Scrappy, Flawed, Unfiltered, and I Refuse to Give Up.

Well maybe not daily, but as the need to express my current feelings. Joy and Depression. I know that this to shall pass, but sometimes it just feels hopeless.
This page is a curated and evolving list of internet voices I find worth listening to. Like anyone else, I’ve been pulled in by clickbait and hype more times than I care to admit, and I use sources like these to step back, clear the noise, and see the broader picture again.
I’ll be honest with you — most of what I read and listen to leans left. That’s where I land. But I’m genuinely afraid of any pendulum that swings too far in either direction, so I’ve made a deliberate effort to include voices that challenge that. The Dispatch and Tangle in particular are worth your time regardless of where you stand politically. If a source is a late-night show like The Daily Show or Jimmy Kimmel, you’re responsible for separating the delivery from the substance — humor often carries truth beneath it.
The goal here isn’t to tell you what to think. It’s to give you the opportunity to think — to slow the manufactured insanity we’re all living through, and to focus on fixing broken systems rather than just tearing everything down. Links get added and removed over time. So do my opinions.

If that's really the plan, I've got one very big question I'd like answered soon. Who, exactly, is this Democrat? This Independent? This RINO? Take your pick. But whoever it is better make a stage

There's still a scorecard, though. We've lost lives — lives that didn't need to be thrown away. Your friends. Your family. And what has your hero and savior lost? Well, his sons have made hundreds

I put it to you: in the long run, the noise fades. The calm, rational voice is the one people took notes on.
The hardest lesson to learned here, is to look in the mirror upon occasion and take those rose colored glasses off. I'm not always happy with what looks back at me, and it's not just

The other tactic — and this one is truly scary, because it's starting to work on me — is fatigue. I'm tired. You're tired. Everybody's tired, burned out from all the BS. And "so what"

That doesn't mean no accountability. There should still be real oversight, reinstate the Inspectors General, put them back under Congress's control, and let them do their jobs. Oversight isn't revenge. Revenge is spending two years
