Now, he’s leading a beer-fueled revolution, exposing conspiracies that shouldn’t exist, and rewriting the Constitution—with his fists. But shadowy forces want him gone. The Woke Mafia, the Deep State, and Hollywood elites have declared war.

Continue Jack's struggle. He never seems to make the right choice, but watching him make the wrong one is usually fairly entertaining. Alcoholism, drug addiction, and mental illness plague him and dog any efforts he makes to improve his lot. Watching Jack is like watching a fly buzzing around a window, banging into it again and again, never understanding that there's glass there. A fly doesn't even have a concept of "glass." Similarly, Jack is ignorant to the ins and outs of being human. How long will you watch him buzz around and smack into the glass? Transgressive author Christopher J. ...

With a three-year prison sentence, Jack had begun his final slide downward. Had he learned anything? Jack fell out of the world for years, off the map, unseen by everybody. He never knew if he was going to wake up in a cozy refrigerator box in a downtown alley or a chilly steel bunk at the county lockup. He'd become a junkie and hardened chronic criminal. His antics had long since ceased to be amusing to those that had used to shelter him.
