World Ablaze with George Fontes

World Ablaze with George Fontes delivers unfiltered, no-bullshit conversations and hard-hitting unfiltered commentary on politics, news, and geopolitics.Filmmaker and political commentator Sara Alessandrini is welcomed back on the show to discuss New York City politics and Mayor Mamdani.From the people who oppose Zohran Mamdani's presence at the 9/11 memorial to his opposition to increased wages for NYC School Para-Professionals, Mamdani is graded and discussed openly and honestly. While Mamdani has been criticized for putting his faith before what actually works for the people of NYC, some decisions seem to be just opposition to the system with no clear plan of implementation that would benefit New Yorkers.Sara and I also discuss voter ID, cost of living, the housing shortage, and whether all people should be welcomed to live where they want, even if resources may be scarce.Support our Sponsors!!!🛒 Afuera Coffee Co. - Sustainable Coffee💰 Get 15% OFF | Promo Code: WORLDABLAZEhttps://promocode.to/afuera-coffee-co/worldablaze-yem🛒 Ground News - Get The Whole Story💰 Get 40% OFF | Promo Code: WORLDABLAZEhttps://ground.news/checkout/all?fpr=worldablazeWeb: https://www.worldablazepodcast.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fontesablaze/featuredX: https://x.com/fontesablazeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fontesablaze/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fontesablazeSubstack: https://substack.com/@fontesablaze

Born into a working-class family in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he never imagined he would one day be part of a fighter squadron that would help shape the final days of the Cold War and later participate in Operation Desert Storm.Michael reflects on the tensions and very real nuclear threat as he served while the Cold War between the USA and the Soviet Union was still going. He adds valuable insight as his station at Hahn Air Base gave him a literal up-close view of those under communist rule on the other side of the Berlin Wall, and gives all Americans a stern warning about the dangers of socialism.Michael also reflects on his service as the USA launched Operation Desert Storm, and gave some historical context and real world assessment about the Iran War today in 2026.Buy Mak's bookhttps://www.michaelmakatura.com/Support our Sponsors!!!🛒 Afuera Coffee Co. - Sustainable Coffee💰 Get 15% OFF | Promo Code: WORLDABLAZEhttps://promocode.to/afuera-coffee-co/worldablaze-yem🛒 Ground News - Get The Whole Story💰 Get 40% OFF | Promo Code: WORLDABLAZEhttps://ground.news/checkout/all?fpr=worldablazeWeb: https://www.worldablazepodcast.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fontesablaze/featuredX: https://x.com/fontesablazeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fontesablaze/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fontesablazeSubstack: https://substack.com/@fontesablaze
