Dennis’s weekly thoughts and timeless wisdom by a crackling fire.
Ep. 337 — Iran Attacks Israel
Iran’s unprecedented direct attack on Israel should make it clear who aims to commit genocide in the Middle East. Israel, unlike Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, seeks only to live in peace. For the sake of the survival of the human race, we must have moral clarity when it comes to the battle of good vs. evil. Plus, Dennis answers your questions on Mormonism, parenting, and whether we can have hope for the future.

Ep. 335 — Gender and the War on Common Sense
According to a high school teacher, a student’s statement that “only women menstruate” is merely an opinion. Why are we told to “follow the science” but then mandated to ignore basic biology?

Ep. 334 — Hamas, Nazis, and Calling Out Evil
Why don’t people fight obvious evils? If you can’t tell that Hamas is as evil as the Nazis were, it is because you refuse to do so. It’s easy to identify evil decades after the atrocities of the Nazis, Stalin, and Mao. The trick is to call out evil while it’s happening. You have a moral obligation to do so.
