Historia
We expect our judges to be honest and wise. Their integrity and impartiality are the bedrock of the entire judicial system. We trust them to ensure fair trials, to protect the rights of all litigants, to punish those who do wrong, and to oversee the orderly and efficient flow of justice. But what happens when a judge bends the law or takes a bribe? It’s rare, but it happens. Lacy Stoltz is an investigator for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct. She is a lawyer, not a cop, and it is her job to respond to complaints dealing with judicial misconduct.

I really enjoy JG’s books. This one was interesting and kept my attention. It also could be a reflection of current day situations that revolve around greed and deceit in business. Truly enjoyable read.

Historia
Today’s conservatives know what they’re against. They’re anti-woke, anti-globalist, anti-big government. But what exactly do they stand for? The fact that this is a hard question to answer is a damning indictment of the modern Republican Party which has abjectly failed to articulate an affirmative alternative to the left’s vision. Ramaswamy calls on the conservative movement to articulate exactly what it stands for, or else warns of another illusory “red wave” in 2024.

Vivek is a very bright and common sense individual. He is candid and honest with his comments even if they may go against the norm. I found the book to be interesting and factual with the hope that Vivek will play a greater role in politics or society in the future.

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

Tulsi’s Honesty
Revisado: 09-24-24
I have a lot of respect for Tulsi in making a courageous decision to follow her values rather than be associated with a political party that has become corrupt with power,
Tulsi’s truths and message cannot be dismissed in understanding the impact unlimited political power can have on the culture and morality of our country.

Historia
In his final hours in the Oval Office, the outgoing President grants a controversial last-minute pardon to Joel Backman, a notorious Washington power broker who has spent the last six years hidden away in a federal prison. What no one knows is that the President issues the pardon only after receiving enormous pressure from the CIA. It seems Backman, in his power broker heyday, may have obtained secrets that compromise the world’s most sophisticated satellite surveillance system.

Historia
When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue, and charismatic fantasist.

“He can change the world”
Revisado: 12-09-23
Extremely interesting to understand Elon Musk and all of his faults as well as his positive risk taking attribute. A rather complex person who is wired differently than many of us. However this is the type of untraditional person who can see the big picture and achieve results that others cannot.

Historia
On January 20, 2021, standing where only two weeks earlier police officers had battled with right-wing paramilitaries, Joe Biden took his oath of office. The American people were still sick with COVID-19, his economists were already warning him of an imminent financial crisis, and his party, the Democrats, had the barest of majorities in the Senate. Yet, faced with an unprecedented set of crises, Joe Biden decided he would not play defense. Instead, he set out to transform the nation.

Political Candor
Revisado: 10-02-23
I have read about prior administrations and it is always interesting to understand how they operate in no some cases differently behind the scenes.
The word empathy was used early in the book, which I think reflect the author’s approach. There were several significant topics like Kamala and the border that were glossed rather than doing a deeper dive by providing more information. The border is a mess!! This also pertains to Afghanistan which was a chaotic disaster with very little planning - actually it was shameful how it was handled. Then there was Ukraine which instead of giving Joe praise for how he handled it. I would questioned how did he let it occur with all the advance knowledge he had about it happening.
I am not a politician and I know much goes behind the scenes when making decisions. Unfortunately the more I read the more I am disappointed and feel that America as they say is in decline. We need to hold both parties accountable for their actions.

Historia
If you’re a never-Trumper, maybe you’d like to understand better your Trump-supporting relative at Thanksgiving dinner. Over 74 million of your fellow Americans voted for Trump in 2020. Despite all the things about him that make you crazy, they decided, "that’s my guy", and filled in the dot or pulled the lever. Why did they? How could they? Is there any way to bridge the gap between you and them?

Overall thoughts
Revisado: 09-04-23
Although the author discusses very relevant and current topics facing both political parties (thank you). He tends to personalize and at times wander in discussing these topics never really addressing concretely why people could support trump. In the end he mentions throughout the book he was critical about the party of Lincoln which was very apparent. I believe there is much criticism to be given to both parties and the media is not fair and balance even though the author made it clear in does not see it that way with CNN, With that said, I think the book should be titled - Why Reasonable People Should Not Support Trump or the Republican Party.
There is much wrong with our political system on both sides, and we cannot be blinded by the fact that one is better than the other.
Again there were many good topics discussed, unfortunately they were targeting at one party.

Historia
It’s no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 16 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light. In the first chapter, Tolle introduces listeners to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind.

A very different view of spirituality than I am accustom to by also very enlightening. There are principles that should be practice but what the author is asking I think will be very difficult to achieve by the average person.

For business leaders and public figures in any arena, The Speed of Trust offers an unprecedented and eminently practical look at exactly how trust functions in our every transaction and relationship - from the most personal to the broadest, most indirect interaction - and how to establish trust immediately so that you and your organization can forego the time - killing, bureaucratic check - and - balance processes so often deployed in lieu of actual trust.

Historia
Hated and hailed, excoriated and revered, Abraham Lincoln was at the pinnacle of American power when secessionists gave no quarter in a clash of visions bound up with money, race, identity, and faith. In him we can see the possibilities of the presidency as well as its limitations. This book tells the story of Lincoln from his birth on the Kentucky frontier to his leadership during the Civil War to his tragic assassination: his rise, his self-education, his loves, his bouts of depression, his political failures, his deepening faith, and his persistent conviction that slavery must end.

Abraham Lincoln
Revisado: 12-17-22
Extremely interesting and well presented. Although many know of Abraham Lincoln this sheds a new light on his courage & bravery as he faced a divided nation placing moral correctness above politics.
