New Book Coming Soon: Age of Delusion

A Wake-Up Call for a Country Gaslighting Itself

I’ve spent the past few years watching our culture twist itself into knots. Truth replaced with hashtags. Science replaced with slogans. Common sense replaced with curated outrage. So, I did what any rational, stubborn, politically homeless American might do: I wrote it all down.


My upcoming book, Age of Delusion: How America Lost Its Mind and Why It Might Get It Back, isn’t your typical political screed. It doesn’t coddle the left or the right. It doesn’t worship politicians. It doesn’t tell you to “just vote harder.” Instead, it asks a simple question: How did we get so comfortable pretending reality doesn’t exist?

In these pages, you’ll find:


  • Chapters that pull no punches — from the cultish grip of DEI to the ideological capture of science, media, and education.
  • A straight-line look at the big delusions that keep us divided, compliant, and constantly at war with our own sanity.
  • No smug virtue signaling. No conspiracy nonsense. Just facts, context, and a challenge to see what’s right in front of you — even if it offends.

Age of Delusion is blunt. It’s uncomfortable in parts. And it’s meant to be. Because you can’t fix a lie if you won’t admit it exists.


America still has a chance to get its mind back — but it’s going to take regular people (yes, that means you and me) willing to speak honestly when it costs something.


If you’ve ever felt like the truth doesn’t have a home anymore, this book is for you. If you’ve ever been called crazy for pointing out what everyone can see, this book is for you. And if you think the next chapter should be written by grown-ups who value reality over narrative — well, that’s the entire point.


Stay tuned — I’ll be sharing snippets, cover art, and updates here as Age of Delusion gets ready for release.
