Grandpa Dan takes this opportunity to discuss a wide range of topics, some of which are actually relevant and some of which maybe not so much. There is much talk in the news of people being in danger of losing their jobs to artificial intelligence. However is this actually true? Exactly which jobs are in danger of being taken over by AI? It seems a…

Grandpa Dan once again does his best to forgo talking about the stupid election. Instead today’s discussion centers around what it means to be an adult and what it means to be a child. GPD has covered this in past shows but it’s more interesting than the election and your relationship with family is something you can actually change, unlike the dem…

In this Friday installment of The Daily Nationalist, Grandpa Dan discusses an interesting case from Israel. A family emigrated to Israel from Ukraine in 2014.

Grandpa Dan discusses the role of elders in a society. While intergenerational strife is common today, that is not the way things are supposed to be. Younger generations lack life experience and one of the valuable resources they should have is the availability of the knowledge of their elders. Yet what happens when the elders are absent? If the ol…

Grandpa Dan discusses some observations about human behavior. The stereotypical midwit will point out the obvious while apparently believing they’ve revealed something profound. While Americans are quick to point out any perceived faults with other nations, they seem to be willfully blind when it comes to the problems in their own. Your browser doe…

Grandpa Dan discusses the role of pornography and prostitution in this so called society. In America today, if a man pays a woman for sex, this is illegal and he can be arrested. At the same time, if a man pays a woman to have sex on camera this is totally legal. In fact, billions are spent per year on this very activity and strangely enough, the e…

Grandpa Dan takes a moment to point out the obvious absurdity of American elections. In a recent (again obvious) demonstration as to where priorities lie with American politicians, Senator Lindsey Graham took the occasion of tragedy in the state which he allegedly represents to stump for more support for Israel.

What if I don't like the way my daughte…

Just as there is no shortage of conflicts in the world, there is also no shortage of shills, propagandists and the just plain ignorant claiming that one side or another is winning or losing.
