A citizen's reference · Independent & unaffiliated

The Public Ledger

Itemized, sourced accounts of documented conduct in American government. No editorializing about motive; every claim carries its date, its sources, and its evidentiary status on its face.

Each ledger below is a standalone reference and states its method on its own page. Where evidence varies, entries are labeled: official records and court filings are Documented, investigative reporting is Reported, unresolved matters are In litigation — and where an allegation was investigated and not established, the entry says so, for either party.

The Ledgers
The Money Ledger

Financial conflicts and self-dealing involving the Trump and Biden administrations and their families — foreign payments, crypto ventures, pardons, settlements, and court findings, 2014 to today.

The Rivals Ledger

“A pathological liar.” “A cancer on conservatism.” “Not yet ready to be president.” What 58 rivals said about the four men who went on to beat them — Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden — and what followed for each: a cabinet seat, an ambassadorship, the vice presidency, or nothing. Verbatim, dated, and sourced, from every debate transcript of five primary fields, 2000 to 2024.

The claims of 2020 election fraud versus what courts, audits, and officials actually found — claim by claim, case by case.

The Retaliation Ledger

Presidents who turned state power on citizens, critics, and institutions — prosecutions, audits, surveillance, license threats — from the Sedition Act of 1798 to the present. Insult separated from retaliation, episode by episode, with the target's status and the process on every entry.

In preparation
The Insults Ledger

Sitting presidents on named individuals — remarks about appearance, intelligence, sanity, and worth, quoted verbatim, dated, and counted, one card per person targeted. The patterns visible by target: women, journalists, judges, private citizens. Where words escalated into state power, the card crosses to the Retaliation Ledger.

Corrections are welcome — every entry lists its sources, and the standard is applied evenly regardless of party. That discipline is the point.
