Episode 914 - Election Fraud and Unity Don't Mix
11/11/2020 Duración: 26minIn America we have been faced with the knowledge that this election is filled with fraud. Some big some small, some really bad mistakes. Politics is a dirty business. Nothing in politics is played fairly or ethically. I love this quote, "If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago, a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today." - Thomas Sowell. Nancy Pelosi wanted chaos in this election, that is why she pushed mail in voting, she knew there would be election fraud. So she muddied the waters so the American people couldn't see it. But now we see, with the water clearing a big, we see fraud going on. Nancy knew it, and she pushed a fraud onto the American People. And then we have the Media who are no longer independent in their work, they are tied to a political party and a political candidate for President. They no longer want to dig into the election fraud that is going on in this

Episode 913 - Media's Role In American Politics Must End
10/11/2020 Duración: 25minNepoleon Bonaparte said, "Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets." Even back in his time he knew the corrupt power of the press and the damage they could do to a nation. He feared them more then bayonets. We have the same problem today with the media in the United States and throughout the world. The media today has tried to censor, shut people down, threaten Americans, so Nepoleon knew what he was talking about. Just think what he would say if he could see what is going on today. We should fear the power of the press and then dismantle the news agencies that continue to threated our rights, jobs, political thought, or elections. Governments won't do it, so it has to be Americans that has to do the job. There are ways. Just look how many followers and viewers have left fox over the last few days because of unethical reporting of the election they have moved over to Newsmax. Look at Twitter and how many of their followers have moved over to Parler. We have options or

Episode 912 - What Happens To Your Taxes and Finances Under A Biden Presidency?
09/11/2020 Duración: 16minFirst let me state that as I write and podcast this, Biden has not been certified by the States as a winner in those states, and there are ongoing lawsuits on voter fraud in several states. So at this moment we don't have a clear winner. But if Biden does win, what are the tax issues out there that we could be facing.

Episode 911 - Joe Biden's Call For Unity Is One Sided
09/11/2020 Duración: 28minJoe Biden has call for unity in the United States, however how can there be unity if the Democrats continue to hate? 85% of democrats claim Trump is "Racist." 61% of democrats believe that ALL republicans are "racist / bigoted / sexist" and other hate filled names to create divide. So unless his party changes - there can be no unity. Political unity can never happen when a party is filled with hate for the other side. Nancy Pelosi goes to the mic every single day and calls out people with very hate filled statements - this is not unity. Social media and main stream media have stated that they can't be friends with republicans any longer, they are cutting off their friendships with people that don't believe as they do - this is not unity. There can never be political unity when one side says, either you vote and believe like we do or you are a Nazi, racist, deplorable, and the hate name list goes on. You see it is only one sided. Beleive as we believe or you are out and we will destroy you. That is w

Episode 910 - I Will Never Lockdown Ever Again
07/11/2020 Duración: 15minI will never lockdown again. I will not let a government harm my business, destroy my life. This Covid has been used to destroy businesses and create an election chaos that has destroyed our elections across the nation by the use of mail in ballots blaimed on Covid. A clever corrupt plan by the Democrats to create chaos. But the lockdowns has done such great damage to this nations businesses, and businesses all around the world. I will not shut down ever again, I will stand and fight to keep my business going. Government does not have that right to shut any business down. Stand up Americans, fight back.

Episode 909 - Nothing Will Get Done Through Government - You Get It Done
06/11/2020 Duración: 25minAll of us have been disappointed with this election. The corruption of the Media. The evil practices of Politicians. We have lost faith in a Government to protect our rights and a media to tell the truth. No matter who wins this election the process of getting things done comes back to us, the American people. Forget about the national political scene. We have to focus on our local communities, what can we do to make our community better and together. So the questions to you American - what are you going to do? It is time to take our minds of the big picture of the nation and to begin focusing on our communities, schools, churches, homeless, Students who need tutors, and the list goes on. My friends, there is a lot of work for all of us in our communities. Strong communities create a strong America. It has nothing to do with politicians getting things done, all they care about is your vote. It's up to us to take care of our own communities, our local friends, our children. Get involve in your chi

