  • EPISODE 75: DEMOCRACY DOESN’T WORK

    Witnessing the slow demise of the American way of life makes it clear that democracy, even a constitutional republic as a version of democracy, doesn’t work. That being said, socialism is definitely not a viable alternative. If our democratic process has been a slow walk off a long cliff, then socialism is akin to Hussain Bolt sprinting towards that same cliff with a noose surround his neck and a bomb strapped to his back. So what do we do? What’s left? Do we give up? No, that’s not what I’m saying at all. What I’m saying is that you cannot create a solution to a problem you refuse to acknowledge. Why has democracy, or our constitutional republic, failed to uphold the tenets of our founding documents? Is it because of leadership? Ask yourself, “who elected them”? Is it because of the destruction of our nuclear family? Ask yourself, “who excepted it”? Is it because of socialist policies that hinder liberty? Ask yourself, “who marched in the streets demanding it? Is it because of sexual immorality? Ask yourself, “who pushed to normalized it? We are now the land of the slave and the home of the coward and we got here by way of democracy. If you believe murder is wrong, but your neighbor doesn’t share that value and you both have the right to vote, what happens to your community if your neighbor’s voice is a part of the 51%? Let’s say you believe pedophiles should be institutionalized or incarcerated, but the 51% believe that “minor attracted persons” is a sexual orientation protected under anti-discrimination laws, what recourse do you have now. It’s not any better if you flip the percentages, you still end up with 51 oppressing the 49 and that division will inevitably lead to conflict. So what’s the solution? If the problem is diametrically opposed values then the answer is shared values. Shared values unifies. Shared values offer boundaries that all choose to adhere to willingly and for the greater good. And that greater good is reached through rational assessments undergird by objective truth, historical precedent, and acknowledgement of personal property as an inalienable right. Until “we the people” come to the realization that a culturally instigated division of fundamental values is upstream from the political matrix, democracy will continue to be weaponized to destroy our republic, our liberty, and our nation.

  • EPISODE 74: DOES KAMALA HARRIS’ ETHNIC ORIGIN ACTUALLY MATTER?

    Her ethnic origin is not the issue. The issue is her recent job performance, her past job performance, her proposed policies, and her willingness to capitalize off the color of her skin and her gender, instead of the merits of her ability, to further her career.

  • EPISODE 71: FIND OUT WHAT BOOKS YOUR CHILD HAS ACCESS TO IN PUBLIC SCHOOL

    There is a concerted effort within our public school system to expose children of all ages to confusing, sexualized, unscientific, and sometimes pornographic literature and images under the umbrella of diversity and inclusion. In order to protect our children we must remain informed about the priorities of our educational institutions. As parents we are the first and last line of defense our children rely upon to ensure the safe development of their bodies, spirit, and young minds.

  • EPISODE 70: DO WOMEN’S RIGHTS ONLY MATTER WHEN CHOOSING @B0RT10N?

    I admit it, I’m confused. Can you answer this simple question and relieve me of my ignorance? Do women’s rights only matter when defending a women’s right to choose? The reason why I ask is because the advocates for women’s right to choose don’t show up to protect women under any other circumstance. This story here is a prime example of the Left’s lack of consistent conviction. A self identifying transgender nonbinary 1500 meter runner who goes by they/them pronouns just earned a spot on the women’s Olympic track team heading to Paris. This is a man competing against women who will now take the spot of a woman who will be sitting at home watching a man run in her place on the women’s team. It would seem that a man pretending to be a women has more rights than the gender he’s pretending to be. That is unless, of course, it’s the right to murder your own children, then the Leftist Progressives are all about the rights of women. Maybe if men had wombs the progressives would do away with women entirely, but I digress.

  • EPISODE 68: BANNING FOSSIL FUELS IS FOOLISH

    I wonder if environmental activist consider humanity a part of the environment. It would seem, from their proposed solutions, that they view humanity on this planet as one would view a virus within the human body. The less of us there are, the better for the environment right? Any mitigation strategy that costs human lives is not pro-environment, it’s anti-human.

  • EPISODE 67: BIDEN’S DEBATE PERFORMANCE SPURS DEMOCRATIC PANIC

    The Democratic Party and their allies have been so thoroughly immersed in lies for so long that they were completely unprepared for the reality that punched them in the gut during last night’s presidential debate. One would have to be completely detached from reality at this point to be surprised at Biden’s performance yesterday. You’d have to wonder what the Democrat’s expectations were. Maybe they believed all of that “Cheap Fake” nonsense. In spite of his last 50 appearances, did they believe that the long pauses, the incoherent gibberish, the uncontrollable vocal volume, the constant need for handling, the tripping, and the obvious confusion, were just a temporary passing phase? Seriously, where have they been all this time? I’ll tell you where they’ve been, trapped in a web of lies that now dictate their reality. Now sit back and watch what happens when their false reality is shattered and the pieces they try to fit back together no longer fit.

    Where is the wisdom in reducing a nonrenewable necessity to mitigate a potential issue that will be rendered moot if everyone starves to death?
