GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! When officer Derek Chauvin was convicted on all three charges in the trial for the death of George Floyd, many rejoiced that “justice was served”. Some “back the blue” folks were angry. Personally, I didn’t know how to feel.

Cliche as it may be, Connor is quite literally being the change he wanted to see in the world.   Our government-funded education / indoctrination system continues to collapse in on itself and our children are suffering for it. They are taught to think inside the box and pass the test, rather than innovate and understand...

Did you hear the one about the guy who had a warrant out for his arrest by the local police, trolled them on Facebook for a while saying he was going to show up, acted like he was standing them up on a date, apologized for standing them up, then posted a picture turning himself in? That guy was Anthony Akers. While it’s a pretty hilarious story to read and share around on Facebook, the real story...

Was Trump's Impeachment justified?

We're all far too painfully aware of the economic destruction that these lockdowns have caused. What is discussed far less, however, is the mental damage that forced isolation has caused, which is an even scarier dilemma.

So, I keep hearing podcasters and others going on about this new “delta 8 THC” and how it’s completely legal in all states. This got me wondering…. What? How? Explain!… If you’re like me, you’ve probably got some questions.   I decided “why bother doing a quick google search that will inevitably inundate me with fear propaganda, when I can just have someone like John Bush back on the show to give...

Today, I'm chatting with the great, Chris Spangle on how he has managed to navigate the censorship world with his (often "controversial") podcast network, We Are Libertarians, for nearly a decade.
