Mike Elis takes a deep dive into the truth behind Santa Claus and the myths that surround him, shedding light on the complexities of belief and faith. The world today is so divided on the concept of what’s real, what’s imagined, and what’s passed down through generations—yet somehow, there’s always a middle ground. Our children, with their innocent curiosity and boundless imagination, light a torch for us, offering hope and wonder in a world that so often feels hopeless. In turn, we try to light a torch for them, guiding them through the darkness of uncertainty and doubt.
But here's the tragedy: despite our best intentions, we often fail to carry that torch with the clarity and wisdom they need. Instead of guiding them, we sometimes mislead them with false ideals, shallow comforts, and hollow promises. In the end, it’s all for some holier-than-thou, self-righteous narrative we cling to—an illusion we uphold at the cost of genuine connection and understanding. The myth of Santa Claus becomes less about magic and more about the systems we’ve built around belief itself, systems that promise wonder but often leave us more divided, more cynical, and more unsure of what’s real.
Yet, there’s still that glimmer of hope. Even in the face of our failings, children continue to light the way for us, reminding us of what it means to believe—truly believe—in something bigger than ourselves. They still see the magic, and maybe, just maybe, that's something we can all rediscover, if we're willing to open our eyes and hearts to it.

With the “belief” we have fair law do we? Aside from the belief of criminals being charged differently based on color or creed lets look at based on political leanings… With Trump under the scope by the DOJ, and FBI has it been fair? 1st fact is this is a different DOJ then the one that investigated Hillary but they are the same. The fact that the POTUS nominates leadership in these organizations is a true failing of separation powers and duty. Can it be fair? Is it fair? Does it matter? What is the political future of un-balanced government look like?

1954: Bloody Red Wine 👁🗨
The American bored with Mexico is not the only problem but it is a major problem and with typical American idols or politics we are stuck with wants to “lie” to you and say they care they don’t… this lie of the border(s) is driven by a war of attrition and not a legal area.

A Rebellion in Education 👁🗨
With the concern ever growing of school safety and our youth how can we solve it? Is banning guns the answer not really… Instead maybe overhauling how we teach our kids and how the structure of the facilities known as schools are. I think making the schools smaller and allowing a more dynamic control of the process from beginning to end should be applied. Some times applying a little pain in the sense of more work for us is worth the squeeze. Join me in this weeks episode as we look at making schools safe(r)…

One Winged Angel 👁🗨
Accountably or looking to what accounts for things? America is dying bread we gave up on loving the dream and helping thy neighbor we gave up on looking after each other we gave up on hoping for the good in people. Is there good? Prove it! With families being broken from every direction how do we heal how do we solve the drugs, the murders, the driving fatalities so much to solve and all of our answers are looking at the answer of the situation the dead bodies the broken families and we throw money at the problem in hops of fixing the problem that now occurred but ignoring the origins story of the problem. Rarely is it ever a first time and magically we have a casualty we almost always have pattern we choose to ignore or refuse to answer… is it money power or fear?

Then Error: Try Again!
With the social climate of warriors on the rise and the inability and willingness to communicate or even attempt to communicate being a lost art so to speak who’s to blame? Ill cary my blame for being a stubborn youth but I will not carry the blame for my evolution as a person and as a man or hell even as an American. When the virtue signaling and the well I have come elevated arguments come in to play one must wonder is the person really elevated or standing on the backs of the youth? Can they look at the person they had been and be respected or would both be disgusted of the journey in life? Im not better than any one except for you! Lets talk about who the YOU is and why it hurts to actually believe and know this statement to be true!

Hung Like a Jury
Congress’’s inaction is action both sides dangle “laws” but refuse to:
Talk about them
Debate them
Show us them
Take in to consideration 2nd and 3rd order effects
Look at long term implications
Look at the constitutionality of the law
The Supreme Court does not:
Write laws
Edit laws
Amend the constitution
Represent the people
AND…. In many cases add personal emotional opinion and not look at the legal Fram of the Constitution of the United States of America
So why is there such a magnifying glass on the SCOTUS on the “ruling” well possible “ruling” to overturn Roe V. Wade?
The lawmakers have failed for over 60 years to solidify or codify the opinion known as Roe v. Wade but some how its a select few people who sit on the highest court who have “ruined” this . I’m here to tell you this is as far from the truth as possible.
Tune in NOW as we look at the hung jury and how it wants to, needs to point the finger AND completely ignore who’s responsibility “LAW” making actual falls under…

Orwellian’s 4
With the government always wanting to get bigger needs to eat more freedoms. With the growing thought that if your disagree with me that means its fake news and propaganda. How and why should we trust the government to tell us what’s real and not? Short…. We shouldn’t. When and what programs has the government ran effective? Healthcare, drugs, crime, transportation, energy… any of them? I don’t think so… lets take a dive on how this could be the worst abuse of power in modern time… if you agree we need this just remember the party you hate may be in power soon and how would you trust it?

