A conservative publishers’ windfall.

Yep. First thing I thought too.
Plenty of those around.

They already have ideas, don’t give them more.
Destruction of the possibility of ideas and facts being discussed in the arena of discourse is a terrible trend.
Librarians already have refused to allow conservative books for decades now. Only the BS leftist ones and sob story ones about 1800s slavery. The donated books such as The Way It Wasn’t (on network TV slanting and censorship-—1980s) went into the literal trash compactor at the university library where I worked then.

Proving once again that multimillion dollar “book deals” with politicians are nothing more than laundered bribes.

I suppose there are non-American publishers, eh?
To replace the unAmerican ones.

A serial unhinged mass murderer Son of Sam compared to our greatest modern President. Both banned.
Speechless.

One thing LEFTISTs do not understand is supply and demand. They invite competition by their petty childish behavior.
And the LEFT cannot believe they are viewed as totalitarian.

He could probably make a mint by self-publishing. He has name recognition and a platform ...

Not going to subscribe or disable my ad blocker so, if someone could post the names of the authors signing this atrocity, I would greatly appreciate it. Already have plenty of authors on my personal black (can I say that still?) list but there’s always room for more.

“Free speech”, to the left, has always meant shouting down opposing viewpoints.

Stupid. He doesn’t need the money. He can self publish, or just release whatever he wants as an e-book. (Maybe with a suggested donation to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, the Jimmy V Fund, or some similar charity.)

remember who they are, by name- when this mess turns around they must be held to account.

Self publish. It’ll be the biggest self published book EVER and no lefties will get a dime from it.
