Fighting Back
The American family court system was designed to protect the best interests of children. But for many parents—especially those who dare to represent themselves or question the system’s integrity—it has become a nightmare factory where justice is replaced by punishment, due process is a joke, and the price of protecting your child is your life savings, your reputation, and your sanity.

Who Broke the Family?
In America’s crumbling family court system, the question that won’t go away is this: Who’s responsible? Who in Congress or the White House signed off on laws that—intentionally or not—enabled corruption, incentivized custody battles, and tore families apart in the name of “justice”?

Top 10 Worst Politicians for Family Values
In America, “family values” is a phrase politicians love to shout on campaign trails — while quietly supporting policies that dismantle the very institution they claim to protect. Behind the patriotic speeches and photo ops with babies lie decades of destructive legislation, judicial overreach, and systemic rot that have turned family courts into profit centers and made children pawns of bureaucracy.

Wednesday Season 2’s Surprising Rotten Tomatoes Score
Wednesday Season 2 has arrived on Netflix and the reaction from critics has been unexpectedly positive with a Rotten Tomatoes score that surprised both fans and industry insiders alike Early reviews have given the season a fresh rating in the low 80s surpassing Season 1’s score of 73 percent and signaling that the show is finding stronger footing with critics The season began with Part 1 of its new story arc released on August 6 2025 consisting of the first four episodes of the season With just over 50 reviews counted the critical consensus places Wednesday Season 2 between 79 and 84 percent depending on the source Some publications report an 81 percent score while others cite 82 or even 84 giving the season a Certified Fresh label on Rotten Tomatoes This improvement may not seem dramatic at first glance but in the world of streaming television where sequels often struggle to retain freshness and originality a jump of 8 to 11 percent is considered a notable achievement For fans of the series the news confirms what they have long believed Wednesday is not just a viral sensation but a show capable of critical growth and narrative depth Jenna Ortega once again anchors the show with a performance that critics are calling darker sharper and more emotionally nuanced than her breakout in Season 1 Her portrayal of Wednesday Addams continues to be the soul of the series with many reviews praising her command of dry wit combined with increasingly complex emotional stakes The second season leans more heavily into horror elements and expands its world with more Addams family involvement which reviewers have described as bold creative and sometimes even gothic in scope Despite the acclaim not all reviews are glowing Some critics argue that the pacing remains uneven and that the show occasionally buckles under the weight of its multiple plotlines One review called the story formulaic another said the tone sometimes shifts too quickly from quirky to grim But these critiques are currently outweighed by the praise as evidenced by the overall Rotten Tomatoes score which suggests broad approval across a diverse group of outlets Compared to Season 1 which debuted in late 2022 with 105 critic reviews and a 73 percent score the early momentum for Season 2 suggests it could ultimately finish with a higher overall average especially once Part 2 of the season drops in September The structure of Season 2 split into two parts has also helped build anticipation Netflix confirmed that Part 2 will premiere on September 3 2025 offering viewers the rest of the season and likely prompting another wave of reviews and possibly an updated Rotten Tomatoes rating Interestingly Netflix renewed the show for a third season in July 2025 before Season 2 was even released indicating strong internal confidence in the series The early Rotten Tomatoes performance only reinforces that bet with many outlets already referring to Season 2 as a creative success and a sign of growth not decline The Rotten Tomatoes score has become an increasingly influential benchmark for streaming success and while viewership numbers remain important critical reception can significantly impact the longevity of a series In this case Wednesday has managed to both retain its massive fan base and improve its standing among critics an increasingly rare feat for serialized streaming content where second seasons often falter Wednesday’s Season 2 has proven it can evolve beyond its debut season’s novelty embracing more ambitious storytelling and deeper character development while still delivering the macabre humor and stylistic flair that fans love Jenna Ortega’s performance remains a centerpiece but stronger ensemble work more dynamic writing and more daring creative risks appear to be paying off With only half the season released the critical conversation is likely just beginning but based on the current Rotten Tomatoes score Wednesday Season 2 is off to a better than expected start and could cement the show as one of Netflix’s most valuable original properties in the long term Whether the final episodes sustain or elevate the early praise remains to be seen but for now Wednesday’s return is not just successful it’s surprisingly well received by critics too

Forget Epstein’s Ghost—It’s Time Trump Took Aim at the Real Threat
While the media froths at the mouth over every crumb from the Epstein files, America’s broken family court system continues to devour families in silence. Enough is enough. It's time for President Trump—and every lawmaker with a spine—to prioritize fixing the rigged, unaccountable, and often abusive family court system. If you care about freedom, families, or even just fiscal responsibility, there is no greater crisis quietly burning through this country.

The Ballad of Staten Island’s Fearless DA: Michael “Stranger Danger” McMahon
If Staten Island ever rebooted The Sopranos as a courtroom drama, they'd cast Michael E. McMahon in the lead. Not because he’s particularly talented, charismatic, or compelling—but because he’s got the one thing that matters most in Richmond County justice: unchecked power wrapped in a smile and a “D” next to his name.

The Fascist Facebook Regime: Going to Jail and Getting Sprung
I have just been released from jail, Facebook jail that is, and for the moment, I’m free. There is nothing that rings my bell quite like the smell of cowardice. Rattling the cages of the patriarchal elite sends energy through my system like the sweet rush of an adrenaline-fueled adventure.
