I have been operating GoldendaleMatters.com and TheTorchReport.com simultaneously for months now. What started out as the Good Morning Goldendale podcast has grown into a national audience that reaches all four corners of the country. The growth has been exciting and I am grateful for the support and encouragement from the local community!
It takes a lot of time and effort to keep both sites current and up a...

I find it absolutely fascinating that the Chinese have now approved HIV medication to fight the coronavirus.
Early in my research I recall learning about how mRNA vaccines could potentially destroy the body's natural immune response. The scientific community debated about warning vaccine recipients of this risk as a ...
Laughing at myself and looking at the world through the eyes of an ignorant peasant.
Recent polling indicates that almost 98 MILLION people still believe that Joe Biden is doing a great job!
(For the math lovers, that's 37.5% of the ~290 million adults in the country.)
I'd like to laugh at these morons, but first I need to laugh at myself.
Let me tell you story:
I have a book on my shelf titled The Dict...
Connecting the dots between Central Bank Digital Coins, Global Digital Currency, and the violent riots that are erupting all around the globe.
As the global socialists continue trying to take over the world, they often tip their cards. Though they may boast Ivory League credentials, they are not as smart as they think they are. Their arrogance is based on their ignora...
What do Homeland Security, the Climate Crisis, Hillary Clinton, and global vaccinations all have in common?
Some of the recent comments made by officials from the Biden administration are so outrageous, it seems impossible that those officials actually believe what they are saying or that they could say it with a straight face. Consider these whoppers:
Dodging some dicey conspiracies to expose the disturbing truth about what's really going on.
Two of the critical components in this global takeover are weaponized surveillance and censorship enhanced by artificial intelligence. While the threat of an invisible enemy induces panic and short-circuits critically thinking, the supposed climate crisis provides supreme justification for selfless preening and  ...
Some wise individual once said, "Life is about 10% of what happens to you, and 90% what you do about it." It's a timeless adage that cuts straight to the heart of daily living. In any given moment, anything can happen. Unexpected things crop up all the time, often in the least convenient moments, and things very seldom work out exactly as we have planned. But, they always work out, one way or another.

Exploring the circumstances that shape wildly different political perspectives and how this is impacting our current political discourse.
A Philosophical Exposition on Political Circumstance
There is a particularly interesting dichotomy in political perspectives that falls along the line between rural small town living and the hustle and bustle of big city metropolitan life. I'm sure that this is obvio...
How our benevolent masters are using global surveillance to take control of humanity.
I know "we shouldn't read into this too much" is a common refrain, but just this once, let's make an exception. While the world is distracted with dog 'n' pony shows, kangaroo courts and massive riots all around the world, what is the scheming global cabal actually up to? Let's take a lo...
Sorry there wasn’t more of a build up for that emotional outburst. I realize that's not new news for most of you—but what if I were to tell you that the degree and depth of electoral corruption exceeded your wildest imagination? What if I told you that Communists have been running on the Democrat ticket, stealing elections, and "fundamentally transforming"  ...
Recent public announcements stir grave concern that a nuclear war may be imminent.
Yesterday NYC issued a Public Service Announcement telling New Yorkers what to do in the case of a nuclear attack. While stating there was no specific reason for concern, they offer these comforting words: “As the threat landscape continues to evolve, it is important that New Yorkers know we are preparin...
How politicians are preying upon the unsuspecting masses using tactics straight out of the Communist Manifesto.
"Seeing the failures and fault lines in the cruel light of day cast by the corona crisis may compel us to act faster by replacing failed ideas, institutions, processes and rules with new ones better suited to current and future needs. This is the essence o...
Taking a positive approach to serious issues in our globally connected world.
As you know, that statement can be interpreted many different ways. As in, we are not alone in the universe, we are not alone in faith, we are not alone in how we feel, we are not alone in our political concerns, or we are not alone in the world. Obviously context matters, so today, when I say "we a...
There is something critically important happening behind the scenes in Camp Biden. It will absolutely affect every American, and most will never have seen it coming. It's not going to be fun and We The People are going to feel the pain. It's all part of this "incredible transition" —but before we get into the serious, let's start with the strange:
It's coming. The next wave is on the way. It won't be long before COVID strikes again!
Of course, there aren't a lot of people talking about that just yet. Not many people realize that the number of daily cases is now over 5X higher than the exact same time last year, or that the average number of deaths per day has jumped from 197 to 312 in the last twelve months.
Another way to loo...
Society has been conditioned to believe that violence is never the answer, but history and nature tell a different story.
Yesterday was Independence Day, and I started writing an article about why freedom is important. Building off a recent poll that shows 2 out of 3 people do not know why Americans declared their independence from the crown, I became frustrated by the insanity of having to even address the ...
I kid you not, liberals are now blasting Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as "Black White Supremacist". The lunacy at this point is nearly unfathomable. But, as hilarious as it seems, this level of psychosis is really no laughing matter. While it's tempting to dismiss such ridiculous assertions as petty annoyance, the bigger issue is that people actually believe it—and that's a HUGE problem.
Keep ...
When a significant portion of society collectively rejects reality, what happens? I'm speaking of the famed "mass formation psychosis" that seems to have gripped the masses. Plenty of people see it--in fact, most of the people I talk to agree that something strange is going on.
Any honest...
Whenever we're faced with a decision that offers multiple options and various ways to move forward, it's always wise to take the time to weigh out the pros and cons of different potentialities. (I just like that word, BTW)
Other times we need to just flip a coin and take action.
But, when it comes to evaluating different perspectives and news sources, the preferred ...

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
