The Tea Party movement was the first time I knocked on doors, put up signs and talked at political rallies in Michigan. This was for Ron Paul and for a local attorney I know named Linda Goldthorpe, she ran as a Ron Paul Republican.
The Tea Party had some very big events locally, which is extremely rare. We aren't normally the rallying type or that big on politicians in general. I can't think of any other time there have been local political rallies. Politicians show up to the parade once in a while to kiss babies but never hold rallies. Not enough people here to matter I suppose, but we had good turnout with loads of good speakers.
I'm not a joiner either, which turned out fine considering what the Tea Party morphed into, although it was fun while it lasted and even fairly productive, it's effects are still felt around here. I'd say about half of the people in charge right now locally where part of it at some point in time. This is probably why they flipped the bird to Gretchen Witless during covid and also became a 2nd amendment sanctuary county.
We share near identical Tea Party adventures; I was next door in Ohio. While I knew Ron Paul from earlier guest interviews, his Presidential run and Tea Party provided mutually beneficial opportunities: his campaign and my ratings! We finally met in DC when I did the show from C-PAC. Surveying the political landscape when it was all over, I thought Ohio and the country were in a better place than if the TP never blossomed; "Awareness" was the big winner.
I saw the sun in the northern sky of Belem, Brazil, after the fall equinox in September. Belem is about 210 miles south of the equator. On the equinox, the sun was directly overhead. My shadow disappeared. It was very strange to see the sun in the northern sky.
Shock, but no awe 🤣
Excellent interview
