The Truth Quest Podcast

The life journey of Associate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas from the segregation and poverty of Jim Crow Georgia to the Supreme Court of the United States is one that all Americans should admire. Instead of celebrating his tenure on the Court, his ferocious defense of the original intent of the Constitution and his masterful dissenting and concurring opinions, the national Democrats and leftists have treated him with disdain and contempt for over thirty years. In this episode, we counter the lies and propaganda about Thomas, review his judicial philosophy and highlight some of his greatest dissents.

"America's Anchor Man, Rush Limbaugh, died last week. The expression, 'you can always judge a man by the quality of his enemies' certainly applies to Rush as the onslaught on social media of the man's character and his life was quite impressive. He invented a genre - conservative talk radio - dominated it for thirty years while spawning hundreds of wannabes. He applied his craft with humor, often through clever parities about powerful people and questionable movements and causes. If he did not invent the montage, he perfected it. Employing the tool ruthlessly to expose the hypocrisy of politicians. His quick wit and use of language was unmatched: “Half my brain tied behind my back, just to make it fair.” “Right here in my formerly nicotine stained fingers.” "Talent on loan from God-d!" He created his own lexicon - the Gorbasm, feminazis, Drive-by Media, seminar callers, stack of stuff, Operation Chaos, Dittoheads, and Rush babies. He wrote two best-selling books, published a successful monthly newsletter, he had a very popular, yet short-lived television show, he raised tens of millions of dollars for charity, and created a history book series for children. But beyond all of his accomplishments, he was optimistic, undeterred by criticism and authentic. He taught his listeners to think for themselves. No Kool-Aid drinkers at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies where there are no graduates and there are no degrees because the learning never stops. When evaluating rhetoric and policy prescriptions, he encouraged his listeners to examine the motivation of the speakers and remove the emotion. He encouraged us to be critical thinkers. He was a force for good. He will be sorely missed by millions who will never look at 12:07 PM (EST) the same. Rest in peace Rush!

What a month it was! The Georgia Senate run-off, the Trump rally-gone-bad, another impeachment, social media purge of anything not liberal-leaning or anti-establishment, Biden's embarrassing inauguration, his 37 executive orders, Jacob Blake, John Kerry, Dr. Fauci, Andrew Cuomo, Gamestop and more!!!!

The Constitution served as the glue that held the United States together for over two hundred years. Unfortunately, over the last century, we have seen a steady erosion of the principles and rules of the game captured in that document. So much so that we now live in a post-constitutional country where the document is all but ignored or it is bastardized to fit the needs of the ruling class. The sheer size of the federal government and the power it wields far exceeds anything the founding generation could ever have imagined. For those who love the country, this is a sad revelation. For those who love power, control and influence, they can claim victory.

Back in 2010 conservative talk show host Michael Savage published a book titled, “Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.” Over the years as I digested, dissected and analyzed the political arena and evaluated the policy prescriptions of the Left, I often remembered the title of his book and reflected that Savage might have been on to something. In this episode, we examine several public policy prescriptions while asking the question, "what else besides politically-induced mental illness explains why people support and endorse these policies?" We discuss: abortion, gender, energy, the environment, fiat currency, guns, law enforcement, the welfare state, immigration and much more.

This episode should be a wake-up call. It should help you better understand the world in which we live. It should help you recognize "it" when you see "it" and call "it" out for what "it" is. The "it" is soft totalitarianism. Brighteon: https://www.brighteon.com/channels/truthquest Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/truthquestpodcast/

If ever a topic was ripe for The Truth Quest Podcast, it is the Paris Climate Accord. What makes it so perfect is the amount of virtue-signaling that it evokes which results in people breathlessly applauding its birth, raging over its death and celebrating its resurrection! All this joy and angst while basking in ignorance by ignoring the most important part of the story. . . the actual agreement and its consequences.

