Mensch left "Heat Street" in mid-December 2016, and launched her own political blog, "Patribotics", in January 2017. The blog is controversial, and cites unnamed sources in the intelligence community, publishing numerous conspiracy theories that have either remained unverified or debunked altogether. Mensch has stated that she prefers the freedom of self-publishing, which having her own blog affords; she told "The Guardian", "I didn't want to be subject to an editing process. Editors would ask: who are your sources? And I can't tell them."
