Clarity from Chaos guest: Dani Katz, author of The Language of Betterarchy: A Blueprint for Uniting against Tyranny.

In the much-anticipated follow-up to her critically acclaimed, Word Up: Little Languaging Hacks for Big Change, Dani Katz focuses her Quantum Languaging word wizardry on societal overhaul. Equal parts cultural critique and (r)evolutionary handbook, The Language of Betterarchy offers tangible tools to unify the populace and evolve our culture for the “better” with our every word.

After dismantling the myth of patriarchy as prime cultural perpetrator, Katz pinpoints hierarchy as the nexus of distortion doing the collective body bad. She goes on to offer simple, yet profound communication upgrades that empower, uplift, equalize and inspire, while evolving our culture into a “betterarchical” structure that serves the greatest good of all.

A sweet, sassy and subversive read, The Language of Betterarchy challenges the erroneous fictions propping up victim culture and identity politics, as well as the gender divide and the so-called “return of the divine feminine.” A must-read for the visionary change-makers who came here to transform the world for the infinitely more wonderful.

Dani Katz, author of The Language of Betterarchy: A Blueprint for Uniting against Tyranny, established her reputation as one of Los Angeles’ edgiest literary talents by way of her bold voice, her expanded perspective and her mastery of language. As a visionary consciousness explorer drawn to the outermost edges of ALL of it, Katz writes raw, deep, illuminating and hilarious about sex, consciousness, wellness, metaphysics, and new paradigm culture, having published – to date - hundreds of articles in LA Weekly, Los Angeles Times, Vice, Teen Vogue, LA Yoga, Santa Fe Reporter, Reality Sandwich, et al.

In addition to her broad spectrum of practical experience and formal studies, including a Master’s Degree in Journalism, Katz has spent the past several years immersed in the study of Quantum Languaging and conscious communication, researching and perfecting the myriad ways, whys and hows that language influences our every human experience.

Known as well for her adorable line drawings as she is her wily wordplay, Katz debuted her first graphic book, Yes, I Am, in November of 2016.

Clarity from Chaos special guest: Lucas Miles, is an ordained pastor and author of Woke Jesus: The False Messiah Destroying Christianity.

“In this bold, analytical, and readable book, Miles names names and dismantles the fallacy of progressive Christianity.”

—ERIC METAXAS, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author and Host of the Nationally Syndicated Eric Metaxas Radio Show

Today’s social justice movements call for equality, civil rights, love . . . solid Christian values, right? What if there is more to social justice than Christians understand? Even worse: What if we have been duped into preaching ideas that actually oppose the Kingdom of God?

Woke Jesus uncovers the real dangers to Christianity and America from the Christian Left, Progressive or Woke Christianity. These radical alternatives abandon traditional biblical interpretations regarding marriage, gender, racial equality, justice, original sin, heaven and hell, and salvation, replacing them within a new fabricated morality. This fabrication is built around political correctness, cancel culture, hedonistic values, obsession with public health, allegiance to the leftist state, universalism, and virtue signaling.

Lucas Miles is a trusted voice in the American church who has consistently addressed some of the most challenging topics in theology, politics, and culture. He is the host of The Epoch Times’ Church and State with Lucas Miles, Edifi’s award-winning The Lucas Miles Show, and a co-host of The Church Boys podcast, where he has interviewed some of the biggest names in media, such as Mario Lopez, Jim Cavaziel, Kathie Lee Gifford, Candace Bure, Charlie Kirk, and Sean Hannity.

Lucas and his work have been featured in books and on TV and radio programs, as well as syndicated in articles across both political and religious news outlets, such as Newsmax, The Blaze, FlashPoint, Fox News, The Washington Times, CBN, and The Christian Post.

In addition to Woke Jesus: Saving America from a False Messiah, Lucas is the author of the best-selling book, The Christian Left: How Liberal Thought Has Hijacked the Church, as well as the critically acclaimed book Good God: The One We Want to Believe in but Are Afraid to Embrace. Lucas lives and works in the South Bend metro area.

Clarity from Chaos guest: Naomi Wolf, author of Facing the Beast: Courage, Faith, and Resistance in a New Dark Age. Wolf is co-founder and CEO of DailyClout.io, a successful civic tech company.

From New York Times bestselling author Naomi Wolf, Facing the Beastis a devastating, detailed account of wrongthink, deplatforming, and an unexpected political, personal, and spiritual transformation that followed during one of the most divisive times in American history.

In this uncompromising investigation into today’s most urgent issues, Naomi Wolf uses her own wildly politicized pilgrimage―from New York Timesbestselling author and high-level Democratic consultant to a journalist cast out from the elite political and social circles she once moved through―as a stunning narrative framework that is both chilling and incisive.

Wolf’s sin? Doing the job that good journalists once prided themselves on: asking questions, challenging authority, and, during one of the most politically divisive moments in modern history, exposing the many failures of the public health response during the COVID-19 pandemic by chronicling the dangerous descent of our democracy into tyranny, censorship, and totalitarianism.

Unable to remain silent in the shadows and unwilling to collude with the mainstream, Wolf bravely covers topics that few other writers dare to address critically for fear of being deplatformed. Facing the Beast explores reproductive rights, medical freedom, the uncurious thought-policing of the “progressive” left, the Second Amendment, the criminal relationship between the FDA and Pfizer―Wolf’s clear writing repeatedly shines light in the dark corners of our fractured society.

“Naomi Wolf is one of the bravest, clearest-thinking people I know. The reason you hear the forces of repression so desperately trying to dismiss her is because she is right.” ―Tucker Carlson

One of the world's most influential feminists, Dr. Naomi Wolf doesn't just comment on the world's most pervasive problems, she aims to solve them. Dr. Wolf is a bestselling author, columnist and professor. She is a graduate of Yale University and received a doctorate from Oxford. She is co-founder and CEO of DailyClout.io, a successful civic tech company.

Clarity from Chaos guest: Joel Gilbert, author of Michelle Obama 2024: Her Real Life Story and Plan for Power and director of the documentary Michelle Obama 2024. Gilbert is a political commentator and foreign policy analyst based in Los Angeles.

Many foreign politicians are assuming Joe Biden won’t be the Democratic nominee in 2024. Joe will pull out before the first primaries, it will be too late for a grassroots candidate to enter the fray; an establishment stooge will be crowned at the convention. And the name of the lucky winner? Michelle Obama.

Michelle Obama will run for President in 2024 and base her candidacy on a life story that is more racially divisive and very nearly as fictitious as that of her husband Barack.

Michelle Obama is not who she pretends to be. In Michelle Obama 2024, filmmaker Joel Gilbert does a deep dive into the life of the most popular woman in America and reveals one game-changing detail after another. Gilbert’s investigative journey takes him from Chicago to Princeton to Washington to Martha’s Vineyard and beyond. Along the way, he discovers that Michelle has created a cynical, highly effective, false narrative of her life story based largely on gender and race. In Chicago, Gilbert chronicles how Michelle has repeatedly run from the Black community or sold it out, much as her father did when he served as a precinct captain for the Daley Machine. Gilbert then exposes Michelle Obama’s “I hate politics” disclaimer as strategic cover for her intense lifelong political advocacy as he deconstructs Michelle’s best-selling autobiography, Becoming.

As the best-loved Democrat, Michelle has been preparing to run for President since 2016 by following the same formula as Barack did before her. This includes writing an autobiography, giving the keynote speech at the Democrat National Convention, and heading up a voter registration organization. Gilbert also unveils Michelle’s psychological dark side and explains how her deep feelings of inadequacy drive her to run for the presidency. Gilbert ultimately reveals the real Michelle Obama, one very few Americans know or understand, but that all must be wary of as she seeks the highest office in the land. If she wins in 2024, Gilbert predicts, Michelle will take orders from global elites...and chaos will follow as surely as night follows day.

Like her husband Barack, Michelle’s ‘life story’ is more fiction than fact.

Clarity from Chaos guest: Gregory Stenstrom, co-author of the book "Parallel Election: A Blueprint for Deception." Despite the mainstream media trying to gaslight the American public into believing there was no election fraud in 2020, a recent poll by Rasmussen and The National Pulse revealed that 52% of Likely U.S. voters believe it is at least somewhat likely that cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election and 50% of voters believe it issomewhat likely there will be widespread cheating that will affect the outcome of this fall’s congressional elections. We must restore the public’s faith in our electoral process but to do this there must be a full litigation of the fraud perpetrated in 2020 and measures must be taken to rectify that this fraud cannot be repeated in future elections. And therefore, despite the legal threats and bullying and intimidation tactics from the Pennsylvania political machine, Stenstrom and Hoopes have decided to tell their remarkable story, for the first time, in their new book Parallel Election: Blueprint for Deception. Ever since Delaware County residents Gregory Stenstrom and Leah Hoopes witnessed the massive election fraud perpetrated in their home county on November 3rd, 2020, they have made it their mission to expose the fraud and bring the perpetrators to justice. Because everything in the book is 100% accurate, the Pennsylvania political machine is resorting to unprecedented measures to prevent the publication of this book. Ever since Stenstrom and Hoopes testified at the Gettysburg hearing on November 26th, 2020, they have been working through the system to obtain justice, but this has not worked. This is why they have decided to write this book. Only when the truth is made available to the public, can we begin to fix our election system. The public must know what happened so they can demandchange. What makes this book so important is the “Parallel Election” that was orchestrated in Delaware County, PA was replicated in the eight other swing states.

George and Alex Soros Max Out to Israel-Hating Congresswoman

Soros family boosts Israel critic Pramila Jayapal with max donations to reelection campaign

Clarity from Chaos special guest: Rachel Ehrenfeld, author of "The Soros Agenda".

George Soros is a man with billions at his disposal and one of the most powerful networks in the world, whose motto is: "If I spend enough, I can make it right." But what is "right," according to Soros?

George Soros's past as a survivor of World War II is an experience he applies as his primary credential to justify meddling in the political and social affairs of countries around the world. The self-proclaimed agnostic, Soros disputes Israel's right to exist as the Jewish State but exploits the religion he was born into as a tactic to shield him from criticism. For the past four decades, Soros has been using his multibillion-dollar, political-philanthropic global network to impose his Weltanschauung on the world.

Decades ago, Rachel Ehrenfeld perceptively predicted, "Unchallenged, Soros would change the political landscape of the U.S." Join her on the journey as she exposes the Orwellian lingo, schemes, and strategies Soros has been using to transform America from a thriving, law-and-order democracy into a Sorostian world.

BIO: Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld, author of The Soros Agenda, is the Founder and President of the New York-based American Center for Democracy and the Economic Warfare Institute.

Clarity from Chaos guest: Kari Lake, author of Unafraid: Just Getting Started.

An unmatched champion for the America First movement, Kari Lake in her first book, Unafraid: Just Getting Started, outlines her journey from being the most beloved newscaster and broadcast journalist in Arizona to the leader of the largest grassroots movement in the state’s history.

Kari Lake shares an exclusive, uncensored look inside her journey. From the time she walked away from the media, to the beginning of her bid for governor, her David and Goliath primary campaign, her endorsement from the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, and the events of the general election campaign that led to the sabotaged Arizona election of 2022.

This is the story of how a wife and a mother of two became what the mainstream media called “The Most Dangerous Politician in America.”

This is the story of a Mama Bear who believes that politicians should answer to We the People. It’s a story of a woman who takes a sledgehammer to every obstacle she faces. This is the story of how Kari Lake is Unafraid.

In 2022, Kari ran for Governor of Arizona with the endorsement of President Donald J. Trump on a platform of putting Arizona First. Kari believes in secure borders, energy independence, safe streets, education not indoctrination, pushing back against the radical Biden agenda, and preserving the western heritage that makes Arizona special.

Kari Lake is a voice for the silent majority and fights back against the relentless assault on our freedoms by the radical left. She believes Arizona can and should be the standard bearer for America First policies nationwide.

Clarity from Chaos guest: Richard C. Lyons, author of The DNA of Democracyand Shadows of the Acropolis.

The DNA of Democracy

An American Poet takes a novel look at Democracy through a series of essays in “The DNA of Democracy.” The author visits upon democracy’s rare occurrences in history, from its western origins in Athens and Rome, to its long evolutional growth in England, and the utterly unique establishment of democracy in America, where the combined influences of the Amerindian’s view of life, some revolutionary old world philosophers and a generation of rebel, warrior poets wrought an unprecedented nation!

Shadows of the Acropolis

Do you wonder why, as a citizen, it seems that you are no longer represented? Do you wonder why half the nation is incensed no matter who is the President? Do you wonder why the nation feels so politically divided? Do you wonder why people in this country are polarized and enmity between each side is on the rise? Do you wonder why people in the media speak in many tongues providing different “truths?” Do you wonder why our politics have become a matter of name calling, closed-door maneuverings and political persecutions rather than a matter of respectful debate between parties of mutual respect and good intent? Do you wonder why we seem to be reaching for solutions, not through democratic processes, but through intrigue, hatred and violence? You have the right book in your hands right now - As we must set about to actually “know” our nation as she is… at this pivotally important moment

The Left's False Attacks on Clarence Thomas Are Part of a Pressure Campaign to Undermine the Supreme Court

False leftist attacks on Justice Thomas are part of pressure campaign to undermine Supreme CourtClarence Thomas’s Luxury Travel And The Gift Tax

Clarity from Chaos guest: Robert H. Bork, Jr., is the President of the Antitrust Education Project. He also heads the Bork Group, a public affairs agency. Bork is an experienced advocate specializing in the development and implementation of communication strategies in support of litigation and legal policy.

The attacks on Justice Clarence Thomas for his friendship with Texas billionaire Harlan Crow not only continue an illegitimate political pressure campaign against the Supreme Court but also expose the moral vacuum that is Washington, D.C. ProPublica, a website funded by liberal millionaires, the Washington Post, a newspaper owned by a billionaire, and The New York Times, a media company long owned by a wealthy family, have runs stories over the last month claiming that Thomas has violated ethics codes governing federal judges.

"This tangled web around Justice Clarence Thomas just gets worse and worse by the day," Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin, D-IL, said this week. Several of his colleagues have called for an investigation into Thomas and have made demands for confidential financial information from Crow. But a close look shows that this supposed scandal amounts to little more than an accounting error that has never given rise to claims of scandal before, at least when liberal judges were involved.

In the first ProPublica report, critics attacked Thomas for failing to report in his financial disclosure forms that Crow had hosted him for trips on his private jet, yacht, and lodge. The financial reporting rules did not require disclosure of hospitality from personal friends – indeed, only in March, after these trips took place, did the federal judiciary decide that judges in future should report private jet travel or stays at commercial hotels. Although the article implied that Crow sought to buy influence with Thomas, the former runs a construction and real estate company that has no business before the Court.

Clarity from Chaos guest: Mary Theroux, is director of the documentary Beyond Homeless: Finding Hope. Mary is the Chairman and Chief Executive of the Independent Institute.

A new film directed and narrated by CA conservative think-tank Independent Institute's Chairman and CEO Mary Theroux highlights San Francisco's homeless issue and compares it to a system that is working in San Antonio, TX called Haven for Hope. Haven for Hope is a public/private initiative on a large campus which provides housing, treatment, life skills and much more (Mary's keyword for this is transformational services.) Haven for Hope is sort of a one-stop-shop that has proven results, taking people off the streets of downtown San Antonio. Mary would eventually like to start such a campus in the Bay Area, as she thinks this model can work here in Northern California.

Beyond Homeless: Finding Hope provides a clear outline, rooted in peer-reviewed research, of alternative approaches that result in actual, radical declines in homelessness, and a path for those experiencing homelessness to transform their lives and achieve their full potential."

Clarity from Chaos guest: Joel Gilbert, author of Michelle Obama 2024: Her Real Life Story and Plan for Power and director of the documentary Michelle Obama 2024. Gilbert is a political commentator and foreign policy analyst based in Los Angeles.

Michelle Obama is not who she pretends to be. In Michelle Obama 2024, filmmaker Joel Gilbert does a deep dive into the life of the most popular woman in America and reveals one game-changing detail after another. Gilbert’s investigative journey takes him from Chicago to Princeton to Washington to Martha’s Vineyard and beyond. Along the way, he discovers that Michelle has created a cynical, highly effective, false narrative of her life story based largely on gender and race. In Chicago, Gilbert chronicles how Michelle has repeatedly run from the Black community or sold it out, much as her father did when he served as a precinct captain for the Daley Machine. Gilbert then exposes Michelle Obama’s “I hate politics” disclaimer as strategic cover for her intense lifelong political advocacy as he deconstructs Michelle’s best-selling autobiography, Becoming.

As the best-loved Democrat, Michelle has been preparing to run for President since 2016 by following the same formula as Barack did before her. This includes writing an autobiography, giving the keynote speech at the Democrat National Convention, and heading up a voter registration organization. Gilbert also unveils Michelle’s psychological dark side and explains how her deep feelings of inadequacy drive her to run for the presidency. Gilbert ultimately reveals the real Michelle Obama, one very few Americans know or understand, but that all must be wary of as she seeks the highest office in the land. If she wins in 2024, Gilbert predicts, Michelle will take orders from global elites...and chaos will follow as surely as night follows day.

The reader will find compelling reminders of how our nation’s successes were built on the principle of self-reliance and became the greatest industrial power in the world, how far we have strayed from that path and lost our way, and how we can get it back.Pandemonium: China’s Global Strategy to Cripple America is our urgent wake-up call as we face the greatest national security challenge of our century. The stakes couldn’t be higher with China’s increasing aggression, nuclear expansion, and the escalating military buildup paid for by America’s middle class. Curtis Ellis warns that “A crisis with an extraordinarily ambitious China is inevitable.” Heshows how we can win with his groundbreaking plan featuring a bold, transformative “New Declaration of Independence" that will end America’s dependence on China and set our nation on a new course.

Will You Go To Hell For Me? A startling new documentary from Vince Everett Ellison, revealing how Democrats have contaminated America’s soul…any why voting for them can keep you from Heaven.
"This started from a trip my daughter and I had and we stopped by McDonald's and this lady [who was] going to a pro-abortion march asked my daughter to join her because she saw she was Black, and she thought she was a liberal Democrat," Ellison said. "And my daughter very, very nicely said, 'Uh, ma'am, I'm a Christian and I vote my values."

"And that was just so interesting to me because I said, why don't more people say that? 'I'm a Christian and I vote my values?’"

"If you want to know what evil is, I'll make it easy for you. Anybody that intentionally harms a child, even Jesus Christ, the greatest human being [who] ever walked this earth, said, ‘If you harm one of these little ones, it is better that a millstone be tied around your neck and you be thrown into the sea.’ Well, I hope some of these Democrats can swim."

Vince Everett Ellison was born on a cotton plantation in Haywood County, Tennessee. His parents at that time were sharecroppers. Through hard work and a belief in Jesus Christ, his parents pulled him and his seven siblings out of poverty. His family started the Ellison Family Gospel singing group, where Vince sang and played multiple instruments as a child and young adult. Vince worked for five years as a Correctional Officer at the Medium/Maximum Kirkland Correctional Institution in Columbia, SC. Afterward, Vince worked in the nonprofit arena.

In 2000, Vince received the Republican Party nomination for the South Carolina 6th Congressional District. In 2019, Vince wrote The Iron Triangle: Inside the Liberal Democrat Plan to Use Race to Divide Christians and America in their Quest for Power and How We Can Defeat Them, which became an Amazon #1 bestseller. He has appeared numerous times on Hannity, The Laura Ingraham Show, Newsmax, OAN, The Joe Pags Show, The Brian Kilmeade Show, The Howie Carr Show, and many other radio and television programs.

Vince is a member of Project 21 and has written numerous articles for American Greatness magazine, Bizpacreview.com, and other publications.

The Iron Triangle: Inside the Liberal Democrat Plan to Use Race to Divide Christians and America in their Quest for Power and How We Can Defeat Them

Clarity from Chaos guest: Dr. Rainer Zitelmann, author of In Defense of Capitalism. Dr. Zitelmann examines the ten most common objections about capitalism:

capitalism leads to hunger and poverty
inequality
unnecessary consumption
environmental destruction
climate change
wars.

Capitalism, its critics say, prioritizes profits over humanity, creates dominant monopolies, and undermines democracy. Dr. Zitelmann scrutinizes each of these arguments in turn and reveals the critical flaws that debunk them. He offers counter arguments to each charge, deploying a wealth of historical evidence and eye-opening facts to prove that it is not capitalism that has failed, but a century of anti-capitalist experiments.The second part of the book explores popular perceptions of capitalism in Europe, the USA, Latin America, and Asia and is based on a specially commissioned Ipsos MORI poll of 21 countries, the results of which are presented here for the first time.

Bishop, California – May 9, 2023. With the help of Retired U.S. Federal Judge Stephen G. Larson, Bishop Unified School District (“BUSD”) and a group of Parents who filed claims on behalf of nine students for damages against BUSD for violating their children’s civil rights, resolved their claim on April 27,2023. BUSD not only has to pay $400,000 because of the harm the children suffered, BUSD must also provide counseling and tutoring for the students and training for all BUSD faculty and staff on “public health, response to public health emergencies, informed consent, and bullying/harassment/retaliation issues.” The Parents who pursued their damages claims against BUSD resulting in this victory were inspired, galvanized, and educated by two key organizational leaders.

Leslie Manookian, president of Health Freedom Defense Fund (HFDF), and Tracy L. Henderson, Esq. founder of CPU (California Parents Union and California Parents United) took these parents’ calls when they asked for help.

Ms. Manookian is a former successful Wall Street business executive and award-winning documentary filmmaker. She conceived, wrote, and produced, The Greater Good, an award-winning documentary on vaccines. In addition to the Health Freedom Defense Fund Board, Leslie currently serves on the boards of the Weston A. Price Foundation and Health Freedom Idaho. She is a qualified homeopath, nutrition and wellbeing junky, and a health freedom advocate.

Residents of Texas, Arizona, and other states along the US/Mexico border are bracing for a potentially massive influx of illegal immigrants starting May 11th. That’s when Title 42, put in place during COVID to make it easier for authorities to expel illegal immigrants, is set to expire. Even before the expected human wave of asylum seekers puts an additional strain on our already hoarse 1,500-mile+ southern border, deadly consequences are already taking place in Texas.

A 42-year-old Mexican illegal immigrant named, Francisco Oropesa, gunned down 5 people, including women and a 9-year-old child earlier this week. The suspect remained at large prior to being captured Tuesday night after a massive statewide manhunt. FOX News reports Oropesa had been apprehended and deported back to Mexico an astounding 5 times prior to his deadly rampage.

“My fear is that my fellow Americans in other states can’t wrap their heads around the severity of the border crisis. It is so serious here that the city of El Paso has declared a state of emergency because so many asylum seekers are under the belief that starting May 11th, they will have free and easy access to the country. Thousands are camped out just across the river in Juarez and are about to stream into the country illegally. Regardless of your political views, neither Texas nor anywhere else in America has the infrastructure in place to handle the enormous influx of people,” said Battle.

Award-winning author, Richard Battle is the author of several books including his latest, “Made in America by AmeriCANS, not AmeriCANTS,” which salutes the indomitable can-do American spirit. He has appeared on dozens of radio, print, and TV outlets offering his insight and analysis.

Clarity from Chaos guest: Mr. Murray Sabrin, PhD, author of From Immigrant to Public Intellectual : An American Story.

Joe and Kamala will not be on the 2024 ticket…Joe Biden announced his reelection bid today via a slick produced video. The president made his announcement despite the fact that most Democrats do not want him to run for reelection. The good news for Biden is that they would vote for him anyway. Biden’s announcement essentially clears the field for him preventing any establishment candidate from entering the race. The wild card for the Democrats is RFK’s entry into the primary. In a less than objective article about his candidacy, the NYT reveals how it has become a mouthpiece for the DC power structure.Another Biden/Harris ticket is making the Democratic power brokers nervous.

Here is my Florida fearless forecast for the Democratic ticket. By mid 2024 Biden drops out of the race and the insiders maneuver to nominate the utterly feckless, power-hungry Gov. Gavin Newsome of California to replace Biden. That would mean Kamala could not be the VP nominee because the president and vice-president must be from different states (Art. II, Sec. 3). The insiders thus get a new ticket with one that would be more competitive than old Joe and the giggler from California. A woman would have to fill the VP slot, but not necessarily of color. I think the odds-on favorite would be Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, a state the Democrats would like to keep in 2024, but a state they could afford to lose. It is now nearly May 2023 and every day that goes by increases the possibility of a serious medical/cognitive issue for Biden. This could be the reason the DNC announced there will be no debates of the primary candidates.If an incumbent candidate, especially the president of the United States, does not debate his opponents, he is not worthy of reelection. Period. A robust debate of the issues among the candidates is crucial for a vibrant democracy. If Biden does not debate RFK, Jr. and others who are in the race or may jump into the primary, then Joe should call it a day and retire to Delaware.

Clarity from Chaos guest; Mr. Vince Everett Ellison presents his startling new documentary Will You Go To Hell For Me?

The most significant things can start from the most ordinary moments.

“This started from a trip my daughter and I had and we stopped by McDonald’s and this lady [who was] going to a pro-abortion march asked my daughter to join her because she saw she was Black, and she thought she was a liberal Democrat,” Vince Everett Ellison recalls. “And my daughter very, very nicely said, ‘Uh, ma’am, I’m a Christian and I vote my values.”

“And that was just so interesting to me because I said, why don’t more people say that? ‘I’m a Christian and I vote my values?’”

Fear? The fear of being shouted at. The fear of being ostracized. The fear of being canceled, and losing one’s career, friends, and social standing. The siren song of the woke herd mentality can be enticing. But not to the Ellison family.

“They want you to castrate little boys and cut off the breast of little girls. And they’re telling people they’re not going to be held responsible for this? That is a lie. The Democratic Party is an evil institution. They are controlled by a cabal of perverts, liars and psychopaths,” said Ellison.

“Evil is anyone who intentionally harms a child,” Ellison recently told Emerald Robinson on Lindell TV. He noted that Democrats in Virginia recently blocked two laws related to harming children. One law would have required schools to call parents if their child is transitioning from one gender to another. Another would have required boys and girls to compete in sports aligned with their birth gender. Democrats blocked both, interfering with the parent-child relationship and opening the way for biological boys to compete in girls’ sports, which is both unfair and unsafe given boys’ inherent size and strength advantages.

In 2000, Vince received the Republican Party nomination for the South Carolina 6th Congressional District. In 2019, Vince wrote The Iron Triangle: Inside the Liberal Democrat Plan to Use Race to Divide Christians and America in their Quest for Power and How We Can Defeat Them, which became an Amazon #1 bestseller.

Come along with us to some of the most prestigious colleges in America. We’ve come to campus to bury forever a popular culture warrior talking point: there is no college free speech “crisis.” Crisis requires conflict. It requires warring parties. And on campus today, the war is... over. The dissidents lost, and the mono-culture is the new normal.

Our first episode features the case of Amy Wax, professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania. Professor Wax is on the brink of having her tenure broken and job dissolved for the offense of... expressing controversial political opinions.

A product of working class upstate New York, Wax has been unapologetically critical of affirmative action, “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion," and other left-wing shibboleths.

Features an interview with Brown professor Glenn Loury.

Clarity from Chaos guest: Mr. Gregory Wrightstone. Greg is a geologist and the Executive Director of the CO2 Coalition in Arlington Virginia. He is bestselling author of Inconvenient Facts: The Science that Al Gore doesn't want you to know.

The CO2 Coalition has reviewed the National Science Teaching Association’s Position Statement on Climate Change and has found that it has serious problems, which we address in this assessment. Our objections to this document are many but can be separated into two major categories. Our detailed rebuttal, Challenging NSTA Position Statement on Climate Change, was published March 23, 2023.

• Reliance on “consensus” science and a rejection of critical thinking skills and the scientific method.
• NSTA’s embrace of the hypothesis of “harmful man-made warming” despite its basis in flawed science and government opinions and its rejection of all contradictory science.

A primary role for the NSTA should be to develop critical thinking skills for students and to instill in them knowledge and use of the scientific method. Students should be encouraged to review all facts on a subject (in this case climate change) and make up their own minds rather than be indoctrinated into an established political agenda.

Unfortunately, the NSTA has taken a strong position that is antithetical to the scientific method, critical thinking and open scientific debate. Its position is one of censorship of any scientist or science that does not support the NSTA-approved “science.” The NSTA Position Statement on Climate Change fails to delineate between real science and political science.

Mr. Wrightstone is a geologist with more than 35 years of studying the Earth's processes. He earned a bachelor's degree from Waynesburg University and a master's from West Virginia University, both in the field of geology. He has presented the results of his research around the world, including India, Ireland and China.

Gregory’s book was the result of a quest for the truth about climate change — a subject uncritically reported by the mainstream media of an Earth lurching inexorably toward climate apocalypse. Contrary to the hyperbole of climate alarmists, Wrightstone’s review of the science provides the historical context of the Earth that shows clearly that rising temperatures and increasing carbon dioxide are benefiting both the planet and the human condition.

The attack on what we stand for and what we believe in is well underway, and very little is being done to counteract it...

Clarity from Chaos guest: Jared Knott, author of Tiny Blunders/Big Disasters: Thirty-Nine Tiny Mistakes That Changed the World Forever. Knott is a decorated combat infantry officer in Vietnam in the First Air Cavalry Division.

Normally we think of wars as involving shooting, tanks, warplanes, artillery barrages, amphibious assaults and graphic videos on the evening news. But modern warfare can take on unusual, even grotesque, configurations which, in some cases, may be even more threatening than the conventional kind.

It is well known that the synthetic opioid fentanyl and its precursors are manufactured in China, exported to Mexico, and sold primarily to the Sinaloa and Jalisco drug cartels among others at a meager price. The cartels then manufacture the actual finished product in pill form and bring it across our open border to be sold to our vulnerable and unsuspecting young people.

The casualties are predictable and yet staggering: 72,000 Americans die each year from fentanyl overdoses alone. The drug is sometimes disguised in the form of other medications or more benign recreational drugs as a trap for the unsuspecting. Drug overdoses are now the leading cause of death in the United States among young people between the ages of 18 and 44. This was not true even just a few years ago.

All of this would seem to be counter-productive. Why would the Chinese and the drug cartels want to kill their own customers? In the context of China’s war to dominate the world, it should be understood that the purpose of this huge international program is not to create a profit so much as it is to weaken and damage America as much as possible. It is part of the Chinese campaign of hegemony to bring our nation and its people under their domination.

If there is any doubt about the success of this campaign against our complacent population, a quick review of the casualty counts brings the entire situation into sharp focus. The battle deaths from our last four wars are listed as follows:

The Korean Conflict: 33,739
Vietnam War: 47,434
Persian Gulf War: 1,565
Global War on Terror: 6,852
Total: 89,590

The exact number of deaths from Chinese imported drugs for the last three years is not known. However, at 72,000 plus per year, the death toll could easily exceed 180,000. This would make it approximately double the deaths from our last four wars combined.

Mr. Jared Knott has had numerous articles published in the Mensa Bulletin and in graduate school textbooks on subjects ranging from Supreme Court Reform to Arctic Exploration. He is a decorated combat infantry officer in Vietnam in the First Air Cavalry Division.

Clarity from Chaos Guest: Ms. Maxine Albert, longtime partner of author Curtis Ellis, who died from his battle with cancer on February 14, 2021.

“When the history of this time is written, Curtis Ellis will be remembered as an economic nationalist who answered the call and manned the ramparts.… Curtis Ellis was an American Original…a man of ideas and a man of action; Curtis Ellis knew the issues; Curtis Ellis knew the players; Curtis Ellis knew the traps.”

—Steve Bannon, Preface Author, and former White House Chief Strategist

Pandemonium: China’s Global Strategy to Cripple America

This comprehensive, vitally important book reveals China’s decades-long campaign to weaken and overtake America through economic warfare, trade abuse, technology theft, and cyber espionage. Curtis Ellis, one of the most strategic thinkers of our time, offers a precise and skillful analysis to create an essential roadmap in redirecting American thinking about the Chinese Communist Party and its mission for global primacy. The reader will find compelling reminders of how our nation’s successes were built on the principle of self-reliance and became the greatest industrial power in the world, how far we have strayed from that path and lost our way, and how we can get it back.

Pandemonium: China’s Global Strategy to Cripple America is our urgent wake-up call as we face the greatest national security challenge of our century. The stakes couldn’t be higher with China’s increasing aggression, nuclear expansion, and the escalating military buildup paid for by America’s middle class. Curtis Ellis warns that “A crisis with an extraordinarily ambitious China is inevitable.” Heshows how we can win with his groundbreaking plan featuring a bold, transformative “New Declaration of Independence" that will end America’s dependence on China and set our nation on a new course.

