About this listen

This is Janis Kristiansen, news junkie, and fan of politics, government, & American history. In this podcast I will be discussing the tangled angles of conservative American values given to us by the Constitution, while using facts and keeping it classy.*Why a podcast? My husband served in the WA State House of Representatives for 16 years, and during that time I had a front row seat to state government and American politics. So come listen in to my insider's view of what I saw and what I learned in government and politics, from a woman who is old enough to have something to say and young enough to still want to.© 2024 Tangled Angle Political Science Politics & Government World

  • Why does Bill Gates Want To Get Rid of Beef? Here's Why Beef is Good for America.
    Mar 18 2023

    Send us a Text Message.

    The beef industry is good for America, both for the economy and our health. Why does Bill Gates and other billionaires who have always lived in the city in the heart of urban environments want to destroy the beef industry?

    They dine in find urban restaurants, order beef on the menu in expensive and exquisite restaurants, and sip wine in luxury, so why are they so bent on the rest of us not eating beef?

    Who doesn't love a good hamburger once in a while or a really good steak on the grill? Why do they want to destroy the beef industry and try and get all of us to not eat beef? As the popular ad says: "Beef! It’s what’s for dinner”

    Cattle have wandered on the North American continent since the 1400's. Here I trace their footsteps, and describe the foundational, sustainable, vital industry we have here in America because of cattle.

    *This is a repeat of a podcast that first aired in April 2022.

  • Right vs. Left? Or, Sane vs. Crazy?
    Mar 2 2023

    Send us a Text Message.

    What happened to the argument of Right vs. Left? Or Democrat vs. Republican?
    We're now into sane vs. crazy.

    Government is impersonal and does not have a brain nor a soul. In fact, it has no heart.

    Government will not help without strings attached. Want that free money to show up in a bank account without working, and they call it unemployment help? Okay, they will give that out, but in exchange for that, the following year we will get inflation, food shortages, businesses reducing their hours or closing, lack of supply, lack of a work ethic amongst the young and able bodied, and millions of the younger generation with way too much free time.

    Idle time, the result of paying people to stay home and not have a purpose for each day, and lacking the benefit from the respect and self worth that doing a good job brings, results in mischief, mayhem, and troublemaking that the rest of us have to endure.

    When people help one another, person to person, in the exchange there are all sorts benefits: empathy, compassion, assistance, aid. Sometimes there is also instruction, correction, idea sharing, and a job offered, or job help offered, or hearing the words "job well done".

    When government tries to help people, the outcome is always worse than the problem; the solution is more painful than the problem.

    The right, or those who are sane, or what the mainstream media likes to call the far right extremists, are simply people who want:

    * the ability to own firearms to protect ourselves and our families, and should it come to it, to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government that wants to see us in indentured servitude to the few elites.
    * to be able to present our grievances to the government, without fear of retribution or fear of punishment . Those to who present their grievances to government and are punished for it do not live in a democracy or in a constitutional republic. They live in a socialist Marxist state.
    * the ability to practice our religion as we see fit
    * the freedom of the press
    *the freedom to peaceably assemble
    *the right not to be over-taxed

    These kinds of people are now called extremists.

    The left can't tell us what a woman is, want to teach our kids CRT in school, which is just another name for socialist Marxism, teaching kids to judge each other on the basis of skin color, and teaches us teaches kids to hate one another instead of respecting each other.

    Our country, led by the mainstream media and big tech, has been hijacked by the radical left and they're doubling down on crazy. Violent criminals that burned our cities in the summer of 2020 are protected while victims are punished and incarcerated. They want the police defunded and the border wide open. It’s backwards... it's crazy.

    We no longer have a country of Right vs. Left. It's sane vs. crazy.

    Here in this podcast I discuss what we can do to bring America back from the brink, and restore sanity to our beloved nation.

  • The Freedom to Assemble: We Must Gather.
    Feb 23 2023

    Send us a Text Message.

    The Freedom to Assemble: We Must Gather. Yes, Meet With Others, Plan, Party, and Pray. Go To The Sporting Event. Go To Church. Get Out of Your “Safe Space”, and Meet With Others.

    We must gather together to protect and uphold our very civilization, and all that it means to be human. These last almost 3 years since our horrible governments reaction to covid, since March of 2020 when the governor of WA state forced the closure of the bars and restaurants, but left pot shops, liquor stores, and strip clubs open, we have lost the simple yet profound practice of getting together, at sporting events, restaurants, homes, churches and working with our colleagues in person. There is something lost when we are not together, and something profound happens when we are.

    We must overcome the fear, habit, or maybe it’s just laziness of not getting together.

    We need to gather together because this is one of the hallmarks of freedom.

    This year is the first year in 3 years that the WA state legislature is meeting in person. They shut down in 2020, closed the doors of the capital building, and took the lockdown experiment to extreme levels, even going so far as to building a fence around the capital. I know they did this at the federal level also, building a fence around the peoples house.

    And what was lost at the state level for doing this? Personal contact, private conversations, who knows what “zoom” knows when we have these on line meetings? Our privacy was robbed from us, as we were "required" to lockdown and hibernate from one another.

    On line interaction takes away empathy, feeling, the ability to communicate more effectively with the non-verbal cues, and reduces the humanity from the interaction. It gives those in authority who do not want to listen to an opinion the ability to drop the line, cut off the connection, or make the Internet reception run a foul.

    Talking in person with someone is so much more that the verbal words that are spoken, it’s the facial expressions, tone of voice, and just observing the essence and the humanity of the person that we are interacting with.

    Electronic communication, social media, and on line communication take away our humanity and reduce us to robotic machines, and it’s much harder to insult someone face to face than to post a mean or rude comment on a social media platform.

    Meeting in person soothes the interactions, and removes some of the potential for misunderstandings and the temptation to be rude, mean, or hateful.

    Gathering to gather is a sign of freedom, liberty, free thinking, and mental health. Isolated people get weird and odd ideas that are not based in reality.

    Gathering to gather gives life meaning clarity, and joy.

    Community and living life with others in person are what holds us together, keeps us sane, and helps us to lighten up and find some joy and laughter in the midst of life.

    Joy, embracing, holding each other up, laughing together, eating together, praying together, fellowshipping with those who have common interests with us are what makes us so free in our Western culture.

    These things on the surface seem so simple and so basic, but that is exactly why they are so powerful.

    This is where the power of people comes from, the ability to gather, to peaceably assemble.

    We must not forsake the gathering together, as some have made a habit of doing.

    The freedom of assembly is literally what holds us together.
