How BRICS, Iran, and China fit into the ‘War on the US Dollar’

Unleashed: The Political News Hour with Chris Cordani – De-dollarization is not some fringe theory muttered in obscure financial corners.

The price delusion: How Keynesian economics replaced real growth with bubbles

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Younger Americans believe the economy has failed them.

The Constitutionality of SCOTUS tariff decision

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – President Trump has not taken his defeat well. I would say it was more like a petulant child not getting the sugary cereal he wanted.

Trump completely ignored both the law and the Constitution...

Mass exodus from high-tax states as Florida attracts billions in wealth

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – One of the most striking elements of Florida’s model is the paradox that seems to defy conventional wisdom: taxes are being cut while tax revenues continue to climb.

Is this anyway to run a government?

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – We’re in the middle of another partial federal government shutdown because some people in Washington, D.C. would rather play politics and take time away than do their jobs.

Pritzker’s 2026 budget proposal is a reflection of why the Chicago Bears may leave Illinois

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – A stadium is not a charity. It is private capital and local jobs.

The root cause of Congressional blackmail and fiscal mismanagement

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The only reason the federal government hasn’t declared bankruptcy already is that countries keep pumping money into the government, praying that it won’t collapse until after they’re gone. I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t sound like they’re meeting their fiduciary responsibilities. If you want to know why fiscal mismanagement in the federal government is so...

How political theater undermines real governance today

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – Political spectacle drowns out the hard work of governing as leaders trade answers for performances. Transparency fades, victims are sidelined, and economic realities are reduced to campaign slogans. From immigration and education to alliances abroad, competence is tested daily. Accountability, evidence, and civic responsibility must replace theater before trust erodes further...

It’s the economy stupid, not Jeffrey Epstein

After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – Voters care less about political scandal and more about whether they can afford daily life.

Two states show the real cost of government greed

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Two states offer a clear warning about what happens when government greed drives policy.

Dow reaches record high! Is weakening the dollar a strategy to pay down US debt?

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – Is the Trump administration intentionally allowing—or even encouraging—the dollar to weaken? If true, it would represent a high-risk, high-reward economic strategy. A weaker dollar can reduce the real value of U.S. debt over time, making it easier to pay down trillions in obligations. Inflation, while painful for consumers, also erodes debt in...

A father’s fascism

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – I trace a question my father never resolved: how fascism takes hold without people noticing. Drawing on history, economics, and my own military experience, I argue that America did not narrowly avoid fascism, but absorbed it quietly through bureaucracy, centralized planning, and the illusion of democratic control long before most were willing to see it...

NYC residents turn on Mamdani as his socialist policies cripple the city

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – When the basics fail—trash removal, emergency response, protection from the cold—ideology collapses under its own weight. The backlash has been swift and loud. Residents who once championed Mamdani’s vision are now openly questioning it. Protesters have gathered outside his residence. Conditions that longtime New Yorkers say are the worst they’ve ever seen...

Quantum supremacy is the real world War, and China’s winning (unless America moves now)

On the Record with Christian Briggs – I break down the real war shaping global power: the race for quantum supremacy. This battle isn’t fought in elections or headlines, but in labs, supply chains, and mineral reserves. Whoever controls quantum, rare earths, and strategic metals controls finance, defense, and sovereignty. The future isn’t just digital—it’s physical, and America must act now...

Soil biology, food independence, and the truth beneath the ground

The Tenpenny Files – I trace food independence to soil most people are taught to ignore. What I witness on damaged land exposes how biological systems collapse under chemicals, denial, and neglect.
