kHey folks! This monthly roundup includes a year in review. This was the first full year of JoeWrote, and I have to say it was a spectacular experience, thanks to all of you.

I hope you enjoyed what I wrote this year. I’m looking forward to an even better 2023, filled with more content, interviews, and engaging discussions of how we can better our world.

I’ll see you there! — Joe

By far, the most viewed post from this year was my critique of the Uvalde Police in their failure to save the lives of the 21 people killed in the July massacre. Fair warning, it’s pretty heavy.

Blue Lives Matter More Than Yours
When it comes to this newsletter, my job is to mix analysis with humor to entertain and inform readers. Today, I did not do my job. There’s no humor in the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Once again, we find ourselves trapped in a grotesque Groundhog Day. It’s America’s…

On a much lighter note, the “Read & Roast” of Dave Rubin’s new book was a fun way to explore the psyche of the American Right, while poking fun at them of course.

Reading & Roasting #1: Dave Rubin's RNC Cash Grab
Recently, I turned on paid subscriptions. Though all posts will remain available for all now, I’d really appreciate your financial support. Subscribing supports my work and ensures I can continue creating content to popularize Left ideas (and make fun of right-wingers). Whether you subscribe or not, I hope you enjoy…

Book & Media Recommendation

In a bit of self-promotion, I suggest you check out Imperial Sundown, a World War II thriller written by yours truly. I promise you’ll enjoy it, even if you’re not a typical fan of military fiction.

>Click here for Imperial Sundown <

I’m currently halfway through the podcast series Mother Country Radicals, which covers the history of the Weather Underground, a radical revolutionary group that operated in the 1970s. I highly recommend it if you’re looking to learn about under-discussed topics of American history.

Mother Country Radicals - An Audacy Original

Music Recommendation

Bliss n Eso, an Australian hip-hop group, re-recorded their song “Pale Blue Dot” with the Brisbane Symphony Orchestra. It slaps.

Worth a Read

The Intercept dove into the recently released JFK files. Though some parts are still under seal, the slow trickle of files hints at the long-suspected notion that the CIA had some hand in the assassination.

As a new Call of Duty was recently released, I’ve unlocked last year’s post on how the franchise has supported the propaganda of the American Empire.

Badass of the Year

I’m giving this year’s award to Agent Jack Ryan. Not the Office Jim version running around the world on Amazon video, but the real agent Jack Ryan who was persecuted for refusing to investigate leftist peace groups during the Vietnam War.
