Buckle up, folks, because we're diving headfirst into a political circus so absurd it could double as a reality TV plot twist! Imagine a world where politicians spin tales so wild they'd make Pinocchio blush, only to have their own wallets—and voters—call their bluff. That's the rollercoaster ride we're on today as Democrats, long champions of open borders and free handouts, are suddenly forced to foot the bill for the very illegals they swore wouldn't cost a dime. The hypocrisy? It's as thick as a California fog and twice as insulting. Let's peel back the curtain on this comedy of errors, where Gavin Newsom and J.B. Pritzker are learning the hard way that fairy tales don't pay the bills.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
We face the unknown every day. Do you know that the word we use for fear of foreigners is actually the word for fear of the unknown? Xenophobia.Panic in response to uncertainty. Some people say that the fear of the unknown is the greatest fear of all. What do you think?I've heard it said that "We do not fear the unknown. We fear what we think we know about the unknown." – Teal Swan. I believe that much of the time, the thought of fear itself is greater than what it is we fear."Fear and anxiety many times indicate that we are moving in a positive direction, out of the safe confines of our comfort zone.". The pessimistic but perhaps reality is that, "People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar." – Joseph Emet.

Why do we call it news? We get updates, but we don't get a lot of news. It's really OLDS repackaged to look like news.That is the question we should ask ourselves is about the cyclic nature of things.I can tell you what the news cycle will be today, in a year, and in a decade. It won't change. Why? Because Leftists won't change.Imagine waking up a day, and people simply get along. We accept each other for our differences, by understanding how much we are all the same?Imagine no black activism, and the #HAGS stop complaining about being women? Hell, imagine that Leftists actually define “woman” as what it is.Imagine a country working together to actually SOLVE problems for its citizens first, then helping the world, and only for the greater good. No wars, proxy wars, or political malfeasance Leftists love. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
America is fighting is most brutal battle to date. And it has changed the course of the war. The 2nd civil war is being fought inside this country.Hard to believe it's happening, but Leftists are sick people.Their decision-making leaves one baffled. Everything they claim to love has been devastated by their policies, but they won't let up. They are determined to prove that their ideas will never work by continually trying them.Leftism enables what happens. Hamas attacks Israel. Leftists in America celebrated.Leftists want to punch us in the mouth. We are winning all their constituencies.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The assault on conservatism, ergo common-sense continues from the Left. And we get daily proof. I will tell you that you'd better have a way of distilling truth from lies using your brain, because AI is becoming intense. If Leftists were to control AI, our reality would be so warped we could never recover. There is a chart shown in video of how much time Americans spent with family and friends and other activities including online, and decades ago, it was dominated by family.Today, any guess as to what dominates our time? ONLINE.As one guy put it, at the rate we are interacting, who will need humans?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Then there's the harassment at the parade itself. As attendees left, “No Kings” protesters heckled them, because nothing says “defend democracy” like bullying families celebrating the military. These folks weren't protesting policy; they were flexing for clout, hoping their chants of “No thrones, no crowns” would land them on MSNBC. The parade, by the way, cost $25-$45 million, and 60% of Americans polled said it was a waste. Fair point, but the Left's response—disrupting a celebration of service members—isn't principled; it's just loud. And let's talk about the Los Angeles riots, because this is where the Left's destructiveness goes from annoying to dangerous. Far-left militants, enraged over Trump's immigration policies, turned LA into a war zone with arson, looting, and freeway takeovers. Posts on X called it an “insurrection” against deportations, and they're not wrong. This wasn't a protest; it was organized chaos, funded by well-heeled activists who'd rather burn cities than debate policy. The Daily Caller has the receipts: Daily Caller on LA Riots.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Good evening, folks, and welcome to another dive into the circus of modern politics, where the Left's relentless chase for power, prestige, and cold hard cash has turned them into a laughingstock of self-owning buffoons. It's not just that their ideas are bad—oh no, they're catastrophic. It's that their execution is a masterclass in idiocy, a parade of performative nonsense that'd make a reality TV producer blush. Leftism isn't just an ideology; it's a black hole of destruction, sucking in common sense and spitting out chaos. Let's unpack a few gems from the news cycle to prove it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
[EP 25-239] What a weekend! Israel bombed Iran, the No Kings protests, Democrats racking up the “kills” with the assassination of Democrat lawmakers in Minnesota. More on that in a bit.Did you watch any video of the protests last weekend?PAID protesters, still funded by legacy NGO money. And thankfully there are real journalists exposing the game. What I noticed most about the protests is how the police are taking NO CRAP from protestors. I watched police manhandle unruly protestors.Interestingly, a few No Kings protests were canceled in areas of the country due to…LOW TURNOUT.In DC and Atlanta, protestors were made to remove masks or leave. I saw one woman get arrested for refusing.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
[EP 25-240] How does this reflect on him? I will be honest…not good. If Israel can disregard you, then how does that play out on the world stage.I find it hard to believe that Israel did this unilaterally.I believe they had to have read President Trump in on this. That's not what the administration is saying, and I will get to that in a minute. Somehow, the Trump administration will need to clean this up. As I said, the president was trying to bring Iran to the table.But they could have just been stalling.CNN interviews former Israel PM, Naftali BennettPre-emptive strike against military and nuclear facilities.

