First time seeing you Sasha... Beautiful like I imagined. Thanks for the heads up on Jenny Holland. It's encouraging to know there are other GenXers who are seeing through the propaganda.
I'm older than you, probably by nearly 10 years. So yes, I'm a boomer. My epiphany happened during the Bush (W) years. I was a CNN junkie - watched it religiously. During the Bush years, though I was not a Bush fan, I noticed something. CNN had absolutely nothing good to say about him. I asked myself, "how can that be"? Not one positive thing. That started me looking elsewhere and flipping my brain back on. Yep. I had been brainwashed. It was a jolt coming out of it, but have never looked back. I'm embarrassed to say that I was asleep for so many years.
Thanks for the link, Stone. You look just like one of my nieces, which is a compliment to you both! Anyway, started the interview and will finish it later this week. :-)
When I first came across Jenny Holland I immediately thought she was coming in from similar but complimentary angles ... Fantastic that you are in communication, there could be substantial synergy between yourselves and maybe a naturally forming kernel that will attract other writers who fled the Democrats ...
I don’t know how I found Jenny a couple years ago. She’s great with an entirely congruent message to yours. You two are a matched pair! It would be fun to hear you two take apart a current topic.
Was going to add - please do this again- it reminded me of the joy I used to feel listening to Matt and Walter discussing issues on America This Week. I miss that show A LOT!! So if you can do a weekly repeat of this show with Jenny, it would be much appreciated. You gals were fantastic together.
Sounds like a movie could be made about all of this. I wonder if the people who act this way would realize it was them in the movie?
I see that Trump finally realized that Michael Cohen was likely lying about being coerced into testifying against The Donald. No matter, Candace Owens scorched the earth today exposing Jared Kushner and the depraved Alexander brothers, whose names had been mysteriously redacted from the Epstein files. Trump underestimated Candace...
CO also showed the recording behind Charlie Kirk that was taken down and kept from the public. No chance it was a 30-06 cartridge from that rifle of Tyler Robinson that fired a fatal shot. Instead, the evidence supports the exploding comms device similar to what the Israelis used previously with Hezbollah pagers.
Zero chance Tyler Robinson killed Charlie Kirk.
Yet Erika Kirk "forgives" Tyler and wants speedy justice.
Forgives Tyler for what? For being the lookout at the stairs that one can access the roof area from?
Speedy justice? If Tyler can't have killed Charlie Kirk, why is Tyler in jail awaiting trial? How is that justice?
Because my 2nd ex-wife, who was a model and diagnosed with dissociative personality disorder because of severe abuse as a little girl, I understand Erika Kirk more than Candace Owens. My 2nd ex-wife lied so much that she couldn't remember her previous lies and accused me of being evil just for pointing out a couple of her more egregious lies. Having a PhD, I tend to correct when people are wrong, so I am not sure how that makes me evil. Turns out it is because kids who were abused as children--as Erika obviously was--persist in persecuting people to play victim so as to effect "rescue" that was not forthcoming when young. Poking holes in their fabrications makes them feel threatened as though they are again vulnerable.
Sounds great. Simple conversation about life without the BS world surrounding us now. " lighten up Francis" . Personal evaluation in time. Soft life experience how life changed in time. Major turning points of note. Enjoy cheers
As a “Generation Jones” member of the last of the Boomers (1957), I know how it is to feel out of step with the political alignment of the group we are “supposed” to align with. Sasha and Jenny have opened my eyes to the fact that many of Gen J align far more with Gen X than our hippy Boomer brethren, even if we are within the birthyear range of Boomers. It all makes sense now!! What a great podcast and I hope you’ll do it again and again. And whoever is out there assigning “generational” categories — time for a relook.
I really enjoyed the discussion. I began moving rightward much earlier than you and Jenny but can relate to "presenting liberal" because I was always interested in movies and music. There was always an awkward pause when people realized I didn't share their political beliefs.
Epic pair. Jenny is great. Free thinking will save culture.

I subscribe to Jenny. She calls it like it is.

A weekly podcast with Jenny would be GREAT! It may make me a little less sad about losing America This Week with Matt and Walter.

Just watched it. Yes, the two of you should explore doing something on a regular basis. Please

Love Jenny. Looking forward to listening!
Brilliant free flowing conversation Sasha.
