The two focus heavily on inconsistencies in the reported flight data and cabin footage, including the claimed rapid descent, aircraft speed, lack of visible injuries or cabin disruption, oxygen masks, the damaged rudder, and the plumber's alleged ability to stabilize the aircraft,…

U.S. Is ALREADY A Socialist Country – For The Rich!

He also discusses Medicare, unions, immigration, homelessness, and policing,…

Ed Sheeran's OWN BAND Quits Tour Over Palestine!
After Macklemore was dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour for saying "Free Palestine," Sheeran's opening acts and band quit, citing Zionist lobbying and solidarity with Palestinians. Sheeran defended himself by claiming Macklemore's contract was with the promoter, not him, and said he wouldn't abandon fans, crew, or other acts—but Jimmy argues that Sheeran did abandon Macklemore and is complicit in censorship. Jimmy contends all art is political, neutrality in injustice favors the oppressor, and Sheeran cannot claim to be apolitical while letting a billionaire silence pro-Palestine speech. The…

Iran Has COMPLETELY DESTROYED The US Base In Bahrain!
In the segment, guest host Garland Nixon is joined by antiwar.com's Kyle Anzalone to discuss Iran's devastating attacks on the U.S. Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain, which is so badly damaged that U.S. personnel cannot even return to retrieve personal effects, exposing Trump's claims that Iran is defeated as lies. The two highlight how Bahrain's majority Shia population cheered Iranian missile strikes because the U.S. base enforces the Sunni monarchy's oppression, and that Iran's attacks also caused supply problems for the USS Abraham Lincoln.
