  • Summary

  • Far left. Far right. Conservative. Liberal. Republican. Democrat. Can't fully relate? Me either. But nearly all public discourse and media is centered upon the views share by one of the two political parties - and often those shouting the loudest from the extremes of both sides. This isn't just a political podcast. It's a podcast on life and society, with politics mixed in. But from a viewpoint we do not hear enough from - the middle.

I decided to do a brief overview of both - not to sway opinion - to provide context as to both what DOGE is attempting to accomplish and what led to the confrontation between Zelensky and Trump in the Oval Office last week.

    Super Bowl Sunday is the pinnacle of sports fandom in America. It's also a good indicator of American Society at the moment. And what this past weekend showed was a societal shift is taking place. Ft. Bragg is back to being named Ft. Bragg but this time for a Better Bragg. And may we not make the same mistake with Kanye West that we did with Sean Combs.
