  • Black Lives Matter Co-Founder Buys MILLIONS In Real Estate Across US

    BLM co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors real estate binge exposed amid Derek Chauvin trial over George Floyd death & media spotlight turning to recent events of perceived police brutality.

    The timing of this suspect financial activity for the activist leader comes at a time when support for the group is needed most as the trial of Chauvin exposes the media narrative prompting them to turn viewer attention to other instances of alleged police brutality.

    The one home in question most is the $1.4 million home in Topanga Canyon, California just outside Los Angeles which is a mostly white neighborhood.

    This also puts a spotlight on what is really happening with the organization financially after a year with record donations from individuals and corporations to support the black community

  • The Problem With Anti-MLM "Amazon Favorites" Videos

    "Amazon Favorites" YouTube video trend has taken over anti-MLM creator community.

    In this video, I touch on the dilemma this creates for a community critical of a business model in the name of being anti-scam and anti- unethical business practice because of the checked past and present of Amazon.

    Anti-MLM community member will have to answer to problems created by the following facts (all of which will be in more detail in the video): creating another income stream giving the impression they are profiting off the movement, affiliate marketing has many similarities to multi-level marketing, Amazon has taken heat for its business practices amid investigations in California, Washington, Washington D.C., and Europe and recent union activity at an Alabama warehouse, & Amazon founder Jeff Bezos now being the richest man in the world.

    I do not claim to be part of the anti-MLM community or pro-MLM community as this video and previous videos (including "Defending Kimbyrleigha & Calling Out Anti-MLM Creators", "Is Anti-MLM...Anti-WOMEN?!", "Anti-MLM Community Proven RIGHT?! (Top 1% Story)") suggest I have a range of opinions on the subject. I believe there is good and bad to both sides and choose to talk about this subject accordingly.

    I do not support calling an entire group of people "huns", "hunbots", "scammers", etc. or the overuse of the phrase "horror story" by the anti-MLM community. I also believe there are many aspects of MLMs that need to change including recruitment & sales tactics, product claims, and the reality of the business opportunity.

    This companies in this industry is also referred to as Network Marketing, Social Selling, Pyramid Schemes, and more.

  • Impact of James Charles "holding myself accountable" Apology Video

    James Charles' latest scandal apology video "holding myself accountable" sparked reactions & conversations around many important topics regarding legal age of consent, power dynamics/inbalance between YouTubers/celebrities/famous people/influencers and their followers/fans/customers, and more.

    In this video I give my thoughts on James' video addressing the scandal which could lead to legal action against him by families of victims of his inappropriate behavior toward minors. I also address some criticsm by other commentary channels who have been covering this story and their thoughts on if people should still support James from fans and followers to companies like Morphe who partners with James Charles for his makeup brand "James Charles X Morphe".

    James Charles has been a leader in the emergence of men wearing makeup ever since the beginning of his career doing a mainstream campaign for Covergirl to his appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show before becoming an internet sensation.

    Although this may prove to be his biggest scandal yet, James has been involved with plenty of high profile drama from "Dramageddon" involving Tati Westbrook, Jeffree Star and other beauty influencers to recent backlash involving TikTok stars (TikTokers) turned YouTube stars (YouTubers) Dixie and Charlie D'amelio in a video he did with the D'amelio family.

  • YouTube Trends: "Engagement" Beggars

    Recently YouTubers have been either begging for likes, comments, subscriptions & notification bell rings or not asking at all.

    In this episode I share which strategy I have been using recently and why.

    This subject is in addition to another video I've done recently regarding my thoughts on YouTube growth (Why Is Without A Crystal Ball GAINING Subscribers?) & the YouTube growth community in general [Channel Makers vs. Annie Dubé (YouTube Shorts Advice Splits Growth Channels)].

  • Kamala Harris Laughs & Joe Biden Stumbles (Migrant Border Crisis & California School Reopening)

    Vice President Kamala Harris' laugh at border crisis & school reopening Qs + President Joe Biden's stumbles up Air Force One become latest run of bad optics for the new White House administration amid mounting pressure on many fronts.

    VP Harris was on a publicity tour for public health (including vaccine safety ) when pressed about the ongoing crisis at the US/Mexico border broke into what seemed to be a nervous laugh. This same laugh (some would say a cackle) emerged again this week at an event regarding the children of America returning to in person learning across the country amid revelations in San Diego County, California of migrant children just entering the country in 2021 being taught in person at the San Diego Convention Center before school-age American citizens.

    President Biden has been the subject of concern too after two recent stumbles up Air Force One; one that was a series of three stumbles leading to him falling on his knees, the other just days ago in the rain while carrying an umbrella in one hand and what appeared to be a luggage bag in the other but not resulting in the same severity of fall as the previous incident.

  • Channel Makers vs. Annie Dubé (YouTube Shorts Advice Splits Growth Channels)

    Growth advice channels Annie Dubé & Channel Makers (Nate) different Shorts opinion led to fallout w/ lessons learned for viewers, aspiring YouTubers, & content creators of all levels.

