The app for independent voices
Hey Friends, I’m here of Substack, and here is why I decided to leave MSNBC and go 100% independent with all my content.
Podcast posting in the morning.
We’ll be covering a guy who reached out to me about 80 Boxes of cards he found.
Thoughts about Topps Series 1
What does “Old School Cards” mean to you when you hear that

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.

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.
For the rest of my life, I will never understand how a country full of people busting their asses, working paycheck to paycheck, allow the fucking richest guy on Earth to call them "parasites" while calling the Social Security we contributed to our entire lives "a Ponzi scheme."
Un-fucking-real.

The media asking Zelenskyy if he wants to apologize to Trump is everything wrong with the media. They should be asking if Trump wants to apologize to Zelenskyy. Most Americans are humiliated at the trash behavior by Trump and JD in the Oval.

Marketing isn’t all on your shoulders. More than 50% of all new free subscriptions and 25% of paid subscriptions come from within our network.
Zelenskys support in Ukraine went up 15 points to 67 after the Oval Office meeting.

Democracy doesn’t die in darkness, it dies behind a paywall.
That’s why all of my news will ALWAYS be free. The more people are empowered with knowledge the better.
I can’t stand when news companies make people pay for news. My decision may not be the most business savvy, but times are too important to do anything otherwise.
Ever wonder why your uncle who barely finished high school and lives alone in the woods is suddenly an expert on global politics? Blame social media. It screws with vulnerable people—those with less education or who are socially isolated. Social media is highly predatory.
Limited media literacy: People with less education don’t always have the best BS detectors. They see “Aliens Built the Pyramids” and go, “Huh, that makes sense.” Social media’s a minefield for them—crap everywhere and no shovel.
Social isolation: Lonely folks hit social media looking for friends. Next thing you know, they’re in some group swearing the moon landing was fake. They just wanted a buddy, not a tinfoil hat club. Sad, right?
Algorithmic amplification: Algorithms are like, “Oh, you liked that one nutty post? Here’s ten more!” It’s a rabbit hole. Traps people in their own weird little world, and good luck dragging them back to reality.
Emotional manipulation: Misinformation hits you in the feels—fear, anger, whatever. If you’re already down or pissed, you’re easy prey for the nonsense. It’s like the internet knows you’re having a bad day and piles on.
Targeted propaganda: Politicians and sketchy groups tailor their BS just for you. They know you’re isolated or not super educated, so they send personalized junk. Like spam mail, but it’s lies instead of diet pills.
Now, politicians exploit this: Populist rhetoric. “Elites are screwing you over!” they yell. If you’re feeling left out, that’s gold. You’re like, “Yeah, someone gets me!” Spoiler: They don’t. They just want your vote.
Targeted campaigns: They use social media to feed you what you wanna hear. “Hate taxes? Taxes suck, here’s why!” Doesn’t matter if it’s true—just keep clicking. It’s brain junk food, and you’re eating it up.
Exploitation of distrust: “Don’t trust the media, trust me!” they say. If you already think the system’s rigged, you’re nodding along. “This guy’s got my back!” Nah, he’s just got your attention. Big difference.
So next time your cousin shares some wild theory, maybe send ‘em a book or buy ‘em a beer. Get ‘em off the internet for five minutes. They’re not dumb—just stuck in a machine built to mess with ‘em. And politicians? They’re just riding the wave.
