248 Liberal doublespeak bad logic to watch out for - Is MAGA a cult?

Is MAGA a cult? The answers from the Left I've discovered are not honest. They sound good, but are really liberal doublespeak where they take your question, respond by asking a different question, answer that new question and assume it answers your question. Look out for this deceptive and dishonest arguing tactic. Live 8/11/2026. 0:00 – Intro to doublespeak which defeats conversation 1:48 – Liberals want to sow Trump hate & will say anything even without a firm argument 2:56 – Is MAGA a cult? Liberals will in turn to answer the question: Is Trump a cult leader? These are different questions 5:10 – Cults are defined by internal actions, not the existence of someone who might have the traits of a cult leader 8:06 – Like when youtubers call out MAGA as a cult without defining the word or much evidence | propaganda to low info voters 10:41 – Don't worry about argument points when the logic is questionable This podcast was a 2025 People's Choice Podcast Award nominee.

247 I read the Book of Mormon - book review through a writer's eyes

I read the Book of Mormon of the Church of Latter Day Saints, so you don't have to. I chose to view the book forgetting all I know and have read of the church, including ignoring controversies, its cult reputation, Mormon friends, Joseph Smith's critics, and criticisms/debunking of the religion. I approached the book as a writer (of numerous books) and a general spiritual speaker, attempting to come to it unbiased. How does it stand up as a bit of literature, true or not? This is not a dissection of the cult or of Mormons themselves or the religion in general, but Joseph Smith and his book that he either composed or translated.

245 How come trans people aren't suing doctors for malpractice? Debunking trans identity.

Questioning why there are no massive malpractice lawsuits due to doctors misgendering babies and boys/girls, only to find out years later they are not boys or girls but furries, non-binary, etc. How much better the world would be if doctors declared one was a furry at birth and not misgendering a baby. .... Actually, this one logical question debunks the current trans movement, as they can't prove any science in order to take doctors to court. Live 8/2/2026. Note: As someone who has taken an interest in the trans movement for 25 years, including dating a trans person when it was unpopular, I believe that much of the current trans movement is a social issue, not a medical condition. As the later would imply that in the last few decades when the medical establishment lifted the requirements that one had to live as the opposite sex long before surgery, do therapy first, etc, that suddenly at that same moment all of biology went wrong, biology changed, god mixes up bodies, etc. Coincidentally right at the moment the medical establishment realized they had a pot of gold science suddenly went haywire after half a million years, with no outside or scientific cause in sight, and we're told that over half the population is in the wrong body or other wild claims. What we really have is a small group of trans people - like the awesome activists Blaire White, Suhaila Devi, Buck Angel - and then others who are lonely, depressed, outsiders, autistic, gay, trapped, broken, etc, and they heard being trans solves all their problems (like Chloe Coe and my friend David Arthur of I Belong Ministries in Maine) and even the LGBQ community is beginning to say this truth.
