  • Politics: Trump Shut Out as Canada & Europe Ditch the USA

    The Art of Value: Politics host JJ breaks down how traditional Western allies have been increasingly pulling away from working closely with the Trump administration, and finding ways to strengthen alliances between each other, especially between Canada and Europe.

  • Politics: Trump’s World Cup TANKING - Tourists Planning To Stay Away

    JJ’s Politics Unfiltered host JJ breaks down how the FIFA 2026 World Cup was expected to bring a huge tourism surge to the United States, as the majority of the events are being hosted in the United States. However, reports indicate that international visitors will be staying away, with hotel bookings so far much lower than expected. This is likely due to concerns and fears over ICE raids and harsh anti-immigration policies of the Trump administration, not to mention higher airfares brought by jet fuel costs, due to the Iran War.

  • Tesla Robotaxi Safety Issues Hidden as ‘Convenience Issues’

    John Johnston (JJ) breaks down how a Reuters investigation of Tesla’s unsupervised Robotaxi rollout has found long wait times, bizarre routing, and close to zero robotaxi availability across Tesla’s three-city “Robotaxi” service.

  • Elon Musk’s AI Power Grab is Collapsing

    John Johnston (JJ) breaks down the news that Elon Musk’s AI empire appears to be unraveling in real time. The current trial of Elon Musk vs Sam Altman is exposing, under oath, that Musk’s AI ambitions were never about AI safety, open access, or benefiting humanity. They have been about power and control all along.
