Truth, justice, and the rule of law are pillars of a well-functioning democracy. The absence or warping of any of these pillars has an observable effect on our society. That is not "politics". That is reality. This is episode 239 of COMIN' HOME WITH JOHN ALAN. * MY AUDIOBOOK SUBSCRIPTION IS NOW AVAILABLE!

I partly describe Karyn Seroussi as an inspirational Serial Entrepreneur and Star Trek Geek. Karyn and I discuss ADHD, Norwegian culture, hula hoops, and Karyn's passion for sharing new ideas. In her own words, Karyn Seroussi is profoundly grateful for living in a safe and stable country, for having "the best type of epilepsy," and for learning to accept (and be accepted for) her ADHD. She has used her dislike of exercise to start a fitness company. Karyn's unfailing optimism leads her to believe that a Star Trek geek like her from New York can make herself at home in Norway. Her media and communications education led her to embark on her next project: A new documentary slated to begin filming this autumn.

There are a lot of people who need help with making it through life, and there are differing views on how to best take care of people who are in need. My guest on this episode of COMIN' HOME COMMENTARY is Hans Jakob Winses. He believes, in part, that people should be identified as "groups" but rather as individuals. As usual, I push back and challenge his views. * MY AUDIOBOOK SUBSCRIPTION IS NOW AVAILABLE!

The Christian (political) Right is growing... or is it? Regardless, those who have a biblical worldview are becoming more vocal with statements that American society would benefit if the lines between Church and State were more blurred than they traditionally have been.

Vincent Baugh is the Vice Chair of Republicans Abroad Norway. In this discussion, we talk, disagree, disagree, and laugh as we display dialogue across opposing views on political and social issues.

Activist Ryan Dowling lost his life to Ryan Carson in New York City, and the political right jumped in with obvious political hypocrisy to use this tragedy to forward their false narrative about crime statistics in New York City. At that time, murd*r rate in NYC was down 11% from last year, and overall crime was down 5%. Facts and statistics show that the 25 "Red States" that voted for Donald Trump in the last Presidential Election have higher crime rates than the 25 "Blue States" that voted for President Joe Biden. * MY AUDIOBOOK SUBSCRIPTION IS NOW AVAILABLE!
