Today, The Two Mikes interviewed the author Dan Perkins, who has written six novels and three children's books. Mr. Perkins' new book is the first volume of a work entitled Sad Eyes: Book One:1912 to 1939: A Nurse's love of her country during WW II. The book is the story of a woman named Mary Ellen Murphy who was born in Waterloo, Iowa, in 1912. The book follows Murphy's life, education, job experiences, relationships, accomplishments, and lessons learned to the eve of war. The book is a fictional memoir written in the first person, and Mr. Perkins has already been applauded for his ability to successfully write in a manner that reflects Murphy's femininity, desire for independence, commonsense. and her development of ability to compete in a then male-dominated society. Murphy leaves Waterloo after high school and attends nursing school in Chicago, and upon graduation attends another school to be trained as an Emergency Room nurse. The latter requires working 50 weeks per year, both learning her medical skills and working after classes and on weekends in the hospital to help pay for her board and tuition. She graduates and works for several more years in Chicago, and then moves to San Diego and takes a job with the U.S. military and is assigned to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. At Pearl Harbor she is assigned the task of assessing the quality of the medical supplies that would be used to address wounds in case of war. She finds those supplies to be poor in quality and improperly stored. Thereafter, Murphy's career begins to unfold as she gains ever greater confidence, responsibilities, and respect among her peers and seniors as war nears for America. In this book, Mr. Perkins, who also has 50 years experience as an investment adviser, provides another brick for the still unfinished building that will eventually house an accurate and encompassing picture of the many key roles played by women in winning World War II, especially in areas such as medicine, air transport, scientific research, administration, and espionage. It should be welcomed by all Americans. Mr. Perkins' Sad Eyes, Book One can be purchased at Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Sad-Eyes-Nurses-country-during/dp/1962561062/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1C9DEJJPKH8UT&keywords=sad+eyes&qid=1701181282&s=books&sprefix=sad+eyes,stripbooks,73&sr=1-3), Barnes and Noble, and elsewere.

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with non-interventionist and critic of Israel Lucas Gage (@LUCAS_GAGE_), who is, as well, a Marine Corps veteran who served two tours in Iraq as a combat engineer. Like so many patriotic Americans who believe the U.S. relationship is a one-way, losing endeavor for the United States, Mr. Gage has twice had the local and state police arrive at his house to question him about his online statements regarding Israel and the threat such mindless support poses to the United States. The police spoke with Mr. Gage because of "complaints" about his words from the New Jersey Jewish community. The second police visit to his home was triggered by an on "anonymous" caller falsely claiming that Mr. Gage was armed and threatening. On both occasions, the police found nothing worth worrying about, and that, indeed, found that Mr. Gage owns no weapons. Since then, and as he continues to speak out against automatic U.S. support for Israel, his family has received multiple death threats. Overall, Mr. Gage provided a frank and balanced description of his views on the harm U.S. obedience to Israel and Zionists does to the republic, a description that seems all too accurate and very much in need of hearing. Mr. Gage also said that he thought that it would be a good thing to ban the Anti-Defamation League, not for what it says but what it does, as it appears that its actions are meant to stirring up social animosities and perhaps violence across the country, and it is, of course, identifying patriotic Americans -- Christians, Catholics, Conservatives, military veterans, and many other people just because they are white -- as terrorists or some other threat and is selling their names and other data gathered about them to the FBI, DOJ, and DOD for investigation and probably the same kind of harassment that Mr. Gage and his family have suffered.

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with author Drew Thomas Allen about his new book America's Last Stand: Will You Vote to Save or Destroy America in 2024. Mr. Allen opened our discussion by frankly stating that "by any metric Americans were better off under Trump." That better state disappeared because the Democrats and their allies stole the 2024 presidential election, as well as because so many clearly stupid Americans eagerly gave up prosperity, national security, and their family's welfare and security because of "mean tweets". Beyond these points, Mr. Allen specifically noted that Americans must keep focused on the fact that the current problems of America are nearly all the result -- and responsibility -- of intentional actions by Biden, his administration, and their legal, military, congressional, big business, and banking leaders, social-media owners, a shilling media, their foreign allies among, whom child-abuse and trafficking reign supreme, and Democrat-owned Marxist and gender-mad professors. Their anti-American actions include: --Destroying U.S. energy independence; intentionally discrediting long-respected U.S. governing institutions. --Flooding the country with illegal aliens who are anti-American and will never assimilate. --Rampant government-backed censorship of words and statements protected under the Constitution. --Demented governments-at-all-level attacks on the greatest Bill of Rights amendment, the 2nd. --The irrefutable fact that almost all members of both parties have proven that their hatred for Trump was based on his determination that America would no longer fight unnecessary and always-lost interventionist wars overseas. This reality can be seen in the weapons and money and pouring into the long-ago-lost Ukraine war, and a recent eagerness to send $14.5 billion Israel -- which owns the Congress -- to help that country defend itself by, as Netanyahu says, wiping out the Palestinians according to instructions found in Old Testament texts. Mr. Allen summed it up by saying that all right-thinking, loyal Americans must now think and act as the "Patriots of 2024" because if they do not carry the day in 2024, there will be no more chances to preserve the republic. Mr. Allen's book can be purchased from AMAZON at: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=drew+thomas+allen&crid=3I4EZVO0HW1UM&sprefix=drew+thomas+allen,aps,92&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_17 Sponsors Triangle Fragrance: https://trianglefragrance.com/?sca_ref=4171318.dUndUHDKz3 Cambridge Credit: https://www.cambridge-credit.org/twomikes/ EMP Shield: https://www.empshield.com/?coupon=twomikes Our Gold Guy: https://www.ourgoldguy.com http://www.TwoMikes.us

