UPDATE: Charlie Kirk Blood Spatter, Earpiece, or Necklace? This video is going viral from someone named RangeDayBro on YouTube, saying this is 100% evidence Charlie was shot in the head, BUT… it’s kinda wrong. I was the original person to point out that something looked like it hit Charlies right side of his head when it happened… when I first started looking, I thought the exact same thing he did about the “Blood Splatter”. But I kept slowing down the video, and discovered what appears to be an earpiece or necklace. He also gets the “FLASH” wrong, 100% wrong. Stating that’s where the shooter was.. then said he was hiding in the bush. After combing through video footage, I found what I believe to be 100% the muzzle flash. The shot did not and could not have come from that location because it’s merely the top window panel of the interior hall of flags (I think that’s what it’s called.) The muzzle flash was 100% a reflection off that glass panel from a far off distance, notably in the same general direction they said the shooter was. (See post below) Conclusion: Now, I’m not saying he couldn’t have been shot from anywhere else.. nor in any direction. In fact, I don’t buy the story at all that his neck bones stopped that bullet. As we saw that day, there were several distractions, which I feel played a significant role to allow the real people to get away. I’m only saying his suggestion about the “blood spatter” is just his earpiece or most likely a necklace... It’s important to be accurate and process eliminate these things. Maybe Turning Point USA can confirm if in fact his necklace did pop off, it could settle some of these “theories”. All we want is the truth.

In The Godfather Part II, early in Vito Corleone’s flashback storyline, Don Fanucci suddenly appears with a scar across his neck - a scar that wasn’t there in his earlier scenes. The film never explains how he got it, but a deleted scene reveals what happened, and it plays out almost exactly as Mario Puzo described it in the novel. “One day Fanucci was set upon by three young men who cut his throat from ear to ear, not deeply enough to kill him, but enough to frighten him and make him bleed a great deal. Vito saw Fanucci fleeing from his punishers, the circular slash flowing red. What he never forgot was Fanucci holding the cream-colored fedora under his chin to catch the dripping blood as he ran. As if he did not want his suit soiled or did not want to leave a shameful trail of carmine.” Coppola wanted the moment to match Mario Puzo’s description as closely as possible. The blood-spurting effect from Fanucci’s neck was created with a fake piece of skin made from foam latex, rigged with two canisters hidden under actor Gastone Moschin’s arm: one filled with compressed air, the other with fake blood. A trigger was placed in Moschin’s palm, and when he pressed it, the compressed air forced blood up through tiny tubes beneath the fake skin, making it look as if Fanucci’s throat had been slashed open. It was a great effect; however, the problem with the scene is that Coppola chose to shoot the attack in a very brief wide shot, from Vito’s point of view. As a result, the violence had less impact than what audiences had come to expect after the first film. Special effects supervisor A.D. Flowers explains… “Yeah, well that was a scene where actually it didn't photograph as well as the story [required]. And this is one of the things which ruins effects, that often the camera goes away so fast from where it happens that you don't realize what is happening. An effects scene can't stay on too long, but it's got to stay on long enough to register. Like there, a guy's getting his throat slit, and he was supposed to put his hat underneath it to catch the blood dripping, and the scene was cut real short, and I don't think the audience really got that much out of it, and I think that was the main reason they cut it out.” (1/2)

Tucker Carlson Drops Opening Monologue About Alex Jones: We have a ruling class in the United States defined by its hatreds. Not its loves, not its hopes, but by its hatreds. They hate all kinds of people, large groups of people: the deplorables, the bitter clingers, America's entire blue-collar population, the unfashionable people. They're hated by the people who run our country. But no one is hated more by them than a man called Alex Jones. Alex Jones is the single-most-censored man in all American history. He was the first media figure in our history to be completely erased in one day. Deplatformed. Alex Jones was deplatformed before it was a common term. And not just deplatformed — sued, attacked. They attempted to criminally charge him. What did Alex Jones do wrong? Alex Jones didn't rape anybody. He didn't loot Macy's. He didn't burn a police station. He didn't invent a fake cryptocurrency and loot pension funds. He didn't start a pointless war that made this country poorer and more disorganized. He didn't open the southern border. No. Alex Jones had opinions that deeply rattled the people who run America. In fact, rattled a lot of us. And I'll just confess that I first heard of Alex Jones when he questioned the official story behind 9/11. And I, speaking for myself, was deeply offended by this. I didn't take any time to find