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

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

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.

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.

TO BE FAIR PEOPLE WHO DON’T SPOT THE FAWNING AND THE FAKERY  ARE AT RISK FOR SO MANY OTHER PSYCHOSIS:  Chatbot-Linked Psychosis and Delusional Spiraling.

APRIL FOOLS? TELL ME IT’S APRIL FOOLS!  Rep. Tim Burchett chose NOT to refute Matt Gaetz’s comment about a military alien-human breeding program, then said “the people that know are dying”.

WHAT HE SAID:  If you are a non-elected member of the US federal government (i.e., civilian GS employee, career SES, contractor, military) and you are “resisting” or “slow-rolling” lawful initiatives of the Trump Administration, let me tell you what you are actually doing.

AND NOW RE-READING THE SECOND BOOK OF CHRISTOPHER DI GRAZIA’S SERIES: It’s as good as I remember, even better than the first!  The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of: A Theda Bara Mystery.

#CommissionEarned

THE STUFF THAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF

Hollywood, 1917. Silent movie queen Theda Bara is filming her epic, Cleopatra – “the one they’ll remember me for.” But when a studio extra turns up dead in a PR stunt gone wrong, Bara finds herself the center of intrigue, from a friend from the past who isn’t at all what she seems, to an Egyptian cult that wants her dead. With stars like Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin and Erich von Stroheim along for the ride, Bara and her loyal friend, makeup artist Toby Swanson, have to find out who is telling the truth, who is lying and whether it spells the end of Cleopatra. . .or of Hollywood itself.

A little bir–  Okay, the author himself after I linked it last time said that there’s a third upcoming. He’s chugging along on it. I can’t wait.
