Firing Lane

This Easter, Croaky examined the rise of people who disavow expertise while demanding its privileges. From Dave Smith quoting GDP figures like holy scripture to social media mobs declaring gang tattoos and border policy with zero firsthand knowledge, the episode dissects how faux humility has become armor for unchecked arrogance.

In a world where microphones are free but knowledge costs effort, we ask: What happens when loud replac...

Croaky and Tahgi plunge into the ghostly realm of the social contract—scrutinizing it from multiple angles, from Burke to Hegel to Stirner, and even Kant. Is society a rational agreement between individuals? A sacred covenant across generations? Or just a clever scam by professors and priests to domesticate your will?

In a no-holds-barred episode, Croaky deconstructs the absurdity of “I never signed the social contract” memes while...

In this episode of Firing Lane, Croaky tackles Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s latest descent into pseudoscientific absurdity — this time claiming autistic people his age “you never see,” branding them with invented terms like “full-blown autism,” and insisting they can’t write poetry or flush toilets.

Joined by guests with real-world experience — including autistic individuals, behavioral therapists, and parents — we break down the facts,...

In this episode, Croaky rips into the Florida Legislature’s full-blown meltdown over a Form 990 that wasn’t even due. You’ll hear:

🧾 The IRS calendar they forgot to read 🎭 The performance art of “accountability” from lawmakers who just gave themselves $57 million 🔍 Why journalist like Lawrence Mower are either catastrophically misinformed—or deliberately misleading 💸 Peter Schorsch’s pay-to-play swamp circus 🌿 How marijuana lo...

In this brutally honest Firing Lane episode, Croaky, Reese, and Tahgi rip the mask off the growing grift of pseudo-intellectuals weaponizing anti-Israel sentiment for clout, clicks, and controversy.

Croaky dissects the now-infamous Joe Rogan “debate” between Douglas Murray and Dave Smith, exposing it not as a debate—but as a live evisceration. With razor wit, we break down how Smith flounders behind emotional appeals, misquotes, an...

This isn’t just a defense of the Hope Florida Foundation. It’s a takedown of:

1. The false narrative that Centene “owed” $67 million as a legal penalty.

2. The misrepresentation of a $10 million donation as stolen taxpayer funds.

3. The incompetence and dishonesty of figures like Rep. Alex Andrade and Rep. Matt Gaetz.

4. The media complicity—particularly figures like Peter Schorsch and outlets like th...

This episode, Croaky and Bonk tear into the economic malpractice flooding your timeline. Trump’s proposed 50% tariffs? Fake math. Greek letters used to confuse the masses? We caught the trick. Economic populists cheering like it’s WrestleMania? We bring the receipts and a flamethrower.

If you’re tired of the economic illiteracy and cultish logic infecting the Right, this is your episode.

🔥 Tariffs aren’t patriotism. They’re just t...

In this episode of Firing Lane, Croaky Caiman takes aim at the critics trying to sabotage one of the most effective conservative reforms in modern politics—Hope Florida.

Launched by Casey DeSantis and championed by Senator Jay Collins, this initiative connects Floridians to faith-based and community support through real human beings—not bureaucracies. It’s a direct challenge to the failures of the Great Society—and it’s working.

Cr...

Vice President J.D. Vance claims a legally protected man was a convicted MS-13 member. Problem? The court says he wasn’t. His lawyer says he wasn’t. Even the government says he wasn’t. But Vance just keeps tweeting.

So who are we actually deporting?

Croaky the cartoon gator (who reads court documents, unlike some senators) breaks it all down in the latest Firing Lane.

🎙️ Firing Lane — Pre-Debate Primer Before stepping into the debate ring, Croaky lays down the philosophical groundwork:

• Why conservatism is not an ideology

• How ideologues—left or right—replace thought with slogans

• What Russell Kirk, Edmund Burke, and memory have to do with governing

• And why conservatism without morality is just cosplay populism

If conservatives abandon the intellectual and moral foundation, some...

Debating the Right: Croaky and Simon Clash Over the Soul of Conservatism In this heated and unapologetically nerdy episode of Firing Lane, Croaky goes head-to-head with Simon Laird in a battle over the soul of the right. Is Trumpism the new conservative movement, or is it a populist detour from Russell Kirk’s moral order? From the roots of fusionism and the specter of the John Birch Society to whether pardoning anarcho-libertarian ...

On Firing Lane, Croaky & Tahgi dive into why real conservatism isn't just opposing the left — it’s built on enduring truths.

We unpack Russell Kirk’s 10 Conservative Principles, mock bumper-sticker politics, and ask: 🔹 Can atheists be conservative? 🔹 Why do modern movements fear tradition? 🔹 Is morality optional, or foundational?

Populists shout. Technocrats spreadsheet. We build — on custom, continuity, and conviction.

The bombs fell on Yemen. The war plan leaked… via group text. And The Atlantic’s editor was accidentally added to the chat.

Yes, really.

This episode of Firing Lane, Croaky Caiman tears into the national-security equivalent of sending nukes via Snap. We expose the recklessness, the legal failures, and the populist cosplay of governance that would make even Hillary’s email server blush.

In this episode of Firing Lane, we take on the 2025 tariffs and the growing uncertainty they’ve created in the U.S. economy. As trade wars intensify, we ask the tough questions: Are these tariffs really protecting American industries, or are they just fueling higher prices for consumers and making the global market more volatile? We dive deep into the political and economic consequences of targeting allies like Canada, and why this...
