On November 5, 2024, Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris to secure his position as the 47th president of the United States. But when it came time for the inauguration, some Trump supporters remained skeptical. They remembered him bending over for Fauci in 2020. They remembered his horrific staffing choices during his first term, many of whom made enormous sums of money by publicly turning on him. They were worried this would be the same old, same old. Within a day, even his biggest skeptic had to concede that they were wrong. The winning had started and still has yet to stop.

How did "the West" come to be used as a collective self-designation signaling political and cultural commonality? Was the idea handed down from the ancient Greeks, or coined by nineteenth-century imperialists? Neither, writes Georgios Varouxakis in The West, his ambitious and fascinating genealogy of the idea.

This book is an abstract analysis of authority itself, but more than this it is the sum of the author’s critical investigation into its history, essence, meaning, purpose, as well as into its various applications, both modern and ...

The experts had it wrong. Spectacularly wrong. Election Night 2024 stunned the nation—maps bleeding red in ways no network model saw coming. CNN stammered, MSNBC scrambled, and Lichtman’s vaunted 13 Keys collapsed under the weight of a new political reality. One forecast stood alone in the chaos: The Five-Point Forecast. It didn’t just predict the outcome—it explained it. This is the electrifying autopsy of a broken prediction industry—and the rise of a model that dared to put voters, not pundits, at the center. In Why Trump Won, you’ll witness the fall of academic orthodoxy and...

A horror-story history of capitalism and its relationship to the haunted and the gothic, and a manifesto of Gothic Marxism, which finds revolutionary hope in the nightmare of modernity. What does it mean to see horror in capitalism? What can horror tell us about the state and nature of capitalism?

What does it mean to call something "new"? Why is Western art and culture, even after postmodernism, still so obsessed with the concept? What are the consequences of relying on culture to bring about social change? In this provocative book, David Balzer argues that Western culture was never designed to produce truly new or original artifacts. Rather, we move from fixation to fixation, trend to trend—a cycle of creation and destruction with deep origins in Judeo-Christianity and the paganism that preceded it.

What does it mean to be cosmopolitan? Typically, cosmopolitanism is understood as a broad moral orientation, involving some kind of commitment to global moral equality. On this understanding, to be cosmopolitan is simply to evidence that moral orientation oneself. By contrast, Being Cosmopolitan takes up a thoroughly political approach. The focus is on what it might mean, and what it is like, to be political in a distinctly cosmopolitan form.

These McNaughton Tubes were ready to blow in the faces of the invading Germans and thankfully never used. At the end of the war these tubes were removed, but unfortunately some tubes were missed. After 75 years they are still in the ground and some are under people's houses. This report examines who and why they were installed, who took them out, why some were missed and who is being falsely blamed for them ...
