America Out Loud

Let us consider the present all of us are leaving to future generations. Will our children, and our children’s children, live in a country better than the one we live in now? That depends on what we do today, tomorrow, and for the rest of our tomorrows as we try to secure such a nation for them. It’s my wish that we leave them a nation better, freer, and more at liberty than the one we have today. I also wish we leave those generations with a better understanding of the blessings of liberty, how we secure them, and a desire to leave this country to their rising generation in a better condition than they received it. My fervent wish is for the United States to live up to its national anthem and be the land of the free by being the home of the brave.

Law enforcement has been plagued by suicide, retirements, resignations, and the lowest level of recruitment in history. State legislatures, city governments, and the media have created an “us against them“ environment between citizens and their police. The law enforcement community has been battling to discover an avenue for allowing officers to cope with these new challenges as well as the normal pressures of policing. Lt. Randy Sutton takes a deep dive on the impact on policing in America... Lt. Randy Sutton can be heard every Saturday and Sunday at 10 pm ET / 7 pm PT on The Wounded Blue Hour on iHeart Radio on the America Out Loud Talk Radio Network.

If the United States is to be destroyed, where will the threat come from? In 1837, Daniel Webster wrote: “I apprehend no danger to our country from a foreign foe… Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger.” Daniel Webster [June 1, 1837] How do we force governments to stop supporting collectivism and start honoring their oath of office to support the Constitution? How do we educate the people in the spirit of real patriotism?

Widow of Police Officer Suicide Tells the Heartbreaking Story of Her Husband's Death. Sergeant Joe Morgan of the Des Moines police department was a well-respected veteran police officer of many decades when he took his own life. Police suicide is in epidemic proportion in the United States, and this story told by his friend and partner, along with his wife’s emotional killing of her journey, should be eye-opening to all Americans. Lt. Randy Sutton can be heard every Saturday and Sunday at 10 pm ET / 7 pm PT on The Wounded Blue Hour on iHeart Radio on the America Out Loud Talk Radio Network.

Most people are familiar with the Hans Christian Andersen story The Emperor’s New Clothes. Having been conned into believing he was wearing a fine set of clothes, the emperor walked through the village, not knowing he was undressed. None of the townsfolk admitted they could not see the emperor’s clothes until a small boy pointed out the truth: The emperor was naked. Once the “spell” was broken, the entire town took up the cry. Today, many in the federal government walk around believing they are wrapped in robes of power, some because of their own arrogance and others because “experts” have told them so. Most of the American people seem to go along with the lie, not because they can see the power robes, but because of the lies they have been told.

If social media platforms cannot be the “public square” and account holders can determine who is allowed to access their information, we seem to have a legal quandary. Can government actors hide or otherwise deny access and commentary to content simply by placing it on a “private” social media account? Once the government actor places official material on their private account, is that account still private? Then there’s the question of consequences for people who abuse their right to petition their government for a redress of grievance via social media? First, treating social media as a public area is not only legally dubious, but very dangerous. Since the social media companies themselves can determine whether or not a person is allowed to access or have an account on their platform, they effectively have veto power over access to information from government actors.

What is the best situation to raise children? Studies show that it's living at home with married parents. Sadly, we live in a fallen world, and not all children have the chance to be raised in the best situation possible. In our modern society, the role of finding homes for children has fallen to the state. What happens if government actors place their political agendas above the welfare of their charges? With the recent attempts by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to promote not only sexualized lifestyles in children, including denying the sex of these children, the question must be asked: Is the Commonwealth of Massachusetts placing its political agenda above the needs of the children in their care? Why does the Commonwealth appear to be focusing on the few confused children with mental health issues, to the detriment of the others?

Film Director and Producer Conrad Weaver has been creating documentary films for years. It wasn’t until he decided to investigate the trauma that first responders experience that he discovered the reality of police and fire department service and sacrifice. Weaver worked for more than a year to create this film PTSD911, but the reality of the message he was trying to portray took on an entirely different meaning than he thought when one of the people featured in the film committed suicide after its release.

If you’ve ever watched a crime procedural on TV, you’re familiar with the Miranda warning. Where did this warning come from? It’s named after the 1966 Supreme Court case Miranda v. Arizona. Where does this right to remain silent come from, how is it protected, and just how constitutional is the Miranda decision? Why do I make such a distinction between self-witness and self-incrimination? As I’ve already shown, it starts with the presumption people have when they exercise the right. For example, during the trial in the case of Wisconsin v. Kyle Rittenhouse, Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger twice commented on Mr. Rittenhouse’s decision to remain silent after the shooting. Both times, he was apparently attempting to instill in the minds of the jury members that Mr. Rittenhouse’s silence was an admonition of guilt. Both times, the judge had the jury removed from the courtroom to scold Mr. Binger. How many times have you seen actors portraying law enforcement officers claim, “If you have nothing to hide, why not talk to me?” Read the full article... watch and learn from Constitutional Expert Paul Engel; there is always much more to learn back at America Out Loud: https://www.americaoutloud.news/.

Police Officer Allyn Goodrich is an 18-year veteran of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department who has the best and worst of the umami conditions. The unending parade of cruelty and violence has taken its toll, and like many, the horror of the Route 91 massacre haunts him. But heeding the advice of a friend and mentor, he began writing about his experiences as a form of catharsis which he credits with emotional healing, and he found that by penning stories about the kindness and compassion he has seen from his fellow officers, a novel was born. “October Strong” is a powerful and entertaining story about the singular and collective journeys of seemingly unconnected people culminating on that fateful October night when the worst Nass shooting in history took place on the Las Vegas Strip. Show Host Randy Sutton explores the journey with Allyn in this powerful interview. Lt. Randy Sutton can be heard every Saturday and Sunday at 10 pm ET / 7 pm PT on The Wounded Blue Hour on iHeart Radio on the America Out Loud Talk Radio Network.

