Who Are Citizen Journalists?
Jesse Lee Peterson is a reverend, author, and radio personality. He’s fought on the front lines against the Godless Liberals and other Children of the Lie for decades. That has helped make him one of the most controversial black conservatives in America today.
Why Citizen Journalists?
For the time being, this site is mostly just a data dump. Over time, it may become more useful to the outside observer. Who knows?
I don’t claim to be an expert on anyone I write about.
Hell, I hardly claim to be an expert on myself.
These profiles are largely for me. I use them to record and reference. In the future, I may make them more meaningful to the outside observer.
No guarantees. Let’s start small.
Mainstream Rot
Most people know Gary as “that social media guy.” Makes sense. He’s one of—if not the—best at it on the planet.
1st Amendment
Many of my heroes talk about company culture. Gary’s idea of a “Honey Empire” is one of the best.
Voice of Freedom
Gary wants to buy the Jets. Big dream, but he has a practical plan for it. Luckily, he is documenting the journey.

Rise of the Citizen Journalist
I think this is probably the most important development of the Information Age.
It has certainly been one of the most important developments for me.
Freedom of information changed my life.
I might even say that it saved my life.
Hopefully, it can save our country.
Most Americans have lost faith in the mainstream media.
But not as many have found trustworthy outlets to replace them.
The result:
Many Americans get their “news” from social media but only half-believe most of what they hear. While the truth is often only a Google search away, no one wants to fact-check every outrageous headline.
We’ve got sh!t to do and there is only so much time in a day.
Not to mention, fact checking doesn’t always lead you to a single truth.
There Are No Facts, Just Information
^^^ I’m not sure where I first heard this phrase.
But I think it’s so true.
There is a ton of conflicting information. It’s no wonder people have such a hard time figuring out what to believe.
Information overload on a massive scale.
Plus, articles are engineered to stir your emotions. Everything from the headlines to the comment section are designed with “maximum engagement” in mind. Some of these tactics are more manipulative than you know.
You almost need a team to separate facts from opinions.

My Favorite Citizen Journalists
Not all of my favorite journalists consider themselves journalists. Nonetheless, these are the people I trust most to deliver the news.
01
Tim Pool
Tim is probably my favorite person to get news from. I definitely don’t agree with him about everything. In fact, I disagree with him on many mainstream political issues. However, I trust him to do his research and stay balanced.
02
James O'Keefe
Gary Vaynerchuk is the first man the adult me could acknowledge as a “hero.” Without Gary Vee, my hero profiles might not even exist. Certainly, the whole idea of a G.O.A.T. Rank is a tribute to my admiration for him.
03
Glenn Beck
Naruto is the most inspiring character I’ve ever come across. What I’ve learned from him is unique. And yet, his story seems inevitable, almost perfect. Watching Naruto, I felt as if it was written from my own heart.
04
Dave Rubin

Kim Iversen
Vishen may be the man I look up to more than any other. His mission of education reform may be the most important of any of my heroes. Over the long-term he may be the favorite for the top spot.
How Citizen Journalists Make a Difference
Journalists are a crucial pillar of our free republic. Too often, we take them for granted.
When it comes to moticuts, I like a bit of variety. The first ones to catch my ear were true compilations. I think the combination of voices may amplify the power. true compilations. I think the combination of.

The Gold Card works like most cards that offer reward points. You earn points for every dollar you spend.
- 4x at Supermarkets
- 4x at Restaurants
- 3x on Flights
- 1x on Everything Else
AMEX Membership Rewards points are redeemable for a variety of things but offer the best value for travel.
Life Teachers
Many premium credit cards offer credits in one form or another. The Gold Card’s nearly cover the annual fee.
- $120 Dining Credit
- $100 Airline Fee Credit
- Baggage Insurance
- Car Rental Insurance
Terms apply for everything but do it right and these benefits alone could give you a positive expected value.
Money Teachers
Many credit cards offer peripheral benefits that may add value for you. The Gold Card has one of the best lineups.
- The Hotel Collection
- The Travel Collection
- AMEX Offers
- AMEX Access & Preferred Seating
Most users probably don’t need these to get positive expected value from the Gold Card. But they are available.
Life Coaches
American Express seems to be transitioning away from charge cards.
Over the years, many of their most popular cards have been charge cards, including the Gold Card.
“You can carry a balance with interest¤ on eligible charges of $100 or more, giving you more control over the amount you pay. When your payment is due, you can choose to pay your Account Total New Balance, the minimum due or any amount in between, with interest.‡”

Setting the New 20s Off Right: My 2020 Goals
New Year's Resolutions get a bad wrap. It's not their fault though. It's yours. The truth is: The beginning of the year is a perfect time for a reset. You have to execute though. Do it right and this year could be the best year you've ever had. No guarantees. Because,...
Setting Goals for 2019
I have mixed feelings about New Year's Resolutions. I don't believe in waiting to make changes. I think it makes more sense to try to grow everyday. Create good new habits. Erase the negative old ones. Do it all the time. However, I find that measurement is...
Playing for Four Quarters
I believe that everything is training for the next thing. At 30 years old, I am finally stepping into my own. I had a lot of bad habits to shed. I also had a lot to learn about life. I’m grateful that I “woke up” as early as I did. Now, I can conceptualize 10, 20,...
