It seems as though the Joe Rogan controversy has for the most part blown over. In our most recent article on the subject we suggested it would all come down to the advertisers. If they stuck around, Rogan would most likely be safe at Spotify. For now, it appears as though that has happened. But now that it has blown over, does it tell us anything about the state of the country and how we…

Those who follow the news closely may be aware of this but it’s a detail that mostly flew under the radar for most people. As you remember, one person was shot and killed at the January 6th protests. It was a female Trump supporter named Ashli Babbitt. She was shot by U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd, who was cleared of any wrongdoing in the case. But there is one strange detail that seems to…

Canada just proved an old saying true. That being if your money isn’t free, you’re not free either. When the government can simply seize or threaten to seize your money, you are no more free than a citizen in China or any third world dictatorship. Just last week we wrote about how dangerous these “state of emergency” loopholes are. Not more than a few days later Prime Minister Trudeau proved us right by making the…

It’s not hyperbole anymore. The lockdowns very much appear to have destroyed society on some fundamental level. To be clear, I don’t fully understand why and I doubt any experts even do. Combine that with the political aspect of the lockdowns and the fact that so many in power advocated for them, it’s going to be a while before an honest study of them can be performed. But without a doubt, something broke in society…

It really illustrates the crazy times we live in when a guy with pretty mainstream, blue-collar opinions is being labeled as the most far-right, conspiracy nut in the world. Of course, I’m talking about Joe Rogan. A person who simply hosts guests on his show, albeit the most popular show in the world. Joe Rogan isn’t a pundit, he doesn’t claim to be an expert on anything. He simply has guests on his show and…

I feel bad for younger people who now have to grow up in a world without access to proper comedic satire. This isn’t to say the world was perfect in the “old days”, but if you are old enough to remember the days before the internet, you do realize there is a distinct difference now. One of the biggest differences I have noticed is the complete lack of genuine satire and parody on television or…

If you’re anything like me, you can feel it in the air. You can call it a shifting narrative, or even a zeitgeist, but it’s clear that some of the most die-hard covid doomers are now waking up to reality. And they are indeed “waking up” in the sense that many people, nearly half the population, were in a trance-like state created by propaganda and fear mongering. I suppose you can’t really blame them. When…

It may sound strange, but a lot of things we talk about here I actually hope turn out to be wrong. Some of the topics can get a little gloomy and paint a somewhat bleak outlook, but sadly we have to keep vigilant these days to try to avoid those things coming true. For example, just look at the pandemic and how quickly things were taken from all of us. Did you ever imagine just…

The upcoming Olympics in China are shaping up to be an event where the world can see what China as a country has to offer. For the most part, the includes genocide, slavery, and plenty of mass surveillance. According to the New York Times, the MY2022 app that Chinese officials have deemed mandatory for all athletes to install on their phones is riddled with security “flaws”. However, it’s not much of stretch to believe those…
