  • Live In a Bubble

    Sorry, guys. Get out to “flyover country”. Months later, everything you claimed would happen didn’t. I mean it’s ok to be upset about losing an election, but come on. Talk about bitter. Blaming the voters? You really need to check your self, saying that the voters have “hate in their heart.” And “our country is done.” Cmon, talk about hyperbole. These sound like the ramblings and tantrums of children. Your quick take that Kamala was a “stellar candidate” and voters are idiots. Then saying... more

  • If it quacks like a duck…

    This current incarnation of social/political chaos seems fated to eat itself by destroying its ability to govern. Furthermore, it is incapable of admitting—much less recognizing—its own pathology. Conversely, this podcast calls a duck a duck and continues to supply clearsighted analysis.

Q: What do you make of the fact that he's now explicitly telling this to a room full of military officials?
It seems alarming as he's trying to create the sense that this is now official US doctrine or at least that this regime is adopting it as official US doctrine.
