Donald Trump is a salesman. But what is he selling? It’s not hope, innovation, or positivity? It’s insidious. Donald Trump handed the American right the most dangerous weapon in modern history—manufactured doubt. And he didn’t invent it. He stole it from Big Tobacco’s most insidious playbook. “Doubt is our product.” That was the chilling strategy cigarette companies adopted once science exposed their deadly lie. They couldn’t disprove the truth, so they buried it beneath a mountain of confusion. Pay off doctors. Cherry-pick data. Question the research. Sow just enough uncertainty to paralyze the public. And it worked—for decades. Trump saw that and ran with it. But he didn’t just weaponize doubt—he fused it with something far older and more primal. Tool One: Tribalism Evolution wired humans to distrust outsiders. Trump pulled that ancient instinct to the surface and sharpened it into a political blade. From day one, he cast immigrants as criminals and threats—rapists, murderers, thieves. His followers, primed

Today I’m going to talk about trade and tariffs in a way that even a 5 year old can understand if. Now I know, that probably sounds dry. But if you stick around, I promise you’ll end this episode knowing more about trade and the global economy than most politicians—and certainly more than the President of the United States. And I’m not even trying to be edgy with that. It’s just… true. Here’s the reality: A trade surplus or trade deficit is just the difference between what a country exports and what it imports. That’s it. It’s not a win-or-lose scoreboard. It’s not a sign of national strength or weakness. It’s an accounting detail. A symptom—not a diagnosis. And cutting off trade with another country? That doesn’t “save” us money. It doesn’t “bring back jobs.” What it actually does is shrink the economy. It limits product availability. It raises prices for everything from cars to cornflakes. It triggers inflation. It makes everyone poorer. Period. This isn’t new information. We’ve known it for a long time. An

My Three Moms Today, I want to honor not one, but three extraordinary women. I only ever had one mom. Brenda. The most amazing mom anyone could ask for. But the universe knew I’d need more. And He sent two remarkable women who became mothers to me in every way that mattered—when it mattered most. This is a tribute to my three moms. Let me start with my Aunt Helen. She was the sweetest woman I’ve ever known—heart as wide as the sky. She named me. Literally. My parents couldn’t decide, and it was her suggestion they finally chose. She cut my hair through my teens—never took a dime. She let me crash at her house anytime, no questions asked. She taught me card games—spades, boo ray, and more—and not just how to play, but how to enjoy the little moments. And when I got kicked out of my dad’s house—I deserved it, too—she took me in. No rent. No judgment. Just love, food, and a warm place to be. She didn’t just only help me. She treated every kid like they mattered. Because to her, they did. Then there’s my Aunt Ma

Want to talk trade deficits, imports, tariffs, manufacturing? Let’s dispense with the bullshit: Foreigners didn’t steal your job. You weren’t taken advantage of by evil Mexicans . You weren’t outsmarted by China. You weren’t out-hustled by India. You were betrayed—gutted from the inside—by your own country. IT WAS AN INSIDE JOB! American corporations didn’t lose a war. They committed treason. They looked at you—your life, your labor, your family—and decided you were too expensive. Too demanding. Too human. A burden on their lifestyle. So they cashed you in. Like a used car with too many miles. THE MURDER ON THE PHONE WAS IN YOUR HOUSE THE WHOLE TIME! You think some dude in a rice paddy undercut you? No. It was a CEO in a penthouse with a calculator and a dead conscience. It was the boardroom full of sociopaths who saw a 12-year-old working barefoot in a Cambodian sweatshop and said, “Perfect.” You didn’t lose your job—you were sacrificed. For stock prices. For dividends. For a bigger fucking yacht. Who were t

Is America taking its last gasp? Has all ability to reason vanished? Have we taken the last step away from self reliance, self observation, and chosen to just relinquish all of our concerns to the whims of a single man?

America is in decline. And while politicians are doing everything they can to assist in the decline, ultimately the fault lies at the feet of the American people.

It’s become apparent that MAGA and a large percentage of Americans don’t have a clue about what has happened in Ukraine, or the supposed peace deal. I’m here to help out. Resources:https://www.csis.org/analysis/...https://www.dw.com/en/ukraine-...https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...

Today, we’re diving into something that’s been simmering in the background of global politics and economics for a while now, but it’s starting to boil over in ways that could seriously impact the U.S. economy. And, of course, it ties back to everyone’s favorite orange-hued, tariff-loving president: Donald Trump. Yep, we’re talking about Trump’s tariffs, the rise of BRICS+, and what happens when the U.S. decides to play hardball with global trade. Buckle up, because this is gonna get spicy. Okay, let’s start with the basics. Trump is slapping tariffs on China, Mexico, Canada, and basically anyone who isn’t kissing his ring? Yeah. The idea is to “protect American jobs” and “bring manufacturing back to the U.S.” Sounds great in theory, right? But here’s the thing: tariffs are like a boomerang. You throw them out there, and eventually, they come back and smack you in the face. And guess what? That boomerang is heading straight for us. Now, Imagine this scenario: Canada and Mexico—yes, our neighbors to the north a

The Republican Party, particularly its MAGA faction, has become a case study in cognitive dissonance and moral bankruptcy, a collective psyche so fractured and contradictory that it defies reason. Their rhetoric oscillates between outrage and absurdity, a cacophony of grievances that reveals not just a lack of coherence, but a profound disdain for humanity itself. Take their obsession with welfare and entitlement programs. They rail against the idea of their tax dollars supporting those who don’t work, framing it as a moral failing of the individual rather than a systemic issue. Yet, when Democrats propose initiatives to empower people—those with disabilities, the marginalized, the overlooked—to enter the workforce and contribute meaningfully, Republicans recoil in horror. Suddenly, the very idea of employment for the disabled becomes a lightning rod for their vitriol. They twist it into a caricature, as if hiring a blind person to work in a call center is tantamount to putting them in charge of air traffic c

When is a cake just a list of ingredients. And when is it the finished product. This is a diffusion about abortion and the beginning of life.

While I’m not a believer I do have times where I’m jealous or envious of those who believe in the afterlife and supernatural.

Is it true that the best diet is the diet that works best for you? Let’s talk about that.

Original sin. Blood sacrifice. Only righteous because of the blood of Jesus. Does this jive with the Old Testament? Ezekiel 18:19-27 19 Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. 20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. 21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. 23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways

Looking at this notion that people born one way are sinners while people born another are gods perfect creation.

Talking about MAGA brainwashing and how it has made otherwise intelligent people believe the most nonsensical things.

Today I examine the fundamental philosophy of Christianity. That is the idea that the only way anyone can be forgiven is Jesus just have died, resurrected , they must personally believe that. There is no other way. Jesus sacrificial death and resurrection is required for absolving sin. Without blood sacrifice there is no remission of sins. Your faith. And your belief that Jesus lived, died , and rose again is the only way to be forgiven. Nobody else can have faith for you. 1 Corinthians 15:17,18 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: and if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Romans 1:4; 4:25 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. 1 Peter 2:24  Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. Hebrews 9
