Sasha, your voice and delivery makes a world of difference. You have a true gift, something that no one else has, something that elevates your podcasts incredibly, something inspirational. To you, maybe recording is an extra, optional step in the production process that requires more time and effort after the writing is done. But on the listening end, that’s where the magic happens. There is some spark, and catharsis. The result resonates on a profound level. Thank you so much.
100%. I could listen to Sasha all day. Something goes straight to my heart. I too have the curse of too much empathy. It’s a different way of going through life.
You are a humane person! But learn from history. Never canonize a living politician, ever. You'll end up finding out how idealizing you were and how you ignored so many things before voting.
Check his wife's deep state connections. She's a cousin of Vivek RamaSWAMPy. That can't be a coincidence:
1. Create an easy system for real money: private currencies/warrants based on real assets, goods, services, etc. (gold, corn, oil, distance/volume/weight transportation, labor human hour/minute, etc.)
2. Ban legal tender. Let the free markets decide which real-currencies/valuables/warrants they prefer to trade with
3. Ban paper-backed currencies (unlike real-backed ones of point 1.)
4. Enforce a Legal Banking Reserve of 100% of deposits (so banks don't create money based on air) and therefore there's no excuse for a Central Bank, because there would be no risk of bank-runs since all their loans are fully backed with deposits
President John Quincy Adams: “Masonry ought forever to be abolished. It is wrong - essentially wrong - a seed of evil, which can never produce any good.”
If you are a mason or know a mason, ask him to ask his 33° master to put in writing and sign it, who is "the great architect" and that he is not Lucifer. If he refuses, then he’ll know who he is really serving, Satan: tell him to get out of masonry NOW. Sooner or later he’ll be required to trample on a cross to get to a higher degree.
Almost all anti-viral vaccines and all COVID vaccines were abortion-linked (using cell lines from aborted babies, i.e. butchered-alive delivered babies). Abortion is one type of ritual murder: Satan’s most wanted human sacrifice. Abortion-laced vaccines have the same effect of hexxed food: sharing in the Satanic chalice of blood, just the same as when they drink the blood of their children/virgin/human victims in their ritual murders.

Sir, just a simple suggestion open your own platform up and post such things upon your own platform. When one shows such overwhelming examples, it tells the world of your own insecurities.
I’m not going to get into a back-and-forth with you. I will say this if you feel so strongly why not post this on your own Substack account. As I stated before. And I’m not sure what the need was to post so many articles of which only to convince others If one is strong in their convictions, they just need to state so in my opinion without inundation
Hi, Julie. I'd have given you a ♥️ on your first comment, but it wasn't working on my phone a moment ago.
I share your dismay about conspiracy hypotheses. There probably are exceptions, but it seems to me that for conspiracy junkies, everything invariably goes back to the Jews. I'm 72, and have been hearing that sort of dreary lunacy all of my life.
What you want a is echo chamber thought machine because actually having thought means disagreeing and debating and most people want that as much as a Hindu wanting a beef burger.
I really enjoyed your thoughts! True insight for a man you is a survivor, and for those who criticize it is their loss of truly not being able to have empathy.
It breaks my heart to hear you say that it's too late. Please let it not be so. Maybe it's late for the life you left behind, but I can't help but believe something new and wonderful is opening up before you. Many of us love you in our own way, embrace it if you can.
Your first to paragraphs in this piece are supremely done. They’re fiercely gutsy and yet beautifully nuanced and gentle about a problem many understand and live with, after living through it. The stories of I could share about my petit 100lb Mother inflicting real torture upon my little body, the psychological torment was relentless when she was drunk. Drunk, she was…
a completely different person and an extremely vituperative one at that.
Worse than visiting a friend's house and longing for that “normalcy” you eloquently labeled, was having somebody over and she’d suddenly be drunk. The change took minutes after the first ingestion of alcohol.
I’m lucky enough to do meaningful work, teaching music and connecting with people of all ages in a very deep way, but it still doesn’t compare with being a mother and a grandmother.
I love the story of JD Vance!! I love that he’s an “every man”….a normal, hard working individual who fought thru adversity to come out the other side wiser & stronger!! He will make a great VP & an even better President after President Trump’s tutelage.
