The Renegade Writer's Mouthy Musings

It’s official. Our Mouthy Mooch is on drugs. I’m sort of jealous.

But I’m talking about the good type. She’s not rolling joints or snorting anything. In fact, she’s not even taking them voluntarily. I had to hide the first pill for her Cushing’s Disease medication inside a piece of shells and cheese.

She Hoovered it faster than Fatty Snorebucks on a Big Mac.

It got me thinking about prescription medication. I’ve never been on it before, other than for brief illnesses a few times in my life. I sta...

I’ve been struggling with several things lately.

They’ve negatively affected my mental health. I’ve had a difficult time this week. Though I’m strong-willed and generally fight through anything that comes my way, I’m human. It’s not always an easy life here in America, especially these past two years.

But at least I’m not a MAGA fuckwit. That makes me feel better when the chips are down.

I talk about this in today’s episode. Perhaps you can relate to the feeling of struggling and wondering if things will impr...

Man, today has been brutal.

I’m fairly used to the up-and-down nature of Substack. And the social media grind that comes with growing it. I pride myself on rarely being too up or too down in the efforts I make daily to grow this thing into a force to be reckoned with.

But once in a while, a few things go wrong at once. And it fucks with my head. I’m only human, after all.

I talk about what happened this morning and how it had me questioning this entire Substack thin...

What’s the point of having a 25th Amendment if we can’t use it to remove Dementia Donnie from office?

It seems like we can’t get rid of him for any reason, criminal or health-related. I hate that he gets away with fucking everything. It feels like because he’s always been a dick, he just gets away with his stupidity and crimes.

I’m over it. Since nobody on the MAGA GOP side wants to do what’s right, we’re left with waiting for his stupid ass to just die.

It’s taking...

That was sure as fun as I knew it would be.

I want to thank my two good friends, Sturg Writes It Down and Brandon Ellrich for having me as a guest on their podcast today. I knew it would be a great time being on “Tuesdays With Two Gays.” The three of us go way back to my first writing platform, Medium.

It was badass to catch up with the fellas. We shared articles and laughs, both. The quiz that Sturg gave us was a ton of fun.

I appreciate all of you...

Man, I cannot believe I’ve recorded a daily podcast for 730 days in a row.

I’ve never missed a day. Not when I had COVID, when we’ve been on vacation, or even on the sad day we had to put my father in an assisted living facility. Doing something like this daily for two straight years has been an undertaking.

At least I haven’t had to deal with an undertaker during the process. Death will probably be the only way I give up my daily recording streak.

But who knows? Perhaps...

I’m not gonna lie, I’m worried about the midterm election in two weeks.

Why? Several reasons. After 1/3 of Americans sat out the 2024 presidential election, you can’t just assume most people aren’t lazy and will do the right thing. We shouldn’t have been in this fucked up situation to begin with. Electing a child-raping fool never should have happened.

But here the fuck we are in 2026.

Still, something happened today that made me optimistic that maybe, just maybe, Americans are pissed off enough after two years of Pedolf Shitler 2.0 to actuall...

Traitor Trump needs a toddler leash.

Ever seen kids being paraded around like dogs at the mall? That’s the point we’re at here in America. But instead of a small child, we’re talking about the Tangerine Toddler. I mean, he does throw a lot of big baby fits.

So, let’s pass on the leash. Let him wander off. Hold his rallies near cliffs. We could finally end this chaos and drama.

I talk about this in today’s podcast episode. I’m fed the fuck up with this shit-for-brains president an...

“No, I won’t back down.”

Tom Petty was right. You can stand me up at the gates of Hell, but I won’t back down. Days off? Fucking please. I don’t do that. Not with so much on the line. I’m using my writing and podcasting skills to the best of my ability.

I don’t care if I’m 52. It doesn’t matter if I haven’t taken a complete day off in years. As long as I’m growing this Substack and enjoying the process, it’s ON.

In today’s podcast episo...

I struggle with patience. Though I’m grateful for my life, family, and career, there are times when I feel bad about not being patient enough to achieve what I’m working toward.

It’s difficult when you’re a Substack writer, podcaster, and content creator who’s doing his damnedest to effect change for the better. Some days, I work 12 to 15 hours for less than minimum wage. It’s difficult to stay positive during those times.

But then I read about hunger, war, and genocide, and I shake that shit off. I realize just how privileg...

