    United We Stand…

    Really struggling with the divides in our country. If you’ve ever listened before, you know where I’m going with this. I’m a little out of practice so sorry if it gets incoherent, but hey, I’m just your basic American laborer; what do you expect? https://youtube.com/shorts/D2diZhSXiMg?si=s6ad6zWXZysoslQk

    Cease Your Concerns, Idiots!

    Hey, as a basic knuckle dragging American, I’m wrong often! But is it possible to be wrong and right at the same time? Not according to Ben Shapiro. We kick around what is happening with the cease fire between Iran and Israel, and toy with what might have been possible. More importantly what could have been PROBABLE under another president.

    Mining the Centrist Soil…For Hope?

    We appear to be on the precipice of another regime change war. Where you at Tulsi? Anyway, I go on at some length, vaguely, about how centrist independent populism is the only way to take back our republic. Wish I had sounded more hopeful, but this isn’t going to happen overnight.

    The State of FU and Looming AGI

    I’m a week late, but what’s new? Today I dive into the State of The Union, or the Prez addressing congress, whatever you want to call it, cause I didn’t get many good vibes SO I NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT haha. https://youtu.be/GCM9_cdwHNw?si=imgwZPvyjXjLHxfd : Democrat with This is not Normal sign.

    The Tiff Heard ‘Round the World

    I supposed it was time to dive into a little of what Trump has done during his first 5 weeks as president. But then there was the shocking argument he had with the Ukrainian president, so we had to touch on that. I gave some ham fisted opinions on USAID, which is the biggest thing that the administration has done so far (speaking of ham fisted), but maybe it’s not such a bad thing; not only for US citizens, but for the future of democracy on the planet? I’m still dubious but we’ll see. https://confronting-capitalism.pinecast.co/episode/77925932/don-t-cry-for-usaid http://oig.usaid.gov/node/7359 : Article about Chemonics International https://congressionaldish.com/cd244-keeping-ukraine/ :Congresssional Dish

    The Thorn of Tribalism

    In this episode I rely heavily on Andrew Heaton’s new book: Tribalism is Dumb: Where it Came From, How it Got So Bad, and What to do About it. I read a passage from the book and discuss how the defined terms of progressive/socialist, Conservative, Libertarian, and Populist don’t actually have that as many differences as they might think—if they would just strip away the nonsense dividing them. I can’t recommend the book enough, hope you check it out and enjoy!

    Time To Get Real…Time

    So many things to discuss, but instead I got sidetracked by Bill Maher. https://youtu.be/dskdjJJ7bnQ?si=RCLQ8yE55hVKYUsz Medical bills account for 40% of bankruptcies: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1127305/ John Brown: Pottawatomie Massacre * On May 24–25, 1856, Brown and his men killed five pro-slavery settlers in Pottawatomie Creek, Kansas
