Glad to see SRS bringing on guests from all sides, but I can’t take this one serious. She says a lot of words but not much weight to them, and hard to take her serious when she sounds like Loudermilk’s coffee girl, says “like” in every sentence with vocal fry.

2025-08-04 16:17:48 +0000 UTCThe Afghanistan withdrawal is a total humiliating, capitulating catastrophe that belongs to Biden administration — the President himself, his Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense and the shadow administration of Obama and his coven of evil. They hate the United States and they demonstrated it. If they had any honor they would have fallen on their own swords!

2025-07-27 21:45:23 +0000 UTCJust a quick note on the SWIFT program…Simone makes a point of being pretty confident that this resource was not being used by the American government for nefarious homeland purposes, only for counter-terrorism targets…are we just suppose to glance over the fact that FBI was labeling mothers at school boards as ‘domestic terrorists’ under Biden?! I have no knowledge of SWIFT being used in that regard..just came to mind during the interview…

2025-07-26 15:44:10 +0000 UTCWe did not have that level of penetration into Iran's nuclear program or do foreign governments have that level of penetration into our intelligence agency? I'll let you decide which you think it is.

2025-07-25 00:28:35 +0000 UTCI'm pretty sure the Chinese and other nation state actors have been inserting plants in the U.S. educational system for years. It just makes sense to turn the U.S. from the inside out.

2025-07-24 23:40:33 +0000 UTCI don’t want an echo chamber. I just don’t want Marxist idiots who want to take our country down!! I don’t want to hear the other side. I don’t want to hear them at all. We’ve heard them for 60 years!! I’m sick of their perspectives. I’m sick of their sickness! It spreads. I can hear him and not want to follow him, but it’s everywhere and shoved down our throats!! I reject it. I refuse to watch it. I won’t support or watch those who support them. There’s plenty of different voices on the right side, which are the actual Americans and NOT those that want to eliminate our country. They want a global governance - America doesn’t exist or have their sovereignty at that point. So: wake up. New ones come from not college. There’s a generation of critical thinkers. They are those who are making businesses and getting jobs with no skills right out of high school with the chips stacked against them, and they are still making it. There are plenty. You just have to change your DEI standards and hire from our white and brown populations, too (70%). This is so annoying though that people can’t figure it out why there’s a division and what we are doing — especially believers. Ugh 😒

2025-07-24 04:24:47 +0000 UTCJust another mind blowing interview. Great to see SRS always ahead of the curve finding unique guests informing the American public. Glad the stop funding terrorist bill was brought up. One of many topics we can’t let slide. Funny how you do an interview with Erik Prince and Eric Bethel about China’s 350-1 ship building capabilities. (Hopefully I stated/spelled that all correctly). Then shortly week or weeks after Secretary of State is talking about China’s ship building capabilities and bringing manufacturing back to the U.S.. SRS is making a difference this interview with Simone hopefully will have the same effect. No more money to terrorist! 🇺🇸

2025-07-24 03:21:36 +0000 UTCWhere her allegiance lies, is too transparent. I don’t buy her bullshit for one second. She said that US soldiers not getting the help they need is totally different from Israelis. Basically they deserve it and we don’t. Fuck you lady wipe the cum off your yamakah

2025-07-22 23:59:49 +0000 UTCGood interview. She was very knowledgeable and gave some good insights and perspectives. She's right, we are paying for our gwot policy mistakes and we will be for a long time.
