Space is Fake 2:00:42

VR Blacker Than Night 1:10:25

1:10:25

Virtual Reality (VR) is currently being exploited to curry for favor for blacks and stir more contempt for whites. This shouldn't come as a surprise to the savvy since it seems VR is pacing our actual reality and the idiocy tied to our society. This should have taken me ten minutes, however, I felt the urge to destroy this ideologically driven dist…

I really meant for this to go out in February but do to my schedule it is launching now in March (I'm on colored people time I suppose). That being said, I think it's okay for it to go out in March since February is the shortest month which is probably why it went to black people because they have the longest you know what.

Some of my random thoughts while driving through downtown Austin. For example: Why are adult stores 24/7? Is the economy so bad, average people are envious of people who get in 18 wheeler wrecks?

I'm trying to take a break from politics but this guy forced me to respond when he did this Sept 1st 2022 "Soul of a Nation" speech. Biden and the left clamor on and on about Democracy and Rule of Law yet constantly go against the majority and ignore the laws that apply to their side.

Debate is Dead 1:36:31

Because logic is ignored, debate is not possible. In this episode I'll make a case as to why debate is no longer possible and will continue to fade into an archaic practice. When basic rules of logic cannot be adhered, such as the ability to define basic words like man and woman, you cannot even begin an argument. I'll cite classic debates, the law…
