Gov Newsom appoints Laphonza Butler, a Maryland voter and resident to serve as California’s senator. 
FBI has created another group to monitor and crack down on — not just parents at school board meetings or pro-life activists or traditional Catholics — now the Biden Administration will go after Trump supporters too.

The 2nd GOP Presidential Debate 
The House Impeachment Inquiry & More Biden Crime Family Revelations
Oil prices are spiking once again. Why?  
Bidenomics is making Americans poorer and it’s likely to get worse over the next year.  Will the Democrats ditch Joe Biden? 
A New York Prosecutor and a New York Judge have teamed up to abuse the law to claim Trump committed fraud in loan applications for his business even though that is factually false and he paid off the loans in full and the lenders did not claim any fraud. 
Senator Bob Menendez is indicted again for corruption. He allegedly used his chairmanship to do favors for foreign governments and was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, gold bars, sports cars, etc. 
The possibility of a shutdown. The media tries to blame the GOP even though the budget process involves the presidency, the Senate and the House and the Democrats control two of the three of them. 
The passing of Senator Dianne Feinstein. 
Free speech is under attack from the Left.

Friday Sep 22, 2023

George Landrith, Dr. Joe Mangiacotti, Dr. Larry Fedewa and Tom Donelson discuss:
Free Speech is under attack — former Prime Minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern, tried to rally international support for censorship and the world’s authoritarians and academics cheered her on. The Biden Administration has been found to have systematically violated the First Amendment rights of Americans through its attempts to censor social media and the news. 
Attorney General Merrick Garland testified before the House Judiciary Committee and likely perjured himself yet again in his answers about DOJ and FBI violations of the rule of law. 
The Senate Changes its dress code to regularize dressing like a homeless bum like John Letterman. 
Bidenomics is making Americans poorer. The past year has seen the sharpest increase in the poverty rate in our nation’s history. 
Joe Biden’s and the Democrats poll numbers are falling. The once predicted permanent democrat majority seems far less likely given the slip in support from Hispanics and Blacks. 
The Left promotes insanity and then when things get crazy, they object to living with the results of their policies. Open borders and crime are only two of the examples. 
NYC is planning to remove statues of George Washington and Christopher Columbus which will do nothing to fix NY’s problems but emphasizes how out of touch the liberal Left is. 
Latinos for Trump an Hispanic rap group is being attacked by the Left because they are petrified that people of color might support the Right. 
China just stopped exporting two important minerals needed in industrial production. Could be a sign of future economic troubles. 
Garland lost his cool when asked about using the power of government to go after Catholics and other Christians. His answer ran counter to the facts and he looked like a fool — because he is. 

Friday Sep 22, 2023

George Landrith, Dr. Joe Mangiacotti, Dr. Larry Fedewa and Tom Donelson discuss:
New Mexico’s Gov. Grisham suspends the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. 
Speaker Kevin McCarthy Says the Impeachment Inquiry is on.  
Mitt Romney Won’t  Run for Re-election
The Left continues to try to silence any climate change dissent. Why? Because they know they are wrong. 
Will Joe Biden actually run for re-election in 2024? If not him, who? 
Susanna Gibson, a democrat candidate for the Virginia House of Delegates, performed sex acts for cash on an online porn site. But she claims that her opponents are invading her privacy and trying to embarrass her family. 
The Left opposes school choice for “the little people” but not for them
Constitution Day – September 17th 
Piracy makes a return in Northern California 
Failed former Mayor Lori Lightfoot is now teaching a class on government administration at Harvard. 

Friday Sep 22, 2023

George Landrith, Dr. Joe Mangiacotti and Tom Donelson discuss:
The 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. 
China’s economic troubles — why and how far they will extend across their borders.
The coercive nature of the Left’s environmental agenda — “Net Zero” means jail time for those who don’t comply. 
What happened to science?  “Trust the Science” now means “Comply with our Agenda”
The totalitarian Left wants to take your children away and label you a child abuser if you won’t go along with their LGBTQ+ agenda. 
India’s recent unmanned probe landing on the moon promotes India’s place in the world.
Joe Biden announces that Bob Fenton, the federal emergency coordinator he appointed to help in Maui was on the ground before the wild fire even started. 
Harvard ranks dead last on free speech which means it is now an indoctrination center. 
The Left continues to degrade America’s cities. Scott Harris, a retired Navy Commander, survived several deployments to the world’s most dangerous hotspots, but walking his dog in Philadelphia landed him in the emergency room after an vicious gang attack that resulted in teeth being broken off and over 100 stitches and a brain injury. Why? Liberal Democrats like District Attorney Larry Krasner who George Soros’ money helped elect — but he won’t enforce the law. So crime is raging.

