Saturday Morning Coffee for Saturday, December 12, 2020
Reese Boyd and Producer Glenn Dye discuss the hot topics of the day, including the latest on the Election controversy, and the decision of the US Supreme Court not to hear the Texas Petition filed by the Texas AG, seeking to set aside the elections results in several swing states that have been marred by allegations of voter fraud. We discuss the latest on the COVID-19 and the approval of the Pfizer Coronavirus vaccine. We introduce a new segment - Puxatawney Phil - and discuss our predictions for the coming weeks and months. Reese concludes the show with a bit of encouragement in the Parting Wisdom segment.
Welcome to Saturday Morning Coffee for Saturday, December 12, 2020!
Reese and Glenn open the show with a discussion of their respective coffees of choice this Saturday morning, along with a coffee recommendation from Tim the "Car Detail Guy," one of our regular listeners. Reese gives a well-deserved shout-out to Coastal Carolina University and the Chanticleers football team - who remains the only undefeated football team in South Carolina! We wish them the best as they take on Troy, at Troy, later in the day on Saturday Dec 12.
Election 2020:
Reese and Glenn discuss the news from the US Supreme Court, and the just-announced decision that the Court has made not to hear the case brought by the Texas Attorney General. We discuss the questions involved - did the Court legally have jurisdiction to hear the case, and why it seems it chose not to hear the case. Reese discusses the objections that some conservatives, like Ben Shapiro, have raised in response to the Texas petition, but why he thinks the Supreme Court should have at least considered the case, even if it did not choose to grant the relief sought by the Texas AG. More important than the 2020 election itself, Reese notes, is how we prevent future elections from spiraling down this same path. We discuss that voters are going to have vote in person, and we're going to have to use paper ballots, and figure out what other measures need to be implemented in order to prevent any repeat of this "dumpster fire" of an election from ever repeating itself - EVER.
Coronavirus Update:
Reese and Glenn discuss the latest warnings being handed down from Blue City Mayors and Blue State Governors, and Biden's Coronavirus Task Force, regarding the dangers of families gathering for the Christmas holiday. "No Christmas Parties!", we are being told. (Marching in the streets is perfectly OK, mind you, but that Christmas Party you want to host for your friends and family is strictly verboten! We also discuss the approval of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine, and also that dogs in France are being trained to detect the Coronavirus in humans by smelling their armpits. (It's a very bad time to be a dog!). Reese notes that in any undertaking as complex as the development of a novel vaccine in as short a time period as this, there are bound to be a few mistakes that have been made, we just hope that they are few - and that their implications are not significant. We discuss the question of why it would not seem to make sense for some demographics, particularly those under 30, to take the vaccine at all.
Reese discusses the idea that has been floated by various public officials, that there should be "racial preferences" observed in prioritizing the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine. We discuss what an awful, harmful, terrible idea this is, and why no government official should use the distribution of the vaccine as an opportunity to further divide this already-divided nation on the basis of race or any other similar classification.
Groundhog Day, in December:
Reese introduces a new segment for the show, "Predictions and Prognostications with Puxatawney Phil," where your humble hosts give their predictions for the seemingly dark days ahead. Special Guest Co-Host Don Bowne with Red Hats for Trump joins us to help launch this new segment. For the first "Puxatawney Phil" segment, Reese reviews some of the Show's earlier predictions from May of this year, and discusses some of his recent predictions, as well as some new ones:

Reese introduces a new segment for the show, "Predictions and Prognostications with Puxatawney Phil," where your humble hosts give their predictions for the seemingly dark days ahead. Special Guest Co-Host Don Bowne with Red Hats for Trump joins us to help launch this new segment. For the first "Puxatawney Phil" segment, Reese reviews some of the Show's earlier predictions from May of this year, and discusses some of his recent predictions, as well as some new ones:
- China will NOT be held to account for its role in releasing and spreading the COVID-19 virus, and contributing to the size and devastation of the resulting pandemic, largely because:
- Joe Biden (unfortunately) will be sworn in in January, but he will not serve a full term. Reese predicts he'll be removed from office in as less than 18 months, and that he doesn't believe Biden will serve more than 24 months of his first term.
- Don Bowne - makes a bold move and predicts that Biden will be out in six months or less.
- Glenn Dye days 8 months or less for President Biden.
- Reese says Commie-La will be President within 18-24 months from now.
- Reese also says during the first term of Biden-Harris, the Wall will be torn down, likely as a result of some "endangered species" that is "found" living under or around, in the shadow of the wall.
Reese asks if Donald Trump should continue to be the standard-bearer for the Republican Party in 2024, or do we need someone new to take up the mantle of leading the cause? His prediction - for now - Trump will be back in 2024. Reese also shows some particularly insightful prognostication from the Wall St Journal back in September, and a frighteningly prescient law review article by Edward Foley, a law professor at Ohio State University Law School, which was published back in May of this year. The article predicts almost exactly and to the minute, what would happen in election night in Pennsylvania, back during the time when Elizabeth Warren, or all people, was considered to be the front-runner for the Democratic nomination. These articles, and many others that we don't have time to talk about, raise the very important question -- if all of this was so eminently predictable, why did this TRAIN WRECK of an election unfold just exactly as so many of the doomsday predictors foretold? How is it that we weren't able to prevent this from happening???
Parting Wisdom:
Take heart: Reese reminds us all that there are 70-80 Million Americans who believe that we are at our best when we are our most free, that the path to progress for all our people, for all mankind, lies with liberty, not with tyranny. He notes that FREEDOM is worth fighting for, and that all of us are created in the image of God, that we were born to be FREE, and that life which is not free, is not worth living. Reese shares some "Parting Wisdom" about beginnings, and endings, and our conviction that NOTHING ENDED on November 3. This election was not an ending, it was a BEGINNING. NOTHING HAS ENDED.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not on your own understandings. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths." ~Proverbs 3:5-6
