In this episode of Burn Notice, we break down the story most folks don’t know—the real reason MacKenzie Scott is dropping life-changing money on HBCUs. Napalm and I connect the dots: Toni Morrison mentored MacKenzie when she was a student at Princeton, even writing the recommendation that led to the hedge-fund job where she met Jeff Bezos. Without that Black woman pouring into her, MacKenzie’s entire life trajectory changes. So her...

On this episode of Burn Notice, we shift from politics to the culture. Napalm and Firestarter talk about MacKenzie Scott—a billionaire actually putting her money where her mouth is and dropping millions on HBCUs with no strings attached. But we ask the bigger question: why do the same “elite” HBCUs always get the shine while the smaller schools struggle to survive? We dig into elitism, endowments, and whether the Black community ha...

On this episode of Burn Notice, we break down how the shutdown fight collapsed right before Black Friday—just like I said it would. Democrats had the GOP on the ropes, momentum was building, and instead of finishing the job, they caved for a “promise of a future vote.” A promise. Meanwhile, people are struggling with SNAP benefits, premiums are shooting up, and leadership keeps worrying about optics instead of outcomes. We talk pow...

This week on Burn Notice, I kick things off with the legend himself—Napalm. Not the K-Pop fashion hashtag, but the real scorched-earth, Vietnam-level napalm. We get into why the establishment is terrified of candidates who aren’t owned—like Zohran Mamdani in New York, running on affordability and actually threatening to make 💩 work. We talk about APAC money, politicians bought like vending-machine snacks, and why both parties feed...

In this episode of Burn Notice, Controlled Burn shorts, I connect the dots on QRF—Quick Response Forces—and why 25,000 “election monitors” in uniform should set off alarms. We talk about Dominion getting snapped up by a Trump ally, computerized vote-flipping fears, and the real endgame: normalizing the military at the ballot box. Then I flip it comic-book style—why some players are pure Joker (they just want the fire), while Trump ...

In this episode of Burn Notice, Controlled Burn shorts, we break down that not-so-holy “church hug” between JD Vance and Charlie Kirk’s widow—and what it really means for the next phase of MAGA politics. Beneath the awkward embrace lies ambition: Vance plotting his move to inherit the Trump empire, setting up a dynasty built on grift, crypto, and chaos. Firestarter calls out how this isn’t random—it’s strategy, grooming the next po...

In this episode of Burn Notice, Controlled Burn shorts, we’re done sugarcoating. The SNAP shutdown is real, and while they tell poor folks to “tighten up,” billionaires keep cashing out. We talk about Kemp, cold-hearted surplus hoarding, and why rising tides don’t fit you if you don’t have a damn boat. We break down how this isn’t about budgeting—it’s about punishing the poor while banks and defense contractors eat well. This is a ...

In this episode of Burn Notice (Controlled Burn Mini-sodes), we dive into Marjorie “She-Hawk” Taylor Greene’s sudden dose of sanity—or strategy. I talk about meeting her in D.C. and how her recent “clarity” is less awakening and more survival instinct. We connect her pivot to the looming Epstein files, the billionaire boys’ club, and the quiet money trails running through Trump’s new Ponzi politics. From Epstein Island to Bitcoin p...

This episode of Controlled Burn is us lighting the match again. We’re talking straight—no filters, no fake diplomacy. America’s burning, and we’re just calling it what it is: a controlled burn that’s finally reaching the folks who thought they’d never feel the heat.

We talk about how Trump and his movement played poor white America—got them blaming Black and brown people while the rich keep stacking the deck. Now those same folks ar...
