“Who had made the U.S. the world police? Should a congressman or Senator or even President be removed by force if necessary to preserve all that is right and good about America? The answer in my heart is a resounding “YES!” but can one man alone bring down their army of evil men? Doubtful.”
― T.J. Reeder, A Long Lonely Road

“fools continue to send fools and crooks to Washington to make stupid self-serving laws to make themselves rich, with no idea whatsoever what the word ‘work’ truly means, this had to happen.

― T.J. Reeder, A Long Lonely Road

“The Middle East of course was a shit hole, always was, and always would be. Europe was in a mess from all the Muslims they had let in, there was a story that in Germany in not too many years the Muslims would control the votes to win the entire government, France wasn't doing well either. I know there may be a big difference between the violent Muslims and the one who just want to live and have a flushing crapper but if push comes to shove we all know which side they will come down on. I saw that Detroit had a very large Muslim population and in fact many US cities did. To me they will always be an enemy standing behind us with a knife for our back. To them their religion is far more important then national citizenship. In fact most have never adapted to life here in America, they lived in slums of their own making and never bothered to learn the language except for enough to just get by, their communities could have been carved out of some middle east shit hole. It looked and smelled just like where they came form. It's a good thing I'm not a racist!       The way it looks it will be more of a war fought by groups, maybe separated by race to begin with but in time it would break down to a tribal state and race might not matter all that much. But the old guys were right, it was coming and nothing could stop it, I just hoped it blew right over our valley and missed us, right and leave a tooth under the pillow while your at it.”
― TJ Reeder, The Valley: Book 2: Beyond the Valley

“Help with simple things like staying alive, surviving. But in truth how to think. How to plan and how to think outside the box because the Box is open and that bitch Pandora ain’t going back in.”

― T.J. Reeder, Beware Sleeping Dragons: Book 2: The Dragon's Eyes

“Around a week after our return we heard a chopper approaching, the radio crackled and we heard the call sign "Guard One" asking for landing instructions, I heard our ever so proper radio girl Bessie answer with " Yo Dude! find a hole and fill it." I cringed, we need to maybe get some training for the comm girls. The pilot was laughing when he acknowledged her reply. I asked Kid if she had any advice about bringing some professionalism to the radio network, she said maybe if we paid people to do it but since everybody was a volunteer that we should be happy to have them. I gave up, it was a losing battle before I asked and I'm good at giving up in the face of female logic ( that's one of those moronic oxen things), taking my dignity, though in tatters, I retreated to the laughter of "them" all of "them" my home is full of " them's".”
― TJ Reeder, A Long Lonely Road: Book 19: The Guardians

“got a room in an older motel being run by some middle easterner as so many these days are. These folks show up here without a pot to piss in and the next day own a motel?? Beats me, I guess they have a rich relative named Uncle Sam.”
