  This is the story of an attempted coup d'état by rogue intelligence agents. The goal: to overthrow the presidency of Donald Trump and subvert the will of the electorate.Donald Trump's first 100 days in office were roiled by allegations of treasonous contacts between his campaign team and the Kremlin to rig the election. These outrageous charges first surfaced in the notorious “Trump Dossier,” an unverified document of suspect provenance, full of wild and salacious accusations. This dossier—filled with little more than gossip, rumor, and innuendo—was compiled by Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence operative who teamed up with the FBI and anti-Trump partisans. Hillary Clinton supporters paid for Steele’s work. When no news media would publish the unverified dossier, the ex-spook enlisted the help of a former UK ambassador to Russia, who arranged in turn for a former U.S. assistant secretary of state to get the document to Senator John McCain, in the hope that he would then bring it to FBI Director James Comey’s attention. McCain did just that.Comey himself played a critical role in the dossier ultimately going public, giving a confidential summary to President Obama and congressional leaders. It was immediately leaked by rogue spooks in order to demean, destabilize, and destroy Donald Trump’s nascent presidency.The dossier and this mythical intelligence are the basis for the phony claims about a Russia-Trump collusion to steal the election. No proof was found. No substantiation uncovered. Even Comey told Trump he was not under investigation for the Russian meddling charges.But that didn’t end the leaks or the allegations. Working in concert with liberal news outlets, these rogue spooks have formed a new Intel/Media complex that threatens our democracy. Rogue Spooks will reveal how it works.Readers of Rogue Spooks, from bestselling authors Dick Morris and Eileen McGann, will be shocked to learn the truth about the false accusations against President Trump in the flawed dossier. They’ll be interested to know how leaks to the media fueled the phony scandal, and how intelligence agencies will try to use the newly appointed special prosecutor to oust President Trump.

  On the Border with Crook is considered one of the best firsthand accounts of frontier army life, as the author of the book gives equal time to both the soldier and the Native American. John Bourke, the author of this book was a captain in the United States Army. He served as an aide to General George Crook in the Apache Wars from 1872 to 1883. As Crook's aide, Bourke had the opportunity to witness every facet of life in the Old West—the battles, wildlife, the internal squabbling among the military, the Indian Agency, settlers, and Native Americans. Bourke kept a diary in sequential journals throughout his adult life, documenting his observations in the West. He used these notes as the basis for his later monographs and writings. During his time as aide to General Crook during the Apache Wars, Bourke kept journals of his observations that resulted in this book.

His passages recounts General Crook's meetings with Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and Geronimo as the General attempted to sign peace treaties and relocate tribes to reservations.

  There are two sides to any given emotion: an outward-facing side and an inward-facing side. The emotion is partly about some externality. But the emotion also reflects your beliefs as to how, if at all, you can deal with the situation in question, should it materialize, and also with your degree of willingness to make the necessary adaptations.

  Mercy - Showing Kindness to the...

  Mercy is a profound expression of kindness, compassion, and forgiveness, often extended to those who may not seem to deserve it. It goes beyond simple generosity, as it requires an intentional choice to withhold judgment or punishment in favor of grace. Unlike justice, which demands fairness and consequences, mercy offers a second chance, a moment of reprieve that can change the course of a person’s life. It is an act of the heart, one that acknowledges human weakness yet chooses understanding over condemnation. 
  Throughout history, mercy has been revered as a virtue, praised in religious teachings, philosophy, and moral discussions. It is a force that has shaped civilizations, influenced legal systems, and guided personal relationships. In many cultures, it is considered not just an act of goodness but a moral responsibility. Leaders who have shown mercy, whether in governance, war, or interpersonal dealings, are often remembered with admiration, their compassion seen as a mark of true wisdom. Conversely, the absence of mercy has been linked to cruelty, oppression, and suffering, demonstrating how vital it is in maintaining harmony in society. 
  Mercy and grace are often confused, but while they share similarities, they are not identical. Grace is the act of giving blessings freely, often without any expectation or prerequisite, while mercy is specifically about withholding deserved punishment or hardship. When someone extends mercy, they acknowledge wrongdoing or imperfection but choose to respond with kindness rather than retribution. This makes mercy one of the most powerful ways to heal relationships and restore dignity to those who have fallen short.
