I’m not the biggest Trump fan, and I can’t promise he can win this November…but I do know some ways he could certainly lose.

I've said for a while now that we can't predict where this election is going because we don't yet know what it is going to be about. 

In 2016, Trump made it about immigration and Hillary's emails, and he won. 

In 2020, Biden made it about Trump and COVID, and he won.

In 2024, we couldn't predict who the winner would be until we knew what the election would be about. And now we do.

The scariest book I’ve read this year (maybe ever) is not a “horror” novel. It was a realistic fiction book called One Second After. Today, here are 5 interesting things of note about the novel One Second After (2008). Vague spoilers, but there’s a lot to talk about without spoiling the actual story within the book.

5 interesting things of note about the movie Civil War (2024). No spoilers, but there’s a lot to talk about. Hollywood may have said more than it intended to.

It’s been a little while for me to find something that I wanted to talk about. For the next few weeks, I have some thoughts. Let’s start with Dune and this business of having a “messiah” to bring. Because we already have one, and he’s Yeshua Hamashiach, not Lisan Al-Gaib. And if you have no idea what I’m talking about, go watch Dune and then listen to this podcast.

I couldn’t bring myself to vote for Trump in 2016, even though I came around to jumping on the Trump train in 2020. Why? I explain all my motivations and ethical struggles in this episode. I’ll note that I did NOT vote for Hillary Clinton either- that was never in the cards for me. But if it was Trump or staying out of it, I decided to stay out. Was that wrong?
