This act was the soul artist chosen to perform at the Royal’s World Series Celebration Rally for a 800,000 plus crowd at Union Station.  Recently a Big Time Grain Company's song, \"Hard to Want\" was featured on a nationwide NFL broadcast of a Chiefs/Raider’s game.   In addition the group shared the stage with Big & Rich, Restless Heart, Brother’s Osborne, Gary Allan, Dan and Shay, Travis Tritt, Chase Bryant, JoDee Messina, Los Lobos, Lanco and many more as well as headlining many country festivals all over middle America.  Big Time Grain Co is a great fit for private events, corporate events, festivals, openers and more.</li></ul>","summary":"This week instead of the typical single episode, we have 2 shorter episodes.  This one is an interview from my terrestrial radio show that I did with Chad and Bret Borquin of Big Time Grain Company. BTGC is a country band out of Kansas City that is taking a new approach to how we enjoy music and entertainment.

Two-thirds of the world’s people live in countries that protect their borders with a wall or fence. Governments build these barriers because they are an effective way to keep people out.Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776 — When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.Farewell Address to the Continental Congress — After eight years of service, and more than two years after Cornwallis’ surrender at Yorktown, George Washington traveled to Annapolis, Maryland, where he formally resigned his commission as commander in chief of the Armies of the nascent United States of America; he delivered these remarks to the Continental Congress on December 23, 1783.The Case for Sovereignty - Jeremy A. Rabkin — This book goes beyond slogans and catchphrases to engage one of the most contested concepts in contemporary international politics: the sovereign rights of nation-states.The Coming War on Sovereignty — While the term “sovereignty” has acquired many, often inconsistent, definitions, Americans have historically understood it to mean our collective right to govern ourselves within our Constitutional framework.

It is an Obama-administration scandal.\r\n\r\nThe Clintons were just doing what the Clintons do: cashing in on their “public service.” The Obama administration, with Secretary Clinton at the forefront but hardly alone, was knowingly compromising American national-security interests.America Uranium in Russia - The New York Times — Rosatom had taken over a Canadian company with uranium-mining stakes stretching from Central Asia to the American West. The deal made Rosatom one of the world’s largest uranium producers and brought Mr. Putin closer to his goal of controlling much of the global uranium supply chain.\r\n\r\nBut the untold story behind that story is one that involves not just the Russian president, but also a former American president and his wife.Russian Nuclear Energy Conquers the World — Russian nuclear energy demonstrated impressive achievements in the global market \"of nuclear services\" in 2012. In this area, Rosatom State Corporation wins competition with major Western companies, even though cooperation in the field of \"peaceful atom\" remains under strong political pressure.Russian Oligarch And Putin Pal Admits To Collusion — Russian Oligarch Oleg Deripaska, a close associate of Vladimir Putin, has gone on record with The Hill's John Solomon - admitting to colluding with Americans leading up to the 2016 US election, except it might not be what you're thinking.ICE Arrests in Courtrooms Become Necessity — The reason ICE has to do arrests on the street or in courthouses or other public places is precisely because the anti-border jurisdictions have prevented them from doing it in a safe, controlled environment in the county jails, these sanctuary jurisdictions are creating the very problem they’re complaining about.South Africa is in a Mess and Little Hope Remains — ...the South African economy is in a mess and diving deeper by the day. On Monday the rating agency Moody’s savagely criticised the finance minister Malusi Gigaba’s recent budget statement, almost certainly heralding a further down-grade of the country’s foreign and local currency – already given junk status by two of the three big rating agencies.Trump Bashing at Funerals is Juvenile — The Trump bashing at the John McCain and Aretha Franklin funerals was monumentally juvenile.\r\nTrump of course contributes to this by his own massive signal-to-noise problem.  He doesn’t know how to shut his mouth when he’s ahead.  With a roaring economy, he only has himself to blame if the Republicans lose the House in November.California Wants a Woman on Every Board — If the bill is signed into law by California governor Jerry Brown, it would be the first state to take such a step. Unlike some European countries, the United States doesn't mandate female representation on company boards.

It is an Obama-administration scandal.\r\n\r\nThe Clintons were just doing what the Clintons do: cashing in on their “public service.” The Obama administration, with Secretary Clinton at the forefront but hardly alone, was knowingly compromising American national-security interests.</li><li><a title=\"America Uranium in Russia - The New York Times\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/us/cash-flowed-to-clinton-foundation-as-russians-pressed-for-control-of-uranium-company.html\">America Uranium in Russia - The New York Times</a> &mdash; Rosatom had taken over a Canadian company with uranium-mining stakes stretching from Central Asia to the American West. The deal made Rosatom one of the world’s largest uranium producers and brought Mr. Putin closer to his goal of controlling much of the global uranium supply chain.\r\n\r\nBut the untold story behind that story is one that involves not just the Russian president, but also a former American president and his wife.</li><li><a title=\"Russian Nuclear Energy Conquers the World\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://www.pravdareport.com/russia/economics/22-01-2013/123551-russia_nuclear_energy-0/\">Russian Nuclear Energy Conquers the World</a> &mdash; Russian nuclear energy demonstrated impressive achievements in the global market \"of nuclear services\" in 2012. In this area, Rosatom State Corporation wins competition with major Western companies, even though cooperation in the field of \"peaceful atom\" remains under strong political pressure.</li><li><a title=\"Russian Oligarch And Putin Pal Admits To Collusion\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-09-01/russian-oligarch-and-putin-pal-admits-collusion-secret-meetings\">Russian Oligarch And Putin Pal Admits To Collusion</a> &mdash; Russian Oligarch Oleg Deripaska, a close associate of Vladimir Putin, has gone on record with The Hill's John Solomon - admitting to colluding with Americans leading up to the 2016 US election, except it might not be what you're thinking.</li><li><a title=\"ICE Arrests in Courtrooms Become Necessity\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://www.latimes.com/localh/lanow/la-me-ln-ice-courtroom-arrest-20180829-story.html\">ICE Arrests in Courtrooms Become Necessity</a> &mdash; The reason ICE has to do arrests on the street or in courthouses or other public places is precisely because the anti-border jurisdictions have prevented them from doing it in a safe, controlled environment in the county jails, these sanctuary jurisdictions are creating the very problem they’re complaining about.</li><li><a title=\"South Africa is in a Mess and Little Hope Remains\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://www.thenational.ae/business/economy/south-africa-is-in-a-mess-and-little-hope-remains-1.671786\">South Africa is in a Mess and Little Hope Remains</a> &mdash; ...the South African economy is in a mess and diving deeper by the day.
