Israel is the Next America
I break down how Israel’s founding is eerily similar to the United States, and how their high-tech economy (including exporting water) could lead to a major expansionIIr
End the War on Happiness: Legalize Prostitution
It’s time to end The War on Happiness. AL makes the case that the way to really stimulate the economy AND end mass shootings is not to make guns illegal but prostitution legal. Take it from sleazy alleyways to a thriving boutique industry like marijuana.
Amazon Should Pick Atlanta for HQ2
I explain why Atlanta has the airport (hub of Delta Airlines), the facilities (last American city to host a Summer Olympics), cost, weather, space, transit routes, film production (3rd only to NY and LA), racial diversity, home prices, and perfect location to host Amazon’s HQ2

AL explains how choosing Doug Jones over Roy Moore has already created jobs for Alabama, and how North Carolina’s homophobic laws have cost them jobs. Plus, how bigotry now scares away business and makes it harder for red-state based companies to recruit top talent…
Is the #MeToo Movement a Pawn of Big Business?
I breakdown the mergers of Disney/Fox/Hulu, AT&T/Time Warner, and the disastrous repeal of net neutrality, and how MeToo is unknowingly paving the way for it.
PC Liberals are the New Social Conservatives
AL talks about joining the Alabama Democratic Party of the 90’s to get away from social conservatism, but today’s ultra-PC liberals may have more in common with social conservatives than they think…
Andrew Jackson & Teddy Roosevelt Would HATE Trump
Despite Trump’s idolation, Jackson (an actual boot-strapping populist that actually did have an inauguration crowd to remember) and the anti-trust, pro-conservation Roosevelt would HATE him.
Trump Considered Roy Moore a Rival
Why Trump didn’t REALLY want Roy Moore either–albeit for very different reasons. Did Trump recognize his own narcissism, meglomania, and refusal to take orders in a much more ideologically-credible politician?
