Ep. 850 - The United States is VERY close to starting World War III.

Ep. 845 - Something truly evil I’m seeing from Kamala supporters

Ep. 844 - The legitimate concerns about Trump have grown into hysteria

-
Ep. 840 - Endless massacres of Palestinians during the Super Bowl last night
Every night is horrible in Gaza. Without fail. But somehow, last night was one of the worst ever as Israel and the United States bombed refugee camps all over Rafah, in Southern Gaza. Over 1.6 million Palestinians have crammed into a community meant for 150,000 people - after they were told it…

Ep. 839 - Israel is in full, open defiance of the ICJ orders
Last week the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel is committing genocide and, in essence, ordered them to stop all genocidal actions, genocidal speech, and to open up ports for humanitarian aid. And gave them 30 days to do so. We are now within that 30 day period and Israel is in…

Ep. 836 - Donald Trump just won New Hampshire, and likely the Republican nomination.
Ron DeSantis put all of his eggs in the Iowa basket and lost there to Donald Trump last week. Nikki Haley did the same thing in New Hampshire and lost to Trump just like DeSantis. This means the race is all but over. It's going to be Trump vs. Biden. If these men can live until the election, and…

Ep. 835 - What I think about the current temporary cease-fire option that's on the table

Ep. 831 - Why it's ridiculous for The United States to put The Houthis on the nation's terror list
We live in a time where nations around the world have charged Israel with the genocide of over 30,000 Palestinian people, but the United States, which openly supports the genocide, and defends it at every turn, is rushing to put one of the nation's leading the charge against it, on its terror…
more -
Ep. 830 - Let me explain what just happened at the International Court of Justice

Ep. 824 - Joe Biden should be charged with war crimes

Ep. 821 - Yesterday I was embarrassed to be an American

Ep. 818 = The White House admits Joe Biden is lying about Palestine
Yesterday, almost like a trained actor, Joe Biden looked at the cameras, and said "never in his life," did he think he would see videos and photos of Palestinians behead Israeli babies. And then feigned being traumatized. Only for The White House to admit just a few hours later that he made all…
