And, yes, we are to Hate the Sin but Love the Sinner, but in no way do we have to AFFIRM (or Advocate, there are Red-Lines in the Scriptures) for someone's Lifestyle - as Meatloaf said: Two out of Three ain't bad.

[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast begin Show intro]

Welcome to ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast aka CTP in association with TheLibertyBeacon.com and I am your host Joseph M Lenard and that's L E N A R D CTP is your no muss no fuss just me you And occasional guest type podcast as Graham Norton would say let's get on with the show

[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast - Segment 1]

JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Hello everybody. If you see behind the scenes video, you see I have my friend Ed Bondarenka of WAAM Radio, your American Heritage Show back with us. He was here last year for a special 9-11 show and it just so happens to coincide that we're recording today, August the 3rd, he just got done broadcasting his show, Your American Heritage. So I'm thinking, well, this isn't going to be a 9-11 show. I did look Wednesday is the day I normally drop my program and it will be actually 9-11 that day. So while we won't be doing a purposefully and full and 10-11 show, I just wanted to open up with that to say obviously our thoughts and prayers are still out to any 9-11 survivors, maybe dealing with survivors guilt and those involved that joined and fought PTSD dealing with now for their efforts in the war on terror. So while this will drop on 9-11, it isn't a 9-11 show, welcome back to the show Ed Bonderenka .
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): Who knows what's going to happen between today and 9-11, you know? Yeah, it's a rollercoaster. The last two weeks have been a rollercoaster.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): You ain't kidding. I mean, I've got some shows in the can though talking behind the scenes shop here that aren't going to air until November. So I mean, I'm out of ways. And like, yeah, Lord knows that I'm saving more like I've got a couple country music artists that will be coming out. I'm saving more, you know, guests that aren't direct political involved, but for a later day. So as the political, you know what hits the fan.
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): It does settle. Oh, obviously they do settle.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): It won't really matter in regard to that particular show. There won't be any relation. But I was, again, the main reason why they wanted to have you back is really literally because this show, Crystitutional Politics, is in part inspired by your show, your American heritage as well as Rick's now retired moment of clarity, Bruce and Phil's abolitionist roundtable on women. The morning, Pastor Sean's the intersection. This show is the intersection also crossed between faith and politics. So let's promote your show since you helped inspire mine.
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): Well, like anybody who's listened to you call into the show, say, why doesn't he just get his own show?
None: Oh. Yeah.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Yeah. Well, a friend of mine, Darlin has been had said for like the last 10 years, you should be on the radio. You know a lot and you sure can talk. So indeed, yeah, like, yeah, why don't I do a podcast, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yep.
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): And you know, podcast, it's kind of blown me away. Podcasts have become, if I'm listening to the radio, it's because I can't, I'm in a position to listen to a podcast at the moment. But if I'm listening to a podcast, it's normally a podcast, a recording of a previously recorded radio show, you know, so it's, I find, and I don't find video casts. I remember Pastor Rick wanted to do a vlog, which I believe he saw as similar to a video podcast, you know, and I just, I just didn't want to be on video that much.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): No, well, what would that say? If you're understandable, exactly.
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): Exactly. I mean, I had a lot of work done to just look appreciable, you know, it's what the thing is that it's hard to, it's hard to watch a video while you're driving, you know, where as I can put, you know, I can listen to just the audio, but the tendency is to glance over and just rather listen to somebody articulate something audibly.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Yeah. Yeah. And of course I do both. I record in video so I can put it on big shoot, bright on rumble and YouTube video channels because some people are visual and they want to see. And indeed for the record, as is my friend, I'm not calling him ugly. I'm just joking. I'm just teasing him. You know, I don't want his wife Sherry to be coming after me. But yeah, you've got to, the way I see it is why you limit it, right? You want to cover all the avenues so people can watch or listen how they want. You know, today's selfish attitude, unfortunate in this world, right? You've got to provide it any and every which way so they can insist on doing how they want it, not how you have it to present it. But indeed, both being Christians, going to make the obvious joke or pun, give us the genesis of what was your creation of your American heritage show?
