"GIVE FEEDBACK (or reach out via: https://JosephMLenard.us/contact)" [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2210487/fan_mail/new] CTP (S3E153) Bring Back Standards Exploring more of the fascinating intersection of Activism, Community Engagement, Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, Social Issues, and beyond - all in Biblical perspective We start with a blunt “standards” rant sparked by kids in pajamas at the movie theater and end up in a bigger argument about parenting, boundaries, and what we normalize in public. Then we pivot into a satire song that turns into a serious warning about clickbait, TLDR culture, and why details and context still matter.  • why “let kids be kids” can still require clear public standards  • the difference between helicopter parenting and being hands off  • tough love as teaching right and wrong without excuses  • how entitlement grows when rules never apply  • concerns about adult content pushed on kids and what “age appropriate” should mean  • “Grumpy Old Man’s TV Time” as satire with serious undertones  • media literacy basics: facts, names, dates, context, and reading past headlines  • health realities and the need for rest and self care  SEND US FEEDBACK: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2210487/fan_mail/new  https://tinyurl.com/SubscribeToCTP   CTP Audios: https://tinyurl.com/CTPonBuzzsprout  CTP Videos: https://tinyurl.com/CTPonBITCHUTE  https://tinyurl.com/CTPgear   https://tinyurl.com/JLenardDetroitGear   AI images/videos/audio CTP uses: https://tinyurl.com/GalaxyMagicaAI     https://tinyurl.com/BookPromotionViaFiverr   A Short Story: A Lasting Legacy? book Trailer Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2210487/support] JLenardDetroit SUBSCRIBE [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2210487/supporters/new]- Author [https://TerrorStrikes.info/bestseller], Blogger [https://www.thelibertybeacon.com/?s=Joseph+M+Lenard], Podcaster [https://beforeitsnews.com/politics/2022/11/joseph-m-lenard-joins-savaged-unfiltered-mondays-and-wednesdays-to-talk-mostly-politics-and-more-3276950.html]

CTP Rising Tide Reality (Not the Climate Money Laundering kind, the real Economics kind)

"GIVE FEEDBACK (or reach out via: https://JosephMLenard.us/contact)" [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2210487/fan_mail/new] CTP (S3EMaySpecial10) Rising Tide Reality (Not the Climate Money Laundering kind, the real Economics kind) Exploring more of the fascinating intersection of Activism, Community Engagement, Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, Social Issues, and beyond - all in Biblical perspective   We challenge the feel good slogan “a rising tide lifts all boats” and argue the more honest version is “most boats,” especially when people sabotage their own outcomes. We connect tax policy, inflation math, and personal finance choices to a bigger question about responsibility, education, and what actually improves real life buying power.  • why “rising tide” does not lift everyone  • the Laffer Curve idea behind tax cuts  • separating charity for the unable from enabling the unwilling  • Social Security as a safety net, not a safety hammock  • no tax on tips, who benefits, and where a cap might fit  • wage growth versus inflation and real buying power  • why basic economics and accounting should be taught  • adjusting withholding to keep more money per paycheck  SEND US FEEDBACK: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2210487/fan_mail/new  https://tinyurl.com/SubscribeToCTP   CTP Audios: https://tinyurl.com/CTPonBuzzsprout  CTP Videos: https://tinyurl.com/CTPonBITCHUTE  https://tinyurl.com/CTPgear   https://tinyurl.com/JLenardDetroitGear   A Short Story: A Lasting Legacy? book Trailer Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2210487/support] JLenardDetroit SUBSCRIBE [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2210487/supporters/new]- Author [https://TerrorStrikes.info/bestseller], Blogger [https://www.thelibertybeacon.com/?s=Joseph+M+Lenard], Podcaster [https://beforeitsnews.com/politics/2022/11/joseph-m-lenard-joins-savaged-unfiltered-mondays-and-wednesdays-to-talk-mostly-politics-and-more-3276950.html]

CTP (S3EMaySpecial8) The DOGE Cuts Reality Check

"GIVE FEEDBACK (or reach out via: https://JosephMLenard.us/contact)" [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2210487/fan_mail/new] CTP (S3EMaySpecial8) The DOGE Cuts Reality Check Exploring more of the fascinating intersection of Activism, Community Engagement, Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, Social Issues, and beyond - all in Biblical perspective I push back on the “DOGE cuts” panic by putting the numbers in context and asking why a few billion in trims gets sold like a catastrophe inside a multi-trillion-dollar federal budget. I also argue that public broadcasting and many political spending narratives survive on emotion and headlines rather than clear math, clear accountability, and honest tradeoffs.  • questioning claims that DOGE cuts are widespread and severe  • explaining why Congress must codify cuts for permanence  • comparing a few billion in cuts to a roughly $7T budget  • arguing growth alone cannot erase a structural deficit  • making the case for voluntary funding of NPR and PBS  • clarifying what cutting CPB funding does and does not do  • critiquing baseline budgeting and calling for real cuts  • challenging “balanced budget” claims from past eras  • calling for facts, context, and measurable outcomes over spin  SEND US FEEDBACK: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2210487/fan_mail/new  https://tinyurl.com/SubscribeToCTP   CTP Audios: https://tinyurl.com/CTPonBuzzsprout  CTP Videos: https://tinyurl.com/CTPonBITCHUTE  https://tinyurl.com/CTPgear   https://tinyurl.com/JLenardDetroitGear   A Short Story: A Lasting Legacy? book Trailer Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2210487/support] JLenardDetroit SUBSCRIBE [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2210487/supporters/new]- Author [https://TerrorStrikes.info/bestseller], Blogger [https://www.thelibertybeacon.com/?s=Joseph+M+Lenard], Podcaster [https://beforeitsnews.com/politics/2022/11/joseph-m-lenard-joins-savaged-unfiltered-mondays-and-wednesdays-to-talk-mostly-politics-and-more-3276950.html]
