This Week – Oregon’s True Grassroots Candidates

For perhaps the first time ever, we have three guests on this week from around Oregon. Three grassroots candidates who are making their case why you should choose them over establishment candidates and “experienced” politicians.

Hey. And on that note. Be sure to check out the devastating (to democrats) poll that OPB just released. Get the OPB Poll and our analysis.

We welcome back Angela Plowhead to discuss psychological warfare, the state of psychology and whether more or less regulation is needed. We also talk with Marc Thielman about the Left filing harassment lawsuits against him (where have we seen that before…?), education, and dealing with opposition once inside the halls of government. And we talk again with Dr. John Di Paola on a damning GAO report that found the CDC, FDA, and NIH, all lied about covid and did so for political purposes.

Bridget Barton - Outsider candidate for Oregon governorShow Summary: Why elections matter. All elections. Not just the ones at the top of the ticket. But all the way down to city councilors, D.A.s, and judges—as one governor found out too late. And we talk with outsider, Bridget Barton on her own run for Oregon’s governor and how she’ll fix the quagmire of Oregon’s government when most everyone in that government will be against her.

Note: As mentioned on KFIR, here is the abbreviated episode with only Bridget Barton‘s segments

This Week – The Importance of Elections

Far, far too many people only vote for those at the top of the ticket. In part, because those are the names the recognize. Who pays attention to city councilors or district attorneys, right?

We all should. Because this week, we talk with Kimberly Hermann, the general counsel for the Southeastern Legal Foundation about the strange case of a George Soros prosecutor in Missouri, Kim Gardner. Garnder targeted and removed a duly elected governor from office.

But it turns out that the prosecutor made it up. Just like in the Russia collusion narrative concocted by democrats, there was no evidence, and Gardner lied about it. But—mission accomplished—she effectively removed the duly elected governor.

But it’s not over. Because now, Southeastern Legal Foundation, which is John Solomon’s attorney, won their case before Missouri’s Supreme Court to get public records from Gardner’s office, including all communications between state officials, individuals, groups, and even Gardner’s real boss: George Soros.

Bridget Barton for Oregon Governor

We continue our discussion on why elections matter as we welcome first-time guest, Bridget Barton, who is one of many (too many!) Republican candidates for Oregon’s governor. Bridget Barton is definitely a political outsider as a first-time candidate and clearly not the preferred pick of the ORP. Oregon Republican Party.

But what separates her from the pack? What makes her uniquely qualified to tackle Oregon’s version of “The Swamp”?

To find out more about Bridget Barton as a candidate, head to www.bridgetbartonfororegon.com

Bridget has a 30-year career of running a successful conservative business magazine, Brainstorm NW, in which they advocated for conservative solutions to Oregon’s many problems. If only Oregon had listened, maybe we wouldn’t be a national leader of how not to solve problems. Like crime, homelessness, and addiction.

Be sure to tune in to hear her solutions, which have worked when they’ve been tried, and what makes her personal story so relevant to Oregon’s problems.

Show Summary: We continue our look into Oregon’s competitive congressional districts: 4, 5, and 6. This week, we talk with Dr. Angela Plowhead, a clinical psychologist and veteran, who is running in Oregon’s sixth congressional district. We talk with her about the psychological warfare unleashed on American citizens — by their own government — and the hypersexualization unleashed on our school kids. We also talk with bestselling author and “recovering attorney” Scott McEwen about the Trump RICO lawsuit against Hillary Clinton. Oh, Lordy. This could be great.

This Week – In a World Gone Crazy… Send in a Professional

From the bottom up, Conservatives are standing up and running for office after being furious over the far-left’s dark agenda of CRT, post-birth abortion, suicide assistance, and sex camps for kids. You’re probably thinking, wait, what?

Yes. Sex camps and school curriculum focused on teaching our young children about sex while attempting to blur or destroy their personal identity. Childhood should be innocent, not have weird adult fantasies pushed at them. The hypersexualization of children by schools and society needs to stop. And in case you don’t think this is a real problem, three teachers in Oregon were just arrest in the last 10 days for sex crimes against kids. Including a fourth-grade school teacher in McMinnville.

Concerned about the hypersexualization of school kids? Consider joining a chapter of Parents’ Rights in Education. Here’s Oregon’s Facebook page.

