ON SUNDAYS I RUN A PROMO POST FOR (MOSTLY) INDIE AUTHORS:  Book Promo And Vignettes By Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike.

There’s also a fun vignette challenge.

INTERESTING AND USEFUL:  How Money Laundering Works In The Art World.

SOMEONE SHOULD:  Trump Administration to Investigate Spain’s ‘Human Rights Failures’ After Euthanasia of Gang Rape Victim.

If Spain still had men they’d be up in arms.

I THINK OF THIS OFTEN:  Imagine What a Fully Free Society Could Build.

INTERESTING FOR THE CROSS-CULTURAL INSIGHT:  How to Work in a Well-Managed American Firm. A Direct Guide for International Professionals.

TEARING DOWN IS EASIER THAN BUILDING. IT’S ALSO EVIL:  One of the stranger (and sadder) part of these latter days of the culture wars is the long-standing desire by some to tear down and trash Western Civilization. While none of those same people would admit that they desire barbarism instead, the problem is without commitment to maintaining a civilization’s guardrails, social entropy takes over and “things fall apart.” 

AMERICAN LIVES MATTER:  About that rescue of a downed pilot inside Iran. America Wins!

THIS IS WORTH READING:  From Martin Iles, reposted: Having lived in the USA for nearly two years, I’ve realised something. The USA and the remainder of the Western world are no longer aligned. We all laugh and mock when the Americans say, “Freedom!” because we truly think we’re as free as they are. Wrong. We’re not. Not even close. The laws, the mindset, and the behaviour, is totally different in this regard.

X-cancel.

GRANTED GREEN CARDS BY THE BIDENTIA, AFTER BEING ADMITTED BY OBAMA, OF COURSE:  Niece, grandniece of slain notorious Iranian Gen. Soleimani arrested by ICE while enjoying lavish lifestyles in LA.

PAY HEED:  A very important Open Letter to all Government Workers.

SOME OF SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF REASONS:  This is why NPR needs to be defunded.

But mostly because there is no legitimate function for them.

DEAR EUROPEANS:  This moment has been a long time coming. It’s not Donald Trump sinking the transatlantic alliance, it is absolutely you.

X-cancel.

AS THEY (MOSTLY US MILITARY) SAY IN KOREA: OOPS-SAY-OH!   Whoops! Sorry About That Chief.

BEHOLD MY SHOCKED FACE:  California’s fraud problem is so bad the DOJ will ‘never have enough’ prosecutors to fight it.

BUT YOU KNOW, DEATH THREATS FROM THE LEFT AREN’T BULLYING:  If we think that “ordinary criticism and disagreement are bullying, then we have an infantilized and feminized culture”.

NEVER TRUST THE BASTAGES:  As fun as it is to see ActBlue exposed, one must always ask the motives when legacy media seemingly puts crosshairs on its own. It’s long been a goal of the “democracy” camp to overturn Citizens United and ban PAC money.

X-cancel.

SOME PEOPLE GIVE YOU CANDY FOR EASTER. I BRING YOU MEMES:  Hey Hey We’re the Memes!

CHARMING:  ID10T Errors. In which Donnal the apprentice wizard helps with tech support.

YOU NEED THIS. NO. I MEAN, YOU REALLY NEED THIS:  Geronimo for Hope!

IT SURE SEEMS LIKE:  America’s first foreign war on “the shores of Tripoli” has apparently never ended.

DON’T GET COCKY, THAT DOESN’T MEAN THEY’LL VOTE REPUBLICAN:  New CNN Poll: Even Democrats Are Done With Democrats.

WE KNOW THEY DON’T BELIEVE THERE IS ANY RISK IN DISRESPECTING THIS PRESIDENT (UNLIKE WITH HITLER, STALIN OR WILSON):  ‘The View’ Panel Thinks It’s Reckless to Do What in Trump’s America?

OH, LOOK, IT’S MY SHOCKED FACE AGAIN:  Dem fundraising giant ActBlue rocked by allegations it misled Congress about foreign donations.

SHOCKED, SHOCKED, SHOCKED:   Parents of MacDill bomb suspects are illegal immigrants, DHS warns of birthright citizenship dangers. Trump administration argues the case underscores national security risks as birthright citizenship heads to Supreme Court.

NOT PEACEFUL. ON THE OTHER SIDE:  France Joins China, Russia in Blocking Gulf Nations’ Bid to Use Force to Open Strait of Hormuz.
