In the past few months, the administration has launched what can only be described as a full-scale attack on government oversight. At least 17 inspectors general—the people whose literal job is to investigate fraud, abuse, and corruption—were abruptly fired. These independent watchdogs exist to make sure the government isn’t running on vibes alone. They’re basically the referees of democracy, and the administration just tossed them out like a toddler flipping a chessboard.

The FBI doesn’t need Dana White’s bullshit fight club. It needs leadership that isn’t actively trying to turn federal law enforcement into a fucking ATM for Trump’s rich friends. These guys step into a cage and beat the absolute shit out of each other while Dana White sits in a luxury box, counting money like the Monopoly Man—if the Monopoly Man also smacked his wife on camera. And now, we’re supposed to believe this guy is the key to improving national security? Give me a fucking break.

If there was ever a singular, grotesque image that encapsulated the absolute moral vacuum of Donald Trump’s worldview, it’s this AI-generated monstrosity of a “redeveloped” Gaza. A video so dripping with greed, tone-deafness, and sheer sociopathy that it makes you wonder if we’ve completely abandoned the idea of human decency.

In this vision—crafted not by urban planners, not by diplomats, not by anyone remotely tethered to reality, but by artificial intelligence at the behest of an artificial leader—Gaza is no longer a home to millions of displaced, suffering Palestinians. No, in Trump’s deranged fever dream, it’s been cleared out and reimagined as a beachfront paradise for the ultra-rich. A new stomping ground for oligarchs, arms dealers, and the kind of people who complain when their personal chef under-seasons their $500 Wagyu steak…

I was arguing with strangers on Twitter when my mind wandered to death—not in a dramatic, existential way, but in that casual "let’s run an inventory of all the dead people I’ve known" way. Fun.

Memory is strange like that. It doesn’t ask permission; it just drops in unannounced, pulling up moments you haven’t thought about in years. My father once told me that the dead never really leave, that they stick around in small ways—forgotten voicemails, old text messages, a habit you picked up from them that you don’t realize isn’t yours. Maybe that’s true. Maybe that’s why I still talk to him sometimes, just to hear the echo of a response I know will never come.

Movies have always been special to me. From childhood memories of The Land Before Time to sneaking into a screening of Unforgiven, the big screen has shaped how I see the world. There’s something about sitting in a darkened theater, surrounded by strangers, experiencing a story unfold together—it’s magic. But as life gets busier, those moments become rarer. Still, every now and then, a movie comes along that reminds me why they matter. And this weekend, I’m making time for one that feels more important than most.

Politicians lie. Not occasionally. Not accidentally. But as a fundamental job requirement.

And we don’t just tolerate it—we reward it. The best political careers aren’t built on policy or principles; they’re built on who can lie the most convincingly, the most often, and with the straightest face.

From the earliest days of the republic to modern-day disinformation cycles, deception isn’t a flaw in the system—it is the system. And we keep falling for it.

So how did lying become America’s favorite political pastime? And more importantly, why does it keep working?

Click to read the full breakdown—because if we’re going to be lied to, we might as well understand how the game is played.

Ranked Choice Voting is like turning election day into a playoff game. Instead of picking just one candidate and being stuck with them, you get to rank your choices. If your top pick doesn’t make it, your vote moves to your second choice—just like a playoff system where the underdog gets another shot. It’s not just about voting smarter—it's about breaking free from the two-party trap and making sure your vote actually counts, no matter who wins.

Trump saw Gaza’s devastation and thought, “Great spot for a resort.” His plan? Clear out two million Palestinians, slap a hotel on the rubble, and call it the Riviera of the Middle East. And Jared Kushner, fresh off his $2 billion Saudi payday, calls it “valuable waterfront property”—which is a hell of a way to describe a war zone. Read more before they list it on Zillow.

The U.S. slaped massive tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China over the weekend, thinking it's a genius move to stop illegal immigration and drug trafficking. Because, obviously, taxing maple syrup and avocados is the key to solving complex social issues. What happens next? Global markets panic, allies retaliate, and suddenly, we’re the ones taking the economic gut punch. If you’ve ever wanted to see a nation attempt to ‘own’ its trade partners and end up getting suplexed by its own policies, welcome to the tariff wars…

Why are eggs suddenly so expensive? Did the chickens unionize? Is there an underground egg cartel? Or are we just getting scammed—again? While companies blame supply chain issues and bird flu, the real reason might crack you up (or enrage you). Spoiler: It’s not about inflation. It’s about corporations seizing every opportunity to gouge you while politicians put on a show and do nothing. Welcome to Eggflation—another crisis turned cash grab.

Ah yes, the Trump administration has decided that regulating industries is just too much work—so why not just delete them wholesale? Enter the 10-for-1 rule: for every new regulation, ten must be sacrificed. Because who needs consumer protections when we can just let corporations pinky-promise they’ll behave? It’s the legislative equivalent of throwing out your entire fridge because one yogurt expired. Will this unleash prosperity or just unleash a tidal wave of lead-filled tap water, collapsing bridges, and financial scams? Dive in before basic safety regulations become a thing of the past.

Trump isn’t governing—he’s settling scores. The FBI? Purged. Immigrants? Rounded up. Teachers? Turned into snitches. The law? Whatever he says it is. Welcome to the Trumpocracy, where revenge runs the country and accountability is the real enemy

America has looked itself in the mirror and said, ‘You know what this country needs? More expensive groceries and fewer jobs.’ With a 25% tariff on all goods from Mexico and Canada, we’re not just flirting with economic disaster—we’re swiping right on it. Farmers will watch their crops rot, prices will skyrocket, and the global economy will treat us like the Titanic post-iceberg. But hey, on the bright side, we can all take up gardening—homegrown tomatoes might soon be the only currency we have left….

Satire used to exaggerate reality to make a point. Today, reality does all the work. When politicians blame 'wokeness' for a midair collision instead of deregulation, and corporations silence comedians for being too accurate, satire isn’t about creating absurdity—it’s about documenting it. The real joke isn’t what satirists say. It’s that the powerful keep proving them right.

I tried the grind. The morning affirmations, the endless webinars, the cold calls that made me feel like I was running a Ponzi scheme with extra steps. But no matter how much I "optimized my funnel" or "leveraged my personal brand," one thing became clear: the system doesn’t reward honesty—it rewards the loudest, slickest, most aggressive.

Success, as they sell it, isn’t about offering value. It’s about convincing others they need you before they realize they don’t. And if you refuse to play that game? You’re not a "disruptor," you’re just… unemployed.

So no, I wasn’t a good entrepreneur. But I was an honest one. And if you’re tired of being told you’re just one productivity hack away from crushing it, you might enjoy my latest piece. Read more here…
