Common-sense conservative commentary on American news and politics. Facts, not outrage.

This channel holds Democrats, blue states, and blue cities accountable for the damage caused by bad policy, corruption, and hypocrisy. From public safety and crime to government overreach and failed leadership, we follow the receipts and show how citizens of the United States are paying the price.

You’ll see archival “Then vs Now” clips exposing what politicians said versus what actually happened, along with deep-dive breakdowns of fraud, corruption, and abuse of power.

I’m an outsider looking in, offering a clear-eyed view of American politics without the media spin.
Facts are nonpartisan. Accountability shouldn’t be controversial.

IMPORTANT UPDATE ON THE FUTURE OF CROSSROADS IRL

Hello Travelers,

First, thank you to everyone who joined last night’s livestream. It got emotional towards the end when I talked about how much I appreciate your support. If you missed it, let me know in the comments and I’ll share the link.

We are making two strategic shifts to serve you better:

1. The "Why" Behind the Madness
You subscribe for "Facts, not Outrage." To truly understand the lies Mainstream Media tells, the corruption in Blue Cities and Democrat leadership, we have to look deeper.

Going forward, I will be analyzing the moral and spiritual dimension behind the stories we cover.

We can’t just react to symptoms (crime, bad policy); we have to expose the root cause. Expect deeper analysis on how media and culture are being engineered to manipulate the public.

2. A New Home for Livestreams
We are moving our unscripted Livestreams to a dedicated channel: youtube.com/@realcrossroadslive.

This ensures the main channel remains focused on the tight, high-quality commentary and archival footage you expect, while the Live channel will host our raw, unedited conversations.

(Note: Daily News Reactions will stay right here on this channel, so you never miss a beat on breaking stories.)

We are not just a rage-bait machine. We are here to uncover the truth, however dark it gets.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

God bless,

AA

Going live at 7:00 pm Eastern tonight.

Same ICE raids. Same laws.
Completely different media script.

Under Trump, ICE was “cruel” and “dangerous.”
Under Obama, the very same operations are suddenly “routine” and “reasonable.”

Tonight’s new video breaks down the receipts: the language shift, the headlines, and what that double standard means for citizens of the United States trying to understand immigration and border policy.

Set a reminder, watch, and tell me in the comments:
Did the facts change…or just the politics? 👀

I talk a lot on this channel about “Facts not Outrage” and how narratives are manufactured.
Patricia Bock (@patriciabock4299) sent me the email below. I’m sharing it unedited, exactly as it was written, because it lays out one citizen’s view of how a generation ends up calling a leader who stops wars and opens economic doors a “fascist” — and how rich, connected people use culture, media and fear to steer the citizens of the United States.
I don’t agree with every line of every email I get. That’s not the point.
The point is to read, think, and test claims against reality.

— EMAIL BEGINS —

Understanding why a younger generation would call a leader who stops wars and gives them the best opportunities in history to build their own wealth a Fascist!
 
Young people admire rich people who are famous.  If they are famous they are worth listening to.  Entertainers and Politicians are famous and very wealthy.
 
These famous entertainers say exactly what very rich politicians tell them to say.  You hear it every day as the "canned" speech is repeated by entertainers and news reporters.  Rich People telling Rich People what to say to people who are not rich so the not rich people will do what the rich people want them to do.  Buy their music, movies, products and vote for them to control the government.
 
This type of manipulation takes a Strategic Plan!
 
So these super rich people started looking around to see if they could discover a strategic plan that would accomplish what they wanted.
 
They found one.  It was written by Karl Marx who enticed people to believe in his Fantasy Utopia.  A perfect World based on everyone having the exact same wealth.  But, when Hitler used this to manipulate Germans into supporting his fantasy that Germans were superior beings over other races - especially Jews and Blacks - and that because of their superiority they should rule the World, Karl Marx's Socialist fantasy failed.
 
But what if these very rich people added Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals?"
 
Socialism plus Chaotic Radical Action!  Hey that just might work.  Saul Alinsky, after all, did create the Chicago Inner City playbook!  It did not work for the residents but it did work for the Democrats to control how the residents of this Inner City would vote!
 
Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" also proved to control large groups of people to become rioters inflicting fear among people who lived in the areas that the riots happened in.  Other communities also feared the same thing might happen in their neighborhoods.  REMEMBER COMMUNIST USE FEAR TO CONTROL LARGE MASSES OF PEOPLE.
 
Now for the population control, get rid of some of these pesky people who believe in and support the Constitution and Freedom.
 
First restrict who gets medical procedures and treatments.  Obamacare is their blessing in disguise for this!  Plus the very rich can benefit by buying stocks in Insurance Companies.
 
Now increase the population with people who would be easy to control - people from poor nations.  Open the borders invite them in, send people to them as they march toward the border to school them on what to say if they are caught crossing the border illegally - asylum!
 
