My 'Viking Hunter' High Adventure Alternate History Series is FREE, ALL 3 volumes, at most ebook retailers including Ibooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.

That is the truth. It sounds good on Talk Radio, but in the real world nothing changes at all.  The employees will be getting back pay.

It's official. At midnight, no government, no laws, God abandons us

President Trump is playing a game of chicken with Congress. Paul Ryan set it up by having the House pass a spending bill that included some money for the wall.

I celebrated by running around the house tearing the tags off the mattresses. Who was going to stop me?

But the government shutdown is to shutting down government what late night hosts are to comedy: a piss poor imitation.  ... More at Don Surber's blog

Day 4 of no government
The effects of the government shutdown have gone from bad to worse. Last night was eerily silent. Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

Facing starvation, people are getting desperate. Some people dreamed of snow falling today so they could have something to melt and drink.

Children hung stockings out in hopes that a strange benefactor would magically appear, and fill them with food.

Others put some of their milk and pastry rations out on the table in the hope of attracting the food-bearing stranger. It was a gamble taken because of hunger.  ...  More by Don Surber
