Over my lifespan, I have witnessed a growing apathy when it comes to exercising our rights to vote. Too many people hold to the notion that one vote doesn't count. That is a ridiculous and clueless notion disproven by the many purple-fingered people of Iraq and Afghanistan who once held out hope for free and fair elections. Sadly, US and international politics betrayed those people, all of whom put their lives on the line to cast a ballot. In the end, brute force won out in Iraq and the Biden ad...

Over the lifespan of the United States we have seen the political parties employ the mass marketing of both party and aligned candidates to capture the most number of consumers possible. This is smart if winning elections is the only goal. But winning elections is simply the precursor to governing and this is where mass marketing to the lowest common denominator fails the people. I discuss this, and more, with Chuck Wilder on Talkback... RELATED LINK(S): https://www.undergroundusa.com/p/election...

A reminder to parents, please be sure to check your child's trick-or-treat candy. There are reports of candy-looking fentanyl going around. Ingesting just a little bit of it could kill your child. So, please make sure your child knows not to eat any of the candy while they are out and before you get to inspect it. Then, in this segment of The Captain's America: Third Watch, I talk current events including the Midterm Elections, the diesel fuel shortage, and the idea of taking back our country th...

With Halloween weekend upon us, please be sure to check your child's trick-or-treat candy. There is a candy-looking fentanyl going around and ingesting just a little bit of it could kill your child. You will also want to make sure your child knows not to eat any of the candy while they are out and before you get to inspect it. We all need to do our part to make this Halloween safe and devoid on unnecessary tragedy. With the Southern border wide open, we have to be extra vigilant about the conseq...

There is a lot of truth in the adage, “history repeats itself.” Even a pedestrian student of history understands that if we ignore the important moments of history – if we ignore the lessons of history, we both hobble ourselves to being able to capitalize on that history and doom ourselves to repeating the mistakes made in the past. The absolute need for all of us to rededicate ourselves to life-long learning – especially where US history is concerned – returned to me after searching for some qu...

If we are guilty of at least one thing in our fast-paced, self-indulgent society it is this. We consistently fail to learn the lessons that an adequate knowledge of contemporary history affords. As the Biden administration - and even former-CIA director and Marine General David Petraeus - advance the war narrative where US troops engaging in Ukraine is concerned, we are failing to recognize that we have no dog in this fight. Further, we are failing to realize that the Biden administration is att...

For the record, I can take or leave Steve Bannon. When he came on the scene at Breitbart all those years ago after Andrew’s death – at which time I was writing for the Big Government section there, the online publication moved away from one of its core missions: to educate on the issues. Instead, it took a more sensationalist tone. That said, I hold no animosity toward him, but that’s not what this podcast is about. For me this is about the incredible double-standard being executed in our Execut...

Last week, former US Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democrat from Hawaii, stunned her party by rejecting them, announcing that she had left the Democrat Party because of their intolerant and extremist ideology; an ideology centered in divisive racism and sexism, and which divided the country on a plethora of issues including economic class and religion. Her indictment was profound and accurate and deserves to be heard by everyone. Now I won’t say that I agree with everything Gabbard has championed...

As conditions continue to devolve in Ukraine - and as Russian Vladimir Putin slowly positions himself to the Cat-Bird seat, the idea that all is not as it would seem comes into play. Recently, we had a former head of the Joint Chiefs opine that Putin was tantamount to a cornered animal. But is this really the case? As I see it, there's only one way that Mr. Putin really loses in the current scheme of things and that's if Ukraine flat-out defeats the Russian military on the battlefield. Even then...

In this two-part episode I tackle a few subjects because, as they say, when it rains it pours, and we just had one of the worst storms in American history. In the first segment Matt Bruce and I talk on The Captain's America: Third Watch about Hurricane Ian, the rescue efforts, and how some on both the Left and the Right are being absolutely ridiculous, if no heartless, in their need to opine on the matter. Sometimes it's just best not to politicize a subject. In the second segment I address a tw...

The heavy-handed tactics of the Department of Justice and the FBI in using full-on, militaristic brut force against non-violent suspects in their raids has crossed the line from questionable to unacceptable. These are the tactics of the Castro's in Cuba, Xi in China, Maduro in Venezuela, and the Soviet era In Pennsylvania, a local pro-life activist - a Catholic author, radio host, and father of seven children under the ages of 13 - had the FBI, guns drawn, raid his house to arrest him on a charg...

If you live in Florida or on the Southern or Southeastern coasts of the United Sate long enough you are going to be in the crosshairs of a hurricane or tropical storm. Those living on Florida's west coast up into the Big Bend east of Tallahassee are about to feel that pain with the arrival of Hurricane Ian, the first significant storm of this late hurricane season (sorry global warming people). If you are in the cone of uncertainty, you should be preparing to either hunker down for a few days wi...

Vice President Kamala Harris’ insistence that the southern border of the United States is secure is a statement fully encamped in the realm of the absurd. And now that some of the more traditionally far-Left bastions are experiencing the many negative effects of illegal immigration – courtesy of some brave governors, the hypocrisy of their “sanctuary lie” is laid bare for all to see. The question that must be asked – in tandem with and in addition to the immigration subject, and a point that nee...

For years - years - I have been telling you how the dark money, special interest, elites have been manipulating the information presented to you to consume. I have talked about David Brock and Media Matters and how the mainstream media complex is bought and paid for by the radical Left. Now comes the Good Information Foundation. A whistleblower from the Left side of the aisle has bravely come forward to out the Good Information Foundation as an entity that pays social media influencers to create...