How to Save Our Schools from the Left’s Radical Agenda

Parents of the World, Unite!: How to Save Our Schools from the Left’s Radical Agenda

Clarity from Chaos guest: Mr. Ian Prior, author of Parents of the World, Unite!: How to Save Our Schools from the Left’s Radical Agenda

This essential playbook reveals the winning strategies for successfully fighting a radical woke agenda in your kids’ schools.

Ian Prior is one of the most articulate and successful parent-activists in the United States. Armed with 12 inspiring battle-tested rules and revealing stories about sparring with self-righteous Woke neighbors (the “Chardonnay Antifa”), Ian shares secrets about what fellow parents can do in their own school districts to stop the Left's dark vision from taking root.

Get ready to laugh. This is not a boring education book. With real world lessons and funny anecdotes readers can connect with, Ian explains how families can win the battle to stop divisive and dangerous concepts rooted in critical race theory and other dangerous left-wing ideologies from spreading to their schools. He convincingly makes the case that the Left envisions a public education system in America where children are no longer the responsibility of their parents but rather mere wards of the state.

You’ll be shocked and amused by the outrageous stories in Ian’s suburban county that unexpectedly became ground zero for the parents’ rights movement. This sign-of-the times book helpfully explains the confusing and infuriating cultural moment we find ourselves in.

Parents of the World, Unite! is an indispensable book for American families who believe they should be able to raise their children without government interference in their moral, religious, and ethical choices -- and are ready to join a revolution of parents.

Mr. Prior is one of the most recognizable voices in the parents’ revolution that has swept the country. Ian began his career as an attorney in New England in 2002 after graduating from Boston University School of Law. He transitioned into politics in 2011, working on various Republican campaigns before serving as a top spokesman at the Justice Department. Ian is married and has two daughters in elementary school in Loudoun County Public Schools in Virginia. In 2021, Ian formed the group “Fight for Schools."

Barnette is an author, veteran, former adjunct professor of corporate finance, wife, homeschooling momma bear, and was the 2022 Republican Candidate for U.S. Senate, PA. that took the country by storm.

As the Grassroots Director and Advisor to the Vivek Ramaswamy 2024 Presidential Campaign, Kathy defied tremendous odds in her most recent campaign for the open U.S. Senate seat in Pennsylvania. Going up against an unprecedented smear campaign and big money, she ran a formidable race and surged in the last few days. Having spent less than $2 million to run her entire campaign, Kathy was in a statistical tie for 1st place and ultimately secured over 330,000-PLUS Pennsylvanians’ votes.

She is a veteran, a former adjunct professor of corporate finance, a conservative political commentator, an author, a proud wife and mother of two great children! Appearing regularly on national TV and radio, Kathy’s first book Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain: Being Black and Conservative in America explains why liberal policies have failed the black community time and time again – and will fail the larger American community as Democrats rush to the hard Left of the party.

Is The Era of Trusting Doctors And Hospitals Over? What Is The No Surprises Act?

What Is The No Surprises Act?

Why AMA backs Texas doctors’ lawsuit on No Surprises Act provision

CLARITY FROM CHAOS GUEST: Dr. Daniel J. Haller, MD is a general surgeon practicing in Long Island, NY. Dr. Haller filed a federal lawsuit in federal challenging the “No Surprises Act,” a bill passed in 2020, which barred doctors in hospitals from billing patients fair rates if they are out of network.

No Surpise: The No Surprises Act Punishes Doctors, Panders to Insurance Carriers

The AMA and the American Hospital Association (AHA) support a Texas Medical Association (TMA) lawsuit challenging the Biden administration’s final rule implementing the independent-dispute resolution process created by Congress and contained in the No Surprises Act.

“Hospitals and doctors strongly believe that no patient should fear receiving a surprise medical bill and that patients should be kept out of the middle of any billing disputes between providers and commercial health insurance companies,” says a joint statement from the AMA and AHA. The organizations’ focus continues to be on ensuring that the independent dispute resolution process between health plans and physicians (or hospitals) outlined in the statute is implemented fairly by the Administration.

The two associations said they plan to file an amicus brief supporting the TMA lawsuit (PDF), which was filed in the U.S. District Court the Eastern District of Texas and names as plaintiffs the U.S. departments of Labor, Treasury, and Health and Human Services, along with the secretaries who lead each department.

The AMA and AHA also noted that the amicus brief will explain how the final rule departs from congressional intent—just as the September 2021 interim final rule did.

“The Texas court previously held that the interim final rule impermissibly rewrote clear statutory terms by placing a thumb on the scale in favor of commercial insurers,” the AMA-AHA statement says. “The final rule suffers from the same problems.”

Dr. Daniel Haller is a general surgeon in Rockville Centre, New York and is affiliated with multiple hospitals in the area, including Mercy Hospital-Rockville Centre and St. Catherine of Siena Hospital. He received his medical degree from Technion-Israel Inst of Technology Faculty of Medicine and has been in practice between 11-20 years.

Clarity from Chaos guest Mr. Robert Spencer, is the director of Jihad Watch and author of The Sumter Gambit: How the Left Is Trying to Foment a Civil War

What is the Sumter Gambit? It’s the concerted effort by the Left to push the most extreme policies and ideologies into American public life, while simultaneously labeling any opposition to their overreach as treason.

While this strategy has been developed for decades, only since the Trump years has it become their central organizing principle and, indeed, the only governing strategy of the Democratic party. Critical Race Theory in schools, extreme gun control and abortion laws, Covid lockdowns and mandates–and all that is just the beginning.

The purpose of it all is to push non-Leftist Americans into an impossible corner–where they are forced to choose between giving up their liberty and their most dearly-held principles; going to jail; or fighting back. When the last becomes the only choice, the Left plans to unleash the entire might of the Military-Industrial Complex to defeat and destroy any vestiges of dissent. They’ll have to do it, they’ll say, to protect us from an “insurrection.”

At that point, we will have the Civil War that they have wanted, and planned for, since at least the 1960s.

The Sumter Gambit is a brisk primer on the primary differences between the two camps in America today, and the ways in which Americans can and must act now to preserve our nation. We must strengthen the country against its internal enemies who want to silence their opposition and impose upon us a radical Leftist ideology that is in the process of transforming America into a land no one would ever dream of calling the Land of the Free or the Home of the Brave.

There is no doubt that America is suffering from grave crises today. Here the noted political analyst, Islam expert, and historian Robert Spencer shows just how severe those crises are–and points the way back from the brink of civil war to political, societal, and cultural sanity.

Clarity from Chaos guest: Mr. Gordon Knight, author of Deep 6 Diaries, The True Story of One Little Guy Trying to Defend Himself, His business, and His Elderly Father from Bullying Bureaucrats and Government Criminality. Civil Servants bullied the little guy. He fought back. This is the story of how Gordon Knight’s family business was targeted for destruction by the Canadian Civil Service, envious of Knight's success and wanting the lucrative monopoly that would result from crushing him. It’s the story of this one man defending himself, his business, and his family against the might of the marshaled forces of the Federal Government. And it’s about corruption run by that Government in its own country, and in the US, and throughout the world. The bureaucrats, it turned out, weren’t targeting Gordon Knight as a one-off; it was part of a much broader practice. The bureaucrats were running cross-border counterfeiting operations, pay-to-play schemes, selling legislative votes, tax fraud, they were caught falsifying import documents, safety testing results, fabricating entire certifications, and all in trade for money. And Americans died as a result. This same Civil Service caught in corruption was caught rigging the trials that threatened to expose it. Then they arranged for a life-sentence in prison for Gordon Knight, on conjured charges of course, but unofficially because this one man had reported civil service conduct in public, posted with voluminous evidence. His position unsafe in Canada, Gordon Knight fled the country. Gradually, the story of one man fighting back had become the story of massive government corruption within the Civil Service in Canada and in the US, collusion between government departments in both countries and between the Canadian civil service and the judges of the courts; a relatable story of a real Deep State advancing its own interests at the expense of the people it’s supposed to be serving. This is the record of one little guy in the fight of his life. It’s told in date entries, week-by-week reporting of civil service conduct and defensive moves to stay afloat. It’s the story of what it takes to survive and to win against the longest odds. An instruction manual, if you like, for sinking the corrupted ship of state. The editor is listed anonymously for their protection. Mr. Gordon Knight, author of Deep 6 Diaries, is the owner of PS Knight, a publisher of electrical guidebooks. For more than 50 years Knight’s family business has been publishing such guidebooks on how to install electrical wiring safely and in compliance with electrical laws. But Knight has a competitor — the Canadian government, which also publishes its own guidebooks. Right now, after nine years of litigation and a run all the way to the Supreme Court, in order to protect the private interests of the civil service, the Courts of Canada have Ruled that laws are indeed privately owned by whomever drafted or lobbied for their passage into law.

CLARITY FROM CHAOS GUEST: Dr. Rainer Zitelmann, author of In Defense of Capitalism

Rainer Zitelmann examines the ten most common objections to capitalism: capitalism leads to hunger and poverty, to rising inequality, to unnecessary consumption, to environmental destruction, to climate change, and wars. Capitalism, its critics say, prioritizes profits over humanity, creates dominant monopolies, and undermines democracy. Zitelmann scrutinizes each of these arguments in turn and reveals the critical flaws that debunk them. He offers counter arguments to each charge, deploying a wealth of historical evidence and eye-opening facts to prove that it is not capitalism that has failed, but a century of anti-capitalist experiments.

The second part of the book explores popular perceptions of capitalism in Europe, the USA, Latin America, and Asia and is based on a specially commissioned Ipsos MORI poll of 21 countries, the results of which are presented here for the first time.

Dr. Zitelmann is a historian, sociologist and multiple bestselling author, whose books include "Hitlers National Socialism", and "The Power of Capitalism. He has published over 26 books, which have been translated into numerous languages around the world.

Clarity from Chaos guest: Ms. Stella Morabito, author of The Weaponization of Loneliness: How Tyrants Stoke Our Fear of Isolation to Silence, Divide, and Conquer.

Expect the woke left to try to smear you as a “fascist” if you object to children being taught to hate themselves or others because of their race. A recent op-ed in The Guardian has warned us. It headlines the word “fascism” to describe Florida’s 2022 legislation that puts the brakes on some of the most divisive and abusive ideologies being forced into American schools and boardrooms.

One of those curricula is Critical Race Theory, a particularly destructive product of identity politics. It aims to instill resentment and guilt in Americans by relentlessly preaching that America, and specifically “white” Americans, are irredeemably racist. It’s akin to coercive thought reform. But those who speak out against such psychologically manipulative programs seem to have emboldened many more Americans to openly support legislation like Florida’s.

However, as the Guardian op-ed illustrates, proponents of agendas like CRT are reacting to this refreshing outspokenness with ever more demonization. Their smear tactics vilify those who don’t support such lesson plans for impressionable children or training for new employees. “Fascist” is just one of countless smear words that circulate in Big Media to cut off conversation. Others include “bigot,” “hater,” “white supremacist,” “domestic terrorist,” “Nazi,” “homophobic,” “transphobic,” “domestic terrorist,” “conspiracy theorist,” etc.

CRT simply forbids us to see one another as unique persons each with differing perspectives, personalities, experiences, and sufferings. For example, Kendi has written that color-blindness is “a mask to hide racism.” I imagine this is exactly why Martin Luther King’s most iconic quote is nowhere to be found among the 15 quotations engraved on the memorial that was dedicated to him in Washington DC in 2011. To judge people “by the content of their character” rather than the color of their skin is anathema to CRT propaganda.

Stella Morabito is the author of The Weaponization of Loneliness: How Tyrants Stoke Our Fear of Isolation to Silence, Divide, and Conquer. She is a senior contributor to The Federalist where she has written extensively on the social fallout of propaganda and group think.

The scion of a powerful South Carolina legal dynasty, Alex Murdaugh was charged with murdering his wife and son. After a dramatic six-week trial in South Carolina, jurors took less than three hours to reach a guilty verdict after hearing how Alex Murdaugh gunned down his wife Maggie and son Paul on the family’s sprawling 1,700-acre estate. The once-powerful attorney will now spend the rest of his life in prison.

Why did this particular trial, and the top-rated Netflix documentary series, captivate a horrified nation, exposing layers of ugliness that defy understanding? “What can we learn from this unfathomable family tragedy?” questions Heather Dugan, nationally recognized relationship expert and award-winning author.

Some of Heather’s talking points include:

Dysfunctional relationships feel normal within their asphyxiating bubble. The sooner we can consider the origins of our relational contexts, the better chance we have to build healthy futures for ourselves and our loved ones.
Abusive, co-dependent, and other unhealthy relationships thrive because it’s easier for familiar cycles to spin on than to hit the brakes and expose the truth of imperfect lives.
Loneliness gives rise to addiction, which is the toxic third-wheel partner in co-dependent relationships. It holds the wheel and steers the course until the cycle is broken.

U.S. Should Turn Ukraine War Over to Its European AlliesA Long Day's Journey Into Putin's Night

By Ivan Eland

Instead of a quick Russian victory, Russia’s second invasion of Ukraine seems to be settling into a drawn-out slugfest. After Ukrainian soldiers surprisingly thwarted Russia’s offensive on Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital city, the gleeful United States rallied NATO nations to provide the Ukrainians with tens of billions in weapons technology.

After some Ukrainian battlefield successes in throwing back the Russians in the east and south of Ukraine, which gained back some Russian-occupied territory, the United States and its allies gradually succumbed to the vision of decisively handing the Russian Bear with a stinging military defeat.

Yet, Russia still has some advantages. By essentially invading Crimea and parts of industrialized eastern Ukraine in 2014 and combining this conquered territory with that of its initial gains in the east and south in the 2022 invasion, the Russians have given the Ukrainians a Herculean task to recapture such a large land area against a more significant and sometimes well-dug-in occupying force.

Unless the reported low morale of the Russian force causes it to suddenly collapse—as German troops did in 1918 during World War I—the war likely will turn into a long, bloody slog.

Currently, the United States provides more military aid to Ukraine than all other countries combined. If the Europeans lack some of the weapons needed by Ukraine, they can buy them from the United States and send them on. Through several recent presidential administrations, the U.S. military establishment has been trying to “pivot to Asia” to deal with the much bigger threat of a rising China, but the strategically overstretched United States—U.S. national debt has reached $31.5 trillion—has repeatedly been diverted from this objective by self-inflicted quagmires in the Middle East and providing tens of billions of aid to Ukraine.

Second, the Russian fighting force has been shown to be a paper tiger, despite its large mass alone likely being able to lock up the war with Ukraine in stalemate for perhaps years—much like Russia’s other foreign conflicts.

Third, a better solution would be to reach a settlement that gives both countries a face-saving way out and creates the best chance for long-term stability—that is, the absence of future wars over the same ground.

In the longer term, the two exhausted parties might agree to hold a referendum, or referendums, in Russian-speaking areas of Ukraine to let the people decide whether to be part of Russia, Ukraine or even a newly independent country. Such self-determination can often help settle conflicts based on ethnic or religious strife.

Two American citizens are dead after a violent kidnapping and shootout in Mexico that is making headlines around the world.

Two others in the traveling party that were injured are now hospitalized back in the U.S. after receiving an armored escort via ambulance in a convoy of Mexican military and American National Guard trucks with mounted machine guns.

The two survivors were taken by the FBI to Valley Regional Medical Center in Brownsville, Texas where they remain hospitalized and under guard.

The four had traveled together from North Carolina so one of them could get a cosmetic medical procedure, a tummy tuck, from a Mexican doctor in the border city of Matamoros.

Each March and April, tens of thousands of American college students go to Mexico for spring break, and many thousands more head south of the border throughout the year looking for fun in the sun.

Clarity from Chaos guest and Travel expert Janet Sanders lived in Mexico until earlier this year and nearly lost her life to the corrupt local police officials under the drug cartel's power. She strongly cautions any American citizen from going to Mexico, especially now with tensions on the rise there. Sanders is urging parents of college students to keep their kids out of Mexico at all costs. “College kids who are there to party won’t make good decisions under the best of circumstances, and now, bad choices could turn deadly,” says Sanders.

“These Americans that were kidnapped by the drug cartels in Mexico were murdered, and we still haven’t declared the cartels a military target. It’s way past time that we authorize U.S. military force against the cartels, and protect our people", said Sanders, who is currently writing a book about her own dangerous experience in Mexico and oversees the travel advisory website https://mexiknowinfo.com/

“My heart goes out to the families of my fellow Americans murdered in Matamoros. It is only because of intense pressure from the media and the U.S. government that the two others are alive. This violence happens every day in parts of Mexico, and no one usually hears about it. That must stop, and I’ll do everything I can to help” said Sanders.

Built on Family—Built for FamiliesClassical Conversations is a proven Christian homeschool program created by parents for parents. We do this through a Christ-centered and family-friendly approach to homeschooling that makes everything biblical and hospitable, focused on three simple key areas: Classical, Christian and Community.

Our home education program covers K-4 to college credit and includes college degree opportunities for parents, as well. We believe that you are the best educator for your student, and we make the homeschool journey doable. We not only provide you with a consistent roadmap that you can follow at your own pace, but also connect you with a local homeschool community group, giving you accountability and the support of knowing you are not in this journey alone.

From its origins in 1997 with eleven students and parents in the basement of Leigh Bortins’ North Carolina home to proudly serving over 45,000 families now enrolled in its programs spread over 50 countries globally, Classical Conversations always was and always will be about family. The Bortins family has always valued following God’s guidance in teaching other families how to “train up their children in the way that they should go.”

In 2022, Fox Nation made a companion documentary retitled “The Miseducation of America.” Although the documentary differed from the book and did not align with my personal views on the problems and solutions to education, I could see the Fox team was trying to expand the conversation beyond civil government education. Accordingly, Classical Conversations (CC), my home school support organization, promoted watch parties for Season 1 and discussed our points of agreement and disagreement. The CC home-schooling community was, in general, happy to see a major media outlet finally acknowledge what we have been shouting from the rooftops for 50 years.

From Fox Nation’s perspective, the series was well-watched and well-received. Pete Hegseth wanted to continue the series and ignite a growing insurgency that could break the hold of civil government on education. I hoped that Season 2 would be less about the obvious results of inherently socialist education and more about the myriad of truly free-market, privately-funded, academic choices that already exist. Through some mutual friends, I was recommended as a guest for Season 2 and was excited that Pete Hegseth included me in the series. I am so grateful to have been included in the final episode. I’m pleased that Season 2 ended on a positive note with Classical Conversations and the Association of Christian Classical Schools highlighted.

READ MORE HERE:

Leigh Bortins, is the founder and chief visionary officer of Classical Conversations, which supports classical, Christian homeschoolers in all fifty states and in thirty foreign countries.

The MisEducation of America: Season 2 is a documentary inspired by The Battle for the American Mind by Pete Hegseth and David Goodwin, now streaming on the Fox Nation app.

The Case for an Amer'CAN' Hall of FameWith all the halls of fame for sports, music, heritage, and other categories, I propose we create a new gallery of fame celebrating the most outstanding AmeriCANS in history.

What, or better yet who is an AmeriCAN? AmeriCANS come from all sexes, nationalities, creeds, faiths, and colors. They were born in the United States or arrived as quickly as possible. Their commonality is living entire lives leaving legacies of their CAN-do accomplishments. None were perfect, and to a person, they overcame adversity and setbacks, reaching their highest AmeriCAN achievements.

Yes, there are nominees on my list below that we celebrate in many other ways, but a more significant number of people we may not know deserve appropriate recognition. Your hometown hero is the person or persons that make a big difference but never get much of an attaboy for their efforts. A big part of being an AmeriCAN is that most of them wouldn’t want the praise anyway; that’s not why they do what they do in the first place.

So, here’s the inaugural list of nominees for the AmeriCANS Hall Of Fame:

The AmeriCANS Hall of Fame Class Of 2023

George Washington - No list would be credible without beginning with the father of our country. His perseverance through the darkest days of the American Revolution was indispensable in our independence. Citizens revered him so significantly he could have been king or president for life. His servant leadership and limit to two terms as president set an example honored for 150 years.
Madam C.J. Walker- The first African American woman self-made millionaire building a cosmetics company in the 19th century. Born in 1867, she overcame racism, sexism, a lack of education, and poverty. Upon her success, she mentored the next generation and was a philanthropist. We have a biopic about Tonya Harding and not this lady?
Helen Keller – She lost her sight and hearing at 19 months but demonstrated what one could achieve despite physical disabilities.
Stephen Jobs – Founder ofApple Computer Corporation, built the first computers in his garage.
Hedy Lamarr – Yes, the actress, but she also invented frequency hopping benefitting WIFI, GPS, and Bluetooth. Her inventions contributed to victory in World War II and the 21st-century technology of today and tomorrow.
Billy Graham – Evangelist and counselor to 12 U.S. presidents
Pat Tillman – Bravely walked away from his NFL pro football career to serve during the early days of the War On Terror and lost his life in Afghanistan
Mark Twain – Author and speaker who brought out the best of America in his stories.
Sacagawea – Essential guide for the Lewis and Clark expedition across America.
Martin Luther King Jr. –Pastor and civil rights leader who significantly influenced the advancement of people of color through non-violent means

Sarasota, FL - The Zelenko Foundation, along with many community partners, will hold a press conference on March 20, 2023, at Sarasota Memorial Hospital to demand an external investigation into the COVID-19 hospital protocols that potentially endangered, injured, or killed patients. The conference will be held at 9:30 am in front of Sarasota Hospital, and all media outlets are invited to attend.

The Zelenko Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving public health by supporting medical research, advocacy, and education. The foundation's founder, Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, was a highly respected physician who has treated COVID-19 patients successfully with early intervention protocols.

We believe Sarasota Memorial Hospital, by implementing COVID-19 hospital protocols that were not evidence-based and potentially harmful, has engaged in reckless behavior thus conceivably endangering, injuring, or killing patients. Patients have reported being denied effective treatments such as Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, and other treatments, while being subjected to experimental therapies with unknown risks and benefits.

The Zelenko Foundation believes that Sarasota Memorial Hospital has violated the basic rights of patients to receive the best available medical care, and that an independent investigation is necessary to determine the full extent of the harm caused. The foundation also believes that Governor DeSantis should intervene to ensure that patients' rights are protected and that hospitals are held accountable for their actions.

Ann Vandersteel, Co-Chair of The Zelenko Foundation, said, "It is unacceptable that patients in Sarasota Memorial Hospital have been denied access to effective treatments that could have saved their lives. The Zelenko Foundation demands an independent investigation into the hospital's COVID-19 protocols to determine the extent of the harm caused and hold those responsible accountable. We urge Governor DeSantis to take action to protect the rights of patients and ensure that hospitals are held accountable for their actions."

If you are a doctor, nurse, hospital staff, patient, or loved one who has been a victim of the egregious actions taken by Sarasota Hospital, we welcome you to share your story at ExposeTheCoverup.com or email us at TellMyStory@ExposeTheCoverup.com.

The Zelenko Foundation is committed to ensuring that patients' voices are heard, and that justice is served.

Ms. Ann Vandersteel is the co-chair of the Zelenko Freedom Foundation. Prior to the Zelenko Foundation, Ann was the host of SteelTruthTM, and is considered a thought leader and trailblazer in "new media”. As the former President and co-host on YourVoice America, a popular conservative new media news and analysis show, Ann built her reputation as a trusted news source who respects the responsibility of delivering accurate news and analysis with consistency.

Government As the Bailout Solution Is the Path to Economic DeclineAuthor of Good Money Revolution: How to Make More Money to Do More Good

Clarity from Chaos guest: Mr. Derrick Kinney, author of Good Money Revolution: How to Make More Money to Do More Good. Derrick is CEO of Good Money Framework and host of the popular Good Money podcast.

The government is not the solution to all of our problems. In fact, relying too heavily on the government can lead to a lack of personal responsibility and a belief that someone else will take care of us. This mentality creates a cycle of dependency and limits opportunities for personal growth and success.

Let’s start with breaking the bail-out beliefs. One of the biggest misconceptions is the belief that the government will bail us out of our current and future problems. This outlook is not only unrealistic, but it also takes away our inherent power. Instead of waiting for a government handout, we should be taking steps to improve our own situations. This could mean starting a business, investing in our education or training, or saving for retirement. But having a bail-out belief only perpetuates the problem, as people become less responsible for their own lives and rely more on government assistance.

What about money? Money is not bad, and you should have more of it. Many people have a negative view of money, believing it is the root of all evil. But money is not bad and good people should have more of it. It’s a tool that can be used for good. By having more of it, we can improve our standard of living, invest in our future, and help others. It is important to remember that money is not the end goal, but it is a means to an end.

The emerging cultural idea that paints wealthy people as the villain and demands that the government redistribute wealth is misguided and short-sighted. Instead, the government should be a facilitator of economic growth and prosperity. Money is not a limited resource held captive by a select few. Countless rags-to-riches stories are woven into America’s fabric. While not easy, the odds are far better that with the right tools you have a better likelihood of creating wealth for yourself than the government does for you.

In order to break free from these bail-out beliefs, politics-induced pessimism, and the idea that money is bad, we must take personal responsibility for our own lives and strive for financial independence. We should focus on building our own wealth and creating our own opportunities.

Ultimately, the real problem is thinking that the government exists to solve our problems. While many people’s pasts are defined by dependence, their present and future can be built on independence. We must be responsible for our own well-being and strive for lives we believe are possible and economic prosperity. Only then can we truly achieve the American Dream and live the lives we deserve.

Good Money Revolution: How to Make More Money to Do More Good

~Insights and Analysis from Mark Burrell, Author of ‘Rediscovering the American Covenant~On this episode, Clarity from Chaos is please to welcome back, best selling author of, "Rediscovering the American Covenant - Roadmap to Restore America", Mr. Mark Burrell. Mark is going to be discussing the revival of faith across America, beginning with the recent Asbury Revival.

The Asbury Revival is something that has sparked a great deal of attention within the past few days. Viewed as a reconnection with the divine after a period of spiritual drought, "revival" goers witnessed a sudden and enthusiastic restoration of religious vigor at Asbury University in Kentucky. One of the cascading effects has been that congregations elsewhere in the United States are steadily joining the marathon worship that is primarily led by students.

Mark Burrell, author of Rediscovering the American Covenant: Roadmap to Restore America. The Declaration and Constitution foundations can be extracted empirically from the Bible, showing how they informed the founders' actions in 1776, thus establishing our national covenant.

BIO: Mark Burrell, author of Rediscovering the American Covenant: Roadmap to Restore America, is originally from Pennsylvania and grew up in the Episcopal Church where he accepted Christ as a teenager. He attended Penn State University and met his wife, Charlene, in 1980. They married in 1983 and moved to northeast Pennsylvania a year later where Mark began his career in the private sector. While living there they helped start several independent Bible churches that continue today.

In 1987 Mark developed a mentoring relationship with an experienced pastor and spent several years studying Systematic Theology. He began a teaching ministry in the early 1990’s covering a variety of topics, and in the late 90’s became interested in Biblical aspects of the American founding.

Clarity from Chaos guest: Mr. Rob Montz, co-founder and CEO of Good Kid Productions. His latest online documentary is The Broken Boys of Kenosha

We thought we knew everything about the shootings of Jacob Blake and the killings of Kyle Rittenhouse. We don't. This is what really happened.

Featuring: former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, Columbia University professor John McWhorter, former Daily Caller journalist Richie McGinniss, and Rundown Live host Kristan Harris.

During the summer of 2020, with COVID lockdowns and Black Lives Matter hysteria still ravaging the country, Kenosha, Wisconsin was ground zero for two separate mega-viral incidents. The national media descended, squeezed these twin tragedies for clicks and ratings, and then moved on.

We went back to Kenosha to expose the standard media narrative for what it is: mostly lies. And we found the truth, the real catastrophe connecting Blake and Rittenhouse that never made national headlines.

Rob Montz is the co-founder and CEO of Good Kid Productions. His online documentary work has attracted millions of views and coverage in the New York Times, the Washington Post, The Economist, USA Today, and The Megyn Kelly Show. He graduated from Brown University in 2005 with a degree in philosophy and precisely zero marketable skills. Somehow, he ended up living on a 50-acre farm in the Virginia woods with a wife and three children.

Clarity from Chaos guest: Mr. Robert H. Bork Jr. appearing on behalf of his father, with an updated version of The Antitrust Paradox By Judge Robert H. Bork. Bork Jr., currently serves as the President of the Antitrust Education Project.

The Dangers of Conservative ‘Antitrust Revival’

Since it first appeared in 1978, this seminal work by one of the foremost American legal minds of our age has dramatically changed the way the courts view government's role in private affairs. Now reissued with a new introduction and foreword, this classic shows how antitrust suits adversely affect the consumer by encouraging a costly form of protection for inefficient and uncompetitive small businesses. Robert Bork's view of antitrust law has had a profound impact on how the law has been both interpreted and applied. Lucid, highly readable, and full of rich social and political implications, The Antitrust Paradox illustrates how the purpose and integrity of law can be subverted by those who do not understand the reality law addresses or who seek to make it serve unintended political and social ends. It’s republication by his son comes at a critical moment when politicians on both the left and right want to weaponize antitrust law. Their proposals will destroy capitalism and innovation.

Clarity from Chaos guest Mr. Brent Hamachek, co-author of ZELENKO: How To Decapitate The Serpent. Hehas had his own business consulting practice since 2000. He is also the co-founder of Common Ground Campus, and a member of Human Events Media Group, parent company of Human Events and The Post Millennial. He earned a BS in Finance & Economics from Lake Superior State University; a post-graduate degree from the Graduate School of Banking at the University of Wisconsin, and he also did his master's studies in theology at Loyola University Chicago.

From the man who first discovered the effective treatment for COVID-19 and who found himself facing vilification instead of congratulation, now comes the complete story of Dr. Vladimir “Zev” Zelenko’s rise from a modest family physician to an internationally recognized champion for medical freedom. This final memoir gives the reader a chance to know Zev as a person as you journey with him through the COVID storm. He also makes his arguments as to why the COVID virus was manmade, why it was treatable from the outset, and why the “vaccine” should be avoided, especially by children.

Taken from over 60 hours of interviews and containing numerous research citations, this book reads like part biography, part research paper, and part thriller.

Vladimir Zelenko, MD, or "Zev," is a Nobel Peace Prize Nominee and, until his passing in June of 2022, was a board certified physician in the USA. Zev pioneered early treatment protocols for COVID-19 that have been credited with saving millions of lives. Zev leaves behind eight children and his wife Renat along with his legacy project the Zelenko Freedom Foundation, an organization devoted to innovative health technologies and treatments to help those willing, in his words, to decapitate the serpent.

CLARITY FROM CHAOS is pleased to welcome Ms. Stella Morabito, author of The Weaponization of Loneliness: How Tyrants Stoke Our Fear of Isolation to Silence, Divide, and Conquer

Do you keep your opinions to yourself because you’re afraid people will reject you? Do you sign on to a cause just because everyone around you acts like it’s the right thing to do? Are you part of the "Silent Majority."

Welcome to The Weaponization of Loneliness. Tyrants of all stripes want to tell you what to believe and how to live your life. They get away with it by using the most potent weapon at their disposal: your fear of ostracism.

This book explains how dictators—from the French Revolution to the Communist Party of China to today’s globalists—aim to atomize us in order to control us. We fall for it because our need to connect with others and our fear of social rejection are so hardwired that they trigger our conformity impulse. These dynamics can even cause us to comply with evil orders.

We all need a better understanding of how the merchants of loneliness—power elites in Big Tech, Big Media, Big Government, academia, Hollywood, and the corporate world— exploit our terror of social isolation. Their divide-and-conquer tactics include identity politics, political correctness, and mob agitation. Their media monopoly spawns the propaganda essential to demonization campaigns, censorship, cancel culture, snitch culture, struggle sessions, the criminalization of comedy, and the subversion of society’s most fundamental institutions. It all adds up to a machinery of loneliness. Ironically, people tend to comply with this machinery to avoid loneliness, but such compliance only isolates us further.

The Weaponization of Loneliness offers a message of hope. We can resist this psychological warfare if we have strong bonds in our families, faith communities, and friendships. Let’s resolve to talk to one another openly and often, especially about the consequences of giving in to social pressures and media hype. Indeed, totalitarians always seek to destroy private life because it is the very fount of freedom.

While everyone is looking up at the sky worrying about aliens - since our government doesn’t have a clue what these UFO’s are - the danger to America is much closer - right in the middle of our own Super Bowl! Here’s the good, the bad and the ugly:

1) The GOOD!

