AMGrind Wrap Up Nov 13th: Political Recovery Monday
. . . and a little Monday Morning Quarterbacking.
“Good morning, it is time for the Monday, November 13, 2023 edition of the AM Grind. My name is Patrick Rafferty and I'm your host this morning on America Mission's Monday thru Friday AM space. I'm excited to have Ms. Carol and Walter Curt with us this morning to co-host.
Friday's Veterans Day (observed) space was really powerful, I thought, at least. We happened to really dig deep on the challenge of when US power has a role, and, what the cost of projecting that power in an irresponsible fashion can be to America's interests, and, by extension our own lives and happiness here and abroad. Definitely we need to dig into some of those things this week.
Today is #RecoveryMonday, and, while I hope all of you thanked your Veterans this weekend and loved on them a bit, and took a break for yourselves, there was no shortage of news. Esteban hit the nail on the head, and should be commended for being among those in his generation that are starting to realize the true cost to himself personally and to his generation, his children, and likely their grand children. And while not all of that is laid at the feet of the military industrial complex, the last 20 years certainly shows us that set of vested interests can take us for trillions, even in relative peace.
We'll hit on a few facts in that vein this morning, alongside the many news topics. Among which I'd like to highlight our fundraiser for Matt Couch* over the weekend, for his leg (based on what I've seen, he won't have to spring for the peg leg, but the Leg Lamp version is probably out of his price range.
Oh, and Zelenskyy and Ukraine are starting to realize they aren't as high on the pecking order as they'd once believed. Congress is on the verge of another series of BIG YELLOW Omnibus's, and Tucker has a great interview out to remind us about the rights we're allowing to be taken from us and this administrations proclivity for stomping on them.. “

Five take-aways from today’s AMGrind:
The Republican Primary field is narrowing in a manner that could create an opening for a challenger to Trump's, right now, "Runaway Primary"...Check out our own Walter's article from this weeks Dispatch on the GOPs next big challenge:
“The Grand Old Party's New Challenge: Modernizing Strategy for the Digital Voter”.YOUR veterans need a big HUG, phone call, and to be remembered. I hope you remembered a special Veteran in your life over this past weekend.
DeSantis and NIkki Haley's "pumps" are duking it out, with some fully automatic Monolo Blanik's taking Aim at some Boots that were made for dancing...And out in front, the former President appears unassailable. Suggest we all prepare for the impossible, and open our minds to alternatives. Because this cult like affection for any of these politicians is, at minimum, EQUALLY DANGEROUS to America's future, as the current usurper and his enablers in the administrative state. IMHO
TOMORROWs GRIND will kick off with a follow up to the interview Ms. Carol shared in the last 20 minutes of today's space. That interview brings to the fore a very thoughtful analysis of the risks, rewards, and adjustments that irresponsible innovation in AI could bring. Let's find a better answer together...
