cotton are putting forth a bill 1.) to raise the Federal minimum wage to $10 an hour, 2.) to require all employers would need to use the Federal E-Verify system to verify legality for employment, and 3.) to expose much more severe penalties for employers hiring illegals. For a variety of reasons, it is both a really dumb idea for two Republicans to do and it has essentially no chance of passing.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone share some aspects of their video “Conservative Coaching for Leaders”, which is available on their website for Conservative Ground. www.conservativeground.org
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr question the authenticity of a number of Biden’s stories and statements, past and present. We know he now just “makes stuff up”. Has he always done that? He also has a history of saying most inappropriate remarks about the American Black community. Had then President Trump has said these exact things, the Press and the Democrats would have been all over it. Why not now?
The US Supreme Court waiting a full month after Biden had been sworn into office to announce it would not hear two 2020 election-related cases on appeal. As a result and even though it would not be applied retroactively, the Court has left too many Constitutional Federal Elections issues in a state of confusion. Justice Thomas stated in his decanting statement that “settling rules well in advance of an election rather than relying on post-election litigation ensures that courts are not put in [the] untenable position”.
Even though the frustrations and problems in 2021 already have been adding to our challenges from 2020, our American Mama, Denise Arthur, is wondering if we are ultimately going to become better people as a result. Are our families learning to do better? Are we learning how to be better neighbors again? Are we learning how to survive on our own better? Are we learning the government is not our best answer to problems? Denise thinks we are discovering things we as a people needed to know again.
Not everything is about race, and yet the Democrats are definitely talking about race in every possible context they can. They believe it gives them political power because by making everything about race, they believe they cannot be attacked for what they are doing.
We now have 15% of the population having received Coronavirus vaccines. The data shows we actually have been doing a better job of delivering the various Coronavirus vaccines than we almost ever do the flu vaccines, and we have accomplished this in only the equivalent of only 2 months — the last half of December, all of January, and part of February! And contrary to what the Biden Administration is claiming, the data also is showing the Trump Administration did a really good job of rolling out the vaccine and vaccine process across the country.
The States are responsible for administering the vaccine process, not the Federal government. According to the CDC, taken as a whole, the States are getting it to their respective populations very effectively. North Dakota and New Mexico have actually given 99% percent of the vaccines they have received so far. Only Alabama has used less than 75% of the vaccine it has received so far. Alaska has vaccinated 20% of its population in just these 8-9 weeks, followed closely behind by New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, West Virginia, and Connecticut.
Stephen Parr explains that the negative press is as much the fault of lazy reporting as anything because the reporters simply are not doing their “homework” before they start talking. He believes the current administration is really wanting to keep “the crisis” going as long as possible because it gives them power. Since the vaccines have become available, new COVID cases have dropped 77%.
Tommy Giles of the Shreveport Volunteer Network visits with Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone about the work they do to help the community following disasters. Giles explains such a community effort grows when the entire community finds itself in need simultaneously. People know what is needed in their own neighborhoods and should be responsible for taking care of their own. Hopefully, more people in more communities will begin their own Neighborhood Volunteer Help Groups in the near future.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how Big Media allows an outrageous double-standard for “optics” for Republicans as compared Democrats.
Calling in from home because of the ongoing bad weather, our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville, had been starting her days reading too much negativity online, and concluded that she needed to do better responding to others with Caring, Grace, Love, and Forgiveness. Hopefully others will learn to do so as well.
New York Governor Cuomo ordered nursing homes to take in patients who were currently sick with COVID-19. This was one of the most stupid things that could have been done in treating this highly infectious illnesses. The nursing homes tried to fight it, but lost. In May, because this was such a disaster, they changed how they were counting nursing home COVID deaths to cover up the mess by about 50%. Cuomo subsequently threatened to destroy anyone who dared question why he was covering up the real death numbers. Turns out New York City was the epicenter of COVID, and yet, the USNS Comfort (a Mercy-class hospital ship) sat in the NYC port essentially unused, as was the Javits Center, which the Corps of Engineers had converted to an alternate care facility. Why was this allowed to happen? The Press refused to do its job of investigation. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone explain.
Considering the original history of Arlington Cemetery, which was based upon hate of Robert E. Lee after the Civil War, Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are not surprised the Democrats are continuing that hate towards Former- President Donald Trump by trying to pass a law preventing him from being buried in Arlington. They are calling the bill “The No Glory For Hate Act”! The Democrats are engaging in what they define as “acceptable”, which is actually called “Noble Cause Corruption” — meaning you are allowed to do corrupt things in the name of “fighting evil”.
Michigan just removed more names from their voter rolls than was the difference in the Biden-Harris Michigan election results. And yet, no one seems to care to look into whether or not those illegal names made a difference in the outcome.
Calling in from home because of the continuously dangerous weather, our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about how totally inappropriate it is to be disrespectful of someone who has died, even if you were not especially fond of that person. Someone just lost a dear loved one, and at the very least, good people should be able to respect others’ grieving and loss. This includes a political personality like Rush Limbaugh.
good? The power grid failure in Texas this week gives us substantial data about how unreliable our electric system currently is and what must be done to improve it as rapidly as possible. The bottom line is the Texas Grid Failure was because of too much government subsidized solar and wind generation, making it impossible for unsubsidized natural gas to compete in the market place.
From a meteoritical standpoint, wind is very unreliable during extreme heat and extreme cold weather conditions…..just when we need all generation to work to full capacity. Thus during the Texas disaster, the lack of wind dropped wind electric generation from 15% to 1% just as the winter freeze rolled in. And because it was nighttime, solar went to 0%. Renewable energy no longer was available, and electric needs statewide suddenly increased. Natural gas generation did ramp up to a level higher than it had been producing in the past 12 months. It just was not enough.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone remember Rush Limbaugh, paying tribute to his influence and accomplishments in the American Conservative Movement.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr see no reason to still have troops in Washington, DC, nor to have those fences around the US Capitol Building. This is supposed to be government OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE and FOR THE PEOPLE — not the “government of the government, afraid of the people”. If the elected officials in the Federal Capital are that afraid of WE THE PEOPLE, then they are doing things wrong. And to “circle back around”, because if the importance of clearing out of Washington, DC politicians who do not believe in WE THE PEOPLE, the Republican Party must strongly unite together under Trump’s and others’ leadership.
The 2nd Amendment reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” In 2008 in the District of Columbia v. Heller, the Supreme Court ruled that this Amendment applies to individuals. Biden may be planning to use Executive Orders (which he previously said was “dictatorial”) to either ban further sale of semi-automatic weapons or to confiscate them. Further, he is planning to create situations where gun manufacturers can be sued until they go out of business. Either way, this is definitely going to be fought through the Courts.
Calling in from home because of the dangerous weather, our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, discuss the problems of the Democrats’ double-standards regarding what they have decided will be “allowed” thought, speech, and behavior for Conservatives as compared to the “encouraged” intolerance, spoken hate, and planned violence they encourage to happen by their liberal supporters. How do we find a way to undo this when somehow so many on the liberal side do not even recognize they have been manipulated by very evil liberal politicians, Hollywood personalities, and the press to think this double-standard is appropriate?
Police Officer Deaths jumped nearly 60% in 2020 as compared to 2019. During that same time, anti-police attitudes increased. The purpose of having police is actually in the Declaration of Independence — to secure the Rights of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness for our American population. This means police must enforce the laws which exist to protect those American Rights. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone look at a number of anti-police “reforms” which have been done and how they are or are not working, such as bail reform, defunding the police, and using social workers as a replacement for police.
Rasmussen did a poll on whether or not it would be good for the economy for the Federal Government to have more or less control over the US Economy. 54% said it would be bad and only 19% said it would be good! Every demographic in this poll agreed having government too involved in either business or personal matters would be bad. Why is this so different than what the most recent Presidential election would have indicated?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr try to figure out why Senator Bill Cassidy essentially committed political suicide by voting to convince Former-President Donald Trump. One possibility might be a mis-construed sense of power. Another might be a possibility for the Democrats to get Cassidy to leave the Senate for a position in the Biden Administration, allowing Democrat Gov. John Bel Edwards to appoint himself to the Senate and thus giving the Democrats complete control of the US Senate, rather than the 50-50 split we currently have.
Vice President Kamala Harris is claiming the Trump Administration had no strategy or plan for the distribution of the COVID vaccine, so now the Biden Administration is claiming — falsely, of course — that they are having to start all over. Apparently, “letting the States” manage their own distribution was not an acceptable plan. Is that because the Democrats see all State governments as being totally incapable of tending to their own affairs (States Rights Amendment 10)? Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain this is how Federalism works. Too bad Harris is from California where nothing works (!) because she would have otherwise known the process of administering the vaccines has been ongoing since December.
Calling in from home because of the dangerous weather, our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are not impressed with the double standard “cancel culture” now being exhibited on “The Bachelor”.
Who and how are elected representatives supposed to be considering in making their official decisions? Are they supposed to pay attention to the calls, e-mails, and letters their offices receive on each matter? Are they supposed to vote according to the most current popularity opinion polls from “back home”? Or are they supposed to ignore what those who elected him/her want and just do what seems best or most politically advantageous at the time? Every decision should be run through the second sentence of the Declaration of Independence, first and foremost. Next, politicians should tell people what they will or will not do during the campaign, if elected, and then do what they said. You serve the people, and do not cause surprises in your decisions. Explanations must stand up to the facts!
For many decades, Teachers Unions have claimed to “be about the students” when their actions (including strikes) have really been about who was going to run the schools, the School Boards or the Teachers’ Unions. This time, across the Nation, the Teachers’ Unions have shown who they really are and what matters to them most….POWER. And parents across the Nation now know it.
74,000,000 Americans voted for Donald Trump. The Socialist-Democrats are truly afraid of that kind of support for the values behind the slogan “Make America Great Again”, because that is not their political goal. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss why they are doing everything they can to shut down or otherwise intimidate those who want America, as a Nation, American Citizens, and American values to be first and foremost in the political arenas of Federal, State, and Local governments.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how the concept of the American Dream has changed over time, and yet, in spite of all our current difficulties, so many Americans still believe they have the opportunity to achieve the American Dream today.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are amazed at how some people in Louisiana are really unhappy government officials did not immediately get out their snow plows and clear the roads. They explain that Louisiana and nearby southern states are well prepared to handle hurricanes, heat waves, and tornadoes. Snow so seldom is a southern weather event that it is not a good use of taxpayer money to purchase and store snow removal equipment.
Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy ran for re-election representing himself to be a loyal supporter of President Trump. Almost immediately after re-election, he started behaving as if he was not. By being one of only 7 Republicans to vote to convict Former-President Trump in a totally sham, totally political impeachment process, he has now been censured by the entire Louisiana Republican Party by unanimous vote. Even so, he has been on television indicating he is not in Congress to represent the Will of the People of Louisiana, but rather to decide on his own what is best for them.
There is a study out by the Family Research Council indicating there is a correlation between being married and being more conservative. Stephen Parr goes over the research data, and Louis Avallone explains why conservatism and multi-generational families are more likely.
The show begins with a reminder of the Billy Joel song, "Honesty", and the lyric “Honesty Is hardly ever heard”. This seems to be especially true of Democrats and their politics, and it became an extreme problem during the Obama Administration. Currently Governor Cuomo has been lying about his State’s nursing home deaths due to COVID-19, and the Democrats in Congress have been lying about Trump being responsible for the Capitol Riot. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain in some detail.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, would not put anything into their hair which can be bought at a hardware store, and that would include Gorilla Glue. The problem is “common sense” no longer has value to people any more. We now live in a land where you don’t have to take responsibility for anything you do when you can blame someone else.
The Biden Administration seems to want to be friends with countries that really do not want to be friends with us, and in the process, seem to be irritating our real world friends. This is not good. Are Israel and Saudi Arabia our friends? Why not be nice to them? What about Canada, with the mutual peaceful border? Why treat them badly? Stephen Parr provides a long list of nations that are our friends and ones that are not.
Fake News Friday
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain why the Democrats think there is nothing that can stop them. They have been testing the boundaries of what Americans will tolerate, and they have decided there are no limits because, so far, they have not been stopped. The media won’t stop them. The internet and Big Tech won’t stop them. Law enforcement and the courts don’t seem to be stopping them. And there are even several RINOs who are going along with what they are doing. Thus, they no longer believe they even have to pay attention to the words written in the US Constitution! An example is letting a senator act as both the judge (when the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is the only one legally able to do it). But then worse, that same “judge” senator is voting on the fake impeachment of a private citizen. Why would they, including the 6 RINO Senators, be doing this? Because they hate Donald Trump more than they love Americans.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, think some British health officials have lost their minds. There is a point where “political correctness” reaches the absolute absurd…..AND THIS IS IT! You can change all the words you want, but those X and Y chromosomes are being very stubborn when it comes to “political correctness”. Why do we need “gender-inclusive” terms to apply to the actual female process of giving birth and feeding newborn babies? To better understand the issue, please listen to the entire segment!
Which State leads the Nation in exports to Foreign Countries? Texas, for the past 19 years, followed by California, New York, and Louisiana. But Texas exports 4 times the volume of California, New York, and Louisiana combined! Because Texas has about 1/2 the entire border with Mexico, a very large trade happens there. Texas also is the Nation’s largest maritime exporter through the ports located all along the the shoreline with the Gulf of Mexico.
The Biden moratorium against drilling on Federal lands, as well as in the Gulf of Mexico, is going to increase the economic damage already done to Louisiana because of the COVID-19 tourism shutdowns. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain just the State of Louisiana will lose at least $95,000,000 in tax revenues, as well as 200,000 jobs in the oil and gas industry. This will further hurt all the small businesses which support the people who make their living off of those jobs. The results are going to be devastating. Other states which will be similarly heavily impacted are Texas, New Mexico, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Montana, and Alaska.
Dolly Pardon is a wonderful example about how hard work enables Americans to achieve “the American Dream”. Apparently, however, the political left are now hostile to both hard work and its resulting opportunities for success. Yes, it means one must work more than just “9 to 5”, but for people willing to work hard, they should not be regarded in any sort of negative point of view.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are very upset with Sen. Bill Cassidy. They explain how he used then President Trump to draw votes to be re-elected to the Senate, and then, instead of remaining loyal to a many who had been loyal to him, he immediately turns on Trump. Denise describes how Cassidy is a classic “name dropper” for the purpose of furthering his own career, which is definitely not a good character trait. Teri talks about how the Democrats are using edited video to get peoples’ emotions all upset, and they are doing it by spreading lies. Cassidy fell for it, and proving himself to be a classic RINO, he voted with the Democrats instead of voting for what was Constitutional!
After discussing the reality that women are 51% of the American population, and yet Biden just destroyed Women’s Sports, Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone explain the Congressional Budget Office has released its report on the consequences of the Minimum Wage being raised to $15.00 an hour across the Nation. What was not well reported was the part that 1.4 million jobs could be lost, although it could be as high as 3.7 million jobs! The only way some would actually be better off under a $15.00 an hour wage would be for others to have their jobs be completely wiped out.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been doing a good job of leading his state through these difficult times. The other 49 State Governors need to follow his example.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr point out the FBI has numerous affidavits supporting the evidence that planning for the Capitol Building riot was in the planning stages for at least two months before Jan. 6. Furthermore, they discuss the rates at the Trump International Hotel, which is located just blocks from the White House…..normal rates and “special event” rates. Very interesting information.
During declared States of Emergency for weather and other disasters, it is illegal to raise prices for the purpose of making profits. Why is it not the same if additional fees get added to services during declared States of Emergency for COVID-19?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about the most Super Bowl being too “woke” to appeal to so many, especially the commercials! What was the true meaning of the “Reunited States of America” with a communist Red Star in the middle? And while people are talking about the Jeep commercial, no one is talking about the crowd in the stadium booing the Bidens on the big screen, for the entire time they were being shown, promoting wearing masks. Teri really enjoyed watching Roger Goodell, NFL Commissioner, having to give the Lombardi Trophy to Tom Brady after Goodell’s past attitudes about Brady. Denise explains why the National Anthem needs to be sung the way John Scott Keys wrote it.
Correcting the record regarding Jan 6’s press reports: 1.) Donald Trump did NOT incite a riot. He did not call for violence nor for breaking any laws. 2.) Rioters overwhelmed the Capitol barricades before Trump quit talking in a different location some walking distance away. The rioting had already begun more than an hour before those listening to the speech could have walked to the Capitol after Trump spoke. 3.) The FBI knew this Capitol Riot was not “spontaneous”. They have evidence it was being planned weeks in advance. These are all very important details the Democrats and the dishonest press does not want the American people to know.
In a 6-3 ruling, the US Supreme Court has struck down California’s ban on indoor religious worship. Justice Gorsuch wrote “even in times of crisis, … ,we have a duty to hold governments to the Constitution”. The question is why the decanting 3 Justices think banning church worship is ever acceptable under the 1st Amendment to the Constitution. But why did these same conservative justices all California to ban singing during religious worship? Singing or chanting are fundamental elements of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
Just labeling something as “bipartisan” does not make it so. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr look at the way the term “bipartisan” is being considered in the Biden Administration and what it really means. True bipartisanism will bring COMMON SENSE to the decisions being made in government. It requires compromise. Without it, the Democrats are only bringing GRIEVANCE to governing.
Apparently, radio appears to the last beacon of FREE SPEECH in the USA. FoxNews just cancelled Lou Dobbs for his opinions about election fraud…..just as the US Supreme Court finally agreed to look at some election fraud cases. Free speech no longer can be found in universities, news print (papers or magazines), television, nor the internet. Anyone who tries to engage in the Constitutionally protected Free Speech under Amendment 1 will be shut down.
PETA wants us to stop calling each other animal names….because it is insulting to the animals! Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, tell us this is now called “speciesism”, which implies humans are superior to animals. Thus, PETA is telling us not to use words like “chicken”, “rat”, “snake", “pig”, or “sloth" in describing a human’s behavior because “anti-animal slurs degrade animals.…”
The Bill of Rights has 10 Articles which the Founding States felt were critical to protecting Americans from tyranny. The 10th Amendment reads “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.” This is a fundamental provision of our Nation actually being a Republic (which is very different from “a democracy”). The problem with Biden’s flood of Executive Orders is many are not Constitutional, and under the 10th Amendment, the States have power to fight back. North Dakota is taking action. What is your state doing?
The CDC is now saying schools can be safely reopened. Unfortunately for the students, there are too many teachers’ unions fighting to keep the schools closed. This is not about keeping the students safe, and for the most part, not even about keeping the teachers safe, since the scientific data shows students in elementary and middle schools are not likely to be spreaders of COVID-19. They will say “it is for the students”, but NO! It is about Union Power….as it always is whenever the Teachers’ Unions get involved. It is time for the Teachers’ Unions to put the best interests of the students first.
Fake News Friday
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr continue to be concerned by what Louis calls the “backwards, fruitless, and shortsightedness" of the Biden White House and all the damage he is doing with his flood of Executive Orders. In this segment of American Ground Radio, they analyze the huge expansion Biden’s Administration continues to make in the realm of immigration.
Rep. Maxine Waters lives by an incredible double standard, believing she is always “justified”, but the Republican never are…..not even when she is attacking Republicans for doing (in her mind) what she previously demanded her liberal followers to! Facts and Truth are irrelevant!
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, look at the “self-talk” sayings parents and grandparents used to say to children to teach values and self-reliance in the past. It helped children to grow up being able to evaluate and to cope with what happens in their lives. It did not create children who would become young adults unable to handle even “hurtful” words and needing safe spaces for “protection”.
The Biden Administration, along with those who are aggressively support them, are “gaslighting” the American people about why letting transgenders “identifying as females” play in Women’s Sport. The ACLU has joined the gaslighting on this subject with a series of tweets, all of which are absolutely not true. Stephen Parr explains.
In adopting new Social Studies curriculum standards for North Carolina schools, the North Carolina Board of Education decided to include more about racism, discrimination, and gender identity, as BLM was pushing for; however, the word “systemic” was removed from the wording of the curriculum standard. Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, a black himself, was not in favor of the original proposal which included the word “systemic”. Further, he has recently been quoted saying “The system of government that we have in this nation is not systematically racist.” His website said including that word in the changes would be "political in nature, undermine our unity, and indoctrinate our students against our great country."
Why is anyone believing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez any more? After all, she has accused Sen. Ted Cruz of trying to have her murdered during the Capitol Riot. Just doing that is incredible! But worse, AOC was not even in the Capitol Building at the time! She was in her own office in the Cannon Building, and Capitol Police were looking for her to be certain she was safe! Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has her office two doors down the hall, and has been clear there was no rioting people in that building. It would have been very easy for the news media to have checked out AOC’s “story” before going public, but being ugly towards Trump and Republicans was more important than reporting the factual truth.
In the first two weeks of the Biden Administration, there have been so many really bad decisions made which are now generating big, negative consequences upon the American people. And other senior political leaders are pushing for even more drastic actions. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are quite troubled with the apparent systematic indoctrination of our students in so many of America’s public schools today. As an example, only speakers from BLM were allowed to speak at a recent student assembly, and no one included to provide any sort of counterbalance. It is time for the parents of our students to start making calls and taking other actions, as needed, to get control of their children’s schools back into a better, fairer, more tolerant place.
The Long Beach, CA, City Council passed a new ordinance called “Hero Pay” as a way of thanking the grocery store workers for their service through the pandemic lockdowns…only for grocery workers, not the medical and emergency workers for some reason. This very bad idea turned out to be a mandated $4 an hour permanent wage increase, which must be paid by grocery stores. The result: Kroger is closing 2 stores, which are 2 of the 8 grocery stores in Long Beach.
In Indiana, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that a nativity scene being on display at the Jackson County Courthouse is indeed Constitutional.. This ruling is in keeping with other previous rulings in similar cases by both the Supreme Court and other Federal Courts. The fact that other secular symbols of the Christmas season, such as candy canes and Santa Clause, really makes the decorations be a celebration of the historical origins of Christmas, which is a National public holiday.
President Biden has now signed 40 Executive Orders in the first 13 days of being in office. Some are even saying the signature on these documents now do not look like Biden’s signature from years past. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are wondering who is really writing and approving this flood of Executive Orders because they are pretty certain Joe Biden is not in charge of this.
According to our US Constitution, Presidents do not have doctoral powers. That means no President can sign Executive Orders to override existing laws passed by Congress, especially if it involves money!
Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, “Ain’t No ‘Circle Back’ Girls"! They tell it the way they see it. Is it possible the White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki wants the questions in advance from the White House Press Corps so she can better prepare the official White House lies? Teri and Denise admit they often do not know what the questions are until they get to the studio. So what is Jen’s problem?
The Biden Administration knows the “Green New Deal” is not popular with Americans because it will cost too many jobs. So instead, the Left is determined to lie and to fool Americans into believing false garbage in order to ultimately be able to rule and control us. Bjorn Lomborg, author of “The Skeptical Environmentalist”, recently said that eliminating all oil and gas was not a reasonable move. “Gas is the bridge fuel.” He further explained, “This is the smart way to get a lot of nations away from coal towards gas. If we could get China to switch from coal to gas, we could do more than anything else..." in actually lowering carbon dioxide emissions.
At this point, more Americans have gotten the COVID-19 vaccine than have gotten the disease! More than 15% of the American population now have a reasonable degree of immunity, meaning either having had at least one dose of the vaccine or having recovered from the disease itself. Only the United States, Israel, the United Kingdom, and the UAE are now able to administer more vaccine doses each day than have new cases being reported. (And the truth is all of this has happened under the rollout plan from the Trump Administration.)
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are unimpressed that President Biden has declared today (Feb. 1) to be “Climate Day at the White House”, which he explains it is also “Jobs Day at the White House”. And then Biden goes through a long list of items which he claims are truly American or will improve American lives….ending with “a future of enormous hope and opportunity”. But in reality, everything Biden said in that statement is untrue. It is just “made up stuff". Louis and Stephen go through a long list of facts which contradict what Biden just said.
Is the CDC really reporting only 23 people have gotten the flu this year in the United States? Is everything being reported as COVID-19? No wonder so many people don’t trust the numbers being reported by the government this year!
While our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, feel very badly for anyone who loses a loved one to COVID-19, it is time to do a better job of figuring out how to realistically and more effectively teach our children. We know virtual learning is not doing the job. We know elementary and middle school age children are not a major factor in spreading the disease. We know school is the only truly safe and nurturing place too many children can be most days. We are losing an entire generation, both academically and socially, because of the prolonged isolation. It is time to let the healthy, younger teachers back into the classrooms, working out special arrangements for those who have special health problems. And it is time to recognize the Teachers Unions are not putting the students FIRST!
When our enemies do not respect our President in the White House, they start doing things that they should not. There is good reason to think China, Iran, and North Korea may not have appropriate “respect” for President Biden, at least not the way they did for President Trump. They knew Trump didn’t bluff, nor look the other way. At the moment, our enemies seem to be becoming more aggressive in dangerous ways. Stephen Parr explains.
A Hoover Poll out of Stanford University has been released, and, not surprisingly, it is showing some great divides between the beliefs of Republicans and Democrats. There are a few areas both groups come close to agreeing on, however.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss how the Democrats are so opposed to providing safety for the American people along the southern border with fencing, and yet, they are so afraid of the American people inside the Halls of Congress they want that ugly, temporary chainlink fence with razor wire, to become permanent. What really matters about fencing is why or why not use it?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how far to the extreme left the Democrats in Congress have become. Their words and behavior since taking power for this new Congressional term have served no purpose other than as an expression of their power to achieve their hopeful goal of total intimidation of those who voted for Donald Trump. What they are doing is more symbolism than any thing else, such as having the National Guard available for photo-ops and then kicking them outside in the cold when they were no longer “needed or useful”. Even more, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez even declared she believes Sen. Ted Cruz came close to having her murdered, although she did not provide any evidence to support her hysteric declaration.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are sick of mean people. There is no reason for it. Candace Cameron Bure posted a family Christmas picture, and because she is on the Hallmark Channel and is a Christian, “the haters” showed up. Rude is rude. Hate is hate. If you don’t know better, then it is time for you to go away….or be cancelled out yourselves!
What a tangled web we have with Game Stop, Robin Hood, Wall Street, Google, and now Sec. of the Treasury, Janet Yellen! Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone explain.
Fake News Friday
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the topics Peter Buttigieg brought up in his Senate Confirmation Hearings for Secretary of Transportation. In addition to the taxes already existing on gasoline, he plans to tax you for every mile you drive in your car or truck. While this may seem like a good idea to people living in big cities on the coasts, it is a terrible idea for everyone living in “flyover country”. What about the problem of getting food and other goods to market? The trucking industry would be very hard hit, and think about how local retail stores have been out of consumer goods in the past year. So, why are the Democrats really wanting to this?
In 2016, a Florida man posted memes about how to vote by texting. To many, this was probably considered a joke, not a serious “voter information” meme. The FBI and the Federal Prosecutors out of the Eastern District of New York now are claiming he was violating the Federal Voter Intimidation Law by doing so.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, think it is time for college students (and their families) to stop complaining about how the extremely intolerant left treats conservative students on campus. Even though they do not feel safe in such hostile environments, it is time to become more proactive. To be successful, however, the conservatives must be inclusive and let non-conservatives also be apart of their groups. If conservative college students need help in trying to figure out where to start, perhaps we at American Ground Radio can help. Contact us at feedback@americangroundradio.com .
After talking about how the US House Democrats and the FBI are behaving as if Republicans are “the Nation’s enemy”, Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone “Dig Deep” into the Game Stop stock manipulation problem and how “ordinary people” fought back against the professional hedge fund market manipulators. For so many, it is interesting or confusing — or both! Stephen explains what really happened.
Jason L. Riley, journalist, author, and commentator, visits on the phone with Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone about Thomas Sowell. Riley has just completed a biography about Thomas Sowell, due out in May. Meanwhile, he narrates a film about Sowell, whom many consider to be “one of the greatest minds of the past half-century”. Stephen highly recommends you watch. https://www.sowellfilm.com/press-kit#Watch-Film
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are not overly surprised the White House has put out 40 Executive Orders in its first week of office; but they are wondering who is really acting as President. Biden’s behavior does not indicate that he is the one making these decisions. And to be able to put out that many Executive Orders before he even has a Cabinet fully operational is curious. This is not looking as much like the Office of the President as perhaps a Dictator in Chief.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr continue to remind their listeners that “words have meaning”. The Democrats have a bad habit of changing the meaning of words (with the help of the media) so as to confuse the American public. The Democrat Party quit being a party believing in the value of liberty (Liberalists). It has evolved into a part of Intolerant Authoritarians and Fascists. Thus, the Freedom of Speech is viewed as dangerous to them and must be eliminated, banned, and/or controlled.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are very upset with intolerant Democrats who are unwilling to be honest about TRUTH. When criminals, who are in the United States illegally, are called “Illegal Alien” (which they are), the media and the extreme left go nuts! They attack conservatives for calling it what it is and speaking the honest truth. WHY? How do we fight back to protect our communities from this dishonest behavior?
John Kay of the Pelican Institute joins Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone on the phone to talk about School Choice and why it is so important.
The headlines about a Knights of Columbus poll on abortion probably would imply the majority Americans are supportive of abortion, but that is not correct. Stephen Parr explains the data behind a recent poll about how Americans feel about abortion. Remember, poll results depend upon the questions asked and how the data is collectively summarized.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about President Biden having issues more Executive Orders in the first few days of his Presidency than all of the other previous 45 Presidents combined. Before the election, Biden was accusing Trump of behaving like a dictator with Executive Orders, but now Biden definitely seems to be behaving like one. But who wrote them? He seems to not know the details about these orders as he reads off the teleprompter. Even worse, several seem to be in direct violation of US Law.
There is a difference between “Guaranteed Equal Opportunities” and “Guaranteed Equal Outcomes”. The Democrats are taking us on a race to the bottom, not a race to excellence. The Declaration of Independence says we all have a Right to Pursue Happiness; but what makes one person happy will not make someone else happy. We all have different abilities in many different areas of skills and talents. Thus, we cannot all have the same outcomes in all matters of life. We cannot be putting EQUALITY above FREEDOM, because we will have neither, as history has shown repeatedly in Communist countries around the world.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, think the State and Federal Governments should have asked Chick-fil-A to oversee the rollout and direction of the COVID vaccine. They are the experts at handling lines! Medical University of South Carolina at Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina had organized a big drive-through COVID vaccination event, but the computers went down and the lines backed up badly. The Mayor of Mt. Pleasant called for help……to the manager of the local Chick-Fil-A. The “pros” showed up, stood out in the rain, and got things going just fine. Wait time dropped from over a hour to about 15 minutes.
The National Bureau on Economic Research looked at all the studies regarding the impact of the Minimum Wage Laws on employment since 1992. They looked at the raw data, and talked to the researchers about what their data meant. The conclusion was 79.3% of the estimated impact of the minimum wage is negative.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Missouri Senator Josh Hawley, following their Law Right to do so, objected to the certification of the Presidential Election Results. So, to get even, the Democrats filed ethics complaints against them both. Senator Hawley is fighting back, and he has now filed ethics complaints against every Democrat Senator who filed a complaint against him. It is highly unethical to be abusing the ethics enforcement system for political reasons, which is what the Democrats did.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr look at the political marketing success of the 2008 Obama Campaign, with its “Hope and Change” and compare it to the Biden Campaign of “I’m Not Trump”. Even through Obama did not keep his marketing promises, he at least had some more positive goals than Biden does. And our American Press is ignoring this reality.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr look at the political marketing success of the 2008 Obama Campaign, with its “Hope and Change” and compare it to the Biden Campaign of “I’m Not Trump”. Even through Obama did not keep his marketing promises, he at least had some more positive goals than Biden does. And our American Press is ignoring this reality.
Considering the accepted election results of 80,000,000 votes for Biden, Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr try to figure out why only 20% of Americans think Biden can bring the people together and unify the Country. The reality is the first thing Biden did as President was to kill 70,000 jobs! He is allowing the unconstitutional impeachment of a former President to go forward, and he is not shutting down talk of “deprogramming” half of the entire Nation. And the Biden Administration is only one week old!
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, believe the idea of trying to “de-program” 74,000,000 Americans to be more than absurd. It actually is dangerous. The American Mamas find this to be the lowest level of stupidity possible coming from those elitist, self-righteous mouths! And not surprisingly, every news outlet is reporting this extremist chatter of how one half of the Nation is “brainwashed”. The media spent four years putting out a false narrative about Donald Trump. Now they are coming after everyone who voted for him.
Amazon clearly is not interested in fairness or consistency. During the 2020 elections, Amazon owner Jeff Bezos was adamant that almost all Americans should be able to vote-by-mail. Now, Amazon is adamantly opposed to its warehouse employees in Bessemer, Alabama being to vote-by-mail on whether or not to unionize. Amazon is demanding the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) require only voting-in-person be permitted!
In September, 2020, then President Donald Trump created the 1776 Commission for the purpose of encouraging “our educators to teach your children about the miracle of American history” and to “make plans to honor the 250th anniversary of our founding” in 2026. As one of his first acts as President, Joe Biden cancelled the 1776 Commission, and removed its report from the White House website. You can still read the report at https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmVzW5NfySnfTk7ucdEoWXshkNUXn3dseBA7ZVrQMBfZey
Donald Trump won in 2016 on a campaign of “Make America Great Again”, and the Democrats are determined to take the Nation back to where we were before Trump. They are convince that will make America “normal” again. Trump had the labor participation rate at a 50-year high, after Obama-Biden had it at an unreasonable low by deliberately killing off jobs, especially in manufacturing and in energy. The same it true for so much the American economy, including personal income, food stamp enrollment, home ownership, and personal wealth. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr wonder if those who voted for Biden really understand what Biden meant by return to his “normal”? Are they going to like it?
It now is quite evident that the need of Troops at the US Capital was not for protection, but as props. When they no longer were needed, they were shoved out of the way and into a totally inappropriate parking garage. Trump authorized the Trump Hotel to give the troops a better place to stay. So who cares more about our Troops?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, believe we all must remain hopeful, be positive, and get very aggressive in cleaning up the political problems at the local, grassroots level. Turn off the noise, speak up, and get involved, even if we have to go back to communicating with each other “the old fashioned ways”. We can do this!
After discussing how Donald Trump made American energy independent for the first time in decades, only to have Biden destroy that in his first week in office, Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone move on to asking who do you trust? The Media? The Government? Big Tech? Universities? Are the leaders of these institutions deliberately trying to mislead people by spreading misinformation?
Fake News Friday
In Biden’s Inaugural Speech, he said he is “all about unification”. Does anyone see how he could actually do it? Essentially half of voting Americans supported Donald Trump. What conciliatory gestures is he offering to bring unity and calm? Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr have ideas; but Biden doesn’t seem to really be interested. Instead, he is willing to let the Senate Democrats continue to engage in a totally unconstitutional “impeachment” of a private citizen, which will definitely not help bring “unity” to the Nation.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, discuss the entertainment at the Inauguration, from Lady Gaga and Garth Brooks to the Poet Laureate.
It is commonly thought — because of the propaganda spread in the media — that “The Rich” are really evil and that they are what the Republican Party stands for. No. It is the Democrat Party which now is controlled by the truly rich people in America. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone explain.
Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) dared to question whether or not several States followed their own election laws in 2020, and the Cancel Culture retaliated by “blacklisting” him. Simon & Schuster even backed out of a deal to publish his upcoming book, "The Tyranny of Big Tech" which is a critical study of Big Tech, including Facebook and Google! While this Cancel Culture has been building strength, in recent weeks, it has really gotten more aggressive. The publishing industry seems to be collectively agreeing to consider refusing to publish books from anyone who worked in the Trump Administration. They are apparently committed to suppressing ideas they personally do not like. The Bright Spot is Regnery Publishing, owned by Salem Media Group, has agreed to publish Sen. Hawley’s book.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the political environment of the Nation on this day of our peaceful transfer of power. It is one thing to disagree on matters of party, but it is not acceptable to be so extreme as we are today. Polarization is harmful. It more likely exists when one rival politician is though of as dishonest, if not outright evil, while the other is considered to be without character flaws. Biden has started his Presidency using Obama’s “Old Playbook”. Doing so may make his base happy, but sadly will not help to reduce the polarization in the Nation.
Yes, Joe Biden is the President of the United States, and as our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, explain, we must always respect the Office of the President. Rooting against the President is the same as rooting against the United States itself. Even though we may not have voted for him and even though we may not respect him, we need to be praying for our current President to do well and to protect the nation of the United States of America.
Stephen Parr’s analysis of Joe Biden’s Inaugural Speech shows some hopeful moments; but there were some rather dark points as well. Essentially, it is not going to be a beginning of American healing because Biden was willing to ignore major crime and violence done in the name of liberalism while calling out such problems done by extremists on the right.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone ponder the past presidents and their rankings in history. As time moves on, their successes and failures as Presidents take on a different understanding and evaluation. So where is Donald Trump likely going to end up on that Presidential ranking in the future?
Louis Avallone says it is a miracle! Donald Trump finally gave the Democrats reason to embrace fencing! Stephen Parr, however, points out that the Democrat fencing is in the wrong place. Trump wanted to protect Americans from really evil people trying to come in from the south for very illegal purposes. The Democrats want to be surrounded by fencing inside the Capitol to protect themselves from the American people. “If representative government is representing The People, it never has any reason to fear The People.”
More Cancel Culture! "My Pillow" products have been dropped by Bed, Bath, and Beyond and by Kohls because of Mike Lindell politics and contacts with Donald Trump. Fortunately you can still easily buy them online!
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, apparently are not in agreement with the newest “racist” attack from the extreme, intolerant left — that of being linguistically racist if you cannot understand someone with a thick accent. And they do have a lot to say about it, too!
Following certain points in history, American lives have changed. Stephen Parr explains how some things are likely to change post-COVID. How we work at our jobs will be different than it was. More people living in blue states will continue to move out and settle in red states, and he cites a NYT article, “They Can’t Leave the Bay Area Fast Enough”, to support this idea. But are the new residents going to continue their voting habits of electing people who institute proven failed governmental policies from where they just left?
Too many of our problems coming from the Environmental Protection Agency have been because they are not following true science where the reporting scientists are required to “show their work”. That no longer can be the case because of a very important, permanent rule change at the EPA.
Two Inspiring Stories: Texas Governor Abbott is most offended that the incoming Biden questioned the loyalty of the members of the Texas Guard, and then the show closes with a very inspirational, feel good story from professional sports.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the Biden Administration’s position (or positions) about how open the US borders will be for just anyone to come in, whether legally or not. So far, not everyone who is said to be in the Biden Administration seems to be in agreement about what is going to happen.
The liberal-communist left are upset that the half of the American population who voted for Trump are now “distracting” from their political agendas. The talking point now seems to be that Trump supporters have been brainwashed. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is reported to have said “There are people who are radicalized right now. It’s going to take a very long time to de-radicalize these people and a lot of effort.” Continuing, “We need to double, triple or quadruple the funding for these [to be Federal] programs” to “reprogram” Trump supporters' beliefs.
Louis Avallone predicts AOC is being “groomed” to become the next Senator from the State of New York.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are quite supportive of Aaron Rodgers for having the courage to speak up and try to make a difference. Aaron Rodgers recently donated $500,000 to the fund established by Bar Stool Sports to help struggling small businesses, including restaurants, and bars, survive the Coronavirus lockdowns, and he encourages others to do so as well. He does not believe depending upon the government to help is reasonable. He said “they don’t even follow their own rules”, referring to politicians who have issued orders which are hurting businesses so badly right now.
FEE.org (Foundation for Economic Education) published an analysis of Biden’s proposed $1.9 Trillion additional stimulus plan to address problems because of the COVID-19 lockdowns. In addition to the now-proven “jobs disappearing” impact of $15 an hour minimum wage, it provides huge incentives for people to not go back to work. Furthermore, it would give “stimulus” money to people who do not need it. But even worse, it does nothing to resolve the root cause of our current economic mess. What it does do it make Americans even more dependent upon the Federal Government, and thus increase government’s hold over us.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone explain why the Gulf War 30 years ago to push Iraq out of Kuwait was so successful. There was no appeasement, which always strengthens the enemy and weakens us. The US and Britain were not alone. There were a of the coalition of 39 Nations, with the US, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom and Egypt providing most of the armed forces. And we attacked with such overwhelming force that we literally ran out of targets.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr look at the economic plan being presented by the incoming Biden Administration, which is being called the “American Rescue Plan”, and wonder if it should be called something else. Louis suggests “The American Economy Is Going to Hell in a Hand Basket Plan”.
Citing a communication from the President of Louisiana Tech, Leslie K. Guice, our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are very concerned that educators and others are not teaching young people how to do a better job of handling tolerance and getting along together. Providing “safe spaces” so they won't have to have any contact with Conservatives is a failure to teach them how to cope with the natural events that will happen throughout their lives. It has the potential to be very dangerous.
There is a worldwide attack on Christianity. “Open Door USA” tracks the places on Earth that are the most dangerous for Christians, meaning it is extremely dangerous to follow Jesus. North Korea is #1.
Fake News Friday
The extreme socialist Democrats, including the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, the corrupt Media, members of Big Tech, and executives of Big Business, will continue to totally harass Donald Trump and his family even more aggressively than they have done since he first announced for President. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr illustrate how they cannot even be honest and tolerant about President Trump making a reasonable speech intended to help unite the Nation.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, discuss the problem of trusting politicians who give voters the impressions needed to win elections, only to turn around and do what the voters do not want them to do afterwards. They liken it to having an unfaithful spouse or significant other. Instead, stay true to your own personal beliefs.
Throughout 2020, Republicans have been consistent in saying violence as a form of protest is not acceptable. In contrast, Democrats and their political friends supported violence throughout the Nation last year claiming the violence was justified. Now within the first weeks of 2021, the Democrats believe violence is so intolerable that the President needs to be impeached within days of stepping down from office. And they are not interested in holding hearings or having a balanced debate first.
The theme of the Biden inauguration is “America United”. Do the Democrats really want to unite the country or is this something else? The last time Americans were actually united was following the attacks on 9-11, between 2001 and 2003. The time previous to that was probably the landslide election of Ronald Reagan, where he won 49 states. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone wonder if the Democrats will follow Reagan’s example.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr analyze the second Impeachment actions taken by the House of Representatives. Ten Republicans voted to for impeachment, even though there were no hearings with evidence being presented “under oath”. The “charges” are all based upon hearsay, media declarations, and rumors. The Constitution does not provide for Impeachment when an elected official is no longer in office. This is about revenge and hate.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, want all of the politicians and all of the news outlets to admit that all the rioting and burning this summer is indeed as bad as rioting at the US Capitol Building. They are speaking out about this kind of political double-standard today. It does not matter who did it. If it is wrong, then it is wrong.
The Congressional Democrats were threatening to impeach Donald Trump even before he took office (fact). And now they are trying to remove him from office after he has left office (fact). Stephen Parr explains why trying to remove a FORMER PRESIDENT from office is unconstitutional. He explains both the 25th Amendment (after the Kennedy Assassination) and the provisions of the US Constitution regarding impeachment. He further explains why Congress cannot remove a Former President from Office. Everything Pelosi and the House Democrats are doing is not in keeping with the terms of the US Constitution and related Amendments.
The Texas Democrat Party sued Gov. Abbott, claiming there is a universal right to vote by mail. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals said while there is a right to vote, voting by mail is not a right, even in a pandemic. The US Supreme Court decided the 5th Circuit was correct. The matter is now settled. So…..that being true, then how can the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court ruling which changed the state law regarding voting by mail be constitutional? The US Supreme Court should have heard the Texas vs Pennsylvania case on this matter and eliminated any future confusion.
Democrats on the House Floor, including Rep. James McGovern (D-Mass), are demanding Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) say “The election was not stolen”. It is just 5 words, and they are demanding he say them into the US House Record. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the known facts that there were wide spread election irregularities in a number of states, which definitely gives justification to Rep. Jordan refusing to say it.
Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, tell us about Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) going onto the US House Floor to vote while being sick with COVID, endangering all of her fellow House Members as well as others who work inside the US Capitol Building. She did it because Pelosi needed her vote.
The Heritage Foundation has created an interactive map of the United States showing all the politicians who violated their own COVID Restriction Orders in 2020. Several politicians are on this list twice, including Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Mayor Bill de Blasio, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi; but the biggest offender is Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York! It appears the “elite” think they are both smarter and better than the American people in general.

