American Thinker Takeaways, October 19, 2025

Today’s topics are what Obamacare has done to ERs, the drop in fuel prices, WaPo journalists who dare not speak “their” truth, what Google AI is alleged to have done to Robby Starbuck, and the fall of John Cleese, the avatar for all bad things from the “intellectual” left.

Today’s topics are the leftist obsession with animal costumes (and what Biblical proscription I think it violates); the antisemitic madness in England and the general problem of unlimited, mostly Islamic, immigration to Europe, the Pope’s obsession with immigrants over his own flock; and, lastly, Zohran Mandami’s open embrace of the same pro-Islamic ideas that Barack Obama and his supporters are believed still to be hiding.

This episode looks at the peace plan in Gaza, Kamala Harris’s ignorance (whether willful or natural), dhimmitude in America’s prison system, the slaughter of Christians in Africa, the Blue state and city insurrection when it comes to illegal immigration, Jack Smith’s serious misstatements about national security law, and the return to gender sanity.

Sizing up the proposed Trump peace plan to end the fighting between Israel and Hamas.

The West's neo-paganism is worse than the original.

In this, the last podcast of 2024, I consider my movement to “ReclaimTheRainbow” for everyone, not just the LGBTQ+ crowd; the Biden military’s crazed focus on gender and climate change rather than national defense;* Islamified Europe; and the necessity of Biden’s presidency, along with my hope for the New Year.   *This is the Naval War College video underlying my look at Biden’s military: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEBdWjN9V_E

A look at the eight factors that make American healthcare so expensive—and why socializing our medical care will not make things better.

This video-podcast covers why it was a good thing Biden was elected (yes, I really said that), how Biden corrupted the constitutional pardon power, the difference between conservative and leftist populism, and why I think that Trump is America’s Churchill.

·      Jack Smith’s apparent retreat from the DOJ lawsuits against Trump, a tactic that is actually as slimy as the lawsuits themselves ·      The FEMA worker who was fired for instructing people to ignore Trump supporters’ homes, and the situation isn’t as obvious as you think. ·      The pathetic nature of today’s performers, which explains why it cost Kamala so much to bring them to her rallies (with a cameo from poor Britney Spears) ·      The overall cult-like nature of today’s leftism ·      A horrible development for women and girls in Iraq, something I lay squarely at Obama’s feet—along with a short rumination about how bad Democrats are for women generally ·      The New York Times’s despicable anti-Israel animus ·      A mass murder in China and what it says about guns and government

American Thinker's managing editor, Andrea Widburg, talks about: An important point about Civil Rights that too few Democrats understand. How the election spelled the end of the pernicious intersectionality that has dominated Democrat politics since the Obama era. The leftist overreach that spelled the Democrats’ doom. The Trump dividends that are already paying off in foreign policy, even though he hasn’t even been inaugurated. The American people’s verdict should mark (and seemingly already is marking) the end of the lawfare against Trump. Fear and loathing at the FBI’s headquarters now that there’s a new Trumpian sheriff in town. The jihad playing out in Amsterdam. Why Hollywood stars—and, maybe, some politicians—should are, or should be, running scared...or just running. The sad, funny story of the leftist who utterly fails to connect her political values to the frightening world that she inhabits.
