No Kings. No Tyrants. No Excuses. My good friend Adam “Brick” House is a combat veteran and longtime activist. He’s served his country in uniform, worked on campaigns, marched in protests, and never sworn loyalty to any party, only to the Constitution. In this video, Adam calls on all of us—veterans, activists, and citizens who still believe…
“If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence.”—Justice Louis Brandeis I wasn’t exactly Charlie Kirk’s biggest fan. I found him to be an annoying, performative MAGA agitator helping to usher in…
“You’re sick of the game!” Well, now, that’s a shame. You’re young and you’re brave and you’re bright.“You’ve had a raw deal!” I know — but don’t squeal, Buck up, do your damnedest, and fight.It’s the plugging away that will win you the day, So don’t be a piker, old pard!Just draw…
Choose you this day whom ye shall serve. It is imperative that We The People maintain a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR DICTATORS. “I, Adam G. House, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and…

Treating the Constitution like an inconvenience isn’t how you protect a country - it’s how you dismantle it.
Kill yourself over an election result? To most adults that probably sounds completely irrational, but then again most adults aren’t queer teenagers living in Alabama.
After nearly a decade of Donald Trump dominating America’s frontal lobe, most of us have developed the survival skill of rolling our eyes and moving on. Ten years of Trump noise will do that to a body. We’ve watched reality TV bleed straight into the Oval Office until everyone’s half-sedated, doom-scrolling through each new absurdity…
Donald Trump’s Truth Social Easter message didn’t mention Jesus—not once. Just a rage-fueled tirade about immigrants, judges, and political enemies, wrapped in sarcasm and grievance, from a man who sounds less like the leader of the free world and more like an authoritarian demagogue with a reliable WiFi connection.
President Donald Trump is now using the federal government to go after people who hurt his feelings. That’s not my hot take, it’s just what’s happening. On April 9th, he ordered formal investigations into two former officials, Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor. Not because they broke the law, but because they broke ranks, and committed the one…
Just before midnight on New Year’s Eve, I heard that Gary had died from complications of early-onset dementia. Fireworks cracked through the night as the world welcomed 2025, but suddenly it all felt hollow. Gary Tyer was my friend. An artist and rock and roller through and through. He had a voice that could pull…
What if the collapse of a democracy doesn’t come with sirens or boots in the street, but with slogans, executive orders, and billionaires in boardrooms? A quiet drift toward something unrecognizable: a system where mythology replaces accountability, unelected tech moguls shape public policy, and fear becomes the new filter for free speech. The warning signs are easy to ignore—until the ground gives way.
In the Fall of 2019, I was in Encinitas, north of San Diego, en route to Hawaii for work. I stopped by the storefront for To The Stars where I ran into the author of this new book, Imminent, Luis Elizondo. This was just after several articles had been published in the media containing amplifying information regarding…
The election might be over, but the fight is just beginning. When everything feels uncertain, it’s time to regroup, face hard truths, and decide what comes next—because the future is unwritten, and we’re the ones holding the pen.
