This is my first episode after COVID, and there is quite a bit to be happy about. A marriage equality bill has been passed an awaits the President's signature. Brittany Griner is on her way home today! The mid-terms are mostly a win for Democrats after Raphel Warnock was reelected. Gas prices are down and hopefully inflation follows! Thank you for …

In this episode, I talk about the mid-term election results. I will discuss how this will affect legislation and the balance of power. I will also discuss Donald Trump's announcement and how that will add to the division among the Republican party. Thank you for listening to The Jim Policast. Be sure to like The Jim Policast on Facebook, Instagram,…

In this episode, I talk about the scare term "Radicals", and how it played into the midterms as well as the pollical climate. Just because people have far left or right views doesn't mean they are radicals. It means they have a view that isn't common, but isn't very extreme. However, if you listen to the fear mongering, these far leaning individual…

Hello, everyone! I am back from some time off. I was not expecting to take that much time, and I am sorry about doing so unannounced. Between me losing my voice after attending a professional sports event and not much going on in US politics due to the midterms, I let one week turn into three. However, I'm back and I will have a new episode up toni…

In this episode I talk about term limits. Will they work as intended to end politician corruption and apathy? I don't think term limits will work in most governing bodies. They would limit the person from getting anything done. There are better ways to get rid of corruption and apathy. Thank you for listening to The Jim Policast. Be sure to like Th…

In this episode, I talk about Biden's cannabis announcement. The announcement is a step in the right direction, but more will need to be done to legalize cannabis. In Texas, Governor Abbot announced there will be no expunging of cannabis crimes in the state. This is not a surprise coming from the Republican Governor. Thank you for listening to The …

In this episode, I talk about the quiet quitting trend. The trend is miss named because people are just working their job description. If extra effort is not rewarded, then why should extra effort be put in. Companies could end this trend by rewarding extra effort as they should. Thank for listening to The Jim Policast. Be sure to like The Jim Poli…

In this episode, I talk about DeSantis and the 48 migrants in more detail. As it turns out, there were pamphlets used to lure the migrants away from the facility. This makes an already tragic situation even more tragic. The migrants from Central and Sount America are headed our way for a number of reasons. One of the main reasons being the violence…

In this episode, I talk about GOP strategy that could blow up in their faces. The federal abortion ban that was introduced by Lindsey Graham is not going to work out well. The Republican governors sending migrant all over the county is not going to help the GOP during midterm either. Thank you for listening to The Jim Policast! Be sure to like The …

In this episode, I talk about the documents that were taken from Mar-A- Lago. A judge ordered an itemized list each box that was taken from the Trump resort location. The number of documents that Donald had would have easily landed anyone else in prison. I break down the numbers for the documents seized and what each classification means. I also ta…

In this episode, I talk about Biden's student loan forgiveness program. I also talk about the Republican arguments against the program. Many of them are weak, but one does stick out. How does this apply to me? Many Americans don't go to college and did not get any of that debt. Why should they help pay it off? I think forgiving student loan debt is…

In this episode, I talk about the Inflation Reduction Act and the Republican spin against it. The Inflation Reduction Act will do a number of positive things, like add funding to the IRS and cap out of pocket expenses on prescriptions for Medicare. The Republicans will have you think the IRS is coming for you and they reduced your Medicare benefits…

In this episode, I talk about Brittney Griner and why she should be released. I also discuss two arguments I had against letting her out. Brittney was sentenced to 9.5 years in prison for THC cartridges. The US needs to get her out because Russia is trying to win one at her expense. Thank you for listening to The Jim Policast! Be sure to like The J…

In this episode, I talk about Oberfell and if SCOTUS with overturn the case. Democrats are trying to introduce legislation that will codify Oberfell. However, Republicans are against the bill, saying it's a waste of time and SCOTUS will not touch the case. I think Republicans are right, but missing context. SCOTUS will not touch the case, yet. Than…

In this episode, I talk about Uvalde and the police response to the school shooting at Robb Elementary School. I was very angry about the police response because it took them so long to do anything. However, I did not make an episode on the response until I had more information. It's clear that we need gun control and police training to stop furthe…

In this episode, I talk about the January 6th hearings and if Trump will go to prison or get any consequences from the hearings. I don't think anything happens to Trump, and I think there is a different person that will face consequences from the hearing. Thank you for listening to The Jim Policast. Be sure to like The Jim Policast on Facebook, Ins…

In this episode, I have to issue a few retractions. I predicted that the Supreme Court would not overturn Roe and they did. I also said that overturning Roe would not help Republicans, and Nate Silver showed me I was wrong on that. Listen in to find out why I was wrong, and how the Supreme Court's rulings will help Republicans. Hint, it's not becau…