out what he was saying, but I was bothered by the idea that this defining event in American history, which changed the life of everyone who lived here then, might not actually have unfolded as we were told it did. And that possibility was too destabilizing. And I remember feeling resentment toward Alex Jones for saying that. But several years later, I went up in Austin, Texas, and through a chain of circumstances, wound up meeting Alex Jones. And I learned what everyone who has met him now knows, which is Alex Jones is not a crazy person. Alex Jones has said pretty far out things on TV from time to time. Not that far out. He hasn't said men can become women or Ukraine is a democracy. But within the bounds of, say, cable news, pretty far out. But fundamentally, Alex Jones is right about a lot of things. And, in fact, that's why they don't like him. Alex Jones has an uncanny, really an amazing ability to predict events before they happen. He has called it and he's done it on tape again and again, to the point where it's a meme on the Internet. "Alex Jones prophet," not conspiracy nut, prophet. But when you dig into Alex Jones's predictions, they are so spot-on that it's remarkable. How does he do this? We're guessing there's a kind of spiritual sensitivity to Alex Jones. Maybe that's his secret. He was displaying this years before the average person in this country even thought about matters like that. Now it's pretty obvious to most people that the current war going on in this country is taking place in ways you can't see it most of the time. But ten years ago, people were not thinking that way. Alex Jones was. And so, we thought it'd be interesting to sit down and talk to Alex Jones, the man. He joins us now in our studio.

Wow…. Donald Trump’s rally in Tucson, Arizona was a mess. Bro was totally slurry and as utterly incoherent he’s ever been. Let’s recap it: JD Vance is nowhere to be found. Bro hasn’t been invited to a rally in a while. Telling. He starts by hyping up the crowd despite the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall only having a capacity for 2195 people. There were empty seats too. In comparison, VP Harris had 8600 people at her rally today. You could tell his tiny crowd size was bothering him. He claimed he had a “monumental victory” against VP Harris in the debate. Sure, bro… He said she “spewed lies.” Pure projection. He whined about Linsey Davis and David Muir. He had issues saying “industry,” “Snopes” (he called it “Snoops”), “confiscation,” “notice,” “and,” “interest,” “Russia,” “jokingly,” and “woman." The cognitive decline is fierce. He lied about the abortion after birth thing again, disgusting. He’s giggling at his own jokes. I think he’s on something. This is super weird. He called VP Kamala Harris “the leader of the movement Defund the Police.” Uh, no. He says Project 2025 “never had my authorization.” He implemented over 2/3 of their policies in 2017. He says that crime is so much worse now than when he was in office. False. Crime has gone down since the spike when he was POTUS. He falls back on his Twitter polls as proof that he “won the debate.” Nah, bro. He seems to think that his debate with Biden counts as debating Harris. Not the case. He claims his weird “Town Hall” with Tulsi Gabbard had the best ratings. It didn’t. He tried to diss David Muir’s hair. Odd since I’d take David’s hair over Donald’s…whatever that is…any day of the week. He claims VP Harris is “a threat to democracy.” So much projection. He’s slurring calling Harris and Tim Walz “weird.” He clearly doesn’t like being called weird himself, so we should keep doing it. A lot. He called Tim Walz “the future Vice President.” Well, he got one thing right! He repeats that he won’t do a “third debate” because it’s “too late” since early voting has already started. Donald Trump is a chicken. He goes on an angry rant about immigrants and migrants. He whines that VP Harris smiled during the debate. Bro, she was LAUGHING AT YOU. He’s pushing lies about Springfield, Ohio. FAFO in a swing state, bro. I can’t wait for Haitians to help flip Florida. He claims people in Hollywood vote for him because of “low taxes.” Further proof Donald only cares about giving tax cuts to the wealthy. He says they lie and say they’re not voting for him and then secretly vote for him. Not happening, bro. He claimed he got “more votes than any sitting president in the history of the country” in 2020. HE LOST THE ELECTION and he’s once again claiming he didn’t lose after admitting he did multiple times in the past month. He said “we’re never gonna let that happen again.” We all need to be prepared for what he’s gonna make his base do when he loses AGAIN. He claims that “in a couple more years they’ll be fired” about Linsey Davis and David Muir. Is he threatening them if he wins? He called Linsey Davis “nasty.” What a dick. He now goes back to people in Hollywood voting for him. Delusional man can’t even keep his own train of thought. He claims someone named Martha cried when he won the debate. Uh. He’s bragging about crowd size again. He’s also saying he did 7 rallies in 2 days. He did not. He’s now asking how many rallies Biden would do…he keeps forgetting who he’s running against. He tries to get the crowd excited