The last thought should be of prime importance. They’re not running against kamala, they’re running against the party of leftist socialist ideologies. The party of amoral anti religion, the party of control freaks who are planning for the next lockdown. We must stop the left from running us off a cliff. We must stop, back up and make a right turn and then proceed.
Vance has many admirable traits and he’s very intelligent and talented as a writer. And for sure, surviving and thriving as he has is the mark of true character. He got everything he has by mental discipline, toughness and a drive to not just survive, but live well and productively.
All I’ve written I actually do believe. I’m not pandering. I admire the man very much. And coming from working class, first generation American parents, I was raised to respect working class people over the elites, whom my parents never trusted. Why? because we’re Jews. Yes, that’s right, there are working class and poor Jews, millions of us. Not George Soros type Jews, but Jews who worked in factories and sweat shops and died young. My grandparents did not own a single silver spoon.
My disappointment with Mr. Vance is that he said a really stupid thing, one that I put in the same category as Hillary’s “deplorables” comment. He lumped together a whole group of people, demeaned them, and stereotyped them. It’s the ugliest form of identity politics, and identity politics is ugly in every possible way. Whether we’re exalting a group or insulting them, it’s the same. It has condescension in it, and it’s impossible to walk that back.
I listened carefully to Vance’s explanation during his interview with Megyn Kelly, and I understood what he was driving at. People who don’t have kids have less stake in the future, he said, and politicians who don’t have kids are more cavalier in their policies, more selfish. Then he lists the Democrat women who don’t have kids. No mention of the men, just the women. Vance couldn’t make it through the entire explanation without stereotyping women. He took an explanation that had some interesting and real reasoning in it, and sabotaged himself a second time.
Pets are like children for many people. I have a friend who keeps 11 cats in her house. She volunteers at a cat rescue shelter. She saves kittens on the street. She cleans the litter boxes at the shelter every weekend, feeds the strays and holds yearly fundraisers to support the vets who volunteer to care for these creatures. But she also has an PhD in a tech field and a full professorship at a university where she teaches working class people a very valuable, lucrative skill.
Vance’s glib dismissal of Cat Ladies is a show of insensitivity and reductive stereotyping that makes him sound shallow and mean spirited. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
If you want to reach the voters, which I assume is his ultimate aspiration, he needs to think before he speaks, hone his message, and remember that everyone listening is a potential supporter or the opposite.
Hillary was defeated by her hubris and elitism. Trump beat her because he demonstrated concern for the forgotten working class people whom she incorrectly judges as racists and heathens. I’m so glad she lost.
Vance did the same thing, in a very snide way. Maybe it was off the cuff, I don’t know. But if he wanted to alienate women who are on the fence politically, he succeeded.
Exhaustive yet well worded comments with many good points.
My wee 2 cents opinion:
As a childless woman who married later in life (40 something) living with 3 rescued wonderful kitties and while I have an over abundance of empathy ( I rescue spiders) I’ll readily admit my husband has even more empathy than I do; that said, I didn’t take any offense at JD Vance’s comment. I listened to all the interviews (where it was said and the follow-up interview explanations) I think Vance was was trying to make a comment against the virulent anti-child sentiments running currently through the far Left, his comments were inelegant and artless. But I didn’t take any offense from it. Neither did other childless friends of mine. One is a definite dog person.
Hillary’s “basket of deplorables” comment was made as a running candidate or as the Democratic presumptive nominee (can’t remember, not bothered to look) whereas JD’s “childless cat lady” comment was made before he was chosen as the vice presidential nominee. Does it matter? Maybe. A little grace here would go a long way though.
My paternal grandfather had a pushcart in Brooklyn and my maternal grandfather drove a cab, which he eventually owned.
My father was a mechanic then a fisherman with party boats on Long Island, where I grew up.
My mother quit college to get marred at 18.
I feel very much working class, despite the fact that I am a faculty member, Music at a two year college.
I worked the deck in the summers and waitressed, among other things.
JDV said a thing, as Sasha pointed out.
I appreciate your point, but we really do have to look at people in positions of power for what they do, policies they support and will make, as opposed to what they say, imo.
I am a woman. I have a cat.
When I was younger, I would have been offended, but I’m not now.
For the most part, I agree with you that it's what politicians do, as opposed to what they say, that ultimately matters. When a politician is relatively new, what they say is all we have to go by. But Vance already campaigned. He's a Senator, an important office. I expected more from him, because he's also a lawyer and a gifted author who understands the power of words. He didn't get off to a good start with me, for the reasons I stated.
