You’re Getting a Raise. So Why Are They Still Fear‑Mongering Social Security?

“You’re getting a raise… and they’re still fear‑mongering Social Security.”That pretty much sums up where we are right now. For 2026, Social Security checks are going up, not down. The Social…

  • The Time I almost went to Denver Cares

    /

    25 years ago. T&T, my friends Tim and I were on the 16th Street Mall in Denver, Colorado, passing around a ‘GaterVod’ when we all had to go up to the second-floor restroom. We were in there a little too long because in came a security guard came in and told us to move on. I had just enough in me to tell him “Wait a minute dickweed” and had heard just enough from me. “Wait here, I’m calling Detox”! Oh crap! What, oh, come on man. So we waited outside in front of the Cinemas waiting, and talking. By the time the Denver Care van came, we could have…

  • The Proof Is In the Water

    /

    In the dead of night, the Navy destroyer cut its engines. Silent steel in the Caribbean, waiting. The cartel boats thought the water was theirs. They didn’t know the trap was already set. By dawn, they were surrounded—fiberglass hulls built for speed, not oceans. The Coast Guard offloaded 49,010 pounds of cocaine—street value $362 million. That’s not rumor. That’s not speculation. That’s barrels of powder pulled from the sea. And yet, headlines still claim “no proof.” As if the water itself didn’t testify. As if the destroyer’s wake didn’t carve evidence into the waves. You can stir it, you can muddy it, but you can’t hide what floats to the…

  • I Live in a Shed

    /

    I live in a shed. Not the kind you’re picturing with lawnmowers and rakes—this one’s insulated, finished inside, and built to be home. I made the Murphy bed myself from a kit. There’s a bathroom with a shower and a macerating toilet, a vanity, a mini fridge, and an oak dining table. Solar panels on the roof keep the lights humming, and a 55‑inch TV keeps me connected. Fifty feet away, my daughter and granddaughter live in the house. I go in and out all the time. My shed gives me independence, but family is always right there. It’s freedom and connection, side by side. Out here in the county,…

  • Seattle Is In Trouble.

    /

    Is Socialism Coming to a City Near You? 🏛️ Government Can’t Run a Business Seattle’s leaders are flirting with socialism under the banner of “equity.” Katie Wilson is pushing for city‑run grocery stores — a “public option” to replace private chains. In New York, Zohran Mamdani wants rent freezes and government‑subsidized groceries. Both claim the private market isn’t serving low‑income families. But history tells us what happens when government tries to run business: The pattern is clear: government ventures lose money, private industry adapts and thrives. Subsidized grocery stores will be no different. Taxpayers will foot the bill, consumers will still pay inflated prices, and inefficiency will rule the day.…

  • They’re Not Teaching Soldiers — They’re Sewing Doubt

    /

    In November 2025, six Democratic lawmakers with military and intelligence backgrounds released a video telling U.S. service members they “can and must refuse unlawful orders.” 📌 The Facts The lawmakers included Senators Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly, along with Representatives Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan. Their message: Troops swear allegiance to the Constitution, not to any president, and therefore should refuse illegal commands. The timing: Controversy over U.S. military strikes against alleged drug‑carrying vessels in the Caribbean and Pacific, which raised questions about legality. The fallout: President Trump blasted the video as “seditious” and warned that encouraging refusal of orders could itself be punishable. ⚖️ The…

  • Fetterman Fell. The Internet Faceplanted.

    /

    Senator John Fetterman suffered a heart rhythm flare-up, fell, and received 20 stitches. He’s now recovering at home. That’s the real story. But online? The moment his face hit the pavement, the internet hit the gas pedal on fiction. 🔍 The Greatest Hits of Conspiracy Theater The Schumer Doctor Drop They say Chuck Schumer sent a doctor to drug Fetterman. No evidence. No logic. Just vibes. The Clone Theory They say Fetterman has a body double. That he’s been replaced. That the real one is gone. Fetterman himself mocked this theory in a video—because it’s that absurd. The Stroke Cover-Up Some claim this wasn’t a heart issue—it was a second…

  • The Climate Clock Is a Grift

    /

    They say we have six years left. They’ve been saying that since Al Gore lost the presidency and found a new stage. The climate countdown resets every few years, but the beachfront property keeps selling. The private jets keep flying. The panic keeps paying. Let’s Rewind The Earth has been warming for over 18,000 years—since the last ice age ended. That’s not a conspiracy. That’s geology. We’re living in an interglacial period, and the climate has always changed. But now, change is treated like a catastrophe. And catastrophe is treated like cash flow. Al Gore said the Arctic would be ice-free by 2013. It wasn’t. He warned of a 20-foot…

  • What They Buried in Speaker Johnson’s “Clean” CR

    /

    They called it a “clean” Continuing Resolution. I heard the lie day after day.But buried in the fine print of Speaker Mike Johnson’s CR was a ban on most hemp-derived products, deep cuts to SNAP benefits, and a fresh round of subsidies for megafarms.No debate. No headlines. Just a quiet, calculated maneuver to pass controversial policies under the cover of urgency.I watched one Senator admit it: he didn’t like what was in the bill, but if he didn’t vote yes, the government would stay shut down. That’s not negotiation. That’s coercion.The hemp ban alone could gut a $30 billion industry—one that includes small farmers, veterans, and entrepreneurs.This wasn’t a clean…

    When I was about 8 years old. We rented a house from the owners of an Antique store on the corner of Sitka street and State Avenue. I remember running behind my momma, trying to keep up with her. We walked about a mile, maybe a little less. I was a little boy you know. We walked into Kaija’s feed and walked out with a box full of baby chicks! I didn’t know what would become of those chicks at the end of the summer. Didn’t care right then. If momma told me we were going to eat them, I would have said, “Naw mom, your joshin me.” All summer,…

    “I was heading outside with my two dogs and getting ready to feed them. My daughter’s got four little ones of her own, so it’s always a busy scene when they’re all together.” “Dude’s got some real food insecurity, so we feed him outside by himself—makes mealtime a lot less stressful for everyone. Lady comes inside, and the four little dogs get their dinner served up in the kitchen. It’s a whole operation, but at least nobody’s battling over the kibble!” “‘Less stressful’ isn’t even the word for it. When we first got Dude, he actually tried to eat my foot! He’s determined—‘No, you’re not getting my food,’ he seems…
