Another 5-Star Review: Blinders Keepers

Posted on October 30, 2022 by johnrachel

Just got another 5-star review for “Blinders Keepers”, posted all over the book-o-sphere. Specific incidents aside, as whacky and outrageously funny as it apparently is, I think it’s astonishing how well it captures the absurdity and circus-like environment of our current politics.

Posted on December 21, 2021 by johnrachel

Why should I be ashamed to let people know about my books? I worked hard on them, am proud of my work, and honestly didn’t write them for glory and money — though I admit I certainly wouldn’t turn away either — but merely put a smile on some sad faces out there or a twinkle in a few eyes dulled by bad TV and too many computers and smart phones.

BOOK REVIEW: Cancel This Book: The Progressive Case Against Cancel Culture by Dan Kovalik

Posted on May 6, 2021 by John Rachel

Dan Kovalik’s latest is a much-needed, laudable enterprise, courageously sounding the alarm about a tyranny being perpetrated in the name of moral and social renewal. Similar to genocide, it is cultural cleansing, a systematic destruction of what its proponents singularly deem uncomfortable, unsavory, threatening to them and their adherents. Woke is turning the culture and politics of our nation into a snuff film. Continue reading →
