Half-Mast™
“The flag isn’t lowered for tragedy anymore — it’s lowered because America keeps failing.”
Half-Mast™ is a scathing political satirical guide and eulogy for the "American Alpha," told through real headlines that document a nation permanently stuck at half-mast. The book documents institutional clownery—from frat-house diplomacy to gas-stove culture wars—as both manifesto and mirror. The narrative reframes fragility as performance and masculinity as failed branding, exposing a culture performing strength while clinging to chemical crutches. This excellent political non-fiction book leverages immediate topicality and is designed for global resonance as a satire critiquing institutional clownery.
