No One Wants to Pick Asaparagus in Washington State

The Term [r]epublican Has Been Erased from the Lexicon
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - How did the word republicanism get cleansed and almost erased from our common public consciousness and from the works of individual writers and thinkers and politicians? Not even just politicians, citizens. It is almost impossible to read a letter, to read a tract, to read a pamphlet, to read a discussion, to read a debate, to read a Supreme Court decision, and not encounter the word “republican” or “republicanism.” That’….Continue
Conservatives Should Conserve Things Such As Marriage and Religious Rite
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Maybe instead of thinking that we should all be left alone on an island a la Lord of the Flies, to fend for ourselves, we should be thinking about conserving the things in society that are important to us, namely Marriage and Religious Rites. Marriage is a business that the State has no business being involved in. If you want to get Married, go to a Church, if you want a contract between yourself and another human being, form a corpora….Continue
What It Means to be Sovereign
Mandeville, LA - Mike Church Show Exclusive Transcript - People give the government power. Only the people are sovereign. This is what you’ll learn. Only the people can grant power.

This is something that I’m just learning from going back and reading source documents written by Jefferson, Taylor of Caroline and other luminaries, David Hume a….Continue
Where the Jobs AREN'T... Real Unemployment at 11.6%
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - So anything under 90,000 new jobs added is anemic, is a recession. So the real unemployment rate now is 11.6 percent based on the 5.4 million additional workers that should be counted as the U-3, that’s the unemployment rate 3, which then means that the real number of unemployed is not 12.5 million but 17.9 million, which in turn implies an 11.6 percent unemployment rate in the US.

Amazon Caves to Sales Tax Collectors
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - There are seven or eight states that they are talking to to cut sales tax deals with, where Amazon will collect the sales tax. If I have to pay the sales tax of California when I shop in Louisiana, and one of the principle advantages I have at Amazon is that I don’t pay the sales tax, why would I shop there?
