  • Following in the footsteps of Rush

    Came across Mr. Nick Freitas via his insightful viewpoints, with good natured sarcasm mixed in, via his short form videos on Facebook and YouTube before watching and listening to his long form videos explaining what’s going on around the country, with a focus on the Commonwealth of Virginia which he served for a decade, in addition to being a veteran of the US military. Definitely worth listening to.

  • Tucker conservative?

    Tucker was a libertarian, registered Democrat until 2020. How is that conservative? On January 6, 2020, he was texting his co-workers at Fox that he HATED Trump. He claims to be a conservative, but how many of those are registered Democrats?

  • Usually Agree With Nick

    I usually agree with Nick. However I don’t get his hate for Senator Cornyn. Cornyn votes with Trump over 99% of the time but apparently that’s not enough for Nick. During the last episode he said we should support Paxton over Cornyn. That’s just dumb. Paxton was impeached by his own party. And he would have been convicted and removed from office if one of his donors hadn’t paid off

    the Lt Governor. Talarico would likely wipe the floor with Crooked Ken. I sure as hell won’t vote for him.

Who's Funding the Far-Left?
Q: What is Data Republican's role in uncovering these funding networks?

Will Iran Trigger An Economic Crisis? w/ Bonus Episode at the End
Q: Why is gold presented as a hedge in this environment, and how does it relate to government money printing?
Gold is presented as a hedge because it cannot be printed by the government, offering intrinsic value during inflation or monetary expansion; the discussion emphasizes the dollar's dominance as a reserve currency and suggests gold can protect purchasing power when fiat currencies are devalued through sustained money printing.
