Issues Under Fire
Amplifying the Whispers
ABOUT THIS PODCAST
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.

Issues Under Fire: Last Stop: America The Fearful
Lee Bines
Apologies all around for closing out 2015 early, but after reviewing this year’s postings and podcast, America’s most critical issues have already been addressed. And from this observer’s perspective, the simplest solution to most of those critical issues is America overcoming its fears. If the United States would simply grow a pair, Americans could stop being afraid all the time. Americans seem to be afraid of almost everyone. Americans are even afraid of themselves.
14 Dec, 2015Issues Under Fire: What Do Muslims Know and How Long Have They Known It?
Lee Bines
Now that the Black Lives Matter issue has gained enough attention to make a cop think twice before pulling the trigger, we should use this opportunity to take a look at the next demographic that's found itself in America's crosshairs. The American Muslim.
11 Dec, 2015Issues Under Fire: Donald Trump: The Muslims Are Coming, The Muslims Are Coming
Lee Bines
Imagine sitting at a bus stop, standing on a train platform or walking down the street when someone starts shooting or stabbing people randomly. What would you think? Imagine sitting in traffic waiting for the signal to proceed when some maniac starts ramming his car into others and mowing pedestrians down with no regard for human life. What would you say? Imagine if the rumors of an Islamic Plague were true, what would you do?For those who imagine such scenarios , Donald J. Trump has a plan to save America from being overrun by Muslim Zombies. Donald Trump has personally seen people of the Muslim faith change overnight from peace loving hardworking family oriented Americans, into blood craving lunatics, hellbent on killing infidels. Donald Trump has captured and trapped infected Muslims in the basement of one of his many mansions. They’re being held for observation. According to Donald Trump, there are no signs, symptoms or warnings. And at this time, there is no cure.
10 Dec, 2015Issues Under Fire: Understanding How ISIS/ISIL Gets in Your Head
Lee Bines
As President Obama continues to promote and prosecute his strategy against ISIS/ISIL in Syria Iraq and beyond with air strikes, intelligence gathering, special operations, regional coalition building and beefing up homeland defenses against internal threats, more needs to be done to assist in undermining ISIS/ISIL as a threat. While the president will eventually realize marginal results from bombing oil fields, disrupting supply chains and thus choking off economic resources, his strategy won't choke off ISIS/ISIL's human resources.
09 Dec, 2015Issues Under Fire: Loretta Lynch Rahm Emanuel Anita Alverez and the Artful Dodge
Lee Bines
Loretta Lynch's announcement of the Justice Department's planned investigation into pattern and practices of the Chicago police was so meticulously articulated and so narrowly focused its difficult to envision the people of Chicago ever seeing their civil rights respected, let alone protected. By the time the U.S. Attorney General had finished her longwinded self-serving presentation of the DOJ's intent to intervene, this observer was struck by how little that intervention would actually accomplish. The entire presentation was no more than an artful dodge.
