Echoes of the Sixth by Jaci Turner We’ve seen this storm begin to swell, A fragile ego, fierce as hell. The truth denied, the blame deflects, While power trembles at what’s next. He spins the tale, he shifts the blame, Each word a crack in his own name. The walls close in, the…
A journalist’s job is to investigate facts, not to act as a referee for “truth.” Truth isn’t whatever the journalist believes; it’s what the evidence reveals. Anything else is opinion with a press pass.

When someone deflects a disturbing abuse of power with “But what about…?” - they’re not defending justice. They’re defending silence. This isn’t a game of partisan ping-pong. If Trump pardons Ghislaine Maxwell, it’s not politics. It’s a payoff. And every survivor, every citizen,…
what did you say when Biden gave all these pardons to his family and preemptive pardons to Democrats like Adam Schiff?
Scotland’s clarity here is striking and necessary. When accountability falters at home, it’s often our allies abroad who hold up the mirror. This isn’t just about one man visiting golf courses: it’s about the global perception of what we tolerate. dworkinsubstack.com/p/great-news-t…
Yes, innocent names must be protected. But let’s not pretend the morally compromised can be trusted to decide who is innocent and who is inconvenient. We need transparency, not selective shielding.
Those who claim the Constitution only protects a narrow slice of Americans are often trying to freeze it in its most exclusionary form, ignoring centuries of progress made in its name. The irony? The same people who shout “original intent” forget that the Founders intended the…
Imagine if all of a network’s top shows did what South Park just did. Not just mocking corruption, but exposing cowardice, calling out billion-dollar deals, and reminding us that truth still has a stage. Would it be chaos? Or the beginning of courage in mainstream media?…

We’re shaped by what we’re taught. But what came before that? Before the Noise by Jaci Turner We are born not blank, but brimming. Before the first name, a knowing. Before the first wound, a light. The soul arrives uncoated: a wild, wordless truth no hand can teach. It…
The Trump administration is relentlessly pushing to eliminate public broadcasting funding and is now pressuring Congress to abolish Voice of America—threatening global access to unbiased news. The pattern is chillingly unmistakable: silence the sources that speak truth. Will we…
History shows that powerful people often escape accountability unless ordinary people refuse to look away. Keep the light on. Keep the pressure on.
They Were Just Girls by Jaci Turner They were just girls, too young to fight, Trapped in the dark, denied the light. Now voices rise to speak their pain, Yet once again, it’s met with shame. They begged for truth, for justice done, But power hides the guilty ones. Their names…
The fact that even Rasmussen shows declining net approval could be especially telling about Trump’s second-term performance so far.
See? The chart doesn't look good.
Truth does not shout loud- it waits, steady through the storm, etched in quiet light.
The Journalists by Jaci Turner They press for truth and facts laid bare, For answers owed to those who care. Instead of truth or shared regret, They’re labeled foes: a growing threat. “You’re evil!” cries the one in charge, While dodging blame that looms so large. No answers…
A whistleblower gave damning testimony against Emil Bove, yet his nomination for a lifetime judicial seat is moving forward. What happened to integrity? To accountability? We cannot afford judges who carry partisan loyalty over public trust.
Judge Gallagher isn’t fueling chaos—she’s cutting through it. Her inquiry, grounded in a UN report, dares to ask what happened to those pushed from El Salvador under false promises of safety. She’s challenging not just a foreign regime, but the U.S. itself. That’s not…
Chasing distant light, I missed the bloom at my feet Now, I learn to stay.
