Ethel Rohan, author of ‘Out of Dublin’ on Curt Rude's writing. "Overall, great writing style. Reminds me of Rushdie: internal, emotionally complicated, and dualistic. Delivered with a sensitivity and awareness that is underrated. In one word his work is Awesome!"

The Truth
I write towards the truth. I can say . . . "Been there and done that." I had already penned 'Brand of Justice' when Floyd was killed on the mean streets of America. Some find it hard to believe police could be the doers of wrong. Not me. I've been there. I've seen it, and of course another book is in the offing.

Shame
It's as if Putin has highjacked the World Mindset which is resulting in a paradigm shift. Death and destruction has become all to familiar. The real enemy lurches, things such as cancer. Shame really.

Germany
So I'm in Germany and am asked what the Trump Thing is all about. Then the German burst out laughing and said the Americans must be pulling a prank. Really. This happened.

The Truth
Now we have the Epstein deal coming to light. Michigan has a coach who trips over the truth. I mean it goes on and on. The truth has disappeared with the Passenger Pigeon.

All Respected
At times I struggle but here's one opinion ya have to figure is heart felt . . .
What are Putin's sort comings? Who do you think is winning the war? These clowns in the eu will all be out in their next elections, if not sooner. No, the west is delusional, the usa peace plan is what the special military operation was all about.
Do I agree? You be the judge.

Ukraine
Met a film maker and a man off the frontlines in Ukraine yesterday. Sobering. I was told . . . "War takes it out of you". Gotta tell you the stories shared 'took it' out of me. Haunting.

Just Calling it The way I see it . . .
So am I an influencer? No. I'm an author who makes the most outta this thing called life. I travel (Ran around Germany, Austria, Italy and Spain. Now I'm hoping to meet up with a Ukrainian Official Saturday. Then plans are in place to hit Norway and Brussels later on. So no. I'm not into 'influencing' at all, but, just put thoughts out there and respect others and their thoughts. Good question.

Losing My Touch?
I'm usually good for 1 outta 5 comments being dumped as too offensive for the community. I call it the way I see it however. Suddenly I'm not getting spanked. Whatever.
Your comment has been approved and published on "Trump does not commit to giving Ukraine Tomahawk missiles during White House meeting with Zelensky" |
Here's One outta left Field
We explore the human mind on this site. That's it in a nutshell. So riddle me this Batman. Why do some like taking their shirts off at football games? Then you have the face painting business. In Buffalo folks were jumping off trucks smashing tables. What does this mean?

Desensitized to The Second Amendment
Pregnant girl shot while her brother is murdered, before the shooter kills himself. At one time this would have been bigtime media fodder. This all occurred in smalltown America, Barron Wisconsin. We are all potential targets, as our elected leaders prepare to fight over the budget. So sad.

Brand of Justice
To think . . . there are some in Montana who have voiced an opinion that I must be stomped out for giving a child killer a voice. I have done so in an effort to discover what would compel a person to commit such an act. It's where my voice finds its footing. Another example would be found in discussing what it was like to flee a school that was under fire. I listen during these encounters. This was my first novel and one, where you can see, I pursue the truth.
JusThis
Lord Acton, a British historian
of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries shared his thoughts about
power. He had deep feelings about power and its ability to corrupt. The
proverb, “Absolute power corrupts absolutely” means that whenever a person has
power over other people or things, it makes him/her corrupt. This testament,
for obvious reasons pertains to some police officers. A badge—symbolizing power—is
pinned to their chest and they waddle into society for better or worse. Officer
Francesco Vincent Serpico exposed corruption back in the day. Now, retired Officer
Curt Rude, does the same when he focuses on sexual misdeeds of those who serve
and protect.
The police profession has its
share of individuals who had neither the inclination or ability to fulfill
their desires before becoming police officers. Some were perhaps meek and mild;
the last to be chosen for a team on the playground. After years of perceived
humiliation and frustration they realize formal power can deliver them into an
intitled life. They eagerly settle into a job that involves having others
answer to them. It can be an exhilarating experience that leads to excess and
trouble.
Though
some have readily stated this work is an interesting read, but not plausible,
one only needs to consider the deeds of Minnesota State Trooper Robert Leroy
Nelson. While on duty, he offered eighteen-year-old
Michelle Busha a ride after witnessing her being dropped off by a vehicle
along Interstate 90. Busha was raped, beaten, tortured and
strangled with a ligature. Her fingernails were
removed while she was still alive and her head had been shaved, except for an
area on the back of the head, which was left about an inch long.
It is hoped that an increase in knowledge, regarding issues
some may find disturbing, results in a safer world for all.

American Greed
At least most NFL games are played in the States. Can't believe how adapt the NFL is at monetarizing anything it's involved with. Tax payer supported stadiums stand empty as NFL owners hit for Europe to sell their brand. Clothing is being dumped on folks from Ireland as they head to the game. Now we have waves of newly designed articles of clothing to contend with to get fans to buy-buy-buy. A NFL cap goes for 50 bucks while any old cap at a store sells for 8 to 15 bucks. Big question here is when is enough money enough for the Owners? What are your thoughts on Greed? Is money the root of all evil? Is it okay for folks to be ripped off as they head to the games, dressed up like god knows what, to support their teams? It's all silly fun after all. We need a diversion from the daily shootings. When is a NFL Stadium going to be rocked with violence? Think I'll get busy on my next novel. I'm not in the mood to get loaded up with lead. Be safe out there.

Spoke to a lady today from Kenya. She considered herself so fortunate to be a citizen of this country with all its advantages. Why can't those born into America appreciate and respect it?
