    Another Orgasmic New Year 
    It has been far too long that I got together with my girlfriend for a slutty and slippery slide into the New Year, but this time, she has planned something special: A very special maid, providing very special room service, just for me. Or wait: Make that two maids, who both can't get enough of our sputtering holes, drenching them in everything that's wet and wonderful until they're plugged with a fist. How did I manage to talk about my book in between all that? Well, you should read and see! 
    After all, it has been... what, years? Hoo boy, a long time in any case, since I published my last book, and if you're at all curious what I've been up to and what my plans are for the next year, this is the place to find out. And hey, what better way to find out than in between layers and layers of smut, right? 
    Caution: Contains orgiastic lesbian sex, fisting, urination and quite a quite a bit of anal, if I remember correctly. Which I may not, my memory got hazy after a point.

    As seen on Tucker Carlson Tonight! 
     
     
     
    This is the story of how I tried to get the Hunter Biden laptop evidence to the authorities. 
     
     
     
    My life changed forever on April 12, 2019, when Hunter Biden stumbled into my shop requesting data recovery from one of his liquid-damaged laptops. After his father announced his candidacy for president of the United States, and Hunter failed to pay for and collect his computer, fear for my safety grew. There was paperwork in Hunter's possession giving me permission to examine and copy his data—someone was going to come looking for the laptop, and come looking for me. Concerned that I was sitting on evidence in a criminal investigation, I set out to hand everything over to the FBI. But, feeling betrayed by the FBI's inaction in providing the laptop as evidence during the impeachment trial, I then turned to Congress, and ultimately, to a lawyer for the president, Rudy Giuliani. When the story broke, Big Tech and social and mainstream media blocked the reporting. I was instantly labeled as a hacker and a criminal. My actions were labeled Russian disinformation, and it didn't take long before people started attacking my business and my character, forcing me to close my shop and flee the state.
