Congress declares war. Not the president. Hitler took control of a democracy that was just over a decade old. Ours is about two hundred and fifty years old (with more safeguards). Come on, America. These clowns are about to start World War III. Are we really going to let this happen? Be serious.

This campaign has failed across the Middle East. We exponentially increased al Qaeda numbers, sparked the creation of the Islamic State and brought zero stability or peace to the region. So many have died. So much spent. Now we court WWIII. Smh. Iran is a bridge too far. youtu.be/-KkNAQIuGZY?...

There will be more legal cases….

I posted my big article on Gaza. Protesting the policies of Israel and the United States in Gaza is patriotic. No hate. No war. #gaza #palestine #Israel #freedom #liberty #war #foreignpolicy #protests #religion #middleeast #antisemitism #xenophobia 9chambers.wordpress.com/2025/06/15/p...

Twenty-four hours after it was announced that a documentary focusing on Fatima Hassouna’s life in Gaza would debut at a French independent film festival, parallel to the Cannes film festival, she and ten of her family members were killed during a targeted airstrike on her home in northern Gaza.

I changed the title so it's more representative of the message in the article and I added a more peaceful image. 9chambers.wordpress.com/2025/05/30/1...

My first Substack post open.substack.com/pub/daveweas...

This one goes out to baby "X" for giving his dad, Elon Musk, a black eye. youtu.be/fGx6K90TmCI?...

I just posted my big article on Gender Affirming Care over on my web page. The point of me writing articles like this right now is to provide resources for people that need them (resources like the links in this article). 9chambers.wordpress.com/2025/05/30/1...

BlueSky isn't a bad app. You just don't want to admit that it's an echo chamber. Everyone is too nice here. You miss the excitement of being used and abused on Twitter. You have Battered Tweet Syndrome. Maybe Stockholm Tweet Syndrome. Go to therapy.

I moved the three articles that I posted on Medium (a while back) to my main web page because I know Medium has sort of a limited paywall (you can only view so much at a time). The truth should be free in these insane times (when people need it so much, when people need it to fight literal tyranny).

When are they going to realize that they are only screwing themselves more and more? Anyways, updated this, at the bottom, laws are being broken. wafflesmcgrawl1.substack.com/p/illegal-le...

"Tax cuts for corporations do not create jobs. It doesn't even make sense on its face. Corporations pay taxes on profits. Profits are calculated after expenses like labor." ~ Erica Payne (Founder and President of Patriotic Millionaires, Rally Against GOP Reconciliation Bill, May 13, 2025)

Texas is trying to put the Ten Commandments on display in their schools. Those aren't even the good commandments. Put up the Beatitudes or the Fruit of the Spirit. Put up the parable of the Good Samaritan. Put up the parable of the Sheep and the Goats. Not that any of this should be legal.

Grapplers say every fight ends up on the ground. Boxers say every fight starts standing up. But, technically, you're still on the ground when you're standing up. How many fights start in the air or on the sea? #notallfights #allfightsmatter

You know how the gas pump keeps going for a few pennies after you stop? Years ago, I decided I would stop trying to hit my mark and just buy a few cents (or dollars) less than I wanted every time. Say I was going to get forty dollars in gas: Well, I'd just get $38.47 in gas. No big difference. Myeh.

If you're not creating because you feel like it's too late for you: that feeling won't go away in 5 years, 10 years, or even 20 years. It will feel worse with each passing day. Unless you begin. It's never too late. You have time. Start now.

This powerful moment was forever burnt into my mind the first time I saw it online over a decade ago. Protesting the extreme policies of Israel and the United States concerning Palestine has never been "racist" or "treasonous" or a "terrorist act" but basic human decency. youtu.be/6O5zgXeCynQ?...

This interview with Lori Wallach is essential listening if you want to understand what's going on with tariffs and trade right now. open.spotify.com/episode/1Onx...

I just remembered that I should be stacking two pillows to sleep better. How did I forget that for literal years? I guess I've had a lot on my mind. 😒

In the past, there have been trade wars between two or three countries. Is this the first global trade war (outside of World War II)? Is this the first World Trade War? 🤔

I posted another article on my web page. This one is about how ideas filter through the zeitgeist and what A.I. might change about that process. 9chambers.wordpress.com/2025/05/11/z...

Everyone wants freedom but not always for the same reasons. I want liberty and independence. If you instead want freedom from our laws and regulations so you can gain an advantage over your competition and eventually gain control over everyone and everything around you then we're not the same.