and it sounded like less than 50 people were clapping. Sad. He’s now talking about Venezuelans taking over places with AK47s. He was the one who stayed the deportation of Venezuelans right before he left office. He’s now calling Kari Lake “Border Kari Lake.” Super lame nickname and of course he praises himself for it. He’s crying about Biden again. Yikes. Bro’s mind is mashed potatoes. He’s back talking about Venezuelans with guns and he’s trying to do math. No joke. He claims Harris is flying in migrants on jets. He whines about the Forbes 400 and claims Forbes “isn’t doing so well.” He’s still butthurt that they dropped him from their list. He’s back to demonizing “20,000” Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio. FAFO bro. He said “they’re taking the geese…and walking off with their pets. My has been stolen.” He keeps talking about someone named “Art.” I’m smirking. He says he’ll “stop World War 3.” Bro is gonna try to start it. He’s crying about Biden not talking to Putin. He claims that immigrants and migrants can’t pay rent. He immediately talks about the “explosion in rent” in Springfield, Ohio. Pick one or the other, doofus. He’s talking about sleeping with a chart “every night.” I mean, that’s more than Melania is sleeping with him. She won’t even be in the same state as him, let alone the same bedroom. He’s going to “ban mortgages for all illegal aliens.” I thought he said they can’t pay rent but now they can afford to buy a home? Again, pick a lane dingleberry. You’re embarrassing. He claimed the average income raised $7000 under him. False. 3 million people lost their jobs. Donald says he’s going to save the average person in Arizona “$800 and $1000 a month” on their mortgages. Is he planning on giving away free homes? Bro is straight up lying. He arbitrarily says he’s going to cut their power bills by 50% in the first year. How do people believe this absolute bullsh*.t? He said people “can’t afford to buy cereal” and that people bring three apples to the checkout and then put one back because they can’t afford it. Fruity Pebbles near me are $3.49 and an apple costs $.59. He wants to repeal “every unnecessary rule” for construction of homes. Let’s make houses implode again! He claims “government regulation” is to blame for “40% of the cost of single family homes.” Bro is legit just making up numbers as he goes along. This is painful to watch. He says he’s going to cut the cost of new homes by 30-50%. Is he gonna give away land for free? FFS. Bro is mental. Ah. He just said he’s going to open up federal land for “large scale housing development.” Great. Let’s turn Yellowstone into a strip mall while we’re at it. He’s complaining that the media covers his inability to say words and calling him “cognitively impaired.” The media genuinely needs to call this out. He calls Melania “our great First Lady.” She’s not the First Lady, and she’s not great either. He said Melania complains about his hair at his rallies. Good. He looks like a bum with an animal living in that weird hair nest. He’s complaining about low income housing. He’ll take away any safety net that people who are struggling have. He said he “doesn’t have problems with women” and that suburban women love him. E. Jean Carroll would like a word. So would Stormy Daniels. He said women “don’t want to be hurt, molested, killed.” I don’t want to have to carry my rapist’s baby, bro. And that’s now happening to women in 13 states thanks to you. He asked “why wouldn’t they like me” about women. UHHHHHHHH. How much time do you have, Donald? He said women want choice and that he’s for choice. But he’s talking about school choice, not bodily autonomy. I hate this man. He’s whining about “copycat” VP Harris saying “no taxes on tips.” Hahahaha. She still lives rent free in his head about this. He’s now trying to bribe people by saying that he’ll end taxes on overtime. We all know he’ll never implement this. He’s bragging about Biden’s student loan debt elimination being stopped. Vile. He claims he took in more money from the IRS after he cut taxes for the wealthy, “by a lot.” Not true. Our national debt was skyrocketing under him even prior to the pandemic. The crowd cheers the loudest for his hateful speech about transgender people. He lies and says schools are transing kids after parents drop them off. He claims VP Harris was “the leader of that.” Fake news. He lies about the boxers in the Olympics again. I really hope they sue the ever-loving sh-i.t out of him. He does some lewd gestures and talks about “getting it up.” I want to vomit in my mouth. He makes up a story about a trans swimmer who won the Olympics and some female swimmer getting “wind burn” as a result. WHAT THE ACTUAL EFF?!?! See the video below. I couldn’t stop laughing. Sorry for that! He’s begging people to get their friends to vote. He knows he’s gonna lose. Oh. Now he's doing the air jerk dance going off the stage. It makes my skin crawl. - Fin I’m sorry this one took a while. I kept pausing and leaving the tv because he was royally pissing me off. I genuinely cannot wait until I don’t have to do these anymore. This man is one giant ball of hatred and we need this cancerous negativity removed from our society. Is the media gonna cover any of this or nah?

