Wide Angle with Brendon FallonDr. Seuss vs Cardi B Meme Gets Fact Checked; Cancel Culture Double Standard| Wide Angle with Brendonhttps://youtu.be/OPwnxHM8McgDid someone just cancel sarcasm? Because last time I checked, memes, which are inherently sarcastic and not intended to be 100% factual, are now being FACT CHECKED!! It turns out that while President Trump DID (more or less) kill Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander, Qassem Soleimani; Biden didn’t technically kill MR POTATO HEAD — Thanks for clearing that up for us Facebook; also, while certain Dr. Seuss books have been pretty well cancelled, it turns out that last year’s steamy WAP track, by Cardi B wasn’t technically voted song of the year — Thanks for...2021-03-1111 min
Wide Angle with Brendon FallonTrump: Biden’s Presidency “Most Disastrous” So Far; Pressure on Biden to Boycott Beijing 2022 Mountshttps://youtu.be/RUNhGoyV85MTrump launched a ‘no holds barred’ attack on the Biden administration yesterday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando Florida. The Democrats are passing a $1.9 Trillion COVID-19 relief bill, with only 9% allocated to combating the virus; Big Tech censorship of conservatives continues unchecked, and Biden’s failure to boycott the Beijing Olympics, despite the CCP’s genocide of the Uyghur—were among Trump and other leading Republicans’ targets for criticism. Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) wants states to fight the radical Democratic agenda that’s seeing transgender men competing in women’s sports; minimum...2021-03-0311 min
Wide Angle with Brendon FallonBiden Benefits from Censorship, says Paul Sperry; A Blueprint Back to American Freedoms(1)https://youtu.be/B82OLCWYHAAAs Big Tech expands its stranglehold on free speech in increasingly odd and worrying ways, the Biden administration remains silent. Paul Sperry, the latest in a long line of journalists to be suspended by Twitter links this to Hunter Biden’s shady dealings with the Chinese Communist Party and Ukraine; which remained so well concealed by social media that they were not discovered by voters until after the election. Orwell’s “1984” projected an unnerving vision of the future, characterized by mass surveillance, censorship and brutal consequences for ‘thought deviation (crimes).’ This charged the imaginatio...2021-02-2120 min
Wide Angle with Brendon FallonFour Reasons Trump Comes Through Impeachment Untouched; Hercules Star The Latest Celebrity Cancelled | Wide Angle with Brendonhttps://youtu.be/2ULOLsaePPkThe level of attack launched against former President Trump by media, the Washington DC establishment politicians, and others factions has been unprecedented. His and his family members’ names have been dragged through the mud, he’s been multi-laterally censored by Big Tech, he’s been impeached on vague, unsubstantial grounds — twice; and yet comes through all of it just as popular as ever. Tonight we look at four pivotal reasons why. The latest Hollywood celebrity to fall victim to cancel culture is ‘Hercules: The Legendary Journeys’ star, Kevin Sorbo. The 62-year-old actor has had his Faceb...2021-02-1819 min

Referring to Big Tech censorship, as well as perhaps the business and social lockdowns in response to COVID-19, Pitbull said these things “smell like communism.” He added that Castro would be jealous of how quickly and broadly authoritarian governments and companies have managed to wield control over the people in the name of ‘pandemic safety.’ In the wake of the second impeachment hearing, one of Trump’s lawyers...2021-02-1609 min

Her new career opportunity with “The Daily Wire” goes to show that standing up to the ‘authoritarian Hollywood mob’ can ultimately work in your favor. Of course Yoda would be turning over in his grave if he new that the new custodians of the Star Wars franchise, Disney, were...2021-02-1414 min
Wide Angle with Brendon FallonOrwell’s ‘Animal Farm’ Has Nine Warning Signs For The World Today | Wide Angle with Brendonhttps://youtu.be/7LH2tte5yvwMore than 75 years on, people still turn to George Orwell’s classic dystopian visions of totalitarianism, “Animal Farm” and “1984” to better understand modern-day threats to our basic freedoms. Mirroring the events of the Russian Revolution, “Animal Farm” begins with the promise of a “bright, utopian future” for all the animals if they will only revolt to break from the shackles of human ownership. What happens next though reflects an all too common historical pattern, marked by deceit, betrayal and bloodshed. Our basic freedoms are under threat here in America. People in many other Western...2021-02-1318 min

Wide Angle with Brendon FallonChina: Time for the U.S. to Correct its Mistakes; Biden Pledges “Extreme Competition” with Chinahttps://youtu.be/Y7gZ2DJz4mg‘Word on the street’ is that Xi Jinping wants to send his top foreign affairs official, Yang Jiechi to Washington to get the ball rolling for a Xi and Biden meeting. While the CCP deny this, it stands to reason that they’d want to get the pre-Trump status quo between China and U.S restored ASAP. Largely, the CCP needs the massive economic injection that an end to U.S. sanctions would mean. Even so, Beijing’s being careful to mask its desperation; opting instead for its trademark ‘let’s play hardb...2021-02-1014 min
Wide Angle with Brendon FallonIs WHO ‘Wuhan Lab’ Visit an Investigation or a Political Stunt? | Wide Angle with Brendonhttps://youtu.be/9ynYjfzpxEoThe Wuhan Institute of Virology (or Wuhan lab) came to be known, ironically, as the highest-profile scientific institution in the world last year. This is because it’s the suspected source of the Coronavirus. While that suspicion remains to be proved, a team of experts from the World Health Organization visited the Institute yesterday to supposedly investigate its connection to the virus’ beginnings. However, by all signs and symptoms this visit appears to be little more than another CCP political campaign. The first give away was that WHO team was first taken to the “...2021-02-0517 min
Wide Angle with Brendon FallonTrump censored by Big Tech, locked and banned; Did they really "Storm" the Capitol?Tonight we’re going to take a closer look at the dramatic and violent events which unfolded yesterday during the joint session of congress, where lawmakers met to certify electoral college votes. We look at how certain reports coming from the ground differ widely from the mainstream media’s narrative of exclusive Trump-supporter led violence. We also explore President Trump’s response to this and the radical position of the Big tech companies in censoring him. Yesterday, the United States reported a new single-day coronavirus death toll peak of 3,963. The CDC is meanwhile predicting a staggering number of coronavirus deaths b...2021-01-0809 min