Over 100 years ago, the United States had a problem of Big Business engaging in business activities that were deliberately damaging their smaller business and industrial competition. As a result, Congress passed a series of Federal Anti-Trust Laws, which have been further defined by court cases ever since. Well, Big Tech is currently doing much the same to their smaller competitors, and both Parler and Rumble are fighting back in the courts.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the importance of paying attention to the definition of words (as stated in established dictionaries), the importance of how things are said (meaning the context and tone in which they are said), and what possible political motivations could be behind what is actually being said (such as desires for personal wealth at the expense of the American People or quests for absolute power over The American People).
Cumulus Media, which owns 416 radio stations and is headquartered an Atlanta, GA, hosts many well-known conservative talk show personalities, including Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, and Dan Bongino. It has sent out a memo to all of its talk show hosts essentially warning them to “tone down” discussions about the election. The memo was clear that not complying with Cumulus Media’s demands could result in their shows being dropped from their radio broadcast platforms. What if other businesses do something similar to Conservatives?
Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur, talks about how people have become so intolerant of anyone who disagrees with them, to the point it is affecting friendships and families. The media has been feeding this deception of truth until viewers and listeners have reached a “boiling over” point.
It took just 48 hours for Amazon, Google, and Apple to destroy one of its growing competitors, Parler. The problem is not that these are considered “private companies” (even though they are bought and sold on the public stock market). The problem is they were using monopolistic power to destroy competition. Furthermore, the “justifications” given by Amazon, Google, and Apple for banning Parler are happening and being ignored for Twitter.
This is corporate totalitarianism, which is the reason Federal Anti-Trust Laws were passed (the Sherman Act in 1890, and Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC), and the Clayton Act in 1914).
On January 11, 1989, President Ronald Reagan gave his Farewell Address to the Nation just before leaving office. In that speech, he talked about how our Nation did not seem to be doing a good enough job of teaching American History, American Values, and American Pride to our students of the day. As we now know since those children are now our voting adults, he was correct. We still need to be doing a better job of teaching concepts so critical to our Nation going forward today.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the very disconcerting problem of social media deciding what is allowed as individual speech and as individual thought in the United States public arena today. There was a time when Americans could say and think what they wanted and what they believed. If you disagreed, you would likely to get a response of “It is a free country”. Today, most public communications to and for the American public are proving to be controlled by a small number of very big, very rich, and very powerful people who are essentially banning “free speech” and “individual thought”.
The heart of our problem is there are two Americas today, and the side containing America’s hardworking citizens is tired of being snubbed by the “woke” elites and by our elected leaders of both parties.
Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur and Teri Netterville, describe the interactions on air at “The View” and the public friction among the panel members.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explore a number of facets of what the future of the Republican Party. Are too many of the officials and other leaders within the Party too comfortable in their positions? Are they not really strong, committed leaders at heart? Are they more interested in what is good for themselves in the long run, rather than willing to make the hard choices that might put their official and powerful positions at risk? Are they essentially Republicans In Name Only (RINOs)? History (Ross Perot) has shown a 3rd Party, splitting up the Republican Party, only guarantees the Democrats will win. So, what are our options?
The Biden/Harris Administration is planning to increase US Federal spending by an additional $5.4 trillion this year. This is going to make the rich even richer, the poor even poorer, and the middle class is a terrible and downward economic bind.
Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur and Teri Netterville, talk about this ongoing Socialist attack on our American Culture and American Heritage. This intolerant “woke” culture being forced upon Americans is harmful and needs to be resisted by just continuing to be who we really are in our values and our hearts.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr visit with Louisiana Secretary of State, Kyle Ardoin, about voter integrity.
There appears to be only one Democrat left in Congress who could actually save the Republic, the Rule of Law, and the Constitution of the United States. That person is Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia. The question is will he have the courage to do it?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss events in the Capitol today.
Our American Mama, Denise Arthur, does a lot of “digging” for more information, very much like what good investigative reporters are supposed to do. She chased down the identities of two of those in the forefront of the storming of the Capitol Building this afternoon. They are no longer anonymous, and a good reason to believe they are not Trump supporters.
LA Representative Mike Johnson visits on the phone with Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr about the events involving the chaos inside the Capitol Building today.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the State Election Certifications in states that are known to to the public to have not been honest and fair. Stephen explains this is a hole in the Constitution, and there is no way to resolve it at this time.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, were so honored to be included in the “Stand for the Church for America” Celebration in Bossier. The energy in the crowd was electric. They believe they now have an urgent calling to speak up and to say what they think and believe.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the joint session of Congress for the purpose of counting the Electoral Votes. To add to the confusion are a variety of Constitutional issues which have not been heard by the US Supreme Court, and the majority of the Supreme Court Justices are refusing to settle any of these Constitutional issues. The known, documented voter fraud on this massive scale is one Constitutional Crisis. Another appears to be that the Supreme Court is leaving everything in a very confusing state.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, share some of the absurdities of what the liberal, intolerant “Word Nazi Police” are pushing now! This has now long past any common sense of “political correctness”.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr listened to the entire call between President Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and they are reporting that the Press is being very dishonest about what was said in that call.
The CDC is reporting almost no cases of flu this year, especially compared to years past. Why would that be? Have we cured the flu, or is it something else?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how “stinkin’ thinking” and “stinkin’ behavior” impacts us. The words we use are powerful. So, why are the Democrats saying our future days, starting on January 1, 2021, are going to be ‘DARK’? Considering the impact of President Trump’s positive words throughout his administration, the negative words the Democrats are bringing in are very worrisome.
Best Wishes for a Good New Year. Our staff has taken the day off for New Years' Day. The remaining show is comprised of our "Best Of" segments from relatively recent weeks.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr look at the hypocrisy of the Democrat Party and its leaders. Destroying what is good about America seems to be their sole purpose these days. As an illustration, Biden has promised to completely undo President Trump’s tax cuts, and thus putting huge tax burdens on the middle class. They are completely ignoring the data showing Trump’s tax cuts caused America’s economy to become the greatest in history — that is, until Democrat Governors and Democrat Mayors shut down business in 2020 “to save Americans”.
Best Wishes for a Good New Year. Our staff has taken the day off for New Years' Eve. The remaining show is comprised of our "Best Of" segments from relatively recent weeks.
1.) You cannot “fact check” an opinion! 2.) Don’t leave out words, such as “some” experts say…. You cannot imply ALL EXPERTS when you only are referring to a small number of “experts”. 3.) Remember “experts” are human beings who also can have differing opinions! And 4.) when TRUTH PROVES “FACT CHECKERS” WRONG, do not allow them to go back and rewrite their words! Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr illustrate why it is so important for Americans to really engage their own thinking brains and not just believe words which are really just liberal press propaganda.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, will be participating in the celebration “Stand for the Church for America” on Monday, January 4, 2021 at Freedom Fields in Bossier City, LA from 6:00 to 7:30pm. The focus will be the critical importance of our Freedom of Religion, including being able to worship and to believe as we want.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the upcoming joint session of Congress to receive the votes from the Electoral College, including what is potentially planned by various Congressional Members and how this fits into the context of US History.
When Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was recently asked if he was going to take the COVID vaccine, he explained he was going to wait his turn in line because of his relatively young age, adding “I'm an elected official, but whoop dee doo”. How refreshing to have a high profile politician not act as if he or she is “better” than the American People.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr look at the future potential and internal conflicts within the Republican Party today. Which segment of that party is going to be in control going forward? Will it be the RINOs, who are primarily “old guard” elected politicians or will it be Conservative Americans who believe Donald Trump is the best hope for preserving the Republic known as The United States of America?
Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, gives thought to what 2021 will bring to us. 2020 gave us clarity we have not had, and hopefully, 2021 will allow us to draw on our American Spirit to address our problems coming up.
The media will not be covering Joe Biden with as much scrutiny as they have been Donald Trump. They will not be as critical. They will not be as combative. They will not be “fact checking”. They will not be pointing out when he is wrong. And they think that is good for America. NO. The only way America can be a strong, free nation is for the press to do its job honestly, fairly, and correctly. So do stay tuned to American Ground Radio. We will be doing our best to bring you solid, factual information every night.
Fred Rogers used to say that whenever there is tragedy, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” The Nashville Police Department recognized six of their officers for going door-to-door to evacuate downtown residents before the RV blew up on Christmas morning. Officer James Wells explains “It might not be politically correct, but I literally hear God tell me to go turn around and go check on Topping.” This probably saved his life. How many of you actually stop and listen when God is talking to you?
Louis Avallone explains to Stephen Parr that the US Census Bureau tracks surnames in the USA, and reports we have only 1,200 surnames throughout the country which belong to less than 100 people total. BUT in Pennsylvania, a mathematician has discovered the Pennsylvania voter rolls have 521,819 totally unique names….names which belong to only one person, meaning no parents, siblings, or offspring!
The Mayor of New Orleans has no clue about how economies work. The Government cannot guarantee its population a minimum income of $500 a month. That is not how it works.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are very excited about the Louisiana High School State 5A Championship Game! Turns out in Louisiana, you won’t get COVID playing contact football; but if a band were to march on that very same field during half-time, the band members apparently could get COVID! Folks, we have lost our ever-lovin’ minds!
Americans are being told masks work, but we now have research which shows otherwise. Stephen Parr shares research information from RationalGround.com showing data about the effectiveness of mandating masks. The new COVID-19 infection rate should drop substantially two to three weeks after mask mandates go into effect. Instead, in the ten largest counties in America has their infection rates go up after the mask mandates went into effect.
Senator Marc Rubio believes those in the “elite bubbles” (including politicians) believe the American people are not smart enough to know what is good for them and it is the politicians’ job to force that “good” onto the American people. Mask mandate data does not support the correctness of these mask mandates.
The California Supreme Court ruled that prosecution can go forward against a mother of a stillborn baby whose blood showed heavy drug use. This ruling means the California Supreme Court is acknowledging that unborn fetuses have Rights, including the Right to Life, which are to be protected. So now, where is the line for mothers doing harm to their unborn babies?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the motivations of the Democrats in not passing or or finally passing a “stimulus” bill giving Americans only $600, and yet giving billions to foreign countries that are not necessarily good friends with us for some very strange purposes.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss a comment made by Barack Obama talking about being someone behind the scenes.
Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are quite impressed with 12-year old Zechariah Cartledge of Winter Springs, Florida, who has been running a mile for every one of our fallen police officers while carrying the “thin blue line” American flag. He then sends the flag to the family of the fallen officer. But Instagram, in all of its intolerant, liberal behaviors towards our law enforcement personnel, took down Zechariah’s Instagram Page where he had been recording each of his tributes.
Justice Antonin Scalia did an interview in October, 2010 at the University of California, Hastings College of Law. He explains what Justices are supposed to do in controversial situations like conflict over election results. Unfortunately, doing what is correct is not necessarily what is happening today.
In memory of Firefighter Stephen Gerard Siller, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation raises money to pay mortgages for Gold Star families, families of fallen first responders, and catastrophically-injured veterans by holding 5K races across the country each year. Unfortunately, our society doesn’t have enough people who respect and honor such sacrifices.
Apparently, not even cyber security companies are able to be certain their own software is secure, and we now know a number of critical Federal Government computer systems have been compromised. The Departments of Treasury and of Commerce, are reported to have been penetrated by a months’ long cyber attack, perhaps by the Russians. The Dept of Justice, NASA, the Pentagon, and the State Department also may have been compromised, as well as critical public companies, such as Defense Contractors.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain that SolorWinds, the cyber security company responsible for the software to protect US computers, actually had malware somehow implanted into their security software, which then got uploaded into their clients’ computers with a software update. This seems to have been going on for about 9 months.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr continue discussing the critical problem of computer security, including the Dominion election voting machines, which we now know, in at least some locations, were used to alter election outcomes. Dominion Voting Systems, founded in 2003, is now threatening attorney Sidney Powell for having “damaged” their company’s reputation. But what if what Sidney Powell is saying is true?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, want things to return to normal, especially this holiday season. Because of the coronavirus restrictions imposed by politicians, shopping cannot be normal. Interacting with others is not able to be normal. Even holiday decorating is not our usual normal. We need to work on it, however, if we ever want to have a true “normal” again.
The Press has a long history of choosing to ignore witnesses who are providing testimony they don’t want to think is true. And as with Bill Clinton’s numerous affairs, unless there is tangible proof that cannot be ignores, the Press will never believe witnesses. That is our problem right now with the mounting evidence and testimony being uncovered, state by state. So far, the Press has not been shown the equivalent of a “little blue dress” with DNA on it.
Fake News Friday
The big news of the day apparently is well known attorney Lin Wood is claiming on Twitter that Supreme Court Justices John Roberts and Stephen Breyer had a telephone conversation on Sept. 19th discussing the then upcoming election. The claim is Justice Roberts told Justice Breyer that he would make certain Donald Trump would never be re-elected.
While still unverified by Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr, it is starting to look like Chief Justice Roberts and some of his fellow Supreme Court Justices do not want to enforce the Rule of Law according to the US Constitution’s exact words. Louis sites a rumored report where Justice Roberts is unwilling to hear cases related to the election and Justice Thomas replied “This is the end of Democracy, John.”
A high school football player in Corpus Christi, TX, charged back onto the field and assaulted a referee after being ejected from the game. The referee suffered a shoulder injury and probably a concussion from the attack. The player was arrested, booked, and charged with assault. The player also has a similar history as a soccer player. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are appalled that a high school athlete would behave so badly; but they do not believe punishing the entire team is appropriate. Even though the team qualified for the Texas UIL football playoffs, they will not be allowed to participate.
Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry visits on the telephone with Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr about the positions of the Supreme Court, especially with Justice Robert, and about the current law suit between the Louisiana Governor and the Louisiana Legislators regarding Governor Edwards probably overstepping his legal limits regarding the State shutdowns.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone explain the true meaning of the Second Sentence of the Declaration of Independence, especially the part about government having its powers from the consent the governed. Some communities are “taking back” their rights and liberties by deciding to let all of their businesses stay completely open. What about yours?
Maria Sara Bartiromo, a FOX Business Network anchor, has reported an Intel source said Trump did actually win the election and the Supreme Court needs to hold hearings. While Stephen Parr is cautious about anonymous sources, Louis Avallone believes just the information now public about the problems of the voting machines being online and able to be infiltrated by outside sources gives Bartiromo’s report enough reason to be investigated.
CBS News Senior Correspondent Catherine Herridge is reporting that John Ratcliffe, Director of National Intelligence (DNI), is saying that China, Iran, and Russia all interfered in the US Elections in November. A report is supposed to be made public in January.
Debra Messing expressed her hatred towards President Trump in recent Tweets, wanting him to spend a long time in prison being raped. Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are appalled and what to know what is wrong with her? Even the LGBTQ community was unhappy with her remarks, only because it reflected poorly on them and not because she was hoping for severe violence be aimed at President Trump.
Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) said all the pending cases related to the election need to be heard before a final decision about the next President is decided. To not do so will make about half the country’s voters feel even more disenfranchised than they do already. This would not be good for the country.
In December 2003, Barack Obama decided to separate out African American History from everything else at the Smithsonian, and ended up creating a building which is architecturally not consistent with the otter stately Smithsonian Buildings on the Washington Mall. Many think it is really tacky, if not worse. (You should see it in person to truly understand why.) Furthermore, separating out our American History by race is not helping unity the Nation. Instead, it only is further dividing it.
Fortunately, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) was able to stop a proposed National Museum of the American Latino Museum which was being pushed by Sen. Sen. Bob Menendez, (D-NJ). Lee explained, “The last thing we need is to further divide an already divided nation within an array of separate but equal museums for hyphenated identity groups.” He further explained that “we need our federal government and the Smithsonian Institution itself to pull us closer together and not further apart.”
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr debate the significance and meaning of what Senator McConnell said on the floor of the Senate congratulating Biden and Harris, the current status of the election, and the likelihood of either court cases or Secretaries of State changing the current apparent outcome.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, discuss the probability of Biden becoming our next President and their reactions to that.
Remember how we were told we needed to give the medical profession time to prepare for the China Coronavirus “explosion” of cases? 15 days to 3 weeks, was what we were told. Now some 200+ days later, we are being told that even with the vaccine, we must stay “in place” and not get on about our lives.
The current 116th Congress has passed 216 total laws in the past two years, which is actually only about 1% of all the bills introduced into this Congress. Is quantity important or is it quality of the bills which end up being passed? What this Congress focused upon was trying to destroy the Trump Administration.
Capitol Hill Lutheran Church, in Des Moines, Iowa, found a way to pay off all of the medical debt of all Iowans across the state. They saw this a part of their Church Mission in this pandemic year of 2020. Stephen Parr explains how they were able to do this through an organization called RIP Medical Debt.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the situation of both the Democrat and the Republican Parties from the contested states having slates of Electoral College Electors submitting their votes for President and Vice President. In each of these states, there currently are ongoing lawsuits over the outcome of the election. When Congress meets on Jan. 6, 2021, these dueling electors will be present, and depending upon the outcome of the lawsuits for each state, the correct electors will be casting their votes. There actually is precedence for this situation going back to 1877 when Rutherford Hayes became President.
Louis Avallone explains the process of the actual voting for President in the Congress on January 6, 2021, with a number of states having Dueling Electors. Stephen Parr explains that in order for Donald Trump to success, there are a number of difficult hurdles to get over in this process.
New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell is demanding "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" prevent Lauren Daigle from participating in their New Year’s Eve program because she performed at a November “Let Us Worship” rally in the New Orleans French Quarter. Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, point out the inconsistency between the Mayor’s support of a swingers convention in New Orleans in November where 41 developed COVID and her opposition to a similar protest assembly demanding the right to worship in which Lauren Daigle did perform.
After talking about the newly released information about the error rate of counting absentee ballots in Michigan, Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone move on to “Digging Deep” about the Hunter Biden laptop, documenting a number of alleged crimes, from tax crimes, international influence peddling, and perhaps even sex crimes involving a minor. There even is evidence of Joe Biden having engaged in illegal activity as well. AND THE MEDIA KNEW IT.
Many black pastors have collectively sent Georgia Democratic Senate candidate Rev. Raphael Warnock a letter quite upset about his very pro-abortion position, in spite of the damage abortions have done to the overall American Black population. Warnock currently is the pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, which was Martin Luther King’s church. He is in a runoff against Georgia Senator Kelly Lynn Loeffler.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr report the Supreme Court’s rejection of the Texas case is not the end of legal options regarding the Presidential Election. Apparently, the majority of Justices are of the opinion that Texas has not been harmed by how other states operated their dishonest elections. The decision to not allow the Texas case to go forward means Texas and the other states which believe they have been harmed have no other place to take their grievances to. Fortunately, there is another case still pending before the Supreme Court, as Louis explains.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the lack of actions by the Supreme Court so far on a number of legal disputes regarding the Presidential Election. The question is whether or not doing what is right is too hard to do.
Can you imagine someone being so rude as to come into your house and announce your Christmas decorations are tacky? It really did happen, and our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, have some suggestions on how to handle such a person!
Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) has introduced a bill which would ban biological men from participating in women’s sports. The problem is the Title IX protections for female athletes has been destroyed by letting transgenders compete against them. But this is going nowhere because Gabbard did not run for re-election to the US House.
Fake New Friday!
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how each day seems to bring out more reason to believe there is an orchestrated coup taking place through massive voter fraud. But no one seems interested in dealing with it. And for some reason, every court so far has only been willing to rule in Biden’s favor.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain the inclusiveness of the Republican Party, how the RINOs are hurting both the Party and the Nation, and how apathy will be the destruction of our Republic.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, wonder just how much that “store” Santa knows about nerf guns! Did he think they were the same thing as BB guns? What should a parent or a bystander do in such a situation where Santa tells a small child “NO, I won’t bring that to you”?
The “Federalist” has a very good analysis of the 6 things you need to know about the law suit Texas filed in the US Supreme Court against the States of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss these.
NASA has announced the next group of astronauts who will be training and preparing for their trips to the moon. Stephen Parr explains the current plans for these new space efforts.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about several members of the Shreveport City Council who are blaming Chief Ben Raymond for increased crime in Shreveport this year. It is easy to blame the police. But instead, maybe the Members of the City Council should look to the consequences of all the lockdowns and business shuttings as a factor. It has forced serious economic hardship on too many, in addition to now well established mental health issues.
Over 20 Police Chiefs from around the Nation have resigned this year. A number of them were women and ethnic minority individuals who were being blamed for being racist or running racist police departments. Louis Avallone says it is too easy to use Police Chiefs as an excuse for poor leadership from Mayors and City Councils, who are extreme Democrat politicians. Stephen Parr explains what those people are really doing is defunding the police, making it impossible for local law enforcement to do their jobs.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are highly perplexed over the Ohio rules for high school wrestling, where those sweaty bodies are all over each other during competition, but at the end of it, the athletes are not allowed to shake hands and must put their masks back on.
Almost all of the States and the Federal Government have filed a Federal Antitrust Law Suit against Facebook. Specifically, Facebook has been buying out rivals to eliminate competition and to give them an effective monopoly in their digital industry. This then enabled Facebook to control the online social media ad market. The Federal Government (through the FTC) also previously sued Google for the same monopolistic problems.
The only group of Americans whose mental health improved this year, according to Gallup, was the one where people attended Church at least once a week…as in The Church with a congregation.
Louis Avallone explains the National headlines are misleading about the ruling from the Supreme Court regarding on of the pending Pennsylvania cases. It was not a ruling on the case itself. It just was that the Court denied “injunctive relief”. Louis explains that “injunctive relief” must be applied only when there is no way to later undo what would otherwise be done — as in an execution.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr go over a number of lies which have been reported about the Georgia election counting. There was no water main break. Republicans really were run out of the counting area. And YES, the voting machines did connect to the internet!
The Attorney General of the State of Michigan said her son was devastated that someone said Merry Christmas to him. Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, do not believe saying “Merry Christmas” is a bad thing. In fact, they wonder how a child could become devastated by someone saying “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Hanukkah”.
An article in American Greatness” indicates we do not have good science justifying the closing of America’s restaurants to control the spread of COVID. The article says closing restaurants, especially those serving outdoors, is ridiculous. “They are cruel, unconstitutional, and devastating to the hospitality sector, the nation’s second-largest private employer.” Furthermore, it is destroying a huge segment of American business permanently, with the loss of 110,000 restaurants so far. A study out of Switzerland shows the coronavirus is more likely spread within families, not restaurants.
Elon Musk has personally moved to Texas. He still has manufacturing in California, but he has had enough of California’s unconstitutional treatment of California residents. He regards the “shelter in place” orders as “forcibly imprisoning people in their homes against all their constitutional rights”. He also will save a lot of money because Texas does not have a State income tax.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the confusion of Pennsylvania election laws which are now moved to and pending at the US Supreme Court.
Democrat Mayors shut down businesses, putting people out of work, including in Shreveport. Now Shreveport is giving bonuses to their still employed bureaucrat government workers. Who is going to have to pay these bonuses? The same residents the Democrat Mayors put out of work!
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are quite upset over the unfairness of a film crew being able to eat outside next to a restaurant that the Mayor of Los Angeles ordered shut because of COVID. Angela Marsden, owner of the Pineapple Hill Saloon and Grill, spent about $80,000 to make her restaurant COVID compliant, but the LA Mayor shut down all restaurants. She then discovered a film crew in the parking lot next door eating. This whole situation has gone way too far. The suicide rate in California is terrible because of the very strict, ongoing lockdowns and shutdowns.
Musa al-Gharbi, a professor of Sociology at Columbia University has written an article explaining that Diversity Training actually does not work. In fact, it could do more harm than good. In fact, it actually can cause even greater resentment to a particular group of people. Rather than stressing differences among people, he writes “encouraging people to ignore racial and cultural differences often results in diminished cooperation across racial lines.”
Robert Unanue, CEO of Goya Foods, has designated Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as Goya’s "employee of the month”! AOC tried to start a boycott of Goya Foods; but Conservatives did what they always do in the face of liberal boycotts — they went to the store and bought! That caused Goya’s sales to go up 1000%! Bottom line is Conservatives really do not like the Liberals’ “Cancel Culture”.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr try to understand what Joe Biden meant when he told CNN’s Jake Tapper that he, Biden, would develop disease and resign if he and Kamala Harris have some sort of fundamental disagreement. And in Georgia, more than 23,000 mail in ballots were located that were nearly all marked for Biden. Are these those “nearly perfect, brand new paper ballots” that did not look like they went through the mail that were nearly 98% for Biden?
Not well reported in the Nation’s news, Supreme Court Associate Justice Samuel Alito agreed to have the Supreme Court here a second election case out of Pennsylvania, this one over whether or not their mail-in voting was unconstitutional. At issue is whether or not the Pennsylvania Constitution had to be amended in order to make this change. Alito set the date for the Pennsylvania to respond as set a deadline for the State of Pennsylvania to respond as being December 9th, which is the day after Pennsylvania is to pick their “electors”. Why?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about the double standard in what is tolerated and not tolerated depending upon whether it is being said by a Conservative or a Liberal. They site a number of examples.
The Democrats have long believed that they can control states with a heavy percentage of Black and Hispanic voters. In spite of all the mess this year, election results do not support that racist, Democrat mantra. Religion has a big impact on voting preferences. Only two groups, Catholics and non-believers, have moved closer towards the Democrats. Every other religious group moved towards the more conservative values of the Republicans.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr share information about a security video showing the emptying of the Atlanta vote counting center, and afterwards, 4 people remain and continue to count ballots for that were previously hidden. The counting continued for several hours and was clearly being done in violation of the Georgia Election Laws.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about whether or not Republicans Georgians should vote in these two Senate special elections. YES! They should. And YES! Georgian Republican Leaders need to start leading the fight.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about Candace Owens’ responses to liberals rude comments. There is a distinct difference between liberals thinking cruel humor aimed at conservatives is appropriate and having it reversed onto them. And yes, women like being with men who are emotionally strong.
Meteorologist Stephen Parr explains the science behind this just past hurricane season with its record setting Atlantic/Gulf Coast named storms. He further explains we cannot look at any hurricane season in terms of just one ocean body, but rather have to consider all the oceans as a whole. So no, this was not a terrible hurricane season and is not an indication of any “global warming”. That is because the other ocean bodies were relatively quiet.
The 4th Circuit Federal Appeals Court has just ruled the North Carolina voter ID law is indeed constitutional! The Democrats have been fighting voter ID laws for years, claiming it is discriminatory against minorities. Really? Don’t minorities drive cars, go to the doctor, fly on planes, or drink beer? It has been part of the North Carolina State Constitution since 2016. But it was not allowed to be in effect for the 2020 election because of Democrat court fights.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss how President Trump gave a 45-minute speech today, and the news media ignored it. This 2020 disputed election, with evidence of preplanned fraud continuing to come out in volumes indicating that hundreds of thousands of votes are probably fraudulent, may well be one of the biggest crises in our Nation’s entire history. Votes were cast by dead people, by people who did not legally live in that state, by people literally stealing another person’s vote before that person voted, by people creating totally fake ballots, and by people slipping in fake USB drives full of fake votes. If enough of this is found to be true, then Biden becoming President is not in keeping with the will of the voters.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr regret the passing of Walter Williams, a well respected black conservative, as well as a successful syndicated columnist and author. He wrote and spoke extensively over the decades about many dangerous liberal threats to our American wellbeing, including liberal economics, the cause of the black family’s destruction, socialist-Marxist ideas, gun control, racism (by race hustlers), and teachers unions. In his lifetime, he wrote eleven books on related economic subjects. His last article was “Black Education Tragedy Is New”, was just published.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, share their fun experiences as guest speakers at the Women’s Republican Club of Bossier, LA. If you would like to have them come speak at your group, you can contact them through American Ground Radio or through their American Mamas Facebook page.
After a brief discussion about how critical the Georgia Senate Elections are in protecting the Supreme Court, Stephen Parr "Digs Deep" into the problems of “Defund the Police”. This is exactly what the Democrats want to do, and they plan to do it! The less police presence in a community the greater the crime rates will likely become, especially in communities where people are not as able protect themselves. This has been supported by a study of the Dallas, TX crime patterns.
After talking about how “want-to-be” American Democrat dictators are behaving as if their own “stay home” edicts do not apply to themselves, Stephen Parr explains that Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has once again ordered the indoor shut down of restaurants and bars for another three weeks. Restaurant owner Mitch Spangler said he would not be in business any more if he did. He said he must stay open as a matter of survival for his family and his employees.
Louis Avallone explains the volume of information about the corruption of the Presidential election is so huge, involves so many different people at so many different levels of the election process, and impacts the outcomes of so many different states. People have been signing affidavits (sworn to be true under penalty of law) and are now talking to the FBI about what they know and saw. Stephen Parr explains while this huge volume of information is becoming known, for some unexplainable reason, the Democrats are absolutely silent about this same information, as if ignoring it will make it just disappear.
According to testimony, a truck driver drove a full truck load of already completed absentee ballots from New York to Pennsylvania prior to Nov. 3. It is reasonable for a few people to be in New York voting absentee in Pennsylvania, but hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanian residents and all their ballots end up on the same truck? Is anyone asking the Democrats to explain that? Another USPS worker also testified that they were ordered to backdate absentee ballots that were received after the deadline. Not only is that illegal for election law, it is also mail fraud.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about how there are so many reasons families may be deciding to do Christmas celebrations differently this year.
Stephen Parr shares information about how we handled the Coronavirus and the way the data has been evaluated and reported. Bottom line is we quarantined the healthy, destroyed our economy and our schools, and did not save the sick. In a New Jersey study of COVID deaths showed about half of the hospitalized patients died. What is never reported related to these deaths is that 89% of them already had DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) instructions before they got COVID. That is because they already had a terminal medical condition.
Van Morrison, an Irish musician who first started performing in the 1960s (“Brown Eyed Girl”), is releasing new songs which are anti-lockdown, protest songs. The income from these songs will go to aid musicians who have not been able to perform and make a living because of the shutdowns. The current releases are "Born to Be Free," "As I Walked Out”, and "No More Lockdowns”. Eric Clapton is joining Morrison with “Stand And Deliver”, due out this month. Both Clapton and Morrison are members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how the results of the Nov 3 Presidential Election are still in question. Our Presidential Election Process, as stipulated in the Constitution and including the 12th Amendment, is actually a detailed, complicated process. The National Media is not reporting facts and truths. It is no wonder so many Americans are confused.
Substantial violations of those requirements have been uncovered in quite a number of States and now are being investigated by State Legislatures and Courts, both State and Federal. Because Louis is an attorney and Stephen is an investigative reporter, they are spending an enormous amount of time every day reading the details of what is happening in so many locations in an effort to keep you better informed.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explained the information being provided by witnesses in Arizona. The Democrats are proving by their behavior they are not interested in participating in being certain all legal votes are counted and all illegal votes are not. But there definitely is some improbable statistical data being discovered by experts. “The only way Joe Biden could have statistically caught up with Donald Trump in the vote count in Arizona would be if Democrat votes came in at positive 130% for Biden and a NEGATIVE 30% for Trump.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, say the new media does not even try any more to present honest, factual reports. They are claiming the proposed Biden Communications Team is going to be the first all female led in American History. SO WRONG! How could they miss the fact that President Trump’s entire communications team is already all female led?
“The Trump admin’s comms team is entirely female-led,” tweeted White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews, listing Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, Communications Directer Alyssa Farah, Vice Presidential Communications Director Katie Miller, the First Lady’s spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham, and the Second Lady’s spokeswoman Kara Brooks.”
There are so many examples of illegal voting in the Nov. 3 Presidential Election. In this segment of American Ground Radio, Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone go through an analysis done by Matt Braynard of the Voter Integrity Project where he had discovered voters who submitted change of address in another state illegally voted in their former states. These were done by absentee ballots. The States of Georgia, Arizona, and Wisconsin had more of these illegal votes than Biden has as a lead. The FBI has now asked for this data, and the Voter Integrity Project will be turning it all over.
John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods, explains that Socialism if “trickle up poverty”. It has been tried 42 times in the last 100 years, and resulted in 42 failures! The only solution to economic prosperity is Capitalism. You have to have profits to keep businesses going, and with enough profitable businesses, ecumenic prosperity really will “trickle down” to the masses…..at least those who are willing to work.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the impact all the government COVID restrictions are having on small businesses, especially on big shopping days like the day after Thanksgiving, referred to as Black Friday.
Because today is the day after Thanksgiving and a holiday for us, the remainder of the show are repeats of our "Best Ofs".
Happy Thanksgiving to all! Louis Avallone explains that the cost of turkeys is down a little this year because grocery stores have been using turkeys as a loss leader to bring shoppers physically into the stores. And Stephen Parr admits he did not follow the bizarre CDC guidelines recommending he take his own plates, cups, and flatware to a friend’s house for Thanksgiving Dinner. He also did not try to eat his turkey with two masks on at the same time!
Because today is Thanksgiving, the remainder of the show are repeats of our "Best Ofs".
Louis Avallone is wondering why this coronavirus pandemic has suddenly made the government more qualified to know how to care for his family than he does and, therefore, is more justified in telling him how he should do things. Stephen Parr points out that what disqualifies government’s opinion on the subject is that they have done almost nothing correctly so far in handling this pandemic mess. And the arrogance of the people in power is so extreme that a number of Illinois city mayors decided to make a joint video to “teach” people how to tell their family members they could not be with them this Thanksgiving.
In documents filed in a Georgia Court as part of the Amistad Project (Thomas More Society) it is alleged that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave $6.3 million to Fulton County and lesser amounts to other Georgia counties through the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL). If so, this would be completely illegal as Georgia law is clear that only the Georgia Secretary of State can receive any money related to financing elections which are not taxpayer funds. Fulton, Cobb, and Gwinnett County had very strange things happen during the vote counting after midnight following the election.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, have found 2020 to have some benefits which have been good for the family as a whole, and yet, because there has been so much dishonesty in the Nation’s press and politics, there are reasons to be either very frustrated or even angry. Is the glass half full or half empty?
Interestingly, the dollar seems to have more purchasing power in Red states, and in fact, this is true for the top 17 states with the most value for the dollar. The top 5 are 1.) Arkansas, 2.) Mississippi, 3.) Alabama, 4.) West Virginia, 5.) South Dakota. And there is more to support this, as Stephen Parr explains. Blue states make it harder for people to live, whereas Red states do not impose quite the same financial burdens.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about the significance of what Thanksgiving means now and in the past.
Uninformed voters are very dangerous, and the press is responsible for making sure Biden voters were indeed uninformed! Louis Avallone reports that the Media Research Center has discovered nearly 20% of the Biden voters now admit they would not have voted for Biden if they had known about the scandals involving Hunter Biden. Even worse, 45% admit they never even heard about those scandals. Stephen Parr explains that by Facebook, Google, and Twitter controlling so much of the news feed in the past few years, those internet platforms effectively threw the election to Biden by suppressing very critical information.
Louis Avallone explains the problems of State Court Judges, Secretaries of State, and Local Election Officials not following the letter of their respective State Election Laws as written by the State Legislatures and how rulings by the US Supreme Court could likely impact final State Election Results.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about how therapeutic watching Hallmark and Lifetime Movie Channel Christmas movies right now. Denise also really enjoys the various family traditions from all walks of life, as shown in these holiday movies. Listening to Christmas music can also have the same soothing therapeutic effect for people.
Too many school districts are seeing up to 70% of their students failing at least one class because of “remote learning”. The students who are being hurt the most are the minorities, the poor, and often, the girls…. the very groups Democrats claim to want to help the most. Furthermore, even the teachers have been set up for failure in this educational mess.
Contrary to what the press may be implying, President Trump is not preventing Joe Biden from starting the process on his side for a transfer of power.
Louis Avallone shares an e-mail he received over the weekend which contains a number of political factual inaccuracies and blatant intolerance. Apparently, wanting every LEGAL VOTE counted, and every ILLEGAL VOTE removed from the count was not what that writer had in mind. The truth is sometimes “following the crowd” is not the correct approach to a disagreement.
Sidney Powell is a highly respected attorney accustomed to handing very difficult cases. She has said she intends to represent the whole of the American People (as in “We The People”) in fighting to protect the legal principles established under the US Constitution. She is starting with the election system mess in Georgia.
President Trump made a personal public statement about his son, Don Jr, recovering from COVID, and Facebook put a banner over it saying Biden is the President Elect. Absolutely disrespectful and totally unnecessary! Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, discuss the problem of the liberal censorship of conservatives in social media. As Teri explains, this is Big Tech coming in and shutting your conservative mouth — effectively putting tape over your mouth.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the problem of Biden’s wish to “forgive” current outstanding student loans. This is unfair on so many levels — unfair to those who have paid off their student loans, unfair to those who worked two or more jobs to pay for their college educations, and because it is actually going to be “paid” by expanding the Federal Debt, currently unborn children will essentially be having to pay off the college debts of their parents!
During the Bush years, the Democrats and the Press were very hostile about all the wars in the Middle East which resulted in too many American troops being permanently harmed or lost. President Trump brought peace to the Middle East at so many levels. So why are the Democrats and the Press absolutely silent?
Contrary to what Google wants us to believe, according to Rasmussen, 75% of Republicans and 33% of Democrats believe it is likely the the election was stolen from Donald Trump. There also is clear evidence that has been collected to support this belief. Stephen Parr explains that we would have to go back to 1876 to get a similar reaction by any party. Hopefully this will be brought out in the courts.
Rudy Gilliani has said he has evidence Pennsylvania election officials violated Pennsylvania election law by destroying 450,000 official election documents, which are required to be retained for 2 full years after an election. This is in addition to whatever Dominion software did in altering the ballot count.
So many people are putting out their Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving this year. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, explain people are craving JOY! People are so ready to find something that can be “normal” in their lives.
Stephen Parr shares the October unemployment data, which is another example of how important it is to have Republican Governors in the success of so many aspects of the well-being of the State for its population. The States with the highest unemployment for the month of October are 5.) California, 4.) Louisiana, 3.) New York, 2.) Nevada, and 1.) Hawaii. All 5 of these States have Democrat governors, who have been far more aggressive in imposing COVID restrictions on their states economies and populations that most other states. The States with the lowest unemployment are 5.) Utah, 4.) South Dakota, 3.) Iowa, 2.) Vermont, and 1.) Nebraska, with all 5 of these States being run by Republican Governors.
There are so many aspects of this election that cannot be trusted, such as why did dead people vote so overwhelmingly for Biden and why are so many dead people voting by mail instead of in person? Why are we not hearing about how computers flipped votes from Trump to Biden, especially in places like Texas and Florida? Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss voter fraud, both current and historic.
Just as every Communist country does after a take-over, there are Democrats seriously talking about “reprogramming” Trump supporters in 2021.
Sadly, for so many families, this Thanksgiving will end up being their last time with some of their relatives. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are not going to uninvited family members for Thanksgiving Dinner. The politicians have a different standard for themselves, which means this is just a matter of “controlling the population” rather than an absolute health issue. This is a personal family issue, not a governor mandated issue.
The men and women on the Trump Legal Team held a very informative, long press conference regarding the status of their investigations. There is a lot of information which must be kept quiet until presented in court, but they did share some of what they are learning.
Kurt Russell believes celebrities should keep their politics personal. He says they are supposed to entertain, and mixing politics with entertainment makes it very hard to keep entertaining. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone agree.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the difficulties of the current Presidential Election Counting Mess. So many questions and inconsistencies have been discovered that it is hard to understand why the Supreme Court will not have to settle this.
There is no reason to feel pressured to rush to a conclusion on the Presidential Election. If it was an open, honest, and fair election, that will be proven with time and after a thorough investigation. However, it is hard to explain how some very strong Democrat communities had more than 100% of its registered voters actually vote.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, discuss the pros and cons of Facebook, Parker, and MeWe as potential platforms to reach listeners.
This is hard to understand. Why are all 50 states seeing an increase in coronavirus cases if mask mandates work? Would it not be logical that only those states with no mask mandates be the ones with rising coronavirus numbers? Wouldn’t the states with mask mandates not have rising numbers? So why did New York City have to suddenly cancel all of its schools? Well, Denmark did a very comprehensive medical study on the effectiveness of wearing masks, and found wearing masks does not work in preventing the spread of masks. Stephen Parr explains.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss Sidney Powell’s caution to the various States about going ahead and certifying their State election results because they would be certifying their own fraud. That would be considered their “malfeasance of office” in their official State capacities, and she warns she might later file a class action suit against them if they do so.
Louis Avallone explains how the legal process works when a State’s certified Presidential election results are challenged in the Electoral College.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, have had enough of the people who are determined to destroy America, and they have a lot to say about it. And whoever thought NOT putting wreaths on the graves of our fallen veterans….they do not want to get into any kind of discussion or confrontation with these two ladies.
There was a time when the ACLU was against things like book burning. Today, they are aggressively going against the book “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters” by Abigail Shrier. Stephen Parr says “It is not just enough to boycott something you do disagree with. You have to spend your money on things you do disagree with so people will hear you louder.” WE get to decide what things matter, not the ACLU.
Chad Kimball, actor and, COVID-19 survivor, has said he will “respectfully disobey” the order given by Washington State’s governor forbidding the singing in churches because it is a violation of his religious freedoms under the US Constitution. The entertainment industry’s intolerant cancel culture immediately attacked him as being selfish.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr wonder how we could be in such an election mess when today’s Rasmussen Presidential job approval is at 52%. That does not reflect what the biased press is claiming is true in the election results. They emphasize the importance of paying attention to what actually is happening in the Courts, which means you must be patient!
Louis Avallone wants everyone to watch the HBO documentary “Kill Chain: The Cyber War on America’s Elections”, which shows how criminal elements, including American political opposition, foreign governments, and “other bad actors can … gain access to voting systems at any stage – from voter registration databases to actual election results”.
The Miami Marlins have have made history, and our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are very pleased to see this happen. The Marlins hired a new General Manager, Kim Ng, who becomes both the first Asian American and the first woman to become a Major League Baseball GM.
After talking about how the Obama to Trump transition in 2016 was the worst transition in the history of the USA because Obama ran a Federal Spying Operation against the Trump Campaign Team and then the Trump Transition Team, Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the problem news outlets -- both on the left and the right -- “reporting news” that is not true…..in other words, Fake News Reporting! People know they cannot trust the dishonest Big Media. But the newer, smaller media may sometimes be reporting things that are not double-checked and confirmed either.
Louis Avallone tells us there is a reason Georgia has been in such a big election mess for awhile. The current Governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp, was the Secretary of State from 2010 to 2018. While Secretaries of State from Texas and California tested and rejected Dominion voting systems, he was busy buying it.
Stephen Parr reports the COVID-19 vaccines are saying they are believed to be highly effective, far more so than the flu shot each year. And there will be no shortage of vaccines available from 3 different manufacturers for any American who wants one.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the political pressure the media, the social media platforms, and Democrats in general are trying to put upon President Trump and his 70,000,000+ supporters to just give up and go away. And yet, in 2000, when Bush and Gore were having this same fight in the Courts over the Florida vote counting, the Democrats and the media behaved just as the Republicans are now for 37 days after that election. The Democrats set the precedent.
A lot of money has been bet on the outcome of the US Presidential race, only the gambling websites are still refusing to start paying out winnings. That is because they truly do understand the US Election process.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about our small American churches, especially our rural churches, and the problems the unfair, governmentally ordered shutdowns have caused, both to the survival of those churches and to the ability of their church members to worship together. They cannot broadcast their worship services and they cannot pass the collection plate to pay their bills.
Stephen Parr goes over a chart of news outlets compiled by AllSides.com, classifying them as Far Left, Left, Center, Right, and Far Right. There is strong indications about half of those in the Center classification are really Left. Some on the Right and Far Right are perhaps misclassified as well. You can look at the chart at https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-chart and decide for yourself.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss an article in the ‘Gateway Pundit’ about Dominion voting machine software appearing to be more corrupt than “glitchy”. We do know that 96% of the employees working for Dominion are donors to the Democrat Party. This entire process is going to require more information about this software, who owns the company, and about the company’s history.
Was there really organized computer voting fraud? Did China have anything to do with it? A lot of words are suddenly being put out by a lot of very prominent individuals claiming computerized voter fraud, and about where the power behind these claimed events might have come from. There is much to be investigated and in a very short period of time.
The core driving forces of the Democrat Party come from Big Business, Big Media, Big Tech, International Conglomerates, “Woke” Capitalists, and Anarchist Socialists. The Democrats use the very poor, inner-city poor to further their cause. The Republican Party still represents conservatives, only conservative Americans are now the ones who are the small business and the working class still trying to live according to the fundamental values our Nation was founded upon. They are the core of America and are spread across the land. Hopefully, the leadership of the Republican Party can figure out how to build on it.
Some good news out of this election is Republicans have “picked up” or “flipped” a number of seats in the US House of Representatives, narrowing the Democrat control over that governmental body.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr remind everyone that Joe Biden pledged to stay calm and wait to claim victory during the first debate with Chris Wallace. His behavior now shows how much Biden is not the one in control of what he is saying now. The Media is as responsible for this mess as well.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are quite perplexed as to why a Mississippi school decided a 9-year old girl could not wear a mask saying “Jesus Loves Me” (even though she had worn it before), but they are just fine with other masks saying lots of things important to other students, including "Black Lives Matters".
Sharyl Attkisson has written about the problem of the Department of Justice not making Justice its absolute focus and how that has severely hurt Americans’ trust in government. Stephen Parr says “You have to do the right thing, in the right way, for the right reasons.” Government officials too often do not. Consequently, we have a huge ETHICS and COMPETENCE problem, and today, it is throughout our governmental systems.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the divorce rates declining and the importance of 2-parent homes for overall family wellbeing. Unfortunately, the marriage rates are also declining. Stephen points out that he does not believe in “white privilege” but he does strongly believe in “2-parent privilege”.
Even people who are supporters of President Trump are having trouble agreeing on the current status of this Presidential Election chaos. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the current issues and disagreements.
Louis Avallone talks about a systematic, online pressure campaign against the law firms representing President Donald Trump in his legal fight over alleged election fraud. Every person has the right to have his/her day in court, including President Trump. Stephen Parr reminds us the Democrat Party is the party of projection…..if they are accusing others of doing it, they have already done it.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, have a lot to say about the woman on “The View” right now.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss and explain the change in Attorney General Bill Barr changes the DOJ approach to investigating and enforcing Election Law. Until now, the Department of Justice has never tried to prevent nor to enforce election fraud.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the difference the way the Democrats behaved in 2016 and the way Republicans are behaving now as we await the final election outcomes.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the problem of the liberals and the press thinking they can declare Joe Biden as President before it can be determined the honestly of all the ballots being counted. The Supreme Court has said “Every voter in a Federal election, whether he votes for a candidate with little chance of winning or for one with little chance of losing, has a right under the Constitution to have his vote fairly counted without it being distorted by fraudulently cast votes.”
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt headed up the team of Attorney Generals of the States of Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and South Dakota in filing Amicus Briefs with the US Supreme Court urging the disallowance of Pennsylvania allowing votes to be delivered for several days after Nov. 3.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, share their thoughts about how to stay positive during this stressful period of waiting for the Supreme Court to settle the Presidential Election outcome.
Stephen Parr goes through the numerous issues involved in violations of actual voting and vote counting in so many States. There is a lot for the Courts to go through in settling this Presidential Election.
Stephen Parr goes over how the Republicans held the State Legislatures that they already held, and two State Houses flipped from the Democrats to the Republicans. This is very important because it prevents the Democrats from being able to redistrict in their favor.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how the Constitution defines the authority of who is responsible for establishing the state rules about Federal elections. They point out that in 2000, it took a full month for the fight about the counting of votes to work through the US Supreme Court. This time, we have numerous States’ election results needing to get through the Supreme Court. Time to be looking at the 12th Amendment, which has never been used, but might be this time.
Louis Avallone explains the 12th Amendment and how it would work, if by January 6, the Electoral College cannot select a new President.
Need a little humor right now? Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about how men are “fixers”, and because of that, they ask the strangest questions at times. It is the double-checking system.
Congressman Mike Johnson (LA-R) visits with Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr about the status of the Presidential Elction. They discuss the constitutionality of this current election situation and the importance of making certain we maintain “free and fair elections” going forward. Rep. Johnson also explains the process under the 12th Amendment if this should end up in the US House of Representatives.
Congressman Mike Johnson (LA-R) explains the Republican Leaders are doing all they can to support the President right now.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how the reality that honest and fair elections are even in question makes all the American People be losers.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about the continual rioting for reasons which make no sense.
There were many amendments on the ballot for the various states. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone review them, passed or defeated. You will find the consequences of Oregon’s amendments confusing. And California’s results are sometimes good.
One out of four people who voted for Donald Trump were not white. That is the highest support a Republican Presidential candidate has received from minorities since before the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Louis Avallone provides a very inspiring tribute to the greatness of the United States of America and to who Americans really are. We must be willing to find ways to say NO to those who want to “transform” America into something where our Constitutional Freedoms would no longer exist. The anti-American left will not give us back our Constitutional Nation without a fight.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about how to handle the stress of the election mess by turning off the television and other news outlets. We need to find ways to go about our ordinary, daily lives, and let the attorneys and the Lord take care of it.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about the problem of the polls no longer being able to be trusted.
It looks like the Republicans will probably old on to the US Senate and the US House has moved closer to being an even split between the two parties. In Louisiana, Adrian Perkins not only lost his Senate race, but hie even lost the votes in his home town of Shreveport.
Louisiana US House Representative Mike Johnson visits with Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr about the constitutionality of this current election situation and the importance of making certain we maintain “free and fair elections” going forward. He also explains the process under the 12th Amendment if this should end up in the US House of Representatives.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the importance of the election results tonight.
The CDC says you can still go vote. Just be sure to tell the people at the polling location you are sick.
Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, remind us all that this is the time for prayer. It is time for our Nation to come together and to start to heal.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr share their predictions for the election results tonight.
In the past, many Democrat Presidents have had the best interest of America as they stated in their inaugural addresses. What happened today to the Democrat Party and its party leaders?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss how some of the news media is starting to “hedge their bets” on the outcome of the Presidential election even though they have been supporting Biden rather than Trump.
There are a number of times in history where the press and the “experts” predicted the outcome of an election only to have the actual result be a landslide for the other candidate. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr remember a few.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, share their hopes for Election Day tomorrow.
Stephen Parr compares the similarities of the current Trump-Biden election to the Truman-Dewey Election in 1946.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss Maxine Water’s hostile reaction to the ideal of black men voting for Donald Trump.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the very serious choice between the “gloom and doom” being planned by the Democrats and the “bright American future” continuing to be developed by the Republicans. Early voter turnout supports the idea of Americans understanding the difference.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about how families of college age children need to adjust their parenting approaches and how parenting from one college child to another is different. There are a lot of reasons for that.
"Real Clear Investigations" did a thorough study of Antifa and found it is a loose organization of organized people who are wanting “socialist anarchy”. Bottom line is the Democrats cannot denounce Antifa, nor BLM, because they are neck deep in it. Stephen Parr explains why.
Antifa came from the Weather Underground, a violent domestic terrorist organization in the 1960s an 1970s. The current founders of Antifa are the same people who are free to do this today because President Bill Clinton committed their long-term prison sentences just as he left office.
Bill Ayres, co-founder of the Weather Underground in 1969, planned the bombing of the U.S. Capitol in the 1970. He later became a fundamental mentor for Barack Obama, the 44th US President. Furthermore, the current DA of San Francisco, whose campaign was financed by Soros, was raised by Bill Ayres.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr wonder if the Democrats, the Press, and other liberals are so unhappy they don’t know they are telling things that are not true? Is the problem they now believe the government is responsible for their happiness, not they themselves? Do they really believe the Biden family is a typical, hard working American family and not a Family Crime Syndicate, even though we have been discovering solid evidence for the past 4 years showing corruption involving foreign governments and money going into Biden bank accounts?
Louis Avallone is so excited about the V-shaped recovery of the economy this year after the Coronavirus shutdown. The solution is simple. Open everything up and let businesses start back to work, hiring people again.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are amazed people are so inconsistent in their beliefs that they allow coaches to behave badly when it involves their children playing high school sports, but are so intolerant of President Trump, based upon what others say about him and not what his lifetime history supports. These same people are willing to tolerate Biden while ignoring Biden’s well established racism as proven on years of old videos.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr visit with Daniel Erspamer, CEO of the Pelican Institute, about the amendments on the Louisiana ballot.
Physicists William Happer and William van Wijngaarden have been studying the present levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide and water vapor, and have realized critical aspects of the interaction of elements in our atmosphere cannot be harmed by additional emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) — meaning the science of “climate change” is not settled! The reason they give is the atmosphere has defined points or limits for chemical saturation. It is how nature maintains appropriate balance. Emitting more CO2 is not going to impact that balance as a result.
The best way to prevent the Democrats from using this election results as “justification” to create a continuing resistance against President Trump is to have a landslide victory for all Republicans, including President Trump and Vice-President Pence.
Shreveport Mayor Adrian Perkins is not receiving important endorsements from several very prominent Democrat Louisiana politicians in his candidacy for the US Senate.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, explain the mess the Kappa Delta sorority has made in acknowledging the incredible, impressive success of their sister Amy Coney Barrett becoming a Justice of the US Supreme Court.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about the inconsistent ways the Biden Campaign has behaved in recent months. Why spend $80 million in the last week of campaigning on television ads? How many people actually watch television advertising any more? Could it be to “pay back” all the networks and other television stations for not reporting the facts about the Biden’s crime family as documented on Hunter Biden’s laptop?
Teaching students with dyslexic difficulties is challenging enough. Traditional methods of instruction often will not work. Donesa Walker of Learning RX comes into the studio to talk about the additional problems teachers and students with dyslexia are now having in this current teaching environment of maintaining student isolation.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are most unhappy that any Governor would try to dictate the rules for family Thanksgiving gatherings and celebrations. Where is this happening? California! No Governor has any such legal authority. It is definitely unconstitutional.
How in the world did the Democrats end up where they are now with Joe Biden as their Presidential candidate? All those “up and coming” Democrats were supposed to defeat him in the primaries.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are wondering why Chelsea Handler feels 50 Cent cannot be supporting President Trump because he is Black. They are concerned about people are not doing their homework before they go vote.
Congressman Mike Johnson has been personal friends with Amy Coney Barrett for a long time. He joins Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr to talk about her nomination and confirmation. It is great for Louisiana and for the American people. They also discuss the Love Life Amendment which is on the Louisiana ballot.
Jason Whitlock says Black Men are taking a new look at President Donald Trump and they like his “Dragon Energy”, meaning his “masculine energy”. As black men come to see the strength of President Trump’s leadership, they are seeing a strength of character they can relate to which does not let fear interfere with living. Trump’s support of Historically Black Colleges and Universities, his getting some elements of criminal justice reform passed, and his daily battle with the Big Tech/Social Media biased liberals are proving that he is the kind of leader they want.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr look at what seems to be going on inside the Biden-Harris campaign. On the surface, it appears they are confident the polls are correct in saying they are ahead. But Louis has reason to wonder if the Biden campaign staff is thinking something else.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss what Donald Trump has done for the Black Community, and then compare that to the things both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris did to hurt the Black Community. People, such as Van Jones, also seem to be seeing the same comparison and contrast.
Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, explain why they are voting for Donald Trump. They are committed to God’s morals, the American flag, the US Constitution, and the founding principles of our Nation, as is President Trump. It is most unfortunate the main stream media had been honest in its reporting for the past 4 years, rather than spreading the liberal propaganda and outright lies. America should be a much better place than it seems to be right now.
Something is very wrong with the polls. Over the weekend, Joe Biden held a car rally in Scranton, PA, featuring Jon Bon Jovi. 232 cars showed up! Across the state in Western Pennsylvania, there was a Trump car rally with more than 2,000 cars participating. This rally was completely organized by local people and promoted only on Facebook. But the polls are saying Biden will win Pennsylvania by 5 points. Considering the contrast in the two car rallies, that is not logical. A similar illogical situation exists with data regarding a number of voter demographics. Stephen Parr explains.
In December, 2016, John Kerry was adamant there could never be peace in the Middle East without first having a solution on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Trump Administration has proven that is not true. Peace is being won one Nation at a time!
There is a big difference between statements opinion and just out-and-out lies! Joe Biden has been telling untruths for much of his political career, and he does not recognize the absurdity of what he is now saying. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr compare Biden to Pinocchio with Biden’s outright lies.
Joe Biden has a long history of saying very inappropriate or very incorrect things. He has had this problem most of his political career, and it has been well documented.
Sometimes some “explosive” words get said in our American households that really should not be said — just should not! Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, review them for everyone’s benefit.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone look at all the various kinds of taxes Americans pay, and found that even though we have a variable taxing system based upon income, 29.6% of American workers’ potential overall salaries goes to the Federal government. In addition to Federal taxes, State taxes also consume personal wealth. New York is the highest taxed state in the Nation, with North Dakota being second, followed by Hawaii, Vermont, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, Illinois, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.
While there is a difference in what is taxed by State, all states have property taxes. Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon do not have sales taxes. Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming do not have personal income taxes. Alaska is the only state with neither sales taxes nor personal income taxes.
The debate between President Trump and former Vice President Biden showed American voters a clear choice between the two. President Trump looked and acted like a President. Biden did not. But Biden saying he was going to do away with all fossil fuel energy was a really bad move for him, especially in critical states which have oil and gas as major economic industries.
The Democrats and the press have done everything they can to suppress truly substantiated allegations about the Biden Crime Family, but had no difficulty spreading truly unsubstantiated allegations (because they never happened) about President Trump.
Louis Avallone keeps saying the liberals will be cancelling all of our traditional Fall and Winter celebrations. Well, Macy's just announced there will be no Santas in a number of their stores this year. They even had Santas during the 1918 Flu epidemic, but not this year.
Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about a bar owner in a Biden commercial saying he is about to go bankrupt, only he is not. He is a big Democrat donor with plenty of money. Unfortunately, honesty in advertising is not a requirement, not in politics nor in commerce.
There are three areas of great concern on Hunter Biden’s laptop, as corroborated by numerous, appropriate sources. These are individuals using their own names, and not all are Republicans. These computer documents involving Ukraine dealings which support graft, bribery, and blackmail, all involving Hunter and Vice President Joe Biden.
After his Dad left the Vice Presidency, Hunter Biden set up a business designed to transfer monies from the Communist Party of China (CPC) and funnel it into the Biden family bank accounts. The laptop, now in FBI possession, was subpoenaed last year as part of a money laundering investigation. Exactly what that investigation is about is still unclear.
Rudy Guillani has a copy of the hard drive of Hunter Biden’s laptop. On it are quite inappropriate pictures of underage girls, as well as communication with his father, Joe Biden, about a relationship (details not publicly disclosed) with a 14-year old girl. Guillani and Bernard Kerik turned the information over to Delaware State Police. Joe Biden know this happened at the time, and did not report it.
Modern farming has made great strides over the years in improving technology and efficiency, while protecting the land, air, water, and human health. We now are able to provide more food per acre of agriculture than ever before. As for organic farming, the definition changes regularly depending on what the USDA has approved at the time. A report out of California indicates organic farming today actually uses more pesticides than non-organic, modern farming.
Putin says he would rather work with Joe Biden and the Democrat Party because of their shared values with Communism. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr point out all of the socialist measures of the US government were all started by Democrats. They just want them to go even further in the socialist direction.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone feel Amy Coney Barrett represents what are the true values of the American People, not what the press and Democrats claim are American values today. They are very pleased to learn she had strong public support as the nomination process goes forward.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are pleased some of Chris Pratt’s co-workers and his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, came to his defense regarding the mean meme of photos of Chris Evans, Chris Pine, Chris Hemsworth and Chris Pratt. Robert Downey Jr. responded with a well worded comment about those who were being ugly.
