Messy Times

We are honored to be joined in the studio on Karl Marx's birthday by Kyra Tarr, a young South African journalist.

She shares her keen insights into the current state of her nation's social dysfunction and provides some excellent color for those unfamiliar with the recent history of South African politics as to how a nation full of such promise under Nelson Mandela has slid so far so fast.

Tune in for a riveting discussion! There is hope for us all yet, if the 20-somethings across the world can apply their enthusiasm, optimism and skills towards productive ends in free societies largely unburdened by invasive, smothering governments. 

We can think of any number of youngsters - including in Congress - who would do well to change their behaviors and attitudes to be more in line with Kyra's comprehension of the inevitable misery created by Socialism and divisive identity politics. 

In one more bizarre lurch into societal chaos, the New York State Legislature changed bail rules in January 2020.

There are some compelling arguments to reform the bail system but removing it entirely has proven to be disastrous. By tying judges' hands when it comes to setting bail terms - which are an excellent way to ensure that the alleged offender turns up for his or her court appearance - more truly dangerous people are arrested and instantly set free.

One excellent judge - Louis Nock - decided that in the case of evil scumbag Jordan Burnette who went on an 11-day vandalism spree targeting synagogues, these stupid "bail reforms" made no sense, so he set bail at $20,000. 

Two days later, another Judge - Tara Collins - released the fine, upstanding Jew-Hater Burnette from jail on his own recognizance. 

We at Messy Times are sadly sure that we've not heard the last from Mr. Burnette. We're doubting the next news about his interactions with the broader society is going to be positive. We feel for all his victims in Riverdale and the broader Jewish community who now have a much clearer sense of how much their own State Legislature doesn't care about them in the slightest. 

World-renowned capital markets expert and original fintech visionary joins Messy Times for a wide ranging discussion anchored in human freedom, intelligent choice and the development of the human experience.  Patrick has taken a break from finishing his recent book Victory or Death and his weekly podcast IPO VID, to share with us his thoughts on the vagaries of global economic development. 

Exchanges! Centralized bureaucracy! The stifling hand of the Administrative State versus the chaotic and delightful benefits to be had from distributed knowledge and - GASP! - an educated, thoughtful citizenry!  

Plus Slartibartfast's rationale for setting some important things wrong.

Tune in - politicians and the news media will lie to you. Your friends at Messy Times - and their illustrious guests - never will.

We at Messy Times are baffled at what we endure on behalf of you, our wonderful listeners. We have volunteered to throw ourselves on the grenade of fake news and nonsensical propaganda so that you don't have to be exposed to these lies directly. 

But we wonder why the media establishment both holds normal Americans in such contempt and why they think Americans are so stupid as to believe every single lie they tell.

We had to respond to the appalling idiocy of whoever is in charge at CBS for the full hour of ridiculous lies told on April 5th's "60 Minutes" about Florida, the Last Free American State and its rational, steady and effective Governor Ron DeSantis.

Join us for a brief but thorough rebuttal of the distortions and outright lies that CBS provided to you, the apparently too stupid to realize you're being lied to American public.

We are delighted to have Bill O'Herron, LCSW, join us for a spirited discussion ranging from one's connection to self, to how that better confrontation with one's primal reality enables better relationships with the people in our lives and how - stretching it a bit - society itself can either tear itself apart or take meaningful steps towards improvement.

Meditation! Pootie Tang's greatest hits! The Tao of Dodging Plates! The higher apes' approach to reproduction!

It's all here!  Join us for a spirited discussion sure to annoy as many as it delights!

Our favorite New Yorker, Heshy Tischler joins us in the studio to talk in more depth about the horrendous King Cuomo, why New York has been infected for decades with Bad Ideas and why honorable Americans need to stand up to the blatant totalitarian nonsense all around us.

Have a listen before we all get thrown in jail for sedition.

Was there ever a mythical age of Honest Journalism?

Were H.L. Mencken and Mike Wallace truly the objective reporters of fact that we remember them to be?

Today's press is pure fiction and they wonder why the vast majority of Americans call them Fake News. A phrase, by the way, which The Donald did not invent and examples of which go back centuries. Usually in relation to politics, curiously enough...

Ron DeSantis calmly FOLLOWED THE ACTUAL SCIENCE so Floridians are now free citizens of the The Last Free American State while mostly Democrat Governors and Mayors continue to destroy children's lives and the economy for no reason at all, illegally and immorally enforcing house arrest on tens of millions of people who should be at work and school. Naturally, the media hates him. 

Andrew Cuomo lied, lied, lied and committed Federal crimes by failing to report accurate COVID death statistics to the CDC. He won an Emmy and spent his time writing a book about how great he is.

For the etymologically inclined, we invite you to ferret out your favorite historical examples of taradiddlers and ultracrepidarians and drop us a note about them.  The earliest confirmed example will win a Messy Times t-shirt made of the softest cotton and emblazoned with our logo. Make all the kids crazy with jealousy! 

Until then, and more substantively, start paying attention to local politics and vote these clowns out of office. Let's restore Freedom. 

Not only do Shutdown Democrats want America's children uneducated and the working class to be permanently unemployed, but they'd prefer us all to pay $8 per gallon for gasoline as well. 

With a swipe of a - very busy - Executive Pen, Unifier Biden destroyed the Keystone Pipeline project, thereby eliminating a direct 11,000 jobs along with countless others who supported the pipeline workers. Oh, and simultaneously he ordered a 60-day moratorium on granting new oil & gas drilling licenses, to further destroy America's energy independence and the low retail gasoline prices that come with it. 

Not only are Americans going to pay more for gasoline during a government-caused recession based on flawed nonsense about virus statistics, but the poorest Americans will be hit hardest by soaring energy costs.

When challenged by a reporter who clearly lost his BUG Permissible Questions Memo, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki brushed aside his concerns. Biden while cancelling the Pipeline made noises about "great green jobs" which will be "better" than those horrible, high-paying pipeline construction and operations jobs.

The reporter - reasonably, in our opinion - asked Psaki if she had a phone number those instantly-fired workers could call to get those great green jobs.

She did not.