In this episode, I talk about the document released by the Texas Republicans, outlining their platforms. The big lie is prominent in the document, as Texas Republicans do not believe that Joe Biden is the legitimate President. This is an issue for national Republicans, who are trying to distance themselves from the events that took place on January…

In this episode, I talk about gas prices, and how the Biden administration is not at fault. We have all dreaded to fill our tanks, and the price total at the pump hurts. Many blame the Biden administration for the high prices, but there is no real action from Biden that could cause this. No policy or strict permit control is at the heart of the gas…

In this episode, I talk about a Tic Tok trend starting with what's a conspiracy theory you 1000% believe in. I believe the US is a Fascist Democracy and that's why our government benefits the wealthy as much as it does. Wealth distribution in this country is slanted to the top so much that it goes beyond a model Oligarchy. A Fascist government is t…

In this episode, I talk about student load debt and how forgiving it will be a huge benefit. It will be a tough sell to the working class, but they will be on board. The country benefits from more education, and it doesn't have to be all 4 year universities. Tech schools and community colleges are great too. Thank you for listening to The Jim Polic…

In this episode, I talk about the Supreme Court, and their leaked document. Overturning Roe V Wade is not popular with the American people. This will not work out for Republicans like they think, and this can fuel a larger voter turnout for the next two elections at minimum. Democrats have an uphill battle to codify Roe. They need to get on that in…

In this episode, I talk about inflation, and its impact on households across the US. The inflation is hitting many household budgets hard, including mine. We are even having issues getting a home due to Federal Reserve interest rate increases. I am glad to see that consumer confidence is still high. The best thing to do is keep spending and get mon…

In this episode, I talk about cannabis legalization. It has so many upsides that it's hard to believe that cannabis is still illegal. There are many positives for our Country's policy and tax revenue. Why is cannabis still illegal? The same reason it was always illegal, people would lose a lot of money if cannabis was legal. The lobbies to stop can…

In this episode, I talk about the migrant buses being sent from Texas to Washington D.C. This is another political stunt, in a line of many, from Texas Governor Greg Abbott. I think this is a cover for his own failure at the border. Abbott announced policy that ordered DPS to search commercial vehicles at the border. However, this policy caused slo…

On this podcast, we say gay! The Florida law is just another example of the Republicans taking care of issues what don't exist. They can't do much other than address non-issues and drum up fear. Be an ally and say gay! There is nothing wrong with people trying to live a life that makes them happy. Also, NO ONE IS GROOMING YOUR CHILD!! No one cares …

In this episode, I talk about the email that was leaked from Applebee's. A regional manager for the chain wrote an email outlining how to use current economic woes to get people working longer hours for low pay. This is not a good look for the chain, but also not a good look for our economy as a whole. The restaurant industry is not the only one ex…

In this episode, I talk about the Senate confirmation hearing of Ketanji Brown Jackson. The Republicans were very harsh to her in response to both Biden saying he would nominate a woman of color and Brett Kavanaugh's hearing. All of the Republican questioning was very partisan and attacked her on many things. As Americans, we should be proud of Ket…

This episode marks 1 year of The Jim Policast! Thank you so much for listening! I also talk about Brandon Brown, the NASCAR driver who's name is being used in the phrase Let's go Brandon. Brandon does not need his career ruined so people can take a pot shot at the president. This seems right in line with the current political discourse in the US. I…

In this episode, I talk about what is currently going on with Russia's on-going invasion of Ukraine. It is still not going as planned and it will drag on as long as Putin's ego allows it. The US and other countries are seeing really high gas prices. The war is being blamed, and that could account for Europe's rising prices, but not the ones here in…

In this episode, I talk about the Transgender "Issue", or rather how people are not an issue. The policy pushed against trans people, trans youth in particular, is the result of the GOP not having much to contribute policy wise. The GOP has to pass these bills in places like Texas and Iowa to gain points with their voters. Meanwhile, the states hav…

In this episode, I talk about the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia. I did not want to record an episode too early on this war because it was not very optimistic. The Ukrainians have put up much more of a fight than the Russians anticipated, and there are reports of possible peace talks. That said, there is still a chance for Russia to continue…

In this episode, I talk about the practice of redlining and how it still harms minority communities today. There are a number of people who say that racism in this county is over, and Dr. King is the person who ended it. The Fair Housing Act and The Voting Rights Act of 1968 were big blows to institutionalized racism. However, it was far from the e…

In this episode, I talk about the RNC's censure of Cheney and Kinzinger. This is not a surprise, the Republicans are not going to acknowledge that Jan 6 was an attempt to over through the government. Mich McConnell speaking out against the censure will do little to change the party. What is next if the Republican party degrades due to this division…

