The Federal Courts are the weakest branch of government. Why do I call it the weakest branch? Because that’s what the Founding Fathers thought. The role of the courts is that of an umpire, making decisions based on the law using the facts presented to them. Today, we have elevated their decisions beyond law into rulings, as if they were kings and queens on high. How can the United States be a Republic, if we are ruled not by the law, but by the opinions of nine high priests in black robes?

In this powerful interview with show host Randy Sutton, Mr. Elder does not hold back on his views about “defunding the police“ and the anti-law enforcement movement in America.

Racism is defined as "a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race. This idea has taken many forms in American history, including slavery: Jim Crow laws, Black Codes, eugenics, and, yes, affirmative action. Regardless of the euphemism you use, all of these policies are based on the idea that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities. Racism, both systemic and societal, has been a problem in this country for centuries. In many ways, it was societal racism, the general belief in the inferiority of certain races, that led to many of the racist laws or systemic racism. To me, this leads to a Catch-22. How do you get rid of one without getting rid of the other? While we have gotten rid of many of the racist laws in our country, racist ideas are still around, and they have led to other racist laws. One of those ideas is that a racially diverse student body or workforce is automatically better. Another is the idea that minorities cannot compete in higher education, and many other institutions, without the government’s help. Put these two ideas together, and you get affirmative action. We'll explore the recent court rulings and the consequences of these decisions.

Nick Wilson spent years as a California Police Officer and Detective and saw firsthand the impact of Traumatic Stress on himself and other officers. As a result of witnessing the suffering amongst the law enforcement community, he began The Resiliency Project to help officers cope and lessen the suicide rate within law enforcement. Nick has trained thousands of officers, but now, the State of California’s “language police” have outlawed the use of such words as “addict” and “committed suicide” when training police. The censorship of law enforcement instructors is yet another effort to negatively affect our police by the government. 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.

On itsface, the case Groff v. Dejoy, Postmaster General, seems quite simple. Can the United States Postal Service punish an employee for refusing to work on Sundaysfor religious reasons? Mr. Groff took a mail delivery job with the USPS, which did not generally involve working on Sundays. When the USPS signed an agreement with Amazon that included Sunday deliveries, Mr. Groff moved to another station, a more rural one that did not offer Sunday deliveries. When that station began to offer Sunday deliveries, Mr. Groff refused to work those days, forcing the USPS to redistribute his work to other employees. This led to progressively increased discipline, which caused Mr. Groff to resign and file suit. This decision is founded on nothing but a towering house of cards waiting for the slightest breeze to blow it down. What happens when the next judge or justice arbitrarily decides that an employee’s Sunday off is an undue hardship?

While there are many misconceptions about the roles of the three branches of government, most seem to be about the executive branch, like referring to the President as the most powerful man in the world or to this branch being an independent executive agency. Rather than a king, like so many people seem to treat him, we see that the President is supposed to be a servant to the states. Executing the laws and powers of the United States, working with the representatives of the states in Congress to make treaties and appoint officers, and accepting foreign dignitaries are all done in service to the union of states. Does that sound like the most powerful man in the world?

One of the most common misunderstandings about the federal government is that we have three co-equal branches of government. As usual, the best lies have a kernel of truth in them. So while it’s true that the federal government has three branches, they are not equal. Whether you measure by how much space is dedicated to that branch or its list of powers, Congress is by far the most powerful branch of the federal government. Remember, the grievance we were all taught was the reason we declared independence. The reason we have three separate branches in the government of the United States is for the separation of powers. The Framers of the Constitution understood that power concentrated in the hands of a few was dangerous. It also explains why when one branch of government infringes on the powers of another branch, it’s a serious danger to the republic.

As suicide rates rise in law enforcement, first responder, and military communities rise, the emotional and psychological traumas these men and women experience while serving has become a critical issue. A diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can be devastating, and that label itself can severely affect the future of that person. But the Boulder Crest Foundation's new programs and efforts are saving lives and careers. Josh Goldberg, the CEO of this dynamic organization, is show host Randy Sutton’s guest in this powerful segment of The Wounded Blue Hour. The Boulder Crest Foundation was founded by Retired Navy Master Cheif Ken Falke to serve the injured military community.

It’s called the “Protecting the Right to Organize Act.” What it should be called is the “Enforcing the Requirement to Organize Act.” The language of this act claims to make freelance and “gig” workers employees so they can be unionized. Once again, we see the federal government illegally regulating employment, coercing people to join a collective, and doing all it can to destroy small businesses. Experience has shown us that rarely does Congressional meddling in things they are not legally allowed to do ⏤ improves the situation. Instead, it usually makes things worse. The Affordable Care Act, the Social Security Act, the Patriot Act, and even the Inflation Reduction Act. Not only have all of these pieces of legislation claimed to protect Americans, but in the long run have made things worse. Worse yet, all of them are outside of the powers delegated to the United States, and, therefore, void.