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): Well, I think going back a ways, I used to call him to Bill Bennett frequently and Bill Bennett would have me on. I was always blown away that he might have me on for 20 minutes or so and not trying to get rid of me. And he always seemed to appreciate the things I had to say. And then there was this contest where you created an ad for voting for Republicans. And I went second place in that and I went to Linda and Theorem and a number of other people who read my blog and I asked for votes. I think I rigged the election, speaking of rigging elections. And I remember talking to Theorem on an overpass over I-94 because I didn't want to drive and talk. And so I'm talking to Theorem on the year asking people to vote for me and a cop pulls up, starts knocking on the window to ask me what I'm doing. Well, I'm on the air with Theorem. So I won the contest and went to Washington DC, Sherry and I won and we went to see Bill Bennett had lunch with him. And when I got back, our friend, oh my goodness, Gary, Gary Wellings, he was doing the drift at the time and he asked me to come in and sit in with him and auditioned for being a co-host. And I guess I passed and so he asked me to stay with doing that. It's kind of interesting as I left the house at day to go to the studio. Sherry asked me, do you think he knows Doug Wellings? Now Doug Wellings is a guy that I had lunch with almost every day who owned a chain of Wendy's restaurants around here. We just were very much in tune politically. And so as I'm leaving, all of a sudden I'm realizing I'm looking at Gary and I was like, yeah, it could be. I said, do you know what Doug? That's my brother. They're like, how amazing, you know, a small world. So then I was doing that. And then actually I bought the paper, the current from Gary and we had to deal with the day run and he advertised in the paper and he gave us the airtime in trade. And so when I shut the paper down, I lost the airtime. So can you not hear me?
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Oh, you zoned out for a second and your audio and videos I think now, but you're back. Okay. The video you're talking isn't in tune with what I'm hearing, but I can still hear you.
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): That's all that matters. Yeah. Like a Japanese, like a Japanese Godzilla movie or something. And I've got the face for do. So anyways, to carry on with a long and boring story, my wife at one time during COVID, she says up and I had been kicked out of my church. Basically, I don't have my position as Bible instructor. And so I had a, I didn't have any venue, you know what I mean? I stopped calling in shows and Sherry said, Hey, why don't we look into getting you a radio show? And so I talked to Thay Ronan. We, we talked about what it would cost. And so that's why Sherry is my sponsor. And I think it's almost four years now. It's amazing how the time flies, you know, but I don't know how you feel about doing a show. I struggle. Because, you know, trying to find a guest wondering if they're going to show, wonder if it's going to be boring, wonder if we're going to run out of topics. I thought about that today with my guest. And at the end, I was like, yeah, I got, I over prepped again, but you just never know. But then that's why I count on you to call in and take up airtime. And all you space is out. You've noticed that a few times and chipped in. So that's good. So yeah, that's, that's basically the genesis of this. Yeah.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Yeah. Great. And again, yeah, thank you for having done what you've done and what you as what Dr. Dave Jandos. Thank you for what you've done. Our doing and we'll do, right? Yeah. To steal his line. Because if I might, you were an inspiration. Go on.
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): Thank you. If I might, it's, I started out the show as one thing. Help was president. And I felt that there was an attack on our culture and an attack on our history by the left and that there were people who were not informed of the history and of the, like I like to say, our biblical and American heritage, you know, both because the Bible inspired our American heritage. And so I was just going to have our bill Federer and, you know, maybe I'll get a certain from wall builders or something like that to come on. Other, other authors and talk about the American experience. And instead we had an election stolen from us. And so now it's a battle. And so the focus has become what do we do to get our nation back as Christians. And I think a number one is prayer. Yeah.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): As I always say, I use the hashtag drawer and I joke, no, not about Katy Perry drawer video. No, which is a good song. You know, I'm it's basically the Helen ready. I am woman. Hear me. I'll give them credit for it. But no, when I say roar, I mean restore our American Republic. We are not a mob. I foresee we are supposed to be a meritocracy, even though the left turning us into in that hypocrisy and kleptocracy.
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): Yeah, exactly. And of course, as far as a roar is concerned, my boss is the lion of the tribe of Judah. And he's represented as Ashland as land in the Chronicles of Narnia. So there is that component there of roar at the engine line.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Oh, yes, I like that. I got two things. I'm going to I made some notes. But before I forget, I made you note, we were last week, we were discussing whether you were going to still be in Virginia and you record out of your hotel room. Luckily, you're back now. You were going to potentially take a trip to Appomattox. Did you ever make it out while you were in Virginia?
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): I did not make it to Appomattox. And it's very interesting. I want to do that. It was too far to drive. And I had to read this book for this interview that I did with my guest today. And I was looking for a quiet place. I could read it. What happened was I ended up going to this civil war park that was only a mile away from my hotel, but it turned out you couldn't see it was where these gun emplacements were. They call it a battery and this is battery. Francin. And the plant I was working on it, the road it was on was called battery brook or brook battery. So they named after these gun emplacements overlooking the James River. But in either place, could you ever see the river anymore? Because the trees that have grown up and the conservationists won't let anybody cut them down. So like what's the point? So here I am going to this place that has signs where yes, you see these pits here. That's where the gun emplacement was here. This is where over here. And you see nothing. And so I just drove away thinking I'll find another place in Richmond and I'm doing Google Maps and I see there's a boat launch. Well, at least I can see the James River. So I'm going to go down to the boat launch. When I went down to the boat launch, I saw this thing. I said, Henrico Park, not Enrico, like, you know, the Italian or the Spanish, but Henrico Park. And I just wonder if I can read there. And I found a mini, a mini Greenfield