Political grandstanding and political theater has more to deal with not wanting to engage in conversation as to why things are being done. The small attack on the idea they are just being comedians and have no real point to be make other than argument to talking points. Stand in line ladies and gentleman you will be surprised with how much you agree with the other side… BUT for the simple reason its not MY PARTIES PERSONS name on the bill I won’t agree!!! Suck a fart already…

The fiction of the silver linings in the clouds:
With yet another shooting in NY and a person we know a little about… where is the fault and who’s to blame? The shooter or the gunman or the planner or the attempted murder or the terrorist? Funny how we try to blame the rifle or video games or even marly Manson some times. In this episode we look at the aftermath the build up and every thing else I believe is playing into this… we have made criminals victims we have passed laws to stop people from doing things but also stopped (if we ever did to begin with) passing laws to hold people for the actions the commit accountable. We want to outlaw guns and prosecute those people but we allow robbery and other “crimes” Mayne we need to really look at the real criminals. Charles Manson convinced people to do things…. Our (your) pope (politicians) have played you and made you think they have the interest of the people in play but really its all special interest based on a voting block poll…

With the dynamic options and views held on two of Americas biggest controversial people Donald trump and Kanye how are they so similar in the “brand” and how they are exactly what we asked for in many ways rather by choice or by accident. Just like batman not the one you want but the one you need. With such a polarizing body of work (life) we must question both sides to really gain a perspective. And honestly the hardest one too judge is neither Kanye or Trump but our selfs. We look to say things are not right and they are wrong but we are so quick to dismiss the fact we rarely judge the act and more so judge the person on some pre known belief…

With so much and absolutely no attention being payed to schools our kids are failing and falling behind the rest of the world when gender studies and awards are given out like candy from teachers who are in the profession for the wrong reasons. Just like cops not all teachers are bad but why is it that we continue to see self serving molders of minds pushing an agenda out side of the scope of education. Parents and tax payers should have insight and an understanding of what is being taught in schools. Its our job to make sure the product of tomato become the adults and rulers of the free world we expect. This lapse of educational standards will diminish what America is and where we stand in the world.

Americas greats bastion is its government? or is it its people? with congress being older than ever (oldest in history). we must begin to ask where does it end for some of them? or. is the problem we don't challenge them? they hold seats far to long and as well continue to only worry about re-election and in some cases run unposed. this is a travesty n election where no one is willing to say your doing a terrible job? some times its not about winning as it is so much forcing conversation.
Growing up I didn't know how to dance always got asked did you dance at the school dance I said no. I was a failure. That commitment to failure has suck with me. I knew I was never going to be the man my father wanted me to be. I don’t know who’s more fucked up me for always failing or him for being so un moveable with my life. Id like to think I knew what I know now but id be lying if I said it. Becoming who I am is all he ever wanted.

Time for the new year new me diatribes that come out of the 13th floor… lies its all the same the man thee myth the un-legendary one him self Mike Ellis and his producer John Solis return in 2020 v.2.0. first episode of the new year we hammer out the filibuster. Is it friend is it foe depends who’s in power and who wants to end it. We look at the history how it States acted in America and as well we talk about when those terrible republicans went nuclear option for the SCOTUS seat. Funny how power does this to people. When it helps we love it but when it hurts we hate it. Some times help isn’t help… Freedom is the answer and not emotions. Voting rights and congress all is on the table.

new years thought.
With a fake gun problem in America and the more easy it come to point the literal gun than the gun of actual accountability where is the problem and where is the solution. Most people driven by the media love to blame the gun never the background of the person in its truest form. Instead it's the movies the games and the violence never the upbringing never the community never the school. Just the gun the bullies and the kid who needed help. How can we rise above the problem when we refuse to honor its start. Parent and just adults in general have a large swath of blame they refuse to burden them self with its always we never saw it coming when the can’t be more of a lie. In many cases it's we refused to listen to the train an thought it was just a light at the end of the tunnel.

China has for years been given a pass on every thing from climate to human rights. When is enough enough? We allow the media, NBA, and other operations across America to tell us China is not a problem and it really isn’t that bad. On the verge of the winter games is now the chance for us to admit they are a problem? With a White House the give China passes for most issues including human rights violations maybe its up to us the simpletons to raise our hands and actually call out China for what it is a communist nation built on its willingness to continue to press many and kill as it sees fit.
