Democrats are finally suffering from the “Chicken Little” effect—but on steroids, fentanyl, and whatever MSNBC prescribes to keep its hosts upright.They've screamed apocalypse so many times that the public could watch a mushroom cloud bloom over the DNC Headquarters and still assume it's a TikTok filter. They lie so compulsively, with such industrial efficiency, that Americans have developed herd immunity. Nobody believes anything they say. Nor should they.And now, with their credibility stripped for scrap like a stolen catalytic converter, the Democrats are entering the stage of desperation usually reserved for contestants on COPS reruns—the moment when panic overrides intelligence and the perpetrator implicates himself while trying to blame everyone else.Recently, I wrote that Democrats are so out of lies, so tapped out of their usual identity-politics scratch-off cards, that they did the unthinkable: They stopped pulling the race card.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

President Donald Trump's second term has seen a deliberate push to further entrench conservative influence in the federal judiciary, building on his first-term record of confirming 234 Article III judges (including three Supreme Court justices), which shifted the courts rightward and impacted rulings on issues like abortion, voting rights, and immigration. As of November 2025, the Senate has confirmed 253 total Article III judges from his nominations across both terms, with ongoing efforts to fill 47 current vacancies. However, Trump's pace has been slower this term—his first nomination came in late April 2025, compared to a rapid start in 2017—due to fewer vacancies (thanks to Biden's 235 confirmations) and a focus on executive branch roles.

A stunning new internal report, a nine-month, 21-state research project funded by the Democrat-aligned group Democracy Matters, has come to a conclusion so obvious it's like paying a scientist to confirm that water is, in fact, wet.The findings, published by POLITICO, reveal that working-class voters—you know, the people who actually build things, grow things, and fix things—see the Democratic Party as “woke, weak and out-of-touch.”[X] SB – Crowder lists crimes by illegalsSix in ten have a negative view of the party. They can't name what Democrats stand for other than a frothing, all-consuming hatred for Donald Trump.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Before I continue down the path with Democrats vs reality, I have a question. Where have the pronouns gone?I talked recently about how fast Trump moves, and didn't even think about this one until recently. Trump killed pronouns in the great pronoun purge of 2025. Pronouns have fizzled out faster than a Leftist's grasp on reality. And here Leftists thought they had started a cultural revolution.The pronouns nonsense exploded on the scene. It burst in like your drunk uncle crashing your barbecue.Weirdos demanded we refer to them as "he/him," "she/her," or God forbid, "ze/zir" like it was some profound act of enlightenment? The they/them crowd got me, though. People would refer to they, and I was like “We is THEY?” Are we talking about Tina who used to be Ted?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Media expert Stuart Brotman joins the program for an eye-opening conversation about the growing crisis of censorship and control in America. As an advisor to four U.S. presidents and one of the nation's leading authorities on media law and free expression, Brotman brings a unique and deeply informed perspective on how our digital environment is being shaped behind the scenes.Together, we dive into Section 230, the shifting legal landscape, and how the justice system is struggling to catch up with the power of today's tech giants. We confront the real-world consequences of these failures, including my own case: a smear campaign and explicit, defamatory associations that appeared on the front page of Google Search—damaging not only to me as a journalist, but to every American who depends on a fair and safe information ecosystem.This conversation is a clear warning: what happened to me can happen to anyone, and the public deserves transparency, accountability, and the right to their own reputation.To go deeper into these issues, you can purchase Stuart Brotman's groundbreaking new book here: https://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/9781510786752/free-expression-under-fire/See exclusives and more at https://SarahWestall.Substack.com

The stable genius, Donald Trump, returns as he navigates the new Democrat hoax of the blowing up of the narco boat in Venezuela, and still running the country based on what is good for Americans. The Minnesota billion-dollar fraud controversy details are horrific and at times absurd, yet the Democrats' strategy is to deflect and focus on Trump calling Somalis "garbage". Plus, Stefani Buhajla checks in, new democrat bill to get rid of detention of illegals, Jazzy broke, Panetta is back, a woman in Great Britian arrested for calling her ex-boyfriend who would physically abuse her a homosexual slur, and more.

