WORTH TRYING:  America And The Philippines Plan The Launch Of Ambitious 4,000 Acre Economic Security Zone To Shore Up Supply Chains.

LANGUAGE WARNING, BUT GO READ THIS:  I am bone-weary…fucking exhausted…of the black-pilling vermin slithering through our discourse like intellectual tapeworms, gorging on their own bile while the architect of American resurgence executes a masterclass in geopolitical vivisection that would make Machiavelli blush and Sun Tzu nod in grim approval.

SHE’S RIGHT, YOU KNOW:  They don’t play nice. They never have. They never will. This is the iron law of the Left’s permanent bureaucracy…the deep-state priesthood that has metastasized inside the CIA, FBI, DOJ, and every other alphabet fortress since the Wilson administration first dreamed of an administrative state unaccountable to the rabble.

CORRECT:  Casual reminder that you’re not a ‘cool kid’ for being a cynical, edgy asshole. The real counterculture now lies in hopemaxxing, optimism, and genuine love for your country. Bloomers will prevail over doomers.

BAD SCIENCE FICTION WRITERS HAVE A LOT TO ANSWER FOR:  So, ignoring questions about export control policy: AI is not like enriched uranium or not like nuclear weapons, and comparisons to enriched uranium or nuclear weapons are profoundly bad.

THAT THING THAT NEVER HAPPENS KEEPS HAPPENING:  Noncitizen charged with voting in Minnesota 2024 election after admitting ‘mistake’ to investigators. The charges come as Republicans push voter ID legislation against Democratic pushback that noncitizen voting is rare.

It’s not rare. And many of them don’t even know they shouldn’t be doing it.

ON PRE-ORDER FOR RELEASE ON THE 23rd: FROM SARAH A. HOYT:  Witch’s Daughter.

#CommissionEarned

Some letters come from the living. Some come from the dead. This one comes with a formula that turns a rowboat into a miracle.

Seventeen-year-old Lord Michael Ainsling — youngest brother of the Duke of Darkwater, builder of mechanical marvels, survivor of fairyland — receives a letter from a man sixteen years dead. The inventor Tristram Blakley has not perished; he has been imprisoned by his own genius and begs the one mind in all of Avalon brilliant enough to understand his work to set him free. All Michael has to do is find seven missing brothers first and walk a magical path..

Fifteen-year-old Albinia Blakley has spent her whole life under her mother’s iron thumb — and her mother is a witch. The day Al finally escapes down a rope of knotted sheets, she lands in a world she doesn’t recognize, with no money, no magic kit, and no idea that the stranger who catches her is about to become her greatest ally.

Together, a girl with more secrets than she knows and a boy who builds machines that try to murder him must outwit a sorceress, navigate the treacherous courts of Fairyland, and unravel an enchantment years in the making — before a family is lost for good.

Witch’s Daughter is a gaslamp fantasy brimming with wit, warmth, and wonder, for readers who love their magic wrapped in velvet and their adventures served with morning tea.
