The Renegade Writer's Mouthy Musings

I’m feeling somewhat peaceful today. Much more than usual, anyway. It’s a nice change of pace for once. I’m usually wound up pretty tight. Though I hide that from my family, it’s there, under the surface. I generally release my anger and hostility in my writing. Those political humor articles can get pretty fiery at times. I wrap it up in humor, but dammit, at times, I’m raging inside. In today’s...

I don’t know how some of y’all do it. I couldn’t imagine being with someone who supports Donald Trump. At this stage of his abysmally shitty second term, only the worst people in America are still supporting the Orange Rapist. I couldn’t, in good conscience, stay with someone who sings the praises of an unintelligent, criminal, child-rapist. I don’t know too many people who could. In today’s podca...

I published 750 articles in 2025. I have recorded and released a podcast every day of the year. I’ve posted close to 10,000 Notes this year on Substack. I participated in three local political protests against Donald Trump. And it still isn’t enough, goddamn it. I have to do more. Do it better. Be even more fiery and angry. I can’t let off the gas pedal for even a minute in my fight against Traito...

It would be wonderful to fully redact these two assbags here on Christmas. Sadly, I’m still seeing a ton of Trump posts and stories here on Substack. Hell, I’ve posted a couple of them myself. No judgment here. But I’m trying to get them out of my system and focus on the festivities of the day and family. But damn, it’s difficult. He demands so much of our attention daily. I hope Santa Reaper visi...

I feel that something is changing. Big changes are coming. Shit is happening here on Christmas Eve. This Epstein files BS is getting freakier by the day. Momentum is building. The evil that the Pedophile President becomes more and more apparent by the day. His guilt becomes more obvious as further details are released. He’s not going to be able to dodge justice or the Grim Reaper forever. This win...

I’m not feeling the Christmas spirit, some 48 hours from the big day. And I blame the deplorable child-rapist in the White House for it. As additional information is being made public daily about the Epstein files, it just gets more and more depressing. It’s gross as fuck hearing about all of the things the Chutney Chomo was doing to young girls. If there’s a Hell, he will burn in it for eternity....

Holy Hell, what an interesting morning I had. My mother sent me a link to an article about my great-grandpa Joe. I never knew him, but she did. Evidently, he was a bootlegger during the Prohibition era. I’d never heard this before. The article was badass. I realized right away that he was a Mouthy Renegade, too. I had no idea that it ran in the family. I pride myself on being very outspoken, in a...

To Hell with Traitor Trump and all of his ignorant bullshit. I cover that orange dick-with-ears 24-7 all year long. It can be a lot. It wears on my mental health constantly. Generally, I just power through it and deal with the dark, moody shit the best I can. Well, no more. I’ve done some things to minimize it in the past couple of weeks. And I’ll continue to do so until Christmas. In today’s podc...

“You curse too much.” “You shouldn’t write about that topic.” “That’s not something you should joke about.” Tough shit. I do what I want. The End. I can handle my business just fine. Two decades on social media and four years as a writer have made it much easier. My favorite finger gets plenty of exercise, damn near daily. Thank you for always standing up for me, Middle Finger. And hitting that bl...

“Can you believe what Donald Trump just said/did?” Of course, I can. He’s the biggest fuckwit on the planet, and he’s been that way since birth. It drives me nuts when people act so shocked about his latest drama-of-the-day. I talk about this “Trump Outrage Syndrome” that so many suffer from in today’s podcast episode. I don’t see how so many seem so shocked by what Traitor Trump says and does eve...

People blaming Donald Dick being a douchebag on his dementia have it all wrong. He was never a nice, well-mannered person to start with. Quite the opposite, in fact. President Biden never acted like Orange Foolius in any way, despite claims from the MAGA GOP and Trump himself that he was suffering from dementia. So don’t blame The Count of Mostly Crisco’s dementia for making him act like an angry,...

Ok, I had no idea that Michael Myers from Halloween was going to join us for this chat. Fortunately, he didn’t stick around long. K.R. showed him who’s boss, off camera, and away we went. Mooch and I had a wonderful time bullshitting with my close friend and all of our wonderful Mouthy Militia friends! We chatted about writing, Substack, family stuff, the holidays, cooking, and even that orange di...

