I fancy myself an Irish storyteller, what we call a seanchaí, with one book out for sale, Fugitives in a New United States, and another in progress. Visit my website at https://crann-na-beatha.com, to check out the blog, a book store and other delights.
On this rainy Saturday, I wrote another controversial blog article in my blog at crann-na-beatha.com. I invite anyone interested in the doings of Trump's government to come read it and tell me what you think. I also offer up some thoughts on what we the people can do about this. Don't be shy.

I have a new post in the blog at crann-na-beatha.com. I invite everyone to come read my thoughts on all of the recent chaos, and some personal notes about what I'm attempting to do to make the planet a little better, and some future plans. And if you can spare some change, any amount is welcome.

Here is the link to this week's podcast. I have a few words about the chaos taking place between the U.S. and the rest of the world. And what we should do about it. I also inserted a couple paragraphs about China that few westerners know about.

So, to change the subject. Since I'm killing a little time, let me post about my book once again. I wrote this story back in 2023, when Trump was gearing up his campaign. The book is 'Fugitives in a New United States". It's a story about the U.S. in the near future after Trump destroys democracy.