Like Sasha, I'm disgusted with what the Democrat party has become, and after 50 years I will no longer vote for them. So I'm open. Time will tell.
But they AREN’T children. They can be important for us—too important, in fact.
Vance shouldn’t have said it. But just because people FEEL something doesn’t make it a moral norm. Kids matter more than our culture understands or cares in practice. That’s the point.
Your comment is written exceptionally well and makes excellent points that many of us, especially me, benefit from being reminded of. Eg. Many Jews came from or are currently working class and we should avoid stereotypes, many childless adults care deeply about children and their future, think thoughtfully before speaking.
Thank-you for sharing your wisdom and I am glad you didn’t “mind your own beeswax”.
My flaw as a writer is that I can be long-winded. I came back here just now to edit my post because I thought nobody would want to read the whole thing since it’s pretty long. But now that I’ve read your response, I’ll leave it alone. Thank you very much for affirming that I got my message across.
Vance did not say this during the campaign. This was lifted from a conversation many years ago. Intelligent people tend to have conversations like this .. thought experiments, Devil's Advocacy, etc .. that would never make into practice if they were ever put into a position to do so. The equivalent of college dorm talk.
“Then he lists the Democrat women who don’t have kids. No mention of the men, just the women. Vance couldn’t make it through the entire explanation without stereotyping women. He took an explanation that had some interesting and real reasoning in it, and sabotaged himself a second time.”
When he made the original comment, I know he mentioned Pete Buttigieg. Now Buttigieg has kids.
J.D. Vance is a great pick. He served in the Marines. Josh Shaprio was quoted as saying that he served in the IDF (according to Wikipedia). It's strange that a VP can serve in a foreign army and not get questioned about it as long as that army is Israel. Some might look in today's Wikipedia and say, "what are you talking about, there's nothing there." I'd say that is true as of today but a month ago there was an entry on Wikipedia in which he said he was proud of his service for the IDF and it was cited from a Philadelphia Inquirer article from 1994. Unfortunately in today's totalitarian media information that might hurt the favored team is immediately removed. Shapiro was very young when he worked for the IDF and probably had no intention of running on a presidential team. It's unfortunate though that most of the news the mainstream media doesn't want you to read so often comes out on X. Sometimes it gets traction (the secret service incompetence) and sometimes it doesn't. If I were Israeli, I'd prefer Shapiro but since I'm American I'll stick with the Marine.
I agree with Kurt!!! Listening to you, Sasha connects me to something I can’t quite put words to. Thank you!! I sooo appreciate your content, your voice and introspection. It gives me pause and has me reflect as well. You’re my great friend I’ve never met (in person). I wish you all the best!
Sasha, your voice and delivery makes a world of difference. You have a true gift, something that no one else has, something that elevates your podcasts incredibly, something inspirational.

Sir, just a simple suggestion open your own platform up and post such things upon your own platform. When one shows such overwhelming examples, it tells the world of your own insecurities.
Examples demonstrate insecurities??? So then... does evidence of criminal acts demonstrate innocence???
It seems the only insecurities exposed here are those of someone who is upset when her comfortable beliefs are challenged!!!
Perhaps you should actually read some of Professor Nazar's examples???
What’s up with the personal attacks?
I’m not going to get into a back-and-forth with you. I will say this if you feel so strongly why not post this on your own Substack account. As I stated before.

Sasha,
I needed to take a moment and comment.
Your first to paragraphs in this piece are supremely done. They’re fiercely gutsy and yet beautifully nuanced and gentle about a problem many understand and live with, after living through it.

You learn, you survive, you adapt.
The weed analogy is also perfect.
The agony of survival !
Hey Chris, I go to Al-Anon meetings weekly and find them helpful.
This was even more powerful spoken, Sasha.
I have two adult sons and four grandchildren.
I’m lucky enough to do meaningful work, teaching music and connecting with people of all ages in a very deep way, but it still doesn’t compare with being a mother and a grandmother.
Very, very good stuff!!! Trump is not running against another candidate... he's running against the Fascist System!!!
I love the story of JD Vance!! I love that he’s an “every man”….a normal, hard working individual who fought thru adversity to come out the other side wiser & stronger!! He will make a great VP & an even better President after President Trump’s tutelage.
