Oh No, No, No…We Can’t Be Doing This
28/01/2025 Duration: 41minIn 1975, Ronald Reagan famously remarked, “The problem with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t true.” The truth of that statement couldn’t be more apparent than it is today.The advent of social media and interactive internet platforms has validated Reagan’s statement and proved that this truth is even more prevalent than we suspected.At every turn—on any given day and on any given subject, erroneously advanced inaccuracies and untruths can be found because someone “liked,” forwarded, and/or posted a meme, statement, or opinion on something without actually taking the time to validate the meme or statement or read the provided content.This intellectual cancer isn’t just an attribute of “our liberal friends.” It exists just as prevalently on the ideological Right, and instances of this are getting more frequent.Recently, I had an old acquaintance from high school—by all accounts, a solid guy; thoughtful and an engaged member of the community, completel

This Is Why There Is Divide In Our Republic
24/01/2025 Duration: 38minMost of the nation—and the free world—is breathing a sigh of relief at the exit of Joe Biden and Obama 2.0 from power. We see this as the beginning of the end of neo-Marxist wokeism. But while we celebrate the probable return to constitutionality and the downsizing of our federal government, some well-funded far-Left disruptors see an opportunity to create chaos.A small group that played a role in the effort to disqualify Donald Trump from ballots before the 2024 General Election is already propagandizing for impeachment proceedings against the 47th president. The Free Speech for People nonprofit organization is spearheading the call for impeachment, insisting:“Trump has refused to sell his ownership stake in companies through which he is assured to receive substantial payments from foreign governments in violation of the Foreign Emoluments Clause. At least five foreign governments pay a combined $2 million per month in fees for their units in Trump World Tower; and because all five of these foreign governmen

Pre-Emptive Pardons: A Question Of Constitutionality
21/01/2025 Duration: 21minIn his final hours as President of the United States, Joe Biden issued a series of preemptive pardons for Anthony Fauci, Mark Milley, the members of the January 6th Committee, and his extended family. This action was one of the most disgusting uses of presidential power to grant reprieves and pardons in the history of our Republic. And the action’s constitutionality should be questioned. In Article II, Section 2 of the US Constitution, the president is vested with the power to “grant reprieves and pardons” through these words:“The President shall…have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.”The keywords here are “for offenses against the United States,” which infers a criminal conviction in federal court. In fact, the US Supreme Court has already ruled on that. If you accept a pardon, there is an inference of guilt. Therefore, the question that begs to be asked is valid: Are pre-emptive presidential pardons constitutional?Biden, in the early

Liberation Day Is Here…Now Our Work Begins
20/01/2025 Duration: 38minIt’s finally here, Liberation Day; liberation from the caustic, divisive, neo-Marxist Biden administration, liberation from the underhanded, shadowy Obama 2.0 neo-Bolsheviks, liberation from the heavy hand of our globalist oppressors, liberation from wokeism.But just like in any successful “revolution”—and frankly, that is what we have achieved, a revolution in restoring governmental leadership that thinks the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights don’t suck—just in any revolution, We the People have to see it through, which means keeping the pressure on.I’ve said this before, and I will say it many more times as we move forward. It’s an Alinsky rule, Rule. No. 8.Alinsky understood that creating constant tension and conflict was the key to transitioning power. This rule—“keeping the pressure on”— was and remains crucial to the far-Left's agenda because it focuses on wearing down their opposition through relentless pressure. They understand that if they can keep the pressure applied, they can exhaust and divi

On Grifter Joe’s Parting Words…
17/01/2025 Duration: 43minWell, Joe Biden said his official goodbye to the nation—allegedly—in his farewell speech to the nation, which most people decided not to watch. The fact is this. Biden has been beyond a lame-duck president since the Obama machine shelved him as the Democrat candidate.But his farewell address had some things worthy of being addressed, even if for their obvious hypocrisy and the telegraphing of his and his administration’s misdeeds.I have edited his speech down to a few points and hurried his speech along, so if you are someone who thought Biden was a good president, no, I’m not taking him out of context. So, feel free to go about your day in your bizarre pseudo-utopian bubble.In this first clip, Biden discusses the importance of treating everyone with dignity, justice, and fairness.Without time enough to blink, the question erupted: So, what happened to Donald Trump’s right to be treated with dignity, justice, and fairness? He was denied each for his tenure and Biden’s term. He was called Hitler; they mocked h

Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire…And Now There’s FIRE
13/01/2025 Duration: 43minThe aware understand that free speech is required for freedom to reign. Our Framers understood it well, and that’s why it is enshrined in the First Amendment to the US Constitution in the Bill of Rights. But how does a free society protect free speech from nefarious charlatans who abuse that right for personal and ideological gain?Such is the question we face today when we examine the partisan politics that have metastasized like cancer throughout the mainstream media complex and, to drill down into one aspect of that niche, the pollsters.In an era of high political polarization, trust in polls has waned, particularly among certain voter groups. This distrust manifests in lower response rates and sometimes (and this is growing) dishonest responses, further skewing poll results. There has also been a trend where polls “herd” their respondents towards an expected result to avoid being an outlier, which can lead to a uniform but inaccurate picture.The American Association of Public Opinion Research published a w

Who Couldn’t Know This Was Coming?
10/01/2025 Duration: 33minThis terrible, tragic story about what is happening in Southern California isn’t about wildfires or climate change, no matter how badly the elected class in California tries to spin it as such. Wildfires have been a part of everyday life since Los Angeles was created. And climate change didn’t cause the explosion in the size of this wildfire. But blame for the utter devastation has a home.Woke-brained ideologues and eco-zealous activists who have captured California government—at every level—have instituted reckless and dangerous utopian ideas and unrealistic and imbecilic initiatives, which have made this tragedy 100 times more dangerous and deadly than it had to be.Wildfires in California are nothing new. No one should have been surprised about a wildfire in Southern California. No one should have been caught unprepared for the annual arrival of the Santa Anna winds. What is happening in California right now was bound to happen sooner or later. However, the inability of California’s state and local governme

This Is Why We Must Keep The Pressure On
06/01/2025 Duration: 35minThe conservative block recently celebrated the paring down of the 1500-page Continuing Resolution that kept the government open. Part of that celebration centered on the defunding of the Global Engagement Center (GEC), which the learned pointed out was an integral cog in the Deep State anti-First Amendment censorship apparatus. However, the reports of the Center’s death have been greatly exaggerated.The so-called "Global Engagement Center" sounds about as threatening as a high school debate club. But in the wise words of Vivek Ramaswamy, it was actually a linchpin in what we might call the "censorship industrial complex." Its mission? Supposedly to combat "foreign state and non-state propaganda and disinformation efforts aimed at undermining or influencing the policies, security, or stability of the United States, its allies, and partner nations." Foreign, they emphasized, because: a) apparently, the truth is only offensive when it comes from outside our borders, and b) political censorship is forbidden in th

Lame-Duck Fear-Porn…It’s Everywhere!
03/01/2025 Duration: 32minIt might just be possible that you are as tired of hearing this bullshit as I am. Almost daily, it seems, we see items in the news that declare outgoing lame-duck president Joe Biden is enacting this order of that initiative to hobble the agenda of the incoming Trump 2.0 administration.Evidently, one of two things is happening here. One, the mainstream media narrative crafters never showed up to or were always stoned for civics classes. Or two, the neo-Bolshevik spinners of the Clinton-Obama-Biden regime are working overtime to make the public believe something that simply isn’t true.Where presidential executive orders are concerned, a lame-duck president cannot enact executive orders that are inherently irreversible by an incoming president.Executive orders, directives from the POTUS, are legally binding but can be revoked, modified, or replaced by subsequent executive orders from a new president. This is because executive power resides in the office of the President, not in an individual president after the

Is It Stupidity, Arrogance, Or Partisanship?
29/12/2024 Duration: 11minThe questions beg to be asked. Are our political and academic classes that fatuous and dense? Or are they so jaded in their partisanship that they are willing to commit an actual insurrection against the American people because of their political power greed?Such is the question that we are presented with in scrutinizing an opinion editorial in The Hill (and, by the way, if you are under the delusion that publication is fair and balanced or conservative, you’re smoking something Hunter Biden would share) by two established far-Left operatives, Evan Davis and David Schulte.Davis, a former editor-in-chief of the Columbia Law Review and counsel to New York Governor Mario Cuomo (D), and Schulte, an investment banker and former editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal—and good friend and financial supporter of Barack Obama, are ignorantly parroting the nonsense promoted by US Rep. Jeremey Raskin (D-MD), that somehow, Donald Trump is ineligible to hold the presidency because of Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment,