Episode 908 - Holding The Media Accountable
05/11/2020 Duración: 27minYou and I have seen a lot of bad reporting. Media outlets reporting news that do not follow ethical practices. Stories that are designed to do damage. News to sway listeners to their political agenda. Ethics in reporting or telling a story is no longer ethical. The Society of Journalists have their code of ethics published on their website. You can go to my book - Ethically Thinking, It's Not That Hard, on Amazon. Page 25 talks about the ethics of journalists and their code of ethics is there for you to read. As an accountant and a mediator, I have a code of ethics that I am required to follow. Right next to my desk here, on the wall, is my accountants code of ethics. I look at it every single day, it reminds me of my responsibility as an accountant. Journalists need to be held accountable to a code of ethics.

Episode 907 - We Have A Media Trying To Manipulate the 2020 Elections
04/11/2020 Duración: 21minAmericans lost an election last night. A media tried to manipulate the electoral numbers and in the calling of states. Then we saw certain Democratic states try to stop the election from flowing through and stopped the count and did not protect the ballots. The media needs to be held accountable for the very bad election night reporting of results. They completely reported nonsense. They gave states to candidates when there was still a million plus votes that still needed to be counted. We saw Fox news have to take back their projections because they were wrong. And then Florida was called for Trump but the media would not report it. Unethical? Yes, very unethical. Hold these media outlets accountable and the politicians that are playing games with vote counting, it has got to stop! If this goes to the Supreme Court it is justified because of the corrupt practices of the election process in various states. Especially Pennsylvania. It appears to be corrupt to the bone from the Governors office on-

Episode 906 - Today We Vote And We Accept The Results Peacefully
03/11/2020 Duración: 23minToday as Americans we cast our vote for President and a whole bunch of other positions. This is our day that our vote and voice gets heard and counted. Some of us may not like the individual that gets chosen, but as Americans we will respect the office and position of the President. That doesn't mean that we don't stop our fight for what we believe in, that continues - peacefully. Those that riot and try and destroy, they don't speak for anyone, just their own desire to destroy and create chaos. This voice is mute. We cast our votes today on the belief that America is a great nation and our constitution is strong, that our vote truly matters. Some of you will win today and some will lose. But our love for our nation does not end, our desire to see our fellow Americans to be successes lives on, and we continue to fight for our rights and beliefs - peacefully. Happy Election Day America. It's your day. If you have any questions or statements, send me a text to 818.252.5682 www.lodge-co.com

Episode 905 - Hate, Social Media, Mainstream Media, Democrats
02/11/2020 Duración: 32minNovember 3rd is election day in America. The day that we get to choose a President and other politicians. It is a very important day. No matter who you are voting for - I love you. Even though you are voting for someone that I don't agree with - I still love you and respect you. However, if you are going into the voting booth with pure hate, hen I am sorry for you. Hate has been pushed by social media, mainstream media and democrats on a daily basis. We have heard it from Republicans also. But hate never accomplishes anything - except it hurts a lot of people and communities. If you are going to go out and riot on election day - I have no respect for people that try and hurt other people. Your voice is not heard but your actions become hated because of the hurt it does to Americans. Tomorrow, we all make an important decision, but your decision is not just for yourself, it is also for your fellow Americans. Who is best to run the country for the Nation. It isn't about your hate, it is about choos

Episode 904 - Stop The Lockdowns And Focus On The Future
31/10/2020 Duración: 15minLockdown have not worked. Lockdowns have done greater damage to nations and communities then the virus. Mental health issues have increased, greater suicides, businesses going out of business, Abuse has gone up, people have lost their jobs, and the end result is that Lockdowns create more death in this nation. This is a virus and it is going to live on. It floats in the air, is on surfaces, moves constantly. At some point in time the majority of you will get it. Lockdowns fail but thinking and moving forward does great things. Worker confidence has grown in the last few months because they know they can work and do their jobs anywhere they want to be. They can go into the office with confidence because they know how to live with a virus. They follow the rules. Americans and people of the world are adaptable and have confidence in what they do and know how to live with a threat of a virus. Let's keep moving forward. Lockdowns are just political power plays by politicians. Listen to this podcast.

