A book titled Something Prowling in Paradise Park has a rising moon behind the sharp stems of an agave, with a purple background, saguaro cacti, cliffs, and faint pawprints. On a background photo of purple swirling sandstone, text says Available Today - Three cases. One body. Zero chance of staying out of trouble.

5-star review: β€œI totally enjoyed this fast-paced and unpredictable book. The writing is really good and the characters feel like old friends that I can’t wait to catch up with. A great addition to the Accidental Detective series.”

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word.

Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025.

They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap.

Three book covers for romantic suspense novels have scenery of the Southwest. The titles are Desert Gold, Valley of Gems, and Silver Canyon, by Kris Bock. On a blue background, text says β€œI LOVED this book!” β€œWhat a fun, page turning read!” Romantic Suspense in the Southwest – free in KU! β€œKris Bock knocks it out of the park again with her amazing ability to weave action, romance, treasure hunting, and humor into a great book!”

ThrowbackΒ voice recognition mistake of the day: "She grabbed a spider from the bedroom before heading downstairs." πŸ•·οΈ
That should be "sweater," (Although πŸ•·οΈ is more interesting.)

The US Immigration Industrial Complex is a Threat to Everyone If President Dwight D. Eisenhower were alive today, he very well may warn of the ever-growing immigration industrial complex.

"US immigration enforcement has evolved into a rapidly growing multi-billion-dollar industry in which profitability increasingly dictates policy and enforcement priorities."
