Spawned from the woke progressive left, the Democratic Socialists of America are carving a place for themselves where even the Left becomes their enemy. So, for liberals who thought "I'm not the enemy" or "this won't effect me" or "this will just hurt MAGA", you are now a target. I read an essay by the DSA showing who the enemy is everyone. Live 9/5/2026.

0:00 – Democratic Socialists & Sharia Law are the greatest threat to America, against everyone
5:47 – Reading an attack on the Left/Democrats from the DSA website from 2025 | is healthcare a right | fascism | unions & publicly owned business
13:06 – Democrats are the enemy, pre-Trump Democrats & Obama are the enemy
19:00 – Being disappointed with Trump but don't run to DSA | closing thoughts

With the tragic news of the loss of one of the queens of country music Dolly Parton on August 25th, the world responded with love ... mostly.

After following Sri Dharma Pravatarka Acharya of the International Sanatana Dharma Society & Dharma Nation youtube channel since 2019 I formally left him in January 2026. In Live show #223 (May 2026) I outlined the whole story of fall. Now months later I reflect on my feelings after leaving him, and reveal two things that have plagued me including a crisis of faith and questions the scriptural injunction to have a guru. A honest from the heart talk. Live 8/19/2026.

0:00 – Feelings on leaving one's guru
3:30 – Advice to Sri Dharma on his new youtube thumbnails
4:42 – Breaking your comfort zone to grow spiritually
5:46 – Do we need a guru? | are scriptures out of date? | few real gurus | having a guru doesn't work for America | hidden truths for modern society
10:38 – Having beliefs broken by reading Ramayana | lack of evidence that Ramayana is true (Note: I was wrong about electric cars. They were actually invented in the 1800's!)
15:45 – Maybe all religions are just pieces of the path to god | finding truth
18:20 – Closing thoughts
