Hi, Sharyl. I’ve been a loyal follower/podcast listener, for the last few years. Honestly, I found you, after Rush died. I was looking for another good, honest voice. I really appreciate what you do. I think your Maricopa County audit episode and your 2000Mules episode are groundbreaking. I just listened to the episode, in which, y’all were in Germany. I lived in Germany, with the US Army, for four years. I learned several things. As your driver mentioned, the taxes in most European countries are ridiculous. College is another story. Kids in most, if not all, European countries, take tests in the 6th or 7th grade range. These tests determine the rest of their lives. If they score a certain level, they can go to universities and become physicians, dentists, etc. If they don’t score, well, or high enough, they do NOT get to go to college. There are some backdoor ways for a person to overcome and make a change. There is a system, like college, that a person can go to, if he or she makes a strong effort. But, this path is still limited and the person still cannot achieve the highest levels of education, such as dentistry or medicine. So, many fewer people go to university, in Europe. And, as was mentioned, the taxes are terrible. I wish you had given some pushback, about healthcare. Any person in the US can go to any ER and be treated, regardless of the ability to pay. And, we have all kinds of free healthcare facilities. It’s not right, and certainly imperfect. They also tax church membership in Germany and probably other European countries. One way they have driven down church attendance. One has to have a LICENSE to watch TV in Germany and most of Europe, including the UK. They tax EVERYTHING! Now, they must do something better than we do, when it comes to panhandlers. Anyway, please do more podcasts!! You were absent for awhile and I miss your work! God bless you!
OK, you appear to be ignoring me. How about this subject. https://truthsocial.com/users/wertzfe/statuses/108731378729431920
Sharyl,
This is a follow-up to my post on 26 June addressing the Presidential Eligibility in the Constitution. I do not know if you have had time to view, but would appreciate it if you would take a look and if you agree with my assertions that you would use you voice to stand beside me on this issue. If we do not have our Constitution then we do not have a country anymore. Thanks.

Sharyl, this may seem like a trivial statement, but I believe it is an excellent starting point for setting America back on track to begin a return to actually understanding and supporting our Constitution. If you agree that our politicians say they adhere to the Constitution and follow it then maybe this is not something you wish to address. However, I do not think you feel that way. Please take some time and view the information I have posted on my Truth Social page relating to Presidential Eligibility. If you agree that I have mad a sound case on this issue and you make your voice heard, I will be much appreciative as I have found deaf ears in my taking this to my representatives in congress. I believe they are afraid of having to amend the constitution, e.g. Cowards
Thanks.

Iowa farmers are fed up with the empty promises of industrial wind developers who seek to litter the most productive farmland in the world with industrial wind turbines. Tama County Iowa, is fighting back to better protect public safety than letting developers from Virginia and Florida overtake their county as they try to construct 65 story wind turbines. The tallest building in Iowa is only 45 stories, so 65 story tall turbines, heavily subsidized by taxpayers, are not welcome in the County. Here’s the latest in how farmers are fighting back against County officials who are catering to developers, rather than protecting public safety. See our Facebook page at Tama County Against Turbines to see how citizens are fighting off big wind.

