Friend of the Working Man
Really? Summary: Support for Donald Trump is not about policy; it’s a transaction born from 40 years of economic and cultural humiliation by both parties. Trump successfully channeled the resulting rage, selling a narrative where his supporters are forgotten heroes whose anger is righteous. Believing he is their weapon
Fools and Power
Summary for the time-constrained reader They give up power to retain power, it sounds crazy—it is. Our politicians are not just fools. They’re traitors. Trump didn’t take the GOP, the party surrendered. Democrats let Mitch McConnell steal the Court and called it “norms.” Biden promised to fight
Fox Lighted the Match
Fox News and the Industrialization of American Collapse Summary: Fox News didn’t invent collapse—it monetized it. By 1996, the country was primed: racism repackaged as “law and order,” wages flat, towns gutted, trust shattered by Vietnam and Watergate. Reagan’s 1987 repeal of the Fairness Doctrine stripped truth
It Wasn't Me
First it was Colbert, but it wasn’t me. Then it was Kimmel, but it wasn’t me. A joke cut, a contract torn, a stage gone dark. The answer is always the same: a shrug, a technicality, a coincidence. It wasn’t me. It’s never me. Say it
TikTok is on a Pathogenetic Path
Vaccine Hesitancy
How Russia Turned Vaccines into a Weapon Against Democracy For the Time-Constrained Reader Putin didn’t need secret meetings or kompromat. He didn’t need Trump as a puppet or Kennedy as an agent. He needed a lever — something that would split Americans from one another, rewire trust, and make
The Halfway House
Home About Become a Member Share Summary Halfway House is a blunt look at the gap between punishment and freedom in the United States. It’s not a story of rehabilitation so much as a holding pen—where people who have already served their time are kept in limbo, monitored,
Trump’s War on the Fed
The Trump White House went after Lisa Cook like it was a gang hit. She’s a Federal Reserve governor—appointed for 14 years, removable only for cause. That firewall was built for moments like this: to keep politicians from grabbing the wheel of monetary policy. Trump wanted her out
The Breeding Ranch
Summary: Jeffrey Epstein reportedly pitched a “breeding ranch” in New Mexico—twenty women at a time carrying his children—an idea multiple scientists said he floated in the early 2000s [1]. There’s no evidence it happened. He already had mansions, Little Saint James, and, later, Great Saint James to
Rate Cuts Won't Save Jobs
Summary The Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in September, but meaningful relief won’t come in time. August produced just 22,000 jobs, unemployment rose to 4.3%, and structural layoffs are surging—tech alone cut 89,251 jobs, 36% more than last year. Small businesses report no credit
PrumpTutin's Fortress
A note from Joe: You spoke. I listened. Shocking, I know. The poll results are in, and you've sentenced me to Tuesdays and Fridays. Maybe Sundays if the mood strikes or the world does something particularly stupid. Which, let's face it, happens most Sundays. A few
Killing Voters
Summary for the time-constrained reader: Excuses don’t keep people alive. They just shorten the voting rolls. We’ve gone backward since free COVID shots and free test kits. Now you need a doctor’s visit, a bill, and often a fight you can’t afford. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
We Were Warned
A note from Joe: You spoke. I listened. Shocking, I know. The poll results are in, and you've sentenced me to Tuesdays and Fridays. Maybe Sundays if the mood strikes or the world does something particularly stupid. Which, let's face it, happens most Sundays. A few
Taxes are not for the Rich
The Regressive Lie Summary: The United States tax system is a con dressed up as progressivism. On paper, brackets climb to 37 percent. In practice, billionaires pay less than nurses. They don’t take wages, they borrow against assets, live tax-free, and pass fortunes untouched through the step-up basis. Payroll
Socrates Would Have Hated AI
Summary: Socrates distrusted writing because it froze ideas, allowing people to look wise without doing the work of thought. He believed truth came only through dialogue—messy, difficult, communal. Today, we live in the echo of his warning. Our dialectic is flattened into hashtags, clips, and algorithms that reward noise
Keeping up with Tesla
Blind Ambition Elon Musk thinks he can teach a machine to see. Not just see—understand. Judge. Navigate. React. All using nothing but cameras. No lidar. No radar. Just a nervous system of cheap lenses and machine learning stitched together to form a pair of eyes smarter than yours. That&
The End of the Beginning
Norms aren't laws. Laws aren't locks. Fear is the new currency. Summary: Trump didn't bend government—he broke it over his knee and rebuilt it as a weapon. Schedule F gutted civil service. Federal troops patrol American streets. Courts terrorized into compliance. Media outlets
PrumpTutin News is Sadly All the Same
Summary Trump’s tell isn’t subtle—it’s a foghorn. Whatever he accuses others of, he’s already done himself. Election fraud? He’s on the phone begging Georgia to “find” votes. Nepotism? He turned the White House into a family timeshare. Leakers? He’s calling reporters as his
Trickle This
Summary: Trickle-down economics was always a lie. The 1950s boom Republicans worship was built on a 91% top tax rate, strong unions, and public investment—policies they now sneer at as socialism. High taxes forced the rich to reinvest in planes built, factories expanded, workers paid. Reagan flipped it, slashing
Fear, Lies, and Distraction
His United States Summary: Trump's authoritarian strategy was straightforward: manufacture crime emergencies in Democratic cities, deploy federal forces as "rescue operations," then assert that local governance is conditional on his approval. Despite crime data showing D.C. at 30-year lows and the most dangerous cities located
The Flag Code
Summary for time constricted readers: In America, the flag is less a symbol of unity than a tool of spectacle and profit. From car dealerships to political rallies, its image is used to sell everything from trucks to ideologies—often in direct violation of the very Flag Code meant to
The Ostrich-in-Chief
Summary (for the time constrained): Each crisis that threatened to expose him was smothered under a new outrage, a new headline, a new chant. When Epstein’s papers confirmed his name, the strategy went into overdrive. A parade of phony scandals: Hunter’s laptop resurrection, border hysteria with recycled footage,
The Corrupt Leading the Blind
Summary: Modern authoritarian takeovers don't need tanks—they need personnel departments. While everyone watches for obvious fascism, the real coup happens through systematic replacement of competent officials with unqualified loyalists who owe everything to their benefactor. Trump fired inspectors general investigating his administration, sold ambassadorships for donations, and
