Donald Trump has signaled some very interesting ideas as to how he'd protect the homeland from foreign and domestic threats. Some of his ideas are so interesting, they had to be examined immediately. By next week, his campaign operatives will have scrubbed his statements from the public record. If elected, Trump stated he wouldn't rule out establishing a database for the purpose of keeping track of Muslims in America. As astounding as that might sound, he was quite serious about the proposal. While electronic ankle monitors or digital tracking implants weren't mentioned, one could envision that type of technology being employed in a Trump administration's war against terror. Americans might feel safe in Trump world , but you could hardly call this space north of Mexico and south of Canada the United States of America anymore. Donald Trump may be an asshole with clownish hair, but he's also a very dangerous man.

Issues Under Fire: The American Race War Nobody Wants to Talk About

The mission of “Issues Under Fire” is to instigate and invigorate the social discourse of the hottest topics facing the nation and beyond. This Independent teaching/learning talk program consistently surprises, stimulates and challenges listeners and viewers by providing radical observations and reasoning designed to reshape and sharpen debates.

Podcasting Monday through Friday, we provide alternative analysis of some of the most complex issues confronting the world. Understandably, what we cover can be rather stale in the hands of yesterday’s approach to informing the global public, so we spice things up a bit to inspire a smile and incite a laugh while inducing deeper thought and consideration.

Your host, Lee Bines is our resident political pundit providing opinion and analysis on specific subject areas (most typically U.S. domestic politics, U.S. foreign policy and current geopolitical issues as they relate to the United States). A satirist and political provocateur, Lee has developed and blended a unique mix of entertainment and social activism through thought provoking conversation.

Managing to push the envelope to the very edge of social acceptability without crossing the line of good taste is a difficult task in today’s media, but Lee and “Issues Under Fire” have mastered that challenge.
