Scott Ott executes a bold act of copyright infringement, coopting Stephen Green’s Lightning Round with his own — super different and uniquely distinct — Thunder Round. Topics this time include…
- Virginia family gets keys to Habitat for Humanity’s first 3-D printed home. Should we jettison decades of traditional home-building methods?
- Hispanic voters in Reading, Pennsylvania, shift toward the Republican Party, and neither the GOP nor the Democrats understand why.
- John Kenneth White, at TheHill.com, says “The Constitution Isn’t Working”. Is he right?
- President Biden starts a COVID-19 conference call with state governors by saying: “There is no federal solution. This gets solved at the state level.” Are we Constitutional conservatives dreaming?

16 &17th delende est!
I think I would wait about 10 years before I would want to move into a 3D-printed house. I’d like to see how it’s holding up before I commit. I learned a long time ago as a technologist to never buy an expensive piece of equipment with a very low serial number; they probably don’t have all of the bugs worked out yet.
Well Done Scott! and Steve and Zoe 🙂 Great discussion.
I’m no more afraid of a Constitutional Convention than I am of Washington DC. The difference is that I have 70 years of watching Washington tyrants/grifters/traitors screw it up. I think the People who attend the Const. Convention will do a better job. And if they screw it up, call another Convention. If we don’t learn from our mistakes And try to correct them, then we should not be surprized if the same shit keeps happening again and again and again.
Biden thinks something is a matter for the States to solve? He’s lying!
… or the puppeteer’s hand slipped.
Joe Biden is a consulate politician who knows nothing of truth, and his mind is now too gone to know much about reality.
The country has reaped its election harvest, and now it must eat it’s gruel for the next three years. Meanwhile, we must prepare for the replacement of the tyrants in the Executive and Legislative branches with bottom-up efforts.
I saw that admission of truth as an attempt to avoid responsibility. He tried to claim on the campaign he had a solution, his opponent in office had none, and he should be elected because he would solve the problem.
Come to find out he doesn’t have any idea, cannot fix it and wants to blame someone else for his failure to do what he promised and what we (or some subset of “we”) wanted him to do. “It isn’t my fault! It wasn’t my job!”
He also wasn’t elected– he was installed. I’m not saying Biden stole the election, but the vote counters did, and the swamp enabled it.
A constitutional convention scares me. I see almost no one on the national stage with the education and experience of the Founders. We have instead a Congress largely filled with grifters and bloviators; the prospect of living with a constitution they might come up with is terrifying.
That’s certainly a consideration but …
If you look at a Red vs. Blue map of the United States it’s almost all Red except for some highly concentrated population areas that vote solidly Blue.
In a Constitutional Convention each state gets ONE vote. Regardless of population. It’s sort of a Constitutional Electoral College on steroids.
I’m not saying a Constitutional Convention is a good thing or not. What I’m pointing out is that it might be the only way to stem the tide of Leftist Cultural Marxism set into law being thrust upon us all by those high population concentrations which are solid Blue.
A Constitutional Convention is probably best held for a desperate, last ditch effort but …
The Left has found ways to ignore the Constitution we already have, there’s no reason to think they won’t do the same with an amended Constitution no matter what mechanism is used to amend it.
All of that said, a Constitutional Convention that went in our favor, and I think it would, would put an end to the delusion perpetrated by the Left that they’re a large demographic majority. That would go a long way towards putting some perspective on their actual numbers and negate the “loud but persistent” effect of social media and the Left’s exploitation of the internet.
My only problem with a Convention is whether we have enough Sane electors vs RINO ones. The Uniparty could further its own power by sending DC establishment types and not enough Cruzes, Trumps, or solid heartland types.
The “Convention till you get it” idea of Brooks Martin might work, though that depends on the willingness of people to not put up “good enough” homework and actually demand the A.
Agree on all points. That’s why I think a Constitutional Convention is a last resort move. Like drawing a gun, it should only be used in gravest extreme. If we do that, we need to use our First String players.
That’s not to say we won’t face that gravest extreme sometime in the future. I have no problem with doing what needs to be done. I just don’t agree with pulling a big gun like that unless we’re going to use it to decisive effect.
That might be one way we could take our country back legally and without bloodshed but …
As I said before, the Left doesn’t seem to have much use for laws they don’t like these days.
We can call a Convention only AFTER we have rid ourselves of the Uniparty and replaced the Republican Party leadership at the state level, both in Party positions and in elected positions with 1000 MTGs and gotten rid of all the Raffenspergers and even the Abbots. This process is underway, much of it via the Precinct Strategy, and we’ll get it done.
Yup, we need to get rid of all the RiNOs first.
Fortunately that’s a self driving mechanism. As Leftists and their RiNO buddies drag the nation ever downward, the promises of the Left continue to manifest as hollow and detrimental. When people are adversely affected by those policies as a natural result, they stop worrying about virtue signalling and start worrying about the cost of groceries. Then they vote in real Conservatives to save them.
The trick is going to be, if we’re going to hold a Constitutional Convention, to catch that trend at its peak. Before Conservatives make life good enough again that the Social Marxists start persuading the weak minded to vote them back in again.
Mark Levin has a book called the liberty amendments that specifically tackles what should be added during a states convention.
So a year later he essentially admits that the Trump administration was handling it correctly.
Scott is probably correct that the GOP will foul up the movement by “hispanic” community. First, by also treating them as a monolith.
There needs to be a feet on the ground discussion with the people in Reading (and elsewhere) through their churches and community centers to discuss common themes like personal responsibility, keeping what you earn, upward mobility, job skills, and the difference between preventing pregnancy and terminating one.
As Bill has said for years, we don’t message well.
Check out Latinos for Trump. They are turning the Rio Grande Valley, as well as other parts of Texas, from blue to red.
“There’s no political solution”? Good to see Sundown Joe* taking the advice of an old law enforcement official:

Revisit and revise Wickard v. Filburn and get it correct.
Pretty much everything else will then be correctable.
Yes!!!
Also, of course, repeal all of the so-called Progressive Amendments.
