  • Weird

    Disagree. Lazy and stupid? Let anyone try to maintain the schedule he’s maintaining. You can’t cheat my lying eyes. Who really is lazy and stupid? One might accuse him of being sleep deprived.

    Without any evidence they claim that the the Democrats “stole” the November 2025 election. A simple disregard for truth.

  • Pickapeppa red hot sauce.

    Made in Jamaica, aged in rum barrels, has that hint of rum flavor. Hot enough but has that extra flavor and aroma.

  • New host talks too much

    Love the Dispatch. Used to love this podcast in particular, but Steve seems to do less “hosting a discussion,” and more presenting a series of monologues to which he allows brief responses. You’ve got great panelists! Let them panel!