I swear, I am closer to a legitimate Christian than you MAGA fuckwits who fall asleep in church every Sunday.

I realized this accidentally while driving yesterday. Something happened that made me laugh. It’s unreal, the memories I still have. Attending church for 21 years before taking the next 30 off, you’d think that I have almost nothing in common with church-going folks.

Think again. This shit will make you laugh.

I’ll tell you all about it in today’s podcast episode. Thank you for lending me your ears on this one. You’re v...

Man, it’s been a hell of a year for Mooch. Her health has been in jeopardy for most of the past 12 months. She’d never had much going on during the first 13 years of her life.

My, how that has changed. And it’s cost us a small fortune. But at least we’re getting some answers.

I’m going to do everything possible for our beloved dog. Mooch is so much more than just a family pet. I have ten photos in my phone for every one of my children. She’s an equal member...

I’m starting to think that Donald J.(agoff) Trump is into dudes.

And that would be fine if he wasn’t so angry and self-loathing about it. He’s a mean-spirited prick. And I feel that he takes that anger and hatred out on anyone he perceives as his enemy.

Which is pretty much the whole damn world. He’s not kind toward anyone other than other mean-spirited, power-hungry, soulless billionaires. The ones who compliment him. Some pay him for presidential pardons.

One of the many illegal activities that Pedolf Shitler participates in. He s...

“I love it when a plan comes together.”

That’s a famous quote from the 80s TV show “The A-Team,” spoken by George Peppard, who played Hannibal Smith. He’d light up his celebratory stogie, and the team would claim another victory.

Just as Ukraine has in the past couple of days. Viva La Resistance."

They blew up Russian bot factories in the latest attack against the warmongering Russians. You know, the country whose leader, Traitor Trump, blows on a regular basis. Speaking figuratively, though, I would believe it if I heard that the Fanta Me...

I’ve figured a few things out during my 52 laps around the sun.

Most of the things I’ve learned have come with lessons. Some, harder to endure than others. But all of them have made me who I am today. And I’m pretty proud of that guy.

Even if he’s pretty mouthy and vocal. There have been many fucks thrown around, too.

But that’s ok. I like me. Most of my family members do, too. A fair amount of online friends, followers, and subscribers as well. The only crowd I don’t do...

MAGA has certainly lived up to Hillary Clinton’s description of them as being “Deplorables.”

It’s evident in all that they say and do. The most recent MAGAstani fuckery involves an upcoming public execution. One that the Pentagon plans to livestream. Captain Morgain, Pete Kegsbreath, has decided that this is a good thing.

It’s not lost on me that the first person in line for this is of Middle Eastern descent.

Yes, the man is guilty as fuck. Of course, mass murder is wrong, vile, and reprehensible. Like livestreaming a firing-squad execution...

Pete Kegsbreath wants to livestream a firing squad execution.

Drunky the Clown should really rethink that. If they execute the Fort Hood mass shooter on national TV, it could send a clear, chilling message to the world: That barbaric murder for entertainment is now on the table.

And Captain Morgan could be next. I’ll bet his wife and children wouldn’t want that viewed by millions.

After all, he’s responsible for the murders of dozens of Venezuelan fishermen. And the killing of over 160 Iranian schoolgirls. This fucking maniac would be the first...

I heard from an old friend the other day. She sent me a brief video of a fella stating something powerful. It moved me to tears. It hit me right where I live.

His message? “Some people don’t realize how much light they bring into others’ lives by just existing.”

That hit me hard. Mainly because the lady who sent it to me is one of those wonderful people. She’s been a friend for about two dozen years. We worked together originally, and she was one of my favorite people there at Dillard’s. I even vi...

Good Christ, I can’t believe this shit.

The topic I’m podcasting about? Yes. But not just that. I recorded today’s podcast, lost it on my laptop, and didn’t even see it in the recycle bin. So I re-recorded it just now and was pretty pissed that it wasn’t as good as the first take.

Then I found the first take, which is what you’ll hear. Thank fuck.

Apologies for this being about 30 minutes late because of this BS. I still have no idea how I found the original, bu...

I am so goddamn sick of Traitor Trump’s always-open shit factory located on his orange, bloated face.

The Leaning Tower of Feces needs to shut the fuck up and be removed from power immediately. If any other president had suggested that another country drop nukes on ANY American city, it would be considered treason. I’m so fed up with his fucking domestic terrorism against people who want him removed from power.

