Miss Candy had outfitted the Blue Angels for 43 years. The Navy was paying her $127,000 per year for the contract.
Without telling her, the Trump regime gave the contract to a white man 900 miles away and paid him almost triple.

Well, this isn't good

There's a situation unfolding in the land of online bookselling that I haven't discussed primarily because I have little information to share.
An unknown company is making multi-volume purchases, and when I say multi-, I mean some of us have been getting 500 orders a week.
For REALLY random books.
