Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off I wrote this one a few years ago and I’ve republished it several times. It needs to be revisited every now and then because our society pushes a lie instead of the truth when it comes to evaluating our political ideology. I don’t agree with Clint Eastwood’s politics, but I grew up watching his movies. The film that first made him a...

Hello Everyone! This was another delightful conversation with Margaret Williams, MS, ACC and Letters from a Feminist . I always feed off of Margaret’s energy and I always leave my conversations with her feeling empowered and renewed. Early on in this conversation, I was discussing how government spending gets inflated when it’s distributed to preferred contractors (who are often related to the guy...

Today my wife is a well-respected member of the ELL department in the larger liberal city just up the road from where we live. She’s the only educator in the department who is both bilingual and holds a master’s degree. She interviewed at our local school, but they gave the job to some jerk who didn’t even speak Spanish. Later, when the school had need of a translator, they always called on my kid...

Hey Everyone! I was delighted to have this awesome chat with Ace Parsi and SugarRhi~ ! Ace has won the democratic primary in West Virginia, and he’s taking to the streets to win back our country. SugarRhi actually lived in West Virgina for a time so it was wonderful to get her perspective too. Over the last year I’ve done a lot of these candidate interviews. It’s at the point where I have a good s...

When the abuser recognizes that the people he abuses have pierced his illusion, he begins to grow desperate. I witnessed this as a child. It was scary then. It’s still scary now, but as a fully grown man, I have no patience left for this nonsense. My father was a world class saber rattler. I guess that’s easy to do when you’re staring into the face of a little boy. He raised his hand more than onc...

Hey Everyone! Here was another great meeting of minds from last week. Will Fullwood has been my brother in arms in this fight for going on two years, and Liza Hameline has given me a lot to be hopeful about in the last few months. We always have to remember that the media has been captured. At this point, legacy media serves no other purpose than to frustrate and intimidate us. But there are good...

Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off It’s not a “conspiracy theory” that Republicans cheat. We know they cheat. The current regime hasn’t followed the Constitution once. They commit five impeachable offenses every day. The current occupant of the oval office was convicted of business fraud related to election interference in 2016. He was under indictment for 2020. Ther...

Hello Everyone! I was delighted to spend an hour last week talking with Julie Roginsky about media reform. I think we’re only just now coming into an awareness of how toxic social media algorithms have become. This is a trend that predates AI, and until we do something about it, it’s going to get worse instead of better! This was a wonderful talk, I look forward to talking to Julie again soon! Tha...

I was doing an interview with a congressional candidate who mentioned that our government is based on the idea that, “All men are created equal.” The comment itself is common enough in our political landscape, but I knew I had to respond. “That right there is a problem!” I said. “What about women, what about children?" This was a good candidate who, unlike many others, was at least willing to come...

Hey Everyone! I was so delighted to feature Abel and Ericka on another chat. Also, it’s always my privilege to talk to Ellie Leonard, and I was honored to meet Lisa Gonzalez. We have some magnificent people looking to reform our country. You can find out more about Abel and Ericka here: Abel Chavez For Congress Ericka Kopp for Congress Thanks for listening!

Hello everyone! It was my absolute privilege to sit down with Dr. Yamicia Connor and Eric Lullove to discuss the current round of chaos we have to live through thanks to the GOP. I’m inspired by these two compassionate and diligent people who are committed to seeing us through. We have to understand that the situation is dire, and we have to collectively find our commitment to making humanitarian...

This mother’s day landed differently than the others. As I scrolled through social media, I expected to find photos and videos of happy mothers celebrating with their children. Instead, I found dozens of heartbreaking testimonials from sad people who had become estranged from their families, usually due to the malicious actions of their former husbands. These stories stopped me in my tracks becaus...

Hello Everyone! I really appreciated this conversation with Congressional candidate Robert Tracinski and A. Eevie Bateman . Eevie brought in some really important questions and Robert did not flinch away from them. I think this conversation models what it means to work through differing opinions respectfully. Any candidate that comes onto my platform already shows that he’s willing to change the s...

What a great talk! It’s always such a pleasure to be surrounded by absolute brilliance. I’ve talked with Ericka Kopp for VA-01 several times and this was my first time meeting Melat Kiros . I’m so proud to be able to assist these women in getting the visibility they rightfully deserve. As you watch this video, I want you all to stop and imagine what our reality would look like if we were led by co...
