In this episode, we take a look at where the Midterm Blue Wave originated from.

We now know that a huge group of people who did not vote in 2024 (because they weren't politically interested, disliked their options, were too young, whatever) showed up in large numbers to oppose the current thing. These voters broke hard for Democrats.Their #1 issue was the economy; they blamed the party in power for it and voted for change.

They did not suddenly become Democratic Socialists, and they did not vote based on any sort of agreement with the policy...

In this episode I offer my many thoughts and reflections on the 2026 Midterms.

Gaetz lawsuit, celebrate Maurene Comey’s big win, and provide updates on the following criminal cases: Bolton, Brinksman, Floris, and SPLC.Be advised, there may be some editing errors and bloopers in this episode.

In this episode, we catch up on news in the Rep. Ilhan investigations (some small news items there and one VERY significant reveal by DOJ), and I introduce three new cases I’ll be tracking: the RICO case against Virginia State Senator Lucas and her family; a leak case involving a CIA contractor who fed classified intelligence to his girlfriend so she could write about it on Substack; and the case of two former senior FBI officials who allegedly made false statements to Congress in testimony about the Hunter Biden investigations and one of his laptops.

In this episode, we find possible explanations for the Trump, Musk, Ukraine, and Starshield disinfo ops; we take a look at the civil suit brought by two Jane Does against Matt Gaetz and a couple of his buddies; and we catch up on some big updates in the J5 Pipe Bomber Case.

In this episode, I attempt to sort through news stories and statements regarding the reported slowdown, interruptions, and limitations on Starshield in the Russo-Ukrainian War.

Musk says, “It wasn’t me.” Trump says, “It wasn’t me.” Media says, “It was Musk and Trump.” Zelenskyy says, “It’s still not fixed.” Pentagon says… nothing.

Spoiler: we don’t actually figure out what happened or why, but the exercise of going through it all provides lessons in filtering news, comparing reports, and staying sober-minded in an environment that constantly begs you to get drunk on emotion and political bias.

In this episode, I dig into who Rep. Ilhan Omar and her family are and find that investigators are examining at least four things right now: immigration fraud, her personal finances, her campaign’s finances, and her contacts with at least one foreign contact.

I also look deeper into the Talarico Hoax and find strong ties to grifters, scammers, and perhaps even the SVR.

Finally, I walk through the claims that Ukrainian strikes on Yandex data centers in Russia took out Russian bots and affected the viewership and engagement of dissident-right podcasters and similar figures.

In this episode: news that HSI, with DOJ alongside, executed a search warrant this morning at Rep. Ilhan Omar’s D.C. residence as part of a criminal fraud investigation into her family’s immigration to the U.S.—on Columbus Day. It has me in stitches.

In other news, Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan, who on November 5, 2009, killed 13 people and wounded more than 30 others, is headed for a firing squad. I go over a report on his radicalization and discuss my views on the death penalty and whether his execution ought to be televised.

In this episode, I address the self-defeating and foolish notion that “not voting” is a viable strategy for anything other than ushering in left-wing tyranny. I also take on the habit of calling things “fake and ghey,” and the kind of adult make-believe that can tip into psychosis.

To do this, I take two approaches.

First, I share part of my personal story about why I left Badlands Media. I have some experience and insight into the “everything is fake,” “voting doesn’t matter,” and related nonsense, because I was there when these rotten ideas first began to tak...

At 7:06 a.m. on December 4, 2025, Brian J. Cole Jr. was arrested while walking to a 7-Eleven near his home. The FBI took Cole to a staging area and then to the Washington Field Office, where they interviewed him.

Agents first ask Cole about his personal history, his family, his work, and the rest of his background. When they get to the pipe bombs, Cole initially denies any connection. He offers a cover story. He denies, denies, and denies. He gets on what I call the anxiety hamster wheel. Then, after the agents show him some of the...

