Buck Johnson is the creator of the Death to Tyrants podcast. Johnson describes the show as “anti-warfare, anti-welfare, pro-liberty” and himself as a “hardcore paleo-libertarian/anarcho-capitalist” and a “huge proponent of secession and decentralization.” The Texas native is a longtime musician and has played drums for many of the roots, rockabilly, punk, and country acts in …
Welcome to the Dissident Mama podcast #19. In this episode, I talk Tim Kirby, independent journalist and creator of the This is Russia: Tips, Tricks & Travel – a fascinating YouTube channel that is also cross-published at Russia Beyond.

In lucky episode #13, I talk with Father John Whiteford, who’s a priest in the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR) and head priest at St. Jonah Orthodox Church in Spring, Texas.

In part 1, I described America as having a moral sickness. This disease is highly evident in the $2 trillion “recovery” package Congress just passed on Friday. Forget the fact that only $300 billion of the unfathomable price tag is for the “economic rescue plan” which will throw Monopoly money at lower-income American households. United …
David Brooks’ newest for The Atlantic Monthly, “The Nuclear Family Was a Mistake,” has been making the rounds on social media. My initial comment was: “David Brooks pushing subversion? I’m shocked.” I was assured by a couple smart folks that the headline was “clickbait,” the article was “good,” and that Brooks wasn’t “pushing anything.” Reading …

Matthew Silber, a.k.a. “Lewis Liberman,” was the type of guy you could contact with a moment’s notice and explain, “Hey man, can I tell you about this essay I’m working on? It’s pretty radical. Uh, do you think you could come up with a compelling lead graphic by, say, tomorrow?!” His reply was almost always …
“It is un-Christian to wear a MAGA to the March For Life.” That was the social-media pronouncement from a really nice guy I know. What would make a usually mild-mannered Christian post such hostility? Moreover, this statement came a whole week after the brouhaha surrounding the male students from Covington Catholic High School. A whole week …
“Religious liberty might be supposed to mean that everybody is free to discuss religion. In practice it means that hardly anybody is allowed to mention it.” — G.K.
