But even I don’t think he uses or needs to use ghostwriters. You can tell they’re not ghostwriters by the writing style which really doesn’t deviate at all. Why they can’t keep guest bloggers I have no idea, but think it’s a little weird? I assume it has something to do with a money.

No offense to him, but he’s not a very good writer which is one of the ways you can tell there’s no ghostwriter.

His blog business didn't make him so much money because he's a very good writer. His blog business became a business success because he was able to get and keep an audience with his content and because he was able to make the right partnerships to make a success of his blog as a business. He has been an adequate enough writer to not let writing get in the way of the blog becoming a success as a business. That's good enough for me.

I’m someone whose been critical of OMAAT because I don’t like the turn the blog has taken into a leftist political agenda against Trump on a lot of posts. However, I do think Ben has been curtailing this activity (somewhat) which I appreciate.

Snowflakes think that every time someone talks about Trump without saying that he is our lord and saviour it means that you have a leftist political agenda, thus the comment [redacted]. In reality, Ben takes a few jabs here and there at Trump, mostly making fun of a few things he said, nothing especially political.

Ladies & Gentlemen, Dear Kids,
the political agenda discussion has been already chewed upon some time ago. Lets leave it at that.

I happened to notice Lucky's post today on the China/US airlines situation and possible US action. I thought it was good in that he went into background detail about the issue with what China has been doing and what led to this point. The other blogs I noticed that posted about it just had a brief blurb that made it seem like the pending US announcement came out of nowhere.
