The Clerisy

Bad Bunny just made history, from winning Album of the Year to landing the Super Bowl halftime stage, and suddenly, a wave of outrage followed. But what’s really behind the backlash?

The U.S. plans to ask visitors to make all their social media profiles public and share the last 5 years of history. This isn't about security, it's about submission and control. Let's examine how social media vetting, vague “hostility” standards, and political paranoia are damaging privacy, tourism, and U.S. credibility.

Trump promised to “win big” with his trade war. Instead, American farmers got crushed. Tariffs wiped out export markets, taxpayers were forced to cover an $11 billion bailout, and politicians kept lying about the damage. Using real data, firsthand experience, and blunt analysis, I expose how this economic disaster became a hidden tax on working Americans, and how both parties continue to sacrifice...

In this episode, we examine how warrantless raids, mass detentions, and “law and order” politics are quietly eroding the Fourth Amendment and due process in America. From ICE operations and mistaken arrests of U.S. citizens to the growing normalization of government power without accountability, let's break down how fear and political loyalty are being used to justify unconstitutional practices. W...

We're watching the diplomatic equivalent of a ship hitting an iceberg in slow motion and it's damaging the very foundation of American safety. In this episode, let's break down how Trump’s Greenland gambit turns allies into adversaries, weakens U.S. security in the Arctic, and opens the door for Russia and China. This isn’t left vs right; it’s smart vs stupid, and the cost of treating diplomacy li...

Bigotry is making a comeback: and it’s not rebellious, it’s the lowest form of collectivism. In this episode, I dive into how nationalism fuels modern hate movements, why MAGA nativism and progressive speech policing mirror each other, and why individualism (not tribalism) is the real antidote.

In the time it takes you to breathe, Washington borrows hundreds of thousands of dollars. In this episode, I break down America’s $38+ trillion debt, the bipartisan scam behind it, why interest alone is bleeding the country dry, and what a truly “servant” government might look like.

The released text message from Donald Trump to Norway’s prime minister offers a disturbing glimpse into how personal grievance can morph into foreign policy. In this episode, I break down Trump’s fixation on Greenland, his delusional claims of stopping multiple wars, and his belief that the Norwegian government denied him the Nobel Peace Prize. This is how a narcissist's need for validation can en...

In this episode, I break down the Trump administration’s new travel restrictions on Antigua and Barbuda and Dominica. I look at the hypocrisy of condemning Caribbean citizenship-by-investment programs while the U.S. rolls out its own pay-to-play residency scheme. What does this say about immigration, equality under the law, and the kind of republic we’re becoming? Watch the video version here: htt...

Immigration detention in the U.S. has reached a historic high, and American citizens are now being wrongfully caught in enforcement operations. In this episode, I examine the case of Scott Thao, a naturalized U.S. citizen detained in his own home, along with new reports of prosecutors and public servants being stopped by ICE. With 73,000 people in custody and nearly 40% held for non-criminal immig...

In this episode, let me tell you about the time I tried to enter Venezuela during the early days of the country’s collapse, ignoring the warnings of friends who knew better. What followed was a long night at the border, a failed crossing, and a series of decisions that, in hindsight, were more foolish than brave. This was the single most dangerous moment of my entire journalistic career. Watch the...

Breaking news! The Trump administration has rolled out a sweeping visa freeze that suspends immigrant visa processing for a total of 93 countries, a move experts warn will bar large numbers of lawful immigrants and, critically, block spouses and minor children of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. In this episode, I unpack the administration’s stated “public-charge” rationale, show how...

With the U.S. having removed Maduro from Venezuela, we have to look at history to understand the potential fallout. In this episode, drawing on my own experience in Panama shortly after Operation Just Cause and the removal of Noriega, I analyze the nuance of U.S. intervention in Latin America, specifically how local populations often feel about it. From the Colombian coast near the Venezuelan bord...

The fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer was instantly transformed into two opposing political myths: villain or martyr. But the real danger may be how quickly we choose a story instead of demanding truth. In this video, I examine what is known, what remains uncertain, and how narrative thinking replaces critical thinking in moments of crisis. More importantly, we look beyond this single...

Recording from Barrancabermeja, Colombia, home to the country’s largest oil refinery, I analyze what Nicolás Maduro’s removal really means for Venezuela and the region. While Maduro is out, the same power structure remains in Caracas: military generals, political insiders, and the networks that have sustained the regime for years. Removing a man is not the same as removing a system, and so far, Ve...

The Heritage Foundation, once the intellectual backbone of American conservatism, is now in open revolt. In this episode, I unpack how Heritage shifted from free markets, rule of law, and internal debate to becoming a MAGA cheerleader. Longtime scholars are walking out; let's explore what this says about intellectual honesty, political tribalism, and the collapse of real conservatism in America. W...

On this episode, Loren Moss dives into Chicago’s over a billion budget gap and Mayor Brandon Johnson’s proposed “head tax,” which would charge businesses $33 per employee each month. We examine what this policy means for prices, jobs, housing, and Chicago’s long-term future. Is this smart governance, or the first step toward a decline like similar cities before it?

On September 2nd, the U.S. forces launched a strike at a suspected drug smuggling boat near Trinidad, leaving 11 people dead. In this episode, Loren Moss analyzes the controversial decision to engage a non-combatant vessel with lethal force, and asks the hard questions: Without due process, trials, or immediate threats to U.S. soil, do these actions constitute extrajudicial killings? And what dang...
