Discussing Trump is a dead-end endeavor. Because the people who love him will always support him. And for the people who hate him you will never convince them to not. It is this dynamic that makes him perhaps the most polarizing figure of our time and an interesting case study. This podcast is not designed to change anyone’s mind, if such a thing is even possible. I’m merely going to explore the why of it all. open.spotify.com/episode/0Fs…

Did I hear that right? The Mayor of Chicago, responding to a reporter’s question about violent crime in his City cites, ‘tax breaks to big corporations’ as the cause. It’s this state of mindlessness that is precisely why crime is ever-present in his City. He’s a Mayor of a major US city that’s claiming victimhood while addressing the recent killings of innocent children on his City’s streets. Instead of demonstrating real leadership, he chooses instead to blame a fictitious billionaire bogie man with a specious argument that if only they had more money they could stop these killings. The only real talent here is his ability to maintain a straight face while peddling such mindless dribble.

The New York Times continues their downhill slide towards irrelevance by publishing an article suggesting the Indiana Fever should drop its second most popular player because she's too 'combustible'. According the NYT what's combustible about Sophia Cunningham is her support for women only in woman’s sports. A position so radical that it stands in complete opposition to, 'the most profitable women's professional league' that is, 'powered by the LBGTQIA community'. Two claims that are so far from reality that they should come with a disclaimer. The WNBA has been losing money every year since 1997 and is projected to lose another $40 million next year. And if it's powered by the LBGTQIA community then what does that tell you about that movement. This hit piece on Cunningham is nothing more than bold face bias masquerading as journalism published by a failing media giant in search of relevance.

NYC Mayor Mamdani’s property tax ‘reform’ proposal to adjust rates based on the skin color of a neighborhood is textbook racism. But it’s way more than that. This devout socialist is blatantly challenging the limits of our Constitution, the one thing that represents the largest obstacle to his communist utopian dream. Let there be no doubt of his intention to incrementally dismantle the very laws that were put in place to prevent the exact thing he hopes to accomplish, the destruction of the American way.

$7,000,000,000.00 That’s how much money the US Treasury must borrow every day, 365 days a year just to meet its financial obligations. Every working American under the age of 50 has 15% of their GROSS income taken directly from their paychecks that goes into a program that’s going broke and is money they will never see. We spend more than half of every waking hour chasing a currency that is losing value by the minute. And all the while we are arguing amongst ourselves about insignificant, shiny object issues that, by comparison are meaningless.

While his audacity pisses off half the country it’s that same audacity that has given rise to greater US security and economic opportunity all across the globe. This President’s latest move that locks up military and economic control of Greenland is just the latest example of his dedication to do what is in the best interest of every American regardless of your opinion of the man. He has done more to reshape the landscape of an entire planet to favor US interests than the last eight Presidents combined. Love him or hate him you can’t deny his effectiveness in getting done what could have and should have been done over the last 50 years that no other President has had the political courage to even attempt.

The best thing about AI is that no one truly knows where this technology is heading, which makes the topic ripe for vigorous debate. Of late we have one fear mongering AI researcher telling us that there's a chance AI 'could kill us all' in 10 years. While at the same time we have a Facebook co-founder pledging up to $1 billion to counteract this AI doomerism crowd. And in the middle of it all we have a Congress who just punted on the issue of government regulation. This is evidence that we are still in the prepubescent stage of our understanding of this technology and a long way off from when the machines are set to enslave all of humanity. For me, I have the utmost confidence in our collective ability to make the most of what AI has to offer while we simultaneously work out the kinks. There is a great expanse of time between now and when the AI boogieman is set to take over the world. Enough time for an intelligent species like ourselves to work it all out long before any real danger arrives.

The WOKE fad is officially over, thank God. With Nike losing 80% of its value in large part due to its mindless adherence to this flawed ideology, the world has taken notice. Never again will any company enact the financially fatal effects of this superfluous virtue signaling. The people have spoken, and we aren’t down with disrespecting the core principles that has made the USA the preferred destination for people craving basic human rights. Things like freedom of thought, freedom of association and freedom of movement. The freedom to call-out irresponsible behavior without fear of reprisal. And the freedom to reject the notion that we are anything less than the best place on the planet to live. #nike #wokeover

There can be no more heinous an act against humanity than a mother strangling her own children to death. There is no amount of psychosis that could grant acceptance for such an act under any circumstance. To do so would expose us all to the whims of anyone with any level of crazy without any fear of reprisals. This is certainly next level tragedy, but anything short of this could easily be justifiable in the name of mental health disorders. I cannot imagine a more dangerous precedent being set where someone could COMMIT such an act and being ALLOWED to walk free.

