  • Donald Trump’s Tyrannical Leadership Style

    Trump’s leadership and management style are similar to Adolf Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, the Mongol Empire, Putin, and the Kim Dynasty in North Korea. Trump’s communication and governance often uses fear, the pursuit of revenge against perceived enemies, and the strategic creation of chaos or uncertainty. Death threats against public officials and figures perceived as Donald Trump’s enemies are a widespread […]

  • Columbus Day Monsters

    Christopher Columbus was notoriously ruthless, and his extreme cruelty was well-documented by contemporaries, including Spanish authorities and a priest who accompanied his expedition. His ruthless actions were directed toward both the indigenous peoples of the Americas and Spanish colonists, leading to his arrest and removal as governor. To meet gold quotas, Columbus instituted a “tribute […]

  • Trump calls January 6, 2021, a “day of love.”

    According to testimony from his former aide Cassidy Hutchinson, Donald Trump knew that some of his supporters gathering for his January 6, 2021, rally were armed when he told security to remove metal detectors.

  • Donald John Trump and MAGA Represents Racism and Cruelty

    It’s a widely accepted view among scholars and historians that fascism, racism, and cruelty are closely linked and often exist together.

  • Walking in Hitler’s Shoes on the Path to World War III

    I recently read in the Atlantic that Hitler imposed tariffs on Germany’s major trading partners when he became chancellor, tanking Germany’s economy putting that country further down the path toward World War II. So, when I read this post, I started fact-checking to verify all of Hitler’s footsteps Trump has followed wearing Hitler’s shoes, on […]

  • My Battle between Building an Author’s Email List or finishing Fiddling with Death

    Since my first novel, My Splendid Concubine, came out in December 2007, I’ve done almost everything legal to promote my books. Still, there’s one promotion method I haven’t tried, creating an author’s email list that includes free reader magnets. “An author’s email list is a collection of email addresses from readers who have opted-in to […]

  • The irony of digital devices eating our brains

    To entertain us 24/7, and allegedly make our lives easier and happier, we are only making our species dumber, disturbed, and irrationally more dangerous. With the arrival of AI, I think our biological brains are going to shrink a lot more until all that’s left is our reptilian brain where fight or flight resides. The […]
