Today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson is a carefully crafted full-on rant about two awful cultural failures, Donald Trump and Taylor Swift. Both, in their own ways, are failing the next generation and pushing the normalization of pedophilia. Trump refuses to release the Epstein list or hold powerful pedophiles accountable. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift flaunts her naked body on her album cover marketed to an audience that includes young girls who are already being tempted by a society pushing them toward OnlyFans. Feminism has clearly failed. We need to bring back the biblical patriarchy, AKA Christianity.At some point, we have to stop asking why is all of this happening and start living biblically individually, in our families, and as a society. For the sake of our own wellbeing and (far more importantly) the protection of our children. If we can't even agree to safeguard their innocence, what are we doing? Why aren't we protecting the children?--https://bakerbookhouse.com/featured/the-brand-sunday

Why do we spend hundreds, or even thousands, on bottles we might never open? In this episode, we dive deep into the psychology of liquor collecting, hype culture, FOMO, and the way booze becomes a status symbol. Whether you're building a bunker of bourbon or flexing limited-edition tequila, there's more to it than just what's in the bottle.From the thrill of the hunt to the trap of identity signaling, Matt, Jason, and Drew break down why collecting bottles is more emotional than logical…and why that's exactly the point.#whiskeycollector #liquorhype #arsenicculturehttps://www.youtube.com/@arsenicculturehttps://instagram.com/arsenicculturehttps://tiktok.com/@arsenicculturehttps://www.facebook.com/arsenicculture/https://x.com/arsenicculture

Have we reached a breaking point with cancel culture? When did our default response to mistakes become permanent exile rather than creating space for growth? These are the questions at the heart of today's deeply personal exploration.The Joey Swoll controversy serves as our starting point – a fitness influencer whose casual use of an offensive racial term sparked immediate backlash. While his apology seemed sincere, the momentum of internet outrage had already taken hold, eventually driving him from social media entirely. This pattern repeats itself daily across our digital landscape, raising crucial questions about what we're really trying to achieve when we "cancel" individuals.This isn't about defending harmful behavior or giving free passes. It's about examining the difference between holding people accountable and cutting them off completely. When former Trump supporters begin expressing regret, when people acknowledge they've been misled, do we slam the door shut or create pathways toward understanding? The answer shapes not just individual relationships but our collective future.There's a stark contrast between this individual accountability and the necessary consequences for corporate performative allyship. Target's journey from racial justice champion after George Floyd's murder to quietly dismantling those same DEI initiatives demonstrates why some cancellations are justified responses to cynical opportunism. Not all accountability should look the same.Forgiveness isn't weakness – it's choosing discernment over erasure, boundaries over exile. It says, "I see the damage, and now I'm watching what you do next." Most of us have received grace at some point in our lives, not excusing our mistakes but keeping us in community long enough to learn something new. Extending that same opportunity to others might be the most radical act in our divided times. The question isn't whether to forgive, but how to forgive in ways that promote genuine transformation rather than easy absolution.What kind of culture are we creating when our only response to "I'm sorry" is permanent rejection?

Matt, Jason, and Drew dive into what really makes a dive bar, whether they're being replaced by $18 cocktail lounges, and why these gritty, neon-lit spaces still matter. From cheap beer to barstool therapy, this is a love letter to the dive bar culture that's slowly fading away.Let us know your local favorite—or the nastiest dive you've ever been to.

SEND US A MESSAGE! We'd Love to Chat With you and Hear your thoughts! We'll read them on the next episode. There seemed to be much momentum as Trump announced his 3rd run for presidency. Many scandals had taken place and been forgotten: Russia Gate, Election Gate, Assassination Gate...etc. Even more, culturally, we descended into a place humanity had never been historically. Women were no longer women, but men could compete against them, also, men could become women so long as we admit there is no such thing as a woman. Christians defended these things and churches were split. All of this was taking place underneath the surface level culture divide of ethnic hatred and so on. Today, some momentum seems to have been lost. There is ethnic fatigue, there is Trump fatigue, there is feminism fatigue, there is church fatigue...what is going on?!So, Brandon and Daren ask the question, "where are we now"? What does social media reveal to us as we peruse the internet to see where American culture is today? This is quite possibly a bold task, but a task worth completing.