Alright. I’m honestly relieved that this is finally coming out, so we can finally put an end to the fairytale conspiracies about March 4, courtesy of Joe Flipperhead and the ratchet harem. Since Aidan and his Dollar-Tree-sidekick Chelsea want to drag March 4th into the public arena, let’s do it properly– with facts, not the fairy tale he’s been feeding everyone. The rumors flying around are completely untrue, and I’ve wanted to defend myself for weeks, but Aidan has spent the last month threatening me, telling people that if the truth ever came out he’d “turn me into the next Lindsey,” that everyone would believe him because he has a platform, and even declaring he’d tell his followers to contact my work. Well, here we are. Since he chose to drag this into the public and sic his ratchet brigade on me, I’m finally telling the actual story. That night wasn’t some dramatic “Meredith tried to send me to jail” moment. It was a drunk, disgusting fight between two adults—the kind Aidan has on rotation with every woman he dates. Both of us were very intoxicated, but he was blackout drunk, verbally abusive, and filming me against my will. I told him to stop. He didn’t. I’d found out about him sexting another girl and had bottled up emotions for months, which is what started the argument. I asked him to leave after he said horrible things to me, including calling me fat and useless, that people only like me because I’m “Turtleboy’s girlfriend”. I asked him to leave and he began recording me, pointing a phone in my face while I repeatedly told him to stop. He lost his own key, and because he couldn’t remember anything, he made up a story that I “stole it.” Imagine spreading this fantasy when I have him on video of me asking him to return MY KEYS? I was uncomfortable, overwhelmed, and didn’t want a drunken fight being filmed. He took our feud out into the common area of my building, disturbing other tenants. So yes, I said “you hit me,” specifically because I believed he wouldn’t share the video if I said that. I said it so he would STOP RECORDING ME, and he has a full video that I clearly say, “I’m only saying that so you’ll stop recording me.” I never reported anything to the police, never intended to, never would. He knows this. We discussed this fact many times the next day and several occasions in the last few months. That context has been deliberately cut out to push a fake narrative, but don’t worry, I’ll be posting the full videos that I took of that night. When he’s threatened me with releasing this very video, he admitted it would be edited out and no one would believe me over him. Meanwhile, the victim cosplay he’s doing now? Pathetic. He claims he was “stuck” in my house. Reality: I asked him to leave over and over. This narrative that he was somehow stuck there held hostage is simply not true. Reality: I have video of him refusing to get out of my bed, not “sleeping on the couch.” Reality: I have video of him screaming at me like a lunatic. Reality: He lost his key because he was hammered, then somehow turned that into me “stealing it.” Reality: He was causing a huge scene in my apartment throwing a literal temper tantrum on the floor. With other tenants in the building, I was genuinely concerned someone would call the police. He also lies that I tried to keep him from court the next day. Reality? I gave him my car so he could get to court. I sat in the passenger seat half-dead from a hangover while chauffeuring Captain Accountability to his court date. I sat next to him during court, then eventually throwing up in a bag on the way home. Then he used that same car to drive to his house for his spare key, and back again. I supported him through the entire aftermath, like I did every time. But now he’s trying to pretend he was some endangered baby deer and I was plotting to Lindsay him? Get real. This narrative that I was somehow trying to get him arrested? An absolutely disgusting lie considering the trauma that situation caused him. Not to mention the countless hours I spent during our 1.5 year relationship assisting with his legal defense to keep him OUT of jail. He knows it’s not true. He knows exactly what happened. Do you really think if his narrative were true, he’d stay with me for months to come and not file his own police report? But he also knows he thrives off playing victim, and he knows he has people willing to believe anything he says without question. Over the last month, behind the scenes with recording gate, he’s been telling me and others that if I ever spoke up, he’d ruin me. That he’d twist the story because he has the bigger platform. That he’d make sure people contacted my job. He has leaked private texts, sent people after me, and used Chelsea, a woman he cheated on me with, to