The context of the podcast certainly comes across as angry at least, and belligerent at worst. However, I keep seeing more and more information pointing to me being correct in my fear and rage. Here’s a few links. I’ll make comments.
The Dangerous Reality of White Christian Nationalism by Kat Abu. This one was posted on the 16th of October, which I had not seen before recording my own episode. However, she provides a lot of really good detail and information about the real threat that I’m talking about, White Christian Nationalism. If you watch nothing else I post here, watch this.
JD Vance’s Weird Nazi Lie About Haitian Migrants by Some More News. This is one of the other few voices with a left-leaning stance I believe. They do their research, they share it on-screen and in a link in the description (usually a Google Sheet). This is the video that really got me to start boiling over. I don’t recall this one going over-the-top with some of its absurdist bits, so this could be a good watch for someone unfamiliar with this site.

Other Links
- From MSNBC / CBS Sunday Morning talking with Bob Woodward’s discussion with Gen. Mark Milley. Yes, I know, MSNBC & CBS, but Bob Woodward’s got bona fides for days… decades even. Anyway, Trump’s a fascist.
- Donald Trump sure likes being in court, and yes, the primary source is stupid USA Today, but they seem to be the ones keeping track
- Trump hung out with Epstein. We all know this. Was it as often as, say, Bill Clinton or Alan Dershowitz or Prince Andrew? I don’t know. Probably not. I don’t recall him heading out to the island.
- Fred Trump MIGHT have been a Klan member, or maybe just a fan. This article is behind a paywall but if I ever get ahead on everything I owe I might… but probably not. And this is stupid USA Today, but I won’t discount it just because they’re stupid. Here’s the Wiki if you want a bunch more sources.
- Stupid Michael Cohen making the claim, and apparently apologizing, that “you cannot rape your spouse.” Seriously, if you or anyone you know… Contact RAINN at the very least. Oh, and in case anyone forgot about this dumbass gem, ‘Legitimate rape’ rarely leads to pregnancy, claims US Senate candidate
- Did Women Vote Once they had the Opportunity? is a bit of a read, but very interesting stuff if you’re into that sort of thing.
- Deaths caused by vaccinations by age, year, and vaccine type relates to the UK specifically, but still pretty interesting. I’ll TL;DR though, 2 deaths.
- Global infant mortality rate with and without vaccines, 1974 to 2024 is actually WAY more interesting the links they post below the chart.
- Crime Trends in U.S. Cities: Mid-Year 2024 Update is one source for crime stats, and it admits it’s not a full telling of the US as a whole, but they do see many crimes are down to pre-2019 levels.
- King Leopold II :: Taking down his statues, plus some info, a Britannica article, real brief NatGeo article.
- Canada has also sucked :: Guardian article, Scientific American, and PBS.
- “There’s a saying in Germany–if one Nazi is setting at a table with 10 people, there are 11 Nazis at the table.” – turns out this isn’t an actual phrase. It should be, but it isn’t.
