As the "Trumpire" and Congress clash over funding, a baffling move to target TSA PreCheck and Global Entry has travelers—and common sense—in a tailspin. We dive into why shutting down these efficient, low-manpower programs is a counterproductive political stunt, especially when the very people supposedly managing the department can't seem to get their stories straight.Beyond the airport lines, we explore the "duopoly" stranglehold on American politics. From the MAGA takeover of the GOP to the rise of extreme factions among Democrats, is our republic being replaced by a personality cult?Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/tSN3RAm26LgMore about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

The State of the Union was meant to be a Constitutional report, but nowadays it has devolved into political theater. Between the performative clapping and the partisan hooting, we’ve lost the substance of actual governance. This video breaks down how a tradition intended to inform the nation has turned into a high-stakes rah-rah session designed to feed the activist base rather than serve the American people.The root of the problem isn't just the speech, it’s the two-party duopoly and a primary system that rewards the most extreme voices. By looking at the internal structure of both parties and the history of third-party movements, we explore why voters are constantly forced to choose the "lesser of two evils" and how we can finally break the cycle of hyper-partisanship.Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/kIeH-0lLd7QMore about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

Is the "S-word" making a comeback? Most people think of campus coffee shops and Che Guevara t-shirts, but the latest trend in central planning isn't coming from the left, it’s coming from the Trump administration. Let's look at the bizarre rise of "State Capitalism." From the feds buying equity in private zinc mines to demanding cuts of corporate profits, we’re witnessing a shift away from free markets toward something that looks a lot like old-fashioned Soviet central planning, just with an orange spray tan.Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/nPbe6r-E76AReferenced articlehttps://reason.com/2025/12/19/more-republican-socialism/More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

We’re constantly told that “national security” means safety. That it means protection. That it’s about keeping Americans secure. But when you actually look at what these policies are doing, it paints a different picture.The Trump administration’s immigration crackdown isn’t about stopping crime or terrorism. It’s about using fear to justify banning legal immigrants, separating families, and treating spouses and children of U.S. citizens like potential threats, after they’ve already passed years of vetting.Today I look at the data, the history, and the logic behind these decisions, and show how “extreme vetting” has become a cover for discrimination, government overreach, and political manipulation. Who actually benefits from this politics of fear?Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/GcOPpaJwQcgCited articlehttps://www.cato.org/blog/new-ban-bars-1-5-legal-immigrants-even-citizens-spouses-kidsMore about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

Donald Trump is turning the U.S. government into a personal branding project: from vanity warships and renamed institutions to gold-plated policies built for ego, not the public good. From the proposed “Trump-class” battleship to the rebranding of national landmarks and federal programs, let's examine how power, narcissism, and spectacle are replacing serious governance. Drawing on history, military strategy, and personal experience, I explain why this isn’t just tacky, it's dangerous.Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/ssm8TducMdIReferenced articles https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/12/19/trump-name-kennedy-center-peace-institute/https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/trump-hegseth-new-warship-the-battleship-63367854?mod=politics_trendingnow_article_pos1More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

When did the government start deciding how you shower, flush, and wash your clothes? Today I take on the “nanny state”: from low-flow showerheads and LED lightbulbs to disposable washing machines and ugly crossover SUVs. What started as “efficiency” rules has turned into weaker products, higher costs, and fewer real choices for consumers. With personal stories from decades in broadcasting and appliance repair, let's break down how both parties helped create a culture of fragile, overregulated, ad-filled “smart” devices, and why real innovation doesn’t need mandates to succeed.Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/W5GEM-bISAYMore about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

The U.S. plans to ask visitors to make all their social media profiles public and share the last 5 years of history. This isn't about security, it's about submission and control. Let's examine how social media vetting, vague “hostility” standards, and political paranoia are damaging privacy, tourism, and U.S. credibility.Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/9Ev2PV8cN7UMore about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

Trump promised to “win big” with his trade war. Instead, American farmers got crushed. Tariffs wiped out export markets, taxpayers were forced to cover an $11 billion bailout, and politicians kept lying about the damage. Using real data, firsthand experience, and blunt analysis, I expose how this economic disaster became a hidden tax on working Americans, and how both parties continue to sacrifice rural communities for political power.Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/6qcB8eE1mkcSources Cited: • Reason Magazine: "Trump's $11 Billion Farm Bailout Is Further Proof That Tariffs Aren't Working." • Reason Magazine: "Trump Said His Tariffs Would Reduce the Trade Deficit… Here's What the Data Show." • Reason Magazine: "Trump Says China Didn't Buy Soybeans While Biden Was President… Here's What the Data Show." • https://reason.com/2025/12/08/trumps-11-billion-farm-bailout-is-further-proof-that-tariffs-arent-working/ • https://reason.com/2025/12/17/trump-said-his-tariffs-would-reduce-the-trade-deficit-and-bring-back-manufacturing-heres-what-the-data-show/ https://reason.com/2025/12/10/trump-says-china-didnt-buy-soybeans-while-biden-was-president-heres-what-the-data-show/More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

In this episode, we examine how warrantless raids, mass detentions, and “law and order” politics are quietly eroding the Fourth Amendment and due process in America. From ICE operations and mistaken arrests of U.S. citizens to the growing normalization of government power without accountability, let's break down how fear and political loyalty are being used to justify unconstitutional practices. When the government stops following its own laws, what's stopping them from coming for you next?Watch the full video here! https://youtu.be/NN8rxVHTPPQMore about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

