I have had a good amount of people ask me if they could still get a signed copy of the book.
So, if you do want one, the stipulation for this is that you'd have to pay for the book itself (I can get an author copy for ~$5) as well as shipping costs and materials.
If interested, DM me!

FBI Interviewed Trump Accuser, Epstein Files Show
Trump was credibly accused of sexual assault in the Epstein files. It's unclear what became of the DOJ's investigation.
This is a bombshell: One of Epstein's victims accused Trump of sexually and violently assaulting her when she was "13 to 15" and the FBI deemed her credible enough to warrant an interview.

While I maintain that Vertigo is Hitchcock's best, I can understand why someone would dislike it.
Rear Window, on the other hand, is that rare perfection where I can't comprehend how someone couldn't enjoy it. Godfather 1 (even if 2 is better) and Wizard of Oz are other examples of this.

You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid
Sheβs only 36, and thereβs a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.
from the perspective of someone who might want to be president, the best time to run for the white house is now, not later. so if AOC is thinking about it β if the white house is her ambition β then her best bet is to throw her hat in the ring

It's great to live in a country (Canada, Japan, UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, etc.) where citizens don't worry about if the next election will be canceled, if they will be allowed to register to vote, if they will have to stand in line for hours to vote, or if their vote will be counted.