Trump: Crazy Like A Grinchy Fox
26/12/2024 Duration: 09minThe heads of far-Left and usual suspect media outlets are exploding all over the world at Donald Trump’s recent statements about Canada and Greenland, and maybe a bit less so about the Panama Canal. But those who are so alarmed fail to understand the “art of the deal” type of thinking being employed here.Recently, Trump extended his holiday wishes to “Governor” Justin Trudeau of Canada. Of course, Trudeau is the prime minister of Canada.In his holiday message, Trump pointed out that Canadian citizen's taxes are far too high. In mentioning that fact, he playfully said, “but if Canada were to become our 51st State, their taxes would be cut by more than 60%, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other country anywhere in the world.”In a separate statement, he went on to say that he had just met with hockey legend Wayne Gretzky and suggested that he run for prime minister of Canada, alluding to Gretzky in saying he would soon be “the Governor of Canada.”

We Can Help To Achieve The Brotherhood Of Man
23/12/2024 Duration: 36minChristmas is here, and I thought I would take a different tack, away from the overt politics of the day, and talk a bit about what I speak of at the end of each podcast.Everyone recognizes the spirit of Christmas when the season approaches. Sadly, a lot of that spirit centers on material things because the profiteers and marketers never miss an opportunity to exploit our consumer society to their benefit. I’m not saying they’re bad people for it, but it would be nice if it weren’t “so slam it in your face” and “jam it down your throat” 24/7/365.No, the Christmas spirit I am talking about is the “peace on earth, goodwill toward men” spirit. The spirit of brotherhood—and sisterhood, I don’t like to play those woke word games, so you know what I mean. If you’re offended by that sort of thing, well, I don’t think you listen regularly anyway.At the end of each podcast, I always ask people to talk about politics, religion, and current events with their family, friends, and colleagues. My point in doing so is that w

At Least Roaches Run From The Light…I Can’t Say As Much For The Uniparty
21/12/2024 Duration: 37minAs we approach the start date for Trump 2.0, it appears some of the more partisan Deep State, uniparty Democrats—and their RINO compatriots—are starting to regain their confidence after the election slap down they received from the American people, not Donald Trump, although he was on the ballot and was the vehicle. The slap down came from the American people, the voters.Some are desperately trying to ignore the mandate for change the American people voted for in November, but then, we can’t expect the grifters of the inside-the-beltway bureaucracy to change just because the people demand it. That would be like having representative government. I mean, really!No, they will have to be expunged from Washington either through the electoral process—which, given the lack of critical thinking skills among the progressive electorate, is nothing more than a pipe dream—or by the process of that age group dying off of organic, granola-like natural causes, of course. One of those two things will have to happen before we

Perhaps These Aren’t The Drones We’re Looking For
17/12/2024 Duration: 35minWhile social media and the information sphere buzz about the drones inundating the coastline approximate to New Jersey and New York, I can’t help but wonder if we are being blind to the real problem here.With credible reports coming out of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that radioactive material was lost in transit earlier this month from a cargo ship headed into New Jersey, the simple explanation that the NRC and/or US military is searching for that material becomes probable.Also credible, but further down the list, comes the truth that 80 nuclear warheads that existed in Ukraine during the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1980s are unaccounted for.According to John Ferguson, CEO of Saxon Aerospace LLC and an expert in unmanned aerial systems—as reported in GatewayPundit.com:“Back in the 1980s, Ronald Reagan had dismantled the nuclear program with Russia. There were countless nuclear missiles that were disarmed and disposed of. Well, there were over 80, I believe, over 80 nuclear warheads that were in

The Fake Medical Expertise of ‘Mitch The Sino-Bitch’
15/12/2024 Duration: 34minSo, how much of a complete asshole is Mitch McConnell? Well, I can argue that he is an emotion-exploiting, Deep State, K Street whore of a magnanimous proportion. Put succinctly, he’s quite an asshole.Anyone who listens regularly understands how much I loathe McConnell; a demonstrated Republican In Name Only who clings to his lust for power and control like Charleton Heston clung to his Second Amendment rights.McConnell, the titular head of the Deep State Republican “Gang of Six”—comprised of himself and US Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, John Curtis, Lindsey Graham, and John Thune, recently took a shot at Trump Health & Human Services nominee, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., on the issue of vaccines and the vaccine approval process.Kennedy, many would argue, is a bit more informed on the issue of vaccines than Mitch, “the Sino-Bitch,” who, with regard to the COVID vaccines—now proven to be choke-full of side effects and absent the promise of immunity—infamously stated:"I can say as a Republican man, as s