village there. I just, I had no idea. Absolutely. No idea I was going to go there and I'm looking at this stock game and I go to walk through and there's a rope that says, you have to pay admission first. Okay, so go up to the visitor center. It's $13. I mean, at a point in my life where I actually have 13 bucks this bear. And so I didn't know what I was going to get into when I went in there. And when I went in the first thing, this family was just getting the end of a lecture by one of the docents and this guy sitting there in colonial garb. You know, we're talking about 16, 10 stuff and there's firearms on the wall. There's match locks. There's helmets. There's leather vests. There's all these swords and daggers and weapons of war and blacksmithing articles. And this guy's telling the story of Henrico while he's done and they leave and then I get them all the myself. We talked for about an hour. And so we talked for about an hour and he let me handle one of the match locks. And he told me his wife actually has these built. She sells them. So she contracts out. He does the stocks. She contracts out the barrels. She contracts out the mechanisms. And then she assembles them. And he's telling me about all the intricacies of flint locks, the English versus the Spanish versus the always really. So I called Rick, you know, Dick Kupke. I called Dick Kupke, got him on the phone and says, you got to talk to this guy. So Dick's going to have him on my show. And then I'm going to have him on my show right after that. We're going to talk about the colonial period after Dick talks about guns. Then I went on to the church and there was guys talking about colonial Christianity. Then I went to a recreation of the home that punkahana lived in when she was being groomed as for the English. And the lady there was really intelligent, smart, right. And she's talking to all these people are conservatives, by the way, although they didn't they couldn't come out with it. When I got to them afterwards, because I had them alone, you know, you give a few buzzwords and find out where they're coming from. Right. So she's telling me about Pocahontas was actually she married in Henrico, not in Jamestown. I always thought it was in Jamestown. But Henrico was an outreach of Jamestown itself that the Virginia company saw that Jamestown was actually having a lot of problems and may not make it. So they needed to open up a new place and they opened up Henrico. But then when Jamestown started waxing again, instead of waning, they took their focus off of Henrico. They still stayed. It didn't become the new Jamestown and actually kind of got lost to history, even though it was a center for the farmers who were around there. Quite an interesting story around all that, all because I went for a place to read a book.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Isn't that great? And two things for Edgenyplanny. I'm in Windat, both suburbs of Detroit. He mentioned Greenfield Village. That reference will be lost on everybody. So we'll explain it. It's a place in Dearborn, Michigan that is a not an amusement park, but a historical park where they relocated things like Edison's initial...
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): His mental park laboratory. And the boarding house. The boarding house for his engineers. And I brought that there too.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Yeah, but I didn't know what to call them. So thank you for chiming in. But yeah, all these historical buildings from all over places have been painstakingly put out... You can occasionally see a house moving down the road on the flatbed, but yeah, they painstakingly moved even a big windmill. It's there. I don't know the significance of it, but a lot of historic properties relocated to Greenfield Village in Dearborn if you're in Detroit, you got to go there.
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): When I was on the plane flying back from Virginia, I'm sitting next to a big guy and he's reading a book on the Wright Brothers. And I said, so are you from this area? Are you from Detroit? He says, no, I'm not. I'm just going to stay there well for a family event and then move on. I says, well, if you're interested in the Wright Brothers, have you ever heard of Greenfield Village because their bicycle shop is in Greenfield Village? You know, so he talked about historical appropriations. Henry Ford went all around the country and ripped these sites from their historical, you know, positions and brought them to basically a situation of which was a rural area in Dearborn at that time, you know, because he wanted people to have a view of the rural roots of America. That's what that was his hope. I mean, the guy just like, thank you, Jesus for Henry Ford, besides the Model A. And then there's the museum.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Yeah, in the museum. Yes. Also, you got to see that too. While you spend a day in the village, spend another day in the museum. And there is an actual working farm on Greenfield Village. Yeah. And the other reference you mentioned Dick Kupke, he's the host of Trigger Talk on WAAM Radio at two hours, but it's broken up. 11 a.m. Eastern and then the second hour one, which was Rick, past Rick Deederings, old moment of clarity, our dicks now taking that over as a second hour from one to two right before your show, which is 1400 Eastern time. And before I forget, people could go obviously to WAAM Radio dot com. And there's a listen live button there, which is a whole fiasco. We won't go behind. They recently changed the streaming. I was like, where the station go? That's not planned.
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): And find out that I got text. I got text during my broadcast today. The stream is not working because it kind of got broke. Tune in wasn't working. Streamer wasn't working. Usually I have my wife on simple radio and she listens in the kitchen. And that wasn't working. I had to do the live 365. I think it's called with that app on her phone. But the Theron's working on that. Yeah. Like you said, a fiasco. It should all get soon.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): But at any rate, now back to our earlier conversation that I wrote down, like I spoke to on your show today with your guests, because you were talking about history and the modern church, many of which have gone to really being the church of the deep state or church of woke, not church of Christ anymore. They are of the world, not of Christ in the world. But this difference of community and communism, the foundations are biblical on community, individualism, personal freedoms, personal responsibilities, voluntary charity, right, to be our brother's keeper, versus this bastardization of community, which is communism, which is forced, which is theft and redistribution. It's not biblical, the fundamental transformation of America away from our biblical roots to this new communism.
