Democrats say Republicans are a threat to the democracy of the United States of America. However, the United States of America is not a democracy, it is a republic, and it is the Democrats that want to change the rules of the republic when they lose.

America's political climate continues to sow division. Red versus Blue, Republicans versus Democrats. Even patriotism is split along party lines. There is division in America with 40 percent of Americans believe we are headed toward a civil war.

Support for Red Flag Laws is met with substantial resistance. However, when written correctly, Red Flag Laws can be constitutional, and save lives. Safety and life is the goal. In this clip from "Episode 56: Why Republicans Should Support Red Flag Laws," I share my arguments in support of Red Flag Flaws. The entire episode is available on the Counter Thought Podcast channel, and is linked on the End Screen of this video. Watch it, and share your opinion or argument with me!

Republicans should support Red Flag Laws. When Red Flag Laws meet state and federal Constitutional muster, they are a good measure to reduce the opportunities for gun violence to occur. However, most Republicans believe Red Flag Laws are an infringement on Due Process and Second Amendment rights.

The parents are to blame for the exponential increase in transgender children. The psychological development of a child is not capable of understanding abstract thought (transgenderism) until at least 11 years old, but children as young as 4 years old are being told they are not the boy or girl they were born as, instead they are the opposite. In this clip from "Episode 55: The Immorality of Transgender Children," I detail how parents create the psychological environment promoting transgenderism for children.

Guiding a child to be transgender is an immoral act. The parents are to blame for the exponential increase in transgender children. The psychological development of a child is not capable of understanding abstract thought (transgenderism) until at least 11 years old, but children as young as 4 years old are being told they are not the boy or girl they were born as, instead they are the opposite. Join me as I detail what I believe is causing the exponential increase in transgender children, and why it should not be celebrated.

Studies prove the role of a father is significant to the development of their child. A present and loving father is a key contributing factor to the healthy mental and emotional development of the child or children. Today, we are seeing more and more angry males involved in gangs, mob violence, destruction, and murder. The common thread seems to be an absent or abusive father. Imagine the lives that could be saved if the absent or abusive fathers were the fathers they were designed to be. This video is a clip from "Episode 54 - What Is The Role Of A Father?"

What is the role of a father? A father is meant to provide, teach, encourage, love, protect, and honor his children. The peripheral pieces of daily life change every few generations, however, the foundation of fatherhood remains the same.

Why won't the Biden Administration admit fault for the crises they have created for the American people? The Biden Administration always blames someone or something else for the crises of America. The American people are tired of the lack of responsibility. This video clip is from Episode 53: Biden Administration Refuses To Accept Responsibility. The full episode is available on the Counter Thought Podcast channel.

The Biden Administration refuses to accept responsibility for the crises of America despite causing or contributing to each crisis. President Biden and the Administration shift blame repeatedly. Afghanistan, inflation, gas prices, recession, food shortages, and supply chain issues all lay at the feet of President Biden.

There is a fight underway to define American values. The progressive Left continues to pull American Values closer to the cliff while the conservative Right digs in to pull American values back to the traditional values of America: faith, family and freedom.

The American Values are in a tug-o-war. America's values are being pulled to the progressive, far-left by the Democrat Party, media, education, society and culture. In this video, I break down the current state of American values, and what I believe they should be and need to be.

Joe Biden and the Democrat Party want to completely change America. The Biden Administration and the Democrat Party are using illegal immigration, administrative power, mandates, lies, division, illegal protests, and inflation to justify the need for transforming America. Joe Biden, his Administration, and the Democrat Party believe transforming the structures of America is the best pathway forward for America. However, as approval ratings show, Americans are not onboard. This video is a clip from Episode 51.

In this clip from Episode 50, I ask the question "what causes the evil and hate that fuel a mass shooting?" Is it one thing or multiple things that result in the level of hate and evil required to kill innocent people? Are there actions that can be taken within our society and culture to prevent evil and hate from developing and festering? Evil will always exist, however, what causes it and what can be done to intercede and save lives? Be sure to watch the full episode, and check out other videos on the Channel.

In the last 7 days, 3 mass shootings have happened in America--Buffalo, New York, Laguna Woods, California, and Dallas, Texas. There have been 5 mass shootings in the last 5 months. Each of the heinous acts were because of hate for a race or ethnicity. Mass shootings are about more than guns. There have been more than 25 mass shootings in 10 years, despite gun laws. Hate and evil doesn't care about laws so how do we stop hate and evil to prevent future mass shootings?

In this clip from Episode 49, I run down the list of recent misinformation and disinformation spread by members of the Democrat party. Misinformation and disinformation has been spread by the White House, members of Congress, social media platforms, the deep state, and presidential candidate. #counterthought #disinformation #misinformation #ninajankowicz #dgb #freespeech

The Disinformation Governance Board was created to protect the American Homeland from disinformation from foreign actors like Russia and China. However, I am not sure the Department of Homeland Security can be trusted--look at the Southern Border! Nina Jankowicz is the leader of the Disinformation Governance Board, but she is a Hillary Clinton supporter and spread the Trump Russia collusion disinformation. I don't trust her or Secretary Mayorkas. If that isn't enough, there are numerous examples of the Democrats in the federal government lying to the American people.

