Here it is—the single post of the week reserved exclusively for the generous paid subscribers. Upgrade today and you’ll be one of them! If you believe, like I do, that what you put out into the world comes back to you ten-fold, consider it a deposit in the karma bank. ;)

Don’t forget, annual subscribers get a free signed book and ALL supporters get my eternal gratitude, the honor of being a true Patron of the Arts, and the opportunity to bask in the glory of my one-of-a-kind Subscriber Spotlight.

If you know anything at all about me (other than that I collect cats the way some people hoard canned goods, I’m obsessed with my two dazzling daughters, and I love alliteration like Lindsay Lohan loves lip filler and legal trouble), it’s that I can’t resist a good conspiracy theory. I don’t hide it. I don’t apologize for it. I read FOIA dumps for fun. I’ve gone down enough rabbit holes to qualify as a part-time cuniculturist.

The more you know. ;)

But every once in a while, something happens that requires zero mental gymnastics, not a single scrap of tinfoil, and nary a leap of logic—because the “coincidences” line up so perfectly it might as well come with a laugh track.

Enter Ilhan Omar and The Great Syringe Spritz of 2026.

Take me to your pay portal!