Once the people get into the country send them to voting districts that need to be destroyed and added to large Democrat voting districts.  This will cancel out the Republican's votes.
 
Now all that is needed is to create a villain!
 
Tell people the rich need to pay their fair share.  But target corporations they are not seen as individuals.  The very rich people who want to control everything will not be seen as doing so.  They can tell people the rich need to pay their fair share while they do not and no one will point this out to the people.  The very rich can keep on growing their own wealth while depleting the country of its wealth.
 
Second villain: the opposition:  Republicans!
Excellent!  Make Republicans a target.
Call them names and make false accusations about what they do.  The more repeat this, the more people will believe it.
 
Now you have the perfect set up to create riots in the streets, attacks on specific targeted people.
 
Donald Trump on an escalator announces his Candidacy for President of the United States of America! 
 
He is "friends" with very rich and powerful Democrats.  "Friends" who in the past encouraged him to run for President.  The very rich Democrats KNOW him and what he stands for!  PANIC!  He will ruin their entire plan to control the people of America and the World.  FOCUS on enemy number one - Donald J. Trump!  Destroy him!
 
Before Obama left office, Antifa and BLM were organized and put into action.  The final attack from Obama came in the words he first spoke (later adopted by Hillary) Donald Trump was "Putin's Puppet."  The stage is set.

Where do you strongly agree with this breakdown, and where do you think the writer is reaching? Keep it specific.
I’ll be pulling some of your responses into a future video.

TONIGHT 6:30 PM ET – LIVE: ICE Hypocrisy, Trump’s Warnings & Your Geopolitical Headlines

Citizens of the United States were told this was “compassion.” Then someone died.
Tonight we’re opening the case file on Renée Good’s death and what it exposes about years of Democrat ICE hypocrisy – with receipts, not outrage.

Here’s the plan:
Segment 1 – The Receipts (15–20 minutes)
Trump and others warned for years about exactly this kind of ICE disaster. We’ll put the archival clips on screen and compare “then” vs “now.”
Segment 2 – Main Case File: Renée Good (20–30 minutes)
Step-by-step through the policy failures, who knew what, and how the cover-up works. Facts are nonpartisan, but the cover-up is political.
Segment 3 – Viewer Geo Desk (20–30 minutes)

Your geopolitical headlines:
Iran uprising, Venezuela extraction fallout, talk of the United States annexing Greenland, NATO games – bring the stories you’re watching, and I’ll pull up the receipts live.
Segment 4 – Close & What Happens Next (5–10 minutes)
Where this goes next, and which story from tonight gets a full breakdown in an upcoming video.

Join live at 6:30 PM ET. If you care about facts over theatre, be there.
Drop your geopolitical headlines in the comments for Segment 3 – the more specific, the better (country + what you think we’re not being told).

WEDNESDAY 6:30 PM ET – Follow‑up to the Renée Good video, plus two big extras.

First, we’re breaking down the fallout from the Renée Good ICE shooting in Minneapolis: the investigation, the sanctuary politics, and what it means for citizens of the United States who have to live under these policies.

Then, in the final segment, we’re zooming out:
• Venezuela – what the recent extraction tells us about decisive leadership
• Iran – how hostages, strength, and respect on the world stage tie back to warnings from 1980

If you’ve been asking how Venezuela and Iran fit into the bigger picture, this is where we connect the dots.

Are you joining live or catching the replay?

TUESDAY 8:30 PM ET – A woman is dead because politics was put ahead of public safety.

My new video on Renée Good’s death shows how years of Democrat ICE rhetoric, sanctuary city policies, and “resistance” optics created the conditions for a completely preventable tragedy.

This isn’t team red vs team blue. It’s about whether citizens of the United States are told the truth about immigration enforcement, crime, and who is actually being protected.

Set a reminder, watch when it drops, and share it with someone who still believes this is all just “theater.” Facts first, narratives second.

Sorry about the switch.

Hello Travellers,

Big update for Crossroads going forward 👇

I’m locking in a consistent upload schedule so you know exactly when to expect new commentary.

Starting this week:
• New videos: Tuesdays & Thursdays at 8:30pm ET
• Livestreams: Wednesdays & Fridays at 6:30pm ET
• Focus: “Then vs Now” archival clips that show how the story changed, plus short, no-BS breakdowns of the week’s biggest hypocrisy in politics & media

If you actually want YouTube to show you this stuff when it drops:
• Hit “All Notifications” on the bell
• Comment below: Do you prefer watching earlier or later in the evening?

You’ve stuck around through the inconsistency. The least I can do is give you a clear schedule and stick to it.

Let’s rebuild this the right way.

Hello Travellers.

Sorry about the late notice. We'll not be having any livestreams today due to ongoing arrangements for my Mum's Wake and Funeral.
