Presidential Campaign Tweets About Aliens
Having Fun Everyone Can Enjoy No Matter Who They Support
Please take a moment to remember all those who died in 9/11 and afterwards due to that day. May God have mercy on all of us.
Get the complete Brendan Murphy saga in the Fallen universe (which will continue after his character arch with Dormition). Veteran Brendan Murphy is assigned as a liaison to the mysterious alien race Sabia. Can he stop war, balance covert agendas, and save his own sanity? Now, both are also available on Kindle Unlimited!
Please remember to leave a review once you finish it. Also, I’d love to hear directly from you about your thoughts!
Speaking of which, here’s a new Risen review on Amazon I love. [Light spoilers edited out]
In the gripping sequel to Fallen, fans of Brendan Murphy are dropped directly back into the continuing action, with very little backstory. The political intrigue between the various Sabia factions and their human allies and antagonists continues, but as ever, the focus is on the characters and their inner turmoil; their conflicts, hopes, and fears.
As Esfir's pregnancy continues and Brendan's hybridization alters much of his DNA, he also learns more (and disconcerting) secrets about the Sabia's home planet, religion, and politics. Amidst shifting motives and alliances, he finds himself nearly destroyed by the various hard choices battling for his loyalty.
Brendan is presented to the reader through a microscope, where every physical and mental response to his dilemmas is described in detailed, vivid, and highly distinctive prose. With this approach, Abbot has meticulously crafted an intense and immersive experience. While this is primarily a psychological study, there is also a hefty dose of intrigue and action. The pacing is solid and the twists and turns are fascinating as the story winds to a mostly satisfying conclusion.
I did feel the ending could have been a bit longer, and I would have liked more explanation regarding the choice that the Sabia made about their relationship with Earth. And considering the amount of emotional and physical manipulation that Brendan has suffered at the hands of these powerful beings, [light spoiler edited out], one is left doubtful that despite his intentions, he can ever fully recover and have a truly normal life.
[Last line is positive but is a light spoiler so I won’t paste it here].
What if the People of the 2024 Campaign Posted about Alien Contact?
Earlier, a few friends and I were joking about how governments and militaries could mess up first contact with aliens. As we joked, we broke out Grok AI to see what those involved with the 2024 presidential election could post on social media. It turns out AI can do a great job with Trump tweets, but it is horrible with everyone else. That was disappointing but to be expected.
However, I started thinking about how I could do a better job and make a newsletter post at the same time. So, keeping the theme but writing it myself, here’s some innocent political fun we can all enjoy.
Donald Trump Discussion with Elon Musk on X Spaces
Trump: I've got some huge news, Elon. I've just been informed by the best people, and believe me they are the best, that I can tell you aliens are real. They're from Mars, can you believe that?
Elon Musk: I can, actually. I always wanted to go to Mars and colonize it.
Trump: Let me tell you, it's a fantastic place. They have the best technology, the biggest spaceships, and the most beautiful aliens you've ever seen.
Elon: That’s it. I’m going to lead the SpaceX expedition to Mars myself within a year’s time. We’re doing this.
Joe Biden (Before Dropping Out)
My administration agreed to a trade pact with some intergalactic neighbors. They're going to share their advanced tech to help us fix inflation and global warming. In exchange, I’m giving them unlimited access to my ice cream fridge.
Kamala Harris
I had an out-of-this-world meeting with aliens! They talked about outer space and their hyper drives, while I asked if we could use those for our electric school buses to take field trips to INNER space. #WatchOutMsFrizzle
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on a X Space
Host: Thank you for sitting down for this inter-
RFK Jr: I was once abducted by an alien. I got to its butt before it could get to mine.
Host: What?!
Tim Walz
One person’s alien abduction is another species' interplanetary neighborliness.
J.D. Vance
The alien visitors prove every one of my Hillbilly relations were right about what they saw. I will ensure Appalachia isn’t forgotten by finding out why aliens had nothing better to do than harass my kin. #RememberHopkinsville
Jill Stein
I will support green policies everywhere. It’s time for the Martians to change course! #BetterDeadThanRed
Marianne Williamson
I managed to tell the alien ambassador that “love” is our greatest resource. He looked at me with his tiny mouth ajar without blink (don’t know if he can). I hope he calls me back.
Kristi Noem
I need to come clean about something I said in No Going Back. Those little green men I discussed ethanol issues with were just some cosplay kids attending the Great Plains Nerd Festival at the Sioux Falls Ramada.

The Seeker of Solace by Troy Young - Free Sample
In a galaxy where lawlessness thrives on the fringes of civilization, "Seeker of Solace" intertwines the fates of an outlaw, a Marshal, and a mysterious gang in a high-stakes game of deception and redemption. Orlan Bazhaev, notorious for his life of crime, finds himself captured on a backwater planet, facing certain death. However, fate intervenes in the form of a Frontier Marshal with an offer Orlan can't refuse: his freedom in exchange for the elimination of his own gang, led by the ruthless Brodin Vos. As Orlan sets out on his treacherous mission, he's forced to confront his past, navigate betrayals, and question what he truly seeks beyond survival.
The narrative weaves through the desolate landscapes of Neg worlds and the morally grey territories of the Sector's outer rim, exploring themes of loyalty, identity, and the quest for a second chance. Orlan's journey is not just a hunt but a search for solace in a universe where redemption is as elusive as a shadow in the starlight. With each step, he delves deeper into a conspiracy that threatens to unravel the fragile peace of the galaxy, challenging his beliefs and forcing him to decide what kind of man he wants to be.
"Seeker of Solace" is a tale of action, intrigue, and transformation, where the path to redemption is paved with danger, and salvation lies in the most unexpected of places.
Until Next Time
Next time, I’ll talk about my time at BASEDCON! It was my first convention and I’m naturally an introvert. Then, I take a look at some of my favorite Halloween movies by genre. And soon, I’ll start releasing Dormition chapters!
As always, please leave a comment with any questions, reviews, thoughts, whatever about Fallen, Risen, Dormition, An Odd Pilgrimage or whatever else I have discussed. I promise to reply!
