What’s That Smell?

Even with Rob out, we’re glad to celebrate a great week for democracy! Our guests this week are old friends of ours, Mark and Mollie Hemingway, and they’re here to take us through the irregularities of last November and why it doesn’t have to be nefarious, illegal or fraudulent to call it “Rigged!”

Maybe somebody should write a book with that title. Well, maybe somebody has. (Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections) We get into procedural foul play, institutional corruption and media malfeasance; not to mention fights over fish… They even have some hope that laying the groundwork for restoring democratic confidence might be slowly underway, and some thoughts on how to speed it up.

Our hosts also chat about a winsome week for Republicans; Peter is educated on milk discourse and James give clock changing as thorough a defense as it could hope for. Congratulations to our Braves fans!

Music from this week’s podcast: That Smell by Lynyrd Skynyrd

    What a great couple of guests – I have yet to be infected with the “too much Hemmingways” that can occur sometimes when every podcast has the same guest on. Listening to this made me want to hunt down more interviews. I enjoyed @ exjon ‘s interview with Mark the other day, but already want more. ha.

    Anyone have other podcasts with them being interviewed? Appreciate ya.

    I sure do miss The Hemmingways podcast and Molly with David on The Federalist Radio Hour as well.

    Until next week folks!

    There was a great Federalist Radio Hour a few weeks ago with Mollie being interviewed by Emily Jashinsky. HEre’s the link, if you missed it at the time.

    A new book by John Fund also talks about the insecurity of our elections.

    John’s been writing about that for at least 15 years. Until the 2020 election, the R establishment yawned. My wife got a similar reaction from the Illinois GOP in 2006.

    He was really good on Dennis Prager last week.

    It’s okay if it is integral to the plot.

    Ricochet Audio Network: and why it doesn’t have to be nefarious, illegal or fraudulent to call it “Rigged!”

    Although, in the case of the 2020 election, it was in fact nefarious, illegal, and fraudulent. And stolen.

    And rigged, too.

    I’m confused. Peter refers to Winsome as an African American. She stated she was from Jamaica. My sense of geography is poor but I don’t believe Jamaica is anywhere near Africa.

    I now understand using the terminology Person of Color. I wouldn’t mind going back to using the terminology: White, Black, Brown, Yellow. I did know an Albino person in college in the 50’s and the term White was forever nuanced.

    Winsome Sears self-identifies as black, not a “person of color” or other label.

    And so I say to you, victory, indeed! But I say to you, there are some who want to divide us, and we must not let that happen. They would like us to believe we are back in 1963 when my father came. We can live where we want. We can eat where we want. We own the water fountains. We have had a black president elected not once but twice. And here I am, living proof.

    In case you haven’t noticed, I am black, and I have been black all my life. But that’s not what this is about. What we are going to do is we are going to now be about the business of the commonwealth.

    The trucker in New Jersey said something that I thought was really important in one of his interviews. He won’t let people say “leaders” when they mean “legislative officials”. It is so much better when we have guys that are heavily into civics like that. Moving off of that I think really hurts conservatives and libertarians.

    This is exactly what I’m talking about.

    As they’re Lutheran, both Hemingways periodically provide political analysis on the LC-MS (Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod) allied podcast Issues, Etc.:

    Unfortunately, as an LCMS Lutheran, I stopped listening to Issues, Etc. as I feel they were saying too many things that were Midwestern Political instead of spiritually focused.  But it was great when they had the Hemingways on.