The best part of the Super Bowl was watching Eagles coach, Nick Sirianni cry during the National Anthem. He wasn’t afraid to show his love for America. This is the way it was after 9/11, when the National Anthem was played at lots of events - games, concerts, etc. - and Americans cried with love for their country. Since then, woke activists have taken over, destroying America one beloved tradition at a time!

https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2023/02/12/watch-eagles-coach-nick-sirianni-cries-during-national-anthem-before-super-bowl/

2) The BAD!

There is only one National Anthem, The Star Spangled Banner. More people would know this if it were sung in schools every day like it used to be. But, now, the Super Bowl, and sometimes other sporting events want to convince you that “Lift Every Voice and Sing” is our National Anthem - or at least that we have two National Anthems, dividing us even further.

https://www.foxnews.com/sports/black-national-anthem-super-bowl-stirs-debate-social-media

3) The UGLY!

Rihanna took the usual male crotch grabbing to another - much grosser level - by grabbing her crotch and butt and smelling her hand… and the audience went wild cheering her on. It’s bad enough that so many Americans have sunk to the level of thinking that this is cool entertainment, but not caring about the kids watching it is even worse. Of course, these are probably the same parents who think bringing kids to drag queen shows is harmless fun.

Ms. Janet Sanders, a Colorado businesswoman and her husband were terrorized, held captive, and nearly killed by machete-wielding, gun-toting thugs who destroyed their belongings, killed their dogs, and more in the formerly safe resort city of Puerto Vallarta, before they were able to escape back to the United States earlier this year.

In that city, the U.S. Treasury Department is pursuing the case of Sergio Armando Orozco Rodriguez, also known as Puerto Vallarta cartel kingpin “Chocho” who extorts businesses for protection money in his hometown and launders drug proceeds through ties to nightclubs and restaurants along the city’s picturesque boardwalk.

Ms. Sanders now runs a travel advisory site: https://mexiknowinfo.com that warns American travelers of the ongoing dangers and risks they will face while visiting Mexico.

Parents of students planning to ditch the books and hit the beaches of Mexico for spring break are being warned to change their vacation plans now and stop their kids from crossing the border due to major safety concerns.

As of last week, the U.S. State Department has issued its strongest possible “do not travel” warning for several Mexican states because of “crime and kidnapping”. Solo female travelers are especially advised to exercise increased caution in Mexico.

The popular tourist state of Quintana Roo once considered extremely safe, which includes Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, and Tulum, has been slapped with an “exercise increased caution” warning. 30 of Mexico’s 32 states have been flagged with warnings to travelers.

U.S. officials are warning that some resorts which had long been considered as being in safe areas are now being controlled by the Mexican drug cartels, who are not only selling drugs including deadly fentanyl to tourists but also using the resorts as money laundering facilities.

“There is a cartel presence in these resorts,” said Robert Almonte, a former U.S. Marshal in the western district of Texas.

Ask Janet Sanders about the very real dangers of traveling to Mexico for naïve spring breakers, why all U.S. vacationers but especially kids on spring break are particularly vulnerable in Mexico, and about her own harrowing story that has led her to oversee the travel danger website https://mexiknowinfo.com/while writing a book about her own experiences in Mexico.

Jennifer Sey was on track to become the first woman CEO of Levi Strauss & Co. As the President of the Levi's brand, she was widely celebrated as a versatile and inspirational leader who had helped save the iconic brand from bankruptcy. Formerly a self-described "left of left of center" progressive, she was beloved as the embodiment of the company's "profits through principles" ethos.

But everything changed when Sey publicly opposed the closure of San Francisco's public schools at the height of the pandemic. In response to her 'wrong-think,' management gave her a choice: shut up or leave. She decided that defending at-risk children was more important than the job that she loved, and so she resigned. After more than two decades at the company, she gave up her professional future to retain her voice.

In Levi's Unbuttoned, Sey recounts her remarkable journey from U.S. National Gymnastics champion through her rise the corporate ladder at Levi's. As the highest profile executive to fall victim to the cancel culture engulfing America, her story is an inspiration for all those who, in these difficult times, feel pressured to remain silent on their most fundamental beliefs.

The more Americans who stand up to "woke-ism," the better chance we have at creating a truly equitable and inclusive society. Principles and integrity matter. Ultimately, they matter more than anything else.

Ms. Sey, author of Levi's Unbuttoned: The Woke Mob Took My Job But Gave Me My Voice, is an American author, filmmaker, business executive and retired artistic gymnast. She was the 1986 USA Gymnastics National Champion, and a 7-time member of the U.S. Women’s National Team. Her first memoir, "Chalked Up," was released in 2008 and detailed the coaching cruelty inflicted on children in the sport of gymnastics. Sey also produced the 2020 Emmy award-winning documentary film, "Athlete A," which connected the crimes of Larry Nassar to broader abuses in the Olympic movement.

Sey began working at Levi Strauss & Co. in 1999, rising to Chief Marketing Officer and then Global Brand President. In January 2022, she was asked to resign because of her public opposition to the extended closure of San Francisco’s public schools.

A special Clarity from guest: Murray Sabrin, PhD, author of From Immigrant to Public Intellectual: An American Story.

The Biden administration is considering imposing nationwide rent control because rents have been rising faster than incomes over the past couple of years. Rising rents is another inevitable consequence of the Federal Reserve's super easy money policies that were implemented to stimulate the economy to deal with the Covid lockdowns in 2020.

Rent control has destroyed housing units in every city it was tried--New York City has been the poster child for "temporary" controls that were introduced in 1943. Once price controls are introduced they are hard to remove, even after they cause widespread economic harm. The solutions to high rents are straightforward .

More supply by removing barriers to construction of moderately priced apartments and ending the Fed's manipulation of interest rates. In time, supply and demand will be in balance and rents would come down especially in communities where the building restrictions have been the most draconian.

In my December 2021 Fortune essay I alluded to price controls coming to America because of accelerating inflation. Read Below!

Greene, has been a schoolteacher and administrator for more than 45 years and is the author of Please Teach Me Like I'm a Boy! Ten Steps to His Success in School and in Life. Dr. Greene is the Executive of the Boys Initiative. Boys are in crisis and continue to fall behind girls in academics and readiness for college or careers. Boys learn differently, and educators must be willing to change instructional methods to meet their learning and developmental needs. Otherwise, many young men will continue to fail in school and, subsequently, in life. This book sheds light on the issue through the eyes and experiences of Zachary, an eight-year-old boy who is anxiously anticipating going to the next grade. Encouraged by his parents, he writes a letter to his new teacher, asking for her help to make his next school year better than his last. While introducing the concept of brain-based gender differences, this primer offers educators more than 150 researched-based strategies and practical ideas that will help boys (and girls!) achieve more academically, socially, and morally.

Please Teach Me Like I'm a Boy!: Ten steps to his success in school and in life

Clarity from Chaos guest: Dr. Stephen Soloway, author of Medical Politics: How to Protect Yourself from Bad Doctors, Insurance Companies, and Big Government

Legislation written by drug and insurance companies, malpractice by corrupt and incompetent doctors, misguided and dishonest medical policy—the reality may be worse than you feared, and Medical Politics exposes all the secrets of a dirty American health care industry.

Written by Stephen Soloway, one of America’s top rheumatologists and a former appointee to Donald Trump’s President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, this expose provides an inside look at how medical decisions are lobbied and money influences policy at the highest levels, explains how recent and upcoming medical policies will affect common Americans, and gives recommendations for a better American medical system.

Featuring the author's personal letters to dirty insurance companies and other figures in the industry, Medical Politics takes readers inside Dr. Soloway's fight against Big Pharma and Big Insurance in search of better care for his patients. The result is shocking indictment of the American medical system from an insider--and charts a path for Americans to better advocate for themselves.

Dr. Soloway’s devotion to patient’s needs have earned him Top Doctor Awards every year since 2003 and he is regarded as one of the leaders in the Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Delaware area for Rheumatologic care.

Clarity from Chaos guest Ms. Christina Bobb, author of Stealing Your Vote: The Inside Story of the 2020 Election and What It Means for 2024.

How Election Fraud Is Rampant, and How to Stop It before It Kills America

The mainstream media has labeled it "The Big Lie," but the facts on the ground tell a very different story. While politicians on both sides of the aisle scramble to stifle all investigations into election fraud, and the mainstream media pumps out "nothing to see here" stories, investigative reporter Christina Bobb reveals the ugly truth: the 2020 election was riddled with lying, cheating, stealing, and vote dumping which disenfranchised millions of Americans and probably swayed the outcome of the election. As usual, the cover-up was even worse than the crime, as politicians, media and activists launched an all-out assault on facts and evidence, doing everything in their power to bury the truth and slander anyone who dared ask the inconvenient questions.

Stealing Your Vote tells the story of corruption within the Democratic Party—but also reveals the cowardice throughout the Republican Party, as fat and happy politicians from both parties desperately worked to protect the status quo. Bobb also tells the story of a handful of brave patriots who tried, and continue trying, to find out just what happened in 2020.

As we look forward to 2024, we face an unprecedented crisis: millions of Americans have now lost faith in the integrity of our elections. The country has become ever-more polarized, pitting those who believe the election was stolen versus those who are determined to cancel both the investigations and the doubters. But election integrity should not be a partisan issue. Fair and honest elections are the bedrock of our republic—while tainted elections are the hallmark of tyranny. If we fail to regain election integrity and the trust of the American people, all of us, Democrat and Republican, liberal and conservative, are doomed to a dark future.

Christina Bobb's Stealing Your Vote is the first and only investigative report into what truly happened in the 2020 elections and the cover-up that followed, and what we must do now as our next presidential election approaches.

How the Pentagon’s top-brass generals burned the careers of subordinates but then pivoted to lucrative careers all while losing the wars they were supposed to be winning

The new book, A Few Bad Men, details the mendacity and mad dishonesty of retired Marine General James “Mad Dog” Mattis. The fact that it was written by a Marine once under his command, whom he betrayed for the sake of politics and getting to slap on another star, says volumes about this once-lionized figure.

It all goes back to an incident in Afghanistan in 2007, and the Court of Inquiry trial of innocent Marines that followed, which Mattis himself instigated.

Lt. Colonel Steve Morgan, USMC (retired) and jury member of the 2008 Marine Special Operations Command’s Court of Inquiry says in the foreword to A Few Bad Men, “This is a case of a perfect storm of toxic leadership.”

The most legendary Marine of all time, Lieutenant General John A. Lejeune, the 13th commandant of the Marine Corps, laid out clearly how to effectively nurture and lead Marines: “Make every effort by means of historical, educational, and patriotic addresses to cultivate in their hearts a deep abiding love of the Corps and Country” and “the key to combat effectiveness is unity and esprit that characterizes itself in complete irrevocable mutual trust.”

On February 3, 2005, when Lieutenant General Mattis was attending the Armed Forces Communications and Electronic Associations forum in San Diego, he said: “You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn’t wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain’t got no manhood left anyway. So it’s a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. It’s fun to shoot some people. I’ll be right up there with you. I like brawling.” He also likes hearing the sound of his own voice.

During this same time, Mattis partnered with General David Petraeus to develop the joint counterinsurgency doctrine of winning hearts and minds. Mattis hijacked the phrase from the Hippocratic oath for his Marines to follow, “First do no harm.” This sounded good to the media and politicians in Washington, but Marines are not physicians and Afghanistan was no sterile operating room. It was a hellscape in which Marines constantly faced threats and the possibility of betrayal from 360 degrees. Mattis’ Marine Hippocratic oath sent mixed signals for his Marines, who had it on his good authority that “It’s a hell of a lot of fun to shoot . . . some people.”

Just over two years later, I led the First Marine Special Operations Task Force. We landed in Afghanistan on February 12, 2007. Before long the First was involved in a complex ambush near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, on March 4, 2007. We were attacked by a suicide car-bomb, waves of Taliban fighters on both sides of the road, a sniper, and a mob that placed an obstacle to trap us in an ambush kill box. We successfully counterattacked, killed the Taliban terrorists, avoided civilian casualties, and returned to base within 20 minutes, where we learned of the Taliban’s swift information operations campaign that was already underway, accusing us of mass-murdering Afghan civilians. The Taliban’s version of events went out within 20 minutes through the BBC followed by countless others. Ultimately, the president of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai, condemned our actions and the Army generals kicked us out of Afghanistan within five days. Crushing the Taliban in battle morphed into a PR victory for the extremists in the medi

One cannot understand the full intent behind the American founding unless they understand the biblical principles that informed it...

Clarity from Chaos guest: Mr. Mark Burrell, author of Rediscovering the American Covenant: Roadmap to Restore America

America is in decline. What is the cause, and what must be done to re-establish our founding principles? Nothing in print today clearly answers these questions from a biblical standpoint. Until now.

Mark Burrell's Rediscovering the American Covenant provides fresh light on biblical principles for civil government and the citizenship duty all Christians have in the communities in which they live. These principles are extracted empirically from the Bible, showing how they informed the actions of the founders in 1776, thus establishing our national covenant. The simple, yet critical blueprint they followed is described—the same blueprint needed today to restore America’s founding principles. The author concludes with a call to action for Christians and the church, to rediscover the American covenant and fulfill the citizenship duty we have as Christians.

A roadmap makes this content actionable. All the opposing arguments aimed to dimmish America are addressed, some in fresh ways. Given the breadth of the material, full 2-page illustrations are used to set the tone for each chapter. Additional illustrations draw the reader in and help connect concepts to the active citizenship duty Christians have. A 2-page theological monograph is also included, incorporating key governing principles.

The aim of this book is to present a thorough biblical argument for:

Active citizenship as a vital part of the Christian faith (including sharing the Gospel).
How this duty informed the actions of the founders as they codified and declared our American national covenant.
Steps for Christians to re-engage politically, to restore their local community and America to a God honoring nation.

PLUG BOOK: Rediscovering the American Covenant: Roadmap to Restore America

Mr. Mark Burrell, author of Rediscovering the American Covenant: Roadmap to Restore America, is originally from Pennsylvania and grew up in the Episcopal Church where he accepted Christ as a teenager. He attended Penn State University and met his wife, Charlene, in 1980. They married in 1983 and moved to northeast Pennsylvania a year later where Mark began his career in the private sector. While living there they helped start several independent Bible churches that continue today.

In 1987 Mark developed a mentoring relationship with an experienced pastor and spent several years studying Sy

Dr. Harlan Ullman, author of the new book, The Fifth Horseman and the New MAD: How Massive Attacks of Disruption Became the Looming Existential Danger to a Divided Nation and the World at Large. Ullman is a Senior Adviser to the Atlantic Council.

The new MAD, Massive Attacks of Disruption—and not China or Russia—are the most immediate and greatest dangers to the nation. But no one has recognized and thus acted to contain and prevent these potentially existential threats that, if left unchecked, will bring ruin to America and much of the planet.

Beyond traditional threats from states such as China and Russia and non-state actors employing violent extremism, can America’s politics and political system withstand the assaults of the Fifth Horseman and the new MAD, Massive Attacks of Disruption? The Covid-19 pandemic, the January 6 insurrection and takeover of the US Capitol, SolarWinds cyber-attacks, the Texas storms that cut power, and the blocking of the Suez Canal are harbingers of the new MAD. And the nation is unaware and unprepared to deal with them.

What must be done? First, we must recognize the potentially existential dangers posed by MAD. Second, we must reorganize government to meet these dangers. Third, we need new national security strategies to protect, defend, and mitigate these new threats. Fourth, we must create a private-public partnership in a national re-investment fund that can redress many of the risks of MAD.

In this transformative and highly innovative and provocative book, Dr. Harlan Ullman issues a dramatic warning about so far unrecognized existential dangers to the nation and offers a plan of action America must take if the Fifth Horseman and the new MAD are to be tamed or broken.

A call for the separation of race and state, backed by a deep dive into the surreal world of racial classification in America...

Clarity from Chaos guest: David E. Bernstein, author of Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America

Americans are understandably squeamish about official racial and ethnic classifications. Nevertheless, they are ubiquitous in American life. Applying for a job, mortgage, university admission, citizenship, government contracts, and much more involves checking a box stating whether one is Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, or Native American.

While reviewing the surprising history of American racial classifications, Classified raises questions about the classifications’ coherence, logic, and fairness; for example:

• Should Pakistani, Chinese, and Filipino Americans be in the same category despite their obvious differences in culture, appearance, religion, and more?

• Why does the government not allow Americans to classify themselves as bi- or multi-racial?

• How did the government decide that a dark-complexioned, burka-wearing Muslim Yemini should be classified as generically white, but a blond-haired, blue-eyed immigrant from Spain should be classified as Hispanic and treated as a member of a minority group?

• Why does the government require biomedical researchers to classify study participants by the official racial categories, when the classifications have no scientific basis?

In an increasingly diverse society with high rates of intergroup marriage, the American system of racial classification is getting even more arbitrary and absurd. With rising ethno-nationalism threatening democracy around the world, it’s also dangerous. Classified argues that the time has come to consider abolishing official racial classification and replace it with the separation of race and state.

David E. Bernstein holds a University Professorship chair at the Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University, where he has been teaching since 1995. He has also been a visiting professor at the University of Michigan, Georgetown University, William & Mary, Brooklyn Law School, and the University of Turin.

Known as a fearless contrarian, Professor Bernstein often challenges the conventional wisdom with prodigious research and sharp, original analysis. His book Rehabilitating Lochner was praised across the political spectrum as “intellectual history in its highest form,” a “fresh perspective and a cogent analysis,” “delightful and informative,” “sharp and iconoclastic,” “well-written and destined to be influential,” and “a terrific work of historical revisionism.” Professor Bernstein blogs at the Volokh Conspiracy (the leading law professor blog) and at Instapundit.com. Professor Bernstein is a graduate of the Yale Law School, where he was senior editor of the Yale Law Journal and a John M. Olin Fellow in Law, Economics, and Public Policy.

Professor Bernstein is married and has three children of mixed Eastern European, Middle Eastern, and Spanish-Jewish origin. He prefers not to classify them.

Why America Matters confronts the most challenging questions facing the nation today…and points the way towards an American Renaissance...

Why America Matters: The Case for a New Exceptionalism

By

Michael Wilkerson

Clarity from Chaos guest: Mr. Michael Wilkerson, author of Why America Matters: The Case for a New Exceptionalism.

As seen on Mornings with Maria on Fox Business.

Who are we? Where are we going? And why are we so divided? Why America Matters addresses these questions and argues that the place Americans call home is worth fighting for. The widely held belief of past generations—that America is special, with an extraordinary role to play in the world—remains true, but has been undermined by external adversaries, internal contradictions, and weakness of vision.

Why America Matters reveals how the nation faces four crises: extraordinary circumstances, confused identity, corrupt institutions, and inept policy engagement. The idea of America is under attack, yet many of our wounds are self-inflicted. Powerful forces within our country—hostile to the ideals of America—seem to be winning. These agents seek to rewrite America’s history, undermine its institutions, and silence those who don’t agree. All the while, America’s foreign adversaries prey on our divisions and weaknesses.

America is neither declining nor dying, but in a winter season. Our current political and social crises represent fertile ground for national springtime and renewal, a process the nation has gone through before. While the country has never been more divided on partisan, cultural, and ideological lines, there is a path to achieve the unity and vigor necessary to confront the twenty-first century’s challenges. Americans must recognize and reject false ideologies; resist surveillance and tyranny; take back our communities, schools, and families; and assert our enshrined rights to free speech and privacy.

The world recognized that America was great because America was good. America’s founding ideals, timeless values, and distinctive national character are needed now more than ever. But we can’t simply go back to the past. A new century requires a new vision of American greatness. Why America Matters points the way.

THE BOOK THAT PREDICTED THE MIDTERM HOAX...

Clarity from Chaos guests: Mr. Gregory Stenstrom and Ms. Leah Hoopes are the best selling authors of Parallel Election: A Blueprint for Deception.

Read the Book That Unequivocally Proves How the 2020 Election was Stolen in Pennsylvania

Despite the mainstream media trying to gaslight the American public into believing there was no election fraud in 2020, a recent poll by Rasmussen and The National Pulse revealed that 52% of Likely U.S. voters believe it is at least somewhat likely that cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election and 50% of voters believe it is somewhat likely there will be widespread cheating that will affect the outcome of this fall’s congressional elections.

We must restore the public’s faith in our electoral process but to do this there must be a full litigation of the fraud perpetrated in 2020 and measures must be taken to rectify that this fraud cannot be repeated in future elections.

And therefore, despite the legal threats and bullying and intimidation tactics from the Pennsylvania political machine, Stenstrom and Hoopes have decided to tell their remarkable story, for the first time, in their new book Parallel Election: Blueprint for Deception. Ever since Delaware County residents Gregory Stenstrom and Leah Hoopes witnessed the massive election fraud perpetrated in their home county on November 3rd, 2020, they have made it their mission to expose the fraud and bring the perpetrators to justice.

Because everything in the book is 100% accurate, the Pennsylvania political machine is resorting to unprecedented measures to prevent the publication of this book. Ever since Stenstrom and Hoopes testified at the Gettysburg hearing on November 26th, 2020, they have been working through the system to obtain justice, but this has not worked.

This is why they have decided to write this book. Only when the truth is made available to the public, can we begin to fix our election system. The public must know what happened so they can demand change.

What makes this book so important is the “Parallel Election” that was orchestrated in Delaware County, PA was replicated in the eight other swing states.

Gregory Stenstrom is Co-Founder of Patriot.Online, a digital privacy ecosystem and social media platform. He is a technology leader and data scientist who has been CEO, CTO, and CIO for multiple corporations. He has extensive experience in computer sciences, security, and fraud investigations, and an industry reputation as a formidable problem solver who distills complexity into actionable simplicity. A former US Naval Officer, he served as a Surface Warfare Officer, and in Commanding and Executive Officer roles for Special Warfare and Special Operations. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD.

Leah Hoopes is a small business owner, and Republican Committeewoman for Bethel Township in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. She previously worked as a licensed physical therapy assistant. As a Krav Maga instructor and practitioner, she devotes substantial time to training women in self-defense both physically, and emotionally. She has become increasingly well-known as a highly effective political activist, who develops strategic and tactical political action plans, and recruits experts and advocates to execute those plans. She holds Associate of Arts in Criminal Justice from Delaware Community College and Associates of Science in Physical Therapy from Harcum College.

The Big Lie About Domestic Abuse…A discussion with Dr. E. Edward Bartlett

Clarity from Chaos Guest: Edward Bartlett, the President and Founder of the Coalition to End Domestic Violence.

All the research shows that women are just as likely, or even more likely, than men to engage in domestic violence!

For example, a compilation of over 300 scholarly investigations in 40 countries around the world concluded that “women are as physically aggressive as men (or more) in their relationships with their spouses.”

In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control reports that each year, there are over 4 million male victims of domestic violence, compared to only 3.5 million female victims of domestic violence.

And what’s really interesting is that women in same-sex, lesbian relationships are at far greater risk of becoming victims of domestic violence, compared to women in heterosexual relationships.

Despite this fact, domestic violence laws in the United States and elsewhere usually refer to domestic violence victims as “women and girls” – no mention of “men and boys.”

This myth fosters harmful stereotypes of men that serve to:

• Block male victims from getting help,

• Cause false arrests of male victims, and

• Marginalize fathers from their own children.

So what the heck is going on???

Like many issues in our society, the answer is ideology – Marxist ideology, to be exact.

That’s because Marxists believe that the traditional family is “oppressive” to women. They don’t really say why families are oppressive to women – in fact, lots and lots of studies show men and women who are married live longer and are generally happier.

But again, this is a matter of ideology, not science. So gender activists are working night and day to weaken and destroy the family by trying to marginalize fathers.

And obviously, if there’s no father, you don’t have a nuclear family!

Which explains the Big Lie that domestic violence is all about men abusing their wives and girlfriends. As a result of this myth, women think twice about getting married. And in the event of a divorce, they may try to block the father’s connection with their children.

So that’s how Marxist ideology is driving public policy about domestic violence and tearing apart our families.

BIO: Bartlett serves as the Founder of the Coalition. He received his PhD from Johns Hopkins University. Former faculty member at three universities, and former federal regulator at the Department of Health and Human Services. Author of over 100 peer-reviewed articles and editorials. Proud father of three and an avid bicyclist.

ABOUT: Domestic violence is a serious problem that knows no boundaries of sex, economic status, or education. The Coalition to End Domestic Violence (CEDV) is a broad-based network of concerned groups and individuals committed to finding substantive solutions to stop domestic violence in the United States.

Interview with author Richard Battle

Mr. Richard V. Battle, a fifth generation Texan, is a longtime Lone Star state business and community leader and award-winning author. His latest book is Made in America By AmeriCANS Not AmeriCANTS.

Award-winning author and frequent media guest Richard Battle has been through a lot of election cycles, but he says this midterm is shaping up to be the most combative in his memory. "My name is Battle, and this is shaping up to be a battle at the polls!"

Richard points to:

-President Biden’s doomsday speech Wednesday where he spoke about “threats to democracy” and warning of “political violence”

-Hilary Clinton’s frequent criticisms of “G.O.P. Election Deniers on CNN and MSNBC

“…and that’s just the tip of the iceberg”, says Battle, author of nine books including his latest “Made In America by America-CANS, not Ameri-CAN’TS”. "The rhetoric needs to be dialed way back, and that's coming from a guy whose name literally is BATTLE!"

So, how does Battle suggest we do something about the gloves-off craziness of the mid-term election battle?

“Have thick skin. You're almost through the worst of the rhetoric in these ads and speeches. Then, on Tuesday if not sooner…vote. Just do it. It matters. Don't get caught up in the urge to tune out all the noise. Apathy is what got us the choices we have now in our political leaders. Voting, and engaging, is one of the hallmarks of U.S. citizenship", says Battle. "Look how close some elections have become; sometimes they're decided by a razor-thin margin, especially in local and state races. It’s critical, and it matters. Those local and state races are where the things that affect you directly, like crime, inflation, taxes, and immigration policy have a direct impact on how you and your family live your lives. Make the best choices you can, then hold the politicians accountable. It’s our duty as Americans to take this seriously; don’t give up your most powerful weapon in the battle” says Battle.

Interview with Dr. Ivan Eland

Dr. Ivan Eland is Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute and Director of the Institute’s Center on Peace & Liberty. He is author of War and the Rogue Presidency: Restoring the Republic after Congressional Failure.

The Office of the President of the U.S. isn’t what it used to be—it has morphed into an overgrown beast. So says presidential scholar Ivan Eland in his landmark new book War and the Rogue Presidency: Restoring the Republic after Congressional Failure.

The presidency no longer simply enforces the laws passed by Congress but literally dominates American political life. Its vast bureaucracy is flush with cash and wields powers never authorized by the Framers. But who do we have to thank for this distortion of the Constitution? Congress.

The presidency, says Eland, isn’t inherently imperial. It’s contingently imperial. Particularly when wars loom and Congress refuses to forestall our engagement in them—with inevitable consequences. Armed conflict bloats armies and emboldens the commanders-in-chief who wield them. Presidents, for instance, now unilaterally start wars and kill Americans (and others) overseas without due process.

But wars also lead to massive domestic government interference. Income tax, estate tax, gas taxes, the IRS, public housing, rent control, inflationary money printing, financial bailouts—all have their origins in wartime

The solution is clear. Congress, says Eland, simply must refuse to fund the undeclared wars presidents seem bent on waging. Yet to do that Congress must first implement reforms detailed in this book: weaken the committee structure; eliminate the seniority system, outlaw covert destabilization of foreign governments, and back federal courts seeking to limit the national security state—and many more.

In sum, liberals, conservatives, independents—anybody concerned for personal liberties and good governance—should read this pathbreaking book and grapple with its implications. For they are wide-ranging and entail staggering consequences for a free people.

Ivan Eland is Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute and Director of the Institute’s Center on Peace & Liberty. He is author of War and the Rogue Presidency: Restoring the Republic after Congressional Failure.

POWERHOUSE CEO NEUTRALIZES THE WOKING DEAD IN NEW SURVIVAL HANDBOOK

Today, Washington D.C.: Only five days after its release, The Woking Dead: How Society's Vogue Virus Destroys Our Culture, rose to #1 Amazon New Release across multiple categories.

Renowned public relations specialist, brand manager, and auteur media influencer A.J. Rice has authored what many are calling the must-have handbook for conservatives to neutralize the looming horde of woke ghouls claiming the minds of our society.

The Washington Times says, “There’s some intriguing reading to be had in a new book by A.J. Rice, an almost legendary producer in the talk radio realm... it is a precise, but rollicking read targeting left-leaning influence in America.”

With 10 different sections and multiple entries per section, Rice builds the case and engages the reader in a no-holds-barred view of the mind-snatching menace known as woke culture. With 97 hilarious and insightful vignettes readers will learn why Joe Biden is an American Meat Puppet and find out whether cancel culture has an expiration date. Readers will discover whether Donald Trump is a counter-culture icon, why Kobe Bryant was the last unwoke NBA athlete, and go searching for comedy in the Marxist world. Rice’s innate ability to recognize – and point out – the venomous vogue virus that is poisoning our nation is uncanny. More than that, Rice adeptly provides the cure America so desperately needs.

Fox News Host and #1 New York Times bestselling author, Laura Ingraham, says “At last, my former radio executive producer A.J. Rice, unleashes a must-read takedown of the cultural and political forces rampaging across America – and a sharp, incisive primer on how we can defeat them.”

“Having worked with A.J. Rice on many of my own projects, I know him to be astute, no-nonsense, and on point,” says Judge Jeanine Pirro, co-host of Fox News Channel’s The Five, and #1 New York Times bestselling author. “Stop what you’re doing right now and pick up a copy of The Woking Dead!"

Magnate Eric Finman, the youngest bitcoin millionaire in the world, tweeted about the book last week: “Debuting today! The new book from The Impresario of MAGA Media, A. J. Rice!”

In less than a week, Rice’s survival guide rapidly ascended to #1 new release status across multiple categories on Amazon, and also found itself labeled “Books with Buzz,” with 5/5 star ratings.

“The culture war is on, and the other side is playing for keeps. Stale and clueless politicians are ill-equipped to fight this war. In The Woking Dead, my friend A.J. Rice proves himself to be the answer to the left’s attack on America’s culture,” stated Chris Salcedo, host of Newsmax TV’s The Chris Salcedo Show.

The former executive producer for a number of today’s most celebrated personalities and CEO of premier communications firm Publius PR based out of Washington D.C., Rice is a columnist for over twenty-five national media outlets including The Hill, Epoch Times, Newsmax, and Investor’s Business Daily.

“The Woking Dead are among us and have been for decades – diligently setting the stage for the systematic destruction of our Western way of life,” points out Jesse Kelly, host of I'm Right on TheFirstTV & The Jesse Kelly Show on Premiere Networks. “Conservative insider A.J. Rice exposes the players, their agenda, and how they've been using academia to build an army of anti-American, group-think zombies, in this must-read book.”

By Major Fred Galvin (USMC-Ret)

My new book, A Few Bad Men, details the mendacity and mad dishonesty of retired Marine General James “Mad Dog” Mattis. The fact that it was written by a Marine once under his command, whom he betrayed for the sake of politics and getting to slap on another star, says volumes about this once-lionized figure.

It all goes back to an incident in Afghanistan in 2007, and the Court of Inquiry trial of innocent Marines that followed, which Mattis himself instigated.

Lt. Colonel Steve Morgan, USMC (retired) and jury member of the 2008 Marine Special Operations Command’s Court of Inquiry says in the foreword to A Few Bad Men, “This is a case of a perfect storm of toxic leadership.”

The most legendary Marine of all time, Lieutenant General John A. Lejeune, the 13th commandant of the Marine Corps, laid out clearly how to effectively nurture and lead Marines: “Make every effort by means of historical, educational, and patriotic addresses to cultivate in their hearts a deep abiding love of the Corps and Country” and “the key to combat effectiveness is unity and esprit that characterizes itself in complete irrevocable mutual trust.”

If only General Mattis had taken this to heart.

On February 3, 2005, when Lieutenant General Mattis was attending the Armed Forces Communications and Electronic Associations forum in San Diego, he said: “You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn’t wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain’t got no manhood left anyway. So it’s a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. It’s fun to shoot some people. I’ll be right up there with you. I like brawling.”

He also likes hearing the sound of his own voice.

During this same time, Mattis partnered with General David Petraeus to develop the joint counterinsurgency doctrine of winning hearts and minds. Mattis hijacked the phrase from the Hippocratic oath for his Marines to follow, “First do no harm.” This sounded good to the media and politicians in Washington, but Marines are not physicians and Afghanistan was no sterile operating room. It was a hellscape in which Marines constantly faced threats and the possibility of betrayal from 360 degrees. Mattis’ Marine Hippocratic oath sent mixed signals for his Marines, who had it on his good authority that “It’s a hell of a lot of fun to shoot . . . some people.”

