The Renegade Writer's Mouthy Musings

Do you struggle with wasting too much time starting at screens?As a full-time writer and podcaster, I grow weary of fixating on technology. But it’s a necessary evil to stay informed about politics. How else am I supposed to talk all this shit about Traitor Trump and his criminal regime if I don’t read the news and social media posts frequently?I guess I could pick up a newspaper. But have you seen what it does to one’s fingers? Not for me.Though I’m on the far end of the spectrum for total hours spent starting at screens daily, I feel I use it responsibly. If I weren’t a political humor writer, I’d hope that I would be spending far less time than I am in front of screens. So many folks use it to distract themselves from the problems of this country or even personal ones they deal with.Or choose NOT to deal with, though they should.I talk about this in today’s episode of our podcast. I hope you find something of value in it. Being self-aware and pushing ourselves to be more motivated to fix our lives and the politics that target and victimize so many folks is necessary to make the world a better place to live.Not just for ourselves, but for everyone on this planet.

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 started wondering what a couple of different types of medications might do for me if I finally decided to give them a go.I’ll tell you all about it in today’s podcast episode. I doubt that I’ll follow through with it, but seeing Mooch having to be on meds from here on has me wondering about the possibilities. Thank you for giving this one a listen; I’d appreciate your thoughts about the topic.© 2026 The Mouthy Renegade Writer. All rights reserved.Mooch would love for you to become a paid subscriber.

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 improve. It’s not easy to right the ship when you’re headed straight toward an iceberg. But I refuse to go down and sink without a fight.Being on the right side of history and knowing that I’m a good, caring human being helps. And I have a hell of a supportive family, as well as friends who feel the way I do about politics. When things seem difficult, I just imagine how much worse it would be if I were a Trump-supporting MAGA dirt clod. And then I feel better. I hope you do, too. Together, we can fight this fascist fuckery of Pedolf Shitler and end his reign of terror. Let’s always remember that. I’ve got your back.© 2026 The Mouthy Renegade Writer.

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 thing of mine. Fortunately, talking about it here helped me to quit thinking crazy thoughts. There’s no way I’d ever want to give up doing this full time to work some shit job. I can’t see myself working in a place like the one in the movie “The Office.” I don’t think most of you would want me doing this part-time. I appreciate your support more than you know.© 2026 The Mouthy Renegade Writer. All rights reserved.Mooch would love for you to become a paid subscriber.

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 way too long for that to happen. And Cadet Von Schittforbrains is allowed to make a fool of himself and this country on the world stage daily. His mental decline is obvious, yet nobody has the balls to do anything about it.I talk about this in today’s podcast episode. I’m feeling frustrated with our lack of action in the government. This cannot continue. I know you feel the same. I appreciate your support and encouragement. We must defeat this ridiculous fascist fuckwit. This has gone on far too long. It’s time for the 25th Amendment.© 2026 The Mouthy Renegade Writer. All rights reserved.Mooch would love for you to become a paid subscriber.
