Resisting Trump's Shock Politics and Winning the World We Need
Resisting Trump's Shock Politics and Winning the World We Need

Review:Once again Naomi Klein uses her knowledge of shock and awe and the current political situation to educate us and even guide us toward a possible positive outcome in a climate that appears hopelessly far from our care of our common home. Amazingly current, a must read that keeps the reader looking forward to each page Read more

Two Treatises of Government (Everyman's Library)
Two Treatises of Government (Everyman's Library)

Review:The Second Treatise is a deep exploration of the fundamentals of governance, starting from man in a state of nature and the need to move to following rules of government. But I found it quite wordy and repetitive. Read more

March: Book Two
March: Book Two

Review:A graphic novel has the creative freedom to do some time travel along the narrative arc of our story. At a time when Euro-Americans feel discomfort while watching mob violence by people given sanction to throw gasoline and plant bombs, this history forces us to see exactly how dangerous it was to become a Freedom Rider--and how necessary that choice was. White supremacists still murder African-American ministers and Bible students. As a result of many generations of pushing social evolution, we ... Read more

In the Country We Love: My Family Divided
In the Country We Love: My Family Divided

Review:This was a good book. I love depressing memoirs and this fit the bill for 80% of the book. I didn't really like that it gave a weird 1/2 foreshadowing at the very beginning then goes all the back so then you know exactly when her parents get deported so you're not really getting into the full shock of it all for her. It wasn't like everyone didn't know, it says it on the book jacket but you otherwise it would have been more in keeping with the trauma of the story. She works hard to achieve her d... Read more

and the Brotherhood That Helped Turn the Tide of War

Review:This book will teach you who were the real heroes of World War II. I did not know how much the people of Poland contributed to the defeat of the Nazis and the truth will come out. Bravo to the brave men and women of Poland who saved democracy in Europe! A must read to all who love history. Read more

This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism
This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism

Review:Ashton Applewhite is the new Betty Friedan or Kate Millet for the fight against ageism. Like the best feminist texts, This Chair Rocks explodes a lot of the myths about aging and ageism that we all take for granted and accept unquestioningly, especially that there's something shameful about aging--that we need to hide it and pretend to be young as long as possible. Just like women before feminism accepted male assesstment of their value, older people accept the younger society's evaluation of ... Read more

Blocking the Left's Assault on Life - and Gender
Blocking the Left's Assault on Life - and Gender

Review:We need more true tellers. God Bless Matt Walsh for writing this book. The book gives a breakdown of the decay in our society, and Walsh boldly defends his points with reason and scripture. I've never read a book so fast, and I look forward to reading it again. Read more

The Second Amendment: A Biography
The Second Amendment: A Biography

Review:Finally a book which deconstructs the lies of the NRA. It is worth the read for people like myself who want to see the reformation of gun laws to protect our citizens from an Afghanistan-like scenario of potential sudden, random and spontaneous death and the annihilation of supposed "Constitutionalist" groups.
