So I haven't been on here for a while and during that time I wrote this book with Darryl Strawberry. To know him is to love him and it was a privilege seeing and documenting life through his eyes as we travelled the country.

Today by an Act of Congress is National Pathfinder Day. I wrote the narrative nonfiction FIRST TO JUMP about those great heroes back in 2013--a hit-the-ground-running account of their roles in Normandy, Bastogne (Battle of the Bulge) and other missions during WW2.

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

Pete Alonzo needs to get in shape fast! He and Donald Trump are about the same height, but according to the official White House medical report on Trump, Pete's 20 pounds heavier! Amazing!

Democracy.

Maybe everyone can see it now, but the world's richest people have tanked it all to restock assets and get liquid after years of illegally playing with funny money. They used "the wokeness" as a cudgel and it worked. The next Disney princess WILL be white, as we all eat beans under the highway.

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

Senator Booker: What kind of man is in the white house that makes fun of the disabled, who lies so much that the fact checkers lose count, that minimizes the pain and the suffering

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

Initially, I thought this was Fenway Park. But, it's Greenland.

Not satisfied with purchasing a Presidential Election to become co-President, Sissy SpaceX now wants to buy himself a Supreme Court judge in Wisconsin. You can end his shopping spree, Wisconsinites! 🚫 💰 #VoteForJudgeSusanCrawford 🗳️ ✅ 👍 This is super important.

They are in an increasingly siloed bubble and they really only talk to each other. It's like how pre-Moneyball scouts would develop draft consensus based on the handsomeness of a guy at one tryout 20% of them went to. Suddenly 80% of them had the same draft grade. They are confident and delusional.

The Atlantic's an incredible magazine, really the best.

May I suggest that we start with giving women a real shot.

I'm still good with God.

More of this please. schiffnotes.substack.com/p/a-dark-day...

Time for Schumer to go. We need someone like Mark Kelly as Senate Minority Leader.

I propose that the US gives Maine to Canada. I would then live in a country I can respect.

Collins is surely very concerned.

Me at #Mets camp yesterday with Darryl and Caballero Francisco Lindoor.

I'm on Cloud 9 working on a book with ordained minister and all-time #Mets great Darryl Strawberry, one of my faves, who's living proof that we all can heal what’s broken and hurting inside and pay it forward. Road trip to Port St. Lucie next week. Sun! Warmth! #Baseball!

The first global thriller I wrote, Power Plays: Politika, was co-created by #TomClancy. The Russian govt. was the nemesis from the time Tom conceived it. Our politics were different but we were in accord on that. What would he think of America betraying an ally to side with the world's villains?

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

Germany's election yesterday, all things considered, turned out far better than ours. Despite Chancellor Musk sieg-heiling his administration's support for their neo-Nazis, they haven't entirely forgotten what too many people in America never learned.

This Oath Keeper looks like one of my GI Joes after I doctored his face with my mother's black eyebrow pencil to make him look villainous. He would up getting melted in the Fires of Doom ... i.e. a stovetop burner.

This open letter to Elon Musk is incredible. As the son of Holocaust survivors, find it all the more powerful.

An important article, in a periodical that's an increasingly vital source of information. The cost of an annual digital subscription to @theatlantic.com is roughly that of three people going to a movie or half the cost of a so-so ticket to a Yankees game. I urge everyone who's able to get one.

I wish I could write like Billy Sedlmayr. youtu.be/5LUUMCHW1uk?...

What @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social says. Try it.

I mean, it's God talking here.

Thanks @rockingmagpie.bsky.social for this stunning review of @deanowens1.bsky.social's latest release, #SpiritRidge. "A MUSICAL TREASURE... A BODY OF WORK THAT GETS MORE AND MORE IMPRESSIVE. A MUST BUY" rockingmagpie.wordpress.com/2025/02/15/d...

Napoleon, who Donald's quoting here, is said to have died of acute stomach issues compounded by quack medicine while in national exile, so let's hope the Littlest President does us a favor and keeps on mimicking him.

This Golden Age of America thing's really going great.

Unsure if it's still true, but for decades Germany prohibited swastika imagery on book covers--even for WW 2 histories and novels that would feature it in the USA. This was true of one or two German editions of my books and I applauded it. JD Vance is on the side of those who want to forget.

I hope this happens. It would do my heart some good.

As a lifelong comics and Captain America fan, I'm glad this new movie seems destined to tank. America voluntarily jettisoned its ideals in November, 70 million Americans chose the Red Skull and millions more stayed home. You are what your actions show you to be, and today America is the villain.
