The Veiled Guardians and Trickster

The Veiled Guardians and Trickster are both one step closer to being published. We might be within a month of the anthologies they are in hitting the market if schedules hold. Edits have gone through, I’ve received proofs for one, and things appear to be moving forward on both.

Each story features Captain William Carter in his quest to protect the young United States of the 1800s from otherworldly creatures and threats to mankind. Not every Indian spirit is happy to see the expansion of that power, and it falls to men like him to change their minds or stop them. Not every otherworldly creature is a threat to mankind after all. The trick is figuring out which is which, and he has spent a lifetime learning everything he can about that trick.

Children

Hundreds of thousands of children have suffered the effects of war and forced migration over the last few years. In Ukraine, Israel, and America alone, children have been kidnapped, held hostage, and killed in numbers that are unfathomable. Whether taken by Russians, Hamas, or by Human Smugglers, the suffering of these children has been horrible.

One of the chief jobs of civilization is to protect our children so they can grow into functional adults that drive civilization on to a better future. We have done a better job of this in recent months. American law enforcement officers report having found tens of thousands of the children over the last few months that child services lost during the Biden Administration. Reuniting them with their families is something that we must do.

At the same time, this weekend we have very good news for Israeli and Ukrainian children. Melania Trump has been talking with Putin who recently agreed to return some Ukrainian children to their families. And Donald Trump got just about everybody in the Middle East to agree to a cease fire in Gaza that will result in all of the remaining hostages being returned to Israel.

I don’t know how much of this will actually work. Putin and Hamas are not trustworthy. Both have broken many agreements in the past and I’m certain will break others in the future. We may find out this week that nothing happens. But this is still a step in the right direction. And I hope it marks genuine progress.

Not Enough

A recent poll asked Democrats if they thought the Democrat Party was fighting Trump enough or not and 77% said not enough. That’s three quarters of Democrats, if the poll is accurate, think the Democrats should fight him more than they are now. They arrested him. They took hundreds of millions of dollars from him. They tried to put him in prison. They shot him in the head. But that’s not enough.

From one point of view, I understand. I mean, he’s President now, so obviously they didn’t fight him enough to stop that. But where do you go from there? They demanded social media companies ban Republicans who said things they didn’t agree with. They demanded links to articles they disagreed with be deleted and people who shared them banned. They straight up censored political speech during elections. They sent Republicans to prison during the Biden administration. Pro Life protestors standing peacefully outside abortion clinics were sent to prison. Government employees shot and killed Republicans, sometimes in public, sometimes in their homes. Others were put in solitary confinement, and some were denied life-saving treatments while in government confinement.

Not one Democrat I know has told me that any of this was wrong. I have had Democrats tell me that they deserved it. That the Republicans banned from social media deserved it. That Trump deserved it. That the Republicans put in prison deserved it. That Republicans shot dead deserved it. Democrats I know have never said to me that this was wrong.

And when asked now, 77% of Democrats say that their leaders aren’t fighting back enough. If this is accurate, that means the next time Democrats get in charge, they will want do more than what they did during the Biden administration. Because even now, three quarters of Democrats say their party is not fighting Trump enough.

Consider what that means for the future. Because there will be a time when Democrats get power again. It might be 2026. 2028. 2030. 2032. Heck, there are special elections right now in 2025. There are elections across the country every November. And Democrats are running in them. Democrats that can read polls and know that three quarters of their voters think they are not fighting hard enough now.

What will they do next if what they’ve done so far is not enough?

They Can Lower the Volume

They can lower the volume whenever they want to. They can stop calling their political foes all the things they call them. They can stop egging their followers into resorting to violence. And when there is violence, they can change the words they use and seek to lower the volume.

When their followers attack politicians, they could step back from the rhetoric. When their followers attack cops and other law enforcement, they could change the words they use. When their followers attack reports and pod casters and journalists, they could stop calling for all of that. They can lower the volume whenever they want to, and their followers would listen to them. Even now. Even as crazy as they have been driven over the last decade, if their leaders stopped egging them on to attack their enemies, the attacks would fade away. There would still be some. Crazy doesn’t go away in a day.

But they could lower the volume if they wanted to. They could reduce the number of deaths if they wanted to. But the attacks are a feature, not a bug. The attacks are the point, and that is why they won’t reduce the volume. They are getting what they wan, and that is why they will continue to call for violence.

The Violence Will Continue

The violence in Leftist Democrat cities will continue. The organized assaults on ICE personnel and centers are part of the plan. As are the bounties to capture or preferably kill ICE officers. And the police will continue to be ordered to not respond to calls when ICE is attacked.

The Leftist Democrats running their cities wish to keep their violent, rapist, murdering illegal aliens in their cities and will continue seeking to stop ICE from removing them. They will fight to keep them in the courts. They will fight on the streets to keep them.

And I expect more people will die. We’ve already seen dead politicians, dead firefighters, dead cops, and dead normal people on the street. Now we’ve seen armed people driving ICE personnel off the road while the cops follow orders to drive away and let it happen. It is only a matter of time before someone gets killed in that kind of standoff. Either ICE or the people attacking them.

As long as Leftist Democrats continue down the path they are on right now, the only path I see is one that leads to bloodshed on the streets. Because right now at least, they want the violence to continue and get worse. And as long as they continue to fan it, they will generate it. I see no other path right now, and that saddens me. I don’t know how to stop it. I don’t know if we CAN stop it.
