America’s already engaged in major fun and entertainment. Provoking global thermonuclear war and pandemic panic, depleting the economy, real time recidivist violent crime, creating divide and invoking the ghost of a scourge of “ White Supremacy”. Mass surveillance, political persecution, insider trading… Who needs movies when everyday life is a battlefield?
I have used this experience as the basis of my 2nd novel, 'A Builder's Tale' set in 1998 - the story of a resort town and the people in it and a builder- architect, his clients, and the characters who make up a construction project, and a resort town, hung on the design and fabrication of a large home...what this entails, with the creative design process included, as well as the economy and the nature of man, set in the USA, before the twin towers disaster. Skiing and sailing are also mentioned as well as the history of Northern Michigan. And, of course, it is a love story, love of creativity, love of design and building, and the love of a woman.
The book begins in the Colorado mountains, then moves to a resort town in northern Michigan. I'm serializing the chapters before I publish it next year. The sub stack serialized version will be free.
Normally journalist don't know shit about the budgetary analytics of politics but some of them are geniuses when it comes to understanding America's changing social structure. Others and geniuses with wordsmithing great lines. Other are hilarious. You sir are all three. Greg Pappas
Hahaha! I thought I’d heard Trump blamed for just about everything, occasionally rightly so. But this review managed to blame Trump even for the lack of humor in America today. Now that’s funny!

We need a redo of “Top Secret”. A lot of good fodder these days to make it extra stupid funny.
Love it! And the Movie. Thanks Matt and Jared. :)

The Green Beret quote in Deerhunter (who was also in Slapshot)
Just like Top Gun: Maverick, Trump was crazy-ass fun. Biden and the DC establishment? Not fun at all. Draw your own conclusions.