A "Truth and Reconciliation Commission" or "A FALSEHOOD AND REVENGE COMMISSION"? Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone explain the difference, and you should be very concerned about what the Democrats are planning.
A 41-year Houston Police Officer, Sgt. Harold Preston, was shot and killed during a call regarding domestic violence. This did not have to happen. The problem is the Soros ($2 mil) supported Harris County District Attorney, Kim Ogg, has a long history of “going easy” on serious criminals and those in the USA illegally. This is true regarding the man who murdered Sgt Preston. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the Soros funded District Attorneys.
Democrats are determined to ban fracking and fossil fuels, and they have said so repeatedly. But the press is not calling them out on their positions, and the social medial platforms are blocking and banning President Trump’s efforts to disclose the Biden-Harris dishonesties. So being creative, President Trump is now playing videos of Biden and Harris — in their own words — at his rallies! The press no longer can refuse to report, and the truth is gradually getting out.
Why did the City not just pay what it owed before it got to court where the City now has to pay the total owed plus penalties, interest, and attorneys’ fees? Without the knowledge of the City Council, Shreveport Mayor Adrian Perkins awarded over $7 billion in no-bid contracts for sewer repairs. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss what the City should have done in the beginning — but did not. They then explain what happened next.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss a number of examples about how Democrats use political power and influence to make money for their own family members.
“That’s a lot of jet fuel just to do a little flyover.” Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are not pleased with Troy Aikman's comment, nor the attitude behind it. Teri explains how these flyovers are really part of the pilots’ regular training program because they have to fly somewhere and flying in formations is part of that training.
Our Founding Fathers were really bright people….well educated and accustomed to engaging in deep thought and debate. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss a President John Adams’ quote “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.” This quote is from a letter President Adams wrote to the Massachusetts Militia on October 11, 1798. The letter also contains some warnings about what could happen to the country if Americans stop being moral, religious people. Adams’ warnings for the future is where we are today.
Tyrants don’t like it when you stand up to them, even if they are a Governor of a State, such as Pennsylvania. In June, the restaurant “Taste of Sicily” in Palmyra, PA reopened because "We need to make a living. We are all tied to that paper called money, and we need it to pay our bills and pay our taxes and basically buy what we need.” Eventually, they won against Gov. Tom Wolf.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are rather amazed to now be hearing that Joe Biden is not in cognitive decline as we all thought we had observed on a number of occasions. Rather, the Democrats now claim he just stutters. How come we never knew this before?
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss what a Moderator really is and what the current “moderators” really are and are not!
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are impressed with Amy Coney Barrett. As a Justice on the US Supreme Court, she will be fair, balanced, and she will follow the law according to the Constitution. It is wrong to conflate what leftists want with Women’s Rights.
Keeping in mind most who took the Act Exams last year did so before we had the problems with the coronavirus because they were taken last fall. As usual, the people most affected by this are the poor, who are the ones needing educational opportunities to improve their family living conditions. There are many reasons for this problem, but one is how involved are the parents and/or grandparents in the students’ education. We have examples of successful adults whose mothers were on welfare, but they stressed the importance of reading and learning all the time. It makes a difference.
Those who founded our Nation and our creative, new form of government knew America’s Freedoms could only be protected and preserved by moral citizens. The common phrase on our currency “In God We Trust” is not a call to worship. It is a constant, quiet nudge toward that power from which all our freedoms come. Hint: not government nor earthly king. As Attorney General Bill Barr explains, “In the words of Madison, ‘We have staked our future on the ability of each of us to govern ourselves.’ ’’ If we cannot discipline ourselves to behave properly, then we are unable to engage in the building blocks needed for “self governance”.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the issues involving mail-in ballots. It is estimated 22% of mail-in ballots never get counted for some reason. Furthermore, for those that are counted, there is no way to verify returned ballots for those who are actually dead, for those that have has signatures faked, and for those who no longer live in the State. This is essentially a huge fraud machine!
Comparing the Townhalls for Donald Trump on NBC and for Joe Biden on ABC proved to they were neither fair nor balanced. The interviewers’ political bias showed.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, believe it is not appropriate to take advantage of your family members when it comes to caring for your own children. It is quite fine for Grandparents to keep their grandchildren when they want to and when it does not interfere with other things they would be doing. It is quite different if you are using grandparents as a substitute for having to pay for daycare. You should always offer to pay or to do something special in return.
Senator Bill Cassidy joins Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone on the phone. He says the Supreme Court Nominee Amy Coney Barrett clearly knows more about the law than anyone in the room in the Senate Hearings this week. Furthermore, has found her to be very impressive in many ways. When it comes to the Republican plan to replace Obamacare, Senator Cassidy is one of the primary authors for that Graham-Cassidy proposed bill. He points out that Republicans are trying to empower Americans regarding their healthcare, while protecting pre-existing conditions; however, the Democrats want to completely deny Americans any personal healthcare options. They want to put everyone into the Medicare program which is going to be broke in about 4 years already.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr consider the problem of elected officials and their family members finding ways to put millions of dollars into their own personal bank accounts at the expense of the American people or by making deals with foreign governments. Would it be the Bidens or the Clintons?
Facebook, Twitter and others claim to be public platforms, and then they engage in censoring what is posted on their platforms. That makes them become publishers. There is a huge difference between the two, and they cannot be both. They definitely cannot silence the Republicans just weeks before a National Election and then claim their are not subject to other laws applying to the Press.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are very concerned about the Tech Giants being so closely tied to the extreme Democrats. The CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, even supports the destruction of the conservative movement! Why are people more concerned about their children telling them the truth than our top politicians today?
“Just the News” did a study of the voting patterns of states and their current unemployment rates. Not surprisingly, red states tended to have lower unemployment than blue states. Stephen Parr did a more thorough analysis, taking into consideration the states’ governors and legislatures.
Several judges have recently upheld the “letter of the law”, meaning followed the exact words written into the various State Election Laws. By doing so, these judges are helping to protect the integrity of the upcoming elections. Unfortunately, not all judges are as interested in what words really mean when applying words to laws.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss CNN’s Wolf Blitzer’s interview with Speaker Nancy Pelosi, where they get into a huge argument about his question regarding the second “COVID Relief” Bill. Typical of Democrats, Pelosi attacked Blitzer rather than have a civil discussion about the ideas contained in the proposed bill.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr continue their discussion from the previous segment about Wolf Blitzer’s efforts to have a good discussion with Nancy Pelosi about her holding up the “COVID Relief” Bill and her continued arrogance.
Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur, talks about the Democrat Mayor of Lancaster, PA forcing the Chief of Police to retire because his wife posted in the comments of someone else’s Facebook post that she supported President Trump.
A State’s Rainy Day Fund is sort of like an individual’s emergency savings account. It is intended to have money set aside to help get through emergencies. The year 2020 definite brought in a huge emergency for state governments! So how are they doing? In order of best preparedness, these states have very good Rainy Day Funds: 1.) Wyoming, 2.) Alaska, 3.) North Dakota, 4.) West Virginia, 5.) New Mexico, and 6.) Texas.
Bright Spot - Impressive Judge Amy Coney Barrett
Judge Amy Coney Barrett has been very impressive in her answers and behavior in her nomination hearing. She has a style and grace which really ought to be emulated by so many today.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the Presidential polls and the likelihood of those polls being correct. However when a reporter asked Joe Biden why, if 56% of Americans think they are better off today than they were 4 years ago, should they vote for him, Biden said they shouldn’t.
Some of the questions the Democrats asked of Judge Amy Coney Barrett in the Senate Judicial Committee Hearings were really incredible, and definitely not indicating good judgement. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain.
After talking about Kim Jong Un’s apology to the North Korean people, Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss a report out of Texas that many public school systems are ending remote learning and returning to full-time classroom instruction because remote learning has proven to be such a failure.
Who is more afraid of COVID-19? Is it men or women? The Big, Bad Wolf? Or is there some other group? Gallup has been polling about who is more concerned about COVID-19. It found, generally speaking, women are more afraid of COVID than men are. But that is not the real story from their data. Buried in the report, the real fear is much greater among Democrats than among Republicans. It is time to stop living in fear.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr consider what Joe Biden actually says on the campaign trail and at how both the his campaign and the American Press are behaving in general. When Ronald Reagan was in his last and declining years, his family and friends, including his political friends, protected information about his then current mental condition. Why are the members of the Democrat Party and his family members not doing that now for Joe Biden?
The Democrats are even using the values of the Christian religion as a weapon against those who believe in the Christian Faith. Considering the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence are based upon fundamental human principles which are part of the Jewish and Christian faiths, this is very disconcerting. It is time for this to stop.
Our American Mama, Teri Netterville, remembers her dear friend, Cherie Brock Humphrey, who valiantly fought against cancer for many years. We all hope we can be so remembered for the difference we made in other people’s lives.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the history of Christopher Columbus’ voyages, his goals in making the trips, and the lands and people he interacted with. He never landed on the North American continent. So why is he blamed for all sorts of “bad stuff”? Is it because the people doing the blaming really hate Western Culture? That means they are so ignorant of World History that they do not realize how many other cultures are really bad.
If your Governor has your State locked down, send him this video. Even the World Health Organization says the science does not support these lockdowns. The reason is lockdowns do far more harm than good.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the Democrats’ motivations during this election process. So many do not expect Joe Biden to be able to finish a 4-year term. Also, Nancy Pelosi is now wanting to create a Commission which would not be in compliance with the US Constitution, but rather would give Congress the power to remove a siting President any time they so wished. What a mess!
As is now proving to be so typical of the Democrats, they believe they should not tell Americans whether or not they plan to “Pack the Supreme Court” before we cast our votes. It matters greatly because the 9-Justice Supreme Court has proved to be a very good working size for the Court. But unless the Democrats can expand it to being a much bigger set of Justices, they cannot continue to use the Supreme Court to “pass rules” which they cannot get through the Congress or signed by the President. It would turn the Supreme Court into a super legislature.
Our American Mama, Denise Arthur, is very concerned that a 16-year old was arrested for not wearing a mask. He has a history of panic attacks, but no one cared. Denise point out that we are really needing our young people to be the ones who provide the required herd immunity in order to get this virus under better control, so what are we doing?
This is perhaps a very positive report for Conservatives. However, the polls saying Biden will win are in conflict with a Gallup poll asking “Are you better off today than you were 4 years ago?”. What does it mean?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr point out almost half of the people planning to vote for Joe Biden do not think he will last 2 years as President, which means they really are voting for Kamala Harris. Based upon her performance during the debate, however, she clearly is not ready to be President of the United States. She was short on facts, and long on Democrat talking points. She talked down to people, assuming they don’t know the meaning of words like “debt” and “bounty”. And she was short on temper!
Smashing windows, throwing bricks, and burring buildings are violent acts, by definition. Michelle Obama can say untruths all she wants, but it will not change the facts. If the people doing such acts are part of any organization engaging in protesting, including BLM and Antifa, then those organizations are supporting the violence.
Our American Mama, Denise Arthur, talks about how the extreme Democrats and press are attacking Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, a man who happens to be black, for doing his job. What they are saying is horrible, and if he were not a Republican, this would not be happening. Even worse, the “story” the press has told about the incident is not true to begin with.
Tom Gresham, Host of “Gun Talk”, visits with Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone about how there are smart ways to protect your 2nd Amendment rights regarding owning and using weapons, and then there are “not so smart” ways to do it. For example, it is your Right to have a weapon in public; but how you go about it could only hurt your cause, not help it. The Democrats have a long wish list of ways to deny you Gun Rights and they plan to do it.
The most popular searches for Halloween costumes are Clowns, Rabbits, Harley Quinn, Dinosaur, and Witch. Some of the most popular by cities are also interesting.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr have a very animated conversation about how local governments around the Nation are trying to ban the traditions of Halloween for the kids. It is understandable for a governmental agency to decide not to sponsor an event. It is absolutely beyond governmental authority to order bans on private traditional Halloween celebrations. And to make it worse, they are using a 1905 Supreme Court Ruling, "Jacobson v. Massachusetts" , which was years before even Penicillin was developed (1928)!
After all this time waiting for those in the Deep State to make public all the information about the illegal spying activities of a Candidate and then the next President of the United States by people in the prior administration, President Trump orders all documents related to Spygate to be declassifies with no redactions and made public. The question remains, however, will there be more than one low level person indicted?
Our @American Mamas, Denise Arthur, points out that while this is being called the Vice-Presidential Debate, for the Democrats, it is really their only true Presidential debate.
CEO Daniel Erspamer, of the Pelican Institute, talks with Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone about the clearly needed Checks and Balances between the Legislature and the Governor regarding the Governor’s Emergency Powers. Too many governors in the United States have done great harm in States where the Legislatures cannot effectively limit how extreme Governors’ Emergency Orders can go.
Stephen Parr goes over the new voter registrations in several key Presidential election States, and explains how new Republican voter registrations are greater than Democrats.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the reality that since March, 2020, America has not been a Free Nation any more. The Democrat Marxists — the Party of Joe Biden — are doing all they can to destroy our Nation. The St. Louis DA, who is bought and paid for by Soros, dropped all charges against everyone in the Mob, engaging in domestic terrorism, but gets a Grand Jury indictment against the couple who were only using their 2nd Amendment Rights to defend themselves and their property.
Too many American cities and states are now dealing with the lost of sales tax and other revenues because their political leaders decided to shut down the cities and states for extended periods of time. There are other cities and states, which did not shut down so drastically, doing much better now. It wasn’t COVID-19 that caused the economic downturn. It was politicians.
Our American Mama, Denise Arthur, talks about the problem of teachers being intolerant of students with conservative values. In this case, a Tacoma WA teacher berated a student who said he admired President Trump. Denise points out that parents need to be paying close attention to what is going on in their students’ classrooms, even if the schools and teachers do not want them to do so.
Recycling is not working. No one is buying our plastic junk. That means recycling is now a money loser for America’s cities. Even though China is the world’s largest polluter of plastic into the Pacific Ocean, China used to buy about half of our recycled plastic; but not any more. No one is making money recycling any more. Stephen Parr explains why. He also shares a couple of positive options American innovative industries might consider.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about the relationship and connection among Faith, Hope, and Fear. Don’t live in Fear. It is important to have both Hope and Faith. More than 99% of all people who catch the coronavirus will recover. Get busy getting on with your life!
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the deliberate bias of the American main stream media and the absurdity of some of their stories about President Trump. The Press today never corrects its Fake News Headlines or Stories…..because those “errors” are not accidental.
Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur, talks about why so many people stated unfriending Facebook friends this past weekend because they were excited President Trump has caught COVID and were hoping it would kill him. Such people clearly have no moral compass or conscience. Part of the problem is the dishonest reporting on COVID, which implies getting sick means you are going to die. We do not see that less than 1% of those getting ill will die, meaning more than 99% will recover.
There are more Republican Senate seats up for re-election than there are Democrat seats. This puts the Republican majority in the Senate at serious risk. If the Democrats take control of the Senate, nothing more will get done.
Because Chris Wallace did not do his homework and kept challenging President Trump to denounce White Supremacy….as if he has not done so numerous times already, Stephen Parr does Wallace’s homework for him. Listen for yourself!
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the Democrats and biased media claiming President Trump was a National embarrassment when, in fact, it was Joe Biden who interrupted Donald Trump first. And they go on to list a number of truly embarrassing (if not totally horrific) situations in the Obama-Biden era which should definitely not be forgotten nor ignored.
After sharing an e-mail from Barbra Streisand asking for a $1 donation to be used to defeat Donald Trump, Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the economic problems in New Orleans caused by New Orlean’s Democrat Mayor.
Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about the issues surrounding Harry and Meghan and the changes the public seems to be seeing in Harry.
Data taken from around the world shows that there is a direct correlation between a society’s degree of Religious Freedom and the ability for its people to flourish is a number of ways. There is even reason to content that Religious Freedom is more important than Economic Freedom. Interestingly, the groups which benefit the most are those who are in the Religious Minorities.
Fake News Friday!
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss how any kind of fraud involving mail-in ballots will destroy confidence of the November 3rd election, and there are many reasons to believe this is exactly what the Democrats are planning to do. But social media and the main stream media is committed to keeping this secret. Stephen points out that if this happens, then our National System of Self-Governance will have failed.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, discuss the French kindergarten teacher who has total body tattoos, including his face, tongue and eyes. His appearance is very frightening to kindergarten children, and as a result, he no longer is able to teach extremely young children.
Stephen Parr shares the top 5 worst mass murderers in World History, and there is a problem. The #1 Mass Murdering Political Party is the current Chinese Communist Party……and they are making it very clear they want Joe Biden and the Democrats to be back in power. Apparently, they don’t like the reality that President Trump stands up to them and blocks their goals of world domination.
The Supreme Court in the State of Maine has said NO to expanding the time-frame of accepting mail-in ballots. They say the State has a greater obligation to insure security of voting than being “flexible” about allowing voting.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how the debate last night was not a comfortable one to wash and to hear. But Louis makes a significant point that “being comfortable’ is now what this election is about. It is about which man will fight to save the values we all once used to know and enjoy. It is about restoring the meaning of the words written in the Declaration of Independence and in the US Constitution. Yes, we are indeed in a fight to save the Nation, and no, it is going going to be “comfortable”. But it must be won!
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, were not happy about how the debate was moderated by Chris Wallace, who definitely helped Biden get through the debate and handicapped Trump. Teri's sister explained her frustration in a note Teri read on air.
While it is often thought the faculty and administration is responsible for suppressing Free Speech on college campuses, a study reported by Real Clear Politics shows it is actually from the students themselves. Stephen Parr explains.
Men and women between the ages of 75 and 80 today have muscle strength, walking speed, reaction speed, verbal fluency, reasoning, and working memory are all significantly better than was the case for people the same age living in the 1990s. Living longer today also is bringing a better quality of life for our seniors.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr compare the Russian Collusion Story to the fabled Lock Ness Monster Story. And amazingly, the Russian Collusion Story seems to have been something Hillary Clinton was responsible for creating and spreading. Perhaps, President Obama already knew Hillary was behind it, when he apparently decided to use the Federal Departments to destroy President Trump.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are looking forward to the Presidential Debate tonight. They are concerned about fairness by moderator Chris Wallace.
Law suits have been filed with sworn affidavits supporting a masive voter fraud effort by some key Democrats in Harris County (Houston), Texas. If not controlled, this mail-in voter fraud plan could make the difference between Texas staying Red for Trump or going Blue for Biden. It is a very serious problem. And Houston is not the only place this is happening.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss previous Presidential debates and their impacts on related election outcomes.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr have many examples of things the extreme left (including the news media) are obsessed with, explaining this I illustrating who the people on the extreme left really are. None if it is designed to make America a better place. It all is designed to create strife and friction in the population.
LSU has record enrollment this fall at its Baton Rouge campus. Apparently, it seems, LSU has lowered its standards for admissions. But across the Nation, college attendance numbers are down.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are very concerned about the Project Veritas video showing ballot harvesting and vote buying in Ilhan Omar’s Congressional District. They are strongly urging all Conservatives to go vote in person, and go early so you can make sure no one else “votes for you”.
Amy Coney Barrett is a strict Constitutional Conservative who is competent, intelligent, and effective. Her being nominated is the Democrats’ own fault. Stephen Parr explains.
Liberal politicians are discovering the “defunding the police” is not going over well with the majority of Americans, especially among minority populations in their communities.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the problem of American people having too low expectations of Joe Biden and the possibility of his doing well.
Respiratory illnesses have been worse in the winter when people are staying inside, close to family members. Isn’t COVID-19 a respiratory virus? Why have we all been staying locked inside our houses all year long?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are reporting Facebook is making it hard for "American Mamas" followers to get their newsfeeds because the information doesn't match Facebook's liberal positions. You may have to start going directly to their Facebook page to get the news.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Grand Jury indictments against 4 people in Gregg County, TX for election fraud and ballot harvesting. They were using of vote-by-mail ballots, and it was reported to be a very highly organized voter fraud scheme. Having won her primary by just 5 votes, Commissioner Shannon Brown is charged with 23 different felony indictments. She could be looking at up to 99 years in prison, if found guilty.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are very concerned that because of all the uncertainty regarding mail-in ballots will mean the winner of the elections across the Nation will not be able to be known as of the end of counting on election night. It makes voter fraud a very serious problem.
It is hard to imagine this is actually necessary, but President Trump is having to sign a “born alive” protective order requiring babies who survive abortions be given appropriate medical treatment to save them.
Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, strongly encourage everyone to go vote in person. The system is so corrupt that voting by mail cannot be trusted as so many levels.
Stephen Parr explains that there is a substantial difference between California’s bad forest management and true climate science. To begin with, on is very local. The other must be considered in the context of the entire earth. Just because it is happening around you, doesn’t mean it happens everywhere. By not managing the forests, this year’s fires created more carbon dioxide than many years of emission restrictions had saved. California when backwards.
Amy Coney Barrett has a very impressive understanding of being a judge in our contentious current environment. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the problem of separating one personal religious convictions with the laws of the land.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the problem of elected officials who are not really doing their job. Such officials are still receiving their paychecks, but the leadership roles they are supposed to be doing are not really being done. Stephen called this “senioritis”. Louis refers to it as “checked out”, and says the symptoms of “checking out” are all there.
Michael Bloomberg has been raising money to pay off the court ordered financial obligations of Florida Felons, now out of prison, so they can vote. But he will only do this for Blacks and Hispanics. Now, the Florida Attorney General is interested in what he is doing……wondering if he is engaging in “vote buying” for the Democrats.
“Defund the Police” activist, Alyssa Milano, calls the police to come protect her because she heard gunshots. They bring quite a force, including seven Ventura County Sheriff’s vehicles, a K-9 unit, a helicopter, and a unit from the fire department! It turned out to be a 17-year old neighbor out with an air rifle looking for squirrels. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, think she once again has engaged in inexcusable double-standards.
Stephen Parr shares a number of very serious problems too many States have because they have laws which are enough similar to California’s “laws”, including those being decreed by California’s Gov. Gavin Newsom, who no longer understands he does not have dictatorial powers. The heart of the problem is “what happens in California does not stay in California”.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss how our States’ economies cannot survive a second Democrat led “lockdown” for another wave of Coronavirus this fall and winter. They go on to talk about the potential vaccine and how the long-term effects are not going to be known for some time.
The coaches are essentially outdoors. They are essentially in stadiums with almost no one else there. And yet, the NFL is fining Head Coaches for not wearing masks on the sidelines during the games. Masks interfere with the sound of speech, and so much communication is dependent upon body language, including facial expression. How much more can the NFL do to hurt their entire business enterprise?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are quite troubled by how intolerant so many on the extreme left have become, to the point of wishing death upon those who support President Trump.
Senator Mitt Romney said “The historical precedent of election year nominations is that the Senate generally does not confirm an opposing party’s nominee but does confirm a nominee of its own.” Stephen Parr did research going back to 1801, and has confirmed this is indeed true. Sometimes this even happens after Election Day during a lame duck session.
53% of Americans — both Republicans and Democrats — are saying Donald Trump should get credit for the Big 10 deciding to play football after his tweeted about them not playing. Stephen Parr explains how that might be an indicator of the upcoming elections.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the continual dropping in the Emmy viewer ratings. The critics are saying the problem with the Emmys is racism. But is that the real problem?
Louis Avallone shares information about Gannett Newpapers publishing an article this weekend claiming that black voter suppression is still a very big problem. They are confusing Voter Suppression with a person’s Right to Vote. The two are very different.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, admit they did not watch the Emmy Awards this year. Our American Mamas are tired of the behavior of the “entertainment elite”, including their intolerance and hate. It is so unfortunate they do not use their fame to promote areas for good, such as trying to make the American public more aware of the problem of sex trafficking, of the importance of getting the educational training to have a good job (including the trades), or even the value of being good to one another.
Rob Gaudet, with the Cajun Navy Foundation, describes the conditions in the Lake Charles area weeks after Hurricane Laura went through and did great damage to all of the housing and infrastructure in the entire region. The conditions are very dire for so many, especially the elderly and the disabled. Donations would be greatly appreciated. https://cajunrelief.org/
Princeton University’s President Christopher Eisgruber was busy being “politically correct”, and as a result, has now caused the Department of Education to open an investigation to determine if Princeton has been filing false Federal forms in order to get millions in Federal Education dollars over the years. President Eisgruber issued a public letter under his signature declaring that Princeton is a racist university, which would have Princeton in direct violation of the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act which clearly says no one can be “subjected to discrimination” based upon “race, color, or national origin.”
Louis Avallone tells Stephen Parr wonder why people are continuing to tell lies because they think lying is exhausting. But the extreme left and the main stream media are really committed to saying and repeating lies. It is to the point their leftist, Marxist lies are now contradicting themselves, and it doesn’t seem to matter.
Why do liberals think the way to solve government budget shortfalls is to raise taxes? Why not honestly cut overhead not required for necessary public services? New Jersey is talking about raising income taxes on wealthy individuals could likely increase 11% to make up for loss of state revenues because of poor management of the New Jersey economy this year during the Coronavirus shutdown. People who believed they are over taxed, tend to move to a place where the taxes as much less.
Why are the worst bullies in America today the liberals? Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about how the bullies today are inspired, and even directed, to engage in bullying behavior by liberals…..from harassing people eating in restaurants to people on social media. And it is all liberal groups, including politicians, entertainment personalities, sports athletes, and news anchors. Our Mamas are not seeing such behavior by Conservatives, however.
The fake news problem is getting worse, and it is because of the dishonest media. Joe Biden keeps telling dishonest stories about himself, and the press is letting him getting away with it. Stephen Parr sites a number of examples. Even worse, the media is making up lies about Trump and reporting it was fact. Even when they get caught, the media will not correct it.
Tribute to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, as news is breaking of her death.
Louis Avallone tells Stephen Parr about Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Alejandro Villanueva, a West Point Grad who received a Bronze Star for Valor as an Army Ranger, chose to put the name of a fellow Ranger, SGT 1st Class Alwyn Cashe, on the back of his helmet instead of any many with a criminal record. Alwyn Cashe died after being burned severely trying to save fellow soldiers in a burning Bradley.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how the organization BLM clearly says in its websites their goal is to destroy American society, both the American system of government and the natural system of families being a Father, a Mother, and their children.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about how people are either ignoring the political crisis we have in this Nation today or are afraid to say anything because they are afraid of reactions. But are they even doing their homework on their own? The outcome of this election will impact everything from the wallet in your purse today to the money you will (or will not) have for retirement.
Stephen Parr explains how Google’s “suggestive subject or article” addition to the search field may be incorrectly influencing potential voters. The issue really is why would this not be an illegal, in-kind campaign donation to Joe Biden? Corporations cannot make direct donations to Federal campaigns at all, and that includes not even sending out a corporate e-mail message on behalf of such campaigns. What is the difference?
Attorney General Bill Barr has said the essentially nationwide lockdowns, done by local and state officials, are the same as declaring all Americans to be under House Arrest. It is about the greatest intrusion on civil liberties in American history. Furthermore, those local and state officials are violating Rights of Privacy, of Assembly, of Free Speech, and Freedom of Worship, among others.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr say it is not Donald Trump sowing chaos into American society and the upcoming American elections. It is those on the left who have made it very clear they will not accept the results of the ballot tallies on Nov 3. They intend to create a total mess of the system, with the express purpose of somehow getting rid of Donald Trump and taking power for themselves.
Louis Avallone explains how the American Markets are doing very well, which means Americans’ retirement funds, including personal 401K’s, are doing well. No real guarantee the Market will remain strong if the Socialist Democrats have planned after Nov 3, especially considering all they are telling us they plan to do to create chaos. Voting for Republicans is reasonable insurance for your retirement money.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are not happy about the double standard which the schools allow for the liberals but not for the conservatives. Teachers and Administrators political interests do not belong in the classroom, and then means they do not belong on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook. People working with children need to be publicly neutral.
Nashville has such serious financial problems that the State of Tennessee is warning the State may have to take over control of the City. Nashville is in such bad shape, it decided to increase the property taxes on its residents by 34%. It is threatening to stop much of the needed city services if it doesn’t get it. It is not looking at reducing administrative overhead or other expenses which will not impact the residents as drastically as reducing police, fire, and garbage. Would you stay?
Jim Caviezel talks about how the media used to talk about being patriotic and to have concern for Americans being held hostage by our national enemies, such as Iran. He further talks about how our churches are being shut by American governors, denying people their First Amendment rights to attend the religious center of their choice. What is going on?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the quote “a Harris Administration with Joe Biden” and then Joe Biden made the same “mistake”. There are other items they are “proposing” — only they already exist. Why vote for people you know mentally cannot do the job?
Without Law and Order, we really have no society. Fundamental to Law and Order is the Police. There is a reason they are called Peace Officers!
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, strongly believe All Americans need to remember 9-11, the day America was attacked. It is appropriate to fly the American flag, the Thin Blue Line flag, and the Thin Red Line flag. 9-11 is a day of Remembrance for all who lost their lives. It is not a day of protest, as so many professional athletes did. It is also not acceptable to throw two high school football players off the team permanently for trying to honor the Police and Fire Fighters who lost their lives that day.
Stephen Parr looks at the COVID death rates and COVID unemployment rates to evaluate the various Governors’ management of the crisis. Good management must take into consideration all of the various consequences of each decision. Among the overall best are Utah, Montana, Nebraska, Wyoming, South Dakota, Idaho, Kentucky, North Dakota, Kansas, and Oklahoma. The worst are Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Mississippi, Illinois, Arizona, Connecticut, and Nevada.
fans….or former fans. They both have fond memories of watching NFL games as young boys, but such experiences just are not how things are today.
American businesses survive when Capitalism works well. When the Government gets into the business of running businesses, including when it is open and how it operates, it quickly becomes a disaster, as we have been witnessing in 2020. So why would any business, including professional sports, be supporting BLM, which is demanding the removal of police and demanding the overthrow of the capitalist system of business in America?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about posting memes — what is good about it and what is not.
Stephen Parr believes the 2020 Presidential Election will be decided in America’s suburbs because the suburbs now constitute 55% of the voting population. The Democrats have the urban core, and the Republicans have the rural areas. Ben Carson says that 52% of Blacks, 60% of Hispanics, and 62% of Asians now live in the suburbs across the Nation. Our suburbs are more diverse, and have developed personal values more typical America’s middle class. And interestingly, there are more Red States with large minority populations in the suburbs in Blue States.
Those who are new (especially legally new) to a country, such as the United States, are highly likely to smile a lot because they are now in a better place to be. But just as importantly, those who are long-term established residents, including those born in that country, tend to use smiling as a way of non-verbal communication. In the end, we are much more likely to be happy……provided we all interact in our big melting pot of human cultures.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the Power of Fear and how the Democrats are using fear to try to get enough votes to get power back in the Senate, the House, and the White House in this upcoming election. The problem is the Democrats are the Party of Projection…..whatever they are accusing the Republicans of doing, they are either already doing or are planning to do themselves. The Democrats are running on domestic terroristic fear!
Remember how Patriotic we all were after being attacked on 9-11? What happened to that? Can we get it back?
Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are very troubled by the video (out of Canada) forcing a Mom to put a mask on a 19-month old who was not willing to do it. How many of us moms have ever had problems keeping shoes, socks, and even underwear on babies and toddlers? Besides, we keep being told COVID is not routinely spread by small children. What has happened to "human being common sense"?
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about a current Gallup poll of American industries which shows a substantial shift of how Americans view those industries as compared to last year. Sectors which pertain to our food supply are higher, and healthcare improved even more. The worst were the Federal Government and the Sports Industry. Big Pharma and the Legal field didn’t do much better.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about Democrats at the National, State, and local levels talk about the importance of “equal pay for equal work”, but they don’t do it with their own employees.
Governors and Mayors, working together, can either enhance economic growth or hurt it. For states which have a number of different cities which provide economic growth and opportunity, they are able to handle economic crises better than states which are too economically dependent upon only one city. Louis Avallone explains how extremely dependent the entire State of Louisiana is on Mardi Gras and other festivals for its economic security.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are so pleased Ivanka Trump held her own when appearing on “The View”. Joy Behar challenged her to take the COVID-19 vaccine first, and Ivanka said she would…..on “The View”. Will Joy and the others go along with it?
In this combined Bright Spot and Moment of Whoa, Stephen Parr discusses how the Bible explains Socialism, with its downfall, and Capitalism, with its ultimate good for Nations.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the problem of governmental officials just continuing to borrow money so they can spend more money…..money they, personally, will not be responsible for ever paying back. If just borrowing money would solve our local, State, and National problems, then we should be in great shape, considering how much debt the cities, States, and Federal governments now have.
Be very careful about the Democrats using emotions to get your votes. There is a long history of their “selling emotion” which has not made American lives better….going back as far as LBJ and his “War on Poverty”. Instead, take the time to look at the results of the past 4 years. Donald Trump has cleaned up a lot of Democrat mess, and the Democrats are really angry about it.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, believe people are supposed to be tolerant and respectful of each other, even in regards to political points of view. If you don’t like what someone else is posting, just scroll on. But at a certain point, there is no reason to continue being tolerant of intolerant, disrespectful people. At that point, unfriending is a good idea.
In this segment of Digging Deep, Stephen Parr goes over the statements being said by key Democrats about the outcome of the November election. Just as in 2016 where they were prejudging Trump with the Russia, Russia, Russia mess, they are doing it again. They have some pretty aggressive plans in store, all of which are not Constitutional. Unless the votes for Trump are so totally overwhelming that even the main stream press cannot deny the obvious, we are in for a rough post election period.
President Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Why and what are his chances of winning it?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr analyze why there is so much fear in America today. There was a time in America when fear was confronted with strong willed, American determination. Today, in too many segments of American society, there is too much cowardness being shown towards what is causing fear. Fear is a natural emotion; but how one responds to fear is a potential problem, both on a personal level and on a National level. The left is deliberately causing violence for the purpose of creating extreme fear in otherwise rational Americans as a form of intimidation just before this Presidential Election.
Based upon how so many Democrat Governors and Mayors have been behaving all year, Louis Avallone is concerned that this very repressive, negative, governmentally forced environment will continue through the end of the year. The ultimate consequence will be that small businesses which depend upon consumer spending for the start of school, for Halloween, for Thanksgiving, and then for the Holy Celebrations in December will not be able to survive.
Our American Mama, Denise Arthur, is astounded to discover a small hair salon in England was trying to hire a new stylist, and they specified they wanted a happy stylist. The government told them to specify for a “happy stylist” discriminated against “unhappy stylists” so they could not run that employment ad. Denise has a lot to say about the importance of employees being happy when working with others.
As important as it is, the news of U.S. Marshalls rescuing 72 missing children at risk in the human trafficking problem doesn’t seem to be getting enough headlines right now. Of course, this news reflects well on law enforcement, which the national media is not interested right now.
This is the 3rd Anniversary of American Ground Radio. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about why they started the radio show, their goals, and how they hope American Ground Radio has benefited its listeners.
REPLAY: Our American Mana, Denise Arthur, talks about following Hurricane Laura online and on the Weather Channel as she traveled north through Louisiana.
REPLAY: Representative Mike Johnson (LA) talks to Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr about what it means to be a Conservative. He explains too many Republicans in Congress are not well informed of what Conservatism means and what is required of them as “Conservative Leaders”. He calls it “The 7 Core Principles of Conservatism.” They are 1.) individual freedom, 2.) limited government, 3.) the rule of law, 4.) peace through strength, 5.) fiscal responsibility, 6.) free markets, and 7.) human dignity.
REPLAY: Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone review all the promises made by then candidate Trump in 2016 which he actually did do as President.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo is threatening President Trump about his potential safety should he decide to try walking the streets of NewYork City. What has Cuomo so upset is President Trump is fed up with Mayors and Governors not maintaining law and order in their cities. He has issued a 5-page memo, instructing Federal Agencies to look for monies normally going to the cities which can be redirected away from cities which are not making an effort to protect its residents and the properties within the various city limits. President Trump specifically cited New York City, Portland, Seattle, and Washington D.C. as cities not earning the right to such Federal money, although there are others as well.
REPLAY: Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, discuss the Saints wearing the name of Jacob Blake on their helmets. But Jacob Blake has a warrant out for his arrest for domestic abuse and sexual assault. He also had a restraining order against him, and the woman who called the police was the one with the warrant. What is this really saying about the personal values of the professional football players?
REPLAY: It now has been absolutely proven and the facts made public that neither President Trump nor the Trump Campaign colluded with the Russians to steal the 2016 election. So why won’t the Russian Collusion Scam go away? Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone explain why.
REPLAY: Under the Trump Administration, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is changing the definition of the word “habitat” back to what it really is supposed to mean. In 2012, the Obama Administration decided to designate a big section of land in Louisiana to be habitat for the endangered dusky gopher frog. The problem is the dusky gopher frog does not live there, nor could it. The environmentalists’ “land grab” would mean the taken land would have to undergo a number of ecological modifications before the dusky gopher frog could live there, including creating a pond.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how some universities are talking about shutting down campus and going to virtual learning out of fear of maybe getting sick. But is this appropriate? They already took the students’ tuition money, and won’t be returning it. Is this not a “bait and switch”? Fortunately, some universities, such as Auburn, are going to continue the campus experience regardless.
Beginning September 1, payroll checks may be a little bigger because paying Social Security and Medicare taxes will be suspended temporarily. But you need to plan ahead because you just may be required to pay it back in your personal income tax return on April 15, 2021.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, discuss how they cope with all the craziness going on right now. They make a point of recognizing “happy moments” in our daily lives, and they are trusting in their religious faith.
Representative Mike Johnson (LA) talks to Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr about what it means to be a Conservative. He explains too many Republicans in Congress are not well informed of what Conservatism means and what is required of them as “Conservative Leaders”. He calls it “The 7 Core Principles.” They are 1.) individual freedom, 2.) limited government, 3.) the rule of law, 4.) peace through strength, 5.) fiscal responsibility, 6.) free markets, and 7.) human dignity.
Do you want a Constitutional Republic or Socialism? Do you want Law and Order or Tyranny and Chaos? Are you concerned about the long-term safety and security of yourself, your family, and/or your job? Those issues are what this upcoming election is really about!
Contrary to what the media says, 72% of blacks are satisfied with their local police, and the Rasmussen’s latest tracking poll says President Trump’s approval rating among likely black voters is at 41%.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are quite unhappy with Gov. John Bel Edwards for not allowing high school football, all with the “justification” of COVID. At least 20 states have let high school ball return to a sense of “normal”, including Southern States with Republican Governors. Louisiana has a Democrat Governor, and no high school ball.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone take a look at how the Coronavirus works inside your own body to make you sick and how your wearing a mask during a period of high infections in the community will give your body a better opportunity to fight off the virus before it can really make you sicker than you need be.
Jason Whitlock, of Outkick.com, wrote an article entitled “Big John Thompson Proved Winning Advances The Cause Of Black People More Than Whining”. Big John Thompson transformed Georgetown basketball and gave its players huge opportunities going forward, including Patrick Ewing. In the article, Whitlock said, “Whining and begging for the love and empathy of white people will never liberate and empower black people. Success will and does.”
This November 3 election is not about electing Donald Trump or Joe Biden to be President. It is entirely about what form of government do you want for yourselves, for your children, and for your grandchildren. Whether you like him or not, Trump is the only vote that will save our American Values, our Rule of Law under the Constitution (as written) and our Freedom Loving Way of Life.
Because Texas has so many Electoral College votes, a large voter fraud problem in Harris County (Houston) might be enough to flip Texas blue and cause Donald Trump to be defeated. Fortunately, the Texas Supreme Court ordered a stop to Harris County sending out ballots to every registered voter in the County. But the election officials for Harris County were definitely determined to push the issue. THIS is just an example of the problem. Still reason to be concerned everywhere.
Washington, DC, all the political elites has it “pretty good”. But just like the Principal showing up, President Trump came in and did exactly what he said he was going to do…..all the “stuff” both Democrats and Never-Trumpers always promised to do just to get votes. Denise says voters need to stop being pawns. They need to start digging in and getting their information for themselves, soaking up true facts for themselves like sponges do water.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone review “the American Dream” — what is it really? No, it is not about “getting stuff”. It is something much more important. It an opportunity to achieve the greatness within yourselves. Too much of our government doesn’t remember that any more.
Under the Trump Administration, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is changing the definition of the word “habitat” back to what it really is supposed to mean. In 2012, the Obama Administration decided to designate a big section of land in Louisiana to be habitat for the endangered dusky gopher frog. The problem is the dusky gopher frog does not live there, nor could it. The environmentalists’ “land grab” would mean the taken land would have to undergo a number of ecological modifications before the dusky gopher frog could live there, including creating a pond.
Because of a shortage of Shreveport Police Officers, as of September 1, 2020, the Shreveport Police will not be handling the following in person: Private Property Accidents, Parking Complaints, Ungovernable Juveniles, Animal Complaints, Message and Delivery, Complementary Rides, Civil Matters, Child Custody Disputes, Thefts under $1,000 of Property, Drug Related Complaints, and COVID Complaints.
The Broken Window Theory, which was a major part policing in the 1990s and especially in New York City, indicated that as the appearance of a neighborhood deteriorates, the amount of crime will go up. This included both the condition of physical buildings and the activities within the neighborhood. Until about 2015, crime was on the decline in the major cities.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterland and Denise Arthur, discuss the Saints wearing the name of Jacob Blake on their helmets. But Jacob Blake has a warrant out for his arrest for domestic abuse and sexual assault. He also had a restraining order against him, and the woman who called the police was the one with the warrant. What is this really saying about the personal values of the professional football players?
It now has been absolutely proven and the facts made public that neither President Trump nor the Trump Campaign colluded with the Russians to steal the 2016 election. So why won’t the Russian Collusion Scam go away? Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone explain why.
CSPAN did a very good job of covering the conventions. It was the only place viewers could go and watch the speeches without anchors continually interrupting or the network completely cutting out. After the speeches were complete, CPAN has a call-in segment where viewers can call on a Democrat or Republican phone line and express their opinions. What was unusual were the number of Democrats calling in to say they were leaving the party and would be voting for Donald Trump.
Kamala Harris said that rioting, looting, and burning will not going to stop before the election and it won’t stop after the election. What is she really saying? Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr debate the probable outcome of the Presidential Election.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterland and Denise Arthur, discuss the reasons behind Kellyanne Conway’s decision to leave her position on the White House Staff and tend to her family now.
There are a few Democrats who are realizing the rioting and looting in Democrat cities are not good for the Democrat Party. Democrat Tennessee State Representative John DeBerry Jr. is one. He made a very well thought out speech on the floor of Tennessee State Legislature denouncing the violence. But the ones who control the Democrat Party today probably are not listening. Earlier this year, the Tennessee Democrat party decided John Berry was not a “good Democrat” and removed him from the ballot after 26 years of service because he voted with the Republicans too often on abortion and school choice.
And Fake News Friday!
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how Pelosi and the Democrats are not in favor of Joe Biden debating Donald Trump. She wants the Press to be doing “the debating” for Biden instead. What if Trump was not willing to debate Biden? Would that be OK with the Press?
Our American Mama, Denise Arthur, talks about following Hurricane Laura online and on the Weather Channel as she traveled north through Louisiana.
Abby Johnson is a pro-life activist, who previously worked for Planned Parenthood, discussed her experiences being part of daily abortions until she just couldn’t do it any more.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone review all the promises made by then candidate Trump in 2016 which he actually did do as President.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the problem of letting politics get into the middle of and interfere with work responsibilities. The extremely wealthy athletes are not being financially hurt by not playing ball. Their “protests” are similar to children who are just “acting out” because they were not getting their way.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about how disrespectful Bette Midler has been of the First Lady. Fortunately, people are responding back. These same “haters” even attacked Melania Trump for how she was dressed. Petty and disrespectful.
Stephen Parr reports two very important problems with the news media and the death of George Floyd. The first is the Medical Examiner’s Autopsy says Floyd actually died from a fatal level of fentanyl in his system. Furthermore, Floyd did not die from asphyxiation caused by the police. He had no “damage to his airways or thyroid, brain bleeding, bone injuries, or internal bruising,” Secondly, no National New Media is now correcting their news report to reflect now known facts. At least American Ground Radio does!
Stephen Parr believed it is important to have good knowledge of weather, especially when conditions become life threatening, such as tornadoes and hurricanes. He has a free service online at https://www.facebook.com/StormGuides/, which he activates and broadcasts live during dangerous weather conditions.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are not pleased to now have evidence, located by KTBS, of a second traffic stop involving Mayor Adrian Perkins. Even though Perkins had been interviewed twice after this second now known traffic stop on June 12, 2020 at 6:46 am on Clyde Fant Parkway, he continued to only admit to the one stop on April 5, driving the wrong way on Crocket Street. Why lie about something like this? Why would Perkins lie at all? As a West Point Grad, he knows the Honor Code and the Cadet Prayer.
Politicians who are not honest create a huge distrust between themselves and the voters. When a politician tells constituents something which is definitely not true, how can the voters trust that politician are working on behalf of their best interests? The military cannot operate if there is a problem of not being able to trust the information being received either up or down the Chain of Command. Mayor Perkins knows this.
Our American Mama, Denise Arthur, watched the Democrat Convention last week and now is watching the Republican Convention this week. She explains the Democrats chose to ignore all the rioting, looting, burning, and human destruction going on in Democrat controlled cities every night, and instead went with “diversion tactics” to distract people from the truth. The Republican Convention is showing American the true reality, from Law and Order problems to success stories, such as Senator Tim Scott’s family going from cotton pickers to the Halls of Congress.
Because she is not getting her way on mail-in ballots, which has a very heavy history of enabling voter fraud, Nancy Pelosi resorted to calling President Trump and his supporters in Congress "Domestic Enemies”, implying they are “enemies of the state”. Stephen Parr discusses how this kind of untrue, hateful rhetoric endangers lives. Rep. Steve Scalise is a classic example. Also, where is outrage from the media?
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about the importance of having good mentors and a positive mindset in determining your ability to achieve the greatness within you.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr compare the topics which were and were not present in the Democrat Convention last week with what they anticipate to be included in the upcoming Republican Convention which starts shortly after our show tonight.
Our American Mama, Denise Arthur, talks about Facebook’s strange and unequal censorship of Conservative posts, but not equally done to liberal posts.
Stephen Parr explains the Trump Agenda (objectives), published as his goas for his second term, is just 2 pages of bullet points — very easy to follow and understand. Furthermore, they are specific and measurable. Comparing Trump’s statement of goals to the Democrat’s, Stephen said the Democrats platform was about 94 pages long, full of paragraphs and “fluffy language”.
Kimberly Klacik is the Republican candidate for Maryland’s 7th Congressional District in Baltimore (which was held by late Rep. Elijah Cummings). Being a Black Conservative Republican, she represents a demographic the liberal Democrats cannot effort to allow to become strong. The Baltimore Sun published a vicious attack on her, and she is fighting back.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the current mental and emotional state of Americans today. So many are physically or emotionally exhausted. In May, the Census Bureau reported the number of Americans showing signs of clinical depression or anxiety was about 1 in 3. The Pew Research Center reported in June that 71% of Americans were angry about the state of the country, and 66% are fearful. We need to remember that Fear is the opposite of Faith.
Louisiana is giving pay raises to State employees, while so many people in Louisiana are either shut out of their jobs or have lost jobs altogether because of Gov. Edward’s ongoing shutdown. This is exceedingly unfair.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville, explains American Mamas are tired of having governmental officials dictating how their children will be educated. They believe it should be their choice as the parent to decide if their children will be taught in the classroom or on line. Teri believes we are going to see the effects of what has happened to the children this year in the future. For so many children, school is where they are safe, fed, and secure.
The five states with the highest level of unemployment right now are Nevada (24.2%), Hawaii (19.9%), California (17%), Louisiana (15.9%), and New York (15.3%), Democrat led states all. This is not about COVID. It is entirely about the state government’s response to COVID. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss it in some detail.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the charitable trends of Americans, even during economic hard times.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are very clear President Trump is not dismantling the American Post Office. This is another Democrat made up attack, just like the Russian Collusion hoax was. It is a Democrat ploy to try to force the entire Nation to have to vote by mail in November. Yes, the Post Office is removing obsolete machinery — because it is obsolete, and not because President Trump told them to do it.
Do you believe the Post Office is in such trouble that Hollywood celebrities need to volunteer to work at the Post Office to keep the mail flowing? Cher apparently does according to her Twitter Feed.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville, talks about how in the middle of a “Stop the Violence Rally” in Shreveport, shots were fired nearby. “The Devil is busy,” and it is time to bring God back into the streets of our neighborhoods, into our schools, and into our government. We need to find community and government leaders who have the backbone to come in and forcefully clean up this social mess.
Stephen Parr actually read the Democrat Party platform. One significant point he found is they do not mention God (meaning any deity or creator, as referenced in the US Constitution) in their platform at all, even though their speakers would end their speeches with “And God bless America”. Stephen provides a summary and analysis of their platform.
Deborah Bell led the “Brownsville Conservative Pride Drive rally recently. They couldn’t have a rally because of the COVID restrictions, but they could have a “drive” by event. It was well received, and Ms. Bell encourages other communities to hold “Conservative Pride Drive” rallies as well.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the Democrat Party’s “Infomercial” Virtual Convention which is not getting good ratings at all — down more than a quarter to almost half of what it was in 2016 for the first two nights. They discuss why that might be, and included Obama’s speech in 2008, which Stephen concluded was “a little bit of Reagan, a little bit of Lincoln, and a lot of Stalin”.
Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards has made it clear he wants a lot of the November election to be done by mail-in voting, which has repeatedly been proven to be very problematic in having a fair and honest election. The Secretary of State has proposed increasing the number of early voting days and expanding those hours to enable people to vote safely; but Gov. Edwards is against that. The Democrat Party is the party of projection; so when they say something they are either already doing it, or they have already done it, or they are planning on doing it. If Gov. Edwards tries to change Louisiana Election Law just by issuing an Executive Order, he will be behaving like a dictator, not the head of Louisiana under its constitutionally established Rules of Law.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville, addresses a listener’s question concerning an instructor at the Iowa State University, who made it clear in her published syllabus, that any student who did not support BLM and abortion would fail her required English class. After a conservative student group make it public, the University issued a statement saying “(t)he syllabus statement as written was inconsistent with the university’s standards and its commitment to the First Amendment rights of students.” In addition, that faculty member was counseled on the First Amendment’s meaning and significance.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about how New York City is in trouble. Almost all of their tax revenues come from the top 1% of the income earners in the City, and it looks like those people are leaving permanently. Many have either moved into the Hamptons area or completely out of State. And many have learned to work from home. The Democrat leadership of the City has mismanaged the finances of the City for a very long time, and now it is running out of money.
The Louisiana Insurance Commissioner, Jim Donelon, announced some of the State’s biggest insurance companies are lowering their automobile insurance rates —Progressive, Louisiana Farm Bureau Group, and State Farm. During this shut down, people are driving less which has them getting into fewer accidents. Tort Reform also has had a lot to do with the rates being able to be lowered because the costs to the insurance companies for law suits has been able to do down. Governor Edwards said this would not happen, and a number of Northern Louisiana Legislators voted against Tort Reform.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how Democrat Gov. John Bel Edwards is determined to force Louisiana have more “voting by mail”, which is proven and well known to enable more voter fraud. Thus, Gov. Edwards has announced he will reject Sec. of State R. Kyle Ardoin’s emergency voter plan, even though it expands early voting days and voting hours. If you can stand in line to shop, you can stand in line to vote.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville, talks about how Michelle Obama pre-taped her Democrat speech, enabling her to be certain it was “perfect”. However, she was blaming President Trump for kids being put in cages when it actually was her husband who had those cages built and the pictures that everyone saw in the news were taken during the Obama administration. The Associated Press (A/P) actually called Michelle out for not telling the truth about this.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone are pleased to learn there are twenty-four Black Republicans running for the US Congress this year. The press doesn’t share this information, and prefers to act like blacks only support Democrats. Stephen has learned these candidates are generally former military or they are either Naturalized Citizens or sons or daughters of immigrants.
Democrat Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, changed his mind about his ban of hydroxychloroquine. Because President Trump had said hydroxychloroquine was a a good, safe drug, Gov. Walz had immediately banned its use in Minnesota….and without consideration of the science behind hydroxychloroquine from the past 50 years. The medical science shows that when hydroxychloroquine is used within the first 5-7 days of the onset of symptoms, combined with zinc and azithromycin (antibiotic), it has effectively meant most patients can avoid hospitalization. Using it immediately upon illness symptoms showing up, the death rate from COVID-19 could have been cut in half…..or about 80,000 lives. Politicians without medical knowledge overruled our American Physicians for surly Democrat political reasons, and people died.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are dismayed that Mayor LaToya Cantrell is asking people in New Orleans and Louisiana to send money to her charity fund and let her decide how to pass out that money to people needing help paying their rent. This is a charity for which there has not been good accounting made public in the past.
Mayor LaToya Cantrell continues to keep the tourism industry shut down in New Orleans, which is seriously hurting both the economy for southern Louisiana and for the entire State of Louisiana. If she doesn’t open up the City soon, the economic damage to the entire State could be severe and long lasting.
Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur, talks about the continued violence in Portland, Oregon where a BLM mob pulled a man out of his truck and beat him unconscious. Someone was videoing this happen, but no one was calling for help. Where are the Patriots in this Nation? The chaos needs to stop. This is really the fault of the leaders of the Democrat Party.
As parents decide whether to send their children back to school or to keep them home doing virtual learning, Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk to Otis Ellis of the Digital Infrastructure Committee of the Shreveport Economic Recovery Task Force, founded by Larry English and Desi Sprawls, about how well prepared parents currently are for home virtual learning. Committee is still collecting data from their survey. Only about half of the respondents say they have adequate internet access to support both virtual learning and parents working from home at the same time. While he hesitates to say taxpayer money would be needed, he explains that Federal money may be available for their hoped-for Public-Private partnership.
Stephen Parr pays sections of Obama’s 2004 Democrat Convention Speech, and compares it to the positions the Democrat Party holds now. There has been a drastic change in a short few years.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how it is governmental employees at all levels, the ones who are making critical decisions about lockdowns and COVID-19 restrictions on the general public, are not personally impacted the same way as the general public is. Government employees are unaffected because they keep their jobs and their steady pay checks no matter what.
EMS workers around the Nation are quoting their jobs because they are afraid of COVID-19. Our First Responders need to be men and women who are dedicated to service and will behave bravely in the face of danger. Being afraid to provide medical care means you are in the wrong job.
Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur, talks about how the residents of Englewood ran BLM out of their community, sending them back into the heart of Chicago. Englewood is a neighborhood district of Chicago, and is about 94% black. Those residents have worked hard to improve their neighborhood and their relationship with local police. They were not about to let BLM come in and destroy all they had worked for and all of their future dreams. Denise is hopeful more communities will do the same with these roving bands of well funded BLM criminal terrorists.
The Democrats in the Congress are holding hostage legislation for another round of Coronavirus shutdown relief because they are demanding the Post Office, which has a huge host of problems already, be given more Federal money, with the idea that the November 3rd election should only be done by mail. The problem with “voting by mail” is there is a long history of problems with voter fraud through the use of mail in ballots.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how the Associated Press (also called the A/P) is not a fair and balanced, factually based news reporting agency. As a reporter, Stephen long ago learned not to trust reports by the A/P, even though probably every daily news reporting source subscribes to the A/P. Louis gives an example of a current A/P story which is factually distorted. Stephen then explains how bias is slipped into written or spoken sentences in a new story by the choice of individual words. Understanding how this is done is important is sorting out the truth of the reported news from bias, intentional or accidental.
Our American Mama, Denise Arthur, talks about the double standard of the NFL regarding player opinions and expressions. A minister from Ohio, who is part of the diversity-solidarity coalition, commented on the post. Denise explained how she handled this discussion. Her suggestions are worth considering in your conversations with others. You can be passionate and still be civil.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the inappropriate comments both conservatives and liberals have had about Kamala Harris ethnic identity and American citizenship status. Instead, conservatives need to focus on her moral and political principles. She is not a moderate at all. Harris is the second most liberal member of the US Senate. She actually is further to the left than Bernie Sanders, who is an established Socialist! Her prosecutorial record shows she is a hypocrite. She prosecuted people for doing things she, herself, admits to having also done.
Do you believe you can control your own happiness? When asked in a survey, 9 out of 10 said yes they could, at least to some extent. There is a lot of bad stuff that happens in life, but how each person looks at it is very important in achieving personal happiness or not. The survey shows it is not education that makes a difference. It is personal attitude. It also is important to not be trying to go through life alone.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr wonder why the Politicians and the press expect the schools to control COVID-19 when the schools have a very long history of not being able to control or stop the spread of lice, flu, pinkeye, or chicken pox? This is a failure to recognize reality! Furthermore, based upon experience from this past Spring, “virtual learning” is not the same as “actually learning” for too many students today. We are expecting teachers to do something they have never been trained to do and something with the majority of the parents also have no prior experience in managing.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville, believes Moms with children at home are getting a bad deal during this COVID-19 environment. They have lost their usual outlets for dealing with the burdens and stresses of the responsibilities of parenting. Moms need time to be around other Moms, and this is no longer available to them.
Stephen Parr explains how cities painting or allowing others to paint the city streets with liberal slogans, such as Black Lives Matter, but blocking opposing views to be painted similarly is a direct violation of the US Constitution. Because the roadways are public property, either no group can paint slogans on the streets or ALL groups can do it. Conservative messages are being forbidden in these cities run by liberal Democrat Mayors, even though the city may have actually paid to paint “Black Lives Matter” on city streets. It is no surprise that law suits are now being filed for violation of Constitutional Rights.
Parents are increasing becoming concerned about all the restrictions public schools are putting in place for this school year because of COVID-19 restrictions. As a result, a lot of parents are considering homeschooling or private schooling when they were not doing so before. Exactly how much of the American student population will shift to homeschooling is not yet clear, but it definitely will increase because of the government restrictions on both the classroom environment and the student extracurricular activities.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr debate the selection of Kamala Harris to be the Democrat Vice Presidential nominee on the Biden ticket.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are very concerned about the cancelling of college football for this fall. It is so unfair to the players, as well as others.
Before going into the “Digging Deep” topic, Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain that Black Lives Matters (with capitals) is the force behind rooting and looting, but they have the blessings of elected Democrats. Until people are prosecuted for crimes, this is going to continue and get worse. Supporting “black lives matters” (with little letters) is appropriate. Supporting lack Lives Matters (with capitals) is supporting criminal activity.
Stephen and Louis then go through the list of speakers at the upcoming Democrat Convention. Is anyone going to learn anything new?
Stephen Parr looks at data from the Heritage Foundation on Defensive Gun Usage. Is it true that "a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun”? The results show that this is indeed true — about 2 time a day in America! In 2019, there were reports of defensive use of guns in all but 3 States. Stephen tells about a mass shooting in Texas that was stopped by “good guys” with guns, only you never heard about it in the news!
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss how the Democrats have been ruling some American communities for the past 20 to 50 years, and not one of those communities is doing better now than when the Democrats took it over. None seem to be thriving! Louis explains that Americans need to start voting according to their Principles (fundamental truths which serve as a foundation for beliefs and behaviors), rather than according to Political Promises.
FEC Commissioner Ellen Weintraub said on CNN there is a "substantial chance” Americans won’t know the election results on the night of Nov. 3. She is anticipating that mail-in ballots will cause great confusion, making the count very difficult in a timely manner.
Our American Mama, Teri Netterville, is extremely concerned about the harm being done to the children by not allowing them to all go back to school full-time. Students are not getting a complete education, and it is more than most parents can handle on their own. The lower income children are getting harmed the most, and they have fewer options. And for children with various learning disabilities, developmental disabilities, or other special one-on-one instructional needs, the harm done to them will be devastating.
When government officials do not respond specifically and timely to public records requests under FOIA, it tends to then leave lingering questions as to why. Is there something being covered up? A New Orleans District Attorney has just been ordered to pay more than $50,000 in penalties for failing to produce information related to a public records request. Maybe someone in Shreveport ought to make certain all public records request response are fully accurate and the non-responses to date be addresses as soon as possible.
There was wide spread looting in Chicago and it all started over a lie. No Chicago police did not shoot an unarmed black teenager. Rather, an adult man was fleeing from the police, and in doing so, he shot at the police, trying to kill them. Chicago police did shoot him in self-defense, but did not kill him. But rumors on social media encouraged people to go downtown and start looting. High end clothing and jewelry stores were wiped clean of product. This is not about people seeking “justice”. These are just people out to steal. And the Soros funded District Attorney has a long history of not prosecuting pretty serious crimes.
Two elderly Portland ladies, one using a walker, defend their residential neighborhood from the black clad, Antifa rioters, with one being doused with white paint and the other being verbally attacked. Both ladies are in their 70’s. They just wanted the rioters to stop doing vandalism.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are wondering why Dr. Theodis Lamar Goree did not provide a warning for parents to consider in making the decision to keep their children at home doing virtual learning this year. It is estimated about one-half of our poorest students will be accessing class only about one day a week. Also estimated, about one-third of families with incomes below $30,000 will not have high speed internet connections at home, and if the family has a laptop or other mobile device, it has to be shared with other family members.