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): Yes, exactly. You know, I was listening to Bill Whittle's podcast, which I really enjoy. And one of his co-hosts was talking about, I think something Thomas Sowell might have said, but regardless, it's that we live in a thank you, thank you society, not a thank you, you're welcome society. And what that means is that when you do a transaction, you go into a store and a guy owns a store and you buy a candy bar, and he hands you the candy bar and you say, thank you. And you hand him his money and he says, thank you. It's transactional and you've both gotten something out of the bargain. Whereas in a socialist society, you go to the government and you say, thank you. And they say, you're welcome. If they even say that, they're not thanking you. They took from you.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Right. Yeah. They stole it from you to begin with. Exactly. Now you said something on the show. I hadn't heard before. So let's cover it. The Warren quote about a firm. Explain that.
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): Well, Megan bash, I was talking to Megan Basham who wrote the book, Shepherds for sale. And as you know, on my show quite a bit, I've been harping on since COVID. I've been harping on pastors who shut down the churches and the congregations that put up with it and then urging people to talk to their pastors and perhaps urge them to get involved politically because this is like I played the clip of Tucker Carlson. You know, there's a, there's a vast political, vast spiritual battle going on that manifests itself as a political battle. It's good versus evil. It really is end time stuff. It's, it's ghostbusters stuff. You know, it's all. I mean, that's, that's really happening. And people will suspend their imagination and watch ghostbusters and say, Oh, that wouldn't be something if it was like that. I'm telling you, it's like that. It's not Zul. It's Satan. This is not the church lady. Could it be Satan? No, it's not. It's, it's Satan. And he's trying to take over. He's trying to hold off. You know, he's trying to destroy the world that Christ made because he's, I don't know how he can think that he's going to get away with it. But regardless, he's got minions and puppets that are coming against us. And they've got to destroy the Christian church. And one way of doing that in her book, she actually talks about and writes about, I should say, and gives examples of people that are funding certain evangelical organizations with an idea towards getting them to espouse the new green deal. Uh, gay rights, it seems to have affected a Warren himself, Rick Warren and Andy Stanley. It's like, man, I listen to Charles Stanley for a number of years, you know, uh, record him on TV and then watch him later and always a blessing. And there was something going on with his son because I Google his name once in a while and find out that all of a sudden here on the outs. Well, okay. Billy, Billy Graham son Franklin, who was, you know, ran away from him for a while. And, uh, Jim, um, oh, focus on the family.
None: Baker.
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): Oh, no, not Jim Baker. Focus on the family. Um, it means Dobson's son. He was supposed to take over and there were problems with him. And then he came back to the Lord. Franklin Graham came back and he Stanley is a problem because he's got the largest congregation, which is eight. It's a huge mega church, which eight satellite churches. You know, so he's, he's like his own mini denomination and he has decided, and I've got him. I know it's somewhere here. I can actually quote it to you if I pull that up. Oh, any Stanley, the son of Charles Stanley said the decision of same sex couples to marry his, quote, their decision. Our decision as a group of local churches is how we are going to respond to their decisions. Stanley said North Point, his church has taken the position that it will welcome people regardless of their starting point, regardless of their past, regardless of their current circumstances, our messages come and see and come sit with me. Now I'm good with that up to a point, like a best Baptist friend of mine said once, if we had a lady come to our church and she was a prostitute and come off the street and she was dressed like a prostitute. She's welcome. She doesn't have to sit in the back of the church. She can sit in the front of the church, but we're not going to put up with it week after week after week. We're not going to affirm her lifestyle. We're going to say, no, you've got a problem. You know you've got a problem. We can help you with that problem. Jesus can help you with that problem. Let us help you with that problem. And Rick Warren, the same thing said, we are here to affirm. No, you're not here to affirm. You're here to challenge demonic lifestyles. And, you know, they may not be quote unquote worshiping demons, but it's a demonic influence lifestyle. When you see trans dancing in front of kids in a library and looking garish and and comical and you know something is wrong here. Something is radically wrong. It's spiritual battle.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): That's different to my coin between Billy. Not going to give us the last name gay man. That is not all in who he is. Unlike modern leftist, the rainbow alphabet mafia, that is their entire identity. They are not tolerance and acceptance. They are gate to vests engaging in gate to wisdom. They want to normalize and legalize pedophilia. That is a whole different thing. There are I got a show of regular model Saturday monologue show that I go into this. Again, tolerance and acceptance is one thing because final judgment, condemnation is reserved for the Lord, not me. So if you could give that whole war and quote like you did on the show, because like you said, you're with them and I'm with them. I'm for tolerance and acceptance to a degree. But at some point there is a line that has to stop. And as you said, that word affirm. No, no way in hell do I affirm your lifestyle. I can tolerate it. I can accept it if it's you. But when it becomes your soul and only focus in life, that's a red line that I will not cross.
