Uncertain ThingsICE, Klein, Coates (w/ Nancy Rommelmann)Writer, reporter, Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em co-host, and pie baker extraordinaire Nancy Rommelmann returns to Uncertain Things to talk (again) about a topic she knows all too well: Portland. In 2021, she lambasted the way the media was distorting what was happening on the ground by underplaying the violence.

We get into ICE’s antics, Portland’s response (so far), and the “heroes” making headlines. Then we switch tacts to share our thoughts on the (much dis...

They cover why Gen Z might be our saving grace, the return to real-world connections (cooking, gardening, live events, dinner parties) as an antidote to digital decay, why they still believe in Americans, why Gen X is the only generation still partying, and why you should always use the good...

He used to revel in journalism's culture: caustic, independent, collaborative, and adversarial to those in power. Now, the former Rolling Stone writer and author of Hate Inc. sees little to love in the toxic, "credentialist" media world.

Kibbe on LibertyEp 114 | Why Portland Exploded | Guest: Nancy RommelmannMatt Kibbe talks with journalist Nancy Rommelmann about her experiences covering Antifa and the riots in Portland, Oregon. From a beautiful cultural center, the city has devolved into violence and chaos over a few short years. Frustration with lockdowns, anger at injustice, hatred of Donald Trump, and the complete absence of any tools to make things better have led to young people being romanced by a nihilistic desire to tear down the whole system, including commerce, police, and even the city government itself.

While just as ludicrous as his earlier financial crimes, his political schemes seem to lack conviction–both in the sense that he no longer seems invested in sustaining charades longer than it takes to create chaos and because he isn't held responsible for them.Special thanks to Nancy Rommelmann for a delightful interview.