With the election over, Big Tech and the national Democrats are moving quickly to purge social media of dissent. In order to do that, they must control the narrative which requires them to behave like good old-fashioned totalitarians. In this episode, we examine: * Soft totalitarianism * Historical instances of speech censorship * How we got to this point * Why this is being done * The timeline of the purge * The tactics employed by the Left as they continue the purge of all things non-liberal, non-progressive, non-Democratic Party talking points including: fake news and lies, the use of boogie men, lying by omission and Whataboutism * The coming social credit score system ----------------------------------------- Grab your Truth Quest Merchandise at The Truth Quest Shirt Factory: www.TruthQuestShirtFactory.com With each shirt design there will be an explanation of what to expect from those inquisitive or brave enough to ask you about it.

In the last episode, we discussed the big picture of the 2020 Presidential Election. In this episode, we will examine irregularities, improprieties and illegalities in the battleground states of Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Arizona. Along the way I repeatedly pose the questions, "Given the sheer number of allegations, why isn’t there a massive call to get to the truth? To insure election integrity? Why the name-calling and casting of aspersions on people who want these things investigated and clarified?

Despite evidence of massive, gross, forensically-proven vote fraud and despite hundreds of signed affidavits by witnesses and sworn testimony before state legislative bodies, all the electorate got from the mainstream media (including Fox News), the national Democrats and state election officials from both parties was push-back, denials and name-calling. Meanwhile the majority of national Republicans remained ramrod silent and took no action to expose and/or push for investigations into the alleged fraud. In this episode we examine the 2020 presidential election from a big picture perspective. In the next episode, we will dive into the voting irregularities and apparent fraud at the state level.

December 2020 was another eventful month with the news dominated by the allegations, testimony and evidence of vote fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Other noteworthy stories include the return of Hunter Biden to the front page, Brexit, the death of Walter E. Williams, a car bomb in Nashville, various Corononavirus stories, and peace in the Middle East.

Rush Limbaugh recently uttered the “S” word on his program. . . SECESSION! The usual suspects in the alphabet soup, mainstream, corporate press lost their collective minds. Most of the opposition to secession is born out of ignorance. They called the idea nonsense, dangerous, treasonous, unconstitutional, un-American and racist. What is really behind the opposition to secession? How are these talking heads and columnists impacted in the slightest if a state leaves the union? Why do they care? Why put up such a fight? In this episode I uncover the real reasons behind opposition to secession, all of which should lead you to support the idea 100%.

When Walter E. Williams passed away last week, the world lost a giant intellectual, prolific columnist, humorist, economist and preacher of the truth about free markets and the U.S. Constitution. He was a master communicator with an uncanny ability to make complex topics and theories understandable. Throughout his life, he demonstrated unwavering courage to stand up and tell the truth starting with his challenge of the U.S. Army and President John F. Kennedy over racial discrimination in the military while holding the lowly rank of private! He spent decades teaching economics at George Mason University and, along the way, blessed us with volumes of logic and common sense - some of which I share with you in this episode.

A recent Washington Examiner/YouGov poll found that 3 out of 4 registered voters believe social media companies have too much influence over what news the public reads, with a majority also seeing these platforms as politically biased. Who can argue with those results given the amount of censorship being promulgated by Big Tech these days? In this episode, we examine Big Tech censorship. Along the way, I want you to continually ask the questions: Why can’t The Left allow free speech? What are they afraid of? ----------------------------------------- Grab your Truth Quest Merchandise at The Truth Quest Shirt Factory: www.TruthQuestShirtFactory.com With each shirt design there will be an explanation of what to expect from those inquisitive or brave enough to ask you about it.

Clearly the biggest story of the month was the presidential election, which AMAZINGLY played out just as the mainstream press and prominent Democrats told us it would. Trump would be way ahead when you went to bed election night but then Biden would eke out a victory a few days later after all the votes were counted. HOW DID THEY KNOW THAT’S HOW IT WOULD PLAY OUT??? Besides walking through the allegations and evidence of mass voter fraud, we discuss Covid, Big Tech censorship, Michelle and Barack's return to the public eye, Michael Flynn, the Supreme Court and Iran among other things.

This episode is a call to action to prioritize principles over your political party. Things like God, family, country, the Constitution, the rule of law and intellectual honesty. Without this prioritization of principles over party you will invariably stop thinking for yourself; you will stop thinking critically and devolve into dehumanization of your political foes, name-calling, incivility, dismissiveness, hypocrisy, an unwillingness to call out your own team and moral relativism. At the root of all of it is intellectual dishonesty and a willingness to view everyone as made in the image of God regardless of their political persuasions.