    Channel Makers w/ Nate & Annie Dubé both have channels dedicated to helping YouTube content creators grow to success on the platform. Nate has been diving into YouTube Shorts on his channel through case studies, analytics, and personal experience while Annie has been sticking to topics outside Shorts until last week when she decided to share her opinion on the subject.

    Annie's video titled "Why I DON’T Use YouTube Shorts! (and why you shouldn’t either)" prompted Nate to do a reaction video which led to fallout leaving one video public and one not public. Nate's video "My Response to Annie Dubé: Why I DON’T Use YouTube Shorts" has since become public again.

    In this video I share my thoughts on the situation and lessons to learn as a viewer, aspiring content creator, and/or current content creator from handling differing opinions to the copyright system on YouTube.

  • Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Jennifer Lopez, Alex Rodriguez & Madison LeCroy Rumor Mill

    Prince Harry & Meghan Markle post-interview rumors + Jennifer Lopez & Alex Rodriguez cheating allegations w/ Madison LeCroy.

    In this episode, I share my thoughts on Meghan Markle potentially running for office as a Democrat in America and how this supports my theory in my last video "Oprah SAVES Prince Harry & Meghan Markle's American TAKEOVER". Also, I share my thoughts on cheating allegations involving Southern Charm star Madison LeCroy and Alex Rodriguez who was engaged to Jennifer Lopez at the time, in which she signed an NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) after her interaction with Alex via DM (direct message), along with other theories that have gained traction as a result of this brewing scandal.

  • Why Is Without A Crystal Ball GAINING Subscribers?

    Katie Joy (KJ, Without A Crystal Ball) is growing despite lawsuits, lash outs, drama, & debunking of her videos.

    After seeing many comments on my channel and other channels (including Trueballofwax) inquiring about why people may still be subscribing & watching her videos, I decided to break down the reasons I think this is happening.

    Katie Joy often talks about TLC reality shows and their stars such as; Sister Wives (Kody Brown & his four wives Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn), the Duggar family of “19 Kids and Counting” (Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, Jill and Jessa Duggar, Jill and Derick Dillard, Jessa and Ben Seewald, Anna Duggar), the Roloff family from “Little People, Big World” (Matthew Roloff, Amy Roloff, Jeremy and Audrey Roloff, Zach and Tori Roloff, Molly Roloff, Jacob Roloff and Isabel Sofia Rock), and more.

    Recently, she was the subject of headlines as she defended a defamation lawsuit brought by beauty influencer Tati Westbrook and her husband James Westbrook but has continued with similar behavior despite the seriousness of the matter. That story continues to develop and will most likely not be the last time legal issues arise for Katie Joy or her channel Without A Crystal Ball.

    Very recently, the anti-KJ (anti-Katie Joy) community has also been in the headlines for infighting in ways similar to what some in the community once called out Katie for, a trend I’ve seen in other communities including anti-MLM (anti-multilevel marketing) and anti-family vlogging.

  • Andrew Cuomo Should NOT Resign.

    Andrew Cuomo misconduct accusers + nursing home scandal have increased calls for him to resign, I do not agree. In this episode, I will share the reasons I believe this.

    Both sides of the political aisle (including Democrats; New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio, New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand & Chuck Schumer, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), and more) are publicly supporting investigations into the allegations of misconduct in the workplace which could lead to criminal action against the Governor of the State of New York.

    His administration is also under investigation for allegedly manipulating nursing home death data last year which could shine a light on the direct impact of his policies on elderly in his state.

    His press conferences recently moved to phone only with mounting pressure from the media as he takes questions, a stark contrast to the media treatment he received only a few months ago before allegations surfaced.

    This comes months after he wrote and published a book about his handling of the pandemic called "American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic" which is now being heavily scrutinized.

  • Nick (Kyle) On Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy & Penn National Gaming ($PENN)

    Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy, & Penn National Gaming show no sign of slowing as they join S&P 500 on stock exchanges despite a past, present, and surely a future of hit pieces & stereotyping for the brands.

    In this episode, I address recently being incorrectly stereotyped as a "Kyle" (same method used to for the "Chad" stereotype) in response to criticism of recent videos of mine, by highlighting the Barstool brand that I have been enjoying lately to the point of buying $PENN stock.

    Barstool Sports has grown to include content not only in sports commentary (College Football Show, Unnecessary Roughness, Spittin' Chiclets, Pardon My Take, Back Again With Troopz, Foreplay), gambling, eSports gaming, lifestyle (Call Her Daddy with Alex Cooper, KFC Radio), pop culture (Chicks in the Office, Because We Got High, BFFs with Josh Richards & Dave Portnoy, Schnitt Talk, The Dave Portnoy Show with Eddie & Co, Barstool Rundown), but also is expanding its sports gambling & betting presence in states with Penn properties where gambling is becoming legal by opening Barstool Sportsbooks Retail locations in Colorado, Indiana, Illinois & Michigan with a corresponding App in Pennsylvania so far.

    You've probably seen more of Dave Portnoy lately due to his public appearances on cable news due to his viral videos on his thoughts during last year from lockdowns to the stock market. In 2021 he has been prominent in speaking out against the CEO of Robinhood in support of retail stock traders accompanying his Davey Day Trader Global (DDTG) livestreaming of his life as a day trader.