Now that the potential rail strike has been averted, it would seem a perfect time to address the ongoing supply chain issues that the Biden administration has perfectly ignored. The fact that the US Transportation Secretary wasn't even involved in the railway contract negotiations examples how thoroughly inept and dysfunctional this administration is. Which leads to an even more base point. Why has it become common place for the federal government to involve itself so intimately with the inner-w...

It remains unclear as to whether the remembrances offered up by the mainstream media complex and the inside-the-beltway crowd were sincere, obligatory, or opportunistic, but one thing is for sure, there was a lot left unmentioned in their memorials. Where was the mention of the First Responders who survived the attacks only to die later from health complications contracted on the pile at Ground Zero? Where was any mention of the 9/11 anniversary attacks in Benghazi when then Secretary of State H...

Every year I dedicate myself to keeping the flame of remembrance alive for those who lost their lives in the Islamofascist attacks on our nation on September 11th, 2001. For those of us who lived through that day, the images, the sounds, and for those who had boots on the ground – both civilian and first responder alike, the smells are forever etched into our memories for all eternity. I remember exactly where I was and what I was thinking as I saw the smoke billowing out of Tower Two of the Wor...

The Biden administration and its handlers (or should I say the fascist cabal that is now in control in Washington, DC), has telegraphed its playbook. Their strategy for the midterms and 2024 are to run against Donald Trump again, regardless of whether he chooses to run or not. We have heard it said with a full throat from several mouths on the radical Left. They want to run against the idea of a radical MAGA Republican Right. As usual, the fascists of the Left are transferring their evil-doings ...

In the wake of President Biden's insanely coercive and authoritarian speech that sought to further cement the divide in our country as we approach the Midterm Elections, we see that the puppet masters of the Left - Obama 2.0 - are telegraphing their playbook; their intentions. Their plan is to make the Midterms and the 2024 election a rerun of "Orange Man Bad," doing so by inflaming the divide that started with Obama 1.0. But we don't have to be sucked into playing their game. In fact, if we exc...

The turn of the 20th Century introduced fascism to the United States. Under Woodrow Wilson - and continuing under Franklin Roosevelt, the system of government the Framers created ceased to exist because a fundamental protection for the states was removed in the passage of the 17th Amendment. Today that deviation from the Framers' gift to us has led us to a point in time where Executive Branch agencies, departments, and commissions - like the CDC, EPA, IRS, and SEC - apply unlegislated regulatory...

The Midterm Elections are just months away and the radical Left, the Biden administration, its Obama 2.0 masters, and the mainstream media want to make the election a rehash of the anti-Trump campaign they executed successfully in 2020. The task at hand is capturing the narrative and making the election about policies rather than the cult of personalities. In the second half of the segment, I guest on the Truth to Ponder program with Bob Bierman, a broadcast beamed around the world on short-wave...

As we prepare for the onslaught of propaganda that is coming our way (from both sides) during the lead-up to the Midterm Elections, we all need to take a step back from the preferred narratives being foisted upon us by the political Left and mainstream media and ask ourselves one question. What has “progressed” under the “progressive” movement? Keep in mind that the “progressive” movement is a political movement; an ideological movement, that has very little – if anything – to do with the actual...

Well, it appears US Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), has unleashed the purse strings of his Senate PAC, and now everyone who dared to take issue with the Deep State bureaucratic establishment has to watch his or her tongue. Why? Because even though it would hurt a campaign not to receive the Senate PAC money because a candidate wasn't on his knees to McConnell, it hurts, even more, when he unleashes the power of that money against you in your home state primaries. Come to think of ...

It is astounding why a rising star amongst the political Right at the national level - a woman with name recognition, a legacy, and a solid base - would attach her entire political career on attempting to settle some kind of score against Donald Trump. But Liz Cheney did and now her career is in ashes. Then, as she was standing in the middle of the burnt-out shell of her political career, she tripled down by attempting to conjure thoughts of Abraham Lincoln while floating the idea of a Chenery f...

In the days after the questionably legal FBI raid on Donald Trump's Mar-A-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida - and after a crazed gunman committed suicide by cop at an FBI office in Ohio, The US Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security issued a joint BOLO stating that they are aware of threatening language being used against federal law enforcement. This BOLO should be considered a direct threat to free speech rights and the peoples' right to redress their government as mandat...

It was very public; vert overt. Pro-administration agents swooped in, searched, and detained prominent members of the opposition – politicians and society leaders – on questionable charges of “subversion” in the hope of eliminating competition in the upcoming elections. Of course, I am speaking of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega. I suppose I could excuse your confusing that opening paragraph with the events surrounding the banana-republic-styled raid on former-President Donald Trump’s home in...

Perhaps one of the biggest deceptions ever foisted on the American people emanates not from a Barnum sideshow or Ripley’s Believe It Or Not exhibit, but one that emanates from the halls of government and at every level. Regardless of whether it is at the local, county, state, or federal level, the charlatans of politics have convinced the American people that politics is government. It is not. Politics is the “art” of getting elected. Government is the execution of serving the people. And while ...

Even those preparing for college by attending their remedial reading and mat classes weren't fooled by the deceptive dysinformation used to pass the so-called "Inflation Reduction Act." Not only did it not affect inflation in any way but to perhaps increase it, the move levied a tax hike on all demographics across the board while grifting almost $400 billion for the Green New Deal which was roundly defeated just last year. It is abundantly obvious that the federal government no longer serves the...

With the looming passage of the poorly-named Inflation Reduction Act, Senate Democrats are proving that the well-being of the nation's citizens comes in second to bullying through even a few of their radically fascist agenda. Hundreds of economists signed a letter to members of the Senate, pointing out that the measures they are voting on will hurt the economy and, therefore, hurt the American people. But the "nudge-science" that the radical Left employs in kneeling at the altars of power sees t...