It's pride month again yet the culture seems to be moving away from supporting this wickedness. The emperor has no clothes and is dancing in the street in front of your children. Memes win, again.Show Notes:* Opening Segment: Biblical Reference and Church Discipline (00:00:00 - 00:00:25)* The episode begins with a question about what the Apostle Paul instructed regarding unrepentant believers in the church.* Answer: Paul advised to "kick them out" and "give them up to Satan" so they might be saved, referencing 1 Corinthians 5:5.* The hosts clarify this is not about mocking individuals but addressing unrepentant sin within the church.* Pride Month Discussion and Statistics (00:00:25 - 00:12:44)* The hosts introduce the episode as occurring during Pride Month, humorously sipping Bud Light Lime in jest.* They present a series of statistics labeled as "homo facts" to critique the lifestyle associated with the LGBTQ+ community, including:* Lesbian Relationships: 24-90% of lesbians report physical abuse by partners, higher than in heterosexual relationships.* HIV Prevalence: Gay men are 60 times more likely to have HIV than straight men; one in eight gay men in London have HIV; transsexuals are 50 times more likely to have HIV globally.* Sexual Partners: 25% of gay men in America have had over 1,000 partners; 43% have had over 500; 79% of homosexual men say half their partners are strangers.* Mental Health and Suicide: Homosexuals are more likely to experience anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and suicide; 41% of transsexuals have attempted suicide.* Health Risks: Gay men have a 20-year lower life expectancy; lesbians have a 10-year lower life expectancy; active homosexual men are 17 times more likely to have anal cancer.* Other Stats: 99.8% of lesbian, gay, or bisexual teens change their sexual orientation within 13 years; 53% of mothers of transsexual children have borderline personality disorder; gay men account for 63% of U.S. syphilis cases despite being 1.65% of the population.* The hosts attribute these issues to environmental factors (e.g., absent or poor father figures, sexual abuse) rather than being "born gay."* They reference Romans 1 to support their view that homosexuality is a sin and argue that a straight lifestyle leads to a safer, more wholesome life.* Cultural Commentary and "Gay Fatigue" (00:12:44 - 00:15:41)* The hosts note a societal shift, observing increased mockery of Pride flags and events online, suggesting a growing "homo fatigue."* They criticize Disney for replacing the American flag with a Pride flag at Magic Kingdom during June, speculating it's to cater to "Disney adults" due to low birth rates.* Anecdotes about public backlash, such as negative comments on a Cincinnati post about raising a Pride flag and a sarcastic comment on an Orlando Pride run event.* Biblical Mockery and Calling Out Sin (00:15:41 - 00:29:01)* The hosts discuss the role of mockery in addressing pride and sin, referencing Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19) as the biblical origin of the term "sodomy."* They argue that affirming sinful lifestyles (e.g., homosexuality, cohabitation outside marriage) is not loving and that Christians must call people to repentance.* Personal anecdotes are shared, such as the hosts' experiences with family members (e.g., a lesbian aunt who was mocked but not affirmed, with one getting saved before death).* They emphasize that mockery should not be personal but can be a tool to challenge pride, contrasting it with affirmation that enables sin.* Pop Culture and Media Critique (00:29:01 - 01:34:12)* Doctor Who Discussion (01:17:23 - 01:20:24): The hosts critique the recent Doctor Who reboot, noting low ratings (120,000 viewers on BBC) and the controversial transformation of the Doctor into Rose Tyler, a former companion. They view it as a ratings grab and a pandering move.* Olympics Controversy (01:20:24 - 01:24:51): Discussion of a male boxer competing in women's boxing at the Paris Olympics, despite prior evidence of male chromosomes, highlighting unfairness and societal gaslighting.* Superman and Comic Book Talk (01:24:51 - 01:33:34): Speculation about the upcoming Superman movie and the potential death of Krypto the dog. The hosts nerd out over DC and Marvel, comparing their strengths (DC's deep characters vs. Marvel's broader stories) and praising specific comics like Red Son, Hush, and Court of Owls.* Political Commentary: Benjamin Netanyahu (01:34:12 - 01:39:45)* The hosts discuss Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ongoing corruption trial since 2020, noting he took the stand on June 6, 2025.* They reveal his birth name, Benzion Milikowski, and note his family's immigration from Poland, questioning the name change to “Hebrewize” it as potentially misleading.* They speculate about the October 7th attack as an inside job to bolster Netanyahu's image, comparing it to 9/11, and suggest his trial indicates waning public support in Israel.* Final Thoughts and Political Critique (01:39:45 - 01:46:16)* Good Trump, Bad Trump: The hosts praise Trump for backing away from unconditional support for Israel and for speaking out against fearmongering over a new COVID variant. However, they criticize him for not taking a strong stand against COVID measures four years earlier, calling politicians “a day late and a dollar short.”* Republican Inaction: Frustration with Republicans who promise action but do nothing once in office.* Cultural Reflection: The world is described as “fake and gay,” urging listeners to seek truth in Christ rather than worldly affirmation.* Christian Perspective on Homosexuality: The hosts address claims that one can be a practicing homosexual and a born-again Christian, arguing that true faith involves conviction and repentance from sin, not affirmation of a sinful lifestyle.* Closing Prayer and Verse (01:46:16 - 01:47:40)* Verse of the Night: 1 Peter 5:7 – “Casting all your care upon him [Jesus], for he cares for you.”* Prayer (Led by Dusty): Thanks God for the opportunity to discuss worldly issues, acknowledges the fallen nature of the world, and praises Jesus for His sacrifice.* Call to Action: Encourages listeners to like, share, subscribe, and comment at kingsplaining.com to support the podcast.Key Themes* Biblical Authority: The hosts ground their critique of Pride Month and societal trends in scripture, particularly Paul's teachings and the story of Sodom and Gomorrah.* Cultural Decline: They express frustration with what they see as moral and cultural decay, particularly in media and politics, labeling it “fake and gay.”* Call to Repentance: Emphasizes the need for Christians to confront sin lovingly but firmly, rejecting affirmation of lifestyles they believe are sinful.* Humor and Mockery: Uses humor and satire to challenge societal norms, while acknowledging the need for personal relationships to be handled with care.* Political Skepticism: Critiques both domestic and international political figures, expressing distrust in leaders like Netanyahu and disappointment in Republican inaction.Notable Quotes* “We didn't bring a gay person onto the show to mock them ruthlessly. And we wouldn't if they were on the show.” (00:26:01)* “Love is not destructive.” (01:46:04)* “Cast it all on Jesus, even in this fake and gay world.” (01:46:27)* “We're not gay like Fox News. We actually are fair and balanced.” (01:39:54)Additional Notes* The podcast is self-described as the “home of the Rube Empire,” with a mission to serve Christ Jesus and offer a Christian, conservative perspective.* The hosts promote their website, kingsplaining.com, for merchandise (e.g., shirts) and listener engagement.* The episode includes significant use of provocative language and humor, which may be offensive to some listeners but aligns with the podcast's irreverent style.* The hosts express a mix of serious theological points and playful banter, particularly in the comic book discussion, showing their multifaceted interests.Listen to the Episode: Available at kingsplaining.com.Support the Show: Like, share, subscribe, and comment to help grow the Rube Empire!

