Steven Singer saw my tweet urging Trump and/or DeVos to try to stop publication of my next book (which would make it an instant hit) and he realized his book was already available and had all the right ingredients for censorship.
Getting blocked on Twitter is one route to fame and free publicity but having the president attempted to block its publication is even better!

There is so much going in the current administration that defies logic and ethics that I thought this local story was worth sharing. I live in a conservative, military community near Pensacola. Our Congressman is a pin head by the name of Matt Gaetz, a legacy politician, who has become known as one of Trump’s cheerleaders. About ten years ago Gaetz got a DUI, but this is not the main part of the story. The officer that arrested Gaetz was forced to step down from his job. Blue Tsunami is putting up billboards highlighting the misdeeds of the elected conservatives, and they started with Gaetz. http://www.pnj.com/story/news/2018/01/04/mad-dog-pac-matt-gaetz-billboard-pensacola/1003261001/

retired teacher: Probably too late to the party for you (or anyone else) to read, but billboards are a splendid idea (as seen in the outstanding film 3 Billboards Outside of Ebbing, MO).
Perhaps the idea will catch on. (My husband, whose father was an ad man {no, not a “mad” man} is always bemoaning blank billboards.)
Let’s give ’em what’s for!!

I just sent a contribution to some group called Mad Dog PAC, which erects billboards in the districts of the worst Congresmen. The First was in Florida and it called on the Congressman to explain his DUI record. The next will be in the district of Devin Nunes, who is Republican head of Intelligence Committee and Trump lapdog.

I need somebody to tell me how great my Senator is. I found out I can challenge her in the democrat primary by paying the democrats 200 dollars. What would be the point in doing this?
Today I left a hint for whoever operates “what’s the Buzz”