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): Yeah, well, the war and quote is as I carefully typed these words, I publicly apologize to every member of the gay community. My silence and lack of caring has done you harm. I'm so sorry and I repent. I accept you. I love you. I affirm you. Well, like I said, I could do two out of three. I can accept you. I can love you like Jesus. Jesus loves you. He doesn't. He accepts you as you are with the better for you. That will change exactly. But if I affirm you, I'm telling you everything's all right in your life and it ain't. It just ain't. But you know what? I'm not going to stone you. I'm not going to I'm not going to be had you. I'm not going to hang you and throw you off a bridge like they would in, you know, Tehran or Gaza. Yeah, exactly.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): We're queers for Palestine. All kinds of memes, right? They literally attack Christians in America who love them, but will tolerate, but not affirm their lifestyle. But we're not stoning them, but Palestinian Muslims, the Hamas terrorists are she I set absolutists who would stone them to death. So they attack Christians here who just say, you know, we support traditional marriage. Oh, my God, you can't do that. But them stoning gays look the other way. But the other way, we support the terrorists.
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): Yeah, it's just incredible. It's crazy. I mean, you know, and when when you see when you see these Hamas terrorists defacing our public monuments and when you see them interrupting meetings, you know, and and public meetings, you got to ask yourself, why are the J sixers in jail once again? Why? Oh, because they're Christians. That's why they're in jail invariably. The J sixers, you know, I've had a number of them on my show. They hold prayer meetings. They hold Bible studies. They have choir. You know, can you imagine a whole, you know, a cell block, you know, having a choir each guy and is a couple guys in their own cell, but they're it's not it's not a better roses at all. Some of them have been Jake Lang, Jake Lang for, I don't know, almost two and a half years now has been in prison without being charged. I mean, there's no sentence on him. And he's in he's in solitary confinement in the same facility that Epstein was in. That there's something a little bit wrong about that.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Clear violation of due process and right to a speedy trial. They even charging and trying to try them. They've just got them locked up and in your right, you know, but this is like the Wuhan hysteria. Some good will come from it. God works in mysterious ways, right? Like the Wuhan hysteria, zoom schooling, parents finally saw and awakened from their woke stupor and the Jan sixers. Now, we already know there are prison ministries, but they are taking it to home to levels.
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): They are becoming a prison ministry.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): They are God's point and purpose in this bad.
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): And they're being battle hardened. Just wait till they get out of jail. Wait till they get out of jail. Oh, Biden DOJ, which you brought up on yourself. Oh, you know, you meant it for harm, but God meant it for good. That's a quote.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Amen. Amen. Exactly. Well, you know, I try to keep my shows around the 30 minute mark. So we're there. So let me go.
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): Is everyone out of words?
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Oh, OK. I was going to open it up to you. Is anything you want to throw out there in closing?
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): Well, just I appreciate your give me this opportunity to talk to your audience. And it's been interesting. And your podcast is is is needed. Chrystitutional politics. I like the title. And again, thanks for having me on. Appreciate it.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Again, yeah, thank you again, my brother, my friend, Ed Bonderaka on Chrystitutional politics. Again, you can find him at WAAM radio.com as well as others. I or we together. I don't want to say collectively. Oh, my God, I don't know that.
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): That's a spot of fun.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): I think other other people we've mentioned that are on WAAM , you can go to WAAM radio.com. There's a shows link. Look at other shows. There's a podcast link. Oh, you created a shortcut tiny URL.com slash WAAM radio where people can jump short link to the listen live page. I years ago created tiny URL.com. I love that service tiny URL.com slash y a eight archives to take you to why I think it's your Spotify page. Yeah. So why eight for your American heritage, tiny URL.com, y a eight archives.
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): So I can't I can't create a tiny URL without thinking of you. Oh, and I made this. This is what Joe would do if he hadn't done it already. Yeah.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): I thought I tried slash WAAM radio and it was already taken. I couldn't use it, but I pointed to the wrong stream. Anyhow, so yeah, because I have a I think tiny URL.com slash WAAM listen live or something like that, but that won't be valid anymore because it goes to the mainstream which won't work anymore. So forget that last one.
ED BONDERENKA (Your American Heritage host): It was hard to work in the first place. So I'm glad they replaced it. So Joe was good. Good talking with you. Thanks for having me.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Yeah, glad you came by. Thanks again for taking the time. I really appreciate it. Take care. God bless brother.