A great line from the film. "What we do in life, echoes throughout all eternity!" That line was given by Maximus to his best troops. Vishal Wagh writes:What he says is not only rousing and uplifting; it's also deeply philosophical. And going beyond its battlefield context, it is also a map that leads us to the film's thematic center, as well as Maximus' own character journey. It signifies everything that Maximus will have to face—love, loyalty, betrayal, and the ultimate test of honor.These are the words spoken by a man who is heading towards a destiny where he will lose everything, i.e., except his reputation. This single line is the reason why we still remember him.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I think we are spoiled by Trump, because he acts fast. Take the drug war, for example.To be clear, I have mixed emotions about what he's doing. That said, what else has worked?Kurt Schlichter said that the US bombed ships trying to bring mustard gas to the US and mustard gas killed no one American.But drugs kill 100,000 Americans a year.Reagan got Nancy to launch, “Just say no!”, as Americans were saying, YES YES YES!We had commercials showing our brains as fried eggs, and drug addicts just asked for bacon!Trump acted. Definitively. Is it working? I don't know. But I know I would get on any boat out of Venezuela for the foreseeable future. And Maduro is in BIG trouble politically, since drugs finance his regime.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

for Leftists and Democrats. For Democrats and other Leftists, my show acts as an intervention OR a hotline directly to Suicide Prevention for Democrats.Because here, they get a dose of truth that makes them either gain sanity or want to jump off a bridge into oncoming traffic.

Democrats are intensely interested in stories, a pattern of intense advocacy on certain issues. This is almost always followed by silence once outcomes shift or complications arise. Democrats abandon their so-called principled stances on things more whimsical than a model changes clothes. I have many examples, like the Epstein files. How many interviews did these butt-clowns do, DEMANDING release of the Epstein files? And there are MANY more of these "silences"...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of the ThoughtStretchers podcast, host Drew Perkins talks with Dr. Barbara Oakley, distinguished professor of engineering and co-instructor of the celebrated Learning How to Learn course, to discuss her critical opinion piece: Censorship Hurts Our Brains: Why Neuroscience Confirms the Importance of Free Speech. They dive deep into the neural mechanisms behind free expression, the challenges facing K-12 education, and the dangers of sacrificing liberty for perceived order. Links & Resources Mentioned In This Episode + Video Podcast Show Notes & Main Discussion Points: Neuroscience and Free Speech: Dr. Oakley explains that exposure to differing viewpoints is essential for cognitive flexibility and how emotional upset literally impedes rational thought when we engage with challenging ideas. The 'Cult of Safety': We examine how the modern pursuit of "safe spaces" can ironically lead to a heightened acceptance of hostility toward people with different political views. K-12 Education & Free Speech: We explore the difficulty of promoting civic thought in K-12, noting the tension between academic freedom and the need for interventions to overcome ineffective educational practices. Critique of Constructivism: Dr. Oakley argues that pure constructivism in education is "completely opposed... to neuroscience," and suggests a balanced "knowledge-rich inquiry" model, guided by Socratic questioning, as a more effective path to true learning. Order vs. Liberty: Finally, we discuss how a perceived loss of public safety and order can make a population more willing to compromise essential liberties, including free speech. Time-Stamped Highlights: The Neuroscience of Free Speech (00:07:01): Dr. Oakley explains how engaging with opposing viewpoints—especially through her free Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on the neurocognitive perspective of free speech—is vital for building cognitive flexibility. The Cult of Safety (00:20:17): Barbara Oakley discusses the "cult of safety" and how the swift transition from the pursuit of safe spaces to the acceptance of hostility toward people with differing political beliefs is a worrying trend. Emotional Upset vs. Rational Thought (00:23:15): A key takeaway from the neuroscience perspective is that emotional upset makes rational, conscientious engagement with an upsetting topic extremely difficult. The best approach is to manage emotions and seek to understand why people hold their beliefs. The Dilemma of K-12 Civic Education (00:10:59): Drew Perkins highlights the struggle to promote civic thought and enlightenment tradition principles in schools, noting that the lack of connection to test scores often pushes these initiatives aside. Government Intervention & 'Paradigm Cartels' (00:13:37): They discuss the tension between academic freedom and the occasional necessity of legislative intervention to overcome entrenched, ineffective beliefs in education, citing the "reading wars" and the mandate of phonics instruction as an example. The Dangers of Anti-Liberal Movements (00:30:52): Drew Perkins explores the growing "post-liberal and/or anti-liberal" movements on both the political right and left, expressing concern that these forces are dangerously pushing against the fundamental issue of free speech. Constructivism vs. Neuroscience (00:39:41): Dr. Oakley argues that the pervasive influence of pure constructivism in K-12 is "completely opposed... to neuroscience," citing negative learning outcomes in places like New Zealand, where a student-centered approach has been extensively applied. The Power of Knowledge-Rich Inquiry (00:45:29): They align on a knowledge-rich inquiry model, where a teacher uses Socratic questioning to narrow the "potential solution space," leading the student to the final 'aha' moment and strengthening the neural connection, which is a key part of effective teaching. Loss of Order and Compromising Liberty (00:38:40): The conversation concludes by linking the loss of public order and stability to a population's increased willingness to sacrifice liberties, like free speech, in exchange for a feeling of safety and for the metaphorical "trains to run on time."

