I would love to see this book taught in every school and have PSAs made for television like we used to do.
with Grammer and math and civics.
I learned this when I was young and read authors who survived the Soviet Union and escaped.
it's time to remind people why we don't want this.

Story5 out of 5 stars 721
The War on Warriors uncovers the deep roots of our dysfunction—a society that has forgotten the men who take risks, cut through red tape, and get their hands dirty. The only kind of men prepared to face the dangers that the Left pretends don’t exist. Unlike issues of education or taxes or crime, this problem doesn’t have a zip code solution. We can’t move away from it. We can’t avoid it. We have only one Pentagon. Either we take it back or surrender it altogether.

Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over 40 years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.

This book is wonderful in the way it doesn't apologize or blame but gives reasons that are not excuses or allowances for what holds us back.
Very well done. I love that conclusion is not that government should step in and nanny state the situation.

A soldier, former member of Congress, and a presidential candidate, Tulsi loves her country: "I answered the call of duty and took an oath, dedicating my life to supporting and defending those freedoms, both in uniform and in public office. I became a Democrat when I ran for office because I saw them as a party that stood up for the little guy and against the interests of big business and warmongers. I remained a Democrat for twenty years, albeit with an independent streak." Today that party is unrecognizable.

Tulsa does a great job narrating and the subject matter is so important, I feel it should be required reading in every high school...and college.
You can hear when she is reading that these aren't just words to her. I was moved, and angered and given hope because even with all the nonsense and bad actors in this country, there are still people like Tulsi willing to put it all on the line to protect this country and the constitution it was founded on.

This reissue of Thomas Sowell’s classic study of decision making, which includes a preface by the author, updates his seminal work in the context of The Vision of the Anointed. Sowell, one of America’s most celebrated public intellectuals, describes in concrete detail how knowledge is shared and disseminated throughout modern society. He warns that society suffers from an ever-widening gap between firsthand knowledge and decision making—a gap that threatens not only our economic and political efficiency but our very freedom.

another great book from Tyrus!
Reviewed: 12-24-23
I love the way he gets his point across with logic, research, personal stories and humor.
I don't always agree with everything, but where we don't agree, he has still gotten me to consider another way to look at it.
Gotta love that! Can't wait for the next one.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 558
In You Can’t Joke About That, Kat Timpf shows why much of the way we talk about sensitive subjects is wrong. We’ve created all the wrong rules. We push ourselves into unnecessary conflicts when we should feel like we’re all in this together. When someone says “you can’t joke about that,” what they really mean is “this is a subject that makes people sad or angry.”