9/11 Remembrance time again...

First, let me start by saying I hope everyone had the chance to get some relaxation, relief, release, over the long Holiday Labor-Day weekend. That last chance, for many, before Summer symbolically (at least) comes to an end (though we’ve had a cooler than usual Summer here in MidWest USA and Canada, hotter after Labor-Day than had all Summer and more Rainy than “average”/normal Aug./Sep. (as, of course, it isn’t Climate Hustle it’s called normal/natural cycling)). As I’ve written before, we all deserve some occasional distractions and time away from the seriousness of everyday life. Now, after you’ve hopefully had some fun, joy, laughter, time to shift to somber thoughtfulness.

Remember 9/11 while not an Official Holiday is Nationally observed (as “Patriot Day” or like here in Michigan (more down-thread) entire “Patriot Week.”) but NOT an Anniversary (per se) but a REMEMBRANCE and/or COMMEMORATION day – those that were lost, as well as honoring the sacrifice to those who may have Fallen as result of events that then followed.

VIDEO (60m 03s): Behind-The-Scenes look at pre-9/11 CTP Show (S1E12) Show dropping same day as this TLB piece (Sat. Sep. 9th 2023) - including discussions with Ed Bonderenka (WAAM), Pastor Robert (FAITHcasters), Roger Landry (TLB Project), and Michael Gardner (Savaged Unfiltered) -- coming in October CTP will have J. J. Carrell (Activist, Author, CBP retired, NEWSMAX contributor, more):