We have Black History Month, African-American Music Appreciation Month, and Black Business Month. Why are we dividing us up like this? Are we not supposed to be Americans first? To make your business successful, it is all about service to your customers. It is not about the color of any one’s skin, be it business owners or business customers. Stop being socialist, using economics to punish people. Use economics to improve the lives of everyone! Shopping based on race is racist.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about the massive drop off of about 300 kids by their parents at a putt-putt/arcade facility. There was no advance warning to the facility owners, so there was no time for them to plan or to get security in place. There is even reason to wonder if this was preplanned because some kids came prepared for a fight. Take your Country back. Take your Community back. And definitely take Your Children back!
Stephen Parr talks about the misinformation being spread by the news media and by the “fact-checkers” of social media. Details are important, and the scientific details are not being reported nor respected. The neutral site Real Clear Politics has reported there have been “53 studies that show positive results of hydroxychloroquine in COVID infections.”
Louis Avallone shares a blockbuster article, published 15 years ago, in Dr. Fauci’s own National Institutes of Health publication which reported “… chloroquine has strong antiviral effects on SARS-CoV infection of primate cells. These inhibitory effects are observed when the cells are treated with the drug either before or after exposure to the virus, suggesting both prophylactic and therapeutic advantage”. SARS-CoV is of the same virus family as COVID-19.
Note that these two drugs really are essentially the same. Hydroxychloroquine is just a more modern, less toxic derivative of Chloroquine.
US Attorney General Bill Barr stopped his motorcade and had them turn around so he could get out and thank some demonstrators he has just passed. They were supporting “Back the Blue” with signs and flags.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss what is Conflict of Interest, and how Conflicts of Interest must be avoided by public officials. But what if someone was City Attorney and is involved in a long-term romantic relationship with a Member of City Council? What if that same City Attorney also is a Commissioner of the Red River Waterway Commission? What if the same City Attorney’s ex-wife is the Chief City Court Judge? Anyone see any problems with this? Does Mayor Perkins have a problem with this? We will see soon enough.
Have Government Officials now gone too far with the mask wearing requirements? Where do the Constitutional Rights of Individuals come in?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are very concerned about the daily health, care, and safety of too many of our children. For so many, school is their SAFE SPACE. They get food, positive attention, and mental development. There are also people watching for children who are being abused.
The reported statistics indicates cancer diagnoses is down in the first part of 2020. If that is because we really have “beaten” cancer, then it is a good thing. But unfortunately, it may mean we just are not getting timely diagnoses because we are not able to keep our routine medical check-ups because of the COCVID-19 restrictions. Cancer cannot be diagnosed virtually very well, and definitely not in its very early stages. Vascular health is also in danger, especially for high blood pressure. Check your blood pressure regularly, and if that top number is over 140, call your doctor and have a conversation.
President Trump has now appointed more than 200 Federal Judges to the numerous Federal Courts across the Nation, however too many Courts are still coming out with rulings contrary to the words written in the Constitution. Because Chief Justice Roberts has a habit of “redefining” the meaning of words, we need at least one more conservative Supreme Court Justice and many more conservative Federal Appeals Court Judges. The only way that can happen is for President Trump to be re-elected to a second term. Your Republican votes are critical in this election.
51% of students in the Caddo Parish Schools are opting to stay at home and learn “virtual”, rather than return to the classroom this fall. There are real potential problems with this. Do all students have good internet connection at their house? Does each student in the household have a personal computer, or is there only one which must be shared with several siblings. It is estimated 75% or the 51% who will not be attending in person will not be signing in daily. This is going to do real harm to an entire generation of young people.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the importance of teachers in students’ daily lives, and they worry this won’t be possible doing vital learning. They are very concerned too many students are only going to learn how not to succeed in life….a very bad lesson to be teaching our youth.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are quite dismayed that people are letting their dogs poop in other people’s yards and not cleaning up after them. And this isn’t the only other thing people are doing.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the FBI data regarding Gun Background Checks. The top three months in history have all been in 2020. Inventory for firearms dealers is very slim, with so many guns on back order. And the minority gun owners is definitely increasing.
Stephen Parr is looking forward to reading a new book, “George Washington, Entrepreneur: How Our Founding Father’s Private Business Pursuits Changed America and the World”, written by John Berlau. Have you ever heard of the “G. Washington” brand? As an international brand, sacks of flour were sold all across North America, in the Caribbean and even in Britain before the American Revolution.
How can Police Chief Ben Raymond look at police video to review it after it had been deleted? Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr carefully go back over the history of efforts by various media to obtain records pertaining to both rumors of Mayor Adrian Perkins being given preferential treatment by the Shreveport Police Department in traffic stops and one particular incident to which Mayor Perkins has publicly admitted to. Stated facts and dates do not add up.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are not understanding how a man from a basement could have numbers in polls saying Biden is going to be our next President. He never had good numbers during the Democrat primaries. But the polls are just like the polls for Hillary in 2016. Teri and Denise are worried about the magnitude of Democrat cheating during the election, however.
Ariana Pekary, former producer for MSNBC, posted in her blog that her former “colleagues are very smart people with good intentions. The problem is the job itself. It forces skilled journalists to make bad decisions on a daily basis.” She further explains every decision made by her superiors was always based which stories would air according to how high their probable ratings would be, and by that alone.
Mississippi is redoing its State Flag. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone go over what makes a good State flag and what does not. State seals are popular and overused, but they are not simple or easy for people to draw.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are wondering if the Democrat Presidential Election Plan is to so mess up the Election to the point no one is able to be declared winner, and then to make Nancy Pelosi, as Speaker of the House, the 46th President. Louis and Stephen have picked up some “chatter” speculating on that very subject.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr continue to explain what would happen if on November 3, we do not have 270 Electoral College votes for any Presidential candidate. Not only is it important to have enough States vote Republican decisively on Election Day, it also is very important to have a majority of Republican Senators.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Stephon Tuitt who refused to knell with team members for the American flag. He explained he was “not kneeling for the flag and screw anybody who have a problem with that. Teri and Denise are concerned the major sports are supporting the Marxist revolutionary BLM, spelled with capital letters. Instead, the sports leaders should be stressing "black lives matter", spelled with all little letters.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the fact that murders have gone up this year, especially in Democrat controlled cities where the city officials are supporting Antifa and BLM, including cutting police budgets and otherwise preventing the police to do their jobs.
We have a Right to Pursue our Health, not a right to Guaranteed Health. What all the governments — Federal, State, and Local — are doing with all the Coronavirus restrictions and shutdowns is trying to guarantee health. That is not actually possible in the first place, and the government does not have the right to try to guarantee YOUR health at the expense of someone else.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr have a problem with Police Chief Ben Raymond’s written reply to KSLA claiming the Shreveport Police Department has reviewed all the records, interviewed the officers, and reviewed 911 recordings, and cannot find evidence for public records requests. Louis and Stephen are finding very strange discrepancies. How can the Chief review records which American Ground Radio has been told do not exist?
Will the Shreveport Police treat you the same way Mayor Perkins said they treated him at around 2AM in Downtown Shreveport going the wrong way on a one-way street? Think you can just shout out your name, and they will go away? Who is not telling the public the truth?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are not happy with how the Democrats behave at Congressional hearings. No one can learn anything if the witnesses are not allowed to answer the questions.
Two different testings of mail-in ballot voting show about 21-22% of tested ballots did not show up on time. This reflects the ordinary failure of our postal system. It doesn’t even begin to reflect Ballot Harvesting nor other corrupt election schemes to steal elections through fraud.
The Caddo Parish Commission pays tribute to Louis “Luigi” Avallone for his long service to the community and expresses its great sorrow over his passing. Stephen Parr hands Louis Avallone the Resolution on air.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discusses who is really running Shreveport and they do not seem to know. Is it Adrian Perkins, Henry Whitehorn, or no one? The city is in trouble on so many levels, and so many very knowledgeable, experiences top city management personnel are leaving.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are laughing at those who are taking President Trump literally when he tweeted that maybe we should move the date of the Nov 3 election. He cannot do that. It is THE LAW…..”the Tuesday next after the first Monday in the month of November”. But the Democrats are looking for ways to create chaos in the election.
Stephen Parr explains why it is important to be very careful about reading headlines. He cites a headline saying 60% of all restaurants have close due to the pandemic. That is not true. Stephen explains 26,160 restaurants in the United States have closed, with 15,770 closing permanently. He then explains we have 660,000 restaurants in the Nation, meaning the number of restaurants which have permanently closed is closer to 2% rather than what that headline said. In Louisiana, however, losing restaurants is especially critical because Louisiana dining is a major reason for Louisiana tourism.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about a series of videos interviewing former North Koreans who have escaped and at some point came to America. They all commented on how friendly Americans are. One commented on how jealous she was because Americans have dining tables. Another mention how Americans can choose any hair style they want. Yet another mentioned how many different races America has.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss how the nationwide shutdown by Governors was done based only on considering the coronavirus disease problems, without regard to all the other consequences of the shutdown to society, to the economy, and to education. Suicides and drug overdoses have surpassed the death rate for COVID-19.
Cynicism seems to be in the bloodstream of the Democrat party and those who support it. We used to be “I may disagree with you but I will fight to the death to defend your right to say it.” Now it is "I will fight YOU to the death if you dare say something I disagree with."
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about a practicing Houston primary care physician who has effectively treated 350 patients with hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and Zithromax (antibiotic) successfully. Her patients were outpatients in her medical practice, not patients who were already so sick they had to be hospitalized. She has been attacked for her testimony.
The residents of Minneapolis are now having serious because of their politicians’ failure to support the Minneapolis police. This is a model no other city in America should be following. The criminals are getting bold because there isn’t a police presence any more. The city will collapse because people who can move will move. Property values go down and eventually become worthless.
Michael Shellenberger, an environmental scientist, has written a very important new book, “Apocalypse Never”. He explains why environmental alarmism hurts us all. “On behalf of environmentalists everywhere, I would like to formally apologize for the climate scare we caused over the past 30 years. Climate change is happening. It’s just not the end of the world. It’s not even our most serious environmental problem.”
Is Shreveport in the beginning of a possible highly experienced “brain drain” from City Government? Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how there really is not a good way to replace experience and long-term knowledge in any kind of corporate or governmental structure.
A plastics petrochemical plant is proposed to be built in in St. James Parish at a projected cost of about $10 big. What is the problem? That would be a lot of badly needed jobs. Well, instead there is a law suit to stop it. Why is Governor John Bel Edwards not working hard to make this happen? That is his job. Both Governors Perry and Abbott have worked hard doing that for Texas and it has paid off!
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, have little interest in people who cannot even be nice about personal tributes being made about someone who died, especially when it is President Trump’s personal expression of loss.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone explore the problem of how the media use the concept of ‘racism”, especially since so few think race relationships are getting better. To improve race relationships better, we must make race itself less important.
US Attorney General Barr told the US House Judicial Committee things the Democrats needed to hear. The people who get hurt the worst when there is not adequate police protection turns out to be the poorest among us…..the ones who need protection the most. “The leading cause of death for young black males is homicide….around 90% are killed by other blacks.” We must be a Nation of Laws, not of men.
Louis Avallone reports the City of Shreveport’s internal auditor is looking into reports of alleged multiple traffic stops by Shreveport police of Mayor Perkins earlier this year. He says the information the internal auditor is interested in looking at are for the same dates, times, and locations that KTBS says have been confirmed to them by multiple sources. Mayor Perkins told both KTBS and KSLA to go look it up. However, there is something strange about that. Keep listening to Digging Deep.
Louis Avallone talks about the new CDC guidelines which now is saying people with mild to moderate Coronavirus symptoms only have to be in isolation for 10 days and do not need to be retested before returning to work provided the patient has been fever free for at least the past 24 hours.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about how tragic it is to have life threatening crime continue to happen in Shreveport and not to have public cooperation in trying to solve them. This “don’t tell” mentality needs to stop. We must get behind our law enforcement personnel.
You get to hear for yourself the “silence” on the audio turned over to American Ground Radio in response to our FOIA request regarding the alleged Shreveport Police traffic stop of Mayor Adrian Perkins. Why are so many in the Press having trouble getting any copies of Shreveport Police transcripts and/or complete recordings as specifically requested under FOIA?
As Stephen Parr explains, the Second Sentence of the Declaration Independence says government gets its power from “the governed”….meaning We The People. So who is empowering the politicians in the rioting cities who are allowing the rioting and destruction of their cities to continue?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the feelings many in Shreveport have about Adrian Perkins running for the Senate when he was served less than 2 years of this term as Shreveport Mayor. Many who feel very betrayed were originally some of his strongest supporters. The optics were available if folks had looked for them. He didn’t own any property in Shreveport, as his house was in another state. His car was also registered in another state. And the first time he ever voted in Shreveport was to vote for himself.
Our @American Mama, Teri Netterville, talks about what is happening with the name calling from the anti-American BLM movement. It has gotten so bad that we no longer can be quiet. We must speak out, regardless of our race, to fight back and protect our Nation and our way of life.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the criminal behavior of the Chinese, which is committed to spying and stealing from the United States and the rest of the world. President Nixon had hoped by bringing China into the World economic market, it would also help to open up the Chinese nation for the people living there. That clearly has not happened.
President Ronald Reagan declared the Soviet Union to be an Evil Empire, and that declaration finally enabled us to defeat the USSR. Sec. of State Mike Pompeo just did the same thing with the Communist Party of China by calling them liars. It is not exactly the same, however, because China has infiltrated so many different nations of the world. That actually may be helpful, because China is now much more dependent upon the free world than the free world is on China.
In the past decade or so, Shreveport has been losing very good jobs with major companies closing their Shreveport operations. It was very different in the late 1960s when Shreveport leadership worked closely with the State officials in Baton Rouge to provide incentives for the northern Louisiana region. Until the people of Shreveport, who have been victims of the abuse of the Political Class for the past 4 decades, start to say “we deserve better”, change won’t happen. The good news is Shreveporters are beginning to say the people of Shreveport deserve better than what they have been getting.
Our American Mama, Denise Arthur discusses our personal responsibility as parents and as adults to do what is rational to protect our health. Just like with any other disease, especially viruses, when we send out children off to camp, we probably should anticipate they could come home sick. It is time for us to stop being afraid of COVID and start figuring out how to live with COVID.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone look at the rioting and destruction taking place in the largest American cities. He finds some fascinating comparisons between the Republican Mayor run cities, the City Manager run cities, and the Democrat Mayor run cities. The cities with strong Democrat Mayors (no city managers) are the only ones having problem with riots and destruction.
Senator Mitch McConnell gave a speech on the Senate Floor which is very profound. He highlighted a number of critical elements necessary in American Society at all times. As he explained, two things form the bedrock of any open society, Freedom of Expression and the Rule of Law. We must want to protect the free and open discourse of conversation.
Shreveport voters were bamboozled and betrayed by Adrian Perkins. As a candidate, Adrian Perkins assured the voters of Shreveport he was committed to bringing the entire city together to make the city stronger. His history as Shreveport Mayor does not support that outcome. Now, before even completing half of his elected term, he is running for US Senate. Perkins has now proven his coming back to Shreveport was just a stepping stone to go for higher elected office.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr go over all the well established, national level Democrat professional campaign operatives who will be heading up Adrian Perkins’ campaign for US Senate.
Our American Mama, Denise Arthur, pays tribute to Charlie Daniels. It is unfortunate we don’t have enough true celebrities who strive to make other peoples’ lives better the way Charlie Daniels always did. He will be missed.
Since Adrian Perkins said he came back to fix Shreveport, Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone look at all the ways the Mayor has made Shreveport better in his past 1 1/2 years. The only one they can find is Division of the Shreveport residents in ways that has not existed in a very long time.
Newsweek recently published a positive article about Jared Corey Kushner, which Stephen Parr highlights. Kushner has been responsible for the success of Criminal Justice Reform, the New USMCA deal (replacing NAFTA), Mideast Peace, Building the Wall, some specific aspects of the Coronavirus Task Force. Now he is working on President Trump’s Re-election Campaign. Why is he so successful?
Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards just extended Phase 2 for another two weeks, until August 7. 2020.
300,000 unemployed workers will receive their final $600 supplemental payment from the Federal Government. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are very concerned about this entire situation. The government cannot “fix” this problem because the government is the one causing this problem. The way to solve this problem is for everyone to get back to work.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss a number of problems with reporting about true COVID-19 infections and deaths by the various States and the CDC. Some early test kits sent to the States by the CDC were defective, giving false positives. If people die form other causes, accidents, heart or stroke, or unrelated wound infections, for example, too many of those are also being reported as being COVID-19 deaths. Florida has admitted their infection rates has been inflated by 30%.
Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are quite troubled with our culture’s lack of respect for our Elders and what they still have to contribute to our collective society. It is quite important to know their experiences in life while they are still with us because we need to maintain that understanding of our families, our communities, and ourselves.
Stephen Parr gives a number of illustrations of what local law enforcement does in response to local riots and how those responses — or lack thereof — determines what happens going forward. Portland has proven that tolerance of rioting and public destruction will not “eventually burn itself out”. It only encourages even more. In Dallas, however, the Chief of Police says her job is not to make people happy. She further states that her job and law enforcement’s job is to keep the City Safe.
President Trump has issued an Executive Order to exclude Illegal Aliens (people who are not supposed to be in the United States) from the apportionment of seats in the U. S. House of Representatives. This also could impact the Electoral College votes by States. This is most likely going to end up having to be decided by the Supreme Court.
To control crime in Shreveport, we must be supporting our police to enable them to do the job the Shreveport needs done. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss why crime in Shreveport has gone up so much recently. Police Chief Ben Raymond explained the Police Department is short 80+ uniformed police officers, meaning he cannot put enough officers on the streets to better control and to respond to non-violent crime. Chief Raymond also said the effects of stress on the population because of the Coronavirus is adding to the problem.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr point out that crime is not as much a poverty issue as it is a fundamental character issue. They further point out how comparatively speaking to other societies, even America’s poor are better off. They point out that 99% of America’s black men do not commit crimes. In listening to the daily liberal news, it is important to remember this. People of all races really want to achieve the same personal goals for themselves and their families.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about the connection between poor health due to lifestyle choices and the connection to COVID deaths. Why not ban the things that lead to the poor health, such as cigarettes and sugary drinks?
Stephen and Louis discuss a recent study comparing college student debt to college graduate income from a variety of prominent colleges and universities around the country. Why run up more college debt than you could make with your first job’s annual salary? If you like the oceans and traveling the world, is a Maritime Academy on your list of possibilities? Definitely worth thinking about.
For the vast human history, everyone was dirt poor, especially prior to the Industrial Revolution. Today, we try to figure out why people are poor instead of why people are financially successful. The answer is Nothing Causes Poverty. Mankind started in poverty. How many times have you heard “we were poor but didn’t know it”? Jerry Seinfield is reported to say when his children asked him if they are rich, he told them “I am, You’re not.” Being poor is not a victim state. It is where we all start. The question really needs to be “How do men and women prosper?”
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the Baton Rouge Advocate article indicating Mayor Adrian Perkins is planning to jump into the Senate Race against Senator Bill Cassidy. Perkins has admitted he is considering running. Interestingly, a film crew from New York has arrived in Shreveport to begin filming “Perkins for US Senate”campaign spots. Is Perkins one of Bloomberg’s Protégés? Is Perkins going to abandon Shreveport? What has he done to make Shreveport better?
There a lot of rumors being circulating about Adrain Perkins right now, from perhaps special treatment by Shreveport Police to a perhaps run for the US Senate as a Bloomberg Protégés. It is time for him to end his silence on all these matters.
In this segment of Digging Deep, Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone listen to a respected black Portland Policeman take about trying to police his city. This quote is very telling: "It says something when you're at a Black Lives Matter protest and you have more minorities on the police side than you do in a violent crowd," he said. "And you have white people screaming at Black officers.”
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss rumors they are hearing from sources they believe are trustworthy about Mayor Perkins being given special treatment by the Shreveport Police. They are concerned because they are not under the impression Shreveport City Council members or Shreveport residents are receiving the same special treatment.
Since Shreveport is boarding up statues which some people find offend, should we add the statue of “Lead Belly” to the project list? Huddie Ledbetter (“Lead Belly”) was a successful black musician whose songs include “Goodnight, Irene”, “Midnight Special”, “Cotten Fields, and “Boll Weevil”. Louis explains.
Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are very upset over the ambush murder of Jessica Doty-Whitaker, age 24 and mother of a 3-year old boy, because she asserted her belief that “all lives matter” to a group of BLM supporters in Indianapolis, IN. She was shot in the back as she passed by. Her murderer is still at large.
After explaining that Alex J. Washington of the law firm, Washington & Wells, has agreed to suspension of his law license for one year and one day because of problems involving the handling of client money by a subordinate of his, Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr wonder if the law firm of Washington & Wells should continue as the law firm handling Shreveport’s bond issuances.
Stephen and Louis also talk about how other nations have already opened their schools. They look at the data from these schools and conclude children, especially under the age of 10, are not likely going to be getting and spreading COVID-19.
Ivanka Trump, along with Apple and IBM, to promote looking for career fields that do not require a college education. They are doing this through the website www.findsomethingnew.org . Stephen Parr likes this program because it shows there is more than one way to achieve the American Dream.
And very importantly, Stephen provides a tribute to Louis "Luigi" Avallone, Louis’ father who passed away this week.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain how all of the requirements to wear masks, including Louisiana, Caddo Parish, and Shreveport directives, create an unconstitutional violation of The Right to Privacy, specifically HIPAA. Mayor Perkins understands medical privacy as it pertains to him because he has refused to disclose what his medical condition is for his military medical disability….but yet he apparently is disregarding that same Right for residents of Shreveport.
Louis and Stephen continue talking about the Constitutionality of the Right to Privacy. The elected officials who are imposing these requirements probably know what they are doing is not constitutional, and they probably do not care. It probably will take years for all the possible law suits to make their way up the chain of Federal Courts to the US Supreme Court. If the Government cannot do something legally, the question really is “should they be doing it at all”?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talks about how so many Americans are suddenly buying out Goya brand products. This very successful Hispanic company has a history of supporting food banks.
Stephen and Louis look at data regarding the trend in jobs which are disappearing in the United States. Company consolidation and technology are partly the reasons. They include Office Administration Support, telephone operators, transcription services, musical directors and composers, telemarketers (if you can believe that!), and in Louisiana, operations research analyst.
Friedrich August von Hayek won the Nobel Prize in 1974 for Economics. His work in economics was so substantial that President Reagan said this man inspired him. Von Hayek was warning that the Social Sciences cannot be treated in the same way as the Physical Sciences. That is because there are always going to be critical, unknown variables in the Social Sciences. That is what has been going on today with COVID-19, and look what has happened.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how Mayor Perkins is not having a good week. Judge Craig Marcotte issued a temporary restraining order stopping any enforcement, any searches of businesses, or taking any action against Shreveport businesses in regards to Mayor Perkins’ mask order.
Houston's Mayor Turner, a Democrat, allowed 60,000 protesters to assemble on three different occasions without any protections for COVID; but he canceled the long scheduled Texas GOP convention in the same general area of Houston just 5 days before it was to start! Only 6,000 people were to be attending.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talks about a mom, with a child in her car, called 911 because Black Lives Matters protesters were blocking the road and jumping on her car. The Fredericksburg, Virginia 911 operator told her to contact City Hall because the police could not help her. When the public found out about it, City Hall started getting calls!
The City of Seattle held a racial training seminar for its White Employees Only! Astoundingly, such an action is a direct violation of the Civil Rights Act. No employer can base any decisions upon the color of one’s skin. Because Christopher F. Rufo, a documentary film maker and investigative journalist, got ahold of a copy of the materials and shared them on Twitter, Stephen is able to share what was “taught” as well.
Even thought the Caddo Parrish Commission voted to require everyone to wear masks inside all businesses, the ordinance does not site any legal authority that they might have to do this. Even worse, an anonymous complaint can shut down businesses, which also violates the US Constitution. Furthermore, the fines are in violation of the charter, as well, because they exceed the Charter limits.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr continue to discuss the Caddo Parish Mask Ordinance just passed. Somewhat reminiscent of the old German Nazi “brown shirts”, the Caddo Parish now can bypass the Sheriff’s office and legally required due process because they now can hire and use roving “rent-a-cop” militias to enforce the mask ordinance.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about the posts they have been making on their Facebook page and whether or not they are helping their readers. These are on subjects, such as violent crimes, which the press has no interest in reporting. Many of the readers are appreciative of having a news source.
Louis and Stephen visit with Celeste Tatum, owners of Strawn’s Eat Shop Too, about why she had to go backwards to “take out only” as a result of Mayor Perkin’s new mask proclamation. This is severely hurting her business. She is keeping her restaurant closed to sit-down customers because she cannot risk her business license over some random person anonymous reporting something she has no control over.
Stephen shares a not-well-known history about Teddy Roosevelt and how he repeatedly chose those he supported and gave jobs to based upon the content of their character, regardless of their skin color, a long time before it was considered socially acceptable to do so. But ignorant radicals are wanting to tear down his statue.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the legal ramifications of Mayor Perkins’ face mask proclamation. It looks like Perkins is violating both the City Charter and Louisiana Law. Furthermore, what legal protections do the residents of Shreveport have in this power overreach? Is there even a concept of due process for this “new’ crime for not wearing masks?
It does not appear Mayor Perkins has the authority to declare a medical emergency as that belongs exclusively to the Shreveport City Council per the City Charter. It doesn’t appear Perkins has the authority create either a new crime nor the punishment for that new crime. Look them up and read them for yourself. Louisiana Revised Statute Tit. 29, § 737 and Louisiana Revised Statute Tit. 29, § 736
Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are very impressed with White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany. She is smart, well organized, and ready to teach rude reporters how to be better journalists every day!
Louis and Stephen talk with Danny McCormick about how Democrats are using fear and emotion, rather than logic and reason, to govern. Gov. Edwards and local officials are making decisions which are destroying businesses and livelihoods, and are forcing people to die alone because family members are not permitted to be with them. He said that when you are engaging in such destructive behavior, it should not surprise anyone that they are now trying to make people who don’t want to wear a mask become the villains.
On July 8, 1775, the Colonies sent The Olive Branch Petition to King George III in England, hoping to obtain peace with King George III, but it was refused. Instead King George III declared the Colonies as being in open rebellion. The Declaration of Independence was then signed on July 4, 1776. The relationship to today’s events is the Republicans in the Louisiana Legislature could end the lockdowns with their own petition which only needs a few more signatures. Why is it not happening?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are very concerned about the way the Democrat Party and its radical leftist supporters have been behaving. It is ignoring horrible factual statistics about black on black crime, shootings every weekend in its big cities, and trying to wipe out all elements of history related to the Confederacy, the KKK, and Jim Crow. Are they really going to tear down every American Statue the same way ISIS tore down every Roman statue when they went into Syria?
Louis and Stephen are very concerned about what Mayor Perkins has done to every Shreveport business with his proclamation requiring businesses to require all customers to wear masks. Even Governor Edwards said he was not willing to go that far. There is reason to wonder if this proclamation is even legal.
Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, have an intense debate about whether it is better to follow the Mayor’s dictatorial demand to wear masks in Shreveport businesses or protest by going across the Red River to Bossier to shop without wearing a mask.
Do masks work? Not really. A study published on April 9th by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine says ”There is little evidence regarding the transmission of small aerosolized particulates of the size potentially exhaled by asymptomatic or presymptomatic individuals with COVID-19.” Especially useless are homemade masks, which we have been told we can use, because astoundingly 99.3% of particles that size get through a homemade mask!
Congressman Mike Johnson is on the phone with Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr to talk about what he believes Makes America Great! He explains why the self-evident truths in the Declaration of Independence is fundamental to what makes us such a great nation.
Mayor Perkins is outsourcing tyranny to Shreveport’s businesses, and because he is a Harvard Law Graduate, he clearly should know better. How? He has come up with a manipulative way to force businesses to force their customers to wear masks, because it is unconstitutional for him to force it directly. This will be effective until the end of the day on August 8, 2020.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are very concerned about how badly Mayor Perkins will be hurting Shreveport businesses. They also are very concerned some people will deliberately target, video, and then report businesses. What a devious way to hurt your local business competitors.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are extremely upset over the murders of our children, both locally and across the Nation, and no one seems to care. Pay attention people! Black Lives Matters (spelled with capitals) is not concerned about people’s lives. If they were, they would be protesting the black on black murders in Chicago, New York, Atlanta, and elsewhere. BLM (with capitals) is a subversive political movement. ONLY when spelled with little letters can you say “black lives matter”.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone are very concerned about shootings and murders being substantially up in so many of our big, Democrat controlled cities. Before the George Floyd death, shootings and homicides had been going down this year. Louis says it feels like all the violence and community disruption was planned, rather than spontaneous. Because of lack of support from Democrat elected officials, the police are giving up and so many are retiring as fast as they can. Others are looking for other lines of work.
President Trump’s 4th of July speech at Mount Rushmore included a lot of US History, perhaps more than some Americans have ever been taught. As domestic terrorists are tearing down National Historical Monuments, often out of ignorance of who they represent and why, President Trump has decided to build the National Garden of American Heroes.
Astronaut Bill McArthur graduated from West Point in 1973, became a test pilot, joined NASA as a flight test engineer, flew on Space Shuttles Columbia, Atlantis, and Discovery, as well as the Russian Soyuz space craft, and has been on both the Russian Space Station Mir and the International Space Station. COL McArthur explains how astronauts can develop a different understanding of Earth and where they, as humans, fit into the grand scheme of things. Space philosopher and author Frank White called this ‘The Overview Effect’. He also points out that what makes America Great is not necessarily what the country can be, but more what its potential can become.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, discuss what truly makes America great. Teri's family come together every 4th of July for their very large family celebration. Denise describes how all of America’s different parts must come together to make America great, just as with all the very different ingredients that are needed in a recipe to make a great meal.
Tomi Lahren returns to our “What Makes America Great!” annual program and says what makes our Nation great is our American People themselves! “Average Americans” are definitely not average at all. Americans are willing to work very hard, from sun up to sun down. Other countries may have some of this, but not the way America does!
Stephen Parr believes what makes America great is the second sentence of the Declaration of Independence. It is THE fundamental idea of what our Nation is all about. The fundamental purpose of government is to insure this original ideal for We The People.
Louis Avallone believes as Americans go about pursuing what will make them happy, they are making America great. Building a better “you” is critical to building a better America. You cannot build up by tearing down. We have a Republic, “if we can keep it”. The question is “Is it still dawn in America?”
Corey R. Lewandowski, campaign manager for Donald Trump’s 2016 Campaign for President and co-author of “Let Trump be Trump”. He said part of what makes America great is the independent streak of our citizens. This includes our grit, our determination, our history, and our strong resolve,
Alveda Celeste King joins Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr to talk about the greatness of the American people. Dr. King is the director of Civil Rights for the Unborn Child, which is a part of Priests for Life. She is a strong believer that every person and every person’s life matters, from conception to natural death.
Elbert Lee Guillory says the opportunities we have in the United States is what makes America great! His life is proof of this fact when you consider as a boy he was arrested for trying to check out a book from a local public library and when on to become a Louisiana Elder Statesman, including a former Louisiana State Senator and a member of the Louisiana Justice Hall of Fame!
Rear Admiral Barry C. Black serves in the nonpartisan, nonpolitical, and nonsectarian Chaplain of the United States Senate. Admiral Black believes America’s origins make it great. The socio-political founding documents clearly state our Rights are God-Given, for example. The Rights to Worship and to Assemble empower Americans. We do not have a caste system as a result.
Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry joins Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr to talk about the fundamentals of what has made America great, and then he discusses the current challenges facing all of us to keep America great for the future.
LTC Alan West explains one of the most significant aspects of what makes America great is the American Military’s history, starting with the first shots fired at Lexington and Concord, starting the Revolutionary War. Throughout the years, young men and women continue to volunteer to serve in America’s military for the defense of the Nation. They take an oath to defend the Founding Documents of the United States.
C. L. Bryant talks about what makes America Great. Only in America with all the various differences which of our American racial and ethnic “quilt”, can individual people’s stories be told. He explains that slavery did not exist in America for 400 years. It existed for only 89 years in the Nation. It existed longer on the North American Continent, however.
Diamond and Silk didn’t like the media being dishonest about Donald Trump. They decided it was time to start speaking up. What makes America great are the freedoms we have as America. All you have to do is take advantage of the opportunities.
Paris Dennard has a very impressive resume as a GOP commentator, author, and senior communications advisor for Black Media Affairs for the RNC. He says what makes America great is our Constitution which gives us Freedoms and Rights. America is the only country where we can have Black Entrepreneurs, meaning you can come from nothing and become whatever you want.
Leslie Rutledge is the first Republican Attorney General of Arkansas and the first woman to be elected to the office. She also is the first to give birth while in office. AG Rutledge says America is the greatest nation on earth, and it all revolves around our Faith, Family, and Freedoms. She points out that Freedom is not Free, but rather we have to fight for our freedoms, to protect them always.
Paster Brad Jurkovich visits with Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr about the events of his live which impacts him today. He believes we cannot ignore the importance of the spiritual influence in the very beginning of the Nation. Every generation has had to take a stand to protect some important, critical aspect of American values and freedoms. It always takes courage.
Jacquie Baly joins Stephen and Louis to talk about her immigrating from the Caribbean Islands to Houston when she was 7 years old, and how she has personally succeeded in living the American Dream. She has been a Mayor Pro Tem, served under both Texas Governors Perry and Abbott on various committees, is a political conservative commentator for a local Houston television station, and is a professor of political science at the University of Houston.
Louis Avallone and Stephen start off their 4th of July Celebration Week Special with Rick Rowe, News Anchor, Reporter, and Story Teller with KTBS, Channel 3 in Shreveport.
Tucker Carlson joins Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr to explain why the 1st Amendment, especially the Freedom of Speech, of the U. S. Constitution is so critical to the uniqueness of the United States.
The podcast, The Daily Boost, hosted by Scott Smith, is one of the most popular podcasts available. He visits with Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr about how to be motivated from day to day. Smith also believes we should never forget that, in America, everything is possible. “Get out of the vacuum. Don’t think about it. Don’t google it. Don’t talk about it. Go do it.”
Sweet Lou Dunbar, of the Harlem Globetrotters, visits with Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone about growing up in northern Louisiana, playing for the University of Houston, and then joining the Harlem Globetrotters. His life story is an example of what makes America Great!
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are interested in Alan Seabaugh’s efforts to end Louisiana’s COVID-19 State of Emergency. Seabaugh is Shreveport’s Louisiana State Shreveport to the Louisiana Legislature. He has said “It’s affecting churches, it’s affecting businesses, and quite frankly it has gone on long enough.”
Mayor Perkins wants to create an “environmental court” for Shreveport where people could file complaints against neighbors and others for failing to take care of their property. While that may have merit in helping to clean up Shreveport, why is Mayor Perkins not proposing to put this position as the Environmental Court out for competitive consideration for employment. Instead, it looks like he has already decided to give it to Shante’ Wells, one of the city’s official bond attorneys with the law firm of Washington and Wells.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are not really interested in what celebrities (be them entertainers or sports personalities) have to say about current events. They are far more interested in what everyday, hard-working Americans think.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone take about what the Media is supposed to do when they get a story wrong or at least is not completely accurate. Corrections are supposed to be made as rapidly as possible.
Rioters have been wanting to tear down the The Emancipation Memorial, also known as the Freedman's Memorial, of both a freed slave and President Lincoln who is holding the Emancipation Proclamation; but it is obvious they do not know its history. It is a newly freed slave starting to stand up. The statue was paid for entirely by donations from the first wages of freed slaves.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how Louisiana has already “burned through” too much of the allocated funding for unemployment benefits this year, and next year, the depleted funding will have to be made up with increased state payroll taxes, which will hit small businesses the hardest.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about how all first responders cannot do their jobs if the sites are not secured, and they cover it in some detail.
At the end of this segment, Attorney General Barr explains that whether or not those involved in the attempted Coup against President Trump depends upon whether the Republicans or the Democrats win in November. That is one of the most disconcerting things Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone have ever heard.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about a new option to Twitter. It is called Parler, and conservatives are joining it. https://parler.com
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the current Top 3 Things in the News.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, have a lot to say about garage door pulls, fake nooses, and “jumping frogs”.
When just focusing on murder rates, St. Louis (MO), Baltimore, Detroit, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Kansas City (MO), Cleveland, Memphis, Newark (NJ), and Chicago. When your Mayors are overly concerned about being “politically correct”, crime happens and people die. Also, the data shows the cities with City Managers do a lot better at managing crime.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone go over the report of cars.Com about which cars are most made in the USA. The list has some surprising vehicles. Tesla assembles 100% of its vehicles here in America, followed by Ford (79.9%), Honda, Fiat-Chrysler, and Subaru. Considering how the American taxpayers bailed out General Motors during the Obama Administration, it is troubling that less than half of GM vehicles are even assembled by Americans.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr will be watching to see what Mayor Perkins does now that he has control of Mayor Bloomberg’s Instagram Account. They are hoping he will follow Texas Governor Abbott’s example and use it to promote Shreveport and to attract new businesses to the area, especially out of New York.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, knew this was exactly what was going to happen. They even posted it last week. Most COVID testing takes several days to get back, and yet, just one day after the Tulsa Trump Rally, the press has declared the spike in COVID in the Tulsa area is Trump’s fault. The press is not even pretending to be rational any more.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone explain how one of the founders of Black Lives Matters said they are “trained Marxists”. But do most people who are claiming to support the idea of black lives matter understand they are supporting Marxists who are intend upon destroying the Nation, not helping black lives?
Debbie Alexander, of Pray Louisiana, is in studio talking with Stephen Parr about how they pray every Tuesday, from 6am to 6pm, specifically for Louisiana.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the hypocrisy of the Democrats, following the lead of the Marxists and Anarchists intent on destroying the United States, in allowing and even encouraging the complete destruction of all our history — monuments and statues, literary and movie classics, names of everything including food. Silence all dissent. But all of this will not solve a single problem in this Nation, including out-of-control murders in Democrat cities, and too many families without fathers because of our social welfare system.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about the significance of remembering your Father and especially of telling him how important he is to you now. There will be a time when you won’t be able to do that any more.
The University of California System did a study of why minorities were not equally represented in their schools, compared to the population as a whole, thinking the problem was the ACT and SAT entrance exams. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the study’s results, which explains the single biggest factor is because those minorities did not take the appropriate college preparatory high school courses to be eligible to attend California Colleges.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone compare themselves to their dads.
Dr. Theodis Lamar Goree, Superintendent of Caddo Parish Public Schools, thinks he should build the school schedules around the development, testing, and approval of a Coronavirus vaccine. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr see several problems with this idea. First, we do not yet have a Coronavirus vaccine. Furthermore, the CDC says only half of all children receive the regular flu vaccine each year. Can Dr. Goree legally force every student, parent, teacher ,or other school employee to take a brand new vaccine?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about the liberal attacks on what they claim are horrible injustices, only those injustices are part of Democrat history, not Republican nor President Trump histories.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are very concerned about how Democrat mayors are treating their respective members of law enforcement. They have so destroyed morale among their cities’ police departments that those willing to remain employed is dropping rapidly, leaving the residents of their cities with even less law enforcement protection than existed before. These mayors are refusing to make the hard choices required to be good leaders.
Stephen and Louis talk about Senator Tim Scott’s introduced bill to reform law enforcement across the Nation and how very poorly and unprofessionally Senator Dick Durbin treated Senator Scott, the only black Senator in the Congress. Louis explains why Senator Scott is not always treated with the respect he deserves.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about a number of Democrats of the Caddo Parrish Commissioners holding an event in Government Plaza. Louis reports there was no crowd there, only a few reporters. Talking to an imaginary crowd in front of some members of the Press, then what this actually is should be called a political stunt.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the dishonesty in the reporting on the death of Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta. Louis spent a lot of time studying all the video he was able to locate trying to completely understand what happened and why
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about a video they posted on their Facebook page featuring the Coach at Klein Oak High School in Houston, TX. He is providing a very positive “father figure” role for those players, and he is saying the race issues in the press are not going to be able to change the relationships the team already has with each other. The Nation needs so many more of these kinds of leaders for our youth.
The Fortune 500 list of the the largest companies in America is out for this year. Once again, Walmart is #1. Then Amazon, Exxon-Mobile, Apple, and CVS Health. If the Fortune 500 was evenly divided among the states, then every state should have 10. Since California and New York each have 54 and Texas now has 50, Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss why businesses are inclined to remain where they are or why they will move to another state.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are not pleased the Democrat members of the Caddo Parish Commission put so much time and energy into symbolic jesters rather than in “just doing their jobs” of tending to the actual needs of the Parish and its residents.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how the Democrats are not happy about positive news because they believe positive news is not in their best interest. The liberal press keeps telling us there is an increase in the number coronavirus cases, but they don’t add that a major part of that increased count is because of increased testing and reporting.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about the intolerant problem of the extreme left demanding “everyone” speak up supporting their liberal positions, saying “silence is violence”. The behavior is becoming very bullying, and it needs to stop.
Louis and Stephen visit with Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser about the current problems related to Louisiana's tourism industry and what he is trying to do to bring it back.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the sadness, manipulation, and dangers of the Democrats running Joe Biden for President of the United States.
The Caddo Parish Commission keeps proposing and voting on resolutions which are actually more what political pundits do, rather than providing for the daily needs of the residents living and working in Caddo Parish. Is that really the Commission’s job?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are quite worked up over the double standard of the fake news media where they are “reporting” that protesting and rioting will not cause a spread of coronavirus, but attending a Trump Rally definitely will.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone visit in the studio with a Shreveport resident couple about the threats they have received for flying a Trump flag under the American flag on their own flagpole in their own yard.
Ben Carson said we need to stop being offended by history. Facts matter. Context matters. Understanding both is fundamental to understanding history. We need to not be taken in by this “history grievance” movement.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are concerned with the aggressive liberal attacks on everything they can stick any “racial attachment” upon, no matter how far back in history, other than Planned Parenthood. The Cancel Culture is determined to wipe out all Democrat racial history, which really is a major part of the Democrat Party's history.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about the insensitivity of the US House Democrats’ cultural appropriation of the Central Ghana’s Royal Kente Cloth for a political stunt inside the US Capitol Building.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the problems of the Seattle protestors having taken control of about six blocks of an area they are now calling the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. They have blocked the streets of that area, preventing cars from being able to pass through. The “entrances” to this area are being patrolled by armed individuals wearing body armor. The bottom line is this is both criminal and lawless, and neither the Seattle Mayor nor the Washington State Governor seem to be interested in stopping it.
Stephen and Louis play the “Fake New Game”.
Even though it has been minority neighborhoods hardest hit by both the shutdown and then the riots, Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr point out that the Democrats are doing their best to blame it all on President Trump. Walter Williams, an economist who happens to be black, said the true plight of the black community has little or nothing to do with the police nor systematic racism. Instead, we need to hold responsible the people running our big cities.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about the UCLA Professor of 39 years being fired because he didn’t allow his black students (all online classes, so how was he to know who was what ethnic entity?) to skip the final to go protest. The University failed to teach mature responsibility to its students out of fear of the media.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about a new Poll out saying that 72% of Americans have a favorable opinion of their local law enforcement, including 51% of Blacks and 56% of Hispanics. It also included 87% and 66% of Democrats. The support for law enforcement is consistent no matter where you live.
For the first time in history, half of the senior leaders on the National Security Council of the United States of America are women! The National Security Council is the President’s principal forum for considering issues involving overall national security, military, and foreign policy issues key members of the Executive Branch of the White House, including the Cabinet.
Louis Avallone begins the show with a very different approach to the chaos going on in our cities, with Stephen Parr providing balance to the arguments. It is an interesting debate. Listen to the segment which follows to hear the rest of their thinking.
Louis and Stephen agree with the principle that what our tax dollars is used for should be of value to us.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are very frustrated with the inconsistency of what is allowing and is not allowing regarding congregated groups by elected officials. Protesters can be in huge groups with very close contact, but families cannot even go to their own Churches or even to have funerals. Something just is not right.
Angela Underwood Jacobs. sister of a federal officer who was assassinated in a drive-by killing, testified before the US House Judiciary Committee. Her thoughts are worth noting.
Louis Avallone starts the show sharing a proposed City Ordinance, being made by Shreveport City Councilman James Green, which would require very expensive, detailed videoing of every entrance to every business in Shreveport at all times when the business is open, and which would be made available to law endorsement upon request without a warrant. Stephen Parr says this would be a huge overstep of governmental power, violating a number of Individual Rights guaranteed in the US Constitutional Bill of Rights.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, say too much negativity all at once can do damage to your emotional and spiritual health. We cannot ignore what is happening, but we can control how much of it we must deal with every day. Sometimes it is important to just step away from conflict for awhile.
Stephen explains we all must run all political problems through the second sentence of the Declaration of Independence. With George Floyd’s killing, the government failed to do what it is supposed to do…..to protect our rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Unfortunately, too many in government do not understand that.
Giles Paley-Phillips, children’s author, posted on Twitter for suggestions of “best advice in four words or less”. Stephen shares some of the suggested posts.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the reality that more black babies are aborted every year in New York City than are born. This problem seems to be a problem primarily in the black community. The CDC has reported that only 13% of the American population is black, and yet they account for 36% of all the abortions. Hispanics do not have abortions at any near the same rate.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about how to handle wearing a mask for a sustained period of time. There are people who have real psychological problems with having to wear them. Please be understanding.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the proper use of the words “and” and “but”. The significance is profound.
According to a recent Gallup Poll, more American adults say the situation of the coronavirus is getting better than say it is getting worse. Like so much going on right now, the divide is generally along political lines. The Republicans are the optimists, and the Democrat are the pessimists. Stephen Parr explains that electing Democrats will keep you trapped by their fears. Electing Republicans will liberate you. Something to think about.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the problem of Democrat politicians continuing to “rewrite” or otherwise attempt to erase our National history by removing statues, without even knowing the true history connected to those statues.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, discuss how celebrities, who pretend to be other people for a living, are now letting Dr. Fauci pretend to be them in order to tell people “the read truth” about the coronavirus worldwide. How is that working?
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss how Texas is opening with strength. Even Mississippi is completely open. However, Louisiana is not doing well because the state has been slow to open and New Orleans is doing very poorly, as it has been for years. It is all because of the quality of leadership in adjacent states which is lacking in Louisiana and New Orleans.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about the importance of expressing yourself to your friends and neighbors. It is a good story.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the problems of Louisiana insurance being so expensive. It hurts residents and it hurts all businesses. Vehicle insurance is the second highest in the Nation, because the legal system is so messed up. Louisiana Senate Bill 418 was supposed to solve the problem; however, that bill might actually cause even more personal injury law suits to be filed. Louis explains.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the tragedy of anarchists using the wrongful death of one black man to create situations where other innocent, law abiding Americans are also killed, and their deaths ignored.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville shares her experience listening to a Division 1 Basketball Coaches Zoom broadcast where the subject was talking about the issues of race and conflict on all sides.
Louisiana State Representative Alan Seabaugh talks with Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr on the phone about the mess up with the insurance reform bill which the Governor is saying he will veto.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about how the press misrepresents the violence that is repeatedly shown on television and cable news. Yes, Antifa hates law enforcement because they are stopping Antifa from achieving their goal of total National anarchy. But most blacks are not supportive of anarchy.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the liberal controversy over President Trump walking over to the historic burned St. John’s Church to express his clear support for Religion, in spite of the rioters burning the Church and in spite of so many Democrat Governors banning Church attendance.
Our American Mama, Teri Netterville, talks about how to handle posts on social media in a supportive and positive way.
All of our political thoughts must be able to run through the filter of the Second Sentence of the Declaration of Independence. If it cannot, you need to figure out why not. After all, it is idea that America was founded upon.
Stephen and Louis highlight positive events in these difficult days involving our law enforcement personnel which are not being shown over and over on the news, but really should be.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the hypocrisy of so many Democrat Governors ticketing and arresting peaceful citizens just trying to provide for their families, and yet they are not arresting and holding in their jails all the violent criminals tearing up their cities.
Our American Mama, Teri Netterville talks about the hard conditions we are enduring together, regardless of our ethnic backgrounds.
There are things going on in these riots that we do not fully understand or have complete facts about. What you are seeing online and on television is only part of the story, and eventually, we may learn we are not aware of the real story. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone go through a number of reports by appropriate officials describing the degree of apparent organization across the Nation regarding both violent behavior and weapons. Even the very liberal Southern Poverty Law Center has had to admit they have seen no evidence this rioting is being done by any white supremist groups.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss Whoopi Goldberg’s troubled question about what is the end game. Most people on the left and most people on the right do not believe this rioting, looting, and burning is acceptable.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the reality that people no longer seem to say “it’s a free country”. Why is that?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, discuss how Kathy Griffin keeps bringing major trouble upon herself because she does not seem to know how to control either her actions or her speech. As Denise explained, “When you have that much botox, it is hard to keep your mouth shut.”
Ronald Reagan said “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.” This has never been more true than it is today, and the reality should hurt our hearts. We have three generations who have taken it for granted, and may be about to lose it forever.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about how we didn’t hear about the mass shooting in Kansas because a GOOD GUY stopped it….with his truck on a bridge. Thank goodness!
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the historical reality of whenever the “professional race hustlers” Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton show up into a troubled situation, things go from bad to worse rapidly. It is important to remember that the men and women in any area of law enforcement willingly put their own lives on the line every day to protect the people of the United States in all of our communities. While there may be a few bad cops scattered in their midst, almost all are there for the correct and commendable reasons.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, understand the frustrations being expressed by so many; however, rioting, looting, and destroying other people’s property is not the way to win people over to your side. Justice in the United States has a legal process which must be followed, and it is not instantaneous. It takes time.
Social Media management is heavily liberal oriented, and as a result, they are not handling their "fact checking" of posts for liberals and for conservatives equally. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss how known untrustworthy information goes through on liberal posts, and President Trump's posts are now being "fact-checked" as being false, when it actually is true.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss a lawsuit in Illinois where the presiding judge declared that “Americans don’t get ruled.” He cites some huge inconsistencies in what the various governments are doing today, which fall under the heading of “ruling the people”.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the problem of the emotions which are tied to the terrible death of George Floyd.
Louis and Stephen discuss the way people are responding to what the liberals are calling “our new normal”. Stephen explains the “new normal” term really means “abnormal”.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are very troubled by the death of George Floyd.
Stephen and Louis discuss the details of the corruption of the Obama Administration towards President Trump’s legal transfer of power. The Obama Administration claimed President Trump would be a threat to democracy. Wrong. It turns out the Democrat Party is the actual threat.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about what Mayor Perkins and Governor Edwards have been saying about the coronavirus conditions and what is being disclosed by cell phone tracking across the Nation. Louisiana was scored with an F for the last month for staying home. So why is it the coronavirus numbers are going down?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are not impressed with the Democrat double standards, especially as it applies to sexual misconduct.
Stephen and Louis talk about the inappropriate actions by government officials to take away Liberty from non-sick people while not protecting the lives of the vulnerable, especially the elderly. It is a terrible situation that must never happen again.
Scott Tarkowski of Mimic ( https://themimicapp.com/ ) joins Stephen and Louis to talk about the work he does at Mimic to help small business.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss Presidential Candidate Joe Biden’s remark this morning, “if you have a problem figuring out if you are for me or Trump, then you ain’t black”. Apparently Joe Biden thinks all black Americans are somehow required to vote for him.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, suggest we do something special for someone else during this Memorial Day. We have had a tiny taste of what our military personnel in family separations during this pandemic. Find a way to appreciate those we have lost and those who are serving.
Stephen Parr digs deep into the unemployment data for the month of April, with Nevada, Michigan, and Hawaii being the highest. Tourism being completely shut down has done huge damage, as was automobile manufacturing. Eight out of ten have Democrat Governors. The “best” unemployment rates were Connecticut, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Wyoming.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss why people decide to live outside the city limits, and why they are not happy about the government wants to control what they do on their own property.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, discuss Nancy Pelosi’s and other liberal politicians’ outrageously unprofessional behavior in recent times.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the apparent developing trend of people who sneeze or cough in public being arrested and charged with criminal behavior.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are wondering why the liberals are wanting to keep everything either shut down or under tight controls for the next many months. The best explanation they have is if everything is open and back to normal in August, then the liberals lose their argument as to why the Nov 3 Presidential Election should be done by Mail-In Ballot Only (which makes it so much easier for the Democrats to engage in dishonest vote harvesting).
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss data that is now being developed indicating that the National Lockdown may not have actually saved any lives.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk discuss how the government should not be an abusive relationship with the citizens of America.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about the problem of the politicians not supporting the American Businesses and yet they are big supporters of criminal behavior.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the changes in the Democrat Party have caused responsible journalism to start wondering what happened to their Democrat Party.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how humans are not intended to be “kept safe” from all risks. There is no growth staying within your “comfort zone”. We must be able to pursue and protect our “essential liberty”.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur are appalled by the “Trump Death Clock” put up by Eugene Jarecki in Times Square, accusing President Trump of “inaction” in addressing the coronavirus problems in New York. It totally ignores all the delays and missteps made by Governor Cuomo and Mayor De Blasio.
Stephen Parr explains to Louis Avallone why he, Stephen, is now calling for the removal of John Bel Edwards from the office of Governor. John Bel Edwards has been quoted several times as saying “people need to worry less about their Rights and more about doing the right thing”. The problem is Government Edwards is not as concerned about the Right of the People of Louisiana as he is his power to rule over them, even to the extent of destroying their Rights to Liberty and to the Pursuit of Happiness.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the money wasted building a temporary hospital that was not needed and about how the more money Governor Edwards could find excuses to spend, the more money the Federal Government would give him to find other ways to waste. Why is this seen as good government in Louisiana?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, explain the media is deliberately publishing misinformation about the number of TRUE NEW ILLNESSES. The number used in headlines was simply reporting a backlog of cases that should have been reported a long time ago. As Denise explains, her “rights don’t end at someone else’s fear”.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone site three situations where Joe Biden may be in trouble. Important to think about them.
Stephen and Louis discuss how important church attendance significantly improves one’s quality of life. It also improves the nearby community.
ouis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the impact of raising hotel/motel taxes, thinking those taxes are going to be paid by out-of-towners. Actually, the more you raise those taxes, the fewer out-of-towners the community is likely to get. The City of New Orleans is not doing well, and leadership is not doing well. Does the Governor need to step in and take control?
Some time back, Shreveport voted in favor of the impact of raising hotel/motel taxes, thinking those taxes are going to be paid by out-of-towners. Actually, the more you raise those taxes, the fewer out-of-towners the community is likely to get. The City of New Orleans is not doing well, and leadership is not doing well. Does the Governor need to step in and take control?
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, say so many people are just done with this quarantine, including themselves, their families and friends. The isolation had reached the point where it was becoming a real psychological problem.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the reality that most people are employed by small businesses across America. At this point, all are in very fragile condition. They cannot survive by staying at home.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the reality that everything in life has the potential to be a risk. At some point — and probably pretty soon — more and more Americans will decide they have had enough and decide they are ready to take a risk. Football teams are not going to be playing in empty stadiums. Just not going to happen.
Louis and Stephen are trying to figure out exactly where the line would be drawn for the government to continue deciding what is an “appropriate level of risk” for us Americans to take. Where does it end? When does it end? Where are the limits? Stephen points out defining the “limits” of actions before it becomes a violation of the Constitution is what the US Supreme Court does every day.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur do not think it is selfish to go back to work. Those staying sheltered are expecting others to go to work to support their “stay at home” needs. Why is that not selfish? Teri and Denise have a lot to say about this.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone review what and how Joe Biden said what he said in answering George Stephanopoulos’ question about what he knew and when did he know it regarding the planned “entrapment investigations” of LTG Flynn. Did Biden just admit to being knowledgeable about planned treason on National television?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr still would like to know what the politicians did to consider the potential consequences to the economy when they decided to put the entire Nation into quarantine lockdown. Stephen asked Gov. Edwards office exactly that the day he announced the shutdown, and still has never received any response. All we were told was we had to shut down flatten the curve to prevent our healthcare system from being overwhelmed. Were the politicians deliberately lying to us or were they unintentionally incompetent?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss how when you are afraid, you make bad decisions. The power-grabbing COVID politicians took advantage of this fear, fed it, and now are not willing to give up the power they took from us.
Our American Mama, Teri Netterville shares her Mother’s Day experience this year under the lockdown. For those who could, it was nice to be with family.
Two important quotes: Thomas Jefferson’s “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance,” and John
Adams’ “Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.” Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain that we have indeed have lost liberties. We were not politely asked to go into lockdown. We were ordered by the government.
Kayleigh McEnany was appointed as White House press secretary on April 7, 2020. She has resumed the White House Press Conferences, and the members of the Press have some things to learn and get accustomed to…..such as McEnany being fully prepared for their hateful “got’ya” questions. She skewers them right back in her answers, smiles, and walks out.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are quite appalled by the murder in Alabama. They discuss the issues involved, including the fact that killing other people is just wrong.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss how we now are divided into two camps: the “new normal” group who believe it must be like this forevermore, and the “we flattened the curve so time to get back to living” group. It is important to recognize the reality of Confirmation Bias and how it is impacting people’s thinking.
Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur and Teri Netterville talk about how the quarantine has impacted family interactions and plans for this Mother’s Day.
Stephen Parr studied the data compiled by SafeGraph which collected the frequency individual cell phones left “home” to determine how well people were continuing to “shelter in place” or not. Comparing that data to the COVID-19 death rate data, it appears the two do not correlate the way we were told it would. Stephen explains that Red States are not staying at home more but they also are not dying more. Blue States are staying home and they still are dying more.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are very concerned about how the Democrats, speaking in very reasonable tones of voice, are informing Americans about how they are going to be “tracked” and or “imprisoned” without their Constitutional Rights of Trial because Democrat Politicians think it is best. A number of very disconcerting examples are provided.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr get into a discussion about overreaching legal behavior by elected authorities involving the opening up of business again. The Texas Supreme Court is having to intervene in the Dallas jailed hair salon owner, and she out of jail while that proceeds. And in the Louisiana Legislature, a bill has been introduced to mandate paid sick leave for all businesses. This would make it even harder for businesses in Louisiana to open back up.
Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur tells Teri Netterville about the trend now to have adult women serving as flower girls in weddings. What’s up with that?
Louisiana Representative Dotie Horton joins Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone on the phone to talk about the events starting to take place in the Louisiana Legislature. She said Governor Edwards has pulled his fascist snitch hotline. She also reports the Legislature was able to kill the bill mandating paid sick leave.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are very concerned about the economic damage being done with the State being closed. Governor John Bel Edwards has a history of been very proud of making people dependent upon government benefits, including the number of people on unemployment benefits right now. But this shut down is killing businesses, including child care facilities. This will make it hard for many mothers to be able to go back to work when work becomes available.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the Democrats’ motivations to keep the economic conditions depressed until the November 3 Election.
Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur shares with Teri Netterville a true story example of lack of appropriate patience by too many Americans these days.
Stephen Parr tells Louis Avallone about an article written by Dr. John M Mandrola, MD, a Kentucky Cardiac Electrophysiology, explaining the coronavirus will still be around in six months to a year. Louis points out that we did the National quarantine to “lower the curve”, not to eradicate the virus. We have now “lowered the curve”. It is time to get back to living our lives.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone are excited about the new Space Force recruiting advertising, and they are very disappointed with the liberal Netflix upcoming sitcom making fun of the Space Force. They much prefer the more inspirational messages such as “be all you can be”.

Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur and Teri Netterville describe the challenges of remembering all the details of the job when going back to work after weeks of being in quarantine. Can you even remember how to get dressed for work any more?
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone analyze the over-reaching and abusive use of power by politicians, from local elected officials to state governors, all of whom turn out to be Democrat. Encouraging people to “report” their neighbors to Communist officials is not how America works.
Medical science continues to work on developing treatments for the coronavirus, all of which is encouraging.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the very threatening declarations being made by both Gov. John Bel Edwards and by the Chicago mayor against anyone — ANYONE — who dares to go against their “stay at home” orders or who tries to reopen a business against their dictatorial orders. To make it even worse, the State of Louisiana has launched a new platform to enable citizens to report businesses which may not be following the rules. The East German Secret Police, known as the Stasi, would be impressed with what Louisiana is doing.
It has been illegal to pay men and women differently for the same work since 1963 when President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act. The US Women’s Soccer Team is incorrect to claim they are not being paid fairly.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur are very excited about the apparent revival of spiritual interest. They talk about a television series, “The Chosen”, which is about the life of Jesus as told by those who knew him. You can find more information at https://studios.vidangel.com/the-chosen
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss a report just out saying China is facing a massive international backlash over the coronavirus. International anger is as high as it was in 1989 during the Tiananmen Square crackdown. The United States is in a difficult position because we have allowed China to get too much control over our Nation. In trying to hold China responsible for this medical disaster, things are going to get “messy”.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone enjoy a number of musical spoofs about our daily lives in this quarantine.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the reality than in almost every State in the Nation, by doing the quarantine “lock down” and preventing people from continuing their normal, routine, and annual medical check-ups, it is highly probable that more lives have been put in serious danger than were saved from the coronavirus with the quarantine.
For every person who had died because of COVID-19, three businesses have died during this shutdown as well. That is an enormous number of people no longer having any employment opportunities. And because of the shutdown, we still have a long way to go to get herd immunity.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur agree with so many people they are ready to walk into a nice restaurant, sit down at a table, be served drinks, rolls, and chips, and order food to eat which they did not first have to cook.
Can Parishes go against Governor John Bel Edwards and start opening up? Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss how the governor plans to use the Fire Departments to enforce his very extreme orders. The State of Louisiana will revolt professional licenses. How dictatorial is Governor Edwards going to be?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr try to figure out exactly what resigning City Councilman Willie Bradford meant when, referring to Mayor Perkins, he said “He’s somewhat inexperienced but I think he can maneuver now that he has (newly appointed Chief of Staff Henry) Whitehorn there.”
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur are quite unhappy with the neighbor who is calling the police out on a young ER physician who is sleeping in a borrowed trailer to keep from taking the coronavirus into his house, exposing his wife and children. They have a lot to say about it!
President Trump says he wants us to get back to get back to our more normal lives. Stephen said he did a Google search and found 1,360,000,000 pages (one billion three hundred sixty million!) of news articles talking about “the new normal”. That is a lot of people telling us to get used to “the new normal”, which is not normal at all.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are unable to explain what Councilman Willie Bradford was thinking at several points during his time running for Shreveport City Council, based upon comments he made at the time about women, as well as why he suddenly quit.
Louis and Stephen try to figure out exactly what resigning City Councilman Willie Bradford meant when, referring to Mayor Perkins, he said “He’s somewhat inexperienced but I think he can maneuver now that he has (newly appointed Chief of Staff Henry) Whitehorn there.”
Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur address the double standard of the media and the Democrat female politicians who were adamant we absolutely must believe accusing women when it was against Justice Kavanaugh during his Senate Confirmation Hearings, even when there was no corroborating evidence to support the sexual assault claims. But now when it is a Democrat being accused, …?
Stephen Parr has been digging deep into Common Core. and found there was never any testing of that educational theory before it was implemented into the National Education System. It was just a theory. Importantly, the driving force behind Common Core was Bill Gates, using his wealth to push this through. Bill Gates is also a huge supporter of the World Health Organization, which we now know protected China and China’s spread of COVID-19 throughout the world. Give it some thought.
The ultimate and supreme law of the Nation is our U.S. Constitution. Government officials do have have any power to grant “We The People” our Rights, and the Government cannot suspend those Rights. Governor John Bel Edwards is essentially acting like a dictator because he is blocking people of their rights without any due process of law, as is required in the Constitution. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss what is going on in detail.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur talk about post they made which attracted hateful trolls from all over the country. They eventually had to take the whole thing down to protect the innocent people who might have stumbled into it.
Councilman Willy Bradford Resigned from the Shreveport City Council effective in two days. In addition, Councilman James Flurry announced he has been diagnosed with an advanced stage of leukemia and will be leaving for treatment at the Baylor Medical Center in Texas. He is remaining on the City Council because he intends to fully recover from the illness. Please remember James Flurry in your prayers.
Drs. Dan Erickson and Artin Massihi made a Facebook/YouTube presentation on the scientific clinical results they found in their Accelerated Urgent Care clinics in Bakersfield California. They are saying the COVID-19 is much more wide-spread than people realize, and the difference between being “locked down” and not being “locked down” did not produce a statistically significant difference in the number of deaths. All scientists need to make contributions from their own data, so different opinions and results can be known to all. Facebook left it up. YouTube took it down.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss our Constitutional Rights, which “We the People” surrendered and which too many elected officials feel entitled to take away. However, AG William Barr has said the Constitution is not suspended even in times of crisis.
Louis Avallone explains Americans are not afraid of getting sick, although they are not interested in dying. The death rate is now extremely low. As Stephen Parr says, the economy has taken such a very hard hit because of how the governments’ reaction to the coronavirus, not because of the virus itself.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur are wondering if the increased traffic in the past few days is because people are no longer finding the quarantine rules reasonable.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone look at the percentage of each State’s budget that could be covered by its “Rainy Day Fund”. Wyoming has 109% of its annual expenditures set aside, Alaska has only 52.6%. North Dakota has 30%, and Texas has 13%. Louisiana has only 4.4% of its annual expenditures in its fund, making it the 9th worst State in the Nation for maintaining its “Rainy Day Fund”.
The Federal Government has no money of its own to give away. It only has the ability to take money from Americans to give to other Americans. Thus “passing out Federal money” to citizens, businesses, and governments is not what is really happening. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain. The only real solution is to get American back to work as fast as possible.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the best and most effective financial stimulus is a job!
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur talk about how this quarantine is causing families to rediscover the love and closeness that perhaps was losing its significance.
Stephen Parr, a former news reporter himself, is highly offended by the Associated Press being so dishonest to mark “Opinion” as “Factual News”. This was definitely not an "America First" article.
The State of Louisiana got a Federal check for $1.8 billion, and now Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are wondering how Governor John Bel Edwards will divide it up. But the States also are wanting the Federal government to give them enough money to cover all their unrelated liabilities which have resulted from decades of fiscal mismanagement to “save” them from bankruptcy. That is not likely.
Councilman Grayson Boucher posted his letter on social media regarding his investigation of the shutting down of tennis courts, both public and private, throughout Louisiana, as Mayor Perkins has done in Shreveport. Apparently, the only tennis courts that have been shut down are in Shreveport.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur give us ideas about how to have “proper etiquette” and other considerate social behaviors while wearing masks where no one can see your face or smile.
Dr. George Merriman, MD, a Bariatric Surgeon in Shreveport, joins Stephen and Louis in the studio to talk about a JAMA report that 94% of all COVID-19 deaths in New York City involved patients who had other underlying health issues in addition to COVID-19.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss issues surrounding the Paycheck Protection Program, intended to keep more Americans working and on the payroll. The banks processed 14 years worth of Small Business Loan Applications in less than 14 days. Even so, too many small businesses are complaining their applications were never processed.
Big business and educational entities might have committed Federal Fraud by claiming they were in serious need of the money. Louis cites a line on the loan application as a potentially serious issue.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur share their experiences buying groceries online to either pick-up at the store or to have home delivered. It works well for some, but not all.
Do Democrats really hate President Trump that much? Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone listen to a number of New Yorkers answering a question along the lines of “Would you make a deal to let the coronavirus be far worse , last longer, and kill more people if it will get rid of President Trump?”
The planet is greener today than it was when Earth Day was started in 1970. The rivers were cleaned up and no longer can catch on fire. Drinking water is essentially safe. Treated sewer water being dumped into the rivers are actually cleaner than the river water itself. And the bald eagle is no longer endangered.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how Americans are beginning to have had enough of the shut-down. Protests are emerging, and a substantial number of Americans are now even wondering how reliable the Experts have been about this entire situation.
Louis and Stephen discuss the push being made by Democrats all over the Nation to make
“voting by mail” the primary way to vote. Voter fraud is heavily associated with voting by mail because it is so easy for the election officials to “lose” ballots they are not wanting to count,
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur talk about the all the hateful replies Denise received in response to one comment she made regarding the “comedy” (or lack thereof) which she had seen on the Late Late Show Host, hosted by James Corbin.
Stephen and Louis look at the recent survey by the National Restaurant Association, saying 97% say sales during the first 10 days of April have been lower than the same time last year, with the average drop in sales being 78%.
Quest Diagnosis is reporting it has tested nearly 1 million people for COVID-19 so far. But now, after adjusting their operations, they are able to test 350,000 in a week, with an average turnaround being less than 2 days. Their ability to do testing is outstripping the Nation’s demand for testing.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are wondering if Governor John Bel Edwards is dodging the issue of his apparent support of abortions which continued under his own ordered to stop all elective surgery for the last several weeks.
Louis and Stephen agree the need to open up elective surgeries was badly needed by so many people in Louisiana; however, not enforcing his own statewide ban on elective surgeries as it applied to abortions was moral cowardliness…..something West Pointers are taught not to engage in at the Academy.
For some, "homeschooling" is going along about as expected, but for others, there is nothing happening at all. Our @American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur talk about their observations of the situation.
Rick John, Attorney at Law in Shreveport, LA, explains that so many of the government orders and health emergency proclamations, may not be in compliance with existing laws, whether or not massive population quarantine is legal.
Shreveport's Mayor Perkins has shut down all tennis courts in Shreveport, including privately owned ones, even though there is more social distancing on a tennis court than there is with 2 men in a fishing boat! But Mayor Perkins has ignored the abortion clinic operating in defiance of the Governor’s order against elective medical procedures. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr find great bias in this behavior.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are very concerned about the Democrats in Congress using this current coronavirus crisis to demand expanded mail-in ballots in exchange for small business loan/grant money.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, share the “double-talk” instructions we have been receiving from “the experts”, who have proven to all of us just how confused they really are!
We made an economic decision based upon a substantially flawed medical computer model which came from a university in England. But no one — NO ONE — looked at an economic computer model to figure out what kind of damage such a shutdown would do before ordering it to be done.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss a web site which appears to have cost the City of Shreveport $300,000 and it only links to other websites … new information provided. Many web sites are developed for much less.
Louis Avallone shares the warning the Shreveport Police will start cracking down on drinking at convenience stores and playing tennis. Having done that, Louis and Stephen Parr move on to talk about the letter Mayor Perkins wrote to the Caddo Parish Commissioners asking for the Parish to give $300,000 “to the cause”.
Democrat Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf has vetoed bills passed by the State’s Republican Legislature to begin opening up some businesses in his state and start putting people back to work according to Federal Guidelines. Instead, he joined a multi-state compact, including New Jersey, New York, Delaware, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, which effectively will keep Pennsylvania shut until New York City is able to open weeks from now.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are very concerned about changes in voting laws and procedures which Louisiana Secretary of State R. Kyle Ardoin is proposing. These could make voter fraud even more of a problem in Louisiana.
The Democrats are using this current coronavirus shutdown as an excuse to completely alter — and effectively destroy — our current system of protecting the “one person, one vote” system of elections. They want no voter ID laws, and they want unlimited voting by mail (which has been proven to be how voter fraud is committed through “vote harvesting”
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, discuss how our young grocery store workers have not had enough life experience to know how to deal with hostile shoppers about the stores being out of supplies. If the supplies are not on the shelves, be nice. It is not their fault. If you have a serious problem, look for a store manager.
Stephen shares some clips of Dan Crenshaw explaining we actually have more options than just the two we have been given so far: to let everyone get sick or to completely shut down the entire economy.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are concerned that Gov. John Bel Edwards is not enforcing his own executive order prohibiting all elective surgical procedures, which definitely includes abortions. In fact, Louisiana abortion clinics to continue operative with such a volume that at least one is booked 3 weeks in advance.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, are not pleased about teachers not setting the proper examples regarding acceptable standards of behavior, regardless of political perspectives.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone are on the phone with Lee Harville, a Caddo Parish Public Defender, discussing the problem of having to either lay off or substantially cut pay for our public defenders during this shutdown. It is another example of Constitutional Rights being in jeopardy.
Atlanta area Georgia Democrat State Rep. Vernon Jones has endorsed President Trump, and the instant backlash from the Democrat Party is vicious. Setting him up as an example, Democrats have called him a traitor and a party embarrassment. Apparently, the DeKalb County Democrat Party Chairwoman, expects absolute ‘obedience’ to what the Democrat Party leaders say.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are very concerned about the Louisiana Schools not reopening for the remainder of this school year. Only some children can learn remotely. This is going to so hurt so many students so badly that they likely will be behind from here on out.
By not providing a full academic year in the classrooms, the students of the poor and working classes are going to be the ones most hurt. Too many Louisiana students are already below grade level in their academic development, and yet, Gov. John Bel Edwards does not have a plan.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about how unusual this Easter Sunday was for everyone. Every family has a story about this year, and everyone hopes next Easter will be a great family and religious renewal.
Liberal power has become excessive and stupid. The Democrat Michigan Governor has decided what items grocery stores can and cannot sell.

