From Romney’s “Tax Me” Pitch To Portland’s ICE Memo: Accountability Versus Optics
The Last Gay Conservative
Send us a text Tired of leaders pretending the only fix is to “tax the rich” while the books keep bleeding red? We dig into why America doesn’t have a revenue problem—it has a management problem. From Mitt Romney’s New York Times push for more taxes to the grim math behind deficits, we break down what the numbers actually say, how incentives fuel entrepreneurship, and why voluntary contributions expose a gap between rhetoric and reality. If higher rates barely move the needle and drive capita...

Wacky Wednesday When Secrecy, Spin, And Outrage Replace Governance
The Last Gay Conservative
Send us a text California’s policy circus just raised the tent—and we brought the receipts. We open with Eric Swalwell’s headline-friendly promise to “unmask” ICE and charge agents with crimes, then lay out why the Supremacy Clause makes that a nonstarter. Beyond the civics lesson, we get into the damage that reckless rhetoric does in the real world: it inflames tensions, confuses voters, and targets the wrong problem when the immigration system itself needs serious, lawful reform. From ther...

Immigration, Iran, And Commonsense Conservative Politics
The Last Gay Conservative
Send us a text The loudest voices fixate on the border, but the real story is who benefits from the chaos. We dig into immigration with a scalpel, not a sledgehammer—why secular resettlement fuels isolation and fraud, how employer impunity drives illegal labor markets, and what happens when second-generation kids get culture without anchors and schools without skills. Phoenix’s integrated Iraqi community and the thriving Vietnamese small-business network in Orange County prove that assimilati...

Christmas, Immigration, And A Team-First Quarterback
The Last Gay Conservative
Send us a text Ever leave a holiday table with strong opinions and a stronger urge to fix things? We channel that energy into a focused look at leadership, immigration, and the choices that actually move the needle. From Arkansas to Austin to Phoenix, we trace how context—not slogans—shapes outcomes, and why the details of placement, process, and community design determine whether newcomers struggle or thrive. We start with a lively debate over Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ Christmas proclamation,...

Wacky Wednesday: Fannie Willis Meltdown, Reparations Debate, & Brain-Rot in Media!
The Last Gay Conservative
Send us a text The sunshine is bright, the takes are brighter, and Wacky Wednesday pulls no punches. We kick off our first video-driven edition by asking a simple question that threads through every segment: where did accountability go? From a prosecutor’s RICO overreach to a city’s promise of reparations without funding, and from viral narratives to conservative shock-jock theatrics, we track how incentives—not ideals—shape outcomes that citizens end up paying for. First, we unpack the Fani...

From Narco Boats To Redistricting: It’s Not The Civics Class You Remember
The Last Gay Conservative
Send us a text Terrorism abroad, chaos at home, and a Caribbean chessboard most media won’t map—this episode threads them together and asks a blunt question: what does meaningful deterrence look like when our rivals profit from our disorder? We open with Australia’s attack and widen the lens to a triad of tactics—drugs, criminal pipelines, and propaganda—flowing through Venezuela with cover from Russia and China. If addiction footage props up autocrats, then narco-boats aren’t just crime; the...

How Mass Cameras, Media Grifters, And Political Vanity Collide
The Last Gay Conservative
Send us a text Bright lights, new studio, same mission: cut through the noise and defend common sense. We kick off with a hard look at surveillance creeping into daily life through Flock cameras, AI plate readers, and jurisdiction-free data sharing that records where you drive and who you pass—often without public consent. If you’ve ever been told “it’s just like your phone,” we unpack why that excuse fails, how these systems bypass warrants, and why local council votes matter more than natio...

Portland on the Brink, Whoopi gets Whooped, and Head Injury Chris Kluwe
The Last Gay Conservative

Join us as we unravel the complexities of Portland's precarious state, with Mayor Keith Wilson—a "spineless nice guy"—struggling against union pressures and DEI policies that leave city governance paralyzed. Drawing insights from my upcoming book, we explore the stark realities faced by first-term politicians in cities similar to Portland, where maintaining voter approv...

Saudi Peace Talks, Liberal Scare Tactics, and Trump's Trash Convenes in DC

Join us as we embark on a nostalgic yet critical examination of the Reagan era, drawing audacious parallels with the current political landscape under Trump. We question the controversies surrounding DEI initiatives and their real impact on Black small businesses, pondering whether tampering with so-called "natural hierarchies" risks systemic upheaval. Our disdain for the upcoming "Values First ...

Europe's Unfounded Hesitation and the Rise of David Hogg: A Radical Moron
The Last Gay Conservative
Send us a text Why is Europe still hesitant to step up its military game? Join me, Chad Law, on the Last Gay Conservative Podcast as we scrutinize the European Union's lackluster response to the Ukraine conflict. With a critical eye, I examine the reluctance of European leaders like Emmanuel Macron, who seem more comfortable discussing solutions than implementing them. We explore how Donald Trump’s peace initiatives highlight a gap in leadership and why it’s crucial for the U.S. to lead negot...
info_outlineTired of leaders pretending the only fix is to “tax the rich” while the books keep bleeding red? We dig into why America doesn’t have a revenue problem—it has a management problem. From Mitt Romney’s New York Times push for more taxes to the grim math behind deficits, we break down what the numbers actually say, how incentives fuel entrepreneurship, and why voluntary contributions expose a gap between rhetoric and reality. If higher rates barely move the needle and drive capital away, what would? We point to spending discipline, transparent audits, and growing revenue through trade and investment instead of squeezing the same taxpayers.
We also take on the week’s viral flashpoint: a petition to deport Nicki Minaj over her comments about boys and girls. If deportation is “inhumane,” using it to punish speech is pure hypocrisy. Free speech means tolerating views you dislike, and a functioning democracy argues back with facts, not exile. That same mismatch between values and actions shows up in Portland, where a newly revealed memo instructs city employees on obstructing ICE operations—even as services crumble, businesses flee, and the tax base shrinks. Economists call it a doom loop; residents call it daily life.
Across each story, the theme is accountability. Representatives are proxies, not rulers. NGOs and agencies should be judged by outcomes, not intentions. Cities must fix the product—safer streets, working schools, clean governance—before raising the price. If billionaires truly want to pay more, the Treasury accepts donations today. If officials want trust, publish the receipts and deliver visible wins.
