Leftists spent years calling Donald Trump a fascist who would imprison or even kill his opponents. Now, these total cowards are talking about a peaceful transfer of power to a man they called Hitler. Leftist pundits are also noticing a collapse of support and subscribers as Democrats burn out and tune out. Podcast host J. Burden joins me to discuss.

This video is the first in a series exploring hyperagents and the role that post-human forces can exert on modern politics. In this installment we explore how tradition and culture shape human civilization and the role that technology and ideology can play in radically altering those cultures. War, conquest, trade, and religion can create organizations that begin by serving particular nations but eventfully shape human behavior to serve their interests.

As the poll numbers for the presidential election tighten, the Democrats have made a number of blunders, including Joe Biden referring to Trump supporters as "garbage."

Labor leaders inevitably realize their personal interests differ from those of the average union member.
