Ep. 241: Not a Goodbye, Just See You Later
Weapons of Meme Destruction
Sadly, we decided this week that this episode would be our last for a while. It was a difficult decision to make, but for the reasons discussed in this episode, it make the most sense for us right now until we can come back bigger, better, and stronger. Please keep the light of freedom on for us and do all you can to keep working toward a little saner world in our absence. We will be back and better than ever as soon as we are able. In the meantime, as David says, "stay safe and stay free." Show Notes: Jon Stewart and Bill Maher are "Johnny Come Lately" to Threats of Political Censorship and...

Ep. 240: Trump's Tariffs: Good, Bad, Ugly?
Weapons of Meme Destruction
Trump's "reciprocal tariffs" went into effect this week and the U.S. stock market tumbled under the uncertainty of what such a shakeup in the global trade framework will end up looking like. We give the strict economic analysis of why tariffs are bad but include a balanced approach to what the Trump side of the argument is for the tariffs and let you decide how to feel or what to think about them.

Ep. 239: The Signal Scandal
Weapons of Meme Destruction
The mainstream outlets lost their collective mind this past week over a nothing-burger story about a hostile reporter from The Atlantic being "inadvertently" added to a group chat between high-ranking officials from the Trump Administration discussing war plans in Yemen. Peering through the thinly veiled attempts at manufactured outrage, one can easily see that rather than being a damning story about Trump Administration incompetence, the only relevant aspect to the incident is that someone on the inside is likely trying to sabotage Trump and his cabinet picks. The only problem (for the...

Ep. 238: Democracy Dies in Romania
Weapons of Meme Destruction
Faced with a right-wing populist, Calin Georgescu, winning the presidential election in Romania late last year, election officials canceled the election. When it looked like he was still going to win in the re-do this year, they arrested him. His crime? Placing the interests and fortunes of Romanian citizens above the one-world-government dictates of the European Union and NATO. The next time you hear someone lamenting the "death of democracy," ask them their thoughts on Romania. You'll quickly learn that "democracy" is the least of their concerns. Instead, they favor total rule by the...

Ep. 237: Trump & MAGA Go Full Retard on Budget
Weapons of Meme Destruction
Thomas Massie was and remains "America First" before Trump was even in politics and before any of his braindead sycophants figured out how to breathe unaided. And yet, Trump decided to attack Massie this week over Massie's opposition to Mike-I've never met an exploded budget I didn't like-Johnson's continuing resolution that funds government at pre-DOGE levels, rendering all of DOGE's work up to now pointless. Massie (and Rand Paul in the Senate, who also opposes the continuing resolution) is an American hero and one of only two people in the entire 535-member Congressional cesspool that...

Ep. 236: Democrat-on-Democrat Violence
Weapons of Meme Destruction
Whether it be Democratic New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez going after Democratic New York Mayor Eric Adams over illegal immigration, or Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom being confronted with his party's rigid purity tests that result in people like RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard being ousted from party, it should be crystal clear by now for all their sloganeering about "diversity is our strength," "diversity" was never anything more than a smoke screen for ideological conformity. We discuss the AOC vs Adams confrontation and Newsom's first podcast episode, interviewing...

Ep. 235: Dems Face-Plant 2025 State of the Union Address
Weapons of Meme Destruction
This past week, Trump delivered the first State of the Union Address of his second term. On the morning of the address, 22 Democrat Senators thought it would be a great idea to record themselves delivering a scripted, fake outrage video and posting it to their social media accounts. Completely tone deaf as they are, none saw fit to even slightly modify their presentation so as not to appear like the power drunk robots they are. Their behavior (along with their House colleagues) during the State of the Union Address later that evening only made them look worse. Democrats currently seem...

Ep. 234: Trump Fumbles Epstein Files Release
Weapons of Meme Destruction
At the end of the last week of February 2025, the Trump White House invited a handful of MAGA social media influencers to receive "Phase 1" of the Epstein files. If this monumental screw up of the promised release of the Epstein files was an accident or simple oversight, they couldn't have messed it up any worse if they'd done it on purpose. At bottom, the Epstein story is (and always will be unless and until we get the full, un-doctored truth) about the fact that the intelligence agency of the country that is allegedly the United States' "greatest ally," funded, protected, and maintained an...

Ep. 233: The Tower of Babel's Modern Lessons
Weapons of Meme Destruction
Is the internet the modern-day version of the Tower of Babel? Maybe, maybe not. But the timeless wisdom of the Tower of Babel story still has plenty to teach us today about human nature, power, and the relationship between humanity and God (the Creator or whatever else you prefer to call him/it). On this week's episode we apply this ancient wisdom to what we are experiencing today as another angle of our ongoing attempt to make sense of the world we inherited, in the hopes that maybe, just maybe we can find a little more sanity in it. Show Notes: The Tower of Babel: An Ancient Warning ...

Ep. 232: Constitutional Crisis? No, But Also Yes.
Weapons of Meme Destruction
A new talking point has hit the establishment media's desks: that the U.S. is experiencing a "Constitutional crisis." As usual, the thing they've identified as the source of the crisis is the exact wrong thing. Rather than President Trump and DOGE being the problem, their executive agency-confined actions are RESOLVING existing Constitutional crises because the agencies they are targeting are unconstitutional themselves and/or they're engaging in unconstitutional actions. But even though the worst people in the world are diagnosing the problem incorrectly, they're still right that there is a...

The only problem (for the wannabe saboteurs) is that, as usual, they picked the most benign, pointless story one could possibly imagine to get outraged over, and if anything, the story actually makes the targets look semi-decent.