In this episode of The Collective Perspective, Travis and Jeff dive into the Paradox of Tolerance—the idea that a society that is too tolerant may eventually enable intolerance to take over. We unpack: • What the paradox really means (and what it doesn't). • Where tolerance ends and self-preservation begins. • Why it's not about shutting people down, but about protecting healthy dialogue. • Real-world examples of tolerance being tested today. The conversation is honest, grounded, and sometimes funny but always focused on building stronger communities. If you've ever asked yourself: “Do we really have to accept everything in the name of tolerance?” this episode is for you.

The media are so busy seeing what they want to see, they miss the real picture. Take President Trump for example. I love President Trump's accessibility. And I appreciate his style. It comes off over the top, but that's how he thinks.For some, his style is off-putting, but it's Trump being Trump.Remember how unbelievably idiotic Biden was, his comments and actions, and the Left would say, “That's Biden being Biden”. Not a problem, unless he's STARTING WARS, or SELLING OUT AMERICA TO THE CHINESE!Trump being Trump means America is winning. And it means something bad is being exposed.

President Donald Trump's biggest legacy will be with the courts. And as I wrote recently, he's playing the long game better than any modern president. His second term has seen a deliberate push to further entrench conservative influence in the federal judiciary, building on his first-term record of confirming 234 Article III judges (including three Supreme Court justices), which shifted the courts rightward and impacted rulings on issues like abortion, voting rights, and immigration.

In this episode of The MisFitNation, host Rich LaMonica welcomes Julian Raven — British-born, Spanish-raised, American artist, entrepreneur, and First Amendment activist. Raven's story is as unique as his art: from missionary work to becoming a multidisciplinary artist, and from the pulpit to the courtroom. He became nationally known after his Trump portrait was rejected by the Smithsonian, launching an eight-year legal battle that reached the U.S. Supreme Court. His fight revealed deep questions about free speech, artistic freedom, and government accountability.

