@benmank77.bsky.social I enjoyed your intro and afterword to the Doc Savage movie. Thank you for mentioning Lester Dent, who never quite got the recognition he deserved as the publisher used the house name Kenneth Robeson on the novels. One thing, Ron Ely's name is pronounced E-lee not E-lie.

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

In 1968, 13-year-old Mary Beth Tinker was suspended from school for wearing a black armband to protest the Vietnam War. We took her case all the way to the Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of Mary Beth and students’ right to free speech 56 years ago today.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

To all Canadians: You have a wonderful, rational, kind country with amazing healthcare. Sorry that your stupid neighbor to the south elected an irresponsible imbecile who has started a wholly unnecessary trade war with you. But we aren't too embarrassed to apologize.

My friend, and NY Times Bestselling novelist, Max Allan Collins has a new movie out, BLUE CHRISTMAS. It's a mash-up of Hammett's THE MALTESE FALCON and Dickens' A CHRISTMAS CAROL. Available on BluRay and DVD, and it's streaming on Amazon Prime for 3 bucks! A noir twist on the classic Scrooge tale!

My friend Matt Hiebert made, about 20 years ago, this documentary about Lester Dent, author of most of the original Doc Savage novels. It's now available to watch for free! Learn about the man who created the superhero genre! I was honored to be interviewed in this documentary!

1/4 A 🧵Gobsmacked and grateful as I am for the unanticipated # of new followers, I wanted to re-introduce the podcast I've created on the U.S. presidency, called (like my book), Democracy's Chief Executive. Since 2023, we've posted 3 "seasons" of 10-11 episodes each. open.spotify.com/show/59gIdLq...
