This installment in the Woodrow Wilson series covers the period of the Wilson presidency from the summer of 1914 through the end of that year, when he said he wanted to keep the US neutral & out of the war, & still seemed to at least kinda mean it.

CJ recently recorded this DHP Bonus Episode during one of his long drives that he's been doing as part of some of the non-DHP-related work he's been doing lately to make ends meet, and he decided to share it with "gen-pop" -- ie, freeloading, non-supporting listeners ;) -- on the public DHP feed for a limited time, too. Join CJ as he discusses so-called "Orange Marches" in the context of Irish history, and how Woke Progressives' appropriation, deconstruction & vandalization of beloved fictional universes & characters in recent years is in some ways analogous to these marches.

Harding, which was recently released in paperback. Join CJ & Ryan as they discuss Warren Harding, his presidency, and how, in contrast to the Establishment's take, Harding was actually a very good president, and far, far superior to his immediate predecessor, Woodrow Wilson - at least, if you actually value things like peace, freedom, civil liberties, & prosperity.

We've all heard of the famous 'butterfly effect.' But is there a plausible, realistic, alternative historical scenario in which the US & the world could've been spared the worst aspects of Woodrow Wilson's presidency merely by altering one seemingly minor detail of the 1912 election? Yes there is. Join CJ in this super-concise DHP episode as he discusses just such a scenario, whereby changing only one seemingly humble variable in 1912 would probably have given the US a POTUS who would've kept the country out of WWI & thereby avoided the worst aspects of Woodrow Wilson.

From segments recorded during multiple drives, CJ pieced together his first Silver Bullet episode in over 6 months (and his longest Silver Bullet episode ever), in which he goes over in detail 13 of his biggest complaints about academia, based on his observations & experience from having been a student in it for 6 years & a teacher in it for 16 years. Join CJ as he discusses the following problems with modern conventional academia: No real market feedback mechanism to indicate whether a "good education" is being provided. Overspecialization. Rigid credentialism. Too many courses online (especially at the intro/gen-ed level.) Excessive disability accommodations. Private-sector profiteering (off a captive audience & cartelized, non-competitive system.) Administrative bloat. A focus on arbitrary metrics that can be juked/gamed. Degree inflation. The accreditation agencies functioning as a cartel enforcer to artificially restrict entry & reduce competition. Ideology baked into most (if not all) disciplines, in many cases for over a century. The adversarial relationship often automatically created between student & teacher. State & corporate influence & control.

Finally, more than a year after Woodrow Wilson Part 9, CJ returns to the story of the man he loves to hate! This time, we're going to take a detour from the chrono-narrative of Wilson's presidency; this one is going to focus on Wilson's beliefs, statements & actions on race throughout his career as an academic & politician. Was Woodrow Wilson a racist? The short answer is yes, without a doubt. But as is so often the case with history, the details are more complicated & more interesting than most people realize!

In this episode, CJ discusses 12 authors who (in his opinion) deserve to be more widely known & read among libertarian/anarchist/etc type people. Most of these authors would not actually identify as "libertarians" or "anarchists," but all have a strong independent streak & have at least some views & attitudes that overlap with libertarianism and/or anarchism. Furthermore, all of them are great writers in their respective genres.

Enjoyed the chat guys. From my experience I believe NYTimes staff Journos are on $100k plus (up to 150k+ according to Glassdoor). There were extensive contacts between Poland and Ireland in 70s/80s. Solidarity Union has massive support in Ireland mostly via the Catholic Church.

DHP won't cover certain topics, which makes it similar to the Tom Woods Show podcast. The following is a list of topics that “Conservative, Republican, Libertarian” types have in common with socialists. 1. DHP won't cover how an American socialist (Francis Bellamy) wrote the Pledge of Allegiance and it was the origin of the Nazi salute and Nazi behavior adopted later under Hitler’s German socialism (a discovery by the historian Dr. Rex Curry). 2. DHP won't cover the "swastika" as "S" letter shapes to symbolize socialism under Hitler (another discovery by the historian Dr. Rex Curry). DHP was unable to make the discoveries in #1 & #2 because of DHP's ideological bias. 3. DHP won't cover Hitler as a socialist; DHP is ignorant of the fact that Hitler et al did not describe their movement with the words “Nazi, Fascist, Third Reich, nor Swastika.” DHP is ignorant of the fact that Hitler’s ilk described themselves as “Socialist” (by the very word) in their voluminous speeches and writings. 4

Oh dear , I can’t believe how full of yourself you are . I was expecting a well balanced argument but sadly let down . I don’t think you have a clue about the real world of the 1940s Is it possible that dropping the bombs saved more life than it took on both sides I would love to see the end of war and atomic bombs, but if I was on a landing ship waiting to go ashore I honestly think I would be glad to survive.
