Michigan families are paying higher electric bills while outages last longer and accountability disappears.

In this episode of Raging Michigan Moderates, we break down why rates keep rising, how billing errors are built into the system, why reliability promises never seem to materialize, and how regulators continue approving increases while families struggle.

We also expose the growing role of massive AI data centers — and how they could lock Michigan residents into even higher energy costs for years to come.

This isn’t left vs right. It’s about fairness, transparency, and who actually benefits.

Iran is at its weakest point in decades — but that doesn’t mean it’s safe.

Joe Steagall and foreign policy expert Ron Bee examine the real power dynamics behind Iran’s crisis: the brutal repression of protesters, the shift toward nuclear brinkmanship, Israel’s growing alarm, and why the next 30 days matter more than most headlines admit.

This episode breaks down military strategy, diplomacy, and the human cost often ignored in the noise.

If you want outrage without understanding, look elsewhere.
If you want context before everything changes, press play.

What if every “unprecedented” crisis is just history hitting replay?

Dennis Brennan—former politician and attorney—connects the dots between Aaron Burr and Donald Trump.

Burr: Revolutionary hero turned “traitor” through elite attacks, media hatchet jobs, and weaponized courts.
Trump: Endless indictments, nonstop lawfare, and the same institutional resistance—200+ years later.

We rip into media bias dating back to Hamilton, government waste, subsidy scams jacking up prices, socialism creeping in through policy, and why the outrage machine keeps Americans divided.

This one hurts… but knowledge is power.