As most of you know I also co-host the Savaged Unfiltered podcast, and we did a 9/11 Commemoration Show (S4E498) there also that dropped Thu. Sep. 7th.

I say the same thing regarding “commemoration” vs “anniversary” about Memorial Day (you likely already say my “Honoring the Fallen Beyond Memorial Day” piece on that).... DO NOT DARE CALL IT AN ANNIVERSARY (I do not even like the “Holiday” (as by extension the adoption of the words/terms “Holy Day” though we consider those died as given a Holy Sacrifice (as will be discussed in an upcoming “God and Guns” piece) to Defense of people and Freedom), "Anniversaries" are for happy things and the commemorations are indeed either commemoration days or remembrance days!!!

Remember our words have meaning! We have to be more careful in our word-choices. Cannot be as loose and warping of intent of word meanings as the Left. Holiday and Anniversary are upbeat, positive implication, words (like for 4th-Of-July Celebration of our Freedoms, though yes too we honor those who fought a Revolution for us to Celebrate such Freedom on that day and why The Left wants that Holiday cancelled (as discussed in couple of “Movies and Politics” pieces (here and here, and another “Music, TV, Politics” (that, yes, will have more film/movie references in it too) on the way dropping Sept. 30th) and the “An American Carol” film)) – versus Commemorations and Remembrances.

