No First Lady should be personally mocked or ridiculed. Their public and political comments are fair game. That is how it should be, in my opinion.

When Darkness Comes by John Anthony Miller, is a gripping historical thriller that has enthralled readers with its vivid portrayal of courage amid atrocity, earning widespread acclaim for its emotional depth and unflinching look at the human spirit during World War II. Set in Nazi-occupied Paris in 1942, the novel weaves together the fates of three resilient souls: Paul, a haunted banker reeling from the Gestapo's slaughter of his family; Rachel, a bold 16-year-old Jewish girl who defies danger to lead her kin in quiet rebellion; and Claire, a compassionate bookstore owner whose hidden network smuggles Jews to safety at great personal peril. As the city's shadows lengthen under occupation, their unlikely alliance forges bonds of sacrifice, forbidden romance, and unyielding resistance, forcing each to confront the darkness within and without while racing against the tide of impending doom.Readers have praised the novel's heart-pounding tension and richly drawn characters. A Goodreads reviewer enthused, “Wonderfully written and sure to keep any reader up into the wee hours of the morning to finish. I was almost disappointed when I got to the end. It was that good!” Another shared, “I loved this historical fiction set in France during WWII... one of the main characters, Rachel, does this not just to her boss but also to the French Police and the Nazi officers! (the epic scene is on page 122) And she’s only 16!” On Amazon, a fan raved, “I give When Darkness Comes 100 Stars!! Miller has crafted a story with a cast of soulful characters caught in a web of survival,” awarding it 5 stars. A UK reviewer added, “A great thriller set in the Second World War... well written, easy read with each chapter ending, leaves you wanting to continue to get to the end of the story.” X posts from @authorjamiller throughout 2025 spotlight the book's re-release and its “power force” impact, highlighting its availability on Kindle Unlimited, which has amplified its reach among historical fiction enthusiasts.@authorjamiller zurl.co/iCdWe zurl.co/8743D zurl.co/YEWiT zurl.co/Fp2F3 John Anthony Miller, an American author born in Philadelphia to English and Italian roots, has established himself as a virtuoso of historical fiction with his evocative WWII narratives.

Let me break this down for people like Elizabeth Warren and Graham Platner who just can't seem to understand how @elonmusk could become the world's first trillionaire without a rigged economy. They're saying a man who risked everything to RESET the space industry, inventing sustainable space travel with reusable rockets that land themselves, who stepped up and SAVED astronauts from space because Boeing and NASA couldn’t do it, doesn’t deserve his wealth? Or a man who pioneered electric vehicles while the rest of the auto industry said it could never happen, THEN GAVE HIS TECHNOLOGY AWAY FOR FREE, didn't earn that money? I don't see Pfizer doing that. Or a man who saved free speech and gave a voice to the voiceless across the world by buying Twitter and creating X? And who provided people in remote areas, totalitarian states, and warzones with access to the outside world through Starlink? That man should be punished with a wealth tax? Give me a break.

The woman who was thrown off a 130-foot bridge without a cord in Brazil was still alive when an off-duty nurse got to her on the ground. "I even talked to her... I told her, 'Nobody dies on my shift.' Even though I wasn’t on my shift..." said nurse Rayza Dias. Three of the workers have been arrested and charged with homicide for the death of 21-year-old Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas. Two of the suspects reportedly tried fleeing following the incident and had to be tracked down by a military helicopter.

Be honest, have you EVER said “I like animals better than people?”

Tells you everything. Rather than: “let’s make sure many more Americans can become trillionaires” Instead it’s: “let’s make sure that no other Americans ever reach that level of success.” These people are parasites. Explicitly opposed to human flourishing. Amazing.

🇧🇷 A 21-year-old woman has died after a rope jump in São Paulo state, launched from a bridge without being properly clipped to the safety rope. She fell around 40 meters at the Ponte do Esqueleto. Witnesses say people nearby spotted the loose rope and started shouting just before she went over. 3 men have been arrested. Police say it was an informal group with no company behind it and no permission to run jumps there, and that they never checked the rope was actually attached to her. They were never authorized, never regulated, never stopped, until it was too late. Source: O Globo / Writer: Julie
