  • The Oracle of Alternate Intelligence
    In a time when credible intelligence is vital to the safety and stability of the nation, it is deeply troubling to witness leadership that favors superstition and spectacle over facts and expertise. Instead of placing trust in the dedicated professionals of the intelligence community, we see a disturbing pattern of turning to unreliable sources — from internet influencers to conspiracy theories — for guidance on matters of grave consequence.

  • 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 be seen and heard.

  • 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 the law, and surrounds himself with so-called loyalists who are actually opportunists. Let’s not kid ourselves — any one of them would throw the others, even Trump himself, under the bus if it got them closer to power.

  • When Power Serves Itself, it’s time to Impeach
    From career civil servants to whistleblowers, Trump repeatedly fired or attacked individuals who challenged him, including ambassadors and inspectors general—gutting internal accountability structures meant to protect democratic norms.

  • The Real Threat Isn’t Trans — It’s Distraction
    Trump has increasingly focused on transgender participation in sports, access to bathrooms, and visibility in education. But his tone isn’t one of thoughtful debate — it’s one of mockery, fearmongering, and misdirection. If he truly cared about competitive fairness, why not address disparities in funding between men’s and women’s sports? If it’s about children, why ignore gun violence, hunger, and educational inequity?

  • What’s With the Windmills?
    Trump’s long, losing legal battle in Scotland, where he tried to block an offshore wind farm near his Aberdeenshire golf course. He claimed the turbines would ruin the view and diminish property values. When the courts and the Scottish government didn’t side with him, the issue metastasized into something larger. It was no longer about one golf course; it became about betrayal, liberal overreach, and the indignity of being told "no."

  • The Trump Deflection Doctrine
    The Game Isn’t Defense—It’s Distraction
    It’s never about answering the question.
    It’s about changing the subject so fast and so furiously, the public can’t keep up.
    It’s political sleight of hand.
    While we’re staring at the noise, the truth quietly disappears.

  • Well, This Is a Fine Pickle We’re In
    First off, let’s figure out just who did this to us.
    All of you. That’s who.
    I’m blameless.
    Well, maybe not completely blameless. I didn’t vote for him—I wrote in a name, thinking that would “send a message.”
    To who? Probably nobody. But hey, it made me feel better.
