FiredUP Ep 115 - Texas Abortion Law, Gas Prices and more!

On the latest FiredUP podcast:

We open up a discussion of how states are taking a cue from the Texas Abortion law – specifically the civilian lawsuit authorization segment, to sue Teachers and school departments that are teaching subjects that present LGBTQ or related subjects to their elementary students. This comes as FL Gov. DeSantis signs the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law and the ongoing CRT battle continues.

We introduce the subject of Letters of Marque and Reprisal: The Constitution of the United States grants Congress the power authorize the President to assign “agents” to go outside of the borders of the US and seize assets. We refer to Article 1 Section 8 where foreign assets and accounts can be seized outside of US borders. France and Italy have used similar authorization under their Laws to do the same.

What is this meme and the stickers showing up on gas pumps that depict President Biden and the slogan “I Did This” or similar referring to the rising cost of gasoline. We look at whether or not the President actually has the authority to set the price for gas.

It’s been 2 years since Louisville Police broke down the door to Breonna Taylor’s apartment. Based on information that was proven to be incorrect. When her boyfriend fired a single shot at the police because he believed they were criminals breaking in and because this was a “no knock” warrant they did not announce themselves as Police, they fired back. Breonna was fatally wounded and died five minutes later.  We will look at how her death, along with that of George Floyd two months later and the aftermath of the Trevon Martin murder led to the creation of the BLM movement. We also note the result of the verdict for the officer that shot her.