His many crimes and sins must be prosecuted. We cannot allow him to get away with “Well, that’s just Donald…” type of bullshit...

Christ Almighty, things are really rough right now. Fuck Mondays. At least this one, right now.

I’m trying my hardest to handle it all. But it’s not going well. My mental health is not in a good place. I received a phone call from my father’s assisted living facility in the middle of recording this episode. I always answer the phone when they call.

Especially with his health so touch-and-go since he was diagnosed with COVID. It’s really changed his outlook, attitude, and actions for the worse.

On top of every...

I’ve been a relationship guy almost my entire adult life. Most people haven’t been in committed relationships or marriages for almost all of their lives. I’ve been single for about a year in the past 30.

And half of them have been nothing but loving, fun, and full of happiness. Thank Christ. The first half of my adult life was rocky as fuck.

I was thinking about how much fun my Bride and I have today. Whether we’re out in public, chilling at home, or messaging each other back and forth during our work...

Of course, he goddamn did.

What else would you expect from a career creeper and a child-rapist? He’s never given humanity a shred of evidence of being a decent human being. So naturally, he responded in his typical, rapey way.

What a sick bastard. It’s no wonder we have such a problem in this country with predatory men. And those who defend them. Like the goddamn President.

I talk about this in today’s episode of our podcast. And fair warning: I’m in a mood on this one. There may be a few...

Shit has been rough around here lately.

We thought we were about to lose my father two days ago. He’s still not out of the woods yet, by a long shot. On top of that, our beloved dog Mooch is having some health struggles. Though she has a decent chance of recovery, it’s not guaranteed.

And it’s going to cost us a small fortune. But I’ll do whatever it takes to ensure we have as much time with her as possible.

Still, neither of these two stressful things brought me to te...

Man, we were damn near planning my father’s funeral 24 hours ago.

We got some rough news about his COVID recovery. It wasn’t going well. Then we heard he wasn’t eating or drinking anything. And they were worried that he didn’t have long to live.

Fortunately, we received a different story from a nurse who works in his wing. She seemed to have a finger on the pulse of his situation better than the head of nursing, who made it sound more dire than perhaps it was.

So we visited today to...

Man, I knew that would be a lot of fun. It was the first time I had a face-to-face conversation with my friend Weird Paul Petroskey. It was as cool as I thought it would be.

I hope you all enjoyed getting to know one of my favorite people on the Internet.

If you missed it, here’s the replay. Weird Paul filmed tons of hours of content back in the 80s, as a teenager. He now shares it all over social media and entertains us with his nostalgic stories and clips of his family gr...

I’m a firm believer in doing your best at anything you set your mind to. Especially fighting Traitor Trump’s fascist bullshit.

I’ve worked my tail off to achieve any goals and dreams I’ve ever had. I’m about to do a Substack Live with my good friend, Weird Paul Petroskey, in just a bit. He reminds me so much of myself. Mainly regarding the things he enjoys and busting his ass to make his dreams come true.

He’s doing a hell of a job. And I’m very much looking forward to spe...

It takes a real chickenshit, coward asshole to sexually assault or rape a woman.

Pieces of filth like Donald Trump and the shit-stains who support him are the target demographic in this statement. Though certainly, other sick bastards do it too. 1 out of 6 women have been sexually assaulted or raped by the time they are college-aged.

And this Cornell gang rape thing has me seething. I really wish vigilante justice was more common. I so badly want to inflict pain and suffering on men who rape women.

I talk about this in today’s...

I had a feeling I wasn’t going to like the news we received about Mooch’s health today.

Though it was unlikely we’d hear that she had nothing wrong with her, I still hoped that would be the case. Sadly, it wasn’t. Still, we have reason to be optimistic. And at least we received the prognosis right after they did her ultrasound.

She walked out of there with a shaved belly. I had to laugh. It felt funny to feel her bald belly when I picked her up. Check out those photos above.<...

Oh man, it’s nice to be back. I sure missed our little Mooch.

She had a wonderful time with her Auntie. She hadn’t seen her for several weeks, so it was nice that they had some time together. Sis said that Mooch didn’t have even one accident.

I was happy to hear that. It’s wonderful that they enjoy their time together on the rare occasion we go out of town for a bit. But still, I find myself missing our little dog. I kept waking up in the middle of the night at...

