Hilarys America

For more than a decade, a harsh Congressional immigration policy kept most Jewish refugees out of America, even as Hitler and the Nazis closed in. In 1944, the US finally acted. That year, Franklin D. Roosevelt created the War Refugee Board and put a young Treasury lawyer named John Pehle in charge. Over the next 20 months, Pehle and his team tricked the Nazis, forged identity papers, maneuvered food and medicine into concentration camps, recruited spies, leaked news stories, laundered money, negotiated ransoms, and funneled millions of dollars into Europe.

Julia Ward (1819-1910) was an heiress and aspiring poet when she married Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe, an internationally acclaimed pioneer in the education of the blind. Together the Howes knew many of the key figures of their era, from Charles Dickens to John Brown. But Samuel also wasted Julia's inheritance, isolated and discouraged her, and opposed her literary ambitions. Julia persisted and continued to publish poems and plays while raising six children.

Within an aura of uncertainty about ourselves within the political turmoil created by Barack Obama and his anti-Christian administration, our nation now has no vision for an optimistic future for ourselves. Within those obscured dreams of our future, we twice elected a president who did not, and does not, share those foundational expectations and dreams for our nation’s future. Those were the dreams, expectations, and aspirations designed for each of us by our Founding Fathers, those brave and foresightful ancestors who fought and died for us. Many fought and died to grant us liberty and ...

Every evening for eight years, at his request, President Obama was given 10 handpicked letters written by ordinary American citizens - the unfiltered voice of a nation - from his Office of Presidential Correspondence. He was the first president to interact daily with constituent mail and to archive it in its entirety. In To Obama, Jeanne Marie Laskas interviews President Obama, the letter writers themselves, and the White House staff who sifted through the powerful, moving, and incredibly intimate narrative of America during the Obama years:

Who is Barack Obama? Who really knows? He refuses to release critical information Americans need to understand who is really is. What are his ultimate plans for America? Who knows? He refuses to say. His only actions are to destroy the economic base of America and to appoint Islamic and Socialist radicals into critical leadership positions. Will America still be ‘One nation under God’ as our Founding Fathers intended at the end of his current term as president of the United States? The greater question is: will his current term ever end? Wouldn’t it be great if our president would ...

America’s beginning wasn’t easy or predestined. It took citizens of courage and wisdom not only to create that vision, but also to take those first bold steps. They sacrificed everything to give those who would come after them un-imagined freedom and opportunity. They saw only a future of prosperity, caring, decency, and fellowship for those later citizens. The people’s decision on November 6, 2012 changed that American dream their ancestors had fought so hard to fulfill. They elected Barack Hussein Obama as president of the United States of America. That was the day the bullet was ...

Baseball, first dubbed the "national pastime" in print in 1856, is the country's most tradition-bound sport. Despite remaining popular and profitable into the 21st century, the game is losing young fans. Furthermore, baseball's greatest charm - a clockless suspension of time - is also its greatest liability in a culture of digital distraction. These paradoxes are explored by the historian and passionate baseball fan Susan Jacoby in a book that is both a love letter to the game and a tough-minded analysis of the current challenges to its special position in American culture.

Oak Flat is a serene high-elevation mesa that sits above the Southeastern Arizona desert, 15 miles to the west of the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation. For the San Carlos tribe, Oak Flat is a holy place, an ancient burial ground and religious site where Apache girls celebrate the coming-of-age ritual known as the Sunrise Ceremony. In 1995, a massive untapped copper reserve was discovered nearby.

What are Barack Obama’s plans for our great nation, America? His words, inclinations, and actions strongly suggest his plans are not the same as those who fought for and formed this nation designed for our happiness, opportunity, and protection. He leads us on a different and more dangerous path. America has been led by many leaders in our history. Some have been great leaders, and some not so great. Whether great or not, those leaders in our past were guided by one commonality. All those leaders professed, in larger or lesser degree, a belief in God as our Creator, and as the foundation ...

This book identifies and explains those attacks so patriotic Americans will understand. There are many attacks. One major attack on our nation and the world is guided by a program ...

The 2016 Presidential election will be remembered for ages not only for producing the biggest upset in the history of American politics, but also for the colorfulness of the primaries of both the Democratic and the Republican parties. When Bernie Sanders, the little-known independent senator from small state Vermont boldly stated that he was a Democratic Socialist, and then began his race for the White House as a Democratic Party candidate, hardly anyone took him seriously. After all, he was up against the entire Democratic Party establishment and their favored candidate Hillary Clinton. ...

"I liked you better before you became political. When all you cared about was making movies about cops, cyborgs, and brain-dead zombies." "I liked you better before you became one of those brain-dead zombies." Marxist-spouting professors. Tolerant Westside liberals refusing to be tolerant. Angry protesters beating motorists and appropriating their cars in the name of "justice." Is this hell? No, it's Los Angeles. On the most divisive day of the year, in the most racially-charged city in America, recently red-pilled movie producer John Duke is about to learn what political correctness really...
