Last decade they meant it for evil, God meant it for good. I agree with ashes premise that it had to happen

I feel like I say this every week, another excellent Blitz. I started a list of points brought up on the episode, and quickly filled my note pad.

1) Respect: it is earned, not given.

2) Small numbers lead societal shift Ex.:

A) Christianity: started by Jesus, lead by the Apostles, 12 men and a group of early devotees, <500 at the beginning.

B) Israelite Exodus: started by God through Moses. Very few people fully bought in. Men of sound character selected from the 12 tribes to lead.

C) Protestant Reformation: Luther, Calvin, John Knox, Huss

D) American Revolution

3) Make language great again: BB utilization of "retard, flowing into the changing of the meaning of words.

4) Leaders v followers discussion reminded me of the old phrase, "Lead, follow or get out of the way!"

5) Ashe's point about the importance of problem identification. Badlands does an excellent job of both identifying the problem and bringing great minds, not only of the hosts but the Badlands community as well, together to discuss solutions and actions to undertake.

6).What are the decision rights the government should have? This is a primary focus We the People need to have, to mobilize action to claw back the stolen, coerced or ignorantly abdicated rights. Reminds me of the Franklin quote on the form of the government: "... a Republic, if you can keep it."

Happy Birthday Ashe. I'm honored to share this birth month with you, Mrs. BB, President Trump among a handful of other known Patriots. Best month for a birthday: end of school, summer fun, warm days and strawberry season.

Thanks Ashe, hope you have a great celebration on Monday

Sovereign Radiation is a term I started using last year to encapsulate the micro cultivation-macro mirroring concept.

I think it's one of the more encouraging ways to not only imagine a brighter future, but to feel that we are playing a real role in bringing it about.

I think people still don’t want to believe our elections are fake because they don’t want to lose hope. Not a good excuse but a possible explanation.

Kelly McCulloch's avatar

My family is resistant to lots of good news because they FEAR to hope. This is part of the media weaponry which has been used against us our whole lives….

Burning Bright's avatar

Fear is the mind-killer.

Fred's avatar

Those who support thw fakery say: “We cannot discourage voting, if we do the country is lost”

Which actually means: “The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he’s in prison.”

Yep. This is how people can justify to themselves that voting for the “lesser of two evil” is a choice that is better than voting for evil and expecting a different result.

Burning Bright's avatar

For sure.

The problem is, this stance is ironically helping to deprive others of hope that we will see reform.

Happy birthday, hubby!

Great discussion today! Call me crazy, but shouldn't our "duly elected" congress be fighting not for the people, but for our constitutional rights? If they did that, there would be far less lawmaking going on and a lot of reversals.

Have a great weekend and happy birthday Ashe!

Burning Bright's avatar

I would THINK so.

Which is another reason even the fixation on elections in general could be a case of missing the forrest for the trees.

Thank you for the real estate agent analogy. That is a mental image that I can grasp more easily.

Burning Bright's avatar

Hadn't thought of it before, but felt it fit in broad strokes.

Speaking of summer. If I give you a couple extra bucks, could you drop this a bit earlier on Saturdays in the summer. Chores, ya know. 🙂

Burning Bright's avatar

You guys like the earlier drops?

Can definitely consider it.

Kelly McCulloch's avatar

I vote 8 am eastern time year round.

RockyTopApologist's avatar

But not on this daylight-anti-circadian-rhythm-time? 😊

Kelly McCulloch's avatar

One day I hope all that crap comes to an anticlimactic end.

Kelly McCulloch's avatar

Here I am in the comments but I have not actually watched the show. No time.

Really enjoyed the conversation today Ashe & BB.

I am one that truly believes that "politician" is not a career and that government is not some mysterious entity that takes special years of training within the system to master. Government is FUBAR... all of it, Federal to Local. Our small town local mayor is a very nice person but is totally incompetent and incapable of managing anything much less a town. And commissioners are even worse. It is worse than a beauty pageant.

We can do better. it will take open honest and yes at times passionate debate. So let's all put our big boy pants on.

Keep up the great work.

God Wins!

God Bless!!!

Burning Bright's avatar

We should not have to rely on government competence because the government should be virtually non-existent.

Joe Kronner's avatar

Totally agree 👍

Another Banger show! We the people must RECLAIM OUR POWER!

JDog's avatar

Great show - you both really nailed it, as usual.

Ashe talking about moving the wolves reminded me of the transfer of illegals all over our country. It's most destructive to American citizens and we had no vote in allowing it to happen.

Thanks again!

Excellent. You guys just spent an hour and fifteen minutes outlining nearly every frustration I have rattling around in my head. So much to say. Until people see Congress and the bureaucracies as our enemies, we will continue to talk to brick walls. As I have often said, never mind the normies; we build the future we want and they will follow us into the Golden Age like the sheep they are.

"But I do see a way. There is a narrow way through."

Accelerate.

Burning Bright's avatar

Well how are we supposed to keep doing shows if we covered it all!

Marg Carlan's avatar

Great discussion-as usual

Fred's avatar

2020 was stolen. Everyone elected or re elected is illegitimate, from president to congress to the grassroots. This includes every one put in a position from SCOTUS to fed judges all the way down to dog catcher is also illegitimate.

Burning Bright's avatar

Amazing that this is considered a controversial take in the truth community circa 2026.

Fred's avatar

The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic.

Well you know, we can’t think like that or we will lose the mid terms. As if the way the elections are now will offer us a real choice.

Trump does fall asleep at meetings. I see the footage on OAN. But I think it’s because he rarely sleeps at night or whenever he is supposed to. He is traveling from time zone to time zone whereas Biden, the Auto Pen, was mostly missing in non action.

Kelly McCulloch's avatar

What if he is just indicating that nothing they are saying is relevant in any way, shape or form? I have not actually seen this. But I wouldn’t put it past him.

Burning Bright's avatar

He might just be pointing out the retardation of the fake meetings and their fake decisions.

Patricia Gauthier's avatar

Do you mean that when he meets with his cabinet to inform the press about various initiatives, etc., the administration has done or is doing, that these meetings are “fake?” Are you saying they are designed to mislead the press and the people? I see him falling asleep when he’s with Rubio, Hegseth, etc. and releasing information.

Bleighv05 (believe05)'s avatar

Many times I listen better with my eyes closed. No visual distractions.

Patricia Gauthier's avatar

OAN runs live meetings with many of the cabinet or other elected leaders or whomever is relevant to the topic under discussion with press for filming. Trump does nod off a lot when others are speaking. I do not think it’s due to age but to non stop work and travel and little sleep. Little sleep for Trump is a well known reality and a national conversation.

Fred's avatar

He doesn’t give the characteristics of one who falls asleep while sitting upright

Bleighv05 (believe05)'s avatar

Good morning:

Well, if I had to listen to all the stupid stuff that he has to listen to, I’d probably be sleeping too.

JanF's avatar

Great conversation, thanks to you both!

I never miss an episode, on substack and many, many Badlands Media shows. love how all your minds work and it’s kept me so positive all these years. Thank you
