Firing Lane ·

2026/01/25

In this episode, we cover the Florida Governor’s race candidates and Croaky gives his “mostly” unbiased perspective on the race. Overall, Florida isn’t a group chat. It’s 22 million lives—storms, insurance costs, property taxes, and families who never go to donor dinners. Stop grading candidates on “vibes” and start grading them on governability: executive competence, real records, and measurable delivery.

In this sharp analysis of the escalating Venezuela crisis, Croaky predicted it would be a pressure campaign, not a full invasion, focusing on strategic signaling and U.S. buildup in Puerto Rico.

History doesn’t repeat — it just logs back in.When Tucker Carlson hosted Nick Fuentes, it wasn’t journalism. It was marketing. Antisemitism has become the new clickbait — the oldest hatred rebranded for the algorithm. From Pharaoh to Twitter, every civilization that runs out of ideas finds a Jew to blame. And now, thanks to social media, that hatred isn’t whispered in the alley; it’s monetized in HD. Conservatism’s task isn’t to tolerate “controversial ideas.” It’s to draw the line where
