  • Balanced & Eclectic

    My Go-To weekly update for what is going on in that astonishing country. It’s not excessively detailed and doesn’t get bogged down in the minutiae of government protocols (unless an explanation is required) and works hard to be neutral. America for us Brits, and with a healthy occasional splash of humour

    I am a bit over whelmed with NR, N Criterion and Wash Examiner but I will make time (less NHL game’s perhaps) as it is a terrific source of conservative viewpoints.

  • Political Violence

    Very disappointing that your conversation on the topic of political violence with Max Horder focussed on people being “too online” and never mentioned the lack of civic education and the preponderance of left-wing political indoctrination in schools. It begins in kindergarten. That is the obvious root of the problem.

    Perhaps Mr Horder (and the interviewer?) are “too online”.

    Keep up the good work.

FG is good at a occasionally getting people on who he clearly doesn’t agree with (and challenging them), but this podcast, could be so much more interesting if he was less of a fawning drip in th... more
