JOHN RINGO IS WRITING AGAIN:  And you can read his work as he writes. Hot Off The Pen Keyboard.

SO MAY IT BE:  EU War on Agriculture Pushback Protests Spread.

WHICH IS WHY NO ONE NEEDS WORRY ABOUT THEM TAKING OVER:  Like ChatGPT, Google’s ‘Bard’ ChatBot Peddles Left Bias.

BAH. IT’S ONLY MOSTLY DEAD. AND SOME OF US ARE STORMING THE CASTLE:  The Rule of Law is almost dead in America.

Yes, the situation is dire, but it’s nothing to what happened under Woodrow Wilson or FDR.  Why do you think they so badly want a war?

ONCE YOU STOP BELIEVING IN G-D, YOU’LL BELIEVE IN ANYTHING:  Climate science as religion.

DISMALLY PREDICTABLE:  Gun Control Lobbyist Hijacks Nashville Shooting Briefing, Rants About ‘Assault Weapons’.

How about giving testosterone in massive doses to people who don’t know how to keep the rage under regulation control? (No, I don’t know, but I BET you that’s what happened.)

WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE:  Fog Of War.

THE STASI IN ALL ITS MULTIPLE OCTOPUS INCARNATIONS IS GETTING ON MY LAST NERVE:  IRS Agents Visited Twitter Files Journalist Matt Taibbi’s House the Day of His Congressional Testimony.

AH. THE EVIL ONES ARE UP TO EVIL:  RESTRICT Act is Not About TikTok: ‘It Gives the Government Authority Over All Forms of Communication Domestic or Abroad’.

FOCUSING LIKE A LASER ON THEIR INSANITY:  Lefty Media Upset Over ‘Misgendering’ of Transgender Shooter in Nashville Christian School Massacre.

I’M SO TIRED OF THESE GAMES:  The IRS Makes a Strange House Call on Matt Taibbi.

A government at war with its people.

SO, THIS IS A BOOK WITH A STORY BY DANIEL M. HOYT AND ONE BY SARAH A. HOYT:  Sure, there’s also some other people, but anyway:  Bonds of Valor.

#commissionearned

A private eye saves his dead friend.

The Black Company deals with something fishy.

Deathmages, space mages, and forgotten magic.

It’s all here in fourteen stories of valor, heroism, and bonds that tie folk together, for good or ill. There are bonds of love, oaths to gods, and life-long friends.

Will the old, crusty worn-out veteran find his new partner just might be something? Will the knight learn humility from those who serve him? Will Indrajit and Fix restore the path of true love?

Or will the bonds between characters break under the pressure of evil wizards, ancient enemies, or massive dragons?

Come find out.

I THINK HE’S LIMPING UP TO EXPLAIN ONCE MORE?  Six Blind Men and an Elephant.

BECAUSE IT’S SORTA KINDA LIKE MARS?  WHAT IF THE ALIENS ARE ON VENUS?  Why the hottest place on Earth is being used to understand aliens.

Somehow I don’t think they’ve thought this through.

YES, IT’S INFURIATING, BUT GIVEN ARAB MAINTENANCE, IT WON’T BE OPERATIONAL LONG:  Taliban Tout Equipment Left Behind In Afghanistan.

SOME OF US STOOD AGAINST THE TIDE OF MADNESS:  Pushback: One doctor’s experience gives us all a ray of hope.

I don’t know about this doctor, but for me, it was Heinlein’s words:

“What are the facts? Again and again and again – what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what “the stars foretell,” avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable “verdict of history” – what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your single clue. Get the facts!”

Please remember that. It’s the only thing that keeps sanity amid mass illusion.
