Someone just finished writing a novel.
Spoiler: It was me.
It's called "Monsters of Ohio," it's my 20th novel, and it'll be out in November.
I hope you'll like it.
I'm very tired.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

The FBI was ready to document blood splatter and bullet holes in Renee Good’s car.
That’s the type of forensic investigation that could confirm murder.
They were ordered to stop. Kash Patel was one of the people who gave the order.

So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already.

Everything is better when explained by muppets.
The conflation of wealth and intelligence is so fundamentally foolish and demonstrated to be false in so many places and ways, it’s always amazing to me when someone trots it out.
I think it’s pretty definitively clear that extreme wealth corresponds to psychopathy, not intelligence.

Good. "But DHS isn't just ICE, it's also..." nope, wrong. DHS no longer serves any useful functions, the whole thing has been reassigned to repression. FEMA isn't even paying out to states. All DHS does is shooting, teargassing, facial recognition, and administrative warrants. Shut it down.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Thursday that demands made by Democrats for new restrictions on federal immigration officers are “unrealistic” and warned that the Department of Homeland Security will shut down next week if they do not work with Republicans and the White House.