Do you remember the President who famously said: “We’re not just going to be waiting for legislation,… I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone…and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions.” - President Obama on CBS News. This example of executive overreach should go down in history as one of the greatest abuses of a President’s executive power, the usurpation of the powers of other branches of government. But if Obama’s attempt to overthrow the legislative process was a perfect example, it was neither the first nor the last. When did Executive Orders become edicts from a monarch? Like so many things, it happened slowly, then very rapidly. It started with Congress not wanting to write laws, so they started writing “frameworks” and turned over the details to the executive agencies. Then, as the American people began looking at the President more and more like a king...

Becoming a cop was Scott Medlin’s dream. Graduating from the police academy was one of the proudest days of his life. He didn’t realize at the time that his life would become consumed by the job and that he would identify more and more as the years went by as the man who wore the badge. With every police career, cops see and do things that can have dramatic effects on their mental health and emotional well-being. As he faced the struggles of post-traumatic stress, he found himself drifting away from his wife and family. Balancing his rules began taking its toll until one day; he had to face the harsh reality that he would have to make a choice. In this hard-hitting interview with show host Randy Sutton, the story of his choice will touch you. Lt. Randy Sutton can be heard every Saturday and Sunday at 10 pm ET / 7 pm PT on The Wounded Blue Hour on iHeart Radio on the America Out Loud Talk Radio Network.

A lot of people are confused about how we elect the President and Vice President of the United States. It’s been my experience that the confusion comes not from the language of the Constitution, but the cognitive dissonance we have trying to merge what we’ve been told with what we’ve seen happen. Over the next 13 months, the American people will be bombarded by news, advertising, and polling regarding the election, all in an attempt to get them to vote for a specific presidential candidate. After Election Day, there are bound to be more discussions about who won the “popular vote” vs. the “electoral college.” After that, we’ll have four years of politics and punditry trying to convince us that the president either is or is not, serving the American people properly. All of this is based upon the fraudulent idea that the people voted for the president; therefore, his job is to take care of us.

Parents guide the education of their children, or at least they used to. Yes, with rare exceptions, the state had to step in, but only for the safety of the children. Today, however, it seems we’ve handed over decision-making about your children’s education to so-called “experts.” What happens when the goal of these “experts” differs from those of the parents? Who decides what is best for your child? This is a fundamental question and is often referred to as parental rights. For most of human history, the answer was simple and straightforward: The parents decide. With the advent of governments, opportunities were created for state intervention in parental rights, but they were limited to protecting the safety of the child. Of course, it didn’t take long for Lord Acton’s warning to enter the picture: Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

There’s a lot of confusion out there about artificial intelligence. Some claim that AI has the power of independent thought, which will, one day, allow it to take over the world. Others write AI’s off as nothing but a novelty. Based on my experience, the truth is somewhere in the middle. It should be obvious to everyone that we are heading into a brave new world. One where machines will act more and more autonomously, thereby decreasing human involvement. While this will be a tremendous boon to productivity, it also raises serious concerns. This case involved the question of authorship and whether a computer system had the right to own and control its creations. Today, in this court and this case, the answer is no. This case, however, does bring to light a potential issue.

What are we willing to do to keep the protection of our rights alive and well in America? In our national anthem, we proclaim that the United States of America is the land of the free and the home of the brave. If we let the Constitution fall, then we will no longer be the land of the free, because We the People, have not been brave. I believe the root of many of the problems afflicting the United States and the Several States today, come from a failure of these entities to follow the Constitution. Why do so many government entities not follow the Constitution? Because most Americans have not read, much less studied, the constitution of their country, meaning their assumptions about the role and function of governments are skewed.

Dr. McCullough delivered a speech to the European Union Parliament on September 13, 2023, in a session dedicated to the World Health Organization and Pandemic response. There were four attorneys and five scientists who made presentations. Dr. McCulllough's speech was organized around three main concepts: The Complex has inflicted global terror through three false narratives: 1) SARS-CoV-2 infection is unassailable. It cannot and will not be treated early. The only public health responses are to social distance, lock-down, and mask-up, and take genetic vaccines every six months with no end in sight. 2) The COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective, with no questions allowed from academia, mainstream media, or among peers. 3) The massive human toll of Spike protein injuries, disabilities, and death are from the coronavirus infection, not the accumulating synthetic mRNA coding for cellular production and circulation of the same long-lasting Spike protein.

Just as those in 1973 who thought that Roe v. Wade would put an end to the abortion debate, there are those who thought the 2022 case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health would also end the debate. Both groups were wrong. States like Florida, Texas, and others placed more restrictions on abortions, while states like California and New York protected abortions with state laws. Some states are even trying to take abortion protection to the next level. Not content to protect abortion with state law, they are trying to amend their state’s constitution to do so. If we had a constitutional judicial system, the judges in every state would ignore these state amendments as acts contrary to the supreme law of the land: The Constitution of the United States Read the full article... watch and learn from Constitutional Expert Paul Engel; there is always much more to learn back at America Out Loud: https://americaoutloud.com.

Violence has raged across America, using police shootings as an excuse for uncontrolled riots, civil unrest, and multiple crimes.