Episode 903 - Economy Up 33.1% Growth and Worker Confidence Is Up
29/10/2020 Duración: 09minWe all should be happy that our economy has grown by 33.1%. The other part of the story is that US workers are gaining confidence per a study by Linkedin. U.S. workers are steadily gaining confidence, according to Linkedin's Workforce Confidence Index. The index - which measures how Americans are feeling about their job security. It has risen, since April, it is up by 33 on a scale from -100 to +100. Workers are now use to the Covid rules of work and life are, they are complying, and they are working harder then ever from various places. They have the tools to do their job and they have confidence in the new way of working. Americans are very adaptable and push forward. The Economy is up and workers confidence is up. That is damn good news. If you have any questions or comments, send me a text at 818.252.5682 www.lodge-co.com

Episode 902 - The Unethical Mafia Approach Of The Media
29/10/2020 Duración: 40minThe Media have left their ethics of journalism and become a Mafia group of individuals pushing their own political agenda. The Society of Professional Journalists on their website have their code of ethics and it is a good set of codes. However, journalists no longer follow their own code. They feel their power as a journalist is their ability to push their own political views and agenda. Journalists have become corrupted by politics. That is a real problem because now so-called news is no longer trustworthy. It is no longer pure news, it is a political agenda. CNN, Fox, MSNBC and the major networks have stopped delivering the news. Bad unethical news gives you and me bad information. They do it to sway our views, to create fears, and in some cases to creat chaos. Ethics in the news is gone. So you and I have to hold them accountable, hold their advertisers accountable for promoting bad news based on political agenda's. Hold them accountable. If you want to read their code of ethics, go to Amazon

Episode 900 - Ethics In Reporting The News Is GONE!
26/10/2020 Duración: 22minThe Society of Journalists have a code of ethics that they have stopped following. The first part of their code is - Seek Truth and Report It. That is gone. Now it is a political agenda being pushed by a network or cable news source. Not one part of the code of ethics for journalist is no longer being followed. In my book, Ethically Thinking, It's Not That Hard, I have one chapter in the book called, "The Ethics Of The Media". I published their entire code of ethics, read it, and you will find that not one part of their code is being followed. We as Americans have to hold these reporters and news organizations accountable, hold them to their code of ethics. We deserve news, but we don't need the commentary to push an agenda of the political views of the reporter or news organizations. Hold them accountable.

Episode 898 - Twitter, Facebook, Censorship, Corruption, Biden
16/10/2020 Duración: 41minFacebook and Twitter have done a lot to destroy their business reputations by forcing censorship during a political season. They have imposed strict rules that shutdown freedom of speech. And it seems to be one sided as they will let reports of false news on Trumps tax returns but will not allow documented real news on the corruption of Hunter and Joe Biden. It has become a filthy mess created by Twitter and Facebook political views and agenda. If you have any questions or concerns, text me at 818.252.5682 - www.lodge-co.com

Episode 897 - Divorce, Separation and Your Taxes
13/10/2020 Duración: 12minOne of the most important aspects, often forgotten about, is the tax consequences as you go through separation and divorce to consult your tax practitioners. Go to a tax practitioner that really understands the tax rules of separation and divorce. The IRS has guidelines to follow. Do you own due diligence in knowing your financial and tax situation. You need to understand the separation agreement and all the way through to the finial divorce decree, it will affect your tax situation.

Episode 896 - Democrat Senators Plans - Obstruct and Disrupt The Confirmation Hearings
13/10/2020 Duración: 17minOn Sunday Senator Chuck Shumer made a statement that he was going to boycott the Judicial committee and the Senate vote on the Supreme Court Justice. In yesterdays hearing the opening statements made by the Democrats was about Covid and pointing fingers at the President and Obamacare. Nothing about the role of a Judge or the constitution. Instead it was pure politics and nothing worthwhile to be considered valuable to the American people or the process of democracy and the constitution. Nothing but political games. Worthless.