Normal adults don't tell kids to keep secrets from their parents. Normal adults have no inclination to talk to 5–9 year olds, who are not their children, about sex and gender switching. Perverts and predators do.
Allie Beth Stuckey nails it

First up, to discuss her run for the newly created Congressional District 6, clinical psychologist, Dr. Angela Plowhead, is now devoting her time and energy to fight the wrong “thinking” of the far-left. A former intelligence officer in the US Air Force, Dr. Plowhead, analyzed data to understand how the people of authoritarian and communist countries were being manipulated and attacked by their own government. That training has helped her diagnose the far-lefts approach to CRT curriculum and what they are hoping to accomplish.

And Dr. Plowhead is deeply worried about the loss of our freedoms and the psychological warfare being unleashed by our government on our own people. Listen to find out her professional take on what the far left has been doing to our kids. With so much to discuss we are asking her back in a few weeks for a Part II interview.

The Trump Lawsuit: Trump files RICO lawsuit against Hillary Clinton

Lock her up! Lock her up! How many times have we heard that at Trump rallies? Could it be one step closer to reality?

Last week, Trump filed a lawsuit, alleging RICO violations. We talk with fan-favorite, bestselling author, and “recovering attorney,” Scott McEwen, about the Trump lawsuit. Does filing a RICO lawsuit give it more weight?

And, as only Trump could do, he managed to draw a Clinton-appointed judge to hear the case. One would think the judge would recuse himself, seeing that he was appointed by the husband of the accused. But then again, there’s no corruption like Clinton corruption. Just imagine the howling by the Left if Trump had drawn a Trump-appointed judge.

Looking for Scott’s books? Check out his list of books on I Spy Radio’s store page — or head to www.ScottMcEwen.com

We ask Scott about that clear conflict of interest. And you would think this would be a slam dunk, considering there has already been judicial rulings that found, yes, people did try to sabotage Trump with Russia collusion. Is the whole point of this is to get to discovery? And what then?

This Week – Citizens Answer the Call

Listeners of I Spy Radio are very knowledgeable about the Elliott Forest and the State of Oregon’s own attempts to sabotage the School Trust lands. And do everything possible not to obey their own laws. Recently, Oregon voted to effectively take the Elliott offline and remove it from production. And pay OSU to “study” the forest. Which means Oregon has moved it from an income production (an asset) to an expense (a liability).

That’s a violation of the law. The School Trust lands were to be held by the state, log them, and use the proceeds to pay into the School Trust.

We talk to first-time guest, Dr. Dave Sullivan, an emeritus professor, school of business, at Oregon State University. He has stepped up and is suing the State of Oregon for violating the law and their financial responsibility. To the schools. To the taxpayers. And to our school children.

“School trust lands were granted to states at the time of statehood for the sole purpose of generating revenue in perpetuity for public education.” – Oregon Advocates for School Trust Lands

Dr. John Di Paola – Fed Up with Congress

John Di Paola had a good, long career as a busy orthopedic surgeon. But never expected the complete mismanagement of covid by the government. As a recently retired orthopedic surgeon, John had more than a bit to say about the government’s covid mismanagement that endangered his patients.

Looking for more information about Dr. John Di Paola and his run for congress in Oregon’s CD5 Head to www.dipaolaforcongress.com

John Di Paola came across this series of workshops Oregon wants to teach kids. Including "The Case for Porn Literacy."
Oregon’s “educators” sexuality workshops, including “The Case for Porn Literacy”

After his planned retirement in July 2020, he finally had some time to start reading and looking around and the more he looked, the more horrified and angry he became. From what was happening in our schools, attacks on small businesses, the border — there was no end of problems.

We talk with John about what else convinced him to run. He shares with us his thoughts on the destruction of America’s education system, which has become an indoctrination center for every whim of the far left. And he talks with us about bringing back businesses to Oregon.

Check out the “My Future, My Choice” sexuality workshops John’s wife found being offered by the Oregon Dept of Human Services. Including “The Case for Porn Literacy”.

We’ll have to have John Di Poala back on before the election. We really feel we only just scratched the surface with him.

This Week – Elections & Election Theft, Part 2

We welcome back Don Powers, who is part of a team looking at voter fraud and election theft around the country — and what is happening right here in Oregon. Don Powers is the co-chair of election integrity for the Oregon Republican Party (ORP). Odd, though, that the ORP doesn’t believe election theft happened in 2020 and doesn’t want candidates talking about it as an issue, as we talked about last week.

