The Renegade Writer's Mouthy Musings

I remember that expression from my Dad preaching it from the pulpit: “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Damn, I feel that in my bones. I often feel like I’m living the Bill Murray movie “Groundhog Day” much of the time. I stay in my lane, sticking to my routine. So much so that it starts feeling like I’ll never reach my goals, though I’m working so hard to make them happen.

Anyone else relate to that shit?

When I spend 12-15 hours daily in my bedroom writing, podcasting, reading, and doing all of the behind-the-scenes stuff to grow my Substack following, it doesn’t leave much time for regular things. I miss out on much of life lately by being a hermit. Though I love what I do for a living and it’s easy to sit around with Mooch all day, I realize that we both should be doing more.

No wonder she loves car rides so much. It breaks up the monotony of our day.

In today’s podcast episode, I talk about the need to change things up a bit to make my goals and dreams happen. I can’t keep fixating on Substack this many hours every day of the year, thinking that the growth will eventually get me to where I want financially to be able to do this while traveling. Something has to change.

I appreciate you lending me your ears. I’d love to hear your feedback about what I might be able to do differently to make this happen sooner. I’m decent a pivoting a bit, but sometimes, we need bigger, riskier moves to make things happen.

I know that my Mouthy Militia will be here for it, regardless of how many twists and turns my Writer’s Journey takes. Y’all and Mooch are such a big part of it. I appreciate that greatly.

Allowing Donald Trump to control our lives daily is inexcusable.

I was thinking about this today. I saw a reminder in the mail about how life moves on regardless of the stupid crap that Combover Caligula brings to the headlines constantly. I hate him with the fire of a million suns, but one thing is certain:

I’m not allowing that orange dick-with-ears to control my level of happiness.

I talk about this in today’s episode of our podcast. I appreciate you lending me your ears on this. I feel that it could be helpful to many of us who have been struggling with sadness, anger, and depression over the direction that this criminal administration is taking our country.

We don’t have to take his bullshit. And I’ll be damned if I allow him to negatively affect my day-to-day enjoyment of life. Let’s resist and fight his fascism the best way possible:

By being happy and doing exactly as we please in life.

Man, sometimes I really feel my age. Especially during these stressful times we find ourselves in, under Traitor Trump.

I’m a pretty feisty fella at age 51. My mental age is much lower than that, as I love to joke and kid around about everything. But then, my body reminds me of the age I’m at. Especially with past injuries to my lower back.

Carpet cleaning was rough work. I’m paying for it these days.

I talk about this in today’s podcast. Mooch being stubborn about going on medium-length walks in the park had me thinking about this. I just hope we have several good years left with her. And for me and Mai to reach our goals about world travel and other things we hope to accomplish before too long.

Getting rid of the Pedo President would be one of those goals. Putting our country back on the path of freedom and democracy for all would surely lighten my mood. I will keep fighting the best way I know how, with my daily articles and podcast.

I appreciate you all supporting it and tuning in. The Mouthy Militia sure makes this worth doing. Thank you all so much.

Damn, that was fun! Especially with no advance notice or warning. Hell, I didn’t even realize I was going to do another Live until I got home about 20 minutes beforehand.

And it came out great, because Y’all joined in and made it fun. I appreciate our Mouthy Militia more than you know. I needed a mood improvement, and this was that and then some. Thank you guys for participating in it with me.

We talked about some of our favorite things. Hell, we even had to bring up Traitor Trump, as much as I didn’t want to. But whatever, we handled that BS like champs. We’re in charge, not him. Fuck Spray-Tan Shitler.

Thank you all again. I appreciate you guys more than you know. If you missed the Live version, I hope you enjoy this one. Let’s do it again soon!

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been ordered to be released from ICE custody. This is amazing news. I need to fixate on positive things like this more than constantly shit-talking Traitor Trump.

Now we’ll see if said traitor actually allows his release. You can’t count on Spray Tan Shitler to ever do the right thing or follow the rule of law.

US district judge Paula Xinis stated in her Thursday order: “Since Ábrego García’s wrongful detention in El Salvador, he has been redetained, again without lawful authority.” Now we wait and hope that Trump, Noem, and ICE follow the law or not. I’m not holding my breath.

In today’s podcast episode, I talk about how positive things like this and small wins against a criminal, corrupt regime are important to focus on. I write too many fiery, anti-Trump articles and posts daily. It’s necessary to report positive developments like this one, as they happen.

I’m going to do better in this regard during 2026. We’ll have many badass wins coming, which will lead to the fall of MAGAism and Combover Caligula. We can win this war against fascism together.

We just have to celebrate winning each of these battles, which will lead to victory in the war on terror.

Man, it’s been a tough day, Y’all.

