Bret & Heather Weinstein go full conspiracy
Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying made some disconcerting statements on their “Dark Horse” podcast about politics and COVID-19. While Weinstein has historically been recognized for his thought-provoking questions, gradually over time, he has delved into the unsubstantiated conspiracy realm. Weinstein raised the possibility that COVID tests could be intentionally unreliable, and potentially manipulated for political gain. He also pondered whether Jill and Joe Biden received different or no COVID vaccinations compared to the general public. These claims, however, lack concrete evidence and are based merely on speculation about what Weinstein believes would be politically advantageous. While being curious and asking questions is essential, making allegations without a factual basis can contribute to the spread of misinformation and unfounded conspiracy theories.
Trump launches INSANE attack on prosecutor after jury tampering claims
Failed former President Donald Trump has come under scrutiny for his attacks on Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, who filed a court motion warning that Trump's public statements may tamper with the jury pool in his ongoing legal matters. Smith accused Trump of making daily extrajudicial statements that could prejudice the case. Trump responded on Truth Social, writing, “Is Deranged Jack Smith, the prosecutor who is continuously overturned due to his unchecked and insane aggression, investigating the political Hacks & Thugs of the highly partisan January 6th Unselect Committee for tampering with, deleting, and destroying highly Confidential & Classified documents, pictures, tapes, evidence, and all forms of other important information? If not, WHY? I fully believe it is because the evidence in question destroys his Fake, Election Interfering, case. DISMISS SUIT!” Trump’s response to Jack Smith’s motion shows he will continue to ignore court orders and refuse to take the charges seriously. If he continues to act in such a cavalier fashion, he should be sanctioned perhaps by being remanded to custody, like any other criminal defendant in his position would be.

Biden polling CRISIS, Democrats want someone else
Recent polling has raised concerns for President Joe Biden's potential reelection bid in 2024. The polls indicate that most Democrats are seeking an alternative nominee, primarily citing worries about Biden's age and declining approval ratings. Some reactions to these findings range from calls for Biden to step aside and make way for a new generation of Democratic leaders to those who believe it's an early overreaction, emphasizing that it's too soon to make drastic decisions. Biden's approval ratings have reached a low point, currently at 39%, which is in the range of Donald Trump and Jimmy Carter, neither of whom secured re-election. The polls also highlight concerns about Biden's age, with 49% of Democrats expressing apprehension, and 75% of Americans overall worrying about his ability to serve a full term. Despite these concerns, the polling only reflects a snapshot of the current moment, with many voters not yet fully engaged in an election that is still over a year away.

PROJECT 2025: They have a plan to make Trump dictator
A recent article on Salon has raised concerns about a purported plan to turn failed former President Donald Trump into a de facto dictator if he wins re-election in 2024. The piece contends that Trump is effectively a “dictator in waiting,” as he has already begun making threats against perceived adversaries, including imprisonment and other punitive actions. Trump's alarming rhetoric, such as his interview with Glenn Beck where he mentioned imprisoning his enemies, is highlighted as an example. It also discusses the notion of an infrastructure being created by Trump's advisors to implement “Agenda 47” and “Project 2025,” with the aim of establishing a neo-fascist dictatorship in the United States. These plans include proposals like forcing homeless people into camps, imposing the death penalty for certain crimes, ending birthright citizenship, and dismantling elements of the government. This article underscores the high stakes in the 2024 elections and the need to prevent candidates like Trump from gaining power to protect democratic values and institutions.

Hello David I really like your show I like your new backdrop
It is disturbing that Brad Raffensperger, the GA Secretary of State who rec'd the calll from Trump asking for "just (a few) more votes to win the election," isn't going to prevent Trump from putting his name on the Republican ballot next year. He doesn't see any reason to penalize Trump.
