The Problem With...

In the explosive finale of The Fame Defense series, we take on the 2008 financial crash — the biggest economic collapse in modern history — and follow the money, the power, and the fallout. While everyday Americans lost their homes, jobs, and life savings, the elite walked away wealthier, protected by bailouts and political cover. No jail time. No shame. Just business as usual.

But the story doesn’t stop there.

Because out of that ch...

You’ve heard it before on the news, at school board meetings, in Facebook comments:
"Kids today don’t know how to do anything."

In this Wednesday opinion episode of The Problem With…, I’m breaking down one of the most dangerous lies in American politics: that only “bad immigrants” get deported. Spoiler alert they don’t.

I share a conversation that pushed me over the edge, unpack the racist language that fuels these myths, and back it all up with cold, hard data. Immigrants, both legal and undocumented, commit fewer crimes than native-born citizens. But you w...

In the first episode of our three-part series on white-collar crime, we tackle the staggering case of Brett Favre , NFL legend turned welfare scandal figure. Favre didn’t just fumble a few headlines; he leveraged his fame and political connections to help funnel millions of dollars from Mississippi’s welfare fund, money meant for the poorest families in the poorest state in America.

We explore how a quarterback with everything still...

In this episode of The Problem With..., we delve into the ongoing controversy surrounding Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) in college sports. We explore the backlash from prominent coaches like Nick Saban and Dabo Swinney, examine Senator Tommy Tuberville's proposed federal regulations, and discuss the racial and power dynamics at play. As a military veteran who benefited from a free education, I reflect on the hypocrisy of denying ...

In this episode of The Problem With…, I take a deep dive into how patriotism in country music has evolved — and in some ways, how it's been weaponized.