Just over two years later, I led the First Marine Special Operations Task Force. We landed in Afghanistan on February 12, 2007. Before long the First was involved in a complex ambush near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, on March 4, 2007. We were attacked by a suicide car-bomb, waves of Taliban fighters on both sides of the road, a sniper, and a mob that placed an obstacle to trap us in an ambush kill box. We successfully counterattacked, killed the Taliban terrorists, avoided civilian casualties, and returned to base within 20 minutes, where we learned of the Taliban’s swift information operations campaign that was already underway, accusing us of mass-murdering Afghan civilians. The Taliban’s version of events went out within 20 minutes through the BBC followed by countless others. Ultimately, the president of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai, condemned our actions and the Army generals kicked us out of Afghanistan within five days. Crushing the Taliban in battle morphed into a PR victory for the extremists in the media and a weakening of the allied forces in country. Due process went right out the window.

Ironically, Mattis was assigned as the convening authority by the commandant of the Marine Corps in August 2007, to be responsible for the investigation and a Court of Inquiry into our March 4 battle. Mattis received the results of my polygraph test and the sworn testimony of all the Marines involved in the firefight, confirming that on that morning no Marines said they killed any civilians or saw any civilians killed.

Unlike Lejeune’s comments of “cultivating a deep abiding love of Country and Corps in the hearts of your Marines and that the key to combat effectiveness is unity and esprit that characterizes itself in complete irrevocable mutual trust,” Mattis unleashed an unprecedented 45 criminal investigators and four prosecuting attorneys against the seven Marines falsely accused by the Taliban of mass murder. It would become the longest war crimes trial in Marine Corps history.

Mattis placed a “protective order” (a.k.a. gag order) prohibiting the two Marine officers who he named as codefendants from making any statements to the press or face punishment. Our attorneys would face disbarment. The already unlevel playing field was tilted hard against the Marines who had won a battlefield victory under fire.

Additionally, Mattis’ prosecution team found perceived vulnerabilities in the Marine commandos and commenced “ethnic targeting” of two Hispanic Marines. Mad Dog’s prosecutors continuously interrogated one of them, and the government manufactured a statement from him that our fire was out of control during the March 4 ambush.

The prosecution then threatened to deport the Marine’s mother back to Mexico unless he signed the statement. That Marine testified he was coerced into signing the prosecution’s false statement. Another Hispanic Marine also testified he was repeatedly threatened by the prosecution to take a polygraph, which was not a legal order, but the prosecution ordered him to anyway. None of the other Marines were subjected to these strongarm Gestapo tactics.

Mattis turned the prosecution over to his successor in the fall of 2007 as he received his promotion with a fourth star. The following year, the trial acquitted all of us. No thanks to Mad Dog Mattis. He got his star. A few bad prosecutors under his watch cost the Marines a few good men, and diminished America’s position in Afghanistan at a time when that war might still have been won.

Mattis went on to serve as the commander of all U.S. Forces in the Middle East at U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Florida. As I detail in A Few Bad Men, there he came under the influence of Elizabeth Holmes, founder and CEO of Theranos. Holmes had a device she claimed could detect all kinds of disease in a few drops of blood. It would change the world, if it worked. Holmes contacted Mattis in August 2012 and wrote Pentagon officials requesting, “How do we overcome this new obstacle? I have tried to get this device tested in theater asap, legally and ethically. This appears to be relatively straight-forward yet we’re a year into this and not yet deployed.”

The main problem Mattis was willing to overlook was that the FDA had not approved Theranos’ blood testing technology to be used on our troops in Afghanistan, but Mattis was hoping he could push it through, right or wrong.

Mattis retired and went on to make a fortune serving on four corporate boards, including Theranos and military contractor General Dynamics. Theranos’ technology would not only be denied FDA approval, but it was proven to be a fraud. During the Elizabeth Holmes trial, Mattis, who had served as a Theranos board member for several years, testified that he was unaware of any of Theranos’ scandalous actions. This seems unlikely, given Mad Dog’s legendary tenacity, and the fact that he had a fiduciary duty to know what was going on.

Holmes’ device never worked. She is now a convicted fraudster. Was Mattis her gullible mark or a greedy participant?

Mattis’ disgraceful actions are laid bare in A Few Bad Men. He used his position as secretary of defense to bottle up the Freedom of Information Act requests to get our testimony in that March 4, 2007 ambush exposed. Our shocking testimonies have now been released and tell a terrible story of betrayal by a Marine against other Marines. They reveal why the Pentagon’s top-brass generals who burned the careers of subordinates but then pivoted to lucrative careers with every defense contracting company lost their forever war in Afghanistan, and really, haven’t won a war in decades.

The Bodies of Others is about how we came to the harrowing civilizational crossroads at which we find ourselves - engaged in a war against vast impersonal forces with limitless power over our lives and which threaten the freedoms we have always taken for granted.

In her most provocative book yet, Dr. Naomi Wolf shows how these forces -- from Big Tech and Big Pharma to the CCP and our oligarchical elites -- seized upon two years of COVID-19 panic in sinister new ways, to not only undermine our Republic but to fundamentally reorient human relations.

Their target is humanity itself. Their end goal is to ensure that our pre-March 2020 world is gone forever. Irretrievable. To be replaced with a world in which all human endeavor-all human joy, all human fellowship, all human advancement, all human culture, all human song, all human drama, all worship, all surprise, all flirtation, all celebration-is behind a digital paywall. A world in which we will all have to ask technology's permission to be human.

But we, the people of the world, did not vote to abandon our old systems and destroy our old ways so absolutely they could never be recovered. And Wolf shows how, against overwhelming odds, we still might win.

"Banning Guns Won’t Stop Mass Shooters, Better Parenting Will!”

America has been rocked by another horrific mass shooting. Robert ‘Bobby’ Crimo III, 22 years old, stood on the roof of a store and opened fire on a crowd below during a 4th of July parade.

Crimo, the murderer, was an amateur rapper, who had posted sinister rap videos glamorizing classroom shootings. He was a loner, who lived in an apartment behind his parents’ house and was still unemployed after losing his job at Panera after the lockdowns.

Democrats are already busy blaming guns, and calling for red flaws that failed to stop the latest mass murderer.

Crimo displayed abundant signs of being a dangerous and violent murderer, but no one paid attention to these clues! No ban on guns would've stopped him, but better parenting would have.

Clarity from Chaos Guest: : Paul Manafort, author of: Political Prisoner: Persecuted, Prosecuted, but Not Silenced. As campaign chairman for Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, Paul put into place the structure that delivered the nomination and eventually the general election for Donald J. Trump.

A riveting account of the HOAX that sent a presidential campaign chairman to solitary confinement because he wouldn’t turn against the President of the United States.

The chief weapon deployed by the government-corporate-media Establishment against the Trump presidency was propaganda. Time and again, allegations from anonymous sources were disseminated by a partisan media, promoted by a dishonest Democrat Party leadership, and ultimately debunked when the facts surfaced. But by the time the truth came out, it was too late. There had already been casualties.

One of the highest profile casualties was Paul Manafort.

Desperate to defeat Donald Trump—or hamper his presidency after he won—Democrats and their Establishment allies colluded with foreign operatives to concoct a completely false narrative about Paul’s supposed conspiracy with pro-Russian elements in Ukraine to further Vladimir Putin’s efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election. But it wasn’t just defamation of Paul’s character. They took the unprecedented step of enlisting the US intelligence and law enforcement communities in using their power against President Trump and his campaign team.

Political Prisoner finally exposes the lies left unchallenged by media who pronounced Paul guilty long before his case ever saw the inside of a courtroom. Not only is it untrue that Victor Yanukovych or any of Paul’s clients were “pro-Putin,” it is the opposite of the truth. Paul’s work in Ukraine and throughout his career was 100 percent aligned with US interests in the countries he worked in, sometimes even acting as a back channel for the White House itself.

Neither was Paul guilty of laundering money, evading taxes, or deliberately deceiving the US government by failing to register as a foreign agent—which he wasn’t. These were all politically motivated charges manufactured by the Special Counsel’s team for one reason and one reason only: to get Paul to testify against Donald Trump about a conspiracy that never existed. When they hear the basis of these spurious charges, Americans will wonder what country they are living in and what has happened to our system of justice.

Political Prisoner tells the real story of Paul’s life and career, exploding the lies about his work in Ukraine, his previous work with foreign governments and business interests in other countries, his involvement with the Trump campaign, and the “process crimes” for which he was wrongly convicted and sent to prison. It is no exaggeration to say that everything most Americans think they know about Paul Manafort is false.

Judge Andrew Gould, is a former Justice on the Arizona Supreme Court and current candidate for Arizona Attorney General.

Back in May, candidate for Arizona Attorney General Judge Andrew Gould offered an ingenious plan to Curb the border invasion.

By designation the land bordering Mexico as ‘no trespassing zones,” Gould explained that the states are authorized under the 10th Amendment’s police powers to enforce state law. And “when cartels and caravan groups come across the border and step on state or private land, we have jurisdiction to enforce any criminal law they violate — the first, of course. is trespass.”

Gould explained that per federal law “we can’t deport them, but they can voluntarily return to Mexico as part of a plea agreement,.” Also, “if they come back at any point of their two-year probation … they can go to prison.”

No matter what group or category the illegal immigrant falls under, “there has got be a consequence for violating the law” — something that doesn’t concern Biden.

But there are, of course, no legal consequences for illegally entering the United States under the Biden administration. But there are deadly consequences for those paying smugglers to get across.

At least 51 undocumented migrants were found dead in a tractor-trailer in San Antonio, Texas and more than a dozen were hospitalized, authorities said.

Two of those taken to a hospital later died, officials said, bringing the total death toll to 48 by Monday night. An updated figure was released Tuesday afternoon.

Crews were at the 9600 block of Quintana Road where an 18-wheeler containing up to 100 migrants inside was found abandoned, Fox San Antonio reported. The discovery is part of what is believed to be a human smuggling operation.

"This is nothing short of a horrific human tragedy," San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg said Monday night near the location where the tractor-trailer was found.

Authorities at the scene initially confirmed 46 individuals were found deceased, none of which were children. Officials did not say whether the individuals had migrated from Mexicoor elsewhere.

"The plight of migrants seeking refuge is always a humanitarian crisis but tonight we are dealing with a horrific human tragedy," the mayor added.

Sixteen individuals from the tractor-trailer were transported to the hospital, including 12 adults and four children.

"We hope those responsible for putting these people in such inhumane conditions are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," the mayor said.

San Antonio Police Department Chief William McManus said a nearby worker notified authorities about the tractor-trailer shortly before 6 p.m. Upon arriving at the scene, officials found dozens of deceased inside the back of the transport vehicle.

"This is now a federal investigation," McManus said. The police chief also said at least three people were in custody but did not specify if the individuals were suspects in the investigation.

That the fraudulent, media-hyped Russiagate fiasco was a colossal waste of civic energy is now beyond doubt to all but the most bitterly partisan. But scant attention has been paid to its enablement of the tragic Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The premise of “Russian collusion” was that Vladimir Putin was assisting Donald Trump in defeating Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Even though collusion was never proven, the conclusion is still being bruited about that Putin wished Trump to win.

If, to the contrary, Putin was in fact actively seeking to defeat Trump, this attempt may provide insight into the whys and wherefores of his Ukraine invasion.

To be sure, the trivial and ineffective Russian bot farm postings were laughable and likely done for private profit, not geopolitical effect. But whatever the motivation, they were admittedly inconsequential. But what did move the needle in our domestic politics was the Russiagate scandal itself, interfering with Trump’s agenda while magnifying his contentious style, perhaps causing enough marginal diminution in his support to affect the 2020 U.S. election outcome.

So, yes, the Clinton campaign may have unwittingly caused the election of Joe Biden in 2020. But was this collusion hoax solely the action of Clinton and her domestic supporters in the media and government? More to the point, was Vladimir Putin a willing ally of Clinton in this fabrication? Let’s examine the evidence.

Prior to 2016, Clinton had been nothing but a seemingly corrupt and compromised patsy of Putin, a fact ignored by the media. One of the first acts of President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton was to unilaterally, without quid pro quo, remove military installations in Poland and the Czech Republic pointing sophisticated defensive missiles toward Russia. This technology could have been used as an effective deterrent or a weapon in defense of Ukraine.

Clinton also encouraged, as part of the “Russian Reset,” the transfer of dual-use technology to the “Russian Silicon Valley” at Skolkovo, over the objection of the U.S. Defense Department, enriching Clinton Foundation supporters in both Russia and America. Then, when Clinton’s State Department held the sole “equity” vote, it approved the sale of Uranium One, quickly transferred to Putin’s Rosatom. Now Putin had enhanced military power as well as uranium pricing power, including to America’s nuclear power industry. The financial beneficiaries of the Uranium One deal contributed $150-350 million to the Clinton Foundation, which housed many of her campaign staff. Eleven Russian intelligence agents hovering around the Uranium One deal were arrested and sent back quickly to Russia, without any attempts to cajole the inside story of a seemingly corrupt transaction.

Clinton’s heirs then pushed the destabilizing Iran Nuclear Deal, with Russia the major nuclear contractor for Iran, using Russia as an intermediary for the negotiations. Of course, this same State Department approved of Putin’s march across Ukraine to take over Crimea in 2014, with our government providing only non-lethal assistance such as blankets and MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) in support of Ukraine.

And let us also not forget that in 2010, Clinton’s State Department encouraged and facilitated Ukraine’s surrendering of over 1.1 million light arms and shoulder-fired missile launchers in exchange for vaguely worded security assurances.

So, when the 2016 U.S. presidential election came around, would any rational person believe that Putin wished Trump to defeat the highly compromised and highly compromisable Clinton? But what evidence is there that Putin sought to help Clinton and defeat Trump?

Hired by the Clinton campaign through Fusion GPS, ex-spy Christopher Steele (author of the infamous Steele Dossier) had as a longstanding client Oleg Deripaska, Putin’s close friend and aluminum oligarch. For years, Steele’s Orbis Business Intelligence had touted Deripaska as a “good oligarch” in over 100 intelligence reports to U.S. government agencies.

In 2016, Steele was hired by Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS to perform lucrative work for Prevezon Holdings, a Russian company owned by the family of oligarch Denis Katsyv. Prevezon was fighting a U.S. court seizure of $230 million taken by the American government under the Magnitsky Act, an anti-Putin law caused by the killing of Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky.

Who did Steele hire as his primary subsource to prepare his Dossier? One Igor Danchenko, suspected and never exonerated as a Russian spy. Danchenko received a crucial piece of his false narrative from close, longtime Clinton ally, Charles Dolan, connected to him through seeming Russian intelligence asset Olga Galkina. But was Dolan also a Russian agent? Yes, he was a publicly disclosed Russian PR agent whom the Washington Postreportedhad the trust and respect of Putin’s inner circle. While Danchenko hid Dolan’s involvement, Dolan at the time of the Dossier was actively working with Russian Embassy officials (read: intelligence agents).

Steele also informed the State Department that he used as his sources Vyacheslav Trubnikov, the former Director of Russian intelligence service SVR, and Vladislav Surkov, “Putin’s Rasputin,” working closely with Putin in the Kremlin.

Were these Russian agents working against Putin’s wishes in exposing a Putin-Trump conspiracy? If they were doing so, wouldn’t their faces soon be found in their cereal bowls?

So, it seems obvious that, completely contrary to the cartoonish narrative adopted by the media, this Russian collusion story was actively assisted by Vladimir Putin, and that there was indeed collusion … between Putin and Clinton.

Recall that as of July 28, 2016, John Brennan’s CIA had already gained Russian intelligence showing that Clinton’s foreign policy advisor, Jake Sullivan, had been the author of the hoax, and revealing that Russia was up to the minute on it.

What was Putin’s motive in assisting Clinton by allowing his close allies to participate in the hoax? There is no reason to believe but that in 2016 Putin wished to make Ukraine a vassal state. He knew then that Clinton would likely willingly play ball, and in any case could be so compelled by strong kompromat.

While in office barely three months, Trump lobbed missiles into the joint Syrian-Russian Shayrat airbase in retaliation for use of chemical weapons. He also ordered a successful drone strike against Iran (Russian ally) General Qassim Soleimani, seemingly planning terrorist action. During Trump’s term, Putin did not even feint at full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

But, as soon as Joe Biden was elected, Putin amassed troops on the Ukraine border. Meanwhile, Biden, through National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, the author of the Russiagate fabrication, sought Russian and Iranian oil to backstop dwindling American fossil fuel production, while seeking Russian aid to restart the Iranian nuclear talks.

Almost immediately, Biden and Sullivan paused a large package of lethal American weapons aid to Ukraine, later halting the transfer to Ukraine of MIGs from Poland, while doing nothing to rattle sabers at Putin in advance of the invasion. Indeed, Biden seemed to be offering Putin an engraved invitation, assuring him that America would not take action in Ukraine’s defense.

In short, Putin did not suddenly, in early 2021, begin to wish a Ukraine invasion. Even though he did not successfully help Clinton get elected in 2016, because of his support of the Russiagate deceit Putin got an even weaker United States President in Biden.

So, the Russiagate canard had far more than domestic partisan effect, as wished by Clinton, American intelligence agencies and the partisan media. Our nation’s global security, and that of our allies, as well as food and energy security, have all been catastrophically impacted by a media hungry to accept uncritically any leftist partisan narrative, no matter how obviously fabricated.

This media malpractice has harmed our country profoundly. Will there be any media self-reflection, or at least criticism of Clinton and Biden for their longstanding weakness toward Russia?

Don’t count on it.

Most of us find ourselves in a rut at some point in our lives. But that doesn’t mean we have to stay there. Even when it can seem like an insurmountable challenge to climb back out, a way forward is possible.

A tangible, meaningful tool to focus on the future that we hope to achieve is a vision board. Every plan begins with the expression of a thought. The vision board allows us to take the time to stop, to focus and to determine our most desired dreams for our life. Once we define those dreams, they not only begin to take shape, but they start to manifest. By pausing to think through the direction we hope for our lives to take, actions naturally and miraculously follow our intentions.

Instead of busily looking for answers outside of ourselves, and relying on distractions, stimulants, materialism and other external influences that we believe will give us meaning, we all have the ability to become more awake, present and aware. Practicing Mindfulness is a way to rein in our random thoughts and to hold us in present moment awareness. As we stay focused on the present, we’re able to look more deeply into what we’re actually feeling in that moment — and in our awareness, to transcend limited thoughts and beliefs and raise our consciousness.

Behind the deeply contentious 2020 election stands a real story of a broken election process. Election fraud that alters election outcomes and dilutes legitimate votes occurs all too often, as is the bungling of election bureaucrats. Our election process is full of vulnerabilities that can be ― and are ― taken advantage of, raising questions about, and damaging public confidence in, the legitimacy of the outcome of elections. This book explores the reality of the fraud and bureaucratic errors and mistakes that should concern all Americans and offers recommendations and solutions to fix those problems.

A must-read riveting account of America's plague year from one of the top Trump advisors who first sounded the China pandemic alarm, exposed Dr. Fauci's destructive actions and laid bare the facts about the 2020 presidential election.

In Trump Time, A Journal of America's Plague Year, tells the story of a president who worked night and day for the American People, who built the strongest economy in modern history and who would deliver a life-saving suite of vaccines to the American people literally at warp speed. Peter Navarro is one of only three White House officials by President's side from the 2016 campaign to the end of the president's first term in office.

Always moving In Trump Time as was his signature, Dr Navarro played a pivotal role in the rapid development of both vaccines and therapeutics like Remdesivir as Defense Production Act Policy Coordinator, Navarro was at the center of ramping up domestic production of critically needed Personal Protective Equipment and while helping President Trump ensure that every American who needed a ventilator had a ventilator. A compelling, page turner of a book that tells the story of America 2020 from inside the White House.

It’s estimated that over 30% of the world’s population struggles with perfectionism. Alarmingly, perfectionism in American, Canadian, and British college students rose by 32% between 1989 and 2016 alone. For many, these habits start even younger.

Yet for adults and children alike, the drive to “be perfect” comes at a price, including low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and even life-threatening physical ailments.

No one knows this better than self-professed perfectionist JULIAN REEVE, whose high standards propelled him to the top 1% of his industry as music director of the Broadway hit Hamilton—and triggered a heart attack shortly after.

Now a healthy, healed, and sought-after speaker on perfectionism, Reeve offers fresh perspectives on how perfectionism is both perceived and managed. He’s standing by to share:

Why addressing perfectionism is vital for our health and prosperity
How reframing perfectionism helps us achieve more in healthier ways
The key word that unlocks our perfectionistic potential
Why perfectionism can make or break a business—and what leaders can do about it
Strategies for parents to help young perfectionists develop robust and healthy coping techniques early on

JULIAN REEVE is a former music director of the Broadway musical Hamilton turned perfectionism contributor, speaker, and author of Captain Perfection & the Secret of Self-Compassion: A Self-Help Book for the Young Perfectionist.

Get in Gear: The Seven Gears that Drive Strategy to Results

This highly acclaimed and captivating book offers the world the most thorough understanding to date of “the Warning,” or “the Illumination of Conscience”—a critical moment in human history when every person alive will see their soul in the light of divine truth—including fascinating stories of those who have already experienced it for themselves.

“Christine Watkins has done a tremendous work…invaluable and timely” says Mark Mallet. Bishop Gavin Ashenden, Chaplain to the Queen of England (2008-2017) comments in his foreword to the book, “I devoured it, unable to put it down.”…“Inspirational…I highly recommend it,” says Fr. John Struzzo. Monsignor Ralph J. Chieffo urges, “Read this prophetic book and believe,” Dr. Mark Miravalle writes, “THE WARNING should be widely read and discerned seriously with an open mind,” and Fr. Bernardin Mugabo makes the heartfelt appeal, “I wish everyone would read this!”

Bishop Ashenden, begins his foreword with, “Every so often a book falls into one’s hands that is particularly powerful in unveiling the mystery and power of God’s purpose for his Church today, and this is one such. If you are wondering whether or not you should take the time to read it, let me strongly encourage you to do so.”

The prophecies of the Warning, as outlined and illustrated in this book, have come to us through saints and mystics, including St. Pope Pius IX, St. Pope Paul VI, St. Faustina Kowalska, Blessed Anna Maria Taigi, and Servant of God, Maria Esperanza. Some of these spiritual luminaries are still alive, such as exorcist, mystic, and Superior General, Fr. Michel Rodrigue; stigmatist and mystic, Janie Garza; and founder of the Dynamic Catholic Institute, Matthew Kelly.

Not only does THE WARNING substantiate an event of monumental importance, which appears to be on the horizon of time, but also carries the reader through compelling testimonies of those who have already experienced it personally and against their will. The book culminates in the spell-binding story of Marino Restrepo, hailed as a St. Paul for our century. Formerly a well-to-do Hollywood music producer who sank into serious sin and the New Age movement, he endured a torturous kidnapping by Colombian guerilla rebels for over half a year, during which he experienced an illumination of conscience. In addition, he received a unique gift of infused knowledge of divine matters, which he has been sharing with the world since 1999 in his world-wide, bishop-approved apostolate. And his is only one of the stories. . .

The prophecies and testimonies of the Illumination of Conscience promise to astound, entertain, challenge, and prepare those who read this book and who believe.

Postgate: How the Washington Post Betrayed Deep Throat, Covered Up Watergate, and Began Today's Partisan Advocacy Journalism

By

John O'Connor

MEDIA ANALYST/AUTHOR: John O'Connor, Postgate: How the Washington Post Betrayed Deep Throat, Covered Up Watergate, and Began Today's Partisan Advocacy Journalism.He served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Northern California from 1974-1979, representing the United States in both criminal and civil cases.

The Trump administration all but made a “declaration of war on the House over the impeachment inquiry” on Tuesday in a letter from White House Counsel Pat. A Cipollone, who told House Democrats that the president would not comply with their “illegitimate proceedings.

”In a statement, White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham wrote: “The President has done nothing wrong, and the Democrats know it. For purely political reasons, the Democrats have decided their desire to overturn the outcome of the 2016 election allows them to conduct a so-called impeachment inquiry that ignores the fundamental rights guaranteed to every American.

These partisan proceedings are an affront to the Constitution—as they are being held behind closed doors and deny the President the right to call witnesses, to cross-examine witnesses, to have access to evidence, and many other basic rights.”

Included with Grisham’s statement was the letter from Cipollone that dismantled many of the claims made by Democrat leaders in recent weeks and seriously damaged the credibility of their unofficial impeachment inquiry.

Deep Throat’s lawyer discovers the Washington Post betrayed his client—while covering up the real truth about the Watergate scandal

The conventional wisdom of Watergate is turned on its head by Postgate, revealing that the Post did not uncover Watergate as much as it covered it up. The Nixon Administration, itself involved in a coverup, was the victim of a journalistic smoke-screen that prevented mitigation of its criminal guilt. As a result of the paper’s successful misdirection, today’s strikingly deceptive partisan journalism can be laid at the doorstep of the Washington Post.

After Deep Throat’s lawyer, author John O’Connor, discovered that the Post had betrayed his client while covering up the truth about Watergate, his indefatigable research resulted in Postgate, a profoundly shocking tale of journalistic deceit.

In an era when numerous modern media outlets rail about the guilt of their political enemies for speaking untruths, Postgate proves that the media can often credibly be viewed as the party actually guilty of deception. Americans today mistrust the major media more than ever. Postgate will prove that this distrust is richly deserved.

BIO: John O’Connor is an experienced trial lawyer, practicing law in San Francisco since 1972. He has tried cases in state and federal court throughout the country. He served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Northern California from 1974-1979, representing the United States in both criminal and civil cases. Among his interesting assignments have been representation of the government during the OPEC oil embargo of the 1970s; writing Fifth Amendment and “state of mind” briefs for the prosecution in United States v. Patricia Hearst; representing the FDIC, FSLC and RTC during the savings and loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s; representing California Attorney General Dan Lungren in campaign-related litigation; defending R.J. Reynolds Tobacco in significant smoking and health litigation; representing Coach Don Nelson in litigation with Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban; and representing W. Mark Felt regarding the revelation of his identity as Deep Throat.

4 Achievable Steps for Turning Burnout into Brilliance

By Denise R. Green

Stress is eroding the lives of too many of today's professionals. A landmark study by the Mayo Clinic identified the traits associated with workplace stress and burnout, including emotional exhaustion, bitter cynicism, a plummeting sense of accomplishment and "a tendency to view people as objects rather than as human beings." Whether you suffer from all these symptoms or just one or two, know that life doesn't have to be this way.

We're all born with a spark, and then life piles on. But it's possible to clear off the muck so you can shine brilliantly again.

Brilliance occurs when you feel a sense of freedom and agency over your life -- ease instead of struggle, and freedom instead of feeling trapped in a toxic body, relationship, thought pattern or job. Brilliance is the opposite of burned out, and a serious upgrade from blah. Through incremental and attainable steps, you can reignite that flame within you that has dimmed over the years.

Consider what brilliance can mean across different areas of your life -- your mind, your body, your relationships with others and your relationship with technology. For example, your mind and inner world are brilliant when you feel a sense of ease, gratitude and confidence. Your body attains brilliance when you feel strong, grounded, energized and rested; when you have relationships that are full of ease, trust and curiosity; and when you have strong boundaries around your use of technology.

Use these four achievable steps to turn your stress around, and to find your way back to a brilliant life that shines with purpose and fulfillment.

Tame your thoughts.Getting hooked on emotionally charged narratives of anger, resentment, guilt or fear can have devastating consequences for your physical and mental well-being, affecting your emotional and physiological circuitry in powerful ways. Upgrade your thoughts by noticing when you think the original painful thought. Catch yourself thinking, and replace the painful thought with an upgraded belief that brings relief and prompts better actions. Repeat the new belief over and over until it becomes an embedded belief. Use daily routines as cues to remember to repeat your upgraded thought, like brushing teeth or before entering a meeting. In this way, you become the director of your life, empowered to change the script (and ending), rather than a mere actor performing at the whim of your brain's habitual thinking.
Exude authentic confidence.Truly confident people exude both warmth and strength. Aligning your outward appearance and actions with who and how you want to be in the world can improve your self-perception, as well as other's perceptions of you. You can make changes to improve your confidence almost instantly: get a great haircut, improve how you dress, make eye contact, smile, stand and sit with good posture and keep your chin level with the floor. Changes to your physiology can take more time and effort, such as losing weight and feeling rested and alert. Exercising with weights or boxing will eventually create physical strength and a sense of empowerment that will carry over into your interactions.
Nurture brilliant relationships.Toxic encounters switch on your sympathetic nervous system, putting your brain in a threat state where you're less able to access your "intelligent" brain, the prefrontal cortex. To live a brilliant life, you must attract and nourish relationships that make you happy, healthy and more effective in your life. You need people who make you laugh, who pick you up on a bad day and who remind you of your brilliance. If you're unhappy with your relationships, what qualities do you need to improve in yourself to build and sustain brilliant relationships? Do you need to be more appreciative? A better listener? More forgiving? Do you need to seek out new friends in places you like to frequent, like coffee shops or workout classes? Take steps to improve your relationships and connect with positive people. You can start by telling people how much you value them.
Manage your relationship with technology.Most of us don't use technology as much as we let it use us. Technology has created a "constantly on" environment where we actually have less free time. It takes incredible willpower to resist our screens, but our addiction to technology and our mobile devices allows us less space to just be. It also zaps our productivity. If you want to have productive, fulfilling days, you must mindfully choose not to fall into the social media or news and entertainment rabbit hole. Turn off sound notifications, leave your phone behind in meetings and choose face-to-face conversations whenever possible.

Remember this about brilliance: It's not a destination you reach and then set up camp. It's more like a journey with unpredictable twists and turns. It's easy to fall off the path, but with attention and shifting, you can find your way back again.

4 Emotional Intelligence Skills to Transform Your Leadership Style

By Steven Stein, Ph.D.

In today's work settings, many of the old-style hierarchical and authoritarian styles of leadership have become obsolete. We’ve witnessed significant strides in replacing rewards-punishment "transactional" management styles -- that have mostly proven unproductive -- with "transformative styles" in which organizational leaders inspire their teams to achieve a collective purpose.

And yet we're still in the transition zone where we need more leaders equipped with the skills that combine interpersonal abilities, including empathy and trust, with the capacity to model creative problem solving when faced with tough situations. We refer to this skill set as Emotional Intelligence, or EI. The awareness that EI is an important job skill -- in some cases even surpassing technical ability -- has grown in recent years.

In simple terms, EI is the ability to identify and manage emotional information in oneself and in others. But, we continue to experience a scarcity of this new brand of leadership talent. According to a global survey by Deloitte, leadership was rated the most urgent concern when considering gaps in workforce readiness.

Why haven't we done a better job of cultivating emerging leaders? One reason is that we continue to mistakenly believe good technical or sales skills translate to good management skills. The thinking seems to be: if they excel at analyzing, fixing, selling and so on, then they can likely lead others to excel as well. But these skills and competencies have little to do with being a good leader.

Another erroneous standard of leadership talent is mistakenly assuming that high IQ is a predictor of leadership strength. While it's likely that leaders have higher IQs than followers, the qualities that make up strong leaders go far beyond one's cognitive intelligence.

Finally, choosing leaders based on personality remains widespread. Characteristics such as aggressiveness and extroversion, that tend to stand out in job candidates, don't always correlate with self-awareness, flexibility and influencing others. The forceful leaders may be good at giving orders, but that doesn’t always translate into inspiring subordinates into action.

The traits that new bodies of research confirm as the most effective in improving workplace morale -- and the bottom line -- directly relate to qualities associated with EI. After gleaning results from the largest database of EI test scores in the world, researchers have identified four pillars of EI that form the foundation of competencies needed to buttress today's business world for success now and into the future.

The good news is that EI traits can be cultivated and improved. Practice these four pillars of EI to transform your personal and organizational leadership style:

Express authenticity on every level.Acting without integrity can be the kiss of death in today's world. Today's best leaders must be viewed as credible, fair and "real." Bombastic, arrogant and dominating people are out. For today's leaders, humility is a strength. People will respect you more and go the extra mile if they think you are real.
Coach others to realize their full potential.Today's more equitable workplaces run on collaboration and mentoring, not policing. The best leaders coach their teams through tactics as simple as "management by walking around" and one-on-one meetings where they listen to employees' concerns, offer feedback and guidance and take responsibility for removing any roadblocks.
Communicate the organization's mission in a way that inspires employees, suppliers and customers.More and more companies are realizing they are not in business just to make money or produce a product. Developing a sense of higher purpose (for example, Google's mission is "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful") heightens engagement and motivation for employees and other stakeholders, which helps attract and retain the right people. Insightful leaders communicate a purpose, meaning and vision, and express a hopeful view of the future.
Encourage innovation and risk-taking.More success will accrue to organizations that encourage their employees to think creatively and champion new ideas. That doesn't mean everyone gets their own R&D budget, but it does require that leaders give their people more autonomy and license to explore changing customer needs and provide a fair, safe and encouraging hearing when employees propose new ideas. They also need to be understanding when new, risky ideas don't succeed. Innovative leaders spur imaginative and autonomous thinking and see challenges as learning opportunities.

