Cable news and social media have incited the American people into a hatred for Russia and a clamor for war. Rather than looking at the real world, pundits and politicians engage in increasingly unhinged rhetoric, shunning factual analysis for meaningless platitudes. If we are not careful, we could find ourselves in World War III. Is … Continue reading Episode 71: American Jihad

If America was a movie, the lights would come on after our victory in World War II, or perhaps after we won the Cold War in 1991.

Kyle Rittenhouse did nothing wrong, but both the Marxist left and establishment right have spent the last year attacking him.

At long last, here is the fourth of five eventual re-recordings I plan to do. Episode 4 was the worst of the early episodes, as I used my low-quality laptop microphone to record, and I did not prepare a script but instead spoke off the cuff based on a sparse outline. For this recording I … Continue reading Episode 4x: Learning From History

(The essay version of this podcast can be found here.) This episode has been a long time coming.

(The essay version of this podcast can be found here.) The lesson of the Trump Era is that one man cannot save this country, not after the globalist left has completely taken over every institution.

The Democrats’ proposal for a 25th Amendment commission is troubling, as they are clearly planning to use Joe Biden as a figurehead for the power behind the throne.

(The essay version of this podcast can be found here.) Fake news and propaganda are more than just lies, rather they are an assault on reason itself.
