Problems With The ADA

The politicians might say, “Yes, we can!” but John Stossel answers, “No THEY can’t!”

One example, help the disabled. The American’s with Disabilities Act has done more harm than good. Since it took effect, fewer disabled people have been able to work.

Yet government grows, despite its repeated failure.

Here’s a classic Stossel video from 2012.

Rent Control: Wrong As Always

“Why would you enter a market where the government is actively trying to hurt you?”

Economist Salim Furth of the Mercatus Center predicted builders would flee St Paul’s rent control law.

Four years later, the city admits he was right. Here’s more from John Stossel.

Veiled Threats From Adam Schiff

Senator Adam Schiff is once again making headlines after suggesting Democrats could launch sweeping investigations into private sector companies that worked with President Donald Trump, raising concerns about political retaliation and government overreach.
Critics argue Schiff’s comments sound less like oversight and more like a warning directed at businesses that chose to partner with the Trump administration during its efforts to reshape the economy and federal government.
Republicans say the message is clear: support Trump at your own risk, because if Democrats regain power, subpoenas, investigations, and legal battles could follow.
Many voters are growing frustrated with what they see as endless political warfare instead of solutions for inflation, crime, border security, housing costs, and economic growth.
Democrats have openly discussed future impeachment efforts against Trump and members of his administration should they regain control of Congress, signaling that Washington’s political battles are far from over.
Supporters of President Trump argue these threats reveal a party disconnected from everyday Americans who care more about jobs, affordability, and public safety than another round of investigations.

Here, Joshua Philipp, a journalist with The Epoch Times, discusses Schiff’s threats with Stephen Gardner.

Comedy: A Window To Reality

Comedian Jimmy Dore joins the show to diagnose the absurdity of the world today — with brutal honesty. We unpack what’s gone off the rails, why common sense matters again, and how ridiculous public life has become when politics and media lose their bearings.

The Plot To Kill Peanut And Fred

New York will forever live in infamy as the state where Peanut The Squirrel and Fred The Raccoon were hauled off and euthanized by the long arm of the state. Now, thanks to Judicial Watch, we come to see that the New York Department of Environmental Conservation planned to murder these pets even before agents seized them at the home of Mark Longo outside Elmira.

Tom Fitton from Judicial Watch sent New York a Freedom of Information Act request, and received back a tranche of documents pertaining to the raid back in October of 2024.

Here, Viva Frei brings us up to date. He earlier tweeted, “It’s not about the pets, not about the squirrel, not about the raccoon. It’s about absolute governmental overreach, the administrative state gone mad, and a government that thinks it can come into the sanctity of your home and destroy your property and murder your pets with impunity.”

The Plan To Censor Free Speech

Investigative journalist Whitney Webb joins Gareth Icke Tonight to discuss everything censorship, including the debacle in the UK.

Webb says (0:5:40 of video) the chaos across the pond is unfortunately part of  a preplanned roadmap laid out for most of the West and the world at large. She says the effort traces back to a working group within the World Economic Forum, where their goal is to frame speech that doesn’t suit them, or what they deem misinformation, which they define as cyber crime. She explains further and also discusses AI pre-crime the U.S. control of Latin America.

Archie On Electric Vehicles

Archie Bunker sets the world straight on Democrats, electric appliances and electric vehicles. This was in 1977, long before Teslas or any other electric vehicles became the rage. Considering he made these pronouncements in 1977, he was pretty accurate on today’s issues in 2023. Here’s more from Ovation Eddie.

Homeland Security’s Intel Leak

Breaking from Project Veritas, James O’Keefe reports a source inside the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has leaked an intelligence bulletin in light of the recent raid on President Trump.

O’Keefe says the documents refers to a heightened threat from DVE, or domestic violence extremists, motivated by a range of ideologies. Among the possible threats, according to the document, is the perception by these extremists that the 2020 Presidential election was fraudulent and other claims of government overreach.

The 2022 midterms are also highlighted as a potential flashpoint. O’Keefe says DHS has declined to confirm the existence of the document. Here’s more, courtesy of The Post Millennial Clips.
