- Not reporting what should be reported
I’ve been following you for many years. You’re my number one go to Guy for reality. My question to you is why does the mainstream media not want to cover the JFK assassination? You must admit it’s a rather fascinating murder mystery to say the least. It would be nice to see you take it on seriously because there’s so much more to it. The future was changed on November 22, 1963.

Dems fail to associate every WWII combat veteran as a card carrying Antifa member, by NOT pointing out the fact that you can’t get more Antifa than landing on Normandy or being at Mid-way etc…
This is low... more
Apple Podcasts5Prometheus---United Statesa month ago - Love the show
Listening to you and Claire- I disagree with the “come in our tent” philosophy. What my brain hears is Merak Garland and Joe Biden waiting 2 years to prosecute J6-era, and then Biden welcoming the Trumpers to keep their jobs in government to “come together” - This does not work. There must be accountability and people without morals who enjoy racist ICE videos on social media are never going to wake up one day and grow the ability to have empathy. Go forward with Dems, independents, and soft/rea... more