Episode 41: Scaer, et al. v. City of Nashua, et al.Scaer, et al. v. City of Nashua, et al. argued before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on December 2, 2025. Argued by Institute for Free Speech Attorney Nathan Ristuccia (on behalf of Stephen and Bethany Scaer) and Steven A. Bolton (on behalf of the City of Nashua, NH). Case Background, from the Institute for Free Speech case page: Should a city be able to pick and choose whose messages are “worthy” to appear on its public “Citizen Flag Pole?” The City of Nashua thinks so—but a federal lawsuit aims to change that. Attorneys from the Institute for Free Speech and local counsel Roy S. McCandless filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire on behalf of Bethany and Stephen Scaer (pronounced “scare”), two Nashua residents whose flag requests have been denied. The suit challenges the constitutionality of Nashua's policy governing the use of its Citizen Flag Pole. The lawsuit seeks to enjoin Nashua city officials from denying flag applications based on viewpoint and from enforcing parts of its flag policy that limit acceptable flags. Nashua residents have long used the Citizen Flag Pole to fly flags representing various causes and heritages. However, after a 2022 Supreme Court decision protecting speech in such forums, Nashua officials hastily implemented a new policy to take control over the messages expressed. Under the policy, residents can apply to fly flags on the Citizen Flag Pole in front of City Hall. However, the policy states that any message “will be allowed only if it is in harmony with city policies and messages that the city wishes to express and endorse.” The Scaers have had multiple flag requests denied, including most recently the Pine Tree Flag to commemorate the Battle of Bunker Hill. The city provided no explanation beyond stating their flags were “not in harmony” with the city's message. The lawsuit argues that Nashua's policy violates the First Amendment by imposing viewpoint-based restrictions on speech, creating an unconstitutional prior restraint, and being impermissibly vague and overbroad.  Statement of the Issues, from the Plaintiffs-Appellants Opening Brief: Whether governments may avoid First Amendment limits in regulating speech by adopting it as government speech, without acquiring any property interest or permanent possessory interest over that private speech?  Whether a government speaks or merely regulates private speech when it uses its final approval authority to permit or to prohibit the display of certain messages on government property, without shaping or altering the content of those messages?  Whether Plaintiffs are likely to succeed in their claim that the City of Nashua's policies and practices regarding flags displayed on its Citizen Flag Pole and flag-raising ceremonies conducted on its City Hall Plaza constitute viewpoint discrimination, or are vague, overbroad, or effect a prior restraint on speech?  Whether Plaintiffs are entitled to a preliminary injunction against those policies and practices? Resources:   Institute for Free Speech case page (includes all filings) Plaintiffs-Appellants Stephen and Bethany Scaer's Opening Brief Brief For Defendants-Appellee, City Of Nashua, New Hampshire The Institute for Free Speech promotes and defends the political speech rights to freely speak, assemble, publish, and petition the government guaranteed by the First Amendment.

“How stupid are Democrats?” Every time we think they've hit the bottom, they break out a jackhammer and start digging like they're hoping to discover a new layer of dumb beneath the mantle.

Today we are cutting through the swamp like a chainsaw through tofu. I mentioned Adam Schiff earlier, and the latest episode of his Never-Ending Audition for America's Most Wanted.You know the guy— that perpetually squinting senator from California who's spent the last decade treating Congress like his personal fanfic workshop. Remember when he swore up and down he had "direct evidence" of Trump-Russia collusion? Turns out, it was about as real as a Hollywood set: all smoke, mirrors, and a script written by his own fever dreams. The House censured him for it in 2023, called him out for peddling fairy tales that wasted millions in taxpayer dollars and turned our intelligence community into a bad spy novel. But hey, in Democrat land, lying isn't a bug—it's the operating system.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Chicago's annual Christmas tree lighting, that merry beacon of twinkling lights and festive cheer in Millennium Park, a spot that's supposed to be the crown jewel of the Windy City. Families bundled up, kids wide-eyed, hot cocoa in hand. What could go wrong? Well, if you're in a Democrat-run metropolis, everything.Just hours after the switch was flipped on that giant evergreen—chaos erupted. Not one, but two separate shootings in the downtown Loop area.Seven teenagers gunned down near the iconic Chicago Theatre, ages 13 to 17, like they were auditioning for a role in some urban apocalypse flick.

