  • The Russian Oil Con
    Oct 22 2026
    What the hell is going on with this Russian diesel deal and Trump's betrayal of Ukraine? Let's discuss (1) Putin's recent offer to hand over Lukoil, a massive Russian oil company, as part of "peace negotiations" with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff; (2) the scandal brewing as the White House denies they compromised Ukraine's Starlink / Starbridge access during recent Russian missile assaults on Kyiv, where there is U.S. personnel assisting Ukraine; and (3) how Katie Zacharia's brief yet controversial tenure as Press Secretary may have been part of the whole ploy. Plenty to see here!

  • The Election Con
    Apr 1 2026
    Trump is working to compromise our election system using force and changes to our voting process. Today I share why I'm 100% certain he plans to declare a "national emergency" to claim more power in months to come; why Trump is just like scammers who text you; and simple steps you can take to protect your vote from interference. Every con man thrives on the element of surprise, so predicting what he will do is a first line of defense. This promises to be the first of many episodes on the contours of Trump's Election Con.