9/11 twenty-five years later. A generation has grown up with no memory of that morning. In this episode I sit with the footage, the posts, the commemorations, and my own memories of September 11, 2001.I walk through videos and images from the day—the impacts, the collapses of the Twin Towers and WTC 7, President Bush being told the news, the extraordinary courage of first responders, and I talk about what the images from that day still do to people who lived through it. I also look at how conspiracy theories around 9/11 have grown larger, more accessible, and more mainstream over the la...

In this episode, we go over the newly released Oxferd Comma investigation memos, which show that just days after Comey was fired, Acting FBI director Andy McCabe opened a full investigation into Trump. The very next day, it was taken away from him and given to Special Counsel Mueller. We’ve long known this took place, but we never knew the name of the investigation, and the versions of these memos that were released years ago had more redactions than the new ones do.

Next we catch up on the most important June and July filings in th...

In this episode, I offer my observations and thoughts on the Iran and Ukraine conflicts, give updates on the J5 pipe bomber case, and highlight the many mentions of Fauci in the David Morens indictment.

In this episode, I take you through US District Judge J.P. Boulee’s order, which denied Fulton County’s petition for the return of 656 boxes of original 2020 election records (which include ballots, envelopes, tabulator receipts, electronic records, etc.), thereby opening those boxes up for inspection by FBI investigators as part of their ongoing criminal probe into the 2020 election.

That’s the only topic for the episode. Just a thorough read of the order in order to gain 1) an education on the background of the case, the 2020 election probe, the search warrant, the affidavit, the probable cause, and wh...

In this episode, Virginia Dems’ plans for a 10-1 map in the Commonwealth have been dashed by the state’s Supreme Court; the FBI executes criminal search warrants at properties owned by VA State Senator Louise Lucas; Fulton County loses its bid to stop the DOJ from reviewing 2020 election records, and at the same time a new special counsel hits them with subpoenas for employee and volunteer info; the WHCA Dinner shooter gets a new judge and files to disqualify DC Attorney Pirro; and the DOJ responds to SPLC’s motions for grand jury transcripts.

In this episode, I go over updates in the criminal case against the SPLC, including their motions for disclosure of grand jury transcripts and restrictions on statements by the DOJ; provide insight into Cole Tomas Allen’s status and hearing before Magistrate Judge Faruqui (and review a couple J6 cases to help neutralize the REEEEEEEEacting so many people are engaging in); and give an update on the case of defense contractor Aurelio Perez-Lugones, who stole classified intelligence related to Venezuela and gave it to WaPo’s Hannah Natanson.

In this episode, I go over a new indictment against the SPLC (for paying extremists to be extreme), a new indictment against Fauci advisor Dr. David Morens (for a conspiracy to reacquire an NIH grant and control the COVID-19 narrative), another indictment against former FBI Director James Comey (for posting the 8647 seashell arrangement on his Insta), and I break down yet another failed assassination attempt against Trump and members of his administration.

In this episode, I talk about human nature, influence ops, conspiracy slop, and the calculated turn against President Trump by what I call Team Centipede.

This isn’t a document-heavy episode. Instead, I walk you through media, posts, events, associations, and observations. I highlight some things I’ve gotten right, some things I’ve gotten wrong, and admit to being fooled myself.

It’s not a particularly positive or negative episode—just a candid one. My hope is that it encourages you to troubleshoot your own information systems and to swap out faulty or unreliable components...

In this episode, I share my thoughts on (and support for) the U.S./Israel war with Iran, discuss info wars and influence campaigns causing confusion and spreading disinfo, encourage gatekeeping in the America First movement (and generally), and also complain about a cracked tooth.

In this episode, I cover three subjects: 1) a Special Prosecutor, DNI Gabbard, and the FBI raid on the Fulton County 2020 election records; 2) the six-count indictment of a DOW contractor for theft and transmission of classified intelligence to WaPo journalist Hannah Natanson—who I think will soon be indicted also; and 3) the indictment of Don Lemon and eight others for their disruption and shutdown of a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota.

I’ve got court documents, news articles, press releases, and videos to go with all of it. I think y’all are going to really like this e...

