The biggest story of the month was the Supreme Court's annual summertime opinion dump which included a flurry of majority opinions that actually reflected on the constitutionality of several hot-button issues like abortion, the EPA, religious freedom and school choice. Most of these issues never should have been heard by SCOTUS given the limited powers granted to the federal government by the Constitution but, for decades, activist judges have allowed the expansion of federal power making virtually everything a federal case.
In addition to SCOTUS, we had plenty of news from Biden as his administration and the national Democrats continue to behave like a doomsday cult hell bent on destroying the country.
And we saw dozens of stories about the adverse effects of the Covid vaccine - all of which were ignored by the alphabet soup, conspiracy media.

WARNING: What I share with you in this episode is something that, once you see it, you can never unsee it!
Have you ever watched a nightly newscast from an alphabet soup, conspiracy media outlet and really paid close attention? Have you noticed the one-sided nature of their coverage or how they leave out pertinent facts? What about the loaded language and dog whistles?
In this episode, I pick apart a recent broadcast of the CBS Evening News with Norah O'Donnell pointing out the biases while taking you on a truth quest.

The doomsday cult, formerly known as the Democratic Party, is waging war on the United States of America. They are waging a war on our currency, on the truth, on reality, on science, on bodily autonomy, on babies in the womb and on the middle class.
It's time to wake up!!!

April 2022 will be remembered as the month of the all-out assault on free speech and the First Amendment as we had the Left's melt-down over Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter and the Department of Homeland In-Security stand up a new Ministry of Truth.
Along the way we cover John Durham's investigation, Covid news, the economy and voter fraud from the 2020 election.

Russian President, Vladimir Putin, recently called the West an “Empire of Lies.” The more I reflected on this claim, the more I realized how true it is.
In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane from Abraham Lincoln to the present day revisiting dozens of flat-out lies, lies by omission as well as gaslighting and propaganda all pushed by our own government and the media that, rather than exposing these lies, often conceives and perpetuates them.

For lack of a better term, the American financial system is a shit show. The debt, the money supply, the inflation, the federal spending are all out of control. I have argued in other episodes that the country is so far gone that the only hope to save America from itself is state secession.
Is there an alternative? In this episode, we examine what it might take to save the American financial system. It ain't pretty!

March 2022 will be remembered as "The Month of the Doomsday Cult."
I am referring to the national Democrats, communists, leftists and malcontents who currently hold positions of power in the United States.
They advocate for killing babies in the womb on demand at tax-payer’s expense! They pushed mask mandates, business lockdowns, school shutdowns and vaccine mandates! They preferred people die rather than giving them Ivermectin or other therapeutic treatments!
They have open borders; they purposely allow gas prices and inflation to remain at record highs; they nominate activists to the Supreme Court; they warn about looming food shortages due to their policies; they are purposely working to collapse the U.S. Dollar and; they are working like hell to start World War III with Russia.
Consider their push for the cultural collapse of the nation by advocating for men to participate in women's sports; their insistence on teaching our children about gender identity and pushing irreversible gender transition treatments on children WITHOUT parental consent.
All of it damages the country and its citizens just like a DOOMSDAY CULT!

December 2021 was filled with lots of Covid-related news, however, it will be remembered as the month that The Left's Covidian Cult narrative crumbled.
In other news, we found out that Facebook fact-checks are actually opinions; we continued to experience record levels of inflation; the dual justice system was on full display and; a biological male dominated NCAA women's swimming.

When Resident Biden came into office, the economy was set for a rebound as it came out of the Covid coma!
All the guy had to do was . . . NOTHING!!! Instead he (or whoever is really running the country) decided to only pursue policies that detrimentally impact the economy. This has resulted in something called "stagflation.”
In this episode we examine what that is, when we last experienced it and what can be done to rectify the situation.

The primary theme of October 2021 was LET'S GO BRANDON which is a reaction to the national Democrats' and Biden's continued push to destroy the country.
Economically - They continued to push inflationary economic policies and encourage the ongoing supply chain disruption. Jerome Powell and Janet Yellen are despicable and willfully negligent.
Covid - It's one lie after another - Gain of function, the spread of the virus, the boosters, children's vaccine, vaccine related deaths and adverse effects, therapeutic treatments, and natural immunity. To name a few.
Constitutionally - They ignore and spit on the Constitution as a matter of course but their legislative proposal to grant the IRS access to our bank accounts and the vaccine mandates top the list for October.
Politically - The dual justice system was alive and well. Open borders (i.e. the Democrats' voter drive) continued as did the projection of weakness to geopolitical foes.
Culturally - They continued their destructive divide-and-conquer electoral strategy with one set of rules for illegal immigrants and one for legal citizens.

September 2021 was another eventful month. It started with superstar podcaster Joe Rogan announcing that he beat Covid and ended with the national Democrats itching to bankrupt the country and destroy the U.S. dollar. Along the way, we had lots of Covid vaccine news, more big tech censorship, the Texas abortion law and the federal government's continued preference that people should suffer and die from Covid rather than mass distribute safe, effective, inexpensive treatments like Ivermectin and Hydrochloriquine.

