Tireside Chat Vol. 7: Livestream with Constitutional Stacker!

America the Battlefield
by Timothy A. Pope

April 24, 2025



In today’s Tireside Chat, I’m informing my subscribers that I had an awesome livestream with my buddy, Constitutional Stacker on YouTube!

Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/live/FGJ-vKOIEwo?si=H6kDTmgnJh4Cv335

He and I discussed economics and the market forces that are driving the spot prices of precious metals through the roof. 📈

We also talked about politics, conspiracies, the Covid madness, the military-industrial complex, history, Constitutional money, the Coinage Act of 1792, prepping, growing and raising food, the Second Amendment, living a more self-sufficient lifestyle, getting out of the fiat system, and putting your hard-earned money into hard assets backed by intrinsic value as a hedge against rampant inflation.

Join us for another livestream soon, where we will be bringing on other guests to have a dialogue about these and related topics!

The Tariff Two-Step: A Dialogue on Roads, Revenue, and Reckless Spending in Oregon

America the Battlefield

by Timothy A. Pope
April 8, 2025



In today's episode of America the Battlefield, Tim sits down with Ben Roche over coffee, the former Chair of the Linn County Republican Party, stepping through the back-and-forth dance of state policy missteps and budget band-aids. One starts with a jab: "You see ODOT wants more taxes again? Gas, mileage, tolls—you name it.” The other counters, “And yet, they can’t keep the roads paved. Where's all that money going?”

They “two-step” through topics: the Oregon Transportation Package in 2017 which promised smoother roads but now shows signs of crumbling promises. They challenge vehicle fees and how gas taxes hurt the working-class, and discuss the tolling schemes that feel more like revenue traps than traffic solutions.

As Tim and Ben waltz into the deeper details, they dig into the Oregon Department of Transportation’s financial mismanagement—like the BILLIONS in debt and nearly $30 billion in upcoming project costs. 

“It’s like they’ve choreographed a budget ballet where the taxpayers always foot the bill for the encore.”

By the end of their chat, the theme is clear: Oregon’s transportation policy has become a careful dance of shifting costs and dodging accountability—a real Tariff Two-Step where they try to pass the buck to Trump, while Oregon Governor Tina Kotek and the ODOT keeps changing the rhythm, and the public keeps getting stepped-on.

This might be the single best explanation of Trump’s tariff policies I’ve seen and it was from a former Democrat on Piers Morgan: https://x.com/DC_Draino/status/1907606593509769654