These troubling statistics come from the National Fraternal Order of Police and reveal that shootings of police are up 30% from 2021 and 40% from 2020. There have been 47 ambush-style attacks on law enforcement officers this year which have resulted in 54 officers shot, nine of whom were killed. In this episode of The Wounded Blue Hour, show host, Randy Sutton examines the underlying causes of this national tragedy. These causes include more than 60 “activist“ District Attorneys and Prosecutors whose mission is to dismantle the criminal justice system from within, as well as leftist lawmakers who remove consequences from crime and encourage the prosecution of the police. Everyone’s safety is at risk, and Randy Sutton reveals the true issues. Lt.

How long will this train of abuses have to grow before we throw out those in this tyrannical government and restore not only our independence, but justice and liberty? What will it take for us to learn the truth of what Abraham Lincoln said: We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. Election after election, we keep doing the same thing, hoping against hope that this time it will be different. That was Einstein’s definition of insanity. Perhaps it’s not the patriot, the constitutional scholar, or the one fighting for their rights that’s crazy. Perhaps it’s the rest of the country, blindly placing their hope in some individual to free them from this doom. Maybe it’s just that the evils have not gotten evil enough for us to oppose them. Or could it be that We the People have become so enfeebled by our dependence on government that we prefer subjugation to liberty?

Most of the problems in Washington, D.C., aren’t the language of the Constitution, but the fact that we don’t follow it. Think of how many regulations come out of the Departments of Education, Energy, Transportation, Labor, Health and Human Services, Housing, and Urban Development, not to mention the Environmental Protection Agency and the Office of Science and Technology. None of these departments and agencies are authorized by the Constitution, yet they exist and write regulations that are enforced as law, in violation of the Constitution.

The FBI opened the Crossfire Hurricane investigation without any corroborating evidence of wrongdoing while at the same time cautiously approaching allegations against Mr. Trump’s opponent, Hillary Clinton. Not only is a level of malfeasance that should lead to serious repercussions, but the Durham report found evidence that the FBI hid information showing the innocence of many involved. If all that wasn’tbad enough, an FBI attorney was prosecuted and convicted of falsifying a document required to obtain the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court warrant on Carter Page. Where did the FBI get all this uncorroborated information for their illegal warrants? From Christopher Steele. The evidence collected by Mr. Durham seems to show that the FBI, under the Obama administration and beyond, was used as a tool of the Clinton campaign, if not the Democratic National Committee, in an attempt to steal an election and hamper the duly elected President of the United States. Their actions included criminal activity.

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. Veteran police detective Mike Pelligrino has been working tirelessly to help cops cope. That’s why he created “Resilient Minds on the Front Lines,“ a training program that is touching the lives of thousands of American law enforcement officers.

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.

The only reason the United States is not bankrupt is because people around the world keep lending us money, or the Federal Reserve makes it up out of thin air, further devaluing the dollar and pushing us deeper into this fiscal crisis. Like a drunk who wards off his hangover by drinking more, we’ve kept this party going far longer than reason would allow. Some day, just like that drunk, the United States will get cut off by the world. In fact, I think it’s already starting to happen as more and more nations agree do to business together in something other than U.S. dollars. The world trusted us to be their reserve currency, and they’re starting to realize we were not up to the challenge. If We the People, don’t demand that our public servants get our fiscal house in order, then our economic future is bleak indeed...

After 9/11, it seemed people across this country were thanking every one in a uniform or wearing a veterans cap for their service. Men and women were buying coffee and meals for service men and women wherever we found them. We did what we could to honor their service, but somehow that doesn’t seem to be enough. After all, what did it cost us? If we wish to honor the dead this Memorial Day, I can think of no better way to do so than to pledge my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor to the cause of rights and liberty. Will you join me?

Most of us walk around with tracking devices (phones) on us while being watched by a myriad of cameras. We know that government actors search these records about us pretty freely, but is it legal? For a warrant to be valid, it must particularly describe what is to be searched and what is to be seized. While many may point out that these warrants do particularly describe where the data to be searched is, they may not particularly describe what data for which they are searching. This is why judges need to make sure that any geofence warrant is limiting both the size and timeframe to gather the particular data needed. I hope anyone who is aware of a case where someone has been caught up in an overly broad and insufficient warrant, will share this information with the individual and their legal team. This case may be an early step in reigning in government collusion with big tech to spy on the American people.

Have you heard about the TikTok controversy? Several states and federal agencies have banned the app from government-owned hardware. But people are calling on the federal government to do something about the alleged espionage this app represents. Just as with the PATRIOT Act, the RESTRICT Act seems less about stopping TikTok and more about restricting the rights of the American people. Should Congress consider legislation to regulate the foreign commerce of an entity controlled by a foreign government? Yes, but only to the limits of their powers, which is foreign commerce. However, that is not what they are trying to do here. They are using fear of the apparent espionage of TikTok to claim the authority to regulate, control, and destroy any technology they can somehow claim is controlled by a foreign entity 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.
