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 Most Important Political Move You Can Make
For decades I voted the party line. There was only one box I shaded in, and it was the one that said “Republican.” After a while, I started to actually think about who I was
What we hear about us.
The Michael and Sarah Walker podcast from "Elephant in the Ink Room" is a political commentary podcast that focuses on the current political climate in the United States. The episodes are often quite short, with
Fires Everywhere
Trump isn’t just lighting political fires — he’s keeping them burning long enough to distract us from the real game. From DOJ slow-walks to federalizing D.C., from the Epstein fallout to filling Washington with loyalists,
The song “Love Makes the World Go Around”, On X it’s HATE.
Sometimes you just wake up and the first thing you see is some Troll posting something they found and out of ignorance have fact checked it while cruising X dot Com while having their morning
I Grew Up with the Truth — Now I Watch Them Bury It
I grew up believing truth had power. That facts could stand on their own — maybe bruised in the headlines, maybe doubted in the moment — but ultimately stronger than lies. And when the truth
“Boring? Try Being a Moderate.”
But make no mistake: if it were Marxists or Leninists destroying us, I’d be saying the exact same thing. Sometimes you have to throw the punch across the line to be heard. That doesn’t mean
Daily Rant: Acceptance and Action
I perceive Trump as a clear and present danger to the Republic. A wannabe dictator — or as I call it, a "dictraitor." He’s a power-hungry tyrant who demands absolute loyalty, sees himself as above
A Call for Violence—Is That Really What You Want?
When you see the uniformed enforcers, remind them: their oath is to the Constitution, not the President. Ask them: Is this what you want for your children’s future? Ask them: Do you want a fight?
Step Two – Acceptance
But laughter made it safe. Laughter made it seem like it wasn’t really serious. They poked fun at Biden too, right? They always poke fun at everyone. So we dismissed the threat. We smirked, shrugged,
🥒 Well, This Is a Fine Pickle We’re In
If you have read this far, then there is one question for you, and it's the most important one you will ever be asked out here. What is Plan B? Â
Good thing I roast my own coffee beans.
What I’m trying to build here is honest commentary — something that might offer insight, even if you don’t yet know the right questions to ask. Maybe this space helps you start asking, instead of
I do Dammit.
And let's be honest — no one really sees what I do. I’m not Elon. I’m not one of the influencers with a million eyes tracking every word. I’m just… me. A nobody trying to
It’s not Paranoia, It’s Real
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
The Morning After
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
Not Quite the Fourth – 2025
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
