  • Re: Dressed for Success

    This is an interesting and atypical topic for War Room.

  • Ron Granieri excites us when it comes to history and strategy

    This is an outstanding podcast for anyone interested in understanding modern events with some historical perspective.

    Ron Granieri is a fantastic host with a sultry voice that leaves me purring like a relaxed kitten while simultaneously exciting the listener like a teen at a Harry Styles concert with his profound knowledge of German military history.

    I highly recommend this podcast as a means to have a better understanding of the world around you and how events unfold.

  • Seriously?

    Morell and a few of his IC colleagues told the world Hunter's laptop was russian propaganda. Turns out Morell and his pals lied in hopes of influencing a U.S. election. Everything he said since is filtered through that lie. Trust? lol...yeah, trust a veteran spook at your own peril, lol
