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.
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 ...
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. :-)
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.
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.
I've been slowly watching it since I saw it dropped. Two of my favorite online ladies together. Whoot! BTW, I love the name of your substack. I vote for not changing it.
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.
Another Gen Jones here—agree totally with your take. The world we lived in—huge inflation, recession, massive interest rates, and even in high school gas rationing and oil price shocks was VASTLY different than boomers like the Clintons and their ilk.
My parents were outwardly traditional but inwardly unconventional, as am I. Conformity of thought was such a feature in my mid career period and thereafter and particularly in my son’s era.
I can point to several specific aha moments—one in early 90s when I was traveling for work and heard, literally, the EXACT same words by news stations in very different regions. The Clarence Thomas hearings, and the idiocies of the Russia gate hoax and subsequent ops against Trump in his first term. Kavanaugh hearings and the penultimate op with lies upon lies was how COVID was framed by the media and the globalist elites.
So very thankful to be in an era where many more have experienced scales dropping from their eyes. We need to work assiduously to win the mid terms or we’ll have lawfare, impeachments and media lies on steroids.
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.
Agreed!

Sasha, thanks for introducing your audience to Jenny - I hadn’t encountered her work before. Fun interview- gives me hope for the future.

I follow her on YouTube :-)
Loved the "Podcast Hos" idea! You have to do it!
Oh gosh!! My two favorite people together!
