This is the kind of crap we’ve been suffering from with Scott Walker and the Republicans in charge of Wisconsin–and what I fear the whole country will now suffer under Trump/GOP:
I used to be proud of my state’s conservation efforts. Not anymore.
One of my favorite people in my Writer’s Club, Karl Stewart, recently published The Seventh Cruise. The Amazon link, which also includes a plot summary, is here. The author’s website is here.
Stewart bases his novels on his real-life family, starting with his great-grandfather, See-Bird Carpenter, a Choctaw Indian who made a name for himself in rodeo. The second novel in the series is based on the Hatfield and McCoy conflict, because his great-grandmother–See-Bird’s wife–was related to the Hatfields. In the third book, his father, still a young teenager, leaves home to join the Navy in WWII. He serves on the USS Hancock.
Battle scenes are vividly described, framed by a love story between Stewart’s parents, here given the fictional names of Stu and Maggie. We also see the ever-present threat of PTSD, as the sailors and airmen fight to keep the images of war from their heads. Stewart based the events of the book on the real-life experiences of various survivors of WWII.
And the occasional chapter–including the opening–is from the point of view of a kamikaze pilot, based on a real-life pilot who decided not to crash into the Hancock.
You can read about all three books, and learn how to buy them, at the author’s website here.
The story in these legal documents is appalling, horrifying, disgusting–and accuses our “president” of raping a 13-year-old:

He and Jeffrey Epstein allegedly made her into a sex slave in 1994, forcing her into multiple sex acts, then physically abusing her and threatening to harm her and her family if she ever told. She keeps trying to tell her story, then gets frightened again.
This and multiple other allegations against Trump prove that anything he says about sexual harassment or assault is hypocritical.
Considering that many of them were already known before the election, once again I wonder how he got elected. And no, I don’t want to hear complaints about Hillary. There were many, much better candidates in the GOP primaries who could have been nominated instead. I also don’t want to hear about what Dems are doing as some kind of “response” or “answer” to the question. That’s just deflection, same as what Trump does every time somebody calls him out on his many sins. It’s Trump I’m talking about, not somebody else.