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with Fred Coulter, the head of the Christian Biblical Church of God (CBCG) in Hollister, CA. Mr. Coulter started by asking “Why is the world upside down?” There are, of course, hundreds of speculations that are used to answer this question. Mr. Coulter said the fundamental cause – and one not heard often enough – and that is that people have forgotten God and now follow false religions, like the Roman Catholic Church and other Christian sects. Satan is becoming the boss in the world, and many features of Western society and far too many Western political and social leaders surely seem to be moving toward open Satanism. The much discussed “Mark of the Beast” is being spoken about and, indeed, shown in the forms of the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), along with the enslaving social-credit scores. The storm, in other words, is no longer on the horizon, it is here and eating away at the final strength of Western traditions and Christianity. The solution to this problem, obviously, is a return to the Bible and, through it, to God. People must relearn – or learn for the first time – the truth of the Bible, understanding and believing what God says in the Bible and then consistently obeying what he says, even unto death. Mr. Coulter’s websites include: http://www.cbcg.org and http://www.truthofGod.org Mr. Coulter’s websites offer an array of books that can be used by a person seeking God or seeking to return to God. Many of the books are available for no charge.

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with Jason Sheppard, the founder and CEO of a Pittsburgh-based, free-speech social media site called WiMKiN (AKA: World Must Know). The site (http://wimkin.com) was founded in 2021, pledging to remain an uncensored outlet, as well as to assure user security. Mr. Shepard's project has been tremendously successful, even though it has been under attack by Big Tech almost from the start. Wimkin's apps were removed from the Apple Store and Google Play, and being removed from the Apple Store, Wimkin was targeted by a massive DDoS attack. Hardly a coincidence. Mr. Shepard and his crew have weathered these attacks and the Wimkin site continues to grow quickly with new users exercising their right to free speech. Mr. Sheppard is frank and well-spoken and sounds sincerely determined to stay the course with Wimkin, no matter what Big Tech throws at his increasingly popular project and its growing number of users.

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with an incisive and quite wry international affairs analyst named Brandon Weichert. Mr. Weichert just published a most timely book, The Shadow War: Iran's Quest for Supremacy. Mr. Weichert spoke of the completely incompetent, nearly brain-dead Biden Administration 's policy in the Middle East, which has, in essence, "made everything worse in the region." Perhaps the pivotal and obvious mistake made by the Bidenites was to continue the Obama’s regime's plan to stuff U.S. cash into the Islamic Republic, which has seemingly been used to achieve rapid military modernization. The total of such funding -- with Biden recently chipping in another $6 billion -- now stands at about $68 billion. As important, Mr. Weichert said -- and The Two Mikes agreed -- that Americans should never forget that the people they elect, as well as their civil service, are largely men and women of high-priced education who know absolutely nothing about history or foreign policy beyond the three sayings that dominate the U.S. approach to diplomacy; namely. "You must have democracy or we will sanction you", "We will go to war at the drop of a hat, though we do not know how to win but love getting our heads kicked-in”, and "U.S.. foreign policy makers could screw-up a one car funeral." The sum result of these lousy practitioners of foreign policy in the Middle East is that they seem to believe that the region's Muslim nations have been locked in time since 1947, and that only the United States and Israel have improved in politics, diplomacy, armaments, brain power, and technology. This, of course is delusional none-sense and about no countries is it less true than Iran and Turkey, both of which are regular recipients of U.S. taxpayer money, but otherwise have produced and harassed educated and patriotic populations, high technology for civil and military uses, and have learned from America's recent military performances that only American leaders believe that their military power can be used to intimidate foes into behaving behave like cowards. Mr Weichert's most recent book -- The Shadow War: Iran's Quest for Supremacy is available at Amazon and other booksellers, as are his two excellent previous books Biohacked: China's Race to Control Life and Winning Space: How America Remains a Superpower.

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with the author Holly Swenson about her new book, Stop, Drop, Grow, and Glow: Form Deeper and More Joyful Connections with Yourself and Your Children. (Ms. Swenson also holds a BS degree in Nursing and works as a Registered Nurse.) The book is based on her experiences with own family – which includes four sons – during the Covid years, and how she and they coped during and after that disastrous and unnecessary affair and that era’s still ongoing costs. Her book, Ms. Swenson tells of how, in the midst of these long and difficult years, she found the importance of balancing the demands of parenthood with more grace and gentility. In essence she found the means for allowing parents to keep their own lives on an even and happy keel, while also providing increased benefit and stability to the lives of parents and for the children they are responsible for shaping. Ms. Swenson said the approach she developed yielded improvements on both side of the equation. She was able to keep herself motivated and satisfied as a parent, while helping her children by being more approachable, patient, and loving. Ms. Swenson’s book is available at AMAZON and other booksellers.

