There are three kinds of lies, as the old saying goes: lies, damned lies, and statistics. But it takes a particular brand of scoundrel—the kind who wears a suit of grievance and a hat of hollow pride—to take a perfectly good percentage and stretch it until it snaps the neck of the truth.

The Hollow Holler
Featured
I‘ve spent thirty years underground, breathing in the dust and history of these Appalachian hills. Now, in late 2025, my breath comes short, a rattling reminder of the price we paid for “keeping the lights on.” They call it Black Lung; I call it the sound of a man running out of time. But lately, it ain’t just the miners who are wheezing—it’s the whole state. We’re witnessing what the folks in suits call “demographic decline,” but down here, it just feels like we’re being erased.

Venezuela’s Rare Earth Resources
Featured
The focus on Venezuela’s resource wealth extends far beyond its vast oil reserves. The mineral Coltan, known in its refined form as Tantalum, represents a critical strategic vulnerability for the United States, placing Venezuela’s Orinoco Mining Arc squarely within the Pentagon’s defense planning.

Slavery Sparked America’s First Opioid Wave.
Featured
Before the headlines about OxyContin, before the fentanyl crisis took over the streets, and way before the Sackler family became a household name, America was already battling a massive opioid beast.

Exploring Genetic Links
Featured
Genetic research often reveals uncomfortable truths for those clinging to ideologies of separation, and nowhere is this more evident than in the legacy of Henrietta Lacks. Her cells, known as HeLa, were harvested from a Black woman in 1951 and became the first immortal human cell line, fundamentally changing the landscape of modern medicine. This biological immortality mocks the very concept of racial hierarchy, as these cells became the universal standard for human cellular biology, irrespective of race.

Federal Marijuana Law Fuels the Trucking Labor Gap
Featured
The U.S. trucking business is bleedin’ drivers, and it ain’t no mystery why. We got a mess right here in this country where what’s fine in your home state can get you fired by Uncle Sam. Folks are legalizin’ that marijuana left and right, but the federal government. The one that gives out them CDLs still treats marijuana like the devil’s lettuce. That head-buttin’ between state and federal law is the biggest darn reason our trucker pool is dryin’ up, causin’ a big ol’ hole in our supply chain.

The Healing Hustle, Healthcare’s Big Money Problem.
Featured
Yo, let’s break it down. At its heart, medicine is supposed to be about one thing: keeping people healthy. It’s a mission. But on the streets of the healthcare world, that mission is constantly clashing with a powerful hustle: the push for profit. We’re talking about the big players—insurance giants, drug companies, medical device makers, and even the top-dog specialists—all in a system where the bottom line can sometimes shout louder than a patient’s needs. This ain’t just a local issue; it’s a global struggle between care and cash. Continue reading
