Episode 76: The USA Today's Sweet Tooth

Fake News is everywhere, including apparently, the USA Today. Recently the USA Today turned the front page of their June 4th weekend edition into an advertisement for Sweet Tooth, a TV show on Netflix about human/animal hybrid babies. The problem with the ad is that it was disguised as a legitimate news story instead of a traditional ad. In an era where the public does not trust major news outlets, this was beyond stupid.

Episode 74: Help! We Only Make 500 Thousand Dollars A Year

Sorry, another three week hiatus. Better than 3 months. This week’s rant is focusing on the article by The Financial Samurai which tries to make you believe that a couple living in New York City making $500K a year is nearly broke and struggling to live an average life. Spoiler, nothing about their life is average. They are living the dream and most people would considering doing dishonest or horrible things to have their life. Yes, the absurd budget makes it seem like they need every bit of their $500,000 to get by, but in the end, they aren’t even close to living check to check and this article is nonsense.

Episode 71: It's A Fake National Emergency

President Trump has declared a national emergency along the southern border in order to fund his wall. He is somehow still maintaining Mexico is paying for it through the USMCA and admitted in his speech that he didn’t need to do this. Anytime the President can say he didn’t need to declare and emergency that should be proof enough there isn’t an emergency. This action usurps the power of Congress and was taken simply to make Trump look strong to his base. That endangers our Republic.

The truth is that the situation on the border has been getting better for years and we have a better handle on it today than we have in some time. I have linked articles below to support some of the positions i take in this rant.

I also know that I said “litigate” when referring to Congress. It should be legislate. I suck.

I know, its all fake news!!!

Episode 69: Christmas Dragons

Nope, I didn’t go away again for months. I was asked by Thomas from Sci-Fi Malady if I was doing another war on Christmas rant last week and I said no. I really thought I wasn’t. Then I was sent a story about a woman getting a self righteous note from her neighbor that her dragon Christmas display was inappropriate and she needed to learn the true meaning of Christmas. So, that of course led to this installment of their is no war on Christmas.

Disclaimer - I was raised Baptist. I consider myself a Christian who just avoids the hypocrisy of the Church. I still think there is no war on Christmas, just people who want to celebrate secular Christmas without have Jesus jammed down their throat. It doesn’t mean you can’t make Christmas all about Jesus. Them celebrating secular Christmas doesn’t diminish your religious Christmas.

Episode 68: ABCDE - Pronounced Mom Is A Vapid Self Indulgent DumbFu#^

ABCDE. It is not just the first five letters of the alphabet anymore. It is apparently a child’s name. 328 children apparently. Scary there are that many parents who can’t think about anything but themselves.

Last week Southwest Airlines employees made fun of a five year girls name. That is terrible. What is worse is a mother who names their child ABCDE. Even worse than that is a mother who knew the pain it would cause and did it anyway, because, reasons.

Back to back weeks with a rant. World is ending. Cat’s and Dog’s living together.

Episode 54: Back And To The Left

Well anyone who has known me for a long time knew that this podcast was coming eventually, they just didn't see me taking this angle. I meant to have the posted earlier on 11/22/17, but it will still be topical on 11/23/17. Today it is time to discuss my personal favorite conspiracy, who killed JFK.  Time to answer this question once and for all. 

And yes, I know 30 minutes is not a quick rant.
