Big January Jobs Jump, China’s Spy Balloon, Stay Home to Save the Climate?

February 3, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Big January Jobs Jump, China’s Spy Balloon, Stay Home for the Climate?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome a January jobs report showing more than half a million new jobs, although they’re more dubious as to whether Biden deserves the credit. They’re also concerned about the spotting of a Chinese surveillance balloon over Montana near a key military site and discuss Biden’s decision thus far not to shoot it down. Finally, they fume over the Biden administration’s new climate agenda, which seeks to emulate the pandemic-era emissions levels by encouraging working Americans – and even students – to engage from home.

Afghanistan Accountability, U.S. Arsenal Vanishing, Lightfoot’s Crime ‘Solution’

January 24, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Afghanistan Accountability, U.S. Arsenal Vanishing, Lightfoot’s Crime ‘Solution'” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul’s vow to get answers on the Biden administration’s debacle in Afghanistan. McCaul says the administration has been stonewalling on providing documents on how U.S. intelligence was so wrong on the advance of the Taliban, the deadly attack on U.S. service members outside the Kabul airport, and much more. They also shudder as a new report shows the U.S. is dangerously deficient in producing new weapons to replace the many munitions we’re sending over to Ukraine. In other words, if the U.S. got involved in sustained military action, we could run out of key weapons in less than a week. Finally, they shake their heads as Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s solution to the wave of street vendor robberies is to tell them not to conduct business in cash.

Dems Target Sinema, Klain Leaving White House, Tank Fight

January 23, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Dems Target Sinema, Klain Leaving White House, Tank Fight” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they consider whether Republicans have a better shot at winning a U.S. Senate seat in Arizona now that liberal Rep. Ruben Gallego announced he is seeking the Democratic nomination in order to run against Sen. Kyrsten Sinema – who was a Democrat and is now an independent.  Can the GOP take advantage of a three-way race? They also welcome the news that White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain will be leaving soon after steering the Biden administration far to the left on many issues and then unconvincingly trying to spin us on the consequences of that approach. Finally, Jim breaks down the impasse on the Pentagon opposing sending M1A1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine and Germany refusing to send tanks unless we do.

The Ukraine Divide, GOP Embraces Earmarks, RNC Fight Intensifies

December 22, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “The Ukraine Divide, GOP Embraces Earmarks, RNC Fight Intensifies” on Spreaker.

Jim and Greg wade into the sharp debate on the right over how to approach Ukraine, Zelensky, and their war against Russia. Their biggest frustration is the accusations being lobbed from both sides at anyone who shows the slightest bit of nuance on the issue. They also hammer Republicans for going along with tons of earmarks in the new omnibus bill – wasting countless more taxpayer dollars on frivolous projects. And they react to the Florida GOP pushing for the ouster of Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel and wonder why so many RNC committee members are so loyal to a leader with a pretty dismal electoral record.

Dem Primary Fight, Another EV Failure, Kanye & the Nazis

December 2, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Dem Primary Fight, Another EV Failure, Kanye & the Nazis” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the DNC planning to shake up the order of the early primaries and enjoy watching the fight among states and political figures about what the order ought to be. They also sigh as Switzerland makes plans to restrict use of electric vehicles to essential activities if there is a major power emergency this winter. And they have plenty to say about the Kanye West debacle over Hitler and the Nazis.

Why Lake’s Lead Is Growing, Air Force Admits Political Leak, Desperate Dem Tactics

October 27, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Why Lake’s Lead Is Growing, Air Force Admits Political Leak, Desperate Dem Tactics” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they process polling numbers in the Arizona governor’s race and wonder whether Democrats made bad decisions about debating in two key states. They’re also horrified as the Air Force admits its personnel records about a Republican congressional candidate and her sexual assault in Iraq were leaked to a Democratic opposition research firm and got published in Politico. And Jim has zero confidence that anyone will face consequences for such a heinous act. Finally, after years of insisting President Trump and Republicans are an existential threat to democracy, a Dem-connect PAC is spending tons of money on ads saying the GOP candidates are not loyal enough to Trump and that his voters should support Libertarian candidates.

Michigan’s Dead Heat, The Cost of COVID School Closures, New Russian Nuke Threat

October 24, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Michigan’s Dead Heat, The Cost of COVID School Closures, New Russian Nuke Threat” on Spreaker.

Greg is back! Join Jim and Greg as they welcome news that the Michigan governor’s race is a dead heat and one of the worst governors in the country could be in big trouble. They also cringe as national math and reading testing shows horrific numbers that are clearly a result of schools being closed – many of them much longer than necessary. And they react to reports that Russia’s defense minister was discussing the threat of a Ukrainian “dirty bomb” that most in the west see as nothing more than a manufactured pretext for Moscow to use nukes.

Youngkin’s Smart Energy Plan, Biden’s ‘Armageddon’ Blunder, CNN’s Ham-Handed Suspension

October 7, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Youngkin’s Smart Energy Plan, Biden’s ‘Armageddon’ Blunder, CNN’s Ham-Handed Suspension” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin for a very sensible plan to champion gas and nuclear power as a way to keep energy abundant and affordable. They also shudder as President Biden starts blabbing about how Russia has us closer to “Armageddon” than any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis. And they highlight just how partisan and petty CNN’s former leadership was in suspending conservative commentator Mary Katherine Ham for a very flimsy reason and never even telling her.

GOP’s Senate Momentum, Army’s Dismal Recruiting, OPEC’s Possible Price Hike

October 3, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “GOP’s Senate Momentum, Army’s Dismal Recruiting, OPEC’s Possible Price Hike” on Spreaker.

Jim is back! Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the Axios assessment that Republicans seem to have momentum in the battle for the U.S. Senate thanks to shifts in a couple key races. They’re also concerned as the U.S. Army reports it fell 15,000 soldiers short of it’s recruiting goal in Fiscal Year 2022. That’s 25 percent below the target and the other branches posted disappointing numbers too. And they shudder as more and more signs point to gas prices rising again soon, including OPEC threatening significant production cuts.

Jim and Greg also reflect back to the D.C. snipers, whose killing spree began 20 years ago today and claimed the lives of 10 innocent people in the area.
