ECONOMICS CAN’T BE IGNORED:  We Told You So.

It can’t be gentled. It can’t be wished away. Contrary to what they taught yo in school, it’s a hard science. And the equations are always cold. Only fools and communists believe otherwise.

GAME CHANGER:  The Moskva.

FROM MELISSA MCSHANE:  Beguiling Birthright.

France, 1815. As a rifleman in Wellington’s Army, Jennet Graeme conceals two secrets from her comrades in arms. She is no man, but a woman. And she, like Napoleon, is an Extraordinary Coercer, capable of controlling the minds and hearts of anyone she encounters. Fleeing a lifetime of manipulating others to her will, Jennet hopes to redeem herself by turning her talent to good rather than evil. But can a power that robs its victims of free will ever be used for good?

When disaster strikes Jennet’s rifle company, she and her companions become all that stand between Napoleon and his conquest of Europe. As the enemy looms closer, and armies clash, Jennet must discover the woman she truly is—and face her destiny in a place called Waterloo.

THERE IS NO SIMPLE WAY TO TALK ABOUT IT; THERE’S NOTHING INDIVIDUALS CAN DO:  Invasion.

And yet, it needed to be mentioned.  And we need to remember.

YES, RIGHT NOW THE ONLY THING KEEPING US ALOFT IS THAT THE REST OF THE WORLD IS EVEN MORE F*CKED:  Tectonic Shift.

Fortunately for us, underestimating other countries abilities to shoot themselves in the foot with their heads up their *sses is a constant of US history. So we might continue levitating. However, keep in mind that like Willy Coyote in the cartoons, we’re running mid-air over an abyss. Sleep tight.
