AL goes off about Trump’s horrible deal-making, and notices a clear pattern with Trump ripping up the Iran Deal (which led to high gas prices), going tougher on Canada/Europe (which will likely trigger a recession) than China/Russia, and giving North Korea everything they want but asking for little in return. Towards the end, I also…

Interracial Couples Will Save the World
Those that saw the last video know my son was deteremined to get some face time, so I held him while trying to explain how interracial couples will save the world, and why people who doubt that are full of it since we don’t live in a world where interracial couples are anywhere near 50%,…
It’s Ok to ONLY Interracially Date
I thought I’d make a video about why people who prefer interracial dating shouldn’t be bullied, and how it’s the last sexual group it’s okay to openly mock, but my son had other plans–crashing the party at about the mid-point where I push back against the notion “too many people interracially date” (often said about…
12 Most Common Stereotypes About Black Women/White Male Relationships
Note: I actually wrote this for an interracial couples Facebook group many years ago before Alabama Liberal even existed, but since plenty of other people have re-posted in the years since, why not the person who actually wrote it? Since it’s “Loving Day” (an underrated holiday that didn’t even trend on twitter this year), it’s the…
Jordan Peterson Got Big Because Men Have No Role Models
In this thorough takedown, Alabama Liberal talks about the void for modern men’s role models and what’s driving millennial male anxiety, and how Jordan Peterson dusted off some very dated ideas to fill it. In this wide ranging video, AL explains how the anti-hero media culture and prosperity preaching gave rise to Trump; why (most)…
Noble Peace Prizes Aren’t Presidential Participation Trophies
Trump wants a Noble Peace Prize merely because Obama got one, but AL explains why an egomaniac who constantly threatens nuclear war, drone war, trade war, Civil War, media war, or bringing back torture is the least likely candidate for “Noble” or “Peace” or deserving of yet another participation trophy.
The Worst Pixar Movie (and Why They Should Cool it with Sequels)
AL gives his pick for the worst Pixar film ever made, a brief defense of the misunderstood “Cars 2” (the rare bumpkin-empowerment movie), and talks about why Pixar should stop making so many sequels.
James Comey is a Useless Phony
AL takes aim at the unbelievably full-of-shit James Comey, who’s positioned himself as a modern-day Superman when he actually 1. Cost Hillary the race, 2. Didn’t say a word about Russia collusion when the CIA was talking about it, 3. Only had a problem with Trump after he was fired, and 4. His firing was…
Alabama Political Ads vs. California Political Ads
Ad for Kay Ivey (“Tough as Nail” is ad title) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-RkV… [And I could not find an ad for Gavin Newsom on YouTube, but his TV ads emphasize gun control and his record of fighting for LGBT/immigrant rights.] After watching the campaign videos, watch AL explain how two front-runners for Governor in two states he’s…
Great Movies Revisited: “The Truman Show” is One of My Favorites
On the 20th Anniversary of “The Truman Show,” I explain why it’s one of the best movies of the 90’s and one of my personal favorites of all time. A powerful religious allegory, a razor-sharp media satire, and a drama for the ages all wrapped into one movie; it’s the best film ever made that…
Edward Snowden is a Fame Whore
On the 5th anniversary of the Snowdean leak, AL explains why Snowden is a weird symbol for privacy, wonders if whistle blowers should have a documentary film their leaks, and why most people don’t care about Snowden’s revelations: our fear is not that people are listening, but that no one is listening. In 2016, we’re…
Bad Movies Revisited “The Phantom Menace”
In the wake of “Solo”‘s flop, AL revisits the despised “Phantom Menace” and makes the case that it’s actually not the WORST “Star Wars” movie. He talks about the prequel trilogy’s real arc (the seductive lure of fascism) and ranks all the Star Wars movies.
Samantha Bee (and Most Liberals) Went After Ivanka Trump for the Wrong Reason
The worst thing about Samantha Bee calling Ivanka Trump a “cunt” isn’t the word itself—unlike our British cousins (who say it as much as “shit” or “damn”), Americans have always been rather churlish about an insult that, really, is much less offensive than “bitch” if you really think about it. The worst thing is why she was…
