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.
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.
Did anyone else see the horrific display in the Oval Office last Friday as a ritual exercise in male domination? I don’t want to insult great apes, but I’ve seen similar performances at the zoo. Trump and Vance sought to humiliate Zelensky, treating him with the same disrespect they treat … well, women.

Regardless of RFK Jr being confirmed as HHS secretary, I will continue to provide evidence based health education on social media. We need more helpers now more than ever.
I wish every living former U.S. President would stand up, hold a press conference, and tell the world Trump’s treatment of Zelensky is not right. Who’s with me?

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.

Most people will do anything to avoid being alone with their thoughts. They drown themselves in entertainment, distractions, mindless scrolling. They're running from themselves. But solitude is where the strongest minds are forged. Learn to be alone. It's a superpower.
it’s important to understand the centrality of male dominance and misogyny to Trump’s world — and to connect this to what other authoritarians and neofascists are doing around the globe.

I encourage everyone interested in America’s place in the world to read this — extraordinary analysis and presentation of the facts. Also, I just donated to one of the charities he lists at the end. I think it would be a good idea for as many of as possible to do the same, send a powerful message that we, the American people, stand with Ukraine and democracy against Putin and tyranny.
Les Wonderhammer,
Petty Nemesis extraordinaire
He’s not strong
He’s not smart
He procrastinates
Let’s peak in on what stupid thing he is doing today…
(Camera drops down from a focus on the fluffy clouds to the fifth floor picture window of an old brick apartment building)
Once upon a time in a small, quiet town along the Mississippi lived Les Wonderhammer. Les was a peculiar character, often described as the "Petty Nemesis Extraordinaire." He wasn't strong, nor particularly smart, and he had an uncanny knack for procrastination.
One sunny Tuesday, when most people were busy working or going about their daily chores, Les decided it was the perfect day for something incredibly... silly. He woke up, stretched lazily, and grinned mischievously to himself as an idea began to hatch in his mind.
Today, Les would embark on a secret mission to mildly inconvenience his arch-enemy, Betty the Baker.
After dressing in his finest (and only) superhero costume, Les left his small, stale apartment with a spring in his step. He marched confidently toward Betty's bakery, formulating his plan along the way.
Upon arriving at the bakery, Les slipped unnoticed into the back alley. He stealthily approached the large green trash bins, took a deep breath, and began moving the black trash bags ever so slightly out of their usual positions. A few inches here, a few inches there, just enough to disrupt Betty's routine when she came to take out the trash later that day.
Satisfied with his dastardly devious deed, Les wiped his bushy brow and walked back toward the front of the bakery. He entered the cozy shop, where the aroma of freshly baked bread and pastries greeted him. Betty stood behind the counter, unaware of the scheme that had just unfolded.
"Good morning, Les," Betty said with a warm smile. "The usual croissant and coffee for you today?"
“Yes, please,” Les murmured, cautiously glancing at the other patrons seated at the counter.
Betty pored his warm, weak coffee into a plastic cup, stirring in three teaspoons of sugar along with a quarter cup of creamer.
“Here you go Les, one coffee and croissant as ordered” Betty said.
Les returned the smile, feeling a twinge of guilt. "Thank You” he replied, knowing that his actions would soon cause his unsuspecting enemy a moment of confusion and frustration.
As Les savored his flaky croissant and sipped his tepid coffee, he couldn't help but feel a mix of pride and shame. Perhaps his antics were a bit foolish, and maybe he could be putting his talents to better use.
Still, Les Wonderhammer knew that deep down, he was just a simple man trying to make his mark on the world - one mild inconvenience at a time.