In order for your average Democrat / Liberal / Trump-hater to reconcile their world view, they must maintain certain beliefs based on inaccurate information, lies or on a series of woke, virtue-signalling platitudes. Unfortunately for them (and the country) much of what they believe tends to be anti-American, anti-capitalism, anti-Constitution and, most importantly (to them) anti-Trump. But that's only half of the story! They must protect these beliefs by figuratively putting on blinders that inhibit their vision of the many truths that contradict their world view. Additionally, they end up endorsing character assassination, political persecution and prosecution of their political opponents, which is standard practice from their leaders. At the end of the day, they are blinded by their political bias.

How did the Democrats win (steal) Pennsylvania's twenty electoral votes? In this episode I take a look at the numbers and explain how. Hint: Biden received 200,000 more mail-in and absentee votes than there were Democrat mail-in and absentee votes cast.

October 2020 was an entertaining month. We had Covid-19 in the White House, Vice President and presidential debates, Amy Coney Barrett, evidence of the Biden Crime Family, Big Tech censorship of conservatives and Republicans and much more.

In this episode we examine the American experiment through the lens of the Tenth Amendment which Thomas Jefferson called the foundation of the Constitution. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. That means, the federal government is only authorized to do those few things that have been delegated to it. It is my contention that, if the federal government was still in its tiny, little sandbox created for it by the Constitution, this country would thrive. Unfortunately the federal leviathan has not only outgrown its sandbox but has taken over the entire yard, neighborhood, state, country! The consequences of the overreach are largely unseen yet substantial. The corruption, the failure of one-size-fits-all policies, the influence peddling - all of it acts as a restraint on the American system of free markets, entrepreneurism, freedom and liberty. Instead we allow a handful of powerful people in D.C. and the media to divide us into a series of special interest groups who fight and bicker with each other. All the while the leviathan continues to grow and grow and grow with the only end in sight being the collapse of the U.S. dollar and the U.S. economy, which come to think of it, might have been the plan all along. ----------------------------------------- Grab your Truth Quest Merchandise at The Truth Quest Shirt Factory: www.TruthQuestShirtFactory.com With each shirt design there will be an explanation of what to expect from those inquisitive or brave enough to ask you about it.

In this episode I want to accomplish three things: #1 - Explain what court-packing is; #2 - Discuss the history of court-packing and; #3 - Explain how the threat to pack the court fits into the national Democrats broader strategy of one-party rule. After all they have already floated the idea of abolishing the filibuster in the Senate and abolishing the Electoral College. They are advocates for vote-by-mail, which is nothing more than voter-fraud-waiting-to-happen. They want statehood for Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. and open borders, amnesty, voting and welfare rights for immigrants - all of which equate to more power transferred to the national Democrats.

If you get your news from the numerous alphabet soup news outlets and any number of other mainstream, pro-Democratic Party sources, you are likely unaware of the recent bombshell stories that depict Joe Biden, not only as a liar, but a corrupt, influence-peddler-for-hire, mob boss.

Every time there is a police-involved death of a person of color, the Democrats use it as an opportunity to sow racial divide in America. They point to it and claim the nation is systemically racist. Now that the grand jury has spoken about the death of Breonna Taylor, I thought it was time to talk about this tragedy outside the fog of Leftists propaganda and disinformation. I also examine the missed opportunity to make some real reforms when it comes to no-knock warrants and the War on Drugs.

There is a consistent theme throughout this episode; most of these stories were covered up, breezed over or totally ignored by most mainstream media outlets. If you get your news from one of the alphabet soup news outlets, you likely have not heard about some of these stories or you were fed a skewed version of the truth. Consider: Nancy Pelosi's trip to the hair salon, the declassification of Russia collusion documents, the first presidential debate, Trump's Nobel Peace Prize nominations, RBG, the NFL and more.

Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg died recently. Let the fawning begin! While her work ethic and career as an attorney demonstrates many laudable traits and accomplishments, her record on the highest court in the land leaves anyone with the least bit of respect for the Constitution unimpressed and, quite frankly, angry. The bottom line is she did not do her job and should have impeached years ago, perhaps decades ago.