There Is No Defense For What They Do
09/12/2024 Duration: 45minIn a world where we have been duped into believing that everyone’s individual truth must be accepted and embraced, even at the expense of facts and reality, I suppose the statement “there is no defense for what they do,” could apply to many people, entities, and organizations. But as the virtue-signaling globalist Left in the United States continues to turn a blind eye to the lethal dangers streaming by the tens of thousands over our open borders each month, it’s time to over-state the blatantly obvious.There is no defense, no rationale, no excuse for the US federal government–as well as the many state, county, and local governments–to do absolutely nothing to thwart and, in fact, facilitate, in many cases, the entry into our Republic of criminal gangs from Venezuela, El Salvador, and Mexico. With every passing day, they embed themselves into our country like roaches in a tenement building.This is not about extending a benevolent hand to Third World downtrodden in an effort to help them live better. This is a

The Tragedy Is That It’s Come To This
06/12/2024 Duration: 41minFirst, let me state this for the record so no one can try to manipulate my words. The murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is nothing short of an act of murder. I condemn the act and hope the perpetrator is apprehended and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, left to the justice meted out by a jury of his peers.I also extend my sincere condolences to Mr. Thompson’s family and close friends.That said, it would be wise to examine the possible motives that spurred the shooter to engage in murder, in the taking of another human being’s life.The security camera footage of the shooting is chilling, even in a world where violence is over-glorified in the entertainment industries. The shooter, calculated and cold in his simplicity, stalked Thompson and very simply pulled the trigger…three times.VIEW VIDEO HERE Investigators have discovered that etched onto the bullet casings found at the murder scene were the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose.” These words are eerily similar to the title of the boo

Oh, Little Dickie…(Pun Intended)
02/12/2024 Duration: 37minIt never, ever fails, ever. Democrat Deep Staters always, always, always telegraph their deeds, transposing them onto their opposition. It’s been happening since the days of Woodrow Wilson and it continues to this day.Today’s uniparty Deep State tool is a frequent flier: Dick Durbin, a Democrat senator from Illinois. This Chicago-machine-anointed partisan hack has demonstrated his partisanship almost every second of his career, and his latest remarks don’t deviate from his far-Left fealty.In response to President-elect Trump’s nomination of Kash Patel to head the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Durbin issued an infantile protest full of name-calling and “it’s not fair” whining, fully unbecoming of someone seated in the most prestigious legislative body on the planet.“President Biden kept Director Wray in office because the FBI is supposed to be insulated from partisanship. Now, the president-elect wants to replace his own appointee with an unqualified loyalist…The Senate should reject this unprecedented effo

Tone-Deaf Republicans & The Man The Far-Left Calls Hitler
30/11/2024 Duration: 09minNever let it be said that establishment operatives within the Republican Party apparatus can’t snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. The only questions that remain are these: Do they do it because they are power-hungry Deep Staters? Or are they just that incapable of recognizing a mandate when they see one?The latest in the long line of “are you shitting me” moments comes in the elitist and tone-deaf remarks emanating from George W. Bush’s “architect,” Karl Rove.In a recent op-ed penned for The Wall Street Journal, Rove is quoted as saying:“While his nominees prepare for their hearings, the president-elect must turn to what is in many respects an equally important task: picking the No. 2s for his cabinet secretaries and administrator…It will be especially important for Mr. Trump’s picks to have capable No. 2s as undersecretary, deputy secretary, and chief deputy administrator — titles vary from place to place — especially if the No. 1 is new to government or that department’s function.”Rove states that thos

So, The Christmas Marketing Can Wait Another Day
27/11/2024 Duration: 11minI get a certain satisfaction from those social media memes that joke, “For every Christmas light that goes up before Thanksgiving, an elf dies.” Not that I have anything against elves. I am sure they are very nice. Thanksgiving comes before Christmas, and it is a uniquely American holiday that should be properly recognized.We see it increasingly every year. Immediately after Halloween, the Madison Avenue marketers and profiteers start the push to “buy, buy, buy” for the Christmas holiday. In some cases, stores are starting to put up Christmas merchandise even before the Halloween candy goes on sale. Jack Skellington riding a reindeer. How pithy.In my humble opinion, it diminishes both Halloween and Christmas. But more importantly, it completely ignores the uniquely American holiday that is Thanksgiving, and that is really disheartening.Everyone should know the story of the first Thanksgiving and the formative history that brought it to be a national holiday. I say should because, as you all know, accurate and
