In this episode I revisit Ancient Rome and compare both the Republic and Empire to our current situation right here in America. I discuss the advantages and disadvantages of having an emperor and if we would better off if we had one. Of course, there are lots of headlines that deal with willful children, cannibals, kangaroos, corrupt government off…

In case you still believe that so-called experts have the publics best interests at heart, this episode will make you think twice. In areas that include education, healthcare, law enforcement and government, we've been lorded over by credentialed morons whose asinine policy proscriptions have taken this country backwards. I provide numerous example…

Yes. I'm back from my cruise and have been able to take a bit of a breather from work. Get ready for some bashing of Democrats as I highlight their subservience to illegals that are criminals and gang members. They are spending their political capital on thugs who've been deported and are ignoring the things regular old citizens keep telling pollst…

I figured I'd give politics a rest (for the most part) and discuss the change that has transpired over several decades to our culture. From sports to movies to social issues the transformation has been significant. Decide for yourself whether these changes have been for the better or worse. There are lots of headlines that deal with the usual. Horn…

Lots has happened since Trump took the oath and most everything he's done was promised during his campaign. The Democrats are in full dudgeon and gave America every reason to keep them from gaining power again with their antics during Trump's address to Congress. With a touch of wit here and there I review all of it. There is also a plethora of hea…

As the Mrs. and I have been entertaining this week I haven't had an opportunity to put together my usual rant about the political scene, so all you're getting this episode are headlines, with a very brief rant at the end. The headlines include the usual grouping of idiots, murderers, politicians, and malcontents. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish …

I provide a rundown of the DOGE enterprise and some of what they found while searching through government pay systems. There's been billions of dollars spent on all sorts of woke nonsense and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will all soon come to an end. In addition to pointing out what we know to this point as to the criminal enterprise th…

In this episode I provide what I hope is a legitimate argument as to why I believe the political Left is evil and not just misguided. As evidence I discuss their efforts at mainstreaming transgenderism, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs and their inglorious record of ruining Americas cities. And there are lots of headlines, some including yo…

My tendency toward laziness has reared its ugly head once more and all I have to show for this episode are headlines... lots of headlines. The cover the usual panoply of politics and crime (but I repeat myself). There are several, however, that highlight the stress that delivery drivers experience at this time of year and the garden variety lunacy …

This episode provides a follow up on the previous one as I decided more gloating was in order. I try to explain how the election went nearly exactly as I thought and why the experts were mostly wrong. I update the election results and what that means for the bigger picture. On top of that there is even more gloating and, of course, a whole slew of …

With nothing much going on in the presidential campaign this week, except for more dyed in the wool Republicans coming out for Kamala Harris, I decided to regale you with the origin story of the Dyspeptic Contrarian. You've heard me rant about a lot of this before, so please forgive me. I just figured that these things were important enough to bare…

There are also headlines galore to let you know that the current…

I use this episode to revel in my bold Joe Biden prediction coming true. I provide some reasons as to why I made the prediction that he wouldn't be the Democrat nominee in the coming election and why people who claim to be in-the-know missed all the signs. I chat some about the continuing default of the legacy media and how they continue to be chee…

The Supreme Court handed down many important decisions at the end of their term and I discuss how they help restrain our administrative state and hopefully return more power to the people and our elected representatives. I also provide an update on the movement of people from blue states to red and the big dollars that they bring with them. There a…

In this episode I wonder aloud as to whether living under an emperor would be better for reversing our current decline, than our Constitutional Republic. I discuss the pros and cons and, well. you can make up your own mind. Headlines deal with the usual nonsense. Stupid criminals and politicians (it's getting more difficult to tell the difference),…

In this episode I discuss two stories, the Israeli hostage rescue and the Caitlin Clark obsession, that have taken up lots of airtime this past week or so, and how they are perfect examples of how the media amplifies the leftist perspective.

Along with the usual headlines that deal with the incompetence of our political class, the dementia of our president and the casual insanity that has infected life in general, I share my jaundiced eye view of the proceedings and its potential aftermath. And just to liven things up a bit I provide a comparison of America to both the Roman Republic a…

In this episode I share with you the things I'd do to bring America back if I were King. I won't share them with you here so as not to ruin the listening experience. Let me just suggest, with all due humility, that a country run by yours truly would be a much better place than you find it today. There will also be headlines, of course, that run the…

First off, I'd like to apologize for not including any show notes in the previous episode. There was some glitch in the program and everything I would type came up backwards. I did consider making the notes anyway and letting enterprising listeners use a mirror to figure out what the hell I was saying, but eventually decided against it. That's enou…

In this episode I provide some history regarding the current situation that Israel finds itself in and the how some very bad ideas abot Israel and the Jewish people have metastasized on our elite college campuses.

Due to reasons you'll learn about while listening... this episode is going to nothing but headlines. You'll get more of the idiocy you've become accustomed to from politicians, pilots, passengers and even professions that don't begin with a P. Sit back and enjoy hearing about the asinine things people do that make most of us feel a lot better about…

Besides the usual spate of headlines, in this episode I take some of the questions you've sent me over the last little while. I respond to queries having to deal with Israel, the way we now conduct elections, liberty versus license, whether or not I plan on taking American Nuthouse to Youtube and more. Even though things are looking bleak it's impo…

On this episode I kind of rehash the things that led up to me creating this podcast. To those of you frequent listeners I apologize for going over some of the same areas that I've covered before.

In this episode I provide a quick catch up of the State of the Union address (I know... that's yesterday's news), the end of the primaries and other assorted nonsense.
