• Four-hour VA trip, funeral processions, single-highway choke points
• Fanboys vs normies: who these films are for
• What made Predator and Predator 2 work
• Predators and Prey as better pivots than jokes and lore dumps

Are Democrats trying to find their version of President Trump with Katie Porter? Instead of focusing on a stable platform and authenticity, liberals are putting their hopes in a brash, take no prisoner candidate, with similarities to Trump. The problem is; ego, directness and attitude is all she has in common with President Trump. Common sense, fortitude and leadership qualities are what's missing from Porters tool box. Plus her minor attracted ideology is just evil. We call out the gap between viral performance and trustworthy leadership, using fresh political clips to ask whether we’re rewarding the wrong traits. We connect the dots across media spin, California’s stakes, cultural drift in schools and faith, and what accountability should look like.

• party labels clashing with behavior and policy
• authenticity versus arrogance in public office
• media clips shaping trust and voting choices
• California governance as stress test for leadership
• culture shifts in schools, faith, and public norms
• how contempt on camera predicts policy failure
• practical ways to judge character beyond clips

Look her up, Katie Porter. Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you next time. God bless, and bye

We dig into the legend of John Tornow, the “Wild Man of Wenatchee,” tracing his path from solitary woodsman to hunted figure, and how panic, press, and poor choices drove a deadly spiral. Along the way we reflect on pop culture fatigue, reboots, and why old stories still hit harder than new ones.

• brief catch-up and pop culture notes including ratings dips and reboot fatigue
• why theaters are re-releasing classics and how audiences changed
• introduction to John Tornow and source materials
• childhood isolation, tracking skill, and growing estrangement from family
• the twins’ deaths and competing theories of mistake versus intent
• posse hysteria, media labels, and escalation of fear
• the grocery-store break-in, missing strongbox, and rising rewards
• killing of officers and the tactical advantage of a woodsman
• Quimby’s negotiation, betrayal, and Tornow’s final moments
• morgue spectacle, family reactions, and myth-making
• the lost treasure mystery and the river’s shifting course
• closing thoughts on adapting real histories instead of remaking tired franchises

• overview of the anonymous “war on men” article
• examples from Promising Young Woman, Barbie, Indy, He‑Man and festival films
• bait‑and‑switch writing and flawless heroine tropes
• statistics on harassment, homelessness, suicide and male victimhood
• intimate partner violence data vs cinematic portrayals

The Philippines is experiencing protests against government corruption as citizens demand accountability for embezzled flood control project funds and the resulting ineffective infrastructure during typhoon season.

• Politicians and contractors inflate project costs and pocket the difference
• Barangay captains (neighborhood officials) often neglect their responsibilities
• Political assassinations occur regularly, particularly against contractors
• The country has towns known for "killers for hire" who carry out contract killings
• Recent contractor killings may be attempts to silence potential witnesses
• Consumer products in the Philippines often seem to be lower quality than identical brands in Western markets
• Corruption investigations rarely reach high-level politicians who orchestrate schemes
• Citizens are increasingly connecting failed infrastructure to officials' sudden wealth

If you have experiences with corruption or quality issues in the Philippines, I'd love to hear your perspective. Connect with me through my podcast platform Buzz Sprout or leave a comment.

Life in the Philippines brings unique challenges from typhoon flooding to cultural differences in healthcare and social events, while media bias continues to divide people across the world.

• Organic protests in the Philippines focus on genuine issues like corruption in infrastructure projects that worsen flooding problems
• Filipino pageants and cultural events are frequent community gatherings that differ greatly from American traditions
• The Philippine healthcare system requires family members to stay with patients and provide care that nurses would handle in the US
• Different towns have varying infrastructure quality, with some having proper climate control while others lack basic amenities
• Media coverage of violent incidents shows clear bias, with left-leaning outlets omitting key details like the perpetrator shouting "Free Palestine"
• California politics may impact family members planning to establish a medical practice there
• The podcast aims to maintain regular episodes every few days rather than longer gaps

Just accept Jesus into your heart, be Catholic, pray the rosary and you'll be all right.
