FROM C. CHANCY:  Pearl of Fire.

Bombs, fire, and murder….Caldera City. Stronghold and refuge, built by faith and elemental power in the heart of a volcano; surviving through magic, tactics, and a daring alliance with dragons. For Allen Helleson, Caldera was an escape from the lives ruined by his family’s hardline traditions; now he walks the streets as an Inspector for the Caldera Watch, defending the city other nations see as a pit of hell. For Shane Redstone, Caldera was the home she risked life and soul to defend as a Flame – until enemy curses blinded her, sending her away from the front lines forever.The war has come home again….Together they survive the first bomb. But Caldera’s enemies never stop with just one. Now a scarred yet deadly ex-soldier and a spirit-reading Inspector have to find and stop the bombers… before Wards fall, dragons die, and the caldera erupts in flame. One wrong move, and the city burns.

American schools have been telling kids for a generation (at least) that white people are out to get black people. That whites hate blacks so much the invented slavery to attack them. And then 2020 and BLM told them that white people want to kill black people. All the time. And do it. And get away with it. All the time.  And you’re surprised that black people act insane and like they’re under siege? WHY?
It’s time to clean the education/indoctrination complex. Now.

THIS IS A FANCY WAY OF SAYING THAT THE LEFT LIVES IN A FAKE REALITY ENTIRELY IN THEIR OWN MINDS:  The Computational Core of the Left-Right Distinction. Culture is downstream of mathematics. Left and Right are separated by a phase transition.

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): Feminists used to say “if men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.” But it turns out that to feminists, it just is, no men required.

FROM CEDAR SANDERSON:  Fen Dead (The Groundskeeper Book 6).

In the misty fen on the edge of town, a murdered man refuses to stay buried.

Chloe Brandt, groundskeeper of Belleview cemetery and reluctant apprentice mediator to the dead, has been called in to help. The deeper she digs into the strange killing, the more she realizes some bindings run deeper than any grave.

Armed with a glowing jar of restless oil, a crew of sectretive gnomes, and more confidence than caution, Chloe must navigate deceptions and dangerous liminal spaces before the fen claims another soul. In a world where even the dead keep secrets, the only way forward is to get your hands dirty.