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with Richard Vague who was a banker for 30 years and most recently retired from the post of Secretary of Banking and Securities for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Mr. Vague recently published a book called the Paradox of Debt: A New Path to Prosperity Without Crisis (Published by the Pennsylvania University Press/available at Amazon and elsewhere). Mr. Vague said that he believed that the U.S. economy is slowly steadying and that in comparison to other parts of the world it’s in "okay shape". The Chinese economy. for example, is being greatly weakened by "out of control private sector debt." In the United States, Mr. Vague, said the Federal Reserve has overdone interest-rate hikes, and they seem to be bound to stay too high for a while. He also noted that the housing sector is still a worry as there are only an inventory of 800,000 unsold houses in the country; at the time of the 2008 economic disaster there were 2 million unsold homes. Home sales are the most important swing factor in the American economy, a satisfactorily large inventory of unsold houses -- if paired with more reasonable interest rates -- contributes to spurring economic growth. At the same time, Mr. Vague noted that there are areas in that sector that are "booming", such as warehousing, Special Laboratory Spaces, and Medical Spaces.

Today, The Two Mikes interviewed C.R. Stewart, who so far has published 3 volumes of a series he plans to consist of 5 volumes of fiction for middle schoolers and young adults. Mr. Stewart comes to authorship after a career as a banker, having worked for Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and Merrill Lynch. While an out-of-the-ordinary background for a writer of books for young people, Mr. Stewart has become famous in America and Europe for the bestselling first volume of a projected series, Britfield and the Lost Crown (Available at Amazon and many other booksellers). The book follows the lives of brother-and-sister Tom and Sarah, two orphans who decide they have to escape from a quite disagreeable orphanage. Just before fleeing, Tom discovers his parents may be alive. He keeps this to himself and he and Sarah escape and begin an adventurous and at times dangerous journey that will be documented over the 5 volumes of this series. Mr. Stewart says that their experiences will be very human problems that must be handled and overcome, situations to be discussed to make a decision on a course of action acceptable to both, and more than a bit of daring-do. (Please note: Mr. Stewart notes that the stars of the book will not be an assortment of witches, warlocks, potions, occult activities, ominous predictions, and hobgoblins, the focus will be on a brother and sister in search of a workable way of living with others, and perhaps looking for their parents.) Mr. Stewart explains that his ambition for his books is to contribute to the successful reformation of the now very broken and even damaging-to-the-student public education system; to replace that system with one that teaches knowledge worth having, and able to be used in life, not the vile inculcation that is occurring far too often; and to allow children to learn for themselves about how to get along with each other, and to find their own way in the world -- with a strong sense of individual responsibility -- and the help of those they befriend and those who love them and they love. http://www.facebook.com/OfficialBritfield/ Sponsors Triangle Fragrance: https://trianglefragrance.com/?sca_ref=4171318.dUndUHDKz3 Cambridge Credit: https://www.cambridge-credit.org/twomikes/ EMP Shield: https://www.empshield.com/?coupon=twomikes Our Gold Guy: https://www.ourgoldguy.com http://www.TwoMikes.us

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with Chris Skates who has been a Chemist for over thirty years and has focused on power generation. He also has been an energy adviser and speechwriter on energy for Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin. Dr. Skates said that Americans are being taken for an expensive and eventually disastrous ride by the climate changers and the governments that support/fund them. He said, of course, that nuclear energy is the safest, cleanest, and least-expensive source of power for America, but the politicians have sold most of our uranium-enrichment capacity to foreigners. Recall Hillary Clinton, Obama, and Robert Mueller's quiet operation to sell nuclear-power materials to the Russians. Dr. Skates also said the costs of cutting CO2 is enormously expensive and every reduction in the amount of that gas in the atmosphere will promote starvation and population reduction around the world. The climate fraudsters are also conducting a plan called “Carbon Dioxide Sequestration" which is a process that requires the construction of enormous and enormously expensive machines -- "Direct Air Capture Machines" -- to take CO2 out of the air and then bury it. Again this process is meant to starve people and reduce population. Dr. Skates also reminded us and our listeners that not only have the Obama and Biden administrations closed coal-fired electricity production plants, but they have also "spiked" them so they can never be used again. Overall, "Going Green" is an anti-scientific program being conducted by fanatics for the sole purposes of greed and population reduction. On a lighter note, Dr. Skates also noted that he is a novel writer, and recently published a book about his grandfather, who led the dangerous effort to close down moonshining in Georgia because of its severely negative impact on alcoholism among men, as well as on on their wives and children who suffered from the uselessness and destructiveness of alcoholic husbands and fathers. The book is called Moonshine Over Georgia. In an era when politicians and civil servants tend to be cowards and thieves, the story of a brave, determined and successful civil servant serves as a painful reminder of what we have lost and must recover.
