“God, Guns and America” by Mike Austin Book Review, Part 1

Christian Democrats advocate criminalization of paradigmatically innocent conduct, and they do it in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

One such example is the book by Mike Austin called “God, Guns and America.”

This is part one of a review of the book with Kurtis Olson on FB LIVE 17 March 2021 at 6:33 pm

The Republican Professor is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D.

This episode was co-hosted and co-produced by Mr. Kurtis Olson.

Warmly,

Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D.

Why A Trump-Appointed, Republican Senate-Confirmed Judge Struck Down the CDC’s Mask Mandate

Lucas J. Mather 0

It’s Fall 2024, and we’re working on a longer attention span, in this case, remembering why the Biden Administration lost the CDC Mask Mandate — not because they thought it was bad, illegal, or unnecessary. It’s gone because a Trump-appointed Judge, Kathryn Kimball Mizelle was the judge who heard the case and applied the time-tested judicial tools to discern the the CDC’s rule was illegal in our Constitutional Republic. Let’s recall how that went.

The case is Health Freedom Defense Fund v. Biden, judgment filed 18 April 2022 in the United States District Court Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division by Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle.

The Republican Professor is a pro-Constitutional-Americanism, pro-pay-attention-to-the-definition-of-terms, pro-limited-government podcast.

Therefore, welcome Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, US District Court Judge appointed by President Trump, confirmed by a Republican US Senate.

The Citizens’ Amendment by the late Dr. John W. Boswell, Ph.D. (MSgt, US Army 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment, Delta, ret)

Lucas J. Mather 0

Army 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta Master Sergeant (ret.) Dr. John W. Boswell, Ph.D.’s “Essay 2: Understanding Consolidation,” and “Essay 3: The Citizens’ Amendment” published under the pen name S. Roane, 13 and 18 Jan 2021, respectively, is read and discussed via FB Live 1 March 2021 with Kurtis Olson at 1:30 pm California Time.

This is honoring the late John W. Boswell.

John had a storied career in Army Special Forces. He took down Noriega, he fought in the actual battle depicted in the film Black Hawk Down. He was awarded the Purple Heart and Silver Star.

After his military service, he earned a BA, MA, and Ph.D., focusing on Public Law and American Politics.

MSgt Dr. Boswell was deeply concerned about the consequences of an ignorant populace, ill-trained by Democrat only biased tax funded college campuses to prefer the thin venear of Socialism. He saw that first-hand as an older college student.

John’s first duty station, prior to being selected for sergeant and then the special forces, was in West Germany. He saw the Iron Curtain and what socialism had done to Eastern Europe. He was never tired of reporting that the guns on the wall were pointed towards itself, the Communist side, to prevent those wanting to escape. The Socialist threat didn’t initially present itself that way, but that’s how it ended up, a hell-hole.

Permission was granted by the author to read and discuss prior to his untimely death.

When Kamala Harris was a Defendant in California She Violated Civil Rights, According to a Democrat Judge

Lucas J. Mather 0

Today, we once again have a Democrat on The Republican Professor podcast, Senior District Court Judge Anthony Ishii. Judge Ishii is an expert on this particular topic, because it was before him in 2014 in federal court in central California.

Judge Ishii was appointed to the federal bench by President Bill Clinton. And to his great credit he gets the right answer for the right reasons here in this case called Silvester v. Harris, 41 F. Supp. 3d 927 (2014). The defendant in that case was the State of California, represented in her capacity as Attorney General by one Kamala Harris — I’ve heard of her.

Judge Ishii’s correct judicial reasoning was overturned by the Democrat dominated 9th Circuit before President Trump was elected. They ignored his correct analysis in order to go back to the status quo, which was that the government can do whatever the H—- it wants to its citizens in the realm of firearm regulation, no matter how arbitrary and capricious.

Judge Ishii had a problem with that regime, even as a California Democrat.

So Judge Ishii joins us through his judicial writing, his findings of fact and judgment in a bench trial on the matter in Silvester v. Kamala Harris (2014).

The Republican Professor is a pro-correctly-articulating-the-point-of-constitutional-law, pro-correcting-powerful-people-wrong-on-the-Second-Amendment podcast.

Therefore, welcome Senior Judge Anthony Ishii !

Remembering John William Boswell, Ph.D., Retired Delta Operator, Master Sgt, US Army Special Forces (ret)., with Lucas J. Mather

Lucas J. Mather 0

We pay tribute to retired Army Master Sgt. John William Boswell (Bozz), Ph.D., who spent most of his career in Special Forces (Delta) prior to going to college as undergraduate (at DU) through graduate, eventuating in a Ph.D. during the lockdowns of 2020 from Claremont Colleges. He was my best friend in graduate school and an inspiration and motivator for The Republican Professor project, of which this podcast is a key part.

We then proceed, as Bozz would’ve wanted, to get right back into, continuing where we left off with Senior Judge Anthony Ishii’s take-down of Kamala Harris in Silvester v. Harris, 41 F. Supp. 3d 927 ff (2014).

We finish the findings of fact , today, and proceed legal analysis in this pivotal case involving the 10 day waiting period of firearm transfers in the State of California and how the State abuses its citizens by any method it can, this being just one of them.

The Republican Professor is a pro-John-Bozz-Boswell, pro-Constitution podcast.

Here is the link to John’s obit : https://www.eventcreate.com/e/johnwboswell

Therefore, welcome back Anthony Ishii and thanks for helping us to remember my dear friend John William Boswell (Bozz), 1959 -2023.

Justice Thomas on Silvester v. Harris (2014) with Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D., The Republican Professor (TRP)

Lucas J. Mather 0

The last three episodes, we’ve gone through in detail much of Senior Judge Ishii’s judgment and findings of fact in Silvester v. Harris (2014) at a California-based U.S. District Court (trial court).

Judge Ishii, a Democrat, found in favor of the Second Amendment against the State of California’s then-attorney general, Kamala Harris.

The 9th Circuit on appeal then reversed that gain for the Second Amendment, without requiring evidence, without acknowledging the arguments for the Second Amendment, and without acknowledging the findings of fact ascertained by Judge Ishii in that case at trial.

Justice Clarence Thomas wrote from the US Supreme Court that he was appalled, when the application came up for review in 2018. And he says why in this episode of The Republican Professor podcast.

Recall, Justice Thomas was the author of the Court’s opinion in NY Rifle & Pistol Assn v. Bruen (June, 2022). This is part of the background history for what he wrote there at that time.

Here’s a link to the text: https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=3462537144774180807&q=silvester+v+becerra&hl=en&as_sdt=2003
