  Instant New York Times BestsellerAmerica  was built on nine distinct virtues which shaped the character of  our  nation and made it great. Grit, manliness, individualism, merit, profit  and providence, dominion over our environment, thrift, and above all  pride in our country—these  qualities define us, and are the reason that  hundreds of millions of  people worldwide look to America for hope,  inspiration, and opportunity.But it’s precisely these virtues that  now are under attack by the radical Left of Barack Obama, Hillary  Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and their followers. America as we know it is  eroding before our eyes and becoming what Fox News Channel personality  and co-host of “The Five” Eric Bolling calls a “politically correct  nanny state.”  The rewards for individual achievement and hard work, our  basic constitutional rights, religious faith, national identity, and  capitalism itself, are being replaced by a dangerous socialistic  ideology that is the polar opposite of what our Founding Fathers  intended America to be. It’s time for us to wake up and heed the  clear-cut warning signs that America is heading in the wrong  direction--before we’re too far gone. Eric Bolling knows firsthand what  makes America great. Raised in a struggling blue-collar family in  Chicago, his parents showed him that hard work and firm values can get  you far in life. Those values drove him as a young baseball player to  being drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates, then success as a New York  Mercantile Exchange trader, and now his daily role on Fox News Channel. A  celebration of America that is informed by Bolling’s personal story, Wake Up America is a much-needed call to arms for America’s citizens to preserve and protect our country's present and future.

  Winner of the 2020 Baltimore History Prize, this is a gripping account of how a Federalist editor risked his life to defend his anti-war views.   With a bitterly divided nation plunged into the War of 1812, Alexander Hanson penned an anti-war editorial that provoked a violent standoff that crippled the city of Baltimore and left Hanson beaten within an inch of his life. This little-known episode in American history—complete with a midnight jailbreak, bloodthirsty mobs and unspeakable acts of torture—helped shape the course of war, the Federalist Party and the nation’s very notion of the freedom of the press. Josh Cutler’s history of the Mobtown Massacre offers a lesson in liberty that reverberates today.  “A compelling story that’s as timely today as it was two centuries ago.” —Congressman William R. Keating  “A remarkably vivid, engaging and very readable account of a brief but major event in Baltimore history . . . which reflected the sharp political divisiveness of the time at the start of the War of 1812, and had important implications for freedom of the press and the war itself.”—Charles Markell, board member, Baltimore City Historical Society  “A timely and scholarly examination of one man’s struggle for freedom of the press.”—Fred Dorsey, Howard County, MD historian  “Cutler’s book tells not only of politics of that era and the controversy of a war that ultimately led to the burning of the White House and the writing of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ by Francis Scott Key, but also how it challenged America’s devotion to a free press.” —The Baltimore Sun

  In this spirited survey of liberal lies and dirty tricks, Brad Miner, one of America's leading conservative insiders, offers a look at the American liberal tradition of slander, insult, and character assassination throughout history. Smear Tactics mines both today's papers and the classic campaigns of history for tales of liberal deception and manipulation. Tracing smears from the early days of our nation right through the run-up to the 2008 elections, Miner highlights the Left's most atrocious campaigns against:Soldiers: The media's attacks on our troops, from Vietnam to IraqThe Faithful: The Left's campaign to vilify Christians in American lifeEntrepreneurs: Is the American Dream dead? The Left says yes, and Girl Scout cookies, Wal-Mart, and Legos have all played a part.President Bush: He caused global warming and Hurricane Katrina? Smears against the man the Left loves to hate. As Brad Miner shows, American politics has never been a sport for gentlemen—but recent campaigns have proven dirtier than ever, full of negative ads, rumormongering, and worse. With the coming election a wide-open race, full of polarizing candidates of all stripes, the mud is about to start flying across the American landscape, and in Smear Tactics Brad Miner returns the fire—with a vengeance.

  The United States' military doctrine, as proclaimed by its Department of Defense, is to attain 'full-spectrum dominance… in the air, land, maritime and space domains and information environment… without effective opposition or prohibitive interference.' This is an agenda for global conquest – for an ever-expanding US empire. As America prepares for conflict with Russia and China, wars continue in the Middle East and North Africa, tens of millions are exiled from their homes whilst many more face famine. But there is not only hope for change in the air, there is active resistance. People all over the world are challenging the status quo by taking nonviolent action. Voices for Peace features some of the world's leading thinkers, journalists and activists, offering insight, inspiration and solutions to the world's most critical problems: nuclear war, environmental destruction and refugee flows.
  In the wealth of material presented here, Kathy Kelly talks about the Afghan Peace Volunteers and Standing Rock protesters in the USA, calling for global unity. Bruce K. Gagnon's piece on space weapons discusses South Korean activists' opposition to American weapons in their country. Brian Terrell challenges the legality of drone warfare and outlines the grassroots links being forged between US and Russian citizens. Noam Chomsky discusses US policies towards Russia and Syria, as well as South America, trade, ISIS and Ukraine. John Pilger talks about the Trump-Obama naval build-up around China and exposes Britain's 'deep state' connections to the Manchester terror attack. Former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney analyses the Charlie Hebdo attacks and the deep state in recent US history. Ilan Pappé offers an exclusive analysis of Israel's actions to ethnically cleanse Israel of Palestinians.

  Strategic nonviolent action has reasserted itself as a potent force in shaping public debate and forcing political change. Whether it is an explosive surge of protest calling for racial justice in the United States or a demand for democratic reform in Hong Kong or Mexico, when mass movements erupt onto our television screens, the media portrays them as being as spontaneous and unpredictable. In This Is an Uprising, political analysts Mark and Paul Engler uncover the organization and well-planned strategies behind such outbursts of protest, examining core principles that have been used to spark and guide moments of transformative unrest.This Is an Uprising traces the evolution of civil resistance, providing new insights into the contributions of early experimenters such as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.; groundbreaking theorists such as Gene Sharp and Frances Fox Piven; and contemporary practitioners who have toppled repressive regimes. Drawing from discussions with activists now working to defend human rights, challenge corporate corruption, and combat climate change, the Englers show how people with few resources and little influence in conventional politics can nevertheless engineer momentous upheavals.