Three Practical Ways to Turn Naysayers into Innovators by Ed Harrington

Finding new product ideas and innovations to excite customers requires colossal creative effort and a certain comfort level with risk-taking. The considerable effort to take a product from idea to development to launch is both time and energy intensive. If it also demands dealing with naysayers at the table who poke holes in every idea expressed along the way, valuable momentum is lost.

It's important to acknowledge that we all have an inherent bias against venturing into unknown territory. We're descendants of risk adverse ancestors whose self-preservation instincts served them well in a time when potential danger lurked behind every boulder or bush. But in today's world where innovation rules the day, our survival necessitates overcoming these ingrained behavioral biases that hinder new ideas and stifle creative solutions.

Take for example Negativity Bias: We're conditioned to allow negative impressions to form more quickly than positive ones. A seminal study has proven that, in our minds, bad is stronger than good -- negative information, experiences, and even negative people have a stronger effect on us than positive ones. When Negativity Bias joins us at the table, it can stymie even the most adept thinking -- like trying to run with lead shoes.

Negativity Bias often keeps us from voicing creative ideas for fear of being thought foolish, impractical, or just plain odd. Yet, early in the innovation process, ideas should be golden nuggets that expand our thinking and promote discovery. When we err on the side of caution and believe that early-stage ideas need to be fully formed and complete, we automatically lapse into judgment mode instead of discovery mode. To preempt this natural tendency, each member of the group needs to set out in the spirit of contributing half-baked, even impractical ideas, just to see where they might lead.

To get past our individual and collective Negativity Bias when the goal is to create something new, turn to these three useful practices:

Consciously change from "Yes, but…" to "Yes, and…" language.Groups effectively kill innovative ideas with "Yes, but…" comments. Purposely using "Yes, and…" emphasizes what people are in favor of, and invites broader participation. It helps the team respond to new ideas in a way that illuminates their potential while also acknowledging that ideas don't have to be perfect at the outset.
List what you're for along with what you wish for.When you think of a new idea, make a list of the aspects that are interesting or promising about it (what you're for), and that show its potential. Don't worry about addressing any problems with the idea. Instead, focus on what's good about it. Next to the for list, make a list of what you wish for with the idea. This isn't a list of cons, but focuses on the issues within the idea that may require problem solving. Use language when you propose wish for items, such as "How might we…(reduce the cost);" or "I wish…(it could be safe)." Finally, use the wish for list and try to generate solutions. This method allows you to optimize the original idea.
Let humility keep you honest.No one has the complete picture, ever. Imposing idea-killing pronouncements when the group is striving for creative ideas is not only counter-productive, it smacks of arrogance. It's possible to extract value from even the most outlandish ideas if you give them proper consideration. Let humility give you the space to become more playful in the creative process and get the most out of every idea.

In a recent interview with Ms. Bijou we discussed simple ways that you could begin to rewire your thinking in order to help begin to resolve some of the destructive negative thinking we all find ourselves doing from time to time. Enjoy the insights of one of the leading Therapist in the country.

Ask 7 Questions to Banish Negative Thoughts

By Ora Nadrich

We have some 60,000 to 70,000 thoughts a day, and many of them are negative: I can’t do that. I’m not good enough. It’s never going to happen for me. I don’t deserve this. As we embark on a new venture or work toward a new goal, they pop up and wreak havoc on our plans and self-confidence.

Since thoughts create beliefs, which then create behaviors, negative thoughts can undermine us right into a standstill. But there’s a way to stop negative thoughts right in their tracks. All it takes is challenging them with 7 direct questions, starting with: Says Who?

Here are the seven questions we need to ask to disarm those negative thoughts:

Says Who?Whenever a negative though pops into your head, ask it: Says Who? The question exposes a negative thought for exactly what it is: a doubt that can disrupt your life and damage your sense of well-being.
Have I heard someone say this thought before?So many of the voices in our head are actually echoes. They’re old words we heard someone else say to us, such as a parent, spouse, or boss. By identifying the originator of the thought, you can find out if it really belongs to you. Many times, it doesn’t.
Do I like this thought?Go ahead and ask yourself: Is this thought desirable or appealing? If not, then ask yourself: why are you thinking it? If you don’t like what you’re hearing, you don’t have to listen.
Does this thought make me feel better? Negative thoughts tear us down instead of build us up. They seep into our psyches, wreaking havoc. Ask yourself: Is this thought making you feel better or worse about yourself? If it doesn’t enhance your self-esteem in any way, why are you thinking it?
Does this thought work for me? Is this thought useful or productive for you? With this question, you can take a look at whether or not a thought supports your desires or goals. If not, why are you thinking it?
Am I in control of this thought? –Does this thought have any kind of hold or power over you? Or, are you in control of it? If not, ask yourself why you would let a thought have power to control you. Remember, you are the commander of your own thoughts, not the other way around.
Do I want to keep this thought or let it go?With this question, you’re finding out if you want to hold on to a thought that serves no useful purpose for your well-being. If it’s not doing you any good, it’s probably doing you bad. So let it go.

Make it habit (like brushing your teeth) to ask these questions every day. Soon you will find yourself on the way eliminating the negative thinking that slows you down, and turning those hecklers into your own cheering squad. Then you can get on with your life. You can identify your goals, attain improved inner awareness and realize more fulfillment — in your life, career, and relationships. It all starts with a question: Says Who?

“We think it as competent and as necessary for a state to provide precautionary measures against the moral pestilence of paupers, vagabonds, and possibly convicts as it is to guard against the physical pestilence which may arise from unsound and infections articles.”

-New York v. Miln, Chief Justice Philip P. Barbour 1837

Throughout our history, the United States have always adapted our immigration policies to suit the times and the will of the citizenry.

Progressives have worked aggressively for decades to systematically rewrite history in support of their destructive ideologies. They must distort or ignore facts because facts lead to truth and common sense, and those are their greatest enemies. One such recent example is the claim that Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump is a xenophobe, a racist and an anti-immigrant bigot for proposing we change our immigration policies to meet today’s specific needs.

Much of the population associates him with these disparaging terms but cannot cite a single reason for holding this belief, except that they hear it over and over again from the liberal media and that is their intention.

In the wake of increasing Islamic Fundamentalist terrorist attacks within the United States and around the world, Donald Trump recently introduced a plan he refers to as “Extreme Vetting”. As Trump stated, “Those who do not believe in our Constitution, or who support bigotry and hatred, will not be admitted for immigration into the country.”

Trump’s overall position on legal immigration would include temporarily suspending entry by individuals from countries with high numbers of potential terrorists. On illegal immigration, Trump has promised to adhere to the oath all Presidents must take by enforcing both the U.S. Constitution and existing laws. He claims he will stop the flow with a wall on our southern border, which he intends to “make Mexico pay for.”

President Obama, Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Progressive Representatives and even the Pope, all of whom are regularly surrounded by walls and armed security guards, have decried Trumps’ proposals as unprecedented and contrary to American values. However, their mission to eradicate facts is incomplete. Our true history is still available, and on Mr. Trump’s side.

For the first 7 years of U.S. history, under our first constitution (The Articles of Confederation), immigration fell under State jurisdiction.

Requirements varied from State to State and included stipulations that immigrants take an oath disavowing loyalty to their country of origin; that they be of the Christian religion; of good character, etc. Almost immediately after the U.S. Constitution went into effect in 1789, the 1790 Alien Naturalization Act established national guidelines requiring all immigrants be ‘free white persons’ (which excluded slaves, indentured servants and most women, all of whom were considered as dependents), that they be of good moral character, and that they take an oath of allegiance supporting the U.S. Constitution.

Later laws changed the period of residence and required immigrants to disavow any title of nobility. However, citizenship itself was bestowed by any court with jurisdiction in the immigrant’s State of residence. In 1837, the Supreme Court ruled in New York v. Miln with Chief Justice Philip P. Barbour writing:

“We think it as competent and as necessary for a state to provide precautionary measures against the moral pestilence of paupers, vagabonds, and possibly convicts as it is to guard against the physical pestilence which may arise from unsound and infections articles.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — More than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money — either personally or through companies or groups — to the Clinton Foundation. It's an extraordinary proportion indicating her possible ethics challenges if elected president.

At least 85 of 154 people from private interests who met or had phone conversations scheduled with Clinton while she led the State Department donated to her family charity or pledged commitments to its international programs, according to a review of State Department calendars released so far to The Associated Press. Combined, the 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million. At least 40 donated more than $100,000 each, and 20 gave more than $1 million.

Donors who were granted time with Clinton included an internationally known economist who asked for her help as the Bangladesh government pressured him to resign from a nonprofit bank he ran; a Wall Street executive who sought Clinton's help with a visa problem; and Estee Lauder executives who were listed as meeting with Clinton while her department worked with the firm's corporate charity to counter gender-based violence in South Africa.

The meetings between the Democratic presidential nominee and foundation donors do not appear to violate legal agreements Clinton and former president Bill Clinton signed before she joined the State Department in 2009. But the frequency of the overlaps shows the intermingling of access and donations, and fuels perceptions that giving the foundation money was a price of admission for face time with Clinton. Her calendars and emails released as recently as this week describe scores of contacts she and her top aides had with foundation donors.

The AP's findings represent the first systematic effort to calculate the scope of the intersecting interests of Clinton Foundation donors and people who met personally with Clinton or spoke to her by phone about their needs.

The 154 did not include U.S. federal employees or foreign government representatives. Clinton met with representatives of at least 16 foreign governments that donated as much as $170 million to the Clinton charity, but they were not included in AP's calculations because such meetings would presumably have been part of her diplomatic duties.

Clinton's campaign said the AP analysis was flawed because it did not include in its calculations meetings with foreign diplomats or U.S. government officials, and the meetings AP examined covered only the first half of Clinton's tenure as secretary of state.

"It is outrageous to misrepresent Secretary Clinton's basis for meeting with these individuals," spokesman Brian Fallon said. He called it "a distorted portrayal of how often she crossed paths with individuals connected to charitable donations to the Clinton Foundation."

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump fiercely criticized the links between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department, saying his general election opponent had delivered "lie after lie after lie."

"Hillary Clinton is totally unfit to hold public office," he said at a rally Tuesday night in Austin, Texas. "It is impossible to figure out where the Clinton Foundation ends and the State Department begins. It is now abundantly clear that the Clintons set up a business to profit from public office."

Last week, the Clinton Foundation moved to head off ethics concerns about future donations by announcing changes planned if Clinton is elected.

On Monday, Bill Clinton said in a statement that if his wife were to win, he would step down from the foundation's board and stop all fundraising for it. The foundation would also accept donations only from U.S. citizens and what it described as independent philanthropies, while no longer taking gifts from foreign groups, U.S. companies or corporate charities. Clinton said the foundation would no longer hold annual meetings of its international aid program, the Clinton Global Initiative, and it would spin off its foreign-based programs to other charities.

Those planned changes would not affect more than 6,000 donors who have already provided the Clinton charity with more than $2 billion in funding since its creation in 2000.

"There's a lot of potential conflicts and a lot of potential problems," said Douglas White, an expert on nonprofits who previously directed Columbia University's graduate fundraising management program. "The point is, she can't just walk away from these 6,000 donors."

Former senior White House ethics officials said a Clinton administration would have to take careful steps to ensure that past foundation donors would not have the same access as she allowed at the State Department.

"If Secretary Clinton puts the right people in and she's tough about it and has the right procedures in place and sends a message consistent with a strong commitment to ethics, it can be done," said Norman L. Eisen, who was President Barack Obama's top ethics counsel and later worked for Clinton as ambassador to the Czech Republic.

Eisen, now a governance studies fellow at the Brookings Institution, said that at a minimum, Clinton should retain the Obama administration's current ethics commitments and oversight, which include lobbying restrictions and other rules. Richard Painter, a former ethics adviser to President George W. Bush and currently a University of Minnesota law school professor, said Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton should remove themselves completely from foundation leadership roles, but he added that potential conflicts would shadow any policy decision affecting past donors.

Fallon did not respond to the AP's questions about Clinton transition plans regarding ethics, but said in a statement the standard set by the Clinton Foundation's ethics restrictions was "unprecedented, even if it may never satisfy some critics."

State Department officials have said they are not aware of any agency actions influenced by the Clinton Foundation. State Department spokesman Mark Toner said Tuesday night that there are no prohibitions against agency contacts with "political campaigns, nonprofits or foundations — including the Clinton Foundation." He added that "meeting requests, recommendations and proposals come to the department through a variety of channels, both formal and informal."

Some of Clinton's most influential visitors donated millions to the Clinton Foundation and to her and her husband's political coffers. They are among scores of Clinton visitors and phone contacts in her official calendar turned over by the State Department to AP last year and in more-detailed planning schedules that so far have covered about half her four-year tenure. The AP sought Clinton's calendar and schedules three years ago, but delays led the AP to sue the State Department last year in federal court for those materials and other records.

S. Daniel Abraham, whose name also was included in emails released by the State Department as part of another lawsuit, is a Clinton fundraising bundler who was listed in Clinton's planners for eight meetings with her at various times. A billionaire behind the Slim-Fast diet and founder of the Center for Middle East Peace, Abraham told the AP last year his talks with Clinton concerned Mideast issues.

Big Clinton Foundation donors with no history of political giving to the Clintons also met or talked by phone with Hillary Clinton and top aides, AP's review showed.

Muhammad Yunus, a Bangladeshi economist who won the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize for pioneering low-interest "microcredit" for poor business owners, met with Clinton three times and talked with her by phone during a period when Bangladeshi government authorities investigated his oversight of a nonprofit bank and ultimately pressured him to resign from the bank's board. Throughout the process, he pleaded for help in messages routed to Clinton, and she ordered aides to find ways to assist him.

American affiliates of his nonprofit Grameen Bank had been working with the Clinton Foundation's Clinton Global Initiative programs as early as 2005, pledging millions of dollars in microloans for the poor. Grameen America, the bank's nonprofit U.S. flagship, which Yunus chairs, has given between $100,000 and $250,000 to the foundation — a figure that bank spokeswoman Becky Asch said reflects the institution's annual fees to attend CGI meetings. Another Grameen arm chaired by Yunus, Grameen Research, has donated between $25,000 and $50,000.

As a U.S. senator from New York, Clinton, as well as then-Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry and two other senators in 2007 sponsored a bill to award a congressional gold medal to Yunus. He got one but not until 2010, a year after Obama awarded him a Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Yunus first met with Clinton in Washington in April 2009. That was followed six months later by an announcement by USAID, the State Department's foreign aid arm, that it was partnering with the Grameen Foundation, a nonprofit charity run by Yunus, in a $162 million commitment to extend its microfinance concept abroad. USAID also began providing loans and grants to the Grameen Foundation, totaling $2.2 million over Clinton's tenure.

By September 2009, Yunus began complaining to Clinton's top aides about what he perceived as poor treatment by Bangladesh's government. His bank was accused of financial mismanagement of Norwegian government aid money — a charge that Norway later dismissed as baseless. But Yunus told Melanne Verveer, a long-time Clinton aide who was an ambassador-at-large for global women's issues, that Bangladesh officials refused to meet with him and asked the State Department for help in pressing his case.

"Please see if the issues of Grameen Bank can be raised in a friendly way," he asked Verveer. Yunus sent "regards to H" and cited an upcoming Clinton Global Initiative event he planned to attend.

Clinton ordered an aide: "Give to EAP rep," referring the problem to the agency's top east Asia expert.

Yunus continued writing to Verveer as pressure mounted on his bank. In December 2010, responding to a news report that Bangladesh's prime minister was urging an investigation of Grameen Bank, Clinton told Verveer that she wanted to discuss the matter with her East Asia expert "ASAP."

Clinton called Yunus in March 2011 after the Bangladesh government opened an inquiry into his oversight of Grameen Bank. Yunus had told Verveer by email that "the situation does not allow me to leave the country." By mid-May, the Bangladesh government had forced Yunus to step down from the bank's board. Yunus sent Clinton a copy of his resignation letter. In a separate note to Verveer, Clinton wrote: "Sad indeed."

Clinton met with Yunus a second time in Washington in August 2011 and again in the Bangladesh capital of Dhaka in May 2012. Clinton's arrival in Bangladesh came after Bangladesh authorities moved to seize control of Grameen Bank's effort to find new leaders. Speaking to a town hall audience, Clinton warned the Bangladesh government that "we do not want to see any action taken that would in any way undermine or interfere in the operations of the Grameen Bank."

Grameen America's Asch referred other questions about Yunus to his office, but he had not responded by Tuesday.

In another case, Clinton was host at a September 2009 breakfast meeting at the New York Stock Exchange that listed Blackstone Group chairman Stephen Schwarzman as one of the attendees. Schwarzman's firm is a major Clinton Foundation donor, but he personally donates heavily to GOP candidates and causes. One day after the breakfast, according to Clinton emails, the State Department was working on a visa issue at Schwarzman's request. In December that same year, Schwarzman's wife, Christine, sat at Clinton's table during the Kennedy Center Honors. Clinton also introduced Schwarzman, then chairman of the Kennedy Center, before he spoke.

Blackstone donated between $250,000 and $500,000 to the Clinton Foundation. Eight Blackstone executives also gave between $375,000 and $800,000 to the foundation. And Blackstone's charitable arm has pledged millions of dollars in commitments to three Clinton Global aid projects ranging from the U.S. to the Mideast. Blackstone officials did not make Schwarzman available for comment.

Clinton also met in June 2011 with Nancy Mahon of the MAC AIDS, the charitable arm of MAC Cosmetics, which is owned by Estee Lauder. The meeting occurred before an announcement about a State Department partnership to raise money to finance AIDS education and prevention. The public-private partnership was formed to fight gender-based violence in South Africa, the State Department said at the time.

The MAC AIDS fund donated between $5 million and $10 million to the Clinton Foundation. In 2008, Mahon and the MAC AIDS fund made a three-year unspecified commitment to the Clinton Global Initiative. That same year, the fund partnered with two other organizations to beef up a USAID program in Malawi and Ghana. And in 2011, the fund was one of eight organizations to pledge a total of $2 million over a three-year period to help girls in southern Africa. The fund has not made a commitment to CGI since 2011.

Estee Lauder executive Fabrizio Freda also met with Clinton at the same Wall Street event attended by Schwarzman. Later that month, Freda was on a list of attendees for a meeting between Clinton and a U.S.-China trade group. Estee Lauder has given between $100,000 and $250,000 to the Clinton Foundation. The company made a commitment to CGI in 2013 with four other organizations to help survivors of sexual slavery in Cambodia.

MAC AIDS officials did not make Mahon available to AP for comment.

When Clinton appeared before the U.S. Senate in early 2009 for her confirmation hearing as secretary of state, then- Sen. Richard Lugar, a Republican from Indiana, questioned her at length about the foundation and potential conflicts of interest. His concerns were focused on foreign government donations, mostly to CGI. Lugar wanted more transparency than was ultimately agreed upon between the foundation and Obama's transition team.

Now, Lugar hopes Hillary and Bill Clinton make a clean break from the foundation.

"The Clintons, as they approach the presidency, if they are successful, will have to work with their attorneys to make certain that rules of the road are drawn up to give confidence to them and the American public that there will not be favoritism," Lugar said.

"Donald J. Trump has shaken up his presidential campaign for the second time in two months, hiring a top executive from the conservative website Breitbart News and promoting a senior adviser in an effort to right his faltering campaign.

Stephen Bannon, the executive chairman of Breitbart News LLC, will become the Republican campaign’s chief executive, and Kellyanne Conway, a senior adviser and pollster for Mr. Trump and his running mate, Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana, will become the campaign manager.

Paul Manafort, the campaign chairman, will retain his title. But the staffing change, hammered out on Sunday and set to be formally announced Wednesday morning, was seen by some as a demotion for Mr. Manafort.

The news, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, was confirmed early Wednesday by Ms. Conway in a brief interview, but she rejected the idea that the changes amounted to a shake-up and said that Mr. Manafort was not being diminished.

“It’s an expansion at a busy time in the final stretch of the campaign,” she said, adding that Mr. Manafort and his deputy, Rick Gates, would remain in their roles.

“We met as the ‘core four’ today,” Ms. Conway added, referring to herself, Mr. Bannon, Mr. Manafort and Mr. Gates.

People briefed on the move said that it reflected Mr. Trump’s realization that his campaign was at a crisis point. But it indicates that the candidate — who has chafed at making the types of changes his current aides have asked for, even though he had acknowledged they would need to occur — has decided to embrace his aggressive style for the duration of the race.

Both Ms. Conway and Mr. Bannon, whose news organization has been very favorable to Mr. Trump since he entered the primaries, are close with Robert and Rebekah Mercer, the father-and-daughter conservative donors who have become allies of the candidate and are funding a “super PAC” that is working against Hillary Clinton."

CBS NEWS August 11, 2016, 7:01 AM CENTCOM accused of manipulating intel on ISIS Last Updated Aug 11, 2016 7:20 AM EDT

According to a hard-hitting government task force report released Thursday, intelligence generated by the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) was manipulated to paint a rosier picture of the U.S. effort to combat ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

The report finds that, beginning in mid-2014, final intelligence reports issued by CENTCOM contradicted the initial internal assessments made by its own analysts, reports CBS News correspondent Jim Axelrod.

"The facts on the ground didn't match what the intelligence was saying out of the United States Central Command," said Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kan., a member of the task force.

The military CENTCOM is responsible for American security interests in 20 nations, stretching from Egypt through the Arabian Gulf region and into central Asia.

The task force stemmed from a whistleblower complaint from a senior analyst at CENTCOM alleging that intel had been manipulated. The complaint is under active investigation by the Defense Department inspector general.

"There's enormous evidence about how this information from talented career professionals inside the analytic arm at CENTCOM did their job and accurately depicted what was going on on the ground, but when it got to very senior levels, that information was changed," Pompeo said.

But it wasn't just classified intelligence. The task force also found that CENTCOM's public statements were far more positive than events on the ground warranted -- such as in March 2015 when CENTCOM Commander Gen. Lloyd Austin testified to Congress.

"The fact is that he [ISIS] can no longer do what he did at the outset, which is to seize and hold new territory. He has assumed a defensive crouch in Iraq," Gen. Austin said.

While the report found intelligence was in fact manipulated by CENTCOM, the task force found no evidence that orders for those changes came from the White House.

House Report on CENTCOM Intelligence

"The first case of locally-acquired Zika virus has arrived in Palm Beach County.

Gov. Rick Scott said Monday the infected person recently traveled to Miami-Dade County, ground zero for an outbreak of Zika acquired through domestic mosquitoes. State health officials are attempting to determine where the unidentified person contracted the virus.

Before Monday’s announcement, the state said that 20 people in Palm Beach County had been infected while traveling outside the United States to countries — mostly in the Caribbean and Latin America — where the virus is widespread.

South Florida has 17 cases of locally-acquired Zika, including at least 14 in a one-square-mile area in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood, a popular arts district just north of the city’s downtown. There have also been two confirmed cases in Broward County of non-travel-related Zika.

Scott said Monday that state officials still believe local transmission of Zika remains confined to the Wynwood area. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention took the unprecedented step last week of warning pregnant women not to travel to Wynwood. People who have visited Wynwood since June 15 have been advised by the CDC to put off getting pregnant for several weeks."

Paying Tribute to Iran

Matt Fitzgibbons, PatriotMusic.com

Recently, the President of the United States was discovered to have secretly organized a shipment of $440 million to Iran which happened to coincide with the release of four American prisoners held in Tehran. It was paid in foreign currency, ostensibly because it is illegal to pay U.S. Dollars to Iran. At least two more Americans have since been arrested. Was it a ransom or a tribute to Iran?

For a thousand years (from the 9th to the 19th centuries) the four nation states of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya, were known as the Barbary states. During this period, they were widely feared by anyone travelling by sea throughout the Western Mediterranean. From the cliffs above their ports, they would identify passing ships from miles away and ambush them with as many as 80 corsairs to kill, steal their cargo, crew and passengers and either hold them captive for ransom or sell them into slavery. They would, of course, pay a pre-negotiated sum to the State’s leader, and divide the rest amongst themselves, keeping the healthy and killing the rest. From the 16th to 19th centuries, Barbary Pirates sold as many as 1.25 million souls into slavery, raiding Italy and Spain so often that coastal villages there were considered too dangerous. At various times, their attacks reached as far as Iceland and Ireland. Algiers alone was said to have had as many as 20,000 captives at one time. Prisoners of wealth might secure their freedom through ransom but those less fortunate were doomed to a life of slavery.
The more powerful European nations eventually negotiated treaties which required them to pay annual bribes (referred to as tributes) to enable their ships to be left alone. Periodically, the Barbary Pirates would break the treaties as an effective means of negotiating more money. But since the smaller nations were unable to afford the bribes, their ships were regular targets, which effectively reduced competition, driving up the value of the wealthier nations’ goods. It was simply the cost of doing business. Benjamin Franklin is said to have heard London merchants say, “if there were no Algiers, it would be worth England’s while to build one.”

By the early 18th century, Great Britain’s Royal Navy had become so powerful; they could negotiate more modest tributes. If the pirates didn’t like it, England would sink enough of their ships or shell their ports until they agreed on a price. Up until the American War for Independence, America benefited from this arrangement as a British Colony. During the War, she was protected as an Ally of France under their treaties with the pirates. Afterwards, the Treaty of Paris officially ended America’s war with England, and then it was a very different story.

In 1777, Morocco was the first nation to publicly recognize the United States and in 1784, it became the first Barbary state to seize an American vessel and its crew. While in England, having been commissioned by Congress to seek commercial treaties with that nation and Portugal, John Adams met the envoy from Tripoli. He said at the time that the man was either a saint or the devil himself but didn’t know which. American merchantmen in the Mediterranean were regularly murdered and sold into slavery but the envoy told Adams that “his only interest in life was to do good and make other people happy”, assuring him that Americans would be free to travel by sea unharmed for a million dollars or so. Adams would have preferred war over tribute, but knew that Congress neither had a Navy for war nor money for tribute. The then Minister to France, Thomas Jefferson, successfully negotiated a treaty with Morocco arranging for the return of the captured merchant ship Betesy and its crew. However, the treaty included an expensive tribute amounting to 1.5 million dollars, or 10% of the U.S. Federal Government’s annual expenditures each year for the next 15 years. The other three Barbary states saw an opportunity and attempted to extort exorbitant sums from the new republic through treaties which proved to be too expensive. In 1785 Algerian pirates captured the schooner Maria and Dauphin, demanding $600,000 each for the return of the ships and their crews. In 1786, when Jefferson and Adams went to London to negotiate with Tripoli’s envoy, they asked him why his people were making war with a nation that had done them no harm. Jefferson later wrote of the ambassador’s response as, “It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise.”

The two crews languished in prison for over a decade. Jefferson advised Congress against paying tributes as he believed it would only lead to more attacks. Writing to his friend John Jay, Secretary of State to the Continental Congress, Jefferson said, “Weakness provokes insult and injury, while a condition to punish it often prevents it. This reasoning leads to the necessity of some naval force, that being the only weapon with which we can reach an enemy. I think it to our interest to punish the first insult: because an insult unpunished is the parent of many others. We are not at this moment in a condition to do it, but we should put ourselves into it as soon as possible.”
Adams’ experience with the envoy from Tripoli directly lead to the creation of the U.S. Navy in 1794 with 6 frigates and it’s continued funding when he was elected the second President. And while Thomas Jefferson, the third President, did not share Adam’s commitment to expanding the expensive Navy, Adams had had the foresight to create a Navy which was now at Jefferson’s disposal. So on Jefferson’s inauguration when the Pasha of Tripoli demanded $225,000 up-front from Jefferson’s new administration, and an additional $50,000 per year, Jefferson refused. He would not allow the United States to sacrifice its honor by paying bribes, no matter what it was called or however old a tradition it was for European nations. The Pasha declared war.

In 1801, the American schooner Enterprise, commanded by Lieutenant Andrew Sterret defeated the much larger 14-gun Tripolitan corsair Tripoli in a three-hour battle without a single American casualty. In 1802 Jefferson sent America’s best ships as part of a larger force to the region and ordered that all prisoners be treated humanely. In 1803, Commodore Edward Preble blockaded the Barbary ports and sent a small detachment of U.S. Marines to burn the captured U.S. Philadelphia which had run aground and been set up against them as a gun ship. British admiral, Horatio Nelson, purportedly referred to the episode as “the most bold and daring act of the age.” The American naval force attacked the Tripoli harbor while 8 Marines led by 1st Lieutenant Presley O’Bannon, with an army of 500 mercenaries, captured the city of Derna after a march from Alexandria across the desert. The pirates soon requested peace and $60,000 for the return of the American prisoners. This allowed Jefferson to make the distinction between paying ransom for prisoners and tribute as a bribe.

In the early 1800s our young Republic had only 6 frigates, a small force of Marines and no standing Army. What they accomplished would be unbelievable had it not actually happened. But then, that is often the case when Americans are motivated by honor. Today, the United States have the most powerful military in human history but our allies don’t trust us and our enemies don’t fear us. Our current President announces a line and our enemies promptly cross it. When he negotiates with them, it emboldens them just as it did when our young nation naively paid tribute to the Barbary Pirates. Whether our President’s recent payment to Iran was a tribute or a ransom is irrelevant. The distinction no longer matters. The United States are in a far different position than we were in the early 1800s. Both are dishonorable.

As Jefferson so wisely stated, “an insult unpunished is the parent of many others.”

HEY, MICHELLE: Here’s 7 Ways You & Barack Made America NOT Great

by Dan Perkins
Clash Daily Guest Contributor

As I was driving home this past weekend, I heard on the radio about the breaking news of the killing of three policemen and the wounding of three others in Baton Rouge. A great fear came over me, I found myself asking, “Is this the beginning of the American Sunset?”, “is this the end of the great experiment started by our founding fathers?”

Are there signs that the American Empire is over? After doing some research, I found 8 ways to tell if it is over, and for the most part, they come from Saul Alinsky. He told us his theory and I have found the scary facts that support the idea of the end of America.

Many of you are probably asking who is Saul Alinsky and why is he so important? Saul David Alinsky died in June of 1972, and he was a community organizer and writer before Barack Obama. He is generally considered to be the founder of modern community organizing. His often quoted 1971 book “Rules for Radicals”, became the handbook for radicals including President Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Alinsky received much criticism, but also gained praise from many public figures for his work. He focused on improving the living conditions of poor communities across North America. In the 1950’s, he began turning his attention to improving conditions in the African-American ghettos, beginning with Chicago and later traveling to other ghettos in California, Michigan, New York City, and a dozen other “trouble spots”.

His ideas were adapted in the 1960’s by some U.S. college students including Bill and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Hillary wrote a college thesis on Alinsky and his goals. In 1970, Time magazine wrote, “It is not too much to argue that American Democracy is being altered by Alinsky’s ideas.” So, what did he believe?

Healthcare

Alinsky believed that Hitler was the founder of universal healthcare; he believed his collective universal healthcare concept was “racial hygiene,” the elimination of certain “undesirable” segments of the society, as life not worth living. Under the appearance of reproductive freedom, black women are committing genocide on their own people.

According to the Guttmacher Institute “abortion rates among Black women are much higher than we thought: They are four times the rate of white women.”

The highest abortion rates among Black teens occur in Texas (78 per 1,000), New York (76 per 1,000), Delaware (51 per 1,000), Michigan (45 per 1,000), Ohio (35 per 1,000) and Rhode Island (30 per 1,000).

While Black women account for 13 percent of the female population, they accounted for 30 percent of all abortions. In New York City, the number of Black abortions exceeds the number of Black live births.

Poverty

“Poor People are easier to control and will not fight back if the government is providing everything for them to live.” The Chart below shows what has been happening to the poverty level in America.

Government Debt

Increase the National Debt to an unsustainable level.” That way you are able to increase taxes to pay the interest on the debt, and this will produce more poverty by taking a larger share of household income.

Take away their guns

“Remove the ability of Americans to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a Police State – total local control.”

