Hey, how about an exclusive excerpt from OVERLORD, the 8th Kelly Turnbull PEOPLE's REPUBLIC novel, coming this fall?
Here, Kelly preps for a mission!
Ernie Smith let Turnbull in through the back door of the facility, a sterile and generic office building on the outskirts of Dallas. It was not that Turnbull could not have walked in the front door with his ID. It was that Turnbull did not want to. There was the possibility that someone would attempt to take the place of Clay Deeds and presume to order him about and Turnbull preferred not to have to kick some schmuck’s ass all over the spy org’s headquarters.
He had his mission already.
“You got that focused look,” Ernie said as they walked down the linoleum-lined hallway under the flickering fluorescent lights.
“Oh, I’m focused,” Turnbull assured him.
“Word is that Deeds got taken,” Smith said as he stopped at the door of the armory and swiped his key card. The metal door’s locking mechanism clacked, and he pushed through. “I’m guessing that’s why you’re heading into the blue.”
“For a guy no one is supposed to know exists, everyone seems to know Clay,” Turnbull said.
“He’s a player at the highest levels,” Smith observed, walking inside. “Or was. You think he’s alive somewhere in the People’s Republic?”
“I know he is,” Turnbull replied, following Smith through. “They told me.”
“They?”
“Clay is bait.”
“Which you’re taking.”
“I have a plan.”
“So, you’re going to go on a massive killing spree to get him back.”
“That’s the plan.”
“That’s always your plan.”
Smith pushed the door shut. The lock engaged.
The armory was actually rows and rows of weapons of all types and sizes and calibers/gauges.
“Looks like The Matrix in here, Ernie. I like it.”
“You said you needed guns, lots of guns. Well, I got lots of guns.”
“Excellent.” Turnbull smiled like a fat boy in a Cheetos factory.
Is my new @townhallcom column just wishful thinking, or is the blue wave gonna be as flaccid as a Democrat on his wedding night?
“The midterm polls suck, and they might be right – if you believe them, we could be headed for anything from a blue tsunami to a blue wave to a blue trickle. But that’s a big if. To avoid that conclusion, you have to believe that the majority of polls, which are undeniably showing most of our key Senate candidates losing, are inaccurate. Now, this is where it gets tricky, because we want to believe in a massive polling miss. We want to believe that the polls are skewed Dem-ward. We want to believe that there are Republicans out there who aren’t being surveyed by these polls who are going to show up on election day and pull our bacon out of the fire. The power of wanting is potent, and it can blind you. It can make you stupid. It can make you miss the obvious. And that danger exists there. Those polls could be substantially correct, in which case we’re ...
My new @townhallcom column is totally out of patience with knuckleheads, losers, and schmucks…
“Every election cycle we hear the same stupid spiel from a certain band of pseudo-conservative quitters: “Oh no, I’m not getting my way. I’ve got no reason to vote. I’m not going to vote. The Republicans aren’t conservative enough, so I’m just going to let the communist pervert Democrats win. Waa, waa, waa.” I don’t know whether this is tactical stupidity or a cry for attention — maybe it’s both — but it’s exhausting. Boss, I’m tired. Tired of the ostentatiously blackpilling pundits and posers who think electing Democrats by sitting out the election is the way to morph the Republican Party from a bunch of crony codgers managing America’s decline like gentlemen into a party that’s making America great again. It’s not. You never win by losing. And in fact, we’ve been winning. If you’re mad because you think Donald Trump hasn’t performed, you’re not ...
