I left legacy media to build something different: independent, honest political analysis with no corporate or partisan agenda.
I call balls and strikes ⚾ — because politics needs referees, not cheerleaders.

President Donald Trump took the stage at Trump-a-palooza the Republican midterm convention Wednesday night to raucous applause from an adoring crowd.
He then delivered a rambling, stream-of-consciousness address that touched on everything from the Luka Doncic trade to his plan to give every American $5,000 if Republicans keep control of the House and Senate in the coming midterm election. (Not a joke!)
I went through the full transcript of Trump’s convention speech. And I picked out the quotes from the president you need to see. They’re below.
I am the only reporter going through Trump’s words forensically every day/week/month. If you value that sort of close examination of what Trump says — as well as fact-checking, context and some humor — I hope you become a paid subscriber today! (I explained why I think this approach is SO critically important here.)
“A lot of singers have wanted to introduce me. Once you win, they want to all introduce you, you know? And I said, no way, nobody's introducing -- only Lee.”
“A lot” of singers? Really? Can you name a few? Or one — other than Lee Greenwood? And away we go!
“And, friends, distinguished guests, Vice President Vance, and the proud citizens of the United States of America, welcome to the first ever midterm convention of any party.”
Nope! Democrats held midterm conventions in 1978 and 1982. This is the first Republican midterm convention, however.
“It took a little imagination to think of it, but we thought of it. I'm sure it'll become a staple in the years to come. But this is the first ever for any party.”
[narrator voice] It isn’t.
“You have to remember, when we originally announced this eight weeks ago, they said, who's going to go to a midterm convention? That's never going to -- this place is packed”
