Well folks, it's time for the time to come clean with our sentiment and concerns surrounding the upcoming 2024 election. The highly probable ripple effects are very intense (like circuses and camping combined) so let's chat about them. What's at stake here? An entire idea. An idea that this nation was born from. An idea under assault from globalists who never appreciated nor understood the American spirit. So let's do what we can and look to our communities to represent these concerns in less th...

It's not very often you get the opportunity to listen to your prescribed enemy articulate their motivations for invading a neighboring country in great detail. In the interest of being exposed to alternative opinions and not just focusing on what we believe to be right, the team decided to give the Tucker/Putin interview a good swing. Given how closely the current administration is dragging us to WW3, we figure you may have some vested interest as well. Hit us up on social media on X or Instagra...

What's going on guys? It's sure going on for us, some wild bois in Yemen and hopefully you. Yemen's presence in the news is usually characterized by tales of famine, terrorism or piracy yet little is ever mentioned about why and how this became the reality for not just Yemen as a nation, but the Houthis as a people. Hop on in as we take a little ride over the sands of Arabia and enjoy the episode.

Folks we aren't here to be popular. We are here to dissect events, apply our experience and perspective and conduct analysis that will ultimately help you enable a newer understanding of a topic. The near constant conflict between Palestinians and Israelis is a tough one to watch. Both sides bring decent arguments and stances that justify their actions, but then again don't we all? In a World plagued by historical trauma, some recent, some distant, we all have to make the conscious choice to han...

While we are all familiar with some of the more recent US interventions in the Middle East and all the fall out associated with those failures, the US Government has attempted to subvert, destroy and manipulate the political systems of other countries for a long time. It is important to view these operations and efforts through an objective historical lens, and the team applies this sentiment to run through the background of the Sandinistas and Contras as well as other historical US involvement ...
