What is a myth? To many Americans, a myth denotes a lie, a fairy tale that cannot be proven. Take for example the “Lost Cause” myth and how establishment historians use the term myth as a pejorative. But myths are the foundation of much of our historical consciousness, and a recent piece in The Smithsonian Magazine wants Americans to subscribe to a certain myth about …more

You might recall that back in December I talked about the lawsuit Texas filed in federal court to try to stop the certification of the Electoral College results. They built their case around the “Electors Clause” of the Constitution, meaning that the Constitution explicitly states that the Electors are to be chosen by the legislatures of the States. Article I, Section 4 also declares that …more

America isn’t in trouble because of Joe Biden. Uncle Joe wouldn’t remember to tie his shoes unless someone told him to do it. America isn’t in trouble because of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and “The Squad.” They are too stupid and mentally unstable to be taken seriously, though most leftists on Twitter seem to do so. That alone is an appalling commentary on American politics. America is …more

In 2012, I wrote a piece for the Daily Caller titled, “President Obama Doesn’t Play Enough Golf.” Critics complained that Obama spent too much time hitting the links and not enough time in the Oval Office. How wrong they were. The more Obama sat behind his desk in Pennsylvania Avenue, the more damage he did with a pen and a phone. Biden has ripped a …more

You know you are winning when so called “Blue States” are talking about secession. Case in point, CALEXIT or a host of other secessionist movements that popped up during the Trump administration. It’s hard to determine if these are going to be lasting secession movements. Progressives typically love centralized power too much to give it up, but then again, so do neoconservatives. Which is why …more

If you listen to the woke idiots on the left (and neocon right), Confederate monuments were built to honor and perpetuate white supremacy and slavery. This would logically mean that the Union monuments built during the same period would explicitly state that they were built to honor abolition and egalitarianism. Except very few of them say anything about either. In fact, they don’t typically mention …more

According to a poll from YouGov and The Economist, a plurality of respondents think Barack Obama is the best president in American history. This is stunning. Donald Trump was also ranked in the top five, which means most Americans don’t know history beyond the last two decades. Sad, but true. Which is why you need this show. I talk about the poll and “President’s Day” …more

You almost can’t make up the hubris of the political left. No one holds them accountable, so they can be as corrupt (and stupid) as possible. Case in point, an article in Time Magazine that openly admits to a political conspiracy before the 2020 election in an effort to defeat Trump. The term is included in the title to the piece. What’s funny, of course, …more

Nevada is going to allow large tech companies to create self-autonomous cities in order to lure them to the State. This prompted a listener to ask me if this was a think locally, act locally issue. Short answer, no, but there are some interesting things to discuss with the issue, so I covered it in the 400th episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Leftist “journalist” Casey Michel penned a piece for Politico insisting that Joe Biden take a page from U.S. Grant concerning potential “insurrection” in the United States. His solution? Use the military to bully people and then crush civil liberties. Michel sounds like a nice guy. This piece is nothing more than hysterical history and hyperbole masquerading as serious “journalism.” I explain in this episode of …more
