BREAKING: Mike Johnson just told Fox that he might start a lawn business if he loses the gavel. He doesn’t want you to know he’s also fighting for his own seat. When he loses that too he can cut the grass instead of Medicaid. I’m Conrad Cable and I’m running to make it happen.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

To new followers and anyone on this website I might have helped laugh, please take a minute to read about my 2020 novel, The Great American Deception. It is by far my most popular book. scottsteinonline.com/books/the-gr... www.amazon.com/Great-Americ...
screenshot from https://scottsteinonline.com/books/the-great-american-deception/

Private detective Frank Harken could really, really use a cup of coffee.
Can you blame him?
His new case features a missing woman, a flaky client, a cranky security officer, a mysterious assassin, an overbearing mob boss, an ice-cold enforcer, and the best mini-golf the world has ever seen. Did we mention the fate of millions is at stake?

 

“Stein delivers a madcap sci-fi take on the hard-boiled detective genre in this fun, near-future romp that’s chock-full of rapid-fire wit, tongue-in-cheek literary allusions, and playful futuristic absurdity… Stein keeps the stakes high and the laughs coming … Sure to appeal to fans of Douglas Adams, this zany, uproarious mystery is a constant delight.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Get ready for some super great fun! The Great American Deception is a hilarious (and deeply disturbing) voyage through a futuristic netherworld of caffeinated robots and diet pizza. Somewhere—possibly nowhere—Douglas Adams is sighing pleasurably with a combination of approval and afterlife indigestion.”
—Gary Shteyngart, author of Little Failure and Lake Success

“The Great American Deception is by far the most enjoyable novel told from the point of view of a futuristic coffee machine I have ever read!”
—Ben Schwartz, actor and writer
