politics

Politics does not dictate our collective cultural mindset as much as it simply reflects it; We've got to look in the mirror sometimes, and we've got one.

Can We Find a Middle Ground?
BRYCE ON POLITICS - I think we all know the answer. Click for AUDIO VERSION. The talking heads of the main stream media have been asking for the Democrats and Republicans to find a middle ground and work together towards common goals. I'm sure a lot of Americans feel likewise.

Reflections on Mueller Testimony
Reflections on Mueller's Testimony Before House Judiciary Committee, Yesterday Morning Mueller is clearly not a very fluent speaker, and all too often responded to questions by deflecting to his report, or just flat-out declining to answer the questions. But there were several powerful responses from Mueller yesterday morning:

President Trump vs The Squad of Four
BRYCE ON POLITICS - This round goes to the president. Click for AUDIO VERSION. The 2020 Presidential campaign kicked into high gear this week, not because of anything said by the Democrat candidates, such as VP Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders, et al, but because of an exchange between President Trump and "The Squad" of four far-left Democrats consisting of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) (AKA, "AOC"), Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (MA-7), and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (MI-13). These four Democrats have received notoriety based on their desire to push their party as far-left as possible. This has resulted in a fierce internal struggle among the Democrats, something that was inevitable, and long overdue.

Lately, I've been coming to a depressing conclusion about the emerging character of our century. And it all started with travel television.

What Does It Mean to Be a Citizen of the United States?
BRYCE ON CITIZENSHIP - For Independence Day. Click for AUDIO VERSION. Have you ever watched a naturalization ceremony? This is where people from different countries around the world apply for citizenship, learn English and pass a test, renounce their homeland, and swear loyalty to their new country, the United States of America. You occasionally see it on television, but Youtube maintains a library of such services. All US citizens are descended from someone who took the same oath years earlier. With me, it was both sets of grandparents following World War I.

"Fab Four" No More
Only 18 months ago did we watch the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex—a.k.a “the Fab Four”— passionately talk about their numerous charitable endeavours through the hugely impactful and successful Royal Foundation. The global outlet, created by Prince William and Prince Harry in 2009, was designed to be a charitable ship of which to steer their numerous patronages.

Trump Is Off and Running, for the 2nd Time
BRYCE ON POLITICS He hits the ground running at a mega-campaign event. Click for AUDIO VERSION. President Trump's re-election campaign kicked off this past Tuesday at the Amway Center in Orlando. This was well attended with over 20,000 people inside, and thousands outside watching the rally on large screens (120K tickets were issued). The size will undoubtedly dwarf the upcoming Democrat debate at Miami's Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, allowing no more than 2,400 people in-doors. The massiveness of the Trump rallies perplexes the news media and the Democrats. They do not understand the overwhelming support he receives. Plain and simple, they just don't get it. Then again, maybe they do, but just don't know how to respond.

The Political War of the Entertainment Media
BRYCE ON POLITICS - Was Truman Capote correct? Click for AUDIO VERSION. The liberals in Hollywood are panicking over the anti-abortion bills as put forth by states such as Missouri, Alabama, Louisiana, and Georgia, which will inevitably lead to a challenge of Roe vs. Wade. So much so, they are resorting to blackmail politics, telling these states, particularly Georgia, they will not film in their states if the law is implemented starting in the new year. Both Netflix and Disney have indicated they will pull out if the bill is implemented. Disney is no longer the simple film studio and amusement park we grew up with. Now it is a conglomerate consisting of Star Wars, Marvel, and Pixar movies, and amusement parks, hotels, and ocean cruises around the world.

Along Intraparty Lines
We're a year and a half from the 2020 presidential election, and the campaign has already been a shape-shifting thing, with the biggest Democratic field in history, and a Republican president determined to prove that he and he alone can defy political gravity, a second time.