Send us a textTexas is cooking up a bill that could land trans people in jail for “identity fraud.” Meanwhile, society keeps defending criminals more than the people protecting what's theirs—because logic is dead. We dive into how the glorification of unhealthy lifestyles now includes plus-size caskets, and why a hunger strike at UCLA fizzled out with about as much impact as a tofu protest.Also on deck: The media's back on its scripted drama with claims that Trump blindsided South Africa's president. Fluoride is turning up in concrete (and possibly turning your teeth to chalk), and chemtrails are no longer a conspiracy—whistleblowers and news reports are saying the quiet part out loud.

Today, Mike and Tim discuss the implications of current events, the responsibilities of Christians towards marginalized communities, and the concept of cruciformity in relation to leadership and community engagement. The dialogue emphasizes the need for empathy, awareness, and a commitment to serving others in the face of societal challenges. In this conversation, Mike and Tim explore the transformation of church leadership and community through the lens of grace and cruciformity. They critique the consumer-driven metrics of success in churches, emphasizing the need for a shift towards a more authentic and vulnerable leadership style that prioritizes love and community over prestige and power. The discussion highlights the dangers of traditional leadership models and the importance of fostering a culture that values people and their growth. But first... Andor? Sinners? Beyonce'? "I am an individual with an inalienable bill of rights and constitutional freedoms; I am an American citizen, promised upward mobility and a shot at the American dream if I just work hard and believe in myself; I am a consumer of religious goods and services, church shopping until I find a church that meets my needs; I am engaged in a culture war that can only be won through the exercise of political power against my political opponents who are ruining our country..." or "I am one of the ‘holy ones,' and a minister,  formerly dead and enslaved, but now, because of the mercy of God, I am alive and rescued into a newly reconciled human community, called the church. Belonging now to the new humanity,  I am saved and transformed utterly by grace, so that the basis of all human boasting, status seeking, and rivalry has been removed.  I am therefore free to receive others as gifts and siblings."