I theorize that damn near everyone in America knows that Donald Trump is a lying, thieving, con artist, and child rapist.

It’s just that some folks still don’t give a shit. The most brainwashed members of Cult 45 will never give up on supporting this morally bankrupt piece of filth. Their racism and bigotry are worth the price they pay, even if it bankrupts their deplorable asses.

I talk about this in today’s podcast episode. While most people in the world realize that Donald Dick-Smack has shit for brains and has no interest in imp...

Man, I love it out here in the woods. I’m rethinking living on the beach in favor of hiding from humanity out here amongst the forest.

We’ve had a great time so far during our weekend trip. It certainly is a much-needed distraction from the daily bullshit we endure having Traitor Trump as president. One can only write so many articles in a row and talk about him daily before needing a mental health boost.

Though I’m always still aware of the threat he poses to our nation, it’s nice to not fixa...

I hate that Pedolf Shitler does whatever the hell he wants without consequences.

Today is a perfect example of that. He was ordered by a federal judge to allow the left-leaning news outlets like CNN and Politico to have access to the White House. Most people with common sense would say, “Oh, ok. I guess I’d better let them in.”

Not Dipshit Donald. He refused to comply.

In today’s podcast episode, I talk about how there are two sets of rules for wealthy, white men and everyone else. It sickens me to see t...

Sorry, Dipshits, but no self-respecting woman is going to date you if you support a dogshit, pedophile, child-rapist.

It’s just not going to happen. So you can whine and cry about being lonely all you want down in Mama’s basement. She’ll tell you that you’re her special soldier. And that any woman would be lucky to have a “catch” like you.

She’s lying to you. Eat your meatloaf and listen to my fucking advice, not hers.

You and I don’t have an emotional attachment. I’m not here to spare your...

I laughed my head off when Pedolf Shitler announced that he was going to start his own news channel.

The Apprentice seems to think that people give a shit about his lying, gaslighting fuckery. As if anyone with morals, values, and common sense would watch his dumb ass lie on camera constantly. The only losers who might tune into this crap are members of Cult 45.

And even most of them are having second thoughts about the Cunt of Mostly Crisco. He’s costing them money they can’t afford to lose. Those dipshits should have thou...

That was sure a cool Substack Live. Well, until Mooch almost choked to death.

No more of those kinds of bones for her. I’ve never heard her make that sound before, and she’s been through a lot of those things. I guess I’ll look for smaller treats. Or she’ll just have to get right with not getting them during Daddy’s Lives. She’s all good, and I threw the rest of it away.

Aside from the doggie drama, it was sure fun to visit with Y’all. I appreciate everyone who tuned in a...

It never ends for Lauren Boebert. You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can’t take the trailer park out of the girl.

Evidently. She’s looking like a carrot in the middle of a white trash salad.

One with extra ranch dressing, apparently. She’s been accused of having multiple affairs during her time in office. With men and women BOTH. This reeks of ethics violations. I hope the law comes crashing down on her.

Whenever I have a rough day like I have today, I tell myself...

I have no doubt in my mind that Traitor Trump is going to attempt to steal the midterm election in November.

Whether they try to cancel the election ahead of time for some stupid, bullshit reason, or if they hack the voting machines and declare the GOP the winner, one thing is clear:

We have to have a plan to save our democracy. It’s not going to save itself.

I talk about what could happen after the November election. We have to turn up in record numbers so that they can’t stea...

This Mooch has me worried again. We’ve sure had a hell of a year with her health and vet bills.

A week ago, I had to take Mooch to the vet for a couple of booster shots. Just routine stuff. But they checked out a couple of other things that were going on with our 14 1/2 year old little ol’ lady. I held my breath and hoped for the best.

There’s something going on with her urine being too diluted. It could be an infection. It possibly may be kidney failure. I’m trying not to p...

I’m not nearly as worried about Pedolf Shitler as I was when he first took office for the second time back in January 2025.

This doesn’t mean that I think everyone is safe. Far from it. Especially if you’re part of marginalized groups. Minorities, immigrants, women, and LGBTQ citizens are still being victimized daily, in terms of policies and actions by the ICE Gestapo.

We cannot stop our fight against fascism.

But I do think that this MAGA fuckery is on its last leg. I don’t see the Cunt of Mostly C...
