It took some work, but I changed the drive belt in my wood lathe today. It will be easy next time I do it now that I figured it out. Instructions from the manufacturer were partly helpful. Youtube video was partly helpful. But like everything else in life, I had to make informed decisions on my own at each step. I hope people don’t lose problem solving skills with the prevalence of AI and LLMs. America and the world were built by hand with problem solvers.
I celebrated an award for my Mom last night and hope to watch OU win a baseball title today. Happy Father’s Day to all of the Dad’s out there. You make a difference and the world needs good fathers. I’m still trying to live up to the standard that my father and grandfather set.
The My Patriot Brain podcast will be on hiatus for an undetermined time period. Hiatus means a temporary pause. I love the show and hope to get back to it in the future.
I have been appointed to a part-time role consulting on industrial-organizational psychology with the United States Department of State. This is an exciting opportunity to use my skills to serve my country and I am honored to do so. However, it comes with restrictions so I had to make the hard decision to suspend the podcast.
Thank you to all of the listeners and supporters of the show. It is been meaningful to me to have the opportunity to serve you with the show and I am humbled by the fact that you choose to spend your time with me. I value the relationships that I have developed with you through the show.
However, this could be the chance for you to engage with me more. I plan to use Truth and Locals even more now that I don’t need to save material for a formal show at this time. I will continue to engage on Locals and...

I’m not a big conspiracy guy, but at the same time I am intellectually capable of connecting dots that logically connect. I have written about my experiences as a conservative writer of being silenced, shadowbanned, censored, etc. Unfortunately, I can’t link to any of those articles because my website blog was erased by its host this past Monday. One great example was how the CIA is required to have the transcript of the Church hearings on MKULTRA available as a public document, but they change the hyperlink regularly so any articles that link to it don’t direct the reader to the actual document.
Historically, I wrote about more mainstream things in my Psychology Today blog, posted more mainstream videos on YouTube, and save the more “controversial” topics that are likely to alienate the Big Tech overlords for my website blog, website podcast, Rumble, Truth Social, and Locals. My widely distributed “My Patriot Brain” podcast walks a line somewhere in between all of those. For the most controversial ideas, I have the subscriber only articles on Locals, where my content remains secured behind a paywall.
Election years are always interesting for conservative content creators. Historically, it’s been search engines hiding our content, popular social media platforms flagging our content as misinformation, blocking our content, or not allowing it to be shown to others. Since those are well documented, I have a theory about the next wave of attacks designed to regulate conservative communications.
What is scary is that I had this theory BEFORE this past week. Enough evidence had presented itself to me that I was already testing it against time. That is, I was able to make predictions and test the theory across time. Not an experiment, because I can’t control this in a lab. Let’s take a look at this.
