    The bureaucracies of natural disasters (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    It's bad enough when a natural disaster strikes and citizens lose their homes, their businesses, their access to medical treatments and clean water and schools for their kids. But then to have to wait years — and more years! — for the well-funded FEMA to chip in the tax dollars to pay for the rebuilds? That's maddening and outrageous. David Richardson, who served as the acting head of FEMA during the Texas floods, and who then wrote the book on the bureaucracy of it all, "Texas Flood 4 July 2025

    UFOs, aliens and the Bible are compatible beliefs (opens the original)

    Episode notes

But don't expect those on the left to see it — or acknowledge it in any way. They're too busy flailing in the streets. Todd Starnes discusses the "golden age" of Trump, and his own personal confrontation with the TDS nuts.

    America's communist problem (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    America has moved rapidly from middle-of-the-road politics to a place of far-leftist infiltration, where the Democrats have let progressives, socialists and even communists take root in their party and spread their rot through government. And it's at the point where culture, education and the economy are all facing the same communist jolt. As the U.S. State Department releases its report on Cuba's infiltration of America, Michael Lucci, CEO of State Armor, has new information on how China's CCP
