Send us Fan Mail The Climate Change scam has a tactic of blaming the west in general and the US in particular for any weather event. Frequent disastrous floods in Pakistan are one darling or the climate change scam.  But let's see how Pakistan itself has responded to these disasters, then compare to how Americans react when faced with similar events. Commentary on trending issues brought to y...

Send us Fan Mail You have all been told that the US has “mass killings” every day.  This is false. I know this will surprise you, but while there is gang and drug violence in our urban centers, it is a myth created by the Left that men stalk our streets daily nationwide killing at random.  There are many aspects to this myth.  This podcast attacks one of them - the organization which in 2013 sudde...

Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

Send us Fan Mail The Artemis II moon mission in 2024 will include a woman and a Canadian.  They will be the first people to leave low Earth orbit other than the white men who went to the moon.

Send us Fan Mail Twenty years after a coalition of nations invaded Iraq without France's approval, it's easy to forget why it all happened.

Commentary on trending issues...

Send us Fan Mail The biggest example of societal decadence is manufacturing a problem and elevating it to primary status.

Send us Fan Mail A favorite trick of the fake news and the radical left is the Facile Argument.  Repetition is another.  When the fake news can repeat a misleading statistic millions of times the truth doesn't stand a chance.  This meaningless statement, that more Americans have died from firearm violence than in all her wars has gone around the world, coming to rest at the United Nations, wh...

Send us Fan Mail It's front page news that TSA inspectors came to work, screened a million bags, and  fund a gun here and there.  That's their job.  It's not clear what is considered news, given these thousands of guns have not been used in any crime.  TSA employees share their opinions and their emotions, but not a lot of facts needed to evaluate this story. Commentary on trending...

Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

Send us Fan Mail Ilhan Omar is a famous Somali who is now the US congressman for Minnesota’s 5th district. Unlike thousands of Americans who have served before her in congress, and who swear an oath to the constitution, Omar has made it clear that she serves her own personal identity and her Somali homeland.  Her chosen identity is the identity of a culture.  It’s a culture of hate.  It’s a cultur...

Send us Fan Mail It's not about banning stoves but banning gas.  Why would you want to ban the cleanest, best, most ecologically sound cooking fuel on Earth?  Because, for the Climate Alarmist, every story has to be a bad news story, and it only takes a little effort to create a negative narrative.   Even this near-perfect fuel is demonized.  With so much in favor of natural gas and nothing a...