Gone, not forgotten. Forever in our Hearts!!! Far too many have given that “last final measure” of sacrifice. We are failing our Nation and our own Children not properly Educating them!!! In the USA the Indoctrination factories (and other supposed FREE SOCIETY systems) are peddling Radicalism, Raunch/peRversion (tRans, pedophilia), Racism (cRt), and anti-ameRicanism - the new "R's" - to our Entitled/lazy, participation tRophy overblown self-esteem buffoons, know nothing brats (thankfully, not all, thankfully some are raising well-rounded respectful Kids - educating them at Home via Home-Schooling directly or supplementing their Education as time allows); meanwhile China is teaching their Children the traditional "R's" of Reading, wRiting, aRithmetic, histoRy, scRience (see what I did there, cuz our kids are so dumb they wouldn't know the R doesn't belong there), biRology (not fake gendeRism), honoR, Respect, woRk-ethic, etc... Americans taught only the flaws of our past (when/where taught History at all, taught to Hate America so Leftists can “fundamentally transform” us to another failed State), not the countless great accomplishments (and how the World would look so different without her).

From my “TERROR STRIKES: COMING SOON TO A CITY NEAR YOU” book ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS / DEDICATIONS section (IN-PART):
Thank you too…

… all those who have suffered loss due to the cowardly attacks against the United States’ innocent citizens that occurred throughout the years and especially September 11, 2001 – to which I said I would NEVER FORGET and I shall indeed Never Forget and I carry a tribute to you all on my right arm.

… first responders (Corrections, Dispatch, EMS/EMT, Fire, Law Enforcement, Military).

… those helping others through charitable pursuits (please help pay it forward - see: http://TerrorStrikes.info/charities). [includes several 1st Responders and Military Charities]

And, of course, thoughts and prayers to family of so many of those we’ve lost. Rest in peace, your memory lives on in us all.

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. (Matthew 5:14)

You can use promo-code FALLEN at https://TerrorStrikes.info/shop at check-out for discount and FREE shipping (U. S. Addresses only, other see: International Sales page) on an Autographed copy of either or both of my books.

Rest-in-peace, you knew the horrors of War (those that day, many of them not recognizing, knowing, realizing, we were already at War and they became casualties of that War on Western Culture by GIJIAS), and we owe you a debt that can never be paid. Have you forgotten?? Are you actually doing things (that matter, of substance) to preserve Freedoms here at Home?!?! You Shall Be Known By Your Fruits (not your online, empty-rhetoric, virtue-signaling). We don’t know them all, but we owe them all.

#ThoughtsAndPrayers – to the Fallen and to those all left-behind to pick up the pieces of Family, Friends, and even complete strangers (still fellow Americans) we hold dear now (if not then) – as I talk about the issues of “Survivors-Guilt” in my Terror Strikes book and the horrors of PTSD in that book’s 9/11 chapter as they too deal with (like our Soldiers often do) and too issues of Depression and Suicidal-thoughts.

From my friend Justice Michael Warren (who, with former MI-State Senator Patrick Colbeck) created PATRIOT WEEK (that encompasses week of 9/11, to teach Constitution, U.S. History, more) and others at the organization here in Michigan….

Established by Congress in 1894, Labor Day (the first Monday of September) was created to commemorate the struggles and landmark accomplishments of the labor movement. No doubt a worthy cause. But let’s face it, today it represents the end of summer and provides a three day weekend marked by barbecues and appliance sales. This has become so ingrained in the American mindset, we can never go back.
The real holiday to celebrate this September is Patriot Week. Starting on September 11 (the anniversary of the terrorists attacks) and ending on September 17 (the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution - Constitution Day), Patriot Week renews America’s spirit by celebrating the first principles, Founding Fathers and other patriots, vital documents, speeches and flags that make America the greatest nation in world history.
Patriot Week began as a response to the commercialization and loss of meaning of traditional national holidays, like Labor Day. Patriot Week invigorates American citizens’ appreciation and understanding of their nation’s spirit. It began when 10 year old Leah Warren pounded on a restaurant table and demanded that her father and her start a new celebration of America.
In this time of discord and hyper-partisanship, Patriot Week provides the opportunity to remind us all of what unites as Americans.
This year, we have a wide variety of initiatives and events: a Fun Family Event, a Panel Discussions, Fundraisers, 9/11 Commemoration Ceremonies and more! Please join us and have a meaningful celebration of America.

God bless you and God Bless America.