This clip is from Episode 48: Student Loan Debt Crisis - What Should Be Done? As it stands right now, students are the only ones at-risk when a student loan is given. The federal government, schools, banks and employers all need to be at-risk. This should reduce costs, improve education, and improve job placement and wages. If the student loan system is not overhauled, the current student loan debt crisis will continue in perpetuity. Whether you support student loan forgiveness or not, we should be able to agree the current system is not working for the students or our economy. #counterthought #studentloans #wealthgap #studentloanforgiveness #congress #biden #potus #education #homeownership

Student loan debt is a crisis in America. President Biden is expected to decide if he will provide some amount of student loan forgiveness. Many say forgiveness isn't fair, and many others say forgiveness is necessary to close the wealth gap between those with student debt and those without. Regardless of President Biden's decision, the student loan system needs to be fixed immediately. There are many solutions to be discussed, and for once, we need Congress to finally take action. There is $1.74 Trillion of student loan debt in America. There are 43.4 million student loan borrowers. Since 1980, the cost of college tuition & fees has outgrown inflation by 5 to 1. Homeownership declines as student loan debt increases, and the difference in net worth of homeowners and renters is 40 to 1. #counterthought #studentloans #studentloanforgiveness #congress #biden #potus #executiveorder #brokensystem #politics #education #wealthgap #homeownership 00:00 Opening 00:31 Introduction 03:35 Republican Party Messaging Is Bad 05:34 Republican Tweets 06:13 Recommended Republican Party Messaging 07:41 Student Loans Outpace Wage Growth 08:59 Let's Talk About Student Loan Debt 11:32 My Student Loan Debt Story 14:13 History of Student Loans 18:43 TikTok Video Revelation 22:26 Student Loan Debt Facts 24:06 Home Ownership Decline 28:08 Wealth Gap 29:13 Student Loan Debt Shake-up 32:46 TikTok Video Comments 33:50 What Is The Solution? 36:14 Free Advice 37:01 My Solutions for Student Loan Crisis 40:19 End Card

Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law (SB-4C) to dissolve the Reedy Creek District to punish Disney for their speech and actions against the Florida Parental Rights In Education law. Disney enjoyed special land privileges and taxes for more than 50 years. But is this retaliation by DeSantis good? A closer look at the law reveals that the dissolving of the Reedy Creek District won't occur until June 1, 2023, and Disney can reapply for the special land privileges beginning on June 1, 2023. Also, existing Florida law may prevent this law from doing anything. This new law could be a bunch of nothing. However, if the new law passes legal muster, residents of Orange County and Osceola County could be left holding the bag. 00:00 Introduction 02:31 What Does The New Law Say? 03:37 How Does The Law Affect Local Residents? 07:04 Is The Law Legal? 10:06 The Law Is A Miss By DeSantis 12:19 Disney Exposed 13:12 Fight How The Left Fights 16:34 Should Republicans Fight Using Retaliation? 19:17 DeSantis Should Have Called For A Better Law 21:22 Does Florida Need Disney? 23:46 DeSantis Should Fight The Culture & Freedom Wars 24:16 Closing Thought 25:17 End Card

The Flat Earth movement has grown over the last 5 years. Over the course of my defense of a globe/spherical Earth, I discovered there is a growing cohort of Christians that believe in a Flat Earth. These Christians believe in a Flat Earth because they believe in a literal translation of the Bible, or they believe a globe/spherical Earth is a theory designed by Satan to hide God. In this clip from Episode 46, I argue that it is a Flat Earth that HIDES GOD. God performs miracles, and his power and wonder is beyond our understanding. Denying the science of a globe/spherical Earth minimizes the power and wonder of God. It plants a seed of doubt that may one day bear a poisonous fruit during times of chaos.

The Flat Earth movement has grown over the last 5 years. I got swept up in it recently, but not as a Flat Earther; instead, as a defender of a globe/spherical Earth. Over the course of my defense of a globe/spherical Earth, I discovered there is a growing cohort of Christians that believe in a Flat Earth. These Christians believe in a Flat Earth because they believe in a literal translation of the Bible, despite the idioms, metaphors and contradictions in the Bible. There is also a group of Flat Earth Christians that believe in a Flat Earth because they don’t trust the government and prefer conspiracy theories about NASA, or they believe a globe/spherical Earth is a theory designed by Satan to hide God. I argue that it is a Flat Earth that HIDES GOD. God performs miracles, and his power and wonder is beyond our understanding. Denying the science of a globe/spherical Earth minimizes the power and wonder of God.

Elon Musk should buy Twitter in a hostile takeover maneuver. Elon Musk believes censorship is bad, and should be stopped. Elon Musk believes more speech is better. I agree! I also believe a takeover of Twitter and the end of censorship will impact the censorship ideologies of Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok. What Do You Think? This video is a clip from Episode 45 - Will Elon Musk Save Twitter and Free Speech? released 4/13/2022.

Elon Musk now owns 9.3 percent of Twitter shares. A purchase of $2.9 billion. Elon Musk decided not to join the Board of Directors so what does that tell us about his intentions with Twitter? Now that Elon Musk is not constrained by the Board, it is said Twitter will value his input. However, will Elon Musk buy more shares of Twitter?
