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!" Check out my new site . . . www.curt-rude.com

The Bee Killer
"He said he wanted to be in the Marines because he wanted to go fight in the war for our country and he wanted to kill for our country," she said. "When you hear somebody say they want to be in the military because they want to kill people in the name of our country, that's chilling. It chilled me right down to my bones."
I plan to release The Bee Killer as a podcast to honor those in Thousand Oaks. A donation will also be made to honor those who gave so much for our country and now need assistance with mental health issues.

94 Million in One State Alone
Missouri spending totaled 94 big ones on election spending, proving once again that there are plenty of dollars being spent for your vote. Frightened? You should be.

What would Steinbeck and Hemingway say about Honduran Caravan?
Read 'The Grapes of Wrath' and 'To Have and Not Have'. You'll come to a new appreciation for humanity and its struggles. Enough said?

Megyn Kelly
Okay. Blackface Controversy or just a reason to get out from under bad ratings? I mean, lets hope this new awareness . . . this sensitivity . . . hasn't provided fodder for a lack of accountability. I'm dropping these thoughts without fact checking so don't be hasty with the emails. If this was truly a nasty moment in this nation's history perhaps we can all learn by it.

Work Experience Diversity
Too many lawyers in politics. That bunch is taught to argue and they would never be considered producers by Aryan Rand. Trump is not a lawyer. Enough said?

Trump and Promises Kept
Not sure what happened in the age of politics where campaign promises are dumped without a second thought. Remember the . . . "Read My Lips no New Taxes" promise. Well anyways, Trump sure is attempting to do exactly what he said he'd do once he was voted into Office. There you go. Tomorrow we'll jump on the #1 reason Trump is good for this country.

My top Reasons why President Trump is Good for the Country
I get plenty of questions emailed to me - right. So whenever someone steps out of their safety zone and posts a question I'll answer it pronto. Guess you could say it goes straight to the top for consideration. So here goes with President Trump and three good things he brings to the Office.
#3 Remember all the complaining about no shows at the polling booths. Looked like Americans didn't really care about a bunch of Ego's Run-A-Muck running for this or that. Well, President Trump has certainly galvanized the thinking that goes into making folks want to head out and vote. So there you go. The President has discovered a way to get the disinterested - interested. Tomorrow I'll hit you with the number two reason President Trump is good for the country.

Stunned
Kinda strange folks are offended by the writers killing-off Roseanne with opioids. Oh' c'mon man, we all know of the influence of television on nimble minds - right?

Thanks goes out to President Trump
Donald J Trump has certainly dashed voter apathy! An unused word - Dotard was brought to the forefront and he does not hesitate to fight for what he believes.

Make America Great Again?
A place that has citizens who have 'made it' committing suicide. A place with daily doses of violence i.e. babies attacked in nurseries. A place that refused to do anything after the Sandy Hook Massacre. How about a twelve year old knifing his brother to death. You get the picture . . . This place is a Zoo and The Keeper ain't you.

The Rude Globe-Trotter
Hanging-out eating MRE's and watching CNN. An advertisement was run promoting Brett Kavanaugh. I kid you not. Where is the cash coming from and what about his accuser? She has an attorney and to my knowledge she hasn't committed a crime. Who's paying? Attorney's + money = strange times indeed.