Religion

Jacqueline Martin’s research entitled “Its all about me” concludes that the decline of religion and the dramatic increase in secularism is the result of generations with a “me” focus, with little or no attention to the needs of others. She claims that the millennials with their “me focus” are now driving the decline.

Class Warfare

Mark Hendrickson writing in Forbes magazine said:

“Those who believe in individual rights and liberty always have tended to reject the Marxian paradigm that pits the rich against the poor. Today, we hear all about this alleged class warfare. President Obama harps on income inequality, so does the IMF. French economist Thomas Piketty’s current bestseller, “Capital in the 21st Century,” echoes the same theme.

Well, I have bad news for both those on the right and those on the left: Yes, there is class warfare in America, but it’s not between the rich and poor, but between the political class and the rest of the citizenry who bear the brunt of political power and pay the price in lost liberty, property, and opportunity.”

Racial inclusiveness was a major chord in Obama’s speech to the 2004 Democratic National Convention, and on that note, he proclaimed:

“There is not a black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian America – there’s the United States of America.”

The Democratic Left funded along with George Soros MoveOn.Org, which built Black Lives Matter.

The Gallup Poll of March 2-6, 2016 reported:

In U.S., Concern About Crime Climbs to 15-Year High

Percentage of Americans who worry “A GREAT DEAL” about crime violence:

53% worry “a great deal” about crime, compared with 39% in 2014

44% are concerned about drug use, also up significantly since 2014

60% Say Race Relations Have Gotten Worse

A new Rasmussen Report national telephone survey finds that 60% of likely U.S. voters think race relations are worse since President Obama’s election nearly eight years ago. That’s an 18-point jump from 42% in late 2014 and up from 43% when we first asked the question in August 2013. Just nine percent (9%) believe race relations are better now, little changed from the previous survey, while 28% say they have stayed about the same.

The above numbers are already so overwhelming that they may not be reversible. If Hillary becomes President the balance scale of survival may well tilt towards destruction of America. More spending with no significant increase in revenue from taxes paid on increasing profits and wages may well rapidly accelerate the ultimate collapse of America.

Many Americans find it difficult to believe that we are on the brink of no longer being America. We will still be called America on the maps, but be assured we will no longer be America, at least the America I knew. As our financial resources diminish because we are taking care of more and more people from cradle to grave we become more vulnerable to foreign attacks both financially and physically.

I believe the reason for the high percentage of worry about crime and the awful race relations in America is because the people who are bound by the chains of dependency on the government feel constrained and they want more. Generations of Americans, depending on the government to survive have breed contempt for the government and those Americans who have more than they do. They have reached the point of desperation to break the chains of oppression.

Glenn Beck said recently, that America is a country of rugged individualism. I fear that Glenn may be living in the past, for the rugged I see in the future is the type of lives we may well face.

"Doubling down on his feud with the Democratic Party leadership, Senator Bernie Sanders said that if elected president, he will not reappoint Democratic National Committee chairwoman, Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida.

He made the comments during an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper that is set to air on Sunday. Mr. Sanders also said he was supporting Tim Canova, a law professor who has begun an insurgent campaign against Ms. Wasserman Schultz for her South Florida congressional seat. They will face off in a primary this summer.

“Well, clearly, I favor her opponent,” Mr. Sanders told Mr. Tapper. “His views are much closer to mine.”

For months, Mr. Sanders has accused the party of favoring Hillary Clinton, often calling her the “anointed candidate.”

He has criticized the party for a debate schedule that his campaign says favors Mrs. Clinton; an arrangement under which Mrs. Clinton raises money for the party; and the appointment of Clinton supporters as leaders of important convention committees.

Most recently, he and the party have sparred over what happened at the Nevada Democratic convention a week ago. There, Sanders supporters disrupted the proceedings in a fight over delegates and the state party chairwoman was later threatened. After the party rebuked Mr. Sanders for not clearly condemning what had occurred, his campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, accused Ms. Wasserman Schultz of “throwing shade on the Sanders campaign from the very beginning.”

This week, Ms. Wasserman Schultz pushed back against the Sanders campaign in an interview with CNN. “We’ve had the same rules in place that elected Barack Obama,” she told the network. “These rules were adopted for state parties all across the country in 2014.”

In a statement on Saturday, she said that “even though Senator Sanders has endorsed my opponent, I remain, as I have been from the beginning, neutral in the presidential Democratic primary.”

Reboot Performance Management from Tedious to Trans-formative: Lessons from a Talent Strategist

It’s time to rethink performance management — or risk losing your best and brightest to a firm that does.

Old-school performance management, with its bell curves, forms, hounding emails and awkward negotiating, won’t cut it with today's workforce. Moreover, everyone in the world of work knows it, including HR professionals. The annual dreaded rite known as the Performance Review is universally acknowledged as the least likely to engage those involved. It’s high time we rethink PM.

Enter talent pioneer M. Tamra Chandler. With decades of experience with clients from giant multinationals to small nonprofits, this award-winning consultant has an insider’s understanding of what’s broken about traditional performance management — and how to fix it. Chandler created the PM Reboot — an innovative, customizable solution for better managing talent. It’s all contained in her new book, How Performance Management is Killing Performance — and What to Do About It.

Having spent a career thinking about how to best motivate performance, Chandler offers a clear, crisp method for rebooting the paradigm. As she notes, to get inspired performance takes inspired people — and engagement is best sparked with authentic motivation, not administrative minutiae. People-centric, filled with humor, and down to earth, the approach is well suited to a multi generational, global, hyper-connected, 21st-century workforce.

How Performance Management is Killing Performance is a must for anyone interested in the junction of people and organizations. It presents tools and ideas to engage organizations and employees in the creation of something better, and practical examples that offer model routes out of the quagmire of archaic methods. Based on thorough research and solid rationale, it combines common sense with sound business strategies. Success is based on people, says Chandler: Rethinking how you manage performance will greatly benefit your bottom line.

7 Leadership Tips From an Interim CEO

Taking over a flailing, anxious company is anything but ideal circumstances for a new leader, but Interim CEOs face it all the time. It’s precisely this kind of high-pressure situation that forges strong and empathetic leadership strategies.

I’ve done it for three decades, turning around companies from agriculture (such as Styrotek) to telecommunications giants (such as ITT). As Interim leader, I have to parachute in, quickly gain trust and respect from all levels, determine a course of action, and unite everyone to stay that course — all within a limited timeframe.

It takes leadership strategies far beyond business and managerial chops, though certainly those are necessary. You can’t lead effectively without a connection to the people in the company; emotional intelligence is a must. Think of it as strategic empathy: sincerely focused on the individual, but always with the big picture top of mind.

Here are 7 tips for using strategic empathy as a leader. I learned them as an Interim CEO, but I’ll bet they bear relevance for anyone taking a leading role.

Expect anxiety.

When I walk into a company in crisis, I expect many people will be scared and angry, entirely natural given the conditions. But fear and uncertainty are fertile grounds for doubt and resistance. So act quickly to quell it, or you’ll have an entirely dysfunctional situation on your hands, where you can’t get anything done.

Let them say No.

Of course I don’t want to hear no. I want to hear yes. But as a leader, I have to be able to reach other people on an emotional level, or I’ve lost them. I also have to understand and contain my own emotions. So I hear people out, keeping my own feelings in check. When I inevitably hear no, I don’t try to counter it. I show that I respect what they think; that it’s safe to express their opinions. On a practical level, that free speech will come in handy when I’m looking for answers.

Don’t send a representative.

A perceived vacuum in leadership can have quick and devastating consequences, So make your presence known, and not by proxy. Direct contact is key. I don’t just speak to one level down, then dispatch the VPs to transmit my message to everyone else. That kind of ivory tower detachment won’t create any connection, trust or respect within the company. And unless you can build those, you’ll never get to yes.

Focus on the middle

Experience has taught me to listen to every level but focus my attention on the middle. The VPs are like the company’s elder counsel: their own survival in mind, they may just tell you what they think you want to hear. The bottom are less focused on strategic issues, but you need their confidence, trust, and input — as I found out by spending time on the floor at Styrotek. But it’s the middle managers that translate a CEO’s vision into daily practice. Without them, you can’t effectively implement change.

If you see something broken, fix it.

If you’re not leading with the goal of improving on the status quo, you’re not leading, you’re following the same flawed path. And decisive action inspires confidence. While the Interim CEO at Robinson Nugent, I joined the shipping team one day to find out why orders were frequently misdelivered. After watching one employee struggling with addresses, I took her aside — much to her relief. She had trouble reading, she told me, and added that for months, she’d been begging for a transfer to assembly. First I transferred her there, where her mechanical skills immediately shone and her wages increased. Then I fired the shipping supervisor, who should have known what was going on in his own department.

Everyone has to row the boat.

I’m steering a company back to health, but everyone has to row the boat or we’re all dead in the water. So I create an environment that encourages and rewards participation. At ITT I called a meeting with accounting and financial to discuss how to better support our revenue base. With the VPs and myself on stage before an audience of over 200 employees, I asked, “Is anyone here in sales?” My point was we’reall in sales: without satisfied customers, there are no accounts or revenue. Only one person raised her hand, but that was enough. “Great,” I said to her, “You got the message.” Then I walked into the audience to recognize her, and the whole mood shifted from disinterest to total engagement. Then we could all start getting things done.

Know the 8 out of 10 rule.

Generally, out of ten ideas, eight are unusable, but that’s the only way you get to those two good ones. And just because an individual’s title has nothing to do with the issue at hand doesn’t mean he or she doesn’t have a solution. So welcome all suggestions. While Interim CEO for a company stuck with 50 million dollars of nonmoving inventory, I held a meeting with accounting, marketing and sales, and asked for ideas. First a fellow from accounting suggested we sell the inventory at a big discount. I knew that wouldn’t work (it depended on the same channels that had already failed), but I praised the attempt, which encouraged more ideas. A new MBA suggested selling the inventory to a closeout retail chain. She wasn’t even in sales, but this was brilliant. Put together a team, I said, promising them a percentage. They sold everything.

Often, an interim CEO manages profound change under tremendous pressure. But use a unilateral, top-down leadership strategy, and you’ll lose before you even start. Instead, listen, learn, empathize, and include everyone in your strategy. If everyone is invested in a company’s survival, you’re far more likely to succeed. Remember: everyone’s got to take an oar to move that boat.

Seventy years after the resurrection of Jesus Christ, in a poor, one room home built from stone, mud, and straw located just outside of Jerusalem, a frail old man tells his granddaughter and her husband of an amazing and miraculous secret. A secret that, because of fear, he kept to himself for decades.

When he was an orphaned nine-year old street urchin on a street in Jerusalem, he had an encounter with a “bloody and beaten” man who was being forced to drag a heavy timber cross for His own crucifixion. The old man tells of what he witnessed first-hand of the last forty days Jesus walked the earth.

"One week and one day.

That’s how long the old guard of the Republican Party believes it has to take down Donald Trump in what’s become a mad scramble to blunt the billionaire’s momentum before delegate-rich, winner-take-all contests crown him the presumptive GOP nominee.

Nearly $10 million in spending by anti-Trump forces and the pro-Sen. Marco Rubio super PAC has poured into the race since Super Tuesday, with much of the focus on Florida and its crucial haul of 99 delegates.

The goal, according to people familiar with the effort, has been to assemble as much as $25 million to spend against the New York businessman before March 15. Some, however, doubt the figure will ultimately reach that high. And even Trump opponents are questioning if the donor world has moved from hand-wringing to check-writing in time."

'It seems like yesterday.

The Hillary Clinton juggernaut arrived in Nevada last spring, making all the right moves. She hired Emmy Ruiz, a skilled operative who worked for Clinton and Barack Obama here in 2008 (Clinton won the popular vote but lost the delegate fight), to helm her effort. Ruiz brought a Nevada-centric team together, people who knew the state and its burgeoning Latino community, which made up 15 percent of the caucus universe eight years ago. And in May, Clinton held a memorable event, a roundtable with DREAMers, who just recently endorsed her for the nomination.

Nevada was Clinton Country, mostly because of her organizational strength designed to construct a firewall should Bernie Sanders do well in New Hampshire. Indeed, Sanders apparently couldn’t place Nevada on a map – he had no offices, no staff, no footprint at all.

Race? What race?

Now, one week before Nevada Democrats break the tie between Iowa and New Hampshire and decide if the Sanders Surge is real, yesterday has vanished and Hillary Clinton can’t stop thinking about tomorrow.

No, not the way the Clinton's meant it in 1992, with optimism and hope. This campaign is filled with dread and fear; you can feel it.

In a poker game, they are what is known as “tells,” some giveaway to what cards a player holds, some sign of whether he has the flush or has a busted hand. As Team Clinton focuses on the state where gambling dominates, their tells are showing."

"Campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination took a nasty turn on Wednesday with billionaire businessman Donald Trump accusing rival Ted Cruz of fraud as the field of candidates narrowed ahead of next week's New Hampshire primary.

Rand Paul, a U.S. senator from Kentucky with a libertarian philosophy, pulled out of the Republican race. Conservative Rick Santorum also exited the race on Wednesday and endorsed U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida.

Both Paul and Santorum, a former senator from Pennsylvania, did poorly in Monday's Iowa caucuses, which were won by Cruz, with Trump and Rubio finishing second and third. The caucuses were the first of the state-by-state nominating contests ahead of the Nov. 8 election to replace Democratic President Barack Obama.

Trump, a real estate mogul and former reality TV star, went on Twitter on Wednesday to accuse the conservative U.S. senator from Texas of stealing his victory in Iowa. Cruz's team hit back by telling Trump to seek help for addiction to the social media site.

The two men are going head-to-head for voters in New Hampshire, where Cruz's evangelical Christian credentials will not likely be as helpful as they were in Iowa. Opinion polls show Trump with a roughly 20-point lead in New Hampshire before next Tuesday's primary."

"And with Iran back as a full player in world oil markets, the previously unthinkable — sub-$20-a-barrel crude — is looking more possible.

Iran's oil ministers say they intend to boost their oil production and ship 500,000 barrels a day initially, now that sanctions have been lifted in light of nuclear inspections deal, the Islamic Republic News Agency reported. Iran's goal is 2 million barrels a day.

Eshaq Jahangiri, Iran's First Vice President, said Monday that his nation's oil exports will increase soon and grow further "on a daily basis," the news agency also reported.

The higher production levels alone are big enough to further depress the price of oil, especially since Saudi Arabia has refused to cut its production levels.

The result could lead to oil prices in the mid-$20s a barrel, and with occasional bouts of panic selling, briefly dip into the teens, said Tom Kloza, global head of energy analysis for the Oil Price Information Service.

Oil already plunged past one key threshold last week, falling past $30 a barrel. West Texas Intermediate, the benchmark U.S. crude, closed Friday at $29.42, down $1.78 for the day. Brent crude, an international benchmark, closed at $28.94, down $1.94. The low oil prices are reflected in the price of gasoline, which dipped Sunday to $1.90 a gallon nationally, down almost 7 cents in a week, according to AAA's Fuel Gauge Report.

"The expectation is we're going to plumb new lows. Every oil investor and trader worth his salt has anticipated it," Kloza said."

"Ted Cruz, who established himself as Iowa’s prohibitive favorite in early January with an intimidating show of force, is suddenly under siege one week before the caucuses as rival Republicans pummel him and as opposition to his presidential candidacy from the state’s political and business elite hardens.

Although Cruz is campaigning aggressively, his advisers are concerned about the barrage and are now scrambling to reset expectations for him here. They insisted Monday that the senator from Texas always has been the “underdog” in Iowa and argued that a second-place finish to Donald Trump should be interpreted as a mark of grit and would catapult him onward in the nominating contest.

“I can’t guarantee we’ll win,” Cruz told a group of pastors Monday at a private meeting in Cedar Rapids. “I don’t know that. That’s out of my hands. I believe we have a path to victory.”

Still, a loss in Iowa — the state where Cruz has campaigned the most and where the GOP’s deeply conservative base seems a natural fit — would call into question the depth of his coalition. Also at stake is the credibility of his vaunted data and field operation, which in Iowa is believed to be more sophisticated than any other Republican’s.

Cruz’s standing for weeks atop many Iowa polls has thrust him into the crosshairs. Trump is hitting him relentlessly over his Canadian birth and his “nasty” reputation in Washington, while using the endorsement of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin to drive a wedge with evangelicals. Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) is portraying Cruz as a calculating politician and proponent of European-style economics. Fellow religious- conservative candidates Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum are charging that he is a fraud."

Obama Continues to Wreak Havoc on Gun Rights

On January 4, the President of the United States declared war on gun owners.

His lawless, anti-gun power-grab potentially threatens every gun owner in the country. It represents one of the boldest executive actions against gun owners in history.

First, there’s his efforts to turn collectors and hobbyists into “gun dealers.”

This would take us back to the “bad old days” in which the ATF tried to imprison collectors who sold only a couple of firearms.

Under Obama’s new amorphous standards, even the sale of a single gun could land you in prison.

On one hand, Obama wants to turn collectors and hobbyists into “gun dealers.” On the other hand, under Clinton-era policies, he won’t give licenses to collectors and hobbyists without “bricks-and-mortar” storefronts.

So the liar-in-chief is trying to set a trap in which collecting firearms is effectively outlawed.

Second, there's Obama’s 200 new ATF agents proposed, not to arrest the violent drug dealers he wants to release on the streets, but rather to feed more 4473’s into Obama’s burgeoning national gun registry.

Then there are the efforts to:

Use taxpayer dollars to develop “smart gun” technology, which would ultimately be required;
Slap gun loss reporting requirements on the gun industry that could easily entrap large dealers; and
Impose new rules to strip 4.2 million seniors of their gun collections.

Obama has declared war on gun owners. It’s now time to strike back.

Here’s How We Can Hit Obama Where it Hurts!

President Obama is looking for a “legacy” piece of legislation to help salvage his flailing presidency.

During his State of the Union Address on Tuesday, he expressed his desire to “work together this year on bipartisan priorities like criminal justice reform ....”

The “reform” bill he wants is the sentencing bill that has a lot of Republican support in the Congress (H.R. 4321/S. 2123).

In fact, the Republican Judiciary Committee Chairman in each chamber -- Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley and Virginia Rep. Bob Goodlatte -- are leading the charge on this legislation.

But truly constitutional conservatives like Ted Cruz of Texas and Jeff Sessions of Alabama have opposed this legislation -- and even voted against the bill in the Judiciary Committee.

These pro-gun Senators oppose the sentencing reform for good reason.

This legislation would increase prison sentences for gun owners, at the same time as it lets tens of thousands of drug dealers loose on the streets.

And it could come up in the Senate in a few weeks.

Which leads us to an obvious conclusion: If Mitch McConnell brings up the anti-gun sentencing bill, senators MUST amend it to repeal Obama’s anti-gun “executive actions.”

It’s bad enough that Republicans are pushing this anti-gun bill, while seeking our votes.

But to pass Obama's anti-gun “legacy” sentencing bill, while doing NOTHING about the unconstitutional anti-gun executive actions which Republicans claim to oppose would tell us, once and for all, that the GOP is as contemptuous of the Second Amendment as the Democrats are.

So please contact Senator Ted Cruz. Thank him for opposing the anti-gun sentencing bill. And urge him to offer amendments to defund every element of Obama’s illegal “executive action” if Majority Leader Mitch McConnell forces the bill to the floor.

And contact Senator Mitch McConnell. Tell him that you are opposed to moving the anti-gun “Obama legacy” sentencing bill at the same time Obama is spitting on the Constitution through his unlawful “executive actions.”

Please take action today! At the very least, this anti-gun bill needs to go to the floor with amendments outlawing every part of Obama's anti-gun executive action.

"The FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of private email as secretary of state has expanded to look at whether the possible “intersection” of Clinton Foundation work and State Department business may have violated public corruption laws, three intelligence sources not authorized to speak on the record told Fox News.

This new investigative track is in addition to the focus on classified material found on Clinton’s personal server.

"The agents are investigating the possible intersection of Clinton Foundation donations, the dispensation of State Department contracts and whether regular processes were followed," one source said.

Clinton, speaking to the Des Moines Register, on Monday pushed back on the details of a second investigative track. According to reporter Jennifer Jacobs, Clinton said Monday she has heard nothing from the FBI.

"No, there’s nothing like that that is happening," Clinton said, according to a tweet from Jacobs.

Experts including a former senior FBI agent said the bureau does not have to notify the subject of an investigation.

The development follows press reports over the past year about the potential overlap of State Department and Clinton Foundation work, and questions over whether donors benefited from their contacts inside the administration.

The Clinton Foundation is a public charity, known as a 501(c)(3). It had grants and contributions in excess of $144 million in 2013, the most current available data.

Inside the FBI, pressure is growing to pursue the case.

One intelligence source told Fox News that FBI agents would be “screaming” if a prosecution is not pursued because “many previous public corruption cases have been made and successfully prosecuted with much less evidence than what is emerging in this investigation.”

The FBI is particularly on edge in the wake of how the case of former CIA Director David Petraeus was handled."

"North Korea claimed it detonated a hydrogen bomb in a test Wednesday, a move that was condemned by the U.S., Britain, Japan and even China. It was the politically isolated country's first nuclear weapons test explosion in three years.

Experts said the claim that the test involved a hydrogen bomb, which is more powerful than an atomic bomb, could not be confirmed. The White House said that initial analysis of the test was not consistent with a successful hydrogen bomb.

The report on the state KCNA website came within hours of reports from various agencies that a large earthquake had been detected near a known North Korean nuclear test site.

According to KCNA, North Korea tested a miniaturized hydrogen nuclear bomb "in the most perfect manner," putting it in possession of hydrogen bomb capability, which it described as "the most powerful nuclear deterrent."

North Korea wanted what it called "the H-bomb of justice" as protection from the "ever-growing nuclear threat and blackmail by the U.S.-led hostile forces," according to KCNA.

It would use the weapons only if its sovereignty were encroached upon, the statement on KCNA said, but would not roll back its nuclear development until the U.S. had dropped its "vicious, hostile" policy toward the isolated Communist state.

"The U.S. is a gang of cruel robbers which has worked hard to bring even a nuclear disaster to the DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korean], not content with having imposed the thrice-cursed and unheard-of political isolation, economic blockade and military pressure on it for the mere reason that it has differing ideology and social system," according to the statement.

"The present-day grim reality clearly proves once again the immutable truth that one's destiny should be defended by one's own efforts," the statement went on. "Nothing is more foolish than dropping a hunting gun before herds of ferocious wolves."

"Meadowlark Lemon was one of the finest and most decent people I’ve ever known.

Like most of my era, I remember, as a boy, my father taking me to see the “Clown Prince of Basketball” and the Harlem Globetrotters. However, it will be Meadowlark “The Man” that I was fortunate to get to know later in life and whom I will always remember.

Meadowlark Lemon was a man of faith who loved people, and believed in giving back.

Born in Lexington, South Carolina, Meadowlark and his family moved to Wilmington, North Carolina, where he grew up. After playing basketball at Florida A&M and a stint in the US Army, it was on to the Harlem Globetrotters. Meadowlark quickly emerged as the most famous Globetrotter at a time when they could defeat almost any NBA team.

We think of Meadowlark for his on-court antics, but he was a great basketball player and an even greater person.

Speaking to inner-city youth at a Salvation Army event I was involved in a few years ago, Meadowlark told the kids that, “There’s no excuse in missing a free throw shot. It’s free. They’re giving it to you. Take it!”

Meadowlark knew what he was talking about. His lifetime free throw percentage of 97 percent is the best of anyone who has ever played the game.

Meadowlark had his own Christian ministry and it touched many. He prayed with President Ronald Reagan in the Oval Office and he witnessed to and prayed with Alabama Governor George Wallace at his bedside."

If You Care About Trump’s ‘Schlonged’ Comment, You’re a Dumb Schmuck

"The fuddy-duddies are out in force.

There are plenty of reasons to label Donald Trump vulgar: his attacks on Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)’s war record, his oblique reference to Megyn Kelly’s menstruation. But for those tut-tutting Trump’s characterization of Barack Obama’s 2008 run against Hillary Clinton – lighten up.

Here’s what Trump said. “Everything that’s been involved in Hillary has been losses,” Trump averred. “Even her race to Obama, she was going to beat Obama. I don’t know who’d be worse. I don’t know. How does it get worse? She was favored to win and she got schlonged.”

Schlong, of course, is Yiddish for penis. So she got reamed. Or screwed. Or any other plethora of English-language equivalents.

But no, Trump’s vulgarity is suddenly the talk of the town. Not Hillary’s lies about Trump appearing ISIS promotional videos. The fact that Hillary Clinton must face down that awful sexist New Yorker who made a foreign-language reference to a penis.

Well, bring forth the fainting couch.

Jennifer Palmieri, Hillary’s campaign communications director, tweeted, “We are not responding to Trump but everyone who understands the humiliation this degrading language inflicts on all women should.”

Yes, Hillary surely feels degraded by Trump’s comments. Hillary, that delicate little flower who campaigns with a woman who labeled her 5-year-old sister “sex property” and dropped a false rape allegation against an innocent man. Hillary, that Arkansas belle who attacks her husband’s sexual assault victims. Hillary, that magnificent specimen of feminism, who laughs at legally defending a child molester. Hillary, that blooming rose of womanhood, who rides her husband’s semen-stained coattails to the White House.

What will she do if she hears the word “schlong”?"

The People Vs. Barack Obama: The Criminal Case Against the Obama Administration

THE "RIGHT HAND MAN" OF BEAR BRYANT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA

THE "RIGHT HAND MAN" OF DON SHULA DURING THE 1972 MIAMI DOLPHINS PERFECT SEASON

Coach Howard Schnellenberger, Passing the Torch: Building Winning Football Programs...with a Dose of Swagger Along the Way.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

One of the most colorful and successful football coaches of the last half century is ready to tell his story for the first time. Howard Schnellenberger learned his trade from two of the all-time greats, Paul "Bear" Bryant and Don Shula, winning championships with each mentor.

Schnellenberger then took the football torch that was passed to him and became a trans formative head coach at three universities. All three have now nominated him for the College Football Hall of Fame. For all of his personal triumphs, there have also been instances of crashing and burning. He was fired as head coach of the Baltimore Colts after a sideline showdown with the owner of the team.

He walked away from the University of Miami to try to make his fortune in the ill-fated USFL. A move to the University of Oklahoma ended in humiliation. The coach talks about the wise decisions and the poor decisions he has made, and he shares the lessons he learned along the way.

Schnellenberger's career has brought him into combat alongside or across the field from many of the greats. His high school teammate was the future Heisman Trophy winner and Green Bay Packer star Paul Hornung.

Schnellenberger was an All-American player at Kentucky in 1952 at a time when players played both offense and defense. He later recruited or coached a stunning array of quarterbacks, including Joe Namath, Kenny Stabler, Jim Kelly, Bernie Kosar, Vinny Testaverde, Bert Jones, Roman Gabriel, Bob Griese and Earl Morrall.

Schnellengerber served as offensive coordinator while helping Alabama and Bryant claim national championships in 1961, 1964 and 1965. His early career also included serving as offensive coordinator for Don Shula and the Miami Dolphins in 1972 during the only perfect season in NFL history. Schnellenberger took over a University of Miami program that was contemplating dropping the sport in 1979 and instead led them to 46 wins in 5 years and a national championship in 1983.

He established a swagger at the U and set the school on a path to five national championships in two decades. He dabbled with Donald Trump at the upstart United States Football League that sued the NFL for antitrust violations. In 1985 he returned to his hometown and took over another struggling program at the University of Louisville. After three losing seasons, he built them into a football power. His time there was capped by a 10-1-1 record in 1990 that included a Fiesta Bowl victory over Alabama.

He retired from coaching in 1995, having been part of four college national championships. Coach Schnellenbeger managed an encore performance, though, that is a crowning achievement.

He came out of retirement in 1998 at age 64 to start a football program at Florida Atlantic University. His team became the youngest program ever to receive a bowl invitation. He won that game and was awarded the Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year award. The next year his Owls won another bowl game, making the coach 6-0 and the winning-est undefeated coach in bowl history.

Coach Schnellenberger retired again after the 2011 season, but not before building a 40,000 seat on-campus football stadium. A statue of the coach stands guard at the FAU stadium. In Louisville, a 60,000-seat stadium is part of the Howard L. Schnellenberger Football Complex that he fought to have built in that city. Schnellenberger saved football at two proud universities. He launched football at a third.

He has sent more than 60 college stars on to professional football careers. His stories about those players and the secrets to his remarkable success are the subject of this memoir.

Your career success depends on your ability to promote yourself correctly. For workers and job seekers at all levels, Gillis offers six tips on how to "express to impress" to those who matter most -- higher-ups and hiring managers. Sample talking points:

Don't assume that your boss knows exactly what you do.

You're at the mercy of your manager. Yet it's unlikely he has more than a general idea about what you do beyond the minimum he expects.

Embrace the difference between articulating your value and bragging.

When done properly, self-promotion is not bragging. It is informing.

Adopt an accomplishment mindset and narrative.

To prove your indispensability to an employer, you need an inventory of your on-the-job accomplishments -- the things that express your commercial value to the business.

Quantify your worth.

You were hired because someone trusted that you'd either make or save the company money. You needn't be a bona fide revenue generator or accomplish earth-shattering feats like inventing the iPhone to quantify your worth.

Source and shape your success stories.

To begin, look at old resumes, business planners, and performance reviews. Then reach out to personal and professional contacts. No emailing. To bypass generic responses, you must do this by phone. Period.

Master the three-part accomplishment statement.

Every one of your accomplishments must be crafted into a single three-part statement. You'll convey what you did, what that resulted in, and the value or net result. For example: "Created a digital filing system that resulted in 300 man hours saved per week, enabling the company to save $6 million annually."

John E. Wade II, author, investor, and millionaire, reveals in his memoir, The Bipolar Millionaire and the Operation, his personal struggle with bipolar disorder and his experience being the focus of an all-encompassing and benevolent entity he calls the Operation.

Wade takes the reader through his family experiences, political aspirations and beliefs, spiritual journey, relationship trials and errors, battle with mental illness, and how he feels he has been cured of the detrimental aspects of bipolar disorder. With the help of a unique and powerful network he calls the Operation, and through religious beliefs, personal perseverance, and the help of friends, family, and his mental health professionals, Wade lives an active, creative, and successful life.

His memoir doesn't end with contentment at achieving a balance in his life, however. Instead, Wade expresses a determined vision for the future, aiming to assist humanity in finding lasting peace and prosperity through his writing, political, and spiritual endeavors, as well as through being the focus of the ever-pervasive Operation.

"The Federal Trade Commission’s data-security enforcement efforts have received a setback—at the hands of the commission’s own in-house judge.

Administrative Law Judge D. Michael Chappell late Friday dismissed a long-running and sometimes bitter case involving LabMD, a former medical testing company the FTC accused of failing to provide reasonable or appropriate cybersecurity protections for patient data.

The FTC’s civil case against LabMD had focused largely on the potential exposure of a 1,718-page company report that contained names, dates of birth, social security numbers and other information about 9,300 patients. Online security firm Tiversa found the document on a peer-to-peer file-sharing network in 2008.

After discovering the file, Tiversa contacted LabMD and sought to sell the company data security services, which the firm declined, according to the judge’s ruling. Tiversa later reported to the FTC that LabMD had exposed sensitive patient information, the ruling said.

LabMD, a Georgia-based firm, went out of business in early 2014. The company’s owner and chief executive, Michael Daugherty, has been an unusually aggressive FTC critic, writing a book about his experiences during the commission’s investigation, entitled “The Devil Inside the Beltway.”

Mr. Daugherty said the FTC probe and lawsuit were costly, burdensome and unfair, contributing to the company’s demise. “Yeah we won, but what did we win? We’re dead,” he said. The FTC, he said, “has way too much lopsided power.”

Save Yourself! Three Smart Email Strategies that Can Save Your Job!

By Mike Song

As Hillary Clinton, CIA leaders, Sony executives and countless other professionals have recently learned, a single email can damage your career aspirations, reputation, marriage or company’s stock price. Here are 3 useful strategies that every professional should use to avoid getting destroyed by email and other forms of e-communication:

Take an Anger Management Timeout.

The biggest problem with intense emotion is momentum. When someone ticks you off and the hair stands up on the back of your neck, you start typing like a train gathering speed, and you just won't be happy until you've hit the send button and gotten your revenge. When that angry email bomb gets forwarded to your boss or the media, it's either a PR or HR disaster and the first victim is always you. One message can get you get fired or send the stock price of a company into a tailspin.

