I HAD to say it

So I have an announcement. And then the ranting begins. I feel like the mishandling of the files by the DOJ can't be excused, at this point and as always I have thoughts.

This week I am feeling some kind of way. I'm tired. The constant distraction from real issues, the people treating each other badly, and being SO smug about it. As always I have thoughts.

This one was kind of all over the place. Something kind of cool happened for me personally and you should all go check out https://thebuffalowoolco.com/ for some truly great American made products made with genuine bison wool. Beyond that I have an announcement, and as always thoughts on the topics of the day. Do the things people

For this guest episode I sat down with Walker, the owner/operator of Tex Tactical. It is a small independent business based out of Texas that makes custom rifle accessories. Walker and I discussed 3d printing and 2nd amendment stuff. It was a little more brief that most of my guest spots, but not everyone has four hours to kill with me. Hope you guys enjoy the chat.

So the left is still interfering with ICE operations in Minneapolis. They are escalating, exactly as expected. The rhetoric from the top hasn't dialed back a bit, and exactly as I said would happen a "protestor" with a gun got himself removed from the census. And EXACTLY as I said all of a sudden the "most 2A friendly" administration is sounding decidedly not. I hate being right. As always I have thoughts.

Tom Knighton is a professional writer for bearingarms.com as well as being published in multiple places for various other news and opinion articles. Tom is a vet, a staunch 2A supporter, and frankly a generally good guy. He has a substack (tilting at windmills) as well as a youtube channel (The Fourth Rail) both of which are worthy of some of your attention. Tom first came to my attention due to the Buffalo public school systems controversy that came to light last year. For this episode I was joined by JD the bot guy, since he and Tom had an existing raport, and he is very involved in the 2A space as well. The three of us had a lovely chat and if you would like to hear the uncut version, which is about an hour and a half longer as well as every other guest spot uncut head over to the website and sign up to be a supporter of the show.

The drama in Minnesota is escalating. The leftists are arming themselves. And while I support everyone being armed, there is a right way and a wrong way to go about exercising your 2A rights. Just like there is a right way and a wrong way to protest. Also Don Lemon and a bunch of leftist clowns invaded a church to yell at the "racist christians" over ICE. As always, I have thoughts.

Well there is plenty going on in the world, I MIGHT do a second episode this week, we'll see how the week shakes out. But in this episode I primarily discuss the lady that got shot interfering with ICE in Minneapolis last week. I have thoughts about what lead to this, and explain how I got there as well as who I think is to blame for the situation. As always I have thoughts.

Well, 2026 is off to a start. There are already things to talk about and as always I have thoughts. There are more developments in the mounting Somali fraud in Minnesota, NYC swore it's commie in, and we snatched up the dictator running Venezuela. All in all the year is off to an interesting start. As usual the lefties are melting down over the wrong stuff, and championing ideals that will get them killed. And I have thoughts.

Also Cody put out a second episode of a podcast with Javi. Go check it out.

For the last episode of 2025 I decided to do something a little different. I had a round table chat with some prior guests of the show. I was joined by Cody, John Jamingo, and JD the Bot Guy to shoot the bull and talk about the past year. But mostly just shot the bull. As usual there were some issues, because it wouldn't be an I HAD to say it episode if there weren't. But it was fun. Hope you enjoy, Happy New Year, and here's to next year being better.
