Fireside Chat Ep. 148 — We Must Understand History To Value Liberty Aug 20, 2020

In a revealing new development, teachers openly lament that at-home learning allows parents to hear their lessons.

Fireside Chat Ep. 141 — Do You Know How Special America Is? Jul 02, 2020

Show notes

“We are witnessing one of the most irrational developments in the history of the world.” The left is a destructive force, raising an entire generation to think that this country is racist, misogynist, and imperialist. If America is so racist, why is it the most popular country for people to immigrate to? Did they not get the memo? This episode is sponsored by Thinkr.org.

Show notes

Are blood ties really the strongest/most important relationships? Many say yes, but think about this: family doesn’t have to be blood.

Show notes

This is what happens when society enters an anti-religious and anti-rational age. Hysteria. On race, this should be the ideal: We are all American, living in a melting pot of racial integration.
