Walter Rhein PodcastSuggesting a Third Presidential Term Is an Act of TreasonThis morning I was watching my good friend Zuri Stevens on the excellent The Daily Whatever Show. Zuri mentioned that she’d seen one of the corrupt orange nepo baby’s henchmen come on some program and smirk about his plans for a third term. (Watch the episode here).Let’s get one thing straight, there will be no third term for anyone, and anyone who says otherwise needs to go to jail for treason.Don’t start trying to say this is a “free speech” issue either. Free speech doesn’t protect you from giving America...

Walter Rhein PodcastEverything the Republicans Don't Want You To Know About the Epstein FilesHello Everyone!I keep seeing Ellie’s pop up on notes and lives with my other Substack friends. She’s a member of Banner and Backbone and that’s just a great group of wonderful people. Ellie’s been doing a ton of work combing through the thousands of pages of Epstein files.

The UnapologeticsDEATH OF A MAYFLY - Chapter 1Click the above voiceover to hear this chapter read by Walter Rhein of I’d Rather Be Writing.Sweat dripped lazily down my neck, stopping only where my blue polyester blouse pressed up against the pews of the First Baptist Church. Somewhere behind the pulpit an old light bulb buzzed, pointless against the heat of the July sun pouring through the stained glass—graphic depictions of the crucifixion of Christ, the stoning of Stephen, and some sort of haphazard battle of good and evil. I choked silently at the gumminess in my throat, without water for...