It is impossible to cover all the BS Democrats produce in a day. Democrats give us a week's worth of news in two hours. These morons are incredible. Let me give you a taste with just a list:· Jasmine Crockett used the wrong Jeffrey Epstein to accuse Republicans of getting money from the Democrats' version of Epstein—the sexual predator· A woman was burned in Chicago on mass transit, and the comments will shock you.· A Democrat Congresswoman ripped off FEMA, and her excuse is astounding· Democrats called for sedition by the US military and CIA· Democrats continue lying about Trump's relationship with Epstein, even as evidence indicts only other Democrats.· Comey tried a hail Mary and lost.· Ms Universe pageant contestant from Palestine is tied to a terrorist· Real headline: Once likely to be slaughtered, gay sheep find refuge…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Democrats are married to their lies. But they do have a good excuse:Every Democrat who speaks on this uses the focus-tested nonsense, “We are doing this for the victims”. Or in the case of that embezzling Democrats, she's just want to help the people of her district. Comey, Big Tish, Jack Smith, and many others have been netted and will soon be served as sushiSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Never forget. That's what we say about veterans, but they fought so that we would never forget what Democrats do, then try to move on from.There are lots of those topics.Where is the discussion about Obamacare now? Now that the government has been turned back on, Democrats have not talked a lot about healthcare from that sorry perspective. Why? Because Democrats lose on that issue.It's time for enrollment, but Democrats have gone silent. Remember when all they talked about during the shutdown was Obamacare.Now, they are asking the military to take over the government in a junta, another coup. “Don't follow orders!” But note how they are slowly backing away from that debate...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

But TWO!I understand why women would be attracted to each other because they are beautiful beasts.

In this episode, we discuss the fallout from the government shutdown and how delays in federal economic data, including the Consumer Price Index and jobs reports, leave policymakers and the public effectively “driving without headlights.” We examine the broader risks of making monetary decisions without timely information and the political incentives surrounding data transparency. We turn to new reporting on Border Patrol surveillance, exploring constitutional concerns raised by nationwide license-plate monitoring, predictive algorithms, and civil asset forfeiture. We highlight the “foolishness of the week,” a Thanksgiving trend piece on secretly stoned dinner guests, before shifting to a Thanksgiving tradition of our own as we reflect on what we're thankful not to have, from VAT taxes and debtors' prisons to hostile borders, historic diseases, and restrictions on homeschooling and peaceful protest. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:33 The Government Shutdown's Aftermath 04:55 Border Patrol's Expanding 100-Mile Authority 07:13 Predictive Policing, License Plate Tracking, and Searches 11:24 Civil Asset Forfeiture and Presumed Guilt 13:41 Foolishness of the Week: The “Stoned Thanksgiving Guests” Trend 15:57 What We're Thankful to Not Have 16:35 Value Added Tax 18:28 Vaccines and the Elimination of Deadly Diseases 20:50 Free Speech and Peaceful Protest 22:08 Women's Rights 23:53 Guns as the Great Equalizer 28:08 Homeschooling Freedoms and Education Restrictions of the Past 32:40 Criminalization of Debt and Bankruptcy Laws 34:05 Why Jailing People for Using Drugs is a Stupid Idea 36:08 Friendly International Neighbors 37:11 Declining Poverty 38:46 Closing Thoughts on Gratitude and a Better World Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy Thanksgiving America! To all the patriots listening today, I say GET A LIFE.Just kidding. Somebody has to do the heavy lifting for this country. Trust me, the Left are not taking Thanksgiving off. They do their dastardly deeds when we are relaxing.They have very little to be thankful for.They hate the country that is celebrating its founding. Imagine that, all those butt clowns enjoying Thanksgiving, as they sit around bashing the country and those of us who make the country great.SACRILEGE.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today, we're flipping the bird at the usual feel-good fluff and diving into a comical feast: from presidential pardons that make you wonder if the White House turkey is the only one getting off easy, to family football games where the real tackles happen over politics. We've got NFL showdowns, meme-worthy headlines like that Epstein flop that's got Democrats gobbling in embarrassment, and enough banter to stuff your ears fuller than Grandma's turkey.