Solution: Scream into your pillow, but don't scream at colleagues, friends, or family members via email or social media. Be circumspect. Take 24 hours, cool down, and take the high road! When your abrasive or underperforming colleague sees that you aren't going to lash out, they will think of you as a super-cool professional. And sometimes – when you’re flat wrong – the 24 hour rule saves you from looking like a complete idiot! A little frustration is OK – but anger and sarcasm are deadly.

Avoid ALL Conjecture.

In the case of Sony, playful conjecture about stars and politicians – what movies would the president like? – rapidly turned into a PR nightmare. One of my pharma clients hired me after they got hit by a $5 million lawsuit. An employee had "wondered" in an email if their drug could cause a cardio side effect. When real problems emerged years later, this email--which had no basis in fact -- cost them big time. When we wonder, hint, joke, use innuendo, or make statements about stuff we don't fully understand, that can lead to painful, career-limiting discussions with HR and Legal.

Solution: Stay away from the grey! This means avoid grey-area discussions and theories --try to stick to facts. If you aren't certain of all the facts, shut up, step away from your iphone and gather info. Focus on what people actually do vs. what they might do in certain hypothetical situations. Leave the murky scenarios to your competition and take the high road via factual statements. Be smart, be concise, be clear and you will stay out of trouble. Remember, email is slippery and sticky--it slips out of your outbox and out of your control --but it sticks in the real world forever! There's no recall button with email.

Dump the Personal Junk.

That questionable joke, harmless flirtation, or your unfiltered feelings about your spouse or world events could hurt you! Do you vent via IM or text to a close colleague? These seemingly innocent messages can be easily found by new software that sweeps everyone's email for keywords. Other software allows your company to see your keystrokes even when you are on your personal Gmail account! Joking about a terrorist? Slamming the personal habits of your customer or competitor? Hate a prominent politician? Bad idea. Your company owns your email--they can look at it anytime. Heck, they may be looking at it right now. That's their right, and you could get fired for something you are doing in your personal life.

Solution: Living a good, clean life is the obvious first step. Avoid snarky sexist, racist, ethnic, or political commentary on the job. But also, be smart. Treat every message from every device--smartphones, tablets, and PCs -- like it's going to be uploaded and disseminated to millions via YouTube, Vine and Facebook. How does that message look now? If the answer is….Yikes...then stop before it’s too late!

"Austrians are arming themselves at record rates in an effort to defend their households against feared attacks from Muslim invaders.

Tens of thousands of Muslim “refugees” have poured into Austria from Hungary and Slovenia in recent months on their way to Germany and Sweden, two wealthy European countries that have laid out the welcome mat for migrants. More than a million will end up in Germany alone by the end of this year, according to estimates from the German government.

Obtaining a working firearm and ammunition in Germany, Britain, Denmark and the Netherlands is practically impossible for the average citizen. Germany, for instance, requires a psychological evaluation, the purchase of liability insurance and verifiable compliance with strict firearms storage and safety rules. And self-defense is not even a valid reason to purchase a gun in these countries.

The laws in Austria, while still strict, are a bit less overbearing.

A Czech TV report confirms that long guns – shotguns and rifles – have been flying off the shelves in Austria, and Austrians who haven’t already purchased a gun may not have a chance to get one for some time. They’re all sold out. And those arming themselves are primarily women.

“If anyone wants to buy a long gun in Austria right now, too bad for them,” the Czech newscaster says. “All of them are currently sold out.” He cites the Austrian news outlet Trioler Tageszeitung as the source of his report.

“We cannot complain about lack of demand,” Stephen Mayer, a gun merchant, told Trioler Tageszeitung. He claims the stock has been sold out for the last three weeks and that demand is being fueled by fears generated by social changes.

“People want to protect themselves,” Mayer said. “Nonetheless, the most common purchasers of arms are primarily Austrian women.” They are also buying pepper sprays, which Mayer said are in big demand among those who can’t get a gun."

If you want to know what the single biggest vulnerability is for identity theft and credit card fraud in your name, that's easy: it's using your card at major retail stores that have repeatedly been breached by hackers.

Using outdated kiosk computers to process sales, retailers have allowed clever thieves to install viruses that silently relay customers' credit card info back to them. This is how Target negligently let thieves pilfer 70 million card numbers, it's how Home Depot allowed 56 million credit card numbers to be stolen, it's how Michaels' stores – well, the list goes on. But that's how it happened.

Facing these disasters, big box stores might work to increase the security on their own systems, that, according to the Identity Theft Resource Center, a non-profit organization that monitors identity theft and assists victims, are the number one cause of data breaches.

Alas, the stores' have decided to instead to rely on slick lobbying campaigns and well-compensated political allies to confuse the issue. Specifically, the retailers have been clamoring for banks and credit card companies to issue cards with four-digit PINs.

PINs are annoying to consumers and, from a security perspective, relatively worthless. A four-digit numerical password is inherently insecure because there are only 10,000 unique combinations. A computer can generate all of them in under one millisecond, making “brute force” attacks completely painless for any mildly sophisticated criminal.

Indeed, law enforcement officials in Europe, where credit card PIN use is more prevalent, have observed thieves adapting, sometimes by waiting to view someone key in their PIN before stealing their card.

But what's easy for a computer is sometimes difficult for the average person, who carries four cards in their wallet, to remember. For these reasons, experts consider PINs to be headed shortly to the scrapheap of history, to be replaced by much more sophisticated approaches like encryption and tokenization.

That doesn't mean that PINs can't be a useful cudgel for the retailers, who are looking to use the issue as a wedge that prevents them from upgrading their outdated technology faster.

Enter noted computer security expert (I jest) Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), who weighed in on the issue this week in a letter to the FBI.

Durbin complained the FBI hadn't included language about PINs in the final version of its consumer bulletin that even the newest types of credit cards can still be vulnerable to fraud.

The bulletin “raises significant questions about...whether the FBI is taking appropriate steps to warn against and deter payment card fraud involving lost or stolen cards,” Durbin wrote.

For the second-ranking Democrat in the Senate, Durbin sure is shameless about plugging for the big box stores, which have consistently poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into his campaign coffers, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics. Some would say it's the Chicago way.

You may remember a major lobbying dust-up over credit card “interchange fees” about five years ago. Then, Durbin led the charge to put price controls in place on how much Visa, Mastercard and other companies could charge stores to process their payments.

The government-set prices were supposed to help consumers, but that turned out not to be the case, as studies since then have showed the big box stores just took home the extra profit and laughed their way to the bank.

Look, it's one thing to nakedly fight for your own bottom line in a clear business-on-business K Street war.

It's another to alarm consumers with warnings about a discredited security technique when your own stores (and Durbin's own donors) are the ones practically giving their customers' credit card numbers to fraudsters.

Shame on Senator Durbin.

"Russian warplanes have destroyed a surface-to-air missile launcher that the Islamic State terrorist group previously captured from the Syrian Army, the Russian Defense Ministry reports. The bombing campaign in Syria is forcing the jihadists to flee.

The 9K33 Osa short-range air defense launcher was destroyed by a Sukhoi Su-34 bomber in Eastern Douma near Damascus, ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov told the media in his Thursday daily briefing.

The Su-34 dropped a precision anti-fortification bomb KAB-500 at a concrete shelter, where the launcher was hidden, destroying both the weapon and the building, he added.

Osa, which is called Gecko by NATO, is a highly-mobile launcher equipped with six short-range surface-to-air missiles meant to provide tactical cover from enemy aircraft to ground troops.

The launcher was destroyed during one of 33 combat missions that Russia conducted in Syria over the day. A total of 32 targets in the provinces Idlib, Hama, Damascus, Aleppo and Deir ez-Zor were hit, Konashenkov said.

The general added that terrorist forces appear to be abandoning their positions and are pulling back."

"Wofford College will host the Commander-in-Chief Presidential Forum, featuring Republican presidential candidates, from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15, in Leonard Auditorium in Main Building on the college’s campus.

All major Republican presidential candidates have been invited to participate in the event, part of the Hipp Lecture Series on International Affairs and National Security, which brought the 2011 Republican Presidential Candidates Debate presented by CBS to Wofford’s campus. The event is co-sponsored by the South Carolina Republican Party.

The Commander-in-Chief Presidential Forum will be moderated by former S.C. Gov. David Beasley. It will be free and open to the public.

“Whoever America elects as its new commander-in-chief in 2016 will be facing the most complex national security and foreign policy situation that a president has ever faced,” Hipp says. “In short, electing a commander-in-chief who can keep America safe so that we remain free will be the dominant issue of the presidential campaign. I’m pleased that the Commander-in-Chief Presidential Forum, hosted by Wofford College and co-sponsored by the South Carolina Republican Party, will exclusively address these issues.”

Matt Moore, chairman of the S.C. GOP, notes the importance of South Carolina in presidential races. “South Carolina’s Republican primary presents an important test for candidates. For a generation, no Republican candidate has won the White House without first winning support from South Carolina’s diverse and informed Republican voters. This forum will bring important issues in this race to the forefront, and we are pleased to be a part of the event.”

Founded in 2011, the Hipp Lecture Series on International Affairs and National Security is designed to create signature events at Wofford. The goal of these events is to capture the attention of students and the public, and draw them into important conversations on applying American leadership and ideals to the challenges of international affairs past, present and future. The lecture series is made possible through the generous donations of Wofford alumnus Van D. Hipp Jr. (Class of 1982).

Hipp, chairman of American Defense International Inc. in Washington, D.C., recently released his latest book, “The New Terrorism: How to Fight It and Defeat It.”** Hipp has been immersed in defense and security matters since 1990 when he was appointed deputy assistant secretary of the Army for reserve forces and mobilization.

Procrastination has met its match:

A book that offers realistic and practical solutions to
procrastination relying on tested behavioral tools rather than
shaming.

Twenty percent of Americans are chronic "procrastinators” and a study
among college students has found that up to 95% have problems associated
with procrastination. If that isn't bad enough, research has found that
procrastination can adversely affect heart health.

Beyond Procrastination: How to Stop Postponing your Life (FreshLife
Coaching), the latest book by certified life coach and sociologist, Renate
Reimann, PHD, gets to the root causes of procrastination by helping readers
discover their triggers for delaying. She then lays out proven methods for
dealing with those triggers. Exercises and checklists personalize each reader's
experience. And for those with short attentions spans, she offers quick tricks
that can yield immediate results.

Throughout the book Dr. Reimann encourages readers to let go of any guilt
they may feel because they sometimes procrastinate. Feeling ashamed only
hastens the downward postponement spiral. For similar reasons, she doesn't
believe that labels like "procrastinator” are helpful or accurate. When thinking
of oneself as a procrastinator, the focus is on one's personality rather than the
concrete delay issues which makes it harder to overcome procrastination.

In addition to much discussed practical reasons for procrastination such as time
management and organization, and hot button psychological causes for
postponement such as fear and anger, Dr. Reimann also dives into socio-
cultural explanations of why we procrastinate more than ever. Expectations of
always being up to date, endlessly competing at home and abroad and working
during and after hours, take their toll. Many of us use procrastination to escape
that pressure. Ironically, devices like smartphones that add to our sense of
feeling overwhelmed, are also the ones that constantly invite us to
procrastinate, checking social media sites, surfing the web and playing games.

Readers will also learn how to:
• Reclaim their time
• Recognize when they get stuck
• Use enjoyable activities to break procrastination
• Implement sustainable behaviors that eliminate delays

Beyond Procrastination is an excellent tool for all ages that nurtures while it
guides readers toward overcoming delays and achieving their goals.

At age 19,with an alcohol-induced sense of bravado, McDougall began work as a miner in Northern Ontario - a career he remained in for 22 years, but that became a metaphor for the dark, desolate underworld where his alcohol-fueled existence led.

In unflinching detail, Breaking Through exposes the hideous underbelly of addiction. Despite the pain inflicted on his family, the loss of his marriage, and the toll on his health, McDougall only hit rock bottom when his body finally
Rebelled. The day came when he couldn't take a sip of alcohol without throwing up. He contemplated suicide, but fortunately turned instead to his United Steel Workers (USW) union's Employee Assistance Program for help.

So began McDougall's struggle to claw his way out of his personal cave-in to a new life of sobriety and hope. In a compelling story that interweaves humor, reflection, and unwavering honesty, he portrays the rollercoaster of emotions - from anger to humility to elation - experienced while reclaiming a ravaged life. He transforms from childish, or self-centered, to childlike, or other-centered, as he learns to re-engage with and delight in other people and the world of possibilities surrounding him.

McDougall's inspirational quest to become a motivational speaker, through both intention and serendipity, is instructive for anyone at a crossroads trying to change their lives. Now a sought-after speaker and international coordinator of
USW's emergency response team, McDougall spreads his message of hope, while also infusing real ty mined from his personal depths of despair.

McDougall describes:

•When dealing with addicts, it’s important to hate the addiction but love the person
•The paradox that strength only comes from admitting one's weakness
•Why those seeking change find that help magically appears once you're sober
•How AA's "Promises" serve as inspiration for change

With Breaking Through, McDougall sheds light on the tortured path of the alcoholic and, through his own instructive and inspirational story, how it is possible to climb out of the darkness into the light.

The brothers Kendrick, both Alex and Stephen have come together to produce a film that America desperately needs right now. War Room is a very open discussion on the power of prayer. This topic is not one that our main stream media would discuss. Their agenda seems to support the notion that being Christian is somehow politically incorrect.

However, the apparent success at the box office of this film would support a different conclusion. It would seem that it is very clear that people are afraid and don't know where to begin a process to lessen that fear.

War Room offers that guidance. Priscilla Shirer, in the lead role of Elizabeth, is a woman fighting with her husband and for her marriage when she finds an unlikely partner in an older, devout woman longing to share the power of prayer.

Karen Abercrombie is Miss Clara, an elderly, godly woman who begins to mentor Elizabeth. Miss Clara knows about love, loss and fighting the right battles in the right way: by prayer. Give me an hour a week and I will teach you how to fight the right way with the right resources, says Miss Clara. Elizabeth learns how to direct her voice to God.

The timing of this film could not have been better. As Alex said, just look around. There is a fight to win on every corner and this fight is for the very soul of our country.

It is widely agreed by experts that practical, affordable energy storage for homes as well as the grid is the key missing component required to allow widespread use of renewable energy. This is because the sun and wind often do not supply energy when it is needed, and when they do the electricity provided is so highly variable that it destabilizes the grid.

Storage technologies today are: too expensive to build and operate, limited in the amount and length of time they can store energy, and many are made out environmentally harmful materials.

We have developed a new storage technology that solves these problems: a solid state, non-chemical battery that stores energy as heat. For example, 180 kWh for our home size unit, compared to 10 kWh for a well know new chemical battery. Enough for weeks-not hours, of use per charge. In a small footprint. With no toxic or rare materials. At a competitive cost.

And, this battery can also provide the energy needed for heat, hot water, cooling, & freezing plus pure water for a family, a hotel, or a factory. In an easy to operate and maintain device that is both scalable (from 100 MW to 100MW per unit) and modular.

Over the past six years, we have designed and field tested 3 generations of a new thermal storage technology for large-scale applications such as grid and the steel industry that now only solves the storage problems, but makes it possible to save most of the 60% of the energy contained in fuel now going up the stack as waste heat.

We believe that this technology will prove to be a game changer, leading to a true paradigm shift in energy system design and sustainability.

Our technology is based upon the age-old method used to contain very high temperature molten phase change metal mass with layers of refractory. This thermal containment approach is based on the phenomena of “thermal dynamic quasi stasis,” as I have described in my US Patent. This is the same way the planet earth has contained it molten core for several billion years.

Our third generation can be mass-produced as we no longer build the refractory layers by hand. This generation can store slightly more than 100 MW of usable thermal energy in an 18 cubic meter containment.

We want to package units for smaller-scale applications: factory, commercial, and residential use. Typical home unit can provide 170-180 kilowatts hours of electricity on a single charge plus sufficient heat energy for heat, cooling and clean water production. Its electric capacity is 100x that of any comparable battery system. No other back up system provides both electric/heat & cooling and can do so on a continuous basis to substantially reduce energy bills. We are about to launch a crowdfounding Campaign with Indiegogo the cover some of the cost of getting prototypes built and UL certification of this small version of our thermal battery. We hope you will be interested in this important new product for your own needs, and help us get the word out and build interest in this very exciting technology.

Harry Cooper is the founder and President of Sharkhunters International, an organization dedicated to U-boats and World War II history. The group was started in 1983 and today the organization has around 7,800 members in 76 countries. The organization professes to include some high profile political and military members. Cooper is a military veteran, former race car driver and expert in WWII and National Socialist (Nazi) history. We’ll discuss the formation of Sharkhunters and the compelling evidence regarding Hitler's escape to South America, that came from a Spanish spy named Don Angel Alcazar de Velasco. Angel’s testimony included a 114-page, single-spaced letter that told of his experiences in the “Führerbunker” with Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun. Alcazar claims to have witnessed the couple forcibly drugged under orders of Party Chancellery Martin Bormann, then removed from the bunker and taken to South America. We proceed to discuss the escape route and how they ended up on the Brazilian island Trindade and how they set up consequent villages and small towns in South America. Cooper tells us of the many witnesses he encountered in his travels to South America, and those who have claimed to have seen Hitler alive and well after the war. Harry also visited the house in Patagonia, Argentina where it’s said that Hitler lived for many years. Cooper asserts that the intelligence community knew that Hitler did not die in Germany. The FBI and CIA allegedly knew Hitler was living in Argentina from 1945 onward. Later, we discuss Villa Baviera (Colonia Dignidad), the Nazi Bell and the Neu Schwabenland Antarctica expedition.

"Iran, in an unusual arrangement, will be allowed to use its own experts to inspect a site it allegedly used to develop nuclear arms under a secret agreement with the U.N. agency that normally carries out such work, according to a document seen by The Associated Press.

The revelation is sure to roil American and Israeli critics of the main Iran deal signed by the U.S., Iran and five world powers in July. Those critics have complained that the deal is built on trust of the Iranians, a claim the U.S. has denied.

The investigation of the Parchin nuclear site by the International Atomic Energy Agency is linked to a broader probe of allegations that Iran has worked on atomic weapons. That investigation is part of the overarching nuclear deal.

The Parchin deal is a separate, side agreement worked out between the IAEA and Iran. The United States and the five other world powers that signed the Iran nuclear deal were not party to this agreement but were briefed on it by the IAEA and endorsed it as part of the larger package.

Without divulging its contents, the Obama administration has described the document as nothing more than a routine technical arrangement between Iran and the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency on the particulars of inspecting the site.

Any IAEA member country must give the agency some insight into its nuclear program. Some countries are required to do no more than give a yearly accounting of the nuclear material they possess. But nations- like Iran - suspected of possible proliferation are under greater scrutiny that can include stringent inspections.

But the agreement diverges from normal inspection procedures between the IAEA and a member country by essentially ceding the agency's investigative authority to Iran. It allows Tehran to employ its own experts and equipment in the search for evidence for activities that it has consistently denied - trying to develop nuclear weapons."

From the very beginning of the first GOP presidential debate, Donald Trump was in the spotlight and under fire from Fox News commentators. The first question asked for a show of hands of all candidates who would not pledge to support the Republican presidential nominee. Only Donald Trump raised his hand, which led to the first of many confrontations during the debate. He was challenged by moderator Brett Baier and lambasted by Senator Rand Paul for “buying and selling politicians.” While Trump declared that he wants to “run as the Republican nominee,” he is wise to keep his options open.

The Republican establishment is terrified of Trump, who can finance a third party campaign and is independent of special interests. They will continue to mercilessly attack him, hence Trump is smart to maintain “leverage” and keep open the third party alternative.

It may also provide a needed choice for the American people. If the presidential nominees are Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Jeb Bush, or another RINO, Trump should enter the race to give voters a real alternative. The last thing the country needs is another Bush or Clinton in the White House.

In fact, in a three way race between Clinton, Bush and Trump, there is a possibility that Trump may win. There is great dissatisfaction with political dynasties and millions of Americans would refuse to vote for either Clinton or Bush, giving a well-funded third party candidate like Trump a chance.

There is certainly precedent for a strong third party candidacy. In 1992, Texas businessman Ross Perot was leading the presidential race before he exited amid claims that he did not want to throw the election into the House of Representatives. He later said he left the race because he was concerned that Republicans were planning to disrupt his daughter’s wedding. When he returned to the campaign months later, his prospects were severely diminished. Nevertheless, he finished with almost 19% of the vote, the highest third party total since Theodore Roosevelt in 1912.

Unlike Perot, who destroyed his chances when he abandoned the race, Trump would be a more formidable third party contender. He has universal name recognition, billions of dollars to spend, and no need to placate special interests or big donors. Clearly, the GOP establishment, and their media lapdogs, will try to destroy his chances. This is exactly what happened during the Fox News debate. After being immediately confronted on the third party question, Trump spent the rest of the debate fending off queries about his bankruptcies, his stand on abortion and Obamacare, his treatment of women, and his previous support of Democrat candidates. Throughout it all, Trump stayed on the offensive and refused to apologize.

This stance was extremely popular with the vast conservative audience of the Drudge Report website. After 531,000 votes were tabulated, Trump was declared the winner by over 45% of the voters, far outpacing second place finisher Senator Ted Cruz who received just 14% of the vote. While the public loved Trump's performance, so-called experts such as analyst Charles Krauthammer and pollster Frank Luntz panned The Donald's showing. In true Trump fashion, he blasted Luntz as a “low class slob.”

Clearly, Trump's best chance for victory would be as the GOP nominee. Obviously, he would prefer to win the Republican nomination; however, he may be subjected to impossible hurdles as the race progresses.

While a third party candidacy is not the ideal scenario for Trump, he definitely needs to keep it as an option as the race progresses. It is too early to determine what will happen, but we do know that since Donald Trump is involved, practically everyone will be watching.

"When former first lady Nancy Reagan sent out invitations to the next Republican presidential debate at California’s Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, she reminded the contenders — and the country — what a class act the Reagans brought to the White House.

And what the act currently appearing there is really lacking.

In her true-to-form classy style, Reagan invoked her late husband’s memory and doled out compliments for 16 presidential hopefuls as she summoned them to the event set for Sept. 16.

My husband was humbled and honored to be president of the United States. I heard him say on more than one occasion that he was only given temporary custody of the presidency, but I know from very personal experience that it was the role of his lifetime,” Mrs. Reagan wrote.

“Debates are a crucial part of the election process, and I’m thrilled that so many qualified candidates have the opportunity to be heard at the Reagan Presidential Library.”

Does anyone think the current occupant of the White House could be described as “humbled and honored to be president of the United States”?

CNN’s Jake Tapper will moderate the debate which all GOP contenders are expected to attend, except for former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore. Gilmore is the only contender who didn’t meet CNN’s criteria of having an average of 1 percent support in three recent national polls."

Mark Everson, is a Former IRS Commissioner and is the 18th declared Republican candidate seeking the 2016 GOP presidential nomination. .

"I want to like Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 92% (R-Florida). In fact, I want to love him. I want to support him for president.

I thought his debate performance was magnificent. He was clear, concise and consistent. It’s clear Rubio has a Reaganesque speaking and communications skills lacking in the DNA of most GOP candidates.

But I cannot.

While Rubio might have Reagan’s communication skills, he lacks Reagan’s core principled beliefs, particularly when it comes to federalism.

Rubio ran and was elected as an outsider. Yet within moments of arriving in the U.S. Senate he decided to hold hands and get into bed with liberal Democrat Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on immigration. That bothers me. No doubt. But what bothers me more is Rubio’s willingness to abandon principles to help big money donors and contributors even when they trample of core constitutional principles.

First, it is clear that Rubio has decided to play footsie with billionaire establishment donor Sheldon Adelson in order to win the “Adelson primary.” The winner of the “Adelson primary” can be the beneficiary of millions of dollars in political spending.

Adleson cares about three issues — Israel; a prohibition on Internet gaming and re-establishment federal power and regulation on marijuana policy. In two of the cases — Internet gambling and pot regulation — Adelson’s position runs counter to that of a limited federal government.

Gambling has always been regulated by the states. Each state has a different law and a different way of dealing with the issue. Hawaii and Utah have no legal gambling while other states allow everything from lotteries to riverboat gambling. Whether you support gambling or not, this is the proper way to regulate it — is in 50 state legislatures and not in Washington.

In comes Mr. Adelson. Adleson stood by and watched New Jersey and two other states legalize online gambling for their residents. Instead of pressing his case in Trenton and other state capitals, he turned to his friends in Washington to overturn these state laws. Mr. Rubio and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) 44% (R-SC) were willing to lend a helping hand, introducing legislation drafted by Mr. Adleson’s personal lobbyist.

During a recent radio interview, Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Michelle Minton noted that legislation proposed by Rubio and Graham would redefine intrastate commerce conducted by two parties on the Internet both within a state as interstate commerce to be regulated by the federal government. This radical expansion of federal power will limit Adelson’s competition — state regulated online gaming.

Then Rubio also declared war on Colorado and other states that have legalized marijuana. Rubio, in concert with the Adelson’s position, is the only GOP candidate willing to have the federal government enforce a war on pot, even against states that exercised their right to legalize the plant. So much for a limited federal government and granting power to the states.

It’s not just Adelson issues that Rubio is willing to sell his soul. At a recent gathering of libertarians, Rubio defended his stalwart support of the sugar subsidy by saying he would only oppose the subsidy when other countries abandoned their subsidy programs. Of course, the beneficiary of the sugar subsidy is the Fanjul Brothers, the most powerful sugar tycoons in the world. It’s no surprise the Fanjul family are political contributors to Mr. Rubio.

Rather than being a principled conservative, Rubio is more of a Simon Cameron conservative.

Cameron is, of course, Lincoln’s Secretary of War who said, ” An honest politician is one who, when he is bought, will stay bought.”

Michelle Minton, is the Director of "Sindustry Studies" at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, where she promotes Liberty by defending the likes of gamblers, smokers, drinkers, junk food eaters, & insurance agents (basically one and the same).

If something's desirable it ought not to be necessary to force people to buy it.

Chipotle, for instance, doesn't need to spend millions in de facto bribes ("campaign contributions") to wheedle Congress into passing burrito subsidies. Nor are you forced to eat at Chipotle if burritos and bowls are not your thing.

Why doesn't the same apply to "renewable" fuels, specifically - ethanol and biodiesel? If they are viable alternatives to gasoline - if they are better than conventional fuels - why must people be forced to subsidize them?

Required to buy them?

It's a question that ought to be asked more often - which might result in crony capitalist hog-troughers (this time dressed in "green" livery) shoving their hands in our pockets less often.

But that's probably just why it's not asked.

Neither ethanol nor biodiesel can make it on the merits. Hence the need for government muscle.

You probably know all about the oceans of money ($6 billion annually; see here) diverted from taxpayers to a handful of massive agribusiness cartels - not mom and pop family farms - to "encourage" the production of ethanol (corn alcohol) which is then mixed in with the supply of what used to be gasoline - but which is now 10 percent ethanol (E10).

The agribusiness cartels get rich. American drivers get adulterated fuel that has less energy content per gallon, is corrosive to the fuel systems of older cars and power equipment such as lawn mowers - and causes newer cars to be less fuel-efficient than they'd be if they were fed pure gasoline. The diversion of cropland to the production of ethanol feedstock has also made food more expensive.

Corn that ordinarily might have fed cattle - which would then feed us - instead goes to feed the ethanol stills.

Beef costs more - and costs more to ship.

"Donald Trump thinks the United States will not see another black president for some time because Barack Obama has "set a very poor standard," the billionaire businessman, entertainer and Republican presidential candidate told ABC News on Sunday. Trump -- who has questioned whether Obama was born in the United States and was once sued by the Justice Department because the management of his apartment complexes allegedly discriminated against black tenants -- also thinks he'll win the black vote.

Trump responded to a question on the show about a tweet he sent last year saying America would not see another black president for generations because of how poorly he thought Obama had done.

"He has done nothing for African Americans. You look at what's gone on with their income levels. You look at what's gone on with their youth. I thought that he would be a great cheerleader for this country. I thought he'd do a fabulous job for the African American citizens of this country. He has done nothing," Trump said.

"They have problems now in terms of unemployment numbers, look at their unemployment numbers. And you have -- here you have a black president who's done very poorly for the African Americans of this country," Trump said. "I think that I will win the African American vote and I think I will win the Hispanic vote."

Trump also distanced himself from his past praise of some of his current opponents, basically acknowledging he only said nice things about them in the past because he needed good relationships with politicians for business purposes.

Trump also would not rule out a third-party run for office, saying only that he wouldn't run as an independent if he was treated fairly by the Republican party."

Pastor Aubrey Shines, a Chicago native, began ministering in the Cook County Correctional System in Chicago, IL as an evangelical minister licensed by the late Bishop D. Husband (Churches of God in Christ). In 1987 God moved greatly upon Pastor Shines’ heart and he became founder of Glory To Glory Ministries. The ministry has since transcended denominational, cultural, and ethnic boundaries. Glory To Glory Ministries is now located in the inner city of Tampa, Florida. Over the past twelve years, this congregation has grown tremendously because of the anointing that God has placed on Pastor Shine’s life. In September of 2014, Glory to Glory Ministries International will extend its boundaries by opening the doors of ministry in their second location, Glory to Glory Ministries of Orlando, Florida. Pastor Shines most recent accomplishment is being one of the seven founders of the International Communion of Evangelical Churches organization under the dynamic leadership of Presiding Bishop Harry R.

"A distinguished historian with over a decade inside the US Department of Defense shows how the downsizing of our armed forces lowers the nation’s defense and puts us at risk.

In this stunningly detailed account of US military power in the Obama era, Mark Moyar reveals how Obama’s military decisions have led to the international catastrophes of his second term. While our current downward spiral did not grab the attention of the American people until 2014, Moyar finds its roots in Obama’s first-term decisions to shrink the US military and replace large overseas military commitments with “light footprints.”

Obama’s preoccupation with his political self-interest has consistently trumped the national interest. Moyar documents how Obama has failed to deliver on his substitutes for military power. Cutting through the chaff of partisan bickering with penetrating analysis, he homes in on the events and personalities driving failures across the globe.

Moyar illustrates how Obama’s policies led to the rise of ISIS, and how conditions are primed for future cataclysms. He shows how the killing of the US ambassador at Benghazi was the result of a light-footprint approach in Libya, and reveals the problems stemming from our reliance on drone strikes. The ongoing military drawdown and international perceptions of Obama’s passivity have heightened the risks to America from her enemies.

Drawing upon the lessons of Obama’s presidency, Moyar concludes by identifying a better way for US national security in the twenty-first century. Strategic Failure is a timely and fascinating opening salvo in the looming 2016 showdown between Republican and Democratic presidential contenders."

This podcast is a conversation with Ms. Vicky Oliver concerning the impact of today's Hiring Managers utilizing more and more social media to cull job applicants.

The topics that were discussed is why you should treat social media very carefully and how to be very selective which social media you participate in. For example, using LinkedIn instead of facebook.

Statistics from Career Builder show that 46% of the job candidates are turned down for inappropriate photographs or information and that 32% of the job candidates are turned down due to poor communication skills. These were all found on the job candidates social media sites.

Vicky is an award winning author of several books on career development. Her advise has been featured in over 700 media outlets, including the front page of the New York Times Job Market section.

"A firestorm of chatter in the political class was set off this weekend by a New York Times article revealing that Vice President Joe Biden is revisiting running for president. With that has come questions as to whether it’s too late, could he win the primary and is he a viable general election candidate? The simple answer: Yes. Why? All thanks to the opening created by fellow Democrat and apparent leader Secretary Hillary Clinton. Right now, Biden appears to be everything that Clinton is not.

Looking back on the 2012 election, the exit polling made it clear that character, not issues, were a top deciding factor when going to the polls. Though sometimes by just a hair, Romney almost always came out on top when issues-related polling questions such as, “Which candidate do you trust to do a better job of handling the economy?” were asked. However, when the question, “Who do you think better understands the economic problems of people in this country?” were asked, Obama handily dominated.

Voters related to Obama, felt they could trust him, and believed he shared their values. This is the exact dichotomy that Biden could bring to the Democratic primary if he were to enter the race. It is the void created by Clinton and her campaign that Biden could fill.

With Biden, what you see is what you get. He is approachable, warm, and he embraces people. He doesn’t stand in a Chipotle line in a key swing state and not say a word while hiding behind his aviators. He does the opposite and mixes and mingles as he did at a Jamaican restaurant in Miami last year. In a possibly foreshadowing sign, he autographed the restaurant wall right above Hillary Clinton at Rosalie’s Cucina in Skaneateles, NY. There have been some questionable moments of embrace, like the time he rubbed the incoming Defense Secretary’s wife’s shoulders while whispering into her ear at a press announcement. But those are the moments the public love too and help make him real, like the crazy funny uncle we all have."

