FROM GLENN DAMATO:  The Far Shore: Sovereign Command.

Sudden independence breeds chaos.

Cristina Flores returns in this thrilling sequel to The Far Shore. Can young men and women—none of them trained astronauts—learn to cooperate and survive on Mars? Is self-determination possible for those who grew up under an authoritarian government? Along with the most grueling struggles ever faced by humans, the tiny colony is now threatened by a new menace that could extinguish their hard-won freedom forever.

If you enjoy bold heroes, convincing technolgy, and science fiction in the classic tradition, you’ll love Glenn Damato’s The Far Shore series.

EUGENE VOLOKH: When Government Urges Private Entities to Restrict Others’ Speech.

EDUCATION: WATCH: Cubans Give College Students A Lesson On Communism.

WELL… HE IS A DEAD WHITE MALE:  Today’s blacklisted American: 19th century poet Walt Whitman.

Time to tell them so are Marx, Gramsci and FDR.  Joe Biden is merely brain dead.

I PREFER HOSPITALS THAT TREAT PATIENTS AS INDIVIDUALS, NOT AS AVATARS OF RACIAL GROUPS:  Medical schools address health disparities in Wisconsin.

IT’S NOT AMERICAN:  The American descent into madness.

We are occupied by a Junta that seized control illegally and which is, in turn, controlled by enemy powers.

Americans are just getting angrier.

IT’S EUROPE. BOTCHED WARNINGS ARE A WAY OF LIFE:  Floods wreak havoc in western Europe; botched warnings.

IT’S TIME AND PAST TIME WE TOLD THESE PEOPLE WHERE THEY GET OFF:  Democrats Trying to Sneak Amnesty Into Massive Budget Bill Using Reconciliation.

Meanwhile any illegals coming in are ignorant of history. And will be very surprised when the end turns sharp.

BAH. BRING IT. WE’LL MAKE YOU CRY MORE THAN THE INDIAN ARMY DID:   China Threatens to Deal a “Head-on Blow” to U.S. Over Sanctions on Chinese Officials.

Look, you can think of yourself as the Middle Kingdom all you want, but you’re not the center of the universe.

THE HEIGHT OF HYPOCRISY:  More Maskless Texas Democrats Test Positive for COVID-19.

Say they represent the people, but run away to avoid passing measures the majority supports.  Say they believe in antropogenic “climate change” but use a private jet for their little stunt. Want everyone in a muzzle, but pack into a plane unmasked.

Oh, and drink Miller light, which is not hypocritical, just horrible taste.

Let’s face it guys, Texas democrats are trash.

NO PROBLEM. I’VE BOYCOTTED COP-KILLER ICE CREAM FOR OVER A DECADE NOW:   Ben & Jerry’s To Boycott “Occupied Palestinian Territory” Including Ancient Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem

WELL, OF COURSE:  Iran Delays Prisoner Swap And Nuke Talks.

IT’S ALL NO THINK AND DOUBLE SPEAK:  Biden Backs Off Facebook Comments With New Spin.

YOU GET MORE OF WHAT YOU REWARD:  Chesa Boudin’s free pass for shoplifters drives San Francisco store owners to lock all goods behind glass cases.

BECOMING? SURE, LET’S GO WITH THAT:  The ‘Silent Majority’ Is Rapidly Becoming the ‘Angry Majority’.

Look, there is a reason the left started being afraid we would fly the Romanian flag. (Seriously.)

THINGS ARE GOING TO BE A LITTLE WEIRD AS WE — HOPEFULLY — MANAGE OUR MOVE OVER THE NEXT 2 MONTHS:  So you know, the mostly indie promo post might not always be on Sundays.

But we’ll try to be quick about it and return to normal (ish) as soon as possible.

IT’S JUST THE NEW TERM FOR “LOOTERS AND WRECKERS”:  The Leftist Lunacy Called ‘White Rage’.

The Marxists figure out the only reason their paradise hasn’t materialized/bad things are happening is for their “enemies” to be attacking because of how successful the Marxists are. This is how I became a White Mormon Male upset because of women, immigrants, minorities and gay people writing science fiction. The fact I’m three of those and write the fourth often is apparently not important. Because the only reason to be upset at oh, awards being given to politically correct (and unreadable) fiction is because I’m upset at the advancement of the “other.”  Bah.

It’s delusional, it’s stupid, but it keep the cult victims inside the cult, so….

JUST SAY NO: Via a friend: “Can you feel the ramp up to another lockdown due to the variant coming? They’re going to try and extend this stuff. I hope people realize what’s happening.”

Even the W.H.O. says lockdowns don’t work and are a bad idea. Why listen to the anti-science bigots proposing them?

NOW OUT FROM KURT SCHLICHTER: The Split.

VIA A FRIEND:

IMAGINE THE CULTURE YOU’D IMPOSE ON A CONQUERED NATION TO BREAK ITS SPIRIT: The Assault on America’s National Identity.

LEAVE FIREWORKS TO THE EXPERTS, THEY SAID: Chief: Bomb squad caused Los Angeles fireworks explosion. “Los Angeles bomb technicians overloaded a containment chamber with homemade fireworks last month during a detonation, likely causing a catastrophic explosion that injured 17 people and rocked a neighborhood, the police chief said Monday.”

IT’S COME TO THIS: ‘Woke coke:’ Drug dealers marketing ‘ethically sourced’ cocaine.