Friday Sep 22, 2023

George Landrith, Dr. Joe Mangiacotti, Dr. Larry Fedewa, and Tom Donelson discuss:
The Left wants a new round of lockdowns & draconian mandates;
More climate alarmism and propaganda from the Left to hide their poor leadership and disastrous policies;
Joe Biden’s administration is overtly pro-China and it is harming America;
Joe Biden’s 5,400+ fake emails using phony names to hide his illegal activities;
The Biden DOJ targets SpaceX for hiring Americans rather than illegal aliens; 
The mountain of evidence that Joe Biden lies on a daily basis and that he has received millions in bribes;
The writer’s strike in Hollywood; 
Karine Jean-Pierre claims Biden has “done more” to secure the southern border “than anybody else”;
California Democrats want more legislation encouraging theft and crime with a bill that would impose fines for trying to stop a shoplifter from stealing; and 
Joe the Plumber — who revealed Barack Obama’s socialist leanings in 2008 — passed away. 

Friday Sep 22, 2023

George Landrith, Dr. Joe Mangiacotti, and Kirsten Fedewa discuss:
The first GOP presidential debate was held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. How did — Governor Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, Senator Tim Scott, former Governor Nikki Haley, Governor Doug Burgam, former Governor Asa Hutchinson, former Vice President Mike Pence, and former Governor Chris Christie — do? Who helped their cause and who harmed their candidacy? 
Yevgheny Prigozhin’s plane was shot down over Russia. So Putin has assassinated yet another adversary. This proves Putin is a brutal dictator. 
A congressional impeachment inquiry is gaining support because of the growing body of evidence that show Biden’s horrible corruption and bribery. 
RFK Jr. has been getting more attention and when at the Iowa State Fair, he had a huge crowd. What will his role be in America’s political future? 
Joe Biden’s horrific visit to Maui with his insane lie about his small kitchen fire demonstrates that he was always lying when he said he would bring compassion and empathy back to the White House. 
Joe Biden is driving America into the ground — economically, culturally, internationally, and on a homeland and national security basis. Why is the press still defending him? And why aren’t Americans universally outraged by his corruption? 
Liberal jurisdictions are declaring themselves a state of emergency because they have relatively small numbers of illegal aliens in their jurisdictions. Where have they been for the last 2 years? 
The movie Sound of Freedom tells an important story and it does so in a very powerful and gripping way. 
Former Biden White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki falsely claims that “No one supports abortion up until birth.” That is a flat out lie — proving that she is Miss-Information incarnate. 

Friday Sep 22, 2023

George Landrith, Dr. Joe Mangiacotti and Tom Donelson discuss:
Another leftist prosecutor who hates the rule of law has indicted former President Donald Trump — using a law designed to take down criminal or mob organizations. Two Democrat lawyers — Alan Dershowitz and Jonathan Turley — say this indictment is factually thin and flimsy and legally absurd and clearly just a political operation to get a political opponent. 
Bidenomics is destroying America’s economy. A foundational element of Bidenomics is the dishonestly named — “Inflation Reduction Act.” Inflation is still high. Americans are paying about 18% more for basics than they were when Biden took office. Americans are more than $8,000 poorer each year since Joe Biden took office. Energy costs are high. Gas prices are at a 10-month high, and have been above $3 a gallon for almost all of Biden’s presidency. Real wages are down by more than 3% since Biden took office. The economy is stagnating with anemic growth. Credit card debt is over $1 trillion, an all-time high.  Mortgage rates are at a 22-year high.   
Next week, the first GOP debate will take place. Will Trump show up? Will any of the other candidates have a break out night? 
Communist China’s economy continues to implode. How will their economic difficulties — caused by socialist policies — affect the rest of the globe?  
While Maui burned in America’s worse wild fire in about 100 years, Joe Biden vacationed at the beach and couldn’t be bothered address the tragedy of over 100 deaths and the horrible destruction.  A reporter asked Biden about the climbing death toll and Biden’s response was “No comment” Thank you Mr. Compassion & Mr. Empathy! 
Oliver Anthony’s “Rich Men North of Richmond” is number one on the country charts. What it it about his song that has struck a cord with so many millions of Americans? 
The Hollywood Writer’s Strike — does America even notice or care? 
The Russia – Ukraine War and how the counteroffensive seems to be moving slowly for Ukraine. 
Gavin Newsom’s California is in free fall. Only 16% of the state’s population can afford to buy a median priced home — which is less than 1/2 the rate for the rest of America.