When the month started, I assumed the big story would be Covid - the vaccine, talk of vaccine passports, mask mandates and the continued bullying, harassment and discrimination against the unvaccinated (the subject of Episode 163). Instead, Resident Biden purposely created one of the most disgraceful and unforgivable scenes in American history in Afghanistan.
I also discuss a story (one that you are likely unaware of) that will have a more significant impact on your life in the long run than either Covid or Afghanistan - it has to do with Russia and Saudi Arabia.

You have probably heard the term Modern Monetary Theory or MMT thrown around recently. It is all the rage with our overlords in Washington, D.C. But what is it?
In this episode we examine the destructiveness of MMT and learn that there is nothing modern about debasing your currency by printing worthless pieces of paper backed by nothing. We also learn that MMT is not a theory but more political propaganda backed by nothing resembling real economics or public policy.
Politicians who endorse it or do not oppose it vigorously are willfully negligent!

Back in 2010 conservative talk show host Michael Savage published a book titled, “Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.” Over the years as I digested, dissected and analyzed the political arena and evaluated the policy prescriptions of the Left, I often remembered the title of his book and reflected that Savage might have been on to something.
In this episode, we examine several public policy prescriptions while asking the question, "what else besides politically-induced mental illness explains why people support and endorse these policies?"
We discuss: abortion, gender, energy, the environment, fiat currency, guns, law enforcement, the welfare state, immigration and much more.

The “S” word - secession - seems to be brought up with more and more frequency lately. Most recently we have seen counties in rural Virginia exploring the possibility of seceding from the state and joining West Virginia. We are seeing similar movements in Northern California and rural counties in Oregon. While those are wonderful developments, the larger question regarding secession is the idea of entire states seceding from the United States and essentially establish their own nation.
The idea of state secession picks up steam with every passing year as the federal government - the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches AND the federal bureaucracy - continues to enlarge its power base well beyond its enumerated powers in the Constitution.
In this episode, I will introduce you to the concept of secession, discuss some of the current and past secession movements and walk you through three reasons why secession is not only desirable but necessary. In Episode #88 we will discuss how secession is justified and rebut most of the arguments against it.

What does the spectacle known as the State of the Union Address reveal?
In the first part of this episode, we examine President Trump's 2020 State of the Union Address through the eyes of someone who has been off the grid for several decades - an unbiased, casual observer. What did he notice? What were his impressions? What questions did he have?
The last part of the episode is an assessment of what the SOTU address reveals about the state of our nation, the state of our federal government and the state of the Constitution.

You are likely familiar with the caricature of capitalism. You know the one - capitalism is some nefarious monster that does nothing but squash the little guy like bugs while the billionaires laugh, smoke cigars and sip the finest cognac.
The criticisms of capitalism are well-known. Capitalism is based on greed and selfishness. It is immoral. It exploits workers. It is a zero sum game. Under capitalism, giant corporations have too much power. And capitalism is based on competition rather than cooperation.
But have you ever examined these claims in any detail? Have you ever considered the alternatives to capitalism?

Most people are aware of inflation. They expect the cost of products and services to go up every year. What these same people may not be aware of is the fact that this perpetual inflation is completely unnecessary.
If the United States had a sound money policy, meaning the U.S. Dollar was pegged to gold (on a gold standard) most of the angst around monetary policy, interest rates, the national debt, out of control government spending, inverted yield curve, negative interest rates, and cryptocurrencies would be nothing but noise.
In this episode we examine the history of a gold standard. We scrutinize actions taken by FDR, Nixon, the Federal Reserve and their impact on the worldwide economy. The bottom line is, because the gold standard constrains the spending of our overlords in Washington, D.C., they will never willingly revert back to that standard. Unfortunately the United States is in for a rude awakening as other countries have started accumulating gold reserves as a way to diversify away from the U.S. Dollar's reserve currency status.

In the previous episode, #27 The Truth About the Federal Reserve – An Introduction, I laid the groundwork for this episode. So now that you know what the Fed is, why it was created and how it creates money, let’s look at the results of the last 100+ years since this monstrosity was created.
We will discuss the constitutionality of the Fed, how it creates inflation, its impact on savers and people on fixed incomes, malinvestment, bailouts, how it funds the welfare and warfare state, the gold standard, and I conclude the episode with a side-by-side comparison of the current monetary system dominated by the Fed with one without it.

I read and hear a lot about how bad the Federal Reserve is for America. The cries for “Audit the Fed” continue to grow louder. Inherently I understand that government intervention always causes market distortions but trying to explain how the Federal Reserve detrimentally impacts the economy at a level that the average person can understand has proved daunting. But I am going to give it a shot in this episode and the next one.
In this episode I am going to introduce you to the Federal Reserve – explain what it is, why and how it was created and explain how it creates money.
Episode #28 will be spent looking at the Fed's record over the 100+ years of its existence and argue why it should be abolished.
