The problem with polls
David Shuster on a channel called Rebel HQ points out the flaw in US election polls. Pollsters typically only include people who previously voted in their polls. So young women, rightly concerned about abortion, and other new voters are not included. He gives examples from previous elections to back up his claim. Harris Will Beat […]
Biden vs. Trump
Here are the drawbacks to voting for these two candidates. As for people who think Biden’s age is a drawback, look at what he’s accomplished as president — and imagine what he could accomplish with a Democratic majority in the Senate and House. Thanks to Keith Olbermann for helping me remember some of these. Biden […]
Canadian voters, prepare to work together
There’s an election coming, in 2025 or sooner, that needs the attention of Canadian voters. People need to be thinking and talking about what they’re going to do because there’s a giant looming problem. In Canadian history, whenever voters get tired of the Liberals they always vote for the Conservatives. That’s what’s happened every time. […]
Steve Shives’ videos about Star Trek & politics
I’ve mentioned Steve Shives’ videos before here and here and here. He has lots of videos about Star Trek and things of a political nature.

A “balanced” viewpoint isn’t best
If you ask Alexa in a certain way if the 2020 American election was stolen, it will answer yes. Alexa is built by Amazon. Here are The Young Turks on this topic: WATCH: Alexa, Was The 2020 Election Stolen? They suspect that developers may have imagined that taking some news from the left and some […]
Cosplay as a serious person
I like turns of phrases that put 45 in his place. Brian Tyler Cohen has been reporting the truth about US politics on his channel for a long time, and he is very articulate. Here’s what he says today: “He can cosplay as a serious person with serious reports and press conferences until he’s blue […]
Trumpist realizes “I’m the mark” live on air
Here is a stunning video of a Trumpist named Steve Deace who repeated Trump’s lies on his podcast for years, only to find out now after all this time that they were lies. He realizes that it was a cult. The video is from Meidas Touch: Trump Podcaster REALIZES HE’S IN A CULT during LIVE […]
Stopping oligarghs from interfering in politics
How do you stop oligarghs from interfering in politics? It’s actually quite simple. You pass a law against it — like Ukraine did. And if you think they couldn’t do it in the US, they certainly could — they used to have a law against it too. Thom Hartmann explains: America’s Rich Don’t Want You […]