The left — and every one has been a Democrat — is using this situation to behave like little tyrants!

The small business comprise about 50% of the jobs in the Nation and pay the majority of the property taxes. Small business must be back up and working by May 1. The other option is to face bankruptcy.
Louis and Stephen are very impressed with U2 Bono’s assessment of the value of America. He says America is not just a Nation. It is an idea….a very important idea, not to be underestimated or ignored. Stephen suggests you read the second sentence of the Declaration of Independence, reading past the dash.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the National Debt and how we are spending money belonging to our grandchildren and great-grandchildren. This coronavirus shutdown and the legislation passed to help our economy under the circumstances just made it a lot worse.
The reported death rate within the Black communities is troubling. It does appear that this higher minority death rate is primarily in our large cities, where we have greater density of minority residents. To some extent, health data based upon race cannot be reported because of provisions of the Civil Rights Act.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about how hugging is emotionally important, especially for women in the South. Men have a similar need to shake hands. We communication so much information through hugs and hand shakes.

Larry English sees a new way to manipulate the City of Shreveport to get what he wants and to make himself and his friends rich.

Dad stood his ground. Son is learning a hard lesson being separated from the family for the rest of the school year.
Stephen Parr explains how Predictive Modeling is developed and why it actually is always flawed. Models can either be very precise or quite accurate, but they are not likely to be both. Being more precise is actually more useful than being more accurate. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 model is not very precise.
The predictive model being used for the COVID-19 infection severity and infection rate did not exist before this all started. It is being developed as we go because this has never happened before. It is necessarily having to be refined as more date is developed and reported. Considering all of this has had to be developed “on the fly”, we are doing rather well.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr begin the show talking about Maslov’s Hierarchy of Needs and how that related to the current sheltering in place to avoid getting ill. Since we are going to this much effort to protect the living, why we don’t make more effort to protect the unborn. The abortion facilities continue to defy the Governor’s orders to postpone all elective medical procedures.
President Trump was correct is suspecting some of the hospitals were having problems with internal theft of inventory. Several arrests at hospitals all across the country.

Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur and Teri Netterville, share ideas about what to watch during this “shelter in place” quarantine period.

Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain the Democrats finally handed over the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate on the very day the very first coronavirus traveler landed in the United States, and then, led by Adam Schiff, spent the next 20 days absolutely failing to provide any good reason to remove President Trump from office. Now Schiff is starting another investigation of Trump — how Trump is handling the coronavirus crisis.
Louis and Stephen look at Texas stopping all elective abortions as part of its orders to stop all elective surgeries until Texas has a good handle on managing the Chinese coronavirus. If law enforcement is arresting ministers who hold large group church services are arrested, why is the still operating, Shreveport abortion clinic not having visits from law enforcement as well?
Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur and Teri Netterville, are very frustrated with the attitude of some that the hospitals are not the center of this coronavirus war zone because the parking lots at the hospitals are not full. Only sick patients can be inside the hospitals, but there is going on inside the walls of the hospital indeed is as big a medical war zone as our Nation has ever seen in the civilian world.

Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur and Teri Netterville, are very distressed everyone is not following the health advisories and government directives to battle the coronavirus. The American people’s corporation is our first line of defense in this. We need to be doing our part.
Stephen and Louis discuss the reported fact that the US Department of Justice is unwilling to prosecute those who do really bad, very illegal things if they are top employees of the DOJ. Department of Justice has forgotten the fundamental principal of the United States is “we are a Nation of Laws, not of Men”.
Mike Rowe says there is no such thing as an essential job because there is no such thing as an unessential job. In order for an economy to work, every job is essential
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about Larry English’s renewed “pitch” in an op-ed in the “Shreveport Times” trying to get Shreveport to give him 82 free acres, etc. He says his “plan” can be “shovel ready” by fall. Ever hear that before?

They say there were clear warning signs which she ignored.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone continue their conversation from the first segment about the coronavirus and eventually how many people will need to become infected to truly have this under control. Most will have little or no symptoms, fortunately. This current “social distancing” is not intended to prevent people from getting ill. It is intended to keep everyone from getting ill all at the same time.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, share their memories of Kenny Rogers.
Onega Ulanova and Matthew Williams of LA New Product Development Team visit on the phone with Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone about a new face mask they just developed in the past week to help protect healthcare givers. Many other professions and industries are also needing these masks. American ingenuity is what will get us out of this current crisis and eventually make America’s economy even stronger.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss how computer based prediction models are inherently inaccurate from their beginnings. Stephen explains the skill of the forecaster requires an ability to understand why the models are wrong and to know how to adjust the forecast to accommodate that inaccuracy. Models are simply tools. They are not prophets.
Denise Arthur is a practicing RN and Teri Netterville is married to an ER doctor.

Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr wonder if all the liberal celebrities who declared they were leaving the country when Donald Trump was elected in 2016 are now glad they stayed anyway.

Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur and Teri Netterville, definitely have opinions about the videos celebrities are putting out right now. Some they really like. Some….nope.
Brightbeam Network, a progressive group, published a report detailing how America’s most progressive educational systems are doing very poorly when compared to America’s much more conservative educational systems, especially for our minority black children.
American Capitalism can quickly shift to help solve the current COVID-19 crisis with quick business restructuring
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the fact that by withholding money to help the American people until the Republicans do their bidding, the Democrats are using this crisis to help advance their fascist goals. This Chinese virus has caused much personal harm to Americans, but the Democrats are not making that their primary objective at this moment. Thus, the Democrats are now actually doing what they falsely accused President Trump of doing when they impeached him.
One of our American Mamas, Denise Arthur, provides a better understanding of the problems our American truckers are having to deal with right now. She knows because her husband is one of those truck drivers.
Even though the liberal media wanted daily Presidential Briefings to be restored, now that President Trump is now holding daily briefings, they now want them stopped. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone think this is because they cannot twist his words to suit their false narratives, but also — and probably more importantly — because President Trump is actually winning. The polls show it.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the similarities between the typical flu and and the coronavirus as far as how the options to manage them. Because we have access to annual flu shots, is there a reason to do community “shut-downs” to deal with the flu in the fall?

Having observed the City Council work session today, Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are thinking it isn’t just people who live east of IH49 and south of IH20 who are unhappy with Shreveport’s current elected officials.

Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain that Mayor Perkins has missed a critical point when he proclaimed that black Shreveport has been expected to play by a different set of rules (but provided no examples or evidence), and that there is an effort by some to strip power away from black elected officials.

Continuing, Stephen and Louis go over the explanation Ben Riggs, Director Of Communications, gave on “Robert and Erin” about the Mayor’s car “double-dipping” issue. How much of that was accurate? Listen and decide what you think.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are wondering why Mayor Perkins thinks the City of Shreveport should hire four (4) different law firms to handle the city’s financial interest in a class action law suit where the the plaintiffs are claiming they were were overcharged commissions when buying financial securities (think Wall Street). The law suit has already been filed by others in New York City, so how much work are these lawyers going to have to do? Three of the four are located in other cities, and one of those is from Memphis, Tennessee. Interestingly, the Memphis attorney is not even licensed to practice law in Louisiana, and the Supreme Court of Tennessee has twice publicly censured this attorney for overcharging clients!
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone enjoy talking about Great Britain’s Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s most famous quotes on socialism.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the origin of the campaign question “Are you better off than you were 4 years ago”, and how the economy has impacted past Presidential Elections.

Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are concerned about a City Council proposal to halt all annexation of lands into the Shreveport City Limits. This proposal probably needs more study and discussion.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks the idea of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps is a joke. Stephen Parr explains that Twitter exploded with very uplifting personal stories about how that is indeed not a joke.
Stephen Parr explains that the world just missed an important Climate Change deadline. All Nations in the Paris Climate Accord, which is about 200, were supposed to submit an action plan on how they were going to fight global warming. Perhaps this is because so many have plans that are not working. However, the United States, which has let the Free Market solve the problem, is actually seeing emissions dropping! We are on schedule to meet our carbon emission targets 10 years early! The reason is America didn’t ban fracking!
In addition to Mayor Perkins' wanting to effectively have complete control over City Finances, he is proposing a long-term contract involving prices for recycling and city water….which would be a windfall for recycling., but no work has been done to determine the ultimate financial impact on the residents of Shreveport in this deal. It just says “TBD”, standing for “To Be Determined”.... Really?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are trusting the majority of the members of the Shreveport City Council are not going to go along with Mayor Perkins’ proposals, which are either really bad ideas or illegal ideas. In addition to Mayor Perkins' wanting to effectively have complete control over City Finances, the Mayor is proposing a long-term contract involving prices for recycling and city water….which would be a windfall for recycling; but there has been no work done to determine the ultimate financial impact on the residents of Shreveport in this deal. It just says “TBD”, standing for “To Be Determined”.....to be determined after the deal is signed. Really?
After watching the Shreveport City Council work session this afternoon, Louis Avallone explains that Mayor Perkins’ planned restructuring of the city’s financial management, which would put him — Mayor Perkins — personally in control of financial matters, would actually be a violation of the Shreveport City Charter. The rules stated in the City Charter are clear that all amendments to the Charter must first be voted on and approved by the residents of Shreveport. Apparently, the Mayor is ignoring the fundamental governing rules as stated in the Charter. Will the members of the City Council go along with him?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr begin this segment talking about the wisdom (or lack of wisdom) for the City to be giving away taxpayer money where they do not have a good measurement of what will actually come back in return. Since that money is going to have to be replaced by the taxpayers, City Council Members should require this information before away taxpayer money to private or to charity entities. Also, there has been a really interesting shuffle in Democrat Presidential Candidate status in the Real Clear Politics poll.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about “Black Leaders” deciding to attack others in the Black Community for being independent thinkers. It is time for skin color to stop being the primary reason for making decisions for the community.
Starting out, Louis Avallone tells us Mayor Perkins is to be featured on “Undercover Boss”, which already has been shot. Well….it seems there is a question about Ethics because some of the people in the video are City Employees who were promised “special gifts”. As Stephen Parr summarizes, “Once again, what we have is the City of Shreveport’s Administration doing something that violates the law as it is written, and they go back after they have already done it and said ‘Hey, can we retroactively make this OK?’ It is what they did with the car, it is what they did with the [sewer] emergency declaration. Here we have a chance to get the City shown on National TV and we can’t even do that right?”
Moving on to good news….Gallup reports 90% of Americans are satisfied with how their lives are going.
After explaining more about both Sherricka Fields Jones job status and Mayor Perkins’ car “double-dipping”, Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about States allowing Illegals to have State issued drivers licenses. But the TSA has been depending upon drivers licenses as identification when flying. They use it to issue pre-screening for re-entry as a “trusted traveler”. Unfortunately, states who issue drivers licenses to Illegals are likely going to be causing travel problems for their American citizen residents because the drivers licenses no longer can be trusted.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr have just discovered some real confusion (at best) involving the current CAO position and the proposed CFO positions. Hopefully, Mayor Perkins will explain in great clarity and detail at the next City Council what is really going on. Too many questions to not have answers to on this City Governance matter.
L’Anne Siba, Executive Director and Founder of Mary’s House, is in the studio to visit with Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone their upcoming event Fête For Life banquet, with all the profits going to support Mary’s House. It is Tuesday, February 11, starting at 6pm, at the Bossier Civic Center. If you are unable to attend, you can make a donation at https://secure.egsnetwork.com/donate/9B0F446D7F59477 .
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about things are good for Americans and America. But Democrats refused to be polite about them. Stephen gives us a list. So who are the Democrats really representing? How can you say you love your Country when you refuse to celebrate the collective successes of your country’s people?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s astounding lack of civility. Rep. Mike Johnson drafted a Pledge of Civility when he first got to Congress. He got almost every person in his freshman class to sign on, and then started getting others to sign on as well. Nancy Pelosi never did. Unfortunately, as Speaker of the House, she is the leader of the entire House of Representatives, including members of both parties and independents.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about a report by TruthInAccounting.Org ranking the the 75 largest cities in the U.S. based upon their debt. Together, they have a lot of debt, $ 323,200,000,000 (that is billion) all totaled together. The “taxpayer burden” is how much each person would still owe if the city sold off every one of its assets to pay its debt. The worst cities are 1.) New York City, 2.) Chicago, 3.) Honolulu, 4.) Philadelphia, and 5.) New Orleans. All have been dominated by Democrat Party politics for decades.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr was trying to figure out why State Rep. Dottie Horton was removed from the Louisiana Legislative Ways and Means Committee, and no reason was given. Was the new House Speaker appeasing Democrats or was it something else? Regardless, this leaves Northern Louisiana with no voice in tax changes.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are trying to understand exactly why Sherricka Fields Jones was promoted to this newly created position, Chief Financial Officer (CFO), for the City of Shreveport when there have been substantial finance management issues under her supervision as Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) in the past year.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk the Super Bowl commercials, including President Trump’s two commercials.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the lies which Pastor Linus Mayes of New Macedonia Baptist Church is using to try to get Council Woman LeVette Fuller recalled because she vote against the Cross Bayou Development proposal. To add to it, Pastor Mayes claimed The Holy Ghost was speaking through him as he talked about wanting Ms. Fuller removed from office.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss that, once again, Mayor Perkins has decided a he will do things his way, not according to the what the laws and ordinances require. This time, he expected to be reimbursed for a car he bought for himself, even though the City of Shreveport had already provided him with a City car. That means last year, he was “double-dipping” on personal transportation.
Pastor Linus Mayes of New Macedonia Baptist Church is so offended because Council Woman LeVette Fuller voted against the Cross Bayou Development Proposal that he says he is starting a recall petition. He says he is doing the will of God. Council Woman Fuller voted according to reasonable economic information and according to the input she received from her constitutents.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr can only explain his behavior by noting on Linus Mayes’ Facebook page, one of his friends is Larry English. [Remember: Other inappropriate, racist remarks regarding this Cross Bayou vote was from Willie Bradford, also a friend of Larry English.]
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss two huge problems currently facing Shreveport, and they point out that Mayor Perkins is either supporting of this division or is remaining silent about it. He could start being the kind of leader he was trained to be as a West Point cadet and be working to make things better. Why isn’t he?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are very distressed over the race accusations which have been thrown around by elected officials and religious leaders this past week because the Cross Bayou binding agreement being voted down. The “deal” was definitely going to be costing millions of dollars to the City. It was a bad economic deal….and not about race.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone report American life expectancy rose for the first time in 4 years. A major reason is a decrease in drug overdoses. Unfortunately, overdoses are still going up in Illinois, New Jersey, South Carolina, and California. There is a reason.
Stephen Parr talks about President Dwight Eisenhower, in 1961, warning that the Federal Grants and Federal Research Contracts were pushing aside honest intellectual scientific research. Universities were becoming too interested in obtaining the Federal money, and who gets the Federal Dollars is decided by bureaucrats. If you want more money, the government bureaucrats better like what you just did.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr believe it is very important to have a full accounting of what the actual status is of the $5,000,000 from the 1996 Bond Issuance, which was supposed to go for a city park. In doing their research, the numbers just do not add up.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about what you would do to help a best friend not lose a lot of money. Seems Larry English is Willie Bradford’s best friend. The Louisiana Code of Ethics requires an elected official to recuse himself or herself from any transaction in which one would have a special economic interest. Louis explains.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how the Democrats did not understand why the American People voted for Donald Trump in 2016. Americans are tired of politicians telling them how to think, what to say, and what to believe. Democrats completely missed the point that “change” must be accomplished one person at a time. It cannot be done by passing laws or creating social intimidation to force change.
Stephen Parr brings us up to date on the status of the new Israeli-Palestine Peace Plan. Interestingly, the Arab World, with the exception of Jordan, Turkey, and Iran, support this plan.
With all the infrastructure problems in Shreveport, why did Mayor Perkins use $466,000 of City money to buy land in the Cross Bayou area in September without the members of the City Council agreeing to the purchase? And was that part of the contaminated land someone is going to have to clean up? Once again, Mayor Perkins has made secret, expensive deals with City money which becomes public much later.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr tells us about another newly discovered “secret” deal done by Mayor Perkins without City Council knowledge. Louis has discovered in June, 2019, Larry English said “Mayor Perkins is assembling the lands along Cross Bayou.” Note the use of the word “is”. Apparently, Mr. English had inside knowledge which the members of the Shreveport City Council, as well as everyone else in the city, did not.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss a recent Gallup poll surveying what Americans do for entertainment.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone bring us up-to-date about the numerous laws being introduced which are not in the best interest of Virginians. They are not even concerned about following important issues of the US Constitution. This is what the mainstream Democrats have become, so be forewarned.
The Cross Bayou Project was not going to solve the rate of poverty in Shreveport. It was not intended to bring jobs to Shreveport. Rather, it was intended to transfer government assets to private entities for the benefit of those private, unknown individuals. The good news is the vast majority of the residents of Shreveport opposed a bad idea, and they make their opinions known to the members of the City Council.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are not happy the Shreveport City Council debate about the proposed Cross Bayou Project has become an argument about race, not about sound economics. This is not good for the future of the city going forward. The vote was finally taken at the end of this segment, defeating the proposal 4-3.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the results of a new Gallup Poll surveying American satisfaction with how things are today. Americans are essentially at the same point as they were are the end of the Obama Administration on 17 points. They are much more satisfied on 8 topics today, and they are much more dissatisfied than they were before. Stephen and Louis explain.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are very upset with Shreveport City Councilman Willy Bradford and his comments at the council meeting. The racial comments were beyond reason. They were so separated from reality. He was mixing racism with economic decisions regarding the very disconcerting issue of Shreveport giving private developers billions of dollars of property and city revenues and getting nothing in return. Stephen plays the clips so you can hear and decide for yourself. We don’t even know the names of the people in this deal! And the name of the entity keeps changing and moving location.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss an opinion written by Justice Neil Gorsuch raising concerns about the increasing tactic by Democrats to “shop” for a Federal Trial Court Judge friendly to their political cause and then issue an Nationwide injunction blocking the entire Federal Government from action. The written opinion is posted just below on the American Ground Radio’s Facebook Page.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about Liberal Judges being hostile to the Federalist Society, which believes the US Constitution. A group 15 judges, drafting a “Code of Conduct”, are attempting to outlaw judicial membership in the Federalist Society. Again….Liberals being intolerant of those who have a difference of opinion with them.

Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the Supreme Court hearing a case out of Montana where donations to scholarships are tax deductible as long as it does not go to a religious based scholarship. Stephen explains this is based upon the Blaine Amendment which was proposed to the US Constitution and failed to pass in 1875. It currently is impacting many states and their various voucher programs.

Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone give us another example of why we need to know our American History and to be teaching it to our children. Did you know France was once pirating our merchant ships?
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about how the Democrats don’t accept the vote of the American Public when they lose. Instead, they just try to change the rules. They do it over and over.
Interesting. At the Shreveport City Council planning meeting today, the City Attorney advised the members of the City Council to not make any comments about matters related to Cross Bayou Development because the City of Shreveport and the Gateway Development Consortium have been sued. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr think there needs to be a very good accounting of the money from the previous bond issue. Things are just not looking like the City has been in compliance.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about how the Obama DOJ engaged in corruption against the American People, especially reporters trying to expose their corruption. How deep is the DOJ corruption when Rod Rosenstein was spied on Sharyl Attkisson several years earlier?

Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about President Trump’s most recent Federal court case victories which the press has not been covering well.

Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the impact of giving tax breaks and other “economic gifts” to big businesses and how it hurts the small local businesses in the process.

Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr tell us about rumors about the number of changes in top personnel. And there are rumors about Willie Bradford considering running for Shreveport Mayor. What is this all about?

Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr have an in-depth discussion about what is needed in Public Education for all of our Nation’s children. Liberals think intelligence is based upon race and statistics, never mind each student’s personal learning skills.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about satire and what satire really is. They especially refer to the Babylon Bee, which says it is “Your Trusted Source For Christian News Satire”.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about The Trump Doctrine: “People that treat us well, we treat them well. People that treat us badly, we treat them much worse than they could ever imagine.

Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the differences between the “feel good” ideas of the Democrat and the “do good” ideas of the Republicans.
Grayson Boucher shares some information Shreveporters will need to think about in the coming months.
Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur strongly support churches establishing powerful security teams to provide for first responder status within the buildings. Churches cannot be “gun free zones”. They explain.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about data to support less people die from climate related matters than in the past 100 years. We need to learn how to adjust to Nature, not try to control it.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss Shreveport City Council’s taking money out of the Designated Riverfront Development Fund and give it to non-governmental organizations, including the Gingerbread House, Shreveport-Bossier African-American Chamber of Commerce, and the Minority Supplier Institute. What do these entities have to do with the Riverfront Development projects? What are the taxpayers getting in return?
There is now a long history of Democrats making terrible accusations towards Republicans. Time after time, we learn it was not the Republican who did it, but rather the Democrats. They think the American people, with the help of the press, are really that stupid.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the current American economic success of the past decade. The last 2 recessions (DotCom and Sub-Prime Mortgage Crisis) were caused by “irrational exuberance”. Is it possible the next one could come from “Opportunity Zones”? There are thousands across the country, just like the Cross Bayou proposal.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how too many of WE THE PEOPLE have lost understanding of what Government’s job is, and in too many situations, it has become an abusive relationship. This often is at all levels, local, state, and Federal.
Politicians behaving badly isn't just a Louisiana problem; but have we become too accustomed to it, as in an abusive relationship? Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about it.
The "I was just following orders" defense does not protect workers, whether government employees or private employees, from knowingly engaging in acts which are against the law. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the problem of abuse of power by making people under your leadership do things which are illegal.....in this case, Shreveport's ongoing Insurance mess.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr believe the City Auditor did a very thorough job in auditing this year’s City insurance mess. The extent to which laws were broken are spelled out for everyone to read about and to follow. They go over the information in detail, extending into the next segment to cover all that is contained in the Auditor’s Insurance Report. Eventually, the voters of Shreveport will have to decide what they think about all the now well-documented lies.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how Baton Rouge has just given away annual tax revenues of approximately $2 mil a year to some developers in their area. The problem is Baton Rouge actually has given away money which would have belonged to another community — St. George! Stephen explains these “public-private” partnerships are really just a scam where the public continues to give private, wealthy entities taxpayer property and money, getting nothing in return.
Of the ten richest people in the world, only one inherited his fortune. All the others built their businesses from the ground up. Stephen Parr explains as long as we have people who are able to “rise up”, the American Dream is not broken. Louis Avallone explains how some poeple need better manners, though.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss a new research paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research about the Minimum Wage and how it impacts small businesses. We don’t want to do things that would hurt small businesses because they generate so many of our new jobs.
Mayor Perkins has announced a study is out showing almost 9 out of 10 homes in the Shreveport area fall unto the classification of being “affordable” for the average Shreveporter. So why would the City be considering being involved with the Cross Bayou Point project design to bring in even more affordable housing when we have so much housing already on the market?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are very concerned that both the Mayor and all of the City Council Members need to now show the Citizens of Shreveport they understand the importance of doing what is morally correct. Until the Citizens of Shreveport believe that, there will remain friction between some of the elected officials and the citizens.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr Talk about how the citizens of Shreveport do not seem to trust City Government. Willie Bradford said at the City Council Meeting, “…if the citizens of this city continue to reject what is good for the city, then we have to live with what the citizens want. We won’t have the city we want and desire as elected officials,…”
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the results of the Shreveport Internal Audit regarding the insurance coverage Shreveport has had this past year under Mayor Perkins. Not good. Not surprising.

Councilman Grayson Boucher has said it is up to the Police Department to decide what is the best location to meet their needs.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss comments in the Shreveport Time made by Mayor Perkins about his first year.
Remember we recently talked about Mayor Perkins’s Administration having already spent $7,000,000 on “emergency” sewer work that was not declared an emergency by the City Council as required by Louisiana law? Also remember the City Council was being asked to declare it to be an emergency some 5-6 months after the fact to protect those who did not follow the law from substantial fines? Well, Louis Avallone reports that it is not on the upcoming City Council agenda as previously scheduled.
Moving on to “Digging Deep”, Stephen Parr explores what Americans still have in common — concern about the National Debt!
Willie Bradford changed his mind about voting on Cross Bayou issue this week, and instead, he plans to postpone the vote until January because wants to make some changes presumably to the legally binding documents he was going to let Gateway Development people draw up along with one of his clerks.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone have another question. How is the thing going to make money? The only sources of money they can find must all come from the taxpayers in the city, the parish, and the State.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are quite amused by an editorial in the Shreveport Times written by Larry English. Apparently, English must not think much of Shreveport. In the editorial, English said the City of Shreveport must learn to follow to model of Medellin, Colombia, if it is going to prosper. Yes, the place where Pablo Escobar, known as "The King of Cocaine" lived and conducted his criminal drug trade. And English didn't stop there either! WOW!
Democrat and constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley testified he does not believe the Democrats have grounds to impeach President Trump. He further added the Democrats will further alienate at least half of the Nation if they continue down this path. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone felt Turley’s testimony was appropriate. They were not happy with Louisiana’s Rep. Cedric L. Richmond from New Orleans, however.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the reality that in the past two years along, 660 companies have left California and relocated in Texas. More than 75 companies have relocated their corporate headquarters to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex in the past 7 years. What does Louisiana need to do to encourage companies to relocate to Louisiana and Caddo Parish?
In direct conflict with the the Louisiana Code of Governmental Ethics, the Gateway Development Consortium invited Councilman John Nickelson to go on a trip to Orlando, FL, apparently to attend a DSL (Major Soccer League, Division 2) conference. They said they didn't know about the Louisiana Ethics Law. Nichelson turned it down.
“No public servant shall solicit or accept, directly or indirectly, anything of economic value as a gift or gratuity from any person who has or is seeking a contractual business or financial relationship with the public servant’s agency.” Councilman Nickelson turned it down, and Councilman Boucher didn’t get an invitation at all.
Just 2 years after the passing of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution granting women the right to vote, Rebecca Felton, a Democrat from Georgia, was named to replace someone who died while in office in the year 1922. But the Congress was in recess at the time.The Governor appointed her because he did not want to appoint anyone who would run against him for the office. The Governor lost the Senate race to Walker George, who then allowed Rebecca Felton to be sworn in for 24 hours before taking the seat for himself.
As long a politicians want to do things that make them “feel good” or “look good”, instead of actually “doing good”, government will continue to do harm. This applies to government price and wage controls. Liberals are pushing as hard as they can to get minimum wage upand housing rent rates down by passing laws, rather than letting the market take care of it. Government price fixing never work, and they actually doing much more harm than good. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain.
A Clint Eastwood movie, “Richard Jewell”, about the security guard working in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics will be out soon. He was the one who found the bomb before the bomb threat was called in and was responsible for starting to clear the area before it went off. Impulsively, the FBI decided it was Richard Jewell who was the bomber, and proceeded to destroy his life.
Sadly, we now know this is way too common for the FBI, especially at the vary top. The Deep State part of the FBI is still willing to cover up its mistakes, even if it ruins honest mens’ lives.
The executive director of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, Peter Lynn, has been making $242,000 a year for the past 5 years. He is very proud of having been able to house about 80,000 people in those 5 years. Of course, during that time, the homelessness problem has gotten much worse. No wonder people don’t trust liberal governments to take care of their basic needs!
Stephen Parr analyzes the inaccuracies of an “impeachment justifying AP article”, and finds it to be totally wrong.
An Associated Press reporter wrote a factually false, 1000 word Associated Press article based upon a 2000 word paper, written by Alexander Hamilton, and the reporter obviously didn’t even bother to bother to read first! It went out every newspaper and local TV station in the country. It isn’t news. It is liberal propaganda and because Americans do not know history any more, they will believe the story is true. That is not what Alexander Hamilton’s Federalist Paper #65 said.
Louis Avallone says sometimes Louisiana sales taxes are not collected from you and when that happens, you are supposed to report that to the State on your 2019 State Income Tax Report. Stephen Parr says the law should make it easy to do the right thing and hard to do the wrong thing. How is that working here?
Stephen Parr points out the #1 job of government is to provide for the life and liberty of its people, which requires providing safety and security for the citizens. Louis Avallone suggests the citizens would be willing to pay the extra taxes to buy and renovate this building for the Shreveport Police provided they knew the money was going to go to that exact project. It takes solid leadership to take an idea and turn it into reality, something Shreveporters still are wanting to see from the people in City Hall.
Councilman Grayson Boucher is going to make a proposal to Shreveport City Council to buy an existing building at 1000 E. Preston Avenue for $5,000,000. This building is across from the new YMCA. It is a Class A office property, easily accessible from I-20 via Clyde Fant Parkway, It has a large conference room, approximately 34,000 square feet in the building, and nearly 300 parking spaces, which is very important to Chief Raymond. This building looks like a police headquarters in a thriving city. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr like this proposal; but they want to make certain this building will be exactly what the Police Department want and can use appropriately.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the problem of today’s culture not having been taught to cope with the things that happen life. They cannot honestly face any thought that differs with theirs. It has destroyed comedy. It is destroying tolerance. It is destroying compromise. It is destroying a belief in the fundamental principles of who we are. The bottom line is “if people cannot control their own emotions, then they have to start controlling other people’s behavior”.
A 2017 University of Chicago study found that their votes of elected officials match up to the wishes of the constituents only about 65% of the time. Our Founding Fathers believed elected officials would do better than this in making political decisions. The most violent, the poorest cities are Democrat led cities and have been for a very long time. There is reason to believe the policies politicians are making not what the majority of their constituents want. Maybe the problem is the people are electing the wrong people.
Louis Avallone says he has it on very good authority that the City of Shreveport has sent out Letters of Intent saying they intend to restore the insurance coverage of at least one of the City’s insurance polities to one of the local insurance companies who was replaced by Roddrelle Sykes just as Mayor Perkins was to take office last year. And no, it does not look like this new contract was sent out to bid, which is how Mayor Perkins justified what he did last year.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are learning more about what the financial burdens would be for the City of Shreveport in this mislabeled “Public-Private Partnership”. It is not a partnership when one entity gets to make and keep all the money (Gateway Development Consortium) while the other entity has to pay for everything (Shreveport).
Caddo Commissioner Elect Jim Taliaferro talks about how his faith and family help him maintain a positive, upbeat attitude enabling him to try to help those less fortunate.

