Debunking the Housing Affordability Myth

In this episode of 'The Tenth Man', the host tackles the pervasive myth that housing has become unaffordable for younger generations due to the actions of Baby Boomers. By dissecting misleading comparisons often circulated by influencers, the host argues that the quality, size, and features of modern homes have drastically evolved from those in 1970, making direct price comparisons invalid. The episode also addresses how influencers use deceptive statistics to stir outrage and asserts that affordable housing options still exist. The key takeaway is that today's housing narrative lacks truth and is driven by misinformation aimed at generating clicks rather than offering genuine guidance.

The Lone Star Tick Myth and America’s Deer Crisis

A 47-year-old New Jersey man ate a hamburger at a backyard barbecue and died a few hours later.
 The media blamed the Lone Star Tick.
 Then they blamed climate change.
 Both claims collapse under the slightest scrutiny.

In this episode of The Tenth Man, we break down the truth behind Alpha-gal syndrome — the delayed meat allergy caused when ticks transfer a mammalian sugar molecule into the human bloodstream. It’s not venom, it’s not a toxin, and it’s not a climate artifact. Any tick can spread it, and the real vector isn’t the tick at all — it’s the deer.

We look at America’s 100-fold deer population explosion, why ticks simply follow deer into suburbs, and how “majestic” deer have become attractive vermin spreading disease. We dive into invasive species introduced by well-meaning animal lovers, the media’s lazy climate-change scapegoating, and the political regulations that choke hunters while protecting the very practices that spread disease.

From baiting bans to crop-damage permits to the absurd Sandhill Crane law that makes it illegal to eat a bird you were ordered to kill — this episode exposes how wildlife policy has been hijacked by feelings over science.

Hunters enter the woods this week to protect public health.
 The government? Not so much.

When the British burned the White House in 1814, it was an act of war.
 When Donald Trump builds a ballroom in 2025, it’s treated like one.

This episode of The Tenth Man dismantles the media hysteria over the so-called “White House demolition.”
You’ll hear how every administration has rebuilt, remodeled, or re-imagined that house — and why this one practical addition triggers so much panic.

We look at the double standards, the real-world need for a secure event hall, and the left’s strange obsession with controlling how other people spend their own money.
Because in Washington, outrage isn’t about architecture — it’s about ownership.

The United Nations says Finland is the happiest country on earth — again.
 But how do they know?
 We look behind the World Happiness Index and find missing data, selective reporting, and a quiet message aimed at America.
 From Finland’s high taxes on the poor, its state church, and centralized police force, to rising suicide rates and school attacks — this episode reveals how the UN’s feel-good rankings turn into subtle anti-American propaganda.

We don’t bash Finland — we expose bias.
 Because if “happiness” can mean anything, it can also mean whatever helps the narrative.

A generation believes Christopher Columbus was a villain. But that story didn’t emerge organically — it was written by one man, and it spread like gospel through classrooms across America.

In this full-length episode, we dismantle the Howard Zinn narrative, expose the myths (like the infamous “smallpox blankets”), and tell the real story of what happened when Europe and America collided — a clash of civilizations that shaped the modern world.

We’ll cover:
 • 📚 How Howard Zinn’s A People’s History rewrote Columbus’s legacy
• 🧠 Mary Grabar’s takedown of Zinn’s distortions
• 🧭 What Columbus actually accomplished — and why it mattered
• 🦠 Disease myths, including the smallpox blanket story and the two-way spread of illness
• ⚔️ Why the clash between Europe and the Americas was inevitable — and what would’ve happened if someone else (like the Arabs or Chinese) had arrived first
• ✝️ The role of Christianity in shaping the civilization that emerged

Columbus didn’t just carry ships across the Atlantic. He carried a civilization — with all its virtues and flaws. And the values that came with him — law above power, human worth, forgiveness, the dignity of the individual — are still the ones people want to live under today.

This is the story Howard Zinn didn’t tell. And it’s one worth reclaiming.

On September 28, a man rammed his truck into a Mormon church in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, opened fire, set the building ablaze, and tried to carry out a bombing with four improvised explosive devices.
 Within hours, national media outlets had already written their script: “another mass shooting”, complete with CNN graphs and gun-control talking points.

In this episode of The Tenth Man, we break down what actually happened — a targeted, multi-mode attack involving arson, firearms, and planned bombings — and how politicians and the press twisted the story to fit their gun-control agenda.

We’ll examine:

• The attacker’s motives, suicide ideation, and hatred of the LDS Church
• Why Michigan’s 2024 red flag laws failed to prevent the attack
• How the armed citizen on scene contrasted with media stereotypes
• Why words like “mass shooting” are being used to erase critical facts
• And how this attack fits into a broader pattern of targeted religious violence the media ignores.

👉 If you’re tired of headlines that tell you what to think instead of what happened, this episode is for you.

The United States government has shut down — but not for the reasons you’re being told.
 This wasn’t a failure to “agree on a budget.” It was a deliberate strategy by Democrats to block the budget over one issue: taxpayer-funded health subsidies for millions who pay nothing into the system.

In this episode of The Tenth Man, we break down:

• Why the shutdown is entirely manufactured
• How Democrats are using health subsidies as a political weapon
• The myths about federal workers and who’s really affected
• Why less government may actually be better government
• And yes… why the Grand Canyon doesn’t need a bureaucrat to stay open

Forget the spin. This is the story the media won’t tell you.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk wasn’t just a tragedy — it revealed the hypocrisy of academia, the dishonesty of the media, and the collapse of free speech. In this episode, The Tenth Man dismantles the “both sides” narrative, exposes the campus culture that enabled violence, and explains why Kirk’s unchanging morality made him such a threat to the left.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination wasn’t just a tragedy — it exposed the hypocrisy of academia and the collapse of moral clarity on America’s campuses. Universities that should have been ashamed into silence instead shouted approval. Professors who should have defended free speech celebrated its destruction. And the media once again tried to bury the story under the false “both sides” narrative.

In this episode, we break down:

• Why assassination is not the same as “political violence on both sides.”
• How free speech is misunderstood — and twisted — by those who cheered Kirk’s death.
• The bitter irony that the attack happened at a university.
• And why Charlie Kirk’s Christian, unchanging morality made him such a powerful target.

This isn’t just about Charlie Kirk. It’s about what happens when academia fails, media lies, and free speech dies.
