Donald Trump recently reverted the name of the Dept. of Defense to Dept. of War. He, and his cronies, claim that the Dept of Defense is too woke and needs to return to a "warrior culture." Never one to be confused with a genius, Trump misses the history of why the Department of Defense came into being in 1947 and how it was a blueprint for America being a military, economic and political super power, , i.e. an "American Empire."

In our latest, we talk about the history of the National Security State, recent adventures in the waters off of Venezuela, domestic military operations in Chicago, and the White House meme-ifying Trump as Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore (played by Robert Duvall) in Apocalypse Now as he saber rattles a federal invasion in Chicago.
