The Galen books are in the finest traditions of space opera. Highly enjoyable.

A review of The Complete Starquest 4th Age Saga by Richard Paolinelli from @TuscanyBayBooks bookreviewsandmore.ca/2026/1… If you have not read anything by Paolinelli don’t make my mistake. Pick some up and give them a read now. There is a lot to choose from and I am sure you will be entertained. This was an excellent read. It is a wonderful classic Science Fiction story a great space opera. A fantastic story written large. I can easily recommend this volume to fans of science fiction and adventure stories. A great read that I can easily recommend! Well done Richard! #BookReview

When a Veteran tragically took his own life in the San Antonio VA parking lot, Brandon was there the very next day. On the ground. Standing with the Veteran community. Advocating for those he wants to serve. That raises a question for those already in office: Where were you? Veterans deserve representatives who show up when it matters, not just when it’s convenient. Leadership is about showing up when people need you most.

Brandon, no one can trust you. You lick the boots of people who raised healthcare costs, gutted Medicaid and Medicare, and said, “Seniors who collect Social Security should be hit with a mallet.” Now you pretend to champion healthcare? Families, hospitals and TX-23 know better.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The quoted statement is a joke from a comedy podcast referencing the film Midsommar, not a serious claim or policy. Herrera's campaign platform states he opposes cuts to Social Security and Medicare benefits. brandonherreraforcongress.com/issues/ x.com/patriottakes/s…

Amazon's new subscription model promises more choice for readers. But for independent authors already struggling with falling sales, is this another step towards a future where books are consumed rather than bought? Link to our article below.

#2A Reminder. Anti-gun disarmament Vultures KNOW their anti-gun laws don't work. They want these laws to fail. After they fail, there is only one solution: total civilian disarmament. History tells us what comes next.

An Illinois governor is pouring money into Texas: $1.2 million to Gina Hinojosa, $25,000 to my opponent. JB Pritzker wants a say in who runs Texas. Texans decide that. We can't afford to surrender to a single Marxist.

@FredTateTXOct 27
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker's Texas tab is now $1.35M. His $1M to Gina Hinojosa on 10/8 (8-day TEC report) makes $1.2M to her, plus $100K to TDP, $25K to HDCC, $25K to Jon Rosenthal. #txlege prd.tecprd.ethicsefile.com/p…

Again, more paid lies from your DNC puppet masters. Are you capable of running a campaign that doesn’t involve taking clips purposely out of context, or arts and crafts time?

Everyone is out here talking about what Robert A. Heinlein movie we need. At first I was thinking The Moon is a Harsh Mistress or Tunnel in the Sky. Then I realized we never had a Starship Troopers movie, that would be good.

They exist primarily to leech now, not build anything. Hence why you will not find anything interesting from them you can't find anywhere else first.

I am honestly baffled at the people who would read what @DodgerWing or @HariSel57511397 write and say "nah. lets publish Mr. Beast and Minotaur Romantasy instead." These publishers deserve to go out of business.