I don’t even need to watch Traitor Trump’s bullshit speech tonight to know what he’s planning to do next. And I refuse to contribute to higher ratings. I’m skipping it. And what’s the point, honestly? All he does is lie and gaslight during his Seizure Salad speeches. He rambles on about bullshit, and we all theorize how he’d be better off in a dementia ward. The guy has almost nothing left of his...

I’m so damn tired of people thinking that Donald Dick isn’t in control of the things he says and does. His outrageous, vile tweet about Rob Reiner’s murder is sickening. He and his wife didn’t deserve their deaths caused by their son. And Spray-Tan Shitler certainly shouldn’t have turned it into a hateful political rant, claiming that their “Trump Derangement Syndrome” contributed to it. But don’t...

It’s so damn true. The worst people we know in real life share so many deplorable traits as Spray Tan Shitler. I realized this when I published a poem I wrote during my first year as a writer. I re-read it recently and couldn’t believe how it sounded as though I was talking about the Leaning Tower of Treason. It was uncanny. Mine was written about a woman. An evil ex. And it made me laugh how much...

I remember that expression from my Dad preaching it from the pulpit: “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Damn, I feel that in my bones. I often feel like I’m living the Bill Murray movie “Groundhog Day” much of the time. I stay in my lane, sticking to my routine. So much so that it starts feeling like I’ll never reach my goals, though I’m working so hard to make them happen. Anyone els...

Allowing Donald Trump to control our lives daily is inexcusable. I was thinking about this today. I saw a reminder in the mail about how life moves on regardless of the stupid crap that Combover Caligula brings to the headlines constantly. I hate him with the fire of a million suns, but one thing is certain: I’m not allowing that orange dick-with-ears to control my level of happiness. I talk about...

Man, sometimes I really feel my age. Especially during these stressful times we find ourselves in, under Traitor Trump. I’m a pretty feisty fella at age 51. My mental age is much lower than that, as I love to joke and kid around about everything. But then, my body reminds me of the age I’m at. Especially with past injuries to my lower back. Carpet cleaning was rough work. I’m paying for it these d...

Damn, that was fun! Especially with no advance notice or warning. Hell, I didn’t even realize I was going to do another Live until I got home about 20 minutes beforehand. And it came out great, because Y’all joined in and made it fun. I appreciate our Mouthy Militia more than you know. I needed a mood improvement, and this was that and then some. Thank you guys for participating in it with me. We...

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been ordered to be released from ICE custody. This is amazing news. I need to fixate on positive things like this more than constantly shit-talking Traitor Trump. Now we’ll see if said traitor actually allows his release. You can’t count on Spray Tan Shitler to ever do the right thing or follow the rule of law. US district judge Paula Xinis stated in her Thursday order: “S...

Man, it’s been a tough day, Y’all. A week, actually. Honestly, the past few have been rough. I’ve been trying to shake it off since this all started, but today has been particularly rough. I hate to admit it, but the constant negativity that surrounds Traitor Trump wears on me. It affects my moods negatively. Especially when I write and podcast about him constantly. I’m tired. In today’s podcast e...

I hate when people try to deny how racist the United States of America is. Generally, that’s the MAGA crowd trying to downplay how shitty their racist, bigoted, sexist president is. He has to be the most openly racist politician we’ve had in the past 40 or 50 years. There’s nobody even close to second place. That's because he just says whatever comes to his tiny, syphillis-riddled brain. He’s like...

Talk about a goddamn snowflake… Someone call him a WAHHHmbulance, already. Traitor Trump is always whining and crying about bullshit. It’s exhausting having to watch the supposed leader of the free world acting like a petulant toddler. He must have no self-esteem whatsoever. It’s probably because he’s hung like a pimple. The Tangerine Twatsicle was ranting and raving at the ass-crack of dawn about...

“Why don’t you just leave, already?” I get asked that constantly. And I’m not gonna lie, it’s pretty annoying most of the time. I have my reasons. And they’re good ones. Sometimes, I share them in my writing or in these podcast episodes. Other times, I ignore the question. But rest assured, I have valid reasons for not just packing up a moving truck and driving to bluer pastures tomorrow. I’ll sha...

“I don’t want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need…” Mariah Carey’s overplayed Christmas song has me thinking. I really don’t want a bunch of bullshit things for the holidays. I have enough stuff. If I could just make one wish, it would be that this Trumptopian nightmare were over with, already. I feel that it’s coming soon. I have July 4th, 2026, chosen in our Trump Demise Date off...
