I have objective views and I am a jerk. I am catholic and I am conservative, but this is not a faith based or political podcast. I am a "normal" person that likes to discuss many topics and although I view things through a catholic/conservative lens, my time in the Army has also left me with an a*****e complex. I am not an expert nor am I perfect, but I am Objective and I am a Jerk, so join the Objective Jerk as my Catholic conscience battles with my veteran outlook.

    PERMITS, EMPTY RESERVOIRS, AND INCOMPETENCE: Dip Shit Demoacrats Can't Do Shit.

    Today I discuss/Bitch about the Palisades Fire and the claims around why it spread, why recovery feels stalled, and why so many people can’t get clear information without digging for firsthand videos.

    I wind down at night with calamansi juice, air out a quick thought on current news, then shift into what finally grabbed me on Netflix.

    TRUMP VS THE POPE: A New Catholic Weighs Trump’s Feud With Pope Leo

    I share my take on the Trump and Pope Leo's beef from the perspective of a conservative-leaning Catholic who still supports Trump but rejects the noise and bad religious optics.
