This is where I say what I think, mostly about national politics and the Constitution. Each piece gets an Opinion label at the top and a link to whatever I'm reacting to.

For $75, your logo and a link to your business go right here on the voter guide through November 3, 2026, and I'll mention you in 2 or 3 of my social videos. I never put sponsors or ads next to my commentary.
I sell ad space to help cover what it costs to run the site. Buying an ad doesn't get you any say in what I write, and it won't change what I cover.
Every paid political ad is labeled "Paid political advertisement" and carries the buyer's "Paid for by" line. Campaigns and committees from any side can buy one at the same published rates, and that includes people I've criticized.
I can turn down an ad that's false or hateful, or one made to look like an official election notice. Each political ad I accept goes in the public ledger below with the buyer, the committee or FEC ID, the amount and the run dates.
Political Ad Ledger
I add each ad here when I accept it.

No political ads have run here yet.
I'll post rates on this page before the first political ad runs. If you own a local business and want to support the site, the Founding Sponsor spot is on the voter guide.
