    “This cannot be allowed to stand.”

    Removing this spiteful narcissistic, delusional citizen from the presidency immediately is the minimum necessity.

    Abrams. Ossoff. Warnock. Georgians.

    Thank you, Georgians! Please allow me to be one of the first to say to Senator Mitch McConnell – “Will you shut up, man!”

    Hey, 2020. Yeah, you…

    We’re leaving a shitstorm year behind. Let’s hope people are smarter in 2021 so we don’t sink even deeper.

    Pouring coronavirus stimulus funds down a hole. Literally.

    Despite people and small businesses struggling to make it day to day amidst the coronavirus pandemic, the North Dakota Emergency Commission is giving the oil industry a $33.1 million gift. That’s OUR money.

    Truth will once again be a casualty of the politics of pandemic.

    Graphic - Ordained Dudeist Priest

    From getting married to getting buried, I gotchya covered, man!

    I am an introvert, which means more, and less, than you think.
    Here's a great definition from Introvert, Dear.

    IV Words Founder Martin C. Fredricks IV

    Martin C. “Red” Fredricks IV here. I’m husband to an amazing woman who is also my best friend, dad to three outstanding kids, climate crisis warrior, environmentalist, rabble-rouser, sayer of things people don't want to hear, proud introvert and big-time reader. A ginger, too - ergo the "Red" - although some of it's going white. Cinnamon-sugar, I call it. Tattooed to boot; seven so far; like 'em or not, I don't much care.
