Can’t fool a School House Rock’er, Big Tech revolving door and Biden’s opposite day

Today I open with an example of why American Civics needs to be taught to a much better degree than it has over the last couple of decades. Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) tweeted his belief that there is a Constitutional requirement to raise the debt ceiling. Let me cut to the chase, there is no… Continue reading Can’t fool a School House Rock’er, Big Tech revolving door and Biden’s opposite day

Emotional attachments to narratives and the CDC’s private Twitter portal

Today we start with the tweet Elon Musk dropped on Sunday where he said his pronouns were "Prosecute" and "Fauci." We dive into that and it reminded me of a story I had been holding for about a week. But, before I tie the Musk tweet with the story I had been saving, we have… Continue reading Emotional attachments to narratives and the CDC’s private Twitter portal

Don’t tell me “they didn’t know” and The Intercept story on Truth Cops

Today's show opens with a quick comment on the evolving narrative surrounding the Paul Pelosi assault and home invasion story. In the last 24 hours, the San Francisco Fox affiliate has retracted that Pelosi and the suspect were found in their underwear; NBC News retracts there were three people in the house; and, Politico retracts… Continue reading Don’t tell me “they didn’t know” and The Intercept story on Truth Cops

Vaccine injury program budget, Kari Lake knows her adversary and government censorship

Today's show opens with an interesting coincidence, which dovetails on last week's news about the CDC voting to add the mRNA vaccines to the childhood/adolescent vaccination schedule. It looks like the Department of Justice is expecting costly settlements in the near future. It seems the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has requested a budget increase of… Continue reading Vaccine injury program budget, Kari Lake knows her adversary and government censorship

OPEC to drill less, the Biden Crime Family and the UN says they own science

Today's show opens with OPEC+ announcing they plan to slow oil production by 2 million barrels of oil a day. All of the begging and cajoling of President Biden did not amount to anything on the world stage. The pressures and the bad decision-making of this Administration have been masked by the release of oil… Continue reading OPEC to drill less, the Biden Crime Family and the UN says they own science

It feels like something more sinister is afoot

I'll admit up front, today's show is a bit different. I had several random stories I wanted to hit, but wasn't sure how to connect them. Then, about two-thirds of the way through the show, I got this weird feeling that something more sinister is at play. It's as if all of the individual stories… Continue reading It feels like something more sinister is afoot

Biden’s address to vilify half of America in his darkest speech yet

Today I focus mostly on the concept of cognitive dissonance as it relates to our current political climate. Later tonight, President Joe Biden is going to address the nation in what will undoubtedly be his darkest and most divisive speech to-date. He did not walk back calling half of the electorate semi-fascists. The White House… Continue reading Biden’s address to vilify half of America in his darkest speech yet

Disinformation Governance Board supported by spreaders of disinformation

In today's episode, I continue discussing the formation of the Disinformation Governance Board and the support it's getting from spreaders of disinformation. It's clear the newly named Director, Nina Jankowicz is the poster child for spreading many of the false news stories when they were first being parroted by most of the legacy media and… Continue reading Disinformation Governance Board supported by spreaders of disinformation

Musk reveals elites do not believe in freedom for all

In today's episode, we spend time speaking a little more philosophically about what the First Amendment to our Constitution really means. It is amazing to watch so many elites in media and the Democrat party reveal themselves for being anti-First Amendment. After all, how else are we supposed to interpret them in light of Elon… Continue reading Musk reveals elites do not believe in freedom for all

Leading from behind is how we continue to lose

In this episode, I have to open with a bit of a rant against the Big Tech "fact-checkers" who are constantly wrong or have to resort to spin to try to stop facts and information from reaching the people. Last week I shared the Swedish study showing Pfizer's mRNA vaccine becomes DNA in human liver… Continue reading Leading from behind is how we continue to lose

Dr. King would not reward weakness

In this episode, I take a moment to remember one of the great speeches of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Not his, "I Have a Dream," speech -- which is marvelous in and of itself. Instead, my favorite is one that very few know and is rarely heard. It is his street sweeper speech. However,… Continue reading Dr. King would not reward weakness

Social media is today’s digital town square

In today's episode, I do my best to tackle the notions of social media being solely a private enterprise. This is often the only argument offered as to why it's okay for "Big Tech" to de-platform voices they don't like. It's one thing if these supposedly private companies want to alienate a portion of it's… Continue reading Social media is today’s digital town square

Big Tech Censorship and the Harm Its Done

In this excerpt from my Saturday show, "Waking Up with Alan," I spend time discussing how the censoring of speech led to a campaign of disinformation from the top of public health and elected leadership. There is a growing body of evidence showing how public officials put pressure on private companies like Facebook, Twitter and… Continue reading Big Tech Censorship and the Harm Its Done
