Ep. 147 — Teachers Admit They Want to Keep Parents in the Dark
In a revealing new development, teachers openly lament that at-home learning allows parents to hear their lessons.

Fireside Chat Ep. 141 — Do You Know How Special America Is?
“We are witnessing one of the most irrational developments in the history of the world.” The left is a destructive force, raising an entire generation to think that this country is racist, misogynist, and imperialist.
