Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."
It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Went with my wife and her sister to see the new documentary, Elvis Presley in Concert. I respect Elvis, but was never a fan as much as they are. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the film. Well done!
Watching now. Excellent documentary. #paulmccartney #lindamccartney #beatles #wings

Finding out a week late that author Dan Simmons died. 😔
With all of the blurbs now in, I finished the interior layout for Dreams from the Edge of Reality. Will review the entire package over the next several days. Then it’ll be time to lay out the cover. Progress!

And with 859 words, the new SF story has begun. It’s already strayed a bit from my outline, but that’s fine. It’s off to a fantastic start. Soundtrack for tonight’s writing session provided by Close Encounters of the Third Kind. #sciencefiction #amwriting #shortstory

So put em back up
Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.
Happened to me at least once about 10 years ago. The editor told me in person that while he liked my story, he wanted “big name” writers in the anthology even though he, as a writer, was not well known either. I should have asked him why he bothered with an open call versus invitation only.
I look forward to returning as an author guest to Farpoint SF Convention in Towson, MD. Jan 30-Feb. 1, 2026!
