James Howard Kunstler’s Clusterfuck Nation blog is updated Mondays and Fridays. The KunstlerCast podcast and Eyesore of the Month are monthly features. Content from the former website is in the process of migrating here. Read & comment here.

I've been reading Jim Kunstler's stuff for years, long before he added a Substack to his portfolio. You can't find a better, wittier, or more acerbic observer of the insanity of our times.

BigCountryExpat’s Substack

An Old Soldier of Fortune Ranting into the Wind and The World

BigCountry casts his highly experienced, hence highly jaundiced, eye on the events of the day. It's a point of view you won't often see, but it's probably one you should become familiar with.

Simplicius's Garden of Knowledge

Conflict analysis, geopolitical commentary, with a side of culture & politics.

Simply the best observer of, and reporter on, the seismic changes in the ongoing fate of the American Empire.

Independent, working-class journalist. I cover politics, geopolitics, and whatever else interests me. 📝

Don Surber

Still MAGA after all these years. Rush Limbaugh read a few of my columns on the air. Contact DONSURBER@YAHOO.COM in case of an emergency.

Don has been blogging longer than I have, and he just keeps on getting better.

protein wisdom reborn!

By Jeff Goldstein

Politics, language, humor

Jeff Goldstein was a glittering ornament of the OG Blogosphere, back in the day when webloggers were mostly about tech, and looked down upon those of us who arrived because of 9/11, calling us "war bloggers." It was supposed to be a sneer, but we wore it with pride. Jeff was one of the best of us. It's great to have him back.

Who is Robert Malone

By Robert W Malone MD

Politics, homesteading, medicine, science, bioethics, analytics, and a heady mix of sarcasm and life.

Robert Malone has probably saved more lives, both now and in the future, from the depredations of an obscenely powerful pharmaceutical industry, than any man alive.

God, the Devil, lies, wi-fi

One of the smartest and hardest working writers I know. And she'll always be Baldilocks to me.

Culturcidal by John Hawkins

No outrage bait. No namecalling. Just content for conservatives who think our country doesn't get fixed without fixing the culture.

John's been blabbing online as long as I have. There's a reason for that.

The Partisan

By Phisto Sobanii

When they poured across the border I was cautioned to surrender. This I could not do. I took my pen and vanished.

No holds barred. My kind of style.

Glenn Greenwald

Independent, unencumbered analysis and investigative reporting, captive to no dogma or faction.

One of America's great truth-tellers. And paying the usual price for it.

Contemplations on the Tree of Woe

Occasional meditations on depressing topics.

The author shares my somewhat jaundiced view of the world of The Happy People. He seeks the woe, I chart the downsides. The Tree of Woe is full of juicy, if sour, fruit, a perfect antidote for those suffering from an overdose of happiness.
