An update, a pep talk, and a few of my core principles I want to share. (Oh, and as usual, I share too much about me and my past, but oh well, that’s podcasting…)Example tweet:Timestamp: (20:20). The big problem with the administration.Erick-Woods Erickson: Twitter is Rotting the Right’s BrainEurope is absurd. It is also a strategic partner.The majority of the angst, however, comes over immigration and the belief that the Islamization of Europe is upon us. The reality is that foreigners make up less than 13% of Germany, and even less in France and the United Kingdom. They just happen to be concentrated in the capitals and get a lot of attention. And the European elite treat them paternalistically, setting up security perimeters around Christmas events instead of cracking down and insisting on assimilation.Yes, the European elite give us a lot to criticize in their handling of immigration. But also, the non-native populations are not nearly as large as one might think. Muslims make up less than eight percent of the population of Sweden, but on Twitter, you’d think they’ve taken over the country. On Twitter, the United Kingdom is overrun and on the verge of becoming an Islamic nation.In reality, there are absolutely problems, often dismissed by the European elite who prefer to crack down on speech, but the online community also vastly overstates the problem.Therein lies the problem with the Trump Administration.…The Biden Administration was overrun with white upper-income progressives from the non-profit world who’d never had a real job and could not relate to the real world.The Trump Administration is overrun with the kids from wealthy white elites who live their lives online and have concluded that Twitter is real life because that’s where they spend their time.The Biden Administration got radicalized by the white guilt of progressives. The Trump Administration got radicalized by an online horde of white kids who have convinced themselves that if it is buzzing on Twitter it must be real.The elites and the experts deserve a lot of blame for people distrusting them, disregarding them, and discrediting them. But we’ve traded experts trained in a field of study for experts who learned everything they know from Twitter. We’ve gone from the elite of Harvard Yard to repeat residents of a Holiday Inn Express.Timestamp: (27:36). The Trump Administration releases its new security strategy, and I cover the pros and cons of it.The new National Security StrategyExperts react to Trump’s National Security Strategy...👍 PROS (Arguments For the Plan)* Refocuses U.S. strategy on domestic priorities and the Western Hemisphere.* Pushes Europe to take more responsibility for its own defense.* Seeks to end prolonged conflicts like Ukraine through negotiation, reducing long-term U.S. commitments.* Emphasizes economic strength at home, including trade leverage and industrial capacity.* Argues for a more realistic, interest-based foreign policy rather than open-ended global obligations.* Tries to reprioritize U.S. ...

I’m so thankful for this country.From link above:Trump’s net worth has grown by $3 billion since he took office. His family businesses are raking in millions in the crypto industry, luxury real estate, and investment deals in the Middle East.

Meanwhile, Trump hosted Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House today.Timestamp: (12:16).

It feels like a roller coaster about to go over the edge of that really high climb, except unlike a roller coaster, we don’t know where this one is going to end up at. Moving along, the longest government shutdown in history has ended. Was it the filibuster that caused it to end? Or the fact that SNAP benefits (as well as an untold number of regular paychecks to government workers) weren’t going out? This is a topic of much debate, but let’s hope for some more normalcy in our federal government. Timestamp: (5:21). Trump made a couple of big statements the past week that have hurt his political credibility, as well as his standing with MAGA.Two other political stories of note:Timestamp: (16:59). The U.S. aircraft carrier, the Gerald R. Ford, moved into the Caribbean region off the coast of Venezuela this week. An increased military operation against Venezuela seems almost certain at this point, in my opinion.The New York Times: “The arrival of the Ford and three missile-firing Navy destroyers adds about 5,500 military personnel to a force of 10,000 troops already in the region, roughly half ashore in Puerto Rico and half aboard eight warships. With more than 15,000 military personnel, the U.S. buildup is the largest in the region in decades.”…Sean Parnell, the Pentagon’s chief spokesman, said in a statement on Tuesday that the U.S. “forces will bolster U.S. capacity to detect, monitor, and disrupt illicit actors and activities that compromise the safety and prosperity of the United States homeland and our security in the Western Hemisphere.”Timestamp: (21:15).

Update on the President tearing down the East Wing. Update on the President Trump suing the DOJ for $230 million. The economic headlines are terrible, although they did get another rate cut from the fed.More proof that I was right two weeks ago when I said President Trump was at the apex of his power?Is Trump going to war in Venezuela? With the news of these National Guard “quick reaction forces” trained in riot control, I repeat my most controversial take of the past year.Let’s end with some notes on faithAs you know, if you want true peace, I believe you should look to God and the Bible for that — not a country, not a party, and certainly not an earthly leader, such as our President or the leader of whatever political party you prefer.Want to learn more about the Bible,?

    Trump is tearing it all down.
    Oct 23 2025
    Welcome! This is the place for balanced takes on politics and world news — without the anger or hype. I believe we can stay informed and stay hopeful.Every episode wraps up with a few minutes of Biblical encouragement to remind us that faith, peace, and perspective still matter. Learn more. Timestamps:Timestamp: (2:07). This episode isn’t going to seem as balanced as I’d like. So, I start the episode by discussing the claim that “Democrats are providing healthcare for illegals” and name some good things I believe President Trump has done.Timestamp: (16:30). The Party of law and order is dead under Trump.Timestamp: (18:37). Let’s talk about the “No kings protest,” and how President Trump and his people responded. And how one former Republican so perfectly explained why she participated in the protest herself.Timestamp: (43:52). Russia/Ukraine negotiations completely collapse, after Putin calls Trump before the Zelenskyy meetingTimestamp: (48:55). Donald Trump is suing his own DOJ for $230 million. And his former attorney will make the decision on how much to pay Trump of our taxpayer money — yeah, you read that correctly.Timestamp: (52:47). Trump may be a salesman, but he definitely undersold the construction project happening at the White House.Timestamp: (56:04). Could Trump’s unawareness make him the next President Biden?Timestamp: (58:53). Is there an increasing trend of military uneasiness among the officer ranks?Timestamp: (1:05:06). Let’s end with some Biblical wisdom and spiritual encouragement.Want to help support the mission?
