David French is a right of center commentator who is trying to nuance marxist ideology while John Cornyn is pushing gun control. What do these things have in common? They are playing in the predefined sandbox of the left.

Today we cover these issues and the sexual exploitation of children be promulgated by Netflix.

David French’s attempted nuance of critical race theory runs completely counter to that of the response that Al Mohler gave on the issue in his June 14th episode. John Cornyn’s promotion of Bloomberg/Obama gun control policies run counter to the entire conservative worldview of the 2nd amendment.

This is the day we are in, and these are the battles at hand.

The post What do David French and John Cornyn have in common? – Episode 83 appeared first on Luke Macias.

Max gets to midweek wondering about his sanity and if his brain will explode. After the terrible shooting’s Max delves into the response from the GOP, in particular certain members of congress who find time to blame the problem on video games and gay marriage. Yup, that’s it, problem solved. Without Ginger to keep him in check, Max once again gets side tracked by tariffs, and the 737 Max.
