The Renegade Writer's Mouthy Musings

*Shudder.

I know, I know. What a title. Just take a sip of your taste beverage and wash that barf down that came halfway up. Nobody wants to think about Taco Trump’s meat.

Well, I was thinking about it earlier. But I had a reason. No, I haven’t become full-MAGA out of nowhere.

Sometimes, an idea for an article or podcast episode just comes out of nowhere. And then it reminds me of something else. Then I connect those two different things and create something out of them. Today was one of those days.

Give this one a listen, I promise I won’t gross you out. Believe me, there are far better things to talk about than DJT’s meat. But this was pretty funny, and hell, it’s what we’re serving up today.

Or skip it. There will always be a new idea tomorrow. I hope you enjoy this one and it makes you laugh. I love a good Trump roast. I always burn it.

We sure had a blast doing our Substack Live with everyone who showed up to chat politics with us. It was wonderful to have my longtime writing friend and mentor on with me. I feel that we should do it again. Sound good to y’all?

Y’all…

Man, I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I had this podcast episode all figured out. I had a main photo ready, based on an encounter in the comments section of my newest article. We were going to roast this Trump-loving asshole who felt the need to take it to a certain place and bash my writing.

Then I forgot to mention him at all during the podcast. See how much these Twatzis matter to me?

Still, it was damn hilarious. And in the middle of the podcast, I came up with a title that I mentioned would make a great title, but I didn’t think I’d use it. Well, guess what? I did. Goes to show how on-the-fly I do these podcast episodes, sometimes.

And I’m glad it’s that way. I love having complete creative control of my decisions. I hope you enjoy this tale of the encounter Mooch and I had with Samson the Cat on our daily walk today. That’s him, in the main photo.

Thank you for lending me your ears. I appreciate you guys tuning in for these every day. You’re the best, and I couldn’t do this daily podcast or publish two articles each day without your support.

Howdy, Y’all! Good to be back with you this afternoon.

I’m a bit later than usual with this podcast episode. Today has been go, go, go from the jump. I knew I had to run my mother around for an errand and to see my father today, and her appointment was at a somewhat inconvenient time. But I made it work.

I even managed to write an all-new article earlier than usual, rather than do a rerun. I’m proud of that.

Libby the Mooch was happy to get a couple of longer car rides today. That’s her at a stop sign, in the left photo there. The right side is Texas Rep. Nicole Collier, sleeping in the Texas Capitol. I talk about the absolute bullshit scenario she found herself in this week in today’s episode of the podcast.

She handled it like an absolute hero. And she’s going to sue the FUCK out of Texas for holding her there against her will. And I’m all about it. Pay that woman.

Please check out my new article about it and give this one a listen. I think you’ll agree with my thoughts about the topic, knowing you like I do.

I appreciate you lending me your ears on this one, as you always do. We’re growing daily, and it’s wonderful to be able to share my thoughts about politics and life with you all. I appreciate my Mouthy Militia!

Good afternoon, Everyone!

I hope y’all are having a great Tuesday afternoon. I’m all up in my emotions today. It all started with reading an article from one of my favorite Substack writers, K.R. Byers about his daughter starting her first day of college and the emotions that come along with that.

It got me right in the feels. Check it out here, if you’ve experienced something similar:

As parents, we often view our children growing up and reaching life’s milestones with a bittersweet feeling. Though we’re proud, we also realize how quickly time passes. As they venture out into adulthood, it can be difficult. But it’s also amazing.

I wonder if Fred Trump was proud of Donald? I talk about this in today’s episode. When you parent a colossal fuckwit like Spray-Tan Shitler, it’s doubtful. I find myself wondering what Fred would have thought of his son becoming president.

I bet he’d be embarrassed as hell by the things Tweety McGreedy says and does. But who knows? Maybe he was a sick son-of-a-bitch, too. Perhaps he’d have cheered every cruel move Trump makes against his people

Please give this one a listen. I appreciate you lending me your ears. Thank you for your continued support daily. Our Mouthy Militia is awesome, and together, we’ll defeat Traitor Trump’s fascist bullshit.

Man, I sure didn’t expect this to happen today.

I don’t mean the sitdown between Traitor Trump, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and several leaders of European nations participating in the White House summit to discuss the war between Russia and Ukraine. I’m talking about how I felt about it. Once I hit the record button on today’s episode, I was shocked.