In this episode, I'll talk about Joe Rogan and Spotify. Joe is back in the news for spreading misinformation about the pandemic. Spotify, the company that syndicates Joe's podcast, has done nothing to stop Joe from spreading the misinformation. In response, a few recording artists have pulled their music from Spotify. I pulled The Jim Policast from…

In this episode, I talk about the retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer. Does this pick help the Biden Administration? No, it does not. The Supreme Court will still be 6 to 3 conservative and will rule against most everything passed by Biden and Congressional Democrats. The Biden Administration needs to do a number of things in order to get their ag…

In this episode, I talk about the primary race that Governor Greg Abbot faces. His two opponents are more extreme right than he is. Don Huffines and Allen West are worse, and I want Abbott to win. Texas would elect someone like Huffines or West if they had the opportunity. I don't think anything is going to prevent Abbott from winning because Beto …

In this episode, I talk about the bizarre exchanges between Senator Rand Paul and Dr. Anthony Fauci. Senator Paul is going to get Fauci hurt because of his baseless attacks on Fauci. Plus, Paul is wasting time that could be used to fix our issue with this pandemic. We need to move on from politics when it comes to the pandemic. Please get vaccinate…

In this episode, I talk about what happened to a family member of mine when they went to the hospital. Needless to say, it was not good, but my family member is out of the hospital. Due to COVID overwhelming the hospitals, my family member did not get the care they should have. Not getting the vaccine has consequences for people you don't even know…

In the episode, I talk about Senator Joe Machin. He is hurting his own party, and the American people at the same time. His resistance to the Biden Administration's agenda is going to be very costly over the next few elections. It is time that Joe leaves the party so the Democrats can show this country they never really had the majority in the Sena…

In this episode, I am announcing a break until 1/04/2022. I also talk about talking with conservative family members. Use life situations to convey how politics would change your life. It made for a better conversation, and my family member was able to see my side a bit better. Thank you for listening to The Jim Policast! Happy Holidays!!…

In this episode, I talk about the Justice Department's lawsuit against Texas and the newly drawn district maps. The state of Texas gerrymandered the map so bad they went from 12 competitive house districts, down to 1. This cannot be blamed on the Biden administration or Congressional Democrats. Protecting voter rights should be bipartisan, so this …

In the 50th episode of The Jim Policast, I talk about campaign goals rather than promises. We need elected officials to run realistic campaigns, and that will help gain trust in our government again. Promises do not give any leeway for failure, and failure will happen. When a promise isn't kept, the person becomes a liar. When that person is an ele…

In this episode, I talk about what the Rittenhouse verdict means for this country. I think it could mean more violence at BLM protest. The BLM protests have been largely peaceful and a needed movement. That's why I hope I'm wrong about more violence. Thank you for listening to The Jim Policast! Be sure to like The Jim Policast on Facebook, Instagra…

In this episode I talk about Ol'34th in education aka Texas. I use the term Ol'34th in education when the state government makes a decision that does not put the true priorities of Texas first. Ol'34th in education is at it again when it comes to finding pornographic material in schools or sending $250,000,000 to a border wall. It's time to get Tex…

In this episode, I talk about why school board politics, such as Critical Race Theory, are huge. The governor race in Virginia highlights the importance of school board politics. It also shows that the Biden administration is in big trouble in 2022. The Biden administration and Democrats can't even get on the same page. An opportunity that the Repu…

In this episode, I talk about Bro Vax, the movement of men who think fighting the virus when they get it manly, but getting the COVID vaccine is not. There is more to being a man than fighting things, normally protection of the group is the primary function of the alpha. So why the resistance to getting the vaccine? I'm not sure, but I hope that pe…

In the episode, I talk about my interpretation of the Trump's latest talking points. Mainly, not voting in 2022 and 2024, as well as, telling Republican voters to urge Republican politicians to back the big lie. I think Trump is doing is doing one of two things and neither of them are nice. Thank you for listening! Be sure to like The Jim Policast …

In this episode, I talk about Texas Governor Greg Abbott's new order banning COVID vaccine mandates. My son was about to be withdrawn from school in Texas because he was missing a different vaccine. If schools are already enforcing vaccine mandates, what's another one? It just goes to show, that Greg is using the vaccine to be my Trumpian and get r…

In this episode, I talk about the Democrats getting in their own way. Two "centrist" Democrats keep holding the whole agenda hostage. If the Democrats want to win more often, then they need to embrace the more liberal in the party, and not call them extremists. The Bernie Sanders movement is still going. His ideas are more and more popular, and tha…
