Good-bye It’s been a good run, but after 10 years, this show is done. I appreciate all my listeners on whatever point on the political spectrum you might be. I have a few parting thoughts, some reminiscing, and of course some conservative commentary. But this show goes a bit over the usual 10 minutes because, hey, it is a special episode.

Elon Musk buys Twitter One way newspapers push a particular narrative is mentioning the race of a perpetrator right up front or way in the back. Or not at all. A study was done looking at major newspaper articles going back 2 years and guess what they found. (You can probably guess, actually.) There was quite a backlash to Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter. Thing is, it really brought out who really is for free speech and who isn’t. Disney dipped it toe into the political waters, but it may be a bit to hot for them.

Ron DeSantis signs the Parental Rights in Education bill Well I’m finally back! We’ll see how the release schedule changes, but it’s good to get back on the saddle again. Joe Biden was supposed to be the adult in the room when it came to being President, but it doesn’t look that way. In one of his worst gaffes, he seemed to call for regime change in Russia. That’s something the Left told us that Trump would do. (And to call it a gaffe seems to underplay it. Mispronouncing the name of a head of state is a gaffe. This was much worse.) The NY Times finnaly admitted that the Hunter Biden laptop ..read more

Our clogged ports Sorry for the sound quality this time around. I haven’t unpacked the audio equipment yet from our move. I thought we’d have some inflation after the lockdowns were over. However, the Biden administration has not been doing much too keep that under control. I said that when a liberal restaurant owner kicked out a prominent Republican that it was wrong. Today I’m going on the record to say that when it happens on the Right it’s just as wrong. However, this time there is a funny turn of events. Both Republicans and Democrats have been squishy on the issue of increasing the deb ..read more

9/11 Headlines It’s hard to believe that it’s been 20 years since the devastating terror attack on September 11, 2001. The memories seem so fresh. But are they? In this episode you’ll hear my memories, a listener’s memories, and a Romanian’s ruminations on how we came together in the days following.

The latest casualty of socialized medicine Don’t ever let the UK National Health Service find out you have a child on life support. They’ve found another one and have condemned it to death, and will not allow her parents to take her out of the country for treatment. I first mentioned James Younger in October of 2019. His mom had convinced him he was really a girl, and got sole custody in a divorce. There’s more to the story now. I have some good news and some bad news. And what more can I say about the botched withdrawal / retreat from Afghanistan? Well, I have my own quick take. Mentioned l ..read more

Just private companies, or something more? Why would you voluntarily seek to represent a group that you disagree with? And should you be replaced in that representation? When Big Tech social media companies ban someone, some suggest that since they are private companies that’s OK. But there are other considerations. And what happens when they start doing the bidding of the government?

Banned on Twitter It seems that these days you can be sent to Facebook or Twitter “jail” for merely stating scientific facts or bedrock judicial principles. Or you could lose your job entirely. Who would do such a thing? The enhanced unemployment benefits due to the COVID pandemic can have a downside that, in the long run, will hurt the workers it’s supposed to be protecting. But there is a better way, if Democrats can get on board.
