  The second presidential term of Donald John Trump has been one fraught with abuses of power that threaten to destroy our democracy. There is only one way to check these abuses and begin to repair the damages done to the constitution and heal the lives of those who have been injured in the process. That way is the legal impeachment, conviction and removal of our current president. Submitted for your approval, please find this short, and to-the-point letter draft you can use to contact your representatives. Please read it over.  If you have been following the events involving President Trump’s second term in office. The lies, the crimes committed, the abridgment of our constitutional freedoms, the naked politically motivated prosecutions of those opposing him both in the past and present, then fill in as much of your information as you feel comfortable sharing with your congresspeople and send it to your representatives for your state. It is the first step toward ending th...

  Hello. My name is Frank Austad. I am the man behind the levers of the Franken Honest Substack, the Franken Honest Blog, and the Frank, No Mustard TikTok identity. Until recently I also had a YouTube channel called, Frank – No Mustard. For several years I steadily grew this channel, using AI tools such as InVideo ( www.invideo.io ) while also occasionally shooting videos on my phone or a handy GoPro camera. It was a lot of fun watching my channel grow. My channel dealt with issues such as Climate Change, Voting Rights, Anti-Vax myths, and our national trend toward authoritarianism. Eventually I grew from only a handful of subscribers – about 13 or so, to nearly 40 subscribers – a larger handful. I became interested in the Donald Trump/Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell scandal, and produced a couple of videos about it. While I was on vacation recently, I found that YouTube had deleted my channel. They claimed that my channel violated their community standards for fraud and sp...

 It wasn’t that long ago when the topic of Climate Change was a commonly investigated topic in the United States. Once termed “Global Warming” in the 1980s and 1990s, the phrase still refers to the phenomenon of severely transitioning weather patterns caused by increased atmospheric warming brought on by continued use of fuels and products that release emissions of greenhouse gases. There is some good news about Climate Change, but it is coming from countries other than the United States, the nation that elected a climate change denier, receiving over one billion dollars in campaign contributions from oil, coal and gas providers. The result of which was the defunding of the Natural Weather Service, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). These organizations served to inform those in the target areas of dangerous and sometimes deadly storms of natural disasters coming their way have been crippled by the Executive Branch of the U.S. government. Even a curs...

  According to the ACLU, "Voting rights are under attack nationwide as states pass voter suppression laws.” These laws significantly burden eligible voters trying to exercise their most fundamental constitutional right. Since 2008, various measures such as cuts to early voting, voter ID laws, and voter roll purges have made it harder for Americans—especially Black people, the elderly, students, and people with disabilities—to vote. Voter suppression in the U.S. through legal and illegal actions is designed to prevent eligible citizens from voting. Tactics vary by state and jurisdiction but historically have targeted racial, economic, gender, age, and disability groups. After the Civil War, despite the 15th Amendment, measures like poll taxes and literacy tests were used to restrict African American men from voting. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 brought progress, but suppression tactics persist today. Since the 2013 Supreme Court ruling in She...

  How was your Fourth of July weekend? Some people had a great time. There was a grand show on the Capitol Mall in Washington, D.C. If you saw it with me, for as long as I did, I get most of this kind of coverage from watching reels on YouTube, and I punched out of it early (sorry), you saw vapidly wide-eyed white people singing along with country-inflected anthems. I got away from it before Trump began dancing to the Village People. Other people, on the other hand, endured a darker version of these celebrations. No, I am not speaking of the physical dangers of setting off illicit fireworks displays. I am referring to the migrant hell that those who have been pulled into blank vans by armed groups of masked unaccountable people – ICE agents, presumably, though they seldom carry visible identification to that effect. The Supreme Court also delivered a judgement to further bolster these kinds of offenses. According to a recent story in the Guardian a new Supreme order allows the ...
