It's time to face the music. Our culture has taken a radical shift in the wrong direction over the past few years. There are now multiple truth claims as it relates to sex and gender and these claims are battling it out in the marketplace of ideas.
This episode will cover how our institutions interact with our children when it comes to this very critical issue. Our Government, local schools, the media, medical hospitals, entertainment, corporate America, sports, and many other organizations have quickly adopted the LGBTQIA+ agenda with little consideration to how this impacts our youth. The question at hand remains; is this ideology harmful to children? Why have we witnessed such a drastic change in recent years and what can we do about it?
Dr. Albert Mohler once stated, "if you want to reach people with an ideological agenda, you will have to get them as young as possible, so that you can have as much control as possible."
Like it or not, this is an issue that is not going away anytime soon. It must be confronted with a steadfast combination of grace and grit. Our future depends on it.

Today's episode is called the "10-minute download." A quick and concise analysis of a popular topic that many in the general public have gotten wrong. The gender wage gap discussion has been going on for decades. We've been told that women make only 77 cents for every dollar a man makes. Is that statement true? False? Incomplete?
Is there a gender wage gap? Are women paid less than men to do the same work? If that were the case, wouldn't companies simply hire a larger proportion of women and save nearly 20- 25% on the bottom line?
The "pay gap" is actually an "earnings gap" and the reason for this gap is primarily due to individual choices. Not sexism or discrimination. When individual choices are taken into consideration, the gap nearly vanishes.
This episode is intended to provide a spark to research this issue further. Hope you enjoy and don't forget to rate the podcast!

Today's episode will lay out a comprehensive pro-life argument for the 21st century. We'll focus on our current understanding of embryology, bio-ethics, abortion as a civil rights issue, and how we can properly define what it means to be a member of the human family.
If you already agree with the pro-life proposition and are searching for arguments to defend your position, this episode is for you. If you are on the fence, yet curious to know if there is more to the issue than what is projected in the media, this episode is for you.
I hope you find this episode helpful, informative, and heartfelt.

This is the second installment of "Flatten the Curve | Life After Covid" which was recorded in May of 2020. I took another listen to that episode with a fresh set of ears and came to the immediate conclusion that I was dead wrong on some predictions and incredibly naive on others. I was hopeful we would use the pandemic to restore trust in our institutions and create a strong sense of national identity. On this episode I lay out the pivotal moment when Covid messaging was lost and credibility never recovered.. This episode will bring the fire to the White House, CDC, Mainstream Media, and Big Tech.

Today's episode will cover a list of government conspiracies that are actually true. We first set the table and define the differences between “conspiracy” and “conspiracy theory.”
Every event discussed on this episode is a verified fact ; however, this was not always the case. That’s because as the years pass, secrets surface and what was once considered a “theory” now becomes a verifiable fact. Government documents eventually become declassified, and through the Freedom of Information Act, "we the people" are able to obtain clarity of high level and often times elaborate schemes and conspiracies.
These events --along with others-- have shaped our history and have contributed to public distrust in both government and our institutions at large.
This episode will cover the following events:
Operation Sea Spray: US Navy sprayed bacteria over the San Francisco Bay Area in California.
Project MKultra: CIA’s top secret mind control program.
The 1953 Iranian coup d’état: US and UK intelligence agencies stage riots and install regime change.
The Gulf of Tonkin Incident: The fictitious attack which drastically expanded the Vietnam War.
Operation Northwoods: The proposed “false flag” to invade Cuba
The Tuskegee Syphilis Study: US Government lied about treating black men with syphilis for four decades.
Government Sponsored Poisoning: The US Department of the Treasury poisoned alcohol during Prohibition.
Bonus Round:
Bayer knowingly sold blood-clotting agents infected with HIV to Asia and Latin America in the 1980s.

America is on the move like never before. For many, the driver is as much political as it is economic. According to the U.S. Census Bureau; California, New York, New Jersey, Michigan and Illinois lost a combined 4 million residents between 2010 and 2019.
The term "Leftugee" has been coined to describe citizens who are leaving predominately Blue States for Red States. On this episode, we will be covering the top five reasons why this might be the case and uncover a few interesting (and strange) findings along the way. For example, in California, consumers pay a 33% tax on fruit when it’s purchased from a vending machine.

The US/Mexico border has quickly turned into a public-health calamity, humanitarian catastrophe, and a national-security crisis. The current statistics are staggering and unprecedented — but behind the numbers sits a vast criminal enterprise profiting off the lives of human beings.
US-Mexico criminal organizations earned nearly $14M a day last month trafficking women, children, families and single adults.
Many migrants are subject to “debt bondage” which equates to indentured servitude once they’ve entered the US. This occurs when migrants agree to work off a debt they have accrued. Traffickers then continue to compound interest and other charges to what appears to be a simple employment agreement.
Trafficking and human smuggling is a multi-billion dollar criminal business operated by the cartels and their money is washed by Chinese money brokers. Chinese banks have emerged to become key players in laundering money for Latin American drug cartels.
These conditions create a perfect storm of vulnerability — and the stories of abuse and sexual violence are enough to stain your soul. Nearly 70% of migrants travelling north to the United States are victims of violence (2019 WH Report).
Border security and immigration are often conflated into a singular talking point — however, they are two distinct issues and require separate examination. We cannot continue to engineer conditions under which nefarious actors and prey on and profit from other human beings. Take a stand and let your voice be heard.

On today's episode we examine the impacts of the so called "Tax the Rich" movement in American politics. It's an argument that has been going on since the 1920's and the basic justifications have not changed. Is there any evidence that lowering tax rates increases tax revenues? Preview: "The rich," higher-income taxpayers paid more — I repeat, MORE tax revenues into the federal treasury under the lower tax rates than they had under the previous higher tax rates. Buckle up for a wild ride!
