COVID-19: The Fear of Contagion

COVID-19: The Fear of Contagion

Fear makes people do irrational things. When people are scared, they do things that they never would have even dreamed of doing. Hence the fear-mongering amongst the COVID-19 pandemic. Australians killing dogs due to COVID-19 restrictions, requiring two-year olds to wear masks, doctors refusing to treat unvaccinated patients, taking children away from in-person learning; These examples all stem from a place of fear. Mike Slater shares his perspective on how fear makes people to irrational things and leads people to do the unthinkable, and how this all ties in to why we can’t trust our experts.

The Taliban’s Spoils of War Jackpot

The Taliban’s Spoils of War Jackpot

The Taliban may have gotten the biggest U.S. military jackpot in the history of the world, and now they are not only mocking President Biden by wearing OUR U.S. military gear, but the Taliban also mocked the iconic WWII photo of U.S. Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima. There is no doubt that this is all Biden’s fault. It’s a full-on failure, and the Taliban are making a mockery out of us and our weak government. Mike Slater shares his thoughts on the absolute disgrace of an administration and its catastrophic attempt of a withdrawal in Afghanistan.

Chaos and Desperation in Afghanistan

Chaos and Desperation in Afghanistan

The U.S. government admits that they don’t have an accurate number as to how many Americans are stranded in Afghanistan. U.S. citizens are being told to evacuate to the nearest airport as soon as possible, yet the government cannot guarantee their safety. Now, those Americans are told to steer clear of the dangers in and around the airport. The crisis on the ground in Afghanistan and outside the Kabul airport is just getting worse, but are all the critics being too harsh on Joe Biden? John Hayward, Breitbart News National Security Deputy Editor, shares his take on that, and the scenes outside the Kabul airport in Afghanistan.

Trump Would Not Have Allowed This

Trump Would Not Have Allowed This

It’s clear that Biden was unprepared for what happened in Afghanistan. He, himself, admitted that it happened “quicker than anticipated,” causing them to be unprepared. That’s not the problem, though. The problem is that our administration is made up of weak leaders, who trust the experts. The same experts that have done us wrong and lied to us on numerous occasions, and think we are dumb, so they lie to us some more. The same U.S. Foreign Policy experts and intelligence services that Trump refused to listen to and take advice from. We knew this would happen, and we left all those people in the dust who’ve helped us. This never would have happened under Trump. Mike Slater explains why…
