JANUS v. AMERICAN FEDERATION OF STATE, COUNTY, AND MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES, COUNCIL 31 is an incredibly important ruling. However to understand just how important? You need to know how unions operate politically in symbiosis with the DNC.   https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/16-1466_2b3j.pdf

"President Trump met with ""Rocket Man"" to discuss the future of the Korean region. How did we get here? What was the outcome? What happens next? Settle in and let's talk about it all."

I love the way Candace Owens thinks the quote that broke the internet, let's talk about it.

Let's talk about the fantasy of Trump / Russia collusion, and why we can now definitively say it's always been a lie.

Let's talk about the attempt to shut down Roy Moore, the nature of "listen and believe" and returning to a world where evidence matters.

"Let's talk about the intersection of free speech and private forums, what's happening and what it all means for discourse. https://gab.ai/herdwatching http://herdwatching.com http://facebook.com/herdwatching http://twitter.com/herdwatching http://instagram.com/herdwatching ALSO follow Riding Herd... http://twitter.com/ridingherd http://facebook.com/ridingherd http://instagram.com/ridingherd"

These are my initial thoughts in the wake of the Charlottesville  events and violence. I'll have more to add another time...

"Following the shocking news that Trump Jr. might have had a meeting with a Russian lawyer who has shady political ties, there is much to discuss! Initially posted to Facebook Live! on 07/11/2017"

Over the holiday, CNN decided to shed the last of their claim to journalism and threaten to destroy a private citizen unless he issued them an apology. It is clear now CNN feels it is their place to punish "wrong think".

Funny how it's no longer a referendum on Trump now that the DNC got it's butt kicked. What are the implications?

"As the violence ramps up from the left, let's have some straight talk about the context. Initially posted to Facebook Live! on 06/14/2017"

"The concept of healthcare as a human right to be paid for by others is deeply flawed. Unfortunately, the ethical issues embodied within it never find a home in the debate. Initially posted to Facebook Live! on 05/06/17"

"Because their arguments are emotional, the positions of the left cannot stand up to discussion or debate. Their growing reliance on violence to shut down speech reflects this. Initially posted to Facebook Live! on 04/26/17"

."Let's talk about the media and why you folks need to chill out. Initially posted to Facebook Live! on 04/13/17"

"We've discussed before that Obama often misused the USG to attack his political enemies, and clearly that he has done so against Trump. They finally pushed too far, and Donald J. Trump is willing to rip the whole thing open instead of fighting in the back rooms the way politicians expect. It is not unreasonable to suspect this is all going to backfire on the DNC spectacularly and wind up firmly on Obama's doorstep. Initially posted to Facebook Live! on 03/04/17"

"The evolving narrative about the recent departures within the State Department allow us to see how the media searches for ""sticky"" narratives that drive an agenda. Initially published on Live! on 01/27/17"

Talking about the "two minute hate" format the left has adopted...

I won't lie, I am thrilled and hopeful.

As the nation prepares for the inauguration of Donald Trump the snowflakes are in full blizzard mode. What are they REALLY afraid of?

Let's talk inauguration, culture wars, how hot Scarlett Johansson is no matter what craziness she believes and much more!

In the constant push to define and hold the narrative, many media outlets have turned to the rallying cry of #fakenews to delegitimize opposing voices. Let's talk about this a bit...

Talking about the U.N. This is a bit informal and off-the-cuff but that seems to be the sweet spot for me. Still, a few bullet points taped to the tripod would probably be a good idea for the future!

"Someone asked that I provide a video that just has the section regarding Israel. While normally I will not be doing focus edits, in this case it seemed well worth the effort. The full video is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uU7ILzlGc0 and runs about another 10 minutes discussing US internal politics."

"As we watch the final acts of the Obama presidency it's time to look at what he might be thinking... note: first entry shot on a new camera, I still need to work on the lighting and lock down the focus. Be gentle!"

The people Trump is selecting for his cabinet are drawing a lot of fire. Some of it is honest criticism, and some are narrative manipulation. Here are my thoughts...

"A longer discussion of how social media can amplify the influence and prominence of fringe groups and how this relates to the creation of narratives. A related blog post can be found at :

I want to take a moment and discuss the value of the electoral college. If you want details of the EC process and a more formal discussion hit the PragerU video at bit.ly/whytheec .