I was really fucking fired up about this entire thing.

I get pretty feisty and emotional in my writing. Often, that carries over to these podcast episodes. Some are more animated and angry than others. But this one, holy hell. I felt myself seething by the back end of it.

Perhaps I’m sick of having a dipshit, embarrassing, criminal president. Maybe it’s because I knew it was going to turn into a shit-show of epic proportions. For whatever reason, I felt my blood pressure and voice both rising by the second half. I hope you’ll give it a listen.

I appreciate you lending me your ears. My like-minded Mouthy Militia is the best. We all want good things for all people. Let’s keep the fight going, together. We’ll achieve the things we want by being Mouthy and vocal.

We likely are leaving our very red state and heading to bluer pastures in a year.

I was reminded of this today while mowing my lawn. Though we have some obstacles to overcome in a year, things are lining up for us to be able to buy a home somewhere on the Oregon Coast or close to it. I can’t fucking wait.

All of this Trump bullshit may even play in our favor. If he drives the housing market down with his taco tariffs, we may get a better deal.

It was cool to think about this earlier this afternoon. Though I’d miss a few family members here locally, we’d only be a day’s drive away. Or a short plane ride. I talk about this in today’s episode, and why this change is something my Bride and I are very much looking forward to.

I appreciate you giving it a listen. Thank you for lending me your ears, as always. I appreciate my listeners and our Mouthy Militia so very much. Hope you’re having a hell of a great weekend!

Hey Everyone.

Happy Weekend to you all. I hope things are going well on this fine Saturday afternoon. Weekends for most are full of fun, rest, friends, family, and special events.

Such was the case last night for me. My daughter invited me to go see Lynyrd Skynyrd with her.

I was thrilled to be invited. We don’t do as much one-on-one fun stuff as we used to. She’s a busy college student and a hard worker at her job. As we grow older, life happens. Things get set aside so often by the necessities of our situations. But for one night, we had a wonderful time, just the two of us.

I had an ulterior motive for wanting to go see Skynyrd, besides enjoying great music. I also wanted to see if I’d witness any racism while attending the show. They’re from the Deep South and have notoriously used the Confederate flag in their shows during the band’s 50-year history.

In today’s episode, I talk about what I saw and heard. Not just from the band, but from the crowd, as well. Living in a very red state, I had an idea of what I could expect.

But I was surprised. You might be, too. Thank you for lending me your ears on this one. I always appreciate you all so much.

Christ on a vodka bottle, here the fuck we go.

There’s nothing like a war criminal meeting with a presidential pedophile on U.S. soil. I’d love to see the ICC get a two-fer and swoop in to arrest both scumbags. Sadly, this is likely not to be.

Well, I can still root for the bear if they take a walk in the woods, right?

Who knows? I’m not going to let it ruin my day, though. I have several badass things going on that have me in a good mood today. I talk about that in today’s podcast episode. Happy Friday to you all. I hope you have good things going on, as well.

Thank you for lending me your ears, as always. My Mouthy Militia always makes me happy. I sure appreciate you tuning in daily for these, plus my two articles. Thank you for fighting alongside me against Traitor Trump and his fascist bullshit.

Man, there’s no stress like worrying about your pet’s health.

Libby the Mooch is an older lady now. At age 13, I see signs of her slowing down a bit. She’s had two probable potty accidents (one, I can confirm for certain) this week, and I am worried about her little bladder. It doesn’t get easier to hold your water as you get older.

Trust me, as a 50-year-old man, I get it. “Pulling an all-nighter” now means that I made it through my entire sleep cycle without having to get up to rock a piss.

So with that going on and today’s dentist visit to fill three cavities, I’m a bit stressed out. I don’t suffer from anxiety as badly as some do, but I still am not a fan of worrying about loved ones. Especially my little Mooch. But I’m going to tough it out and take care of business today.

She’ll be fine at home with her person, my daughter. She said she’ll keep a close eye on her and make sure she gets out when needed. I appreciate her for that. I love their thing together.

Ok, I'd better get her out for her walk, get some lunch going, and schedule this before I head out. I’m glad to get my cavities handled, and once that’s over with, it will be nice to chill and read some comments from y’all. Thank you for being here with me daily.

Especially on stressful days when my mental health isn’t at its best. I appreciate y’all so much.
