So, you want to be a contributor? That’s wonderful! I wrote some basic style guidelines that I try to follow when I write my articles. I’d appreciate if you followed them too, but at the same time I don’t want to govern your creative process. Look them over. If you’re interested, fill out the form below, then submit it. Not conservative? You’re welcome here. The only real “rules” of this website are you must remain civil and do not advocate for illegal activities.
“If it doesn’t sound like Ken’s saying it to your face with a bourbon in hand, rewrite it.”
🔊 VOICE & TONE
Bold, plainspoken, and unapologetically real
Feels like one-on-one conversation, not a lecture
Uses sarcasm, dry humor, and emotional clarity — but never whiny or melodramatic
Occasional cursing is okay — used to punctuate disbelief, injustice, or stupidity
Golden Rule:
Write it like you’re fed up, but still trying to make your case to someone who might actually listen if they’d stop interrupting.
📣 SENTENCE STRUCTURE & RHYTHM
Short paragraphs (2–5 lines max)
Use sentence fragments when it feels natural:
“Not a coincidence.”
“You see where this is going.”Ask rhetorical questions to keep the reader thinking:
“Sound familiar?”
“What does that tell you?”
Avoid run-on sentences unless they create a snowball effect of rising tension or irony.
🧰 VOCABULARY DO’S AND DON’TS
Do Use:
Real-world idioms: “throw them under the bus,” “pull the strings,” “lipstick on a pig”
Colorful analogies:
“Like a drunk puppet in a windstorm”
“They folded faster than a dollar-store lawn chair”
Avoid:
Academic or overly formal language (e.g. “henceforth,” “vis-à-vis,” “heretofore”)
Techno-jargon or legalese unless it’s explained plainly
🤬 SWEARING POLICY
Adults only = fair game
Curse words should emphasize a point, not be filler
Acceptable examples:
“This shit isn’t normal.”
“You can’t seriously believe that crap.”Avoid: Gratuitous profanity, overuse that numbs impact, or attacking real people with slurs
If in doubt: leave one in and cut two.
📚 FACTS & SOURCING
If you’re stating a fact (quote, event, claim), you better be ready to back it up
You can editorialize after you explain what happened
Don’t rely on hearsay unless clearly framed:
“According to leaked reports…”
“Eyewitnesses claim…”
Use links when you’ve got ‘em. Otherwise, name-drop sources (e.g., Fox, Reuters, Ground News, SCOTUS Blog)
🪞 REFLECTIVE MOMENTS
Every now and then, pause to zoom out:
Add a personal reflection:
“I remember when this country didn’t tolerate this kind of crap.”
Or a big-picture gut-punch:
“This isn’t just about politics. This is about trust — and they burned it to the ground.”
These sections build emotional resonance. Don’t skip them.
💡 SIGNATURE PHRASES
Use (or echo) these phrases sparingly to unify tone:
“You can’t make this shit up.”
“Straight to voicemail.” (to describe silence/dodging)
“Let that sink in.”
“We’re supposed to believe this is normal?”
“Like we wouldn’t notice.”
🚫 DON’T SOUND LIKE THIS
📉 Robotic: “This is unacceptable behavior by government actors.”
💤 Academic: “In accordance with longstanding policy precedent…”
🥱 Generic: “We must do better as a nation.” (Yawn.)
📝 FINAL RULE
If you wouldn’t say it out loud in a half-irritated, half-witty tone to a friend over drinks?
Don’t publish it.
A bold political opinion site blending sharp wit, neurodivergent insight, and unapologetic truth. Expect satire, serious takes, and logic that sidesteps convention to challenge narratives and spark real conversation.
