Political Trials

The Donald Trump trial in New York City is almost over. Just the final speeches and jury instructions to go and then we are off to the races to see if another jury from Democrat New York will declare Trump guilty of doing something bad. This is important partially because we have a Presidential debate in about a month, and nothing would delight the Democrats more than to be able to label Trump a convicted felon, or to be able to say that it is so sad Trump can’t come to the debate because he’s serving time in prison. Yes, the debate will be a test to see if they can drug Biden up enough and arrange a friendly enough forum for him to show him speaking rationally on national TV, but they absolutely intend to use that forum and their allies in the chairs to attack Trump in every way they can. Because this is all politics, baby, and the trials are just the beginning.

Political Trials

The Trump trial in New York City is winding down now, with the judge and the lawyers debating over whether or not Trump’s attorneys will be allowed to quote the law in their defense if reports are accurate. And at the same time, former FBI director Comey is showing up on many networks saying how important this election is. He says he’s afraid that if Trump wins, he will corrupt the various agencies and use them to persecute his political enemies. Can you imagine living in that kind of Third World nation? Where political parties use the law to put their political foes on trial, deny them due process, and put them in jail? That surely would be horrible. Listen to Comey. This election is very important.

Ding Dong…

Ding Dong, another tyrant is gone. I join the Iranian people in celebration of the “Butcher of Tehran” going to meet his maker. And I’m certain the patron saint of helicopters, Pinochet, is looking on with pride at his favorite vehicle taking down another threat to humanity. Heck, I’m betting even Boeing is wondering if it would improve their stock in worldwide opinion if they said that they provided maintenance for the ride. In the end, he has made this world better, by leaving it behind, and I absolutely will celebrate that.

Space Cowboys and More…

I have written stories about Space Cowboys and More in my literal decades of writing. But in a world where electronic format has become the norm, there is a special joy in getting a book in dead tree format. My first novel is on top left, and the other three are anthologies where I share the limelight with other authors. The two below are available for purchase right now from the fine folks at Raconteur, while you can pick up my novel whenever you wish on Amazon or other ebook retailers.

The Space Race

I am listening to The Space Race from audible right now. It is voiced by Kate Mulgrew of Star Trek fame and was released in 2019. It is an amazing look into both the history and the future of the space race, and an amazing look at the world we looked forward to before the 2020 lockdowns. I want that world back.