Read the article from John Solomon’s Just the News: Ballot Bombshells: 20 examples exposing fraud, illegalities and irregularities in 2020 election

This week, we talk more details about what Don’s team has uncovered in other states. Clear examples of voter fraud. Clear and proven examples of election theft. In Wisconsin. In Georgia. In Arizona. We hear about “missing data”. Ballot harvesting. Mules. And so much more.

And, most importantly, what’s the remedy? Decertify? What would that mean? Take a listen to find out.

Yes, Oregon, There Really Is Election Theft

Are the examples of election theft in other states happening here in Oregon? Absolutely.

When it comes to voter fraud and election theft, I think this, from John Solomon, really nails it: “At this point, there is no downside to cheating in Wisconsin [Or any state, I might add], when you have a governor that is shutting down a lot of the things that we — as Republicans and Democrats — have thought would make a fair and transparent election,”

No downside to cheating.

Think of where that leads.

This Week – Elections & Election Theft

Yes, there really was election theft in 2020. Yes, the election was stolen. The evidence is becoming overwhelming. So why is the Oregon Republican Party denying it? Why are they telling candidates not to discuss it?

We talk with now former superintendent of the Alsea School District, Marc Thielman, who stepped down to focus full time on his race for governor. Naturally, the left wing Democrat-Herald immediately launched a smear campaign against him.

Obviously they don’t want him in the race. What are they afraid of?

Evil in the Oregon Republican Party?

We also talk with Thielman about the recent events in the ORP, the Oregon Republican Party. Which, once again, is in disarray. And in an election year when Republicans should be winning going away.

Read Dallas Heard’s resignation letter, resigning as chairman of the ORP

Yes, there was cheating in 2020’s election

Then we talk with Don Powers about election theft and voter fraud in 2020’s elections. Yes, there are clear examples of fraud and election theft. What will it take to convince people that it really did happen?

People like the ORP.

Despite Don Powers being the Co-Chair of Election Integrity at the ORP, the official position of the ORP is that it didn’t happen and that candidates shouldn’t talk about it.

Read the explosive article from John Solomon’s Just the News: Ballot Bombshells: 20 examples exposing fraud, illegalities and irregularities in 2020 election

Show Summary: Economics is always a strange business. But like so much else of American life, the Left is corrupting the economy and using it for their own means. Especially by involving the government. And now, with the Ukraine situation, we’re seeing private businesses waging a private war against Russia — when we’re not even at war with them. Combined with what happened in Canada, is this a foreshadowing of what will happen to our economic freedoms and liberties?

This Week

To quote Bill Clinton, “it’s all about the economy, stupid.”

We take a look at the state of the union speech, the competency of those in charge and their agendas, the economy, and also the economic policies that politicians can win on this year. Even here in Oregon. Plus, with the war in Ukraine, we’re seeing an entire new kind of warfare being waged. Economic warfare on a scale we haven’t seen in ages and in ways we’ve never seen. Private companies waging a private war against a country we’re not actually at war with. Combined with what we saw in Canada, what does this mean for our economic freedoms and liberties?

READ: Jonathan’s terrific article about Utah and why they’ve stayed #1 in ALEC’s Rich States, Poor States for 14 years in a row. What are they doing that other states should be doing. And what could go wrong to knock Utah off its perch?
Get this article to your favorite candidate!

We talk with Chief Economist, Jonathan Williams, from ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council) about what is going on. We talk about the SOTU speech, the competency of those in charge, and private companies blocking you when they don’t agree with your politics. And we’ll look at true economic policies to win on in 2022. Even right here in Oregon.

And don’t miss the discussion about what is happening, on economic terms, in the war between Russia and Ukraine. And what it means for our future economic liberties and freedom.

Take Action! Run for Office in 2022! List of Empty Seats in Oregon

By | | Comments 0 Comment

Summary: March 8, 2022, the filing deadline, ended with multiple legislative races in Oregon with no candidates—ten seats in total (4 seats with no Republican candidate; six with no democrat candidates). These uncontested seats were an opportunity for conservative candidates who could potentially have advanced to the general election simply by registering to run in the primary.

Take Action Briefing

What: Oregon needs good conservatives to run for office. The list below shows open seats with no current candidate.
Who: All conservative Oregonians. Republicans and democrats. (NAVs don’t have primaries.)
How: Take action right now register with the state of Oregon for one of the seats that currently have no candidates.
When: Now, now, now! You must register for office by Tuesday, March 8, 2022 at 5 p.m.
Why: If there are no other primary candidates for your political party, you will advance to the general election. In a year that should be good for conservatives up and down the ballot, way too many of these possible legislative seats have no candidates at. Do you really want to just give up a seat to the crazy Left? In New Jersey, some seats were won by conservatives in the general election spending less than $2,500. Oregon is struggling and they need your help!

