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.

For the second straight night, President Donald Trump addressed the Republican midterm convention in Dallas — this time closing out the unusual two-day, um, celebration.
Below I picked out the quotes from the president’s closing remarks you really need to see.
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.)
“You know, the Democrats are getting nervous. They said if we did a midterm convention, nobody would show up. This place is packed. It was packed last night.”
Um…and away we go!
“We went through four years of embarrassment, hurt, harm, sickness, filth. It was bad.”
“Filth”? Really?
“And I'm going to be a little bit brief because last night I spoke for two hours.”
“We all love music, right? We're going to get a little music. I'm going to stand on the stage at the end with our great opera star, Christopher Macchio. And he's going to sing ‘America, the Beautiful’, ‘Nessun Dorma’, and ‘All I Ask of You’ from the Phantom of the Opera, and we're going to have a good time listening to music because I'm getting a little bit tired of politics now”
“I’m getting a little bit tired of politics now” — The President of the United States. (Also: He LOVES “Phantom.”)
“So I'll be brief. I'll be brief. I don't know if you -- should I be brief or should I not be brief?”
“Be brief” — Literally Everyone
