Paid Subscribers, enjoy access to this week’s Unholy Ground, my Lincoln Square show with Sam Osterhout. Subscribers who prefer to skim can find a transcript at the Transcript button beneath the video. We spend a lot of time in t…

Paid Subscribers! Please join me today at noon eastern via Substack LIVE. I haven’t done a just-me Substack LIVE in months. Please stop by and say hi. Ask questions. Make observations. It’s a chance for us to connect and share what we believe is coming in the weeks and months ahead. JOIN US! Last week, Doug Wilson plopped his meat sack in front of another microphone/camera and said only Christian men should be allowed to vote for their households.

TOMORROW. 15 July 2026. Noon eastern. Substack LIVE with ME. I haven’t done a just-me hangout with subscribers in months. I hope you’ll join me tomorrow. I’ll answer your questions, share your thoughts, and tackle what I think is coming in the weeks ahead. JOIN US! The World Cup ends on 19 July 2026. Five days from now.

Over the past twenty-four hours, people have had lots to say about Lindsey Graham, former senior Senator from South Carolina who died over the weekend. I lived in South Carolina for fifty-two years. He was my senior Senator since 2002, and I haven’t said much. Human beings are still being disappeared to the tune of 2,000 per day. Russ Vought is still destroying the federal government while his boss loots it. Billionaires are still coordinating with regime traitors to rig the midterms.

Please enjoy my conversation with Evan Hurst. He ran this at The Moral High Ground earlier this week. In case you missed it (or don’t subscribe to Evan - and YOU SHOULD), I’m sharing it today. As always, readers who prefer to skim can find a transcript at the Transcript button below the video. Subscribe to The Moral High Ground at the link below.

Many thanks to Bryan C. Del Monte for giving us a peek into how our Department of Defense and intelligence communities used to work. I hope everyone learns from this informative conversation. As always, those who prefer to skim a transcript can find one at the Transcript button below the video.

What gave me HOPE this week: I’m sharing one news-related hope and one personal hope. News-related HOPE: US District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, who presided over E. Jean Carroll’s lawsuits against undear leader for assaulting and defaming her. Judge Kaplan is showing every American how to be a patriot: By upholding the rule of law, no matter the personal cost. Freedom is threaded through citizens like Judge Kaplan. Every person like him gives me hope.

Substack is aggressively throttling progressive/left-leaning reach. In Spring 2025, I wrote about my growth plateau. I went from generating over 1,000 new subscribers per month via Substack to net-zero. Other Substackers shared their very-similar-looking plateaus. We talked about it across Substack, who denied it it was happening.

Today’s newsletter isn’t about Doug Wilson’s comments to a female Muslim reporter. I dropped a clip below in case anyone missed it: I was not hysterical. I was not exaggerating. Project 2025 has always been a plan that would lead to a nation where only White Christian men and their billionaire overlords would rule AND be the only ones who vote. Readers who found me in 2024 aren’t blindsided today. Please help me stay in this chair. If you can afford to, click the button below and upgrade to paid.
