Here is some food for thought: while federal agents continue to invade American cities to hunt down the so-called worst of the worst: any migrant who has 33 felony convictions on his or her record still has one fewer than the number of felony convictions by the occupant of the White House.

Coming to an online bookstore near you in March: "Left is Right." It's the second novel in the trilogy (now a quartet), and it has some surprises as well as some mean ol' nasties. Hats off to Ken Ellis for the cover and to @stoneycreekbooks.bsky.social for putting up with me.

Why is the Trump administration detaining green card holders without cause, blocking legal counsel, and refusing to tell families where they are?

So, if membership in a game automatically qualifies a person to be a candidate for deportation, then why aren’t members of the proud boys, the oath keepers, and the Aryan brotherhood being deported? And many of their members wear tattoos also.

Anton-7 wasn’t supposed to get involved, but when tragedy strikes, this alien is done observing. Sci-fi, satire, and Southern quirks collide in a debut that holds a mirror to America. Will we like what we see? #TexasAuthor #LoneStarLit #LoneStarLitLeft @lonestarlit.bsky.social @mcaggie.bsky.social
