Ep.165: So Many Dumb Things!

Ep.165: So Many Dumb Things!

Biden self owns on the border and possibly gifts Trump with $200 Billion dollars! Also, Arizona Supreme Court is giving Alabama's a run for it's money in the Dumbest American Court competition.

SIDE NOTE: Klitschko Loves Trump?

SIDE NOTE: Klitschko Loves Trump?

Mayor of Kyiv, Vitaly Klitschko, says Trump might be 'good' for Ukraine. It isn't his opinion, it's social media's disgusting response that has me riled up.

Ep.164: What's So Hard About This?

Ep.164: What's So Hard About This?

Trump wobbles on Abortion. Lefties point to hypocrisy. Cons act betrayed. MAGA? They don't care.

Also, Trump says he wants immigrants from "nice countries" like Denmark, Switzerland...

Ep.163: Biden's Weaknesses

Biden threatens conditional aide to Israel and achieves results. What took so long?

Also, Biden vs The Supreme Court: Student Loans Pt 2!

Ep. 162: What The F***! Supreme Court Grants Fascism A Win

Ep. 162: What The F***! Supreme Court Grants Fascism A Win

Supreme Court screws the pooch while Dems continue to whine as our country descends further into Authoritarianism. I take everyone to task from Obama to Biden, Kagan to Jackson, Pelosi to Cheney, no one is immune today.

Feb 29, 202423:14
Ep.161: War Games

Ep.161: War Games

Trump talks about ending NATO. How did we get here? Mostly because of George W Bush.

STEP 1: Invoke The 25th Ep.160 02/09/2024

If this was Trump you'd be calling for his removal. Memory issues are bad and only going to get worse.

Ep. 159: The Border

Ep. 159: The Border

The GOP blew up their own bill in the House and Senate. Biden is catering to the Right's whims. Exploitation of human beings is normal in our system.

Feb 08, 202426:28
Ep.158: We Are All So Screwed

Ep.158: We Are All So Screwed

Biden has a bad moment during a press conference. GOP faceplants twice in one day.

Ep.157: I'm Not Going To Plug For Biden

Ep.157: I'm Not Going To Plug For Biden

It's easy for us to sit back and tell Muslim-Americans that things would be 1000 times worse under Trump and they should really vote for Biden. We have no skin in the game. It isn't our family and friends being killed overseas. So while I will vote for Biden, I'm certainly not going to pour energy into convincing others that they should too.

Feb 06, 202427:20
Ep.156: Recovery From Biden

Ep.156: Recovery From Biden

President Biden attacked Ansar Allah in Yemen without Congressional Approval. He says he is the champion for Democracy against Trump, but his actions suggest it isn't as black and white as he would have you believe.

Ep.154: You're Dismissed!

Ep.154: You're Dismissed!

My Seahawks lost... and are lost. Sorry for so much football, but I noticed something with Patrick Mahomes getting some treatment Tom Brady never did for doing the same thing... Wonder what the difference could be?

Also, Dems keep dismissing concerns of voters. If Joe Biden wants people's votes, he's going to have to earn them. He has to embrace some change.

Dec 11, 202301:03:10
Ep.153: Nice Rights You Have There...

Ep.153: Nice Rights You Have There...

I discuss the last days of the Voting Rights Act, House Democrats plan to run on Social Security, Nicki Haley's war with TikTok, and the Right's ongoing attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris.

Ep.152 2016 Part TWO: Electric Boogaloo

Is TikTok to blame for youth hating Biden? Are these 3rd Party candidates hurting Biden? Is it really Ageism that's hurting Biden? I try and explain what's being missed by the Democratic Establishment.

Side Note: Episode 1

New Side Note format. Basically, just me going off without any type of script or notes about whatever is on my mind. In the future I'll be publishing weekly as the daily idea I've had and been trying to implement for the better part of two years simply isn't practical for my circumstances. Finally, here are the links to the articles I specifically talk about. Apologies if you get pay-walled.

Ep.145: Doomed To Repeat

2008, 2016, 2024. All the same mistakes all over again. Are we headed for a Trump victory and the end of Democracy?

Ep.144 We're Not The Roman Empire (Yet), We're The Library of Alexandria

Ep.144 We're Not The Roman Empire (Yet), We're The Library of Alexandria

Lots of talk about the Roman Empire on social media lead to a lot of opinion pieces about how the Roman Empire is a perfect metaphor for the United States. I disagree. I think the better analogy is the Great Library of Alexandria.

Ep.142 09-21-2023

More women in the police won't fix what's wrong with the police. Kevin can't pass a budget with only Republicans. The Generals need to take a stand. India and Canada are having a moment.

Ep.141 09-20-2023

Ep.141 09-20-2023

Speaker McCarthy has no leadership style other than to abdicate and punt to someone, anyone else. Biden and Jinping both skip UN Climate Summit. Dems still fumbling on UAW Strike.

Ep. 140 09-19-2023

Ep. 140 09-19-2023

Trump is going to skip the next GOP debate and instead make a speech to the United Auto Workers. He's selling his faux-populism to anyone who will buy. I explain why this is bad news for the country, but especially for the Democratic Party in the upcoming Presidential election.

Sep 19, 202327:37

Ep.139: 09-18-2023

Does the Republican Party deserve blame for the Child Tax Credit expiring and not being renewed?

Ep.138: What Are They Afraid Of?

Ep.138: What Are They Afraid Of?

The Radical Left wants to take away your guns, your hamburgers, your family, your home. The Radical Left wants to control how you think, where you think. The Radical Left is going to take away your rights.

Except, that never happens. The Left never takes anything away. In the entire history of the United States, the only time something was taken away, was the Civil War taking away Conservatives Right to own another human being.

So why does the Right constantly think we're coming for them? What have we done to receive this criticism? Clarence Thomas was so afraid of protesters outside his home, he ran towards the friendly arms of his own Billionaire's private jet. Why does a Supreme Court Justice think the people would be so angry with him that they'd want to do him or his home harm?

Ep.137: The Gerontocracy Is Expanding To Meet The Needs Of The Expanding Gerontocracy

Yea, this one is going to get me into trouble. We have an age problem in the Senate and one in the Presidency. What can we do about that? Is there anything to be done? Would any rule we put in place just end up oppressing or silencing someone?

Mitch McConnell had another moment of freezing during questions from the Press. Dianne Feinstein has been having her own senior moments amid accusations of elder abuse.

Ep.136: The Stupidest Senator

Ep.136: The Stupidest Senator

Tommy Tuberville likes to be called "coach" because he coached football for 40 years. He also thinks he isn't racist because he coached football and when he told young black men what to do, they always did it. That means he can't be racist, right?

He also thinks the Pentagon is breaking the law AND doing things that are Unconsitutional at the same time, but won't bring a law suit to get the Supreme Court involved to settle that dispute. Could it be because his staff and own Party leadership are telling him they're not actually doing anything wrong?

I'm in Alabama now. I REALLY wanted to talk about that instead of white supremacy and gun control, but this guy in Jacksonville ruined my plans.


What will it take to end this? Even simple gun control legislation seems impossible. What will it take to move the needle even a little bit? History gives us one indication.

WH Press Secretary kept going out of her way to emphasize the Biden-Harris Administration. Not the Biden Administration. Not Joe. Not President Biden. The Biden-Arris Administration. Every alarm bell in my head was going off. He's not running. Or he is about to kick Harris off the ticket and is trying to pump her up before dumping her back to California.