Sarah Ardis, Director of Development and Community Relations for the Shreveport-Bossier Rescue Mission visits with Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone, explaining Thanksgiving is one of the Mission’s biggest outreach activities of the year. They served over 1,000 meals to individuals in need in the community with the help of volunteers picking up the meals, along with maps and instructions, to deliver meals all over the community.
For Christmas, the Mission will need help with Project Mission Tree, where the Mission guests’ gift requests are put on tags for members of the community to fulfill through donation.
The best way to keep up with what the Mission needs is to follow through Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. The website is https://www.sbrescuemission.com/
Stephen Parr tells us a story about the very beginning of America which you may not have heard before, and then he asks why this would have happened.
Our American Economy is doing extremely well. The Trump Presidency is providing an economic boom for so many, especially those who were at the lower rungs of the economic ladder. We have rising stock values, increasing numbers of home starts, and a substantial increase in available jobs. Also important, people are now creating more personal savings, in bank and saving deposits, small Certificates of Deposit, and Money Market funds. Thus the American Money Supply has once again started to increase which is very good for our personal and National economic future.
A lot of people from New York City, representing the Gateway Development Consortium came to Shreveport this week to try to “close the $1,000,000,000 deal” on developing Cross Bayou. That is $1 Billion deal……for them and nothing but losses and risks to Shreveport and Shreveporters. What is truly surprising is that Mayor Perkins and at least 3 members of the Shreveport City Council are even considering this totally one-sided deal at all.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr believe this is too big a deal, too one-sided a deal, and too expensive a deal to let just 4 people make the decision. They believe the citizens of Shreveport should be the ones to make this decision in an election because the negative impact will become their burden if it goes through.
Because American Ground Radio’s broadcast in the first segment was interrupted by a tornado warning for areas outside the Shreveport/Bossier City area, Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr went back over what they were talking about at the time, with a bit of a twist. They are suggesting the citizens of Shreveport ought to vote on this $1 Bil deal where Shreveport gives away taxpayer property and only gets risk in return.
Even though no other President has done this, Stephen Parr found the National Press has not always reported on President Trump’s quarterly donations of his 1/4 of his salary; so in this segment of “Digging Deep”, he shares that information. The Presidency is paid $400,000 a year, making each donation be $100,000.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how Louisiana is now cleaning up its Medicaid rolls now that the elections are over. But be forewarned, special interests now want to increase Louisiana gas taxes to 17%.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr want to know why just 4 members of the Shreveport City Council should be able to just give 100 acres of taxpayer owned land to Gateway Development Consortium. They think this matter should be put on the ballot for the voters of Shreveport to decide.
Stephen Parr shares recent poll numbers from reliable sources showing President Trump has 34% support from Blacks and 38% from Hispanics. Louis Avallone explains the reason the Left cannot let people believe minorities just might be supporting President Trump is because the Left is all about identity politics. The Left is not supporting the idea of being American coming first and the minority designation being secondary.
Louis Avallone tells us Shreveport City Councilman John Nickelson plans to propose additional resources for the Shreveport Police Department in the next city budget. What Willie Bradford thinks about the budget and City debt is hard to know, however. He was completely supportive of the $186,000,000 bond proposal which failed; but he is said he will be cautious about Nickelson’s Police budget proposal because Shreveport must live within its means, so to speak. Stephen Parr points out that Bradford needs to follow that same principle to the Gateway Development of Cross Bayou deal.
Louis Avallone describes the “Deep State” as being a secret group of bureaucrats determined to sabotage the Trump agenda. Stephen Parr tells us, according to Sharyl Attkisson, the impeachment hearings revealed the actual operation of a “Deep State” in the Department of State. They expected President Trump to not substitute his own opinions for what they consider to be their “professional” opinions. Essentially, the Deep State is trying to get Donald Trump kicked out of office because he does stuff they, the civil service bureaucrats don’t like, not because he did anything illegal.
There is a lot that just does not add up with all the proposals coming out of City Hall these days. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are wondering if the reason for the surprise about tearing down Fairground Field in the defeated Bond was because the City needs land to trade for still needed “assembling” land for Gateway Development because the City doesn’t have cash to buy any land, even when it would betaken at 1/3 its fair market value.
Louis Avallone explains Willie Bradford has said he will propose legislation for the City Council to consider, but he has no idea what will be in the legislation. Instead, he is going to let his Council clerk and a representative of the Gateway Development Consortium to write the proposed legislation!
Stephen Parr says “we don’t want corruption and we don’t want people using taxpayer money and taxpayer property to make them a profit where we take all the risk. That’s what we don’t want.”
The Gateway Development Consortium at Cross Bayou proposal, which Willie Bradford and Mayor Perkins have been helping push forward, is very confusing to a lot of listeners, and perhaps intentionally so. Fortunately, Louis Avallone has been using his political and legal knowledge to help sort it all out. Stephen Parr points out everyone in the entire city needs to be carefully watching every tiny detail of this entire Gateway Development Consortium at Cross Bayou proposed deal because there is a lot of stuff that is just not adding up.
The organization, Truth in Accounting, creates a Financial Transparency Score of each of the 50 States to show which of the states are being the most open and transparent in their financial reporting. There are many requirements to have a perfect score of 100. Out of this top 13, seven are red states, 4 are purple, and 2 are blue. This illustrates the fact that conservative principles value transparency while socialist principles do not.
Louis Avallone tells us Eleanor Roosevelt said “Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.” Those on the left only talk about people….about Donald Trump, about conservatives, about “deplorables”. The left is not focusing and debating on issues and ideas which would make America a better place. Stephen Parr further explains the problem the Democrats have with Donald Trump is that he is President.
After two weeks of impeachment hearings, Stephen Parr points out that noting has changed as a result. The American people are no better off or better informed. Louis Avallone explains the reason the Democrats are so upset is President Trump has discovered the “honey hole".
The Federal Government has approved No-Royality or Reduced-Royalty drilling in the shallow waters of Louisiana, which has the opportunity of substantially improving the job opportunities and the overall economy of much of Louisiana. Since Louisiana is #50th in economic growth during the Trump Economy, it is time for Governor Edwards to stop encouraging law suits against the oil industry and give Louisiana a change to take advantage of this potential economic opportunity.
The Perkins Administration is asking the Shreveport City Council to be dishonest in order to “make lawful” something that is not legal. Several months ago, the City spent $7,000,000 in no-bid contracts for “emergency” sewer repairs. An Emergency Declaration must be made at the time there is an emergency, not months later after all the work has been done and nothing was put out to bid. The rules about how emergency declarations work are quite specific, and the word “retroactive” is not part of those rules. The Mayor is expecting the City Council lie to protect him. He should have asked for this over 150 days ago.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the discovery of questionable no-bid “emergency” spending earlier this year by Mayor Perkins of $7,000,000 without the knowledge of the City Council, the press, or the residents of Shreveport. Now, Mayor Perkins wants the City Council to retroactively declare a City Sewer Emergency. If Shreveport was spilling raw sewage so badly that stopping that spillage actually cost $7,000,000, why was that sewer mess not the lead story in all the news shows?
After a quick discussion about a study recently done which is so obvious that we didn’t need to pay money for it, Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about President Trump flipping our Federal Courts of Appeal to the conservative side — meaning they rule according to the actual wording of the laws and the Constitution (Strict Constructionists) and not be “legislating from the bench” based upon emotion or popular opinion.
Merten Reglitz, a global ethics lecturer at the University of Birmingham located in England, has claimed internet broadband is now a human right regardless of who pays for it. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone have a lively debate whether or not this is true.
Stephen Parr has played soccer all his life. Even so, his is not in favor of the residents of Shreveport financing a professional local soccer team. If someone with a lot of money wants to bring in a team independent of the City, then he would be all for it.
The Cross Bayou Development deal is looking more and more like its purpose is to make a lot of money for the Developers while making Shreveport and the residents who live here take all the economic risks. Is it really that one-sided? Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss how Governor John Bel Edwards wants to tell every small business in Louisiana how to run their own businesses, from establishing a minimum wage for Louisiana to forcing them to make public what they pay every individual employee, all for the purpose of eliminating “gender pay gap”. But President Kennedy already made it illegal in 1963.
Rep. Jeff Van Drew (D-NJ) is one of 2 Democrats who voted against the impeachment investigation. Van Drew says there are several issues that could be being done in the House, but are not because of the distraction of this strange impeachment. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone explain USMCA should have been passed last spring, but it still has not been brought up. Operating under NAFTA is that “giant sucking sound” continuing to take important blue collar jobs south. Even the Temporary Federal Government Funding isn’t going to solve any problems because it does not fund the Border Wall, which Congress already approve to be constructed….just did not fund.
Stephen Parr shares the information from a study about the National Media and what the words are following “Trump is……”. MSNBC 81% of the most commonly used phrases about Donald Trump has been negative overall since 2015.
Governor Edwards can say whatever he wants because he knows Louisiana is a very red state, and he has no hope of passing any program which is thought to be extremely liberal.
The bottom line is this: The Cross Bayou Consortium is wanting free land and access to Shreveport Tax Revenues, plus wanting Shreveport citizens to be on the hook to cover all operating losses, just as is the case with the Shreveport Convention Center, only for a lot more money. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss how the citizens of Shreveport will be on the hook for all the Cross Bayou Consortium costs, but they will never be getting any of the profits generated. All the profits will go to the people behind the Cross Bayou Consortium.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk with Joey Durel, former Mayor of Lafayette, about how he developed a different, much more successful way of funding City projects and winning City residents’ trust at the same time. Maybe Shreveport ought to try this approach next time.
Stephen William Dale Shkuratoff is blind, and he recently joined the Facebook site, "Dogspotting Society". He asked for more posts describing the dogs since he cannot see the pictures. Fellow members responded!
Stephen Parr talks about Bill Maher saying “America is a big country filled with millions of people who don’t think the way you do and never will”. They are not going away. Maher is concerned we need to start being more tolerant or we could find ourselves in a second civil war. We need to just agree to disagree.
The NFL scheduled a special tryout for Colin Kaepernick. But instead of showing up at the prearranged tryout site, he suddenly moves it an hour away at a high school. Apparently he didn’t really want a job after all.
The Conservative Kid Growth Kit is a great educational consideration for your youngster or grandchild as a Holiday gift. You can get it at https://www.conservativekid.com/ under "shop".
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain the inconsistencies and mis-messaging done by the Mayor and others in City Hall most likely caused voters to not trust what was really the motivations behind the Bonds. In addition, voters really didn’t know what the Bonds were really supposed to be covering. It was poorly planned out.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the Louisiana Runoff election results, and in the Top Three Things, they talked about the Shreveport Bond Issue that was completely voted down.
The Democrats’ Impeachment Hearings are not working as Schiff had planned. Former Ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, testified, and her answers actually helped President Trump. His daily tracking on Rasmussen has taken him up 5% just this week, meaning since this “public hearing” started. He now has a 50% approval rating. The media, on the other hand, is not doing so well.
Typical of what is happening among Democrats these days, some people looked at social media posts and created “Black Lists” in an effort to try to “boycott” businesses owned by people who went to the Trump Rally. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone said any business that is on such a “Black List” is welcome to advertise on American Ground Radio. And remember, these boycott efforts usually end up boosting conservative businesses in the backlash of reaction once the word gets out.
Mayor Perkins is now saying it was the “rumor mill” saying he kept the Shreveport Police and Fire personnel; however Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain that there was no “rumor mill”. This information was made public by the “fact mill”. What Mayor Perkins did makes no sense in either a legal sense or in a reality comparison.
Don’t confuse the difference between weather and climate. Stephen Parr, an experienced meteorologist, explains the earth is not warming as quickly as the climate models models say it should. It is not warming the way the climate models say it should. The climate models are therefore not accurate. Since 1979, the earth has warmed 1.3 degrees Celsius per century. The Paris Climate Accords are intended to keep the increase no more than 2 degrees Celsius per century. We are doing better than the Paris Climate Accords demand, so what is the alarmists’ problem?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how Mayor Perkins’ saying he has prior military service justifies his decisions. There are many veterans, some with a lot more military service than he, who are very upset with what he has done. Prior military service has nothing to do with it and should not be used as “cover” for bad decisions.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the fact that there is a big difference between conducting an “investigation” where the facts are not knows and the results are yet to be determined and conducting a trial for the purpose of prosecuting someone for known crimes with established proof of evidence. Adam Schiff and the House Democrats under Nancy Pelosi have these two legal concepts totally messed up. So do a lot of National news media, including the Washington Post.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about Eric Holder and Barack Obama are in a campaign to sue all Republican states over redistricting, trying to force the courts to give the Democrats more gerrymandered Democrat Congressional positions. They just gave John Bel Edwards $300,000 to use in these last days to try to defeat Eddie Rispone. They clearly intend to try to take away legitimate Republican Congressional Districts after the 2020 census.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone explain some of Mayor Perkins’ double-talk about why he suddenly refused to let Shreveport Police and Fire participate in providing security for President Trump’s Bossier City Rally. He did, in fact, help provide security at the Monroe Rally just a week ago. If Mayor Perkins’ “justification” is correct, then that means Bossier City, Monroe, Lake Charles, Caddo Parish, Ouachita Parish, and Calcasieu Parish, as well as the State of Louisiana, are all in violation of the same law. That just is not true. So why did Mayor Perkins do this?
Could Mayor Perkins have made Shreveport look any worse? Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr wonder if this was just the Mayor being petty. After participating in the planning, he suddenly blocking Shreveport Police and Fire Departments from supporting Bossier City and the Secret Service in providing security at the Trump Rally tomorrow. The Secret Service told Rep. Mike Johnson this has never happened before. To make it even more unreasonable, Shreveport supplied support for the Monroe Trump Rally just a week ago.
Jenny Arnette visits with Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone about her singing the National Anthem for the President Trump Rally in Bossier City.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss Richard Stengel’s op-ed saying Social Media should now justify banning complete Free Speech Rights. Being part of the Obama Administration, he believes “hateful speech” should now not be protected by the 1st Amendment. But the problem with his proposal is the government would be the entity to decide what was “hateful” speech, and it would essentially wipe out all of our Free Speech Rights under the 1st Amendment.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about Mark Sanford quitting his Presidential Campaign against President Trump after 3 weeks.
Louis Avallone says Mayor Perkins is now claiming his selection of a State censured insurance agent for the City was not doing political favors for his campaign manager’s cousin, Roddrelle Sykes. He wanted to have a black insurance agent and no one else was qualified. Stephen Parr reacts by explaining the West Point Honor Code in some detail.
Louis Avallone tells Stephen Parr he has learned that just before Thanksgiving, Larry English will appear before the Shreveport City Council to ask to have the ownership of the land in Cross Bayou given to the Gateway Development Consortium for free. Complicating it all, English also want a special tax financing district so he can use tax money to do “infrastructure development” of the land. But this special tax status will also allow the Gateway Development Consortium to sell bonds using city tax money as collateral.
Why give away property belonging to the City when the City’s assets do not cover the City’s debts by a billion dollars. That will put the City of Shreveport in even worse financial trouble. Why not have the Consortium BUY that land instead? Don’t make the taxpayers lose money our a deal coming out of New York.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss why Louisiana is #1 in the State Poverty Rate rankings. The number of households in poverty in Louisiana increased 21% since 2016. Louisiana has completely missed the Trump Economic Boom, and that is because of John Bel Edwards’ poor economic decisions.
In her book, ”With All Due Respect”, Nikki Haley writes that she resisted John Kelly and Rex Tillerson "undermining" President Trump in what they said was an effort to "save the country.” She further has stated that if they didn’t like what the President was doing, they should have told the President and resigned. They should not have been working to undermine him.
Louis Avallone reports Shreveport spends 3 times as much as Memphis does on a per capita basis. And Memphis ranks higher than Shreveport in quality of services. Mayor Perkins says there is no place to cut the city budget. Stephen Parr explains Mayor Perkins is making a political statement, not a financial one. Studying the Memphis budget to figure out how to do this better would be a good homework assignment for the Mayor at this point.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr visit with C. L. Bryant about the black community’s increasing support for President Trump and why. C. L. Bryant Is a Founding Member of “Black Voices for Trump” and is on their advisory committee. The founding members of this organization are a group of very accomplished list of leaders in the greater black community of America.
If your budget is a negative $4.4 million, then you are doing something wrong. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the Shreveport Convention Center hotel’s debt financial structure which is not being covered by hotel operating income. In addition, the Convention Center itself is draining about $1.7 million from the River Front Development Fund. Since Shreveport obviously cannot support the debt it has, why does Mayor Perkins think acquiring even more debt is a good idea? We cannot borrow our way out of debt!
Louisiana State Representative Dodie Horton tried to overturn the law making it illegal for First Responders and other Civil Service employees in the past legislative session. She will bring it back up because their 1st Amendment Right of Assembly is being denied.
Amy Blackwell talks about her new book, "Testimony I Never Wanted". She explains how knowing someone else was praying for her impacted her personal decision about abortion.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the truly extreme positions Democrats are trying to push onto American today. In addition, how can John Bel Edwards tell Louisiana voters he is not extreme and still continue to associate with leftist extremists?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the problem of people fighting (and in Boston, dying) over chicken sandwiches. They also discuss the problem of elected officials at all levels not doing the jobs they are elected to do. Why do so many people care more about chicken sandwiches?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr share experiences at the Monroe Trump Rally, with suggestions about attending the upcomingnBossier City Trump rally.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how a permanent “solution” for any Federal money need is not to “tax the rich” because in about 10 years, there will be no “rich”. Then what?
First Lady Melania Trump went to visit, hold, and cuddle babies born addicted to drugs at a hospital in Boston. As she entered the hospital, the nurses all walked out, according to reports. Did they all just abandon these very sick babies just to stage a political protest?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr believe Mayor Perkins not being factually honest in his latest editorial saying Shreveport’s problems are because of aging infrastructure AND depleted resources. Shreveport actually has aging infrastructure BECAUSE of depleted resources. Money otherwise available to the City for expenditures, including fixing the infrastructure, is heavily consumed just by paying interest on already existing debt...35% of all the money in the General Fund, in fact. Borrowing more money is not going to help.
Stephen and Louis are not in favor of the $186,000,000 bond issue in its current form. It can be made better and less expensive.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are live on their cell phones from the arena in Monroe, LA just before the start of the Trump Rally. They are including interviews with Lauren Henson, Christian Smith, and Anna Avalone.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss how the Stocks hit a record for a second day in a row. The reasons are 1.) JOBS, 2.) THE FED, and 3.) CHINA. Stephen goes on to say that if we can keep the job numbers as strong as they have been under President Trump, especially for the Blacks and Hispanics, we can strengthen the American families and thus improve families for generations.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk to Robert Mills about his candidacy for Louisiana State Senate District 36.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the significance of President Trump being more like the American voters than he is a typical politician.
There are a number of groups telling Shreveporters this $186,000,000 Bond on the ballot “is good for them”. But Louis Avallone has discovered they seem to say that, almost word for word, for every bond election. Stephen Parr agrees that there are too many City Hall management issues right now, including still not sending out the water bills correctly. Until the City can do the basics correctly, there is no reason to assume they will not mismanage the $186,000,000, too.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the beginning of early voting for the runoff in Louisiana and what drives motivation to get to the polls to vote. They also play a very dishonest advertising currently being played in the black communities of New Orleans. Stephen makes it clear that John Bel Edwards being a West Pointer knows better than to every be lying to anyone.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about George Soros going around the Nation putting money into local District Attorneys races so he can decriminalize crime! In 2014, the people of California voted for Proposition 47, which prevents DAs in California from prosecuting people for theft under $950. So now the FBI reports San Francisco has the highest number of thefts in the entire country, with Oakland being close behind. Wait until you hear what this has led to! What a mess.
Louis Avallone explains that 35% of Shreveport’s General Discretionary Fund is going to pay interest on previously borrowed. If the $186,000,000 passes, Shreveport will double its bond obligation debt.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk to Wendell Champion about his belief that we need to change how we think abou each other. He believes it is time to eliminate the "minus" and replace it with with a "plus". He believes we need to change our National thinking to being Americans first and then our ethnic identies being an addition to the American melting pot.
Wendell a candidate for Texas Congressional District 18, including downtown Houston. He grew up on welfare as a child and went on to become a graduate of West Point. He is very committed to finding ways to make life better for everyone by giving people opportunities, not handouts.
Well Ronald Reagan seems to have done it again. His library did not get destroyed even though it was surrounded by fire….because goats protected it! In most states, the utility companies and loggers continually clear trees and dangerous brush from around power lines. In California, it is illegal to remove any dead, dangerous undergrowth or to trim back the trees. If you are camping, it is illegal to even pick up dead wood to use in a campfire. California is burning down the entire state just because environmentalists think it will save the habitat of the spotted owl.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the continuing winning of the Religious Rights under the 1st Amendment. Americans do have the right to what they believe is true. We are a Nation of Laws, not of political groups dictating outcomes in violation of those laws. Much of this cultural religious conflict started under the Obama Administration, resulting eventually with higher courts overruling lower courts having ignored the true meaning of the 1st Amendment.
Stephen Parr tells Louis Avallone who the whistleblower is and what all the connections are between and among Biden, Schiff, mutual staffers, and the whistleblower. What a sham!
Louis Avallone tells Stephen Parr about the debate between Eddie Rispone and John Bel Edwards this week, and they talk about President Trump coming back to Louisiana to support Eddie Rispone in the runoff election.
The Mayor has been posting articles he likes on his social media, especially those which are supporting the upcoming bond issue. But Louis Avallone’s article about problems with the bond issue has not been shared by the mayor. Stephen Parr says it would be nice for the Mayor to represent all of the people, but it won't happen.
Louis Avallone talks about the outrageous behaviors of the current Democrat Party, both at the State and National level. Stephen Parr explains that the Democrat Party has always been the “TAX AND SPEND” party, and they have proven it in Louisiana over the past 4 years.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about the results of this year’s survey by the United Kingdom’s Charity Aid Foundation. They were determining which Nation on the globe has the most charitable citizens. The results and the reasons why are most interesting.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk to Louisiana State Senator Ryan Gatti, the current State Senator District 36. This runoff race is a very dirty race between two Republicans. Louis and Stephen are giving Senator Gatti a chance to explain his positions. Tomorrow, they will have his opponent, Robert Mills, on to explain his side.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how every vote does matter. Collectively, a block of votes do change outcomes, as is illustrated by 900 abortion clinics across the country losing Federal abortion funding.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the educational results for the State of Louisiana as compared to almost all other States. Are the students even getting good adult examples showing them what kind of personal goals they should have for themselves? What kind of future will Louisiana young people have if this does not improve?
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about a “The Hill” article, "How Republicans can win back the suburbs." It explains how the Democrat Party today is neither tolerant nor respects traditions. The voters in the suburbs need to understand that their more tolerant, traditional values can only be protected today by Republicans because Republican Party do support both tolerance and traditional American values.
Stephen Parr says the National Media is so obsessed by impeachment that it is failing to cover other very important National news. He and Louis Avallone discuss a number of key examples. No wonder so many Americans don’t trust them.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr report that Louisiana's off-shore drilling has declined by more than 50 percent in the past 6 years, substantially because John Bel Edwards has been encouraging the coastal parishes to sue the oil industry for shoreline damage. He has destroyed about one-third of the State’s domestic product.
A Louisiana Legislative Auditor has determine that the Louisiana Prison System does not have accurate information about prisoners and release dates. As a result, the prison system apparently does not know who is being released. In 21 of 40 cases, no one had signed off, confirming the prisoner was supposed to be released. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are concerned about public safety as a result.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr analyze the agendas of the past and upcoming meetings of the Caddo Parish Economic Development Council. The only topic which appears on the agendas is giving away taxpayer money. What are they doing to grow the economic environment to encourage new businesses to want to move to Shreveport? Nothing?
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about a recent survey which shows 59 percent of likely American voters say President Reagan was correct when he said Government is the problem, not the solution to our problems. 66 percent of likely US voters think politicians want more power, not less. This is the problem of the “Echo Chamber” or “Group Think”. And to add to the data of this “Bright Spot”, 57 percent of likely US voters prefer a smaller government.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone are concerned that our educational system is badly broken when 70 percent of millennials believe socialism is a good form of government.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone look at the similarities and differences between the mission to take out Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and the mission to take out Osama bin Laden. They also compared how President Trump and President Obama handled the respective public announcements.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr find it amazing that John Bel Edwards would say he would address the “minimum wage issue” if re-eleced when he knows he could not get such a law through the Republican controlled Louisiana legislature. So is he just trying to throw out promises he knows he cannot fulfill to get votes?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about Biden being denied Holy Communion because of his support on abortion. Father Robert E. Morey of Saint Anthony Catholic Church has confirmed that this is indeed true.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about the confusing, inconsistent positions which the Shreveport Chamber of Commerce seems to have taken on the $186,000,000 bond issue. But at the end, Louis shares a potential conflict if interest between the Chamber and the City. Any connection?
Granada is celebrating Thanksgiving Day, because after Cuba had invaded, American Special Op Forces went in freeing American Medical Students trapped there and giving the island its independence again. Even in the 1980s, the United Nations seemed to prefer dictators to free governments.
Vice President Pence said millions of Americans stand with those who are peacefully protesting for freedom in Hong Hong. Then he explained that Nike is not the “social justice” supporter it claims to be because it is unwilling to support the people of Hong Kong, preferring their oppressor China instead. The NBA has a similar problem, actually acting like a whole owned subsidiary of China. American corporations should stand for American values both in the United States and around the world.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about one of our current major problems being the non-religious trying to impose their non-beliefs upon the religious.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about the extreme left beliving YouTube would cause an increase of white supremacists. But Penn State has reported the bulk of both video production and video viewership has come from mainstream conservatives entering the YouTube Marketplace, not from white supremacists. Liberal viewership has been slightly decreasing as well. So why is Prager University having to sue YouTube?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explains how John Bel Edwards, by encouraging law suits against oil companies, has successfully run over 2,000 oil industry jobs out of Louisiana, contributing to making us dead last in job creation during the Trump Administrations’ economic boom!
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about Chambers of Commerce being big supporters of government spending, community development, and taxes. The question is why? What are their primary goals as Chambers of Commerce? It is to generate more business for its members?
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss why Vice President Mike Pence said the NBA is behaving more like a subsidiary of China than an American entity.
In 2013, the Brookings Institute concluded that there are three rules to follow which will likely keep you out of poverty. 1.) Graduating from high school, 2.) Having a full-time job, and 3.) Not getting married or starting a family until after age 21. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss each of these in great depth.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr are very concerned about this Nation’s schools’ failure to teach History and Civics. Young people today do not understand why we don’t just “rewrite” the Constitutional Amendments every time they are deemed to be “out of fashion”.
Louis Avallone talks about the casino gaming revenues continuing to decline, month after month. The City cannot continue spending as if this is not happening. The consequences will be the City will have to find other money sources, and that will be taxing Shreveporters. Stephen Parr agrees.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss WalletHub having named Shreveport the slowest growing city in the United States. First, rebuilding Shreveport infrastructure is needed to encourage businesses and industry to move to Shreveport. Shreveport also needs a trained workforce and an improved educational system. Mayor Perkins does not seem to fully agree, and Louis and Stephen do not understand why. Is what he is saying just “political talk” to cover up his lack of a solid plan? And then there is a question about why the “Community Development Fund” is up 68% over last year (about $10,000,000). Exactly what has it been doing in the past?
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about E-PAC, which is committed to helping conservative women win elections for Congress.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss pay raises based upon quality performance or just making across the board pay raises. It is important to develop an effective employee evaluation system, giving honest feedback of job performance, and then to base pay raises off of that. Across-the-board pay raises do nothing to help improve the quality of employee work performance.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about Shaquille O’Neal’s comments on LeBron James’s comment about Rockets’ GM Daryl Morey’s comment about China.
Louis Avallone has been studying the financing for sports arenas. Sports arenas are not good investments for cities or states because they never get their money back. Financially speaking, it is a bad deal for taxpayers. Stephen Parr agrees, pointing out that governments keep doing it anyway.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss Mayor Perkins’ creation of another new “committee”, this time for insurance matters. Is this so he has “cover” to do what he wants to do and will likely, once again, not be acceptable with the people of Shreveport?
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about the typical Democrat character assignation of people whom they find “inconvenient” and which seems to be instigated, time after time, by Hillary Clinton.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone tell us about the Republican Health Plan just put out (and ignored by National news outlets). The benefits include 1.) Portability (eliminates pre-existing conditions), 2.) Guaranteed Coverage Pools (Federal funding for States to supplement the costs for medical coverage for high risk individuals), and 3.) Tax Benefit Equality (individuals purchasing insurance with pre-tax dollars). There are other items as well. https://mikejohnson.house.gov/media/in-the-news/rep-mike-johnson-conservatives-new-health-care-plan
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the attitude and behavior expected of the public and of elected officials when talking about matters important to the community. If you are elected to government, you are there to serve the people, not to be snarky or to put them down.
Someone at the Shreveport City Council specifically misquoted Louis Avallone, and Stephen Parr has reinforced that to be true. They even have had on Financial Experts to explaining the meaning of the current City Audit. Bottom line is the City of Shreveport does not have current financial resources to meet its present obligations, which is why the City has a negative net worth.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about Shreveport City Councilman John Nicholson proposing to have all liquor stores close at 9PM, when currently they can stay open until 4AM. The issue is why have a different set of rules for one side of the city and not the other or should it be uniform all across the city?
How important are the following to the United States’ Identity as a Nation?
87% - A Fair Judicial System
80% - Individual Constitutional Liberties (ie: Self-Determination)
75% - Ability to Get Good Jobs to Achieve the American Dream
67% - Having a Common English Language
Louis Avallone says Mayor Perkins claims passing the $186,000,000 Bond will lower taxes. Stephen Parr explains that is not technically true, as it really is a typical retail sales gimmick of “marking it way up so you can mark it down and call it a sale”. Your taxes are already scheduled to go down. By voting against it, your taxes will go way down!
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone have three core principles of Conservatism defined in their book, “Bright Spots, Big Country” (available from Amazon). Those are self determination, equal opportunity (not equal outcome — big difference), and economic freedom. In making good laws, these 3 principles must be applied. The Heritage Foundation has come up with 14 Conservative principles. Stephen and Louis compare those 14 to their own 3, finding the Heritage Foundations’ are subsets of theirs.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the previous Louisiana Governor Debates, in consideration of the next one on October 30, 7-8 pm, on Louisiana PBS.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr compare the net worth of the Clintons, the Obamas, and the Trumps going into the Presidency and then while being President. The Clintons and Obamas had huge gains, in the millions (what did they "sell"?), while President Trump has lost over $1 Billion in just 3 years. Clearly President Trump is too busy running the Country to "sell" anything.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about an editorial written by Louis in the Shreveport Times. Roy Burrell, Caddo Parish Commissioner-elect, then wrote his own editorial, but he didn’t address the points Louis was making in his.. Instead he insinuated that Louis might be racist….thereby proving Louis’ points.
News of the week: Is it Real News (meaning it really is true), Real Fake News (meaning it was published but did not happen), or Fake Fake News (meaning Stephen Parr just made it up).
Only 10% of Democrats are pleased that the Democrats in the US House are spending all their time on an impeachent that is being conducted in secret for non-existent crimes. If your business was pleasing only 10% of your customers, you would have some big problems.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss the new National Census Data showing median Black incomes have increased across the Nation because jobs have increased. Overall, the results are very impressive; however, Louisiana needs to do better. Out of the top 50 major US cities, Baton Rouge is the only one where median Black income went down.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain that there is never a tax hike John Bel Edwards doesn’t like, and it really hurt Louisiana.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss how former Senator, former Secretary of State, former Presidential Candidate, and former First Lady Hillary Clinton has accused Tulsi Gabbard, a current Member of Congress who also is a current active Member of the National Guard, of being a Russian Asset. Really? That would be treason if it were true.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the importance of skepticism regarding what politicians tell you. As both a journalist and a scientist, Stephen knows the importance of being skeptical before information can be appropriately substantiated.
Apparently, Mayor Perkins doesn’t want you to have any skepticism regarding what he and his supporters have to say about the $186,000,000 bond issue on the upcoming ballot. Instead of just trusting him, questioning many aspects of that bond issue is actually necessary.
Albert Einstein said, “Blind belief in authority is the greatest enemy of truth.” Skepticism is actually the first step towards TRUTH.
Another related area for questioning is the upcoming Louisiana Governor’s runoff. If you think Eddie Rispone represents “big money”, what is John Bel Edwards’s Gumbo PAC? Being a Republican and refusing to vote for Rispone is not a good plan.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss two different Republican Campaigns and how they launched.
US Attorney General Barr spoke at the University of Notre Dame Law School recently on the thinking of the Founding Fathers. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone analyze what he was saying about how the secular humanists whose goal is to destroy religion because the morality of religion is a fundamental requirement to saving the Nation under the US Constitution. Unless our citizens and leaders are moral people, we cannot keep a free society.
What was he thinking? Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr comment on an Alabama student allegedly calling in a false bomb threat during the Alabama/LSU football game because a friend was at risk of losing a bet. Stephen mentioned that the rules for betting in college needs to include “do not commit a felony”.
It is time to put a Republican Businessman into the Louisiana Governor’s Office. Democrat Gov. John Bel Edwards has allowed more than 1,600 people to get on to and to stay on Medicaid who are earning over 6-figure incomes (meaning more than $100,000). He has had time to address this huge Medicaid Fraud problem, but has not.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about how Mayor Perkins went about developing this current $186,000,000 Bond Proposal. Previous Mayors and City Councils have spent months studying the problems, listening to substantial citizen input, and clearly presenting each specific item, with its cost, so everyone knew exactly what is in it and why. Instead, Mayor Perkins’ small, hand picked team spent only 20 hours working on this one, without the city’s residents having ample opportunity to provide input. Now, the Mayor’s communications director, Ben Riggs, is claiming he is not hearing any real cynicism from the public about this. Really?
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about abortion survivors. They are not someone else’s “choice” or “right”. They are human beings who survived and lived against the will of the government. This is part of the abortion debate that gets ignored. The "Ribht to Life" in the Declaration of Independence is what has been denied for every baby that had been aborted.
US Attorney General Barr said the problems and conflicts going on in our culture is not decay, but rather an all-out assault by the Secularist and their Allies to destroy our American values and culture, including religion and the belief in a Creator. Those involved include mass communication, the entertainment industry, the media, popular culture, and academia. Bu not voting, you are being silent and allowing this destruction to progress. It is time to take a stand and get the corrupt politicians out of office.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone analyze the data behind the Louisiana election returns for Governor, explaining if John Bel Edwards can increase the number of Democrat votes in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, he just might be able to win a second term. That means the entire State of Louisiana, other than New Orleans and Baton Rouge, must increase its Republican vote to be sure the Governorship goes RED for Edward Rispone.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone analyze the data behind the Louisiana election returns for Governor, explaining if John Bel Edwards can increase the number of Democrat votes in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, he just might be able to win a second term. That means the entire State of Louisiana, other than New Orleans and Baton Rouge, must increase its Republican vote to be sure the Governorship goes RED for Edward Rispone.
Lynn Cawthorne was re-elected, even though he is under indictment for defrauding $536,000 of Federal funds intended for meals for low income children during the summer. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr wonder why.
Off The Top - Governor Edwards lost his home Parish on Saturday, although he won the area of New Orleans substantially. Rispone is going to need full support of all the Republicans who voted Republican (either candidate) in the Primary this past Saturday. At the point, Abraham voters should to understand how important replacing John Bel Edwards is to the future of Louisiana.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone report the US Census Report on Income and Poverty 2018 contains a lot of good news. Overall income between 2017 and 2018 rose 3.4%. The number of people who got full-time workers in 2018 increased by 2.3 million, which is very good news. The official poverty rate for 2018 11.8%, down .5% from 2017. For the first time in 11 years, the 2018 official poverty rate was significantly less than in 2007, the year before the most recent recession. Throughout the entire Obama Era, the poverty rate was never lower than it was in 2007, the year before he took office. Donald Trump reversed that in only 1.5 years.
Be very careful about how the Democrat Presidential Candidates are wanting to to change the Word of God to be able to do away with the 1st Amendment. Bottom line is the Freedom of Religion is under assault. We are dependent upon Our Creator in the Declaration of Independence for all of our Rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. The Democrats are the same people who booed God not too long ago. They have proven their opinion on Religious Matters are not reliable and trustworthy.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr visit with Don Little on the phone about the beginnings of the Louisiana Trump Rally tonight.
Squirrels have to look hard to find the best place to store their winter food stores! But sometimes people don't agree.
Another reason to not buy Nike…because they removed all Houston Rockets merchandise in their Chinese Stores. And now China got rid of all references of South Park because of the most recent show, “Band in China”, which runs into problems with Chinese censors in the story. The problem really is Corporate America, where they value Chinese money more than American Values.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk to Dean Mead, Senior Research Manager of the Government Accounting Standards Board to learn more about what is meant by all the terms used in the recent audit of the City of Shreveport. They also discuss a different attempted Louisiana audit of all the waived court fines in all of the Louisiana Courts. The degree and the impact of those fines cannot be determined because of poor record keeping in Courts throughout Louisiana.
With Louisiana’s State Election Saturday Oct 12 (Runoff Nov 16), Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about what being a RED state candidate really means. Further, the Democrats in Louisiana continue to do things which are hurting business in the State, including raise taxes and otherwise make decisions which hurt good, hard-working Louisianians.
Lesson: Best to have Republican Governors!
Compare how Texas Governor Greg Abbott (Republican) and California Governor Gavin Newsom (Democrat) have chosen to handle very similar homeless street problems! Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone talk about the issue, the letter Gov. Abbott sent to Austin Mayor Adler (D). Why couldn't Gov. Newsom do the same?
NO! President Trump has not declared war on Congress. The New York Times headline and the first sentence of their article are totally false and misleading. Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone discuss in great detail an 8-page letter, written by White House counsel Pat Cipollone, to several key Democrats in the House of Representatives. Essentially, it details all the blatant violations of the US Constitution being being made by Members of the US House in their efforts to overturn the 2016 election through “impeachment”.
So in the land of Windmills and home of California extremist environmentalists, the electric power has been turned off for a number of upcoming days because the area has too much wind! That is indeed a puzzle. And then there is the issue of "Power" causing brain damage. Yeah…..that is a lot of power!
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss thethe Shreveport City Council's failue to address the economic factors of the citizen homeowners because they decided the economic factors of one small business was more important. There is a long established history of this disregard for the best wishes of the people who live in neighborhoods. In business it is so much more expensive to go attract new customers than it is to take good care of the customers you have. For a City wanting to develop and grow, it is much easier to keep the residents of that city happy than it is to convince other people to move in. This was a big “fail” by the Shreveport City Council.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about Ellen DeGenerus being a guest in George Bush’s Cowboy Suite and what she said about being friends with people whom you don’t always agree with. Unfortunately, our political discussions are too often not based upon ideas any more.
Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser talks to Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr about a special “Songs for Survivors" project designed to assist veterans with PTSD. He is very excited about the potential of spreading it across the Nation through the Lt. Governors’ Association to help make a difference.
As Louis Avallone explains, in 2015, the Shreveport City Council dealt with a nearly identical fight over a different liquor store in a different part of town. Against the wishes of the local residents, the liquor store permit was approved. Stephen Parr follows up with “if we are going to move this city forward, the people running this city in leadership positions need to be listening to the people in this city.”
In this segment of “Off the Top”, Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr continue yesterday's discussion of permitting a liquor store near a neighborhood where so many of the residents oppose it.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr talk about President Trump coming to Lake Charles this Friday to encourage the Louisiana Republican on Saturday. But Friday night, Trump has another Rally scheduled in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Rep. Ilhan Omar’s District. The very anti-Trump Mayor of Minneapolis suddenly demanded the Trump Campaign pay $530,000 for security. Trump’s folks said security is the job of the Secret Service (meaning, talk to them). Ten years ago, Obama's security costs were only $20,000.
Stephen Parr gives us an interesting, modern day lesson on how we cannot curse something God has not already cursed, only God doesn't curse anything or any one. Louis Avallone decides he is hungry for chicken when Stephen finishes.
Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone visit with Barry Milligan who is running for Louisiana Senate District 38. A long-term businessman, he is tired of Louisiana being ranked so low, as compared to most other States, and he wants to make a difference in improving the lives of Louisiana people. Senator Bill Cassady has endorses Barry Milligan.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr continue debating the issue of a liquor store on a very heavily traveled street near a residential neighborhood. Stephen Parr explains the principle “Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness” must always be applied and in that order. The challenge is balancing one person’s right to pursue happiness over another person’s right to pursue happiness. But ultimately, whatever decision is made must have the “consent of the governed”. Louis supports his points with a study of liquor stores in Baltimore.
As Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr continue their debate about a new liquor store on Kings Highway, we learn a member of the Shreveport City Council decided to inject the race of the business owner into the discussion.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr debate the pros and cons of allowing an established liquor store to open a second store on Kings Highway. What should be the impact of the following: The neighborhood residents, the neighboring local businesses, and the best use for that real estate location? But Louis and Stephen agree that the decision should not be based upon race.
The extremely bad Shreveport audit report came out this week, showing the City is in very serious debt. Ignoring that, Mayor Perkins starts talking about how all the traffic lights in the City will be replaced as part of the Bond Issue.
In this segment of “Off The Top”, Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr begin analyzing the Shreveport audit that has just been made public. It is not good. The net worth of the City of Shreveport is a negative one billion ( -1,000,000,000) dollars. Why is Mayor Perkins pushing for more debt (the pending $186,000,000 Bond Issue) without fixing the current financial problems? Stephen explains one possible reason.
Louisiana's drunk teen driving rate is too high. The statistics are troubing. 10% of teens admit to driving drunk, with 30% of teens saying they have ridden with drunk teen. Doing better than teens, adults drive after consuming too much at a rate of less than 5%. There is no excuse for driving drunk. Call someone — a family member, a friend, a cab, a Lift, or an Uber.
In this segment of “Digging Deep”, Stephen Parr explains what is wrong with our schools today. The best schools in the Nation do the basics right. Teach the students to read and write. Teach them about American History and American Civics (Government), and get them ready to work. We are not teaching children. We are teaching future adults.
CONSERVATIVES GO VOTE! Louisiana's statewide election is on Saturday, October 12, 2019. The news media is trying to depress Conservative votes by claiming John Bel Edwards will be re-elected for a second term outright. Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr explain that the early voting numbers are indicating there will be a runoff, and one of the two Republicans are more likely to be the ultimate winner for the next Louisiana Governor's Office.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the problems of labeling people and making political decisions based upon a Conservative’s concern for “what are the consequences or outcome” vs a Liberal’s focus on “what makes me feel good”.
The administrators for the Caddo Parish Commission (not the Commissioners, apparently) are pushing for a $30,000,000 bond issuance. Louis says the Parish wants this money for maintenance of Parish facilities, even though there is indeed enough money in the bank to cover those costs, currently. Stephen says “financing maintenance is a bad, bad idea”.
Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr have no difficulty finding examples of elected officials not being good, responsible trustees of both governmental time and taxpayer money. But is removing the urnals in the Men's Rooms going too far?
Politicians and parents want very different things taught the schools today. Almost all parents want the schools to focus on teaching their children how to read and to write. But only about 40% of parents think the schools do a good job of that. Instead, the politicians and others have turned our schools into liberal social experiments.
In early Louisiana voting through Wednesday, 208,000 have already voted, and there are still 3 more days of voting to add in. Louis Avallone thinks this is a combined factor of greater conservative enthusiasm and waning Democrat enthusiasm. That is a big difference, especially if the Democrats lose a substantial portion of the African-American vote.
American Ground Radio hosts Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr contrast the difference between spending money on “what we need” compared to “what we want”.
It’s hard to celebrate holidays after the loss of a loved one, especially when that family member was so involved in that holiday. So, how do you move forward with your family tradition, when part of your family has passed on?

Turns out, you’re never too old to be a Toys R Us Kid at heart!
President Trump knows what it takes to be successful. This week, he shared his advice with young people from across America. What can you accomplish if you decide to never quit?
We have people protesting things - but do they really know what they’re protesting. What if you stood up for something - protested, got arrested, only to find out that what you thought was true wasn’t true. How would you feel?
Laura Ingalls Wilder, the author of the beloved series of children’s books, Little House on the Prairie is now considered a racist. That’s why the Association of Library Service to Children decided to strip her name from the title of it’s annual award for excellence in children’s literature. Wilder was the first winner of that award in 1954. Today, she’s The One Who Must Not Be Named.
3 things you need to know before tomorrow! Vice President Pence visited Central America, it might be the best time to look for a job, and the Trump administration is cracking down on Medicare fraud like never before!
Can comedy pull us back from the cliff? As more Americans start to fear political violence, some comedians are poking fun at the oversensitivity of the “woke” left. Will it work to wake up the woke to their own hypocrisy, or simply offend the easily offended even more?
Is Roe v Wade doomed? As Justice Kennedy steps down, President Trump gets another pick for the Supreme Court. He only needs 50 votes in the Senate to get his pick confirmed. Does that mean that the most controversial Supreme Court decision in the past 50 years is about to be overturned?

He said, “Yes!” Why did Barrow Peacock vote for tax hike? He’ll join us on American Ground Radio to tell us why.
Does the media intentionally report fake news? A new poll asks Americans if we believe journalists ever publish information they know to be untrue. And, when the people answer with a resounding, “YES” the media then blames Trump. Who can you trust when even journalists lie?
Are Trump voters racist? That's how many feel the media portrays them. They're often called things like "racist" or "xenophobe" because of their vote in the 2016 Election. Many Trump supporters are tired of this treatment, and ask the Mamas how long they're supposed to put up with this intolerance of opinions.
Did you know Justice Anthony Kennedy is retiring? This leaves President Trump with a decision to make on who his replacement will be. The Supreme Court also made a new ruling for labor unions, overturning a 41-year old decision! Lastly, a Democrat Socialist has won New York's Democrat primary!
The left claims to be on the side of women. But, the calls for mobs to intimidate conservatives have resulted in attacks mostly on conservative women. Shouldn’t real feminists stand up for women of all political backgrounds rather than giving into the hypocrisy of the mob?
Aseel Al Hamad was born in Saudi Arabia. She grew up loving watching motorsports - formula 1 racing and things like that. But, as a female in Saudi Arabia, she wasn’t even allowed to drive a regular car on regular city streets. Last year, she became the first woman to be on the board of the Saudi Arabian Motorsport Federation. Saudi Arabia also recently dropped their ban on female drivers, and in celebration of the new independence, Hamad got to take a lap in Renault’s Formula One race car! Woah!
Democrats have declared an Un-Civil War. They believe it’s ok to create large mobs of people to harass individuals, and it’s happening at restaurants, movie theaters, and in neighborhoods all over the country. We’ll listen to Democrat Maxine waters explain why she believes God is in favor of mob rule, and mass intimidation.
Is it ok to hate men? Is that what true feminism is really all about? A college professor published in the Washington Post says, “Yes! We have every right to hate you. You have done us wrong.” So, now, does Feminism = Hate?

AT&T with TimeWarner and now more than 30 TV channels are delivered over the internet, including CNN, TBS, and TNT, AMC, the History Channel, BBC America, Lifetime and Oprah Winfey's OWN, but no ESPN. The times are definitely changing, and we talked about all of it!
Busy day, we're talking about how North Korea has returned the remains of over 200 U.S. soldiers, how President Trump is streamlining the federal government by consolidating the Labor and Education departments, and how Mississippi is a good bet (compared to Louisiana) for sports gambling. Whew!
The Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling today - States can require online retailers to pay local sales tax. It's a big change from how online retailers have operated since the beginning of the internet. How will this impact state budgets? Will the complex maze of local taxes across the country stifle small business?
In the wake of the #MeToo movement in Hollywood, production companies are trying to cut down on harassment in the workpalce. That's good. But, are the rules they're coming up with doing any good, or just more pointless, petty, corporate policy paperwork? Has Netflix lost its chill?
Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Matt Flynn (D) thinks that there are too many splinter groups within his party, and that it's time for everyone to stop dividing themselves along sex, race, and religious lines. Will more Democrats follow Flynn's lead and make an effort to end identity politics? Take a listen to Tuesday's "Here's the Thing..."
There’s a new plan available for small businesses to provide healthcare plans for their employees. What exactly is an Association Health Plan (AHP) and how does it work? Is it Obamacare Light, or the beginning of the end for Obamacare? We discussed some AHP pros and cons on Tuesday's "Digging Deep".
"Dear Mamas, I’m really having a hard time reconciling two things and I’m hoping you can help. I’m in favor of the rule of law. But, I also want to follow the teachings of my church. The Methodist Church has said that separating children from their parents at the border is wrong, but the law says you’re not supposed to come into this country without going through the right immigration channels. So, who’s wrong here? The President? The Church? The parents crossing illegally? All of them?"
Oh, this is a tricky one! The American Mamas, Teri and Denise, both Methodists, are conflicted about this as well. We got their thoughts on the church's stance on the border situation on Tuesday's "What Would Mama Do?"

"Dear Mamas, Just when I think the celebrities are learning not to cuss out our First Lady, they go and do it again. This isn’t a very high bar, and yet it keeps smacking them in the forehead! Don’t cuss out the First Lady. How hard is that?"
Kathy Griffin sent FLOTUS Melania Trump a nasty, vulgar tweet in response to her comments on family separation at the border and immigration reform. We discussed the tweet, and the border separation situation, with our American Mamas, Teri and Denise, on Monday's "What Would Mama Do?" Take a listen.
"Dear Mamas, Do you and Teri purposefully stay away from city politics? I heard the interview the guys did with Mario Chavez about no city representatives at the crime initiative meeting. I’m curious where you two stand on crime in our city."
We spoke to Mama Denise on Friday's "What Would Mama Do?" about Shreveport's crime problem, the community's stinking thinking, and how citizens can be proactive about their safety at a neighborhood level. Great talk, take a listen!
"As he thinks in his heart, so is he." - Proverbs 23:7
On Friday's "To Begin With", we discussed Shreveport's place on the 24/7 Wall St. "50 Worst Cities to Live In" list, and the stinking thinking that locals have had in response to it. How can we ever improve if we accept things as they are? Listen in.
"Whoa, and I mean whoa!!! I love the American Mamas but you got the new direction the Miss America pageant is going all wrong. First off, this is all a big scam, part of the culture war. With this new direction of the MA 'contest', don’t you feel it will become a contest for the 'most politically correct'? Do you ever see a Kellyanne Conway or a Dana Loesch winning? My take: the winners will all be along the lines of Emma Gonzalez or Caitlyn Jenner."
Do you agree with this listener? We took this theory to our American Mamas, Teri and Denise, on last night's "What Would Mama Do?" and got their thoughts on it, and on Miss America's new direction. Take a listen.

The Caddo Parish Commission held a crime initiative meeting, inviting the Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office, Shreveport Marshal's Office, and the Shreveport Police Department. The goal was to decide how the city and parish can work together to stop crime. Unfortunately, the Police Chief nor a representative from the Shreveport Police Department showed up. Although the SPD said it notified the Commission of its absence, it seems that was not the case. We had Caddo Parish Commissioners Mario Chavez and Mike Middleton on the show last night to set the record straight.

"Dear Mamas, I’m done. Seriously. No more award shows for me. After watching the Tony’s this weekend and Robert De Niro’s f-bombs on live tv, I’ve had it. When will Hollywood learn that if they keep insulting the Americans who voted for Trump, we’ll stop watching whatever it is they are in? Be it movies, TV shows, or Broadway plays... that, by the way, are so expensive only the 1% can afford to go see them?!?!"

"Dear Mamas, I got so caught up watching the College World Series. I know you two are baseball moms, so maybe you’ll understand. Tennessee Tech beating Ole Miss and FAU beating #1 Florida last night gave me such a surge! And I wondered why it did. Why do we seem to root for the underdogs even when we don’t have any personal connection to those teams?"
We took this question to Mama Teri on Friday's show and it really resonated with her. She had a lot to tell us about the beauty in the struggle and rooting for the underdog on "What Would Mama Do?" Take a listen.

With the recent passing of Kate Spade, and now the news of Anthony Bourdain, this topic is on everyone's minds. It's often those who seem like they have it all that are the most unhappy. We took this listener submission to Mama Teri on Thursday's "What Would Mama Do?" and got her input. Take a listen.

"Dear Mamas, The Miss America pageant says they aren’t going to do the swimsuit competition or the evening gown competition anymore.

"Dear Mamas, I saw Teri’s post about President Trump talking about his faith and about God. Are you kidding me? That man is evil. The fact that he pretends to be a Christian makes him more evil. How can you fall for that?"
Trump recently held a ceremony in the Rose Garden, and introduced a convicted criminal who found Jesus when he was in jail, talked about the importance of his ministry, and the power of faith. Mama Teri shared a video of this, and is getting mixed reviews, like in the submission above. We took this question to Teri on last night's "What Would Mama Do?" and got her thoughts on the video and on the importance of Trump's faith. Listen in.

"Dear Mamas, yesterday was my daughter's birthday and I posted a sweet tribute to my little girl. I sent my husband an adorable picture of them and told him it really would be a sweet gesture if he posted something about her on his Facebook page.
She came home, threw her arms around her daddy's neck and told him how much that picture and tribute meant to her and how much she loves him and what he has meant in her life... Yeah yeah. I got nothing.
Why does it feel like we moms are the only ones to capture sweet candid moments between our children and their father? Why don't they think about capturing these moments of us moms with our children! This drives me nuts!"
We took this oh so very relatable listener submission to our American Mamas, Teri and Denise, on Friday's "What Would Mama Do?" and got their thoughts, and a few personal anecdotes, as well. Take a listen.

You know they were just looking for any excuse to kick her off the air because she’s a Trump supporter. Is the problem that the people on the left aren’t smart enough to know what a double standard is, or do they just not care?"
Roseanne was abruptly canceled by ABC following a controversial tweet by the show's namesake, and main star, Roseanne Barr. Freedom of speech does not equal freedom from consequence, but are these consequences doled out equally? On last night's "What Would Mama Do?", our American Mamas, Teri and Denise, discussed Roseanne's tweet and the ridiculous double standard conservatives are held to in Hollywood and in the media. Great talk. Take a listen.
Make your own conclusions about the Roseanne tweet/cancellation firestorm. Should she have been silenced, tagged as a racist? Does this come down to freedom of speech? Take a listen to this clip by our hosts, Stephen and Louis.

"Dear Mamas, did you hear about the 30 year old man who refuses to leave his parent’s home? They had to go to court to get him kicked out, and he still refuses to leave? Why would anyone want to stay with their parents when it’s obvious their parents don’t want them there anymore? Do you think lots of parents are having this problem with this current boomerang generation?"

"Dear Mamas, there is much to do about senior parties. I hear all kinds of horror stories. What do the Mamas think of 11th grade kids celebrating their upcoming senior year?

"Dear Mamas, I just saw the saddest thing. A 128 year old woman in Russia said in an interview that she’s never had a happy day in her life, and that her long life was a punishment by God. How in the world can someone say that, or even think that way?"

"Dear Mamas, did you see the headline on Yahoo saying that while Melania was having surgery, Trump was tweeting? He’s the leader of the free world.

"Dear Mamas, I saw the Saturday Night Live opening this weekend where they were honoring the mothers of the cast members for Mother’s Day. A lot of the mamas were complaining that the sketches were too political. Do you think that SNL finally understands what they’ve been doing wrong, or were they simply making fun of mothers everywhere who are tired of the mean Trump jokes?"

Wright and Erin McCarty interviewed Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards on Friday morning, and asked about the letters that went out to nursing home residents warning them about a future cutoff of funding.

We recapped the interview and dug up some facts on the budget situation on Friday's "Digging Deep".
"Dear Mamas, I read Teri’s article in Lola Magazine and I literally had tears in my eyes. I didn’t know why at first, but then, I realized she was talking about a supportive sisterhood friendship and I’ve never really had one of those. I’ve found it difficult to create those strong bonds with other women. I mean, I have friends, but I don’t think I have friends like that! Why is that? How did you two become such strong friends?"

This Freshman Class of Representatives may be different. First, all 50 freshmen agreed to the "Commitment to Civility" pledge authored by Congressman Mike Johnson. Now, there's a new bipartisan proposal for the regulation of term limits: 6 terms for Representatives, 2 terms for Senators. This might make a big impact on governmental motivations and culture. We looked into why this bill could be a "Bright Spot" on last night's show.
20,000 nursing home residents have received notices of possible eviction pending a budget vote in the Senate. Why is it necessary to terrorize and put undue stress on those who need the most help of us all, our elderly? We discussed this shameful power play on Thursday's "To Begin With".
"Dear Mamas, I heard y’all talking about cheerleaders last night. But, did you see the story about the Washington Redskins cheerleaders who were forced to do nude photoshoots in a foreign country in front of big wig male donors? What happened to #MeToo?

We discussed these possibilities and more on last night's "Digging Deep". Take a listen.
"Dear Mamas, Have you seen where the high school in New Jersey has ruled that there will be no more tryouts for cheerleading? It seems a parent complaint led to this decision. The new rule means they will take all girls interested. As a cheerleader mom, I have invested time, money and long hours of extra training for my daughter to get the next level. What would you do if this was your daughter's school?"
We took this question to Mama Denise on Wednesday's "What Would Mama Do?" and she got F-I-R-E-D up about it.

"Dear Mamas, Did you see where there was a restaurant in the U.K. that hands out a laminated 'Polite Policy'? I read that people were offended. What do the Mamas think about this idea?"
A restaurant in the U.K. is making waves with its "Polite Policy". Most people are fine with the laminated notice requesting good behavior from their children, but some are offended.

"What Would Mama Do?" airs every weeknight on American Ground Radio.
A new study shows that the cost of building a new home in California is twice as expensive as other states. The California legislature is also about to require all new homes have solar panels, adding another $25,000 to $30,000 per home in construction. The state with the largest homeless population in the nation is making it even harder for people to get a roof over their heads. We discussed this on last night's "Here's the Thing..."
Chief Executive Magazine has recently released its "Best and Worst States for Business" list for 2018. Red states top the list, and you guessed it, blue states came dead last. Why is this? We looked at possible reasons on Monday's "Digging Deep".
"Did you see the story about that high school girl who wore a Chinese looking dress to prom? People online got angry with her for 'cultural appropriation'? What is that?

On last night's "What Would Mama Do?", we talked to Mama Denise about the prom dress in question, the differences between appreciation and appropriation, and the problem with politically correct culture. Great discussion! Take a listen.

"Dear Mamas, How do you two handle snooty women? I was recently at a function and was asked to step out of a picture with my best friend by one of her friends who doesn’t seem to mind humiliating people in public. I was fuming and embarrassed! Help, I need a cure for snooty grown women."

We discussed the report card and ways to turn America's bad grades around on Wednesday's "Digging Deep".

Schneider, a former SNL cast member, recently criticized Alec Baldwin's portrayal of President Trump as not funny because it's hate-based and shows too much of the show's political hand. We talked to our American Mamas, Teri and Denise, on Wednesday's "What Would Mama Do?" about Schneider and others taking a stand in the face of Hollywood hypocrisy and venom. Listen in.
"What Would Mama Do?" airs every weeknight on American Ground Radio.

"Dear Mamas, I cannot believe what that comedian at the White House Correspondents dinner said about Sarah Huckabee Sanders. She called her a liar, made fun of how she looked and compared her to an Uncle Tom. But, just as mad as it made me towards that woman, I’m even more proud of how Sarah handled it! Do you think this will finally show people what real feminism is about? Do you think this might actually start to change things?"
Press Secretary Sanders handled the situation with composure and grace. Her response was certainly admirable. On last night's "What Would Mama Do?", our American Mamas, Teri and Denise, discussed the vile speech by Michelle Wolf and Sarah Sanders' strength in the face of hate. "What Would Mama Do?" airs every weeknight on American Ground Radio.
Studies are finding that homelessness on a national scale is on the rise, increasing by 1% after a period of decline between 2010-2016.

"Dear Mamas, I saw that post on Facebook this past weekend regarding the Mom who questioned the dad in the stands after his son blurted out for him to "shut up!" I know things are different now but should respect EVER change? I see more and more young parents afraid to discipline their children for fear of embarrassing them. I feel like if they embarrass you, they open themselves up for whatever embarrassment you give them. I’m curious about this generation of parents. What are your thoughts? Do you now or did you then, care if your kid was embarrassed if you disciplined him/her in public?"
"Where you cut up is where you GET cut up." The Mamas, Teri and Denise, had some great words for us on public parenting and discipline on last night's "What Would Mama Do?" Be sure to take a listen.

Economists Art Laffer and Stephen Moore are predicting that 800,000 people will leave California and New York over the next three years because of Trump's new tax plan. Why? What does that mean for the future of American politics? We discussed "voting with your feet" at length on Friday's "Digging Deep".
Most people don't read past the headlines, and that's where the wealth of information lies. On Friday's "Here's the Thing...", we debated media bias, and some excellent examples of misleading headlines concerning economic growth.

"Dear Mamas, I saw Teri’s post about her sister’s video complaining about Fortnite. It was hilarious! But, maybe that’s because it hits so close to home for me. My son won’t stop playing that game either! What is Teri’s sister doing about it, and are there any other suggestions? I want my son back!"
The Fortnite phenomenon has been taking America by storm. Young men won't answer their mothers, husbands aren't helping their wives.

"What Would Mama Do?" airs every weeknight on American Ground Radio.
Tomorrow on Saturday, April 28, voters in Shreveport will be faced with a dilemma: Either vote for $11 million in new taxes, or cut basic city services to our neighborhoods, where we raise our children, resulting in reduced police protection, fewer street repairs, closing city parks, etc. So, is this any choice, at all? Or has City Hall has told voters they have no choice but to do what this administration wants them to do – or else? On last night's show, we dug deep and debated tomorrow's tax vote and the poor planning behind it. Take a listen.

Greg Piatek thrown out of a bar because he was wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat. He sued, and his case was thrown out yesterday.

We talked abouk Piatek's case on Thursday's "Here's the Thing..." Take a listen.
"Dear Mamas, Have you seen the story about Kelly Ann Conway being asked what her husband’s tweets against President Trump mean about her loyalty to the President? Hillary complained that women voted the way their husbands told them to, and then when we have a strong, conservative woman thinking differently from her husband, CNN nails her for it? Since when did the term 'Free Thinking' come to mean only 'Democrat'? Why can’t the liberals ever see their own hypocrisy?"
Oh, the double standards! We took this question to the American Mamas, Teri and Denise, on Thursday's "What Would Mama Do?" and got their thoughts. Take a listen. "What Would Mama Do?" airs every weeknight on American Ground Radio.