In this video, I do my best to provide an overview, a frame-by-frame breakdown, context, and an analysis of the Alex Pretti shooting based on the information that is available as of January 27, 2026. And then I offer some sharp criticism of Pretti and the Trump Admin’s initial responses and handling of the incident.

In this episode, I’ve got a problem. A problem I haven’t fully figured out the source or contours of, even as I hit record.But by walking through several news stories that either directly or tangentially connect to the issue I’m wrestling with, I start finding a path toward identifying it, breaking it down, and—hopefully—going some way towards resolving it.

I’m not entirely sure whether bringing my conundrum straight to the microphone is the smartest way to work through it, haha… but I figured it might help (and it actually did help), and I’m...

In this packed episode, I provide the ‘Understanding > Reacting’ perspective on the Renee Good shooting, briefly discuss recent resignations and firings at DOJ, detail recent updates in the several cases (Richman, J5 Pipe Bomber, Maduro), read through a new criminal complaint against a defense contractor who took classified information home and MAY have shared it with a WaPo journalist, and I close the episode with commentary on the massive protest in Iran and the likelihood of the U.S. getting involved.

After I finished the episode, I came across this short thread by Tyler Rogoway and wished I co...

In this episode I take you through the most recent happenings and filings in the civil suit Daniel Richman brought against DOJ (Richman v. United States).

The episode is long but not at all short on interesting developments and disclosures.

The Richman case, which at first presented as a fairly straightforward return of seized property case, has turned out to be far more peculiar. The extent of what most people know about it is the surface-level take of “Grrr, bad judge protects Comey by stopping Trump DOJ from getting Richman’s communications.” Or something along those...

Apologies, I had an error in the first version of this episode that resulted in the video having an abrupt ending. Since more news just came out about the J5 pipe bomber case, I decided to record another update on it, splice it in with the rest of the updates on that case, and republish this episode as one that is solely focused on the case of United States v. Brian J. Cole Jr.

In this episode, I briefly discuss former Special Counsel Jack Smith sitting for a closed-door hearing before the House Judiciary Committee and then dive into the case of Richman v. United States.

It’s a very interesting civil case that’s like a follow-up to the dismissed criminal case against Comey, Richman of course being Person 3 from the indictment against Comey. Richman is trying to get a judge to order DOJ to give him back the materials seized from him pursuant to four Arctic Haze search warrants. Or, destroy what they took. Since that material was central to t...

I also put together a blooper reel from recent recordings at the end of the episode.

The short-lived criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey for one count of false statement and one count of obstruction is dead and appears unlikely to be revived. So it seems a decent time to ask:Did we get what we wanted out of the James Comey case?Well, it depends on what you were in it for.

In this video I brief you on two distinct threats to United States v. James Comey, one of which could result in a dismissal in the next few days.

The two threats are 1) a ruling by Judge Currie on Comey’s motion challenging the appointment of Lindsey Halligan and 2) Judge Nachmanoff’s review of irregularities in the grand jury proceeding and Comey’s motion for disclosure of those proceedings.

In this episode, we go over the criminal case against multiple Antifa-affiliated defendants who recently received either a plea deal OR a superseding indictment, which added new charges—including rioting, attempted murder, and terrorism.

Then we turn to the criminal case against Comey and the numerous significant issues that are elucidated in a new ORDER and MEMORANDUM from Magistrate Judge Fitzpatrick. Though U.S. Attorney Halligan was able to get a STAY on that order, the case appears to be in dire straits, as missteps, misconduct, violations of the defendants’ rights, and improper procedures before the grand jury...

In this episode, I bring you up to speed on the latest filings in United States v. Comey, particularly regarding the grand jury proceedings that generated the indictment and the issue of Lindsey Halligan’s appointment as Interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. One judge is examining whether or not privileged material was shared with the grand jury, and another judge is considering the lawfulness of Halligan’s appointment. Both issues have the potential to sink the case. In support of their case and the appointment, DOJ has filed new affidavits from two FBI agents and...
