I knew some established publishers were embracing print-on-demand but I'm surprised to see one using Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing. (They need to fix the copyright page.)

So.
An orange small-government uber-capitalist felon, by imposing severe government regulation on cross-border free enterprise, has pushed a whole nation of super(ficially)-socialist/anti-capitalists to "get their elbows up" in defense of free enterprise.

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender.

📌They should STILL be talking now.

HERO vs ZERO
I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore.

What is happening in the #UnitedStates today under @realDonaldTrump is what happened in the crumbling Soviet Union under Gorbachev & in Russia under Yeltsin.

And @elonmusk is Boris Berezovsky.

Watch the American oligarchs bottom feed on the economy they're destroying, and weep.

Every time I read a 'News' story about AI, it quickly becomes obvious the story was 'written' by AI.

"Rumour who loves to spice big bowls of the false
With a pinch of the true,
And who, gulping her own confections,
Grows from nearly nothing to fill the whole world."

I'm amazed at the same people proudly raising Canadian flags who were all on board with cancelling #CanadaDay a few years ago.

The most accurate description in print of what @realDonaldTrump and his handlers have in store for the American people.

We've discovered a great use for all those extra empty #Spam cans lying around your house!

Was just comparing the ingredients in Australian #Spam versus Canadian #Spam. . .

I sure am glad I live in Canada where our Spam doesn't contain Propylene Glycol & hydroxypropyl distarch phosphate like the Australian stuff.

Canada -- the Land of Healthy Spam.
