What If We Stopped Financially Supporting Millionaires?

Walter Rhein Podcast ·

2025/11/07

I think one of the chief issues that the people of the United States have not managed to perceive is that we have power in this country. We can make the choice to stop supporting millionaires. If that happens, the millionaire class won’t be able to torment us anymore.But making that change will require us to spend deliberately.There’s a very reliable auto garage in my town. They do excellent work, and if they can save you a couple bucks by heading down to the junkyard to get a used part, they will

The ink hasn’t even dried on the ballots that elected Zohran Mamdani, but both Republicans and Centrist Democrats have already taken to the media in an attempt to sabotage his term before it even starts.We can’t lose track of the fact that the Centrist Democrats absolutely tried to sabotage this campaign. Where were the Democratic leaders denouncing Andrew Cuomo for running as an independent even after losing the primary?Are you kidding me? This should have enraged the whole party, instead,

The Way Back From Hate

Walter Rhein Podcast ·

2025/11/06

My dad once said he didn’t want to get a puppy because all that happens is that you come to love the puppy and then you feel terrible when it dies.I think that oversimplification about what it means to have a pet encapsulates the essence of the white supremacy mindset.Adopting a puppy is more than just condemning yourself to grief after an inevitable loss. Adopting a puppy is one of the ways you can learn to have a healthy connection to another living thing.You raise your puppy, you learn about it,

Bullies Only Want to Compromise When They Know...

Walter Rhein Podcast ·

2025/11/05

I’ve seen it before. When the tide finally turns on a bully, only then are they willing to compromise. When they see the writing on the wall and they realize their brute force and torment isn’t going to work anymore, all of a sudden they want to be friends.These are ruthless, awful people who are so entitled that they think negotiation is always on the table.It isn’t.The premise of negotiation is that it’s implemented to avoid violence. But if you’ve already had to endure unprovoked attacks, the

2025/11/05

I know it’s a fact that I didn’t deserve to be abused by my father. I was a kind kid, and I always did my best to make him happy. Deep down, I’m confident that he knows this to be true. Yet, he refuses to practice the accountability that might have allowed us to maintain a relationship.Regret is a complex and painful emotion. In healthy situations, people acknowledge their mistakes and try to make amends. But in unhealthy situations, the pain can fester for decades.When there’s a situation of abuse

2025/11/04

While the GOP acts like it’s campaign season 365 days a year, the Democrats wait to try and make their points in an hour and a half long debate. Democrats are people with ivy league degrees, yet they act as if they have no idea how marketing works.When the election happens and they lose, the Democrats shrug their shoulders and say, “Well, the people have spoken.”But they disregard the fact that the people make their decisions based on an uncontested tidal wave of lies.What do Democrats expect the

Kamala's Book Makes Me Believe Her Campaign Was...

Walter Rhein Podcast ·

2025/11/03

I confess that I was a little reluctant to read Kamala Harris’s book. As everybody knows, we’re in the midst of an extreme authoritarian takeover in this country. It’s frustrating to think that if Harris had set aside donation money to demand hand recounts in the swing states, this all might have been avoided. It feels entirely possible that we would have found significant evidence of voter fraud, and that certain powerful people would have been held to account. But as we all know, that’s not what

I’m fortunate to be the father of two compassionate daughters who often take time out of their busy schedules to teach me important life lessons.On one occasion, we were out on the lake riding a stand-up paddleboard. Rather than stand, I prefer to sit on the board and propel it with a kayak paddle. My kids are getting close to being too big for this activity, but a few years back we were out on the water giggling and having fun.My youngest daughter was swimming. My eldest daughter was just along for

Will MAGA Ever Protect Liberals the Way Liberals...

Walter Rhein Podcast ·

2025/11/01

I know how MAGA thinks. More than half of my family is MAGA. They believe themselves to be men of honor who would stand up to tyrants if one should ever threaten our country.They like to cosplay war. Growing up, my cousins loved to play “guns.” We’d get dressed up in camouflage and run around shooting at each other with caps. As we grew older, this evolved into paintball. We acted out films from the old West.They looked to the model of John Wayne or Clint Eastwood. They considered themselves rough

Hey Everyone!Thanks for stopping by for the replay of this wonderful conversation with Will Fullwood and Robert Danna. I always have so much fun when Bob comes by. He’s a former nuclear engineer, a brilliant scientist, and a kind and compassionate human being.He always provides some good resources for where we can in order to forge a better future. He suggested I share the progressive promise, and the 10 humanist commitments. When I read these, I agree that these should be posted in every public

I heard the shooting as I approached the house. How could you not? It sounded like a war zone. Chet and the boys were out back launching clay pigeons into the air. They had a spring loaded machine that sent three disks spinning high. A boy I didn’t recognize stood off to the side with a handheld launcher. When the machine finished, his job was to send one more disk chasing after the main group.They told me later they did this to mimic the behavior of real birds.“There’s always a straggler,” Leon

Republicans and MAGA Are Waking Up to the Fact That...

Walter Rhein Podcast ·

2025/10/30

I grew up in a conservative area and quite a few of my relatives became staunch Republicans and loyal supporters of the MAGA movement. There’s a common thread that runs through people like that. They like to hunt. They drive pickup trucks. They’re what’s called “salt of the Earth.”Most importantly, they see themselves as defenders of justice.Perhaps it can be said that they are loyal to a fault. But when they learn that loyalty has been misplaced, it’s not something they forget… or forgive.Farmers
