Hi, my name is JohnBreneman.com, but you can call me John Breneman, for short.

So John, you may find yourself asking:
- What’s all this about This Day in (Revisionist) History?
- And why should I care (and subscribe)?

This Day in (Revisionist) History is a mini-time capsule daily newsletter in which I take the This Day in History theme and zap it with a Revisionist twist … embellishing the actual events of the day with cerebral slapstick wordplay, punch lines and fun curated videos! 

This Day in (Revisionist) History honors real history by offering you a delightful daily smorgasbord of alleged jocularity. After all, “Those who do not laugh in the face of history are doomed to repeat it.”

Sharp-eyed daily readers of our Revisionist History communiqué will delight in discovering more about:

Albert Einstein, the mega-genius who furthered mankind's understanding of its own foolishness with his ground-breaking Theory of Relative Idiocy.

That day in 1922 when, after shrinking from 141 lbs. down to 96 during a hunger strike, Mahatma Gandhi was sentenced to prison for "shrivel disobedience."

Philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s description of man as a “Know-it-all savage.”

That upon its publication in 1859, critics pooh-poohed Charles Darwin’s “On the Origin of Feces.”

President James Monroe, the fifth U.S. president and author of the racy and controversial Marilyn Monroe Doctrine.

The Supreme Court’s 1973 Faux v. Wade decision ruling that every fetus has the God-given right to own a gun.

To paraphrase the legendary French philosopher Rene Descartes (c. 1637): “I subscribe to This Day in (Revisionist) History, therefore I am.”

Who am I ??

A writer since birth who is finally devoting full time to my creative “life’s work.” Reveling in a period of previously unmatched creative inspiration and motivation.

Cranking out This Day in (Revisionist) History and publishing it on Substack is a game-changing new chapter. I am inspired by the possibilities I see on this publishing platform to connect with readers. And with other writers and creators, imagineers and idea makers!

Here, I see so many writers who inspire me:

is now rocking Substack! That’s the best Real News about Fake News that I’ve heard all day.

(Speaking of fake news, this just is from my elite liberal media alter ego, Triple Action News anchorman Reid Page: “Cruel, Demented Lunatic Wins GOP Presidential Primary.”)

In addition to launching my new Triple Action Humor Magazine, other projects include working on novels (first one published; second in the works), a short film (nearly complete), a screenplay (back burner) and of course my fun, under-construction website empire.
