The Homeless Conservative

Over the weekend, we were millimeters away from a successful assassination attempt on Donald Trump. The failures of the Secret Service seem obvious, and will no doubt be vigorously investigated. One attendee was killed, two are in critical condition, and Trump was hit in the ear. The shooter is dead, and while we don't yet know his motivations for trying to kill the Republican presidential can...

Things haven't gotten any better for Joe Biden after his terrible debate performance. We're up to 9 Democrats in congress calling for him to stop running for a 2nd term, and he's even getting calls to step down from A-list Hollywood celebrities like George Clooney. Biden claims he's running, regardless. Will anyone - Biden, Democrats, the media - do the right thing? After lying and...

I wanted to at least attempt to be a little more optimistic or positive for the July 4th episode, but it was difficult in the wake of last week's presidential debate exposing just how terrible the 2024 choice between Biden and Trump really is. All I see are warnings that "the other guy" will bring about the end of democracy in the press. The right does it with Biden, and the left wit...

Note: I'm going to edit down my 3.5hr stream watching and discussing the debate for Ep046 in just a bit, but the full stream is available over on YouTube. I streamed myself and my friend watching the debate last night and did a lot of discussion of the actual substance of what Trump and Biden were saying during the debate, but felt I should do another show to talk about the aftermath of Biden&...

In this episode of "The Homeless Conservative," I sit down with Amos Guiora to discuss the alarming rise of antisemitism and its parallels to the Holocaust, especially after the events of October 7. Amos, whose parents were Holocaust survivors, shares his research on the role of bystanders and enablers in both historical and modern contexts. We also dive into the spread of misinformation...

Join me for a chat with David Beckemeyer, host of Outrage Overload, about the wild world of political media. Ever notice how everything seems designed to make you mad? That's not by accident. Media and social platforms thrive on our outrage because it keeps us hooked and clicking. In this episode, we unpack how headlines and stories are crafted to grab eyeballs and ad dollars, often sidelining...

I'm wading into the comments section from YouTube to further expand on my views (and the pushback to them) on free speech, Ukraine funding, and my intolerance for Christians defending Donald Trump's morals.

Donald Trump was found guilty of all 34 felony counts in the New York so called "Hush Money" trial yesterday. What does that mean going forward? Will the guilty verdict affect his polling in swing states? Will the perception of this case being lawfair convince voters on the fence to vote for him over Biden? The truth is - we have no idea. But I thought I'd take some time to explain w...

On Fridays, I'm the conservative voice on Ross Yerger's show "Up The Middle", where we discuss the week's political news with myself, Yergz, and Matt Diemer (the show's liberal opinion). We started discussing polling and how we have different opinions on if it's accurate or not. Ross thinks Biden will win in November, and I think all current signs point to Trump. Obvi...

If you live in any city in America, you might have noticed the steady increase of homelessness that's been happening since 2016. It's a complicated problem without any single cause or solution, and the current political climate is, we'll say, not exactly great at dealing with nuanced issues. So I spoke with my friend Adam Luck who is the CEO of City Care in Oklahoma City. City Care, am...

The anti-Israel/pro-Palestinian protests that started at Columbia University weeks ago came to an end this week when NYPD were called to remove protestors who had barricaded themselves in a building on campus. Regardless of whether the violent and anti-semitic parts of the protests involved students or not, it's disturbing to see a minority group like Jewish students being attacked for somethi...

Rant incoming: Biden is trying to forgive student loan debt...again. The democrats are pretending the Supreme Court didn't already say this was illegal and now President Biden's is proposing the SAVE (Saving on a Valuable Education) repayment program. This initiative, pegged at an eye-watering $475 billion over the next decade, follows closely on the heels of the Supreme Court's dismis...

Why has college tuition skyrocketed to 150% above the rate of inflation over the last 40 years? People on every corner of political spectrums are pissed about it, too! It's one of many reasons I'm against the "cancelling" of student loans - it would further drive college costs up. So, why is college so expensive? Join me as I sit down with the Dean of Social Sciences from a local...

