Lake Erie Currents

Jay and Chris move through a packed slate of stories: from Zohran Mamdani’s unlikely sit-down with Donald Trump, to welfare fraud allegations in Minnesota, to wild mayoral politics in Seattle. Along the way they dig into homelessness in Cleveland, child-safety failures, financial and religious loopholes, and even Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation amid renewed scrutiny of the Epstein files.

We firmly reject the blackpill, but they attaq us relentlessly. Drudge running cover that there wasn't a plot, yet we have the receipts. More of the same from the people who have been terrorizing your ancestors for 1400 years. And other news like the usual suspects kvetching over the execution of a convicted murderer with gas. We agree, there are cheaper methods.  https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/2-michigan-men-charged-alleged-halloween-terror-plot-rcna241597  Sponsors: Fairly Decent Golf on Insta YouTube & TikTok Rae Faba - fine art from the Great Lakes Team Mandalore - keep cycling weird i paint akron -Local artists bringing art instruction to the masses.

Maher vs. The News Cycle: The crew says Maher’s right to highlight violence against Christians in Nigeria—and wonders why Big Media treats it like Voldemort (“the crisis that shall not be named”). Free Speech, But Make It Selective: If coverage were a game show, some stories get a confetti cannon and others get… the witness protection program. World on Fire (Sometimes Literally): From a Michigan church blaze to a North Carolina drive-by, the “expanding theater of war” sounds way too much like a Marvel phase we didn’t order. Africa, Jihadists, and Global Shrugs: Jay argues Boko Haram’s atrocities get global ghosted, drops a (spicy) Libya take, and gives a history crash course on violent expansions—then asks why Western integration keeps feeling like a group project with no rubric. Cultural Tangles at Home: Dearborn drama, mayoral mud-wrestling (metaphorical… for now), and whether public squares can host Christmas lights and pluralism without exploding. Meanwhile in Portland: “Insurrection at ICE” posts, local officials allegedly playing Twister with enforcement. Migration & Integration: Cultural fit is complex; integration is a two-way street.

Jay expressed shock and frustration over the reaction of left-wing individuals to the assassination of Charles Kirk, emphasizing that Kirk was a moderate conservative who promoted civil dialogue. Jay criticized the celebration of Kirk's death by some on the left and highlighted the irony of people being fired for their social media reactions to the incident. Jay also questioned the narrative surrounding recent mass shootings, suggesting inconsistencies in the stories. They explored the suspect's relationship with a transgender roommate, his political beliefs, and the evidence collected by authorities. Jay criticized Kash Patel's involvement in the investigation and made jokes about Valhalla. They also discussed Charlie Kirk's views on transgender issues and his recent interactions with a transgender individual. The conversation concluded with updates on the FBI's investigation and the suspect's alleged actions leading up to the shooting. They also discussed the tragic murder of Irina Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee who was stabbed to death on a public transportation train in Charlotte, North Carolina. He expressed anger at the lack of action by other passengers and criticized the judicial system for releasing the suspect, DiCarlos Brown Jr., who had a history of schizophrenia and criminal convictions. Jay compared this case to the death of George Floyd, highlighting what he saw as a double standard in public reaction and media coverage. He suggested that if the victim had been a Black woman, there would likely have been widespread protests and destruction in the city. Jay concluded by calling for Brown Jr. to be publicly executed and warning others to filter their social contacts to avoid those with extreme views.

We discussed the murders at the Catholic Church in Minnesota; Jay vented about media spin, “manifesto cherry-picking,” and how every press conference turns into a Rorschach test. The takeaway: the killer’s writings were a stew of depression, contradictions, and bigotry—awful, not profound. The murderer stated that "six million was not enough," yet managed to completely avoid attaqing a synagogue, jewish politicians or yeshiva schools, just a Catholic Church with Catholic kids at Mass. How interesting.  We watched the clip with the scribbles on the weapons—Russian here, God there, random symbols everywhere. Verdict: not a 4D chess ideologue; more like a chaotic Pinterest board of bad ideas. Disgusting, tragic, and yes, embarrassingly cringey. CSI: Cyrillic Sixty-six pages of “Da, but why?” The guy mapped a church like he was speed-running a terrible video game and then wrote it all in Cyrillic for… vibes? Jay side-eyed the official story, Chris poked holes in the logic, Angel asked the practical questions. SSRIs, gun control, and conspiracy bait all showed up; none left with a trophy. Translating Doom (and Booking a Cruise) Angel pulled a translated journal entry from the Annunciation Catholic School shooter—grim logistics for a future attack. We hit pause and took a palate cleanser: the infamous Carnival chicken-finger brawl. Angel priced a 4-day Long Beach→Mexico run at “shockingly cheap,” then reminded everyone alcohol isn’t included—because nothing says “vacation” like paying extra to forget a fistfight over tenders. Elder Sasquatch Takes the Mission Field For dessert, Jay’s folklore fanfic: Bigfoot is actually Cain, cursed to wander until he—plot twist—asks to be baptized, gets a haircut, and becomes a Mormon missionary. Picture a seven-foot “Elder Foot” in a crisp white shirt, learning slang and logging 76 years of door-to-door repentance. Somewhere there’s a name tag that just says “Brother… uh… Big.”   Sponsors: Fairly Decent Golf on Insta YouTube & TikTok Rae Faba - fine art from the Great Lakes Team Mandalore - keep cycling weird i paint akron -Local artists bringing art instruction to the masses.
