  • Finding Our Internal Guidance System with John Mafrici–(Intro)

    Finding Our Internal Guidance System with John Mafrici–(Intro)
    Apr 26 2025
    WATCH PODCAST This interview marks what I believe is the first of many I'd like to do with friends, associates, and who knows--perhaps "enemies" about subjects too rarely discussed, particularly without added drama for effect and clicks. This interview--about a topic I want to dive into much deeper--is with my friend John Mafrici. It's about his unique life seeking to get in touch with his "internal guidance system" amidst a life dominated by trauma. This is an introduction to John's life--being born into an outward religious experience (Catholicism) he could not relate to, to his life as a rock n roll drummer, to his introduction to a completely different path--a meditative one. I look forward to releasing "the rest of the story" of John's quest to find and explain our internal guidance system. I can't imagine another topic being as central to living a happy, contented, purposeful life than this one. John Mafrici contact Patrick Rooney is the Founder of OldSchoolUs.com.

  • OREGON is ERASING the 2ND AMENDMENT!!! (w/ Kevin Starrett of OFF)

    OREGON is ERASING the 2ND AMENDMENT!!! (w/ Kevin Starrett of OFF)
    Apr 10 2025
    WATCH VIDEO PODCAST No joke.... this morning, I interviewed Kevin Starrett, Executive Director of the Oregon Firearms Federation (OFF) regarding Oregon courts and legislature DECIMATING the 2nd Amendment before our eyes! How bad is it? In the state of Oregon, citizens will soon need to get a PERMIT (that state representatives are making it almost impossible to get!) just to purchase a firearm! If that's not enough, they are taking actions which-- according to Kevin Starrett--will likely put gun dealers OUT OF BUSINESS! It started with OR Measure 114. Now they're CODIFYING it into "law" through HB 3075 (drastically increasing background check fees) and HB 3076 (driving the gun dealers out of business). Do NOT miss this episode. OFF is the most feared pro-gun organization in the state, and for good reason--they are principled and tough! But the Republican legislature is CAVING to the anti-gunners. PLEASE FORWARD THIS VIDEO EVERYWHERE! The last chance to protect the 2nd Amendment in Oregon is in the hands of the People (with God's help)--they must make their voices heard.

  • Trump-Putin-Zelensky… War or Peace?

    Trump-Putin-Zelensky… War or Peace?
    Feb 27 2025
    WATCH VIDEO We have a good time last night discussing a very serious situation. Gotta bring some light into the darkness, right? I want to thank my guests, Brian J. Pombo, Marc Yaffee, and Jerry McClellan. Y'all did well! I appreciate those of you who contribute through the Chat too. Russia and Ukraine have been at war for three years, with significant loss of life on both sides. So far, there has been no serious sign of peace, but President Trump is leading a delegation aimed at achieving that peace. The question is, how much will Ukraine have to give up to come to an agreement, and can the peace last? Has Trump hurt the process by insulting Ukraine President Vladimir Zelensky, or is this just "the art of the deal"? Is Zelensky a dictator, as President Trump has claimed, or is the real dictator Russian President Vladimir Putin? Has it been necessary to keep Zelensky out of the negotiations, or is it strange to sideline the man in charge of the nation that has been attacked? We discussed these questions and much more. One of the things we discussed was a "joke" AI-generated video of "Trump Gaza," which Trump actually shared through his Truth Social account. Oh, boy... More to come on this... This is NOT "Meet the Press." We are not pretending to be experts on foreign policy. We're just four men with different perspectives, who love our country, and seek to bring some understanding to an issue that has been made extremely complicated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ymt3UReCXHE&t=2835s&ab_channel=OldSchoolwithPatrickRooney
