Book Review - They Want to Kill Americans by Malcolm Nance

 Unflinching examination of the growth of White extremism and its influence on the current MAGA movement. Discusses the importance of confronting the racism and extremism of the movement. Nance has written books following this one that brings some of this information up to date prior to the reelection of Trump and this current administration. Some of the final segments of this book were written while he was serving in the Foreign Legion of non-Ukrainians fighting in that country. 


Written in 2022, it covers the events leading up to the January 6th attempt to overthrow our government and the few years following.

A warning of what came to pass and how we got to this point.

Going through some stuff.


 My companion, Princess Leia sadly passed away this past Thursday evening. The veterinarian believed her to be close to 17 years old, but she only became sick shortly before I took her in. She was with me close to 14 years and it seems odd here without her. I am heartbroken.


I've also recently turned 75 years old, so it's been a pretty crazy few weeks, as you can imagine.   


I really feel that I should spend more time here rather than just logging in a couple of times a year, or just do a repost of some article I've read. Also, while I have tried in the past not to be political here, I have decided to post everything here and not split it between two different blogs. 


My hope is to post reviews more regularly and toss in commentary on the situation here in the US. 


If I do forget to check in later this week, I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, a happy holiday season, or whatever you may celebrate or ignore until the New Year.

Remote viewing: Some shows I'm currently watching

 Zero Day with Robert De Niro is a political thriller involving hacking of vital US systems, causing massive deaths and injuries. As a former President, De Niro's character is asked by the current resident of the WH to head a committee looking into the situation before it can occur again. A decent thriller but watch it for the star.

Party Hunting on NBC involves a special investigation unit attempting to track down escaped serial killers. These were inmates in a secret government prison where they were kept and interrogated, many had been reported dead or executed prior to this incarceration. Following an explosion and jailbreak, this agency was given authority overriding and local or state law enforcement agencies. We also learn that many leading the investigation have their own agendas and secrets. Better than average network fare. 

Secret Levels is a 15-episode series featuring animated shorts based on existing video games. Not being a gamer, I'm only familiar with a few of these. I'm more knowledgeable of the Warhammer 40K series, as I've read a number of the novels and comics based on the franchise. 

Looking forward to the upcoming Daredevil: Reborn series on Disney+. Appears to occur several years after the previous Netflix Marvel series. 

I'll try to make these posts a bit more frequent, although nerve issues with my right hand does limit the ability to type for long periods.