The List of Uncontested Seats in Oregon for May 2022 Primary (PDF)

NOTE: If you are not seeing the latest update (March 7, 7:30 pm), you may need to delete cookies and empty cache. Or try refreshing the page.

No Republicans running in HDs 44, 45, 47 (all Multnomah County)
No Democrats running in HDs 4 & 9 (SW Oregon), 17 Linn/Marion), 57 (Central OR), and 58 & 60 (E & SE Oregon)
SD 4 ended with no Republican in the race against a well-established incumbent

Pretty much all of Oregon’s state house and senate districts have been changed. So if you’re not sure, double-check which Oregon district you live in. (Search field in upper right-hand corner.)

This week, it’s a roundup of some craziness around Oregon. The continuing boondoggle that is the Elliott Forest as, once again, Oregon tries to divest itself of a billion-dollar asset that, by law, is supposed to generate income for the state school funds. But they’d rather stare at trees. (Literally!)

Be sure to listen to the bloviating answer to Bob Zybach’s question during OSU’s Q&A

And we talk with fan-favorite, Chuck Wiese, to give us his punditry about the emptying of prisons, one of which was given back to the federal government — but now Oregon wants to lease one of them (which just happens to be right on the edge of the Elliott) back from the feds and put those men-who-stare-at-trees in it. WHAT is going on.

Governor Kate Sued over Prisoner Release & Clemency Abuse

  • Gov. Kate unlawfully commuting prison sentences (KGW, Jan 21, 2022)
    • Brown announced she was using her clemency powers to let those inmates benefit from Oregon Senate Bill 1008, which passed in 2019 and reforms the juvenile justice system. AG Perlow said, the Governor’s priority is offenders of crimes, many of them violent, and ensuring they have a ‘meaningful opportunity to be released’ before they complete their duly secured criminal sentences,” she said in a statement about the legal petition. “Victims of crime, and all other Oregonians, deserve the enforcement of their rights. It is essential that all Oregonians, including public officials, adhere to the rule of law.
  • Oregon governor sued (WA Examiner, Jan 20, 2022)
    • If Gov. Kate Brown’s clemency powers remain unchallenged, it could mean the release of violent offenders, including a man who stabbed his grandmother to death, another who killed a woman with the mental capacity of a 12-year-old and then burned her body beneath a bridge, and a then-17-year-old who shot his older brother three times in the head.

Rediscovering America

This week it’s about rediscovering America. Scott Powell’s new book,  Rediscovering America: How the National Holidays Tell an Amazing Story about Who We Are.

Rediscovering America - Scott Powell
Available now!

This show looks at how we got to America’s present condition (hint: Marxists) and a look at how we start to climb out of this (hint #2: we need to remember why America is worth fighting for). Scott Powell has been a fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institution and is currently senior fellow at Discovery Institute.

We discuss how America has fallen — and how we do we get it back? Would the Founders recognize the chaos of today? After all, they fought off their own tyranny. Although that was the King, an ocean away; not right here in the halls of our own government.

David Horowitz: “Scott Powell has made a major contribution in the research and writing of Rediscovering America, providing substantive reason for hope and confidence in the midst of troubled times. It may be the first book written in the history genre that lays out the progressive and redemptive course that is America’s greatest legacy.”

Why has America Lost Its Way?

We also talk with him about how our rapid material success as a country was not equaled by a similar and equal rapid progress in spiritual or social progress. This is very much a spiritual war we are going through, not just one of laws and regulations and elections.

And why aren’t the checks and balances—so carefully crafted by our Founding Fathers—not working right now?

“This book was written to defeat the enemies of our republic by equipping readers from all walks of life to get connected to the character and accomplishments of their forebears and the arc of redemption that defines our history. Prior generations of Americans who shared a similar greatness of moral vision and believed in the beauty of freedom and equality sacrificed their all that this nation might be protected, guided, and healed. We are called to do no less.”

We also talk corruption and abuse of power rather than institutional or constitutional failure, are the chief causes of decline in America today, and what you can do to help fix this.

Be sure to tune in — it was such an interesting discussion that we plan to have him back around Easter.
