A praying mantis looks powerful until something else takes control. Peter Vazquez used that image to name the moment we are living in: the Vanbōōlzalness Crisis, where words replace truth and optics excuse failure.
Joined by Craig Bannister, managing editor of CNS News at MRC, the conversation cut through media narratives that claim “families are being hunted” while violent offenders are released and accountability disappears. From immigration enforcement and the fentanyl crisis to the emotional laundering of race, poverty, and public safety, the pattern is the same: ideology over reality.
The discussion turned practical and urgent. Support the Second Amendment. Support civic institutions like the Hamburg Firearms, Ammo, and Knife Show. Rising food prices, eroding rights, and a compliant media are not coincidences.
The message is direct: recognize the Vanbōōlzalness Crisis, reject manipulation, and choose your next step.
