The Renegade Writer's Mouthy Musings

Man, today was spicy. But in a good way. Like when you eat an authentic Mexican or Vietnamese dish. It hurts, but in a good way. I’ve always enjoyed that.

Just like it was my pleasure to roast the fuck out of Donald Buttlord today.

It felt good, I’m not gonna lie. It was cathartic. I love using my voice to stand up against his fascist bullshit. Writing about him so often sometimes puts me in a dark mood. But after writing my new article this morning, I felt empowered.

Check it out if you have time. I talk about this in today’s episode. I hope you enjoy both of them. I truly appreciate you lending me your ears. We have to stand up and stop his crap before it’s too late. We can do this together. The Mouthy Militia grows stronger every single day.

Fuck Trumpism and MAGA.

I’m sorry, Y’all. I didn’t mean to scare you.

It seems that my new article sort of freaked a few of you out. I wrote and published one a couple of hours ago that talked about what my last day in this life would probably look like. I didn’t mean for it to sound desperate or scary.

It was more of a love letter to my Bride, my kids, and family. Mooch, too. You guys, of course.

Death has also been a topic that’s at the top of my mind lately. Mainly because of my father’s health issues and not knowing how much longer we’ll have him with us. Transitioning him from living at home to a rehab/long-term care facility hasn’t been easy. He’s not very agreeable about it.

So I think about death more lately. And it’s always been one of the few things in life that truly scares me. In today’s podcast episode, I talk about this in depth. And I appreciate you all checking up on me after reading the new article.

I’d never harm myself. I love life far too much to ever consider such a thing. I want to be around for my loved ones and the Mouthy Militia for many more years to come. We have work to do, fighting fascism together. I appreciate you lending me your ears on this one, thank you!

Do you think there will actually BE a mid-term election in 2026?

I’m starting to wonder if our country will still exist by then. A year and four months is a long time. Just look at how much damage Trumpism and the MAGA movement have done in five months.

People are being kidnapped on our streets. Some are dying in ICE custody. Others are being shipped to countries they’ve never even visited before. This shit has to end.

But are we doing enough? Our memes, articles, and videos don’t seem to be slowing this fascist fuckery down. When Trump has both sides of Congress and the Supreme Court helping him break the law, it often feels impossible. But we must fight back. We have to take back our power.

Give today’s podcast episode a listen. I’d love to know your thoughts as to what it will take to end Trump’s reign of terror and restore law and order to America. Too many marginalized citizens are being victimized by a racist, bigoted criminal.

Resist. Fight back. Know your enemy. We have to stick together. We outnumber them in a huge way. The protest crowds are showing this. Let’s own our power and end this fascist bullshit as quickly as possible.

Before we have nothing left to save.

Well, Hello Y’all!

Thank you to everyone who tuned in to the live version of this chat between me and my close friend, Robin Wilding. We decided to discuss the topic of travel. I knew this would be fun as hell.

We’ve had some great memories, some weird experiences, and it was fun to share them with you guys. Thank you so much for tuning in. I appreciate you lending us your ears.

Please hit that subscribe button for Robin and my good friend K.R. Byers, who I mentioned in this episode. I sure would appreciate you supporting them both!

Lord, I was born a ramblin’ man…

Damn, I wish, right about now. After missing my Yellowstone trip with my Bride a week ago, it’s been nothing but chaos. I’ve been pulled in several directions, none of which have led to places I particularly want to be.

It’s a busy life, typically. Adding the things I’ve had to add lately has made it even more frantic and stressful.

But that’s ok. I’m going to talk about travel with my BFF, Robin Wilding here in less than an hour on our Substack Live. That will have to do for now. And in today’s podcast episode, I discuss the things that are wearing on my mental health and some plans to fix it. I’ll keep strong and do what I have to do.

But I sure am looking forward to the next time I can travel. That hits the reset button for me, and helps me to forget about family stress, politics, and dumbass Donald for a bit. Thank you for lending me your ears on this one. I always appreciate it!

What a past 24 hours it’s been, Y’all.