TAMA COUNTY FARMER CHALLENGES BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ACTION REAFFIRMING OUTDATED COMMERCIAL WIND ENERGY ORDINANCE
– Ordinance reaffirmed unchanged, despite hundreds of Tama County residents calling for necessary changes for public safety –
TOLEDO, Iowa – June 24, 2022 – On June 22, Plaintiff Richard W. Arp, a fourth-generation Tama County crop and livestock producer who farms near Clutier, filed a petition for declaratory judgment against the Tama County Board of Supervisors in the Iowa District Court in and for Tama County.
A declaratory judgment is a binding judgment from the Court to determine the rights and obligations of each party.
Arp, a member of the Tama County Against Turbines LLC (TCAT) coalition asks the Court to declare the May 16, 2022, Tama County Board of Supervisors’ re-adoption of the 2010 Tama County Zoning Ordinance VI.I Amendment Number 1, regulating commercial wind projects, as illegal and void as the Supervisors failed to provide required notice or to hold the requisite public hearing to allow for public input.
Supervisors reaffirmed the ordinance May 16 without any changes, despite the public outcry by hundreds of residents calling for a comprehensive revision and modernization of the ordinance.
Hundreds of petitioners have called for significant changes to the ordinance last approved 12 years ago, in 2010, after first being a part of the County’s master zoning ordinance adopted in 1998.
“Nothing of substance has changed in Tama County’s ordinance requirements for industrial wind projects for 24 years,” said Tama County Against Turbines Chairman Jon Winkelpleck, a fourth-generation crop and livestock farmer from rural Dysart. “Wind turbines now can tower 65 stories or more, operate at much greater speeds, and can cause more potential interference with communications signals like emergency 911 and other communications systems. That’s why ordinances must be updated to better protect public safety,” he said.
Arp said, “The minimal Tama County ordinances don’t provide safe setbacks from property lines which are necessary to better protect the property rights of non-participating landowners who have not signed easements for wind projects. Tama County’s current ordinance also allows far too much sound to be emitted from wind turbines.”
About the lawsuit and Tama County wind energy ordinance regulations
The lawsuit claims the Board has used the outcome of the May 16 vote “as a weapon to stifle further discussion on the matter.” For example, despite numerous public requests, the Board has refused to include concerns about the Wind Energy Ordinance on any meeting agenda since May 16, and essentially claims that the concerns by Arp, as the Plaintiff, and other residents of Tama County are now moot.
The lawsuit seeks to require the Supervisors to follow Iowa law, by providing the required public notices and holding a public hearing to allow for public input, before adopting the County’s Wind Energy Conversion System ordinance (WECS).
The wind ordinance was later separated out from the master zoning ordinance, as the Tama County Zoning Ordinance VI.I Amendment Number 1, including the Tama County Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) Ordinance was approved and adopted in 2010.
Coalition calls for a moratorium on wind projects, changes to County ordinances regulating them
“Despite packing the Tama County Board of Supervisors meetings each week since April 25, with the largest total and sustained crowds to attend their meetings in 27 years, the Tama County Board of Supervisors still refuses to enact a moratorium or to update ordinances regulating any new industrial wind project approval, as requested by the Tama County Against Turbines’ (TCAT) coalition, which includes more than 1,000 members,” Winkelpleck said.
“The current ordinance setbacks for turbine placement from structures is a bare minimum that means wind turbines can create danger zones on the property of landowners who have not signed easements with wind project developers,” Arp said. “It’s not right that wind turbines can be allowed to encroach on the property rights, and negatively impact the safety and property values of those who choose not to sign an easement,” Arp said.
“Tama County’s ordinances must be strengthened to better protect all Tama County residents from the noise pollution, shadow flicker, the flashing red lights at night that disrupt sleep for people and animals, and to ensure that they do not disrupt emergency communications systems, among the many other concerns taxpayers have about living near industrial wind turbines,” Winkelpleck said.
Benton County doesn’t allow industrial wind or solar projects on highly-productive farmland
Neighboring Benton County, Iowa, does not allow industrial wind turbines to be placed on ag farmland with a Corn Suitability Rating (CSR), which measures potential soil productivity, of 70 or higher. TCAT speakers pointed to Benton County’s land use regulations as an example of how to update and enforce Tama county’s ordinances to protect highly-productive farmland from being used for industrial purposes like wind turbines. On June 7, Benton County Supervisors swiftly rejected a proposal by a Canadian wind project developer who sought approval to build an industrial wind project in Benton County.

*Epstein didn’t kill himself… and yet no one will get within 100 miles of this story.
*Epstein’s list of john’s was no longer going to be protected, and yet no one is investigating this.
*The government came out and told us a few months ago that UFO’s were “real” – that they exhibit flight capabilities that don’t exist on planet earth – perhaps the biggest story in the history of mankind… and yet the media is disinterested.
Can you cover Ice Boom Theory please? Google Joe Barrett Ice Boom. The Lower Great Lakes ecosystem is being severely altered by N.Y.P.A. with an ice boom. It stalls the natural conveyor and causes all kinds of huge problems. Lots of corrupt coverup.
Can you please cover “Ice boom theory” by Googling “Ice Boom Theory”. well worth your time. The Entire Lower Great Lakes ecosystem depends upon it. I love your deep dives into stories. JBB
Hi Sharyl,
Are you against exploring Rokfin as a way to distribute and monetize content?
On Rokfin, independent journalists are making 5 to 7x more than on other platforms because of its unique way to monetize.

Best,

I love your show. The topics are always important to me and I appreciate your honesty in journalism. Keep up the good work.
The poll concerning the impact if the internet went down forever tomorrow is too broad. How about if just social media went down forever tomorrow?
The internet is great for researching, not so much for social media.

