Thanks LaGrange College! They asked me what my favorite spot on our campus is for the photo. I told them right next to our student research! BTW, note my baseball tie, in support of our LaGrange College Baseball Team.
#FacultySpotlight Dr. John Tures is a professor of Political Science & coordinator of the Poly Sci program at LC. He has an active approach to teaching. "It's a good day of teaching when students are engaged, jumping in, playing a game, debating & bringing in their own examples."

Check out my novel "Branded." It's a novel with a married couple and their college students trying to solve a crime wave involving product placement! #reader #BookTwitter #booktwt #booktok #BookMe #story #storyteller #writers #writerscommunity #writersoftwitter #author #authors
When a professor publishes dangerous findings, powerful interests strike back. Branded by John A. Tures raises the stakes quietly and relentlessly. 🕵️ buff.ly/sEsWLCK #PoliticalFiction #Thriller #Books #AmReading #BookTok #ReadingCommunity #AuthorsOfTwitter

Here's a great memory...back during the pandemic, when not many places had a graduation, our LaGrange College Political Science and History Graduates stepped up to give our Class of 2020 a good sendoff.

Not only did we have the full in person LaGrange College ceremony in 2021, but Max Wood, our keynote speaker, was a future LC graduation speaker! Thanks all who came and spoke!

There are two killers of American military personnel. One's being executed. The other's being rewarded. pagosadailypost.com/2026/10/…

At @SMFSocy the Short Mystery Fiction Society, we had a discussion about what authors can do at book festivals & similar events. Rob Lopresti compiled that & ran it this month. My comments are included. Thanks Rob! #AuthorsOfTwitter #writers #writerslife sleuthsayers.org/2026/10/adv…

Run America. What could go wrong? Raise taxes or cut them. Build a wall or a high-speed railway. Abolish daylight saving time. Fantasy President lets you type any policy at all, then shows you exactly who loves it, who hates it and which states just turned on you.

In our @LaGrangeCollege Political Science Moot Court, Genny Garza and Jahvon Wells debated each other over whether a politician could sue someone's private blog for defamation. @LaGrangeWSoccer vs @LaGrangeFTBL.

We need to stop enabling election officials to bet on election outcomes. Nearly 40% of states have no laws about this. And for the other 60%, all but a handful classify such activities as misdemeanors. Contact your state legislator today! valleytimes-news.com/opinion…

Rep. Jack Kimble (R-CA) is also a parody account. California doesn't have 54 House Districts.

Great job, @FSU_nation. @FSU_Barstool @FSUFootball @Seminoles You did your best, Seminoles. But as they say in that classic movie on corruption "It's Chinatown, Jake." Even with the P.I. on the last play, the TDs taken away, the "holding" call on #77, FSU didn't quit.