A week, actually. Honestly, the past few have been rough. I’ve been trying to shake it off since this all started, but today has been particularly rough. I hate to admit it, but the constant negativity that surrounds Traitor Trump wears on me.

It affects my moods negatively. Especially when I write and podcast about him constantly. I’m tired.

In today’s podcast episode, I share some feelings I have about the holiday season. I usually love Christmas and everything that comes along with it. But it feels different this year.

I’m struggling. Perhaps you are, too.

Thank you for lending me your ears on this one. I don’t enjoy venting about feelings of sadness or depression, but I do appreciate having an awesome audience like you guys who generally leave uplifting, encouraging comments when I’m feeling down.

I hope I do the same for you. I’ll shake this off. Things will get better. I don’t allow myself to get too low, so don’t worry. You’re valued and appreciated always.

I hate when people try to deny how racist the United States of America is.

Generally, that’s the MAGA crowd trying to downplay how shitty their racist, bigoted, sexist president is. He has to be the most openly racist politician we’ve had in the past 40 or 50 years. There’s nobody even close to second place.

That's because he just says whatever comes to his tiny, syphillis-riddled brain. He’s like the racist uncle who spews bullshit at Christmas dinner.

Someone needs to shut that shit down without being nice about it. That someone is Jasmine Crockett, who’s running for the Senate in 2026. We need more strong people like her who are vocal and mouthy about squashing racism and bigotry. And calling out idiots like this racist Cinnabon employee who used the N-word against Somali customers recently.

So, of course, MAGA has donated over $120,000 to her, so she can continue openly spewing her putrid, vile garbage.

So don’t tell me that AmeriKKKa isn’t a racist nation. It 100% is. Admitting that we have a huge problem with it is the first step in fighting these evil, trashy people. Jasmine and I have had enough of their bullshit.

Join us as a subscriber, and be part of our Mouthy Militia. We can fight harder and longer than these MAGA fuckwits. Especially with your help and support.

Talk about a goddamn snowflake… Someone call him a WAHHHmbulance, already.

Traitor Trump is always whining and crying about bullshit. It’s exhausting having to watch the supposed leader of the free world acting like a petulant toddler. He must have no self-esteem whatsoever.

It’s probably because he’s hung like a pimple.

The Tangerine Twatsicle was ranting and raving at the ass-crack of dawn about Marjorie Taylor Greene’s interview on 60 Minutes last night. She didn’t have much nice to say about Spray-Tan Shitler. She mentioned that MAGA GOP politicians make fun of HeavyWheezer Snooze behind his back.

And now Pee-Paw is pissed off again. Like fucking always.

In today’s episode of our podcast, I talk about what type of person gets fired up by words. And why that makes them a shitty world leader. Donnie Dementia is already losing his mind. Constant criticism of his lawless, criminal ways might just set him off enough for that long overdue fatal heart attack or stroke.

Here’s hoping. It’s beginning to sound a lot like Christmas. Let’s keep it up and hope that we receive the one gift we want this holiday season: A Trumptastic obituary.

“Why don’t you just leave, already?”

I get asked that constantly. And I’m not gonna lie, it’s pretty annoying most of the time. I have my reasons. And they’re good ones.

Sometimes, I share them in my writing or in these podcast episodes. Other times, I ignore the question. But rest assured, I have valid reasons for not just packing up a moving truck and driving to bluer pastures tomorrow.

I’ll share them with you in today’s podcast episode. I’m sure most people will understand. Believe me, living in a red state isn’t ideal. And it WILL change, but on my timeline. The one that is best for my family.

I appreciate you giving this one a listen. Thank you for lending me your ears. I appreciate you all so much. My Mouthy Militia is valued and appreciated greatly every single day.

“I don’t want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need…”

Mariah Carey’s overplayed Christmas song has me thinking. I really don’t want a bunch of bullshit things for the holidays. I have enough stuff. If I could just make one wish, it would be that this Trumptopian nightmare were over with, already.

I feel that it’s coming soon. I have July 4th, 2026, chosen in our Trump Demise Date office pool. But I’d gladly welcome it sooner.

Last night, I decided that I’d likely pop a bottle of vintage Cabernet and hit the button on my phone to start a Substack Live. Perhaps I’ll stay with y’all and celebrate until I pass out. I haven’t gotten really fershnockered in years. But I can’t think of a more worthy thing to do it over than the end of Traitor Trump.

Give this episode a listen, and I’ll tell you all about our plans for the Blessed Event. Mooch will be there, but no vino for her. Peanut butter bones a plenty, that will be her treat. Mrs. Mouthy and I will be partying hardy, though, as I’m sure you all will be too.

C’mon, Santa/Jesus/God. Make my holiday dream come true. Or the Grim Reaper. Whoever.
