The two-volume Wyrd Warfare set of anthologies from Raconteur Press are for sale and ready for you to read. They feature the imaginations of some twenty different authors, asking what if magic was real and nations fought wars with it? In the pages of these volumes you will see the most humble of farm-raised men, otherworldly creatures, terrifying dragons, and even gods all marching to war. What weapons would they wield? What tactics would they use? How would magic change war as we know it? How would war stay the same? Wyrd Warfare is an imaginative look at what war could be like if magic were real. Thank God we all know it is not. Right?

Raconteur Press is publishing a new Wyrd Warfare anthology this week, and it will be including one of my stories. Captain William Carter, hunter of otherworldly creatures and threats to mankind, returns for the first time. Not all short stories in chronological order after all. If you want to brush up on Captain William Carter before seeing how he fights in war, check out how he fights when he’s had a drink of something Faery in From the Brim to the Dregs. What would you do if you can see the future? Would you claim it or let it slip through your fingers?

Wisconsin Supreme Court

A lawyer funded by George Soros who promised she would have the Wisconsin District Map redrawn to remove two Republican seats from the federal House of Representatives just won her election. She has also fought voter ID and other voting integrity laws. This is one of the ways in which the Democrats seek to resist and fight against their foes. If we dare to vote for people they don’t want to be elected, they’ll just remove our opportunity to vote for them.

Just as the unelected bureaucrats fight or ignore the orders of our elected representatives and as the unelected federal judges stop our elected representatives from firing the unelected bureaucrats so they can continue to fight our elected representatives. Or as the unelected judges simply order our elected representatives to not do what they were elected to do.

This is a full scale resistance against our elected representatives and the vote of the people. And if the unelected portions of our government prove powerful enough to stop the elected officials from performing much needed reforms in the government, it will prove that we no longer live in a representative form of government. That we live in a nation where unelected experts tell us what we are allowed to do. If they prove that is the kind of system we have, that will not be good for any of us.