April 12, 2015--Montgomery Blair Sibley, an attorney based in Maryland, became the second person in United States history to file a federal lawsuit against members of Congress for failure to call an Article V Convention as required by Article V of the United States Constitution with the filing of a federal complaint in Washington, DC. The first person to file this type of lawsuit was the author of this article who filed two cases, Walker v United States in 2000 and Walker v Members of Congress is 2004. The latter suit was appealed to the Supreme Court.

As announced in his blog Sibley filed his suit on April 9, 2015 in the Superior Court for the District of Columbia, Civil Division. The defendants in the case are Majority leader Mitch McConnell of the United States Senate and John Boehner, Speaker of the House of Representatives. The complaint seeks a declaratory judgment and a writ of mandamus by the court requiring Congress to call an Article V Convention. It requests an advisory jury trial rather than a decision by the court itself. According to Mr. Sibley, the Superior Court was chosen as the court of choice because “it is an Article I federal court where ‘standing” is not a legal bar to the claim.”

In the past the federal government has asserted standing, or lack of the right to sue, as the basis to deny any lawsuit filed requiring Congress to obey the Constitution and call an Article V Convention. However, the latest Supreme Court ruling made in 1939, Coleman v Miller (the basis of the court rulings made in the two Walker lawsuits) states that any court ruling regarding the amendatory process in the Constitution is an “advisory” opinion. Advisory opinions do not require standing on the part of the plaintiff bringing the suit. Moreover the decision clearly states that while Congress has “exclusive” control over the amendment process, nevertheless, it is required to obey the Constitution. Article V gives no option to Congress on calling a convention if the states apply meaning Congress is peremptorily required to call the convention. It has been referred to by the Founders as “peremptory.”

In his complaint Mr. Montgomery lists 35 states which have submitted applications for a convention call. The Constitution mandates a convention call if two thirds of the state legislatures submit applications meaning 34 states must submit applications. Article V only requires applications by the states for a convention call to occur. It does not require submission of the same application from all states nor does it require the applications be for the same amendment subject. In all, 49 states have submitted a total of 766 applications for a convention call. To date, all applications have been ignored by Congress which, until recently, had not even bothered to tabulate the applications for purposes of counting, a necessary step to occur before a call can be issued.

According to court rules, the government has 60 days in which to respond to the complaint.

"Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rallied more than 10,000 Jewish leaders and activists to reject a recently inked nuclear accord with Iran that the Israeli leader believes “will bring war” to the region and provide the Islamic Republic with a nuclear weapon within 10 to 15 years.

Netanyahu, who spoke Tuesday afternoon on a conference call organized by the Jewish Federation of North America (JFNA), urged those on the call to do all they can to defeat the deal and stop the Obama administration from enacting it.

“This deal will bring war,” Netanyahu warned. “It will spark a nuclear arms race in the region. And it would feed Iran’s terrorism and aggression that would make war, perhaps the most horrific war of all, far more likely.”

“Oppose this dangerous deal,” Netanyahu urged the audience as he outlined what were described as fatal flaws in the agreement, which will provide Iran with billions of dollars in sanctions relief while temporarily halting its nuclear enrichment program.

Netanyahu also sought to “dispel some of the misinformation” and “disinformation about the deal and Israel’s position.”

His comments appeared to be a veiled reference to an aggressive campaign by the White House and senior Obama administration officials to discredit the deal’s opponents, particularly American-Jewish and Israeli leaders."

"A suicide car bombing near a U.S. military base in eastern Afghanistan that once hosted CIA employees killed at least 17 civilians Sunday, local officials said, the latest insurgent attack after foreign forces ended their combat mission there.

The bombing hit a checkpoint manned by members of the Khost Provincial Force, an Afghan unit that guards Camp Chapman for the American forces there, said Youqib Khan, the deputy police chief in Khost province. It wasn't immediately clear whether the bomber was trying to get onto the base or what led up to his attack, Khan said.

A local hospital received the bodies of at least 17 Afghan civilians, most women and children, said Dr. Hedayatullah Hamedi, the province's health director. He said the blast wounded six civilians, two of whom were in critical condition Sunday night, and that the death toll could rise.

"The explosion was so loud and strong that almost all of the city of Khost was shaken by the blast," provincial police chief Gen. Faizullah Ghyrat said.

The suicide bomber carried out his attack when many civilian vehicles were waiting to pass by on a main road, said an Afghan police officer who spoke on condition of anonymity as he wasn't authorized to discuss the attack. He said the women and children killed and wounded in the attack were in vehicles waiting for their turn to pass.

Foreign and Afghan forces blocked journalists and police from accessing the site after the blast. Pentagon officials referred comment to NATO authorities in Afghanistan. In a statement, NATO said "no U.S. or coalition personnel were injured as a result of the attack," without elaborating.

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the blast in the city of Khost, near Afghanistan's eastern border with Pakistan. Since U.S. and NATO troops ended their combat mission at the end of last year, local troops have been taking the brunt of attacks by the Taliban and other insurgent groups."

"Iran's supreme leader tweeted a graphic Saturday that appears to depict President Obama holding a gun to his head as Britain relaxed its travel advice to the nation, citing decreased hostility under the Iranian government.

"US president has said he could knock out Iran’s military. We welcome no war, nor do we initiate any war, but.." reads the caption above the tweet sent by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on @khamenei_ir, his English language account.

Khamenei's account has not been verified by Twitter but is widely believed to be the supreme leader's based on its content, which often rails against the United States and Israel. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani also has an unverified Twitter account, @HassanRouhani.

The latest tweet on Khamenei's account mirrors a similar one sent July 17 that didn't contain an image, but said: "US pres. said he could knock out Iran’s army. Of course we neither welcome, nor begin war, but in case of war, US will leave it disgraced."

That tweet came just three days after the United States and other world powers reached a historic agreement with Iran that called for limits on Tehran's nuclear program in return for lifting economic sanctions that have crippled Iran's economy.

Meanwhile, the British government eased its travel advice to Iran on Saturday, saying it no longer advises "against all but essential travel to the rest of Iran" and has "updated our advice to provide greater clarity on the risks that may affect British nationals traveling to Iran."

The government still maintains its advice to avoid travel in some areas, particularly along Iran's borders. "Our policy is to recommend against travel to an area when we judge that the risk is unacceptably high. We consider that continues to be the case for specific areas of Iran, notably along Iran’s borders with Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan," British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said in a statement.

"But we believe that in other areas of Iran the risk to British nationals has changed, in part due to decreasing hostility under President Rouhani’s government," he added."

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) head Gina McCarthy wrote that we have a “moral obligation to prevent climate impacts that threaten God’s creation, especially for those most vulnerable.” (“Obama officials: Power plant rule part of a ‘moral obligation,’” July 13.) But we also have a moral obligation to use our God-given brains to think rationally about the issue.

It is clearly irrational for McCarthy to focus most of her agency’s climate-related programs on vainly trying to stop climate change, something that has been happening since the origin of the atmosphere, billions of years ago.

It is clearly irrational, indeed immoral, for the EPA administrator to encourage a situation in which, of the $1 billion spent globally every day on climate finance, only 6 percent of it is dedicated to helping vulnerable people adapt to climate change today. The rest is wasted trying to stop phenomena that McCarthy wants us to believe will someday happen if we don’t follow the steps she proposes.

It is both irrational and immoral that, because of the climate scare, 6.5 percent of the world’s grain now goes to fuel instead of food, causing food price spikes in the developing world.

It is stupid and unethical that 1.2 billion people still lack access to electricity even though their nations have plentiful fossil fuel resources. People like McCarthy make it far more difficult for poor countries to get the money they need to develop these sources.

It is a tragedy that millions of birds and bats die each year in collisions with industrial wind turbines, massive machines built to supposedly stop climate change. Even more serious are the ruined lives of hundreds of thousands of people who are subjected to 60-story turbines erected close to their homes.

Or how about the hard-working Americans who will lose their jobs as coal, the most important source of electricity in the U.S., is rapidly phased out, electricity rates soar and companies close down or relocate overseas?

Finally, it is clearly irrational — indeed inexcusable — for McCarthy to refer to carbon dioxide emissions as “carbon pollution.” Besides the fact that CO2 is no more “carbon” than are any other of the thousands of compounds that contain carbon, CO2 is a benign, colorless, odorless gas on which all plant life depends, the very opposite of pollution.

Yes, Ms. Administrator, climate change is a moral issue. But you and your allies are the cause of many of these ethical tragedies.

Smart people impress us with their intellectual power and uncanny ability to achieve their goals. But being smart is not always sufficient to keep leaders out of trouble and sustain their success over time. In Prasad Kaipa book, "From Smart to Wise - acting and leading with wisdom", Prasad offers a different and counterintutive approach to leadership that goes far beyond just being smart.

Wise leaders, Prasad argues, is the cultivation of a broader experience and responding to external events with discernment, flexibility, and most importantly, authenticity.

Prasad identify's six key capabilities that all leaders, both smart and wise share. They are, perspective, action orientation, role clarity, decision logic, fortitude, and motivation.

"The Supreme Court showed themselves to be justices of supreme foolishness with the permanent decision that homosexual marriage is a constitutional right. They ruled this affirmation of Gay marriage without any proof whatsoever that homosexuality is inborn. They have simply assumed that homosexuality is a productive variant of sexuality. But history teaches us that never before in the course of human events has any nation vaulted homosexuality to the height of marriage. Even the ancient Romans never did this, even though they approved of pedophilia.

Their argument was essentially the same as our own Supreme Court…Love. However, this issue is not really about love or marriage. This is about the normalization of homosexuality within the fabric of every society on the planet. The court’s ruling says forever more that Gay sex is wonderful, loving, an inherent right, created by God, and will forever unify the world in the last great civil rights campaign in history.

And yet…what will America do when it finds out through emerging scientific and anecdotal evidence that homosexuality is not inborn, but is caused by the heartbreak of gender identity inferiority and unmet childhood needs for love, affirmation and affection? What will America do when this dysfunction plays out in skyrocketing behaviors such as the still growing population of young men 20-25 who are at the highest risk for AIDS because their repressed dysfunction arises in the form of uncontrolled sexual desire?

What will America do when it suffers an exponential rise in rates of Gay “divorce,” violence, drug use, and sexual diseases, which are all endemic to Gay culture? The other secret no one is talking about is that because sexuality is fluid, our children will certainly be open to homosexual feelings exponentially as well, and like the now infamous book, “The End of Gay” says, in time, everyone will be enjoying everyone in expression of all sexualities."

"Jerry B. Jenkins' books have sold more than 70 million copies, including the phenomenal Left Behind series, minting him as one of the best-selling novelists of all time.

In his latest release, Empire's End: A Novel of the Apostle Paul (Worthy Publishing, June 9, 2015), Jenkins tells the heart- stopping story of a man who single-handedly turned the Roman Empire on-end.

The Apostle Paul is a biblical giant who wrote almost one-third of the New Testament, yet most details of his life remain a mystery. How could a devout Pharisee become the most influential Christian theologian of all time? Into that void steps master storyteller Jerry B. Jenkins, weaving a gripping narrative that illumines Paul's stunning transformation from bloodthirsty murderer of Christians to devoted bondservant of Christ.

In Empire's End, Jenkins suggests answers to some pressing questions about Paul:

* What was his thorn-in-the-flesh?

* What went on in the trenches of his life, beyond the pages of the biblical letters he left behind?

* How did he navigate the perilous path from killing Jesus' followers to becoming one of their most trusted leaders?

* Did he ever fall in love, and if so, how did that romance shape him?

* What thoughts and feelings most profoundly haunted, inspired, and fueled his intensity?

The release added that thanks to Empire's End, we need no long peer into Paul's life only as through a glass darkly. This inventive, page-turning novel is steeped in bravado and bloodshed, conflict and deep devotion, romance and political maneuvering. The result is a can't-put-it-down thriller crafted to satisfy any curious. observer's longing to meet a flesh-and-blood man whose mission and message ultimately triggered the end of the great Roman Empire."

The American Freedom Alliance, a think tank and policy network based in Southern California, has announced the convention of an international conference to address the historical consequences of the sealing of the Magna Carta at Runnymede in England on June 15, 1215.

The Magna Carta, sealed by King John, was a means by which English barons sought to check the arbitrary power of the monarch as it related to their own property and personal interests. Yet among its 63 clauses are found the beginnings of representative government, equality before the law, parliamentary rule and many of the liberties enjoyed by individuals throughout the West today.

The Conference, titled Magna Carta: The 800 Year Struggle for Human Liberty, will take place over two days, Sunday evening, June 14 and Monday morning, June 15, 2015 at the Luxe Sunset Blvd Hotel in Bel Air. The Conference will link with ceremonies at Runnymede in the United Kingdom, commemorating the events which took take place there in 1215; it will call on former and current world leaders such as the former prime-minister of Australia John Howard and Hon. Daniel Hannan, to offer their commentary of the fundamental importance of the Magna Carta in the development of the common law and the many protections that arose thereafter to safeguard property and personal rights against encroachment by the government.

"This conference was established as a means of addressing the rapid evaporation of interest by scholars, academics and the general public in the centuries long battle for the achievement of what today we regard as basic human rights, but would not have been possible without the initial bold action of the Magna Carta" said Avi Davis, President of the American Freedom Alliance. "We will also pay homage to and examine the role of the the Anglosphere, those countries settled by and associated with the United Kingdom who jointly contributed to the spread of liberty and the safeguarding of human rights."

TANK COMMANDER, COLD WARRIOR, TERROR WARRIOR, & INTEL OFFICER SPEAKS OUT

"The U.S. will spread about 250 tanks, armored vehicles and other military equipment across six former Soviet bloc nations to help reassure NATO allies facing threats from Russia and terrorist groups, Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced Tuesday.

Carter's announcement, made as he stood with defense chiefs from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, comes a day after he announced that the U.S. would have other weapons, aircraft and forces, including commandos, ready as needed for NATO's new rapid reaction force, to help Europe defend against potential Russian aggression from the east and the Islamic State and other violent extremists from the south.

The defense chiefs standing with Carter all spoke bluntly about the threat they perceive from Russia, and the latest military plans provide a show of solidarity across the region and in NATO.

Estonia Defense Minister Sven Mikser said the Baltic leaders aren't trying to restart the Cold War arms race or match Russian President Vladimir Putin "tank for tank," but the additional military presences will be a deterrent to Russia and could change the calculous.

"In global terms Russia is no match conventionally to U.S. or to NATO, but here in our corner of the world, Putin believes that he enjoys regional superiority," Mikser said, adding that Estonia is eager and ready to accept the equipment immediately.

Each set of equipment would be enough to outfit a military company or battalion, and would go on at least a temporary basis to Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Romania. Carter said the equipment could be moved around the region for training and military exercises, and would include Bradley fighting vehicles and self-propelled howitzer artillery guns.

Germany will be participating in the expanded military effort, but already has U.S. equipment."

June 18 was the official release date of the Pope’s encyclical on climate change. Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI’s) Mr. Myron Ebell provides this assessment of Pope Francis’s statements, lamenting the neglect of how energy policies that count on bad climate facts can actually end up hurting the poor and perpetuating energy poverty.

“Pope Francis argues in his encyclical that the developed nations have a moral responsibility to reduce greenhouse gas emissions because climate change threatens poor people in poor countries the most. However, poor people in poor countries lack access to the modern energy and technologies that allow people to deal with environmental challenges. The Vatican seems to have forgotten to consider the effects that energy-rationing policies to reduce emissions will also have on poor people in poor countries. Putting the world on an energy-starvation diet will consign billions of people to perpetual energy poverty.

Global warming is a moral issue, but a proper moral evaluation must include comparing the impacts of global warming, which may be bad, with the impacts of global warming policies, which will almost certainly be catastrophic. The Pope’s encyclical misses that significant matter.

The Vatican appears to have been very ill advised in preparing the encyclical. It has been announced that two of the experts consulted were Hans Joachim “John” Schellnhuber of the Potsdam Institute and Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University. Mr. Schellnhuber has advocated for the rapid de-industrialization of the West and for a world government to achieve environmental salvation and enforce population control. Mr. Sachs has promoted misguided developmental policies in the Third World that have helped to stymie development and perpetuate poverty.”

Myron Ebell is director of the Center for Energy and Environment at the Competitive Enterprise Institute and chairs the Cooler Heads Coalition, which comprises over two dozen non-profit groups in this country and abroad that question global warming alarmism and oppose energy rationing policies.

Ebell has appeared as a guest on numerous television shows, including the ABC Evening News, NBC Nightly News, PBS News Hour, BBC Newsnight, BBC World, CNBC, CNN, C-SPAN’s Washington Journal, MSNBC, ITN, Voice of America, Televisa, Sky TV, Al Jazeera, PBS’s NOW, Fox News's Special Report with Bret Baier, O'Reilly Factor, and Hannity and Colmes. He has spoken frequently on a variety of BBC radio news shows and on hundreds of radio talk shows.

Ebell's writings have appeared in a variety of publications, including the New York Post, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Washington Post, Forbes, London’s Guardian, Standpoint Magazine, Riverside Press Enterprise, Philadelphia Inquirer, and Environmental Law Forum.

Donald Trump’s announcement on Tuesday has been called rambling, xenophobic, and circus like–by Democrats and Republicans. Here are a few of Trumps “ramblings” from Tuesday:

Our labor participation rate was the worst since 1978.

We have a disaster called the big lie – Obamacare.

We’ve got $18 trillion in debt, we’ve got nothing but problems.

Our enemies are getting stronger and stronger by the day and we as a country are getting weaker.

We have people that are morally corrupt. We have people that are selling this country down the drain.

These are some of the cards that have been dealt to the next presidential contenders. So what is the GOP doing to win over the hearts and minds of voters? Enter the TPP, The Trans-Pacific Partnership. John Boehner and crew are trying to ram through the TPP…again. A treaty that no one wants and no one has read–much like Obamacare, which caused the Democrats to lose control of the House in a midterm election. Is it any wonder why Trump calls politicians stupid?

60% of voters believe Hillary is a liar. 62% of GOP voters won’t vote for Trump, and Trump knows this. Trump sees this challenge as an opportunity. Some in the GOP purport that Trump is damaging to the Republican brand. Republicans lost two major elections to a community organizer. The GOP brand, before Trump came along, was already damaged.

Trump has built a brand synonymous with success. He is an artful deal maker and negotiator. He was mentored in real estate by his father. He takes “risks” by speaking directly and truthfully. Hillary Clinton has built a brand synonymous with lying and scandals. Her mentor was Saul Alinsky, a community agitator and socialist who authored “Rules for Radicals” and dedicated this book to Lucifer.

Trump’s campaign has also been accused by the Clinton/George Soros propaganda wing “Media Matters” of hiring an actor or two to wear tshirts and wave signs. The horror! If Hillary Clinton wasn’t charging $200,000 an hour, maybe Trump could have hired her. She has been acting as the champion of everyday Americans for quite some time now, yet the champion of income inequality and gender justice paid women on her staff 30% less than men. As Secretary of State, she tried to ‘reset’ Russia by presenting them a red, plastic button. I watched that “negotiation” in horror.

In the Art of the Deal, Trump lays out 11 Trump cards for negotiating deals:

(1) THINK BIG

(2) PROTECT THE DOWNSIDE AND THE UPSIDE WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF

(3) MAXIMIZE YOUR OPTIONS

(4) KNOW YOUR MARKET

(5) USE YOUR LEVERAGE

(6) ENHANCE YOUR LOCATION

(7) GET THE WORD OUT

(8) FIGHT BACK

(9) DELIVER THE GOODS

(10) CONTAIN THE COSTS

(11) HAVE FUN

It is no question that Trump will be using these cards in his upcoming negotiations with the American people and the press as he seeks the presidential nomination. The GOP, should stop flipping the bird to their base, pick up a few of these Trump cards, and thank Trump for the honesty and excitement he has injected into this race.

It’s the dirty little secret of parenting: Children take things from us. It starts with our sleep, time, and dignity. And it ends with our savings and, sometimes it seems, our sanity. And yet, somehow, in the end, it’s all worth it. That’s the strange, engrossing, occasionally bizarre phenomenon of fatherhood.

Part instructional guide, part meditation, and part war journal, THE DADLY VIRTUES is a collection of gut-busting chapters from an all-star lineup of essayists and humorists, edited by Jonathan V. Last. At a time when 40% of children are born out of wedlock with no father committed to raising them and when manliness – and one of its central components, fatherhood – often seems under assault in the popular culture, THE DADLY VIRTUES is a hilarious rallying cry in defense of dads everywhere.

Fatherhood is a mixed bag of fun, fury, and failure. So much is lost—no more catnaps during football commercials, no more exotic vacations or impromptu day trips. And yet, as acclaimed authors P. J. O’Rourke, Jonah Goldberg, Tucker Carlson, and others write, there is so much to be gained.

The book includes tongue-in-cheek encouragement and guidance through every stage of fatherhood, from pacifying babies to prepping for the senior prom, from cutting the umbilical cord to getting your first “Best-Grandpa” T-shirt. Topics include:

(1) P.J. O’Rourke on the uncanny similarity between fathers and turkey basters.

(2) Tucker Carlson on how to fill a kid’s life with adventure and excitement – without getting her killed.

(3) Stephen F. Hayes on why a sibling is the best gift your kid will ever receive – even if they resent you for it.

(4) Jonah Goldberg on the moral case for every family having a pet.

(5) Matt Labash on talking to your child about the birds and the bees – and why the birds and the bees aren’t anything like they used to be.

(6) Matthew Continetti on mastering the art of changing a newborn’s diaper while keeping his urine off the wall.

(7) Toby Young on the things fathers think, but never say – and why Machiavelli is the best guide to parenting you’ll ever read.

You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. Above all, you’ll want to be a dad – and if you’re already a dad, it will make you nostalgic for the best moments of fatherhood and a little less depressed about the worst.

"AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said that it was “conceivable” the AFL-CIO might not endorse Hillary Clinton and warned her of the consequences of taking the wrong position on trade in an interview with USA Today’s “Capital Download” released on Thursday.

Trumka said (relevant remarks being around 4:00) that he didn’t know where Hillary stands on TPA and TPP “I think she’s going to have to answer that. I think she won’t be able to go through a campaign without answering that, and people will take it seriously, and it will affect whether they vote for her or don’t vote for her.” Although he added that she may not know what’s in the deal, but once she reads it, she’ll have to take a position.

Trumka was then asked what the political ramifications would be if Hillary took a position “similar to the one she’s taken in the past when it comes to these big trade deals.” He answered, “It will be tougher to mobilize working people. It’ll be tougher to get them to come out excited and work to do door-knocking and leafleting and phone-banking and all the things that are going to be necessary for her if she’s the candidate and we would endorse her to get elected. It’ll make it far more difficult.”

"A British jihadi who slipped off to Syria under UK authorities’ noses last fall has penned a pocket manual called “A Brief Guide to the Islamic State [2015]” — assuring would-be jihadis they’ll have all the comforts of home and featuring artwork of an ISIS invasion of Israel on the cover.

Siddhartha Dhar, who’s close to radical cleric Anjem Choudary and marched in his pro-Sharia events, was arrested in Britain in September on suspicion of encouraging terrorism. He jumped bail and fled to the Islamic State with his pregnant wife, who later gave birth to a boy.

He now goes by the name Abu Rumaysah al-Britani, and a couple of months ago penned an essay defending the right of fellow Briton Mohammed “Jihadi John” Emwazi to behead people. “Take the gloves off, leave the political correctness aside and be totally honest with ourselves. Yes, violence can be justified – bombs, bullets, knives, air strikes etc. are needed for the right enemy and we should not be made to feel ashamed about it,” he wrote then, adding the “identity of Jihadi John is largely irrelevant; he is after all just another soldier following orders.”

Rumaysah and Choudary were arrested Sept. 25 along with seven others. He was released, didn’t comply with the order to turn over his passport and left for Syria. His past media appearances to promote radical Islam have included BBC and VICE News, and he told Channel 4 weeks before his UK escape that he’d be happy to renounce his British citizenship to live in the Islamic State.

“I hope that one day Britain gets to live under the Shariah as well,” he also told the network."

"Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina and Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton will cross paths Wednesday in South Carolina. And the Republican -- the only woman among the vast GOP field -- will try to show up Clinton by holding a regular old press conference.

Clinton has been under fire of late for avoiding reporters' questions at her campaign events. She did take questions last week in Iowa and New Hampshire, but has often walked away from the shouting throng penned behind the ropes.

"Carly Fiorina is speaking in downtown Columbia, SC on Wednesday. And guess what? So is Hillary Clinton," Fiorina spokeswoman Sarah I. Flores wrote in an e-mail Tuesday.

"We know it must be hard covering the Hillary for America But Against Transparency campaign," Flores said."

The headline above reflects the state of free speech and communication in the United States today. And if you are anti-gay marriage then you are homophobe. If you are in favor of supporting the police then you are a racist. And lastly if you’re anti-Hillary you’re sexist. I have written several pieces dealing with this issue of free speech and communications in the United States and the significant decline of open and free discussion of opposing views.

You may recall the incident last spring, when Brendan Eich the CEO of Mozilla was forced to resign, because he made a contribution to a ballot initiative in California, that was banning gay marriage. The gay community sent out e-mails, instant messages, and tweets encouraging their followers not to use the Mozilla search engine. The company board met and decided that the Eich had to resign in order to protect their company. In essence the gay community use blackmail to get their way. The gay community did not want anybody saying anything against gay marriage, any thoughts their opponents had were not of value, and so they should just shut up.

Eich of Mozilla never had a chance to discuss openly and freely why he was against gay marriage, his opinion didn’t matter. He was opposed to what they believed and therefore he had to be destroyed. My guess is that he will never be able to work in this industry again for he will always be tainted as a homophobe. I believe that in the 6+ years that Obama has been president that this idea of anti-free speech has accelerated. Any time somebody challenges a policy or decision of the president he or she is called a racist. Even Hillary, when she was running for the presidential nomination of the Democratic Party in 2008 said that it was appropriate that people should have right to criticize President Bush. But when it came to Obama, we do not have the right to criticize him for his policies or his bad judgment because if we do we are called racist. Now the president finds himself at odds with many of his fellow Democrats in the House and Senate over issues that are important to them. The Senate recently voted 98 to 1 in favor of requiring President Obama to bring the Iran treaty to be reviewed before it is effective. Now the junior senator from Massachusetts Elizabeth Warren (D) is challenging the president on his foreign trade bill. The president when asked about Warren’s objection said, “She is just wrong.” There was no discussion where she was wrong: she was just wrong.

One last example of the problems with communication is what happened in Baltimore. In almost any other City in America if the events would’ve happened that took place in Baltimore the race mongers would’ve been out in force. Baltimore has a black mayor; a black chief of police, black states attorney and a police force that was at least 50 percent black and the mayor suggests racial prejudice was still an issue. The mayor raised the question of racism and bias in the police force, she requested an investigation of her own police force, by the Treasury Department. If anybody raised the question about what happened to the 1.8 billion dollars given to the City of Baltimore from the president’s stimulus package, they were called racist.

We have a new word when we talk about freedom of speech, that word is but. The people in Texas had the right to hold their meeting in private. When people were asked should they have held a meeting? Do they have the right to hold the meeting is it free speech? A growing swell of people responded to the question. “Yes they do, but.” I have studied the Constitution for a long time and as I read the section concerning free speech I can’t seem to find the word, yes we have free speech but, is not in there. Whenever we put a qualifier on speech that is not free. You might disagree with gay marriage but that doesn’t automatically make you a homophobe. You may believe that the police charged in the incident in Baltimore are innocent until proven guilty under the law but you’re not a racist. You should be able to question the qualification of a person running for president without being called a sexist. If a society cannot have an open and free exchange of ideas without labels then a society is not truly free. What we as a nation must decide is how free do we want to be, or do we want a small minority of people thinking for us because we are to bigoted?

"Does Pamela Geller regret organizing the Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest that ended in gunfire?

No, she says confidently. In fact, she says, she probably saved lives by hosting the event and plans to have more just like it, with one difference: Next time, she'll be wearing a bulletproof vest.

"I will continue to speak in defense of freedom until the day I die," Geller said Thursday in an interview with The Associated Press, as a grim-looking personal security guard hovered nearby. "It's just that simple. It's not even a choice. It's a calling."

Geller has always hired armed security personnel to protect the scores of events she has spearheaded across the nation in recent years to decry Islamic extremism. But furor over Sunday's shooting in Garland, Texas, has led to a specific threat against Geller, posted on a website related to the Islamic State group, and the New York Police Department is taking it seriously. Now she doesn't travel anywhere without protection.

Geller said she believes she saved lives by hosting the contest because the two Muslim gunmen shot to death by police would have picked another soft target and killed innocent civilians.

"Would you regret saving lives?" she asked."

"A cybersecurity company faked hacks and extorted clients to buy its services, according to an ex-employee. In a federal court this week, Richard Wallace, a former investigator at cybersecurity company Tiversa, said the company routinely engaged in fraud -- and mafia-style shakedowns.

To scare potential clients, Tiversa would typically make up fake data breaches, Wallace said. Then it pressured firms to pay up. "Hire us or face the music," Wallace said on Tuesday at a federal courtroom in Washington, D.C.. CNNMoney obtained a transcript of the hearing. The results were disastrous for at least one company that stood up to Tiversa and refused to pay.

In 2010, Tiversa scammed LabMD, a cancer testing center in Atlanta, Wallace testified. Wallace said he tapped into LabMD's computers and pulled the medical records. The cybersecurity firm then alerted LabMD it had been hacked. Tiversa offered it emergency "incident response" cybersecurity services. After the lab refused the offer, Tiversa threatened to tip off federal regulators about the "data breach."

When LabMD still refused, Tiversa let the Federal Trade Commission know about the "hack." The FTC went after the lab, giving the company a choice: sign a consent decree (basically a plea deal which means years of audits and a nasty public statement) or fight in court. The CEO of LabMD, Michael Daugherty, chose to fight, because a plea deal would have tarnished his reputation and killed the business anyway, he said.

Daugherty lost that battle in 2014, having run out of steam. The lawsuit killed LabMD, which was forced to fire its 40 employees last year. "We were a small company," he said. "It's not like we had millions of dollars to fight this and tons of employees."

"The fight with the government was psychological warfare," he told CNNMoney. "There was reputation assassination. There was intimidation. We thought we were extorted. My staff and management team was demoralized. My VP left. My lawyer left." Daugherty launched a website and wrote a book about the ordeal. Cause of Action, a government watchdog group, picked up his case."

Over the last four decades,Asiahas beenthe primary engine of global economic growth. This year the economy in India is expected to grow more than 6 percent, according to the IMF and OECD.China,now the world's largest economy in purchasing-power-parity terms, issitting on $15trillion in bank deposits ,growing at $2trillion annually. And since opening its borders to global trade in 2012,Myanmar, formerly Burma,is creating an extraordinary entrepreneurial environment owing to its "greenfield" advantage: a rare opportunity to build a fit-for-purpose economy tosuitthe modern world.

What does this mean for global leaders? According to SHARON SCHWEITZER, an expert in intercul tural communication and international etiquette, Asia's economic force signifies a call to action: executives, entrepreneurs, and emerging leaders,whether they presently do business in Asia or not,would be well served to become culturally smart about their Asian counterparts. Only then, as opportunities knock,can they build successful,long-lasting businessrelationships.

Ms. Schweitzer recently made this task simpler and easier. In her new book AccesstoAsia: Your Multicultural Guide to Building Trust,Inspiring Respect,and Creating Long-Lasting Business Relationships (Wiley, 2015), she offers a one-stop guidebook to intercultural relationship building and international etiquette in 10 Asian countries: China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea,and Taiwan. Additionally, she explores the U.S.business culture for any leader seeking a deeper understanding of the United States..

Country bycountry, Schweitzer leaves no stone unturned. In Access to Asia she addresses it all-from belief systems to business etiquette, customs to communication styles. She also shares. advice and anecdotes from interviews with more than 100 business professionals and regional gurus.The result:a unique, user-friendly manual to help leaders gain cultural awareness and succeed in the relationship business in Asia.

A guiding theme in Access to Asiais Schweitzer's fundamental eight-question framework. For each one of the 10 Asian countries featured, leaders can go on a functional fact-finding mission:

1.How do people prefer to act-individually or as a group?

2.How are power and authority viewed?

3.How do people compare rules and relationships?

4.How do people regard time?

5.How do people communicate-directly or indirectly?

6.How formal or in formal do people tend to be?

7.How aligned are people's social and business lives?

8.How is the concept of women in business handled?