push his manufactured victim narrative. But here’s the truth: Aidan is not the victim of March 5th. He was drunk, verbally abusive, refusing to leave, and escalating a situation he then turned around and weaponized. And like every situation he touches, every feud, every fallout, every “enemy,” every messy disaster, he plays the same role: the powerless victim of consequences he created. At some point, people need to recognize the common denominator. I stayed silent because I didn’t want this ugliness public. I didn’t want to embarrass him. I didn’t want to rehash something painful, private, and humiliating for both of us. But since he chose to send CamelToe Joe and his ratchet harem to post private fights, twist reality, and smear me, I’m done being quiet. Aidan is incapable of having a private relationship and ending. And Chelsea…hun. I know your brain cells are limited, but your "insurance" explanation makes no sense. When did he send you this video? Months after it happened? Why would you need insurance at that point? You’re being used like a scratch-off ticket from Cumberland Farms. He feeds you a cropped video and suddenly you’re Nancy Drew with a nicotine patch? Please. You weren’t even in the picture until after he was done cheating with you. These videos paint a wildly different picture of the fake victim narrative CamelToe Joe has been pushing, huh? I’ll be posting more soon, about the recording, about every single lie he has chosen to spread through his minions the last two months. I guess I was crazy to think Aidan would ever be okay with someone walking away and moving on peacefully. Since Aidan wanted the truth out, he's about to get it. PS- Speaking of men being fake scared of women– Funny how some people with very chaotic personal histories suddenly decide they’re the moral authority on my life, enough so to peddle lies on their large platforms. If I had these kinds of pasts, I'd probably sit this one out, and maybe stop throwing stones from your glass basements and (mom’s) houses.

I listened to the President of the United States use the murder of someone who played a significant role in helping him win the White House to anoint Charlie Kirk a political martyr. It was no coincidence that his death was announced not by a doctor at the hospital or a spokesperson of the family or Turning Point USA. If you have seen the footage of the shooting (which I would not advise), you will have seen there is little doubt he died within minutes at the scene. The announcement of his death was a politically choreographed moment in which Trump could simply not pass up the opportunity for him to be centre of attention. It sickens me that this is what America has become. The people deserve better. As I stated in my post following the shooting there is not one single point on which I agreed with Charlie Kirk, but nobody deserves to be murdered for their political beliefs. I found him morally repugnant. A peddler of misogyny, homophobia and an unapologetic racist who spent his time attempting to poison the minds of young people with his white Christian Nationalist views that are antithetical to Christian teachings. Despite my opinion of him, he did not deserve to die for the beliefs he held and I would fight to defend his right to hold them. He has left behind a wife and 2 small children whose last memory of their father should not be a gaping hole in his neck emptying his life in an ocean of blood on the ground. Nobody deserves that. He fervently believed that the numerous gun deaths in America each year were an acceptable price for the preservation of the second amendment and in a twist of irony he became a martyr to that cause NOT the America that Trump is creating and he painted in his disgusting address to the nation. The flag outside the White House flew at half mast not out of respect, but as an act of performative politics. Let’s not forget that a couple of weeks ago, two young children died while they prayed in a Minnesota catholic church. There were no half mast flags to mark their passing because they held no political value. It is likely there will be acts of retribution as we see right wing politicians and talking heads stoking the fires of political violence. I’m sure Trump is already planning to maximise the political value of Kirk’s death with a made for TV funeral event to cement his martyrdom. These are dark times. I will not shed a tear for Charlie Kirk. America will be subjected to slightly less Christian Nationalist propaganda with his passing. I’ll leave you with his own words in the hope that when he met his maker he didn’t have to attempt to debate his way into heaven, because he may find St Peter quoted him Matthew 25:40 ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me.