In the first of a multi-part series on protecting free speech in media, public television writers Rupeshi Shah Bhat, June Thiele, Peter Miller and Jill Cozza-Turner discuss the state of public broadcasting in the face of ongoing threats like the loss of federal funding, and why it's so critical to fight back to protect both public broadcasting specifically and free speech overall.

Peter Miller is a Emmy and Peabody Award-winning documentary filmmaker who has been working in the public television documentary industry for over 30 years, including for programs like American Experience.

Amid an abundance of legal issues Mary and Andrew are keeping tabs on, this episode begins with the dismissal of the cases against both James Comey and Letitia James over the unlawful appointment of interim U.S. attorney Lindsey Halligan. The co-hosts work through the judge's decision before reviewing some of the procedural missteps made by Halligan in the Comey case. Next comes the news that the Pentagon is investigating Senator Mark Kelly over a video he and other lawmakers made assuring military personnel they are not obligated to follow illegal orders. As Andrew notes, “Isn't that the law? And isn't that what a president and the head of the Department of Defense want?” And last up, Andrew and Mary touch on a double standard over redistricting efforts, as the Justice Department sues California under a pretense of racial gerrymandering, while notably refraining from leveling similar challenges to Texas' redistricting plans. Further reading/watching:Here is the Washington Post piece Mary and Andrew referred to: White House blew past legal concerns in deadly strikes on drug boats.WATCH: Here is the video from Sen.

In most other “free countries,” citizens and politicians would be arrested for the much of the speech we take for granted here. Hate speech, bigoted speech, reckless speech, irresponsible speech. I'm always thankful to live in a country that allows all this speech. A country where, the answer to hate speech, isn't to censor or outlaw it, but to defeat it/outshout it with other speech. As broken as our politics is in America, I'm still thankful this Thanksgiving that we still believe in free, fulsome, & unfettered speech. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today on Stinchfield, we expose the real cost of unfettered immigration in Great Britain and why the flood of unvetted migrants, specifically from Muslim-majority nations, has collided head-on with the values that once made the UK a beacon of free speech. The result? A nation where simply expressing an opinion can get you detained. We have shocking video police arresting citizens for holding signs, questioning official narratives, or posting comments online. You will watch British officers enforce “speech laws” that look more like the tactics of an authoritarian regime than a Western democracy. This is what happens when cultural assimilation collapses, and the government starts criminalizing dissent in the name of “tolerance.” But that’s just the first punch. We also dive deep into the Zelensky–Ukraine corruption scandal exploding right now. It’s everything I’ve been warning you about: American taxpayer dollars funneled into a system riddled with graft, insider deals, and oligarch kickbacks. Billions meant for defense and humanitarian aid are now confirmed to have lined the pockets of Ukrainian officials, exactly what the political class and the media insisted would “never” happen. Washington asked for blind loyalty.I asked for accountability.And guess who turned out to be right? We show you the receipts, the whistleblowers, and the smoking-gun evidence that proves the DC foreign-aid machine is as rotten as ever. https://GrantLovesGold.com www.EnergizedHealth.com/Grant www.PatriotMobile.com/Grant Https://Twc.Health/Grant Use "Grant" for 10% Off See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Free speech is today more contested than ever before. In many places, differing views about politics, sex, and religion are suppressed and punished. In the West, debates rage over its limits and meaning. Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by Dr. Fara Dabhoiwala to trace the roots of this conflict back to the 18th century, when America embraced the First Amendment, while most of the world adopted a different principle: rights balanced by responsibilities. Together Suzannah and Fara explore the surprising and often troubling origins of free speech, from medieval punishments for slander and Henry VIII's treason laws to the American Revolution's selective embrace of liberty.MORE:17th and 18th Century Sexual RevolutionListen on AppleListen on SpotifySinging the News in Tudor EnglandListen on AppleListen on SpotifyPresented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.
