PFFL #73 - Politics in 2024

In this episode of "Philosophy from the Frontline" (Episode 73), Rob and Dave discuss the importance of understanding political issues and voting, particularly for military veterans.They emphasize that regardless of political affiliation, it's crucial to delve into the actual issues rather than voting based on superficial factors. They share personal experiences, recounting a period during their military career when they initially did not vote, believing it wouldn't make a difference. However, as they realized the impact of political decisions on the military, they began actively participating in elections. They highlight the significant changes observed during transitions between different presidents and urge service members to be informed voters, influencing their families as well.Show Notes: https://watchingamerica.com/WA/ - Aggregation Site of international news sources that show sentiment toward the US.https://www.realclearpolitics.com/ - Aggregation site of multiple sources of polling data. https://www.capitoltrades.com/ - Track the Trading activity of political leaders https://www.statista.com/statistics/1366899/percent-change-national-debt-president-us/ Growth of National Debt by the president. https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/haitiearthquake and https://capitalresearch.org/article/the-clinton-foundation-in-filthy-rich-politicians/?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=cpc&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAy9msBhD0ARIsANbk0A-kXBmRoRM-9Z1woLt4XGR-fm3gyonhXMw3UAAfCIw3Kq8viLvrZBAaArnqEALw_wcB - One example of how politician use their status to gain influence internationally.https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution - Great Resource for understanding how our country is governed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=men-vp5jvzI - School House Rock, explains it all any other way is unconstitutional. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-wilkow-majority/id1549272753 - Great show not only discusses politics but provides all of his Research in the Wilkow Newsletterhttps://www.youtube.com/c/Forbes/videos - The live feed provides outstanding access to what is going on in government.
