(The audio in the podcast kinda stunk, so I fixed it. You're welcome!-- JP Mac) Thursday night, an angry old man yelled and ranted at Congress and the nation for over an hour. The partisan, divisive speech was filled with lies and dissembling. It was a campaign speech, not a proper address to Congress. Here he demagogues and mischaracterizes J6.

Yet another story of Leftists acting badly is in the news. UC Berkley is being criticized for their handling of another outburst of antisemitism on campus. One student reported being choked, another was spit at during a pro-Israel event. This is the latest in a string of anti-Israel protests turned violent. The variable morality of cultural Marxism is a root cause. Source: Berkeley slammed over vi...

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” ― George Orwell, 1984 Google has put out what some have...

When Republicans say, "border security" Democrats hear "immigration reform." Democrats are finally waking up to the fact that America has an illegal immigration crisis. The final straw will be when Democrat voters finally make the logical leap from migrant crisis to border crisis. Democrats in office have been framing the problem as one of housing and processing illegal immigra...

"Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory," That was the conclusion made by Special Council Robert Hur on why President Biden would not be charged with knowingly possessing classified material. That of course, left the President in an awkward position. Ethier go along with the S...

Trump beat Bidan in a recent CNN poll. What the poll showed is that Republicans, of course, don't like Biden, but nor do many Democrats. Most Democrats cited in the poll said they were voting against Trump rather than for Joe Biden. Most of Trump's supporters though, were affectively voting for Trump rather than against Biden. For her part, Nikki Haley also beat Biden in the poll, but most...

The "Take our Border Back Convoy" is coming to the US southern border to protest the mismanagement of the border by the Biden Regime. In a related story, the House has announced its intention to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alajandro Mayorkas for his utter failure to do his job of protecting the homeland by keeping our border secure.

Bonus Commentary The World Economic Forum just wrapped up their annual get together of would-be dictators and oligarchs at Davos, Switzerland. However, it was not all plotting on how to best rule the world at the forum. President of Argentina, Javier Milei had some words for the WEF and their collectivist tendencies. Milei introduced the members of the WEF to a totally new ideology: Libertarianism...

It's 2024 and the Israel vs. Hamas war is still in the news. Pro-Palestine demonstrators get violent in Washington, DC, but no arrests reported as of yet. They don't like that President Biden isn't anti-Irael enough. Hamas spent billions of dollars creating their vast network of terror tunnels while their people lived in poverty. Where did they get the money? In short, from fools and e...

We've just waited through three weeks of Advent. Imagine waiting though three centuries, or three millennia, as our pre-Christian brother and sisters did. Over 2023 years ago, a savior was born. ...A savior. People today tend to think of Christianity, the Bible, as a rulebook, a mere list of things they can't do. But we as Christians don't celebrate on Christmas Day the birth of a rule...

Young Americans give a frightening response to a poll question about Israel's right to exist. This shows how pervasive cultural Marxism has become in our society. This article from Just the News is an excellent illustration of how Cultural Marxism leads to support for deeply immoral causes, like that of Hamas. Sources Cited: Most young Americans say Israel should 'be ended and given to Ham...

Liberty Relearned is about not just relating interesting news stories to the audience, but also exploring the conservative/libertarian principles at play in each story. Hopefully, you've gotten a chance to listen to or watch parts one and two of my two-part look at Israel in a post-Hamas world. Rather than make this "Part III" of the series, I've decided to do this episode as a k...

In part two we look at the motivations of the Israeli people following the massacre of 10/7/23 and see that it's not dissimilar to the mindset of Americans after 9/11/01. We also look at Israel's detractors, those who attend pro-Hamas rallies. They have a different concept of morality that allows them to wink at the atrocities committed by Hamas.

PT 1. The war against Hamas in Israel is back on after a brief ceasefire. The Israelis have determined to totally defeat Hamas in Gaza, and then go after those who planned and lead the massacre that occurred on 10/7 Israel plans to hunt down Hamas leaders after war in Munich-style plot | Just The News Israel says it started military offensive in southern Gaza 'no less powerful' than one in...

Back in 2010, then German Chancellor Angela Merkel stated that multiculturalism had "utterly failed". Thirteen years later, The PVV party (Party for Freedom) of Dutch politician Geert Wilders, has won enough seats in their parliamentary elections to make him the next Prime Minister. After decades of dominance by the globalist left in Europe and elsewhere, the pendulum seems to be swingin...

In this episode, we give thanks to and for our Veterans and the sacrifices they made. Is American still worth their sacrifice, and is it still worth fighting for? A recent article in the Daily Signal deals with that question. It is, but if so, then why is it so hard to find men and women willing to fight for it? Can we take the fact that America is worth fighting for, for granted? Lots of people t...

Recent events in Israel have led to the Left taking sides in the conflict, for Hamas and the Palestinians. This exposes some blaring inconstancies in the logic of their position. They universally claim to be against Nazism but seem to be quite comfortable with many of the more infamous practices associated with the Nazis: Authoritarianism, political violence, eugenics, and most recently they'v...