Over the weekend, Iran fired over 300 drones and missiles at Israel. Half of them failed in the air. All but 5 were shot out of the air by Israel and their allies. By all measures it was not a success, but could lead to further escalation of tensions and conflict in the Middle East. Should Israel retaliate? Was the show of force without any real damage inflicted Iran's goal the entire time? Wh...

- 60 Minutes/The Insider/Der Spiegel's reporting on the alleged connection of Russia's GRU in the attacks on US officers and their families known as Havana Syndrome, or what the government now calls anomalous health incidents. Last year's US intelligence report claimed it was "very unlikely" caused by a foreign adversary, but the reporting indicates a pretty clear connection...

Follow The Homeless Conservative on Instagram and Youtube for short-form content On this episode, I explore these key topics: ISIS-K's attack in Russia, Biden's housing proposals, and the U.S.'s historic oil production in 2023. First, I talk about the ISIS-K attack on Russia, and the ignored warning by the U.S. about the intelligence predicting exactly such an attack. How will this aff...

Can America’s cars be 100% electric by 2050? Democrats think so, but what does the data say? The Biden Administration just announced new regulations on car manufactures requiring 33-41% of their new vehicle sales to be fully electric by 2030 - and that’s less aggressive than their original proposals. But why are we in such a rush to make the switch to EVs when consumers still have doubts? And is i...

President Biden delivered the State of the Union address last week, and went full-on partisan campaign speech with it. It was full of lies, half-truths, and legislatively impossible promises. He would be better off throwing a lucky penny in a fountain and making a wish for some of his agenda than getting it through a dysfunctional and hyper-polarized Congress. And the Republican response wasn'...

Normally political junkies like my neighbor Mackenzie and myself are glued to our TVs and Twitter (X, whatever) watching the coverage of Super Tuesday, but this year was...boring. We knew going into it Donald Trump and Joe Biden would ride their incumbency to easy victory. But what's next? Nikki Haley has exited the race, but will her voters show up for Trump in November, or will they remember...

Follow The Homeless Conservative on Instragram and Youtube Note: Ep018 and Ep026 also covered the topic of sexual abuse by teachers, if you want some context for this episode's discussion In this episode, I delve deeper into the critical issue of child sexual abuse by teachers, joined by Amos Guiora, a respected law professor whose work sheds light on the institutional complicity and enabling...

Russia was all over the news this week. There was Tucker Carlson's interview with Putin, overshadowed by his propagandizing on behalf of the brutal dictator from grocery stores, subways, and fast food joints in Moscow. Then came the assassination of Putin's most outspoken critic, Alexei Navaldy, in the Siberian prison camp he was sentenced to die in for his criticisms. As if those weren&#3...

Despite Democrats and their media allies trying their best to convince us all Biden is running circles around the White House staff with the vigor of a man half his age, we finally got an official declaration from Robert Hur's special council investigation of Biden's mishandling of classified documents that simply found him to be an "elderly man with a poor memory". He misremembe...

It was a particularly newsy week, so in this episode, Blake discusses the dead-on-arrival border deal, retaliation towards Iran proxies, and Trump not having immunity in his federal prosecution case. Will Republicans be blamed for claiming the border is a crisis and then refusing to even vote on a border deal? Is the border deal only dead because Trump said it should be, or are there legitimate co...

Note: We're discussing sexual abuse of minors by adults in this episode, hence the explicit rating. We do not discuss graphic details, but what we do discuss could still be disturbing to some listeners. While it is certainly a conversation I think parents should listen to, maybe use the ol' Airpods for this one. Would you be shocked to hear that 1 in 13 kids will experience sexual abuse by...

Join Blake and his friend Kris for a deep dive into the Nikki Haley's New Hampshire primary loss and what the short and long term impacts of a Biden vs. Trump rematch will be for the country. We get into some seriously ridiculous "what if?" scenarios in this discussion. Key Topics: 02:08 New Hampshire Primary & Political Loyalty 08:09 Shifting Dynamics: Republican Party 17:08 Pol...
