Annie can't read but if she could, she'd agree with Kirkus Reviews about The Girl Who Wore a Hockey Helmet being a "winning legal thriller" with its "vivid depiction of deep-seated Southern corruption with a troubled yet appealing hero." https://t.co/S05tpg4BKv

“Women’s hockey doesn’t really save the world, as the book’s title comically suggests. But the author fantasizes about a teenage hockey player who fends off a lascivious grope by Donald Trump—Mr. T in the story—preventing him from ascending to the presidency.”

https://t.co/IDAeAI4Whh “Cloak and Gavel" is the product of an eight-year struggle to force the FBI to reveal its Supreme Court snooping. Charns got . . . hard evidence that Hoover attempted to monitor the court's private deliberations and manipulate some of the justices." WSJ

So, my social media posts will contain #hockeyfightsfascism until Trump withdraws from the 2024 race or is defeated by the victorious forces of democracy and scientific enlightenment.  https://t.co/5JdqwfOPm3

[Alex Charns @AlexCharns]

Why #hockeyfightsfascism? Why not? Hockey is a tough, hardnosed sport. We wear helmets and carry sticks. When we're bad we're sent to the penalty box - the sin bin - for 2, 4 or 10 minutes. What other sport jails its miscreants?

[Alex Charns @AlexCharns]

Hockey is best situated to take down a dangerous, fascistically oriented, narcissist and wanna be dictator like Donald Trump. Game misconduct - ten minutes in the sin bin for denying he lost the election. This, followed by, ejection from the game.
