I'm trying to construct alternatives to an established literary system which has become fossilized. Reading anything coming from that direction is like digging up mummies in ancient Egypt, through layers of dust of badly outdated ideas and hieroglyphics of an in-bred status quo.
I'm well protected, anyway, from any accusations of using AI! 🙂
FWIW, I wrote most of this via scribbled notes while working a remote job. Wrote it in part to entertain myself! Then spent approx 12 hours total concentrated late night hours putting both parts together from the notes. Spontaneity and immediacy.

Estsblishment commentators are such s joke. Bought and paid for. Covering arraignments of porn stars on Cape Cod or something as distraction from the looting of America from above. Blind to the plight of 98% of America. Puppet world.

Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. We learned about his death from the media as we saw him being shot repeatedly in the back after helping a woman from his community. This was not a protest that Alex was at. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. We know exactly what our eyes saw. No one from the federal government called us on that day. But they did go on TV to tell lies about Alex. No one has called us since. No one has recanted those lies.

The sister of Alex Pretti who was murdered by ICE says that if you want to honor Alex please go out and vote. Vote for Alex,Vote for Justice for his family,Vote for all the victims of ICE and Vote for your community and neighbors.
In keeping with my current interests, and pointing a direction in which I think the culture & country should be going, I tried to include a populist theme & vibe in this story.
Part satire? Too over-the-top? Ways to express ideas. . .

There's not another writer in America right now who'd even attempt a story like this one. Much less do it. No brag, just fact.
Only FICTION gets at deeper truths about something like the current hyperbolic election campaign, by going inside the heads of the main players, and behind the scenes of their maneuvers and manipulations.
PART TWO of "Midterm Madness" is now LIVE!

I DON'T KNOW if literary critics can be coaxed out of the fortified bunkers in which they've hidden-- until after the critical midterms-- in fear they may have to take a stance on something. But we can always make the attempt.

The Epstein crimes have evolved into a triad of evil criminality with Trump right in the middle of it all:
-Evidence of Trump committing multiple rapes with Epstein nearby.
-An international sex trafficking ring using modeling and beauty contests with Trump right in the middle of it.
3 A frantic cover-up by led by Todd Blanche to hide Trump’s sexual assault crimes, bury evidence, refuse to investigate and shut down state investigations.
An alternative to the four-hour movie! From last year, but more topical than ever. . .
Elon Musk is a classic Don Quixote type. He's read so many fantastic novels, esp sci-fi, he takes them for reality. Believes all the Asimov plotlines, himself at the center of the stories. Amusing until it becomes dangerous.
Here's my take on the guy.

Fines don't work against a $3.9 trillion dollar corporation unless you're suing them for $3.9 trillion dollars and then bankrupting their CEOs and corporate leadership. Fines will NEVER work against the billionaire class. Google does what it wants because it can.

During the January 6th attack on the nation's Capitol, Daniel Rodriguez drove a stun gun into the neck of Officer Mike Fanone. He was knocked unconscious, had a heart attack and suffered a traumatic brain injury. It ended his career.
Rodriguez got over 12 years in prison for his assault on police. On day one, Donald Trump gave him a "full, complete and unconditional pardon" and sent him home.
This is far and away the most corrupt White House in American history.
I can't speak about France, but we live at or near one of the epicenters of U.S. immigration-- including Islamic-- and we can testify the newcomers are not culturally incompatible. One of the points made in "Midterm Madness." Part II coming soon!

"So many culturally incompatible newcomers have piled on, in their telling, that society, properly speaking, is no more. What remains is an agglomeration of strangers, arrayed now in hostility, now in cold peace." @SohrabAhmari for @unherd on France.

HERE'S PROOF that we were writing about "the ultra-elite, VIP world of wealthy horse girls..." and the ever-widening wealth gap three years ago.
Are we always ahead of the curve? You know it! 😎
