I’m Brian Bateman, a Wisconsin native with a passion for helping people navigate today’s complex information landscape. My goal is simple: to distinguish fact from fiction and promote clarity in a world filled with noise. I’m driven by a commitment to honesty, integrity, and accountability in both public discourse and personal actions.

With a background in computer science and a keen focus on data analysis, I’ve made it my mission to break down political claims and societal issues in a way that’s clear and grounded in evidence. I believe people deserve access to reliable information, free from manipulation or hidden agendas.

While I am critical of behaviors that harm society—like dishonesty, exploitation, and environmental degradation—my critiques come from a strong desire for fairness and transparency. I believe in holding everyone, from individuals to institutions, accountable for their actions. I support policies that protect our environment, ensure justice, and promote a fair economy where everyone contributes their fair share, including billionaires and corporations.

Through my work, I strive to give readers the tools to recognize misinformation and hold public figures accountable for their words and actions. I hope to empower individuals to make informed choices, foster transparency, and ultimately contribute to a more just and truthful society.
