Thoughts on #AmazonClosed and disappearing KU reads

There are a lot of scandals happening in the indie publishing world right now. The latest one has to do with Amazon deleting KU reads from March: some authors have seen their page reads retroactively revised down as much as ninety percent. The speculation is that this is connected with Amazon deactivating several customer accounts,… Continue reading Thoughts on #AmazonClosed and disappearing KU reads

Further thoughts on the Florida school shooting

The Broward County sheriff needs to resign or be fired immediately, and should also stand trial for criminal negligence. There’s something rotten in the state of Florida, and it all points back to this man. CNN has completely lost all credibility. As far as I’m concerned, they rank slightly above Alex Jones and slightly below… Continue reading Further thoughts on the Florida school shooting

Undercover Antifa: This story needs to get out!

There’s a lot that I could say, but I think the video speaks for itself: One question: when Antifa has their Charlottesville moment and somebody dies at their hands, how is the mainstream media going to cover it? What is the narrative going to be? Good on team Crowder for exposing these domestic terrorists. Make… Continue reading Undercover Antifa: This story needs to get out!

To escape or to engage

A couple of weeks ago, I finally sat down and wrote a (semi-) formal business plan. It was an enlightening experience. I’ve kept it all organized in many different ways, but writing it all down in one place allows me to step back and take a wider look at what I do. No business plan… Continue reading To escape or to engage

Thoughts on the violence in Charlottesville

No one is right in any of this. I tend to lean to the “right,” but it’s a completely different “right” than any of the protesters at this event. Constitutional conservatives and classical liberals are both increasingly endangered species in this country, and that’s a problem. Nothing in our Constitution supports Nazism and white nationalism.… Continue reading Thoughts on the violence in Charlottesville

An open letter to Google

To whom it may concern, My name is Joseph Vasicek, and I have been a regular user of your company’s products since 2006 when I set up my first Gmail account. Until the events of the past week, I was also a satisfied user. The recent firing of James Damore over the controversial internal memo… Continue reading An open letter to Google

Thoughts on the #Alexandria shooting

This attack was a warning. It could have been much worse. There could be more than a dozen dead congressmen right now. We could be in a national crisis as severe as 9/11, or more. This was a premeditated and carefully planned act of domestic terrorism. It is clear that the attacker was politically motivated.… Continue reading Thoughts on the #Alexandria shooting

A political rant

There is no meaningful difference between Clinton and Trump. Both are narcissists. Both are habitual liars. Both are corrupt. Both have a tendency to blame others for their failures instead of taking responsibility for their own actions. Both treat the people underneath them poorly or with outright contempt. Both think they are above the law,… Continue reading A political rant
