Conservative. Outsider. Wife. Mother. Union-busting attorney. Reformer. Fighter. Textile worker.

Joey discusses President Donald Trump labeling the FBI’s investigation of his 2016 campaign as “Spygate”; the NFL approves fines for players taking a knee and other breaking news and headlines in a fast-paced, caller-driven format.[podcast src=”https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/6650129/height/90/theme/custom/autoplay/no/autonext/no/thumbnail/yes/preload/no/no_addthis/no/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/191970/” height=”90″ width=”100%” placement=”bottom” theme=”custom”]

I Know Who You Are and Where You Have Been…and Where You Are Planning to go on Vacation!!

We are in the middle of this investigation of whether the FBI and DOJ were spying on the Trump campaign in 2016.  This is a scary thought that our government may have spied on a political campaign. This is America!!!  What if I told you I have a list of everything you  viewed or clicked on while surfing the web, every app you’ve ever launched or used and when you did it, every website you’ve ever visited and what time you did it at, and every app you’ve ever installed or searched for.

Would it be even more scary if I told you I have every image you’ve searched for and saved, every  location you’ve ever searched for or clicked on, every news article you’ve ever searched for or read, and every single Google search you’ve made since 2009. And then finally, every YouTube video you’ve ever searched for or viewed, since 2008.

Oh, and by the way, I would like to put cameras/microphones in your home and location trackers on you and your family.  Would you let me?  Actually, I don’t have to do these thing because you just went ahead and did it yourself because you wanted to watch cute dog videos.

This is crazy…isn’t it? Not really.

There’s a great article by Dylan Curran on The Guardian website you must read that covers all the information Google and Facebook have on all of us who spend time on the internet. All the things you just read about above…..came from Dylan’s article and he’s done quite a bit of research. It’s scary stuff!!  It also brings home why internet security is so important. Read the article and then imagine a stranger (or your ex) getting access to your Google account and she/he can look up your location and your web surfing habits for the last 10 years.

My Question to Listeners Today: How to Stop School Shootings?

Here are just a few of the text messages I received on the ZeroRez text-line in response to my question on school safety and should we put in metal detectors, retired police officers and/or more restrictive entrance procedures?  All agreed….there is no easy solution.

 

Rick

Metal detectors yes. So what if it takes a little longer

to get in if it saves one life.  How can we afford not to?

 

Ben

Metal detectors… arm the teachers… don’t be afraid

to confront students if you think something’s wrong.’

 

Nancy

What’s changed? The LEFTIST & communists

are educating our kids.

 

Tony

Joey who’s to say if you make one entrance with

a metal detector and they are waiting in the car

with a gun. It makes for an easy target. There is

not an easy fix here.

 

Nate

Metal detectors will not solve this problem study

was done by the TSA they planted illegal items on

100 random people and 96 got through.

 

Cheryl

Hello Joey. The one entrance approach will just

make a whole lot of students and adults sitting

ducks. Like shooting fish in a barrel. The only

true answer is to figure out the true cause of

this. Children r not being guided and taught

character and a moral foundation.

 

Roy

For all those naysayers that say you can’t put

metal detectors in high school it’s just not

practical. Tell him to do some research on

the LA Unified School District. They’ve had

metal detectors in their schools for years.

It mostly came about when the Crips and

the Bloods were very violent against each

other in the South Central Area and kids

were bringing guns to schools.

 

Mike

Hi Joey, more and more it’s a discipline issue

starting at home. I’m guilty and learning how

to discipline again the way I was. Didn’t like it

much but makes sense now. please share this

reading from Hebrews 12:11 with your audience.

 

No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening

—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a

peaceful harvest of right living for those who

are trained in this way.
