In today's episode of Steady Point we discuss the ongoing opioid epidemic killing over 100,000 Americans a year. We then talk about how I don't agree with government involvement in the lives of minors in Desantis's law to ban social media accounts to anyone under 14 and with parental consent for 14 and 15 year-olds.

Dave Portnoy shows his generosity by raising 1.5 Million Dollars for slain NYPD Jonathan Diller's family.

Today's episode features a nice long discussion on abortion, the FDA, the NCAA tournament drama in Idaho, and a earlier report on the horrendous right-wing extremist groups plaguing that area. Plaguing that area with the freedoms they have a right too. Like freedom of speech in saying something along the lines of, "I came here to escape diversity," which, for all intents and purposes doesn't sound like a bad thing to do. Here are the articles featured in today's episdoe:

In Steady Point episode 2 we cover several topics including the back and forth on the cease-fire in the UN. What Trump has to say to Israel.

R.I.P. Officer Diller NYPD. Leaving behind a wife and a one-year-old, shot by Guy Rivera. We speak on that case a bit.

Including the University of Toronto's new research results about black students (who, presumably, don't shoot cops) and their challenges facing placement in a surgical residency.

Steady Point is my solo podcasting project underneath the platform, “Conservative Conversations.” Here are the articles featured in the podcast so you can read them and gain your own opinion. Jake and I should be back here shortly while we figure out scheduling for our podcast together. In the meantime, and beyond I’ll be producing these solo podcasts as an extension of the platform. My apologies to those who love my writing; I have not created any writing recently. I am working on becoming a better writer; until then, you’ll have to settle for my voice.

Article 1: Altercation at Border

Article 2: Social Media Calls for Violence

Article 3: Moscow Suspects Beaten

Article 4: Supreme Court Abortion Pill Case

Jake and I dive into the necessity of football and other high-order games that societies play to keep their populations satisfied with life. We talk about the Big 5 personality model and the Dark Tetrad personality model; and how they apply to people who use social media.

In this episode,

Jake and I are granted a visit by one JRCCreasey. We speak briefly about the border issue with Texas. My claim is that a national divorce is more of a pre-condition to Civil War than the legal battle between Texas and the Federal Government. Jake agrees with this notion. We then touch a bit on religion and the bible. Soon thereafter, Mr. Creasey joined us for a discussion about Canada and their perspective on many United States issues. We talk about Jordan Peterson, amongst others. Jake had several questions he asked the Canadian, and there’s only one way to find out—listen.

Jake and I break down hunting ethics, firearms, philosophy, and Conservatism. Packed full of great conversation and interesting topics. We also talk a lot about liberal paradigms and how they subsequently ruin policy, how the media twists their lies, or anyone’s words for that matter, merely for the production of anxiety. Being aware of these premises and paradigms is essential to living an appropriate conservative life, without the ideological restrictions of being an ideologue. Sounds difficult, or maybe impossible? I’d say difficult, surely not impossible, the allowance of conflict and a deep comprehension of the irrationalities of Human Nature plus mastery in the concept will grant one the ability to do so.

Hello, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your continued support and interest in the podcast. It has grown fairly quickly in just the short time we've been on the radio waves. This episode goes into what a paradigm is to a political theory, and how conservatives lack paradigmatic themes in their everyday lives, including politics. The battleground of ideas rest, comfortably, in the psychological, theological, and philosophical realms. Therefore, linguistic discipline, and basic comprehension skills will go a very long way.

Jake and I dive deep into such topics like the Barbary wars, American history, conservative tradition, values, and paradigmatic themes compared to our liberal counterparts. We start with the clash between Texas and the Biden administration over Shelby Park, and slowly work our way into what a nation is, what it should be, and what national loyalty looks and sounds like. The competitive nature about nations, and how it’s nested in a larger understanding of heritage, shared language, tradition, culture, religion and law.
