Joe Biden gave one of the strangest and most senile State of the Union addresses last night. Also, we got a rising star in the form of Alabama Senator Katie Britt to deliver the GOP response. Oh, and Oregon recriminalized low-level drug use this week, but what if the data and reality don't support the legislation? What if the folks like Matt Walsh are dead-wrong about what the data says about this issue? Can it be true that legalizing drugs is bad and that criminalizing drug use is also bad?

On an otherwise sleepy "Super Tuesday" the voters in multiple RINO-led districts stood up for school choice and their voices to be heard. Is that a sign of hope in the GOP? Also, the Chicago Teachers Union wants a $50 billion union contract and MSNBC laughs at those who think immigration is a big deal in Virginia. All on a #WTFWednesday edition of Critical Thinking. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Justin Trudeua says the quiet part out loud? Wishing that Russia wins over Ukraine? Also, Marry Poppins is now racist and we get an inside-the-park home run for the ages in a Spring Training Game. Oh, and Federalist Papers No. 16 goes under the microscope on today's Critical Thinking. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Polling in seven swing states favors Trump over Biden and now MAGA Forever tells us we have to believe in the polls. Bold strategy...Also, I wonder about DEI being bad for your health outcomes if you don't play ball and what about the COVID Crazies and their unwillingness to admit they were wrong about kids and schooling? It all comes your way on a #TruthOrFictionTuesday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Google's new AI, "Gemini" was exposed for its anti-White racism late last week and it only continued to get worse as its leftist bias was put on full display all over X this weekend. Yet, will anyone do anything about it? Like, I don't know, stop using gmail or calendar or Google Docs? Probably not and Google knows it. Also, the AP decides to hide the illegal status of an alleged murderer...oh and we put The Federalist Papers No. 14 under the microscope as well. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
A Politico reporter went on MSNBC to continue her crusade against "Christian Nationalism" because they want to establish a THEOCRACY, telling the audience that our rights don't come from God, but do come from government. That and Justin Trudeau wants a "common set of facts" to be determined for us all to work from. How about no? That and three amazing takes this week, including one from Joe Biden! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
After an FBI informant is charged with lying to the FBI and trying to play both Russia and the United States against each other, the left says the case against Joe Biden and the Biden Crime Family should be closed. Oh really? I examine their claim. Also, Joe Biden gets the media to play along with his charade of a "student loan debt cancellation" game. Finally, The Federalist Papers No. 13 goes under the microscope. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In one of the most idiotic, yet telling, stories of just how far the tentacles of the Spirit of the Age have gone in to our society...there was a drag funeral performed at St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC — and the priest sat there and did nothing. The Church since has performed a mass of reparations to God for offending him. In a totally unrelated story, a member of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence was arrested on charges of child sexual exploitation and porn. Ewww. In France, they want the ability to jail you for speaking up against the COVID-19 vaccine "and other reasonable" medical things.

Have we learned nothing from history..ancient or otherwise? Apparently not, as some in congress want to give illegals the ability to earn citizenship by becoming our fighting force. Hello, late Roman Empire, anyone? Also, is Abraham Lincoln the worst president in American history? Oh and Federalist No. 11 is under the microscope too.

Fani Willis and Nathan Wade had to testify in a hearing to dismiss them from the case against Donald Trump in Georgia and boy, oh-boy, did it not go as well as they thought it would in their heads or when they were on the stand. Willis admitted to felonies, looked like an unhinged and deranged witness at times and even wore her dress on backwards somehow. Also, I talk about the rest of the best and worst takes of the week and I examine Federalist Paper No. 10 in our continuing study of this important work in American civic life. Hosted on Acast.

The worst ad during the Super Bowl this past weekend was easily the blasphemous "He Gets Us" ads. Well, there was a challenge made to do it better, if you think you can, and boy did someone ever up the ante. I discuss the ad centered on the message or repentance just in the knick of time for the Lenten season. Also, a man of action takes down a thug who decided to settle some gang beef with a gun during the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl party. Also, I look at Federalist No. 9 and its message that history already tells us how loose confederacies end — and it ain't good. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Speaker Mike Johnson kept a promise and got DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas impeached on the 2nd try. So, now what? What does it even mean? Why does it even matter, or does it even matter? Also, I've got "screw the constitution" takes, Biden's totally with it takes and "how to squat in Portland" videos for you on this #WTFWednesday edition of Critical Thinking. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
After pulling an all-nighter, because this is the "most important vote of all-time in the Senate," Team GOP gave the dems a win on funding for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, while nothing to actual AMERICAN border security. Because of course. Also, what about being willing to pay a price to stay free? Federalist Papers No. 8 gets studied as well on this #TruthOrFiction Tuesday! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Hawaii's Supreme Court shredded the constitution in a ruling on a 2nd amendment case. If you don't believe we are not sharing the same country, I don't know what else will convince you. Also, thoughts on the Super Bowl, Hamas tunneling under a U.N. aide building and Federalist Papers. No. 7! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The Special Counsel report on the Joe Biden Classified Documents case is out and it paints a bleak picture of Joe Biden's mental capacity. In the aftermath, the media took the gloves off. What does it all tell us and did the special counsel get it right in not recommending any charges? Also, I react to Biden's reaction to the report and the media. Finally, Federalist Paper No. 6 goes under the microscope on this edition of Critical Thinking! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Speaker Mike Johnson has vowed to bring up, and pass, Articles of Impeachment against DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, but will that solve anything? If so, do it. If not, what are you even doing? I also look at the results of D.C.'s pilot "economic mobility" program, and shocking — it was an epic failure. What's not an epic fail? How about a team of youngsters unraveling the mystery of 2,000-year-old Pompeiian scrolls? The Federalist Papers study continues with Federalist Paper No. 5 as well. The Pompeii scrolls story: https://twitter.com/natfriedman/status/1754519304471814555 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Ronna McDaniel is stepping down as RNC Chair after the South Carolina primary, but the news on who could replace her might make things worse. Also, an OnlyFans mom is upset that her kids Christian School would have an issue with her promoting her site on school grounds. Oh and you and I are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to create an app that helps dudes who want to be chicks, sound more like chicks. Only on a #WTFWednesday could this happen here on Critical Thinking. Follow on X: https://x.com/thecoppensshow Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Donald Trump's appeal on grounds of Presidential Immunity was denied by the D.C. appellate court on Tuesday morning. Least shocking news ever, but did the court get it right and where does Trump go from there? Also, the House tells the Senate GOP that their "deal" struck on immigration and foreign military aid is DOA — showing just how dumb and serious they are taking the crisis on the Southern Border. Oh, and we continue to read the Federalist Papers, with No. 3 on the docket today. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Nikki Haley made an appearance in the opening segment of Saturday Night Live. She not only was overshadowed by a medicore Trump impression, but looked and sounded like a robot — why must Team GOP always fall for the trap of trying to be a hip celebrity? WHY? Also, we continue our exploration of The Federalist Papers, with Federalist Paper No. 2, and I continue to wonder why so many on the right, who want to take Texas' side in the battle against the Feds at the Southern Border continue to quote them.

Elon Musk was set to hit on a 12% of company-value stock option package at Tesla. Then came a Biden-tied judge in Delaware to literally snatch away potentially $55 billion in wealth from Musk. Totes not politically motivated or anything! Also, Disney loses bigly in case against Ron DeSantis and Florida. Today also begins our in-depth look at The Federalist Papers, starting from the beginning with Federalist Paper No. 1, written by Alexander Hamilton. Hosted on Acast.
