Those Violent Amish

Three men are dead in Fresno, after a man named Kori Ali Muhammad opened fire, hitting four white men in total and killing three of them. He is also suspected of the murder of a security guard this past Thursday.

A survey of his Twitter shows him using the well known Amish hate phrase "Allahu Akbar." Not that you would know that from the AP, as they said that he was instead shouting "God is great" as he went on his murderous rampage. True that is a rough approximation of what the phrase means, but I am reasonably sure that everybody these days knows who is likely to be shouting that phrase as they murder the innocent.

It's the Amish of course.

Anything to further obfusticate the facts of the case and push the Narrative of Muslims(I mean Amish) as peace-loving, misunderstood individuals, not like those violent Christians who go to church on Sunday where they plot to further their terroristic reign over the world.

ABC is now reporting that the aforesaid violent Amish extremist has been arrested. We can all rest easier now.

Writing Update

So far this week I haven't gotten too much done, I've mostly been outlining. Book 1 was fully outlined in basic one sentence form, so I have been going back through the outline and tightening it up, by removing things that impede the narrative flow, and expanding the areas that help it progress. I want to make sure that I don't have anything outlined that is just "filler" or something clearly thrown in just to pad the word count a bit, I hate it when authors do that. The goal is to get each one sentence outline expanded to a full paragraph. Then I'll do a scene breakdown, then and only then will I write the story. My hope is that this will not only keep the books feeling cohesive, but will also help me use my writing time more effectively. The outline for The Pyongyang Incursion is twenty-one points currently, and I have expanded nine of them to a full paragraph in the last week. I also have the first three outline points done on the sequel, The Vladi

Axis and Allies 1942 Online Review

I have been enjoying Axis and Allies for almost twenty years now. I started with what is now called Axis and Allies Classic, the 1984 edition. I bought it for forty dollars (plus eight dollars shipping and handling) when I was about twelve. I had played the game at a neighbor's house, and absolutely fell in love with it, obsessing over it and mentally playing and replaying games in my head, trying to understand its ins and outs. I read the strategy guide, looked for opportunities to try new strategies, and even built a custom table for the game, something that barely fit into the cramped room my brother and I shared. I never became an expert in A&A, at best I am a fairly good casual player and the nice thing about A&A is that you don't have to be a massive board game nerd to enjoy it. The rules are complex, but the basics are easy to grasp. Once I went off to college, it was years before I played another A&A game, and in that time there had been a couple rev
