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.

I’ve lived through times when we actually moved forward. Times when, despite our flaws, we were at least trying to get better. But now? It feels like people are giving up ground they don’t even

As Trump droned on to a completely silent audience, he told us we could now deduct auto loan interest from our taxes — a “first-time-ever” benefit, supposedly created by him. The lies come so easily

I used to feel proud on this day. Now I mostly feel determined. Determined not to let the loudest, angriest voices define what this country becomes. Determined not to let indifference win. Determined to say

A little history to my reasons for being. (This was my 2nd morning coffee post)

I was a 9-year-old American officer’s son when I walked through Dachau. I remember the ovens, the showers—stains still on the walls.

About Here – How it started, and where it is going.

As time passed, I kept wondering: what happens if we impeach the Putz? And I’ll admit, I was hesitant to see the Vice President take over. Why? Because he doesn’t stand for America. He sold
