Mark Felton – Mark Felton Productions is a STRICTLY NON-POLITICAL history channel presenting films by leading military historian and author Dr. Mark Felton on a variety of fascinating historical subjects, with particular focus on WWII and the Cold War.

IN THE DOGHOUSE:
Zeihan on Geopolitics – Geopolitical strategist with insight on global issues. Many of his predictions are spoken with great confidence, but don’t come to pass.
Neil deGrasse Tyson – I can’t say whether his astrophysics is faulty; but once he ventures out of his realm of expertise, he loses scientific analysis and only believes things through an emotional lens. On one scientific topic that he was losing an argument on, his defense was, and I quote: “Why do you care! Why do you care! Why do you care!” That kind of passionate view on a scientific topic destroyed his credibility, in my view, and makes him more of the “Bill Nye, the Science Guy” of astrophysics.
