Episode 49 – I Thought This Was America

In this episode, I discuss Elon Musk's recent "tweet" supporting a post that calls for replacing our democracy with a republic run by High-Status, High-T males.  Are you surprised?  Elon Musk is not starting a movement.  He is riding a wave that has been gaining momentum since the end of slavery.

Episode 46 - Dad Puts Antifreeze in Daughter's Milk To Avoid Child Support

In Episode 46, I discuss the recent reports that students who identify as “furries” at the Mt. Nebo Middle School in Payson, Utah were disrupting class by biting and licking their classmates.  According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, “furries are people who dress up in a costume resembling an anthropomorphic animal, or animals with human-like features.” The Mt. Nebo school district denies the allegations. Still, over 2,700 signatures were captured on a Change.org petition requesting that the school district enforce its dress code, which prohibits students from wearing furry customs. 

Is this just a way for students to have a little fun, or are we witnessing the disaggregation of American society? Listen and let me know your thoughts.

Episode 46 - Dad Puts Antifreeze in Daughter's Milk To Avoid Child Support

In this episode, I discuss a recent story from WSB-TV from Tyisha Fernandes.  Ms. Fernandes reported that an Atlanta-area man named Curtis Jack had put anti-freeze in his daughter's milk in hopes of ending his child support requirement.  This story reads like a Greek Myth.  Listen and give me your feedback.

Episode 45 - Angela Chao - Victim of the Illuminati Silent War

Angela Chao, sister-in-law to Mitch McConnell, the former GOP Senate Minority Leader, was a prominent figure in American politics for the past three decades. As CEO of Foremost Company, she led a global shipping enterprise. Her sister, Elaine Chao, is married to McConnell and has held significant roles in the U.S. government, serving as Secretary of Labor under George W. Bush from 2001 to 2009 and Secretary of Transportation under Donald Trump from 2017 to 2021. Tragically, Angela passed away after her Tesla vehicle submerged in a pond on her business property, with neither she nor the first responders able to open the vehicle's doors or windows. Shortly after this incident, Mitch McConnell resigned from his leadership position but chose to continue serving as Kentucky's senior senator. This episode examines the complex political dynamics surrounding McConnell's resignation, which occurred just two days following Angela's untimely death, an event he cited as a pivotal reason for his departure. The question remains: was her death a mere accident, or does it carry a deeper, more ominous message? Listen to this episode, and let me know if I am crazy!

Episode 44 - Supreme Court - Endgame

Whether the United States remains a republic or has evolved into a democracy is a subject of scholarly debate. Since the pivotal Bush vs. Gore case, some analysts suggest a gradual shift towards authoritarianism. The Supreme Court has played a significant role in this perceived shift by prioritizing federal authority over state rights, reminiscent of the centralization efforts during the Civil War era. The historical tension between state sovereignty and federal oversight has deep roots, with President Abraham Lincoln's assassination often attributed to his stance on state powers post-war. Historically, the U.S. functioned as a confederation where state citizenship preceded national identity. This structure was transformed to fortify the nation, arguably diminishing the individual's influence. Entities like the Federal Reserve oversee monetary policy, and the income tax system operates without explicit constitutional sanction. Cases like Trump vs. Andersen highlight ongoing debates about constitutional freedoms and the original intent of the nation's founders.

Episode 43 - The Worst Story of 2023 That You Never Heard

In this episode, we discuss the August 10, 2023 case where Quantavious Eason, a 10-year-old Black boy from Senatobia, Mississippi, was arrested after he urinated behind his mother’s car while she was inside a local business.

Four Senatobia police officers arrested the third grader when they saw him urinating in a public parking lot beside his mother’s car. Despite his mother being present after the incident, the officers put the 10-year-old in the back of their squad car and booked him into a cell before releasing him.
Paige Williams, the Tate County Youth Court prosecutor, took the case and cited Quantavious as a “child in need of services.” According to Quantavious’s attorney, Williams threatened to upgrade the citation to “disorderly conduct” if the family pushed for a trial.

Where are the adults in the room? If this isn’t the biggest waste of tax dollars and a serious abuse of power, I don’t know what it is!

In this episode, I discuss Harry and Meghan's May 19, 2023, NYC car chase they had with the media. The car chase parallels the fatal August 31, 1997, car chase that killed Harry's mother, Princess Diana, in ways many of you have never considered. In this episode, I speculate that Harry's NYC chase is a dry run for MI6, who some believe played a role in killing Princess Diana.
