As Andrew Breitbart said, politics is downstream from culture. The failure of conservatives to address this is partially responsible for the Democrats disastrous usurpation of the media, education, entertainment, and government. Poll after poll shows the top three issues of voter concern: inflation, crime, and the border. Thin Blue Line dealt with the consequences of the defund the police movement. Private American deals with the disaster on the border, through the eyes of veteran Marcos Zamora, a second generation Cuban American.
Only twenty years ago, Hollywood understood that entertainment was job one. With leftist agenda invading everything from Star Wars to rom coms, those days are long gone. They scratch their heads over the success of a movie like Top Gun: Maverick, or 13 Hours which entertain without preaching or condemning the brave men and women who serve. Once in a while, entertainment represents the concerns of everyday Americans. When Death Wish appeared, audiences stood and cheered. Clint Eastwood’s Richard Jewell. Like most branches of entertainment, the left has taken over comic books. Beloved heroes have been “reimagined” as gay or bisexual. Colorist Gabe Eltaeb famously quit working for DC comics when they changed Superman’s slogan from “truth, justice and the American way” to “truth, justice and a better tomorrow.”
As a global elite seeks to erase all national identity and institute a top down, one size fits all supremacy, it is more important than ever to protect our national sovereignty. No organism, neither a single cell nor a nation, can survive without protecting its borders.
When we first meet Marcos, he’s on the border cutting a rapist’s throat. Every girl and woman who risks her life to cross into the US is raped. It’s part of the price of admission. The cartels charge $7000 per passage. Most immigrants don’t have it, so they must work it off. For men, it’s drugs. For women, it’s rape.
Longtime Punisher readers know my first goal is to entertain. There are no speeches or bumper stickers in Thin Blue Line or Private American. It’s solid drama from the first page. Marcos and his friend Gus understand that there’s only one thing the rich and powerful fear. Bad publicity. They record every encounter via drone. When the government wakes up to the fact that private Americans are stepping in where the government won’t, they use every tool at their disposal to punish these men. But the government can’t find them.
The cartels hire a hitman. On the run from the government and the cartels, Marcos and his best friend Gus find help from an unlikely source. Roland Purgamint, the mirror image of George Soros. Where Soros hates the United States and creates chaos, Purgamint, a first generation American, loves the US. He offers to fund Marcos and a small group of like-minded individuals. He calls them the Deplorables.

Update: Daily Kos published a libelous assault on the book written by an angry social justice warrior who had a competing book on Kickstarter. She urged her followers to contact Kickstarter and shriek shrilly about my “stochastic terrorism.” She succeeded in getting Private American kicked off Kickstarter and Crowdfundr.

Believe it or not, my first goal is to entertain. I just thought this would make a great modern day Punisher story.
Thank you for standing true to your vision, Mike.