[EP 25-238] You ever get called out by someone who really sees you? I'm not talking about your mom after church or a best friend during a tequila confession. I'm talking about something that stares through the bravado, past the sarcasm, and straight into your marrow. That happened to me the other day — and the “person” who did it isn't a person at all.Colin Kaepernick is never going to give up on his dreams—or at least, that's the narrative he clings to. Every offseason, like a broken record, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback makes sure the world knows he's still in peak shape, still ready for an NFL return. And every year, the league responds with deafening silenceYou want to know what happens when your father gets booted from the party and his surrogate loses an election? First, your USAID money runs out. Second, all your “friends” abandon you. Hunter Biden is finding this out the hard way.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
[EP 25-237] Democrats are a mob. And when I say mob, I mean like the Mafia only much worse.When you marry the mob with a cult, you get much closer to what the Democrats represent. I've spoken about them for years and still haven't tapped into their real essence. I can tell you that they have no moral core, but that only scratches the surface.When they speak of “democracy”, and they do it often, it's not what you think. It's the small group of elitists who determine their version of democracy. And that democracy will be beaten into you if necessary.Crime is how they operate. And it's the people in the shadows who authorize the street-level criminals to operate.By now we all know that the demonstrations are orchestrated and funded by anti-American leftist organizations. Who else would protest for illegal immigration?But it's one thing to protest, it's another to incite violence.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on CURE America with Star Parker, we bring you a one-on-one candid conversation, with Tirzah Duren, the Vice President of Policy and Research at the American Research Institute, providing invaluable insights into the intricate dynamics of inflation. Her expertise sheds light on the correlation between rising minimum wages across the board and its consequential impact on employment rates. Duren's research highlights a concerning trend: as minimum wages increase; a significant portion of the workforce faces unemployment while simultaneously grappling with escalated living costs. Indeed, the higher the minimum wage climbs, the greater the strain on the lower earners. Richard Manning, President of Americans for Limited Government together with our own Senior Vice-President of Government Affairs, Marty Dannenfelser, delve into pressing matters related to the border and voting integrity. Illegals may be voting in the upcoming elections.

He had absolute knowledge of what he was doing—allowing million illegals to enter the United States with one purpose: to secure votes. We'll reveal how the left has engineered a system to let illegals vote. Tune in for a thought-provoking episode that tackles the tough issues head-on. This is CURE America with Star Parker—where we sort through the news to find some truth.

Noah Rothman discusses his book 'The Rise of the New Puritans' and the concept of the new Puritans as an intellectual tradition rooted in progressivism. He explains how the new Puritans seek to impose their moral framework on every aspect of society, leading to the politicization and loss of enjoyment in various areas such as entertainment, sports, and hobbies. Rothman also explores the intersection of comedy and wokeness, highlighting the importance of comedy as an area that should remain outside of woke influence. He discusses the societal problem of attributing cultural cache to persecution complexes and the impact it has on individual agency and personal responsibility.