And it’s not like some big, huge drama. It’s a lot of small, little things that add up. When you don’t have unlimited free time, and it’s quite the opposite of that, it doesn’t take much to throw you off your game. Believe me, I’m learning this in less than two weeks.

I’m all about routine, in terms of family life and career. When something throws that off, it’s rough on my mental health.

But I’m trying. I'm working hard to balance things, adjust, and be a good son, husband, and writer. The ups and downs of this Substack grind have become more pronounced and noticeable. But I’m not going to let it stop me. In today’s podcast episode, I talk about these challenges.

Thank you for listening to this one. I appreciate you lending me your ears. Your support and encouragement are so helpful. Hearing the stories you leave in the comments about your own experiences in dealing with similar things brings solidarity and comfort.

Thank you all for being the badasses you are. I value and appreciate you all.

It’s the damn Wild West out there, these days, Y’all.

We have to watch our asses. And each other’s. When domestic terrorists are allowed to run around masked up, refusing to show their badges, and grabbing Americans off the street, it’s dangerous. Especially so when you have no idea who you’re actually dealing with.

What if the person behind the mask isn’t an ICE agent?

They could easily be a rapist or murderer. Or a serial killer. This is what happens when you have a president who doesn’t give a flying fuck about safety and the rule of law. We have to demand change regarding this treasonous topic.

Please give this one a listen today. It’s important for your safety and well-being. I always appreciate you all lending me your ears, but today’s podcast episode is particularly important. Please share the link to it on your social media or restack it here on Substack.

American lives may depend on it. Thank you for being a part of our Mouthy Militia. I value your free and paid support. Let’s stop this evil, fascist wannabe dictator together.

Just motherfucking breathe, Mouthy…

Christ in a straitjacket, it’s been a day. And it’s not even 3 PM yet. But it’s 5 o’clock somewhere.

Somebody beer me.

Trump, war, my father’s health, my lower back, they’re all contributing factors to my mental health hanging by a thread. Things are difficult right now. I’m strong and I refuse to give up, but sometimes, it’s fucking rough. I’m sure most of you can relate.

Please give this one a listen, I’d love to hear some positive comments. Your comments, restacks, and new free and paid subscriptions sure make a difference. I appreciate your continued support. I am proud to have friends like all of you who are part of our Mouthy Militia.

Hey Everyone,

Today isn’t a happy day. Besides my back being out, my family sick, and my father being near the end of his life, other things suck. Things that affect much more than the people living under my roof or our extended family.

War. Put into play by a psychotic, draft-dodging chickenshit named Traitor Trump.

In today’s episode, I talk about the hypocrisy of Donald Trump. And the dangerous game he’s playing with American and Iranian lives. He doesn’t give a damn about any of the civilians who will die in a full-fledged war.

He must be stopped. This is to the point where it’s treason against our country. Someone has to hold him accountable. He doesn’t get to just do as he pleases, with no respect for the rule of law.

Thank you for listening to this one. I value and appreciate you all. Let’s show this corrupt, orange dick-with-ears that we won’t be fucked with. We are strong when we unite for the greater good.

Our families’ lives depend on it. Please support my independent journalism if you have the means. For less than $5 monthly, you can help the Mouthy Militia defeat Trump’s fascist, bullshit agenda. Thank you!

Damn, it was a limp, impotent festival.

MAGA incels must not have gotten the memo. Perhaps they forgot where the exits from their mothers’ basements were. All I know is that the first Idaho Hetero Awesome Fest was a complete laughable failure. Talk about a sausage fest.

Crashed and burned, just like Trump’s dumpster fire of a second term.

I love this for them. It couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch of dick-smacks. Anyone going out of their way to mock and make fun of Pride Month deserves everything they have coming to them.

Including $50,000 in credit card debt. But more on that in today’s episode.

Thank you for giving this one a listen. I always appreciate y’all lending me your ears. Though I’m not feeling well because of lower back pain, I’m in a chipper mood. Shit like this brings an evil smile to my liberal face. &:^)
