Your Neighbor on the Left Podcast

Tulsi Gabbard’s dropped a political bombshell, accusing Barack Obama of a “treasonous conspiracy” to sabotage Trump’s 2016 win with fake Russian interference claims.

This episode of Back Porch Files unravels Gabbard's gambit, Trump’s Obama obsession, and exposes the irony of his own Supreme Court immunity shield—this one is a no-holds-barred look at a conspiracy that’s more fizzle than sizzle.

In this week’s episode of Your Neighbor on the Left, we examine the slow, deliberate erosion of freedom of the press under Trump’s second term. From DOJ surveillance of journalists and the difference between media bias and outright fabrication, to social media bot swarms and the Fox News propaganda pipeline, this episode peels back the layers of a democracy under stress. It’s not about paranoia—it’s about patterns. And they’re getting harder to ignore. Also, "Obama did it!(again), measles surge, and "Woke" Superman.

From local diner arguments to national debates, we’ll explore why liberals are jittery about censorship, conservatives are rallying for unrestricted speech...sort of, and how both sides grapple with truth in a post-truth world.

What does a cage-fight on the White House lawn and a 920-page plan to dismantle American democracy have in common? You’d be surprised. In this episode of Neighbor on the Left, we dive into the surreal double feature of Trump’s America: one plan distracts with bloodsport and bravado, while the other quietly rewires the federal government from the inside out. One is absurd, tacky, and televised. The other is calculated, dangerous, and already underway. It’s a tale of two plans — and while everyone’s getting ready to watch the cage match, the real fight is happening behind closed doors.

Was America really founded as a "Christian Nation"? In this episode of Neighbor on the Left, we take a wrecking ball to one of the right’s most persistent myths. We dig into what the Founding Fathers actually believed, what they actually wrote, and why they went out of their way to keep religion out of government. We expose the deliberate distortions pushed by Christian Nationalists — from rewriting history to twisting scripture — and highlight how their agenda clashes not just with the Constitution, but with the teachings of Christ himself. Plus: the real danger to Christians when faith gets tangled in politics. Plus, quick looks at Zohran Mamdani, JD Vance, “Dark Woke,” and more.

Trump’s back, the truth is out, and he’s pretending it never existed. On Inauguration Day 2025, Trump didn’t just set the tone—he set a record for fabrications. Over 20 documented falsehoods, and the next 150 or so days have included much of the same.  In this bonus episode, we dive into the flood of lies that continued the moment he took the oath—fake crime waves, phantom policies, fantasy economics, and the war he said he'd fix day one.  All that, and a look at how the MAGA crowd keeps nodding along like it’s gospel.