We're watching the diplomatic equivalent of a ship hitting an iceberg in slow motion and it's damaging the very foundation of American safety. In this episode, let's break down how Trump’s Greenland gambit turns allies into adversaries, weakens U.S. security in the Arctic, and opens the door for Russia and China. This isn’t left vs right; it’s smart vs stupid, and the cost of treating diplomacy like a real estate deal may be far higher than anyone’s admitting.Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/K8gClY6jZBIReferenceshttps://www.fe-ddis.dk/en/produkter/Risk_assessment/riskassessment/intelligence-outlook-2025/More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

Bigotry is making a comeback: and it’s not rebellious, it’s the lowest form of collectivism. In this episode, I dive into how nationalism fuels modern hate movements, why MAGA nativism and progressive speech policing mirror each other, and why individualism (not tribalism) is the real antidote.Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/xVe4y8SB_Q8Referenced article: https://www.cato.org/commentary/nationalism-driving-neo-rights-virulent-antisemitic-turnMore about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

In the time it takes you to breathe, Washington borrows hundreds of thousands of dollars. In this episode, I break down America’s $38+ trillion debt, the bipartisan scam behind it, why interest alone is bleeding the country dry, and what a truly “servant” government might look like.Watch the full video here! https://youtu.be/S3qyru48bcoMore about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

The released text message from Donald Trump to Norway’s prime minister offers a disturbing glimpse into how personal grievance can morph into foreign policy. In this episode, I break down Trump’s fixation on Greenland, his delusional claims of stopping multiple wars, and his belief that the Norwegian government denied him the Nobel Peace Prize. This is how a narcissist's need for validation can endanger global security.Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/MGRs0t7Dme4More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

In this episode, I break down the Trump administration’s new travel restrictions on Antigua and Barbuda and Dominica. I look at the hypocrisy of condemning Caribbean citizenship-by-investment programs while the U.S. rolls out its own pay-to-play residency scheme.

Immigration detention in the U.S. has reached a historic high, and American citizens are now being wrongfully caught in enforcement operations. In this episode, I examine the case of Scott Thao, a naturalized U.S. citizen detained in his own home, along with new reports of prosecutors and public servants being stopped by ICE. With 73,000 people in custody and nearly 40% held for non-criminal immigration violations, we explore what this surge means for civil liberties, racial profiling, and the erosion of constitutional protections.Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/oEbgFhxgh9cCited Articleshttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/ices-detainee-population-record-high-of-73000/?intcid=CNI-00-10aaa3ahttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/chongly-thao-ice-detained-gunpoint-underwear-frigid-conditions-what-did-i-do-wrong/https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/los-angeles-county-district-attorney-employee-detained-ice/?intcid=CNR-01-0623More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

In this episode, let me tell you about the time I tried to enter Venezuela during the early days of the country’s collapse, ignoring the warnings of friends who knew better. What followed was a long night at the border, a failed crossing, and a series of decisions that, in hindsight, were more foolish than brave. This was the single most dangerous moment of my entire journalistic career.Watch the video version here! https://youtu.be/_CKpdGKedC0More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

Breaking news! The Trump administration has rolled out a sweeping visa freeze that suspends immigrant visa processing for a total of 93 countries, a move experts warn will bar large numbers of lawful immigrants and, critically, block spouses and minor children of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. In this episode, I unpack the administration’s stated “public-charge” rationale, show how ordinary American families are being caught in the crossfire, and trace the likely diplomatic and economic fallout.Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/7FJbPbojtEESources and mentions• https://www.cato.org/blog/new-ban-hits-half-legal-immigrants-even-citizens-spouses-kids • https://x.com/StateDept/status/2011478657680757214?s=20 • My book "Doing Business in The Bahamas: The Bahamas as a Nearshore Business, Operations & Investment Destination": https://a.co/d/3X47RMt • My work on Uzbekistan https://youtu.be/1QpFWRgE_Wc?si=PgL6CXw8qIXxidp-More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

With the U.S. having removed Maduro from Venezuela, we have to look at history to understand the potential fallout. In this episode, drawing on my own experience in Panama shortly after Operation Just Cause and the removal of Noriega, I analyze the nuance of U.S. intervention in Latin America, specifically how local populations often feel about it. From the Colombian coast near the Venezuelan border, I discuss the baggage the U.S. carries in the region, the reality of life for regular citizens caught in the crossfire, and why the true test of this event isn't the removal of the leader, but the stability (or lack thereof) that follows.Watch the video version here! https://youtu.be/XGTgKB7PpxIMore about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

The fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer was instantly transformed into two opposing political myths: villain or martyr. But the real danger may be how quickly we choose a story instead of demanding truth. In this video, I examine what is known, what remains uncertain, and how narrative thinking replaces critical thinking in moments of crisis. More importantly, we look beyond this single case to documented examples of U.S. citizens who were detained, assaulted, or disappeared without warrants under immigration enforcement. These are not isolated mistakes and they are not happening to foreigners. They are happening to Americans. The question is no longer just what happened to Renee Good, but whether our civil liberties still exist in practice, and what happens when it becomes your turn.Watch the video version here! https://youtu.be/6kpGWFDR0McSources and citationshttps://www.cato.org/legal-briefs/jennings-v-smithhttps://www.wsj.com/us-news/videos-show-how-ice-vehicle-stops-can-escalate-to-shootings-caf17601https://ij.org/case/alabama-construction-site-raids/https://ij.org/case/george-retes-federal-officer-accountability/Stasi: Bundesarchiv, Bild 183-1989-1104-040 / Link, Hubert / CC-BY-SA 3.0, CC BY-SA 3.0 DE , via Wikimedia CommonsICE officers: Chad Davis, chaddavis.photography/, CC BY 4.0 , via Wikimedia CommonsMore about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/