A constitution limits the powers of government by defining and distributing its powers. However, just because a nation has a constitution does not mean that it has a constitutional government. Center for Civic Education

Regular readers of my blog know I took a course, Conservatism 101, from the Leadership Institute, which led me to read conservative literature I hadn't before: Edmund Burke, Frederic Bastiat, Friedrich Hayek, Russell Kirk, and more. This reading came after I started reading and watching Milton Friedman, Julian Simon, Ayn Rand, and current followers of their work like Marian Tupy, Gale Pooley, and Alex Epstein. I had blogged about them after reading their works too. I began seeing relevance of their work to sustainability that I don't think even their fans appreciate.At a social event, I met a woman who works at the Cato Institute. I told her of what I was learning and invited her to talk about it. She said sustainability and the environment weren't her focus, but she could put me in touch with colleagues. She knew Jack Spencer from the Heritage Foundation.I share some of my background, generally left politics, but opening up to learning more from (podcast guest) Jonathan Haidt's work, then attending an event at the Trump Bedminster Golf Course, which led to learning about the Leadership Institute. There I took Conservatism 101, which led the above.Jack shares some of his background, also not starting on the political right, and how he applies the above to politics today, especially energy, regulation, subsidy, and the motivations of government employees and what he sees happen as they gain power.We don't reach the point of talking policy. I started to bring up the Spodek Method, but became so engrossed in Jack's sharing about nature, I followed up with it, especially wondering if he experienced environmentalists saying he didn't care. He clearly cares plenty about the environment.This conversation is different than nearly any I've heard on sustainability. I think you'll like it. My main flaw was my inexperience in talking about some topics so was tongue-tied at times.Jack's profile at Heritage Foundation Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

She knew Nick Loris from when he worked at the Heritage Foundation. Now he works at C3 Solutions---the Conservative Coalition for Climate Solutions.I invited him to talk about our approaches to the environment, both our historical journeys and our philosophical views. We talked about first-principles approaches from a limited government, free market view.I haven't heard conversations like this one on sustainability.

The Justice Insiders: Giving Outsiders an Insider Perspective on Government
Host Gregg N. Sofer welcomes back to the podcast Richard Epstein, Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law at New York University Law School, and Steve Renau, Husch Blackwell's Head of Thought Leadership, to discuss the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision in Securities and Exchange Commission v. Jarkesy. The Court held 6-3 that the Seventh Amendment's guarantee of a jury trial requires the SEC to pursue civil penalties for securities-fraud violations in federal court. No longer can the SEC rely on its own in-house tribunal to secure these penalties. Although Jarkesy applies only to the SEC, the Court's reasoning could have far-reaching implications across a number of federal agencies, particularly when “the ‘public rights' exception to Article III jurisdiction does not apply.”Our discussion highlights the administrative law history that was brought to bear upon the case and how it was that the adjudication of civil penalties came to be matters before non-Article III courts. We then pivot to some of the impacts Jarkesy could have in the future, including whether the Supreme Court will take up related issues of due process in future challenges to federal agency enforcement actions.Finally, we discuss Jarkesy in light of the Supreme Court's Loper Bright decision that ended the doctrine of Chevron deference and the implications of both decisions for administrative agencies and the private businesses they regulate.Gregg N. Sofer BiographyFull BiographyGregg counsels businesses and individuals in connection with a range of criminal, civil and regulatory matters, including government investigations, internal investigations, litigation, export control, sanctions, and regulatory compliance.

I loved where this conversation led.We began by talking about recent news: Greta Thunberg taking a political stand and acting publicly on it on an issue unrelated to the environment. Guy described how he saw this action distracting and undermining her credibility in sustainability. We got to talking about overwhelming tribalism today.In the process, Guy shared views he once held that he overcame, specifically about Apartheid. We talked about ones views changing.In the end we got to Guy sharing what I read as something he's had to settle on: that while he generally prefers limited government, low tax policies, with our environmental problems, he's concluded otherwise. Like with national defense, where you need aircraft carriers and such, with the environment he's concluded we need big government solutions.I shared some of my views on big action but to limit government's ability to permit pollution. I read that the views were new to him and attractive. They led him to read my book. Sorry you have to wait until fall to read it, but what I share in this episode hints at why he's written a wonderful endorsement for the book. Hosted on Acast.
