Tom Adkins

Tom Adkins (born January 13, 1958) is an American political pundit, political writer, public speaker, real-estate investor, TV Producer and show host.

Adkins is widely recognized by his 18-inch tattoo of Ronald Reagan [1].

Tom Adkins political writing career began as a prolific letters-to-the-editor campaign to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Inquirer editors eventually asked him to contribute op-ed pieces, and Adkins became notorious for attacking controversial subjects with a hard-right, confrontational approach. Numerous articles were picked up nationally, along with viral internet distribution. Dissatisfied with the members-only process of selecting contributors by most national conservative publications, Adkins united with similarly disaffected conservative internet writers to form the web magazine "CommonConservative.com."

A few notable articles:

Eventually, Adkins writing gained national exposure and numerous republications in local and national magazines and newspapers. CommonConservative.com eventually folded as Adkins aimed his career towards radio and television appearances.

Adkins television appearances began on Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher in September 1999. This created opportunities for various TV appearances at local Philadelphia ABC affiliate WPVI in Philadelphia, then Comcast CN8 in Philadelphia and eventually CNN and Fox News Channel.

Adkins currently hosts "Tommy's Garage," a political/pop culture lampoon show.
