Substack Launch: Let's do this!

Hey guys. Sorry if you got a notification I had a video up. I opened a blaster of illusions and I somehow recorded it in slow motion making an 8 minute video 49 mins. I feel dumb. I’ll post “my hits” as soon as my daughter wraps up her basketball season. They are currently 0-7. Will they win the final game? I’m taking action on the game now. I’ll have a pod up later for my payers.

Substack is the only platform not currently owned by a billionaire, and I have full editorial control over my content.

It’s why I’m here. Thank you all for joining me.

Let’s redefine the future of media in America, together.

The problem with Social Security isn't "fraud."

The problem with Social Security is that as the rich have gotten richer, more of their income has escaped the cap on the SS payroll tax.

In fact, millionaires stop paying SS taxes today.

We can fix this by scrapping the cap.

AIPAC’s grip on Congress is a beast—$100 million post-October 7, 2023, and 96% of lawmakers on its leash. If it’s the top dog, Israel’s influence is way out of whack. Here’s the raw deal: Israel’s hit the U.S. harder than Iran’s overhyped “boogeyman” status suggests.

Our #sharedcasserole series kicks off with a classic: Chicken Cobbler

Being a legal advocate is something incredibly important, not only to me individually and professionally, but for the sake of our current legal climate.

There is a constant rush to judgment.

The rights of the many are compromised by the elected few.

People are not only unaware of their rights, but most of the time, they aren’t even aware that they are giving them away so freely, without consent.

Do you know who you would call today if something catastrophic occurred in your life or in the life of someone you care for?

Evangelicalism had way more fear baked into it than we realized—fear of “the world,” fear of getting it wrong, fear of hell.

So much of what we were taught—evangelism, behavior modification, even Bible study—wasn’t about encountering the beauty, peace, and radical love of God. It was about defending against an enemy.

We weren’t learning how to love—we were learning how to fight. And now, actual empathy gets treated as a threat.

It’s heartbreaking. But I think more people are starting to wake up to it.

If You Don't Care About The Ukrainian People, You're Not Pro-Life

I was told be a Trump supporter that if “I don’t like what Donald Trump is doing to the country that I should leave.”

No, I don’t think so. Instead, I’m gonna take back Congress and impeach the piece of sh*t.

how i feel when reading a substack post

The presumption of innocence is a sacred right afforded to ALL individuals arrested in this country.

That is not an opinion, it is a fact.

We are plagued by a rush to judgment before someone even steps foot into a courtroom.

Once a verdict is read, however long the process takes, the public must trust that the system worked the way it was intended.

You are entitled to your opinions, not your own set of facts. You, as the general public, will NEVER know the full facts of a case. The media will nev…

Trump and Vance beclowned themselves in their meeting with Zelenskyy. They came across as weak, petty little bullies. Zelenskyy’s position will now be strengthened around the globe while America continues to sink further and further into disrepute.

Hi Friends,

I’m on Substack! When we started posting on social media I spent a lot more time writing than I do today. There has been a shift towards shorter captions, shorter videos, fast moving frames, etc. I’ve been craving a place to slow the pace a little bit, get back to writing, pondering, discussing, sharing different photos, recip…

Jasmine Crockett called out House Republicans for not admitting Russia invaded Ukraine.

Few are as vocal as Jasmine. This is true leadership.

The nature of a cult is that it will turn you against your own family. Your loved ones will cheer as you are led off to the camps because hurting even you is what is necessary to bring on the glorious nation.

Dear World,

I apologize. We have a Russian asset in the White House. Trump stands with Putin. He doesn’t stand with Ukraine, NATO or the free world. Many, many, many of us Americans apologize profusely for this.

Sincerely,

A Ukraine-Supporting, NATO-Supporting American

Another day, another Trumpster fire.

Fink and BlackRock continue to cater to the CEO class along with Vanguard, Fidelity and the other large asset houses. They continue to embrace stock option compensation and increasing CEO pay that is wildly out of wack from the average worker. I spend considerable time each proxy season going over the statements of the modest holdings in my portfolio. Most of the time I vote no on the advisory compensation question. ESG is tarred because of the Environmental and Social part of the triad when it is Governance that is the most important (at least to me).