The latest efforts to promote Socialism have gathered some steam of late and are the topic of much discussion in advance of the 2026 midterm elections. In my mind it seems so unnecessary and mindless to even entertain such foolishness. But the news services need something to talk about and as such have given these movements legitimacy. A legitimacy that requires a complete suspension a critical thinking and historical perspective. A Different Story Podcast open.spotify.com/episode/5Tf…

The people of my generation. The baby boomer consumers who pissed away all of that prosperity left to them by the greatest generation. The worst generation took all of that prosperity and so easily turned into gluttony on the grandest of scales. Majority Leader and every member of the Supreme Court and most members of Congress during the years of unimaginable prosperity and out-of-control spending have all been baby boomers. And many of them are still there in leadership positions, still f#*#ing shit up!

The transgender question the WNBA faces perfectly illustrates the problem as a whole. You can never be sure if the man declaring that he’s now a woman is genuine or designed to game the system. Is the man who goes to jail and suddenly reveals that he now identifies as a woman so he can have better cell mates the same as a transgender who has struggled with his/her identity for years before coming out? A deranged sexual predator will use this to his advantage just as a 7’ man can to make big money playing basketball against girls. There is no definitive litmus test to prove genuine transgender dysphoria. As such it requires that we must err on the side of caution otherwise we will live in a world of enterprising men who will take advantage us all but most notably to the emotional AND physical detriment of women everywhere.

The PT Barnum absolute that there’s no such thing as bad publicity clearly does not apply to the WNBA. At a time when they have a generational superstar that can turn this league into a must-see, they have instead found a way to turn all of that upside into social and political division that is driving fans away. The stunning lack of competent leadership at a time when it’s needed the most only serves to reinforce the ‘go woke, go broke’ maxim. They have backed themselves into a corner from which there is no escape without pissing off both sides. Their collective lack of awareness is a significant blow to feminists everywhere.

The Supreme Court’s ruling regarding mail-in ballots threw out the lower court injunction because they had no standing because no one is being harmed by the enforcement of current election law. The only people being harmed are non-citizens who want to cast a ballot in US elections, something that Congress has made illegal. The President’s primary directive is to enforce federal law and by mandating that the USPS only mail out ballots to American citizens he’s just doing his job. If you disagree with the Supreme Court’s decision take it up with your legislators to change the law to allow non-citizens the right to vote if that’s how you want this country to be governed. All other complaints are simply irrelevant.

It’s not hard to understand why teachers’ unions are failing so miserably in the education of our youth. Instead of focusing on how to raise the plummeting proficiency numbers they are instead dedicating themselves to blackmailing businesses. The boycott they are now funding against Target stores for not speaking their prescribed language as it pertains to the activities of a government agency completely out of their control or within their purview, is evidence of their complete disconnection from reality. To me it looks like a classic distraction strategy less we hold them accountable for the ongoing failure of our public education institutions. #teachers #unión #EducationReform

Joe Rogan will be deeply disappointed when the Democratic Party does not heed his advice and tell the truth about Woke 1.0. There are too many people who have staked out their positions so firmly on the hills of DEI and Wokeness that the reversal Joe is looking for is undoable. This cottage industry they created by creating victims and blackmailing businesses to address those problems to their specifications is too profitable a venture for them to so easily give up. They will continue to lose support and if a reversal in precedent occurs and they fail to regain the majority in the House of Representatives this year, only then will the adults in the party finally stand up to all this ridiculousness’s. #democraticparty #DEI #woke

The US House of Representatives is the place where all of the financial business of the nation is conducted. It's of the utmost significance who controls this office of government. Majority rules here and if you're in the minority you have no power whatsoever. The people of my generation. The baby boomer consumers who pissed away all of that prosperity left to them by the greatest generation. The worst generation took all of that prosperity and so easily turned into gluttony on the grandest of scales. Majority Leader and every member of the Supreme Court and most members of Congress during the years of unimaginable prosperity and out-of-control spending have all been baby boomers.

There will be no justice for anyone who was affected by the indescribable, widespread suffering that was the Covid catastrophe of 2020 as long as there are people who would defend the indefensible for purely partisan reasons. The one man whom we all trusted during those dark days to give us guidance turns out to be the greatest contributor to that suffering. The proof positive that Anthony Fauchi is the culprit is not only in his receiving a preemptive pardon for crimes not yet known but by his refusal to answer for these crimes by standing on his 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination. Let there be no doubt that anyone who would defend his actions or worse yet, vote for the people who would give him this cover are the actual people standing in the way of justice being served for the millions dead or otherwise irreparably harmed by his actions.

Bad move LeBron. The Philly fans will eat you alive. Speaking from experience, they don’t tolerate flopping, complaining, soft defense or taking days off. All of the things that LeBron is famous for. Especially if you’re not winning. Anything short of a trip to the Finals will get you run out of town. Cleveland was a no-brainer for a hometown boy heading towards retirement. Instead, he chose the sport’s frying pan that is Philadelphia. Nobody likes us and we don’t care.

A follow up Different Story on the subject of AI and how it has already been used to assist the US Government in getting better at what it's supposed to be doing. The questions remain on how successful it can be or if it just proves how unprepared we all are for this advancement in technology. open.spotify.com/episode/6JX…
