2:02:09

The first official purposefully scheduled episode with DeMarcus. As we are both (native-born) Chiefs fans, we emphasize and spend a lot more time on that, but that game is at the end.

TSOT133: FBI: No More Will We Gullibly Believe Activist Groups Are "Watchdog" Groups 33:55

7d ago33:55

33:55

You can have a list of people and groups who do not agree with you, or who do not 100% support you. Sensible. But what that list is NOT is a list of who hates you. That requires more and would be a much smaller subset. Never mind that by even making such a claim you've basically proclaimed that what you hate is free speech. (Recorded before FBI's p…

29:36

Oh it's laughable at this point. An announcement by the administration, or RFK Jr. specifically, then gets lambasted by the media. This time about problems about taking acetaminophen too much during pregnancy. And then the most basic research shows its validity, and yet again undresses the Big Pharma teat-sucking "news media."
