There’s Nothing Worse Than The ‘New Year, New Me’ Crowd

It’s the start of a new year, and that means we’re going to have plenty of the “new year, new me” garbage to deal with.

There are lots of things that annoy me. I get annoyed when my Mountain Dew isn’t cold in the morning, when the refs screw the Detroit Lions like its their job, when a bar doesn’t carry Miller Lite and a variety of other things. However, none of those things annoy me as much as the morons who run around saying dumb stuff about how it’s a new year and they’re changing their lives.

No they’re not.

A clock simply striking midnight and a day changing isn’t going to change your life. It’s just not. Also, why is everybody in such a rush to do this motivational stuff every single year? It makes no sense to me. You know what my life motto is? New year and the exact same me.

Why the hell would I want to ever change? I just spent the last two weeks eating nothing but cheeseburgers, blowing stuff up with custom-made guns and surviving -20 degree weather in the Wisconsin countryside. Why would anybody want to change anything about that?

This fake motivational garbage needs to come to a quick end. Embrace the chaos. I promise life will be a lot more fun. Just do whatever you want. You want to drink a case of beer? Go for it. Want to drop $4,000 on a custom AR-15 build? I’m cheering for you. Want to eat nothing but red steak? Shoot for the moon. Do whatever you want, forget all this wellness junk, crack another beer and give society the finger if they don’t like it.

Only a complete idiot or loser would want to change where we’re at after all the winning we’ve been doing. I have zero interest in giving up any of my habits. That includes the good and the bad. I plan to continue taking my rightful place as king of the internet, drinking way too much beer, keep blowing stuff up, continue to be the most passionate Badgers fan on the planet and all the other debauchery that has made me who I am. There is zero chance I’m changing. I don’t care if it’s 2018 or 3018. Don’t like it? That’s okay. I’ve got a simple message for you.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
