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.

The DOJ (Putz’s personal law firm) Trying to revive that dead horse (Arizona’s 2020 Election)
Amplification via media and rhetoric: Loud, repeated assertions of “new proof” or “cover-ups” can resonate with segments of the electorate predisposed to distrust official results, regardless of counter-evidence. This mirrors patterns seen in 2020–2024 challenges,
650 Million Dollars in Oil Trades just before Iran announcement, Tar and Feathers anyone?
The trades weren’t random. They were overwhelmingly sells—aggressive short positions betting that oil prices were about to crater. At the exact same moment, another $1.5 billion flood of buy orders hit S&P 500 futures.

The GOAT Strategy
Keep the stories coming fast enough and messy enough, and the public eventually shrugs and goes back to everyday life. Work. Bills. Kids. Groceries. The ordinary things that actually matter in people’s lives.
A year in Memes, what has it come to.
In the beginning—and yes, that does sound like a Bible entry—there was an event that would end up causing havoc far beyond our borders. America, it seems, had fallen asleep at the wheel. The country

I will take back what I said earlier, I do want you to believe at least two things. ICE isn't about immigration, it's about intimidation, and any Senator or Congressman that votes for continued ICE
It is time to wake up
Eisenhower’s decision was not about war it was about truth. He foresaw that memory fades and denial grows. He wanted to make disbelief impossible. His visit ensured that what he saw that day would not
Do you really want to make America Great Again?
To address this, perhaps we should consider implementing basic competency assessments—say, an elementary-level literacy and civics test—for anyone running for public office. It's a simple way to ensure a minimum standard of knowledge and capability.

More on Free Speech – Lets Cut Through the Manure
Today it’s illegal hate speech. Tomorrow it’s “destabilizing speech.” Next week it’s “misleading narratives.” And soon… dissent itself becomes questionable.
To stay in the fight, just what fight where they staying in?
That means the narrative of “stay in the fight” — or justification of the strike as combat — is highly contested, deeply ambiguous, and legally dubious given what is known so far. Got news for

Seditious my Ass
By labeling this “sedition,” Trump is effectively punishing someone for advocating compliance with basic military ethics and the law. Historically, this looks like a leader rewarding disobedience to law for political gain, which can backfire
Trump behaves as if everything is personal — because for him, it is.
But the consequences of his behavior are not personal. They plug into larger forces he barely understands.** Let me break this into the three layers that actually explain his behavior. 1. Inside Trump’s mind, everything
