In this video, I break down the ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good from a Veteran's Perspective. We discuss why shooting at moving vehicles is banned by many agencies, the physics of "unguided missiles," and why de-escalation should always be the priority over lethal force.
We also look at the historical parallel to the Boston Massacre of 1770. History shows us that when government forces choose lethal action over discipline, the social contract breaks. We can support secure borders and the mission of accountability without accepting a standard where citizens are shot in the street for a traffic panic.

Nicolás Maduro wasn’t a president; he was a fugitive hiding in a palace. In this video, we break down the historical and legal facts behind "Operation Justice." While the mainstream media and leftist pundits act like this was an "unprecedented" overreach, the facts tell a different story.

We dive into: The Legal Reality: Why Maduro was a usurper under Article 233 of the Venezuelan Constitution. The Criminal Record: The DOJ’s $15 million bounty and the "Cartel of the Suns" indictment. The Hypocrisy: Why the Biden administration kept the bounty active for years, only to have their supporters cry foul when Trump finished the job. It’s time to stop looking at feelings and start looking at the law. Maduro is out, and justice has been served.

Are you passively waiting on the VA, or are you actively managing what you earned? Too many veterans view their benefits as charity rather than compensation. In this video on veteran advocacy, we explore why you need to stop asking and start "taking control of your benefits."

It’s time to treat your healthcare, disability compensation, and GI Bill like the valuable assets they are. Learn how to become your own best advocate.

In this essential episode of VeteranPerspectives, host and combat veteran Jeff Connell draws a stark comparison between the Vietnam War and Operation Iraqi Freedom. He argues that both conflicts followed the same damaging pattern: a lie of purpose, financial misallocation, systemic betrayal of troops, and a collective national amnesia.

Listen as he shares his personal "confession" and historical analysis, calling for the nation to stop prioritizing corporate profit and political expediency over the human costs of war. This episode is a demand for better long-term veteran care, true accountability, and the creation of a national memorial for the post-9/11 generation.

In this episode, I dive into a mix of big topics — from Trump being passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize to the deeper truth that America was never meant to be a two-party system. It’s raw, unfiltered, and meant to make you think about where we’re headed as a country and how narratives shape what we believe.🎧 Watch, think, and share your thoughts in the comments.👇 Explore more of my work and support what I do:📰 Blog: https://veteranperspectives.substack.com🛍️ Etsy Store: https://jkprintsgifts.etsy.com#Trump #NobelPrize #AmericanPolitics #TwoPartySystem #VeteranPerspectives #PoliticalPodcast #IndependentThinker #FreedomOfSpeechDiving into a variety of topics today, from the VA to updates on Donald Trump. I'm also covering the latest on the Israel news and the ongoing Gaza war. We'll also be looking at news concerning Hamas and the broader Israel war.

The Washington Post just ran an “investigation” smearing veterans by painting us as fraudsters and peddling lies about how the VA actually works. As a veteran, I’m calling out their lazy, biased reporting — and setting the record straight.📖 Read my full response blog here:👉 https://veteranperspectives.beehiiv.com/p/the-washington-post-s-lazy-hit-piece-on-veterans-a-response📰 The original Washington Post article:👉 https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/interactive/2025/veterans-affairs-disability-claims-fraudVeterans deserve truth, not smear campaigns.

Charlie Kirk was assassinated for doing what every American has the right to do — speak his mind and engage in the political debate of our time. Whether you agreed with him or not, celebrating his death is a dangerous sign of where we are as a nation.

In this video, I call out the hypocrisy of those who cheer political violence while claiming to defend democracy. Free speech was never meant to protect only the voices we like — it exists to protect the ones we can’t stand. If we fail that test, we risk becoming a country ruled by fear, not freedom.

Watch, share, and let me know in the comments: Do we still value free speech in America, or are we letting hate win?
