I recommend "The Secret Agent"- it is somewhat slow to develop but it provides the sense of how an authoritarian kakistocracy in 1977 Brazil robs society of money, incentive, and lives. We are at a fork in the road towards that here, folks.

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

ProPublica recently published heart-wrenching letters from children at Dilley. ICE then raided the dormitories to confiscate and destroy those letters. I've filed a Freedom of Information Act Request.
