Four years ago, I woke from a spell that I had been under since childhood.  After decades of torment, I recognized my mother for what she truly was: a personality-disordered abuser.  She wasn't the victim she had always claimed to be.  Then I saw the same behavior and abuse tactics being adopted and applauded by the social justice left.

HOMESTYLE RAW: Episode 218, April 13, 2025

A 17-year-old white kid is stabbed to death, and his father rushes to show compassion for the killer. In what universe does that make sense? In this one. We break down the murder of Austin Metcalf and the psychotic cultural reflex that demands white people perform sympathy for their own destruction. Then we go to Colorado, where the state is writing laws that will let your ex cut your son’s genitals off — and punish you for saying his name. If you think that sounds like exaggeration, you’re exactly who this episode is for.