I am hoping you can point me in the right direction. I am looking for someone who is interested in in talking to someone who needs to solve a puzzle with out exposing the source. In 1966 I met a biologist who worked at Fort Detrick and what I was told continues to haunt me. Let just say I can conect the dots.
Illinois legislators, including some Republicans, passed this amendment. In order for it to become effective, the Illinois voters in November must vote “yes”. This is a really bad amendment. See: https://www.illinoispolicy.org/press-releases/what-is-amendment-1-an-illinois-constitutional-amendment-on-the-ballot-next-november/, https://www.illinoispolicy.org/amendment-1-would-give-illinois-government-union-bosses-nations-most-extreme-powers/, and https://www.illinoispolicy.org/amendment-1-could-make-it-harder-to-root-out-corruption-in-illinois/.
While this may appear to be specific to Illinois, I can see it spreading to other states. Further, this will just add to more people leaving Illinois because of corruption.
I have great story for you to expose. Please Google “Joe Barrett Ice Boom ” and read up. It’s a perfect story of corrupt powers that be versus nature.

As someone who isn’t afraid to report on controversial issues, would you be able to explain why we (The United States of America) are willing to welcome Ukrainian refugees with open arms into our country, yet refugees from Central America are stopped by a wall and Afghans are left hanging off our planes? On the surface, it seems like racial prejudice. All of these refugees are escaping war-torn countries seeking assylum and a chance to rebuild their lives in a peaceful country. I say, if we are going to welcome one, we should welcome all under the same conditions. Please correct me if I’m wrong. I just would like a clear understanding.
We (the USA) so far is not admitting refugees from Ukraine, except those with family, already in the US. This could change. But, you’re comparing apples and oranges. People coming to the Southern border are not refugees. They are coming for economic reasons, 99% of the time. And, we have brought many more Afghans, to the US, than we should have. Many who were brought here, are regular citizens, who had nothing to do with any US forces or other part of our effort. In other words, they are not at risk of anything other than normal life in Afghanistan. Ukraine is in a WAR. War is what makes refugees. Other immigrants are usually not refugees, besides single exceptions, here or there. I don’t think we need to bring a bunch of them to the US, either, by the way. If bill clinton, obummer and Joebama had supplied the defensive weapons, as promised, this might not even be happening, or at least not to this terrible of a degree.
The definition of ‘refugee’ in some legal contexts is a person who has intent to return home as soon as it is safe to do so. This is still true today, at least for Ukrainian refugees resident in Hungary. Those coming for economic reasons who already had food and clothing and some sort of shelter in their country of origin do not qualify. Even Ukrainian refugees forfeit their refugee status once they declare that they no longer intend to return to their country of origin. It would be interesting to learn if this same definition was once used in the legal fabric of our own nation.
Your story on Earmarks hit a nerve. That is the perfect example how the government is spending our hard earned tax money that we pay to them just so they can give it away to other countries who don’t and won’t contribute to the US. Also, it shows how they use this money to benefit themselves and other interest. We voted these people into office and they just forget about who put them there and worry about what can they get out of this for them and worry about nothing else. The people should be informed on what is being passed and what exactly is in the bill or bills that they are trying to pass.

Where do I send donation via US mail ?
Hello,
Unfortunately at this time we do not have a mechanism in place to accept donations through the mail. Thank you so much for your moral support!!
That was an interesting interview with Eric Metaxas that aired on Sunday morning, February 13, 2022. Complaining about the inaccuracy of Cable News Network is like complaining about the hot weather in Washington when you live in Phoenix.
Fox News broadcasts one conspiracy theory after another and you and and Eric Metaxas have the audacity of doubting the accuracy of CNN.
Shame on you,
Hi Sharyl,
We have information and machines that can provide 100% of the renewable energy needed to run our world, available today. A short list is: Solar dishes that are 2.5x as efficient at collecting energy as those in use today- collecting 15% at night and through cloud cover. Energy storage units of over 50 Gigawatts, enough to run ships around the world, power an electric vehicle, home, or anything run today by fossil fuels. Water purification systems requiring no additional power, but producing 500 m3 of fresh water/day from contaminated or sea water, and returning no brine to the source. (Only piles of saleable powders like salt.) We can run any existing piston or turbine engine off only heat from our energy storage units with zero pollution. These and more are available today and could create a zero pollution world in a matter of a few years. Technology is being held back that is here now, lower cost than anything existing, and could almost immediately stop all the effects of co2 and methane pollution. Our estimates are that we can produce electricity well below 1 cent/kwh, and in a decentralized system. If interested, I would like to talk with your people about the current products and capabilities we have developed.
