Keith Barton spent 16 years and a lot of dollars in lawyers inside America's family court system. When he stopped hiring lawyers, he won his own appeal pro se. Then he wrote the fix in 5 pages, and now he is running for Congress in Texas to make states fund fathers instead of custody wars.
The math behind the mission: 22 million kids flow through family court every year, and studies he cites put 70 to 85 percent of violent crime behind people raised by a single parent. Equal parenting means higher earnings, less abuse, less welfare, less crime. His fix: judge checklists, written rulings, and federal incentives that respect the 10th Amendment.
Then we nerd out on the Proximal War series. Real Marine Corps air ground tactics 5,000 years in the future. What actually happens when humanity meets a Type II civilization. Liquid-born silicon aliens with triple helix DNA, Dyson rings built from dismantled moons, warp corridors that fold space like paper, and zero hand-waving (he did the orbital mechanics himself).
Plus Huey war stories only a naval aviator can tell: under the Golden Gate Bridge, inside Mount Pinatubo, low over DC, a Huey with no hydraulic fluid on the floor is a Huey you get out of, 15 mission sets to the C-130's 9, and call signs you earn by messing up (his: Krusty, with a K).
Author of the Proximal War series, the Joey America children's books, and the travel read series. 20 year Marine Corps veteran, Huey pilot, congressional candidate, family court reform advocate.
