I Need Your Support

This year was a massive success. Readers made it possible.

This Substack newsletter is not like other Substack newsletters. Many of my colleagues focus on analyzing trends and providing commentary on the news. There is a lot of value to this kind of content, but my own approach is somewhat different. I’m not satisfied with commenting on the news, but instead prefer to drive the news and deliver political results. Because of this, I do not publish an endless stream of small pieces, but spend a lot of time doing deep reporting and converting my stories into activist campaigns.

This year, a number of these stories have changed American politics. Here are the big wins from 2025:

• Our “counter-revolution blueprint” inspired the Trump Administration to abolish the DEI bureaucracy across the federal government.

• Our reporting on the National Security Agency’s secret transgender sex chatroom led to the firing of more than 100 NSA employees.

• Our pressure campaign derailed left-wing administrator Santa Ono’s nomination for the University of Florida presidency.

• Our “Manhattan Statement on Higher Education” helped shape the principles of higher education reform that have been adopted by the Trump Administration.

• Our exclusive reporting on Minnesota’s Somali fraud rings set off a major national news cycle and inspired President Trump to revoke the special immigration status of Somali migrants.

All of this was made possible, in part, by readers of this newsletter. For the past three years, I’ve built the newsletter to 120,000 subscribers and 4,500 paid subscribers, who help keep the business of this newsletter in operation—including a small team of employees and freelancers and a small television studio at our office in Gig Harbor, Washington.

As you prepare for the holidays, I hope you, too, will support this work by becoming a paid subscriber. I have a goal of increasing the number of paid subscribers to 5,000 before the end of the year, which means 500 of you will need to sign up. If you’re already a paid subscriber, you can consider a gift subscription to friends and family. If you have yet to become a paid subscriber, please sign up now and get 20% off the first year.