MrBeast found four other lunatics online. Three college dropouts. One high school dropout. One guy who quit his job. They talked on Skype every day for 1000 days straight. 7am to 10pm. Then sleep. Then do it again. One of them became the biggest YouTuber on the planet. He spent 10 minutes explaining what they studied: Here's why having the right people accelerates everything. "Imagine working solo. 12 hours a day for a year. You make a mistake, you learn from it. You grind." "Now imagine four friends equally grinding on something similar." "Friend one makes a mistake on Friday. Teaches the other four. Friend two makes a mistake the next week. Teaches everyone." "You're all learning from each other's mistakes. Constantly studying 24/7. Downloading each other." "After a year, you're like 2 years ahead of the guy who was solo." They studied thumbnails obsessively. "We'd take a thousand thumbnails and see if there's a correlation between the brightness and how many views it got." "Something a lot of people forget: on phones, thumbnails are really small. People edit thumbnails full-blown on their computer. When you shrink it down, you can't see anything." Your title and thumbnail set expectations. Then you must exceed them. "At the very beginning of the video, to minimize drop off, you want to assure them that those expectations are being met." "If you're putting a million Orbeez in a pool, don't start the video with you shopping for your mom's birthday present." "Just say: this is 100 million Orbeez. We're going to fill this pool and this entire backyard with them." "Match the expectations. Then exceed them. Blow their mind. Be like: you're also getting even more." Anyone can clickbait. The difference is delivery. "We say we put 100 million Orbeez in the backyard. We put 100 million Orbeez in the backyard." Here's the algorithm truth no one wants to hear. "Anytime you say the word algorithm, just replace it with audience." "The algorithm didn't like that video? No. The audience didn't like that video." "If you're not retaining a viewer, would it make sense to promote it? Why would you promote a 10-minute video that people watch on average a minute and a half?" "Literally all the algorithm does is reflect what the people want. If you deny that, you just make terrible videos and are trying to find a scapegoat." His reinvestment strategy was relentless: "For the last eight or nine years, every dollar I've made, I just spent it the next month on content." "I just did that every single month. It just kept getting bigger and bigger. And here we are." Meanwhile, he lived in a $700/month duplex. Split with a roommate. $360 each. "Living your life chasing a nicer and nicer car and a bigger and bigger box to live in is kind of a dumb way to go about life." He only moved because someone broke in and stole everything. "I had to get a little nicer house for security reasons." On obsession: "Since I was 13, there probably hasn't been a single hour that's gone by that I've been awake where I haven't thought about YouTube." "I'm just focused on making the best videos possible, period." "I don't care about making money. I don't care about time. I just want to make the best videos on the planet." The effort is insane. "Sometimes we're filming for 3 or 4 days. 10 hours a day. 30, 40 hours of filming plus months of setup." "Most creators probably film for a couple hours and set up for a day." "We brainstorm video ideas relentlessly. Hours every day." "By always doing all those things, it just distinctively sets it so far apart that in my head it's like: why would you not watch it?" Viewers aren't stupid. "They can tell when you half-ass a video or if you really put in effort." "If they can tell you're putting in a lot of effort, they're going to be more likely to click on future videos." "Once you build that trust, they get to a point where it doesn't matter what you upload. They just know it's high effort. They're just conditioned to watch because you have a good track record." On why most creators burn out: "A lot of people aren't willing to put in 10-hour days because they don't like what they're doing." "If you don't enjoy it, you're going to burn out. You're doing this for years, not months." "I just had the blessing of finding what I loved at a young age." "To get to this level, it takes a decade. Most people don't find what they love till their young 20s. So they'd be where I'm at in their 30s." "I just lucked out and found it when I was really young." One insight changed everything: "Only 10% of the world speaks English. 90% of the world can't even watch your content." "When I realized that, I was like: wait a minute." "We started doing dubs like 6 months ago. It's crazy how viral some of these videos go. 51 million views in Spanish." "The guy who does my dubs is the same guy who dubs Spider-Man." Here's the math most creators get wrong: "It's much easier to get 5 million views on one video than 50,000 views on 100 videos." "Takes way less effort." This 10 minute video will teach you more about content, obsession, and why most creators stay small than every course combined. Bookmark & give it 10 minutes today, no matter what.

