#DDD Presents: Candid Candidate Conversations: Meet Heather Stevens Ah, the elections. Few topics are as divisive (outside politics in general) in 2024 as our election process. Whether or not you believe all machines are bad (or great), that mail-in ballots are great (or terrible), or that your vote doesn't REALLY matter, there's always a disagreement right around the corner when it comes to elections in 2024. How does voting work in La Porte County? Is this the same across Indiana? We now have electronic voting machines, vote centers, and electronic poll books. Are the fears unfounded? Are these digital instruments vulnerable to hacking? Indiana uses MicroVote machines. How are these different from the other large names in this arena (Dominion and SmartMatic)? In 2022 Diego Morales was elected as Indiana's 63rd Secretary of State, campaigning on "fixing Indiana elections." Was he successful? What has changed? Has La Porte County benefitted? Tune in to have these questions answered, along with a lot more! Heather Stevens was elected in the 2020 election, taking office in 2021. She's up for re-election this year (2024). She was unopposed in the Primary election and has moved on to the 2024 General Election to be held on November 5th, 2024. We ask all of our guests to send us a bio, and here's what we were sent: "Heather Stevens took office as the Clerk of the 32nd Circuit Court on January 1, 2021. Prior to being elected to office as the La Porte County Clerk, Heather served 3 years as the Co-Director of the La Porte County Board of Voters Registration. Heather is a graduate of the 36th class of Leadership La Porte County. In addition to her role as County Clerk, Heather is active in our local community serving on the Board of Directors of La Porte County Meals on Wheels and the South County Community Coalition and also a member of the Hanna Lions Club where she chairs the HannaFest committee." #DionsDailyDose #CandidCandidateConversations #CCC

#DDD Presents: Face to Face with Dion & Shawn Today's Topic: Ukraine's elections have been postponed indefinitely. But, I thought we were protecting democracy. This doesn't seem very democratic to me... Let's dig in...

#DDD Presents Coffee Break Today's episode is a look at the movie Civil War (2024) that just kinda went splat. While the movie itself was rather lackluster (for reasons we'll touch on), there were some very interesting (and enjoyable) scenes in the movie. Let's dive into it. Coffee Break is a special segment on #DionsDailyDose that features a conversation between two lifelong friends that share interests in motorcycles, firearms, and love of their country. Dion, host of Dion's Daily Dose, is a husband and father, and has tried to fix the broken system from within, by running for political office (and coming very close to winning) and getting involved with his local political party, leading to a great deal of frustration as well as learning. He's a former truck driver & trainer and was a Correctional Officer at Indiana State Prison for 7 years. Jim, a veteran, a father, and vice president of a veteran's assistance-focused motorcycle club, believes that the time for fixing the system from within has passed, and sees no point in voting. He works a blue-collar job and has open derision for the entire political system. He is a self-professed III%'er, and is a "prepper", believing it's only a matter of time before society crumbles under the weight of corruption.

#DionsDailyDose is going live with a discussion about the ATF Director, the hearings, and why we have so many lawyers in our government. One of the most disturbing things to me during this hearing is how many people are just plain incorrect about the Bill of Rights in general and the Second Amendment specifically. We'll also talk about the Libertarian Convention. Let's dig in. #DDD #ATF #DefundTheATF

#DDD Presents: Face to Face with Dion & Shawn Today's Topic: The (almost) deadly raid at President Trump's home. Fully authorized to use deadly force, the FBI raided Mar-A-Lago. Was this raid for missiles? A terrorist cell? A nuclear bomb? A standing army ready to "insurrectionist"? No. Paperwork. They authorized the use of deadly force because of some boxes of paperwork. Why didn't they coordinate with the Secret Service? Who authorized it? What was the goal? Let's dive in.

#DDD Presents: Community Conversations Meet: Gabriel Gary We're often told that young people are either disconnected from politics or tend to be very progressive. Gabriel Gary defies both of these stereotypes. He's very involved, having started his own podcast and has had some interesting guests, including State Senator Rodney Pol. He's also committed to getting more involvement and engagement from people of all ages, but especially Gen Z. Did we mention that he's only 15?? We're looking forward to speaking with Gabriel and hearing his ideas on ways to get Gen Z (and others) more involved. Some older people can seem rather dismissive when it comes to younger people, but we here at #DionsDailyDose believe that we have a lot to learn from the next generation, and are always ready to hear ideas and suggestions on ways to improve not only the dialogue between generations, but also how to get the youth more involved in the political process. We ask all of our guests to send us a bio. Here is what we were sent: "Gabriel Gary is the host of Gen Z on Leadership and the editor-in-chief of The Cincinnatus. Gabriel is a 15-year-old podcast host, blogger, speaker, and political commentator. Gabriel strongly believes that the best way to learn is by talking to people directly. He is driven to inspire people of not just Gen Z but all generations to get involved in leadership and politics.

DDD Presents: Local Legends: Bobby & Ryli Greer Dion sits down with Bobby and Ryli Greer, a father and daughter Powerlifting team. Bobby is well known in La Porte County. He's a former La Porte County Sheriff's Deputy and was a K9 Officer for a number of years, moving on to other things in order to spend more time with his family. A perfect example of this is his unconventional father-daughter team dynamic. Bobby Greer has a well-established history in the Powerlifting scene, taking home the Gold medal time after time. In 2017, he scored a Gold and a Silver medal at the Northern Indiana Bench and Deadlift Championships and the 2017 Benchpress Nationals, respectively, and a silver medal at the World Police and Fire Games In 2018 he earned Gold Medals in the 2018 Kentucky Open and the 13th NAPF (North American Powerlifting Federation) North American Regional Bench Press Championships In 2019 he scored a Gold Medal in the RPG BarBellum 2020 Gold medal in the Stars and Stripes Open 2021 a Gold and a Bronze in the same competition: Raw Bench Nationals In 2023, a Gold Medal at Powerlifting America Boo Bash in Aurora, IL 2024 Silver Medal at the Bench Press Nationals He's been a member of two different leagues/competition rule sets, both of which are Drug Free and tested as such! All natural raw strength (and a heck of a lot of training). Both Bobby and Ryli are now members of Powerlifting America. Powerlifting America is the recognized United States member federation affiliate to the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF). They routinely test for any PED (Performance Enhancing Drug) and is heavily regulated and controlled. The official policy from their website is: Powerlifting America is unequivocally opposed, on ethical and medical grounds, to the practice of doping in sport and fully supports the position of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) against the use of banned substances and methods. The wins mean a lot here, just as in the previous organization (the USAPL). Now his daughter, Ryli Greer, is following in her father's (deep) footsteps, already earning a Gold and Silver finish in her first two competitions! She's prepping for her third competition coming up on May 24th, the IPF World Bench Press, which we're sure she's going to dominate. Before we know it, she'll have a trophy case to rival her dad's. Affectionately referred to as Shrek and Baby Shrek, Bobby and Ryli Greer are an inspiration for all of us, and we're going to have the opportunity to sit and chat with them before their upcoming IPF Bench Worlds Championship, going on from May 21st to June 1st, 2024 in Austin, TX. Ryli competes on May 24th. Bobby's chance to add to his huge trophy case will be on May 27th, 3 days after Ryli's. Aren't these two awesome? We're really excited here at #DDD to chat with these two and find out the scoop behind this unique father/daughter endeavor.
