The Homeless Conservative

Last week's indictment of James Comey for might be the most egregious use of law fare we've seen...so far. Say what you will about democrats' law fare against Trump, but at least the people at the top pretended to not be blatantly prosecuting their political opponents. But Trump is just out here posting on social media demanding his attorney general go after his enemies, mentioning Com...

A 31 year old husband and father was murdered because of his political beliefs. While we don't know who shot Charlie Kirk and ended his life yesterday, we do know that in the US, political violence has been accelerating at an alarming rate. There have been assassination attempts or attacks on Nancy Pelosi and her husband, the Republican Congressional baseball team, Governor Josh Shapiro and hi...

Trump is using emergency powers to send the National Guard into DC to try and solve the crime problems, while Democrats are claiming there IS no crime problem. You won't be surprised to learn both are wrong and not serious about solving anything.

Everyone is shocked - SHOCKED - that the Texas GOP is trying to gerrymander congressional maps to advantage Republicans. As if Democrats hadn't already done their own gerrymandering in their states. Blake gets into the historical context of gerrymandering, the partisan nature of redistricting, and the challenges of achieving fair representation. The conversation then shifts to Trump's controversia...

Blake and Patrick Trepanier discuss the themes of political engagement, federalism, and economic structures in America. Trepanier's book, 'American Restraint,' argues that hyper capitalism and wealth imbalances are significant issues facing the nation. They explore the role of Article 5 in proposing amendments to restore balance, the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis, and the chal...

Mackenzie is back to talk about the Trump administration's complete 180 on the Epstein conspiracies. After MAGA's full embrace and peddling of conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein, alleged client lists, and nefarious deep state connections, figures like Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, JD Vance, Pam Bondi, and Trump himself are now asking "why is anyone still talking about this?". Is...

In this episode I get into the intricacies of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, recently signed by Donald Trump. I unpack the bill's budgetary implications, tax reforms, and its impact on various sectors, including energy and healthcare. It's a mess of a bill, as you'd expect from any Congress these days, and unsurprisingly adds $3-4 trillion to the national debt - because Republicans ar...

Soon after last week's episode pondering if the U.S. would take action in Iran to take out their nuclear facilities, Trump gave the order to do exactly that. Both sides rushed to their respective corners (WWIII vs total obliteration and victory), but let's get into the nuance of it. Plus, the Supreme Court makes a ruling on district courts ability to issue nationwide injunctions on preside...

In this episode, Blake discusses various pressing political issues, including the recent political violence in Minnesota, the complexities of immigration policy under the Trump administration, and the ongoing military actions between Israel and Iran. He emphasizes the need for both sides of the political spectrum to denounce violence and the importance of coherent immigration policies. The convers...

Notes: Andrew Follett on X Another Harvard Scandal Proves That Science is Broken Andrew's other NR articles Blake and Andrew Follett discuss the current state of science, focusing on the erosion of trust in scientific research, exemplified by a recent Harvard scandal involving a professor accused of fraud. They explore the issues of peer review, political bias in academia, and the pressures of...

I speak with Matt Diemer from Daily Crypto News about what's going on with crytpo currencies right now. How did the once crypto-skeptical Trump end up fully embracing the technology? Is his $Trump coin out-in-the-open corruption, offering "investors" a direct line to the president while making him wealthier? We tackle these questions and more in our conversation. Check Matt out at da...

After yet another Trump's Tariff Pause®, is it worth asking what exactly we got in concessions from China? Is our national security better? Did we re-shore manufacturing jobs? Have we changed our bilateral trade deficit with China into a surplus? I can't find anyone to explain it to me in a way that makes sense. So I talk about why it proves there's no plan here - there's no genius...

Is Trump just confused... or losing it? And why is the media only willing to admit one side’s slipping? This week, I’m digging into the media’s selective outrage over cognitive decline — calling out how they covered for Joe Biden for years, only to pivot after his disastrous debate… while staying weirdly silent on Trump’s own spiral into boomer Facebook uncle energy. We’ll walk through Trump’s lat...

Donald Trump is back in the White House, and his first 100 days of Term Two were anything but normal. In this episode, I break down what his early moves tell us about the direction of his second administration — and what it means for the future of governance in America. We get into the surge of executive orders, the shift in voter expectations around presidential power, and the economic shockwaves...

Let's talk about the challenges of engaging with politics in today's evolving media landscape. Too many reasonable individuals are disengaging from political discourse and I think it's important to stay informed amidst a rapidly changing media environment. So let's talk about the need for honest communication and the value of diverse opinions in political discussions. If all the re...

I don't love the blanket attack that Trump is "dumb". It's lazy. But in some situations, I think it's fair to point out his intellectual deficiencies in specific policy areas. In this case, I think it's apparent he has absolutely no idea how domestic manufacturing actually works, and understands global supply chains and trade about as well as my 8 year old.

We're a little more than two months into Trump's second term, and even though I was nowhere near what anyone would call optimistic about how it would go, even I've been surprised just how off-the-rails it's been. From the unexplainable on-again, off-again tariff threats causing uncertainty in the U.S. economy, to his shocking attacks on judges and private law firms who dare rule ag...

Last night, Trump gave a campaign speech - wait, sorry - an address to a joint session of Congress (basically the State of the Union for Inaugural years). Its 100 minute length did not match its substance. In fact, I mostly think what mattered is what Trump didn't say during the speech.

Yesterday Trump "paused" all military support to Ukraine after Friday's Oval Office spat between Trump, Vance, and Zelensky. And then he announced 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico. How will these decisions affect Americans economically and geopolitically?

Only 3 weeks in and I'm pretty sure Trump has crossed the rubicon into DGAF territory. I lay out why it's already very clear Trump does not care one bit about the law or the Constitution, the American working class, or our allies. He cares about one person and one person only: himself. I go over his Department of Justice's dismissal of the bribery case against NY mayor Eric Adams, his...

In this conversation, I sit down with Jack Kammer to discuss the cultural perceptions of masculinity, the political landscape regarding young men, and the challenges they face in today's society. We explore the GOP's approach to engaging young male voters, the impact of single-parent households, and the importance of positive messaging for boys. The discussion also touches on the education...

I'm glad you're here! Here's a quick overview of what you can expect from this podcast.

Covering the Trump administration is exhausting, quite frankly. Should we take everything he improvisation-ally says at a microphone seriously? Literally? Will today's executive order get rescinded tomorrow? Let's start briefly discussing why Trump's impromptu Gaza "plan" will go nowhere, despite knowing it will absolutely DOMINATE the news cycle. Then we move on to Elon Musk's DOGE crew taking ov...

Lura Forcum from independentcenter.org and Gabriel Nadales from joinouramerica.org join me today for a discussion on H-1B visas. The discussion highlights the contrasting views on immigration, the skills gap in the workforce, and the political challenges in reforming immigration policy. highlights the entrepreneurial spirit of immigrants and the importance of fast-tracking citizenship for those wh...
