Political Pistachio Radio

In an increasingly liberal landscape, "Political Pistachio Radio" is your source for Conservative thoughts and opinions regarding the political issues of the day. Douglas V. Gibbs, the show's host and the founder of the politicalpistachio.com blog, fights for the Right each and every Saturday at 7 p.m. EST, inspiring a loyal following with his own brand of grassroots Conservatism.

Recent "Political Pistachio" broadcasts have run the gamut, covering a myriad of interesting topics. Lee Culpepper, a former Marine turned teacher, stopped by to discuss American public schools and childhood education. Cary Carter, a hard-working everyman who just happens to be running for President of the United States as a write-in candidate, even paid a visit to talk about the progress of his 2008 campaign. Bob Anderson, the founder of "What Are We Fighting For?" informed everyone about his group's belief that every American citizen should earn and fight for his or her continued freedoms.

"Political Pistachio Radio" has also become known for interviewing authors. Cancer survivor Rob Ballister recently appeared to talk about his inspirational work "God Does Have a Sense of Humor." Writer Gary W. Moore and publisher Ted Savas took time out to discuss their book, "Playing with the Enemy." Lastly, Jeff Edwards, a retired Naval Anti-Submarine Warfare Specialist and Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm Veteran, stopped in to regale listeners with the tale of his thrilling new novel, "Torpedo."

In these troubled times, count on "Political Pistachios Radio" to make sense of the nutty political world.

The Bearing Drift

In nautical terms, a bearing drift describes the location of an approaching object in relation to the ship. Once the ship's bearing, or direction, is determined, the object in question is observed to detect any drift to the left or right. If there is no drift, the two will collide unless the appropriate action is taken. In most cases, this means the ship must bear to the right.

The "Bearing Drift" believes a similar course of action would benefit the United States, with a political move to the right solving most of the country's problems. The weekly half-hour broadcast, which airs every Sunday at 7PM EST, will deliver the best information, opinion, and news from the Virginia political scene.

Host Jim Hoeft, the administrator of the bearingdrift.com blog, is a proud member of the Republican party and a veteran of numerous political campaigns in Hampton Roads, Virginia. He's also served on the Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Chesapeake as well as the Central Committee of the Republican Party of Virginia.

The show has given attention to the Virginia primary debates, covering Tricia Stall versus Sen. Marty Williams in the 1st Senate District and Carolyn Weems versus Chris Stolle for the 83rd House of Delegates in Virginia Beach. Jim has also landed interviews with other influential newsmakers like former U.S. Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, Attorney General Bob McDonnell, Senator George Allen, and Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling.

If it's happening in Virginia politics, you'll hear it on "Bearing Drift."

The Front Line

While mainstream media may tend to forget or simply ignore the topic altogether, there's actually a war going on, and its battle lines aren't merely in Iraq. The United States is waging a war against terrorism and Islamic fundamentalism all across the globe, defending liberty and freedom wherever it may lead and no matter the cost. It's a fight for civilization itself.

Kit Jarrell hasn't forgotten, and she highlights the efforts of America's brave fighting men and women each and every week on "The Front Line," a radio show dedicated to the U.S. military and its supporters.

An Air Force veteran, Jarrell continues to proudly serve her country in civilian life, giving voice to the patriotic soldiers who routinely risk their lives for their country. She also uses her show as a platform to address the major issues of the day, including illegal immigration, national security, the war on terrorism, and the rights and welfare of American soldiers. Each hour-long broadcast attempts to proclaim the extraordinary achievements of the U.S. army, navy, air force, and marines, giving them the respect they so richly deserve, yet so seldom receive.

When not hosting "The Front Line," Jarrell owns and operates "Euphoric Reality," one of the premier military blogs in the country, and she also serves as the senior webmaster for "A Gathering of Eagles," a joint venture amongst U.S. veterans to protect the interests of America and its armed forces.

"The Front Line" airs every Wednesday and Friday at 10 p.m. EST.
