Hey,
Every week throws challenges at me. See the title using Never-Dull. A long time ago I had a can of Never-Dull on my desk at Easyriders in my office in Malibu. One day four 1%er members stormed my office with some complaint. I don’t remember what it was.
One of the members built something for me, a steel bed, but then he told folks I owed him money. This was the perfect time to confront him about it and I did. We straightened it out face to face. After they left an associate came anxiously into my office. I turned the polish can at her which said Never Dull. That was the truth.
Since taking over Easyriders, it’s like that every week. Right now the controversy revolves around social media and our moves to organize and improve our reach.
This news is going to be wild. I have so much to share with you including our new Bandanas with art by George Fleming. He’s been with me for over 22 years. He teaches college animation at Long Beach State.
Hell, we just received a special order for these quality hoodies and have a few left over. They should be in the shop shortly.

THE MID-TERMS–It’s critical we all get out and vote. Here’s something we are working on for the next issue, the Jan/Feb. I sent it to Chris Cox for his blessing and he said he would try to get a thumbs up from the President. It’s beyond critical as you will see. This could be the most important article I’ve ever been involved with.

THE AMERICAN WAR CRY
Never Give Up, Never Surrender
America is under attack from its own government
This is an open letter to every representative in the American Congress who belongs to the party of Republicans, those who pledge to support our Constitutional Republic.
Our collective bullshit filter is full. We “tolerated” it when ANTIFA burned down of hard-working American’s businesses, attacking our brothers and sister in blue, trashing our cities and daring to declare “no-go zones” on American soil.
We “tolerated” the phony violence machine, funded and fueled by corporate giants who were extorted from while attempting to start a Color Revolution.
We “tolerated” the hijacking of our Department of Justice and oath-breaking federal agents spying on parents at school-board meetings.
We “tolerated” a bioweapon called “COVID-19.” We “tolerated” the lawless, revolving “mask mandates” that egregiously superseded any and all legislative limits, as pot stores and liquor stores stayed open and churches were shut down and pastors were dragged through the streets in handcuffs.
Consider us officially intolerant. We at Easyriders and the bikers of this great land, We the People, hereby command you Republican representatives to stand and deliver like it’s 1776, to earn your paycheck.
President Trump is re-shoring ALL American industry and manufacturing, bringing back critical jobs, and in doing so is rebuilding our economy and national security against our worst enemies.
They thought they had America by the throat and that we would tap out. But in 2016 a coordinated effort by Great Americans put a business genius with balls that clank in the White House despite massive election rigging and the American System was back on the table.
But it’s time to step up once more. It’s critical.
We will take back 100% of our manufacturing. We will take back 100% of our energy independence. We will take back our health. We will take back our medical system. We will take back our education system. We will take back our food production. We will take back OUR ELECTIONS. We will take back our military. We will take back our Department of Justice. We will take back our currency. We will take back our borders and our sovereignty. We will take back our churches. We will take back everything.
We of Easyriders and the American bikers across this nation have President Trump’s back. We understand what he is doing. We understand the complexity of this operation. We have studied it thoroughly.
We are the blue-collar warfighters who have never let this nation down, never backed down from any enemy foreign or domestic and never let this land or this Constitutional Republic be taken from the next generation of Americans. We are done with the bullshit, so we created the following mantra.
The American Way: Time to Step Up
America is under attack from its own government. Prices are high because of reckless spending. The borders were open on purpose. Cities are lawless. Schools are indoctrinating kids. Washington protects itself while punishing the people who built this country.
This is still the greatest nation in history—because of liberty, work, borders, and the belief that Americans can build a better life. That system is being dismantled by design. The job is simple: stop the destruction and restore what works.
Illegal immigration is not compassion. It is an assault on wages, schools, hospitals, and safety. Deport the criminals. End the invasion. Citizens first—no debate.
Restore order. Crime, open drug use, and homelessness are policy choices, not mysteries. BLM-era chaos and soft-on-crime prosecutors failed. Lock people up. Clean the streets. Back the police. No more excuses.
Unleash energy and manufacturing. End the climate-doom regulations and ESG nonsense that makes energy expensive and punishes homeowners, drivers, truckers, and travelers. Bring jobs home so one paycheck feeds a family again.
Cut taxes and kill the bureaucracy. Working people keep their money. Government shrinks. Bureaucrats stop treating Americans as the problem. Zero policies are anti-freedom mandates.
Kill the broader cultural war on women, free speech, and basic reality. That all ends now. Protect women’s sports and spaces. Parents control education. Censorship by government or its allies is the opposite of America. Teach kids to work, tell the truth, and love their country.
Reject the punishment society. Climate rules, open borders, and identity politics have been used to make life harder for ordinary people. Supporting humanity means higher living standards, not lower ones. Anti-American hatred from the left has no place in power, that’s tyranny.
End the corruption. Officials either work for the people or they are gone. Honesty and integrity are non-negotiable. We will not tolerate self-dealing at any level.
These are the basics that built America. They come from our founding: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Government protects those rights or it is the enemy of them.
We stand with President Trump because the alternative has already failed. Every elected official who claimed to put America first has one job: deliver. Cut the bureaucracy. Enforce the law. Defend free speech and American families. No more delays. No more quiet resistance. Do it, or the voters will replace you.
We the people—workers, farmers, cops, nurses, veterans, parents—are done waiting. Blue-collar America carried this country. We will back leaders who get results and remove those who don’t.
America’s best days are ahead if we choose them. Protect what works. Eliminate what doesn’t.
The work starts now. America is only GREAT if we decide to make it that way every day.

I’ve had this watch band for decades. It fits with Sturgis and the West, so I went after finding a watch. Today, there are zillions of watch styles, sizes, band widths, you name it. I finally found this Seiko. Let’s see how long it lasts. I’m tough on watches.
It’s whiskey Thursday and I can’t wait. There’s so much going on in life and shit is changing fast. The best advice I can give anyone is to study mindfulness and meditation. No matter what you’re thinking today, you can change it tomorrow.