Make Shit Work Again People almost never come to our door after dark. Because we live in a (what used to be) a quiet place, and random visitors after dark are almost unheard of. So when the doorbell rang at 3:30am this morning I grabbed my shotgun. I racked the pump and shouted for the person at the door to identify themselves. Turns out it was a lady cop. Luckily the cops are used to armed homeowners around here. She shined a to flashlight identify herself, and I secured the gun and the dogs to see what she wanted. Turns out two people were shot across the street in the park. She wanted to know if your security cameras captured any footage of the incident. So I checked the app, and no—there was no footage (because our cameras point the other direction). And that was that. But I couldn’t get back to sleep—mostly because of the adrenaline. But also because I couldn’t help but notice that things are getting worse around here. This used to be a place where nothing happened. And now things definitely do happen. We used to live in LA. My wife and I did industry stuff. We had a good life as an urban childless couple, but then she got pregnant. We thought about the daunting challenge of raising kids in LA, and opted to get out. So we found a place in the Mountain West where nothing ever happens. It was a good place to raise kids. A place with good schools. A place where our children could wander the town by themselves. But it’s not that place anymore. Since Covid the schools have gone to shit. And a few weeks ago my son was at the neighborhood park (by himself) when a gang member pulled a gun on a parent at the playground. So early this morning I’m lying in bed, and I’m thinking about this. And I thought to myself, “We need to leave.” But then I had another thought—a disturbing thought. I thought, “But there’s no place else to go.” Because it’s almost everywhere now. Red State, Blue State, it doesn’t matter. And if it’s not there yet it will be soon. And if you think you’re safe, you’re not. Because this thing is coming for all of us. *** My politics in five words: I Want Shit To Work That’s it. I just want shit to work. And I don’t really care how that happens. I’m old enough to remember when shit did work. It never worked perfectly. But I don’t think shit has worked perfectly in the entire history of human endeavors. I mean, read the Bible—it’s all about shit not working perfectly. But I grew up in a time when things ran fairly well—far better than they do now. I’m not that old, but back in the day schools actually taught stuff. And there wasn’t choking bureaucracy in government and business and every other institution. And we could TRUST those institutions—because they weren’t rife with corruption. And if minor corruption happened to be discovered it was A BIG FUCKING DEAL—because the media wasn’t bent, and they’d actually report on the corruption. And things weren’t so expensive. A young person (me) could work a menial job afford a car and an apartment and still have money left over to take girls on dates. Because there was OPPORTUNITY for young people. Now I could go on and on, but I’m starting to sound like an old man shouting at a cloud, so let me just say, trust me kids: SHIT USED TO WORK. Spencer Pratt is about my age. He remembers when shit used to work. He remembers when you could count on the fire department to not let a giant part of your city burn down with residents inside. He remembers when you didn’t have to step over fentanyl zombies to take your kids to preschool. He remembers when there wasn’t human shit on the streets. He remembers when corrupt government officials were held accountable. He remembers when we could go about our lives and not worry—because shit worked. I can sum up Spencer Pratt’s campaign platform in four words: Make shit work again. So can he win the LA mayoral race? It depends on one question: Is it bad enough yet? I think it is bad enough. It’s so bad that it can no longer be ignored. And I think most Angelenos feel the same way. There’s a critical mass of people who remember when shit worked. They had no way to fix it. They couldn’t imagine a solution. And then one guy stood up and said he could fix it. Because none of these “intractable problems” are actually intractable. We know how to do this. We know how to fix things. We know how to Make. Shit. Work. Again. What was lacking was The Will to do it. And Spencer Pratt has The Will. No, I don’t live in LA anymore. But I’m pulling for Spencer. Because this election is so much larger than Los Angeles. Because there’s no where else to run to. Because we’ve got to make a stand. Somewhere. Anywhere. So vote for Spencer. And if you can’t vote then make a small donation. Because we have to make shit work again. Because we don’t have a choice.
